Grew up in an orphanage, with average looks, and worked tirelessly for 30 years, accumulating six million in savings. Just as she finally achieved financial freedom without spending a dime, Su Yan ...
Su Yan returned after parking her car.
Upon entering the dining room, I saw Wennai and Lulis already rolling up their sleeves and eating heartily, their mouths puffed out like hamsters, their eyes fixed on the dishes on the table.
She found it amusing, walked over and sat down next to Wennai, and asked, "Didn't you eat anything on the plane?"
After swallowing what was in her mouth, Wen Nai said, "It's not that I didn't eat anything, it's just that I mostly ate Western food in the US and rarely ate Chinese food. The Chinese food my family cooks doesn't even taste half as good as what my aunt makes."
Western chefs strive for exquisite and delicious dishes.
She felt that while the food was exquisite, it wasn't particularly delicious. Every meal she ate in the US felt like she was just filling her stomach, not satisfying her taste buds.
Luris also often says that she has become very picky about food since she woke up from the car accident, but she really doesn't like it!
She ate a lot of Chinese food after waking up from the car accident, but unfortunately the chefs' cooking was not satisfactory.
Hearing this, Li Juan nodded in agreement, "I also think Western food is not good. The meat is always half-cooked. I had Western food once and my stomach felt uncomfortable. It must have been because the meat was undercooked."
Luris was so full of delicious food that she didn't want to talk anymore.
She was used to eating Western food and thought Chinese food was just so-so.
Now she realized that it wasn't that the Chinese food tasted mediocre, but that the chefs who cooked it were not skilled enough!
She has a big appetite; in the time it took Su Yan to park her car and come back, she had already eaten two bowls of rice.
"Eat as much as you like; we have plenty of food at home."
They enjoyed the food, and Li Juan was happy too.
By the end of the meal, all the dishes on the table were empty, not even a drop of soup was left.
Winnie ate three bowls, and Lulis ate... seven bowls!!!
Li Juan was taken aback by her appetite and said awkwardly, "Lulu, won't you burst your stomach eating like this?"
Rulis, still a little unsatisfied, replied, "Auntie, don't worry, I've always had a big appetite. I can eat twenty steaks in one meal, and forty steaks is no problem if I'm really hungry."
Li Juan: "..."
Others: "..."
How could she, weighing 100 pounds, so calmly utter such vulgar words?
Wen Nai calmly replied, "Lourdes usually trains a lot, so her appetite is naturally larger."
Li Juan initially thought she had cooked too much, but now it seems she had cooked too little.
Hmm, I'll have to make more for the next meal.
"You guys take a break and go take a shower and relax. I've already prepared the room."
Wen Nai glanced at Su Yan.
Su Yan immediately said, "Mother, let Nana sleep with me. I have something to talk to her about."
"Okay, then let Lulu sleep in the room next to yours."
Luris had no preference about where she stayed; she would stay wherever she was assigned.
Two hours later.
After taking a shower, Wen Nai returned to her room and called her mother to let her know she was safe before lying down.
She was going to stay in Country A for more than half a year, so Su Yan took the clothes out of her suitcase and hung them in the closet for easy access.
Seeing her yawning, he said, "Go to sleep if you're sleepy. I'll finish cleaning up and make dinner. Tonight, my senior brother, my brother and sister-in-law, as well as my godparents' family are all coming over for dinner. My mother can't manage all of this by herself."
"So many people have come?" Wenna asked in surprise.
"Yes, they're all after you."
"Why?"
"Because you are my most important friend, they value you."
Wen Nai was deeply moved and secretly vowed in her heart to try her best to remember her past with Su Yan.
She looked at the lilies on the table; each one was in full bloom. She had already felt the care Su Yan had for her.
"Being with you makes me feel so relaxed, so incredibly happy," she murmured.
Logically speaking, she grew up in Country M and had never met Su Yan before, so she shouldn't have such feelings.
Could there be other things hidden in her lost memories?
Su Yan was afraid of scaring her, so she didn't tell her about the time travel. She would wait until she regained her memories, at which point she would naturally know everything.
She was also curious about what had happened to Wenna before she came here.
"Go to sleep."
Wennai's eyelids grew heavier and heavier, and soon she fell into a deep sleep, hugging her pillow.
After packing her clothes, Su Yan sat down on the bed.
Seeing her furrowed brow, one could tell she wasn't sleeping soundly.
She took out her acupuncture kit and needled Wen Nai's acupoints.
Soon, Wennai's furrowed brows gradually relaxed.
“Ayan…” she suddenly said.
"Um?"
Su Yan realized she was talking in her sleep after she finished speaking, and was about to cover her with a blanket and leave.
Suddenly, Wen Nai shouted excitedly, "My sister is not dead! Anyone who dares to take her away, I will fight them to the death!"
"Ayan, wake up! It's me, Nana! How could you leave me all alone? Waaaaah..."
Su Yan quickly grabbed her hand that was clutching the blanket tightly, "I'm not dead, Nana, I'm here, aren't I?"
"I told you not to take her away! My sister has always been in good health, how could she die? You must have made a wrong diagnosis!"
"If you dare take another step forward, I will kill myself, and you will all take me with you!"
Su Yan was startled by the resolute tone in her voice!
Suddenly I realized that Wennai was talking in her sleep... Could it be something that happened after she died?
Did Nana really commit suicide?
Thinking of Wen Nai's personality, Su Yan felt extremely distressed.
She really would do something so foolish!
After a while, Wenna stopped talking in her sleep.
Su Yan calmed her anxious mood before getting up and leaving the room.
...
Upon entering the kitchen, Li Juan was preparing vegetables.
"Mother," Su Yan called out absentmindedly.
Li Juan said, "Nai Nai is asleep? Why do you look like you've lost your mind? Were you having a bad chat? That shouldn't be the case."
This was the first time she had ever seen her daughter smile so happily, which showed how important Wen Nai was to Su Yan.
"It's not that I'm unhappy, it's just that something came to mind."
"What could be wrong?" Li Juan said, "Speaking of which, when did you and Nana meet? She's from the US, how come I've never heard you mention her?"
Su Yan immediately said, "When she was little, I saved her life when she fell into the water. We became good friends after that. Not long after, she moved to the United States. I only managed to get her contact information around the Chinese New Year."
This reason could only fool Li Juan; if it didn't, she couldn't think of a better one.
As for the purpose of Wen Nai's visit to Beijing, she had told Li Juan about it before.
However, Li Juan had no doubts.
She was eager for Su Yan to make more friends outside of work.
If I keep making friends through work and only know people in the same circle, won't I just have to go through all that trouble when there's a good investment opportunity? How will I be able to learn from Master Jue then?
Li Juan always believed that academic studies were important, but Su Yan's studies with Jue Lao were even more important; as long as the money was enough to cover expenses, that was fine.
She knew her daughter wanted to balance money and studies, but it wasn't that easy.
