Chapter 121: An Unintentional Bond of Kinship

Seeing the homeless young girl act with such kindness, Liu Xingyu wiped away her tears and said, "It is nothing, I just twisted my ankle and the pain is unbearable."

The young girl asked enthusiastically, "Where do you live? I will help you get back."

After a day of hardship, Liu Xingyu had experienced firsthand the difficulties of drifting. The young girl’s warmth prompted a deep reflection, leaving her filled with regret for the ways she had once helped evil-doers.

Learning that the girl was staying in a rented room belonging to her cousin's colleague—a space shared with the colleague's boyfriend, which made things a bit awkward—Liu Xingyu invited her to stay at a hotel with her instead.

The young girl wondered, if Liu Xingyu found a job first, she would not...

Ever since Gu Xixi had joined the company as an intern, making coffee for Anna had been her sole responsibility.

Lona found a monocular and peered at the island not far away. The island was shaped like a scimitar stuck into the sea, and at the "hilt" of the scimitar, a skeleton could be seen dangling from a rope.

On the other end of the line was Gu Xixi’s good friend, Bai Suzhen. Bai Suzhen was two years older than Gu Xixi and had married immediately after graduation to Teng Qiming, a tall, wealthy, and perfect man who loved her as his own life.

Zhang Xiao himself thought that if he didn't know Modela, he probably would have turned around and left, unless the food here was truly exceptional—the kind that was mind-blowingly delicious.

At the same time, in the plaza where Zhang Xiao was located, many tourists were in a similar situation, sitting on the steps, deeply conflicted, debating with their companions whether or not to go inside.

However, a new problem arose: if he were to sign autographs, the signature had to look good. Zhang Xiao felt his signature was decent, but not perfect—it lacked that effortless, flowing grace. To prepare for tomorrow’s book signing, Zhang Xiao decided to spend the night practicing his signature.

Even after I had studied so hard for my exams, Lu Xudong didn't care at all about how I had performed; he was only concerned with whether I felt any discomfort. I suddenly felt as though I were nothing more than a tool for bearing children.

"No way? Just a moment ago in the car, you said you were going to show me what you were made of. I was actually afraid you were going to beat me up," Qin Yan teased.

"Did you find out what kind of grudge exists between Helian Qin and Wan Longtao?" Qin Yan continued.

Long Ying’s face turned slightly red for the first time in history, and he gave a silly laugh. "Heh, I just couldn't help myself for a moment. Don't tell me you’ve fallen for her too?" Long Xuan sighed softly, shaking his head with an unreadable expression in his eyes.

With a "whoosh," the bright mining lamp was switched on. The fat man had to cover his eyes, the light so piercing he felt as though he were going blind. Just as he managed to adapt slightly, someone wrapped a black cloth around his eyes and tied it into a tight knot.

Bai Chengyue looked up at Han Moqing’s room. "This major matter should still be reported to the Princess Consort." With that, he walked toward her room.

Although Cornelia had been appointed by the front line as the Acting Governor of Area 11, she had yet to arrive to take up her post. General Bartley had thus become the Acting Deputy Governor to the Acting Governor. While his rank seemed higher and he held military power—something that, in the eyes of outsiders, was quite a cushy position—he was merely a placeholder.

After saying this, he couldn't help but want to bite his tongue. Why was he so soft-hearted? He clearly didn't want to get involved with her.

Ding Xiang hurried away as if fleeing. Previously, she had thought Jiang Yunrou was just cold and indifferent, a pushover, but now she realized this person was truly terrifying.

Ulan shot her a look of venomous hatred. Her heart was filled with raging fury, and she gritted her teeth, keeping her mouth tightly shut.

The only thing to be thankful for was that he was still her brother, allowing him to continue showering her with endless affection and closeness as her sibling.

"Don't you, as a doctor, know whether there is any injury or pain?" A person nearby set down a teacup and offered a cold, sarcastic remark. Just then, Tong Xinyuan was pulled inside by Liu Fei'er.

The commanding general waved his hand to signal the troop to hold their position and stand guard. He dismounted his horse and, with his long sword at his side, strode imposingly toward the carriage.
