Shen Jingyan avoided his gaze and mumbled, "I didn't say anything else."
Gu Zhiyun lifted Shen Jingyan's chin, making her look at him.
Shen Jingyan was a little afraid to look into Gu Zhiyun's deep eyes, eyes that seemed to see through everything.
“Your eyes can’t hide any secrets at all,” Gu Zhiyun said.

With Gu Zhiyun's considerate words, she no longer regretted the choice she made today.
Gu Zhiyun tossed and turned all night.
All along, it was Jingya who was making sacrifices for him, but he had never done anything for Jingya.
This filled him with unease.
He thought he would consult Professor Huang first thing tomorrow morning to see if there was a way to have the best of both worlds: to get Shen Jingyan on the news broadcast without revealing his identity.
The next morning, while the family was having breakfast, the Xu family called.
Xu Honglin brought unexpected and heartbreaking news.
"Jingya, Xiao Gu, are you free today? Come back and see Grandpa. The Qin family sent an obituary last night. Old Master Qin has passed away. Your grandpa was so sad all night that he couldn't even eat breakfast this morning."
Upon hearing this, Gu Zhiyun immediately said, "I'll ask the Aerospace Academy for leave right away."
After a quick breakfast, Shen Jingyan and Gu Zhiyun handed Rui Rui over to Aunt Qian and went to the Xu family.
Old Xu was sitting on the sofa with his head down, flipping through a photo album.
The album is full of old black and white photos, including many pictures of him and Mr. Qin.
"Grandpa?" Shen Jingyan called softly and sat down next to Old Man Xu.
Gu Zhiyun sat down next to Old Man Xu.
Old Xu looked at the two of them, sighed deeply, and said with boundless sorrow:
"Sigh, Lao Qin is gone. His passing was so sudden."
Shen Jingyan also felt that Old Master Qin's passing was very sudden.
Although they hadn't seen each other for several years, Gu Zhiyun and Shen Jingyan still remembered this quirky old man.
Grandpa Qin was a war hero with extremely sound values.
Although Xu Yatong resolutely left the wedding due to Zhou Zhengqing's series of scandals, this did not affect the relationship between Grandpa Qin and Grandpa Xu.

Back then, Grandpa Qin firmly opposed Zhou Zhengqing and Xu Yatong's marriage because he knew what kind of person his grandson was.
He didn't protect his own, not even giving face to his own daughter; Old Master Qin truly stood on the side of truth.
Old Xu pointed to a photo in the album and said:
"Look, this is a photo of the two of us in front of the first-generation Aegis fighter jet. I participated in the development of the first-generation Aegis fighter jet, and Lao Qin was the first test pilot."
Old Xu's amnesia comes and goes. Sometimes he can't even remember his own name. He has to think carefully about who his own son is when he stands in front of him. He also often can't remember the names of his three granddaughters, Xu Yatong, Shen Jingyan, and Feifei. However, he clearly remembers the things he did with Old Qin.
"At that time, no one was sure that the test flight would be successful, because we had no experience in building fighter jets. Before taking off, Lao Qin had written his will."
Old Xu said, "He wasn't afraid at all, and said he trusted us researchers. He's a true hero."
The obituary sent by the Qin family stated that the farewell ceremony would be held in three days.
Despite the strained relationship between the Qin and Xu families due to the incident involving Xu Yatong and Zhou Zhengqing, the Xu family still decided to attend the funeral as a whole.
Including Hsu Ya-Tung.

Qiao Suxin asked with some concern, "Tongtong, I'm worried you'll run into Zhou Zhengqing..."
"Mom, there's nothing to be afraid of. No matter how much of a scoundrel he is, he wouldn't dare to cause trouble at his grandfather's funeral."
Qiao Suxin was not only worried about Zhou Zhengqing harassing Xu Yatong, but also worried that Qin Yuehe would take the opportunity to get close to Xu Yatong.
Xu Yatong's daughter, Yuanyuan, is already six years old. During these six years, Qin Yuehe has contacted Qiao Suxin many times, hoping to meet Yuanyuan.
Qiao Suxin rejected them all.
But she knew that Qin Yuehe had not given up on letting Xu Yatong marry Zhou Zhengqing.
Zhou Zhengqing's reputation in the capital was completely ruined; no girl from a good family was willing to marry this playboy.
The Zhou family, with their high-minded and proud nature, looked down on the girls from lower-class families.
And so, Zhou Zhengqing was already thirty years old and still a bachelor.
Shen Jingyan, not wanting Qiao Suxin to worry too much, comforted her:

"Mom, don't worry, I'll stay by Tongtong's side and keep Zhou Zhengqing and Qin Yuehe away from her."
Three days later, Old Man Xu, Xu Honglin and his wife, Shen Jingyan and Gu Zhiyun, Feifei and Yang Zinuo, and Xu Yatong all gathered at the Xu family home and went to the Qin family home to pay their respects.
(Feifei and Yang Zinuo are already married! Their wedding night will be described in a bonus chapter.)
Grandpa Qin was a national first-class combat hero, and he was buried draped in the national flag.
At the funeral, Zhou Zhengqing noticed the Xu family. He was distracted, his eyes constantly darting towards their direction.
However, the first person he noticed was not Xu Yatong, but Shen Jingyan.
Unexpectedly, after several years, Shen Jingyan is still so youthful and beautiful, and has even gained a touch of feminine charm.
Seeing the handsome and composed Gu Zhiyun next to Shen Jingyan, Zhou Zhengqing became even more furious.
He always believed that Gu Zhiyun had taken Shen Jingyan away.
Back in the forest farm, it was clearly him who took a liking to Shen Jingyan first. If Gu Zhiyun hadn't intercepted her halfway, Shen Jingyan would have been his woman long ago.

Thinking of this, he gritted his teeth fiercely.
Shen Jingyan noticed Zhou Zhengqing's blatant gaze and felt nauseous.
A leopard can't change its spots!
After the farewell ceremony for Grandpa Qin, Old Man Xu wanted to go home.
He remained immersed in grief and was in a very low mood.
However, the Qin family also arranged a banquet to thank the guests who came to attend the funeral.
Since Mr. Qin's son extended a warm invitation, Mr. Xu did not refuse.
The banquet was held at the Imperial Capital Hotel.
During a break from eating, Qin Yuehe finally found an opportunity to speak with Xu Yatong.
She disregarded the fact that Shen Jingyan and Feifei were both beside Xu Yatong, and grabbed Xu Yatong's hand to ask:

"Tongtong, why didn't you bring Yuanyuan with you?"
