"Shen Yunfei." Tang Yue’s cold voice called out his full name, her bright eyes burning as she looked at Shen Yunfei and said, "When did I ever act recklessly just because my uncle has my back? Besides, whether I have a cooperation with Kaya Jewelry or not, it doesn’t seem to concern you, does it?" "And another thing. My surname is Tang. If there is any loss of face, it’s a disgrace to the Tang Family, not related to the Lian Family." Tang Yue said coldly as she turned and walked into the room, not wanting to say another word to either Lian Qingqing or Shen Yunfei. "Tang Yue, although you don’t carry the Lian surname, the Lian Family has acknowledged you. Whatever you do is naturally related to the Lian Family. I know you have some grievances against me, but you can’t just because of this..." Lian Qingqing spoke to the closed door. Shen Yunfei, infuriated by Tang Yue, said, "Qingqing, why do you even bother talking to her? Like she said, the only person who could be embarrassed is herself. Anyway, she was raised outside the family. Even if she really loses face, it won’t impact the Lian Family." "That’s not right. She’s my sister; how could I just abandon her?" Lian Qingqing spoke earnestly, her demeanor one of genuine concern for Tang Yue. Lian Qingqing took a step forward and knocked on the door, saying, "Tang Yue, we have to solve this issue. Although I’ve been in Country Y all this time, I also know many classmates. Let’s think of a way. Maybe we can really get a connection with Kaya Jewelry." Inside the room, Tang Yue was silent. Was Lian Qingqing really trying to show how noble and great she was? Shen Yunfei was already impatient, pulling Lian Qingqing away and saying, "Qingqing, if she doesn’t appreciate what’s good for her, don’t waste your breath." "No, she is my father’s daughter, she..." Before Lian Qingqing could finish, Shen Yunfei pulled her away, saying, "Qingqing, you’re just too kind-hearted." Their voices grew fainter and eventually disappeared. Only then did Tang Yue move from the side to sit down on the sofa. Wu Xin, without a word, made a cup of coffee and handed it over, knowing that Tang Yue was not in a good mood. Wu Xin wasn’t good at comforting people, so he chose to remain silent, like an invisible man. When Lian Qingyang returned home, Tang Yue was sipping her coffee with a notebook beside her. However, what she had drawn was far from her usual style... it was so bad it was embarrassing. "Sister Xiao Yue, what’s wrong? Are you in a bad mood?" Lian Qingyang scrutinized Tang Yue, his voice involuntarily softening. He had gone out today to look for IT talents, and after only half a day, how had things turned out this way when he came back? "You’re back." Tang Yue responded with a faint smile and a pursed lip, looking at her abysmal drawing, she tore the paper, crumpled it into a ball, and tossed it into the trash can. "What happened today?" Lian Qingyang asked, observing her expression. A thought struck him, and he asked, "Is it related to Lian Qingqing?" "How could you guess her?" Tang Yue’s eyes flickered, unsure of how to broach today’s events. Anyone with clear eyes could see, was Lian Qingqing really trying to do good by her, or just wanting to see her made a fool of? Introducing Nigel was probably just a way to show off. If it weren’t for the incident with Lucy that followed, Lian Qingqing might not have seized on the fact that she lied. Waving the flag of her goodwill, yet branding her with the sin of being a chronic liar. Thɪs chapter is updated by 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵•𝑓𝑖𝑟𝑒•𝙣𝙚𝙩 In all seriousness, Tang Yue wasn’t angry because of Lian Qingqing; she just felt indignant for her biological mother, Zhang Hualian. It was for a woman like Xiang Yazhi that Lian He gave up on Zhang Hualian. Regardless of his reasons, in the end, Lian He still abandoned Zhang Hualian, and this was something Tang Yue never forgot. Unwillingly, she closed her eyes, remembering the death of Zhang Hualian in her past life; something in her heart felt blocked up, causing her much distress. "Sister Xiao Yue, I also know what Lian Qingqing is truly like. She’s best at playing the good person in front of others, but deep down..." Lian Qingyang paused. Tang Yue was somewhat surprised as she opened her eyes, and looking at the gradually maturing face of Lian Qingyang, she couldn’t help but say, "Qingyang, you and Lian Qingqing are twins, you’re supposed to be the closest, why is your relationship with her so tense?" "Sister Xiao Yue, there are many things that I don’t even know where to start," Lian Qingyang said in a low voice when talking about Lian Qingqing. From childhood, he carried all the black pots for Lian Qingqing, none of that was an issue, because he only had this one sister. Later on, because of Gao Wang’s incident, Lian Qingyang became much more distant from Lian Qingqing. But what really made Lian Qingyang dislike and even be somewhat wary of Lian Qingqing was because of an incident in their senior year of high school, which involved a human life! Even after so much time had passed, Lian Qingyang still couldn’t forget it. "Qingyang, can you, talk to me about it?" Tang Yue asked. Lian Qingyang shook his head and said, "Sister Xiao Yue, there are some things that it’s better for you not to know." Tang Yue closed her mouth and stopped talking; she was a bit tired, so she went inside the house to rest. Lian Qingyang learned the ins and outs of the whole matter from Wu Xin and was furious. He said, "Sister Xiao Yue, I’m going to look for someone, to see if there’s anyone who can connect us with Kaya Jewelry." Tang Yue was just getting ready to rest for a while, and before she could even stop him, Lian Qingyang had already left. Next door, at Shen Yunfei’s house. After a brief rest, Lian Qingqing saw that the evening was approaching, and figuring it was early morning in her home country, she immediately called the Lian Family. Old Sir Lian loved practicing Tai Chi; from six to seven o’clock in the morning, he was always in the garden practicing Tai Chi and exercising his body. Lian He would be reading the newspaper at this time, and when Lian Qingqing made the call, it was indeed Lian He who answered. "Father, good morning," Lian Qingqing’s sweet voice came through the phone. Lian He was a bit surprised and said, "Qingqing, calling so early in the morning, is there something going on?" Lian Qingqing would call on other days as well, but never this early. "Father, I just missed you," Lian Qingqing said playfully, her laughter transmitting through the phone and infecting Lian He. Lian Qingqing continued, "Dad, I’m in F country now, and I’ve met Qingyang and Xiao Yue. You don’t know yet, right? Cousin Shen Yunfei happens to be Xiao Yue’s neighbor. It really is fate." "It is fate." Lian He couldn’t help but be moved. When he bought that house, he didn’t know Shen Yunfei lived there. He only knew Shen Yunfei was in F country, but not at which school. It was unexpected that they would be at the same school as Tang Yue, and that their apartments were on the same floor. What else could it be if not fate? Lian Qingqing cheerfully updated him on her recent situation and also mentioned they had eaten together. Lian He was very happy, a smile spread across his face, "The three of you siblings being able to dine together, that scene must have been very beautiful."
