"I have a few meetings to attend, so I won't be back for the next few days. Keep an eye on Li Wei and make sure he doesn't cause any trouble," Li Zhenhua instructed as he left.
"Okay, take care of yourself."
As her husband got into the car and drove away, Yu Huimin's smile faded.
"Mom, I want to eat fish. Make one this afternoon," Li Wei called out as he came out of the house.
"Eat, eat, eat! You still know how to eat? Have you heard anything about that swindler?" Yu Huimin now finds even her most beloved son less agreeable.
"Mom, aren't you annoying? All you ever think about is this. We've already reported it to the police, and they said they'll investigate."
"I must have owed you something in my past life."
Muttering to herself, Yu Huimin still hopped on her basket and went out the door.
Fish and shrimp can only be bought fresh if you go early in the morning.
It's already this late, so she can only try her luck.
In other words, the capital city has a wider variety of goods than other places; otherwise, it would be impossible to buy fresh fish and shrimp in the morning.
After wandering around the grocery stores without finding anything suitable, Yu Huimin did find a fishmonger in a place where farmers from the suburbs and countryside often gathered to sell their goods.
Although they weren't very big, they were still quite novel, and most importantly, no tickets were required.
She picked out two fish and hurried home.
She couldn't have come all this way just to buy fish; her basket also contained some other seasonal vegetables.
They haven't needed a nanny in a long time; now she has to do everything herself, inside and out.
Did Yu Huimin feel wronged? Of course she did, but she also knew that her standing with her husband was not what it used to be, so she didn't dare to be willful anymore.
As she was walking with her basket, she was suddenly bumped hard. Just as she was about to curse, the person who bumped into her had already disappeared.
She was naturally angry to be hit for no reason.
I returned home in a bad mood, and just as I was about to cook, I saw a crumpled piece of paper in the basket.
"Who threw this?" She frowned and unfolded the crumpled paper.
I was shocked after just one glance.
When Li Wei heard that his mother had returned, but there was no sound for a long time, he went to the kitchen.
"Mom, Mom, are you there?"
As soon as she entered the kitchen, she saw her mother standing there in a daze, looking rather unwell.
"Mom, what's wrong?"
Yu Huimin then came to her senses.
"No, it's okay. You go out and wait. Mom will cook right away."
But when she started tidying up, she was distracted and kept making mistakes.
Meanwhile, the person who hit her ended up in a library.
Across a bookshelf, the person wearing a hat asked in a low voice, "Was the item delivered?"
"It's been sent out."
"It's good that it's been sent out. You haven't been exposed, have you?"
"No."
"Be careful, if I don't contact you, you'll be the same as before."
"Understood, Shadow."
Because of that crumpled piece of paper, Yu Huimin barely touched her food during the meal.
However, Li Wei was oblivious and didn't notice at all.
That evening, Yu Huimin sat on the edge of the bed and began to stare blankly again.
She took out the paper from her pocket, looked at it again and again, and finally confirmed one thing.
Lu Chenggong is back.
There was only one word on the paper: "Huimin, I'm back. Let's meet again at a later date."
They knew it was him because there were markings on the paper that only the two of them knew.
But why did he suddenly come back after disappearing without a word more than 20 years ago?
Yu Huimin felt like crying and laughing at the same time.
After more than 20 years of no news, she thought he might be dead.
But who knew he would suddenly say something like that.
Does she hate him? Of course she does. She met him at the hospital, was attracted to him, and even moved in with him.
She was well aware of the gossip circulating around them, and she had even asked him more than once when they would get married, but he always frowned and said it wasn't the right time yet.
She waited and waited, but he simply vanished.
But besides hatred, she felt even more love.
This was the only person she ever loved and was deeply infatuated with when she was young. When their relationship was still strong, he disappeared, which became a deep regret and longing in her heart for many years.
Now, upon seeing his message, she felt a mix of emotions, even a sense of anticipation.
She wanted to meet him.
Thinking of this, she immediately sat down in front of the mirror and looked at herself.
She's getting old; there are wrinkles around her eyes, and her skin isn't as smooth and delicate anymore. What should she do? She started to panic.
Because of this unexpected news, Yu Huimin tossed and turned for several nights.
Even someone as slow as Li Wei noticed that something was wrong with Yu Huimin.
But every time he asked, he was brushed off.
Finally, after Yu Huimin went out again, someone slipped her a note.
This time, she had no idea when the note was slipped in.
The document included the time and place, as well as the color of her clothes if she was willing to meet.
Yu Huimin immediately went home overjoyed.
She took out all the clothes of the same color from the wardrobe and changed into them one by one, looking at herself in the mirror.
After choosing her clothes, she immediately went to the hair salon to get her hair done.
After all that trouble, she arrived at the agreed-upon place quite a while later.
After sitting down, she would frequently smooth her hair or take out a small mirror to check if she had any flaws.
Until someone walked up to her and sat down.
"Huimin".
Yu Huimin looked up abruptly, and upon seeing the person in front of her, tears streamed down her face.
"success."
