In the capital city, at the residence of Ding Zhengnan's family.
Lu Feiyan returned to her sister's home. She hadn't yet figured out how to clearly explain things to her sister and brother-in-law. Now that she had sorted out her relationship with the other side, it was time to be honest about this situation.
Reflecting on when she first learned about everything, it seemed that her goal had been achieved, but not in the way she had wanted.
Perhaps it was because she had provoked Jiang Yizhou, which made him choose to be an upfront scoundrel instead of a deceitful one. If he had been the latter, given their established relationship and lingering feelings, her niece might have ended up like her sister and brother-in-law.
However, it was all a bit too late now.
“Creak~~”
Lu Yan opened the door and saw Lu Feiyan's serious expression. All she could do was ask; she couldn't tell from her sister's face whether she was happy or sad.
“What happened? Did you find Ding Zhengnan?”
“I got in touch with him, but…” Lu Feiyan hesitated for a moment. “But I don’t know where Ding Zhengnan is! Don’t worry, sis, she’s not a child anymore. Since she can still call me, it means she’s doing well!”
Lu Yan felt both surprised and somewhat disappointed. “Oh, I see. So what’s going on with her?”
The two of them walked slowly into the living room and sat down. Lu Feiyan tried to soothe her sister. “She didn’t tell me the specifics, but she will definitely be back before the New Year. There must be something holding her back right now, so you can rest easy! It’ll be fine!”
With that, Lu Yan felt completely reassured. As long as there was no ambiguity and they could confirm when she would return, everything would be alright. “Why are you like this? No matter what, you shouldn’t run away from home! You’ve made me worry so much as a mother and caused you to fuss around! Sigh~~”
“Sis, what are you saying!” Lu Feiyan was closest to this sister. Even though she wasn’t married herself, she treated Ding Zhengnan like her own child and didn’t hold back at all. That’s why she was so concerned; who would have thought it would backfire? This matter of feelings was truly too strange.
Some people expend all their energy to love someone but are discarded by the one they love like a piece of grass. Others merely catch a glance and gain favor effortlessly.
This thing has never been about equal returns on investment or some kind of relationship; it’s just a gamble—one-on-one, one-to-many, many-to-many—knowing or not knowing others' stakes. Some don’t even understand their own stakes clearly and are full of self-importance.
The only thing that can make people envious is that kind of relationship where childhood friends grow up together without developing any sense of resistance due to their familiarity.
Naturally, due to an accidental physical contact—perhaps a kiss or an embrace—the feelings that had been building up over the years are suddenly ignited, and both sets of parents approve.
Their advantageous family backgrounds mean they do not have to worry about base physiological needs leading to anything sordid; they truly are a beautiful couple!
Unfortunately, out of a thousand couples who reach the end together, no one knows if there can be a pair that is a perfect match.
Lu Feiyan has developed a fear and aversion towards love because of her sister's experiences, which is why she has remained single until now.
"No, since Anran is fine, I can rest easy. I hope Ding Zhengnan can move on from this experience!" Lu Yan sighed.
"Sis, why haven't I seen Brother-in-law?" Lu Feiyan asked. Due to her niece's situation, her sister's relationship with Brother-in-law seemed to have improved quite a bit lately, thanks to Jiang Yizhou. It was the weekend, so it was odd that he wasn't home.
Lu Yan explained, "He had some urgent matters to attend to and left about three or four hours ago!"
Ding Dapeng indeed encountered some trouble.
"Things have escalated over there; the higher-ups are demanding strict control over public safety. We can't just let people leave so easily!" A tall man in a suit with gold-rimmed glasses said awkwardly.
Because of Zheng Yi's pressure from both sides and the lack of power in official and gray areas due to Jiang Yizhou, they also began to develop their own connections. Thus, "over there" started tightening security as well.
As a result, Lao Chen also seemed inclined to back off. Originally intending to cause some trouble, he had achieved his goal and decided it was best to stop before attracting unwanted attention.
"That was fast?" Ding Dapeng sighed. Although he had anticipated this outcome, the speed of it still surprised him! More than a year ago, that young man was merely someone making a bit of money and seemed somewhat promising—just somewhat promising.
If he could find a suitable partner for his daughter through his investigation, that would be quite good. The couple only had one daughter and had never considered marrying her off for some powerful alliance, so they hadn't paid much attention.
Later on, when he learned that Ding Zhengnan had invested some resources into that young man, he conducted an investigation. Fortunately, he wasn't someone who would deceive others for money or love; he adhered strictly to principles regarding debts, shares, and maintaining appropriate boundaries between men and women. The only dissatisfaction he had was that he chose such a money-draining bottomless pit!
What is the Internet? Can it make money? He couldn't see it, only noticing the monthly expenses that easily reached tens of thousands, and later, the costs kept increasing, making it a losing venture.
But in just one year, that person became wealthier and more enigmatic than him, to the point where he even entertained the thought of introducing Jiang Yizhou to others as "this is my son-in-law."
Therefore, Ding Dapeng didn't care much about his relationship with other women, as long as it didn't exceed this excessive level and didn't disturb his family.
Unfortunately, life is unpredictable. Ding Dapeng had no idea what had happened between his daughter and the son-in-law he once approved of. He only knew that if his daughter could be so resolute, he had to stand up for her; otherwise, he would be burning with anger inside!
Why do young people pursue individuality so much? He couldn't understand. The only thing he was sure of was that Jiang Yizhou, who had suddenly become wealthy but hadn't yet developed a sense of class consciousness, was becoming increasingly detestable.
"Lao Chen, that's enough for now. Thank you so much! I will make it up to you!" After making the call, Ding Dapeng soothed his old friend. Since Jiang Yizhou had left, any further disgust would be pointless, and serious people at the same level were not easy to deal with.
"What about over here?" asked a tall, thin man.
"Take your time. Since it's come to this, we can only proceed. Let's not make things difficult for them; it's just a matter of spending a bit more time and effort!"
In the past, from a god's perspective, Ding Dapeng felt everything was under control; one decision could change someone's life. His feelings were complicated now as he needed to face reality and even look up to that person to some extent.
