Chapter 124
"I understand, Dad." He Minyan has calmed down and is now that gentle and weak white lotus again.
Ye Bingkun was very satisfied and looked at Du Yan again, "I heard that they are going to host a banquet for the Wei family tomorrow night. You should coax Wei Mengyao and go with them. Remember to act like a younger brother who has made a mistake."
"Don't worry, Dad. I know what to do." Du Yan is sunny, handsome, and eloquent. He has made Wei Xiong's daughter Wei Mengyao fall in love with him and become devoted to him. It is easy for him to do anything with her and he is full of confidence.
Ye Bingkun is still very confident in this adopted son. Although he seems impulsive and does things without thinking, he actually has a lot of clever ideas and is quite smart.
On the other side, Wei Xiong prepared a small three-story house with people living around him. He could sit in his yard or at home, drinking tea and chatting, which was no different from his life before the end of the world. This is power. Some people can't survive even if they try their best, while others can live like gods by watching others try their best.
The house was very clean and ready for moving in. Lan Shiruo still took out her things and asked her friends to move all her personal belongings. The girls were on the third floor, the men were on the second floor, and the four old men and the spirit were on the first floor.
Lan Shiruo turned on the water and asked He's father and mother to wash themselves thoroughly, and then prepare some cooked food for them to spend the night, and then they went to rest.
Everyone felt at ease and slept well that night, waking up early the next day.
The four old people prepared breakfast and invited their friends to come and eat. Everyone gathered together, talking and laughing. It was the taste of home.
"He Lian, you and Taozi will go back with Uncle He and Aunt He to pack up and take everything you want to take. If you can't finish it, I will find a time to go over and we will leave as soon as we are done." Lan Shiruo said.
He Lian nodded, "Okay, we'll go after dinner."
"Xia Xun and Yi Bing will show us around later and tell us about the situation here."
"no problem."
After breakfast, we packed up and all the friends went out.
Ding and Xia drove Lan Shiruo and his group around the safe zone, got a general understanding of the situation there, and returned to the small villa.
The He family's three members and Feng Tao have returned. The old couple wanted to take everything with them, but felt it was too much trouble, so they decided to only take some clothes and commemorative items for them.
Seeing that they were really reluctant to leave, He Lian simply packed up everything, including all the furniture and beds that could be moved.
Lan Shiruo nodded and said, "Just go over there sometime. It's not a big deal." The old couple was naturally happy to hear that. They couldn't bear to throw away things they had used for a lifetime, even if they were worn out.
After lunch, Lan Shiruo wanted to invite Kong Fenglin to come together in the evening, but unexpectedly, he came by himself in the afternoon, but his face did not look very good.
"Mr. Kong, is there something wrong?"
Kong Fenglin cheered himself up and forced a stiff smile, "It's okay."
"That's good. If you have anything to say, just let me know. After all, we are comrades who have been through thick and thin together. We will host a banquet for the Wei family tonight. Mr. Kong, please stay and join us."
Kong Fenglin thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.
Ding Yibing suddenly remembered something and said, "Du Yan and Wei Mengyao are in love. Maybe they will come together tonight."
Miaomiao was stunned. "Why? Doesn't he know that the person he's going to is my sister? Besides, it's the Wei family who invited us. What does it have to do with him? It's just a relationship. Breaking up can happen in a matter of minutes."
Ding Yibing and Xia Xun looked at each other with a playful look in their eyes.
Xia Xun said, "We haven't had time to tell you yet, but Miss Lan's adoptive father and his family are quite interesting. It all started when they first arrived in N City. Back then, He Minyan was having an affair with the man who brought them there. Everyone knew it, but it was just unspoken. But that man had the ability, but not the brains. He didn't think he was a good person, and he brought a bunch of old, weak, and disabled people with him. It was tough living in N City. He Minyan's family tried to persuade him to no avail, so they started looking for another partner. They initially targeted Wei Yin of the Wei family, but Wei Yin didn't like the white lotus, so He Minyan had to secretly turn to that pig, Mao Xukun. These two were sneaking around looking for excitement, treating He Minyan's ex-boyfriend like a sucker, persuading him to do all the dirty work, so Mao Xukun would get the benefits. The two of them did it with ease, and they were so happy that everyone knew the sucker could run a horse on his head, but he, on the other hand, was convinced that the white lotus was a beautiful, flawless rose."
Xia Xun was so engrossed in his conversation that he didn't notice Kong Fenglin's dark face or his friend's odd look. He continued, "That scapegoat is truly capable. He's done a lot for the Mao family, and He Minyan also benefited from this, catching Mao Heyi's eye and prospering. But N City is a quagmire, and it's impossible for one side to dominate. This family wanted to remain invincible no matter what the outcome, so they sent Du Yan to seduce Wei Mengyao. Du Yan, the pretty boy, was quite capable. With his good looks and eloquence, he quickly succeeded. Plus, he'd awakened his light healing ability, making him very popular with the Wei family. The brother and sister are also capable people. They openly sought marriages with their two rivals and also prospered. So, this family can be considered the winners in life in N City."
Lan Shiruo narrowed her eyes. Indeed, Du Yan had awakened his special ability at this time, and it was a rare light attribute. The rest of the family would soon be able to do so.
Xia Xun continued, "Of course, this is what's happening out in the open. What's even more interesting is what's happening behind the scenes. Mao Heyi's wife is having an affair with Ye Bingkun."
Lan Shiruo, who was drinking tea, asked, "How did you know? The whole city of N knows about it?"
The faces of the children were also very interesting.
"We're the only ones who know about this," Xia Xun began to boast. "You know, I have pretty good eyesight and can see far. That day, I was just standing in the house looking out, and I accidentally spotted these two sneaking around. It was obvious they were having an affair. Yibing and I spent the better part of a month keeping a close eye on them, and we caught them cheating several times. The action was intense, and we were kind enough to record it all. Actually, it's no wonder Mao Heyi's wife eats wild food. With Mao Heyi's fat head, big ears, bloated brain, big belly, bald head, and short, mean stature, I'd have to go out for a snack too."
After he finished speaking, he noticed that his friend's eyes were not very good, so he quickly changed his words, "Hehe, I was just kidding, but this family is really capable, but they are too self-righteous. They really think that others are fools and can be manipulated by them. Little do they know that they are just pawns. After all, they sit high up, so how can they not see the little movements below? In my opinion, the most pitiful ones are the ones who are taken advantage of. There are thousands of horses galloping above their heads, but they are still living happily. I heard that this time they were blown out by pillow talk and failed to come back. He Minyan, the white lotus, immediately turned from hidden to bright, without any concealment. Those who used to be on the same side of their team also jumped. The old, weak, sick and disabled were forced to sweep the streets. In less than a day, several of them froze to death. Tsk tsk, so pitiful."
