After Bai Nongshu passed away, the news spread quickly.

Many people felt complicated about Bai Nongshu's departure.

Once upon a time, who didn’t envy the Su family for having a pair of sisters, beautiful, sensible, and with a good relationship.

But Su Lanjing, who has been causing a lot of trouble recently, has done so many cruel things. Even her own sister Su Lanyi was murdered by her. Now everyone in the imperial capital knows about the dirty deeds of the Su family!

As much envy as there was in the past, there is as much slander as there is now.

That night, distant relatives of the Su family came from all over the world to the Su family.

The undertaker arrived at the Su family, changed Bai Nongshu into burial clothes, and then placed her in the coffin.

According to funeral tradition, Bai Nongshu's body will be kept at home for three days before being sent to the funeral home for cremation. It is the eighth month of the lunar calendar, and the temperature is still very high, so Bai Nongshu's body was placed in a refrigerated coffin to facilitate the condolences of relatives and friends who came to mourn.

Su Hang, as the eldest son of the family, knelt at one side of the mourning hall during these three days to express his condolences. Considering that Jiang Youling was pregnant and it was not suitable for her to kneel for a long time, Yu Zhiyan knelt at the mourning hall instead of her.

Prior to this, the Su family had discussed with the Jiang family about adopting Jiang Youling as their goddaughter. Bai Nongshu had always liked Jiang Youling, who looked very much like her own youngest daughter. It was great to have a daughter to accompany her before her death, and she passed away peacefully.

The Jiang family had no objection. Besides, the relationship between the two families had always been good, so there was nothing wrong with this kind of thing.

On the third day, Gu Yao came.

When he arrived, most of the guests had already arrived, and his appearance made everyone look strange.

The recent revelation of his relationship with the two daughters of the Su family was shocking.

The second young lady of the Su family's ex-boyfriend was the second young master of the Gu family, but he was also the ex-husband of the eldest young lady of the Su family, and they had a child.

Both parties are in this together both for business and for the sake of their children.

Gu Yao had moral and emotional reasons to attend the funeral, but his appearance still made everyone's expressions look strange, and everyone unconsciously turned their eyes to Su Hang and Su Yunfan.

Ignoring the curious looks of the people around him, Gu Yao walked directly into the mourning hall, knelt in front of the ice coffin, and kowtowed deeply.

Yu Zhiyan, as Bai Nongshu's son-in-law, kowtowed in return.

When I was bowing, I felt a little elated.

Because he was qualified to kowtow as Bai Nongshu's son-in-law, but Gu Yao no longer had this qualification.

Gu Yao raised his head and met Yu Zhiyan's calm eyes. His brows moved slightly, as if he read provocation and pride in Yu Zhiyan's seemingly calm eyes.

Just be as arrogant as you can.

Gu Yao received news today that Diaboli has quietly arrived in Country Z. He sneered in his heart, thinking that Yu Zhiyan doesn't have much time left to live.

Gu Yao stood up and walked towards Jiang Youling. He noticed her red and swollen eyes and felt a little distressed.

"Yi...Jiaojiao, I'm sorry."

Jiang Youling glanced at him and nodded gently.

As soon as she nodded, Jiang Youling noticed that Yu Zhiyan's sharp eyes were staring at them. She immediately collected her thoughts, sat up straight, turned her attention to other guests, and ignored Gu Yao.

Gu Yao insisted, feeling melancholy in his heart.

After dinner, Su Hang held Bai Nongshu's photo in his hand. The funeral car arrived at Su's house, took away Bai Nongshu's body, and then went to the funeral home.

In the afternoon, Bai Nongshu was buried.

That night, Jiang Youling and Yu Zhiyan both stayed at the Su family's house overnight.

Jiang Youling was too tired to rest properly after being busy these days. After taking a shower, she didn't even have the energy to blow dry her hair, and she just lay down to sleep.

Yu Zhiyan pulled her up and blew her hair.

Jiang Youling lay on Yu Zhiyan's legs, feeling so sleepy that she was about to fall asleep.

After blowing dry her hair, Yu Zhiyan held Jiang Youling's right hand and played with it in his hand.

Jiang Youling let him fiddle with her watch, and when she was about to fall asleep, she suddenly felt a chill on her wrist. She looked up in surprise and found a rose gold diamond-studded ladies' watch on her wrist, with a deep red strap and a circle of small diamonds around the dial.

In the past, when Jiang Youling saw this watch, only one thought would come to her mind - beautiful.

Ever since being with Yu Zhiyan, whenever Jiang Youling looks at this watch, the only thing that comes to her mind is just one word - expensive!

"Did you take the wrong medicine?" He actually bought such an expensive thing for her.

Yu Zhiyan pursed his lips tightly and said gloomily, "Yes, I am not in my right mind. I bought a watch with a loan and paid for it in installments."

Seeing that Yu Zhiyan was angry, Jiang Youling quickly comforted him: "It's really beautiful, I like it very much, you are so thoughtful." Seeing that his expression had not completely eased, Jiang Youling added: "You are the best to me, I really love you so much."

After hearing these words, the gentleman finally felt a little better.

He stared down at the watch on Jiang Youling's wrist and suddenly said, "Happy birthday, you are 22 years old." He made her a mother at the age of 22.

I remember that he was jealous of Gu Yao two years ago, but I didn't expect that in two years, he would become the object of jealousy.

This year, Yu Zhiyan prepared this watch in advance and planned to give it to Jiang Youling as a gift to celebrate her birthday. Because of Bai Nongshu's death, Jiang Youling was so busy that she forgot about it, but Yu Zhiyan did not forget this important day.

Jiang Youling was stunned.

Only then did she remember that today was her birthday as Su Lanyi.

If he hadn't told her, she would have forgotten it herself.

"This is the last time I'll let you celebrate Su Lanyi's birthday. After this birthday, you can just be your Jiang Youling. Su Lanyi is a thing of the past."

"Thank you!"

She turned around, hugged Yu Zhiyan's waist tightly, buried her cheek in his abdomen, took a deep breath, and whispered, "I really like this gift."

Yu Zhiyan gently stroked her hair and suddenly asked, "Where is my watch?"

"What watch?" Jiang Youling looked up at him, confused.

Yu Zhiyan had to remind her, "It's the pocket watch you have treasured for ten years."

Jiang Youling then recalled what she had said to Yu Zhiyan before.

He has a really good memory.

Jiang Youling got up from the bed, left the bedroom, and walked towards her own collection room.

This collection room used to be her childhood playroom. As she grew up, the room's function changed into a place to collect precious items.

Yu Zhiyan followed her in and saw Jiang Youling taking out a velvet box from a small ivory-white cabinet.

Holding the velvet box, she walked up to Yu Zhiyan and handed it to him: "Here, it's for you."

Yu Zhiyan took the box and opened it gently———

A men's mechanical watch lies quietly on the soft velvet.

The bottom of the dial is a tranquil starry blue with an engraved image of a flying horse, but there are two tiny scratches on the cover.
