In Country J, the temperature is still very low.
Song Zhixing got off the plane without even a simple baggage except for her passport. She stood at the airport, recalling the scene when she and Tang Yu left here - that day, she hid in his arms and proposed to him.
Only a few days had passed, yet it felt like a lifetime ago.
In just a few days, they experienced marriage and separation. At that time, she joked that the marriage contract had no binding force on them.
Unexpectedly, this saying came true.
They really just broke up...
When she left, she never thought that she would return to Country J so soon.

When Song Zhixing arrived at the Li family villa, Li Qiming was waiting for her in the living room. He was in a very good mood when he saw them coming back.
"Dad." Li Hanyan greeted.
Song Zhixing also called out, "Grandpa."
"Yeah! I'm glad you're back!" Li Qiming looked at her, "You've lost a lot of weight. But it doesn't matter. When you get here, I'll fatten you up sooner or later."
In the past, Li Hanyan would have felt very close to such a grandpa. But now... whenever she thought of her parents' tragedy, and the fact that the murderer Su Fengjin was still being protected and coaxed by everyone, she would always feel resentful.
"Why are you still in a daze?" Li Qiming glanced at her, "If you are tired, go upstairs and rest first, take a good shower, and come downstairs to eat something."
"Grandpa, was it you who did the reporter thing last time?"
Li Qiming tightened his grip on the crutch.
His expression darkened a little, "You just got back, it's not appropriate to talk about these things now."
"In order to stop me and Tang Yu from getting married, you notify the reporters."
"Yes, I don't want you to marry Tang Yu. Now you know the truth of everything. Am I wrong to stop you from getting married?" Li Qiming asked her, "Now that you know that Su Fengjin is the murderer who killed your father and forced your mother to death, can you still be so heartless as to be with Tang Yu? If that's the case, your father and mother gave birth to a daughter like you in vain!"
"I can't let it go. I still feel resentful. I even hate Su Fengjin. I'm always thinking about calling the police and bringing her to justice. But why can you, who knew the truth from the beginning to the end, turn a blind eye and pretend that nothing happened? Even..." Song Zhixing took a deep breath, with layers of bitterness in his eyes, "You even held me hostage in the Tang family and arranged a marriage between my aunt and the Tang family. If... If it weren't for my accident, you would never mention the past and be in-laws with the Tang family for the rest of your lives, letting my parents die unjustly, right?"
These questions made Li Qiming feel guilty.
Li Hanyan stood aside, unable to say a word.
"Why don't you answer me?" She clenched her hands and asked aggressively. Her stubborn face turned pale.
Just as Li Hanyan was about to speak, Li Qiming suddenly said, "You're right! If it weren't for your accident, I would have planned to put the past behind me!"
Although he knew the answer, his heart sank again and again. Song Zhixing looked at Li Qiming sadly, "So... is it true that you held me hostage in the Tang family?"
"The Tang family owes you so much. They will not treat you unfairly, but only well. I let you stay in the Tang family, but it is also to remind them from time to time not to forget what they have done. Xingxing, this is not called a hostage. They treat you well, it is what they should do! I just never expected that Tang Yu would not let you go..."
"Your reasons sound so high-sounding, but I know clearly..." Song Zhixing's words were full of bitterness, "You do all this just for profit. And I... I am just a victim of your interests..."
Tears flashed in her eyes, "That's all."
Facing Song Zhixing's accusing eyes, Li Qiming felt a splitting headache. However, he couldn't say a word of rebuttal. He held his forehead and looked at Li Hanyan, "Take her upstairs first!"
Li Hanyan gently pulled Song Zhixing's sleeve. Song Zhixing still stood there stubbornly, staring at Li Qiming with a stubborn look.
"Your grandpa has not been in good health recently, so don't force him." Li Hanyan spoke softly, in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "Sister is the person grandpa loves the most. If something happened to her, he would be more heartbroken than anyone else. If he had a choice, wouldn't he want revenge?"
Song Zhixing looked at the old man's thin and frail frame, and his cold and hard expression relaxed a little.
Li Hanyan pulled her again and said, "Let's go."
In the end, Song Zhixing followed Li Hanyan upstairs.
Li Hanyan opened the cupboard in her room. "Your grandpa knew that you didn't bring anything with you, so he specially asked someone to prepare a full cupboard of clothes."
Song Zhixing sat on the bed blankly, looking at the clothes blankly.
Li Hanyan sat down next to her, "Xingxing, I know you blame me and your grandpa. But if you had a choice, why wouldn't your grandpa want to avenge your sister?"
"Li's is such a big company, and it has been relying on the Tang family for survival since the last life. For so many years, Li's has been struggling to support itself with your grandfather alone. Although I have helped, I am a girl after all. Many things are just beyond my ability. If we really called the police and really put Su Fengjin in jail, and let the Tang family be involved in such a scandal, the Tang family would definitely have no time to take care of us. Xingxing, once Li's collapses, what awaits us are hundreds of millions of debts, and all the employees of Li's who are waiting to be fed. What's more, Su Fengjin has gone crazy. What can we get if we call the police again? She won't go to jail, she will still live her life, and our Li family can't save not only the people, but also the company. Things are far from as simple as you think!"
"Your grandpa also wants revenge. For so many years, he has been thinking about getting rid of the Tang family's control. He made friends with the Chi family just because he wanted to give an explanation to his sister and brother-in-law."
Song Zhixing didn't know the significance of this before. After listening to Li Hanyan, she didn't say anything for a long time, just clenched her hands tightly, and sat there in a daze.
Li Hanyan sighed, "Think about it carefully. I'll go put the luggage away first. Call me if you need anything."
As soon as she left, Song Zhixing lay on his back on the bed, looking at the photo of his mother hanging on the wall, his eyes swollen.
If she really called the police and got the Tang family involved in a scandal, then Tang Yu... Tang Yu's situation would become very bad!
Song Zhixing looked at her mother's photo guiltily, her eyes reddened.
In fact, what right did she have to blame her grandfather? At this point, wasn't she afraid to make this matter public and seek justice for her parents because of Tang Yu
