Originally headed straight back to Jing City, but on the way, they were intercepted. "Sister Xiao Yue, Grandpa said that if you don’t visit Sea City, he’s going to come to Jing City to find you." Lian Qingyang was about to grab Tang Yue’s hand when he was stopped by Meng Siyu. Meng Siyu dominantly pulled her into his embrace, not allowing Lian Qingyang any chance to touch her. "Brother-in-law, you’re being too petty. I’m Xiao Yue’s real younger brother!" Lian Qingyang couldn’t help but complain. Before, he was very close to Sister Xiao Yue, but with Meng Siyu, this man who constantly emitted a cold aura, whenever he got close, that gaze was like it could freeze someone to death. "He’s still a guy," Meng Siyu stated matter-of-factly. Tang Yue fell silent. This man really... he gets jealous over everything. She cleared her throat and said, "Qingyang, well, I’ll visit Grandpa, and I have to return to Jing City tomorrow. I still haven’t visited Grandpa Meng and my in-laws yet." "Uh..." Lian Qingyang thought for a moment and then readily agreed. After all, Grandpa only asked for Sister Xiao Yue to come home; he didn’t say she couldn’t leave tomorrow. By the time Tang Yue and Meng Siyu arrived at the Lian Family’s home, it was already evening, and the Lian Family had dinner ready, but they were all waiting for them. "Grandpa, Happy New Year, wishing you good health, fortune as vast as the Eastern seas, and longevity like the evergreen pines of the Southern hills." From Tang Yue’s mouth, auspicious words sprung forth that especially delighted everyone. Upon seeing Tang Yue, Old Sir Lian could not stop smiling. He said, "Girl, if I had longevity like the evergreen pines of the Southern hills, I’d turn into an old demon." "Grandpa is definitely not an old demon. In the future, Grandpa is sure to live a long and healthy life." Tang Yue’s voice was clear and crisp; what were just common congratulatory words seemed exceptionally pleasant coming from her. Old Sir Lian handed over a red envelope he had prepared, saying, "Very good, very good. It would be even better if you could add a great-grandchild to the Lian Family soon." "Grandpa, let’s take it as it comes," Tang Yue said with a somewhat embarrassed smile. Although she did also want children, her studies were not yet finished, and she was about to go to Country F as an exchange student, which really wasn’t a good time. Old Sir Lian couldn’t stop smiling as he looked at Tang Yue and then at Meng Siyu. "You two make such a beautiful couple; the great-grandchild will certainly be gorgeous." "Grandpa, the children of Xiao Yue and I will naturally be the most outstanding," Meng Siyu said as he tightened his grip on Tang Yue’s hand, his mind inevitably fantasizing about how incredibly adorable their children would be. "Well, when will you have them so we can see?" Lian Qingyang asked eagerly. Meng Siyu gave him a sideways glance. Tang Yue cleared her throat and said, "Lian Qingyang, I need to study!" Lian Qingyang touched his nose and said, "That’s right, you’re still a sophomore." "If you do have a child, just give birth. The Lian Family can afford to raise it; the school won’t dare to say a word," Old Sir Lian said seriously. Tang Yue had the urge to hide away. Speaking of Old Sir Lian, even her biological father, Lian He, upon hearing about children, repeatedly reminded Tang Yue that if she becomes pregnant, she should give birth, for abortion can cause great harm to a girl’s body. After staying at the Lian Family’s home for a day, Tang Yue felt very comfortable. The Lian Family was quite wealthy in Sea City, but both Old Sir Lian and Lian He were very gentle and reasonable people. They didn’t put on airs, which made Tang Yue feel very comfortable. The next day when Tang Yue and Meng Siyu left, Old Sir Lian was angry. Even though Tang Yue had brought workout clothes as a gift for the old man, Old Sir Lian was still not happy. In the end, it was only after Tang Yue promised to call him frequently after returning to Jing City that he softened. Especially when he learned that Tang Yue was going to be an exchange student in Country F, Old Sir Lian and Lian He exchanged looks. As soon as she left, they began to discuss buying a house near the school in Country F. Lian Qingyang sat beside them, finding it all very novel. He had always thought that his grandfather only liked him. For the several granddaughters in the family, Old Sir Lian wasn’t very close to them, not even to his own granddaughter Lian Qingqing. In front of Old Sir Lian, she was treated just like the other granddaughters, with no special treatment. Lian Qingyang had always thought that his grandfather favored boys over girls, but it wasn’t until this moment that he realized Old Sir Lian actually favored girls over boys! To think that he even wanted to buy a house to ensure Sister Xiao Yue’s year of study in Country F would be comfortable. He knew that when Lian Qingqing went abroad to study jewelry design, neither the grandfather nor the father agreed, let alone took care of the arrangements for Lian Qingqing. The house in Country Y for Lian Qingqing was all managed by Xiang Yazhi, and Lian He didn’t even provide the money because he disapproved of Lian Qingqing going abroad. Sister Xiao Yue is just charming. Lian Qingyang thought happily, even imagining how nice it would be if he could go to study in Country F too. On the plane to Jing City, Tang Yue and Meng Siyu brought a box full of things, all from Old Sir Lian and Lian He. If it wasn’t for the limitations of flying, they would have brought even more extravagant gifts. Tang Yue was taken aback by the amount of money in the New Year’s money packet she received last night. Both Old Sir Lian and Lian He, like they had made a tacit agreement, each gave US$ 50,000. The two gift packets alone added up to US$ 100,000, and along with other bits and pieces from the uncles, it totaled up to about US$ 150,000. "Si Yu, with this New Year’s visiting, one could really get rich." Tang Yue couldn’t help but sigh. In the past, having one or two dollars in New Year’s money was already a lot, and if there were five dollars, one could be over the moon with joy. But now... Thɪs chapter is updated by 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵✦𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮✦𝓷𝓮𝓽 "The elders from the Lian Family are all very good to you," Meng Siyu said, holding her hand. Other than Xiang Yazhi, who had fallen out of favor, essentially no one in Sea City recognized Xiang Yazhi as Lian He’s wife. If she behaves and keeps a low profile, that would be best. Otherwise... there’s no need for him to act, with Lian He’s temperament, he certainly wouldn’t let Xiao Yue be bullied. Thinking this, Meng Siyu felt completely at ease. Meng Siyu took Tang Yue directly to the Meng Family home, where Old Master Meng had been eagerly awaiting their return. He had previously had a falling out with his grandson Meng Siyu, but now Old Master Meng was doing his best to change. Although Meng Siyu wasn’t very close to him, the fact that he was willing to change his surname to Meng and come to the Meng Family made Old Master Meng very happy. Meng Siyu’s demeanor and the like, Old Master Meng didn’t dare to put on any airs of an elder. When the young couple arrived with gifts, Old Master Meng kept his posture very low, his approachability masked with a hint of ingratiating behavior. The nearly septuagenarian Old Master Meng, with his graying hair and a face lined with wrinkles, shared his careful eagerness to please. Tang Yue didn’t know what Meng Siyu thought, but it reminded her of Old Sir Lian.
