Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

When Qin Hanqiu came out, he didn’t dare to look at Qin Ran.

“Lawyer Qi, are the things you said true? They will be paying for Xiao Ling’s?” He could only talk to Qi Chengjun. “There isn’t anything for me to settle?”

He didn’t expect the problem to be resolved so simply.

Qi Chengjun packed up the documents. He paused for a while as he looked at him and then replied, “That’s because you don’t have any assets.”

Qin Hanqiu was speechless.

As Qi Chengjun had to settle other matters, he didn’t speak much to Qin Hanqiu. He said goodbye to him before heading off.

It was only when he left that Qin Hanqiu dared to look at Lu Zhaoying.

Lu Zhaoying smiled and tried to make the situation less awkward. “Let’s go to Mingyue’s uncle’s place. It’s time for lunch, anyway.”

“Not for me,” Qin Ran said as she shook her head. She was used to it, anyway. She then nonchalantly said, “I’m here to visit my grandma. I will be leaving after visiting her.”

She was here on emergency notice. As the laboratory was newly set up, she had to be there.

Qin Hanqiu only dared to look at her after what she said. He proposed. “Let me come along as well.”

Chen Shulan liked Qin Hanqiu a lot when she was still around. Qin Ran knew that her grandma would be happy if he came along.

Since she left Yun Cheng, Qin Ran and Cheng Juan would go make offerings to Chen Shulan every new year. They would also pay their respect to the base.

Lu Zhaoying had never been there before. Since Qin Ran was going this time, he was going as well. He even invited Pan Mingyue.

Hence, the group that was going to visit Chen Shulan became five people.

Chen Shulan’s grave was taken care of every year. Qin Ran didn’t bring any flowers or anything else. She just stood silently in front of her grave.

When she came over with Cheng Juan, she would just stay there without saying a word. Cheng Juan would then talk to Grandma as he cleaned the grave.

Sometimes he would even involve Qin Ran in the conversation.

However, Lu Zhaoying and the rest weren’t as daring as Cheng Juan. If Qin Ran was silent, they were going to be silent as well.

When the Pan family’s matters were resolved, the graves of Pan Mingyue’s parents were shifted here as well.

Pan Mingyue then brought Lu Zhaoying to visit their graves.

Qin Ran would go visit the graves of Pan Mingyue’s parents when she came to visit Chen Shulan.

However, as Pan Mingyue was bringing Lu Zhaoying this time, Qin Ran didn’t tag along. She went to the mountain base after she was done visiting Chen Shulan.

“Dad, Mom, I’m Lu Zhaoying.” Lu Zhaoying kneeled in front of their graves.

He then bowed, kowtowed, and said, “I’m so sorry to visit you guys so late...”

Lu Zhaoying then rambled on for a while before finally saying, “Our wedding is on the 20th of September. Don’t need to worry, I will take good care of Mingyue.”

...

When they left, Lu Zhaoying, Pan Mingyue, and Qin Hanqiu went to say goodbye to Pan Mingyue’s uncle. Qin Hanqiu then hurried back to the capital.

“Aunt, are you not going to come along with us to the capital?” Lu Zhaoying asked Uncle’s family again as they were leaving.

He knew that Pan Mingyue couldn’t bear to leave them behind.

As a matter of fact, they were her only relatives left.

“No need for that. We will head over to help you guys closer to the wedding,” Uncle said as he smoked his cigarette. He then looked at them and said, “We’ll head over when your brother returns.”

The entire family then followed Lu Zhaoying’s and Shi Liming’s cars to the edge of the village. They stood there even after the car was far away.

When they returned to the house, only three people were left. It felt so empty.

“That’s enough, let’s not be sad anymore.” Uncle snuffed out the cigarette. He looked at his wife and said, “We should plan what to get for her dowry.”

“Oh, right.” Aunt realized and exclaimed, “Have you called Pan Ji? The Lu family looks to be rich. The Jin family told me that his car wasn’t something that you can get just because you’re rich. We’ll have to give an appropriate dowry for their wedding.”

As she thought about it, Aunt started to frown.

She didn’t know how Lu Zhaoying’s parents were like and whether they would get along even though Xiao Lu looked to be a kind kid.

The family was worried that Pan Mingyue would be bullied if the dowry wasn’t substantial enough. They started to plan about what to get for her.

It was going to be used for her wedding.

Even though her parents weren’t around anymore, Uncle was still here.

“Cousin’s dowry?” Pan Ji was shocked after hearing what his mom said. “Xiangxiang is still young. We should focus on Mingyue.”

Pan Ji saw Mother Pan when he was young. Even though he didn’t know who she was, he had seen her quite a few times.

Every time they met, she would ask him to be a model. She would even reward him with sweets.

Since she would get other kids to pose for her photos, Pan Ji didn’t think too much into it.

It was only after a while that he found out she was his aunt.

Since his only cousin was going to get married, he had to fork in for her dowry. Since Pan Xiangxiang was still single, they didn’t need to care about her.

“The groom seems to be rich,” Uncle said worriedly. “Xiao Ji, what should we do if the dowry is too low-class?”

Xiao Lu’s car cost so much that he would never be capable of buying it in his lifetime.

However, their worries didn’t last much longer.

On the 16th of September, the Jin family came.

“I’ve heard that Xiao Ji was going to fork into Mingyue’s dowry. I feel that I should contribute as her aunt-in-law.” Mother Jin passed a box to Aunt.

The box was big. Aunt opened it and saw that the objects inside were made of gold.

There were two bracelets, two necklaces, a pair of rings, and a golden buddha.

Aunt knew how much those cost and estimated that it must have cost millions. The golden buddha was too expensive.

She immediately rejected them.

“I’m giving this to Mingyue, anyway. Xiao Jin is her sister-in-law. It’s normal to contribute to her dowry.” Mother Jin got up and didn’t allow Aunt to reject her. “When are you guys leaving for the capital?”

Aunt could only accept it. She made a mental note to return the favor in the future.

“Tomorrow,” Aunt replied.

There were a ton of things to prepare before the wedding. Uncle’s family wanted to go earlier to help Pan Mingyue with it.

“You guys can go first. Tell me if you need anything. We’ll be glad to help. We will be arriving on the 19th,” Mother Jin said smilingly.

The next day, on the 17th of September, they arrived at the capital.
