"That’s right! Our Yichen has always been devoted to his wife!" Jiang Zhiyuan noticed the atmosphere was tense, so he chimed in. "Who’s getting married?" Mu Yichen suddenly asked her. Jing Qing’s eyes immediately showed excitement, which even she found hard to believe; she thought she could calmly answer such a question. "Someone quite similar to our family, around the same age as me, with the last name Zhen!" Jing Qing gave a brief introduction. Mu Yichen nodded after hearing this, then turned to Jing Feng and said, "Look at how happy Grandpa and the others are chatting, we youngsters should leave first!" Jing Feng had a bad premonition but nodded. Mu Yichen looked at Jiang Zhiyuan, "You come with me!" Jiang Zhiyuan also felt it would be boring if Mu Yichen left, so he shrugged and showed indifference. "So soon, won’t you stay for dinner?" "It’s not very appropriate, let’s leave the elders to enjoy their gathering!" Mu Yichen coldly said to her, then left with Jiang Zhiyuan. Helian Hao had been standing on the side all the while, feeling unexpectedly anxious. "Yichen! I hope you can come to my wedding!" Jing Qing saw them leaving and realized this might be her last chance to see him in the city, so she immediately took two steps forward. However, she was quickly pulled back by Helian Hao. Jing Qing glared at Helian Hao, then turned to watch the back of the man who was already stepping out the front door, and angrily shook off Helian Hao. "Jing Qing, I don’t care what you’re up to, but stay away from Mu Yichen!" Helian Hao might have been shaken off, but her demeanor remained fierce. "That’s none of your business! Or did your friend tell you to stay here and guard the house?" "Don’t say I didn’t warn you, it’s best if you leave as soon as you can after coming back this time." After saying this, Helian Hao turned and walked inside; she had to help her mother-in-law in the kitchen, even if just pretending to be busy. Before Mu Yichen left, Jing Feng explained to him, "Jing Qing will leave tomorrow, don’t overdo it!" Mu Yichen gave him just one look, but it was far too deep and icy, leaving an uneasy feeling in the heart. Mu Yichen opened the car door and got inside, followed by Jiang Zhiyuan in his car, trailing behind. After driving a bit, he pulled over. Jiang Zhiyuan parked beside him, saw Mu Yichen get out of the car, so he did the same, "Why did you stop?" Mu Yichen didn’t answer right away; he simply drew a cigarette from his pocket and lit it. "Look into this Zhen Family!" "Why investigate the Zhen Family? Are you considering giving them a wedding gift?" Jiang Zhiyuan asked him, puzzled. Mu Yichen gave him a faint look, helplessly lighting the cigarette, the lighter’s flame nearly extinguished twice by the cold wind, but finally, he lit the cigarette hanging from his lips. "Do you remember what I once said? About Jing Qing!" Mu Yichen took a drag and asked Jiang Zhiyuan, who furrowed his brows unconsciously at his longtime friend’s expression, "What are you thinking? That event was so long ago!" "If she were still dead, then yes, that matter would be over. But she’s alive now and showed up in front of those elders on a night . Do you think her being alive can still be kept secret?" "Investigate the Zhen Family, since the Jing Family is hard to touch." "Are you sure you want to do this? Since Jing Qing already has someone else she cares about, why not just give her a way out? She’s from our city and grew up with us." "Those who grew up with her don’t include me, you know I’ve always been in Paris!" Mu Yichen frowned and took another fierce drag from his cigarette, the silver smoke billowing out and getting swept away by the wind. Jiang Zhiyuan stood crosswise, hands in pockets, looking down at his feet in worry. "Jing Feng just mentioned that to you, did he guess what you’re going to do?" Jiang Zhiyuan looked up at him and asked. "It’s unfortunate, everyone knows everything yet still holds on to wishful thinking!" In this merciless night, Mu Yichen’s voice sounded equally merciless. "Looks like your feud with the Jing Family is set in stone!" Jiang Zhiyuan sighed helplessly; they were all once siblings, but now... "Maybe the old man was the one who called Jing Qing back because you and Xiaomu got separated. Why not bring Xiaomu back to avoid those old guys constantly trying to throw women into your arms?" "I can’t go over there right now! But this matter must be dealt with!" "You just go and get all the details about the Zhen Family, other matters aren’t suitable for you to handle!" Jiang Zhiyuan almost thought Mu Yichen was ruthless until he understood Mu Yichen was considering things for him by saying that. Jiang Zhiyuan indeed had things that weren’t suitable for him to handle; if the old man of the Jing Family knew he was conspiring with Mu Yichen against the Zhen Family, he’d probably faint in anger. "And now..."
