The Jiang family's grand celebration banquet became the new headline news in Jiangcheng.

Since its inception, the Civilized Village project has attracted much attention from citizens. As each Civilized Village has been built and improved, it has developed into a new tourist attraction.

Many online celebrities have gone there to take photos, making it one of the must-visit attractions in Wuhan.

The local villagers have opened various shops, selling handicrafts, local specialties, and beverages. The establishment of the civilized village has opened up a new way of life for them.

They no longer need to rely on agricultural products for survival or live at the mercy of the weather.

The celebration banquet for the civilized village project has become a hot topic among netizens.

--May the world have more conscientious companies like Jiang's.

Compared to the Pu family, the Jiang family is far superior.

--Pu Shengwei hasn't been caught yet. Rumor has it he has a very powerful sorcerer helping him. They should catch him quickly, so he can't continue harming people.

--Do you know about the feud between the Jiang and Pu families thirty years ago? Don't be fooled by the Jiang family's current dominance; back then, they were nothing but ants compared to the established Pu family. Although the Jiang family was still very wealthy compared to ordinary people, the Pu family was terrifying back then.

--I heard my grandfather mention that when the news came out that the Pu family had been shut down, my grandfather said that they hadn't gone bankrupt yet.

--That's right, I've been wondering about the Pu family's comeback. They started out doing all sorts of shady businesses, how come they haven't fallen from grace yet?

--Simple, they have connections. A high-ranking official was recently replaced; you can follow the news. I suspect the Pu family's rapid downfall is related to this.

……

The news of the Jiang family's victory celebration banquet and the seizure of the Pu family's assets was played on a loop, highlighting the irony.

Early in the morning, Song Qingge was woken up by the maids. When she opened her eyes, a row of formal dresses was in front of her.

"Young Madam, these are evening gowns prepared for you. The Third Young Master specifically instructed that you should choose them yourself."

Looking around, you can find everything from sophisticated and elegant cool tones to lively and enthusiastic warm tones.

All the clothes I've owned since I was a child don't add up to this many.

After much deliberation, Song Qingge finally chose the simplest black fitted fishtail dress.

The dress has a simple color scheme, but the cut is smooth, and the back features an oval mesh cutout design.

The dress features an off-the-shoulder design, adorned with silver diamond jewels that accentuate her perfectly prominent collarbones.

The black color accentuated her fair and delicate skin.

During the fitting, the maids couldn't help but exclaim with stars in their eyes, "Young Madam, you are absolutely stunning!"

Their third young master deserves good things, but it didn't mean he deserves this much!

There was still some time before the evening party. After trying on the clothes, I handed them to the maid to have the designer make some simple alterations, and waited for them to be delivered tonight so I could change into them.

After the maids left, there was a sudden clanging sound on the balcony, and Song Qingge looked over warily.

Be prepared to act at any time, and slowly move closer to the balcony.

"who."

No one responded.

There was only a rustling sound.

Through the faintly visible white gauze curtains, only the figure of a slender man and a ghost could be seen.

She frowned.

After taking two more steps, she stopped speechlessly, crossed her arms in front of her, and faced the balcony.

The balcony door opened along its sliding track, and Yue Lingyu peered down from the balcony; no one was there.

He let out a heavy breath.

"Luckily we weren't discovered, otherwise we definitely wouldn't have been able to get up here."

Song Qingge was speechless: "Why did you come all the way here yourself?"

"Nonsense." Yue Lingyu slumped into the swaying chair, closing her eyes to enjoy the cool breeze from the air conditioner. "If I don't come with my physical body, how can I help you? My strength will be halved."

The little devil skillfully sat on his lap, swinging his short legs: "Daddy Yue is lying. He came to ask when you, Sister Song, will be able to break through your cultivation level."

Breaking through the realm means that the little ghost can be reincarnated. As the little ghost's great-grandfather said, the reason why the little ghost's soul has remained intact until now is because of her.

Song Qingge saw through her scheme and sat down on the edge of the bed: "Why don't you go and reincarnate with the little ghost, like Lin Sheng followed Qin Su and Qin Mu, becoming a good ghost and reincarnating with the little ghost."

"Hey, kid's parents are planning to have a second child. Why don't you reincarnate with him? You've already cultivated yourself into a human in this life, so you should be qualified to be reincarnated as a human in the next life. You and kid can be his parents' twins."

Yue Lingyu was speechless: "I'm genuinely concerned about you. Little devils are meant to be reincarnated anyway, so let them go. I'm not reluctant at all."

"Yeah?"

Song Qingge smiled.

Do not believe.

Obviously, the little devil didn't believe it either. His chubby little hands pinched and kneaded the corners of his father's drooping mouth, lifting them up and letting them fall, lifting them up and letting them fall again, repeatedly torturing them.

Trying to make Daddy Yue happy.

Knowing when to stop, Song Qingge looked at the top of Yue Lingyu's head, then at her left and right shoulders.

"What are you looking at?"

"Your fate isn't over yet, don't worry." Song Qingge rested her hands on the soft mattress behind her.

There is a strong kinship between Yue Lingyu and the little ghost.

As for why the little ghost would be associated with the Transformed Lingzhi, that remains unknown.

Little devil: "I can't possibly be reincarnated as a Ganoderma lucidum and then have to cultivate for a thousand years before I can become human again, can I???"

Yue Lingyu grinned mischievously, pinching the little devil's chubby face: "Hehehe, it's my turn to torment you now. A thousand years is enough."

The two were playfully bickering, while Yue Lingyu would occasionally log on to process the Xuanmen's orders, discussing with Song Qingge which disciples to assign the orders to as training tasks.

Before we knew it, night had fallen, and an hour before the party, the evening gown arrived on time.

Yue Lingyu led the little ghost to the party venue to prepare, and before leaving, she patted Song Qingge on the shoulder: "Don't worry, we're here."

Even if it costs him all his magic power, he must save Song Qingge.

This was his only and best friend.

The two embraced tightly.

"Thanks."

……

Wearing a black fishtail dress, Song Qingge became the focus of attention as soon as she appeared at the party.

All eyes were on them.

Everyone's face showed a mixture of admiration and envy, but no one questioned whether this was a perfect couple.

The burgundy suit and butterfly tie accentuated the man's pale, snow-white complexion.

He has a tall and aloof demeanor, keeping strangers at bay; everyone who sees him either nods respectfully or bows.

Song Qingge watched calmly, and couldn't help but chuckle.

"What's wrong?"

"No." Song Qingge recalled softly, "I just remembered half a year ago, the same people and the same scene, we were standing in the corner, and no one cared."

They were even slandered and expelled from the venue at one point.

The first banquet she attended after marrying into the Jiang family was He Yuanchuan's birthday party. By now, He Yuanchuan should have adapted to prison life.

Soon, Pu Shengwei will be able to come and keep him company.

"Yes." This year has been full of ups and downs, and he has seen too many people who change their tune in the blink of an eye.

Only you know the true nature of human relationships.

He gripped the girl's small hand tightly.

My heart beat like a drum, each beat clearly striking my eardrums.

They were afraid that if they let go, they would lose their loved ones forever.

For the entire night, he followed Song Qingge wherever she went.

When he was socializing with people, he would bring Song Qingge with him.

She understood why he acted that way, so she followed quietly, often hearing his compliments.

"Mr. and Mrs. Jiang are so loving, they're inseparable."

At this point, Jiang Zhou would always correct him: "She has a name, Song Qingge, and her own profession. You can call her Miss Song or Master Song. She is more than just my wife; you don't need to use my name to refer to her."

Song Qingge smiled slightly as she gazed at this adorable man.

When it was just the two of them left, she was overcome with emotion, and it wasn't just a spur-of-the-moment decision: "Let's get our marriage certificate tomorrow."

tomorrow.

For them at this moment, it is the most extravagant and the most weighty promise.

Jiang Zhou stared intently into the girl's beautiful, earnest almond-shaped eyes and nodded emphatically: "Okay."

Ouch!

Gunshots suddenly rang out outside the banquet hall, and Jiang Zhou instinctively stepped in front of them.

He glanced at her seriously and said, "You run first, get out of here."

Song Qingge didn't object and obediently replied, "Okay."

Jiang Zhou was stunned.

He stared into Song Qingge's eyes for a long time.

He had already prepared his advice to persuade her to leave first, but he didn't expect her to agree so easily. For a moment, he couldn't tell whether he was surprised or disappointed.

Bang!

The banquet hall door was kicked open, and outside, people lay sprawled on the floor.

They were wearing their own bodyguard team uniforms.

The same scene, yet different.

In yesterday's dream, the bodyguard captain and vice-captain were still alive, but now they are lying outside the door.

Their hands struggled to reach out to the man in black, desperately trying to stop him, but they eventually lost consciousness.

The two men in black, who were in the lead, had their guns pointed at them.

The guests were so frightened that they covered their heads and hid in the ground, not daring to make a sound.

"Today is your death day, Jiang Zhou!" threatened the slightly taller man in black.

The other, shorter man in black, who wasn't carrying a gun, said: "Song Qingge, do you regret helping her?"

They were masked, just like in the dream.

Song Qingge stared at the man in black who had no gun, but did not answer.

"He must be regretting it now. He was so arrogant and interfered in other people's karma. He never expected it to be so difficult to resolve, and that he would even lose his life."

The man in black who hadn't grabbed anything gritted his teeth, and as he spoke, he subconsciously glanced at the other man in black who was leading the group and had a gun.

Song Qingge smiled faintly: "Liang Xin, you can't even pretend properly, at least bring a gun."

The man in black paused, his arrogant demeanor seemingly struck dumb by a blow to the head.

He immediately realized, "Measuring my heart? I'm not."

However, before he could fabricate a new identity, the mask flew out of thin air.

His true colors were revealed.

"I told you, if you can't pretend, then don't pretend."

Now that he was exposed, there was no point in hiding anything, so Pu Shengwei simply took off his mask and pulled the trigger.

Liang Xin bit her lip tightly, determined: "We've come this far, there's no turning back. Song Qingge, do you think that just because you see through us, you and Jiang Zhou will be saved?"

Everyone here will become our puppets. You can't escape, especially since we have guns. We've already taken care of the bodyguards outside.

He spread his hands defiantly: "This time, I won."

at last!

He finally won, and he could die without regrets.

His decision to cooperate with Pu Shengwei was the worst decision he ever made, which allowed Pu Shengwei to hold all his leverage over him.

Once handed over to the police, he will have no way to escape.

Since there's no turning back, let's just go all the way down this path.

"You lost, Song Qingge."

Song Qingge smiled faintly, tilting her head to look outside: "Is that so? I don't think so."
