Long Jingyu went out that night and didn't come back. When Zhou Zhuoru and the others returned to the Long family home on Saturday, they didn't see Long Jingyu when they entered.

Last week, Long Jingyu promised Zhou Zhuoru that she would take her out to play, but today she couldn't find her. She couldn't help but ask Lan Peizhi and the others, "Aunt, where is my mother?"

"Your mother went out last night and hasn't come back. She must have had a fight with the family. Do you want to give her a call?" Lan Peizhi turned to Deng Zhiying: "Third sister-in-law, do you know the Tang family's phone number?"

"My mom went to stay at the Tang family's house?" Zhou Zhuoru wanted to know what was wrong with her family that made Long Jingyu go to stay at someone else's house.

"It's because..." Deng Zhiying swallowed her words, "I had some disagreements with my family, we argued for a bit and then I went out."

"Oh," Zhou Zhuoru said, and didn't ask any more questions.

"Dad, Mom," Long Yucheng and Long Lannuo also returned with them.

Hou Guifang, who was pushing Long Haifeng out, called Long Yucheng and Long Lannuo over.

"Mom and Dad, has something happened at home? Something seems off."

The atmosphere in Longyu City felt different.

Hou Guifang said, "Your brother just left not long ago. I need to stay here to take care of your father. Yucheng, if you're going out today, please stop by Muqing Clothing Store and give this to your sister-in-law."

Long Yucheng knew what it was as soon as he saw the insulated food container handed to him.

It was still warm when I took it in my hand: "I understand."

“Mom, I’m going with Fifth Brother,” said Long Yucheng, who was the fifth child in the family.

"Didn't you make plans to go shopping at the department store with your classmates?" Long Yucheng asked.

“I can go later,” Long Lanno said. “I’ve never been there before.”

They neither liked nor disliked their second sister-in-law.

Overall, it's still acceptable.

After all, they had never really spent time with Sheng Qian, and Sheng Qian didn't get close to the Long family, always treating herself as an outsider.

The fact that the Long family treated her this way was already quite generous.

*

The Tang family.

Tang's wife, Shi Fenglan, and Long Jingyu were classmates and friends in school.

After arriving at the Tang family last night, he told Shi Fenglan about the suffering he had endured at the Long family, and Shi Fenglan only offered superficial comfort.

She felt no gratitude towards Long Jingyu for introducing Long Yunting to her son at this time; she valued Long Xingzhou more.

"Actually, there's no need to force this. When I went back to my room yesterday, I talked to Zijing for a bit, and I felt that Zijing wasn't particularly fond of your Yunting. But she was very interested in Xingzhou. Jingyu, we've been classmates for several years, and we've been close ever since we left school. You also know my Zijing very well. Since neither Yunting nor Zijing is interested, why not take a different approach and make it a good match for both of us? That way, our two families will be even closer in the future."

Tang Zijing is Shi Fenglan's youngest daughter.

I'm also turning nineteen this year.

If things go well, we can get married next year.

Since the Marriage Law was amended in 1980, girls must be at least 20 years old to register for marriage.

Unlike Long Yunting and Sheng Qian before.

They registered in 1979, and just as they finished registering, 1980 began.

Upon hearing this, Long Jingyu was taken aback.

Her original intention was to break up Sheng Qian and Long Yunting's marriage, but if she were to target Long Xingzhou, the plan would fail.

"Is Zijing home today? Let me talk to her."

"Unfortunately, she left early today, saying she was going out to play with her classmates. This child, she's such a grown-up and she still only cares about playing."

“Children have their own social interactions, and we as elders should understand. I’ve watched Zijing grow up since she was little. She’s quiet and sensible, a true socialite in Beijing!” Long Jingyu praised with a smile.

Who doesn't love hearing what she says?

Shi Fenglan smiled, her eyes crinkling. "It's only because she's spoiled at home. Outside, people won't praise her like this. Jingyu, to be honest with you, I still value Xingzhou more. Last time we met outside, I saw Zijing and Xingzhou talking for a long time. It seems they're mutually attracted."

Long Jingyu was surprised: "Is that so? Xingzhou seems gentle, but he's actually quite aloof. He usually keeps his distance from people. I never expected him to talk to Zijing."

They were mutually in love.

I hadn't noticed that Long Xingzhou had someone he liked before.

So that's where it was hidden.

“That’s right, I was also very surprised when I saw it that day,” Shi Fenglan said. “Jingyu, since you brought this up, I’ll make it clear that my daughter will marry someone she likes, a talented man like Xingzhou!”

In short, it has to be someone worthy of her daughter.

Whether it's appearance, family background, or ability.

Long Xingzhou is undoubtedly a promising young talent in the capital!

Long Jingyu didn't think much of it and laughed, "It turns out I was just playing matchmaker and almost broke up a couple of lovers! Don't worry, I'll definitely tell my sister-in-law about it when I get back."

"Zijing's happiness depends on you! Jingyu, thank you so much!" Shi Fenglan held Long Jingyu's hand with some emotion.

Long Jingyu smiled and took on the task.

*

Long Jingyu, wanting to bring Long Xingzhou and Tang Zijing together, disregarded the awkwardness of the previous night and hurriedly returned to the Long family home.

Tang Zijing, who had been told by Shi Fenglan to go out to play, came out of her room and asked, "Mom, Aunt Jingyu has left?"

"I'm leaving," Shi Fenglan said, composed herself. "I told her that you like Long Xingzhou and that I won't try to match you up with Long Yunting anymore."

Tang Zijing frowned: "Mom, you haven't heard what's going on about Long Yunting outside. He's not only disabled now, but he's not a real man either. How could I possibly marry someone like that? Even if he weren't injured or disabled, I still wouldn't marry him."
