At first glance, she still looked quite fashionable, standing out notably in the crowd, her clothes fitting her well. But upon closer inspection, the clothes were ill-suited for Xu Zhenzhen; they made her look too mature, appearing to be around twenty-six or twenty-seven years old while she was only twenty. Even with makeup on, she couldn’t conceal a certain world-weariness. "Long time no see, aren’t you going to introduce?" Xu Zhenzhen came forward in high heels, acting familiar, her gaze falling on Meng Siyu with a flash of astonishment and envy in her eyes. Why should she, Xu Zhenzhen, be trampled in the mud, while Tang Yue became the high cloud? Even the man beside her, not to mention whether he was rich or not, simply his physique and appearance were far better than those ugly and fat bosses she dealt with. His clothes were not very thick, his tall figure looked sturdy, it made one wonder if he was as good in bed as his outer appearance suggested... Xu Zhenzhen’s thoughts inadvertently drifted far. "My husband." Tang Yue briefly introduced, her eyes cold and detached, all that was in the past, already distant memories. Seeing Xu Zhenzhen now, plus the vague words she had heard from Zhang Hualian, Tang Yue understood very well the life Xu Zhenzhen was living now, selling herself for money. However, it had nothing to do with her anymore. There would be no intersection between them any longer. "Tang Yue, we were once best friends after all. It’s been a few years, let me treat you to a meal." Xu Zhenzhen stepped forward, lifting her curly hair in what she considered a charming gesture, her gaze falling on Meng Siyu and said: "I’m quite surprised that you got married so early." "Hello, I’m Xu Zhenzhen, Tang Yue’s best friend from before." Xu Zhenzhen extended her hand, displaying what she thought was her most beautiful smile. Meng Siyu didn’t even spare her a glance, affectionately taking Tang Yue’s hand and asking, "Wife, is she your friend?" The smile on Xu Zhenzhen’s face froze, she always considered herself pretty, and over the years, among those bosses, with such a smile, which boss wouldn’t look at her lustfully? "Before, yes." Tang Yue answered indifferently, her gaze meeting Meng Siyu, she had a feeling that Xu Zhenzhen would get angry soon. "Since she was in the past, then she isn’t now, and there’s no need to acknowledge her." Meng Siyu chimed in and pulled Tang Yue away, ignoring Xu Zhenzhen’s performance, disregarding her completely. "Tang Yue!" Xu Zhenzhen stomped her foot angrily, striding forward, trying to catch up. Meng Siyu ordered sternly, his cold gaze fell on Xu Zhenzhen, his aura overpowering, even just a look from him sent chills throughout her body. Meng Siyu said no more, but his icy gaze was full of warning. Xu Zhenzhen didn’t dare meet his eyes, her steps faltering, as if moving any closer would have the man in front devour her alive. Until Meng Siyu and Tang Yue had left, Xu Zhenzhen shivered, muttering, "Didn’t they say she married a driver? How could a driver be... so impressive?" Xu Zhenzhen continued to watch the direction they left in, stomping her foot hard, her eyes filled with intense jealousy. "Wife, keep your distance from her," Meng Siyu spoke seriously to Tang Yue. "Why?" Tang Yue asked back. Meng Siyu said, "I don’t know what grudges you and she had before, but ignoring her is the best counterattack. There’s jealousy and discontent in her eyes." Ignoring her is the best counterattack. Tang Yue muttered to herself inwardly, thinking about how Meng Siyu didn’t even spare Xu Zhenzhen a glance just now, she suddenly understood and looked up to say, "Thank you." Meng Siyu leaned in and whispered in her ear, "I prefer more practical approaches." Tang Yue looked up blankly, meeting Meng Siyu’s deep gaze, and instantly understood. The gratitude in her heart disappeared in an instant, this man really was...

With the New Year approaching, the two uncles mobilized their whole family, even Mo Xiaoyu came back from Sea City with Xie Tiantian. Tang Yue quietly asked how Mo Xiaoyu and Leng Hua were getting along. Mo Xiaoyu’s face turned red, but she quickly changed the subject. Tang Yue felt somewhat reassured, it seemed the two were getting along well. This year, whether it was for the Meng Family, Mo Family, or Tang Family, was a year of reunion. On the 29th of the lunar month, Meng Jin and Mo Xiaolin returned to Jing City, as it wouldn’t be right to leave Mr. Meng alone in Jing City during the New Year. Meng Jin initially wanted Meng Siyu and Tang Yue to come to Jing City too, but after the New Year, Meng Siyu still needed to accompany Tang Yue visiting relatives, and moreover, even if they returned to Jing City for the festival, they had to visit Wangjiang County after the New Year due to Meng Siyu’s tight schedule, so it would be the same to return to Jing City after finishing all visits in Wangjiang County. Mr. Meng, longing day and night to have his grandchildren and their spouses over for New Year, showed a clear disappointment on his face when he saw only Meng Jin and Mo Xiaolin arriving. Meng Jin explained the reason, and Mr. Meng understood. Originally, Meng Siyu was unhappy with him because of Meng Yanzhi’s issue; having acknowledged the Meng Family again was all thanks to his son and daughter-in-law. Meng Jin said they would come after the New Year, so Mr. Meng would just look forward to that. Such thoughts made Mr. Meng instantly happy. On the 30th of the lunar month, the family bought lots of fireworks. After dinner, Tang You’an clamored to watch the fireworks. Since both Tang Zhengde and Tang Mingli had new houses, and Granny Tang also had a new house, they decided to rotate which house to celebrate the New Year in. This year, it was in Tang Zhengde’s house, where the whole family gathered, making it a lively scene in the new house. The brilliant fireworks ascended into the sky and lit up the whole night sky, dazzlingly beautiful. Meng Siyu held her hand, fingers tightly interlinked. The light from the fireworks reflected on her face, her beautiful eyes sparkling, shining brightly. The intermittently bright and dim face added a hint of ethereal beauty. Under the spectacular starry sky, Meng Siyu held her hand tightly, slowly placing it on his left chest, looking into her eyes and said, "Wife, to hold your hand and grow old with you." "To hold your hand and grow old with you," Tang Yue repeated word by word, their eyes locked together, the gazes intertwined with an added touch of lingering fondness. After the New Year, the visitation during the first month also kept Tang Yue and Meng Siyu busy. Whether at Uncle Mo’s, Tang Family’s, or Zhang Family’s, until around the sixth day of the first lunar month, the couple finally set off to return to Jing City.
