Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

After learning the news of Song Yunsheng’s death, An Linghe gave Song Yunshu a sum of money.

One was to console her over the loss of Song Yunsheng.

The other was to fulfill the promise he made to Song Yunshu that day.

Originally, this money was meant to save Song Yunsheng’s life.

However, no one expected that the money would be ended up being unused. Now, the money in Song Yunshu’s hands had a different meaning.

After setting aside the money for Song Yunsheng’s funeral arrangements, she donated the rest to the Red Cross Society without keeping a single cent for herself.

At Song Yunsheng’s funeral, An Linghe’s family rejected to attend, citing their daughter’s upcoming wedding as the reason.

Song Yunshu didn’t pursue the matter after hearing the news.

However, Song Yunshu couldn’t figure out if An Linghe did not have the time or if he did not dare to come.

Two months later, it was the wedding of her cousin An Jiaqing and the eldest son of the Huo family. As her cousin, Song Yunshu was also on the guest list.

As a prominent family in Rong City, the Huo family’s status was even higher than that of the An family. It was said that this wedding was decided by fate two years ago. Otherwise, given the Huo family’s status in Rong City, An Jiaqing wouldn’t have stood a chance, even if she stood on her tiptoes.

It was only because the eldest son of the Huo family had lived abroad all year round and had only recently returned to the country that the two families were so eager to settle the marriage and hold the wedding.

In order to show off An Jiaqing’s ‘sisterhood’ with Song Yunshu, she even invited Song Yunshu to be the bridesmaid for this wedding.

Song Yunshu wanted to refuse, but she couldn’t resist An Jiaqing’s persistence.

On the day An Jiaqing tried on wedding dresses, she specially invited Song Yunshu to try on the bridesmaid dress.

When they returned home, they received a call from their family saying that Huo Cen would be coming over for dinner and asked them to hurry home.

Song Yunshu had initially thought that this was An Jiaqing’s family’s business and she didn’t have to get involved. However, An Jiaqing didn’t give her a chance to refuse and simply pulled her into the car and brought her home.

When they arrived home, An Jiaqing hurriedly left Song Yunshu behind and rushed towards the house.

Song Yunshu stood outside the villa, her grip on her bag tightening.

Song Yunsheng’s death had always left a shadow in her heart, and she still couldn’t look An Linghe in the eye.

Aunt Xiang went to ask Yunsheng’s attending physician about his situation, but the doctor was evasive and couldn’t give a clear answer. He only gave Aunt Xiang a note.

When they went back, they realized that the note given by the attending physician had the word ‘donation’.

Song Yunshu immediately reacted and went to the Human Organs Donation Management Center to search for information about Song Yunsheng.

To her surprise, she found out that there was information about the donation under Song Yunsheng’s name.

When Song Yunshu brought the information to the donation center to check, she was told that the system did not find the existence of this information.

The thorn in her heart grew deeper and deeper.

As a result, the air around Song Yunshu seemed to thin out as she stepped into this place.

She stood at the door and took several deep breaths. Just as she was about to climb the steps, a bright car light shone on her from afar.

Song Yunshu turned around.

A black Maybach stopped steadily behind her.

The bright lights shone on her face, so bright that she couldn’t open her eyes.

The next second, the car stopped and the back door was pushed open.

She vaguely saw a tall figure getting off the car.

Before Song Yunshu could take a closer look, An Jiaqing, who had heard the commotion in the room, had already run out. When An Jiaqing passed by her, she bumped into her shoulder rudely and ran straight towards the figure with her arms open and a delighted voice.

“Big Brother Huo!”

Song Yunshu was pushed away, her body tilted, and nearly fell. Fortunately, she managed to steady herself in time.

An Linghe and Aunt Cao Qin also came out of the house and looked at the man in front of them with smiles.

No one cared about her, who had almost been knocked away.

Song Yunshu was already used to it, so she tactfully stepped aside.

The headlights of the Maybach dimmed, and only then did Song Yunshu finally see the man standing in front of her.

His brows were sharp like blades, and his straight nose bridge was like a carved knife. His black eyes under the gold-rimmed glasses were cold and distant.

He wore a thin white shirt with a few buttons casually unbuttoned, revealing a slender and fair neck. The lines of his clothes were ironed neatly, and his figure was smooth and straight.

Song Yunshu only took a glance at him before she quietly retracted her gaze. She stood aside with her head lowered, obediently acting like a little invisible person.

“Jiaqing came back early when she heard that you were coming. I didn’t expect you to arrive at the same time.”

An Jiaqing wrapped her hands around the man’s arms with a blissful smile.

Hearing her mother’s words, her little face blushed slightly and she said coquettishly, “Hey, Mom, what are you talking about?”

Huo Cen said nothing, his eyes containing a cold color.

As his gaze swept past the few people present. It lingered imperceptibly for a moment when it passed over Song Yunshu before moving away.

The chauffeur took out the gifts that he had prepared from the car.

“Please accept the gifts on our first visit.”

“Oh, you don’t have to bring anything. Xiao Cen, you’re getting married soon. You can just call us Dad and Mom in the future.”

Cao Qin’s enthusiastic face was almost blooming with joy.

Having a son-in-law who was outstanding and capable like him was something that would make anyone happy.

However, Huo Cen only glanced at them indifferently and did not respond to Cao Qin’s words.

An Linghe quickly spoke up, “Your aunt is right. Don’t bring anything next time you come. The food is ready. We’re just waiting for you. Come on in.”

As they entered the house, Song Yunshu still walked at the back. She lowered her head and tried her best to minimize her presence, but she still couldn’t escape the man’s sharp gaze.

When Song Yunshu sensed that something was amiss, she looked up and around.

But there was no one else around except herself.
