Chapter 1004: 973

He Tiantian had just run out when she saw Jiang Lifang getting out of the car with her children.

"Tiantian, have you reserved the seats?" asked Jiang Lifang.

"I have," He Tiantian said, noticing that the woman was no longer on the street, and she gave up the idea of pursuing her further.

"Then let’s hurry inside; don’t stand out here, it’s too hot," Jiang Lifang said, carrying her young grandson, while the two older children walked by themselves.

"Come on, let’s enjoy some good food," He Tiantian said with a smile, having also ordered the meal for Zhang Ning.

As for the stranger that had felt familiar to He Tiantian, she no longer had time to pursue her.

Zhang Ning and Xie Wu were disciplined, they never dined at the same table with them, so each time they went out, He Tiantian would specially order meals for them.

Once they were in the private room, the children were hungry, and the food was just being served.

Everyone busied themselves eating, and He Tiantian temporarily forgot about the woman.

Meanwhile, the beautiful woman in red quickly returned to her hotel and paced restlessly around her room.

It was too much of a coincidence!

How had she ended up meeting He Tiantian?

After so many years of hiding in Xiangjiang, she had long wanted to return for a visit, so she had come along with her husband to Nan City to survey the market.

As she was at her wits’ end, a middle-aged man in his fifties entered.

"What’s wrong?" the man asked. "Are you feeling unwell?"

"No, it’s just that the weather is a bit hot," the woman replied. "By the way, how did your talks go?"

The man smiled and said, "Very well. I think investing here and setting up a factory would be very profitable."

The woman frowned upon hearing this.

Having seen He Tiantian, she no longer wished to invest in Nan City.

"What’s the matter, don’t you think it’s good?" the man asked, his tone somewhat displeased.

A woman shouldn’t be pampered too much; previously, it was she who wanted to invest in Nan City, and now she was the one who was unhappy.

Seeing the man getting a bit upset, the woman quickly explained, "There are so many cities open in the Mainland, why don’t we look at some other cities, compare them, and then decide? Perhaps you think it’s suitable for investment here, but maybe there’s a better, more suitable place. We are in business after all, and naturally, we must shop around."

The middle-aged man nodded and said, "You’re right. Let’s look around some more, compare, and then decide."

"Good, let’s go to Shanghai," the woman replied. "It’s coastal, and in the future, whether it’s transportation or policies, I think the prospects for development are better than here."

"Alright, let’s also go take a look at Shanghai," the middle-aged man agreed. His factory in Xiangjiang was declining, so he needed a new project. Investing in the Mainland required caution.

The woman was afraid of He Tiantian, so she no longer wanted to invest in Nan City.

Although she had changed a lot, she still feared being recognized.

She was responsible for several deaths; being discovered would mean death.

She had finally managed to kill that woman and risen to her position, born a son, lived in a villa, served by maids, with endless money—she lived a heavenly life.

Although she hated He Tiantian, she also cherished her current life.

Currently, her capabilities were still weak, not enough to confront He Tiantian.

Earn money, earn money, she must earn a lot of money!

Being wealthy would make her a part of the upper class, have connections, and then possibly seek revenge!

In the dead of night, a woman stood by the window. Under the moonlight, Nan City possessed a hazy beauty.

This was her hometown, the place she longed for.

However, upon her return, she encountered indifferent family members and former enemies.

She left, for there was nothing left in this place worth her fondness. When she would come back, it would be time to take revenge on He Tiantian!

The middle-aged man and the woman in the red dress packed up and left for Shanghai the next day.

Although He Tiantian later asked Xie Wu to investigate, his description was inaccurate, and he did not find the woman.

At that time, there were no cameras to capture faces; finding someone was as difficult as searching for a needle in a haystack.

"I’m sorry," Xie Wu said guiltily, "that woman is very cunning. It seemed like she circled around a few times and then disappeared without a trace. No one saw her, so I couldn’t find her."

"It’s okay," He Tiantian nodded, showing understanding.

Moreover, she had no impression of that woman, just a subtle feeling. Since she couldn’t be found, there was no need to look any further.

She couldn’t allow a mysterious person to keep her anxious all day long.

Besides, He Tiantian believed in not offending others unless offended, but if attacked, she would definitely retaliate. Even if someone troubled her, she was ready to meet challenges head-on.

Why fear anything!

Recently, Huo Yingjie had been very busy, discussing the details of state-owned enterprise reform with Huo Zhekun, so he wasn’t paying attention to He Tiantian.

He Tiantian didn’t truly mind, so she didn’t mention it to Huo Yingjie.

Time passed quickly, and soon it was the end of August.

They were going to return to Yanjing.

Huo Ruihua and Huo Ruimin were to start elementary school this year and needed to register without delay.

Before leaving, He Tiantian wanted to invite Qi Zhenghan for a meal, but she hesitated fearing Huo Yingjie’s anger and worrying about disrupting Qi Zhenghan and Zhang Mengmeng’s relationship.

Latershe thought it better not to invite him to avoid complications.

Just then, the Huo Family received an invitation from Qi Zhenghan and Zhang Mengmeng to visit.

He Tiantian blinked and then smiled; their coming together meant their relationship was solid, so she had no need to worry.

Huo Yingjie was feeding the children when he saw He Tiantian’s joyful expression and eagerly asked, "What’s the matter? You seem so happy."

"Haha, Qi Zhenghan and Zhang Mengmeng are coming to visit tomorrow," He Tiantian chuckled. "Now I can finally relax!"

Huo Yingjie was delighted inside, as he could relax too.

He always unhappily noted others eyeing his wife.

Though he knew his wife wouldn’t embarrass him, being a man, it still left a sour taste in his mouth.

"Great, we should welcome them warmly tomorrow," Huo Yingjie smiled. "By the way, that Zhang Mengmeng is your student, right?"

"Yes, Zhengmin mentioned to me that Zhang Mengmeng and Qi Zhenghan are dating. I was surprised, but I think Zhang Mengmeng is a lovely girl and they are well-suited. Moreover, Third Grandma Qi has said before that she doesn’t care about social standing as long as they get along well," He Tiantian responded, pleased for Qi Zhenghan and happy for Zhang Mengmeng as well.

"Well, Zhang Mengmeng is also lucky," Huo Yingjie smiled. "Let’s make sure they feel welcome tomorrow."

"Of course, he’s also my elder brother," He Tiantian said joyfully, then went out to prepare for tomorrow’s needs.

Elder brother?

Oh, to have a younger brother-in-law of a few years and now an adopted elder brother-in-law as well.
