Sheng Qian took He Weiguo and the others and left by plane.
I made absolutely no preparations for this trip abroad, and I didn't even have time to tell anyone.
Moreover, this is not something that should be discussed with anyone.
Sheng Qian left silently, and no one knew or could find her.
At the engagement banquet, Elder Long sent people to look for Sheng Qian repeatedly, but they couldn't find her. It was Long Yucheng, who was sitting not far away, who heard that Elder Long was looking for Sheng Qian and belatedly remembered that there was such a thing. It's true that drinking can lead to trouble.
He quickly broke free from the crowd of friends and ran to Grandpa Long. "Grandpa, my second sister-in-law asked me to tell you before she left that she has something urgent to take care of."
"You brat, why didn't you say so before?" Long Haifeng said angrily, kicking him.
Long Yucheng, who had been kicked hard, said, "I just didn't think of that for a moment."
"Did Qian say she was going to deal with something urgent?" Hou Guifang asked.
"Second sister-in-law didn't say."
"What exactly happened to this girl, Sheng Qian?" Long Huiqing had never met Sheng Qian, but after learning the basic details, she felt that Sheng Qian's absence from such a matter was really inappropriate.
Adding to Long Jingyu's embellished words, Long Huiqing frowned, and her impression of Sheng Qian became less favorable.
If there's anything urgent, why not wait until after Xingzhou's engagement banquet to leave? Why make things awkward at this time?
"My second sister-in-law may really have something urgent to do. Grandpa, Mom, please don't blame her."
Long Xingzhou, who was standing behind, immediately pleaded on Sheng Qian's behalf upon hearing this.
Jin Ruoxuan's father glanced at Long Xingzhou, then at his daughter, and frowned slightly.
Long Xingzhou is being a bit too kind to his younger siblings.
Jin Ruoxuan didn't notice anything amiss; she simply felt that Long Xingzhou valued brotherhood, so she spoke up for Sheng Qian as well.
Jin's father, being a man, easily sensed something amiss.
I just didn't dare to confirm whether it was what I thought.
“But it depends on the occasion. She ran away without a word, and this has caused quite a stir…” Long Jingyu sighed. “Your grandfather was originally going to introduce her here so that relatives and friends would know she existed. Now that she’s run away, will we have to organize another gathering and introduce her again?”
Isn't this just pointless tinkering?
The Jin family frowned upon hearing this.
Old Master Long frowned and glanced at Long Jingyu.
Long Jingyu quickly shut her mouth.
Long Huiqing looked at this and then at that, sensing that something was off about how her family treated her eldest sister.
So she didn't say anything right away.
"Since Qian is not here, the engagement banquet will continue. There's no need to wait for anyone."
After Mr. Long spoke, everyone returned to their seats and continued to warm up the atmosphere.
It seemed as if nothing had happened, and both host and guests enjoyed themselves.
Old Master Long, however, looked uneasy.
After the banquet ended, Long Xingzhou personally escorted the Jin family back home. Fortunately, the engagement ceremony was held at a hotel, so there was no need for anyone to stay and clean up the venue, which saved a lot of trouble.
On the way back to the Long family, Old Master Long made a phone call himself and found the highest-ranking person in charge, but they were also unaware of the situation.
Old Master Long stepped out, and since he was no longer in that position, he couldn't bypass Old Master Shen to inquire about his grandson's situation, so he had no choice but to give up.
But even after returning to the Long family, his heart could not find peace.
As soon as they arrived home, Long Huiqing couldn't wait to ask Hou Guifang, "What's going on with this Qian girl? It's not that I dislike her because she married into the family from the countryside, but she's already married, so why is she never home? And what did my elder sister say..."
Hou Guifang watched her family members walk inside, and upon hearing the last sentence, her face darkened slightly, and her voice lowered, "Huiqing, the old man values Xiaoqian very much."
One sentence is enough.
Long Huiqing couldn't help but glance at Long Jingyu, who was walking in ahead, and raised an eyebrow.
This situation makes it seem like the eldest sister is unpopular and has even caused a scene.
Long Huiqing wasn't stupid after all; she knew that things weren't as simple as her older sister had made them out to be.
The idea of a bride marrying to bring good luck or a country bumpkin is unreliable.
Perhaps it's true, but to be valued by her father, she's no ordinary country girl who doesn't know the rules. Judging by the amount she's valued, she's clearly more important than anyone else in the family.
This is enough to prove that Xiao Qian is quite capable.
However, her eldest sister's words were a bit excessive. If she were the kind of person who believed everything she heard, she would probably already be angry with Sheng Qian.
"Dad, you've had a long day, go back to your room and get some rest."
Long Haifeng said.
Old Master Long turned around and looked at the whole family, saying, "Go back and rest, there's nothing else. Haifeng, come with me."
Seeing Elder Long's serious expression, it didn't seem like nothing had happened.
Long Haifeng's heart skipped a beat. Could something have happened?
Long Haifeng followed Elder Long into the study. Elder Long did not sit down, but waited for him to close the door before turning around and looking at Long Haifeng seriously. "On the way back, I made several phone calls, but I couldn't get any news from Yunting."
Long Haifeng suddenly looked at Old Man Long: "Dad, what do you mean?"
"Yun Ting may be in danger."
"Didn't Yun Ting already retire? With him in that state, how could they possibly give him any more tasks? What are they thinking above!"
Is there something that requires someone like Long Yunting, who is in a wheelchair, to do?
Elder Long said, "It's highly likely that there's a mission he can take on, which is why we sent him there."
"Dad, why are you still letting them mess with Yunting? He's already like that, what can't someone else do? Does it have to be him? If possible, let me go and replace him!" Long Haifeng was a little agitated, and his voice involuntarily grew louder.
