Zhou Xinyao's side

The next morning, I returned home with Zhang Ziqing, Lijuan and others.

Knowing that Zhou Xinyao didn't like the hospital environment, Zhang Ziqing and Lijuan insisted on being discharged from the hospital and going home to recuperate.

Zhou Xinyao felt very guilty when she saw two people getting injured because of helping her.

In the following days, no more missing person notices were distributed.

But the search for Liu Wanning has never stopped, and the Zou family has increased its efforts both overtly and covertly.

But Liu Wanning seemed to be hidden on purpose and could never be found.

As time goes by, there is only one day left until the Lantern Festival, and the air is filled with a festive atmosphere again.

In the evening, Zhou Xinyao was watching TV series with a few girlfriends when Bai Zhenlin called.

Whenever Zhou Xinyao saw Bai Zhenlin’s call, she would feel inexplicably panicked. She always felt that something was going to happen.

After thinking for a while, Zhou Xinyao answered the phone.

"Dad~"

"Xinyao, tomorrow is the Lantern Festival, and we can meet Xiaochuan again. Do you want to come to the manor tonight? We will set off together tomorrow morning."

"I……"

Zhou Xinyao really didn't want to go there. Every minute and every second there was extremely embarrassing.

Bai Zhenlin actually knew that Zhou Xinyao didn't want to come, but today Qu Yiman was discharged from the hospital and came home with exciting news. Bai Zhenlin specially held a small celebration ceremony. If he didn't invite Zhou Xinyao, he was afraid that it would cause misunderstandings.

Bai Zhenlin heard that Zhou Xinyao didn't want to come, and said with a smile:

"Xinyao, I have good news for you. Yiman and Xiaofei have successfully gotten pregnant through IVF. They just came back this afternoon, and we held a simple celebration ceremony. If you could come, the ceremony would be even more lively."

"I... I'm a little tired these days. Can I not go?"

Zhou Xinyao finally plucked up the courage to reject Bai Zhenlin.

Although Bai Zhenlin felt very disappointed, he did not force Zhou Xinyao.

"Xinyao, you must take good care of yourself. Your health is the most important thing. If you need anything, please contact me in time," Bai Zhenlin said with a sigh.

Zhou Xinyao smiled and replied, "I will."

"Then you should have a good rest. I will pick you up on time at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning."

"Thanks dad."

After the call, Bai Zhenlin put the phone on the table and said with a melancholy face: "Xinyao said she was feeling a little unwell and couldn't come, so we won't wait for her."

Qu Yiman curled her lips slightly and forced a smile, "It's okay, it doesn't matter if she doesn't come."

"Mom, let's have dinner," Qu Yiman said to her mother.

On the day when the test tube was successful, Qu Yiman called her mother and asked her mother to rush over from thousands of miles away.

There was no one else present at today's celebration ceremony except Qu Yiman's mother.

This ceremony was not very formal, but in Qu Yiman's opinion, Zhou Xinyao was just not giving her face.

A new grudge was recorded in Qu Yiman's heart.

Bai Zhenlin saw Qu Yiman's displeasure at a glance, and hurried forward to say to the few people: "Mother-in-law, Yiman, please take a seat. There are only a few of us here today, so there is no need to be so polite."

Yiman's mother smiled awkwardly, but her every move still seemed extremely reserved.

"Mom, don't be restrained. Just treat this place as your home from now on."

Qu Yiman said, looking at Jia Fei and Bai Zhenlin again, "I told my mother that I'll let her live here from now on so that she can take care of me in the future."

"Yiman..."

Yiman's mother reached out and pulled Qu Yiman, as if trying to persuade her.

Qu Yiman pulled away from her mother with a little effort and continued, "In order to make it easier for her to take care of me, let my mother live in the room upstairs."

Upstairs is a large suite, which is Bai Yunchuan and Zhou Xinyao's room in the manor.

Qu Yiman did this to take revenge on Zhou Xinyao.

Since you don't give me face, I won't let you have an easy time either. This is what Qu Yiman thought in her heart.

Qu Yiman had just finished speaking, and before Bai Zhenlin could reply, Jia Fei rushed to say, "Yiman, upstairs is the room of my eldest brother and sister-in-law~"

"They're not coming back to live here, so it's empty anyway. Where else would my mom live?"

Qu Yiman said confidently.

The provocation is extremely strong.

Jia Fei couldn't help but retort: ​​"The manor is so big, with so many rooms, why don't you live anywhere else? Why do you have to occupy their rooms?"

Qu Yiman slapped the table and stood up. "I just want to live in the room upstairs, what's wrong with that?"

Seeing that the two were about to quarrel again, Bai Zhenlin quickly stood up and said, "Okay, just listen to Yiman. Let's vacate the room upstairs for Yiman's mother first, and we'll talk about it after Xinyao and the others come back."

Qu Yiman showed a proud smile.

As soon as she finished her meal, Qu Yiman told Wang Ma to open the door of the upstairs room and started to clean up the mess.

"Replace my bed and mattress with new ones, and throw away the sheets and quilts."

"Also, throw away all these useless things. They're so annoying just to look at!"

Qu Yiman pointed at the wedding photo on the bedside and shouted.

"Madam Second Young Master, this wedding photo belongs to the Eldest Young Master. Would it be wrong to do this?" Aunt Wang asked fearfully.

"Just clean it up when I tell you to, and hurry up!"

Mother Wang remained unmoved. After all, this was really too much and could be said to be a blatant betrayal.

"You don't want to take it, right? I'll take it myself!"

Qu Yiman stepped one foot on the bedside table and shook the photo frame vigorously.

Bang.

The picture frame fell from the wall and hit the floor.

There was a crash.

This noise was even louder.

Jia Fei and Bai Zhenlin couldn't sit still anymore, so they went upstairs together.

The loud noise just now also scared Qu Yiman.

She was staring at a pile of broken glass on the ground when she heard footsteps.

Then he looked towards the door.

Bai Zhenlin and Jia Fei were seen supporting each other and had already reached the upstairs.

Qu Yiman immediately panicked and realized that he had gone too far.

Suddenly, she thought of a good solution.

He just squatted down, holding his stomach.

After Bai Zhenlin and Jia Fei entered the house, they saw the mess on the floor and Qu Yiman squatting nearby.

Bai Zhenlin was very angry when he saw Bai Yunchuan's house was in a mess.

But when he saw Qu Yiman squatting on the ground, all Bai Zhenlin's anger turned into worry.

"Yiman, what's wrong with you?"

Bai Zhenlin asked nervously.

Qu Yiman pointed at the shattered photos on the ground and said, "I was planning to move my brother and sister-in-law's wedding photos to the attic upstairs, but I didn't expect..."

As Qu Yiman spoke, she began to choke up.

"I didn't expect it to break into pieces when I accidentally touched it, oooo~"
