Hong Kong is in full swing

The moment of separation was approaching. Yu Wan glanced at Huo Chuyan's eyebrows reluctantly and restrainedly with an almost cherishing look, and then whispered: "Thank you very much, Mr. Huo, for taking me home tonight. If, if..."

Yu Wan's fingers tightened unconsciously. Huo Chuyan waited for her to continue. "What if?"

After a while, she relaxed and said, "If you're not busy, Mr. Huo can also take a walk around Pengcheng. The environment here is really nice."

Hearing this, Huo Chuyan looked at her quietly for two seconds, then replied softly, "I see, thank you."

Yu Wan breathed a sigh of relief.

The car passed through the bustling city center, turned into an old street of tube-shaped buildings, and slowly stopped. The driver picked up Yu Wan's luggage and got out of the car first.

"Mr. Huo, Miss Yu, we're here."

Yu Wan looked out the window at the familiar scene illuminated by the street lights and said softly, "Mr. Huo, I'll be leaving first. Thank you so much for tonight."

Huo Chuyan hugged her and nodded casually.

Yu Wan pursed her lips, stood up and got out of the car, and Huo Chuyan rolled down the window.

Although it wasn't raining in Pengcheng, a cool breeze blew past, instantly blowing away the remaining warmth around her waist. Yu Wan gently closed the car door and whispered goodbye to the silhouette inside, "Mr. Huo, good night."

Huo Chuyan said softly, "Go up."

Yu Wan nodded and slowly walked up the stairs with the driver.

A few minutes later, the lights in the room came on and she stood on the balcony and waved to Huo Chuyan below, indicating that she had arrived home safely.

The driver, who had successfully completed the escort mission, got back into the car and asked, "Mr. Huo, are we going back now?"

"Yeah." Huo Chuyan raised the car window and said, "Let's go back."

The vehicle turned around and headed towards Hong Kong Island.

Yu Wan stood on the balcony, watching the car lights gradually moving away. She slowly withdrew her hand, hugged herself, turned around and walked into the house.

In order to avoid Qiao Peifeng, she did not ask the driver to take her back to Qiao's house, but returned to the place where she used to live with Yu Xinxin.

I haven't been back home for four years since I went abroad. My house is covered in dust, and due to the rainy season, it is extremely humid.

She was busy cleaning up for most of the day, and just before going to bed, she found the painting "Good Luck Stars" that she had promised to paint for Wei Size under the desk. After carefully framing it, she asked a courier company to deliver it to Wei Size late at night.

After receiving the news that the goods had been signed for, Yu Wan fell into a sleep exhausted.

The next morning, Wei Size and Qiao Peifeng's phones rang almost at the same time, and she answered Qiao Peifeng's call first.

On the other end of the phone, Qiao Peifeng said firmly, "You've returned to Pengcheng, right?"

"How did Dad know?"

"Because Wei Size is back."

A hint of sarcasm appeared on Yu Wan's lips.

Qiao Peifeng continued, "Come home for lunch at noon. Mom is waiting for you."

"Okay, I know."

After hanging up the phone, Yu Wan called Wei Size back.

The phone was quickly picked up, and the voice on the other end was cheerful and seemed to be in a good mood: "Good morning, sister."

"Good morning, Wei Shao. Did you receive the painting?"

"I called you about this. I got it. Thanks to you, my dad is very happy." It seems that he made this call after confirming that the painting was authentic.

Yu Wan responded, "The most important thing is that the birthday girl is happy. Other than that, there's nothing else I can do."

"Sister, don't underestimate yourself. I have something I want to ask you for help with."

"Ms. Mei doesn't want to show up."

Wei Size smiled and said, "How clever! My dad told me this morning that he wants you to invite Teacher Mei to attend his birthday party. If my sister can help me with this, I'd be very grateful to you."

"Mr. Wei, please don't make it difficult for me. I can still help with getting the painting, but I really can't convince Teacher Mei to show up."

Wei Size understood that this was a difficult matter, but he wasn't in a rush. "In that case, I won't make it difficult for you. I have one more thing to tell you. I've already arranged all the people you need, and our cooperation can begin."

The Qiao family's villa is located in the wealthy area of ​​Pengcheng. The buildings here are neither majestic nor luxurious. They are typical three- or four-story Western-style residences, a standard luxury villa style.

Yu Wan stood outside the iron fence and looked in. Various plants in the yard complemented each other, and the yard was full of greenery.

The loquat tree in front of the door that once guarded it like an old guard is gone, replaced by a newly planted, short pear tree. The color of the soil underground is very fresh, obviously it was transplanted recently.

She also remembered that there was an old loquat tree in the Qiao family's house that had grown to seven or eight meters tall. Falling from it was not a pleasant experience.

Since Yu Wan's adolescence, no plant in the villa has survived for more than three years.

After Qiao Peifeng turned 65, these plants could not even survive for half a year.

She was used to seeing the plants in the villa being replaced one after another, but she never thought that the old loquat tree would also be replaced.

But this is also normal, after all, this is something Qiao Peifeng can do.

Because he was madly jealous of all things that were young and full of vitality, as if seeing them could make him feel the breath of death in advance.

Smelling the stale and corrupt smell in the air, Yu Wan pushed open the fence and walked into the villa.

When the servants saw her, they were startled at first, then turned and went into the hall to report: "Master, two ladies, the fourth young lady is back."

This sudden noise caused Wen Huiying to rebuke him: "You're back, so what? Why are you making so much noise?"

Second Madam Yang Shiyu, however, retorted unconvincedly: "Big sister, what you said is too heartless. Fourth Miss hasn't been home for many years. This return is a happy occasion. It's natural for us all to be happy."

Yu Wan ignored their argument and stepped forward to bow and greet them: "Dad, Madams, good afternoon."

Wen Huiying snorted coldly, "You seem to be enjoying yourself now, but your elder brother is still suffering on Xingdao."

Yu Wan remained silent, but Yang Shiyu said with a smile, "It wasn't our Fourth Young Miss who put the Eldest Young Master in jail. I told the Madam not to make indiscriminate accusations." Wen Huiying wanted to retort, but was interrupted by Qiao Peifeng. She snorted coldly and sat back in her chair, holding her handkerchief.

Yang Shiyu laughed triumphantly.

Qiao Peifeng's two wives, one married earlier and the other later, started fighting each other before the Marriage Law was enacted, and continued to fight even after the Marriage Law was enacted, openly and covertly, without stopping. Yu Wan had been watching this drama since she was a child. The two of them disliked each other, but for various reasons they never dared to do anything easily.

However, when it came to the matter of bullying Yu Xinxin, they were surprisingly unanimous and all previous grudges were written off.
