190 Dead mouth, what are you laughing at!

A tableful of food, Tushan Jiu ate while thinking.

When her gaze swept to the liquor cabinet opposite the table, a person and a ghost suddenly appeared in her mind.

She picked up her phone and directly sent a message to Zhou Yilan, asking her to help look up a person on the system—Han Linran.

As a result, Zhou Yilan was quick; she replied within two minutes.

【The netherworld side has no registration.】

After replying with a thanks, Tushan Jiu put down her phone and then ate wholeheartedly.

After finishing her meal, she received a message from Bai Yu, saying he had just come out of the police station and the police had begun filing an investigation.

Of course, the video handed over to the police also genuinely captured Xiao Mei.

This video will be permanently sealed, but it is likewise ironclad evidence.

Although Tushan Jiu had expected this, she still listened seriously to Bai Yu finish speaking.

Bai Yu asked her whether she wanted to go to his premiere tomorrow.

She said she would be returning to Nan Cheng tomorrow afternoon.

As it turned out, Bai Yu said his premiere was tomorrow morning, and he would also return to Nan Cheng in the afternoon, asking her what time her flight was so he could accompany her.

Then, upon hearing that Tushan Jiu would be taking a private plane back, he shamelessly asked to hitch a ride!

Tushan Jiu generously said yes.

After hanging up, she sent another message to Xie Shiyu, because the private plane also required personnel to be reported.

Having visited Jiang City several times before, Tushan Jiu felt there was nothing left to see, so the next day she went straight to shops with Jiang City characteristics to pick gifts for everyone in the Xie family, then headed straight to the airport.

As for Bai Yu's side, she didn't need to worry; after the premiere ended, someone would send him to the airport.

The plane took off and landed; after landing, Tushan Jiu let Bai Yu go ahead first.

Although it was a private tarmac, his identity was simply too eye‑catching, with fans everywhere, causing a lot of trouble.

Bai Yu felt he was being disliked again, but there was nothing he could do, so he left feeling wronged.

Xie Shiyu came to pick up Tushan Jiu.

Upon seeing Tushan Jiu, he first asked her: 'Are you feeling unwell?'

Tushan Jiu nodded: 'Yes! My ears feel awful!'

Hearing her angry tone, Xie Shiyu thought for a moment and asked with some certainty: 'Was it Bai Yu who bothered you?'

'Exactly, it's him!'

That guy Bai Yu, I don't know if he thinks everyone else's stuff is better or what, but he kept comparing everything to his family's private plane the whole time.

One moment he'd say 'My family's plane doesn't have this,' the next 'My family's plane isn't as good as the Xies'; when we get back we'll have to replace it.'

Finally, after he finished touring, he started gossiping about various celebrity directors; his chattering mouth never stopped the whole time.

Later, she simply said she was tired and went to her room to seek quiet.

Xie Shiyu took Tushan Jiu's hand and walked toward the airport exit, listening to her complaints as they went, and secretly decided that when he found a chance to invest in a film, he would have the director cast him as a man with a speech impediment.

At this moment, Bai Yu, already seated in the car, sneezed hard twice.

He rubbed his nose and muttered: 'Who's missing this young master so much?'

Today, to pick up Tushan Jiu, Xie Shiyu drove himself.

After getting in the car, he didn't immediately start driving.

He just stared straight at Tushan Jiu.

I don't know why, but Tushan Jiu now instantly understands him.

'Shall I kiss you?' Tushan Jiu asked, feigning innocence.

Xie Shiyu laughed in exasperation: 'One won't do; it has to be three.'

Tushan Jiu tilted her head, blinked, and asked, 'Why must it be three?'

'Because a day apart feels like three autumns?'

Tushan Jiu was amused, leaned forward, wrapped her arms around his head, and gave three quick kisses—mua, mua, mua—then, without hiding her feelings, she said: 'I miss you, Xie Shiyu.'

Before, when I watched it online, I found it cheesy, but now that I'm in a relationship, seeing him every day yet sometimes not seeing him for a day really makes me miss him quite a bit.

This must be the horror of habit, right?

But this habit isn't so bad either.

She has always accepted each stage of life openly.

After kissing, she didn't give Xie Shiyu a chance to grab her, quickly fastened her seatbelt, and said, 'Home!'

'Fine, you didn't even kiss properly; we'll wait until we get home.' Xie Shiyu threatened fiercely.

Tushan Jiu, feeling secure, raised an eyebrow and smiled.

Xie Shiyu helplessly shook his head; the smile at the corners of his mouth didn't fade but grew. He sat up straight, pulled over the seatbelt and fastened it, then started the car.

Returning to the old residence, everyone was there today.

Even Xie Jingzhou and Xie Jingting were both at home.

Tushan Jiu happened to have the gifts she bought for them, which she then handed out.

Jiang City's specialties are embroidery crafts and ceramic crafts.

Tushan Jiu found some acquaintances and transferred to her some antique collectibles worth keeping.

Old Master Xie's is a hollowed-out purple clay pot from over seven hundred years ago.

Xie Wenmo's is a set of Ru ware tea ware from over seven hundred years ago.

Xu Airu's is a purely hand‑embroidered cheongsam.

Xie Jingzhou's is a set of the Four Treasures of the Study, an item belonging to a top scholar from over five hundred years ago.

Finally, it was Xie Jingting's turn to receive two shares.

Xie Jingting beamed with delight, "Sister-in-law, you're being too good to me—I actually got two gifts!"

Tushan Jiu smiled politely, "You're overthinking it; that pink box is for Qingyi, and inside is a double-sided embroidered scarf."

Upon hearing that his girlfriend also had a share, Xie Jingting's smile widened even more, "Thank you, sister-in-law!"

Seeing his silly smile, Xu Airu kicked him and said, "When are you bringing your girlfriend home?"

Xie Jingting scratched his head, feeling unusually embarrassed, "Oh, just wait a bit longer—I do want to bring her, but my family's Qingyi is really shy."

Xu Airu kept feeling the exquisitely crafted cheongsam in her hands, "Alright, alright, I won't ask about your young people's affairs, but I'm telling you, you must not bully that girl, you hear? If you dare act like those good-for-nothing kids, I'll break your leg!"

Tushan Jiu also adopted the attitude of an elder sister-in-law, nodding in agreement with Xu Airu's words and echoing, "Mm, break his leg!"

Xie Jingting's ears turned red, and he hurriedly replied, "Got it, got it."

Xu Airu and Tushan Jiu exchanged a glance, then both raised their eyebrows.

Regarding the united front of mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law, Xie Wenmo and Xie Shiyu also smiled helplessly.

Old Master Xie looked on and smiled, his eyes and brows full of contentment.

The Xie family's good traditions have never been maintained by just one generation.

On the other side of the single sofa, Xie Jingzhou secretly rejoiced that he hadn't been warned about getting his leg broken, while he pursed his lips and smirked.

As a result, after being glared at by Xie Jingting, he retaliated with a report: "Lately I've heard that a girl has been chasing the second brother, but the second brother heartlessly made that girl cry!"

Xie Jingzhou: "......"

You dead mouth, what are you laughing at!
