The vastness of the suburbs, no one might realize the coldness and solitude here.
The bright moon hangs high in the sky, and the Big Dipper seems to be telling one startling story after another. At this mont, Tangtang’s heart is especially calm; she is getting closer to the truth.
Looking at Guoguo, who is sleeping soundly beside her, a strong sense of warmth tightly surrounds Tangtang.
Unconsciously, drowsiness hits her, and she falls asleep defenselessly. The suburban night always has many unknown animals.
Guoguo and Tangtang have grown so big, and they have never stayed in the suburbs before; this is the first ti in their lives.
As noble ladies, their usual life could be described as truly affluent, and they would never fall to the current plight. However, speaking of this, Tangtang and Guoguo are still quite resilient girls, sowhat different from ordinary ones.
This is sothing Xu Ke has long known.
The next day.
In the morning, Guoguo wakes up from a dream, last night, she had a terrible dream where Tangtang abandoned her, leaving her alone to fight against the Su Group.
Because of the commotion, Tangtang wakes up not long after, and seeing Guoguo drenched in sweat, she is startled.
"What’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell anywhere?"
Guoguo snaps out from her fright; last night’s dream was too real, as if it truly happened in reality.
"Sis, I had a dream; I dreamt that you didn’t want ." The grievances accumulated recently seed to be vented at this mont.
Tangtang hugs Guoguo tightly, wanting to pass so warmth to her.
"It’s okay, Guoguo, how could I not want you? Don’t overthink it, we are twin sisters; wherever you are, I will be."
After a long while, Guoguo’s mood improves a little.
The world is so big, I want to go see it, Tangtang recalls their childhood, under Uncle Huyan’s care, they never suffered, let alone ended up in the suburbs like today.
But, the past is ultimately the past.
"Sis, what are you thinking? You’re lost in thought."
"Oh, nothing, nothing. Are you feeling better? If you’re better, let’s act. We can’t delay too much, the more we delay, the harder it might be to resolve things."
Tangtang’s serious expression makes Guoguo feel a bit pressured; yes, currently, the family duty falls on their fragile shoulders.
"Sis, what do you think we should do next?"
Tangtang doesn’t speak; she’s contemplating sothing, yesterday’s man and woman were indeed too strange.
Also, in Suzhou, knowing that their mother had been killed, why hadn’t they avenged her?
Guoguo pulls out her phone, the screen shows it’s after 10 o’clock.
She looks at her sister without speaking, perhaps there are still unresolved matters. Actually, what Guoguo doesn’t know is that through this trial, the bond between the sisters has improved significantly.
There probably is influence from the environnt.
"Alright, Tangtang, I always feel things might not be that simple; what we see and hear is just the surface."
Guoguo thoughtfully considers, feeling that Tangtang’s words make sense.
The Su Family isn’t soone to be easily provoked, yet going to Suzhou shows such endurance.
Indicating their opponent isn’t soone insignificant.
Maybe, there’s entanglent with Jiang City’s three major corporate forces?
"Sis, you say what we see and hear is just the surface, then could we find those publicly recognized aspects? The workers in this abandoned building, surely we can learn sothing from them."
"Yes, well said."
Imdiately, the two don’t waste ti, as sisters, they consistently feel that Xu Ke would always be one step ahead of them.
This ti is no different. Indeed, the workers who originally belonged to the Su Family here have already been visited by Xu Ke’s n one by one.
Now, those retired workers, fearing trouble and bringing trouble upon themselves, are unwilling to tell the sisters anything.
Thus, the two walk not far away without enthusiasm. The single glimr of hope extinguished.
What’s next?
This is the dilemma facing the sisters.
"Guoguo, do you think the two of us are particularly useless, can’t even solve this tiny matter?"
Tangtang’s words carry a hint of self-destruction, yes, they still haven’t found any clue from the family.
Indeed, this
Business is like a battlefield, and there’s much unknown to them, should they eventually take over the family enterprise, who knows what kind of opponents they’ll face.
"Oh, Sis, haven’t we already made every effort to investigate? Even though Xu Ke is one step ahead, haven’t we understood more than him in the rundown factory building?"
Guoguo claps her little hands, looking particularly comical, which suddenly lifts Tangtang’s previously down mood.
With such a sister by her side, how could her mood not be good?
Playing is playing, making a fuss is making a fuss, but tasks must still be done.
In a tearoom in Jiang City.
The lodic piano music makes everyone feel comfortable; here, it seems to be a paradise in the city.
Tangtang and Guoguo co to this tearoom following the clues provided by the workers; they heard that the tearoom’s owner used to be the factory manager back then.
Since the incident at the factory, he opened this tearoom, and at the ti, those who worked with him were puzzled.
How did Old Wang suddenly get so much money?
Could there be so unspeakable secrets? Certainly, the events back then weren’t the doing of one person, there must be hidden truths.
While the sisters prepare to investigate at the tearoom, Su Xiao unexpectedly appears before them.
"Hey, aren’t you Tangtang and Guoguo? What are you doing here?"
Hearing this, Tangtang and Guoguo are startled and only wanting to hide; how unlucky they are to encounter this devil here.
Little do they know, Su Xiao grew up with Tangtang and Guoguo, from childhood he’d proclaid that he would marry Tangtang when they grew up, and now, before they’re grown, he’s already attached to her.
"You two don’t leave, why are you hiding after seeing ? I’m not a bad guy."
Yes, you’re not a bad guy, but you’re scarier than a bad guy.
Tangtang thinks in her heart, she doesn’t want to run into the lad here, although she admits, the boy Su Xiao is indeed quite handso, but he is unreliable in doing things.
For so reason, at this mont, Tangtang actually thinks of Xu Ke, this steady, capable man.
Thinking about it, Tangtang is a little dazed.
