Journey to Luo City

At dawn, Jiang Rang had to wake up and prepare for her journey.

Wang Lumai handed Jiang Rang a bag containing two boiled chicken eggs for her to eat on the way. Jiang Rang took out one boiled egg, peeled it cleanly, and, seizing the opportunity when Jiang Weimin wasn't paying attention, slipped the egg into his mouth, smiling, "Brother, have one." Jiang Weimin was both annoyed and touched, but the egg was already in his mouth, so he could only swallow it. "What's a big man like me eating chicken eggs for? Your body is weak; you're the one who needs to nourish yourself well." Jiang Rang took out the remaining egg, peeled it, and ate it with relish. "My body isn't as weak as everyone thinks."

The two siblings quickly arrived at the bus station, but Uncle Zhao announced, "The bus needs some repairs, to prevent any issues on the road. The earliest it can depart is this afternoon."

Jiang Rang felt a little disheartened, sensing this was an ominous sign, fearing that today's annulment would not go smoothly.

Just then, Gu Qingcheng drove his Jeep by chance. He also intended to go to Luo City today, so he got out of the car and said, "Xiao Rang, if you're in a hurry, you can ride with me." Jiang Weimin's eyes widened when he saw a strange young man cheerfully calling his sister's name. He turned to Jiang Rang and asked, "Who is he?" Jiang Rang glanced at him. Gu Qingcheng had stubble on his chin and faint dark circles under his eyes, as if he hadn't slept all night. Jiang Rang told her brother, "He's Cheng Wennian's friend. I don't know him very well."

Jiang Weimin currently had no good impression of Cheng Wennian or anyone associated with him. He turned to Gu Qingcheng, snorted coldly, and said, "Perfect. Go back and tell Cheng Wennian that we'll be coming to the Cheng family this afternoon to retrieve the dowry. Tell him to wait at home for me to come and break his dog legs."
