"The wedding banquet for the two children is coming up soon, but your mother and Mengya are still here. They are both against Qingyan and Zhengting being together, and I'm afraid they will cause some trouble at the banquet."

Mr. Lu understood what she meant: "I'll go ask them when they're going back to Beijing. If they want to leave, I absolutely won't stop them."

After Shen Mengya returned to the educated youth settlement, Grandma Lu quickly asked her where she had been.

"Mengya, why are you only coming back now? Where have you been?"

"I... I just went out for a stroll."

"You don't look well, did something happen?"

"No, Grandma, I'm fine."

Shen Mengya quickly smiled at Old Madam Lu. She would never tell Old Madam Lu what had happened today; it was too embarrassing.

Grandma Lu nodded. "We don't have anything else to do here, so why don't we go back to Beijing?"

"Back to the capital?"

Shen Mengya was very reluctant to go back; she hadn't yet witnessed Lin Qingyan's pain at losing her younger brother.

"Grandma, I don't want to leave yet. My brother Zhengting is getting married today. I wonder if they will have a banquet here. We should attend his banquet before we leave."

"You still want to attend their banquet?" Grandma Lu shook her head. "Grandma was just afraid you'd be upset seeing their wedding banquet, that's why I was in a hurry to bring you back to Beijing. If you want to go back, Grandma won't attend their banquet."

"No, Grandma, I'm not going back. It's such a big event as Zhengting's wedding, how can I not be there? Let's wait until they have their banquet before we go back."

He estimated that if the Yi family received the call and set off immediately, they should arrive by tomorrow, and then there would be a good show to watch.

"I don't even know if they'll have a banquet yet. Oh well, who cares?" Anyway, she wasn't marrying the granddaughter-in-law she wanted. "If they don't have a banquet, should we leave?"

"Grandma, there's no need to rush. It would be nice to stay a couple more days and enjoy the scenery."

"You still have the mood to look at the scenery? The person you love belongs to someone else. Aren't you heartbroken?"

In order to stay here, Shen Mengya pretended that she had already let go of the past.

"Grandma, no matter how much I like Brother Zhengting, he's already married. What can I do? Can I force him to stay by my side?"

Grandma, I've come to terms with it. You can't force things. Rather than going through all the trouble to pursue someone who doesn't like you and ending up hurt, it's better to let go sooner rather than later.

Grandma, I regret not letting go sooner, that's why I'm in so much pain. I won't do it again.

"It's good that you've come to your senses. When we get back to Beijing, Grandma will definitely have someone introduce you to a top-notch woman."

"Okay, Grandma."

Not long after lunch, Mr. Lu came to find them.
