Originally headed straight back to Jing City, but on the way, they were intercepted.
"Sister Xiao Yue, Grandpa said that if you don’t visit Sea City, he’s going to co to Jing City to find you." Lian Qingyang was about to grab Tang Yue’s hand when he was stopped by ng Siyu.
ng Siyu dominantly pulled her into his embrace, not allowing Lian Qingyang any chance to touch her.
"Brother-in-law, you’re being too petty. I’m Xiao Yue’s real younger brother!" Lian Qingyang couldn’t help but complain. Before, he was very close to Sister Xiao Yue, but with ng Siyu, this man who constantly emitted a cold aura, whenever he got close, that gaze was like it could freeze soone to death.
"He’s still a guy," ng Siyu stated matter-of-factly.
Tang Yue fell silent. This man really... he gets jealous over everything. She cleared her throat and said, "Qingyang, well, I’ll visit Grandpa, and I have to return to Jing City tomorrow. I still haven’t visited Grandpa ng and my in-laws yet."
"Uh..." Lian Qingyang thought for a mont and then readily agreed.
After all, Grandpa only asked for Sister Xiao Yue to co ho; he didn’t say she couldn’t leave tomorrow.
By the ti Tang Yue and ng Siyu arrived at the Lian Family’s ho, it was already evening, and the Lian Family had dinner ready, but they were all waiting for them.
"Grandpa, Happy New Year, wishing you good health, fortune as vast as the Eastern seas, and longevity like the evergreen pines of the Southern hills." From Tang Yue’s mouth, auspicious words sprung forth that especially delighted everyone.
Upon seeing Tang Yue, Old Sir Lian could not stop smiling. He said, "Girl, if I had longevity like the evergreen pines of the Southern hills, I’d turn into an old demon."
"Grandpa is definitely not an old demon. In the future, Grandpa is sure to live a long and healthy life." Tang Yue’s voice was clear and crisp; what were just common congratulatory words seed exceptionally pleasant coming from her.
Old Sir Lian handed over a red envelope he had prepared, saying, "Very good, very good. It would be even better if you could add a great-grandchild to the Lian Family soon."
"Grandpa, let’s take it as it cos," Tang Yue said with a sowhat embarrassed smile. Although she did also want children, her studies were not yet finished, and she was about to go to Country F as an exchange student, which really wasn’t a good ti.
Old Sir Lian couldn’t stop smiling as he looked at Tang Yue and then at ng Siyu. "You two make such a beautiful couple; the great-grandchild will certainly be gorgeous."
"Grandpa, the children of Xiao Yue and I will naturally be the most outstanding," ng Siyu said as he tightened his grip on Tang Yue’s hand, his mind inevitably fantasizing about how incredibly adorable their children would be.
"Well, when will you have them so we can see?" Lian Qingyang asked eagerly.
ng Siyu gave him a sideways glance.
Tang Yue cleared her throat and said, "Lian Qingyang, I need to study!"
Lian Qingyang touched his nose and said, "That’s right, you’re still a sophomore."
"If you do have a child, just give birth. The Lian Family can afford to raise it; the school won’t dare to say a word," Old Sir Lian said seriously.
Tang Yue had the urge to hide away.
Speaking of Old Sir Lian, even her biological father, Lian He, upon hearing about children, repeatedly reminded Tang Yue that if she becos pregnant, she should give birth, for abortion can cause great harm to a girl’s body.
After staying at the Lian Family’s ho for a day, Tang Yue felt very comfortable. The Lian Family was quite wealthy in Sea City, but both Old Sir Lian and Lian He were very gentle and reasonable people. They didn’t put on airs, which made Tang Yue feel very comfortable.
The next day when Tang Yue and ng Siyu left, Old Sir Lian was angry.
Even though Tang Yue had brought workout clothes as a gift for the old man, Old Sir Lian was still not happy. In the end, it was only after Tang Yue promised to call him frequently after returning to Jing City that he softened.
Especially when he learned that Tang Yue was going to be an exchange student in Country F, Old Sir Lian and Lian He exchanged looks. As soon as she left, they began to discuss buying a house near the school in Country F.
Lian Qingyang sat beside them, finding it all very novel. He had always thought that his grandfather only liked him. For the several granddaughters in the family, Old Sir Lian wasn’t very close to them, not even to his own granddaughter Lian Qingqing. In front of Old Sir Lian, she was treated just like the other granddaughters, with no special treatnt.
Lian Qingyang had always thought that his grandfather favored boys over girls, but it wasn’t until this mont that he realized Old Sir Lian actually favored girls over boys!
To think that he even wanted to buy a house to ensure Sister Xiao Yue’s year of study in Country F would be comfortable.
He knew that when Lian Qingqing went abroad to study jewelry design, neither the grandfather nor the father agreed, let alone took care of the arrangents for Lian Qingqing.
The house in Country Y for Lian Qingqing was all managed by Xiang Yazhi, and Lian He didn’t even provide the money because he disapproved of Lian Qingqing going abroad.
Sister Xiao Yue is just charming.
Lian Qingyang thought happily, even imagining how nice it would be if he could go to study in Country F too.
...
On the plane to Jing City, Tang Yue and ng Siyu brought a box full of things, all from Old Sir Lian and Lian He. If it wasn’t for the limitations of flying, they would have brought even more extravagant gifts.
Tang Yue was taken aback by the amount of money in the New Year’s money packet she received last night.
Both Old Sir Lian and Lian He, like they had made a tacit agreent, each gave US$ 50,000.
The two gift packets alone added up to US$ 100,000, and along with other bits and pieces from the uncles, it totaled up to about US$ 150,000.
"Si Yu, with this New Year’s visiting, one could really get rich." Tang Yue couldn’t help but sigh. In the past, having one or two dollars in New Year’s money was already a lot, and if there were five dollars, one could be over the moon with joy.
But now...
"The elders from the Lian Family are all very good to you," ng Siyu said, holding her hand. Other than Xiang Yazhi, who had fallen out of favor, essentially no one in Sea City recognized Xiang Yazhi as Lian He’s wife.
If she behaves and keeps a low profile, that would be best. Otherwise... there’s no need for him to act, with Lian He’s temperant, he certainly wouldn’t let Xiao Yue be bullied. Thinking this, ng Siyu felt completely at ease.
Jing City.
ng Siyu took Tang Yue directly to the ng Family ho, where Old Master ng had been eagerly awaiting their return. He had previously had a falling out with his grandson ng Siyu, but now Old Master ng was doing his best to change. Although ng Siyu wasn’t very close to him, the fact that he was willing to change his surna to ng and co to the ng Family made Old Master ng very happy.
ng Siyu’s deanor and the like, Old Master ng didn’t dare to put on any airs of an elder.
When the young couple arrived with gifts, Old Master ng kept his posture very low, his approachability masked with a hint of ingratiating behavior.
The nearly septuagenarian Old Master ng, with his graying hair and a face lined with wrinkles, shared his careful eagerness to please. Tang Yue didn’t know what ng Siyu thought, but it reminded her of Old Sir Lian.
