Five minutes passed quickly, and Shen Niannian had no choice but to be taken away by the bodyguards.
The moment the car door closed, Shen Niannian's mind went blank, and she could only shrink herself into the seat without saying a word.
Seeing this, He Yan could only sigh and say, "Niannian, our family is different from ordinary families. Mom is doing this for your own good. You'll understand in time."
Shen Niannian still didn't speak to He Yan. Helpless, He Yan could only say to the driver, "Let's go back to Kyoto."
Just as the car drove away from the residential area, Duan Ze suddenly opened the window and subconsciously looked down, but he could no longer see anything.
Duan Ze stuck his head out of the window and looked up. The lights upstairs were already off. Usually at this time, the lights being off meant that the silly girl was already asleep.
Duan Ze shook his head slightly and closed the window helplessly.
At this point, he was actually worried about Shen Niannian.
What will happen to Shen Niannian at home this time?
So Duan Ze quickly washed up and went to bed.
On the evening of the first day of the holiday.
Duan Ye and Luo Qingyuan left Kyoto by plane, but Duan Ze waited in vain for news from Shen Niannian.
The key issue is that not only did they not see Shen Niannian, but the team she led to handle the handover also disappeared without a trace in an instant.
At 7 p.m., Duan Ze still couldn't get in touch with Shen Niannian, so he rushed straight from his home to her house.
He didn't have a key to Shen Niannian's house, but he knew her habits.
So, Duan Ze knocked on the door for several minutes, and when he couldn't get it open, he decisively found the key under the carpet.
When I opened the door, the house was empty. Apart from the basic facilities, there was nothing else. The kitchen looked like it had never been used. Although it was clean and tidy, the refrigerator was completely empty.
Duan Ze frowned…
A vague unease crept into his heart. Could it be... that Shen Niannian was lying when she said she wanted to go home with him?
Duan Ze entered Shen Niannian's bedroom and found that all of Shen Niannian's belongings were still neatly arranged inside, and there were still many clothes in the closet...
It seems he doesn't intend to escape, Duan Ze breathed a sigh of relief.
But before he could even breathe a sigh of relief, Duan Ze couldn't help but wonder, where is that person? How could they have vanished into thin air?
With the mindset of trying one last call, Duan Ze called Shen Niannian again.
He thought that if he couldn't get in touch with Shen Niannian again, he would have to call the police...
Unexpectedly, the call went through this time.
Duan Ze was both overjoyed and worried: "Niannian, where did you go? I couldn't get in touch with you all day. Are you alright?"
Shen Niannian's anxious voice came through: "Brother Duan, let's make this quick. I didn't mean to stand you up, but something happened at home, and I rushed back to Kyoto last night..."
Before Shen Niannian could finish speaking, He Yan banged on the door: "Shen Niannian, what are you doing? Come out right now, we have to go..."
Duan Ze naturally heard it too.
Shen Niannian: "Brother Duan, please forgive me. I really didn't mean it. I'll make amends properly after this period of time has passed."
He Yan urged her urgently, so Shen Niannian had no choice but to hang up the phone.
Opening the door, Chen Niannian said angrily, "Mom, can't you give me a little time?"
He Yan stepped forward and grabbed her hand, leading her out: "Shen Niannian, it's been twenty-five years. I've given you enough time. If you were as capable as Luo Qingyuan, I could let you live until you're thirty."
Seeing that He Yan was determined to stick to her guns, Shen Niannian simply shut up, realizing there was no point in arguing any further.
Duan Ze stood in Shen Niannian's room, lost in thought.
The weather wasn't very good today. Shen Niannian's window wasn't closed properly, and a gentle breeze blew it open, letting in a light drizzle. But twenty minutes later, it turned into a downpour.
Duan Ze walked over without saying a word, closed the window tightly, locked the door, put the key back in its place, and then went downstairs.
He didn't question her, nor did he try to find out what she was thinking.
After all, everyone has emergencies sometimes, and Shen Niannian isn't his girlfriend, so there's really no need to explain anything to him.
Duan Ze tried to comfort himself, but he felt a tightness in his chest.
This time, although it was Shen Niannian who first suggested going home with him, he wouldn't have agreed if he wasn't looking forward to it.
He granted Shen Niannian special privileges, but Shen Niannian... disappointed him a little.
Duan Ze shook his head, smiled helplessly, rubbed his chest, and murmured, "It really is a little sad..."
He didn't want to fall into Shen Niannian's trap.
So after learning that Shen Niannian was safe, Duan Ze rationally suppressed those inappropriate thoughts and did not send any more messages or make any more phone calls to Shen Niannian.
Instead, he drove back to his hometown that very night.
I didn't drive at night originally because of Chen Niannian, but now I don't need to worry about that anymore.
At 10:30 p.m., the plane landed at Shanghai Airport on time.
Duan Ye, carrying Luo Qingyuan and pushing their luggage, had just left the airport when he received a call from his older cousin, Duan Renji.
"Your sister-in-law and I are waiting for you here in the main square."
Duan Ye: "Okay, big brother."
After hanging up the phone, Duan Ye quickly led Luo Qingyuan towards their destination.
Main square.
From afar, Luo Qingyuan spotted a muscular man with a buzz cut. His face, weathered by time, was somewhat rough, yet he exuded an air of righteousness.
Duan Renji also saw Duan Ye and Luo Qingyuan, and immediately strode over to them, warmly taking some of their luggage.
Duan Ye exclaimed happily, "Big Brother!"
Luo Qingyuan also greeted, "Hello, Big Brother."
Duan Renji chuckled and agreed, then punched Duan Ye: "You brat, you didn't even bring your wife home to meet your family sooner."
After saying that, Duan Renji looked at Luo Qingyuan and said, "This must be your sister-in-law. She's so beautiful. Xiao Ye, you must treat her well."
Duan Ye nodded: "I know, big brother, don't worry."
The three walked up to a black Jeep, chatting and laughing. Standing in front of the car was a tall woman with a high ponytail and a very heroic appearance.
Duan Renji: "This is your sister-in-law, Liang Mo."
Duan Ye and Luo Qingyuan called out at the same time, "Sister-in-law."
Liang Mo smiled and stepped forward to shake hands with them: "Hello, you must be tired from your journey, please get in the car."
Duan Ye nodded: "Okay." Then he and Duan Renji loaded all the things into the trunk.
Liang Mo held Luo Qingyuan's hand with a friendly smile: "I've heard from Renji that you were coming back, and I've also heard that Xiao Ye's wife is very beautiful and a returnee from studying abroad. Seeing her today, I can confirm that she lives up to her reputation."
Luo Qingyuan smiled slightly: "Sister-in-law, please don't flatter me. I'm just a small employee, and studying abroad is just an experience."
Liang Mo smiled and said, "Qing Yuan is really modest. A small employee like her can't possibly manage so many people at Henglun."
