If not for her parents and third brother being here, she would likely have found nowhere else in Haicheng to hide.
Luo Huaizhou wanted to ask if she was all right, but before he could get the words out, she cut him off.
Ruan Xingmian had not seen her earlier and had assumed she had snuck away; she never expected the girl to have the audacity to still be associating with Qian Xiangmei.

Opening the box, they found 15 bottles inside, each labeled with a name and a date.
Of course, the primary reason Madam Wei was willing to grit her teeth and spend such a fortune on this wedding was the generous dowry Shen Ning brought with her. Besides, who didn’t know that this daughter-in-law was a golden treasure who knew how to make money?
Father Jiang summarized the recent family affairs and then instructed them that, regardless of any work or studies they might have tomorrow, they must arrive at the ancestral home before four in the afternoon to attend the monthly family banquet.

Qin Shou suddenly felt as if his brain had stopped working, but he was certain of one thing: the object in his hand was no simple item.
