He Tiantian treated everyone around her with a grateful heart. However, reaching middle age, she discovered she had been living inside a full-bodied lie.
Returning to the year 1970, He Tianti...

Qi Zhenghan looked somewhat confused.
“Obsession is not love. If you meet a good girl, you can open your heart and have a proper relationship. Perhaps you can find your own unforgettable love,” Huo Yingjie encouraged, even using some of his divine sense.
Huo Yingjie's good-natured advice to Qi Zhenghan stemmed from two reasons: firstly, he didn't want He Tiantian to be upset or put in a difficult position because of his strained relationship with Qi Zhenghan; secondly, he didn't want to affect the cooperation and relationship between the three families.
The Qi family and the Bai family both need economic benefits; the Huo family needs political benefits.
The three companies have been inseparable since the start of their collaboration.
If an unexpected event occurs, it will inevitably bring huge impact and losses to the three companies.
Neither internally nor externally did Huo Yingjie want to see this outcome.
“Obsession is not love…” Qi Zhenghan murmured to himself, his eyes becoming even more unfocused as he looked up into the sky.
Huo Yingjie did not disturb Qi Zhenghan's contemplation; some things must be figured out by oneself.
Even if Fok Ying-kit used some underhanded tactics, it still required the person's consent.
Qi Zhenghan didn't come to his senses until Qi Zhengmin came over to call everyone to eat.
When he looked at Huo Yingjie again, his smile had become more sincere.
He vaguely understood why He Tiantian liked Huo Yingjie!
Even as a imagined rival, Qi Zhenghan greatly admired Huo Yingjie.
At the same time, Qi Zhenghan's mood became as bright and sunny as the weather after a rain. He saw the sun in the sky, white clouds, blue sky, and a beautiful rainbow; instead of seeing only withered flowers and willows damaged by the rain, and fallen leaves and mud on the ground as before.
Grandma Qi noticed something was off about her grandson, but when asked to pinpoint exactly what was different, she couldn't explain it.
As long as her grandson continues like this, she has nothing to worry about.
After the meal, the two elderly people went to rest.
He Tiantian and Huo Yingjie took the child to their own room.
After taking a nap, Qi Zhenghan got up and personally escorted Huo Yingjie and He Tiantian home.
I originally intended to go to the company, but somehow I ended up driving to the shop near Sanfeng Bridge in the south of the city.
It's not nighttime now, would that girl still be working here?
However, after getting off the bus and arriving at the shop entrance, I saw that bright smiling face, warmly welcoming the guests.
Qi Zhenghan did not go in immediately, but stood at the door and carefully observed Zhang Mengmeng. He found that Zhang Mengmeng did not look very much like He Tiantian, and even thought that the few freckles on her nose were cute.
After seeing off the last guest, Zhang Mengmeng saw Qi Zhenghan outside the door and was stunned for a moment.
She hadn't seen Qi Zhenghan for a long time. She had felt lost and disappointed, but now she was at peace!
However, at this moment, he reappeared.
"Sir, what would you like to buy?" Zhang Mengmeng actually wanted to ask him what he had been busy with lately, as he hadn't come to buy anything in a long time.
But the words stuck in my throat.
Because she knew that she and he didn't have the relationship to ask those questions!
Qi Zhenghan smiled and said, "Cheesecake, butterfly pastry, red bean rolls..." He listed seven kinds, each costing one pound.
Zhang Mengmeng carefully wrote it down, packed it up, and calculated the money.
Qi Zhenghan paid the money but didn't leave. Instead, he glanced at Zhang Mengmeng a few more times.
Zhang Mengmeng forced herself to remain calm, telling herself not to panic. This time, she wouldn't be the clown who panicked first.
Qi Zhenghan is ten years older than Zhang Mengmeng, has rich experience, and is a business elite. He can see through Zhang Mengmeng's little scheme at a glance.
Perhaps, starting a relationship isn't such a bad thing.
He didn't know if he had calmed down or if Huo Yingjie's words had made him understand.
Anyway, he's in a great mood right now and wants someone to share his good mood with.
"Thank you!" Qi Zhenghan nodded and then left.
Watching Qi Zhenghan leave, Zhang Mengmeng felt a little disappointed. It's still the same!
What a scoundrel!
Sister Suyue is right, they are all sons of wealthy families, and they are all womanizers.
She's such a frivolous flower; she should just find a dandelion to pair up with.
She comforted herself with this thought, and encouraged Qi Zhenghan to come and buy things almost every day afterward, thus restraining herself.
Qi Zhenghan felt he had become a bad person. He found that he liked looking at Zhang Mengmeng's eyes, which wanted to look at him but dared not look directly at him. He also liked Zhang Mengmeng's feigned composure and liked the funny faces she made at him when he turned to leave.
Is this... this love?
Qi Zhenghan wasn't sure and was waiting for time to tell.
Seeing Qi Zhenghan in this state put Huo Yingjie at ease.
Sigh, Huo Yingjie must be quite worried about having a well-mannered, wealthy young man who looks similar to him constantly around He Tiantian!
Now it's all good. As long as Qi Zhenghan falls for another woman, he won't care about his sweet baby anymore. Even if he uses his divine sense and is punished, he won't care.
Huo Yingjie and He Tiantian are very sweet together. Absence makes the heart grow fonder, and that doesn't even begin to describe their current state.
They're as inseparable as lacquer and glue, as sweet as honey!
On this day, Huo Yingjie received two telegrams.
One of the letters was from Lao Lian, saying that he had found a few suitable houses for them and asked them to go and see them in person before making a decision.
The other telegram was an international telegram, addressed to He Tiantian. Bai Qiongyu was bringing He Jingyu and some others back, and Qi Shuliang and his wife would also be coming.
"Oh my, that's wonderful! Look at the time, let's go to Yanjing now to settle down the house, and then come back with Grandma and Uncle Qi's special train. Let's see if we make it in time!" He Tiantian said hurriedly. If you can hitch a ride on a special train, who would want to squeeze onto a regular train!
Huo Yingjie glanced at it and said, "We'll set off tomorrow and stay in Yanjing for three or four days. Grandmother and Uncle Qi will arrive in Yanjing soon. They probably have some things to discuss with some people, so they'll stay for a few more days. In total, we should have about seven or eight days, which should be enough for us."
“Okay, then let’s go to Yanjing,” He Tiantian said. “By the way, Grandma Wang, would you like to come with us?”
Seeing that there were two bodyguards protecting Huo Yingjie, and that four adults could take care of two children without any problem, Grandma Wang said, "Since we have enough people, I won't go. It's hot, and I can't handle it."
Seeing Grandma Wang say this, He Tiantian nodded and said, "Then Grandma Wang, you should rest well at home. If you feel bored, I'll take you to Grandma's. You're about the same age, so you'll definitely have a lot to talk about."
"Okay, then I'll pack my things and go find Sister Qi today." Grandma Wang really liked Third Grandma Qi's personality; they hit it off immediately!
They began corresponding with each other after their first meeting and developed a close relationship.
