Chapter 83 Yan Songyu Accidentally Hit Zhou Mu

Having just had unpleasant memories stirred up by Song Lifan, Yan Songyu now looked at Zhou Mu with a cold gaze, the subtle complexion that was already hard to detect almost completely gone.

The force wasn't too strong for Zhou Mu. She subconsciously looked over, but was startled by Yan Songyu's gaze.

In her mind, Yan Songyu had always been a gentle and kind person, the kind of mother she dreamed of having. But at this moment, the way Yan Songyu looked at her was even more terrifying than Zhou Yue's.

Feifei and Feng Yu were also shocked. Feifei looked at Yan Songyu helplessly. She had never seen Yan Songyu lay a hand on anyone, let alone hit her friend.

Feng Yu immediately stood next to Yan Songyu. He noticed that something was wrong with her emotions; she seemed to be overreacting.

He smiled reassuringly and asked gently, "What's wrong? Did you see wrong?"

He picked up a tamarind and showed it to Yan Songyu, "It's a tamarind, not a peanut. Don't worry, Feifei won't be allergic."

Yan Songyu knew she had overreacted as soon as she hit him; she had taken her anger out on Zhou Mu. Thinking of their entanglement in their past lives, she subconsciously felt that Zhou Mu had ill intentions and was afraid that she would hurt Feifei.

Feng Yu gave her a way out, and she took it. "I'm sorry, Zhou Mu, Feifei is allergic to peanuts. I didn't see clearly and thought you gave her peanuts, so I was a little anxious. Did I hurt you? Auntie apologizes."

Feifei: Huh? Am I allergic to peanuts?

However, despite her thoughts, Feifei still cooperated with Yan Songyu, saying, "Mom, I remember, I won't eat peanuts, don't worry."

Seeing this, Zhou Mu expressed his understanding, "It's okay, Aunt Yan, you patted very gently, it doesn't hurt."

She almost thought that Aunt Yan was bothered by her mother's affairs and wouldn't allow her to get close to Feifei. It was good that it wasn't. Zhou Mu, who was completely unaware of the situation, secretly rejoiced.

As she left, Feifei held Zhou Mu's hand and said goodbye, "Mumu, take care of yourself. I'll come see you again in a couple of days."

"good."

“If your uncle bullies you, you can come to me.” Feifei took out a small card and gave it to Zhou Mu. “This is my home phone number, and this is my phone number. You can call me if you need anything.”

"good."

Feifei pulled another book out of her schoolbag. "And this is 'The Little Prince'! Didn't your teacher tell you to read it during the summer vacation? I've already finished it, I'll lend it to you."

Zhou Mu carefully took the book and held it in her arms, looking at Feifei with surprise and joy, her eyes glistening with tears. "Thank you, Feifei!"

She didn't expect that Feifei would remember her homework list after just glancing at it, and even lent her her own book to read.

"I will definitely treasure this book and will never let it get a single crease."

Feifei couldn't help but laugh. "No need to exaggerate. Creases on a book prove it has been read and are a reflection of its value. As long as you don't intentionally damage the book, creases are nothing."

"Um."

Zhou Mu agreed, but still decided to protect the book carefully.

Seeing Feifei pouring her heart out to Zhou Mu, Yan Songyu couldn't help but feel indignant for Feifei. Several times she wanted to step forward and stop them from dating, but Feng Yu quietly squeezed her hand and stopped her.

As soon as Yan Songyu and the other two left, Zhou Mu ran back into the house, found some newspapers, wrapped "The Little Prince" in layers of paper, and then put it under his pillow.

In the car, Feifei looked at Yan Songyu, seemingly wanting to say something but holding back.

"What's wrong? Is there anything you want to tell your mother?" Yan Songyu asked with a smile.

"Mom, do you not like me being friends with Mumu?"

Yan Songyu was taken aback. "Why do you say that? Is it because Mom just slapped Zhou Mu's hand away?"

Feifei nodded, her cute little face scrunched up, and she carefully chose her words, "Mommy, are you bothered by Mumu's mother going to jail?"

“But this has nothing to do with Mumu. She couldn’t stop it or choose to do it. Mumu is a very good person.”

She had only been inside with Mumu for a short while when Mumu started crying because of her arrival. She nervously asked why, thinking that someone had bullied Mumu again. She only found out that Mumu was moved because everyone else was distancing themselves from her.

“No.” Yan Songyu shook her head. “Mom really misjudged. I thought she was hurting you, so I rushed to stop her.”

"Then I..."

"Mom has said many times that she will not interfere with your friendships, so you can continue to be friends with Zhou Mu, and you can come to see her, but you need to be accompanied by someone."

Looking at Feifei's smile, Yan Songyu felt happy too. If she wanted to be friends with Zhou Mu, then so be it. She would just keep an eye on Feifei and protect her for the rest of her life!

That night, before going to sleep, Yan Songyu received photos of Song Lifan's serious injuries. He was lying on the ground like a rag doll, covered in wounds, especially his legs, which were bloody and mangled. Even a god couldn't save him.

However, he was fortunate enough to be rescued by the police and his life was saved.

Yan Songyu sighed again, realizing that the kidnappers looked fierce but were actually utterly useless! If she hadn't gotten someone to help her, Song Lifan might have actually escaped unscathed.

The police coming to Yan Songyu's door was exactly what she expected. When Song Lifan was taken away, she could see the hatred he felt for her, even more so than for the kidnappers. How ridiculous.

However, Yan Songyu did not expect that Song Lifan would be so stupid as to say that she was in cahoots with the kidnappers. She was just standing by and did nothing, so how could she seem more hateful than the culprit?

"Ms. Yan, after Song Lifan woke up, he accused you of being in cahoots with the kidnappers and that you deliberately tried to torture and kill him. How do you explain this?"

The new intern police officer made a startling statement, probably because he had already believed Song Lifan's account, hence his righteous indignation.

"Huh?" Yan Songyu looked puzzled. Where did this weirdo come from?

"Why should I explain such an absurd question? Do you have any evidence? If you do, show it to me. If not, I'm going to sue you for defamation."

Yan Songyu sat up straight, her attitude no longer as gentle as when she had welcomed them in. "My image represents not only myself, but also Ruixin Group. I will pursue any legal action against you for your baseless smear campaign against me and for any impact it has on Ruixin."

The police officer taking the statement finally snapped out of his surprise, nudged the choking intern with his elbow, and coughed lightly, "Ahem~"

"Ms. Yan, I apologize for the inappropriate wording by the new intern. What we meant was that we wanted to understand the conflict between you and Song Lifan. After he woke up, he gave a lot of testimony that was detrimental to you. We know that we cannot believe his one-sided account, so we came to you to understand the situation."

Yan Songyu nodded. "May I ask him what exactly he said?"

"Sorry, no."

“Alright.” Yan Songyu didn’t press the matter further. “I believe the police have already figured out the cause and effect of his kidnapping, and I only met Song Lifan yesterday.”

"If I had to name a grudge between us, it would probably be that I didn't save him yesterday. That's probably why he hates me and is why he's slandering me."
