In your past life, you looked down on me. Now that I have been reborn, I have become your uncle.
On the day of the engagement banquet, his fiancée went missing.
Having just been reborn,...
Zhuang Zhongming instructed him not to enter the house.
Gu Qian felt a pang of panic, and forced an awkward smile: "I just wanted to see my godmother. Wasn't she doing a live stream before? I haven't heard from her lately, I can't get through on the phone, and she's not replying to my texts. I'm a little worried about her. Could you pass on a message for me?"
"Madam has been ill these past few days and is unable to see anyone."
"Are you sick?" Gu Qian asked immediately. "Is it serious?"
“It’s an old problem. When this disease flares up, she doesn’t recognize people or remember anything. Mr. Zhuang is afraid that something might happen to her, so he let her stay at home to recuperate.”
Gu Qian looked at the villa behind the butler and secretly observed the butler's expression. He couldn't see anything strange, but that strange feeling just wouldn't go away.
The other party wouldn't let him in, and he couldn't force his way in. After standing there for a while, he could only leave sheepishly.
...
The video that went viral online was orchestrated by Gu Qian. He not only recorded a video for Tang Jing but also taught her how to do live streaming and even helped her attract viewers. As a newcomer to live streaming, she had 500,000 viewers on her first day, making Tang Jing even more famous. Her live streaming account gained over a million followers in just one day.
Tang Jing thoroughly enjoys being cared for, even if the care is fake. Having tasted the sweetness, she wishes she could livestream 24 hours a day, even while sleeping at night.
Zhuang Zhongming watched with trepidation, and he also loathed Tang Jing to the extreme. That's why he beat her so badly when he got home. The ferocity with which he hit her showed that he really wanted to beat Tang Jing to death.
Unfortunately, murder is illegal, and Tang Jing has gained too much attention. Her sudden disappearance would arouse suspicion, so he could only suppress his murderous intent and decided to slowly wear Tang Jing down.
She cut off his manhood, and he wanted her dead. Isn't that a bit much?
Tang Jing was already in poor health, suffering from mental illness for many years and taking medication every day. In time, no one would suspect anything if she died.
Besides Tang Jing, Gu Qian was also someone who annoyed him. All these troubles were caused by him. If it weren't for the Xia family backing him up, he would have already had someone deal with him.
A child adopted by someone else is never as good as a biological child. If a child is raised from a young age, there is still some affection involved in raising them. But a child who comes temporarily is like a robber breaking into your house.
Zhuang Chongming is no longer able to have his own children; his only biological child is Zhuang Yan.
It's better to give family property to one's own children than to outsiders; a traditional man values the bloodline of his offspring very much.
How can we get Zhuang Yan back to inherit the family fortune?
Zhuang Yan has a bad temper, so if you take the initiative to go find him, he definitely won't come back. Wait until he calms down a bit, then you can go find him. The father and son can sit down and talk things out. There's nothing that can't be resolved. By then, Zhuang Yan will have figured it out.
Compared to the chaos and turmoil on the Zhuang family's side, Zhuang Yan's side could be described as peaceful and serene.
Zhuang Yan came across a clip of Tang Jing's live stream online. If Tang Jing had such acting skills, she would have won awards long ago if she went into the entertainment industry. Why would she be afraid of not getting attention and care?
The melodramatic performance was so convincing that everyone in the live chat and comment section was completely absorbed.
Zhuang Yan is using a newly created private account. He doesn't dare to open his public account at all, because it's full of insults and malicious comments. Currently, netizens hope that he will listen to his mother and go home obediently.
The Mid-Autumn Festival is just around the corner. The Mid-Autumn Festival is also known as the Reunion Festival, which symbolizes family reunion.
Of all virtues, filial piety is the most important. If a person cannot even fulfill the most basic filial duties, how good can their character be? They are unworthy of being human and destined to achieve nothing.
Zhuang Zhuangyan has been keeping track of his money at home lately. He has already made back his football betting winnings with interest. Before he could even enjoy the money, he immediately bought another one. In just a few days, he has earned well over 100 million. To avoid being caught, he even created a new identity for himself.
During the time Lu Yan was at home, she spent most of her time at his house. Except for not sleeping together at night, they lived like people who had been living together for a long time.
Lu Yan ate and drank at Zhuang Yan's house every day, and also told him about what was happening outside.
For example, Zhuang Zhongming was discharged from the hospital and went home. He was hospitalized before because Tang Jing ruined his genitals.
Zhuang Yan was slightly surprised when he heard about this from Lu Yan.
In her past life, Tang Jing also stabbed Zhuang Zhongming, but this time she's even more ruthless.
Zhuang Zhongming is a very vengeful person, no wonder I haven't been able to see Tang Jing's live streams lately.
"The Mid-Autumn Festival is the day after tomorrow. What are your plans for spending it?" Lu Yan asked.
Zhuang Yan countered, "How do you want to live?"
Many people go out to play during the Mid-Autumn Festival. Recently, both of them have been trending on social media, and the topic is still trending. Their popularity is even higher than that of some popular celebrities. I'm afraid they will be recognized as soon as they go out, and they won't be able to enjoy themselves.
If we want to go out, we can only choose places with few people.
As Lu Yan was thinking, her phone suddenly rang. She took it out and saw that it was a text message from Jiang Ning.
Lu Yan put down her phone: "Jiang Ning couldn't reach you, so she contacted me, asking if you could accompany her to see her mother the day after tomorrow."
This news came from... Just moments ago, the two of them were discussing how to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival the day after tomorrow.
Before Zhuang Yan could answer, Lu Yan had already made her decision: "It's just the Mid-Autumn Festival, you should go with her. After all, Jiang Ning's mother watched you grow up, and you haven't seen her for many years."
Zhuang Yan asked, "And what about you?"
To avoid putting pressure on Zhuang Yan, Lu Yan said, "I just remembered that I have something to do that day; I have to see a relative."
"You want to go back to the Lu family?" In Zhuang Yan's memory, Lu Yan's relationship with the Lu family was not good. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but frown.
Lu Yan smiled, resting her chin on her hand: "What? Are you worried about me? Don't worry, no one dares to bully me. I can go back to the Lu family whenever I want. I won't go back for the Mid-Autumn Festival. I'm not lying to you. I really have to go see someone very important. When I have time, I'll take you with me. We'll go out during the day and come back at night. We'll admire the moon together tonight."
Since she said that, Zhuang Yan could only feel relieved.
Let's make mooncakes together tomorrow.
Lu Yan, acting on a whim, asked, "Can you make it?"
There are all sorts of mooncakes on the market now.
Zhuang Yan is a person who loves sweets, but he doesn't like mooncakes. He only tries one every Mid-Autumn Festival, and he eats mooncakes for the festive atmosphere.
Zhuang Yan imagined a tutorial: "I don't know how to make it, but it shouldn't be difficult. If you want to eat what I make, I'll buy the ingredients."
"Then I'd like to eat a five-nut mooncake."
"Many people don't like to eat five-nut mooncakes nowadays."
"The mooncake I eat the most every year is the five-nut mooncake. My mom made it when I was very young. I can't quite remember the taste, but I remember it was delicious. So every Mid-Autumn Festival I buy five-nut mooncakes to see if I can find the taste of my mom's."
This was the first time Lu Yan had mentioned her mother to Zhuang Yan.
"Call Jiang Ning back first. After you do, we'll go online to buy the ingredients for making mooncakes."
"OK."
