Weiwei's recovery was surprisingly quick.
Apart from her rosy cheeks and a slightly odd way of walking, you could hardly tell from her other actions what she had just been through.
"She didn't say much, just told the two of us that the guests had arrived."
"And, she came and went using the outdoor staircase."
Lin Yu said, pointing towards the stairs.
With Xia Yiwei's cleverness, she couldn't possibly miss the implication in Lin Yu's words.
Xia Yiwei looked towards the staircase with a hint of surprise.
Soon after,
a displeased expression returned to her face as she muttered,
"She thinks she's got leverage over us now, doesn't she? She's going to use this to threaten me later!"
"I don't believe for a second she has any good intentions. She definitely wants to cause trouble for me in the future."
Lin Yu: "..."
It seemed he had overthought it.
The conflict between these two women.
How could it be resolved quickly just because of his hint?
...
Not long after,
Lin Yu and Xia Yiwei came downstairs.
"Aunt Lan, you... what brings you here?"
Seeing the woman sitting at the round table, Xia Yiwei exclaimed in surprise.
Hearing the form of address, looking at the woman's seat, and then at Lei Siren's expression,
Lin Yu instantly understood what was going on!
Damn...
The older generation really doesn't hold back when they make a move!
Old Xia's move is too ruthless!
He actually brought Lei Siren's mother here directly!
No wonder Old Xia could answer so calmly and confidently when faced with Weiwei's accusations earlier.
He even promised he would definitely get justice for his daughter.
Just think,
what could be more devastating than exposing a son's scandal right in front of his own mother?
This is too intense!
Lin Yu couldn't wait to see how this "Aunt Lan" would handle the big revelation of her son's misdeeds later.
Clearly,
Weiwei, who was exchanging greetings with "Aunt Lan," also understood her father's intention.
While chatting with Aunt Lan, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl upwards.
She was overjoyed inside!
"Weiwei, introduce Xiao Yu to your Aunt Lan."
"It's Aunt Lan's first time meeting him, so it's better for you to do the introduction yourself."
Hong Lan looked at Lin Yu, a flicker of doubt in her eyes.
She vaguely sensed something was off about the atmosphere.
Especially after seeing her son's defeated look, it became even more hard to believe.
For Lin Yu, an outsider, to appear at Xia Zhenfeng's "family dinner,"
he must have a direct connection with someone here!
Is Xia Zhenfeng an ordinary man?
How could just anyone be invited to his home?
And among the people present, the only one who could possibly be connected to Lin Yu
seemed to be Xia Yiwei!
Xia Zhenfeng even asked Xia Yiwei to make the introduction herself, the hint was already clear enough.
Could this young man and Weiwei be...?
Hong Lan had a rough guess in her heart, but she found it a bit hard to believe.
Mainly because...
Lin Yu looked so young!
Weiwei likes this type of young guy?
Immediately after,
Xia Yiwei excitedly linked arms with Lin Yu and introduced,
"Aunt Lan, let me formally introduce you, this..."
"is my boyfriend, Lin Yu!"
"We had a meal with Lei Siren together before, so he already knows him."
Hong Lan: "!!!"
Fortunately, Hong Lan was a woman of the world.
No matter how shocked she was inside, she maintained a calm and composed exterior.
She walked up to Lin Yu and said with a smile,
"Good, very good, what a fine young man."
"I've watched Weiwei grow up, and this is the first time I've heard she has a boyfriend."
"Xiao Lin, you must treat Weiwei well, and never let my dear niece down!"
Lin Yu inwardly admired her.
The composure of the wealthy is truly impressive.
Even with such a major development, she could act as if nothing was wrong.
Lin Yu nodded politely in agreement,
"Don't worry, Aunt Lan, I will definitely not let Weiwei down."
After the exchange of greetings,
Hong Lan turned and glanced at Lei Siren.
With a look only the two of them could see, she fully conveyed her fury.
Lei Siren naturally understood his mother's meaning.
It clearly said:
How could you not tell me about something as big as Xia Yiwei having a boyfriend?
His initial attempts to get close to Xia Yiwei were even subtly encouraged by his mother in the first place.
Now, faced with such a drastic change of events, how could Lei Siren possibly have the face to bring it up?
he colors of other people’s emotions. Light red meant anxiety. Gray meant exhaustion. Orange meant excitement. Yellow... meant repression. At the same time, he could gain unlimited control over one of those colors. Pale cyan: relaxation. Using this ability, he started offering “two-yuan hugs,” spending an afternoon exchanging emotional-color experiences with others. Then came his final female customer of the day— a girl whose emotional color was pure black... —— A week later, Xu Chuan had become skilled at using pale cyan—Relaxation—treating it like a bottle of menthol balm whenever he needed it. That was when he discovered he had unlocked another unlimited emotional color: Purple, the color of fear. So these emotional colors refresh every week? Fine, I take it back—I’ll never call you useless again... —— Much later, after Xu Chuan had accumulated countless emotional abilities, one night, he suddenly found himself inside someone else’s dream. There, he could use the emotional colors he possessed to paint. And in her dream, he painted her a shower of pink shooting stars, spreading across the depths of the night sky...

No matter whether it was poison, drained blood and vital energy, diminished lifespan, or any other physical debuff caused by paying a price—once midnight passed, everything would be refreshed. From then on, whenever someone asked what kind of person Chu Ran was, the answer was simple: Forbidden arts that other cultivators dared not learn? Chu Ran would learn them. Prices that even demonic cultivators dared not pay? Chu Ran would pay them. Lifespan that even righteous cultivators dared not burn? Chu Ran would burn it. All the blood essence in his body? Take it. Want both his hands and feet? He would cut them off and send them to you. You say he’s finished? He wasn’t built to sit idle. You think he’s gone mad? No—he was simply waiting for midnight. From that day onward, Chu Ran would respect neither Heaven nor Earth, bow to neither gods nor ghosts. He had only one wish: For midnight to arrive a little sooner.
