Tao Jia took a set like this a few days ago. She said she had never worn such bright colors when she was in school, and now sheās trying something different little by little.
Today Peng Le looked especially nice in this outfit.
Peng Le had just come out when the boyfriend she mentioned at the entrance came over, and she quickly ran shyly to him and said, "Why are you here?"
"To pick you up, and also to see my Saozi."
"Your Saozi?"
Shen Bai Jun smiled and pointed at Lin Wan beside him, saying, "Yes, my Saozi."
"Ah... my cousin?"
Peng Le never thought there was any connection between Shen Bai Jun and her cousin. She had never heard him mention this before.
Lin Wan was equally shocked upon seeing Shen Bai Jun. The world is indeed full of coincidences; in a past life, Shen Bai Jun married Peng Le.
"I didnāt expect it either. Last time, when you mentioned helping your cousin here, I had a few guesses." Shen Bai Jun said to Peng Le with a smile, then greeted Lin Wan as Saozi.
Shen Bai Jun worked in the government nearby, in a different department from his eldest brother, but the two would occasionally meet, especially since he often interacted with his second uncle.
Itās surprising they dated for a year without knowing the connection between Peng Le and her second uncle. They must have dated in quite an unusual way.
Itās not Lin Wan being sarcastic, but Peng Le and Shen Bai Jun met under special circumstances. Peng Le knew Shen Bai Jun worked for her second uncle, but never mentioned this to him.
Shen Bai Jun only knew about Peng Leās family situation, but indeed never asked about her grandfatherās family.
Originally, when Shen Bai Jun came over, Lin Wan thought of inviting him to stay for dinner at home, but seeing them holding hands like that, she felt it was inappropriate to intrude on their time together.
She suggested Shen Bai Jun should drop by her home more often when he had time.
Shen Bai Jun replied and then led Peng Le out of the shop.
After returning home, Lin Wan marveled at the wonders of the world with Han Yi.
She joked, "Itās good that the two of them are together. This way, we can save on a gift of money."
Han Yi heard this, gently tapped her nose, and smiled helplessly, saying, "Money-grubber."
There hasnāt been news about Ye Qing for a long time. Itās uncertain how her business is doing, but at least she hasnāt caused any trouble in recent months.
She guessed it was because Mei Langchi was in prison now; with no one backing her up, she behaved herself.
Just because sheās acting right doesnāt mean she would be let off the hook. So today, she specifically took some time to check on Ye Qingās business.
Unexpectedly, upon arriving at the store, she found the name had changed.
At first, Lin Wan thought she might have gotten it wrong, but after a thorough look around, she was sure she hadnāt mistaken the store as the two sales assistants hadnāt changed.
Lin Wan wondered if Ye Qing merely changed the name. Then, she drove specially to Ye Qingās workshop for a look around.
The workshop didnāt reveal much, but she noticed something odd about Ye Qingās house.
The main gate was open, and from the look of it, it seemed like nobody had come or gone for a long time.
Lin Wan lingered at the door in confusion. Finally, she parked her car in an inconspicuous place and daringly peered in through the gate.
The yard was in disarray, and some things appeared as if they hadnāt been moved for a long time.
Lin Wan knew that the Li Family had found Ye Qing and was unsure how they dealt with her.
Lin Wan asked a nearby neighbor out of curiosity, and the neighbor said no one had lived there for several months, with the gate left open all this time.
It seemed that some thief noticed the absence of people and the open gate, so boldly cleaned out the place.
Lin Wan, of course, didnāt quite buy it, so she went to the workshop to inquire with the workers.
From her inquiry, she learned that Ye Qing had sold the workshop two months ago. When asked if they knew Ye Qingās whereabouts, they all shook their heads.
She had been so busy recently that she didnāt pay attention to Ye Qing, and unexpectedly, within a few months, Ye Qing seemed to have vanished without a trace.
To further confirm, Lin Wan went to her factory and her sonās school to ask around.
Lin Wan discovered that Ye Qing had hurriedly picked up her child one morning two months ago and had not sent him back to school; she didnāt even take the childās quilt from the school.
Now Lin Wan could confirm that Ye Qing had fled with her child, likely to avoid the Li Family.
Itās really relieving to see Ye Qing in such a predicament.
Lin Wan didnāt think much of it; when she discussed these matters with Han Yi after returning home, they hadnāt been paying much attention to Ye Qing recently, since the Li Family was involved, it wasnāt easy for them, mere soldiers, to get involved.
No one expected her to disappear in just a few months, and itās truly difficult to find someone at this point.
Han Yi advised Lin Wan not to meddle, suggesting they think about it carefully.
