Chapter 114

The caller was none other than her mother, Lin Yuzhen.

"Shihan, tonight is your grandmother's birthday. She wants to see both you and Fengyun. Have you forgotten?"

Tang Shihan suddenly remembered. She had been so overwhelmed with work that the occasion had completely slipped her mind. But now that she and Ye Fengyun had parted ways, she could not bring him along.

Without offering much explanation, Tang Shihan simply said, "Alright, Mom, I'm heading over now."

Tang Anqi asked, "Sister Shihan, are you going to the Lin family's home?"

"Yes, I’m going to celebrate Grandmother's birthday," Tang Shihan replied. She pulled Tang Anqi downstairs and dropped her off at home.

Tang Shihan drove to pick up Lin Yuzhen. Once inside the car, Lin Yuzhen asked in confusion, "Where is Fengyun?"

"He's gone," Tang Shihan said coldly, starting the engine and heading toward the Lin estate.

Lin Yuzhen was shocked. "Gone? Where did he go?"

"He betrayed me, so I kicked him out," Tang Shihan said, her tone remaining icy, though her heart was filled with grief and indignation.

Lin Yuzhen was stunned again. "Fengyun betrayed you? How is that even possible?"

Without a word, Tang Shihan tossed a photograph to her mother. Lin Yuzhen took it, looking completely bewildered.

"But your grandmother specifically asked to see you and Fengyun. If he doesn't show up, how are you going to explain it?" Lin Yuzhen asked with concern.

Tang Shihan replied coldly, "I'll just tell the truth. Why should someone like him care about saving face?"

Lin Yuzhen sighed. "Even if he doesn't care, you have to. You’ve only just been married, and he’s already cheating? This—"

Tang Shihan snorted, fell silent, and pressed down on the accelerator, driving toward the Lin residence.

Meanwhile, on the road, Ye Fengyun happened to run into Lin Qinghuan, who had just finished buying a gift and was heading home.

Lin Qinghuan spotted Ye Fengyun on the side of the road and stopped her car to ask, "Hey, what are you doing here?"

Ye Fengyun did not answer, continuing to walk silently along the street.

Sensing that something was wrong, Lin Qinghuan got out of the car and blocked his path. "Ye Fengyun, you have something on your mind, don't you?"

"Is there something you need?" Ye Fengyun asked.

"Of course! It's my grandmother's birthday tonight, and I'm on my way to celebrate. Didn't you know?"

"I didn't."

"Considering the family ties, you're supposed to call her Grandmother. You didn't even know that?" Lin Qinghuan pouted.

"Has your grandmother had any recurrence of old illnesses lately?" Ye Fengyun asked.

Lin Qinghuan shook her head. "Not that I know of. It's just that the Yunlan Sect has been in close contact with her recently, and I've been feeling like something is off with her, though I can't quite put my finger on what it is."

At the mention of the Yunlan Sect, Ye Fengyun immediately thought of the soul-summoning formation in the Yun family's basement. If the curse-laden pendant at the head of Old Madam Lin's bed was truly connected to the Yunlan Sect, the situation was far from optimistic.

Furthermore, the Yun family had ties to the mysterious figure who had destroyed Ye Fengyun's family, and he could not stand idly by.

"Take me with you."

Ye Fengyun climbed into Lin Qinghuan's Mercedes.

Lin Qinghuan paused for a moment. "You're certainly not shy, are you?"

Ye Fengyun didn't respond, sitting quietly.

Lin Qinghuan felt a bit annoyed and muttered, "Haven't you noticed something wrong with WeChat?"

"What's wrong with it?" Ye Fengyun pulled out his phone and took a quick look.

Hearing this, Lin Qinghuan felt even more irritated. *I deleted you, and you didn't even notice? Am I really that insignificant to you?*

"Nothing's wrong!" she snapped, and slammed her foot on the accelerator.

At the Lin estate, relatives from all over had gathered to celebrate Old Madam Lin's birthday. The old woman sat at the head of the table, smiling as she watched her family take their seats.
