Chapter 162: line with translation of chapter title

Evening when Xie Shiyu came back, Tushan Jiu asked him what time the flight was.

He told her that departing after nine in the morning would be in time.

Tushan Jiu was puzzled; she remembered that there were no flights at that time from Nan Cheng to Yun Shi.

After all, Yun Shi's airport is small, with only a limited number of flights each day.

But since Xie Shiyu had arranged it, she naturally didn't ask further.

Tushan Jiu promised to help Xie Shiyu pack his luggage.

Actually, Xie Shiyu didn't let her do any work; she just went to his wardrobe and picked out a few everyday outfits for him.

The flight from Nan Cheng to Yun Shi takes nearly three hours; although Yun Shi isn't as cold as Nan Cheng, the day-night temperature difference is still large.

After Tushan Jiu finished picking out clothes for Xie Shiyu, he told her to go back and get some early sleep.

If one doesn't get enough sleep, riding a plane can also make one feel uncomfortable and airsick.

The next day, early in the morning, the driver sent them to the airport.

Nan Cheng has a dedicated apron for private planes, where the takeoffs and landings are all private aircraft of the various families.

Tushan Jiu realized the direction was different from last time she came; after asking, she learned that Xie Shiyu had applied for a flight route.

She didn't mention whether it would be too wasteful; she simply doesn't have that concept.

Before, there was no way because of her grandfather's fate, so she couldn't be conspicuous.

Otherwise, if she demanded payment from a few more families, she could afford a private plane too.

But now she doesn't need to buy one; her fiancé's family already has one.

Tushan Jiu thought and wondered whether she should add a helicopter to her dowry.

Because besides the He family, there's also the He family's debt to settle.

She remembered that the He family seemed to be the major shareholder of Yun Shi Yunxiang Aviation Industry, and the one who pawned the knife was the head of the He family, He Zhixiang.

That knife was pawned by her eldest paternal cousin.

Speaking of that knife, she also recalled an interesting incident.

That is, He Zhixiang's son He Wanlin, who was a university classmate of her eldest paternal cousin.

Precisely because of that connection, He Zhixiang managed to find the knife that her eldest paternal cousin had pawned.

After pawning that knife, her eldest paternal cousin just died.

Then his classmate He Wanlin thought it was because their family's matters were too big, causing her eldest paternal cousin to suffer heavenly retribution or backlash, which led to his death.

He knelt in her eldest paternal cousin's memorial hall and cried for a day and a night.

At that time, his elder paternal cousin had already booked an interview with the Reincarnation Department before heading down; now, with his crying and shouting, her eldest paternal cousin was summoned back up.

After all, it hasn't even been the seventh day; if someone's obsession with a relative is too deep, it can also pull the soul back up.

Thus her eldest paternal cousin, after just starting the interview below, was cried back up once; returning to continue the Q&A with the examiner, he hadn't answered two sentences before being cried back up again.

Angered at her eldest paternal cousin, he directly borrowed ghostly power and manifested on the spot in the memorial hall, asking: "He Wanlin, are you calling souls here?"

Then He Wanlin was so frightened that he fainted on the spot; when he went back, he ran a fever for three days and three nights.

While recalling this, Tushan Jiu couldn't help but want to laugh.

Xie Shiyu was leading her through security, with a dedicated staff member guiding them through quickly.

Private planes also require security checks, but the procedure is simpler than the normal process, and the policy on what can be carried is more lenient.

However, even if Tushan Jiu were to take a regular flight now, she would no longer worry about bringing a knife through security.

Because of her bracelet, the machine cannot detect it.

So she didn't even bring any luggage.

Of course, Xie Shiyu's suitcase was also placed inside her bracelet by her.

After passing security, they headed to the hall, and Xie Shiyu asked her what she had been laughing about just then.

Tushan Jiu was about to tell him the reason.

But then she heard someone behind her call out, "Miss Tushan?"

Turning back together with Xie Shiyu, Tushan Jiu's eyebrows slightly lifted, somewhat surprised.

Speak of the devil and he appears?

Not far away, striding quickly toward her, was precisely her eldest paternal cousin's classmate.

He Wanlin had an enthusiastic smile on his face: "Turns out I really didn't mistake you; it really is you, Miss Tushan. I don't know if you still remember me—I'm your cousin's classmate, He Wanlin."

Tushan Jiu nodded: "En, I remember—you're the one who fainted from fright in my eldest paternal cousin's memorial hall."

He Wanlin's smile froze for a moment, with visible twitching at the corners of his mouth.

But he quickly returned to normal; he's used to it, after all, Tushan Pu speaks very straightforwardly as well.

He glanced at the person beside Tushan Jiu.

Upon seeing him, he was also surprised; Tushan Jiu introduced the two: "He Wanlin, son of the Yun Shi Yunxiang Aviation Industry shareholder; the He family is one of those I'm collecting debts from this time."

After saying that, she told He Wanlin: "This is my fiancé, Xie Shiyu."

He Wanlin glanced at Tushan Jiu; it turned out that Xie Shiyu's mysterious fiancée was actually Miss Tushan.

He extended his hand to Xie Shiyu: "Hello, Mr. Xie; I've long admired your name."

Xie Shiyu politely shook hands: "Hello, Mr. He."

As soon as Tushan Jiu mentioned Yunxiang Aviation, Xie Shiyu automatically matched the connection.

He Wanlin had just taken office not long ago as the deputy general manager of Yunxiang Aviation Industry.

Contrary to Tushan Jiu, Xie Shiyu has a better memory.

Yunxiang also held a press release for this, announcing his appointment.

Tushan Jiu wasn't surprised that they knew each other; after all, neither the Xie Clan nor Yunxiang are small companies, and they both attract high public attention.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, He Wanlin asked Tushan Jiu, "Are you heading back to Yun Shi?"

Yeah, I'm going back to collect a debt. Since I ran into you here, when you go back, tell your father that I'll come to his house in a few days to collect the debt; as for compensation, just have him prepare a helicopter.

Upon hearing that, Xie Shiyu and He Wanlin both turned their gazes to Tushan Jiu.

He Wanlin was purely curious and asked, "Miss Tushan, why don't you want money?"

He remembered that the Tushan family had always been rather straitened financially.

Back then, her eldest cousin's memorial hall was really shabby—nothing at all, just a coffin with a photo placed on it, put up half-heartedly.

Or it was the memorial hall he felt guilty enough to pay for and set up.

Anyway, a helicopter is just an object; most of the time it just sits there costing money—it would be more practical to ask for cash.

But upon second thought, her fiancé is Xie Shiyu, so she probably isn't short of money either.

Sure enough, the next second Tushan Jiu spoke up, "I'm not short of money; just collecting a few debts would keep me well provided for. I want the helicopter as compensation because I intend to use it as my dowry."

"... Alright, I was overthinking it. I'll tell my dad later to get it ready." He Wanlin chuckled.

Tushan Jiu nodded, "No problem, not in a rush. I'll first go to the He Family to collect a debt; once it's ready, just have someone send it to the Xie Family in Nan Cheng."

She turned to Xie Shiyu and said, "When the time comes, don't forget to tell Steward Wu to make the arrangements."

Xie Shiyu gave a helpless smile, took her hand and rubbed it twice, and replied, "Yeah, I know."
