Chapter 157: The Fiance Appears, Gu Bin Arrives

Unable to resist the silence, someone seized the opportunity to stir up trouble, howling at the top of their lungs as if afraid no one could hear them.

Those eager to invite the beautiful woman to dance were restless, continually pressing forward.

Lin Xiyu knitted her delicate brows, refusing one person after another, and gradually lost her patience.

"Step aside, all of you! With your crooked and withered looks, you actually want to ask a beauty to dance?"

Just as she was about to turn and leave, she was suddenly startled by an abrupt voice. Turning around, she saw that the previously noisy...

This matter still required consultation with her eldest sister. Although Wei Zhenhui had warned him, if Su Mian and Su Jinlong were truly connected to the Jing family, he would certainly not sit idly by.

Reason and subconsciousness were staging a tug-of-war, neither willing to yield until the time was right.

"You!" Feng Yanhuo was clearly provoked, her willow brows sharply erect, the hand holding the knife trembling slightly.

Yet, murder brought a prison sentence. Before making Su Jiulie pay with his life, she had to finish everything she had longed to do in this lifetime.

The man was too heavy. Xu Shilan was pinned beneath him completely, exerting all her strength before finally managing to settle him back into place.

The reason Lawrence and his companions had wandered in this forest for so long before was largely due to the magical barrier set up by Araniya and her companion. However, since that barrier had now been undone by Ald, there was no need for such trouble; heading straight for the central region would take very little time at all.

From Huo Jingchen's words, she understood that if the project in Wancheng District continued to drag on without progress, it would easily lead to delayed schedules. Aside from accumulating extra labor costs, it would likely increase unnecessary expenses among the partners. In a worst-case scenario, it could easily cause unease among the partners and lead to withdrawal of funds, which had to be avoided as early as possible.

Yun Qianchen's heart was overflowing with excitement! She never expected that Lu Zeyu had always remembered her dream. She couldn't help but marvel at his attentiveness—she had only mentioned it casually back then, yet he had kept it locked away in his heart.

Just browse freely; the valuable items wouldn't arrive until the day after tomorrow, and right now the house only had a bit of rice and flour. Since she was staying here to watch over it, could she really just haul those away?

Consequently, Lin Shuang suppressed her intense curiosity and refrained from calling to ask about her situation, choosing instead to start preparing for her upcoming trip.

In the end, Zhang Chen and Tan Shuzhen stepped forward to appease the creditors who had come knocking. Zhang Chen even provided cash to release Liu Liban from his guarantor liabilities, thereby neutralizing the biggest ticking time bomb for their company.

Along the way, Yin Feng attentively accompanied and comforted her until dusk, when he finally turned back along his original route. Just as they parted ways, Li Wan expressed her hope that he could stay a few more days, as the annual convention of the four top-tier families was coming up in a few days—a rather grand and routine yearly gathering.

Hiding in a corner, Shi Yajun watched Shi Mianmian shining so brilliantly, her lips curling in a sneer of disdain.

Ke Qingyun swallowed hard, looked around to find an exceptionally tall tree, and without another word, scrambled straight up.

"It's a long story," Ke Qingyun said with a bitter smile, briefly explaining how the faceless man had disguised himself as a friend to deceive him.

A good-tempered operator would kindly ask him to check the date on his television or phone, while an ill-tempered one would tell him to see a doctor to figure out whether there was something wrong with his eyes or his brain.

With a loud thud, the short club landed solidly on the snake-monster man's forehead, sending dark green blood splashing as the creature collapsed limply to the ground.

The worker turned and ran toward the front, while Zhang Chen walked toward the worksite shed himself; there should still be a few night-shift foremen inside the shed right now.

Finally, his entire body began to tremble with tension. As if suddenly making a difficult decision, he closed his eyes, opened his mouth with a grimace, and bit down hard.

Seeing Yiyi's listless appearance, she considerately held out the plate in her hand toward her.

Zhuang Qingqing did not answer, because the simple and straightforward Sang Yurou could not understand that love and the ability to stay together are two different things. Just like her and Huo Lingfeng—what was missed, forgotten, and unable to be together could only end in separation.
