"Then...who exactly is Lin and the others' mother?"

Jiang Shuyin pondered for a moment and told him, "At that time, you really wanted to strengthen the Merfolk clan and thought I could help them escape from the Moon God's prison, so you asked me for a drop of blood. I didn't expect you to use it to have children, so I'm a little angry."

Ah Wen blushed and, after a long pause, managed to stammer, "I'm sorry."

Jiang Shuyin waved her hand dismissively, saying, "I've come to terms with it now. You've suffered a lot too, so let's call it even."

Awen relaxed and talked to himself: "After waking up, it felt like a dream. Suddenly my sister was exiled, and I had several obedient and sensible children. The development of the tribe is so fast that I can't understand it. Changji is very capable and he is so respectful to me. He always comes to see me. It's just a pity that I can't have children. I don't have any great ambitions. The only thing I wanted to know is now known. Next, I plan to run the clinic well with Lin and keep the tribe healthy."

With her blue eyes curving slightly, Jiang Shuyin said softly, "This is fine."

Alvin came back to life, no longer the silly fish who followed her around. He returned to enjoy this new world, and Jiang Shuyin would stay far away from him.

With Xie Yin around, getting close to her will only lead to misfortune.

Suddenly, a commotion broke out in the garden community. A group of people came out, and Jiang Shu looked closely. Huang Li was also standing inside. She had aged drastically in the past two years. Her family was making a fuss about her needing to work and move into her big villa. Her son couldn't find a job after graduation, and Jiang Jianli's retirement pension was supporting the whole family. Now, she also had to support a daughter-in-law, and they were struggling financially.

Huang Li opened and closed her mouth wide, while Jiang Shuyin lowered the soundproof car window a bit to listen to what they were arguing about.

“I lent you my house, but now my daughter-in-law wants the house back. You should move out immediately. Don’t just occupy the space and refuse to leave. Is this your house? I didn’t sign any transfer agreement. If you don’t leave, I will call the police.”

"Call the police? If you dare to call the police, I'll make sure you can't live here anymore. We've lived here for so many years, everyone knows this house belongs to the Huang family. I haven't even bothered you yet. You live in such a big villa, but you don't even let your nephews and nieces move in. Look at our whole family crammed into one house, we can't even stretch our legs out at night. And now you want to kick us out. We've been here for decades, where are we supposed to go if we leave here?"

"That's right, that's right. If you kick us out, we'll sleep in your big villa. I just don't like how cramped my place is."

Huang Li was no match for dozens of hands and was pushed to the ground, unable to even sit up. His well-maintained black hair was covered in dirt. When the city patrol team arrived, they saw that this family was really unlucky. They gave them a few warnings, watched the crowd disperse, and then left.

Jiang Shuyin suddenly laughed, and Awen looked somewhat bewildered.

Do you know them?

"Recognize that evil people will be punished by evil people."

Seeing that no one was helping her, Huang Li staggered over when she spotted a valuable car parked nearby. Jiang Shuyi glanced at the rearview mirror, stepped on the gas, and drove off.

Are you kidding me? Trying to scam me.

This time, we didn't stop by the roadside. We drove straight to the fishpond that Yu Wang Chunhua had contracted. It was a bit far from the city, and we were almost at my aunt's house.

In summer, the days are long, and the sun hasn't set by five o'clock.

The small fishpond has been expanded into a lake over a thousand meters wide. The wind blows ripples on the water's surface, and the golden rays of the setting sun are cast upon it. People are rowing boats on the water with bamboo poles, slowly making their way this way.

"Your sister."

Awen raised his hand to shield his eyes from the sun, carefully examining the backlit shadow: "It doesn't look like it."

Chunhua had gotten darker and fatter, looking very different from the dignified clan chief Awen remembered. When she saw Awen approaching, she gave a curt reply with just two words: "You've arrived?"

Awen was slightly taken aback.

The high priest used his money to build a villa by the lake, which was against the law, but after years working in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, he knew a few important people and managed to get a plot of land to build the house. It looked quite simple on the outside, but it was full of surprises inside.

Jiang Shu went there twice, but didn't want to go again. It was too bright and not good for the eyes.

I really don't understand why the walls are inlaid with diamonds, the sofa is made of crystal, and the bed is a gilded seashell...

Ah Wen dropped a pearl as soon as he went in; he was dazzled by the high priest's sequined phone case, which stimulated his tear glands.

Jiang Shuyin stood at the door: "I won't go in. You two talk. I'll come pick him up another day."

Chunhua and the High Priest exchanged a glance. Standing at the door, they watched as Jiang Shu led the way. They quickly pulled Awen inside and closed the door. Once the ceiling light was off, the room became much more normal.

What did she say to you?

They only learned by chance from Changji that Alvin was still alive, but they had never had the chance to go back since they came to the mainland. This was the first time they had met in decades.

Looking at his loved one, Awen silently shed tears: "She lied to me. What is our relationship?"

Why do I feel sad when I can't see her, but even more sad when I actually see her?

Even though neither of them spoke while in the car, he felt at ease.

What she said must have contained lies.

Chunhua walked away with a half-smile. With only a few decades left to live, she had no energy to cause any more trouble. Let Yuxi deal with her silly younger brother.

The high priest cleared his throat and said earnestly, "You used to like her."

"And what about her? Doesn't she like someone as pretty as me, and prefer that ugly guy?" Awen didn't believe it.

"An ugly man?" The high priest muttered to himself, then asked, "Are you talking about Xie Yin?"

Awen pursed his lips, his gaze fixed.

"Do you know? I used a secret technique to ask the Sea God about the whereabouts of the Moon Goddess. The Sea God told me that the Moon Goddess was dead, and the one who did it was Xie Yin."

Awen was stunned for a long time, then closed his eyes and nodded, saying, "I understand."
