Liu Fen seemed to be holding something in her hand, her eyes fierce and filled with resentment.
Lu Qing looked closely and realized that what she was holding in her hand was actually a kitchen knife.
Liu Fen's goal is clear: she wants to take revenge on the old man when there are many people around, but with Lu Qing present, she is destined to fail.
Just as Liu Fen raised her knife to strike the old man, a hand firmly restrained her.
Liu Fen turned her head and saw that it was Lu Qing.
Before she could even struggle to make a sound, Lu Qing silenced her by striking her pressure point and dragged her away without a trace.
Everyone was looking up at the fireworks, and no one noticed this scene.
Lu Qing didn't want to spoil everyone's enjoyment of watching the fireworks, nor did she want her father's six-figure investment in the fireworks to go to waste, so she chose the calmest way to deal with Liu Fen.
The next day, at the police station entrance, the on-duty police officers found a woman tied up on the roadside as soon as they came out.
The woman was unconscious, with a sticky note stuck to her head that read:
“This is a murderer. She attempted to kill me in revenge last night, but I caught her. The evidence is in her pocket. If you need witnesses, please come to No. 47, Group 6, Taoxin Village. My name is Lu Qing.”
This woman was Liu Fen.
The police officer searched Liu Fen's pockets and found a USB flash drive inside.
The USB drive contained footage of her attempting to murder Old Master Chu last night, and the knife had been placed by Lu Qing next to Liu Fen.
The police quickly reported the incident to the criminal investigation team. After comparison, the fingerprints on the knife were confirmed to be Liu Fen's, and the video was also found to be genuine.
The criminal police quickly went to the address left by Lu Qing.
Lu Qing had been staying on the third floor. When she saw the police car approaching from afar, she immediately went outside.
After explaining the situation and taking a statement, the matter was considered closed.
When Lu Qing returned, she ran into her grandparents as they were leaving.
"Qingqing, where have you been so early in the morning?" the old man asked with a smile.
"Nothing! I ate too much for breakfast, just going for a walk!"
Lu Qing didn't mention Liu Fen's matter; she didn't want it to affect her grandparents' mood for the New Year.
As they were talking, Chu Panshan, Han Ziyuan, their five older brothers, Gu Xicheng, and Helian Shi all came out.
"Qingqing, come on! Let's go visit some elders together and ask for some New Year's money!"
"Okay!" Lu Qing nodded with a smile.
Although the New Year's money wasn't much, everyone was happy to receive it and wish for good fortune.
Gu Xicheng was feeling uneasy.
Judging from his past behavior, Lu Qing's Conan-like constitution is quite strange; he always seems to get into trouble every now and then.
If work comes in on the first day of the Lunar New Year, that's not a good thing.
The first people she visited were naturally her maternal grandparents. Lu Qing hadn't been to her maternal grandparents' house since she came back; it was always the elderly couple who came to visit her.
Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, and the younger generation should visit and wish the two elders a happy new year.
As for why the grandparents came along?
That's because they were afraid the children would stay behind for the New Year and not go back.
When we arrived at my maternal grandparents' house, it was only nine o'clock in the morning. The two elders had prepared snacks, cakes, and tea.
There was Junshan Silver Needle tea, which Chu Qianlan liked; purple rice cake, which Chu Qianlin liked; and taro soup, which Chu Qianjin liked…
As for Lu Qing, besides the essential mochi, she wasn't picky about food and would eat anything.
Happy New Year, Grandpa and Grandma!
The six children, along with Gu Xicheng and Helian Shi, stood in a row and bowed to the two elders to wish them a Happy New Year. The two elders couldn't stop smiling.
Happy New Year! Happy New Year!
"Come on, everyone, come and get your New Year's money! One red envelope for each person, no grabbing!"
Each red envelope had its own name on it, and the amount of money inside was the same: 999, just for good luck. But Lu Qing, Gu Xicheng, Chu Qianjin, and Helian Shi's red envelopes contained something extra.
Inside Lu Qing and Gu Xicheng's red envelopes were a pair of love locks, which looked quite old.
"Grandpa and Grandma, why is there something extra in our red envelope?" Lu Qing asked, puzzled.
Grandpa and Grandma got up and put the love locks on Gu Xicheng and Lu Qing's necks respectively.
"This is a love lock, symbolizing eternal love. It was given to me by my mother when I got married. It's a dowry passed down in the family and is only passed down to daughters and sons-in-law."
"I present these two love locks to you, hoping that you will be forever united in heart and stay together until your hair turns white!"
The two elders looked at Lu Qing and Gu Xicheng with eyes full of love.
Lu Qing and Gu Xicheng exchanged a glance, then held hands and bowed to them together.
"Thank you, Grandpa and Grandma!"
Gu Xicheng: "Grandpa and Grandma, don't worry, I will always treat Qingqing well and will never let you down!"
"Grandpa and Grandma, it's understandable that Qingqing and Xiao Gu have a love lock, but why do Helian and I have other gifts too?" Chu Qianjin asked, puzzled.
Grandma looked at him and smiled:
"Try putting your two things together."
Chu Qianjin, completely bewildered, placed the silver pendant in her hand together with Helian Shi's pendant.
The next second, the two pendants merged tightly together, forming a complete double dragon pattern.
Chu Qianjin's heart skipped a beat, a sense of foreboding washing over her.
"Grandma, what do you mean by this?"
Grandma covered her mouth and laughed, "Can't you tell what I mean?"
"Don't think that just because Grandma is old she can't see what's going on between you two!"
Chu Qianjin panicked immediately and hurriedly explained:
"Grandma, Helian and I are just friends, not the kind of relationship you're thinking of."
"Alright! You don't need to be so nervous. Grandma may be old, but she's not an old fogey. As long as you're happy, what does it matter whether the person you like is a boy or a girl!"
Chu Qianjin was taken aback by her grandmother's words.
Han Ziyuan then smiled and said:
"Third brother, actually your father and I have long noticed that Helian's feelings for you are different, but you didn't say anything, and we didn't dare to ask."
Chu Qianjin lowered her eyes slightly, glancing at Helian Shi out of the corner of her eye.
His family members seemed to accept his relationship with Helian Shi, but what about him?
Did he really accept Helian Shi?
He had forgotten everything from his past life, and after learning about Helian Shi's feelings for him, he didn't dislike him.
But has he really accepted Helian Shi and accepted that he will live with a man from now on?
Chu Qianjin was unsure and dared not be sure.
Seeing that Chu Qianjin remained silent, the smiles on everyone's faces gradually disappeared.
"Third brother, what's wrong?" Han Ziyuan asked hurriedly.
Chu Qianjin smiled and shook her head: "It's nothing, it's just a bit sudden."
"Thank you for the gift, Grandpa and Grandma! I love it!"
Chu Qianjin put away his pendant, but the smile didn't reach his eyes. He just didn't want his own affairs to affect everyone's holiday mood.
Helian Shi saw this, so he did not press for an answer.
After paying their respects to their maternal grandparents, everyone followed their paternal grandparents to visit other elders' homes.
My grandfather only had one brother, who has passed away, but he had a wife and son. His wife has remarried.
Even so, Grandpa would still visit his sister-in-law and nephew every year.
As soon as I arrived at the door, a man in his sixties came out to greet me with a beaming smile, looking even happier than the old lady behind me.
