Let’s Squander A Billion First!

Chapter 2076: Chapter 2076: Light-Year Distance (5)

The press conference was over quickly, and they immediately returned to Lu Zhaonian’s wedding venue afterward.

Unfortunately, many guests at the wedding were on Star Net, the groom was missing, and the bride was holding her dress as she chased someone leaving.

The crowd: "..."

What was going on?

The groom was missing, and now the bride was leaving too?

Was the wedding still going to happen?

Someone suddenly remembered that the bride, Liang Nian, was sisters with Liang Chuzheng.

Then shouldn’t it be the bride leaving first??

Why did the groom leave first?

-

Fei Luo personally escorted Chuzheng out: "Miss Liang."

Since the new appointment hadn’t been issued, Fei Luo still called her Miss Liang for the time being.

"Due to some delays in the process, other things may have to wait a bit, furthermore, the Marshal wants to see you."

The highest-ranking position on the human side now was the Marshal, but there wasn’t just one Marshal.

Currently, five Marshals jointly held power.

However, since each Marshal was managing different areas, the one who wanted to meet Chuzheng now was Marshal Kelly.

Chuzheng returned from the dead, successfully crossed a black hole in a fighter jet, and was a ’Alliance Hero’, so it wasn’t surprising for the Marshal wanting to meet her.

Chuzheng: "When?"

Fei Luo: "The evening after tomorrow, the Marshal will host a banquet for you, as a welcome gesture."

"Alright, got it."

Fei Luo completed his task and felt much relieved: "Then shall I see you back?"

Chuzheng: "I have one more thing."

Fei Luo: "Please, go ahead."

Chuzheng: "Where should I go to sever ties with a family?"

Fei Luo: "???"

Fei Luo looked bewildered.

-

Fei Luo watched Chuzheng leave and sighed softly.

Given her past achievements and recent accolades, the appointment would likely not be a low one.

In time...

Fei Luo shook his head, these matters were not his concern.

Just as Fei Luo was about to return, someone called out to him.

Fei Luo was surprised to see the person: "Inspector Lu?"

He wasn’t at the wedding, yet showed up here...

Lu Zhaonian appeared tense, his voice slightly trembling: "Where is Chuzheng?"

Fei Luo suppressed his curiosity: "Miss Liang just left."

Lu Zhaonian was stunned, glanced outside only to find no target.

"Director Fei Luo, you know where she lives, right?" Lu Zhaonian grabbed Fei Luo’s arm: "Tell me, where does she live?"

-

At the Lu Family wedding, the groom was nowhere to be found, how would the bride complete the ceremony alone?

The Lu Family couldn’t reach Lu Zhaonian, and eventually, they had to step up, apologize, and send the guests away.

The news of Chuzheng’s return was also known to the Lu Family, and although others might not be clear, they understood that Lu Zhaonian was likely off looking for that person.

The Lu Family hadn’t made a statement yet, leaving Liang Nian in an awkward position, feeling caught between staying and leaving.

"Mom, why did she come back alive?" Liang Nian looked distressed, emotionally charged: "Everyone is laughing at me today, how will I face anyone from now on?"

Mother Liang was equally clueless, hurriedly comforting Liang Nian: "Your dad is out gathering information, don’t worry."

Liang Nian’s tears couldn’t stop flowing: "How can I not be anxious? As soon as Zhaonian heard about her, he left. She’s back! Mom! She’s back!"

She was supposed to be dead, why come back alive.

Why come back!

Mother Liang frowned deeply, clearly not pleased with her daughter’s return.

"Mom, do you think Zhaonian will still marry me?" The wedding wasn’t completed, so what did this mean for them now?

Mother Liang reassured her: "You’ve already entered the Lu Family, don’t worry, they won’t deny you."

Liang Nian felt deeply unsettled: "What if... what if?" She had married into the family by less than honorable means.

If Liang Chuzheng hadn’t returned, she could have taken her time, eventually making Lu Zhaonian notice and fall for her.

But now...

She’d returned!

Mother Liang was also at a loss, only able to wait for Father Liang to return with information.

Unfortunately, news about Chuzheng was still under lockdown, leaving Father Liang without any useful info.

"Didn’t find a single lead?" Mother Liang pressed for details.

Father Liang shook his head: "I asked everyone I could, and everyone only just found out about her."

Mother Liang: "Wouldn’t the Lu Family... wouldn’t the Lu Family have some information?"

Liang Nian was reminded by Mother Liang: "The Lu Family has connections, they definitely know. Dad, we should ask the Lu Family!"

Father Liang hesitated: "But would they tell us?"

Liang Nian: "Dad, she’s your daughter, if you ask, the Lu Family will definitely tell you."

Mother Liang nodded in agreement, reasoning that asking for his daughter’s information, the Lu Family would understand.

Father Liang hesitated but was eventually persuaded by Mother Liang and Liang Nian to seek information from the Lu Family people.

Indeed, the Lu Family knew a few things.

However, the Lu Family wasn’t easy to talk to.

"She returned, you all were unaware?"

Father Liang shook his head grimly: "We didn’t know; we only just found out."

Lu Family member incredulous: "She’s your daughter, you should have been notified as soon as she came back, why weren’t you told?"

Father Liang: "..."

How would he know she returned without notifying them immediately?

Father Liang struggled to make the Lu Family understand, finally gleaning some information.

Chuzheng had returned several days ago, having had contact with the Alliance Military Office only. Her identity was verified, as were the incidents from the battlefield.

As for other details, they were still pending verification but should come in within a few days.

Like how to place her... and potential compensation issues.

"Why didn’t she come back first?" Mother Liang was filled with anger: "Running straight to the Alliance Military Office and choosing today of all days..."

Father Liang kept a stern face: "Don’t forget who originally was supposed to marry Lu Zhaonian. Why did she choose today? You can’t imagine?"

Liang Nian: "..."

Mother Liang: "..."

Liang Nian bit her lip and looked at Father Liang: "Dad, you agreed to this when it was done!! I don’t care, you need to resolve this! I must marry Zhaonian; otherwise, how can I face anyone?"

Father Liang: "..."

With Chuzheng’s situation unknown and Lu Zhaonian having run off, what could he possibly do?

-

Rhys Hotel.

"Miss, the gentleman from the Lu Family has been waiting downstairs."

Someone reported to Chuzheng.

They hadn’t been back long before Lu Zhaonian was already there, held back downstairs.

Chuzheng was browsing Star Net, aware the Lu Family’s wedding was already halted today.

This part somewhat differed from her expectations, seeing Lu Zhaonian actually leave the wedding to find her; did he not like Liang Nian?

Chuzheng recalled the original character’s memories.

After returning, the original character never saw Lu Zhaonian again, unable to know his true feelings.

Later, Lu Zhaonian never got involved in any matters either...

Chuzheng turned off Star Net, her tone indifferent: "Let him be." I’m not the original character, no need to bother with him.
