Xiao Hua smiled at Gu Jiashi, and holding hands with Xiao Cao, they hummed the Happy Birthday song and skipped into the gates of hell.
Actually, the little flower and the little grass have a secret.
As they struggled in the cesspool, they saw Gu Jiashi standing by the window upstairs.
They also saw Gu Jiashi turn and leave.
They hated their mother for being heartless and refusing to save them from death, and they also hated her for giving love to her younger sister, who was also a girl, but not even a little bit of care to them.
Can……
They loved her too.
Therefore, a bowl of steamed egg custard that transcends time and a happy birthday song allowed them to find peace amidst their intertwined love and hate.
Dear Mom, I wish you all the best in the future, and I also wish that we... will never see each other again.
Gu Jiashi's mind went blank, her body went cold, and she sat stiffly in the chair, a chill rising in her heart.
What did she just say? They all...saw it?
What did you see?
Could it be...?
"Mom? Mom?" Li Yuzhen cried, her face covered in tears and snot. She keenly sensed that something was wrong with Gu Jiashi, and grabbed her hand, sobbing as she called out, "Why are you crying like this?"
Gu Jiashi struggled to regain her senses, forced a smile, and pulled out a tissue with trembling hands to wipe away her tears and snot: "N-nothing."
She was just late. Yes, she was just late.
She never imagined that her mother-in-law, who was right next to them, would just watch as Xiaohua and Xiaocao sank without trying to save them. It was all her mother-in-law's fault.
She had no choice.
She did nothing wrong.
If... if she didn't do that, she simply wouldn't be able to find a way to break the deadlock and leave.
She did nothing wrong!
Gu Jiashi rubbed harder and harder, and she lost control. Li Yuzhen couldn't help but cry out in pain, "Mom, be gentle, it hurts a little."
Gu Jiashi hurriedly withdrew her hand: "I'm sorry."
Nan Yuanman and Feng Jingcheng coldly watched Gu Jiashi, while Lou Yuqi ate his meal obliviously.
After this strange meal was over, Nan Yuanman stood up and held out her hand to Gu Jiashi: "I'm offering 100,000 yuan, Auntie. Do you want cash or a bank transfer?"
"Transfer the money." Gu Jiashi forced a smile at her. "Do you have any amulets? I want to buy two for Yuzhen."
Nam Manchuria said in a businesslike manner: "Yes, one costs ten thousand yuan."
Feng Jingcheng raised an eyebrow and gave her a meaningful look.
Nan Yuanman asserted confidently, "I'm the supplier, and I set all the prices! So what if they're a little more expensive!"
Gu Jiashi readily transferred 150,000 yuan to Nan Yuanman to buy five amulets.
After giving the talisman, Nan Yuanman quickly said goodbye, grabbed Lou Yuqi's collar, and walked out: "Then we'll head back now! Bye-bye, Yuzhen! See you at school later!"
Li Yuzhen grabbed Gu Jiashi's clothes and said, "Goodbye, boss!"
After leaving Li Yuzhen's house, Nan Yuanman first took Lou Yuqi back to his home before getting into a car with Feng Jingcheng and returning to the manor.
She collapsed onto the car seat like a lump of dough: "I'm exhausted! Making money is really not easy."
As Feng Jingcheng drove, he joked, "I thought you wouldn't help her."
Ms. Gu's attitude towards the child was truly disgraceful, not to mention... the silent words the child uttered after he was on the verge of death suggested that there might be other hidden reasons behind the deaths of those two children.
After all, everyone's account after an incident is told from the perspective of what is in their own best interest.
Nan Yuanman swung her legs back and forth and said, "That aunt has a bad character, but she has the blessings of her ancestors. Even if I don't help her now, after she makes a fuss for a few days, someone will still show up to help her solve the problem. It's just that the methods she uses then won't be good for the little flowers and grass, so it's no big deal to lend a hand."
She wasn't doing it to help Gu Jiashi, but for Yuzhen and the two infant spirits.
Feng Jingcheng asked directly, "So she won't face any retribution later?"
Nan Yuanman blinked and said with a grin, "Sixth Brother, guess."
Feng Jingcheng understood immediately.
He didn't press the matter further. After all, retribution is inevitable; those who do evil will eventually face their just deserts.
After Nan Yuanman and Feng Jingcheng returned home, Meng Qingwan came running out and gave Nan Yuanman a big hug: "Oh! My darling Yuanman, I missed you so much!"
Nan Yuanman exclaimed with delight, "Aunt Qingwan! You're back!"
Meng Qingwan was like a free spirit at home. After attending the successful family reunion banquet, she boarded a plane to go abroad for fun.
Before she left, she tried to secretly bring Nan Yuanman along, but Feng Congqian arrested her on the spot and scolded her. She didn't even have time to say goodbye to her unfilial sons before she slunk away.
Meng Qingwan rubbed her cheeks against Nan Yuanman's chubby cheeks, complaining with a mournful expression, "Waaah, your dad is so cruel! To stop me from taking you away, he even had my SIM card replaced!"
What's most infuriating is that not only did they change her number, but they also blocked her. She also forgot Nan Yuanman's phone number and couldn't add her back.
She could only enjoy herself abroad for about ten days with tears in her eyes, and during those ten days, something particularly disgusting happened to her.
If she hadn't remembered what Nan Yuanman said when he gave her the divination... she might have really been in trouble.
Meng Qingwan thought to herself, then hugged Nan Yuanman even tighter, inhaling the milky scent emanating from her: "Little Yuanman, you are truly my lucky star!"
Nan Yuanman was so dizzy from her sucking that he couldn't help but grin foolishly: "Hehe."
Feng Jingcheng was speechless: "Aunt Qingwan, be gentle. Yuanman is still young, and her bones are brittle."
He had barely finished speaking when a clear, curious female voice suddenly came from the stairwell: "These two... Sister Meng, are they your son and daughter?"
Feng Jingcheng and Nan Yuanman both turned to look at the stairwell. What came into view was a man...woman wearing a white shirt, black trousers, with short wolf-tail hair and exquisitely handsome features?
Feng Jingcheng stared wide-eyed at the short-haired woman, then at Meng Qingwan, pointing at them both: "Aunt Qingwan, you, you two...you didn't do something to betray my uncle, did you?"
"Pour out the dirty thoughts in your head, don't corrupt my little Yuanman." Meng Qingwan's face was full of black lines: "This is my college classmate Yin Yanhui. She helped me a bit abroad and just returned to China. She has nowhere to go for the time being, so I asked her to stay here for a couple of days."
Upon hearing this, Nan Yuanman stood on tiptoe, cupped Meng Qingwan's face in her chubby little hands, and carefully examined her features: "Aunt Qingwan, your love tribulation is gone! How did you break it?"
When she first arrived at the Feng family, she did a divination for Meng Qingwan, predicting that she would encounter a love triangle and be plotted against by villains, and she even thought about how to help her avert it.
There were just too many things to do, and there was never a chance. I never expected that Meng Qingwan would break the peach blossom calamity all by herself.
Meng Qingwan sighed, "Yes, nothing can be hidden from our little lucky star."
Coincidentally, after Meng Qingwan was packed up and put on the plane by Feng Congqian, she ran into her first love on the plane.
That is, the first love for whom she had a falling out with the Meng family.
