"Boss lady, two steamed buns with fresh pork filling, please." A woman who looked to be in her thirties said to the owner of the steamed bun shop.
"Okay, I'll pack it up for you right away." A woman wearing an apron, looking somewhat haggard, replied crisply, with a smile on her face.
He then quickly began packing the buns. After handing the buns to the woman, he continued.
"It's delicious, I'll come again next time." Her voice was filled with delight.
"Okay, I'll buy from you again next time," the woman replied to the proprietress after taking the steamed buns, then turned and left.
Meanwhile, the proprietress turned her head to look at the clock on the wall and realized that it was almost twelve o'clock. She then began to clean up the steamer and put the unsold buns into bags.
Then he closed the roller shutter door, took the steamed buns, and walked towards the backyard inside the house.
After walking into the backyard, I saw a slightly older-looking man sitting on a stool picking vegetables.
"Stop working. These are the steamed buns we sold today. Eat some, and we won't cook lunch," the proprietress said to the man, placing the buns on the table beside her.
"Okay, sure." The man stopped picking vegetables after hearing the proprietress's words.
He then stood up, washed his hands, and picked up the steamed buns on the table to eat.
Afterwards, the proprietress, who had tidied up the clutter in the backyard, also picked up a steamed bun and sat down with the man to eat quietly.
The two were none other than Su Bei and Mo Ran, who had left!
It turns out that after the two left, they went to live in another city that was a little further away from where they originally lived.
However, to their surprise, even so, someone else came looking for them.
On his way home from an outing, Su Bei saw those people near his house.
It seems they've identified the area, but haven't found the exact address yet!
Before they could find him, Su Bei hid himself and then quickly left while they were distracted, hurrying back home.
After that, he took Mo Ran and left the city he had only been in for a short time once again!
This time, I settled down in a relatively distant, less bustling city.
Unexpectedly, someone else was chasing after them. Su Bei narrowly escaped their pursuit this time.
After that, Su Bei escaped with Mo Ran once again.
As a result, due to the search for the land, many people in northern Jiangsu have moved away from other places over the years!
They were able to live a peaceful life only after moving to this small town.
Perhaps because the town is located in a relatively remote area, and as time went on, those people stopped going to such great lengths to find him.
So, even after staying in this small town for so long, no outsiders have come here.
After that, Su Bei and Mo Ran officially settled down here.
Because of their years of hiding and fleeing, the two of them did odd jobs on weekdays, and Su Bei didn't have much money left.
Because they lack formal education and are only high school graduates, they cannot find decent jobs.
They used the money they had left to open a steamed bun shop.
It was difficult at first, but as I learned from experience, I made the steamed buns much better than before and accumulated some regular customers, which allowed me to barely make ends meet.
Over the years, Su Bei and Mo Ran's feelings for each other have gradually faded.
Mo Ran had wanted to leave before, not wanting to live this life of hiding anymore, but now she was already old.
In addition, Su Bei had already started to manipulate Mo Ran before he even noticed her, causing her to lose confidence and instilling in her the idea that no one would want her if she left Su Bei.
Under these circumstances, Mo Ran never considered leaving northern Jiangsu again.
After arriving in this remote town, my head, which had been feeling a bit dizzy after so many years, began to clear up.
But by then, she could no longer turn back; she was too old and didn't want to go through any more trouble.
And so they lived a peaceful and respectful life together in this small town.
He made a living by running a steamed bun shop, working from dawn till dusk every day.
Sometimes she would think back to the days before she severed her adoption relationship with her mother.
It wasn't until then, after experiencing the hardships of life, that she understood her mother's good intentions towards her back then!
According to her mother's plan, she should have been admitted to a prestigious university, had a decent job, and a bright future, but unfortunately, she ruined it all!
Whenever she thinks about it, she hates that she was so young back then, and actually thought that her mother's arrangements for her were a kind of constraint!
It's a feeling of oppression!
Now, when I think about it, all I can feel is deep regret!
Based on the events of the previous life, the Si family should have approached Su Bei and asked him to return to be a wealthy young man.
However, due to Mo Qian's deliberate obstruction, the Si family was prevented from contacting Su Bei and erasing all clues.
Even Su Bei's adoptive mother, who worked as a maid in the Si family, was taken care of.
The Si family discovered the imposter, but after searching everywhere, they couldn't find the real young master of the Si family!
Therefore, Su Bei did not recognize the Si family in this life!
Therefore, there was no later struggle against counterfeit goods.
He married a wealthy heiress of equal social standing and kept Mo Ran as his mistress, among other things.
"Take the jade bracelet I bought a few days ago down from the display shelf and wrap it up," Du Yuechu said to her son, who was standing below, as she sat in her chair.
His face still showed excitement, and his voice clearly revealed his joy.
“Okay, Dad.” Then the man walked towards a cubicle inside the house.
The room had several rows of shelves, on which were displayed some precious antiques.
A short while later, Du Yuechu's son retrieved the jade bracelet.
"Come on, let's go see someone!" Du Yuechu said, looking at his son. A hint of joy appeared on his face.
"Okay, Dad." His voice held a hint of confusion, as if he didn't understand who he was going to see and why his father was so happy today. He even gave away the antique he had managed to acquire at the auction.
Although Du Yuechu's son had many questions, he didn't ask them. Instead, he put on the jade bracelet and followed Du Yuechu out.
Afterwards, Du Yuechu secretly drove his son's car towards Mo Qian's location.
Before long, they arrived at the residential area where Mo Qian lived. After disguising themselves, the two headed towards the address they had obtained through their investigation.
"Ding-dong!"
"Ding-dong!"
Du Yuechu stood at the door, took two deep breaths, and then rang the doorbell.
Shortly afterward, the door opened from the inside.
When Mo Qian saw the unfamiliar man in front of her, a look of doubt flashed across her face.
Then he asked.
"Excuse me, who are you looking for? What can I do for you?" The voice was gentle.
"I...I'm looking for you!" Du Yuechu said excitedly as she looked at the familiar older sister, her face beaming with joy.
