Lian He, along with Lian Qingyang, began to ask around the Hutongs for a house. The area was full of long-time residents, with none willing to sell their homes. Lian He approached the nearest couple who had lived there all their lives, obviously not willing to leave.
Money, when one is willing to buy a house, makes it easy, especially when Lian He is willing to pay the right price. After visiting three families, Lian He managed to buy a small courtyard house.
"Dad, you’re really awesome." Lian Qingyang gave Lian He a thumbs-up; although it cost three times more to buy, it was close to Sister Xiao Yue’s home and, besides, the courtyard was spacious. After a bit of renovation, it would definitely be great.
"The renovation is up to you." Lian He handed the keys to Lian Qingyang. There was still a lot to take care of back in Sea City; even if he wanted to stay in Jing City longer, it was not possible.
This time, coming out in such a hurry, once he prepares next time, he would be able to stay in Jing City for much longer.
"Dad, don’t worry, I guarantee you’ll be satisfied," said Lian Qingyang cheerfully. When they got home, the father and son tacitly did not mention the house.
Xiang Yazhi complained, but Lian He was in a good mood and did not say a word. He said, "I’m returning to Sea City tomorrow, what about you?"
"Of course, I’m going back." Xiang Yazhi had been a bit depressed before, but now her spirits lifted instantly.
Xiang Yazhi thought that Lian He would stay in Jing City for a long time.
Who would have thought that Lian He would leave after just one day?
"Then I’ll have someone book the ticket," said Lian He. He immediately instructed someone to book the ticket.
Xiang Yazhi was very happy, secretly asking Lian Qingyang, "Qingyang, your dad finally sees things clearly."
"Sees what clearly?" Lian Qingyang was puzzled.
"Tang Yue, what right does she have to compete with you?" Xiang Yazhi did not even want to mention her name.
Lian Qingyang said quietly, "Mom, she’s also Dad’s daughter. Everything that belongs to Dad should include her share."
’Smack’
Xiang Yazhi smacked him on the head and said, "Are you still my son?"
"Mom, what did I say wrong?" Lian Qingyang rubbed his forehead, counterarguing, "Mom, Sister Xiao Yue is Dad’s daughter. Whether she’s born by you or not, she’s still Dad’s daughter."
"You..." Hearing his words, Xiang Yazhi’s mood darkened instantly, her face turned gloomy, "Lian Qingyang, she’s just an illegitimate daughter, without a name or status, why should she compete for what you deserve?"
"Mom, if it wasn’t for your marriage to Dad, how would Sister Xiao Yue be an illegitimate child?" Although Lian Qingyang didn’t know the specifics of the past, it was a fact that Sister Xiao Yue was older than him, which meant that Sister Xiao Yue’s mother knew Dad first.
Smack.
Xiang Yazhi couldn’t help but slap him. Her eyes turned red as she said, "Lian Qingyang, what do you mean by that?"
"Mom, don’t cry. I just meant..." As soon as Lian Qingyang saw Xiang Yazhi crying, he got worried. He quickly tried to comfort her, not daring to say another word.

In the hospital room.
Tang Yue was holding a book, reading, while Mo Siyu watched her. Usually inseparable from his books, now he was instead accompanying Tang Yue, spending most of his time watching her.
"Mo Siyu, are you reading or watching me?" Tang Yue couldn’t concentrate on her book under his gaze.
"Both." Mo Siyu looked at her affectionately, took the book from her hands, and said, "You were on the train all night yesterday, you must be tired. Better go to sleep early."
