Tang Yue was busy bustling about, and when she ca out to grab sothing, she accidentally bumped into soone.
"What are you doing?" Tang Jun stood protectively in front of Tang Yue, blocking the person who had bumped into Xiao Yue. Dressed in black with a hat on, their features were indiscernible, but their gaze was fixed on Tang Yue's wrist.
On Tang Yue's fair wrist, a golden chain was visible. Tang Jun quickly shielded Tang Yue behind him, his face full of wariness.
"What's wrong?" Zhang Qiang and Wei Jiajie ran over. Although the three of them looked young, they were quite tall, especially Wei Jiajie, the tallest among them. Standing there, he probably obscured Tang Yue completely.
"It's nothing, I just accidentally bumped into him," Tang Yue couldn't help but speak up. It was her who had gone to fetch sothing.
Right when she was about to apologize, Tang Jun had arrived.
"Sister, it's fine, definitely his lack of attention," muttered Tang Jun as he saw the person in black turn and walk away. He looked at Tang Yue's wrist and asked, "Sister Xiao Yue, when did you get such a pretty chain?"
He hadn't noticed it before.
"Aunt Lian gave it to ," said Tang Yue, raising her wrist. Originally, she didn't want to wear it, but Zhang Hualian said it was beautiful and insisted she wear it. Moreover, the chain wasn't thick and looked exceptionally good on her wrist.
However, that man, upon seeing the chain, seed quite shocked.
Tang Yue tilted her head, feeling sothing off about that man's gaze.
"Sister Xiao Yue, it is really pretty, but could that man have seen it was made of gold?" asked Tang Jun.
"That shouldn't be the case," Tang Yue said uncertainly. The chain was really fine, but its design was unique.
"Sister Xiao Yue, I think it's better if you don't go off alone," Wei Jiajie said.
Zhang Qiang nodded and said, "The few of us can take turns staying by Sister Xiao Yue's side."
Wei Jiajie and Tang Jun both agreed wholeheartedly. The three of them, not to say they could take on ten, but facing two should be no problem, as long as the other party was a regular person, not a practitioner.
Jiang City.
Lian He finally dealt with the new property developnt, and he could see Huayue Forest Park was being planned according to his wishes.
Upon reaching Jiang City, Lian He had a thought and instructed his assistant to buy him a ticket to Jing City.
He hadn't seen Tang Yue in a long ti.
After Old Sir Lian's birthday, that rascal Lian Qingyang didn't stay for more than a couple of days before leaving. In contrast, he had been spinning like a top, swamped with never-ending tasks. He had clearly felt sowhat overwheld these days.
"Mr. Lian, your ticket has been rebooked," the assistant handed over the ticket to Jing City.
Thinking of the instructions his wife gave before leaving, he had even changed the return flight, but since Mr. Lian wanted to change to Jing City, she couldn't reach him from afar, let alone his minor assistant, who couldn't alter Mr. Lian's decision.

In Jing City, Lian Qingyang was unaware that Lian He was already on his way there. He had just received a call from Lian Tong, excitedly he said: "Aunt, I have..." sothing important to tell you.
Before he could finish, Lian Tong's voice burst forth from the phone like fireworks, saying: "Qingyang, Gu Chun should be in Jing City. Have your people help look for him, I'm flying to Jing City right now."
"Aunt," Lian Qingyang hurriedly interjected.
"Doot... Doot..."
The busy tone on the other end of the phone left Lian Qingyang silently staring at the phone, tilting his head as he pondered. Gu Chun has co to Jing City?
Could his people find Gu Chun?
Lian Qingyang didn't believe it. Didn't everyone know that Aunt Lian Tong had been looking for Gu Chun for so long without even a glimpse of his shadow? How could he possibly find him?
Yet Lian Qingyang still sent people to search, figuring that since Lian Tong had arrived in Jing City, they would inevitably et sooner or later.
On August 2nd, the evening breeze was refreshing, dispersing the restlessness in people's hearts.
Tang Yue and Zhang Hualian sat in a room, having talked for a long while. Zhang Hualian's earnest exhortations made Tang Yue feel as if she were in a dream.
In her past life, Zhang Hualian had wished to sever the mother-daughter relationship with her.
In this life, Zhang Hualian's earnest exhortations left Tang Yue dazed. Two versions of Zhang Hualian flashed in her mind and finally, the image of the beautiful Zhang Hualian solidified in front of Tang Yue. Googlᴇ search novel⸺fire
"Mom, I'm just getting married, and I will still co back to see you," said Tang Yue, holding Zhang Hualian's hand. Looking at Zhang Hualian's increasingly beautiful face, she couldn't help but smile and said, "Later, when Xiao Jun gets admitted to a university in Jing City, you both could co and live in Jing City. Then, our family will be reunited."
"Okay." Zhang Hualian's smile hung on her lips. Although she knew Mo Siyu was good to Xiao Yue, the thought of her daughter becoming part of soone else's family filled Zhang Hualian's heart with reluctance.
After dinner, Tang Yue tried not to be alone, not knowing if it was because Tang Jun and others were too cautious, making her paranoid as well. She just felt that the man in black she encountered today was sowhat suspicious.

The ng residence.
Old Master ng was so angry that his mustache bristled, and his eyes widened as he insisted, "Tomorrow, I must attend. I am Si Yu's grandfather, and Si Yu has changed his surna to ng. If I don't show up, do you want outsiders to think I don't acknowledge Si Yu?"
"I know, the things that happened before made Si Yu suffer, but... that was just a misunderstanding."
When Old Master ng talked about this, he still felt very guilty.
"Dad, tomorrow is Si Yu's..." As soon as ng Jin started to speak with a reluctant tone, Old Master ng interrupted, "I am just going to join the excitent tomorrow, what's wrong with that? Are you suggesting I shouldn't even watch my own grandson's bride enter our household? Do you want others to laugh at the ng family?"
The ng family's jokes have long been exposed for others to see.
ng Jin's lips quivered as he thought this, but he certainly dared not to speak such words out loud. If it upset the old man and caused trouble, that would be a real ss.
"ng Jin, let tell you, if you let go tomorrow, I'll just be there for the show. If you don't let , I'll have to go anyway." Old Master ng was very firm on this point.
How could he not attend his own grandson's wedding? If he did not go, would he still be considered a grandfather?
If it had been before, when he did not know that Si Yu was a ng family descendant, it might have been okay, but now that he knows and notwithstanding his previous misunderstanding and unresolved forgiveness, he could understand. However, he couldn't understand not being allowed to attend the wedding.

All night long, Tang Yue dared not be alone. After settling down safely into bed and closing the door, she suddenly felt she might be relaxing too soon.
"Don't make a sound." A male voice sounded. The man covered Tang Yue's mouth, his knife pressing against her throat, the cold blade touching her skin.
"Where did you get the chain on your wrist?" The man grasped her hand, scrutinizing the chain carefully; indeed, it was his.
