Today is the fifth day since Canglan returned to H country, and also the day he will be leaving.

Unlike the anticipation he had when he arrived, he now felt only desolation.

"The helicopter will be here soon. I have something to do, so I'll be going now!" Qian Zhenghao patted Canglan's shoulder reassuringly.

He knew Canglan was feeling down right now, but as a man, there were some hurdles he had to overcome on his own.

After Qian Zhenghao left, Canglan sat alone on the bench.

Suddenly, a limited-edition pair of sheepskin-soled high heels appeared in front of him.

He looked up and saw a middle-aged noblewoman wearing a mink coat and jewels standing in front of him with an arrogant and disdainful expression. She was none other than Madam Luo, Luo Jiaqi's mother.

"What, are you here to provoke me?" Canglan's words carried a hint of sarcasm.

Mrs. Luo took a deep breath, trying her best to hide the sharp tongue and meanness in her bones.

"I'm here to warn you. If you dare to show your face in front of Jiaqi and Junle again, don't blame me for being impolite." Madam Luo raised her head high and looked at Canglan with a sidelong glance.

"You're welcome! How do you intend to be 'unrespectful'? Kill me?" Canglan looked at Madam Luo without fear.

"Ha! You're quite the tough one. Let me tell you, I've never even looked at you. You're not good enough for my daughter. Don't you even know your background? You think you can climb up to our family?"

In the eyes of a short-sighted noblewoman like Madam Luo, ability and talent were all worthless; only family background and power were tangible and perceptible. Canglan had nothing and was simply not worthy of her daughter.

She didn't even understand why Jiaqi's father had agreed to his marriage with Jiaqi in the first place.

“Jiaqi told me that if you hadn’t been so persistent in pursuing her, she would never have been with you. I’m warning you, you’d better not show your face in front of us again, or don’t blame me for being ruthless.”

"Ha! Don't worry! I've long since severed all ties with the Luo family." Although Canglan appeared gentle and humble, he was still proud at heart. It wasn't that he couldn't accept Jiaqi choosing someone else; what he couldn't accept was the Luo family's contempt and deception.

"That's for the best!" Madam Luo snorted coldly and strode away.

At the time, the dejected Canglan never expected that he would be able to meet his former fiancée's family again so soon. At the same time, the arrogant Madam Luo never expected that she would soon be humiliated.

After this meeting, the opportunity could change at any moment.

While Canglan was wasting time in City A, Lei Siming finally made new progress.

At eight o'clock in the morning, before Ye Ning and Xiao Jingchen had even gotten up, Lei Siming couldn't wait to start knocking on the door.

"Xiao Lei, can't we talk about this later?" Ye Ning frowned as she opened the door.

"I'm sorry, Sister Ye Ning, I was just too excited and forgot about the time." Lei Siming apologized, scratching his head.

"Alright, come in!" Ye Ning stretched and yawned as she led Lei Siming inside.

"Alright, wait here for a bit! I'll go call Jingchen." Ye Ning returned to the room, where Xiao Jingchen was still asleep.

"Jingchen, get up quickly, Xiao Lei has something important to tell us!" Ye Ning hurriedly shook Xiao Jingchen's body, trying to wake him up, but unexpectedly, Xiao Jingchen's arms, as strong as iron clamps, tightly hugged her waist, and the two rolled onto the bed again.

"Alright, Jingchen, stop fooling around. Xiao Lei is still waiting for us in the living room!" Ye Ning scolded playfully.

"Ugh! How annoying, why at this crucial moment?" Xiao Jingchen grumbled, then reluctantly sat up, put on his coat, and followed Ye Ning into the living room like an arrow.

"Senior Xiao, you're here!" Upon seeing Xiao Jingchen arrive, Lei Siming quickly stood up.

Xiao Jingchen lit the fireplace in the living room. The outdoor temperature had reached around -20 degrees Celsius. Although the shelter had been covered with thick layers of insulation, the indoor temperature was still -10 degrees Celsius.

Under the flickering firelight, the indoor temperature finally rose.

"Alright! Xiao Lei, have you and Professor Chen made any new discoveries?" Ye Ning asked first.

When talking about his research findings, Lei Siming's face lit up with a fervent smile.

He slowly opened a cardboard box he had brought with him; inside was a light red plant.

"What is this?" Ye Ning asked curiously. The appearance of the leaf looked quite familiar, somewhat like an orange tree, but the color of the tree was different.

"Is it an orange tree? Why is it this color?"

“It is indeed an orange tree, and the reason why its color is different from that of ordinary orange trees is because it can absorb the surrounding cold energy.” Lei Siming stared intently at the light red sapling, his eyes filled with fervent light.

"What? You said you can absorb cold energy? What do you mean by that?" Ye Ning didn't quite understand what Lei Siming meant.

"Sister Ye Ning, Senior Xiao, are there any spacious rooms here? Are there any with fireplaces?" Lei Siming asked.

Ye Ning could tell that Lei Siming wanted to prove something, and after thinking for a moment, she led Lei Siming to the room that had been prepared for Jing Chen.

"Alright! Is this place okay?" Ye Ning looked at Lei Siming.

"Sure, sure, of course!" Lei Siming closed the door and placed the sapling in the middle of the floor.

He watered the sapling and then used his supernatural ability to catalyze it.

Under the catalysis of the superpower, the sapling grew at a speed that was almost visible to the naked eye. At the same time as the sapling grew, Ye Ning suddenly noticed that the indoor temperature was also rising rapidly.
