"Jia Yu." Zhou Jianhong called again.

George came back to his senses, barely suppressed the hatred in his heart, and said reluctantly: "I'm with Teacher Edward."

"Is something wrong? Why did you run away without telling your family?" Zhou Jianhong breathed a sigh of relief. "When can you come back?"

"It happened suddenly, and I didn't have time to tell my family." George lied: "I'll be back in a few days when I'm done with my work."

"You didn't bring anything with you, did you? Do you want your family to pack your things and send them over?" Zhou Jianhong asked.

"No need. The teacher has prepared everything here." George said, "The teacher called me, so I won't tell you now."

"Okay, then. You have to take good care of yourself when you're out there by yourself, okay? Call home if anything happens." Zhou Jianhong gave the couple some more instructions before hanging up the phone.

George held the phone in his hand with his head down, and it took him a long time to recover.

Kailin looked at his back, feeling bitter in her heart.

Her George was back, but his was no longer her George alone.

Zhou Jianhong killed George, but she had also been George's mother for ten years. George had no memory of truly treating Zhou Jianhong as his mother. She didn't know whether George would miss this mother-son relationship.

Jiang Chu Nian glanced at George, then looked away and asked Kailin: "Do you want to go back with us?"

If anything unexpected happens, she can be controlled.

Kailin's eyes gradually became firm: "Okay."

Of course she had to follow.

She didn't care what kind of feelings George had for Zhou Jianhong. Zhou Jianhong never loved George, but her dead son. So Karen couldn't let George be soft-hearted, and she would never give up her son.

George came back to his senses when he heard Karen's voice, and felt that his sadness and discomfort at the moment were completely inexplicable.

What was there for him to be reluctant about leaving Zhou Jianhong?

The person she loved was never herself, but Lu Jiayu.

Ten years ago, she killed herself for Lu Jiayu, and two years ago, she hurt herself for Lu Jiayu. In the end, she accepted herself and loved herself as her own son only because this body belonged to Lu Jiayu.

She had always loved this body, not his soul.

George's eyes gradually became clear.

He turned around and held Kailin's hand: "After this matter is dealt with, let's not separate again in the future."

Kailin became happy: "Okay."

The Lu family has given George a lot of property over the years. The villa where he lives with the two elders of the Zhou family is under his name, and there is also the sunflower farm, which also generates income every year.

In addition to the living expenses that the Lu family gave him every month and the red envelopes during the Chinese New Year and other festivals, he usually spent little and basically saved everything.

He plans to buy a new house for Kailin to live in.

Jiang Chu Nian advised him not to buy a house yet: "Once things are settled, you may not be willing to continue living here. It is better to wait until you have decided where you want to settle down."

George thought so too.

However, Karen was living in poverty and obviously had no money, so George gave her some money to spend first.

As for where to live, he would temporarily be placed in Lin Sixian's villa and live with Jiang Chunian and the others.

Jiang Chunian's selfish motives are self-evident. He keeps the person under his nose to prevent any accidents.

As for whether Kailin will hate her in the future, let's talk about it later.

After Kailin settled down, she asked about the strategy of luring the snake out of its hole that Jiang Chunian had mentioned before.

Jiang Chunian evaded the question with words.

After sending Kailin away, Jiang Chunian kept George.

George was very perceptive. He looked up at Jiang Chunian and felt uneasy. "Do you have something to tell me?"

Jiang Chunian nodded, then turned to look at Lin Sixian: "Let me introduce this gentleman to you again. His name is Austin, and his Chinese name is Lin Sixian. I wonder if he sounds familiar to you?"

George's eyes suddenly widened: "Sister Lin!"

Sister Lin seems to be called Lin Siyu? Then Lin Sixian is not...

"Are you Sister Lin's brother?" George looked at Lin Sixian in surprise.

Lin Sixian nodded, his expression still stern.

The uneasiness in George's heart continued to grow: "Since you are Sister Lin's brother, why didn't you tell me before?"

He remembered what Jiang Chunian had said before, that she came for him.

George's heart began to pound: "Did you come here just for me? Is it because of the evil cultivator?"

Jiang Chunian nodded and then shook her head. Seeing George's confusion, she explained, "This matter is indeed related to the evil cultivator, but it is also related to you. Do you remember two years ago when you were terminally ill and the doctors said you would not survive? But after your brother got engaged to Miss Lin, you gradually got better?"

George's face turned pale: "Could it be that the reason I am alive is because Zhou Jianhong killed Sister Lin?"

"That's right." Jiang Chunian nodded. "When she heard that Lu Jiayu had completely disappeared, she couldn't accept the fact for a while, so she attacked you. As a result, Lu Jiayu didn't come back, and your fate was destroyed. You couldn't continue to live. But at that time, your soul had already been transferred, and it couldn't be transferred again. So she chose to lend you some life. The person whose life was borrowed was your future sister-in-law, Miss Lin Siyu."

"No, it's impossible." George stood up suddenly, unable to believe what he heard.

"This is the truth." Jiang Chunian stood up and walked in front of him. He stretched out his hand and pulled out a red rope from his chest. A blood jade Guanyin was hanging at the bottom of the red rope.

Her fingers gently stroked the Blood Jade Guanyin, and she felt the presence of the longevity-borrowing formation on it.

"This Blood Jade Guanyin was given to you by Zhou Jianhong two years ago, right? Did she tell you not to take it off at any time?" Jiang Chunian raised his eyes and asked him.

George's face was pale and he was trembling all over.

"Yes." He answered with difficulty, knowing in his heart that what Jiang Chunian said was true.

Jiang Chunian said, "This Blood Jade Guanyin has a longevity formation on it, connecting you to it. Another formation is engraved on your Lu family's heirloom Blood Jade Bracelet. Zhou Jianhong gave the Blood Jade Bracelet to Miss Lin on the day Lu Jiaming and Miss Lin got engaged. From the moment Miss Lin put on the Blood Jade Bracelet, her longevity began to be continuously fed into your fate through the Blood Jade Bracelet and the formation on the Blood Jade Guanyin. Since then, your health has been getting better and better, while Miss Lin has become increasingly weaker due to the borrowed lifespan. Now she is on the verge of death and her life is hanging by a thread."

George's legs went weak and he fell directly into the chair. He was terrified: "I don't know, I really don't know."

He hurriedly took the Blood Jade Guanyin off his neck and felt extremely terrified when looking at it.

He threw the Blood Jade Guanyin away and looked at Lin Sixian helplessly: "I don't know, I really don't know. If I knew that Zhou Jianhong was using Sister Lin's life to prolong my life, I would definitely not agree."

Lin Sixian stared at him: "In that case, are you willing to return the borrowed life span to Siyu?"
