"Really? They're going back to the capital?"
Lin Jingyu was genuinely unaware of this news, and couldn't help but feel happy. "It's good that they're back. Everyone can meet now. If they had stayed on the southern border, it would have been difficult for them to meet."
“They should have come back long ago. At that time, Shujue was about to give birth and it was not good for her to travel long distances, so they applied to postpone their return to Beijing.”
Master Liu knew the young couple's situation quite well. "When they heard you were going back to Beijing, they called directly to ask your Grandpa Sun to help with the transfer. It seems they also want to meet everyone as soon as possible."
"Yes, we haven't seen each other for several years."
Lin Jingyu couldn't help but sigh, "It's fair to say that we've only been in Beijing for a short time before everyone has gone their separate ways."
"Even so, at least they are all in pairs."
Master Liu couldn't help but worry, "What exactly are you planning, girl? We all really liked you and the Peng family boy as a couple, but unexpectedly..."
I never expected that old man Peng was such a muddle-headed person.
I don't know what's wrong with that family's arrogance; they had to make such a mess of a good thing.
"What a pity for you and that Peng boy."
"We were destined to meet but not to be together."
Lin Jingyu spoke calmly, as if she were talking about someone else's business. "Although it's a bit of a regret, it also makes me feel relieved. I have too many things to do and no energy to talk about personal matters."
"What nonsense."
Third Master Liu looked disapproving. "Whether you're a man or a woman, you need to settle down and start a family. Only with a family can you have a proper life."
"Third Grandfather, you know my situation. I could be assassinated at any time."
Lin Jingyu said softly, "If it weren't for the fact that Beijing is considered our territory and those foreigners don't dare to show up easily, I wouldn't dare to disturb your peaceful life."
So it's better for me not to be a burden to others right now.
Besides, most families couldn't afford it, wouldn't you say?
"You girl..."
A hint of heartache flashed in Third Master Liu's eyes, "With us old folks here, we'd risk our lives to make sure nothing happens to you."
"Thank you, Third Grandfather."
Lin Jingyu smiled brightly, "Don't worry, my senior brothers won't let anything happen to me. My safety is guaranteed, and nothing will easily happen to me."
"You have a much greater burden on your shoulders than others."
Uncle Liu couldn't help but nag, "You still need someone who cares about you to accompany you. Don't miss the opportunity if you have it."
"Okay, I'll remember that."
Knowing his good intentions, Lin Jingyu readily agreed.
The grandfather and grandson talked for a while longer.
Lin Jingyu was driven away by the old man; he no longer needed her to waste his time.
...
Fragrant Capital.
Gao Meirou's face was extremely ugly. "I didn't expect that woman named Lin Jingyu to run back to the capital at this time."
"Wouldn't it be better for her to return to the capital?"
Takeda Kuratoshi knew her plans. "The Peng siblings, the Chen family, the Ye siblings, and the Zhang family's daughter and son-in-law—you can take revenge on any of them you want."
"The person I most want to meet is Lin Jingyu."
Gao Meirou knew that Lin Jingyu was highly regarded in Xiangdu, and she was very resentful.
No matter what tricks she played during this time, none of the celebrities and tycoons in Hong Kong took her seriously.
Even if they did, it was only because they coveted her beauty; they didn't take her seriously at all.
Thinking of this, Gao Roumei gritted her teeth in hatred and felt even more disgusted with Lin Jingyu.
She sneered repeatedly, "I'll show them whether Lin Jingyu or I, Gao Roumei, are more powerful."
"Don't worry, she'll come back to Xiangdu sooner or later."
Takeda Kurachi did not take her petty squabbles to heart. "Our most important task now is to develop our power. We should take advantage of these two years to expand our forces."
The biggest obstacles for us right now are the He Gang and the 12K Gang. These two gangs have the most members, and it's too difficult for us to develop within these two major gangs.
"Now we can only rely on Roumei to take action. As long as Lu Zhengxing of the He Gang and Li Yubai of the 12K Gang are willing to turn a blind eye, our manpower can be rapidly expanded."
"Uncle Takeda, I understand what you mean."
Gao Roumei shook her snow-white neck, her tone tinged with resentment, "I've already met them once, and it seems they're quite picky; they don't even take me seriously."
"What, is there a man you can't handle with your gentle charm?"
Takeda Kuratomo's unrestrained gaze swept over her, as if peering through her thin clothes at the scenery beneath. "No matter what kind of man he is, he can't escape the allure of beauty."
You should be well aware of this.
A seemingly proud man is simply someone whose tactics haven't worked on him.
Once you've got a man into your trap, it's much easier to control him.
As he spoke, he walked up to Gao Roumei and reached out to lift her beautiful, jade-like chin.
He then lowered his head, his lips brushing against his red lips unintentionally, his voice slightly hoarse, "Meirou, when it's time to act, you have to act, understand?"
"What, Uncle Takeda wants to teach Yumi how to make moves?"
Gao Roumei reached out and wrapped her arms around his neck, a bright smile spreading across her beautiful face. "Uncle Takeda should understand my charm; aren't those foreigners obediently listening to me now?"
"Of course I do."
Takeda Kuratoshi pulled the person into his arms, his face full of smiles but speaking coldly, "It's not enough for just foreigners to like playing with you, the most important thing is that Lü Zhengxing and Li Yubai like you."
If both foreigners and all of them want you, wouldn't that make life quite interesting?
