In the Qian Family Garden.

The bright river of stars reflected on the riverside. The quiet night was so beautiful and moving.

However, Qian Lingyou, sitting by the river, had tons of confusion in his heart. It was not easy to cut his confusion with a knife.

Good things never went out while bad things traveled fast. His quarrel with Murong Xiao spread throughout the Murong Family and Qian Family in the afternoon. What he received from all directions was curiosity, reminder, or warning, which made him overwhelmed. He did not have the strength to deal with them.

He suddenly began to miss the days he spent with Tang Xiaoxiao half a month ago. There was always an indescribable tacit between them, just like how he and Murong Xiao did in the past. But now...

Was it he who had changed? Or was it she who had lost her memory, blinded her eyes, and lost her mind?

He thought about it and could not help but call the person in charge of Luo City.

"Young Master! Is that you?" Meiying said excitedly.

This excitement was almost the same as Murong Xiao's. Qian Lingyou was so scared that he almost hung up the phone. Thinking of what he wanted to ask, he asked seriously, "How is Tang Xiaoxiao recently?"

"What?"

Meiying suspected that she heard wrong. Her boss' phone must have been stolen. How long had it been? He had found Murong Xiao. But he was still thinking about that peasant girl. This must be a joke.

"What's wrong? Did something happen to her?" Qian Lingyou's heart skipped a beat. It was as if someone had hit him hard with a small hammer, causing him to tremble in pain.

Something happened to her?

Meiying pursed her lips. She wanted something to happen to her, but the woman seemed to have disappeared.

"She..." Meiying was a little embarrassed. How should she explain it to Qian Lingyou? She did not follow his instructions and sent people to protect Tang Xiaoxiao.

"Don't tell me you don't know," A hint of undisguised anger rose in Qian Lingyou's voice.

"I...Didn't you already find Miss Murong and get engaged to her? Why do you care about Tang Xiaoxiao? Aren't you afraid that Miss Murong will be angry? Even if she is not angry, this is wrong. How can you get engaged to one girl while thinking about another?" Without giving Qian Lingyou a chance, Meiying began to blabber on.

She rolled her eyes and added, "Moreover, she has accepted the money you gave her. This can be considered as the end between you and her, right?"

"Did she accept the money?"

This surprised Qian Lingyou.

Although he prepared such a card, in his mind, according to Tang Xiaoxiao's bad temper, it would be good if she saw the card and did not scold him. But she accepted it.

This was too...

"Yes," Anyway, she sent a delivery to Tang Xiaoxiao's company. The delivery status showed it had been signed and accepted. So, she acquiesced she had received it! What was the problem? This logic was perfectly rigorous, wasn't it?

"Are you sure?" Qian Lingyou couldn't help but ask again. It wasn't that he didn't trust his assistant. Would Tang Xiaoxiao take the money and stay away from him?

"I'm sure!" Meiying spoke quickly with a high voice as if persuading Qian Lingyou and hypnotizing herself.

Her resolute and decisive tone made Qian Lingyou fall into a trance. Based on his intuition, he could not accept it no matter what.

But...

"I understand. Then let those people continue to protect her until she finds a new boyfriend," Qian Lingyou thought about it and added. No matter what, he was the one who let her down, so let him silently do something for her.

Continue to protect?

She didn't send anyone in the first place! Meiying secretly sneered in her heart. She didn't know if she had lied too much. She didn't even need to think about telling lies.

"Yes, Young Master. But Miss Tang doesn't seem to need our protection. Not long after she left here, she entered a hotel with Young Master Shen and didn't come out for a long time."

"I see..."

Her words were like another ruthless stab directly piercing his heart. The lights in front of Qian Lingyou couldn't help but dim a little.

"I know."

"Also, Young Master, I think I need to remind you. As your most loyal subordinate, since you have already made up with Miss Murong, shouldn't you focus all your attention on your fiancée? Tang Xiaoxiao is just a woman who slept with you before. It's over. There's nothing to care about, isn't there?"

"What?"

Qian Lingyou put the phone in front of his eyes and wondered if he heard wrong. What was this woman talking about?

"Aren't I right? You should focus on your business. Our shipments are leaving next month. There must be a limit to the time we spent on relationships. We should know the situation. Why is Tang Xiaoxiao worth your attention? I think there is no need to protect her! It is a waste of manpower resources," The more Meiying spoke, the more she felt what she said was reasonable. Her aura was full as if ruling the country.

Her head was raised too high, and her eyes were rolling up, so much so that she did not notice that everyone was looking at her with a very horrified look.

Other Qian Family members who stayed in the capital thought, "Oh my god! Is Sister Meiying crazy?"

"Enough!"

"Meiying, have you recovered?" Seeing her lowering Tang Xiaoxiao further, Qian Lingyou finally couldn't restrain his anger and directly scolded her.

Meiying was stunned, and a shy look appeared on her face.

Ah?

Young Master asked her if her injuries have healed.

Was he concerned about her? Then, could she use this as a pretext to request to return?

"Not yet. The weather here is so dry," Meiying pinched her throat and complained.

"Really? Then I'll find a good place for you to recuperate," Qian Lingyou said lightly. There was no joy or anger in his calm voice.

Meiying was overjoyed. Her two hands holding the phone were trembling.

"Yes."

Qian Lingyou, who heard her pretentious voice, almost threw his phone away.

"Speak properly!"

"Go lie down before you recover. Don't meddle in other people's business."

"Forget it. I won't punish you for your father's sake. I will arrange for someone to replace you. From today on, you can retire early and live a life others envy. Go to the island and recuperate," As Qian Lingyou spoke, he gestured for his assistant to book a ticket for Meiying. He no longer wanted to come into contact with any information about this woman in his world.

"Island?"

Meiying had not yet woken up from the beautiful blueprint she planned out and subconsciously murmured Qian Lingyou's words.

"Yes, don't you think Luo City is dry? Then go to ADN Island. With a Mediterranean climate over, I guarantee it won't be dry. Alright, that's it. Next time, if you have any problems, you can go directly to my grandfather. Yes, you didn't hear wrong. Go directly to the family head."

Meiying was the daughter of the old butler serving Qian Fengyi. The old butler once saved him. (Qian Fengyi: Qian Family's current family head, Qian Lingyou's grandfather) Moreover, the old butler was Qian Family's loyal servant and contributed a lot to Qian Family. Therefore, even if Qian Lingyou was angered to death, he could not kill Meiying directly.

After all. Although looking for trouble, she did not violate any family interests. The first family rule was that collective interests were far more important than personal ones.

Dududu—

After confirming that he had made it clear, Qian Lingyou quickly hung up the phone and walked toward Qian Family's main building. Although he had the authority to arrange Meiying, he had to inform his grandfather.

He didn't care whether Meiying wanted to stay on the island. But he did not want to see her again.

He didn't need to be liked by such a woman. What he wanted was just a mutual relationship.

Thinking of his initial thoughts, he suddenly felt himself quite shameful.

Meiying was right about one thing. Since he had Murong Xiao, he should cherish it.

But...

Probably, he was also a jerk.

He thought, "Tang Xiaoxiao, what am I to you?"

"Since you hate me, why didn't you contact me? Even if you scolded me, it would be good."

(Because his mobile phone had not been closed for a long time, there was no text message notification about missed calls on his mobile phone. So he did not know Tang Xiaoxiao had called him several times. As for himself, he was too embarrassed to take the initiative. He was guilty, afraid, and complicated inside.)

...

"I already know about Meiying. Uncle Feng told me. You don't have to worry about it anymore. It's impossible to go to the island. How can a little girl be so far away? Not to mention that Uncle Feng only has one daughter. Since she's not suitable to stay by your side, she can stay in the old house and accompany those aunts," Lord said with some emotion.

Back then, he placed Meiying by Qian Lingyou's side because he wanted to continue his and Uncle Feng's deep relationship. It was fortunate to have a capable assistant by his side who could entrust their backs to each other.

But...

Alright, he should not ignore the gender, nor should he underestimate the charm of his grandson. Women blinded by love were not smart. This was understandable.

"I will listen to grandfather's arrangements."

"What about you? What are your plans recently? I heard from Murong Fu that you don't intend to get married this year."

"Yes, I think it was too hasty," Qian Lingyou answered honestly. In front of his master, there was nothing to hide, "I need time to prepare for the marriage. After all, this is a matter of a lifetime, Murong Xiao...Grandpa, do you think a person who has lost her memory will become another person?"

"You asked me?"

The Lord rolled his eyes.

"Are you in love or I?"

"I don't know what will happen if one loses his memory. Your grandmother has never lost her memory. But there is one thing I can tell you. Love follows the heart, not people. Do you like a person or not? Just ask your heart."

"I understand."

"I plan to go abroad for a while."

Qian Lingyou lowered his eyes and thought for a moment before speaking.

"Now? Are you sure?"

"Many coastlines are about to open. Our goods are almost ready. One company reserved a large number of goods. I am a little worried. I plan to follow up personally."

Hearing this, the Lord was stunned for a moment. Then, he took the PAD from his assistant and put on his reading glasses.

After looking through it for a long time, he saw the summary of the documents in the second half of the year. Indeed, two receipts the next month and the month after that were big enough for Qian Family's future successor to show up.

In addition, he was about to retire and pass the family head to Qian Lingyou. The young family head also needed to give a good answer to welcome the first examination in his life.

"Since that's the case, you can go."

"Okay, Grandpa. As for the Murong family."

Thinking of his hysterical fiancee, Qian Lingyou instinctively resisted and did not want to get close.

Seeing his grandson in a hard position, the Lord glared at him unhappily, "Alright, alright. I'll speak for you on the other side. Are you going to get married or am I?"

Qian Lingyou did not get angry even though he was disliked. He smiled and handed over the fan the Lord had thrown on his body. He replied warmly, "It's true I'm the one looking for a wife. But you are the one who wants to have a great-grandson."

The Lord, "..."
