Chapter 105 Farewell
Money is essential, and Liu Jingyi counted it; there was still quite a bit.

She didn't intend to leave any money for Leng Yunting, but as a pregnant woman, she didn't dare to openly carry so much money, for fear of being robbed.

These days, pickpockets are everywhere.

She cut several slits in the inside of the coat she was going to wear, stuffed the money into them in different places, and then sewed them closed with needle and thread.

When you're traveling, you absolutely can't do without money.

She touched her belly, feeling sorry for the child inside her, who would have to endure hardship and displacement with her.

Leng Yunting still didn't return that night.

Qin Yan spends every day with her daughter-in-law, and naturally noticed that there were problems between her youngest son and daughter-in-law.

My wife, whom I used to cherish so much, hasn't been coming home lately, and she hasn't even called me once at night.

Even Qin Yan, the mother-in-law, couldn't stand it anymore and called the military region, but no one answered.

The next day, Leng Chuwen learned that his wife had lost her temper with the operator, so he quickly called back and said, "Don't worry, our son went out on a mission. It's a secret, and no one can contact him."

"What happened? So sudden? Could there be a problem?"

Leng Chuwen simply comforted his wife, "That's how it is when you're in the army. Who can say for sure? Military orders are like mountains, and it's not something our son can choose. Don't worry, our son will be fine."

What Leng Chuwen didn't say was that this dangerous mission wasn't originally Leng Yunting's responsibility; he insisted on going himself.

Leng Chuwen didn't dare to say anything. Not only did he not stop his son, but he also supported him going.

Qin Yan wasn't unaware of this, and although she still had her doubts, she explained to her son in front of Liu Jingyi that Leng Yunting had received a temporary mission and would be back soon.

Liu Jingyi nodded, "Mom, I know. Yunting is a soldier, and I can understand."

I hate it, so naturally I don't want to see it again.

Liu Jingyi could understand; it was perfectly normal.

She was still quite disappointed, after all, she had originally planned to coax him a little more.

Since that's the case, then forget it.

He doesn't want to see her anymore, so she shouldn't be annoying.

Liu Jingyi picked up her pen and wrote a few short sentences.

She didn't plan to leave in a big way, and besides, she was pregnant, so she couldn't possibly take too much luggage.

Liu Jingyi packed only two pieces of clothing and didn't bring anything else.

Over the past two days, Liu Jingyi knitted Leng Yunting's sweater overnight.

She still had hope. As long as Leng Yunting came back, she would explain to him that she liked him.

However, Leng Yunting did not return.

That day, no one was home at the Leng family's house. The housekeeper finished cooking and went home. Qin Yan was at work during the day, and Liu Jingyi took her luggage and left the compound.

However, Liu Jingyi carrying luggage still attracted the attention of other people in the compound.

Many retired cadres in the compound recognized Liu Jingyi.

After all, Liu Jingyi always greeted them very politely, which made her very popular with the older folks.

"Jingyi, where are you going?"

Liu Jingyi had already made up her mind: "Grandma, my maternal grandmother is sick, I'm going back to visit her."

The old lady frowned upon hearing this. "Are you going back alone? You're pregnant, aren't you? Why don't you let Yunting accompany you?"

However, it had been quite some time since I'd seen Leng Yunting.

Although they are all retired, it doesn't mean they know nothing.

Leng Yunting has gone on a mission and probably won't be back for long.

Liu Jingyi paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "Grandma, Yunting has a mission, and the family can't wait any longer. I'll go back first, and he can come find me when he gets back."

The old lady was still worried and said...
"But you're a young woman, and you're pregnant. It might not be safe for you on the road." Liu Jingyi had already prepared an excuse, "Grandma, my sister and her husband are here to pick me up."

The old lady was relieved. "Oh, I see. You must be careful on the road. If anything happens, go to the police station, okay?"

Liu Jingyi nodded, "Okay, Grandma."

"Then you should go quickly, it would be bad if you were delayed."

Liu Jingyi went out the gate and headed towards the train station.

Liu Jingyi said someone was coming to pick her up, but that was just a perfunctory excuse, and besides, she didn't have a sister.

As for her stepsister, Liu Yunyun, that's simply impossible.

Liu Jingyi bought a house in Yuncheng, a small city in the southernmost part of a neighboring province.

She arrived at the train station just in time, but this time Leng Yunting wasn't there. She only managed to buy a seat ticket, not a sleeper berth.

Before boarding the train, Liu Jingyi specially changed into a set of clothes that were as tattered as could be.

Her fair face was also made up, making her look quite poor.

Throughout the journey, Liu Jing remained vigilant, clutching the small bag tightly in her arms and daring not to move.

I try not to drink water if I can avoid it, and when I'm hungry I just eat a piece of bread.

I didn't dare to sleep at all during the journey, for fear that something unexpected might happen.

When she got off the train, she waited until almost everyone else had disembarked before she started getting off herself.

There were too many people, and she was afraid of getting her stomach squeezed.

Liu Jingyi had already made up her mind before leaving the capital.

She can't rely on others forever; relying on heaven, earth, or the male lead is not as good as relying on herself.

After getting off the train, Liu Jingyi first found a guesthouse to settle in.

Liu Jingyi was exhausted from the journey. When she arrived at the guesthouse, she quickly washed up and took a nap.

When I woke up again, it was already noon.

Liu Jingyi first went to a state-run restaurant, ate there, and then went to inquire about where there were places to rent houses.

Heaven was still on Liu Jingyi's side, and she soon found a place through her inquiries.

However, Liu Jingyi was also very cautious; she understood the importance of comparing prices from different vendors.

Furthermore, I didn't rent it just because the price was low, since there are many such places nowadays, and a low price usually indicates a problem.

Finally, Liu Jingyi found a place she liked, and she was currently negotiating the price with the landlord.

Liu Jingyi may look delicate, but she is not an innocent naive girl who knows nothing.

She found a house she liked, both parties put their fingerprints on the document, and Liu Jingyi paid the money.

She's made up her mind.

The place Liu Jingyi rented was in a great location, close to the busiest part of the city and also very close to the hospital.

Apart from the house being a bit old, everything else is pretty good.

However, since no one has rented it for so long, it still needs to be thoroughly cleaned.

Liu Jingyi spent several days cleaning the small courtyard inside and out.

From then on, Liu Jingyi settled down in Yuncheng.

However, things were in complete chaos inside the capital's compound.

Qin Yan was the first to notice that her daughter-in-law was not at home. At first, she thought she had gone shopping, but by evening, when it was time for dinner, she still hadn't returned.

She started to panic and quickly sent people out to search.
