This isn't drinking, it's not even how you drink plain water. "I heard there was news about him, so I went all the way to Jin City, and then I heard he was in Jing City, so I came here. All these years, I have been running around, but what about him…" Lian Tong didn't know if she was really drunk or pretending, constantly cursing Gu Chun. From initially cursing him for avoiding her to finally calling him a bastard. It must be said, the fighting spirit of a drunken Aunt Lian was formidable; Tang Yue couldn't calm her down. No other way, Tang Yue said, "I have met Gu Chun." "What?" Lian Tong's blurry eyes suddenly sobered up, she grabbed Tang Yue's hand and asked, "Xiao Yue, when did you meet him? How did you know it was him? Where did you see him? Quickly tell Auntie?" Lian Tong didn't realize that she was staring anxiously at Tang Yue, gripping her hand so tightly that Tang Yue's brow furrowed in pain. "You're hurting Xiao Yue." Meng Siyu spoke up, compassionately pulling Tang Yue back. Looking at the red marks on Tang Yue's pale wrist, Lian Tong apologized, "I'm sorry, Auntie was too anxious." "Aunt Lian, just awhile ago, we were able to find this place because he told us," Tang Yue replied, understanding Lian Tong's reaction; waiting for someone for so long and then suddenly encountering them naturally provokes a strong reaction. However, after Tang Yue finished, she thought Lian Tong would ask more. Unexpectedly, Lian Tong just silently sat by the table for a long time before asking, "Is his stomach hurt?" "Yes." Tang Yue looked surprised. "It really was him." Lian Tong muttered. "Aunt Lian, did you see him?" Tang Yue looked surprised. "I thought I was just drunk." Lian Tong muttered, "It seems that these years, he has not wanted to see me." Lian Tong took a deep breath, involuntarily closing her eyes; she had chased from Jin City to Jing City, but hadn't even seen a shadow of him. In frustration, Lian Tong ended up eating and drinking at a bar; usually, Lian Tong hardly touched alcohol, but this time, she felt genuinely weary from her heart. Once she started drinking, things got out of hand. Being attractive and drinking alone, there were always men with bad intentions. But just before, when such men bothered her, a tall, skinny man helped her out before anyone could move. Lian Tong was somewhat drunk, she glanced at him, he looked familiar, but before she could take another look, the tall man, holding his stabbed stomach, left. Lian Tong, harassed by the other man, also lost sight of him, and after kicking the man away, she made a call to have someone handle him, then she continued to drink until she was utterly inebriated. Everything that just happened felt like a dream. "Why doesn't he want to see me?" Aunt Lian muttered, holding Tang Yue's arm, falling asleep in her embrace like a child. Tang Yue was taken aback, she just fell asleep like that? "He really is asleep." Meng Siyu stared at the bottles and jars on the ground, thinking to himself that with so much alcohol, beer, and liquor consumed, it would be strange if she wasn't drunk. Finally managing to get Lian Tong back to a guest room at home, Tang Yue took off her shoes and covered her with a thin blanket. The sleeping Lian Tong clutched her hand like a child without a sense of security. Tang Yue had no choice but to place a pillow in her embrace. Lian Tong's cheeks were flushed, and after she fell asleep, she stopped talking and was very quiet. "Si Yu, what exactly has Gu Chun been doing these years?" Tang Yue returned to the room with a heavy heart. Aunt Lian was a good person, especially after hearing about their love story, Tang Yue admired her even more for being able to wait for such a long time without knowing when he would return. "Xiao Yue, don't worry." Meng Siyu kissed her cheek and said, "I have already sent someone to investigate these matters. You don't need to think too much, just go to sleep early." "Mm." Tang Yue, burdened by her thoughts, only realized when she drifted to sleep that Meng Siyu, who had been entangling her for two days, was surprisingly gentle today and didn't touch her? When Lian Tong woke up, she instantly realized this place was neither the hotel she stayed in nor a place she recognized. Rubbing her head after a hangover, she walked out of the room and saw the living room decorated all over with the character 'happiness'. Wherever she looked, there was a sense of joy. Did someone just get married? Thinking so, Lian Tong smelled something savory. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ novᴇlfire.net "Aunt Lian, you're up?" Tang Yue heard a noise and hurried out, seeing Lian Tong looking disheveled. She handed over a set of casual clothes and said, "Aunt Lian, why don't you change and freshen up first?" Lian Tong didn't hesitate, took the clothes and went to wash up. She indeed felt unwashed and uncomfortable all over. After bathing, clean and refreshed, Aunt Lian's stomach growled with hunger. Seeing the egg noodles on the table, she filled her stomach. Then Lian Tong asked, "Xiao Yue, who is he? Who got married here?" Lian Tong hadn't given a thought about it being Tang Yue. Tang Yue felt somewhat guilty, her eyes flickered as she said, "He is Meng Siyu." "I am her husband; this is our bridal suite," Meng Siyu added. Lian Tong's expression changed instantly. She stood up abruptly, looked around the house and then at Meng Siyu, incredulously turning to Tang Yue, "Xiao Yue, you're not deceiving me, right? You just turned twenty, how could you possibly be married already? And I didn't even know?" Tang Yue was guilty; she didn't want the Lian Family to know, but Aunt Lian had treated her well. "Aunt Lian, I... um..." Tang Yue fumbled for words, unable to explain. Meng Siyu said, "Aunt Lian, do you still remember Gu Chun?" "Do you have news about him?" Lian Tong frowned, the events of last night vaguely rising to her mind, causing her pain. "He came here yesterday," Meng Siyu continued, "However, he came injured, probably stumbled in by accident." "Why didn't you stop him yesterday?" Lian Tong, hearing that they had seen Gu Chun yesterday, was eager to meet him. Meng Siyu interrupted her, "He told us where you were and then left." "He left?" Lian Tong thought of the person she had been searching for so many years, feeling a resolute pang in her heart, "No matter where he goes, I will find him." "Meng Siyu, let me tell you, don't think because you mentioned Gu Chun that you can quietly marry the Princess of the Lian Family and get away with it," Lian Tong clenched her teeth, "If you dare to mistreat Xiao Yue, I, Lian Tong, won't let you get away with it." Lian Tong was very protective of Tang Yue. Tang Yue was moved by these words, but then Aunt Lian harshly scolded her, "Xiao Yue, do you still consider me your aunt? Not even telling me about something as big as your marriage?"
