Chapter 148 The Ending

When Zhou Mu returned to China, Yan Songyu and Feifei were overjoyed. Zhou Ning's eyes also welled up with tears when she saw them. "Feifei, Aunt Yan, it's been a long time."

Feifei threw herself into Zhou Mu's arms, "You're so mean, you've been gone for so many years and haven't come back."

Zhou Mu wiped away her tears, "Alright, you're going to be a bride soon, why are you still crying so much?"

"Who said I'm a crybaby? I'm just touched. You didn't cry at all, so do you not want to see me?"

Zhou Mu protested, "I'm innocent! I've been very agitated since yesterday."

"Miss Zhou, now that you've finished catching up, shouldn't you remember how hard I worked to carry your luggage?"

"This is..." Yan Songyu's eyes lit up when she saw Kong Ying, and her gossipy gaze kept sweeping back and forth between Kong Ying and Zhou Mu.

Before Zhou Mu could speak, Kong Ying eagerly introduced herself, "Aunt Yan, it's me, Kong Ying."

"Kong Ying!"

"Kong Ying!"

Yan Songyu and Feifei both showed the same surprised expression.

Feifei circled around Kong Ying a few times, asking, "Are you really Kong Ying?"

"Of course, who else could it be but me? So, are you captivated by my handsome looks? But don't forget, your fiancé is still watching from behind."

Feifei pouted, "Who's been captivated by you? I'm just surprised by how much boys change as they grow up."

"Okay, okay, I know, but if you praise me in front of your fiancé, he'll probably get jealous."

Feifei turned around and hugged Han Jie's arm. "He wouldn't do that. I love him the most."

Han Jie smiled and put his arm around Fei Fei's waist, his gaze towards Kong Ying containing a hint of provocation.

Kong Ying shrugged. Why was she so hostile towards him? He really wasn't back to steal the bride; more importantly, he couldn't possibly win anyway…

Yan Songyu's gossipy gaze never left Zhou Mu and Kong Ying the entire way. Upon arriving at the restaurant where they were being welcomed, she couldn't help but ask, "Mu Mu, you and Kong Ying, you two..."

"We're just good friends, Aunt Yan. But if you want to urge Zhou Mu to get married, I can give you some information. She's been dating a blond, blue-eyed British guy for over a year, and their relationship is stable. If you want to urge her, that's fine. I've checked him out for you, and he's really good."

The conflict shifted to Zhou Mu. Kong Ying enjoyed the delicious food from her hometown with satisfaction, and even took a moment to glance at Zhou Mu, who was trying her best to answer her parents' questions. Yan Songyu and Feifei practically asked Zhou Mu's boyfriend about his ancestors for eighteen generations.

"Why didn't you bring him back to see us?" Yan Songyu was most concerned. She hoped that Zhou Mu could also be happy, but she had never met him, and even though Zhou Mu and Kong Ying spoke eloquently about him, she was still worried.

"Of course, I'm not trying to interfere with your freedom to choose your partner; I just want to meet him."

Zhou Mu squeezed her hand back. "I know you care about me. Thank you, Aunt Yan."

"Does he have time? Why don't we invite him to my wedding? It would be a good opportunity for us to get to know each other," Feifei suggested.

She also wanted to assess her son-in-law as a member of her family.

"I'll ask him then. He's quite busy with work."

Upon hearing this, Ian immediately said that he had time. He had just finished his project and could have a considerable vacation. He had originally planned to invite Zhou Mu to travel to Italy, but Zhou Mu had to return to China, so he had to give up the idea.

He was very happy and honored to receive Feifei's invitation, and he was also excited to see Zhou Mu's hometown.

After hanging up the phone, he quickly got a visa and flew to Haishi.

Ian's arrival was warmly welcomed by the Yan family. After Yan Songyu and Feifei took turns observing him, they expressed their satisfaction.

Feifei's wedding to Han Jie was led by Yan Songyu.

"Han Jie, I believe in your love for Feifei, but I still have to threaten you. If you dare to betray Feifei, I will risk my life and the entire Yan family to make you pay."

"No, I won't let Feifei down. If I do, I won't forgive myself either, let alone you."

He will protect the girl he falls in love with at first sight for the rest of his life!

Kong Ying stared at the bride on the stage in amazement, not wanting to look away for even a second, but in order not to affect Fei Fei and Han Jie's relationship, he forced himself to lower his head.

In that instant, Zhou Mu saw the tears welling up in his eyes. "Kong Ying, you should let it go."

"Yes, after today, I have to let go whether I want to or not. Don't worry, I never thought of ruining her happiness."

"No, I've never doubted that. I just hope you don't torture yourself. We're all moving forward, and you're stuck in the same place."

Ian and Kong Ying had a good relationship, but he didn't know at first that Kong Ying had a crush on Fei Fei until he saw Kong Ying's distraught appearance.

He asked Zhou Mu, "How was the victory?"

Zhou Muhui grasped his hand and shook her head. "He'll be alright."

Zhou Mu was comforting Kong Ying, but she didn't notice that in the corner opposite, behind the bouquet of flowers, there was also a pair of eyes staring at her... and Ian beside her.

As Yan Songyu watched Feifei and Han Jie exchange rings and kiss, the tears she had been holding back for so long finally fell. Feifei must be happy in this life!

Feng Yu held Yan Songyu tightly and whispered comforting words in her ear.

Through her teary eyes, Yan Songyu looked at Han Jie, who was beaming on the stage. Her memories became exceptionally clear. Han Jie seemed to be the one who discovered Fei Fei's body in her past life, and it was also the one who called the police.

He seemed to say something else, but what was it? Yan Songyu didn't hear it clearly.

Is this fate?

Before Yan Songyu could think further, Feifei and Han Jie called everyone to the stage for a group photo. She had just finished taking a photo with the Han family, which had more than twenty members.

The Yan family was much smaller. Apart from the groom, Xin Nian, there were only Yan Binghua, Yan Songyu, Feng Yu, and Feifei. Because Feifei had previously mentioned that she was preparing to marry Ian, Ian was also included, making a total of only 7 people.

"One, two, three, eggplant!"

A family photo captured in time.

The stage lights illuminated their smiling faces, while in the corners of the audience lurked disheartened individuals.

The world is full of unexpected twists of fate and unfulfilled desires; not everyone has the chance to start over, and regret is the norm.
