Lian He looked somewhat dejected as he said, "Xiao Yue, as long as you like it." This meal was rather awkward, with Tang Yue burying her head in her food. Lian Qingyang kept talking, trying to lighten the mood. Lian He wanted to talk to Tang Yue, but couldn't find a suitable topic. "Dad, don't you have investments in Wangjiang County?" Lian Qingyang hinted to Lian He with his eyes. It was not easy to coax Tang Yue out for this meal, if they couldn't foster a good relationship, it would be troublesome the next time they wanted to eat together. "Yes," said Lian He, without any hint of boasting, speaking as if he were talking to a friend, but with a careful tone of appeasement that made Tang Yue feel uncomfortable. If Lian He had appeared in her past life, she definitely would have been very happy. If it were her from her past life, would Lian He still cherish her as his daughter like he does now? Tang Yue thought of many things, and then Lian He's voice rang out again: "Xianghe Jewelry has a lot of styles that would suit you. If you see anything you like, feel free to pick it out at the store, I've already spoken to the people there." When Tang Yue heard this name, it sounded very familiar, but she couldn't remember exactly what it was connected to. Seeing that Tang Yue was silent, Lian He went on to talk more. The Lian Family had investments in Wangjiang County, not just in jewelry, but also in real estate. "Also, five kilometers into the mountains of Wangjiang County, the forest is well-preserved. We plan to build a Huayue Forest Park there. By then, Wangjiang County will probably be quite different from before," Lian He continued, "When that happens, there will likely be a lot more people coming to Wangjiang County. Your mother has a restaurant there in a great location, and I believe the business will only get better and better." "Huayue Forest Park?" Tang Yue mumbled the name to herself. In her past life, Wangjiang County also had a forest park, but it wasn't called 'Huayue'; it was called 'Wanghua' Forest Park. Wanghua, combining the 'Hua' from Wangjiang County and Zhang Hualian? The thought made Tang Yue's heart skip a beat. "Yes, it's named after your mother and you. I thought about it a lot, and none sounded better than Huayue," seeing her pleased, Lian He was encouraged, his face broke into a bigger smile, "Xiao Yue, I know it's a bit late to say all this, but back then..." Newest update provided by N()velFire.net Lian He paused, then said, "You can call me useless or scold me. It was my fault back then for not returning to find your mother and for not knowing about your existence. But now, please give me a chance to make amends." "I'm not a good father, and maybe me appearing now is too late, almost unnecessary, but I really want to fulfill a father's duty." Lian He's regret was clear in his eyes as he sincerely added, "You can be angry at me, scold me, you may not forgive me, but please give me a chance to make it up." "I…" Tang Yue's mind was a mess, she suddenly stood up and said, "Lian..." Seeing Lian He's paternal and remorseful appearance, Tang Yue's heart softened, she said softly, "Actually, you don't have to do this; you have Qingyang and others, you are already very happy." "No, I can't just let go knowing that you are my daughter," Lian He said earnestly. Tang Yue turned around and said, "Mr. Lian, I wish you a safe journey tomorrow." With that, Tang Yue left with brisk steps. Lian Qingyang clapped his hands and said, "Dad, that's progress, Sister Xiao Yue's heart has softened." "Hmm." Lian He nodded, his son was right. If he took on a fatherly demeanor and tried to compensate with money, Xiao Yue would definitely not like it. But if he lowered his stance, not holding himself so high above and not measuring everything by money, Xiao Yue would indeed soften. Lian Qingyang and Lian He were pleased, but Tang Yue didn't know. After coming out from there, Tang Yue felt something was off all the way home. Xianghe Jewelry, Huayue Forest Park. Did she miss something? Could it be that Lian He had already come to look for them in his past life but didn't find them, or someone intentionally hid it? The more Tang Yue thought about it, the more stifled she felt inside. Lying in bed at night, Tang Yue still felt uneasy, as if she had missed something significant. For several days, Tang Yue couldn't eat or sleep well. Qin Anyu thought something had happened to Tang Yue and asked, "Xiao Yue, what's wrong with you? Did you have a fight with Mo Siyu?" When Mo Siyu returned last time, Tang Yue was fine. It hadn't been long since then. Could they have had a fight? That seemed impossible. Mo Siyu was a wife-pampering fanatic. In his heart, Xiao Yue was the most important. How could he fight with Xiao Yue? Even if Xiao Yue wanted to argue, she probably wouldn't even start. "It's nothing, I just feel like I forgot something important." Tang Yue replied weakly. "Star Bright has done everything that needed to be done," said Qin Anyu, then added, "Mingyue Branch Factory, isn't it well built? I saw it last time. You even told your uncle the branch is doing well and it can start operating in two months." "Yes." Tang Yue replied. Qin Anyu then said, "Could it be someone's birthday in your family during this time?" Tang Yue thought about it and shook her head: "No." "Then is there something else going on with your family? Your brother isn't applying for college." Following Qin Anyu's line of thought, Tang Yue began to think. Her parents' Zhenghua Restaurant was doing better and better, just as Lian He had said because of the investment he brought in and the plan to build the forest park, a lot of people were investing in Wangjiang County. Tang Zhengde's dishes were delicious, affordable, and clean, and not of the lower-end variety, so the restaurant was especially popular. Yesterday, Zhang Hualian even called to happily report that the business was good and asked whether she needed any money for expenses. Tang Jun was also doing well in his studies. Although he was only in Senior High School, his grades were particularly good, and it was said that Tang Jun must aim for a military college. Her grandmother was also in good health, and the family of Uncle Zhang Huafeng, who had started earning well, had changed a lot. Granny Tang was also having a good time at home, watching her great-grandson grow up; everything seemed fine, nothing was missing. After thinking for a while and not understanding anything, Tang Yue began to ponder how the Siheyuan should be refurbished to look nice. "My parents' room, Xiao Jun's room, and Aunt Mo's room." As Tang Yue thought, she suddenly remembered Mo Xiaolin, it was as if a bolt of lightning had flashed through her mind. Xianghe Jewelry, Wanghua Forest Park, Mo Xiaolin, how could she have forgotten about this!
