On the night the Shanghai socialite accompanied the military officer, he broke his vow.

Chapter 19 The dust has settled
"What? You're leaving Shanghai?"

Upon learning that Song Jinyue would be leaving Shanghai the day after tomorrow, Fifth Uncle and Fifth Aunt were quite agitated and jumped to their feet.

Song Jinyue said helplessly, "Fifth Uncle and Fifth Aunt, please don't get agitated. Sit down and listen to me."

"you say!"

Fifth Uncle and Fifth Aunt said in unison, feeling as if they had needles stuck in their buttocks, and couldn't sit still at all.

“Lu Manman has hooked up with Li Wenzhu. I don’t want that kind of scumbag, so I plan to go to Beijing to call off the engagement.”

"Retreat! Fifth Uncle supports you. That Li family brat looks respectable, but I never expected him to be so morally corrupt. This kind of bastard is not worthy of our Yue girl at all."

Upon learning that Song Jinyue was going to the capital to annul the engagement, Fifth Uncle breathed a sigh of relief.

It only takes two or three days to travel from Shanghai to Beijing and back, so Yue Yatou will be back soon after announcing the engagement.

However, just as Fifth Uncle was starting to relax, Song Jinyue said, "Now that I'm all grown up and have lived in Shanghai for twenty years, I also want to go out and see the world."

Fifth Uncle seemed to have heard devastating news. "What? What do you mean? You...you...you're leaving and not coming back?"

Before Song Jinyue could speak, Fifth Uncle slapped his thigh and started throwing a tantrum.

"Oh dear, I knew it was this old geezer who was annoying. I just woke up and you're already leaving. Oh well, fine, since that's how it is, I won't get in your way anymore. I'll leave now."

After he finished speaking, he made a move to walk towards the door. He originally thought that Song Jinyue would stop him immediately, but no one came over even when he was almost at the door.

Fifth Uncle paused, reason telling him that he should leave without looking back, but he couldn't bear to.

He had finally woken up and just reunited with Yue. If she left, he didn't know when he would see her again.

After much hesitation, he gritted his teeth and turned around with a look of recklessness on his face.

Then he saw Song Jinyue looking at him with her arms crossed, her expression as if to say: Act, I'll just watch you act.

Fifth Aunt sat down next to Song Jinyue and reluctantly took her hand.

“Yueyue, I know you’ve always been a thoughtful child. Since you want to go out and see the world, your fifth aunt supports you.”

"But you have to promise Fifth Aunt that you'll call home whenever you have time, so that your Fifth Uncle and I can hear your voice, know where you are, and know if you're doing well. You can't lie to me this time."

“I knew Aunt Wu was the best to me. Don’t worry, I will call home whenever I have time.”

Song Jinyue leaned her head on her fifth aunt's shoulder and acted coquettishly towards her as before.

Seeing this, Fifth Uncle snorted with a hint of jealousy.

Song Jinyue and Fifth Aunt smiled at each other, then got up and walked to Fifth Uncle's side to help him sit down.

"Alright, Fifth Uncle, don't be angry. It's not like I'm not coming back. Sit down and calm down. I'll get you a glass of water."

After finishing speaking, Song Jinyue turned around and poured a bowl of spiritual spring water for each of her fifth uncle and fifth aunt.

She smashed and threw away the pots and pans that those ungrateful wretches had used. This new set of kitchenware was a new purchase that Ma Guifen made from the department store.

Fifth Uncle and Fifth Aunt had spent a lot of time scolding Lu Weiguo today. They took the water that Song Jinyue handed them and drank it all in one gulp. They didn't know if it was just their imagination, but after drinking the water, their fatigue seemed to disappear.

Fifth Uncle thinks he could take on ten more Lu Weiguos right now!
Upon learning that Song Jinyue would be leaving Shanghai the day after tomorrow, Fifth Uncle immediately returned home. It was time to hand over the things his eldest brother had left behind to Yue'er.

Aunt Wu then took Song Jinyue to the department store and they went on a shopping spree, afraid that Song Jinyue would feel wronged by being alone outside.

After buying their things, the two went to a state-run restaurant and got a few more dishes to go. By the time they got home, the sun had already set.

Not long after I got home, my fifth uncle returned and had all the furniture, including the bed and sofa, brought over.

Fifth Aunt loved the mountains and nature, and had been living in the suburbs with Fifth Uncle for many years. But now that they were getting old, living in the suburbs made it inconvenient for them to buy things or see a doctor. They also had no children, so Song Jinyue went to great lengths to persuade them to move to the Song family's old house.

After all the furniture was moved inside, the once empty old house came alive again.

After everyone left, Fifth Uncle mysteriously took a box out of the cabinet.

"Yue girl, this is what your grandfather left behind. Now that you are leaving Shanghai, it's time to hand these things over to you. No matter what the policies are, with these things, you can be guaranteed not to be harmed."

Song Jinyue looked at the box in front of her with curiosity, and opened it under the watchful eyes of her fifth uncle and fifth aunt.

A box full of certificates of honor and various photos came into her view.

Song Jinyue picked up the top photo, and when she saw the familiar face next to her grandfather, her pupils contracted, and she couldn't calm down for a long time.

"Back then, your grandfather responded to the call and donated half of his family fortune without hesitation when China was in trouble. In the early years, he would lend a helping hand wherever there was trouble. These photos were taken at that time."

"And these certificates and awards are all honors awarded to your grandfather by the higher authorities. Your grandfather was among the first batch of red capitalists to receive commendation and recognition from higher authorities!"

Fifth Uncle explained the origin of the photos and certificates, and then patted Song Jinyue on the shoulder.

"Yue girl, keep these things safe. Although your grandfather has been gone for many years and his great achievements will gradually be forgotten, with these things, no one will make things difficult for you because of your identity."

"Remember, you are a descendant of red capitalists!"

Looking at the tall stack of certificates and photos in front of her, Song Jinyue's eyes welled up with tears.

It turns out that her grandfather had started planning long ago, paving the way for her future.

"Here's also this passbook. Consider it your fifth uncle's money for phone bills. Call home whenever you have time after you get to Beijing. Don't worry about the phone bills."

Fifth Uncle forcefully handed Song Jinyue a bankbook. Upon seeing the number on the bankbook, Song Jinyue's eyes widened in surprise.

No way, who pays 50,000 yuan in phone bills right away?!

……

Lu Weiguo and Shen Yurou couldn't withstand the interrogation and admitted to having illicit relationships with women, and also admitted that Lu Manman was their illegitimate daughter.

Shen Yurou even honestly revealed Lu Guangzong's identity.

Upon learning that Lu Guangzong was Shen Yurou's bastard child with another man, Lu Weiguo fainted from anger!

The large yellow croakers were found in their kitchen stove. With a tip-off and both witnesses and physical evidence, the two men were sentenced to ten years in prison.

Gang leader Zhang Biao was sentenced to life imprisonment. It turned out that he not only ran a casino and stole other people's property, but also colluded with enemy agents!
Although the other petty thugs were unaware that Zhang Biao was colluding with enemy agents, they still committed many petty thefts and fights, and were eventually sentenced to three years in prison.

Although the group was apprehended, they still couldn't find the Song family's lost assets.

Even though these thugs had their teeth knocked out, they still insisted that the thieves who emptied the Song family's property were a different group.

The police officers had no choice but to continue searching for the other group they mentioned, promising to notify Song Jinyue immediately if they had any news.

Song Jinyue didn't take it to heart, after all, she was the 'other group' that those thugs were talking about.

As for Lu Manman and Lu Guangzong, the siblings were given a serious reprimand and were taken away by the educated youth office as soon as they came out of the police station.

Originally, Song Jinyue had arranged for them to go to the countryside, but because of their improper thoughts and behavior, the two were sent to labor camps.

The addresses remained the same, but Lu Manman went to Yunnan Province, while Lu Guangzong went to Gansu Province.

Sending people to the countryside and being sent down to the countryside are two different categories of people with different social classes. Since their social classes are different, their treatment after arriving in the countryside will naturally be different as well.

Haha, I'll work those two bastards to death!
