In the following nights, the two of them sat hugging each other by the stream, quietly and beautifully enjoying the beautiful scenery brought by the fireflies. In Si Ze's arms, Yan Mo always felt inexplicably at ease. Unconsciously, she in his arms gradually closed her eyes and fell asleep.
Si Ze looked at the little person sleeping in his arms, and his heart was filled with uncontrollable satisfaction. He picked her up and stood up, walked steadily to the yard, returned to the house, and carried her all the way to the master room on the second floor.
At this time, it was not known whether A Biao woke Yan Mo up and deliberately made room for him, or what, but the sister-in-law who had previously slept with the little girl had long disappeared.
Instead of avoiding suspicion, he pushed open the door, gently placed the little girl in his arms on the bed, and considerately covered her with the air-conditioning quilt. Looking at her increasingly beautiful face, he was reluctant to leave her so soon, so he sat down in front of her bed and caressed her face uncontrollably.
After a long time, he reluctantly withdrew his hand, stood up and left the room quietly.
He was not in a hurry to go back. At some point, he took a plastic bottle in his hand, walked out of the yard, and returned to the vineyard. He began to catch the green fireflies one by one with swift movements.
Yan Mo didn't know that Si Ze would go back to the vineyard in the middle of the night to catch fireflies for her just because of what she said casually.
She slept until after ten in the morning, and her sister Yan Jing came in to call her for breakfast.
"Jingjing, why are you up so early?" Yan Mo asked with sleepy eyes and yawn.
"It's getting late, it's almost noon." As he said that, he opened the curtains for Yan Mo.
Sure enough, the sun was about to rise high in the sky. Yan Mo glanced at the clock on the bedside table and said, "It's so late!" Then he got up from the bed.
"Jingjing, you should have called me earlier."
Seeing her sister's appearance, she had completely forgotten that Si Ze came last night and they didn't come back until late at night. Yan Jing smiled faintly and said nothing, but didn't say much. As she heard the footsteps of people busying around downstairs, she, A Biao, couldn't handle it alone, so she turned around and went downstairs.
It’s not that Yan Mo didn’t remember. She remembered everything, even the details. She just thought it was a dream within a dream, so she didn’t say a word to her sister and didn’t ask about it, for fear that her sister would laugh at her.
She got up and went to the bathroom to wash up as if nothing had happened. Then, she quickly tidied herself up and was about to walk out of the room and go downstairs when a piece of black cloth on the wooden table in the room caught her attention. There was obviously something covered under the black cloth.
She remembered that there was nothing here when she went to bed yesterday. With curiosity, Yan Mo walked to the table and uncovered the black cloth covering it. When she saw a bottle full of glowing fireflies, her eyes were filled with amazement. Then she turned her head and glanced around the room. A feeling of loss flashed through her mind. However, soon, the corners of her mouth rose again. She bent down slightly, her eyes level with the bottle, and looking at the bottle full of fireflies, her heart felt as sweet as if it were filled with honey. It turned out that everything last night was real, not a dream.
Before she knew it, she had been staring at the bottle for quite a while.
"Sister, are you ready?" Yan Jing didn't see her sister coming down for a long time, so she went upstairs and shouted again.
"Sorry, it's okay." Yan Mo quickly covered himself with the black cloth again, walked out of the room, and followed his sister downstairs to have breakfast.
After breakfast, it was time to go see the people they brought yesterday.
A Biao was responsible for leading the way, and Yan Mo followed behind. The two of them came to a room in the deepest part of the house. A Biao took out the key and opened the door. This was where the nanny was locked up.
At this time, Ren Hua was lying on the ground in a mess, with her eyes dull and imageless. When she saw Yan Mo coming, she immediately sat up and looked at Yan Mo closely, with deep fear in her eyes.
The memories of the past few days have completely refreshed her understanding of Yan Mo. This seemingly weak and harmless neighbor's granddaughter can be so cruel that it is really frightening.
Yan Mo seemed to be blind to Ren Hua's fear of her. She walked up to Ren Hua step by step, still with a dazzling smile on her face. She also very considerately handed a bowl of rice with chicken legs to Ren Hua and said softly:
"Aunt Ren, you must be starving! Eat something!"
Ren Hua hesitated, but for her, who had been eating leftovers for several days, the chicken leg rice that the Si family usually looked down upon, now in Yan Mo's hand, was the most irresistible temptation for her.
Finally, she couldn't help it anymore, and she took the bowl of rice in her hand tremblingly, picked up the chicken leg in it, and began to gobble it up.
Just as she was enjoying her meal, Yan Mo spoke again:
"Eat slowly, this is something I prepared specially for you. If it's not enough, there's more. It's enough for you to eat your fill."
This seemed like a normal thing to say, but it instantly made Ren Hua stop eating. Then, she dropped the chicken leg in her hand and spit it out. After spitting out what was in her mouth, she seemed to think it was not enough, so she put her fingers into her throat, trying to dig out what she had eaten.
"Aunt Ren, what's wrong with you?" Yan Mo raised his eyebrows.
Ren Hua laughed heartily and made a vicious guess: "I won't let you succeed. You want to use the antidote to force a confession out of me? That's impossible."
Now the only way she can have a chance of survival is to keep silent. She hasn't received the money yet, and she doesn't want to die in such an unclear way.
"She doesn't know what's good for her." A Biao said angrily: "Madam, don't waste your time talking to her. As long as you agree, I only need half an hour to make her confess everything." As he spoke, he revealed his original cruel side and kept getting closer to Ren Hua.
"I'm warning you, don't do anything rash," Ren Hua kept retreating in fear.
"A Biao." Yan Mo raised her hand to stop A Biao. Since last night was not a dream, she had to find out. So, she came here today just to confirm whether Xiao Ru's betrayal had anything to do with her.
When Xiaoru came to the store to help, Ju learned that she had dropped out of junior high school. Grandma Si Ze felt sorry for Xiaoru and let her work as a maid in the Si family. It has been many years now. Everyone likes her and everyone thinks that Xiaoru is honest, hardworking and kind.
Her betrayal surprised Yan Mo. He couldn't figure it out after thinking about it for the whole morning. How could she attack the old man despite such deep feelings for him? In Yan Mo's opinion, there must be external factors involved.
Yan Mo wanted to know if this external factor was Ren Hua. If it was really her,
Then she will change her previous decision.
Originally, he planned that even if she didn't say anything, Yan Mo would let her go after the kidnapping matter was clarified. After all, she was introduced by grandpa, so he would just give grandpa face.
