A sly glint flashed in Tangtang's eyes. Instead of letting go, she defiantly tightened her grip on Chu Yang's arm, her chin slightly raised, her gaze towards Hua Xiyue filled with undisguised mockery.

"Auntie~ who are you? My husband and I are deeply in love, true love conquers all, what business is it of yours to tell us what to do?"

"True love?"

Chu Yang felt a chill run down his spine and quickly tried to break free, shouting, "Stop messing around!"

Tangtang, however, has developed a wicked sense of humor.

In her confrontations with Chu Yang today, she was at a disadvantage every time, which is very rare in her life.

Now that she has a chance to turn the tide, she naturally won't let it go.

"That's not what you said when you kissed me! You're going to deny it now?"

She deliberately emphasized the word "dear," glancing smugly at Hua Xiyue.

"You!" Hua Xiyue's true energy surged violently, the Moonflower Sword's hum suddenly became sharp, the sword's body radiated a cold moonlight, and the immense pressure spread out as if it were a tangible force, making the air in the entire space seem to freeze.

The air was chilling, and the killing intent was palpable!

Tangtang's heart pounded wildly at the terrifying aura emanating from her. She instantly realized that this "auntie" was no ordinary person; her cultivation was unfathomable. Like a frightened rabbit, she clung tightly to Chu Yang, her voice trembling with tears:

"Waaaaah... Uncle, help me! This old lady is trying to kill me to cover it up!"

Seeing that Hua Xiyue's phoenix eyes had narrowed into slits and that the Moonlit Sword had begun to emit a pure moonlight aura, Chu Yang quickly lowered his voice and said:

"Tell me, how much?"

"Give me everything in your bag." A glint of light flashed in Tangtang's eyes.

"Dream on! At most 100,000!" Chu Yang said decisively.

"Deal!" Tangtang answered instantly, her movements as swift as lightning.

Before she could finish speaking, she had already released Chu Yang's arm as if throwing away a hot potato. The grievance and fear on her face vanished instantly, replaced by exaggerated starry eyes and a cloying smile. She then clasped her hands together in front of Hua Xiyue:

"Wow! Fairy sister! I'm so sorry! I was just joking with you!" She hopped up to Hua Xiyue, tilted her little face up, and looked so "sincere" that you could practically squeeze water out of her eyes.

"You're so beautiful, like a fairy, with an extraordinary and refined air. You're truly a lucky man!"

Hua Xiyue's sword intent, which was poised to be unleashed, was abruptly interrupted by this sudden and "shameless" change in attitude. Her hand holding the sword froze in mid-air, and a rare look of bewilderment and astonishment appeared on her usually cold face.

"What...what exactly is your relationship with him?"

Tangtang immediately put on a tearful expression and nuzzled Hua Xiyue's arm with her little head, but Hua Xiyue subtly avoided her.

"Fairy sister, I have absolutely no relationship with this man. It's just that he looks a lot like my father who passed away many years ago. Whenever I think of my father, I just... sob sob..."

Although Hua Xiyue was in a bad mood, she was not blinded by her emotions. She was skeptical of what Tangtang said, but since Tangtang had already brought up her deceased father, she couldn't say anything more.

She pointed at Chu Yang and said, "He's no good! I advise you not to jump into this trap."

Having said that, she didn't linger. She leaped up and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Tangtang smiled mischievously, pursing her lips and spreading her little hands.

Chu Yang slapped 100,000 yuan into her hand with an annoyed look. "Tell me, why are you so greedy?"

Tangtang happily put the 100,000 yuan into her bag.

"Compared to you, I'm nothing. We've only known each other for less than half a day, and you've already swindled someone out of 1.2 billion. By the way, your wife is really beautiful. How did you manage to win her over?"

Chu Yang rolled his eyes at her. "You're such a little liar! Isn't your godfather Li Heihu? Why didn't he recognize you just now?"

Tangtang, with her thick skin, scoffed dismissively.

"When you're out in the world, how can you not lie? Don't even think about bullying me. My boyfriend, Ai Qiandao, is not someone to be trifled with. The Ai family of Northern Frontier is like the local tyrants of the North."

As she spoke, her expression was one of exaggerated helplessness, and she let out a deep sigh.

Chu Yang opened his mouth, but ultimately didn't expose him.

Seeing that Chu Yang seemed unconvinced, Tangtang quickly added, "Let me tell you, I really didn't lie this time. I've known him since we were little, back when he was called Ai Wuxin. After he was burned in the fire in the capital, his family thought the name wasn't good, so he changed it not long after. He just arrived in Donghai, but... I don't really want to see him right now."

Chu Yang frowned upon hearing this.

"Are you... serious?"

Tangtang hummed in agreement. "I also know that someone impersonated him a few days ago to swindle people. He's probably here because of that too."

Chu Yang was puzzled again, "You said you haven't seen him this time, so how did you know he was here?"

Tangtang shrugged. "That day at the airport, I was waiting for that old pervert outside the men's restroom. I didn't originally intend to take his suitcase, since he was disabled at the time. But then I suddenly saw him. To avoid being seen by him, I ran away with the suitcase."

After analyzing the situation, Chu Yang concluded that Tangtang's words were not entirely unbelievable.

This news was crucial to him.

If Ai Qiandao really came to the East Sea because of his impersonation, normally it should have been a big fuss, but none of the prestigious families received the news.

If there is any news, the Xiao family will definitely inform him.

Tangtang suddenly smiled smugly.

"I now suspect that the person impersonating him is that good-for-nothing son-in-law of the beautiful CEO of the Su Group. That guy even shares the same name as you."

Chu Yang: "..."

Although he was very dissatisfied with the title of "useless son-in-law", he felt that Tangtang was not only quick-witted, but also had a very complicated background.

Just then, Liu Fangfei called.

"My dear love, what time is it? Why aren't you coming?"

Chu Yang slapped his forehead and quickly apologized, "Sorry! Something happened just now, I'll be right there."

Back at Gu Bao Zhai, Chu Yang found the new store manager, Chen Shun.

"Mr. Chu, I think the gift you're giving must be understated yet luxurious and meaningful."

As Chen Shun spoke, he led Chu Yang to the third floor.

This contains the most valuable antiques and jewelry in the Gu Bao Zhai collection.

Chu Yang nodded repeatedly, "That guy Xiao Heizi really has quite a few good things. But... there's still nothing I particularly like."

Chen Shun opened the safe with a smile and took out a square stone seal from it.

Chu Yang's eyes widened suddenly: "Great! This is it!"

Upon seeing a broken rock, Tangtang immediately pouted.

"You're so stingy! How could that pretty auntie have taken a liking to you?"
