On the day of Zhou Xiangnan's wedding, the Ji family's wedding arrangements went awry.
The newspaper reporters who attended the weddings of the Feng and Zhou families that day were filled with regret. They wished they had gone to the Ji family's house instead, as they would have been able to obtain firsthand news information.
Even so, on the front page of the next day's newspaper, next to Zhou Xiangnan and Feng Shaozhe's wedding photo, the newspaper gave Ji Mingkai the same space.
On the day of the wedding of the Ji and Tang families, a young woman with her child disrupted the ceremony, causing Miss Tang Wan to break down in tears, and the wedding was forced to be canceled. Stay tuned for further developments.
Less than a day later, the young woman produced evidence that she and Mr. Ji Mingkai were already married in the United States of America.
Two days later, Ms. Tang Wan announced that she and Mr. Ji Mingkai were no longer engaged.
When Zhou Xiangnan and Feng Shaozhe were about to leave for Hong Kong, Tang Wan had already moved into the Lin mansion as a close friend of Lin Qinghai's fifth concubine. She claimed to be visiting a friend to cheer herself up after a heartbreak, but everyone knew that Tang Wan's position as the sixth concubine was already secured.
The day before Lu Tao took Xu Keke to the He residence to meet He Qingfeng, Xu Keke learned that Lu Tao had another identity: He Qingfeng's godson.
Xu Keke was a little puzzled, "Given Uncle Feng's attitude towards He Qingfeng, their relationship must not be very good."
Zhou Zian was with them when he heard Xu Keke's question. He looked at her in surprise and asked, "Can't you see?"
Lu Tao didn't quite understand, so Zhou Zi'an patiently explained to him that Xu Keke could communicate with spirits. Zhou Zi'an's thinking was simple: rather than letting Lu Tao know these things from his father, it was better for him to tell him himself.
Zhou Zian slapped his forehead. "Could it be that you can only see things about your family and not outsiders?"
Lu Tao suspected that he was retaliating against him for the day he swapped clothes with him, but he had no proof.
Xu Keke had no interest in the immaturity of these two. She was more interested in the relationship between Lu Tao and He Qingfeng.
The story is quite simple. Lu Tao's maternal grandfather was a schoolteacher who had taught He Qingfeng for a few days. Later, his mentor's daughter died young, and he adopted Lu Tao as his godson. However, He Qingfeng and Feng Shaozhe had disagreements on many things, so their relationship was neither public nor private.
With Lu Tao's connection to He Qingfeng, Xu Keke was able to do some things more easily.
Taking advantage of her visit to He Qingfeng, Xu Keke used her charlatan status to openly sow discord between Lin Qinghai and He Qingfeng. As fate would have it, Lin Qinghai got into trouble. He Qingfeng initially didn't believe Xu Keke's story, but while he was investigating, a Japanese man happened to be introduced to Lin Qinghai privately.
Although He Qingfeng was a notorious tyrant in Shanghai, he was a patriot. In his own words, he couldn't bear the infamy of being a traitor; he would never betray his country.
So not long after, Lin Qinghai disappeared from Shanghai.
Just as Xu Keke thought, although they had arrived in Hong Kong, Feng Shaozhe and Zhou Xiangnan were busy raising funds and supplies and doing what they could during the war.
After marrying Lu Tao, Xu Keke went to the front lines. Later, Lu Tao was injured and returned to Hong Kong for work.
Xu Keke encountered Ji Mingkai on the streets of Hong Kong, and to her surprise, Ji Mingkai was with Tang Wan. Judging from their clothes, it was clear that they were not living a good life.
Chen Le's grandmother passed away not long after arriving in Hong Kong. Chen Le lived with the Zhou family and called Wang Shujin "Mom." Later, Mingyu came to see him once. By then, Chen Le had already been promoted to a big star by Zhou Xiangnan's film company. Chen Le gave Mingyu some money and signed another agreement with her, completely severing their mother-son relationship.
Xu Keke and Lu Tao had no children in this life. They moved abroad, and Lu Tao was assassinated. Xu Keke followed him in death that same day.
Before closing her eyes, Xu Keke saw Zhou Shaoqiu smiling as he walked towards her. Xu Keke felt very apologetic towards him.
"I'm sorry I couldn't fulfill your wish."
With tears in his eyes, Zhou Shaoqiu smiled and shook his head at her. "My brother wasn't the kind of person to run away. I should have known better. Even if he hadn't died on the day Shanghai fell, he wouldn't have chosen to live a life of quiet desperation. I'm happy for him that he died a worthy death. It's just fortunate that Chen Le was there to comfort my mother amidst her grief."
After saying this, Zhou Shaoqiu's figure gradually faded away.
