Chapter 99: Chapter 99

The big house next door was noisy and quarrelsome; tonight was destined to be a sleepless night.

In the second house, a family of four sat at the dining table in the small hall, mainly discussing Tian Chenhui’s poor choice of friends and Tian Chuying’s harm to Tian Xiang.

This time Tian Chuying was really excessive, in short, a private settlement was impossible, and it depended on how the police station handled it.

Then there was Tian Chenhui. From now on, he must sever ties with those so-called buddies, stop associating with those dubious people, move out directly, and act as if this son doesn’t exist in the future.

Previously when these things were brought up, Tian Chenhui always looked impatient, verbally agreed, but never took it seriously.

This time, he sat obediently, agreeing with everything Hu Honglian said with a simple "hmm."

After the family meeting ended, Tian Chenhui went out of his way to find his sister and apologize.

He felt he held substantial responsibility for this incident, knowing full well that Lu Weihua was trouble but still introducing him to his sister.

He was being arrogant, thinking that person truly regarded him as a friend and wouldn’t misbehave, but who could have imagined he meant nothing to the other person?

Tian Chenhui: "I get it now, I won’t mess around anymore."

Tian Xiang stared at her second brother’s forehead; after this incident, his character tag had changed, the little villain and street loafer were gone, now he was supporting role 36.

Well, it’s good to learn a lesson from experience.

Tian Xiang: "Alright, second brother, I believe you, go rest."

Tian Chenhui also smiled, nodded, and went up to the attic.

In the west room, Hu Honglian and her husband were also whispering.

Hu Honglian hadn’t found the opportunity to bring up the Meng family matters to her husband yet.

Being a matter concerning their daughter’s lifelong happiness, this definitely needed a good discussion with her husband.

Meng Cheng’an’s background was unexpected, leaving Tian Weibing silent as he sat in front of the small desk.

The young man brought their daughter back last night, stayed for a while, ate a bowl of noodles, and Tian Weibing had observed him earnestly and felt he was quite decent.

He had a remarkable presence even with scars on his face; being tall, he suits their precious daughter.

He also has a good job, works in the same factory as the daughter, and they could help each other if anything happens, which would be wonderful!

Who could have thought...?

Tian Weibing: "What does Xiangxiang say about this? They aren’t in a relationship yet, right?"

Hu Honglian: "Xiangxiang said they aren’t, I don’t exactly understand, but she also mentioned that if there’s someone better, she would consider."

Hu Honglian wasn’t sure if her daughter was seeing the Meng family’s son.

Sigh, a grown son or daughter with someone they like means a mother’s position diminishes in their heart.

Tian Weibing: "Since she’s willing to consider, help her find someone well; Xiangxiang still knows what’s important when it comes to major issues."

Searching is definitely necessary, but finding someone better than Meng Cheng’an, given his standing, would not be easy.

The next day, Hu Honglian went out after breakfast to find Granny Liu at the Convenience Store near the bridge.

She wasn’t originally from Red Fifth Street, and Granny Liu was the only matchmaker she knew for now.

Granny Liu still felt a bit awkward when she saw her.

After what happened with Lu Feng last time, she really felt embarrassed.

But she genuinely didn’t know about that situation; if she had been aware of Lu Feng’s ties with the widow, no amount of money would have made her take on that task, tarnishing her reputation!

Granny Liu invited Hu Honglian to her workstation, offering tea and peanuts as refreshments.

After hearing her explanation, Hu Honglian did not hold a grudge. After all, her daughter’s future marriage still needed her help for introductions.

Upon learning that Tian Xiang wanted to find a match, Granny Liu patted her chest, "Sister Honglian, don’t worry about this matter, you can leave it to me."

Tian Xiang was currently the most sought-after young lady from Sanli Lane, and she was well-liked on Red Fifth Street. Once the news got out, many would certainly come rushing; the matchmaking fee would be a certainty for her.

Hu Honglian: "There’s nothing much else, except this person must meet with me first, before going to meet my daughter."

Granny Liu’s smile froze for a moment but soon understood, considering Tian Xiang was not the same as half a year ago.

"Alright, I’ll privately arrange this matter for you."

Tian Xiang had no idea that Hu Honglian was urgently trying to find a match for her.

Next day back at work was rare as Feng Rui and Qu Yingchun had also come, and Liu Huai held a small meeting for the four, commending Tian Xiang and Chen Yong for participating in the rescue operation.

After the meeting, Liu Huai called Tian Xiang out, telling her to go to the police station regarding the case they were looking for her.

Tian Xiang nodded, went back to pack her things, and headed over.

This time at the police station, the investigator briefed her on the current investigation progress of the case.

Based on the existing evidence and testimonies, Tian Chuying was highly suspected as the main offender. Since she didn’t cause substantial harm to Tian Xiang, this case did not escalate to a criminal level; it would end with detention, after which the situation would be reported to their respective workplaces for further education and related disciplinary action.

Tian Xiang had anticipated this result.

The police officer went on, "The suspect wishes to settle privately, she’s here; do you want to have a word?"

Tian Xiang: "Who is it?"

If it had been Lu Weihua, she certainly wouldn’t meet, but with Tian Chuying, Tian Xiang thought for a moment and decided to meet.

She sensed something else was involved that day, and some things weren’t clear from Tian Chuying.

The investigator left, and shortly after Tian Chuying came in.

Getting involved in such matters and being the main suspect, Tian Chuying had a miserable time these past two days.

The textile factory had already suspended her work, and her termination was highly likely; only the unresolved case kept them from concluding it.

She hadn’t been in that job for long, hadn’t even warmed her seat, and now it was ruined.

Tian Chuying’s dark circles were heavy, and she looked haggard; she directly asked Tian Xiang, "What would it take for you to settle this privately?"

Currently, her family had stopped supporting her, leaving her to handle these matters on her own.

Tian Xiang didn’t answer but asked, "Was there something else that night?"

She actually leaned more towards believing Lu Weihua was the main suspect, yet current evidence pointed to Tian Chuying.

Tian Chuying: "I can’t talk about that night, if I do, my life is over." She could forget about marrying Lu Feng.

Tian Xiang frowned, "In that case, there’s nothing more for us to discuss."

Tian Xiang prepared to leave.

Tian Chuying grabbed her, "Sister, I won’t fight you anymore, I’ll treat you as a real sister. If we’re like before, please help me this time."

Tian Xiang: "Without a single truth from you, and you still call me sister, that’s just absurd."

This person changed ever since rebirth.

Tian Chuying opened her mouth, internally struggling, and finally said, "If you let me go this time, anything you want to know about the past, I’ll tell you. Rest assured, I haven’t told anyone but you about those things..."
