Chapter 70: The cold-hearted woman was demoted from human to earth...
.
Chen Yun took a quick look. The old woman in front of her was well-dressed. Her plain clothes had no brand logos. Her simplicity was enhanced by a touch of the designer's ingenuity. The material was definitely not an ordinary fabric on the market.
"Excuse me..." Chen Yun put away her scrutinizing gaze and asked politely, "Do you know my daughter?"
Wang Guihua turned her head away. She was not wearing any other jewelry. As she spoke, the small fish pendants on her earlobes swayed slightly with her movements, like the shadows of two emerald fish in the depths of a green lake.
She also looked at Chen Yun carefully.
"I'm Mr. Xiaochi's student." Wang Guihua introduced herself calmly and asked, "Who are you two?"
Chi Yuanhang was very friendly and introduced himself to everyone, "We are Youyou's parents."
Strangers from all over the world gather together with the same goal.
.
When she saw the people who were picking her up at the airport again, she was more nervous than happy - her gambling-addicted father and sick mother, whom she hadn't seen for two and a half years, sent her a message to call her back.
Just a few words: "Daughter, come back soon."
Chi Leyou's heart skipped a beat. After analyzing everything carefully, she came to the conclusion: something happened at home.
It was most likely her gambling father. Or maybe it was her mother's body...? She didn't want to think about it any further and returned to her gambling father.
Is he in jail? Are debt collectors coming to his house? Is he and his mother living on the streets? Which homeless shelter are they staying at?
He clearly said he turned over a new leaf, but he still gambled and cut off his hands.
Chi Leyou immediately booked the nearest flight, all the while figuring out which finger of her father's to chop off first.
Chi Yuanhang met his daughter's murderous gaze and swallowed unconsciously. Although she was his biological daughter, he was really a little afraid of her.
The darling daughter lowered her eyes and inspected his fingers one by one. Chi Yuanhang nervously curled his fingers together, imitating Doraemon.
The girl's phone kept vibrating in her hand, and her toes guessed it and told her that it must be Chen Che.
She glanced at the bustling crowd again. The person who had been learning English with her on the mobile phone screen 48 hours ago was now standing three meters away.
This was another arrangement by Shen Che.
"Teacher Xiaochi!" Wang Guihua stepped forward and hugged her.
On the other side, Mrs. Wang said, "Please take it," pushed the human-shaped stand aside, and used her free hand to quickly press the shutter of her mobile phone to record the scene.
Chi Yuanhang and Chen Yun were holding up the human-shaped stand in a daze.
"It really is our Youyou..." Chi Yuanhang looked down at the smiling face on the acrylic.
Chen Yun managed to say, "She's pretty good-looking, with really long legs."
Their gazes returned to their lively daughter, without any comparison or hurt.
Who photoshopped this? There are only legs left under the head.
Two groups of people surrounded the girl from the left and right and came to the parking lot, looking like a hostage.
Biu——
Both cars are unlocked at the same time.
The small Fit was next to the B-type luxury car with wings. The door of the luxury car opened, the driver raised the trunk, and stretched forward his white-gloved hand to take the girl's suitcase.
Everyone was fighting and scrambling.
Girls are torn between choosing between living with their father or their mother after a divorce.
"Grandma Wang," she said softly, "I'll go back with my parents. Thank you for coming to pick me up."
"Call her 'Grandma'." Wang Guihua was a little anxious.
Chi Leyou quickly opened the suitcase and took out a box of maple leaf-shaped butter cookies. She said shyly, "Grandma, this is for you."
She didn't have much money, so she only bought some small souvenirs, which she originally planned to send to Wang Guihua when she got back.
"Ah, I have a gift too." Cosmic-level fireworks exploded in Wang Guihua's mind. She felt so happy that she wanted to show off in front of those old men and women right now.
——"My granddaughter-in-law brought it to me from Kimchi Country!"
——"My grandson's girlfriend gave me a gift."
——“My daughter-in-law brought me some local specialties from her business trip.”
——"My grandson's girlfriend just landed from abroad, and the first thing she did was give me a gift." Wang Guihua heard herself say proudly.
"Youyou, say goodbye to Old Lady Wang, let's get in the car." Chi Yuanhang did not feel inferior because of Wang Guihua's luxury car. In his eyes, these were just means of transportation and were no different from old men's cars.
Wang Guihua was not happy. After all, she came here and on the way back, she even said a few more words to her future granddaughter-in-law to win her favor. After all, the child was currently someone else's.
She was helpless and felt extremely anxious.
Chi Leyou was just about to say goodbye to Wang Guihua.
Bang! The rearview mirror of the Fit fell to the ground.
Chi Yuanhang smiled innocently: "I was hit by the old man Le and didn't catch up." Before he finished speaking, Chen Yun took out a roll of tape from the car.
"..." Chi Leyou couldn't laugh. Her head was full of blood. Did she hit someone? So they hurriedly told her to go back home.
"Old Li, drive back for Mr. Chi," Wang Guihua gave an order, and the driver squeezed into the cab of the small Fit attentively.
.
On the way back.
Mrs. Wang was driving, and Chi Yuanhang was sitting in the passenger seat.
Although the back row was spacious, Chi Leyou, sandwiched between Wang Guihua and Chen Yun, still felt the space was cramped.
She just sent a message to Shen Che: I got off the plane.
He didn't say anything. It was the middle of the night over there, so he should be asleep by now.
Unexpectedly, twenty minutes after getting on the bus, Chi Leyou's phone started to receive messages one after another as if it had exploded.
Mr. Shen: My grandma is here to pick you up, have you picked her up?
Mr. Shen: My grandma posted on WeChat Moments. You have time to take a photo with her, but you don’t have time to reply to my message?
The phone kept vibrating, and Chen Yun and Wang Guihua looked over at the same time.
Mr. Shen sent a 10-second voice message.
Chi Leyou's fingertips trembled and he touched it by mistake.
A grumbling voice echoed throughout the car: "You even gave my grandma a gift?! Why don't I have one?"
The carriage was quiet, some people were confused, some were watching.
Another 20-second voice message automatically plays: "My grandma got a share, but I didn't. It's not fair! You idiot!"
Chi Leyou was petrified.
Chen Yun pondered for three seconds, looked past her daughter and towards the old lady, mouthing: Your grandson?
Wang Guihua nodded excitedly.
Chen Yun was unhappy: "Why did he scold my daughter?"
"..." Wang Guihua assessed the situation and stood up to the outside world. "How could this brat curse at me? I must teach him a lesson!"
"Grandma," the girl said, sitting very well and speaking in a gentle manner, "please stop scolding him."
Something's happening. Chen Yun glanced at her daughter and said nothing.
Wang Guihua felt like a lump of melted cream was melting in her heart, so smooth and fragrant that she was simply reluctant to leave.
"No, I have to scold him! Otherwise, he will bully you again in the future." This was a symbolic statement. The child was secretly supporting the bully, so how could she punish him?
Sure enough, Chi Leyou spoke up for Chen Che again. Fearing that Wang Guihua would really call and scold him, she lowered her head, blocked the WeChat voice message with her hand, and spoke English to Chen Che.
Wang Guihua knew the words "parents" and "car," but no one in the car understood them. But when she turned around and saw the other people in the car looking rather bewildered, she suddenly realized she was the one who "understood" the most. The old woman's face lit up.
——"Don't make any noise! My parents are in your car too. If you make any noise, everyone will hear you. Aren't you ashamed?"
Young Master Shen, who was far away in Maple Leaf Country, listened to it three times while holding his mobile phone.
Not satisfying.
If the elders weren't there, he would have to video chat with her. If she ignored him again, he would really make a fuss.
Shen Che smiled with a worthless look on his face, and every time Lu Ziyu saw it, he got goosebumps all over his body.
Outside the car window, the stars hung low in the sky and the moonlight poured in, making the skin of the man in the back seat glow with a cold white glaze.
He sent a message: Let your parents live in my house, I have many guest rooms.
His family often hosted guests. The best guest room was never used. It was only when Grandma's younger sister came over that they would vacate it. That room was for Youyou's parents. She slept in the room he had lived in since he was a child.
Cold-hearted woman: Listen to me, does this make sense?
The message was quickly withdrawn.
Cold-hearted woman: I'm so sorry to bother your grandmother. I'm already very grateful for the help between friends, how can I trouble you again?
Lu Ziyu, who was working hard for his cousin, tightened his grip on the steering wheel. The air pressure in the car dropped significantly. While the light was red, he glanced sideways: "Brother, what's wrong?"
Chen Che: "She said she and I were 'friends'."
"Nothing wrong."
“…”
"You haven't been promoted to a regular member yet. No, you're not even a reserve member..." Lu Ziyu said in a gentle and reasonable voice, "It's normal for people to treat you as a friend."
“Who wants to be friends with her?!” Shen Che didn’t dare to quarrel with Chi Leyou, he quarreled with his dear cousin.
Lu Ziyu's nails dug into the leather steering wheel and he almost suffocated.
Chen Che lowered his head and changed the top message from "cold-hearted woman" to "heartless and ruthless broken ball".
Downgraded from human citizenship to ball citizenship.
.
Chi Leyou stepped into the house.
The house that Chi Yuanhang sold appeared in front of him intact. Besides surprise, he was more confused.
In other words, her gambling father has lost his credit in her mind.
"Dad, what's going on?"
The look in her daughter's eyes was quite similar to the look her grandmother Chi Leyou gave her when she was scolding her with a cane.
Seven hundred days or so is enough to reshape a person. A once obedient daughter, in a foreign land without her parents, grew wildly like a weed, the stronger the wind, the tougher the stem.
"Dad really doesn't gamble anymore." Chi Yuanhang's eyes were slightly red.
"Have some water first." Chen Yun brought out a plate of sliced honeydew melon and made a cup of jasmine tea for her daughter.
It turns out that what Chen Yun said before, "Things are getting better at home," was true.
Chi Yuanhang's old high school classmate really found him a decent job.
"Community liaison officer of the Anti-Fraud Publicity Association." Chi Yuanhang showed his work badge.
Chi Leyou held the small work badge in his hand, and it felt heavy and substantial.
Just as she was about to ask about the house, Chi Yuanhang was like a worm in her stomach, and he couldn't stop talking.
After hearing the last part, Chi Leyou came to the conclusion: her father was a son of luck.
The family lost their property at the gambling table and was forced to move... However, the creditor was suspected of fraud and sneaked abroad overnight and lost contact, so the debt was invalidated.
"He won't come back?"
"I heard he's dead."
“…”
She rummaged through her suitcase and only brought back these souvenirs - cookies, dried cranberries, and truffle chocolates. She couldn't afford anything too expensive.
"Give these boxes to your classmates. They were originally meant for you."
Chi Yuanhang waved his hands hurriedly: "No, I bought Mingqian Longjing tea with my first month's salary, but my classmate refused to accept it and even accused me of hurting him."
"?" It was just tea leaves, why did they make such a big deal out of it? Chi Leyou was puzzled: "Who is your classmate?"
"I'll scare you to death if I tell you." Chi Yuanhang straightened his back a little, a long-lost glow on his face, "The head of the Municipal Bureau, your Uncle Shen."
“!!!”
Chi Leyou's scalp tingled.
.
It was a magical day, my mood was like a roller coaster, plummeting from high to low, and then forced to straighten up.
She hurriedly took a shower and threw herself into her bed.
In the past week, in addition to studying, she arranged a lot of work for herself. She admitted her selfishness and wanted to gradually distance herself from Shen Che.
It’s not that we don’t want to be friends, there are different levels of friends.
There is only one throne for "You and I are the best in the world", and Ren Mi and Park Ye Jin fight for it from time to time.
Unexpectedly, the clinging spirit's stickiness was beyond her expectations.
Physically and mentally exhausted, and suffering from jet lag, she fell into a deep sleep.
When she woke up, it was already the next night.
The phone screen turns bright.
Still sleeping? Come back to me when you wake up.
The clingy guy sent me a photo, showing the hazy night sky and the moon missing.
Chi Leyou pondered the time difference and thought it should be daytime in Maple Leaf Country. "Huh? Why is it night? What time are you at?"
The clingy guy: 9 PM.
The phone has automatically switched the time zone, and the time displayed in the upper left corner is: 21:01.
The clingy guy: It’s 9:01 now.
Her throat felt dry and she asked: Where are you?
The clingy guy: Downstairs from your house.
Chi Leyou threw back the quilt and stepped barefoot on the cool floor. She yanked the curtains open. The moon had quietly returned, its light parting the veil-like clouds and outlining the slender figure below.
The men standing downstairs looked up at the same time and smiled at her.
