CHAPTER 382: CHAPTER 382: PAIN IN THE FLESH, DEEPER IN THE HEART (PART 2)

Tang Jun’s straightforward words made Tang Yue blush unconsciously.

"Big sis, there’s no need to feel embarrassed. It’s normal for you to think about your brother-in-law. It would be abnormal if you didn’t," Tang Jun said in a brash manner.

Tang Yue gave him a glaring look and said, "Once you get home, remember to give me a call."

"Got it," Tang Jun replied, making a face.

The siblings talked for a long time.

The next day, the group of four, including Tang Jun, met up and joined the Mo Family members on the train to Sea City.

Tang Yue came home, packed her things, and was also ready to set off.

"Mingli, I’ll be going to Jing City in a few days. I’ll give you a call when I get there," Tang Mingli repeatedly instructed. He checked the phone number and address for the fleet and the alley again before carefully putting the notebook into his pocket. To head to Jing City, he would rely on this phone number and address.

"Sure, little uncle, little aunt, you guys can come along for fun, just think of it as a trip," Tang Yue said invitingly with a smile, "Mom and Dad, if you’re free, you can also come to Jing City to see me."

"Alright," Zhang Hualian said, unable to let go of Tang Yue, and kept cautioning her to be careful on the road.

Her suitcase was filled with food from Zhang Hualian and Mo Xiaolin, as if they were worried that Jing City wouldn’t have good food.

After spending the New Year at the Tang Family, Bai Qing disappeared at the start of Zheng Yue, only to reappear out of nowhere when Tang Yue was about to leave for Jing City.

"How did you get so much tanner?" Tang Yue was shocked at the sight of Bai Qing, who had fair and tender skin before, looking like a seventeen or eighteen-year-old, but now it was much darker, her originally fair complexion had turned wheatish.

"Sigh," Bai Qing sighed, "I almost didn’t make it back."

It wasn’t that half a year without missions made her skills rusty, but rather the days of this half-year seemed to have made Bai Qing cherish her life even more.

"Ah? Are you injured somewhere?" Tang Yue pretended to check Bai Qing to see if she was hurt.

Bai Qing quickly stopped her, "I’m fine, just some minor injuries, no big deal."

"You..." Tang Yue hesitated for a long time before asking, "Didn’t you make tens of thousands from stock trading before? Are you short on money?"

Pfft—

Bai Qing knew Tang Yue had misunderstood and explained, "Xiao Yue, I’m not short on money, but the work I like to do, I just think about doing it occasionally."

Tang Yue: ...

What kind of job do you do occasionally when you feel like it?

One that nearly cost you your life, what kind of job is that?

Tang Yue couldn’t figure it out, but since Bai Qing didn’t elaborate, she didn’t pry further. On the way, they never lacked anything to eat; Tang Zhengde and Zhang Hualian had filled a whole suitcase with snacks for Tang Yue and Bai Qing to eat.

Upon arriving in Jing City, Bai Qing headed straight for the securities company, but unfortunately, the company was closed during Zheng Yue, and Bai Qing made a wasted trip.

Tang Yue, carrying her suitcase, didn’t even go back to the alley but directly went to the fleet.

Sea City.

Mo Xiaoyu was hosting her parents, other relatives of the Mo Family, and four young boys. Her originally spacious home now felt rather cramped with the addition of so many people.

Mo Xiaofeng and his wife Zheng Chunhong found Mo Xiaoyu’s room filled with warmth everywhere. Even without a man in the house, Mo Xiaoyu had kept it very tidy, even more comfortable to the eye than when Xie Quan was around.

Next, everyone went to visit Mo Xiaoyu’s clothing store, which was stocked full to the brim, and business seemed to be quite good.

The anxiety that Mo Xiaofeng had been carrying slowly began to settle.

Mo Weidong didn’t care about that. Even if his sister was now doing well, Xie Quan had hurt her, and Mo Weidong felt uneasy not having settled this score.

In order to find out where Xie Quan was, Mo Weidong used various methods to pry information from his family members.

On his third day in Sea City, not only had Mo Weidong found out where Xie Quan was, but he had also figured out how to get there.

Mo Weidong, alongside Tang Jun, Zhang Qiang, and Wei Jiajie, a group of four, set out to find Xie Quan’s location.

The place where Xie Quan was currently located wasn’t far from his old factory, but the site was much more rundown and smaller in size. Xie Quan was now putting in his own labor with the hope of winning back the customers he had lost.

When Mo Weidong and his group arrived, they loitered nearby.

Coincidentally, Xie Quan had just finalized a small order and was beaming with joy.

"Brother-in-law," Mo Weidong rushed out the instant he spotted Xie Quan.

Being called brother-in-law took Xie Quan by surprise. It took him a moment to recognize Mo Weidong when he saw him.

With a sorrowful look, Mo Weidong said, "Brother-in-law, you wouldn’t have forgotten me, would you?"

"How could I? Weidong, I recognize you," Xie Quan replied suspiciously, wondering why Mo Weidong was looking for him since he and Mo Xiaoyu were divorced.

"I sneaked out with a classmate, my sister doesn’t even know. Why don’t you live there anymore? I couldn’t find you," said Mo Weidong, acting like an ignorant and clueless teenager. He complained, "Brother-in-law, my sister, really, she didn’t even come back for the New Year. My parents miss her so much. Where is my sister? Why are you alone?"

Mo Weidong’s words lit up Xie Quan’s eyes. He had been afraid to approach Mo Xiaoyu because of Mo Siyu, but now with Mo Weidong as a potential intermediary, perhaps after half a year, Mo Xiaoyu might agree to see him?

Thus, Xie Quan was extraordinarily warm to Mo Weidong.

Inside, Mo Weidong loathed Xie Quan so much he wanted to gouge his eyes out, yet he kept a calm facade. They followed Xie Quan to the factory, where Mo Weidong clearly displayed his disdain, questioning how Xie Quan could provide a good life for Mo Xiaoyu with such a small factory.

In order to get closer to Mo Xiaoyu through Mo Weidong, Xie Quan tolerated all of Mo Weidong’s frank remarks. When lunchtime came, the four youngsters excitedly suggested having a lavish seafood meal.

Xie Quan was very generous, taking Mo Weidong’s group out to eat. Because Sea City was near the sea, seafood was cheaper than other places. The four young men, though not very old, were at an age with hearty appetites. Xie Quan figured he’d order some filling dishes and then use this opportunity to reconnect with Mo Xiaoyu through Mo Weidong.

Xie Quan had great plans, but once they were at the restaurant, Mo Weidong’s group ordered the best dishes.

"Brother-in-law, did you bring enough money? Can you afford to treat us?" Mo Weidong quickly grabbed the hand of his friend who was ordering, pretending to be considerate of Xie Quan. Xie Quan, who cared a lot about maintaining face and wanted to find Mo Xiaoyu through Mo Weidong, gritted his teeth and insisted he could afford it.

Thus, Mo Weidong and his friends indulged in the feast, making Xie Quan wince with the cost of the extravagant seafood meal!
