Zhan Yiyang smiled foolishly again.
After the two lingered for a while, Du Yumeng went to work. She took advantage of Zhan Yiyang’s inattention and pulled out her phone from under the folder.
She didn’t let Zhan Yiyang know that she had deliberately left her phone behind earlier.
Du Yumeng threw herself back into work. Zhan Yiyang secretly took a photo of her working seriously, then posted it on his social circle with the caption, “This is the mother of my future children.”
Soon, his brothers liked the post and asked if he had successfully won her over.
Zhan Yiyang proudly replied to his brothers, “Mengmeng agreed to be my girlfriend.”
His brothers responded, “Until the marriage certificate is in hand, anything could change.”
Zhan Yiyang grumbled to himself that it was Lao Wu and the others who hadn’t succeeded in their pursuits, jealous of him, which was why they said such things.
He was devoted to his feelings, and Yumeng was the same. Since they truly loved each other, it was for a lifetime. Getting married and obtaining a certificate was just a matter of time.
Zhan Yiyang not only flaunted his success in pursuing his wife on his social circle but also eagerly announced his relationship with Du Yumeng in Haicheng.
He made a promise of lifelong fidelity.
He was a man of his word.
After he announced his relationship with Du Yumeng, people in Haicheng noticed that the fourth young master of the Zhan family began to pay attention to pomp. He went out with a group of bodyguards, all tall, sharp-eyed, and serious-looking.
It was clear they were skilled. They weren’t just protecting Zhan Yiyang but also preventing young women from approaching him.
Everyone understood that the fourth young master wasn’t showing off but, like his eldest brother, bringing bodyguards to protect his integrity, leaving no chance for any young woman other than Du Yumeng.
Zhan Yiyang and Du Yumeng confirmed their relationship, and Zhan Yuan and Ouyang Ya had met each other’s parents, solidifying their bond.
Only Lao Wu hadn’t brought a girlfriend home yet, but he said he was in a relationship. His girlfriend felt their relationship wasn’t deep enough to talk about marriage, so she wasn’t ready to meet his parents.
Haitong, during her confinement, passed the boring time by listening to gossip about her brothers-in-law.
Her child was taken care of by Zhan Yin, and even she herself was well looked after by him.
Her sister said that during her confinement, her complexion became much rosier, a clear sign she was well cared for and recovering quickly.
During her confinement, Shang Xiaofei and Junran’s wedding date was set for half a month after she completed her confinement.
Haitong also heard a piece of gossip: Ning Siqi, who had appeared before her as Mrs. Long, had fled.
She completely left Guancheng.
She cut off contact with everyone who knew her, leaving only a letter for her younger brother.
That letter ended up in Ning Yunchu’s hands, revealing what kind of life she had lived over the past two years.
In the letter, she told her brother that she would never be sisters with Ning Yunchu, even though they were biological sisters.
If it weren’t for Ning Yunchu and Haitong, she wouldn’t have become Mr. Long’s pawn, suffering grievances, getting hurt, and losing a child.
She also resented her parents and her brother, blaming her parents for handing over the family fortune to her brother.
She resented her brother for trusting their eldest sister more. She and her brother were full siblings, yet he didn’t take her side.
Ning Yunchu showed little reaction. She had long known that reconciliation with her sister was impossible. Not only did Ning Siqi hate her, but she also hated Ning Siqi.
Except for her brother, Ning Yunchu no longer cared about anyone in the Ning family.
Not long after, Mr. Long secretly came to Guancheng, thinking no one knew, unaware that the Su family was watching him.
Haitong and others analyzed the motives of Ning Siqi and Mr. Long. After confirming Mr. Long’s identity, they guessed it was related to Long Ting.
It was also connected to Yangyang.
Since Yangyang and Long Ting were friends, they likely wanted to use Yangyang to confirm Long Ting’s identity.
Xu Siqi escaped from Guancheng, reportedly after seducing the two bodyguards assigned to her. Their supervision slackened, and she seized the opportunity to flee with her gold, silver, and jewels.
