Winter has already passed, and Jingzhou is enveloped in cold rain and chill.
The continuous drizzle lasted for three days, covering the entire Jingzhou in a layer of gray.
Like the impending winter season, the cold penetrates the bones.
However, the Yu family’s full-moon banquet is unaffected by the cold wave, still held with great bustle and grandeur.
Today, the Yu family booked Dechang Building extravagantly, setting up more than ten tables upstairs and downstairs, adhering to national banquet standards, with all dishes airlifted to ensure high quality and freshness.
Outside Dechang Building, a line of luxury cars arrive one after another, and everyone attending the banquet is a notable figure in Jingzhou, only the Yu family has such prestige.
As the lackeys of the Yu family, the Jing family took the lead, with Lady Jing attending in style with Jing Zhan and Jing Huan.
Recently, the Jing family has not been having a good ti either. As Sang Kunrou’s old case has been overturned for retrial, it turns out that Jing Guang’s grandfather, Jing Han, once served as Sang Kunrou’s deputy, later adding the most substantial evidence against Sang Kunrou, making the Jing family a focus of the investigation.
Jing Han has been dead for many years, and Jing Guang is now the head of the family. Over the past six months, Jing Guang has been taken away several tis to cooperate with the investigation, each ti lasting ten days to half a month, completely disrupting normal life.
Later, it was Yu Fusheng who intervened, and Jing Guang returned ho safely.
The Jing family was searched countless tis by those investigation teams, and outsiders might think the Jing family committed so grave cri.
Fortunately, nothing useful was found; the evidence was initially provided by Jing Han and had nothing to do with Jing Guang or anyone else in the Jing family. The culpable has its source.
After that, Yu Fusheng ca forward and settled everything, bringing the farce to an end.
To crush those who laughed at them, Lady Jing attended the event in full regalia, determined to dispel previous misfortune.
Walking, Lady Jing instructed the siblings to make sure to ingratiate themselves with Yu Ruohuan tonight, as the Yu family is the Jing family’s only reliance, and they need to cling tightly to this lifeline.
Jing Zhan’s expression wasn’t good, he responded perfunctorily.
They soon encountered Helian Yu, followed by Liu Runxi.
Jing Zhan’s eyes suddenly brightened, dissipating his gloom; his eyes almost stuck to Liu Runxi.
Lady Jing greeted with a smile: "Mrs. Liu, how have you been recently?"
Helian Yu always despised the slavish behavior of the Jing family, not possessing the pride of the Xiang family.
Helian Yu lightly raised her chin, almost looking down her nose: "Quite well, but I see Lady Jing looks quite haggard, guess it hasn’t been going well."
If Sang Kunrou’s case is successfully overturned, the Jing family would bear the deepest guilt, with Jing Han being Sang Kunrou’s confidant, a clear backstab, while Helian Hu at most just tampered with the evidence; the difference between a principal offender and an accomplice is substantial in terms of sentencing.
Thus she is not afraid in the least, especially since she holds a secret trump card.
Lady Jing easily discerned Helian Yu’s sarcasm, making her furious, but she couldn’t afford to lose face; Helian Yu wasn’t just Helian, she was also Liu Qingfeng’s wife.
"Ah, Mrs. Liu must already know, in the end, we’re in the sa boat, good thing it’s all behind us."
Helian Yu rolled her eyes, who’s in the sa boat with you.
Lady Jing’s gaze fell on the young man behind Helian Yu, her eyes flickered: "This is Runxi, isn’t it? He’s grown quite tall, indeed an outstanding talent. Jing Huan and Jing Zhan, you’re the sa age, should get along."
Jing Zhan stepped forward familiarly, first politely called Mrs. Liu, then looked shyly at Liu Runxi.
"Brother Runxi, long ti no see."
The young man nodded coldly, counting it as a response.
Helian Yu can see the little thoughts of this mother and daughter, sneering, the toad wants to eat swan at.
"Xixi, let’s go."
Helian Yu turned around, Liu Runxi didn’t even glance at Jing Zhan’s burning gaze, obediently following Helian Yu into Dechang Building.
Jing Zhan gazed dreamily at the boy’s tall and straight back.
Jing Huan remarked impatiently: "Don’t stare, no chance."
That mother-son pair act the sa, eyes above their heads; marrying into such a family is living in hell.
Lady Jing patted Jing Zhan’s shoulder: "Nannan, forget it, Helian Yu is excessively an, there won’t be any good outcos for you."
The vicious mother-in-law has trendous destructive power, she’s deeply affected.
Jing Zhan softly said: "Mom, our Jing family’s influence is not what it once was, while the Liu family’s prospects are bright. If the Jing family successfully allies with the Liu family, it would be all benefit without any harm to us."
