Ning Yuechen came to the cemetery holding a bouquet of flowers. She looked at the tombstone that reflected a warm luster in the morning light. She stood there for a long time before bending down and putting down the flowers in her arms.

This is a flower arrangement she made herself.

Aunt Shi said that her mother liked bouquets of bright colors and beautiful meanings, so every time she came to the cemetery, she would bring a carefully matched fresh bouquet for her mother.

Just like the first time she came here, she went forward and hugged the tombstone, whispering softly: "Mom, I always remember what you said. I will soon leave Aunt Shi and start living independently."

"I have lived a good life these years, and Aunt Shi has been very good to me, so good that... I sometimes have hallucinations and think she is my biological mother. But I know that she is only Aunt Shi. She has kept me by her side under such great pressure over the years and has given me all her love and warmth. I am very grateful for her protection of me. So I have to be more sensible and not let her suffer so much anymore."

Ning Yuechen stroked the intricately carved portrait on the tombstone and continued to mutter to himself, "Mom, it would be great if you were still here."

She took out a pack of special wet wipes from her bag and began to carefully wipe the clean and transparent stele without a trace of dust. She continued, "I may be a little busier in the future and won't come to see you every week like before. But as long as I have time, I will definitely come and talk to you."

At this time, a beam of bright sunlight shone on the tombstone, shining with golden light, making the face and voice of the person in the portrait more beautiful and vivid.

It was in this trance where reality and memories were gradually folding together that Ning Yuechen seemed to hear a clear call coming from a distant place.

"Morning."

Ning Yuechen turned his head suddenly with his mind blank, but saw nothing, only empty silence all around.

The sun had risen at some point, and she just sat quietly in front of the tombstone with her back to the sun. After an unknown amount of time, she stood up, bowed deeply to the tombstone, and turned away.

Shi Yu stood in front of the French window, watching the servants busying around below, until one cargo truck after another approached from afar and finally stopped in the yard of the building next door.

She then asked Aunt Qian beside her: "When will she arrive?"

"We are already halfway there. It will probably take another 20 minutes for the young lady's car to arrive home."

"Has Yue Chen come back?"

"Not yet, but I've already told the driver to take a detour and send Miss Ning back at a different time."

"it is good."

Shi Yu looked at the group of workers in the next yard who were carrying various boxes and walking towards the elevator outside, and she felt more and more depressed and flustered.

Some time ago, he learned from Bai Jingyuan that his daughter, whom he had not seen for ten years, was returning to China to inherit the family business, but he did not expect it to be so sudden, which directly disrupted her plans.

Fortunately, most of his property has been transferred to Ning Yuechen, along with the company's shares.

But before she could get the child away, Bai Yi suddenly came back early, completely catching her off guard.

But there is one thing she is clear about, Bai Yi's return to the country this time is definitely not with good intentions.

A row of black private cars drove at a constant speed into the manor villa built on the hillside.

Bai Jingyuan stood in front of the first main gate of the manor villa. He did not step forward until the first few black cars drove to the left and right. Just at this time, the car in the middle of the convoy stopped.

Bai Yi walked out from the back seat, looked calmly at his father who was obviously happy, and said, "Dad, I'm back."

Bai Jingyuan looked at his daughter and suddenly felt a sense of pride that his daughter had grown up.

Clearly, they had just met in Country E last week.

In recent years, he has set aside a few days every month to go abroad to accompany his daughter. He has never missed any important stage in her life, and the relationship between them is very good.

But he didn't know if it was because his daughter hadn't returned home for several years, but when they met again in such a long-awaited environment, he felt as if he was in a different world.

It was as if the girl who left without looking back ten years ago made a strong comeback in a stunning way overnight, which made me feel both relieved and sad.

It seems that I am really old, and I have begun to feel sad that time is making people grow old.

Shi Yu watched the father and daughter in the distance walk through the first Dragon Guard Gate, the second Welcoming Gate, and finally the third Noble Family Gate in a very grand ceremony, and then slowly walked towards the main building area step by step. She became more and more nervous.

The last time the Bai family made such a grand scene was when Bai Jingyuan married her.

It seems that Bai Yi is returning to China this time to directly inherit the family business without even a transition period in between.

Considering the grand dinner tomorrow night that will gather all the celebrities and nobles from City B, Shi Yu suddenly felt a huge headache.

The two blurry figures below came closer and closer, and Shi Yu finally saw Bai Yi's appearance clearly. He couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

In her memory, Bai Yi's appearance was very aggressive, and it was this sharpness that diluted her cold beauty. In addition, sometimes her behavior was too eerie and terrifying, which made her feel very uncomfortable.

Although everyone praised her daughter as a beauty, she herself had never felt that way and was even unwilling to even look at her.

At this moment, she looked at the woman next to Bai Jingyuan, who had dark eyebrows, a noble temperament, and an elegant demeanor, and she felt extremely unfamiliar.

Just as she was watching intently, the other person raised his eyes slightly and cast his gaze on her accurately. His pair of slender and beautiful eyes were as black as ink, and it was impossible to see the true emotions hidden in them.

Shi Yu stood frozen where he was, unable to come back to his senses for a long time.
