"Go ahead, go have fun."
Following Chu Yue's instructions, Fang Xiuli prepared small stools, a kettle, and some snacks in the alley behind the store for Lu Yuanbao and Pei Tianci to play with.
She looked carefully and found that the alley was not exposed to the sun, but there was a breeze and a gentle breeze. It was not very hot, and there were not many people walking around. The environment was quite suitable.
Besides, Lu Yuanbao is smart and reliable, and she is also in the shop in front, so nothing can go wrong.
Fang Xiuli remembered that last time she was late to pick up her child, Tan Rourou almost got into trouble, so she subconsciously observed the surrounding environment more.
"Thank you Auntie Fang, you've worked hard."
Pei Tianci thanked Fang Xiuli politely.
The more Fang Xiuli looked at this child, the more she liked him. However... when this child spoke in a baby voice, her voice and tone were so similar to those of Tan Rourou when she was a child. It was completely the accent of a little girl.
But he was wearing a small shirt and pants, and his hair was short, he was clearly a little boy.
She must be overthinking it. Children's throats have not yet developed. It is normal for them to speak softly when they are young, but it will be different when they reach puberty.
Lu Yuanbao and Pei Tianci sat on small stools, the two small figures close to each other, and Lu Yuanbao carefully took out a bamboo grasshopper from his pocket.
"Tianci, look, this is my mother's handmade..."
"Wow……"
Fang Xiuli glanced at the two children's backs and walked out to check the store.
After a while.
An uninvited guest came to the grocery store.
"Ahem."
He Meijiao stood outside on the street, looking inside with a haughty look, and coughed at Fang Xiuli.
Fang Xiuli looked up when she heard the voice, and when she saw it was He Meijiao, she retracted her eyes. She would rather sit on the counter and wipe the windows than bother to look at He Meijiao again.
It was because of what He Meijiao had done during this period, which really disappointed her.
He Meijiao watched Fang Xiuli ignoring her, the anger in her heart almost bursting out. She bit her teeth hard, but the sound that came out was soft and weak.
"Sister Xiu Li, you don't even want to look at me or talk to me now?"
She pursed her lips and looked at Fang Xiuli with pitiful eyes. Her eye sockets were slightly red, as if she would cry in the next second.
"Sister Xiu Li, we grew up together in the same compound. You know I only have a brother, no sister, and I am the only girl in my family. You are my best friend, and I treat you as my own sister in my heart... Are you unwilling to talk to me now?"
When talking about the past, Fang Xiuli's heart contracted and ached. After all, it was a relationship that lasted for nearly twenty years. How could she let go of someone who had treated her sincerely?
Fang Xiuli doesn't like He Meijiao now, but she still hopes that He Meijiao can get back on the right track.
She looked up and said, "He Meijiao, didn't you say you wanted to end all ties with me and that we would have no relationship in the future?"
"No...no...Sister Xiuli, I was wrong...Is it okay if I was wrong? I really know I was wrong..." He Meijiao continued to beg with red eyes, "I was talking without thinking, I was talking nonsense, you are my sister, how could I break up with you, it was all nonsense. Sister Xiuli, can you forgive me?"
She asked softly and cautiously.
Fang Xiuli stood there hesitating for a while, but finally put down what she was holding and walked out.
Right at this moment.
He Meijiao's eyes seemed wet from crying, and a strange color flashed across them quickly.
Fang Xiuli is out!
As long as Fang Xiuli comes out, she will have no worries.
Fang Xiuli asked again, "He Meijiao, do you really know that you are wrong?"
While talking.
He Meijiao quickly reached out, grabbed Fang Xiuli, pulled her tightly in front of her, threw herself into her arms, and sobbed.
"Sister Xiuli, grandpa doesn't love me anymore, and my brother doesn't want me either. You are my only relative left! You are my sister. I have done so many wrong things... I don't know how to make amends... I really don't know..."
Hearing the crying sound beside her ears, Fang Xiuli's heart softened completely.
She raised her hand and gently put it around He Meijiao's shoulders, comforting her, "Meijiao, as long as you truly repent, it's never too late. I believe Chu Yue will forgive you."
Haha, it’s Chu Yue again.
He Meijiao lay on Fang Xiuli's shoulder, with her head lowered, hiding the ugly malice on her face, and sneered in her heart.
All he talks about is Chu Yue!
Can't you live without Chu Yue?
When He Meijiao looked up again, the hatred on her face had disappeared, and she continued to speak according to her script, "Sister Xiuli, I have prepared some things, come with me to take a look..."
She pulled Fang Xiuli again and dragged her forward.
"But……"
Fang Xiuli was worried about the shop. After all, the door was still open, but there were really few customers recently, and He Meijiao rarely looked like she had changed for the better.
She finally chose to believe He Meijiao and wanted to pull her former sister back from the abyss.
But he never knew that He Meijiao had already reached the bottom of the abyss.
There was no turning back for her.
"Where are you taking me?"
"Sister Xiu Li, you will understand when you go there. I won't harm you."
He Meijiao pulled Fang Xiuli forward. When they reached a small alley, a man suddenly appeared. Before Fang Xiuli could see the other person's face clearly, the man had already attacked Fang Xiuli and knocked her unconscious with one move.
"you--"
Before Fang Xiuli completely fainted, she looked at He Meijiao for the last time with a look of deep sorrow.
There is no hope... This person... is completely hopeless...
Yuanbao... God-given...
There are children in the store...
Fang Xiuli was worried and lost consciousness in an instant, falling into darkness.
He Meijiao hugged Fang Xiuli and said in a low voice, "Sister Xiuli, what's so good about Chu Yue? Why are you so devoted to her? You don't want to be a good young lady, but work as a handyman in her store. Do you know how I feel when I see you every day? If it weren't for you, I would have taken action long ago! But it's not too late now. I want to make Chu Yue lose everything!"
The man next to him looked at He Meijiao in fear, "Miss He, do you really want to do this?"
"Do you think I'm kidding? Go quickly! Lock up everything in the front and back, and set a fire...hahaha...burn it all and there will be nothing left." He Meijiao said this and laughed crazily.
She used the last bit of her conscience on Fang Xiuli, and even staged a play to trick Fang Xiuli out of the store.
After Fang Xiuli passed away, she no longer had any scruples.
…
"Brother Yuanbao, what's wrong?"
Pei Tianci was listening to Lu Yuanbao talking, but as he was listening, he suddenly realized that Lu Yuanbao had stopped talking. He still wanted to hear how Chu Yue saved people and how Lu Zhanlin rescued the little girl from the river, so why didn't he continue talking.
