Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Lu Miao pursed her lips and stepped forward, lightly tapping her forehead.
Xu Zhenzhen appeared before Xu Xinran, holding a small flower in her hand, and smiled warmly.
Not far away, Xu Xinran’s father and mother stood there with a loving expression, watching her.
Xu Xinran burst into tears instantly, choked with sobs as she called out, “Zhenzhen, Dad, Mom.”
So, while she knew nothing, her loved ones had silently been by her side, guarding her.
She reached out to touch them, but her hand only felt the cold air.
“I’m sorry, it’s all my fault.”
Xu Xinran cried uncontrollably.
Zhenzhen obediently approached, lifted her hand to wipe away the tears from her face. After finding that she couldn’t wipe them away, she could only pucker her little mouth and give her a kiss on the cheek.
Xu Xinran’s tears flowed even more intensely.
Xu Xinran’s father and mother came forward, raised their hands, and ruffled her hair, gently pulling her into their embrace.
In a sense, their family of four had reunited.
After Xu Xinran’s emotions calmed down a bit, she looked up at Lu Miao and said, “Lu Miao, can my parents and Zhenzhen stay with me forever?”
Lu Miao shook her head. “They have stayed for too long, and it’s not good for both themselves and you.”
Tears welled up in Xu Xinran’s eyes. “Then how long can they stay?”
“I don’t know. Now that Wen Yaoyang’s matter has been resolved, their lingering attachments should also dissipate. It may be a day or two, or maybe a dozen days, ” Lu Miao truthfully replied, handing her a yellow talisman. “This is an Opening Eyes talisman. Carrying it with you will allow you to see them for a month.”
Trembling, Xu Xinran took the talisman with her hand. “Thank you, Lu Miao.”
The truth was too cruel, and now was her most sorrowful and vulnerable moment. Having the company of her family might help her get through this most difficult time.
That was also the reason why she took the initiative to request the Opening Eyes talisman.
After bidding farewell to Xu Xinran, Lu Miao went outside and instructed the servant to keep an eye on Xu Xinran more closely before leaving.
After Wen Yaoyang was arrested, he confessed very quickly. It was almost as she had guessed.
According to Wen Yaoyang’s instructions, the police dug out Xu Zhenzhen’s body from under the roses in their small garden, as well as the evidence of him destroying the Xu couple’s car.
The matter finally came to an end.
After returning to the Lingyue Mansion, she received a notification that the recording for “Super Brain” was starting again.
She had also received a notification that Super
This time, Lu Miao didn’t inform anyone. After taking a leave from school, she went straight to the airport and booked a flight to Beijing.
Upon arrival, she had initially planned to take a taxi directly to a hotel near the television station. However, as soon as she stepped out of the airport, she saw Gu Ziheng leaning against a silver sports car with a beaming smile. He called out, “Sister-in-law!” and then excitedly ran over.
Lu Miao…
“How did you know I was coming?” Lu Miao asked.
“I had my manager contact the production team of ‘Super Brain’ to arrange for me to perform in the finals,” Gu Ziheng chuckled and willingly took the suitcase from her hand, placing it in the trunk of the car. He then opened the car door for her to get in.
His voice had fully recovered now, so naturally, he wanted to cheer for his sister-in-law.
Lu Miao helplessly said, “You should have overheard Grandma saying that my engagement with your elder brother is over. So, I am no longer your sister-in-law. You don’t have to act this way.”
Gu Ziheng nodded agreeably and then rubbed his chin, looking at her earnestly.
“So, do you really want to break off the engagement with my brother?”
Lu Miao didn’t understand why he was asking this and nodded with an
“mmhmm.”
However, Gu Ziheng’s eyes instantly lit up. “That’s great! Since you genuinely want to break off the engagement with my brother, why not consider me?
I’ve long thought that my brother is not worthy of you. He’s so much older than you, like an old cow eating tender grass. He has a boring personality and is a workaholic who is never home.
Being with him is too dull, and you definitely won’t be able to tolerate it.
But I’m different. I’m multi-talented, good at singing and dancing. I can entertain you, make you happy, and be with you every day.
I promise, if you want me to go east, I will never go west…”
Gu Ziheng praised himself vigorously, as if selling an unsold product on a supermarket shelf, while occasionally making derogatory comments about his elder brother to highlight his own qualities.
Lu Miao’s lip twitched. Just because Grandma didn’t agree to her engagement with his elder brother, does that mean she would agree to be with him?
Was he trying to make Grandma angry?
She raised her hand and slapped Gu Ziheng’s head, who was still enthusiastically promoting himself, and then got into the car directly.
“Hey, Er… Miao Miao, I’m really serious. Just consider it,” Gu Ziheng said, still in a daze, rubbing his head.
Lu Miao was speechless. “Consider your head. Drive.”
“Oh.” Gu Ziheng obediently turned around and got into the car.
He drove her back to the villa where she had stayed last time.
Gu Ziheng had become a top star upon his debut. He won numerous awards for his first album, but when he was preparing for his concert, someone poisoned his voice. After that, he directly withdrew from the spotlight.
Therefore, after all these years, whenever the entertainment industry does a review, he is bound to be mentioned.
There are still many die-hard fans who can’t forget about him.
Now that his voice has recovered, his official comeback performance will be on “Super Brain,” and the program’s director naturally couldn’t be happier.
The news was released immediately.
The fans were ecstatic, and the topic of his comeback skyrocketed on Weibo’s hot search.
To promote the show and support Lu Miao, Gu Ziheng agreed to a live stream as requested bv his fans.
After having dinner with Lu Miao, he sat on the living room sofa, still wearing his casual clothes without even changing. He had a strand of hair sticking up, swaying with his movements.
He looked cute and adorable, completely contrasting his previous cool and aloof image on stage.
The fans in front of the screen hesitated for a moment before instantly flooding the chat.
“Ah, Baby Zai Zai is so cute, my heart is melting!” “So adorable, I want to pinch his cheeks!”
“Hey, you there, stop fantasizing. Baby Zai Zai is mine!”
Gu Ziheng’s manager received a notification and hurriedly arrived. Seeing the people in the live stream, the manager trembled and sent him a message. “Image, image!!! Change out of your puppy-printed casual clothes!”
After going upstairs to freshen up, Lu Miao came down to the kitchen to get some water. He didn’t even notice Gu Ziheng’s live stream. As he passed by Gu Ziheng, who had his hair bouncing around, Lu Miao raised his hand and pressed it down before going upstairs without a word. She had no idea what kind of storm she had just triggered..
