Chapter 104: The True and Free Self
"Chen Dani." Although Chen Dani didn't like this name, she still repeated, "My name is Chen Dani."
Xie Qingyu took off a round jade pendant with carved patterns from her waist and handed it to Rao Lu.
Rao Ji understood and turned around and gave the jade pendant to Chen Dani.
"Ah? For me?" Chen Dani was overjoyed and couldn't believe it.
Liang Jinyu had seen good things before, and the jade pendant was obviously worth a lot of money.
It was normal to think about it. Nothing on Xie Qing and Hun's body was worthless. Compared with the value of the jade pendant, Liang Jinyu cared more about the purpose of giving her the jade pendant.
"As long as you like it." Xie Qingyu said it nonchalantly, as if what he was giving away was just a worthless cake.
Chen Dani looked at Liang Jinyu inquiringly, can this thing really be collected?
Liang Jinyu nodded: "Since it is a gift from Young Master Xie, you should keep it well."
Chen Dani was thinking, she wondered how much money this jade pendant would be worth if she pawned it. If it was worth more than a thousand taels, she could live a peaceful life for the rest of her life.
"Thank you. I will take good care of it." Chen Dani said happily. She touched the jade pendant again and again before putting it carefully in her arms.
The madam watched this scene and her mind became clear as a mirror. She no longer had the heart to argue with Liang Jinyu.
Just lose the money, it's better than not being able to make it in this business in the future.
Anyway, there is no way to discipline this little girl Yu Rui. In the few days since she came, she has been jumping around like a wild monkey. She looks only five or six years old, but she speaks and acts like a little adult, very cunning.
If we keep her in that building, who knows when she might get into trouble.
It's just a few taels of silver, just consider it as paying for a lesson.
The madam forced herself to think this way, and the anger in her heart was mostly dissipated.
"Although I bought Yurui, what Mr. Liang said is true. I should have asked more carefully at the time. It's my fault. I apologize to both of you."
[Good fellow, you are indeed a man of great ability, you are able to bend and stretch! ]
Chen Dani couldn't help but complain. She glanced at the indenture on the table and immediately took it over: "You said that."
With a "swish" sound, Chen Dani tore the indenture into pieces.
The madam's mouth couldn't stop twitching. Even though she had prepared herself mentally, she still couldn't help but shudder.
Looking at the debris all over the floor, Chen Dani grinned.
【What Yurui, go to hell! 】
Liang Jinyu raised her eyebrows and looked at Dani approvingly.
In this way, the mother and daughter have a common goal.
As he was speaking, a servant came in from outside and said that the letter was not found.
The madam scolded him, "You good-for-nothing! You can't even find anything. Didn't you look carefully enough?"
The servant complained: "We searched everywhere inside and outside, and not only her letters, but even her jewelry and clothes are gone."
Upon hearing this, the madam stood up anxiously and said, "I just lent her a pair of gold-encrusted gemstone earrings yesterday. You damn whore, why did you take my earrings away with you?"
"That's probably the case. There's not even a hairpin in her room."
The madam gnashed her teeth and said, "She is such an ungrateful bastard. I shouldn't have sympathized with her back then!"
"What letter?" Chen Dani asked Liang Jinyu in a low voice.
Liang Jinyu found a chair and asked Dani to sit down and rest for a while: "It is said that Huadie still has family members. Her family members once wrote letters to Huadie. Maybe they want to find the murderer through these letters."
Chen Dani's dark eyes rolled around as she tried hard to recall the original text of the novel.
[The novel does mention that Xie Qingyu had been assassinated several times, and the final mastermind was none other than Le Qingjia, one of the three richest businessmen. The Chu family wanted to dominate the family, so they hired assassins to kill Xie Qingyu. After all, the Xie family didn't have many talented people left. If Xie Qingyu died, there would be no one left to take charge of the Xie family.]
Chen Dani touched her chin, her brows furrowed.
[Could it be that Huadie was sent by the Chu family? But there is no mention of such a person in the book? ]
Chen Dani thought about it, glanced at Xie Qingyu, and nodded thoughtfully.
[Yes, he is still here, which shows that the assassination is not important. It is normal that it is not mentioned in the book.]
Liang Jinyu lowered her brows and listened to every word Dani said.
There are three wealthy businessmen in Da Zhou who are rich enough to rival a country: the Xie family of Lingzhou, the Yuan family of Langcang, and the Yueqing family.
Among them, the Xie family has the deepest roots and the most industries.
The Yuan family has only three generations, but the Xie family has been here for twelfth generations since Xie Qing came here. Their family has even existed longer than the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
The Chu family was once a prominent family in Yueqing. It is said that one of their ancestors was a high-ranking official. Later, when things got bad, they turned to business. However, they have always been active in the southeastern coastal areas, and only in the past two years have they turned to inland development.
Tang Xian was the one who told Liang Jinyu about these situations. The complexity of the relationships between the major families made Liang Jinyu feel as if there was a spider web in front of her eyes, which made her dizzy.
"Mr. Liang?" Rao Ji called out again.
Chen Dani poked Liang Jinyu's palm and said, "I'm calling you."
Liang Jinyu came back to her senses and looked at Dani questioningly.
Chen Dani said: "They are leaving and asked us if we want to go with them."
Liang Jinyu was worried that the madam would go back on her word after Xie Qing and Yi left, so she agreed immediately.
The madam did not dare to be negligent and personally escorted the few people out of Cuihonglou.
The Xie family's huge carriage was parked at the door. When the wind blew, the golden bells on the four corners rang, and passers-by's attention was unconsciously attracted.
Liang Jinyu didn't want to attract too much attention, so she said goodbye to Xie Qing.
Speaking of which, Xie Qing and Zeng had helped her several times. Although according to Dani, they might become enemies in the future, at least they were not yet.
"Thank you, Young Master." Liang Jinyu shouted.
Xie Qing turned the wheelchair, then turned to look at her calmly.
Liang Jinyu weighed her words carefully: "What I'm going to say next is just my guess. I don't have any evidence. If you think it doesn't make sense, just treat it as nonsense and don't take it to heart."
Xie Qingyu nodded and said with a smile, "You can go ahead and tell me."
"I heard that the Chu family intends to compete for the position of the next president of the Chamber of Commerce, and some time ago, the boss of Yuan Shanting of the Yuan family was also assassinated, so I guess these things may be related to the Chu family?"
A strange look flashed across Xie Qingyu's eyes, but he regained his composure in an instant: "I understand, thank you."
...
On the way home.
Chen Dani looked up at Liang Jinyu, muttered a few words to herself, then looked at her again, muttered a few words again, and repeated this process.
[I didn't expect that within less than half a year of separation, she has become a completely different person. Not only has she established a career, but she has even met Xie Qingyu? This is a big partner, should I remind her to hold on tight?]
[She saved me again. I am not an ungrateful person. Since we are both cannon fodder, why don't we cooperate with her? ]
[Alas, Panda Order Takeout - We have suffered a huge loss. From now on, we will call it the cannon fodder counterattack? No, we should call it the villain's counterattack! Although she and I are both cannon fodder, we still have Liang Dingfang! He is the ultimate big boss, who knows, he may be able to lead us to a comeback! ]
Chen Dani suddenly stopped, clapped her hands vigorously, and announced solemnly: "I have decided!"
Liang Jinyu smiled and asked knowingly, "What have you decided?"
"I've decided to take the same boat with you!" Chen Dani said confidently.
Liang Jinyu raised her eyebrows: "Take a boat?"
Chen Dani laughed and chased after the other party: "Oh, I mean we are a team from now on!"
"You are my girlfriend, and we are originally in the same group." Liang Jinyu tapped her nose in a reproachful manner.
Chen Dani chuckled and rubbed her nose.
"Go home. I'll ask Auntie San to make you something delicious in the evening." Liang Jinyu said, naturally holding Dani's hand.
Chen Dani was slightly stunned. The softness and warmth of the other person's palm made her subconsciously recall the first time they met.
At that time she was soaking wet, like a wild monkey that fell into the water.
Liang Jinyu did the same, holding her hand and leading her through the weed-covered field, promising to give her a good life.
Chen Dani felt a sour feeling in her nose and lowered her head quickly, following closely.
The surrounding crowds of people and vehicles seemed to have disappeared, leaving only the two of them on the long street.
The setting sun stretched their shadows very long.
"Actually, I'm not Chen Dani."
After she said this, Chen Dani realized what she had said. She looked at Liang Jinyu in panic, wishing that he was deaf.
"Hmm..." Liang Jinyu nodded seriously.
Chen Dani's face turned pale instantly, thinking, it's over, she heard it. Would she resent me for occupying Chen Dani's body, would she think she was a monster?
Will you...just ignore her?
"We are going to do great things in the future. Your name is indeed inappropriate and will be easily discovered by the Chen family. How about we change our name?" Liang Jinyu stopped, turned around and looked at Dani and said with a smile.
"Change, change your name?" Chen Dani was stunned. She looked at the other party blankly, wondering if she had heard it wrong.
"Yes, what name do you want to change to? Then I will find a way to get you a household registration certificate."
Liang Jinyu said this very naturally, as if she really didn't realize anything, and turned around and continued walking forward: "If you don't know what it's called, I can help you get it."
Chen Dani covered her chest and breathed a sigh of relief. That’s great, she didn’t know yet!
While feeling thankful, a sense of uneasiness quietly sprouted in her heart. However, at this moment, Chen Dani was still immersed in the joy of "surviving a disaster" and did not realize this.
"Since I'm your daughter, how about calling me Liang Hui?" Chen Dani asked excitedly.
Liang Jinyu was a little surprised: "Liang Hui?"
She thought Dani would take her old name. She remembered that Dani's original name was Xu Wudi.
"Doesn't it sound good?" Chen Dani asked.
"Not really. What benefit did you take?"
"Hui means wisdom. This way, people will know I am smart when they hear my name!"
Liang Jinyu was at a loss for words and shook her head, saying, "We can't use the word 'hui' because my grandmother's name has this word in it. How about using 'hui' from 'enhui'?"
Chen Dani didn't choose: "Okay, this is it."
"Liang Hui..." Liang Jinyu whispered and laughed unconsciously.
very nice.
[From now on, I am neither Xu Wudi nor Chen Dani! I am Liang Hui, myself, the real and free me! ]
Chen Dani clenched her fists excitedly, looking into the distance with a determined gaze, her face full of longing.
The golden sunset shone on her like a golden armor, and her whole body was shining.
