As for Shen Nian and Lu Cheng, the atmosphere between them couldn't have been better. It had been perfect all through last night and into today. They had even completed a major milestone in their lives.
However, things were far from as wonderful for the others.
Further away, Chu Lingxiu of the Chu Family had run off after pushing Shen Nian to the ground that day.
She didn't dare to go home or anywhere else. In the end, she spent the entire night partying at a bar with a bad crowd. The next day, she slept in a hotel room straight through until evening.
When evening came, Chu Lingxiu still didn't go home. Instead, she went to find her best friend.
"Lingxiu, what are you doing here at this hour! I called your house yesterday, and your family said you were out. I called again during the day today, but you still hadn't come home. What on earth have you been doing these past two days?"
