Although Si Yu might have some complaints about his own father, at least his father doesn't know that Si Yu is his biological son, so there is a valid reason behind it. If Si Yu were to recognize his ancestors and return to his family name in the future, Meng Jin really hopes that the grandfather and grandson could be happy together. "Xiao Jin, it's him who hurt Yanzhi," Mr. Meng glared at Meng Jin and said: "You may not like Yanzhi, but after all, he is your adopted son." Si Yu is my biological son. Meng Jin mumbled in his heart, but didn't dare to say more. He corrected: "Dad, no one has harmed Yanzhi, he lost his way on his own." "You may leave," Mr. Meng said in a huff, closing his eyes to dismiss Meng Jin. "Dad, everyone makes mistakes, but as long as they can change, that's good," Meng Jin looked at Mr. Meng's implacable demeanor, worried. Even with the blood relationship, could his real father ever come to like Mo Siyu considering the love he holds for Meng Yanzhi? Meng Jin didn't know. As he left the hospital room, his good mood gradually sank. When he returned to Jianan Prefecture, the lamps were already lit. Mo Xiaolin was cooking in the kitchen wearing an apron. Hearing footsteps, she walked out with dishes. Under the dim light, Mo Xiaolin's face was gentle, her smile brimming, "You're back? Just in time for washing up and having dinner." "Today I made your favorite, steamed eggplants." Mo Xiaolin's voice was gentle and pleasant, making one feel as if bathed in the spring breeze. Looking at her smile and listening to her voice seemed to make all the discomfort disappear. In the blink of an eye, June was drawing near. Tang Yue was silently counting the days; it had been half a month since she last saw Mo Siyu. At the marital house, with Mo Xiaolin in charge and the renovation workers already decided upon, Tang Yue didn't need to worry too much. Xingyao Clothing Factory was set up, the machinery had been installed and they were currently in the recruitment stage, while the advertisements had yet to be finished. Today was the day of the music festival. Tang Yue sat in front of the TV early, while Qin Anyu had also postponed many things to accompany Tang Yue in watching TV. If Xie Ni received praise at the music festival, the endorsement contract would be as good as nailed down. Had Xie Ni changed her makeup as Tang Yue suggested? Tang Yue was eager, missing the Internet of the future dearly. In the future era, there would already be a live broadcast, if not a sneak peek of the styling on social media even earlier, or at least a preview of the red carpet, instead of having to watch the music festival directly like now. Tang Yue saw many familiar singers, but she wasn't much interested, only wondering when would Xie Ni appear. Finally, during the award ceremony, Tang Yue saw Xie Ni. Xie Ni was wearing that black mermaid dress, and even had her hair styled in large waves and subtly dyed, as per Tang Yue's advice. Her makeup was mature and coldly glamorous. When receiving the award on stage, Xie Ni looked like a noble queen, perfectly embodying the image of a mature woman. "Sister Xiao Yue, Xie Ni actually looks really good in that dress," Qin Anyu exclaimed repeatedly. She had seen the dress before, but on stage, with the light shining on Xie Ni, her black dress was like the dark night sky, with sparkling little stars that emitted dazzling light as she moved. Beautiful, extremely beautiful, too beautiful. Qin Anyu excitedly grabbed Tang Yue's hand, not knowing what to say. "It is quite suitable," Bai Qing, who was eating, also couldn't help but praise. Ever since she came here, all of Bai Qing's clothes were made by Tang Yue, which were convenient for sports and looked nice, very much suiting her style. She particularly liked them. Bai Qing actually hated shopping; the clothes were ugly, or they might look nice but were impractical. If it weren't for the need to buy new ones because the old were worn out, Bai Qing probably wouldn't even think of going clothes shopping. But now Bai Qing was different. Whenever she saw Tang Yue free, she always wanted to ask her to make a few outfits, but every time she decided to speak up, Tang Yue had already made them. Every month, Tang Yue takes time to hand-make clothes for her family. Especially now that Peng Yufei, Xin Jiaren, and Sun Qing have joined them, Tang Yue's efficiency has greatly improved, allowing her to spend even more time making clothes for everyone. "Xiao Yue, you think they will definitely come to sign the contract, right?" Tang Yue answered without hesitation. The next day, the newspapers were full of praise for Xie Ni, and she once again visited the studio in the alley. This time, Tang Yue took out the contract that had been prepared in advance and immediately set the date for the photo shoot. The south had already entered summer, and this batch of advertisements needed to be produced in the shortest time possible. The clothing designs were already being made to Xie Ni's measurements. Meanwhile, Qin Anyu was contacting people who could shoot the advertisement. Tang Yue had the creative concept for the clothing advertisement in mind for some time now and was also preparing to print some magazines. There aren't many fashion magazines, but they do exist. Once people see how nice the clothes look on Xie Ni and realize that a portion of the population can afford them, everyone will surely want to buy a piece for themselves. Time passed amid the urgency and busyness. On Jinyang Street, the renovation of Red Bean Restaurant was proceeding in an orderly fashion. Tang Yue merely mentioned to Lian Qingyang about incorporating Chinese elements and making it look high-end, classy, and unique, then she didn't intervene any further. These days, Lian Qingyang and Bai Qing were both busy with the renovation of Red Bean Restaurant and finding the head chef, which took a lot of effort. There were several candidates for the head chef, but they were either doing well in other restaurants or running their own businesses. Lian Qingyang and Bai Qing were worried—Bai Qing even thought about kidnapping someone. Content originally comes from novel-fire.ɴet Lian Qingyang's mouth twitched as he said, "Bai Qing, do you have a brain? We live in a society governed by law." "You're the brainy one, so you go hire them," Bai Qing retorted, crossing his legs and sitting down beside him. Lian Qingyang's dark eyes darted around as he said, "After thinking it over, I still need to ask Sister Xiao Yue." According to Lian Qingyang's method, kidnapping was indeed the more convenient option. When Tang Yue heard this, she gave them both a stern look and said, "Sister Qing, Qingyang, you two really hit it off, huh? If you can't find a head chef for now, you can try poaching someone." "What if they don't even bother with you? How do you poach then?" Lian Qingyang rolled his eyes; he had tried that method before. "How did you approach them?" Tang Yue asked in return. Lian Qingyang stammered, "I just told them I was opening a new restaurant and asked them to be the head chef. But who knew? Before I could even finish, I had only just mentioned the restaurant's name, and they already refused." "A new restaurant... It's only right for them to refuse," Tang Yue couldn't help but say.
