She didn't beat around the bush and asked directly, "Do you know who's behind Brother Tie?"
Lu Dongjue paused for a moment, then asked, "You want to ask me where Sheng Nanyin is?"
It seems he knows everything.
This is what Yun Suiwan learned in the past two days.
Tie Ge works for Huo Beichen, and Huo Beichen has all the information about Yun Wanqing and Chen Lizhen.
The Yun and Lu families have accumulated wealth over several generations, and everything they own is respectable and aboveboard; there's nothing messy or shady about it.
But Huo Beichen is not.
He was in a phase of frantic accumulation, so he used some unconventional people and methods.
The Yun and Lu families are not afraid of him, but they do not want to offend him easily.
Yun Suiwan said, "Why do you think Huo Beichen went through all this trouble?"
"You mean, he did this for Sheng Nanyin?" Lu Dongjue was a little skeptical. "Aren't he and Sun Xiaowei doing well? Isn't he afraid that doing this will ruin his plans with the Sun family?"
“Everyone has a weakness.” Yun Suiwan shook her head. “Sheng Nanyin is Huo Beichen’s weakness.”
"I'm going to see Brother Tie today, and he'll definitely offer to exchange Sheng Nanyin for her."
Lu Dongjue was extremely reluctant, "There are many ways to handle Yun Wanqing's matter, why must we hand over Sheng Nanyin?"
Yun Suiwan gently held his hand. "I know you want to get the antidote from Sheng Nanyin. Trust me, Sheng Nanyin will give me the antidote."
"They're all a bunch of con artists!" Lu Dongjue said angrily. "Sheng Nanyin isn't a good person either!"
Didn't she help Huo Beichen break them up back then?
"Don't ask me for Sheng Nanyin anymore. I already chopped her into hundreds of pieces to vent my anger over her chattering!" Lu Dongjue said viciously.
Yun Suiwan smiled and patted his cheek.
childish.
...
In a small restaurant on the street, the lighting was dim, and every table was covered in a layer of grease... because of the grease buildup over time.
Yun Wanqing sat in a corner of the restaurant, wolfing down her food. In front of her were a few ordinary dishes: scrambled eggs with tomatoes, pan-fried tofu, and meatball soup.
Li Xiaoyun stayed by her side, feeling both heartache and emotion.
Her daughter had never eaten such simple food before, but this was all she could offer her now.
“It’s all Mom’s fault…” Li Xiaoyun wiped away her tears.
After eating and drinking her fill, Yun Wanqing looked impatient. "What's the use of saying all this? It won't bring in any money!"
"Have you and Yun Suiwan reached an agreement? "The Huo family won't cause me any trouble anymore, right?" she asked.
Li Xiaoyun nodded quickly, "It's agreed, it's agreed."
Yun Wanqing was relieved and stood up.
"Qingqing, where are you going?" Li Xiaoyun asked.
"Of course we need to find a place to stay. Are we supposed to stay in this lousy place all day?" Yun Wanqing said impatiently.
"Where are you staying..." Li Xiaoyun wanted to chase after him, but was stopped by the waiter. "You've finished eating, please settle the bill."
After Li Xiaoyun paid the bill, Yun Wanqing had already walked out of the store.
She hurried and caught up, panting, saying, "Qingqing, why don't you come back to the nursing home with me first? Your dad and I have a double room, there'll be room if we make room."
"Are you kidding me?" Yun Wanqing said with a look of disgust. "Is that a place for me?"
After saying that, she pointed to a tall building not far away: "Go there and book a room for me, and pay two months' rent in advance."
Li Xiaoyun was stunned. She knew that place; it was a four-star hotel.
After two months, I've made quite a bit of money.
“Qingqing,” Li Xiaoyun said gently, “Mom has another apartment in the neighborhood, but it’s rented out for another six months. You can stay at the nursing home for six months first, and then move into the apartment when the lease expires.”
"What do you mean?" Yun Wanqing scoffed. "In your heart, the person renting the house is more important than your daughter, isn't he?"
“That’s not what Mom meant,” Li Xiaoyun quickly explained. “Didn’t Mom already collect rent from someone else?”
"That means money is more important than your daughter."
Li Xiaoyun was speechless and heartbroken.
It's all my fault for being useless; I couldn't even solve my daughter's housing problem.
All of this was caused by Yun Suiwan!
"Qingqing, don't be angry," Li Xiaoyun made up her mind. "I'll refund the rent right now and have someone move the place."
Yun Wanqing snorted, "Then hurry up, I haven't had a proper rest in days."
Li Xiaoyun immediately called her father and asked him to handle the matter properly.
Yun's father objected immediately: "The rent from that house is our only source of income right now. If you take the house back, who will pay for our retirement next year?"
Li Xiaoyun was already in a mess, and when she heard her husband questioning her decision, she immediately got angry: "You, surnamed Yun, are you the child's father? Don't you care about the child?"
"Besides, that house was originally my dowry, it belongs to the Li family, and I can do whatever I want with it!"
Yun's father had no choice but to agree.
Yun Wanqing checked into the hotel first, and only after Li Xiaoyun had arranged for people to clean the house did she reluctantly check out of the hotel room.
"What kind of place is this? The whole house is smaller than the living room of a villa."
"How many years have these home appliances been around? Are they still usable?"
"Is there no integrated air conditioning or fresh air system here?"
Is this even a place for humans to live?
Upon entering the house, she immediately began to find fault with everything.
Li Xiaoyun was in poor health, and the exhaustion from days of running around had left her too tired to even speak.
Yun's father stood aside, unable to bear it any longer. "Qingqing, you need to realize your current situation. It's already pretty good that you can live in a house like this."
Yun Wanqing immediately flew into a rage: "What do you mean! Who do you think you are! Let me tell you, no matter what, I am still the second young lady of the Huo family!"
Feeling embarrassed, Yun's father immediately retorted, "Then why don't you go and be the second young lady of the Huo family? What are you doing back here!"
"Fine, I'll go. Who cares!"
Yun Wanqing turned and left.
"Qingqing!" Li Xiaoyun had no choice but to stand up and pull Yun Wanqing back. "Don't go yet, Mom still has something to say to you!"
Li Xiaoyun pulled Yun Wanqing into an inner room, opened a safe, and took out a box from it.
"What is this?" Yun Wanqing asked, but she couldn't wait to open it.
What she saw made her eyes light up.
Jewelry, and more jewelry—a dozen or so pieces!
"Mom, where did you get these things?" Yun Wanqing asked curiously.
“These are all things I saved up when I was with the Yun family.” A hint of hatred flashed in Li Xiaoyun’s eyes. “Although the old lady of the Yun family didn’t give me any inheritance, she can’t take these things back.”
"Mom, this thing of yours could fetch a lot of money now, right?" Yun Wanqing's eyes gleamed with greed.
Li Xiaoyun smiled and shook her head: "I can't afford a villa, but buying a small apartment for yourself is no problem."
