Hearing the sounds of a lively party in the distance, Xin Qing felt that her godmother's guess was right. As for why she vaguely felt that she had forgotten someone she shouldn't have forgotten, her heart ached.

Later, when watching the skit with Zhang Qing, seeing those melodramatic plots, Xin Qing nodded and guessed in her heart, which young lady doesn't have a secret crush in her heart? Her reaction was probably because their family backgrounds were not equal now, and the gap in her heart was huge, so she felt sorry for herself!

"Shan Shan!"

In the evening, before their dinner started, Zhang Qing sneaked back to Xin Qing with some delicious food. "Look what I brought you?"

She brought a plate of fragrant braised pork with preserved vegetables to Xin Qing like she was presenting a treasure.

"This is the most famous dish in my hometown. I came here to make a living when I was 18 years old, but it was not until today that I had the same taste as I remembered."

"Try it!"

This was because she heard from the chef that the preserved vegetables came from her hometown, so she asked the chef to make an extra plate for her to take back and eat.

Xin Qing looked at the large piece of fat and skin on it and didn't really want to eat it, but she couldn't resist the anticipation in Zhang Qing's eyes. She picked up the chopsticks, picked up a small piece of meat with skin and fat on it, and put it carefully into her mouth.

She originally planned not to offend Zhang Qing and swallowed it without even chewing it, but when she felt the texture that melted in her mouth, which was smoother than jelly, her eyes lit up.

Seeing Xin Qing's reaction, Zhang Qing smiled happily. It was worth it that she secretly brought her this dish with hometown flavor before the party started in the evening.

He looked at Xin Qing lovingly as she ate the preserved vegetables and pork belly on the plate in small bites, and reached out to rub her head.

"It will be a bit boring these two days. After the Second Young Master and his classmates leave, I will take you around the island."

She was worried about Xin Qing going out alone before, mainly because Xin Qing was Chinese and her English was limited to what she could understand, but she spoke it haltingly. She was really worried about her going out alone.

I have talked to her more during this period, and now she feels that it is okay to ask for directions when she goes out. The wounds on her face are no longer covered with thick scars. When the time comes, I can wear a larger mask and go shopping for groceries with her and learn about this beautiful island.

"Not boring at all!" Xin Qing shook her head, but she was still looking forward to going out with Zhang Qing. "Mom, don't stay here too long. It will be troublesome if someone complains about you."

Zhang Qing is in charge of the most lucrative place in the manor - the kitchen. Some people have long been jealous of Zhang Qing's position. If Zhang Qing had not been cooking for Mr. Qian for nearly 30 years, others would have used their connections to squeeze her out.

Now she has a goddaughter named Zhang Shan, who was reported to the old man by someone from the very beginning.

The old man smiled. He originally planned to ask the old housekeeper to give Zhang Shanshan a salary, but he received a call from Zhang Qing, saying that his goddaughter's face was destroyed by a villain and it was not suitable for her to appear in public. Being able to live in the servant's room of the Qian family manor and having three meals a day provided was already a great kindness from the old man, and she could not ask for a salary.

That’s it!

Afterwards, when the old housekeeper was playing chess with Grandpa Qian, Grandpa Qian sighed a few times and said that Zhang Qing was a good person and he didn't have to worry at all if he handed over the kitchen power on the island to her!

The old butler heard it all, and after the game of chess was over, he called and reprimanded the servant who was too ambitious. His words hinted to the person in charge of the kitchen in the manor to forget about it!

"Got it! Mom's housekeeper!"

Zhang Qing pinched Xin Qing's nose. As a maid in someone else's house, she was very aware of her status and position. "I'll bring you some other delicious food when I come back."

She was able to get a dish for the party in advance, and she discussed it with the chef for a long time and paid for it herself.

As for other dishes, she would have to wait until the party was over to see if there were any leftovers. She mainly brought back the untouched leftovers.

Watching Zhang Qing turning and leaving, Xin Qing crossed his legs and ate the not-so-large dish of braised pork with preserved vegetables. It was so delicious!

After finishing this small dish, Xin Qing felt a little greasy. It would have been great if it had been paired with rice and steamed buns!

After washing the empty plate, she placed it on the coffee table in the suite where she and Zhang Qing lived.

I sat in front of the window again, looking at the flower-filled back garden below, listening to the sound of the speakers in the distance that had already started warming up for the evening party.

She looked like a princess imprisoned in a castle waiting for a warrior to rescue her. If it weren't for the scar on her face, she would have looked very realistic.

Xin Qing's brain seemed to be in a conflict, half of it eager to recall all its previous memories, and half of it seemed to be stopping itself from remembering, as if it had received a great stimulus before.

But who doesn’t have memories of the past?

Are those people who once left a deep impression in her mind also struggling desperately to break through the blood clots in her mind and happily appear in her memory?

In the humid tropical jungle, Tang Fanyuan leaned against a tree trunk. The stubble on his face was enough to poke through the cloth covering his face. He looked up at the sky with lifeless eyes.

What's the point of having a career now that my wife is gone? Who will I leave the money I earn to?

"My dear... My dear..."

He kept repeating Xin Qing's name, but his voice was choked with sobs.

He returned home with the intention of giving Xin Qing a surprise. The moment he saw his grandfather, he seemed to sense something was wrong and ran towards the bedroom like crazy.

When he didn't see Xin Qing waiting for him obediently in their bedroom during non-school hours, Tang Fanyuan felt like the sky was falling.

There is grandpa, a guard, and Aunt Li at home.

But there is no Xin Qing and Yan Yan.

Oh, and there’s Yanyan!

Tang Fanyuan looked at Aunt Li hopefully, hoping that she would tell him that Xin Qing took Yanyan to her best friend's place.

But what I saw was Aunt Li's red and swollen eyes, and her guilty shaking of her head.

The old man explained what had happened to Tang Fanyuan bit by bit. Seeing his most beloved grandson's crazy expression, he kept muttering Min Zhihao's name.

The old man didn't tolerate him and just slapped him in the face, knocking him to the spot.

"Did I tell you not to provoke so many enemies if you don't have absolute strength? If you really want to provoke them, just cut off the roots and wipe them out?"

After the old man said this, he asked the guard to hand over the information he had found.

"It's all because of your reckless behavior. Xin Qing is implicated by you."

After Xin Qing fell into the sea from the smuggling boat, the old man asked Tang Junyi to investigate who in Kyoto was cooperating with foreign personnel to kidnap Xin Qing.

The old man knew that Xin Qing was the ex-girlfriend of the Min family boy, and he also knew that the Min family boy had to give up Xin Qing because of a family marriage. He was afraid that this was something the Min family boy had done in collusion with outsiders.

It would be fine if the Min family had nothing to do with their Tang family, but the Min family happened to be Xiao Yuan's in-laws.

If Xiao Yuan attacked the Min family, would his daughter-in-law not stop him? But what could stop Xiao Yuan from doing it? Of course, it was his son Tang Junyi who stopped him!

When the father and son come into conflict again because of the Min family, he can imagine how things will end.
