After midnight, seeking pink.
**...***
Lian Manman heard the news from Lian Yeye. They were in the shop, having just finished their noon meal, the whole family, including Lian Zhizhi, as well as Wu Lang and Xiao Qi who had returned from school for lunch, and of course, Lady Zhao, who stayed to eat at the shop.
Lady Zhang and Lian Shouxin both found it hard to believe, fearing that Lian Yeye had heard wrong.
"Yeye, you didn't hear it wrong? The Zhao Family really said that?" Lady Zhang asked.
"Aunt Si, I definitely didn't hear wrong." Lian Yeye nodded in confirmation.
"Oh my," Lian Manman's eyes swirled, the idea proposed by Zhao Xiue to divide the family, in the view of Lian Shouxin, Lady Zhang, and others, was unthinkable. But upon further thought, it was very much in keeping with the actions of Zhao Xiue and the Zhao Family.
Zhao Xiue wanted to split off from Erlang and live independently, without a penny from the Lian Family, only her own dowry and that house in town.
