Chapter 66: Darling, I Miss You So Much

Everyone was engrossed in their activities. Lin Gantang intended to visit Hejiang Road to explore its bustling commercial district, which attracted a significant flow of people.

Before she could step out of the villa area, two stray cats leaped over the bushes, and the management staff was in the process of shooing them away.

Some residents in the area were not fond of these roaming cats due to hygiene concerns. Given their high property fees, the management took this matter seriously.

However, there seemed to be an increase in the number of stray cats lately.

Observing the urban plan in her hands and then casting a glance at the felines, an idea began to form in Lin Gantang’s mind.

In the end, she decided to forego her visit to Hejiang Road. Instead, she returned to her room to research cat-related matters.

Just as she was deeply immersed in her work, her phone suddenly vibrated, startling her.

It was a call from Zhang Rongqing.

The moment Lin Gantang answered, Zhang Rongqing’s voice sounded urgently on the other end, “Gantang, 1 saw your brother and Jiang Tongtong taking wedding photos. What’s going on? Are they getting married? Why haven’t 1 heard anything about this?”

“So now you know?” Lin Gantang put down her pen.

“How could this happen?!” Zhang Rongqing’s tone suddenly turned sharp. “How could you agree to their marriage? Once Zhaonan has a wife, he’ll forget about you, his sister. Will you still have any say in your family then?”

“If my brother doesn’t marry Jiang Tongtong, then Lin Zhaonan won’t marry you either,” Lin Gantang responded. “I advise you to give up. Stop dwelling on futile things.”

“Aren’t you my close sister? Why aren’t you helping me?” Zhang Rongqing sounded distressed. “What’s so great about Jiang Tongtong? She’s not a match for Zhaonan!”

“Zhang Rongqing, do you know about Hou Xiaoai’s situation?” Lin Gantang countered.

Caught off guard by the question, Zhang Rongqing hesitated for a moment. “Her?”

“Hou Xiaoai pursued Lin Zhaonan but couldn’t win his affection. She instigated her companions to harm Jiang Tongtong.” Lin Gantang’s voice turned icy, carrying a hint of warning. “They’re currently at the police station and have confessed. Zhang Rongqing, I’m sure you don’t want to join them, do you?”

“I…” Zhang Rongqing felt like a bucket of cold water had been poured over her. Her once arrogant demeanor gradually waned. “I don’t want to do anything that would harm them…”

Initially, Lin Gantang believed that Zhang Rongqing lacked the courage to commit such acts. She thought Zhang Rongqing might engage in petty, bothersome actions, relying on her wit. But she never thought Zhang Rongqing would dare to cross the line of ethical and legal boundaries.

However, recalling the incident with the skincare products, Lin Gantang suspected that Zhang Rongqing’s intentions might not have been entirely benign.

Lin Gantang reminded her, “Many people commit unlawful acts without realizing they’ve broken the law beforehand, just like Hou Xiaoai not knowing about the crime of instigation. Zhang Rongqing, remember when you instigated me to target Jiang Tongtong at every turn? You should be grateful that I didn’t succumb to your encouragement and do something irreparable.”

At this point, Zhang Rongqing wished she could retract into herself. Her tone grew weaker, “Gantang, 1 was foolish back then…”

“In that case, regarding my brother’s wedding…”

“No… I won’t go. I’ll just send a gift and not attend. My mother asked me to go to A City to accompany my great-grandma. 1 plan to head back.”

“Then 1 wish you a safe journey and please convey my regards to your great-grandmother.”

Zhang Rongqing quickly hung up the phone.

In the afternoon, Lin Zhaonan accompanied Jiang Tongtong for a prenatal checkup. When they returned, both wore blissful smiles, free from the worries of their past lives.

Lin Gantang was genuinely happy for them and felt grateful to fate for granting her another chance.

As Lin Gantang gazed at the clear sky, the sunlight made her eyes squint slightly, filling her heart with a sense of joy.

“Darling, 1 miss you so much.”

“There’s a banquet hosted by the Qin family for Qin Jiayao the day after tomorrow. Would you be my partner for the event?”

Wen Yanqing’s heart softened upon hearing Lin Gantang’s gentle and tender voice.

“I’d love to.” He responded..
