"Brother, I—"
Zhao Teng stopped Zhao Wei instantly. "I know you love Jing'er like your own daughter, but she's dead now, and her death was that bastard Tang Ye's fault. Unfortunately, he's also dead now, so I can't do anything to him. His blood flows within Tang Yin's body, and she is the last person in his lineage, so she must bear the consequences of her father's mistakes."
Zhao Wei let out a heavy sigh, listening to Zhao Teng's words. "I'm sorry, but I have to refuse your orders. Tang Yin may be Tang Ye's daughter, but she didn't do anything wrong, and Jing'er's death wasn't his fault. On the contrary, you should blame Ouyang Hong because he was one of the perpetrators who did that cruel thing to her, but you chose to ignore all those facts because you were too afraid of him, and you would rather cooperate with him because he could bring you wealth."
Zhao Teng wore an annoyed look and furrowed his forehead, and he immediately took a gun from his desk drawer before pointing it at Zhao Wei. "I don't need your advice, and you only have two choices: do as I say or die."
"If it makes you happy, then you can kill me now, brother." Zhao Wei casually replied to Zhao Teng, and there was not the slightest fear in his expression. "Tang Yin is Jing'er's daughter, and she is all that remains of her, so I will never follow your orders against her."
Zhao Teng became even more furious, but his hands trembled as he wanted to pull the trigger. After all, Zhao Wei was his brother, and he ultimately abandoned his intention. "Get out of my face!"
Without saying a word, Zhao Wei left Zhao Teng's room, and he passed Lin Yanxiu, who looked at him worriedly. He didn't say anything to her and left Zhao House directly.
Meanwhile, Zhao Teng contacted other people to carry out his orders against Tang Yin, but unfortunately, he never realized that all his conversations were recorded by Xiao Ai, who had hijacked his phone long ago.

Elsewhere, Bai Huang looked gloomy after he failed to carry out Ouyang Qing's order to make trouble at Tang Yin's shop yesterday, which happened because of the arrival of Sun Xiang and Xiao Meng.
Furthermore, Sun Xiang and Xiao Meng continued to monitor his movements, which annoyed Bai Huang.
"Have you told our young miss about our failure yesterday?" Pei Yan, who had just arrived, immediately asked Bai Huang.
"I didn't tell our young miss about our failure yesterday." Pei Yan sat directly in front of Bai Huang. "However, she already knew that we had failed, and she previously contacted me to do something about Tang Yin as soon as possible."
"How did our young miss find out about our failure? Isn't she still in the hospital?" Pei Yan asked in confusion.
"I don't know." Suddenly, Bai Huang received a new message that excited him, and he immediately got up from his seat before walking away. "Let's go! We have an effortless task with a high payout, and we should finish it first. Thereafter, we'll try going to that shop again, and we'll do something about Tang Yin."

A couple was walking through an area covered in thick snow while enjoying the beautiful scenery, and they didn't feel the slightest bit cold, even though they were only wearing thin clothes.
"I didn't expect that you would bring me here, husband." Xing Xing said as she laid her head on Tang Xiao's shoulders. "Honestly, I've dreamed of going to this city for so long, but I don't have the money because I have to pay for my mother's medical expenses, and you have made my dream come true today."
"I knew that, so I brought you here on purpose, and our honeymoon will be even more memorable if we do it in your dream place." Tang Xiao then questioned her in a playful tone. "Are you impatient to enjoy our honeymoon?"
Xing Xing blushed as she shyly nodded. "I've heard from Big Sis Yin about her first night, so I want that too."
"Hahaha!" Tang Xiao laughed, carried Xing Xing like a princess, and spun around in place. "Unfortunately, it's still early in the morning, so we have to wait until evening to enjoy our honeymoon."
Instead, Xing Xing complained while hugging Tang Xiao's neck. "Ahh! You should stop spinning! My head is getting dizzy because of you!"
Tang Xiao immediately stopped and then took Xing Xing to the biggest ski resort in the city, but her face turned red because the people who passed them laughed when they saw her in his arms. "You don't need to care about them, and we'll have fun for now."

At the factory, Jessica daydreamed alone because there was nothing she could do there because the production of the products was automated; she and the other two women just watched them.
However, Yu Xiaoling left the factory because Tang Yin had finished her training, and they were going to Tianmei.
"What are you thinking about?"
Jessica turned to Zhao Yuxian. "Why did you do that with Tang Xiao, Aunt Yuxian? He—"
"Do you think I have a choice?" Zhao Yuxian responded with a heavy sigh before recounting to Jessica how Tang Xiao had planned everything against her, and she had foolishly fallen into his trap. "After he forced me to kill my husband, he imprisoned me here. Since my family was already destroyed, and I enjoyed myself with him, I chose to resign myself to my fate. Furthermore, he didn't do anything bad to my twin daughters, and I was satisfied with that."
Jessica released a heavy sigh before telling her about how she fell into Tang Xiao's trap, but Zhao Yuxian was not surprised by that because she already knew about his and Tang Yin's plans against their enemies.
Zhao Yuxian patted Jessica's shoulder. "I understand your feelings, but you won't be able to do anything to change your situation. Your clone has already taken over your position by your husband and son's side, so you no longer have a place to return to. Additionally, Xiao Ai's sub chip is inside your brain now, so your movements and thoughts are under her strict supervision, and she will stop you if you think about contacting them. If that happens, she will report to Tang Xiao, and you will suffer yourself, so you should carefully think about your choice."
Jessica clenched her fists tightly, as her desire to return to her family was still strong, but she was also aware of her situation. Despite this, she didn't want to give up, and she planned to beg Tang Yin to free her.
Zhao Yuxian could only shake her head without commenting further, as she herself had no solution to change her situation, let alone help Jessica.

Tang Yin arrived at Tianmei and instructed Yu Xiaoling to open her shop with the employees. She hurriedly went to the third floor to meet Zhao Qing and Yao Yao, who had arrived earlier.
Qiao Yumei, Liao Yuxi, and Lin Qingxue also immediately got to work on their respective tasks. Although Tianmei's opening wasn't smooth sailing and few products were sold, both online and at retail, they remained enthusiastic about working because they had already tried the products themselves, and they were satisfied with the results even though they had only tried them once.
"Do you have a boyfriend, Yao?"
"Eh?" Yao Yao looked at Tang Yin with surprise, and Zhao Qing also glanced at her niece with a suspicious look. "I once had a boyfriend when I lived abroad, but our relationship didn't last long, and we decided to separate because of our busy schedules. As for now, I still don't have the desire to think about a boyfriend because my situation is still chaotic after the death of my parents, so I want to look at my life first before I think about that."
"I see." Tang Yin nodded in understanding. "I've been in your shoes before, so I can understand how you're feeling right now. However, you can't dwell on it too much because you're still so young, and life must go on, so you have to learn to accept reality as soon as possible."
"I know, Big Sis Yin," Yao Yao replied with a soft sigh. "My parents recently passed away, so I haven't forgotten them yet, and I need some time to move on. How about you? Do you have a boyfriend now?"
"To be honest, I already have a husband." Yao Yao was shocked to hear that, but Tang Yin showed her the two rings on her fingers. "We got married a few days ago, but we were married in a civil registry, and we haven't had our wedding party yet. I won't reveal my husband's identity now, and you will find out in the future."
Yao Yao looked at her curiously, but Tang Yin still had no intention of revealing her husband's identity to her. "In that case, congratulations on your wedding, Big Sis Yin. I hope your marriage will last forever, and the two of you will grow old together."
"Thank you." Tang Yin then looked at the door after detecting the movement of two people, and Yu Xiaoling entered the room to see off Zhao Wei, surprising her and Zhao Qing.
Zhao Qing rushed over to Zhao Wei and questioned him. "Why did you suddenly come here, Uncle Wei? Did my father send you here?"
