Marriage in crisis

"Bai Wenzhuo fell into the Crocodile Valley! He was fed by the crocodiles!" I looked at Rong Yingluo and said word by word.

When Rong Yingluo heard this, her expression became strange, and she kept showing signs of fear.

So I briefly told her what happened in Mianchuan.

She said in astonishment, "You mean, Meng Yaokun's death is also related to what happened here? But that's not what I saw on the news."

"Can the news be reported truthfully? Especially since Meng Yaokun is a public figure." I whispered to her in a gossipy tone, "People say there is a man behind this, I don't know if it's true or not! Have you heard of a man called 'Old Gentleman'? It is said that this man is related to this incident!"

"...'Old gentleman'? What 'old gentleman'?" Rong Yingluo asked in surprise.

I shook my head. "I don't know! I just heard Uncle Pengcheng talking to Ayu on the phone. He said that things are chaotic over there again. That's why I urged Ayu to come back. It's not peaceful!"

I planted a mine for Rong Yingluo.

"Are you going back to Country M in the near future?" I suddenly asked this question.

"No, I want to stay in Qingcheng for a while!" Rong Yingluo replied absentmindedly.

"That's great! Let's celebrate the New Year together!" I said casually, "Why is Patriarch Rong willing to stay out here for so long this time?"

I seemed to be asking carelessly, but actually I was asking intentionally.

Rong Yingluo seemed to still be immersed in the tragic deaths of Wen Minji and her daughter, and did not respond to me.

Just then, a taxi stopped at the gate. I looked over and saw the third brother pushed open the door and got out of the car.

I quickly waved to him, and he strode in with a smile, and said from a distance with a smile, "It looks like there are guests at home!"

I nodded, and looked at him as he walked in. When he came to us, I said, "I knew you would come back today. Qianqian has packed her things and can't wait to go home!"

The third brother smiled comfortably, nodded to Rong Yingluo and greeted her.

I pointed to where Wei Qingchuan and the old patriarch were, "They are chatting!"

The third brother took a look and nodded, "Since we have guests, I will take them back first! I will come over in the evening and report the work progress in detail to President Rong."

I know that this sentence is meant for Rong Yingluo, an outsider.

But I found that Rong Yingluo didn’t care at all what we said.

I said to Rong Yingluo, "Aunt, let's go back too! I'm going to see Bingqian, they're going back!"

Rong Yingluo gestured to me, "Then go ahead! I'll stroll for a while!"

"Okay!" I said, and then turned around and walked inside with my third brother.

Before I even reached the door, I saw Kang Kang running out quickly, shouting, "Dad..."

This time, the third brother was no longer able to talk to me. He walked straight up to me, picked up Kang Kang, and turned him around. Kang Kang screamed and his laughter was extremely contagious.

Yang Bingqian also came out to greet them, "You're finally back. We've been waiting for you for a long time."

"Then I'll tell the old lady and we'll go home." Yang Chengji said, and strode in with the child in his arms.

Yang Bingqian immediately looked at me and said, "Then let's go back first. We'll come to see you after Third Brother leaves! Otherwise, there will be too many people at home and guests..."

"What do you need to explain? You must be eager to go home," I teased her with a smile.

She nodded and said, "I've been missing home for a long time!"

"If you miss someone, just say you miss them. Why do you miss home? What's there to miss about home? It's uncomfortable here." I said, "Go get your things! Oh... don't you want to eat before you leave?"

"No! You have guests here, a whole family, let's go back and talk!" Yang Bingqian had already hurried upstairs, got her things, and was waiting for her third brother to talk to grandma.

When grandma saw that Yang Bingqian had packed up, she said to Yang Chengji meaningfully, "Go! Go home quickly! You've been waiting for so long!"

Yang Chengji smiled from ear to ear, "Grandma, let's go back then. I'll come back in the evening."

"Well! Go! Go!" Grandma waved her hand.

The third brother took the things from Yang Bingqian's hand and smiled at her. His joy was beyond words. But he turned around and said to me, "Then we'll go back first!"

Chi Xi stood up immediately, but was stopped by Chen Lang, "I'll go see them off!"

Chi Xi directly handed the key to Chen Lang. I knew that Chen Lang must have something to say to the third brother.

I watched them leave, then got into the car and left Jinding Guanlan.
