Ice is not averse to deception

Sun Bing boarded the train to Yanji. At this moment, all he wanted to do was to quickly finish Zhang Defa's funeral arrangements, obtain Bingyuan's information, and restart his life.

Sitting to the side, Wu Dayong looked much more miserable. He had finally built up his reputation among the neighbors and was about to start harvesting chives with a sickle when his whereabouts were discovered by his creditors.

Now look what happened. He had made a quick decision to agree to help Sun Bing with Zhang Defa's funeral arrangements, but he hadn't expected to cut off his own escape route.

He can't just get off the bus now, what would that make him?

Wu Dayong remained listless throughout the journey, his mind preoccupied with figuring out how to get Sun Bing to focus on finding the ice source as soon as possible.

Even with the help of fraud psychology, Wu Dayong couldn't come up with any good methods.

What Wu Dayong didn't know was that, according to the information Sun Bing had received, as long as he could handle Zhang Defa's funeral arrangements, he could obtain the Ice Source information and defy fate.

What's even more ridiculous is that Sun Bing believes Wu Dayong's despondency and decadence are all due to his longing for Zhang Defa.

Even though it's still more than 300 kilometers away from Yanji, the project is still progressing smoothly.

While Sun Bing silently gave Wu Dayong a thumbs up, Liu Qiang was also making his own plans at his mother-in-law Liu Hong's house.

  

Sun Bing said that as long as Liu Ruo is willing, he will divorce her, and then his new brother-in-law Cai Shan can take the opportunity to rise to power. Before they're even married, Cai Shan has already given his future brother-in-law a BMW X1. If they get married, won't Liu Qiang's life just take off from there?

Thinking about this made Liu Qiang so excited that he couldn't sleep.

But Liu Qiang was also under a lot of pressure. He knew that Liu Ruo actually had deep feelings for Sun Bing. Although Liu Ruo had been living at her parents' home for a long time, no matter how much he and Liu Hong tried to persuade her, Liu Ruo did not agree to divorce Sun Bing.

But today's events also gave Liu Qiang some insights. Sun Bing had clearly misunderstood, thinking that Liu Ruo had accepted her new brother-in-law Cai Shan...

If I could make my older sister misunderstand too...

Although the idea is good, it is indeed difficult to implement.

In fact, Liu Ruo returned home late that day because of Cai Shan. She and her daughter ran into her younger brother and Cai Shan on their way back. Cai Shan was holding a bouquet of flowers, which he had specially prepared for her.

Liu Ruo didn't want to accept the flowers, but Cai Shan said that they were high school classmates and the bouquet only represented their friendship and had no other meaning.

Seeing that Cai Shan had said so, Liu Ruo had no reason to refuse, so she hid the flowers in the trunk.

She just didn't know if Sun Bing had seen it or not, and she always felt that she had deliberately hidden the truth, which was why she seemed a little evasive.

Unexpectedly, this caused a misunderstanding.

The next morning, Liu Qiang got up very early and went to Sun Bing's seal-making shop.

Hoping to get some information out of Sun Bing, I even turned on the phone's recording function.

As soon as I entered, I saw Grandma Chen cooking in the kitchen, while Sun Xiaoni looked like she had just gotten up, still sleepy-eyed.

"Liu Qiang, what are you doing here again?"

Upon seeing Liu Qiang, Sun Xiaoni appeared impatient. Of course, she knew that Liu Qiang was one of the obstacles to her parents' reconciliation.

"How dare you speak like that? I'm your uncle. Where's Sun Bing? Where is he?"

"Does Brother Bing need to report to you where he goes? Go away, you're not welcome here." Sun Xiaoni directly gave him the order to leave.

Liu Qiang, with a shameless attitude, sat down at the table and started eating as soon as Grandma Chen finished making the soy milk and egg pancakes.

He was immediately met with a cold shoulder from Granny Chen.

Even while eating, Liu Qiang couldn't stop talking. He said to Nini, "Nini, your mom misses you a lot these days. Go stay at your uncle's house for a few days when you have time."

Nini immediately refused: "If you miss me, come visit me. I'm not going to your place; my home is here."

Liu Qiang was at his wits' end; this little girl was just like her mother, incredibly stubborn.

"Nini, how about your uncle finds you a new dad? He'll have plenty of money, and he can buy you whatever you want. You like dancing, right? Your uncle will enroll you in the best dance training class and hire the best dance teacher. You're so talented; following Sun Bing will only hinder your development sooner or later."

Sun Xiaoni was too lazy to pay attention to Liu Qiang, rolled her eyes, and simply took her food to eat on the side.

"Why is this little girl so stubborn? I'm only doing this for your own good. Sun Bing is a good-for-nothing; what kind of good life can you expect if you stay with him?"

Before Sun Xiaoni could say anything, Grandma Sun next to her grabbed her chopsticks and hit Liu Qiang on the head.

"You bad person! Who said Sun Bing is unambitious? He works very hard, okay?"

Even if Liu Qiang was a scoundrel, he wouldn't lay a hand on an old man. He smiled helplessly and said, "What's the use of trying? This is just a run-down stamp-making shop. How much money can you make no matter how hard you try? You're treating this shabby shop like a treasure."

"That's still better than you. What can you do all day besides sponging off your parents?"

Liu Qiang didn't really take Grandma Sun's attacks seriously. Living off one's parents might sound unpleasant, but it's actually quite enjoyable to do it.

Now it's even worse; not only is my mother letting me sponge off my parents, but now a wealthy new brother-in-law has appeared.

Why work hard when you can just relax? Isn't that just making things difficult for yourself?

Knowing he might not see Sun Bing today, Liu Qiang finished his meal, wiped his mouth, and prepared to leave.

Before leaving, she couldn't resist a sarcastic remark: "Nini, when your dad gets back, tell him he doesn't need to keep hiding from me. Why are you acting like a coward?"

Grandma Sun was displeased. "Who said Sun Bing is avoiding you? He went to Yanji."

Yanji?

Upon hearing the name Yanji, Liu Qing's eyes lit up instantly.

Yanji is a great place.

Liu Qiang had been thinking about this all night yesterday but couldn't come up with a good solution. Then, while he was having dinner, he suddenly had an epiphany.

Seeing that the computer next to him was on, Liu Qiang used the excuse of promising something to look at Sun Bing's chat history.

Sure enough, Liu Qiang saw a familiar name in his friend list: Dongmei.

Excitedly opening the chat box, Liu Qiang was even more pleasantly surprised.

Yesterday afternoon around 6 PM, Dongmei sent Sun Bing a text message with just two words: "Are you there?"

Sun Bing did not reply.

Liu Qiang immediately realized what was happening and turned to ask Granny Sun, "What time did Sun Bing leave yesterday?"

Grandma Sun didn't take it seriously and casually said, "It's not even eight o'clock yet, what's it to you?"

Liu Qiang suddenly became excited. The two contacted each other at around 6 o'clock, and Sun Bing set off for Yanji at around 7 o'clock. How could he not wait and go overnight?

Liu Qiang was so excited that he left the seal-making shop in a hurry without even turning off his computer.

Sun Xiaoni didn't realize anything at first. Her intuition was that Liu Qiang being her uncle was a judgment of fate, and she must have done something wrong in her past life.

Today is the weekend, so Sun Xiaoni doesn't have to go to school. Besides, the school will be closed tomorrow after the party. After finishing her meal, Sun Xiaoni started tidying up the shop.

Before I knew it, I saw the ripped dance costume behind the counter.

Things suddenly became a little strange. Sun Xiaoni knew that it definitely wasn't her father who broke it, otherwise he would have told her.

Sensing something was amiss, the precocious Sun Xiaoni immediately checked the store's security camera footage and saw the scene of Sun Bing and Liu Qiang confronting each other the day before.

After turning off the surveillance cameras, Sun Xiaoni was furious, her face flushed. Her uncle was indeed an unreliable person, actually forcing Sun Bing to divorce Liu Ruo.

Bad guy!

But as soon as she turned off the monitoring, Sun Xiaoni saw the chat page that Liu Qiang hadn't had time to close on the computer screen.

After staring at the screen for a while, and recalling Liu Qiang's behavior just now, Sun Xiaoni slapped her thigh: "Oh no!"
