However, in this kind of situation, no parent would want to see their daughter marry far away and suffer.

Fortunately, Shen Xiu made the right bet.

Meng Zhiwei did not let her down.

Unfortunately, there are no children to take care of him.

Their only son went to the frontier to pursue his ambitions, and they had hardly seen each other for several years.

But for the sake of the motherland and the people, the couple supported their son.

After listening to Zhong Heyang's words, Lin Ziqiu felt a lot of emotions in her heart. No wonder Aunt Shen's face changed when she saw her brother when she got off the train.

It was obvious that she didn't want to go home.

However, her morality and conscience made her choose to compromise.

If her mother had not been alive, she might never have returned to the Shen family in her life.

It’s not that her mother treats her badly, it’s that she treats her too well, so well that it suffocates her. This heavy love puts her in a dilemma.

"You're asking these questions. What happened?"

Zhong Heyang's concerned voice came.

Lin Ziqiu came back to his senses and explained, "Aunt Shen seems to be... my mother's aunt."

"what?"

Zhong Heyang exclaimed, "What on earth is going on?"

"The Shen family hasn't acknowledged me yet, but I've made a rough guess based on their behavior."

Lin Ziqiu told the truth.

Zhong Heyang frowned. This was not good news for him.

"Why don't you just not go to the birthday party? I'll take you home."

Lin Ziqiu was afraid that he would act impulsively, so she soothed him, "Forget it. I've already agreed, and I don't want to break my promise. Besides, the dishes for the birthday banquet have already been ordered. If I leave, where will they find a chef?"

Although she didn't want to return to her ancestral home, this was her mother's family after all.

Even for her mother's sake, she would hold a good birthday party.

Zhong Heyang was silent for a moment, then asked anxiously, "What are you going to do if they recognize you?"

Lin Ziqiu replied, "I'm living a good life now. Even if they are my blood relatives, they can't decide my life."

"Okay." Zhong Heyang promised calmly, "No matter who you are or where you are, as long as I'm here, no one can force you to do anything you don't like."

"Wife, don't be afraid. Don't try to persuade me to put the overall situation first and not look for you. But in my eyes, your matter is the most important matter."

Lin Ziqiu's heartstrings trembled, and he couldn't help but clench the phone receiver tightly, his eyes red. "Okay, we will advance and retreat together in everything!"

Zi Qiu made the call for half an hour.

The money I gave before was not enough. My heart was bleeding when I was giving the additional money.

At this moment, I really miss the days when I had mobile phones.

Not only can you make calls, you can also make video calls.

This is a good thing to relieve the pain of lovesickness.

Back in the room, Ruan Qing came in with some snacks she had bought. She closed the door and sat down next to Lin Ziqiu. "What's going on with Song Hui? Are you still planning on hiding this from me?"

Lin Ziqiu was slightly startled. Without thinking of hiding it from her, she said, "I never thought that my mother was the lost child of the Shen family. Aunt Shen is actually my great aunt."

"what?"

Ruan Qing jumped up from the bed. "What the hell! Isn't that in the original plot?"

"Is your original identity so awesome?"

Lin Ziqiu shrugged. "So you understand why Song Hui keeps trying to get close to me, right?"

Ruan Qing suddenly realized, "So what are you going to do? Return to your roots?"

"No, I don't want this kind of blessing." Lin Ziqiu doesn't want her life to be controlled. She has her own goals and career.

Ruan Qing didn't know the rules of the Shen family. She analyzed, "I heard that Song Hui's uncle is the president of Soochow University. Even if you don't take the college entrance examination, you can become a small wealthy woman by relying on the Shen and Song families."

"I can rely on myself, so I don't want to rely on others." Lin Ziqiu has his own principles. "Sometimes it seems that you gain something easily, but invisibly you lose more."

Ruan Qing understood these principles and reacted, "You are right. Anyway, no matter if you are Lin Ziqiu or a rich girl from some other family, I will still recognize you as my good sister."

"Anyway, I'm relying on you. Once we complete the mission, we'll leave here together."

Mentioning the mission, Lin Ziqiu's heart skipped a beat and he clenched his fingers. "Ah Qing, have you ever thought about staying here?"

Ruan Qing's face froze. "Stay here? Don't you want to leave? Don't you miss your parents?"

One lie always requires countless lies to cover it up.

Lin Ziqiu regretted not telling her the truth at the beginning, "Aqing, there is something I want to confess to you."

Ruan Qing had a bad feeling, "You...did you do anything to offend me?"

"I..." Lin Ziqiu hesitated, gritted her teeth, and decided to go for it. "I lied to you before."

"Lie to me? What did you lie to me about?"

"Actually, I don't have any mission at all, and you and I are not from the same world. I am Lin Ziqiu, and I have been reborn. And you, have traveled through a book."

Lin Ziqiu swallowed and tried to calm down. "At first, I couldn't accept that I was just a character in a book, but after all these days, I still firmly believe that this is the real world."

"I sometimes even wonder if the world you speak of is just a dream, or perhaps a different time and space? Besides giving you tasks to complete, doesn't your system provide you with any other information?"

Ruan Qing felt like his brain was about to crash.

Such a huge amount of information made her completely doubt her life.

"Dog system! Tell me! What on earth is going on?"

The system pretended to be dead and had no reaction at all.

But the more this happened, the more Ruan Qingcai felt something was wrong.

Even if the system refutes her, she will still firmly believe what she has always believed.

Now, she hesitated.

"Your mission is to capture Zhong Heyang and marry him in order to survive and leave this world. Is there a possibility that you will fail your mission and be trapped here, and the one who dies is another you in another time and space?"

At first, she did think about persuading Zhong Heyang to help Ruan Qing complete the task.

After all, at that time, she had no feelings for Zhong Heyang, and their marriage was just to clean up the mess.

But she couldn't bring herself to speak about this matter.

Because there is no explanation.

She couldn't convince Zhong Heyang.

Later, they gradually developed feelings for each other, and she became even more embarrassed.

Even if it was a fake marriage, she would still feel some resistance deep down in her heart, but if this matter really endangered a life, could they really sit idly by?

Anyway, all you need to do is get a certificate.

Get married and then divorced.

Although it is troublesome, at least it can save a life.

Lin Ziqiu felt a little guilty and ashamed for hiding something from Ruan Qing at the beginning, so whenever he thought about it, a lot of strange ideas would pop up in his mind.
