Chapter 888: Chapter 868: Fortunately, There’s Still One More Card
Qhianqhian stared wide-eyed, utterly confused.
Tang Tianyi chuckled softly, gently tucking a loose strand of hair behind Qhianqhian’s ear: "From now on, I’ll always be by your side."
After saying that, he left with his ears burning red, not waiting for any response from Qhianqhian.
Qhianqhian touched her own ear in disbelief, wondering what just happened. Why was her face so hot?
When Qin Nuan returned, she saw Qhianqhian still looking dazed and laughed, "What? Were you accosted? Should I tell Uncle?"
"What are you talking about?" Qhianqhian rolled her eyes exasperatedly, "I have a fiancé."
Speaking of which, Qhianqhian suddenly remembered the news about Jimo Cheng and Jimo Kong leaving the Luo Family. She was stunned for a long time before asking, "They, left?"
Qin Nuan was taken aback for a moment before understanding what Qhianqhian was talking about and sighed, "I don’t know."
"Then..." Qhianqhian wanted to say something but ultimately didn’t ask, her flushed face turning into a worried expression.
Jimo Cheng, what on earth is going on with you?
In the afternoon, Diwu Yan sent a few people back to the Capital City. Qhianqhian was directly dragged back to the Luo Family by Luo Xiying, and Qin Nuan was also sent home by Bai Yixian. There was no doubt Tang Tianyi was with Bai Yixian too.
After they sent off Qin Nuan, the two sat in the car, exchanged a glance, and both broke into a bitter smile.
"Where to now?" Bai Yixian looked up at the sky, noticing it was dreary and could snow at any moment.
"Go for a drink?" Tang Tianyi shrugged helplessly.
The two of them were currently people who couldn’t enter the Luo Family’s doorstep.
It felt like they shared a common plight.
"Let’s go find a place to stay first." Bai Yixian sighed, his face full of helplessness and reflection.
After a few years, Tang Tianyi might still have a chance to enter the Luo Family openly. But what about him?...
Qhianqhian stood at the door, a bit dumbfounded, "Where’s Baozi?"
"Don’t change the subject, I’m warning you, if you make your grandparents worry, I’ll give you a beating." Luo Xiying was too focused to care about Baozi or dumplings.
Qhianqhian looked at her dead phone, sighed, knowing she had to charge it when she got home.
As soon as she pushed open the door, a black alpaca appeared in front of her.
"Shijin?" Qhianqhian stared blankly at the creature before her, noticing the thing hanging around its neck and looking bewildered, "How did Shijin get here?"
"I brought it." Fang Youyuan’s voice was very calm, holding onto Shijin from behind, "You’re back? Must have been tiring."
Qhianqhian slowly shook her head, "No big deal... It won’t fight with Baozi, will it?"
Baozi was a dog, very territorial.
Qhianqhian thought to herself, glancing around and then noticed Fang Youyuan looking a bit troubled, "What’s wrong, senior brother?"
"Um... Baozi was taken away by Jin Nian." Fang Youyuan fell silent for a moment.
Qhianqhian was stunned where she stood, oh right, the Jimo Cheng situation!
"Is senior brother alright?" Qhianqhian asked nervously, grabbing Fang Youyuan, her face full of concern.
Fang Youyuan shook his head, "He should be fine, I got the news before they boarded the plane."
Stunned, Qhianqhian’s face showed some panic. She checked her phone, pulled out a charger from her bag, kicked off her shoes, and rushed to the nearest power outlet to plug in the charger.
"Qhianqhian, this is a letter from Jin Nian for you." Yue Tingyu and Old Master Luo were sitting on the sofa. It wasn’t until this moment that Yue Tingyu stood up with the new letter.
Originally happy to see Qhianqhian return, but then not knowing how to tell her about these things, they both stayed still on the sofa.
Qhianqhian looked puzzled as she took the letter and opened it.
Qhianqhian, hope you’re well upon reading this:
By the time you read this letter, I should already be miles away from you, not knowing how you are now.
I’m really sorry about the Jimo Family situation, for bringing trouble to you, but I hope you’ll believe me, I just want you to be well.
The days with you were truly happy, but I’m sorry, I cannot stay with you. Writing this letter marks the end of our engagement.
It’s better this way. I appeared out of nowhere and disrupted your original path.
Now you can return to your original path.
I don’t regret appearing. If we hadn’t met, I wouldn’t have known what this feeling is like.
There’s beauty in books; there’s a golden house in books; even the beauty in books doesn’t compare to you; the golden house doesn’t compare to you.
May you find happiness.
Jimo Cheng
Closing the letter, Qhianqhian looked at Old Master Luo with disbelief, "Senior brother canceled our engagement?!"
Old Master Luo’s face darkened, nodding slightly.
"What happened with the Jimo Family?!" Qhianqhian directed her gaze at Fang Youyuan, pulling him outside without care, leaving Luo Xiying inside, her face grave, "What’s going on?"
Fang Youyuan scratched his head without speaking.
Qhianqhian glared coldly, "It’s fine if you don’t tell me, but Elvis won’t lie to me."
"I didn’t say I wouldn’t tell you." Fang Youyuan sighed and explained everything, including the final cremation of the male body.
Qhianqhian stood frozen, "So, do they think I’m the type who cares about family background? That’s what they think of me? How can they do this at a time like this... How can they..."
"This is the best for you." Fang Youyuan gave a wry smile, "You know, the Jimo Family has frozen all their accounts."
"... Then..." Qhianqhian stood there in shock.
The next second, she re-entered the room, rushing toward her phone.
Turning it on...
She found nothing but a few innocuous messages, two from Jimo Cheng: one saying he took Baozi and would take good care of him, and the other saying he was boarding the plane and they’d meet again someday if fate allowed.
The rest were from the bank.
She saw the recent transaction times and the balance. Stunned, she turned and pulled Fang Youyuan outside, "Let’s go to the bank!"
Hearing that Jimo Cheng still had a card in Qhianqhian’s name, Fang Youyuan was taken aback, then smiled with joy, "That’s great."
They went to the bank to handle a transfer.
Looking at the receipt, Qhianqhian exhaled lightly, turning to Fang Youyuan, "Even without the engagement, senior brother and I will still be friends, right?"
"Friends... is that so?" Fang Youyuan paused, then smiled bitterly.
He looked out at the snowflakes drifting past the car window and said softly, "Qhianqhian, you probably never liked him, huh? You still don’t know what liking someone is, right?"
"What?" Qhianqhian looked confused.
"Nothing, it’s fine. You’re still young, and that’s okay." Fang Youyuan looked out the window, a trace of sadness passing over his face.
Fortunately, both of them were still young, with plenty of time to enjoy the future.
