Hearing this, Li Ziyan was initially taken aback, then turned her head to look at the bald man, "Really?"
The bald man laughed, "Why would I lie to you? If you don’t believe it, you can search for Sun Shanshan’s name on Weibo."
Li Ziyan immediately took out her cell phone, and after seeing the video that Mother Sun had exposed, she felt a lot more at ease.
Someone like Sun Shanshan truly deserved to die.
Maybe she had done a good deed after all!
The bald man tossed away his cigarette butt, "I wasn’t wrong, was I?"
"Yeah." Li Ziyan nodded and then asked, "Are you coming back with me?"
The bald man outright laughed, "Do you think I can still go back?"
Li Ziyan bit her lip and did not speak any further as she continued to pack her suitcase with her head down.
The bald man said nothing more, just keeping her company.
An eerie silence fell upon the room.
Twelve o’clock.
Lin Guixiang and Mu Baicheng arrived at the airport.
The two held hands, like any couple in the throes of passionate love.
There was still time to spare, and Mu Baicheng looked at Lin Guixiang, "Do you want a milk tea? I’ll go buy one."
"Okay." Lin Guixiang nodded faintly.
Mu Baicheng got up to buy milk tea.
This was a first for him.
After all, he was a man nearing fifty.
The old Mu Baicheng had never imagined that one day, he would be queuing for a milk tea like these young people.
But this feeling wasn’t at all unpleasant.
Just then, Mu Baicheng seemed to think of something and took out his phone to snap a photo at the drink stand before sending it to Lin Guixiang.
[What do you want to drink?]
Lin Guixiang replied quickly, [Bayberry lychee drink, fifty percent sugar.]
Without further ado, Mu Baicheng placed his order, "Hello, two bayberry lychee drinks, both fifty percent sugar, no ice."
"Alright, please wait a moment."

Elsewhere.
The Lin Bingqiang household.
The Zhao Family parents had wrapped many buns.
Mother Zhao looked at Zhao Cuinong, "Cui Nong, can you take some buns over to Xiao Wu?"
"Okay." Zhao Cuinong picked up the buns that Mother Zhao had packed and headed out.
She quickly arrived on the 28th floor.
Zhao Cuinong had the fingerprint lock code for Lin Wu’s home, so she didn’t need to knock and could just enter.
The house was eerily silent, with not a soul around.
Zhao Cuinong was somewhat puzzled.
Under normal circumstances, Lin Guixiang should be at home.
Zhao Cuinong placed the buns on the dining table, "Big sister, are you home?"
There was no answer from inside the house.
"Strange, where did everyone go?" Zhao Cuinong frowned slightly.
The door creaked.
Just at that moment, the bedroom door opened.
Lin Wu walked out of the room in her pajamas, "Auntie."
Seeing Lin Wu, Zhao Cuinong was startled, "Xiao Wu, have you just woken up?"
"Mhm." Lin Wu nodded slightly.
She had stayed up researching until past four in the morning. If Zhao Cuinong hadn’t come over unexpectedly, she probably would still be asleep now.
Zhao Cuinong continued, "I brought you some buns, go wash up quickly and eat them while they’re hot."
Lin Wu nodded again and walked toward the bathroom.
After a short while, Lin Wu finished freshening up and Zhao Cuinong emerged from the kitchen holding a plate of sliced fruit, "Xiao Wu, I’ve warmed up the milk for you. Drink the milk first, then eat the buns, and afterwards have some fruit."
"Thank you, Auntie." Lin Wu didn’t stand on ceremony and drank more than half a glass of milk.
After she finished drinking the milk, Zhao Cuinong asked curiously, "Xiao Wu, where did your mom go?"
"My mom went on a trip."
On a trip?
Zhao Cuinong was taken aback, "With whom?"
Lin Wu smiled faintly, "It’s a secret."
Zhao Cuinong laughed as well, "You, keeping secrets from me!"
However, since Lin Wu had already declared it a secret, Zhao Cuinong did not probe any further.
Lin Wu picked up a bun, "Auntie, I want my mom to tell you in person."
"Alright." Zhao Cuinong nodded.
From Lin Wu’s words, Zhao Cuinong could infer a hint of something.
After Lin Wu ate, Zhao Cuinong went to wash the milk glass and the fruit plate, then said, "Xiao Wu, remember to come to our house for dinner tonight."
"Tonight?" Lin Wu thought seriously for a moment, "Auntie, I have to go out in the afternoon, but I will try my best to come back for dinner."
Zhao Cuinong nodded, "Okay."

Meanwhile, at the Mu Family’s residence.
Mu Xiaoxiao stood beside Old Lady Mu, "Grandma, I heard that Old Madam Ouyang’s birthday banquet is on the third of next month, could we go to wish the Ouyang family a happy birthday?"
She hadn’t had the courage to ask Ouyang Yi for an autograph at the Dazhao Temple last time, and Mu Xiaoxiao always felt it was a pity.
Although Ouyang Yi had a terrible temper and suffered from intermittent mental disorders, making him difficult to approach, Mu Xiaoxiao knew that people like him were typically cold on the outside but warm inside. He was fierce and ferocious to strangers, but deeply loyal to those he was familiar with.
Upon hearing this, Old Lady Mu looked at Mu Xiaoxiao and couldn’t help but widen her eyes, "You child, do you know what you are saying?"
Pay a birthday visit to the Ouyang family?
It was out of the question for their Mu family!
Even the Tang Family, known as the top wealthy family, didn’t have the qualifications to pay a birthday visit to the Ouyang family without an invitation.
As she finished speaking, Old Lady Mu added, "Do you know who the guests at the Ouyang family’s birthday banquet are?"
Mu Xiaoxiao shook her head, "I don’t know."
Old Lady Mu explained, "The guests at the Ouyang family’s banquet are prominent figures who you only see on the national news. It is said that even Mr. K has to show some respect to the Ouyang family."
What chance did their family of merchants have to easily mingle with the Ouyang family?
Mu Xiaoxiao knew the Ouyang family was powerful but had not realized that the usually low-profile Ouyang family was the true power broker of the Capital City.
"So, forget about this. Our Mu family wouldn’t even have a place to stand and eat at the Ouyang family’s," she remarked.
Upon hearing this, Mu Xiaoxiao narrowed her eyes.
Not even a place to stand and eat? ƒгeewebnovёl_com
Grandma was surely underestimating her.
Just then, an urgent ringtone of a cellphone interrupted Mu Xiaoxiao’s thoughts. She picked up the phone and walked upstairs to answer the call, "Hello?"
The voice of Mu Xiaoxiao’s personal assistant came from the other end, "Miss, I... I think I just saw the master at Hangjiang Airport, and there was a woman with him."
