After Xu Yanzhi left, the old lady stopped Tan Yuchen and asked him what had happened with the girl earlier.
"Do you think I'm an old woman with failing eyesight, that you'd keep something like this from me?"
"Why would I do that? With your strength, another blow from you would leave me paralyzed."
After some lighthearted banter, Tan Yuchen said that, just as Xu Yanzhi had described, there had been an accident, and the other party had gone on vacation abroad. He had asked Xu Yanzhi to help find him.
He glanced at the old lady casually. "Given your family's traditions, this has happened, but you've still wronged them. Should I just propose marriage directly?"
The old lady almost had a headache from being so angry with him.
"Of all the ways to compensate, you had to choose the worst one. You can't force feelings. Does that girl even have feelings for you? Don't ruin her life."
Whether a marriage can last depends on feelings and the determination to support each other, and these two are clearly completely unrelated.
Tan Yuchen nodded leisurely, "So, you mean as long as she's interested in me in the future, that's all that matters, right?"
The old lady was confused by what he said and began to doubt whether they were talking about the same person.
What does "also" mean?
Tan Yuchen stood up and went to the flower hall. Zheng Yazhi, who had been sitting quietly, suddenly became frightened.
Her life was completely changed when she went to help out on the cruise ship. First, a super beautiful girl gave her 200,000 yuan to pretend to be a victim and go abroad to relax. When she was almost scammed abroad, someone rescued her and gave her a perfect story with great temptation.
She was waiting for the man to ask her a question, but Tan Yuchen only glanced at her.
He was originally so indifferent, but because of his arrogant appearance and prominent nose, he naturally exuded a sense of oppression that made people feel breathless.
He didn't ask anything, he just asked Jiang Zhou to see her out.
She had prepared herself for repeated questioning, but she passed through it so easily. As she left Orange Garden, she turned back and looked at the palace one last time. If it weren't for this extraordinary encounter, she probably would never have known that anyone lived like this.
Jiang Zhou opened the car door for her, and she quickly said, "You can just take me out of this manor. I can take the train back by myself."
Her home was in a poor tenement building.
Jiang Zhou said, "The Third Young Master said he would compensate you. He has a house in the suburbs where you can stay. He also just told us to bring your family here."
ah?
Such a good thing?

Who exactly is helping Gao Xian Yue?
Was this person involved in Gao Xian Yue's killing of her adoptive father back then?
Meng Jiuyi sat on the carpet, looking up at the solitary photo in the glass mirror. The setting sun cast its light into her eyes, making them appear as desolate as a desert.
She then pasted another piece of white paper on top, placed it next to Gao Xian Yue's photo, and drew a question mark with a pen.
If the first time hadn't taught her a lesson enough, then Li Zhen's departure was like tearing flesh from her body. Gao Xian Yue was a madwoman who killed indiscriminately.
If she fails to hit the bullseye next time, she might just be digging her own grave.
Moreover, the other party was in the shadows while she was in the open, and Gao Xian Yue had the Xu family's backing, so she really had no chance of winning.
She absolutely would not allow Gao Xian Yue to hurt anyone around her again.
Meng Jiuyi slowly raised his eyes.
If Gao Xian Yue can leverage this opportunity, why can't she?
Suddenly, something furry nudged his hand. Meng Jiuyi looked down and saw that it was Jiang Hehua asking for attention.
Go find your godmother.
It didn't leave, but just squinted its eyes and stared at her with that adorable look.
Meng Jiuyi had no choice but to peel an apple and feed it. Everything about the furry creature was very comforting. She spent most of the afternoon petting it, or using its belly to warm her feet before sleeping. The purebred alpaca had an exceptionally good temperament and could stay obediently by her side all day.
Her frustration and depression dissipated, and for the first time she realized that the sheep Tan Yuchen had given her was not entirely useless.
Just as I was thinking about Cao Cao, he called again.
Meng Jiuyi deliberately didn't answer, even though she knew Tan Yuchen was an excellent candidate to take advantage of the situation, but she was in a bad mood and just didn't want to answer.
They need him, but no one wants to give him a friendly look.
Less than half an hour later, there was a knock on the door. Meng Jiuyi thought that someone had come to the door, but when she looked out through the peephole, she found that it was the food delivery guy.
It was probably Wen Qi who ordered the takeout.
She opened the door, and the deliveryman read aloud from the note, "This is takeout ordered by Mr. Tan Yuchen for his girlfriend, Ms. Meng Jiuyi. Please check it."
Meng Jiuyi: "......."
"Who is it?" Wen Qi opened the door and saw a person and a sheep. Several delivery guys came to the door one after another, their hands full of takeout that could almost cover the entire table.
He's sick.
Meng Jiuyi brought them in one by one. Wen Qi opened the box and exclaimed in surprise, "They're actually pastries from the White Swan Lotus Garden! Are we going to achieve Michelin freedom tonight?"
It's not just that; it seems like all the takeout orders in the neighborhood are being delivered to their area.
The culprit didn't even make a phone call, so who knows what he's up to? Meng Jiuyi couldn't stand it anymore and called him directly.
"Are you crazy? Why did you order so much?"
Tan Yuchen said casually, "I can't tell that I'm feeding piglets."
Meng Jiuyi: "......"
Before she could reply, Tan Yuchen said, "Come to the balcony."
Meng Jiuyi was taken aback. She slowly walked to the balcony. There were two eye-catching blue Koenigseggs parked in the open-air parking area downstairs, and the man was leaning against them. Their eyes met, and he slowly smiled and waved two fingers at her.
A top-of-the-line luxury car, coupled with a man with such an aura, attracted attention not only from passersby but also from people upstairs and downstairs.
Wen Qi wanted to see too, but Meng Jiuyi pushed her head back with one hand and locked the window as well.
Tan Yuchen said in a drawn-out tone, "Why don't you let your friends see me? I'm so shameful."
"Are you so shameless, a third party?"
Meng Jiuyi was practically gritting his teeth as he said, "I'll send Jiang Hehua down to find you. After you see her, get the hell out of here!"
She saw Tan Yuchen's message about the sheep, but she didn't want to reply.
"Who wants to see that fat sheep?"
Looking up from the seventh or eighth floor, Tan Yuchen seemed to be able to see straight into her heart, his voice and breath equally captivating, "The one I've always wanted to see is you."
