"Alright, I’ll arrange it then. There’s too much luggage, maybe we can put it at the front of the car and find someone to watch over it."

Wei Kaiyun nodded, that was indeed the best option. Actually, Jiang Xinyu wanted to send the luggage back, but that method was uncertain about when it would arrive.

It would be better to carry it back despite the extra effort. There was no need to switch cars, as the inconvenience was merely during the boarding and alighting.

The following days were spent shopping, mainly for the children. With Han Xiangjun leading the way, they bought plenty of snacks, clothes, and toys.

Jiang Xinyu once told Han Xiangjun, "Don’t worry, Xiao Wei will handle it when the time comes."

Now Jiang Xinyu wasn’t sure what to say.

That evening, the couple discussed the matter, "Let’s not worry about it, the kids know their limits."

"We’ve quite a large party here. We’ll have one compartment, Old Yang’s family will have another, Lv Beiguang’s family another, and then there’s Master Shang, Zhang Qiu’e, and Jianbin."

"Don’t forget Yang Run Tai. Let Shi Jing and Jianbin stay with Master Shang in one compartment."

"That works. But what about the luggage?"

"Let Chaoyang keep an eye on it; anyway, booking three sleeper compartments makes it inconvenient for outsiders."

Jiang Xinyu was also aware that nothing was more important than safety. Especially with so many children and two pregnant women.

"Hon’, don’t bother preparing food, let’s just eat whatever’s available on the train; it’d be more convenient this way."

"The kids wouldn’t agree. I worry they’ll suffer; anyway, it’s just regular snacks, just to give them a taste of variety."

"You’re the most indulgent with the children."

"They’re our own kids. Go outside and buy some roasted seeds and nuts, they can crack them open when they’re bored."

Jiang Xinyu was a bit excited; finally, they were going back. There really wasn’t anything here that’s more convenient than that little mountain village, it’s just the reluctance in her mood. She didn’t feel a sense of belonging here.

The kids didn’t resist the idea of going back either. They had seen the bustling city, enjoyed the lifestyle, but didn’t get dazzled by it.

Chaoyang was busy all day because the departure was imminent. More arrangements needed to be made, so Han Xiangjun could take it easy.

Han Xiangjun and the others observed Chaoyang’s performance.

"Xiao Wei, you indeed have a good eye."

"He’s an honest kid."

Yang Run Tai was also preparing many things to take over to Yang Zhongyi.

Yang Jiu Long still assigned two people to go with him, to take care of him on the road.

Yang Run Tai didn’t care, anything worked for him.

"Uncle Han, should I buy the sleeper tickets? Would four compartments be enough?"

"That’s enough. You can buy them, but there’s a lot of luggage, you need someone to put it in the driver’s compartment."

"Okay, I’ll make the arrangements." Today, he brought some snacks, famous ones from the Capital.

"Shi Jing, try these and tell me which ones taste good, I’ll order more for the train."

"Feifei, what snacks do you like?"

"Brother Yang, my mom has already prepared everything. You just need to buy whatever you see fit."

Jiang Feifei thought to tell her mom to make fewer sweets, maybe the fried dough twists should all be salty. It wouldn’t be comfortable if everything was sweet.

"What has Aunt Wei prepared?"

"Bread and dough twists, nothing else."

"Alright, I got it. I’ll prepare some pastries then. It’s a change of flavor, isn’t it? Also, I’ll be bringing malt milk and milk powder."

Shi Jing nodded, "My sister has also prepared."

"Shi Jing, would you like to room with me?"

"No, I want to accompany Master Shang with Brother Jianbin."

"Alright, I’ll come find you guys during the day to hang out." Treating kids as equals quickly dissolves barriers.

"Feifei, isn’t there anything you like?" This little girl was quite different, she didn’t seem like a typical child.

"No, thank you, Brother Yang."

Always polite and distant. Despite being courteous, Yang Run Tai felt a bit frustrated; why was it so difficult to get close to the kids?

"Brother Yang, are you going to see Uncle Yang?" Jianbin asked. He knew a bit about this person’s situation. Despite being young, he was quite capable.

"Yes, my uncle doesn’t take calls from home, and doesn’t respond to letters either."

"Uncle Yang might be busy." Yang Run Tai smiled. He had other matters today, and couldn’t stay with them for long.

Upon returning to his own residence, the warm smile he had was gone. He listened to his subordinate’s report about that woman’s situation.

"Alright, nicely done. Tomorrow fully close the net, make sure the Xu Family is utterly defeated before my departure."

"Yes."

If it weren’t for this woman, the Yang Family wouldn’t have suffered heavy losses in the past. If they expect to live glamorously this time, it’s impossible.

Returning home, Yang Jiu Long was waiting in the living room for him.

"Everything prepared?"

"Yes, do you want to send anything to Uncle?"

"No, aren’t you taking everything?"

Yang Run Tai nodded.

"Are those people trustworthy?"

"Yes. Uncle has a good relationship with them and meets them often there."

"Good, as long as you feel confident going."

At this moment, Xu Ying appeared, linking arms with another woman.

"He Run, I have some things, can you take them to your uncle?"

"Sure."

"He Run, this is your Aunt Xu Ying. Let your uncle know later about your close bond with her. He’ll listen to you."

Yang Jiu Long understood his grandson well. Seeing his raised eyebrows, he knew he was already annoyed.

"He Run, come with me to the study." Such poor judgment, choosing such a fool.

Despite feeling awkward, Xu Ying didn’t show it.

"Auntie, I’ll head back now. Let me know when there’s news about Zhongyi."

"Of course. I’ll inform you first."

Yang Run Tai did not let even Yang Jiu Long know of his plan to ruin the Xu Family; outwardly, they were still aligned.

So when they were in the study, Yang Run Tai didn’t mention it.

"He Run, the girl from the Tao Family is also there, go check on her."

"Sure, I’ll go look. The Tao Family agreed, but the girl hasn’t consented yet."

"Marriage isn’t trivial; you must consider all aspects. As part of the Yang Family, you must prioritize the family." This was a warning from Yang Jiu Long to his grandson, who was the hope of the Yang Family.

Even though he might not listen now, it had to be ingrained that he couldn’t be impulsive; he didn’t have the leeway for recklessness.

Yang Run Tai didn’t react; he believed his matters were his alone to decide, and no one could control or intervene. He had no plans of ever marrying, but even if he did, it would be for a simple girl, beyond their control.

"He Run, don’t be reckless like your uncle."

"Yeah, I’m not as foolish as him. Don’t worry, I know what I’m doing." Attempting to manipulate him? No one could succeed.
