338 Let’s Go

“I don’t know if he’ll only be heartbroken…” Yue Jiaojiao closed the wedding invitation and carefully put it aside. “I’m a little worried now. He didn’t leave with Xiangjun because he wanted to get something, did he?”

The happy event was about to happen.

The Li family should have already set it up.

Wouldn’t Fang Tianliu break down on the spot if he saw the jubilant scene with his own eyes?

!!

“Forget it, I’ll indirectly ask him when he comes back.” Madam Qin’s face scrunched up at the thought of the scene. “I don’t know how long Zhao Zhan will sleep. I’ll make you something to eat first.”

Yue Jiaojiao looked at the door, feeling a little worried.

Fang Tianliu stopped the carriage at the entrance of the Hundred Flavors Restaurant.

Li Xiangjun jumped off the carriage. “Wait for me here. No matter if I can get it today or not, I will definitely come back and tell you as soon as possible.”

Fang Tianliu looked at her and didn’t say whether he should respond or not. “Miss Li, I have things to do. Don’t waste my time by making me wait around. If the rain gets heavier, it will delay my journey.”

Li Xiangjun didn’t waste any more time and turned to leave.

It was misty, and her body was covered in a layer of water vapor.

If they had an umbrella, they wouldn’t be able to hear the sound of the rain. However, without an umbrella, they felt as if their entire body was being soaked by the water vapor.

Fang Tianliu stared at her back as she left, then he tied the carriage to the side and followed her.

He had to find out the truth behind everything.

He did not believe that there was no reason for the Li family’s abnormal behavior.

Li Xiangjun lowered her head and hurried on with her journey. She didn’t realize that someone was following her.

Starting from the shop, Fang Tianliu followed her step by step, and the doubts in his heart grew bigger and bigger.

He was more familiar with the layout of Huai County than anyone else.

The place Li Xiangjun wanted to go to had dirty streets and narrow alleys. Most of the people living there were poor people in Huai County.

Why did she move there?

Could it be that Li Xiangjun had cruelly broken up with him because the Li family was in trouble and she could not bear to implicate him?

Fang Tianliu didn’t know why he was looking forward to it.

He carefully followed her all the way to Li Xiangjun’s house. The house was a small courtyard, and compared to its neighbors, it was at most tidied up.

The door was narrow.

Fang Tianliu scanned his surroundings.

It couldn’t even compare to the mountain gaze.

Li Xiangjun slammed the door.

“I’ve returned.”

Manager Li opened the door and looked around.

Fang Tianliu turned into a nearby alley, avoiding his line of sight.

“Xiangjun, come in quickly.” Manager Li grabbed Li Xiangjun’s arm and pulled her in. “Why are you back at this hour? I thought you went to Willow Village today?”

“Father, please don’t ask so many questions,” Li Xiangjun immediately asked, “Did Fang Tianliu give you a jade pendant? Where is that jade pendant? Find it and I’ll return it to him.”

Manager Li immediately turned around. “You met him today? You treated him like that in Wangshan Town, and he’s still willing to see you?”

“This has nothing to do with the family.” Li Xiangjun’s expression was hostile as she extended her hand towards her father. “Give me the jade pendant. It’s an item passed down from his family. We shouldn’t be having it.”

“What jade pendant?”

Manager Li flicked his sleeves and entered the room. “We moved here from the mountain gaze in a hurry, so we left many things in the old house. Look at the house we’re living in now. Does it look like it can hold so many things?”

Li Xiangjun stomped her feet in anger.

“Father!”

“Why are you two fighting again?” Her mother came out when she heard the commotion and walked out. “Why haven’t I heard of the jade pendant you mentioned? Don’t worry, I’ll help you find it.”

“Mother, how could you not have heard of it? Doesn’t he tell you everything?”

“If your father had told me everything, would we have left the old mansion and come to live in this kind of place?” Missus Li’s face was tired, and the serious demeanor she had maintained in the past was also a little listless. “You’re right. Fang Tianliu is already so miserable. We can’t hold back his jade pendant anymore.”

“I said no means no!” Manager Li roared and stomped away, “What? Don’t you believe me? What’s so precious about that jade pendant? It’s fine if it’s lost!”

“Mother, move aside.”

Li Xiangjun carefully pushed her shoulder and made her stand aside. She wanted to enter the place.

The door was locked from the inside.

Li Xiangjun gritted her teeth and kicked hard.

A muffled bang was heard.

Manager Li, who was sitting by the table in the room, looked up in a hurry. “Li Xiangjun! You’re looking down on me! I’m your father for goodness sake! If I didn’t care about you, you wouldn’t even be able to live in this place. What are you holding in your hand?”

The courtyard was noisy.

Fang Tianliu stood at the door and leaned in to listen.

The door to the courtyard opened.

“Why is this family quarreling again?”

“That’s right. It’s been going on day by day and without a break. A few days ago, didn’t Mister Li say that the daughter of this family is going to marry into a good family?”

The neighbors were standing at the door of the Li family’s house, pointing and talking.

Fang Tianliu, who had been pushed to the back by them, heard the last sentence and asked anxiously, “Who’s getting married?”

“Didn’t you see?” A woman pointed at the red lanterns hanging under the eaves. “Look at this, they’re already hung up. The courtyard is decorated even more jubilantly if you can take a peep.”

Fang Tianliu’s eyes were dull. He originally thought that the red lanterns were hung up by the Li family to celebrate their housewarming.

“Her? Do you all know which family she’s going to marry into?”

“Who knows? I only heard that he’s a rich businessman from Jiangnan. Jiangnan is so far away from Huai County. After this marriage, I suppose we’ll never see her ever again…”

The woman shook her head.

The door was pulled open.

Li Xiangjun was caught off guard when she saw so many people surrounding the door. She did not have time to hide the anger on her face.

“Young lady, you’re about to get married. You can’t be so angry. It’s inauspicious.”

“Thank you, aunt…”

She raised her head and her gaze directly met with Fang Tianliu’s.

Li Xiangjun opened her mouth but couldn’t react in time. “You followed me here?”

“Xiangjun!”

Missus Li’s voice came from behind her.

Li Xiangjun stepped out of the door and closed the door behind her. She squeezed through the crowd and grabbed Fang Tianliu’s wrist.

“Come with me.”

The jade pendant was in her palm.

Fang Tianliu felt the pain in her grip. Li Xiangjun walked quickly in front. He followed her pace without saying a word, allowing her to drag him wherever she wanted.

The rain gradually became heavier and the two of them were drenched.

His line of sight was blocked by the rain and he could not see too far away.

Fang Tianliu’s gaze fell on her hand, and then he looked up at her back.

He suddenly felt like he was on the run with his lover.

How good would it be if this girl was still his?
