Wen Shuqiao opened the door, and Yu Mingxue stood outside looking in. When she saw it was Wen Shuqiao, she nodded slightly and said, "Good morning."
Wen Shuqiao opened the door a little: "Good morning."
She had barely finished speaking when a small head peeked out from behind her. Upon seeing that it was Yu Mingxue, she couldn't help but smile: "Pretty auntie! You're here!"
Yu Mingxue's previously calm face curled up slightly when she saw him, but then, as if remembering something, she softened her expression and said, "Yes, good morning to you too."
Can Can had already come out of the house. He walked to Yu Mingxue's side, reached out and took her hand, then looked up and smiled sweetly at her: "Pretty auntie, come to my house to play! My house is so much fun, and I have lots of toys! And milk cake!"
Wen Shuqiao opened the door completely: "Miss Yu, please come in."
Yu Mingxue wanted to let go of Cancan's hand, but Cancan held it tightly. Helpless, she could only lead him back into the house.
Can Can pulled her to sit on the sofa, then said, "Wait for me! I'll go get you some toys to play with!"
It was just like the little master helping to greet the guests, while the milk and cake stood at a distance, watching Yu Mingxue, seemingly sizing her up.
Yu Mingxue shifted her gaze from the festive cats and dogs to examine the house.
Wen Shuqiao placed the water in front of her: "Please drink."
Yu Mingxue thanked her and, seeing Wen Shuqiao sit down on the single sofa, asked, "Are you with Shen Jiazhou?"
Wen Shuqiao was stunned for a moment, then quickly explained, "No, I'm just staying here for a few days. I'll move out once I find a place to live."
After she finished speaking, Can Can also came out with the puzzle pieces, muttering to herself, "Grandpa Landlord kicked me and my aunt out, but luckily Uncle has a big house!"
He placed the puzzle on the coffee table: "Pretty auntie, play with me!"
Yu Mingxue raised her hand and patted his head: "Play by yourself."
Can Can enthusiastically invited, "It's so much fun! Don't you want to play?"
"Why don't you help Auntie put it together? Auntie will watch you play." Wen Shuqiao interjected, "Auntie and I have something to talk about."
Can Can pouted: "Okay, okay then! I won't say anything!"
He also made a gesture of covering his mouth, and his eyes curved into crescents as he looked at Yu Mingxue.
Yu Mingxue looked into those eyes, her thoughts unreadable, but Wen Shuqiao sensed that she seemed a little down.
Can Can accepted the task and started doing the jigsaw puzzle for the pretty aunt. Yu Mingxue stared at him for a while, and when she looked at Wen Shuqiao again, her expression had returned to normal. She went straight to the point: "Wen Sisi, no, it should be Su Sisi, why did she abandon Can Can at the orphanage?"
Wen Shuqiao shook her head: "I don't know either. When I went to pick him up, he had already been in the orphanage for half a year."
"Half a year." Yu Mingxue practically spat out the two words through gritted teeth. It seemed she hadn't dealt with Su Sisi well enough yesterday. She should have taken Su Sisi to the Su family home to settle accounts properly in front of them!
Wen Shuqiao nodded: "Six months later, I went to pick him up and rented a house. A while ago, the landlord wanted to sell the house to use for his son's wedding, so Can Can and I temporarily stayed at his uncle's house."
Yu Mingxue stared intently at Wen Shuqiao, who asked, "Is there something on my face?"
Yu Mingxue slowly withdrew her gaze: "No, it's just that you seem a little different from before."
"Have we met before?" Wen Shuqiao asked in return.
"I checked." Yu Mingxue was also frank: "Didn't you ask Shen Jiazhou about my affairs?"
Wen Shuqiao pursed her lips: "I only know that you are Shen Jiachen's childhood friend, and maybe you also know Wen Zhixia. Miss Yu, I think it's better if we're straightforward. You came to see me not just to tell me that you've investigated me, right?"
Yu Mingxue looked at Wen Shuqiao's face. Even after hearing that she had looked up her information, the other party's expression did not change much. This face did indeed resemble Wen Zhixia's somewhat.
She leaned back on the sofa, thought for a moment, and then asked in a much softer tone, "Did he suffer when he was in the orphanage?"
Wen Shuqiao's gaze fell on Cancan. Cancan now looked completely different from when she first arrived.
"I don't know," Wen Shuqiao replied. "I was very thin back then; you could almost see my bones."
Children of this age are all the little darlings of their families, and they are all well-fed and chubby. It's almost impossible to find one who is so thin that you can see their bones.
Yu Mingxue bit her lower lip lightly and remained silent, her arrogance much lower than before.
Wen Shuqiao tentatively asked, "Are you and Wen Zhixia friends?"
"Who's her friend?" Yu Mingxue muttered. "A college classmate, we just lived in the dorm together for a few days."
It sounds like they're not very familiar with each other.
But Yu Mingxue's actions last night didn't seem like she was unfamiliar with Wen Zhixia at all; watching that video, she seemed to be avenging her best friend.
Can Can also told her yesterday that Wen Zhixia had shown her Yu Mingxue's photos many times and even asked her to remember what she looked like.
No matter how you look at it, they seem to be more than just college classmates and roommates.
Yu Mingxue didn't want to talk about it, and Wen Shuqiao wisely refrained from asking further. She said, "Miss Yu, besides seeing Cancan, is there anything else you want to tell me today?"
Yu Mingxue said, "No, that's all."
Wen Shuqiao nodded: "Okay, then do as you please."
After saying that, she got up and prepared to go back to the dining table.
Yu Mingxue was taken aback when she saw that she had actually gotten up: "Where are you leaving?"
Why aren't you playing by the rules?
