Ling Xiaoyuan let go of his hand, "Sister! From now on, when you want to teach this man a lesson, don't hold back. He's the type who can take a beating. Big brother is using 80% of his strength!"

"Yeah!" Ling Xiaotong nodded vigorously, "I understand, big brother."

When Yi Xiangfan felt that his palm was about to be crushed, his hand was finally released. When he heard his brother-in-law's words, his expression did not change. "Don't worry, brother. I won't give Tongtong a chance to teach me a lesson."

Ling Xiaoyuan looked at him and said, "It's a bit early to call me big brother. Just call me by my name! Aren't you Brother Yan'er's friend? Just call me by my nickname Dangdang."

Yi Xiangfan was a little confused. Calling her by her nickname? Was that appropriate?

Ling Xiaoyuan left him alone and went to greet his grandparents.

When Yi Xiangfan heard the elders calling him "Big Brother" and "Dangdang", he asked his girlfriend, "Can I really call him "Big Brother" and "Dangdang"?"

"Call me that! My eldest brother is the same age as me. Wouldn't it be awkward to call someone who is seven or eight years younger than you, 'Big Brother'?"

"It's not awkward." Yi Xiangfan was hoping to make the decision early!

"That won't work either, just call me Dangdang." Calling him "Big Brother" would expose her identity. Ling Xiaotong hadn't had enough fun yet! She still wanted to find Sister Yuanyuan to collude with her!

Leaving Yi Xiangfan to Wu Minyi, Ling Xiaotong pulled Sister Yuanyuan aside and muttered to herself.

Zhou Yuan has already accepted the fact that her uncle is missing. Just as her sister Tongtong comforted her, after being missing for so many days, it would be good news if he could not be found, and it would definitely be bad news if he was found. She could only comfort herself by saying that her uncle had just gone on a long trip or was kidnapped, and his life safety was still guaranteed.

Now her sister Tongtong told her to play a trick on Yi Xiangfan and Wu Minyi, and she agreed to cooperate.

Therefore, when Ling Xiaoyuan and Wu Minyi got to know each other, he naturally still used the title of "big brother". As for when these two people would be able to see through it, it depended on their abilities.

Zhou Xiang, her parents, and in-laws had no idea what the brother and sister had done. When they heard Wu Minyi and Yi Xiangfan calling Ling Xiaoyuan "Dangdang", they didn't care. Young people calling by nicknames shows affection.

Ling Xiaoyuan only stayed at home for two days. Seeing that his mother was in good spirits and calm, and his father's search was still fruitless, he returned to the army. His mother played big games, which he could not afford.

Wu Minyi's vacation has exceeded a week, and it is not appropriate to ask someone else to take leave on his behalf. He can only return to Beijing. He wants to ask his girlfriend to go to Beijing with him, but it seems inappropriate, and there is no news from his uncle yet.

He could only comfort his girlfriend and persuade her in detail, and then reluctantly left the town. He decided to work hard after returning, and exchange leave with colleagues. After saving up a few days of vacation, he would come back quickly. He had not passed the test of all Yuanyuan's relatives. With Uncle Zhou missing, it was not appropriate for him and Yuanyuan to rush into things.

Ten days later, Ling Ran and Zhou Yan returned with their men after a fruitless search, and the local police station concluded the case was missing.

No amount of comfort seemed to be effective, and everyone could only leave Zhou's house, which finally calmed down.

Jiang Weifang had been with Old Lady Liu for a few days and had clearly seen the tempers of Liu Guizhen and her daughter. She came to Zhou Xiang worriedly and said, "Think about it, it's best to get rid of that Liu Jingmin. With your grandmother keeping her in check, Liu Guizhen seems fine. But if Liu Guizhen can't withstand her daughter's brainwashing after Old Lady is gone, your uncle and his son might not have an easy time."

"I've thought about this, but I'm unwilling to find her a husband! If she doesn't live a good life with a good family, she'll be harming them. I don't expect her to live too comfortably. If she doesn't find a good family, she and her mother will be resentful and might even do something in my name.

So, I don't plan to intervene. Let her run around on her own. Let her mother find it for her or she can find it herself. It has nothing to do with me and can't be blamed on me. I also cut off ties with her a long time ago and don't allow her to call me sister.

"Oh~" Jiang Weifang sighed. She listened to what her mother said and thought about how they were willing to protect her eldest brother and his son. If the mother and daughter understood, they should be honest and treat her eldest brother and his son well, and they would also be protected. It all depends on whether some people appreciate it or not.

The turmoil over Zhou Niao's disappearance gradually subsided, but Old Lady Liu still asked about it every day. Jiang Weifang comforted her by saying that no news was good news.

The days passed with Old Lady Liu's questioning until the end of August. When Jiang Weifang was about to pack her luggage to return to the capital, Old Lady Liu suddenly passed away. She quickly called Zhou Xiang to come over.

When Zhou Xiang brought his family over, Old Lady Liu was already on her deathbed. When she saw Zhou Xiang, she forced her eyelids open and looked at her hopefully.

Zhou Xiang possessed her and told her in her ear that it was she who helped his elder brother to live in seclusion. Only then did Old Lady Liu close her eyes with a smile.

Zhou Xiang thought that she hated Old Lady Liu. She thought that Old Lady Liu's death was over and she would not be sad. However, the pain in her chest made her realize that her heart was still made of flesh. No matter how much hatred she had, she could not sever the blood ties. Just like when Old Jiang passed away, she was depressed for two days.

Ling Ran hugged his wife who was surrounded by sadness, and coaxed her carefully, telling her to cry without worry. No one understood his wife's hatred for Old Jiang and Old Lady Liu better than him. The hated people left peacefully, but his wife still carried the hatred of the past life and the resentment of this life, mixed with the inseparable family affection. She was sad and blamed herself.

"Cry! Cry if you're sad. After you're done crying, if you still hate her, then keep hating her. If you can't merge or offset it, then don't try to offset or merge it."

Zhou Xiang stood beside Old Lady Liu's bed, crying loudly on her lover's chest. She would rather be a cold-hearted person than have too strong emotions. Why couldn't she cultivate to the level of her elder brother?

Jiang Weifang and Jiang Weihui gently pushed the two out of the room and began to take care of Old Lady Liu's remains.

Jiang Zhaoyu and his father hugged each other and cried bitterly. His grandmother was gone. His grandmother who had always been so kind to him was gone. He was so sad.

Liu Guizhen really couldn't cry, she could only lower her head, pull her daughter who was staring at Zhou Xiang and his wife, and signal her to lower her head and cry quickly.

Liu Jingmin envied Zhou Xiang very much. She was a complete winner in life, with a husband, lover, wealth and status. Not only was her life perfect, not only among women, but also among men, there were few who had such a perfect life. Not only was she envious, she also hated him. She hated her mother for being incompetent, hated herself for not being able to reincarnate, and hated those men for being blind, especially Zhou Xiang's lover Ling Ran.

Wasn't it because he was attracted by Zhou Xiang's wealth and status? Otherwise, how could he, a big man of 1.9 meters, be attracted to Zhou Xiang, who was only 1.6 meters tall?

Humph! A man who eats gigolos and feels justified in doing so, thinking that cheesy things are funny all day long. She, such a tall and beautiful girl, is dangling in front of him but he doesn't see her.

Zhou Yan is blind and he only cares about his aunt. Humph, he is also a blind man who only cares about wealth.

And that handsome man with his arm in a cast, why did he have to lean towards Ling Xiaotong? He was attracted by Ling Xiaotong's mother's wealth and status. Humph, the men around Zhou Xiang were all Phoenix men, she didn't want them.
