Chapter 111 Xia Mingyang's gaze made me very uncomfortable
Although Zhou Chenglong dodged, Zhou Mu's knife still grazed his arm, leaving a bloody gash that was not deep but long and dripping with blood.
Liu Ying pointed at Zhou Mu with trembling eyes, "Zhou Mu, how dare you attack someone with a knife? He's your uncle!"
Yan Songyu pulled Zhou Mu behind her, but she still managed to squeeze out a sentence, "I don't have an uncle who's trying to kill me. If you don't dare to kill me, you'd better give my things back."
"I'll return it to you right away," Zhou Chenglong said, rubbing his arm.
Liu Ying wanted to say something, but Zhou Chenglong stopped her. He looked at Liu Ying's stomach and said, "Let's go first. Don't bother with this little lunatic. It's not worth it."
Feifei, still shaken, pulled Zhou Mu along, "Mumu, don't use knives so casually in the future. It's not good if you hurt yourself."
Yan Songyu looked at her seriously, "Zhou Mu, don't be so impulsive in the future. Auntie can help you resolve this matter. If there is room for maneuver, going all out is not courage, it's foolishness. It's not worth wasting your life on someone like that."
“Aunt Yan, I know what I’m doing, I…” Zhou Mu wanted to say that she was just trying to scare Zhou Chenglong and didn’t really mean to risk her life. She had tried so hard to live and live well, how could she give up on herself so easily? But seeing Yan Songyu’s worried eyes, she didn’t argue anymore, “I know I was wrong.”
"I know you may have just said this out of anger, but please don't say things like 'the worst that can happen is going to a juvenile detention center' again."
Zhou Mu nodded, "Mm."
Zhou Chenglong was probably genuinely frightened, or perhaps intimidated by Feng Yu. In any case, he hastily wrapped a few white cloths around his arm and returned the property certificate to Zhou Mu.
At first, Liu Ying cried and made a fuss with him, but after learning about Yan Songyu and Feng Yu's identities, she didn't dare to say a word. Instead, she started to think about the possibility of currying favor with Feifei and the Yan family through Zhou Mu.
"Mumu, I know you're independent, but you're still a child. You can ask me for help with many things."
Zhou Mu lowered her head. Her experiences since childhood had only taught her to be strong and to rely on herself.
Yan Songyu knew that Zhou Mu's mind couldn't be changed overnight, so she didn't press the matter further. She pulled the two girls into the house and said, "Mu Mu, you don't need compensation, but please accept the clothes, supplies, and food."
Feng Yu went back and brought in some more bags. Looking at Zhou Mu, who was hesitating, he said, "Don't worry, they're all affordable but comfortable clothes, not expensive."
Zhou Mu didn't refuse anymore, "Thank you, Aunt Yan! Uncle Feng!"
“You don’t want to come home with us to recover from your injury, but the room we prepared for you is still there. You can come home with Feifei anytime to play or stay for a while.”
"Um."
Zhou Muyi agreed to all of them, but she didn't intend to go.
Feifei also went out to help Feng Yu carry things. She followed behind Feng Yu, carrying several bags, and didn't even notice that the amethyst hair clip on her head had fallen off. When she came out to look for it, she saw a boy wearing glasses standing by the car, holding her hair clip in his hand.
"Hello, this hair clip you're holding..."
Before Feifei could finish speaking, the boy had already handed her the hair clip. "It's yours. I just saw it fall off your head. It's not broken."
"Thank you!" Feifei happily accepted the hair clip. "This is a gift from my grandfather. I thought I was going to lose it. Thank you so much!"
"You're welcome." The boy smiled shyly. "But you should be careful next time. The hair clips here look expensive. If you lose them here, you might never find them again."
"Um, what's your name? My name is Yan Feifei. Thank you so much."
"My name is Xia Mingyang, and I live just up ahead." He pointed in a direction, and vaguely heard someone calling "Yangyang," so he said, "I should go home now, goodbye!"
Feifei waved to him and went inside, but what she didn't see was that Xia Mingyang stopped after running a few steps and watched Feifei go inside.
He actually knew Feifei because she had gone to Nan Yi Primary School when she testified for Zhou Mu. He had seen her from afar and later heard that the girl came from a wealthy family, but she was friends with Zhou Mu, who collected garbage.
Before leaving, Yan Songyu repeatedly told Zhou Mu, "Take good care of yourself, and call me immediately if anything happens."
Yan Songyu insisted on giving Zhou Mu a cell phone so that she could ask for help and keep in touch. She didn't want it at first, but she couldn't resist Feifei's persistent pleading and coaxing, saying that she wanted to call her anytime, so she finally accepted it.
Zhou Mu nodded, "Okay, Aunt Yan, don't worry, I can take care of myself."
"I've sent someone to warn your uncle so he won't hurt you again. Don't act impulsively, okay?"
"Um."
Zhou Mu watched the car drive away before going inside and closing the door. The sudden quiet made her feel a little lonely, but this was how her life was supposed to be.
Yan Songyu, who had already gone far away, was not really at ease, so Old Liu, who lived in the attic diagonally opposite the Zhou family, was assigned another task: to look after Zhou Mu's safety.
"Mom, are you having someone take care of Mumu?"
"Yes, Mumu is strong and independent. She doesn't want to rely on us, so don't tell her. Mom just asked someone to look after her safety and won't invade her privacy."
She understood Zhou Mu's excessive pride, but was more worried about Zhou Mu's safety.
Feifei nodded, "Okay, I'm worried about Mumu too. Her uncle looks like a bad person. It's shameless of him to steal Mumu's money when he's a perfectly capable adult!"
After she finished speaking, she remembered the hair clip and told Yan Songyu, "Mom, the hair clip that Grandpa gave me was lost, but luckily someone found it and returned it to me."
"Really? Then you should thank him properly."
Feifei's amethyst hair clip was quite valuable, but most importantly, it was a gift from Yan Binghua.
"I said thank you, and I also learned his name. His name is Xia Mingyang, and he lives not far from Mu Mu's house."
Yan Songyu paused in putting the hair clip on Feifei. Xia Mingyang!
Ha~ What an inescapable karmic entanglement... we still managed to run into each other!
"Mom, what's wrong?"
"It's nothing, I was just thinking about some work-related things."
She didn't intend to let Xia Mingyang off the hook, but she would at least wait until he was a little older. In fact, if Song Lifan hadn't deliberately come up to her and gone against her, she wouldn't have taken action against him so quickly.
After Yan Songyu put the hair clip on Feifei, she also tidied her hair. "What's your impression of the person who helped you today?"
"He is a good person for returning lost property."
Feifei gave Xia Mingyang a "friend zone" card, but she had no intention of getting to know him better. She always felt uncomfortable with the way Xia Mingyang looked at her.
"Why are you frowning? You look like a little old lady." Yan Songyu pinched Feifei's cheek.
"Mom, I don't know if I'm imagining things, but Xia Mingyang's gaze makes me very uncomfortable."
"Since you're not feeling well, just pretend you don't know each other when you see each other in the future. You probably won't have many chances to meet anyway."
Just then, Yan Songyu's phone rang.
It is Yan Binghua.
"Xiaoyu, Chengli's mother has gone missing. Could you contact someone to help find her?"
"Okay, I understand."
"My grandma is missing?" Feifei was a little surprised.
She had a good impression of Jiang's mother. Although Jiang's mother didn't recognize her, she had visited Jiang's mother a few times when she was in the hospital, and even played with her. The old lady had secretly hidden snacks for her.
