go confront An Pingtong himself and think about what she did to me before. This matter, Uncle might even hold the An family accountable.” An Xiaotu’s voice turned cold a few degrees, “Also, the medici...Lu Yin never asked Old Mister Tang what he meant by, "Some people are destined to die, no matter how much they try to avoid it."

He guessed Tang Moqing should know, but he didn't ask Tang Moqing.

He had never thought about getting to know the Tang family before.

Even now, the thought only flickers in his mind when Old Master Tang mentions 'Tang Sxiu,' quickly disappearing afterwards.

This year's Chinese New Year's Eve at the Tang family was exceptionally lively. Lu Yin visiting for the holiday was one reason, and another was Xiao Ya Bai being pregnant with twins. To top it off, they had both held their wedding ceremonies this year.

As in years past, An's parents and Yi Sheng also came to the Tang family for New Year's Eve and the new year.

When elders gather, they often turn their attention to single people.

As expected, after the New Year's Eve dinner, several elders gathered together to play mahjong. Then, Lu Yin and Yi Sheng, who were sitting on the side, were subtly urged to get married.

I don't want to have to put up with these elders' 'concern,' Lu Yin said, "I'm going out for a cigarette."

After Lu Yin left, Yi Sheng, the only single person left at the scene, endured all the 'concern'. He himself didn't feel much about it.

Usually, his parents wouldn't pressure him. When others tried to introduce him to potential partners, his mother would also help refuse, saying he was still young and there was no rush; it was just a casual gathering when two families met.

After a while.

Yisheng also said, "I'm going outside for a cigarette."

He took back his previous words. The elders of both families were too enthusiastic, and he couldn't bear it a bit. He just wanted to light a cigarette and think about life.

Outside the mansion.

Lu Yin just sat there quietly, without smoking.

He wasn't a smoker himself, saying he wanted to have a cigarette was just an excuse.

"What are you thinking about" Yisheng stood beside him, looking down at Lu Yin.

Yisheng doesn't smoke either.

"Think about life," Lu Yin replied faintly.

Yisheng, "Oh."

"What about you" Lu Yin asked him back.

"Thinking about something tricky." Yisheng replied.

Lu Yin raised an eyebrow, "What's the matter Tell me."

"No." Yisheng coldly refused.

"... Lu Yin."

That's all for today.

Thus, both fell silent.

After a while, Lu Yin felt a bit cold, but he didn't want to go back and be worried about by his elders.

Then, I heard Yisheng casually ask, “What’s your relationship with Tang Xiuxiu”

"If I said I was Tang Xiu, would you believe me" Lu Yin asked him in return.

Yisheng's tone was unfazed, very calmly saying, "If you can produce evidence to prove that you are him, then I will believe you."

"No need to prove it to you." Lu Yin said with a hint of malice.

Yisheng's attitude was nonchalant, "I didn't know him before he died. I only knew about him from the Tang family. The Tang family cares about Tang Si Xiu, but I don't. So whether you are or aren't Tang Si Xiu has nothing to do with me. I'm just asking on behalf of my brother-in-law."

The brother-in-law he was talking about was Tang Moqing Ye, also known as Tang Yucheng.

Lu Yin pursed his lips and said nothing.

Yi Sheng changed the subject, deliberately asking, "Speaking of which, why didn't you bring your little mute assistant to the Tang family for the New Year She looks quite like my An An."

“...." Lu Yin.

My mood is a bit irritable.

Still no words.

Yi Sheng stayed outside for a while, and it was getting a little cold. Lu Yin wasn't speaking either, so she found it boring and turned back into the house.

Soon, Lu Yin also followed back into the room.

Old Master Tang couldn't beat Tang Yucheng at mahjong, so he asked Lu Yin to play for him.

When An's father saw this, he also called his own son to take the lead. Tang Zhongsen also asked San Shao to beat him.

In the blink of an eye, three young people replaced three elders.

Several elders, having just finished a game of mahjong, sat sipping tea, chatting and enjoying some snacks.

Four ambitious men battle it out at the mahjong table.

Several people had roughly similar skills, but Master Tang was slightly better.

We stayed up until after midnight.

After setting off firecrackers and fireworks, they exchanged some New Year's greetings before returning to their rooms to rest.

That night on New Year's Eve, Lu Yin thought about it for a long time, but ultimately chose to let it go.

He was originally only planning to stay in North City for a week, but he ended up staying until the Lantern Festival before flying back to Germany.

******

It was the weekend.

An Xiaotu brought Xiao An to the shopping mall this year, planning to buy some spring clothes for the little guy.

As I passed a baby clothing store, I suddenly caught sight of a familiar figure inside.

An Xiaotu led Xiao Annian into the baby clothes store, and exclaimed in surprise, "Holly!"

When someone called out her name, Holly stiffened up and turned around. It was An Xiaotu, who greeted her with a smile and a nod.

"How did you end up in Nordstadt" An Xiaotu walked towards her with a smile, speaking in German, "Are you buying baby clothes"

A few days ago, Lu Yin came to Beisi City for the New Year. She heard that Kelly had resigned as T's chief design officer. As for where she went after resigning, Lu Yin didn't say.

She didn't know why Holly had resigned, and Lu Yin also seemed reluctant to mention Holly.

Hely's eyes flickered with a hint of panic before she pulled out her phone and typed an explanation: 'I heard that A Bai's baby is about to be born, so I came to take a look.'

An Xiaotu originally wanted to say that if Herley wanted to give Ya Bai's son clothes, designing them herself would be more meaningful.

But the words were on the tip of my tongue, but I swallowed them back.

Holly has already quit her job at T's. It's unknown what she's doing now, perhaps she doesn't even have time to draw designs or sew clothes anymore.

It's thoughtful of you to think of a gift for Baby Ya Bai.

"By the way, when did you come to Beis City You didn't even tell us. Xiaonuan misses you so much." An Xiaotu chatted casually while looking at baby clothes.

At that time, I didn't know that Holly had already resigned. I was just a little confused that Holly hadn't contacted Xiaonuan for a long time.

Later, Lu Yin came to the Tang family for Chinese New Year, and they only then learned that Holly had resigned.

It's likely that after Hely resigned, she stopped contacting Xiaonuan.

Helly was typing on her phone, seeming to be thinking about how to answer Xiaotuz's question. She typed slowly, typing and deleting, deleting and typing again:

I just arrived in Beis City not long ago and have only recently settled down. I haven't had a chance to tell you all yet.

An Xiaotu nodded understandingly, not thinking much of it.

"Where do you live now" she asked Holly again.

After a moment's thought, she gave him an address. Finally, she specifically warned An Xiaotu: 'Don't tell Lu Yin that you saw me in Beisi City.'

Judging from An Xiaotu's attitude, she must already know about her resignation.

An Xiaotu didn't know the situation between He Li and Lu Yin. This kind of thing, she wasn't clear about it, and she wouldn't meddle blindly.

"I understand. I don't usually talk much with Lu Yiping, and I wouldn't bring you up to him."d butler’s words died in his throat before he could finish them. He was met with a cold silence.Looking at the tightly shut door, the old butler sighed helplessly: "Ai, young master has locked himself...
