Chapter 997: Chapter 997: Envy in Their Eyes (Part 1)
Jing City, International Airport.
In the bustling airport, when Shen Yunfei and Lian Qingqing arrived, they felt a surge of emotions.
"I’m back."
Lian Qingqing wore a black hat, its wide brim making her small face look even smaller. After several years, Lian Qingqing exuded a bit more poise, her stylish clothes and wavy long hair making her appear charming and feminine.
Gazing at the bustling crowd, Lian Qingqing felt deeply touched. Black hair, black eyes, yellow skin—after staying in Country F for so long, seeing so many Huaxia people suddenly gave her a strong sense of belonging.
This was her home, where she was born and raised, this was her root.
"Qingqing, should we first go to Sea City to pay respects to Dad?" Shen Yunfei now understood the relationship between Dad and Lian Qingqing. Over the years, Shen Jing’s spirit seemed to have made Shen Yunfei mature overnight.
Now in the world, no dad, no mom, only he and his sister Lian Qingqing remained.
"Hmm." Lian Qingqing did not refuse; not only should she pay respects to her Dad, but also to her grandparents and her mother.
They only made a brief stop in Jing City before Lian Qingqing and Shen Yunfei flew directly to Sea City.
This was the first time in years that Lian Qingqing and Shen Yunfei returned to their country. The cemetery was set up by Shen Jing’s old colleagues, and all the former glory turned into bubbles after Shen Jing’s passing.
Shen Yunfei could only run those legitimate businesses which were meant to be cleaned up. For this, Shen Yunfei spent several years, finally stabilizing the business. Meanwhile, Lian Qingqing at D Jewelry Company, worked her way up from a small designer to a design director, and now has been sent to Jing City to manage the Huaxia D Jewelry Branch. Lian Qingqing also put in a lot of effort.
In the cemetery, Lian Qingqing and Shen Yunfei first visited Shen Jing. When they left, Shen Jing was still alive, and now upon returning, Shen Jing had become this cold tombstone.

"Sis, Lian Qingqing is back home." As soon as Lian Qingyang got the news, he hurried home to inform Tang Yue, saying, "You should be more careful when you go out lately."
"Why, Lian Qingqing can’t possibly eat me, can she?"
Tang Yue was sketching on the computer. After optimization by Lian Qingyang’s team, using the computer to draw and then print it out, Tang Yue found it very convenient and familiar. Not only Tang Yue, but everyone in the studio was equipped with a computer, gradually becoming familiar with drawing.
Tang Yue was preparing for the new season’s clothes for Star Bright.
"Why not? She used to be vengeful. Now that she’s back, who knows what she’ll stir up?"
Lian Qingyang had no hope for his former sister Lian Qingqing.
"Alright, don’t worry, I’ll pay attention." Tang Yue casually responded, then changed the subject, "How’s your game going? When can we play it online?"
"Soon." Lian Qingyang got excited as he talked about their newly developed shooting game, saying, "Sis, once this game is online, Xincheng Computer will surely sell like hotcakes again."
"Your Xincheng Computer, from a small factory, is now renowned nationwide. How much more do you want it to sell?" Tang Yue joked. With the rise of computers in recent years, the demand has skyrocketed.
Xincheng’s computers, with good quality and unique mini-games other computers didn’t have, sold better than other brands.
With Lian Qingyang following Tang Yue’s advice to provide excellent after-sales service, the reputation soared, and now, when people mentioned Xincheng Computer, they gave a thumbs up in praise.
"Sis, you don’t know yet, this game can be installed not only on our computers but also on others, only you’ll have to pay a little." Lian Qingyang boasted, having patented every game he developed.
Now, they had designed and developed over a hundred games of various sizes.
"You’ve probably made quite a bit of money just from games, right?" Tang Yue assessed Lian Qingyang, who had shed his former innocence and become more mature over the years.
Besides managing Xincheng Computer, Lian Qingyang also handled the Lian Group’s business in Jing City.
Just the Lian Group’s Mingzhu Hotel, which is a five-star hotel, showed their capabilities.
Tang Yue had been there a few times and had a very good impression.
"Sis, money isn’t what I care about, I just want others to think of us first when they play games." Lian Qingyang humbly said, though in reality, he was very proud. Without the Lian family’s involvement, Lian Qingyang’s Xincheng Computer alone was far beyond his peers.
"Impressive." Tang Yue gave him a thumbs-up and noticed the time. Tang Yue was in a hurry to pick someone up.
Mo Xiaolin sprained her ankle these past few days, and Si Yu was discharged from the hospital to rest at home. He was now reading a newspaper in the living room.
Zhang Hualian was busy with things in the shop, so it was Tang Yue who went to pick up the children.
Wu Xin had gone to Jiang City; the gang of tomb robbers they had caught before still had accomplices.
"Let’s go together." Lian Qingyang said excitedly, "Brother-in-law, you stay at home. I’ll go with Sis to pick up the kids."
"Honey," Si Yu looked at Tang Yue eagerly; he wanted to pick up the kids too.
Tang Yue glanced at Si Yu’s leg and walked over, smiling as she asked, "You don’t want to go to school in a wheelchair to pick up Zaozao and Chenchen, do you?"
Si Yu, envisioning that scene, shook his head immediately: "I’ll wait for you all at home."
Si Yu was a restless person; during his recovery, he thought he could enjoy sweet times with his wife. But soon, Si Yu realized that any sweetness dissolved into bubbles due to his injured leg.
Tang Yue was busy and couldn’t accompany Si Yu all day long.
Tang Yue worked in the studio, and Si Yu just sat beside her, either watching his wife work seriously or reading a newspaper or magazine to pass the time.
What Si Yu found most intolerable was that he needed his wife to accompany him everywhere, even to the bathroom, which he couldn’t stand. He should protect and take care of his wife, how could it be the other way around?
Si Yu was determined to recover well.
Tang Yue and Lian Qingyang walked together to pick up the kids. In front of Tang Yue, Lian Qingyang was still like a child, not at all like the Mr. Lian at work.
Zaozao and Chenchen saw Lian Qingyang and rushed over calling ’Uncle, Uncle,’ clearly showing how popular this uncle was.
