Chapter 1360


    The corner of Lena’s lips was slightly swollen, and there were clear fingerprints on her face.


    Lina’s heart tightened. She hadn’t anticipated Renee, who appeared delicate, acting so aggressively


    and quickly. Surprisingly, Lina didn’t dodge at all, suggesting this wasn’t an isted incident.


    Lina brought ice and helped Lena apply it to her face. Lena looked at her and finally showed a faint


    smile.


    “Does it still hurt?”


    Lena shook her head.


    Lina angrily eximed, “Does Renee usually treat you like this at home?”


    “Nothing like that.” Lena seemed indifferent. “She’s actually quite nice to me. Besides, I might have


    spoken too harshly just now. It’s my fault.”


    “Lenny…”


    “It’s okay. Go check on her.” Lena smiled sincerely. “I have thick skin and can take a hit. But she’s the


    one who’s wounded inside. She’s the one who needsfort the most.”


    Lina could barely manage to say, “Lenny, you’re always thinking about others…”


    “It’s not for her sake.” Lena sighed lightly and said, “It’s because I know what it’s like to lose a

    Lina hugged Lena, who appeared incredibly delicate. Lena’s thoughtfulness was so touching that it


    pained the heart.


    On the way back from the Thompsons, Lina was weighed with worries. Seeing her concern, Zuko


    gently hugged her and showed her a social media post.


    Renee had posted a few pictures of the white purse from different angles with the caption: [I’m sorry,


    Lina.]

    Lina was moved, her eyes slightly red.


    Renee still cared about her, but she had some unresolved issues. Once those issues were resolved


    and the haze cleared, she would be the same innocent and kind Renee that Lina knew.


    Lina sighed and checked her phone. Renee had not said anything for a long time in their group chat.


    Just as she was thinking about it, a message suddenly popped up in the chat. Toph had sent a time


    and a hotel address with a crying face emoji.


    Toph: [Family, you muste this weekend!]


    Lina paused and suddenly remembered that the hotel mentioned seemed to belong to the Bayers.


    “Do you know what this is about?” She looked at Zuko.


    Zuko smiled helplessly. “It’s probably a gathering from the Tanners.”


    “The Tanners?”


    Zuko nodded. The Tanners were one of the four major families in Centrolis. Despite experiencing ups


    and downs, possibly being the weakest of the four families in terms of strength, they maintained their


    status by relying on the Bayers’ support.


    “I heard that a rtive of the Tanners just had a pair of twins. This weekend is the babies’ celebration,


    and they’ve invited people from the four major families.”


    “Oh…”


    “Our families haveplicated alliances and intertwined interests,” Zuko said softly. “When one family


    has a joyous event, the other three will go to celebrate. In reality, it’s just an opportunity to strengthen


    ties.


    “We have a longstanding rtionship with the Bayers, and since Aunt Kelly is married to Uncle Josiah,


    we have to attend the Tanners’ event.”
