"It’s nothing." Lian Qingqing shook her head to indicate there was nothing wrong, but the worry in her brows looked like it was far from nothing. Shen Yunfei kept pressing for an answer until Lian Qingqing finally sighed and said, "In the past, the relationship between Qingyang and me wasn’t that great, but at least it wasn’t like it is now, with us at each other’s throats even in front of others." "Could someone be instigating this behind the scenes?" Shen Yunfei said uncertainly. Indeed, previously the relationship between the siblings Lian Qingqing and Lian Qingyang, as Lian Qingqing mentioned, did make Shen Yunfei focus his attention on Tang Yue. Over the past few months, Shen Yunfei’s impression of Tang Yue was ambivalent—sometimes he thought well of her, at other times not so much. When Tang Yue rejected him, it was over just a meal, but she turned him down without sparing any feelings and left no room for face. Before when he fainted in the hallway, it was Tang Yue and Wu Xin who sent him to the hospital. He owed them for that kindness. That’s why Shen Yunfei was unsure how to evaluate Tang Yue. Her appearance was undeniably beautiful; being termed ’Eastern Beauty’ at school, her looks were pleasing to the eye even if they were not his type. "I don’t know." Lian Qingqing shook her head. She asked, "What do you think of Tang Yue? What kind of person is she?" Shen Yunfei paused and then said, "Her heart seems kind, but when she refuses people, she leaves no room for face. In my opinion, a woman should be gentle and charming like Qingqing. That’s what gives a woman her charm. Unlike her, who doesn’t know how to spare others’ feelings." Giggling, Lian Qingqing covered her mouth, her laughter tinkling like bells. Her eyes also shimmered with laughter as she said, "My dad likes her a lot. After so many years of not knowing of her existence, he suddenly acknowledged her and is intent on making it up to her." "However, I think what Dad is doing is the right thing. The past incident is so long ago, right and wrong aren’t clear, and now that she’s been found, Dad’s actions make me happy. He truly is the best dad." Lian Qingqing wore a look of pride. Shen Yunfei asked, "How is your uncle trying to compensate her?" She only found out that there was a daughter overseas and didn’t look into the details, as it wasn’t easy to get information abroad. "Of course, he would love to compensate her with the entire Lian family if he could," Lian Qingqing said with a laugh. Shen Yunfei looked at Lian Qingqing in shock. Smiling, Lian Qingqing said, "You’re overthinking it. The entire Lian Family will be inherited by Qingyang in the future. How could it be compensated to a daughter?" "It’s mostly about sending gifts. There’s a property in Jiang City that Dad named after them and gave it to her." "Also, there’s Huayue Forest Park in Wangjiang County, named after Tang Yue and her mother. Our family business has also expanded to Wangjiang County." As Lian Qingqing listed all the things her father Lian He did for Tang Yue, she originally thought nothing of it, but as she spoke, she started to feel a bit suffocated. From childhood, Lian He pampered her, it’s true, but he never made such thoughtful gestures for her. Shen Yunfei also sensed Lian He’s favoritism and consoled her, "Qingqing, your uncle has always treated you the best. You have always been the little princess of the Lian family, and that won’t change. Your uncle is probably just trying to make it up to her." "Sure, I know." Lian Qingqing raised a smile, her gaze falling on Shen Yunfei. She asked, "How about you? How have you been doing recently? My maternal uncle knew I was coming and brought quite a few things for you." Lian Qingqing handed him the items, the most important being a passbook. She said, "My maternal uncle knows that you don’t have much money, so this is a gift from him." "Truly my own father," Shen Yunfei said, gazing at the numbers on the passbook and beaming with joy. He grumbled with annoyance at the wound on his face, "Lian Qingyang sure didn’t hold back." At D Jewelers, an international large company and the one that Lian Qingqing had previously competed with in jewelry design, whose headquarters are in Country F. Lian Qingqing came to Country F this time with two purposes: first to see Tang Yue and second, naturally to establish a connection with D Jewelers. Lian’s Jewelry had a good reputation domestically, but internationally, they were virtually unknown. Blue Restaurant, a very distinctive and famous restaurant in Country F, was lavishly decorated inside, giving a very understated luxury vibe upon entering. "Tang, the foie gras and cod here are excellent, and the lobster is good, too," Lucy said, bringing Tang Yue to eat here for the first time. She had wanted to come before but always missed the opportunity. This time, Lucy was determined to accompany Tang Yue for a good meal. "Lucy, let’s pick a few dishes..." and that’ll do. Before she could finish, Lian Qingqing and a man approached. When Lian Qingqing saw Tang Yue, she seemed surprised for a moment, then her surprise disappeared, and she put on a sweet smile and introduced in English to the man beside her, "Nigel, this is Tang Yue, my... sister." Lian Qingqing paused for a moment in the middle. "Tang Yue, this is the Marketing Director of D Jewelers, Mr. Nigel," Lian Qingqing continued, a hint of pride in her eyes at the mention of D Jewelers. As a globally renowned jewelry company, if D Jewelers could collaborate with Lian’s Jewelry, it would surely benefit Lian’s Jewelry in Huaxia. Lian Qingqing, who had gone to great lengths to participate in a jewelry design competition, indeed had this in mind, and now she had indeed caught the line with Nigel. "Hello," said Tang Yue, standing up and greeting simply, not attempting to curry favor despite the man’s connection to D Jewelers. Lucy didn’t even bother to stand up. Seeing the attitude of Tang Yue and Lucy, Lian Qingqing furrowed her brows and said, "Tang Yue, you can’t be unaware of D Jewelers? It doesn’t matter if you don’t know, but Mr. Nigel is very famous in the industry." Nigel remained silent, his gaze fixed on Tang Yue. She and Lian Qingqing were entirely different types; if Lian Qingqing was bold and fiery, then Tang Yue was a porcelain doll from the East, pure and beautiful. "You’re in fashion, and fashion and jewelry actually complement each other." As soon as Lian Qingqing said this, Nigel picked up the conversation, "If the beautiful Miss Tang would like to buy jewelry or seek cooperation, we can have a good talk." "There’s no need, D Jewelers is beyond our reach," Tang Yue rejected immediately. She didn’t like Nigel’s gaze; it made her feel as if her clothes were being stripped off.
