After seeing Li Jia off, Xiang Pengfei returned to find Zhuang Tunan looking dejected. Although he couldn't tell how heartbroken he was, one could sense his grievance and helplessness.

Xiang Pengfei said, "Brother, now that we've talked it out, let's live our lives well from now on. We'll look again. I believe there's someone waiting for you!"

He had barely finished speaking when someone in the courtyard asked, "Is anyone home?"

Xiang Pengfei quickly got up, walked to the door, opened it, and saw Zhang Min standing there. He said, "What's wrong? Zhang Min, is something the matter?"

Zhang Min blushed and said, "I heard that Auntie and Sister Xiaoting went to the hospital. It's almost noon. How will Tu Nan eat? I wonder if I can cook him a meal!"

"Oh, it's okay, I'm here. If my aunt isn't back, I can just go to a nearby restaurant to buy something!"

"How can that be? Food in restaurants is generally not hygienic. You don't know what they use. What if he gets an upset stomach? Besides, Brother Tunan needs nutrition right now, so we can't be careless!"

Xiang Pengfei suddenly smiled and said, "Alright! Zhang Min, I know you care about Brother Tu Nan, but he's a little unhappy right now!"

"You seem unhappy. What's wrong? Did someone upset him?"

"My sister-in-law, Li Jia, just came—no, no, it's Li Jia, who is also my brother's girlfriend—to break up with him!"

"Oh, that was expected. A woman who doesn't understand love and only cares about interests will naturally break up with you!"

At this moment, Zhuang Tunan said, "Zhang Min, you should leave! You are not welcome in our home!"

Zhang Min looked at Zhuang Tunan in surprise after hearing his words and said, "Brother Tunan, what did you say?"

"I told you, you're not welcome in our home, get out now!"

Zhang Min pointed at Zhuang Tunan in a fit of rage and said, "Zhuang Tunan, remember what you said today, or you'll regret it!"

After Zhang Min finished speaking, she stamped her foot and left the courtyard with tears in her eyes.

Seeing Zhang Min's aggrieved expression, Xiang Pengfei looked at Zhuang Tunan with some displeasure and said, "Brother, what are you doing? Zhang Min is trying to help you; she means well. How can you talk like that?"

Zhuang Tunan's face remained expressionless as he said, "I don't want to implicate others, nor do I want to owe anyone a favor!"

"Then there's no need for you to get angry."

Just as Zhuang Tunan was staring wide-eyed at Xiang Pengfei, Yiming's mother's voice came from afar, saying, "Tunan, Tunan, your home phone number!"

Xiang Pengfei hurriedly replied, "Coming! Coming! I'll be right there, Auntie!"

Xiang Pengfei first turned to Zhuang Tunan and said, "Stay put! I'm going to take this call, I'll be back in a few minutes!"

After speaking, Xiang Pengfei ran outside and quickly arrived at the convenience store. He answered the phone and said, "Hello, who is this?"

"I am Lin Wufeng!"

"Oh, Uncle Lin? You've arrived in Guangzhou?"

"Yes, it arrived yesterday afternoon, and we started doing business today!"

"Oh my! Uncle Lin, you guys are really working hard, don't you know how many days you can rest!"

"Why take a break? Prices are high here in Guangzhou, you can't afford to rest!"

"Oh, right, Uncle Lin, is there something you need on the phone?"

"I saw Zhennan today, what's going on with him?"

"Zhennan? That guy went to Guangzhou?"

"What exactly happened? Tell me!"

"Uncle Lin, it's like this, Tu Nan injured his leg, didn't he?"

"Yes, I know about that!"

"The design firm gave us 100,000 yuan, which my aunt hid in your room. I didn't expect that Zhennan would find out and deliberately not go home, but stay here instead. He found the money at night and ran away?"

"What? He has 100,000 yuan on him? He lied to me and said he was penniless!"

"I was penniless. The money was counterfeit; it was fake money from my uncle, just some worthless paper!"

"Oh, I see! Zhennan is really outrageous. Should I take him back with me?"

"No need for that, just pretend you don't know."

"Oh, okay! He asked me to find him a job, but I don't have one. I'd like him to go to Ada's place and help her out!"

"Oh, that's fine. I'll thank you on behalf of my second uncle, Uncle Lin!"

"Don't mention it. We're all family, it's only right. Let's leave it at that for now, I'll call Ada!"

"Okay, Uncle Lin, goodbye!"

"goodbye!"

Xiang Pengfei hung up the phone, took out two yuan from his pocket, put it on the shelf, and said, "Aunt Zhang, here's the money for you!"

After speaking, Xiang Pengfei hurried back. As soon as he entered the house, Zhuang Tunan asked him, "Who is it?"

"Uncle Lin, he said he saw Zhennan!"

"Zhennan? Zhennan went to Guangzhou?"

"Um!"

"This kid is really capable; he actually found Uncle Lin!"

"What? Maybe he ran into Uncle Lin. Uncle Lin said he's penniless and must be begging on the street!"

"Oh! Then quickly ask Uncle Lin to lend him money so he can come back! I'll pay for his train ticket, and I'll pay Uncle Lin back!"

"Uncle Lin said he went to find Ada a job!"

"What? Looking for Ada? Ada is a cunning guy, Zhennan can't outsmart him, he'll definitely get bullied to a pulp!"

Xiang Pengfei laughed and said, "Why do you care about him? He went out to take your 100,000 yuan anyway. It's only right that he suffers in Ada's hands!"

"I hope he comes back alive!"

Then Huang Ling led Zhuang Xiaoting to the old man's ward, where they saw Zhuang Chaoying and Zhuang Ganmei both inside, watching over the old man by the bedside.

As soon as Zhuang Ganmei saw Huang Ling, she smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, you're here!"

Huang Ling nodded, ignoring him, but Zhuang Xiaoting said to Zhuang Ganmei, "Second Uncle!"

"Yes, I'm here!"

Huang Ling asked Zhuang Chaoying, "How is it? Is the old man alright?"

"It's nothing serious, the doctor said rest is all I need. Why are you two here again? Didn't you say it wasn't anything serious and I didn't need to come?"

"Tu Nan said Xiao Ting was experiencing morning sickness and was worried, so she came for a prenatal checkup!"

"Morning sickness? Is Xiaoting pregnant?"

Seeing her husband's excited face, Huang Ling quickly said, "The doctor has taken her pulse and said it's a sign of pregnancy, but it's not certain yet. We need to do a blood test, so we'll wait for the results."

"It's a pregnancy test? That's wonderful! Our Xiaoting is going to be a mother! We must tell the Lin family so Wu Feng can be happy too!"

Huang Ling nodded and said, "Yes, yes, that's what I should do!"

Zhuang Chaoying's expression changed. "What? You two came? Where's Lin Dongzhe? Didn't he come with you?"

Upon hearing Lin Dongzhe's name, Huang Ling and Zhuang Xiaoting's expressions changed, becoming rather unpleasant.

Seeing that their expressions were a little off, Zhuang Chaoying quickly asked, "What's wrong? Is something the matter now?"

Huang Ling then said, "Lin Dongzhe has been arrested by the police!"

Zhuang Chaoying, who had just stood up, plopped back down in her seat, looking completely dumbfounded. She then looked at Huang Ling and asked, "What happened? Why did the police arrest him?"

"Sigh, him! He's greedy for small gains. He bought a cell phone right outside the door—it was stolen property. He bought it. Isn't he just asking for trouble?"

"Why would Lin Dongzhe do something so foolish?"

"Who knows? Luckily, the policeman who arrested him was one of Captain Li's men, a fellow patient from Tunan. I said a few nice words and he agreed to take a statement from him. I hope he'll be alright!"

"He's about to become a father, how can he still be so reckless? He's not mature at all!"

"Maybe things will be better after I become a father!"

Let's hope so!

I'm back!

Lin Dongzhe suddenly appeared at the door, holding two lab reports in his hand. He then said, "I'm back, and I brought the lab reports with me!"

Huang Ling asked excitedly, "How did it go? What was the result?"
