Chapter 134: The Documentary’s Final Shoot, Jinan Welcomes You
“Dagang’s surname is Yang, not Lin.”
“So what if he’s not surnamed Lin? He’s still better than your son. Your son only graduated from junior high and couldn’t even get into high school, yet you still have the nerve to say he studies well and has a promising future?”
“He may have only graduated from junior high, but he’s still my son and Mother’s own grandson.”
“My son is Mother’s own grandson too.”
Once their interests came into conflict, the younger uncle and younger aunt refused to yield to each other and immediately began trading barbs.
“That’s enough.” The old woman stopped them both.
“Whether it’s light or not, I don’t need to say anything. You can see it directly from the accounts, can’t you?” Ji Yuan said with a half-smile, not looking at either of them. His gaze merely lingered over the dishes on the table.
Their own daughter was forever doing foolish things now and then, and A-Miao could not be bothered with her. She turned around and began tidying everything away with swift, practiced movements.
Ji Ying and Shi Yazhu went over together and immediately spotted Feng Qiulan and Zhen Tan sitting on the ground. The stones in the strange rock formation were jagged and uneven. As expected, Feng Qiulan had injured her shoulder. Though it was only the beginning of winter and she was wearing thick clothes, blood had still soaked through them, staining the fabric a dark red. Clearly, the injury was far from minor.
The house that had not been there when they first arrived, yet had appeared afterward—this seemed to confirm that Zhu Jingbo and Yu Hailong had been telling the truth.
Even after all this time, she still instinctively feared Li Lianhua deep in her heart. Merely hearing his voice was enough to fill her with terror.
Once they had figured this out, their thoughts began to stir. They had come to Many-Children Lane today merely to try their luck, hoping to find even the slightest bit of information. They had never expected that scarcely had they entered the lane than they would run straight into the very person they were looking for.
“Our school has five cafeterias. The second and third ones are behind, near the dormitories. Then there’s this fourth cafeteria, as well as the West Garden Dining Hall. This fourth cafeteria has fewer people, and its food leans more toward the Chaoshan flavors popular in this area,” Student Zheng explained as they walked.
He had originally planned to enjoy himself in this world, sample all the food it had to offer, and so on. But judging from what he had seen yesterday, along with what Qianye had just said, this world had already fallen into a state of sickness.
Su Yunyun had initially intended to make everything clear to Xie Yu. Otherwise, his constant visits to the film set would affect the progress of filming. Besides, Su Yunyun did not want to spend time with Xie Yu either.
The rough-voiced girl felt that she had found support, and a hint of provocation entered her eyes as she cast a sideways glance at Ji Ying.
Xia Min was about to say something else when the uncles and aunts who had advised her earlier gathered around. Just moments ago, they had promised to help hold Xia Min’s younger brother back, but now everyone wanted Xia Fei to give Gao Yan a thorough beating.
Naturally, a regular daily schedule applied not only to Li Ziyan, but also to them as parents.
It was not until the announcement sounded inside the automated railcar that everyone finally came to their senses from the shock.
Inside a magnificent, nameless palace, the golden-haired man gazed at the sky outside, his eyes unfathomably deep.
Sometimes, knowing what one is made of can actually be a good thing. Some top students perform brilliantly on their usual tests, but when the college entrance examination arrives, if something affects their results, the psychological blow is immense.
Excellent people were always more vulnerable to setbacks. In an instant, Ji Jing experienced the helplessness of being defeated by someone much younger. As a top student, she had been left utterly powerless to fight back, and she felt as though something had lodged itself inside her heart, blocking it tight.
The other party would certainly state the true conditions in person before finalizing the financing, then include them as additional terms in the financing contract.
“Muyan, have the casualty figures been compiled?” Shangguan Yufeng swept his gaze across the military camp at the remaining dozen or so senior officers—Shangguan Luohua, Muyan, Yang Long, Shangguan Mulong, Xiao Ran, Senior Captain Sikong, and the others—and asked in a somber voice.
“Bang!”
His heart began to pound faster. The grief in his chest expanded without limit. Just as he felt himself beginning to suffocate, he looked toward the crimson wolf demon beside the distant tree, its bloody maw open as it tore into a corpse that had already gone cold.
