The mysterious man hung up, and he seemed even more murderous .
He looked repulsive and menacing .
“The fireworks are so beautiful,” Su Yue remarked to herself as she peered at the night sky . The smile on her face seemed to have frozen .
The last firework exploded with a huge bang in the sky .
The brilliantly colored fireworks reflected in Su Yue’s eyes, just like the dazzling and sparkling stars that are out of anyone’s reach .
No matter how splendid the fireworks were, it only lasted for a moment .
Just like youth, sorrow, and excitement—eventually, in a blink of an eye, everything would fade away .
In the end, ordinariness might prove to be a wiser option .
Jiao Chen gave a thought-provoking smile as he looked at the sky . The fireworks had all vanished; smoke was the only thing left .
But they seemed to clamor for more .
After a long while, Su Yue finally withdrew her gaze to glance at Jiao Chen . “Jiaojiao, when did you come back? I thought you went to your grandmother’s place?”
He told her before that his father’s family was living in a small city next to the capital city . It wasn’t far, but he would need to drive for at least three hours if there wasn’t any traffic .
It was the night before the Chinese New Year, and yet he was already back in the capital city . Perhaps he didn’t go back?
Jiao Chen replied, “I came here after dinner . ”
It puzzled Su Yue .
Jiao Chen knew what Su Yue was going to ask next . “In that town, they always have dinner early, usually before evening . ”
He finished dinner at 6 p . m . , and he merely wanted to take a spin . Before realizing it, he was already on the expressway back to the capital city .
On a road that he couldn’t turn back .
Since he couldn’t turn back, he simply had to follow his heart .
“Your grandmother should be delighted to see you . ”
Jiao Chen mentioned his father and his family a few times . Su Yue reckoned that they had accepted him… an illegitimate son .
When she met his sister before, she was warm and friendly . She even reminded him to go home more often even though they didn’t seem exceptionally close .
One shouldn’t merely judge a book by its cover . But her instincts were usually right .
Su Yue’s mouth curled into a tiny smile, and she gazed ahead of her .
The river looked filthy in the daytime, but at night, it seemed no different from a clean lake . A gentle breeze blew across the surface, and it made the water glitter in the dark .
Her hands were feeling cold from the brutal winds, and so she rubbed her palms together . Then she stuffed her hands into the pockets of her winter coat .
Both of them stood in silence for some time before Jiao Chen suddenly responded vaguely with an ‘oh’ .
Su Yue was stumped for a moment, before recalling the question she had asked him .
She smiled at him . “What is on your mind?”
Jiao Chen smiled back at her . “About your question . ”
His warm smile melted the chilliness of the night .
Su Yue’s head could only reach his shoulders and she needed to raise her head to look at him . She frowned, looking puzzled . “Do you even need to think?”
In the pale moonlight, the girl stood with her head raised . The guy bent his head, watching the girl intently . This scene made hearts flutter since they seemed so compatible and perfect .
Su Yue pressed her lips and muttered, “Seems like I have a really nice grandmother, too . ”
Third sister-in-law said that their grandmother was a warm and easy-going lady . She was still child-like despite her age .
But she had never met her before .
‘Ansheng’s cousin had caused your grandmother’s death…’
‘I indirectly caused her death…’
Uncle Ming’s cousin killed their beloved grandmother . Third Brother and Third sister-in-law must have hated the Ming family .
“Let’s go and eat supper,” said Jiao Chen all of a sudden .
