Chapter 761: Chapter 761: Who Did I Offend?
Tang Yue stepped forward to help, but her limited martial arts skills were fine against ordinary men, not so much against seasoned fighters.
Previously, the oily, slick-faced man who had been following Xie Ziyue rushed forward and said, "Young Master, let me help you."
That oily, slick-faced man was even less capable than Tang Yue. Him rushing in only meant getting beaten, but it did buy Xie Ziyue a bit of time.
Xie Ziyue appeared gentle, but his moves were anything but sluggish.
"Who are you guys."
"Don’t kick my stomach."
The oily, slick-faced man cried out in pain while being beaten, and all that could be heard in the midst of the five-person melee were his screams.
The two men saw they couldn’t take Tang Yue with them, exchanged glances, and quickly retreated.
"They finally left." Tang Yue breathed a sigh of relief, approached Xie Ziyue, saw his once neat grey suit now dirty, and said with an apologetic tone, "I’m so sorry for causing you trouble."
She initially wanted Xie Ziyue to just pass on a message, not expecting him to take action.
"No need." Xie Ziyue dusted off his clothes, made sure that the oily, slick-faced man was alright, and then asked, "Did you offend someone?"
"I don’t know, I haven’t been in Jin City for very long." Tang Yue was completely clueless.
Gratefully, she said, "My name is Tang Yue, I am Meng Siyu’s wife. Who are you? Are you also from the company?"
Her bright eyes sized Xie Ziyue up as she felt very bad for having been helped by him twice now.
"Xie Ziyue, I’m not from the company. My older brother knows Meng Siyu," Xie Ziyue answered succinctly. "It’s nothing major. Let me take you back, I’m not sure if they’ll come back or not."
"Thank you then."
At this moment, Tang Yue was not about to foolishly refuse. What if those men came back?
As they went along, Tang Yue chatted casually with Xie Ziyue and learned that he had just returned from studying abroad in Y country. In a flash, she thought of Lian Qingqing but didn’t make any connection.
Xie Ziyue escorted Tang Yue all the way to the entrance of the alley. Tang Yue, as though remembering something, took out US$ 1,000 from her bag and handed it over, saying, "This is the one thousand yuan from Grandma Gu."
Xie Ziyue didn’t accept it, his gaze resting on Tang Yue’s clean face. He had heard that day, Grandma Gu was just a lonely old woman.
"Speaking of which, Grandma Gu is somewhat like a relative to me, being my aunt’s grandmother-in-law, whom I recently got to know. My aunt and uncle mentioned that if they saw you, they wanted to give you this," Tang Yue explained with a smile. "Of course, should my aunt and uncle have the chance to meet you, they would surely like to express their gratitude in person."
"It was a simple gesture; I don’t need this money. If the old lady doesn’t need it, just take it as something to buy her some nutritional supplements." Xie Ziyue got in his car and departed.
As a married young woman, Tang Yue wasn’t going to force the money on anyone and could only silently put the money away. Now knowing who the other party was, that was enough.
Back home, Tang Yue sat on the sofa and made a cup of hot tea to calm her nerves.
Those two people from today, why were they following her?
And then, did they plan to kidnap her?
If it were not for Xie Ziyue’s impressive skills, those men would have surely taken her by force.
But whom did she offend?
Tang Yue frowned, feeling a bit frightened afterwards.

"Second Young Master, shall we change our clothes first?" The sleek-haired man asked while driving the car.
"Qingqing’s flight should have already arrived," urged Xie Ziyue, "Drive faster."
He patted his clothes and straightened them out; the gray outfit didn’t show much.
Airport.
Lian Qingqing had waited for a while but still hadn’t seen Xie Ziyue. Looking around and biting her lip, she wondered to herself if Brother Zi Yue had gotten the time wrong?
It had been a long time since she had seen Brother Zi Yue.
Lian Qingqing set her luggage aside and kept looking around. Wearing a plaid coat and her naturally striking features made her stand out in the airport. Passersby couldn’t help but glance at her—the beautiful girl, although a stranger, was a pleasant sight.
"Brother Zi Yue." Lian Qingqing spotted him the moment Xie Ziyue entered. She stood up happily, the smile in her eyes truly sincere, and exceptionally beautiful.
She trotted up to him, her smile as bright as flowers, and said softly, "Brother Zi Yue, I thought you got the time wrong and weren’t coming."
"How could I?" Xie Ziyue reached behind him and presented a bouquet of roses, extending it to her, "Qingqing, welcome to Jin City."
"Thank you, Brother Zi Yue."
Lian Qingqing happily accepted the flowers. She had received many flowers, but this bouquet was her favorite.
Maybe the roses weren’t numerous, but it’s the person giving them that counts—even if it was just one, she would be happy.
"As long as you like it," Xie Ziyue said as he pushed her luggage, "I have a house in East City. It’s always cleaned by the housekeeper, cleaner and quieter than a hotel. How about it, Miss Lian, would you like to stay there?"
Xie Ziyue’s words always gave a comforting feeling like a soft spring breeze.
Lian Qingqing looked up, holding his hand, "Of course, you’re my boyfriend, so it’s fine if I stay over, right?"
Lian Qingqing playfully blinked, then suddenly asked, "Brother Zi Yue, where have you just come from? Why do you look a bit disheveled?"
"It’s nothing, I just came from the construction site. Didn’t I tell you before that I invested in building a house? I’ve just come from there, maybe I’ve got dust on me." Xie Ziyue explained, without mentioning the fight he had been in.
The sleek-haired man silently drove the car, acting as the driver and laborer. He helped move Lian Qingqing’s luggage into the car and drove towards the villa in East City.
In the same direction as the school, the villa in East City was nestled halfway up the hillside.
The two-story villa was not particularly large, but it triumphed in its quiet and peaceful environment. Opening the door, one could vaguely catch sight of the bustle of Jin City.
"Not bad." Lian Qingqing walked happily around the villa. It was evident that the rooms on the second floor had been specially arranged; everything in the house was suited for a woman, either pink or white, looking especially comforting.
"This is the guest room, but it’s the only one on the second floor. I’ve replaced everything in here with new items. From this window, you can directly see the plum forest opposite," said Xie Ziyue, fresh from a shower, as he led Lian Qingqing to the window and opened it.
The cold wind was biting outside, but looking into the distance, one could perfectly see that dream-like plum forest.
"Brother Zi Yue, thank you," Lian Qingqing flung herself into his embrace, her cheeks as red as the twilight sky.
