"Aren’t all these specialties from Sea City? Do you still have friends in Sea City? Could it be your little sister-in-law?" Lian Qingyang asked a string of questions, recognizing the items from Sea City.
If he remembered correctly, there was a cousin or a second cousin of Brother-in-law in Sea City.
"No." Tang Yue was about to introduce her when she saw Xie Ziyao staring wide-eyed at Lian Qingyang. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢
"Ziyao, this is my brother, Lian Qingyang." Tang Yue introduced, then she introduced to Lian Qingyang: "She is Xie Ziyao, a student from the school."
"I know."
Lian Qingyang nodded and said, "It’s a small world, isn’t it? I just saw you a few days ago, and I didn’t realize you’re friends with Sister Xiao Yue."
"Xiao Yue, are you guys cousins?" Xie Ziyao couldn’t help but ask.
"No, I’m actually Xiao Yue’s biological brother." Lian Qingyang hurriedly clarified, although not from the same mother, having the same father still made them real siblings.
At least half of their blood is the same.
"Biological brother?" Xie Ziyao was baffled and denied, "Impossible, the day my second brother got engaged, why didn’t Xiao Yue attend?"
"Because, Sister Xiao Yue went back to her mother’s home." Lian Qingyang explained clearly, saying: "Besides, Sister Xiao Yue was busy with the factory’s affairs, she had no time to go."
Even if it’s about going back to the Lian Family, it was explained this way, Grandpa and Dad are aware of what Tang Yue does, and at the end of the year, there’s always extra work to do, not to mention that Tang Yue had just returned from abroad. Although Grandpa Lian wanted Tang Yue to come, he reconsidered as it was only an engagement, not a wedding.
Thinking this way, they didn’t press Tang Yue to come.
"Tang Yue, aren’t you a Tang? Why are you suddenly related to the Lian family?" Xie Ziyao thought about what she had just said and suddenly felt... embarrassed.
"That..." Tang Yue found it difficult to explain in a few words, she said, "Lian Qingyang and I don’t have the same mom."
Xie Ziyao instantly understood, recalling what she had just said, and quickly pulled Tang Yue aside and said, "Xiao Yue, that matter concerning Lian Qingqing, I really didn’t mean..."
"Ziyao, you don’t have to say it, whatever you told me, I’ll take it to the grave." Tang Yue looked at Xie Ziyao’s urgent expression, turned aside, and said, "Whatever you just told me, I’ve already forgotten."
Tang Yue playfully blinked her eyes, showing her stance through her actions.
Xie Ziyao quietly sighed in relief, found an excuse, and left; staying any longer, she felt extremely awkward.
"What’s with her, guilt over something?" Lian Qingyang watched her flee and wondered if Xie Ziyao was too shocked by the news.
Was it really that shocking that he and Sister Xiao Yue are biological siblings?
"Don’t talk nonsense." Tang Yue glared at him and asked, "Is my wedding gift too shabby?"
Lian Qingqing probably wouldn’t like it.
"It’s quite nice, I only gave a set of jewelry myself." Lian Qingyang said this, acknowledging that the bracelet had slightly displeased Grandpa, but he defended it.
Sister Xiao Yue, now also a busy person and although she returned to the Lian Family, Sister Xiao Yue’s money was all hard-earned by herself. Given their awkward relationship now, her giving such a bracelet already showed great consideration.
After all, the gifts from Tang Yue’s side had never been so generous before.
Lian He also spoke for Tang Yue, and Grandpa Lian naturally understood, saying, "Qingqing and Xiao Yue are always sisters, as her father, you should let them develop their relationship."
Relationships are nurtured, he dared say that if it was Lian Qingyang getting engaged, even if Tang Yue had major issues, she would have rushed over.
But Lian Qingqing and Tang Yue had really not spent much time together, let alone gotten close. Over the years, it was the Lian Family who owed Tang Yue, her sending a bracelet was already commendable.
With this gift, even Old Sir Lian had no objections, Lian Qingqing’s side dared not complain either.
"You said it yourself that you are stupid, it’s not me who’s saying it." Qin Anhao smiled and sat down next to Xie Ziyao; the sunlight was just right, and the bench was quite comfortable under the sun, he asked, "What silly thing did you do?"
"I..." Xie Ziyao was about to speak, but then remembered that Qin Anhao and Meng Siyu were close, and this matter couldn’t be divulged.
Besides, embarrassing events were something Xie Ziyao would keep deeply hidden in her heart, not something to tell others.
"Humph."
Xie Ziyao lowered her head, regretting internally.
"Why didn’t I see you by this lakeside before?" Qin Anhao asked.
Peace Lake wasn’t big, but it was peaceful, and Qin Anhao liked to stroll here when he had free time.
"Do you think this lake is yours?" Xie Ziyao was like a prickly hedgehog at the moment.
"Alright, I won’t ask."
Qin Anhao indeed kept his mouth shut.
The two sat side by side, basking in the warm sun, Xie Ziyao couldn’t sit still and asked, "Why are you not talking?"
"Qin Anhao, you are of such age, how come you don’t have a girlfriend?" Xie Ziyao looked at Qin Anhao from the corner of her eye, he actually looked quite handsome, not as striking as Meng Siyu’s cool demeanor, but Qin Anhao gave a warm vibe.
"You little girl, why do you care so much." Qin Anhao didn’t want to hear about this topic.
He did want to find a girlfriend, but it’s not like shopping for cabbage, where you can just switch one for another or pick any at random.
