For the time being, she couldn't figure out who was reporting her behind her back, but Sun Yuqi had nothing to be afraid of. It would only take a few months, and at worst she could go back to the Northeast. If Lin Muran and the others hadn't persuaded her to stay in Beijing, she would have really gone back.
In the next few days, Sun Yuqi did not go out at all. She studied at home with Lu Yao every day. However, Lu Chen came here every few days, which made Sun Yuqi a little annoyed, but she didn't say anything, so Lu Yao went out to open the door every now and then during the past two days.
Sun Yuqi was living well here, but Gu Yulan in the suburbs was sitting there with a gloomy face, and Gu Yulin next to her was playing with stones in his hand out of boredom.
"Sister, I won't pretend to be a beggar anymore. Sun Yuqi hasn't left her house recently. There's a girl living there now. Someone goes to bring them food every few days. We were almost discovered several times."
Gu Yulan nodded. "Well, forget it. The report we made a few days ago was unsuccessful, which means they have someone behind them. So we shouldn't take any action now. It's better to hold back."
Gu Yulin stopped playing with stones and looked up at Gu Yulan.
"Sister, you said you've seen our biological father. Why don't we go find him? It's better than what we're doing now, right? Even though we got some money from him, it probably won't be enough for us to spend!"
Gu Yulan looked at Gu Yulin with a complicated expression. "Little brother, you're already thirteen this year, so let me tell you. Our so-called biological father is now a cripple. His leg is broken, and he has no money. He still expects his family to take care of him. If we go back, should we take care of him? Or should his family take care of us?"
Hearing Gu Yulan say this, Gu Yulin widened his eyes.
"Forget it! I'm still young, how can I take care of him? But sister, are we going to live like this? Or should we go find Second Uncle and Brother Yuan?"
Speaking of Uncle Gu Er and his cousin Gu Xueyuan, Gu Yulin suddenly became excited. He still liked Brother Yuan very much. When he was a child, his brothers and sisters from his uncle's family bullied him a lot, but Brother Yuan was the only one who didn't bully him and even helped him.
Gu Yulan glanced at Gu Yulin.
"I think they already know that we're not real members of the Gu family, so it's useless for you to go. We took all the money from Dad, and they should know about it. We'd better not put ourselves in danger."
Gu Yulin didn't care much about Gu Yulan's concerns. In his opinion, Gu Xueyuan was a pretty good person, so he still wanted to find Gu Xueyuan.
"Let's go buy some vegetables. The vegetables grown here will probably take some time to eat. We have no vegetables at home, so let's go buy some from the people living nearby."
Gu Yulin turned around and lay on the bed. "I'm not going. It's too hot outside. You go."
Gu Yulan didn't say anything, just glanced at Gu Yulin and walked out.
Small courtyard on the second floor.
Sun Yuqi, Lin Muren and Lu Yao were busy picking vegetables and cutting meat.
Today, Lin Muran, Chen Hao, and Lu Chen brought a friend to the courtyard and brought a lot of food, saying that they were entertaining a comrade-in-arms.
At the time, Sun Yuqi was still a little unhappy. She thought, "You are entertaining people, why did you bring me here? I don't know this person." However, she didn't show it on her face. No matter what, the people were already here, and she had to give face to her friends, at least to Lin Muran and Chen Hao. So she enthusiastically started to get busy with Lin Muran and Lu Yao.
After a busy day, six dishes were finally ready. After they were served on the table, everyone sat down.
Lu Chen took out a bottle of Moutai and said.
"I stole this from my grandfather. It's the only bottle I have, and it's from 1955. It must be delicious."
Lu Yao wrinkled her nose and said,
"Brother, stop bragging. I stole this from my grandfather. How did it become yours?"
Lu Chen looked at Lu Yao innocently.
"Little sister, you can't say that. Even though you stole it from Grandpa, don't forget that I, your brother, will be the one to take the blame. Doesn't that mean I stole it?"
Lu Chen's words left Lu Yao speechless and she pouted.
"But wasn't it always me who pleaded for you with Grandpa so that you wouldn't be punished?"
Lu Chen shook his head.
"Little sister, you should know that from childhood to adulthood, even though I was spared a beating thanks to your intercession, I was definitely the one who took the blame."
"Hmph, then consider it as you stole it!"
The words of the two siblings made everyone laugh. They didn't expect that the two siblings would get along like this in private.
The atmosphere was very good as they drank and chatted. Suddenly, the comrade they had just met stood up, raised his glass and toasted Sun Yuqi and Lu Yao.
"My two sisters, I think you have forgotten me, but I can't forget you. Today I will offer you a glass of wine to thank you for saving my life!"
Mu Jingran's action immediately made everyone present look confused. Not to mention others, even Sun Yuqi and Lu Yao, the two protagonists who were being toasted, looked confused.
Mu Jingran smiled, put down his wine glass and looked at Sun Yuqi and Lu Yao.
"Two years ago, I went to the Northeast on a mission and was seriously injured. I ended up fleeing into the mountains and later fainted. I was rescued by two female educated youth. When I woke up, I was in the health center. I heard the doctor there say that two female educated youth from Zhengjiatun found me, saved me, and sent me to the health center. After I recovered from my injuries, I was anxious about the mission, so I didn't have time to find you to thank you. However, I did find out your names and had planned to go there to thank you when I had time. Who knew I would be delayed until now?"
"Lu Chen and Haozi originally invited me here today, but just now I heard you guys talking about your names, and I learned about the place where you went to the countryside, and then I realized that it was you two sisters who saved me back then."
After Mu Jingran finished speaking, everyone finally understood the reason. Sun Yuqi and Lu Yao looked at each other. They really had not expected that Mu Jingran was the person they had rescued on the mountain behind Zhengjiatun.
Everyone was still a little stunned, thinking about things, but they heard the sound of Chen Hao gritting his teeth.
"Mu Jingran, I've told you so many times not to call me a rat. You can't remember, right?"
Chen Hao's words made everyone laugh again, and Mu Jingran chuckled.
"Okay, Chen Hao, isn't that just a passing remark? Besides, the point of what I said today was that I wanted to thank my two sisters for saving my life. As for your nickname, it's nothing. We've been good friends for years, why do you still care about it?"
