Chapter 200: Relief
"You haven't even sent me a message or called me, and now you are asking me something hypocritically?" Tu Shanyue said again.
Zhu Guorui felt a little embarrassed by what he said. He glanced at Yao Wen and said, "Didn't I ask you, Aunt Yao, to send you a message and call you? Who can you blame for not replying?"
"If I don't go back, aren't you afraid that something might happen to me and I won't be able to go back?" Tu Shanyue asked back.
Zhu Guorui frowned, "Aren't you okay now?"
"Yes, I'm fine." Tu Shanyue's lips curled up with a hint of sarcasm, "When I'm in trouble, I don't know if you can still say such words."
"If you stay at home and don't run around, what can happen?" said Zhu Guorui.
"Yes, Tongtong, you ran away from home suddenly. Are you dissatisfied with me, your aunt?" Yao Wen said at the right time.
Tu Shanyue turned to look at her and raised her eyebrows, "Aunt Yao, I have no complaints about you."
"Then why don't you reply to my messages and calls?" Yao Wen asked, "Auntie is very worried about you."
Tu Shanyue smiled slightly, "Aunt Yao, if you were really worried about me, you should have asked my dad to send someone to look for me instead of just pretending to send me a few messages and call me every day."
"After all, everyone can put on an act, right, Aunt Yao?"
Yao Wen's expression froze for a moment, and she explained, "Tongtong, you really misunderstood me. I asked your father if I should send someone to look for you, but he disagreed. I'm a woman who knows nothing, so even if I wanted to, I couldn't do anything."
"Okay, your Aunt Yao did mention this to me, but it was me who stopped her." Zhu Guorui paused and then changed the subject. "So why did you run away from home?"
Tu Shanyue's eyes moved slightly, "I missed my mother, so I went back to live here for half a year."
Zhu Guorui didn't expect that she had returned to the small fishing village, and the anger in his heart was instantly extinguished.
After all, her mother is buried there and she has lived there for more than ten years. It is understandable that she wants to go back and live there for a while.
Zhu Guorui didn't want to talk about Zhu Tong's mother anymore, so he stopped pursuing the matter and said casually, "Okay, now that you're back, stay here and don't run around and embarrass yourself. If you do it again,..."
When Zhu Yao heard that Tu Shanyue was going to stay, she immediately became unhappy. She curled her lips and couldn't help but say, "Dad, have you forgotten what she did to me? You said it yourself. With her in this house, there's not a single day of peace..."
Tu Shanyue sneered, "What have I done to you, Zhu Yao? Don't forget, I was the one who saved your life. Without me, would you still be alive today?"
Zhu Yao bit her lip, pinched her hands, and immediately retorted, "Isn't that all returned to you? Not only did I let you recognize your ancestral roots, but I also let you live here and provided you with food and clothing. Otherwise, do you think an illegitimate daughter like you could even enter this door?"
She paused and continued, "Haven't you done enough for me? As long as I like something, you take it all, regardless of whether you really need it or not."
"Why can't I have it? You are allowed to have a violin, but I can't?" Tu Shanyue asked back.
"But you can't play the violin at all. What do you want it for? Aren't you doing it on purpose?" Zhu Yao said.
"Can't I just use my collection as a display?" Tu Shanyue's eyes fell on Yao Wen, who was sitting next to her, and she said innocently, "Besides, it was Aunt Yao herself who said that she would buy me anything I wanted."
Yao Wen's eyes flickered. She said this in the first place so that she would agree to sign to save Zhu Yao.
She pulled up the corners of her mouth and smiled, stretched out her hand to pull Zhu Yao, and said, "Okay, Yaoyao, you and Tongtong are sisters. It's okay if you have the same things. It's not like if you give them to Tongtong, you won't have any more."
"Besides, Tongtong grew up in the countryside. There are many things she hasn't seen, so it's normal for her to want them."
"Besides, you are the elder sister, so it is natural for you to give way to your younger sister."
Zhu Yao wanted to say something else, but was stopped by Yao Wen's eyes, so she had to shut her mouth unwillingly.
Yao Wen retracted her gaze, turned to look at Tu Shanyue, and said, "Tongtong, you must be tired after coming back from such a long distance. Why don't you go upstairs and have a good rest first."
Tu Shanyue stood up from the sofa and raised her chin slightly. "No, I have something else to do, so I won't accompany you. You guys can chat slowly."
Zhu Guorui frowned, "What else do you have to say? Where are you going now that you just got back?"
"Can't I have my own business? Besides, didn't you say that I can't have a single day of peace when I stay in this house? Then I'll leave." Tu Shanyue said, "Wouldn't it be better to leave you guys alone?"
Zhu Guorui: “…”
When Zhu Yao heard this, she was immediately happy and wished that she would leave quickly and never come back.
Tu Shanyue said enough, enough for Tongtong to see clearly what kind of people the three members of her family were.
He immediately ignored them, turned around and walked outside.
......
After walking out of the Zhu family, Tu Shanyue was about to ask Tongtong to go back to Ping'an Lock, but she saw her turn around and look at the door she had just walked out of, wondering what she was thinking.
"What's wrong, Tongtong?" Tu Shanyue asked.
Tongtong retracted his gaze and turned to look at him, "Brother, have they always treated you like this?"
Tu Shanyue nodded, "Yes, that's why I lied to you at the time. I didn't want to tell you because I was afraid that you wouldn't be able to accept the truth and would be sad and upset."
"Sister, what about you saving Zhu Yao?" Tong Tong asked, "You're obviously not me, how could you have saved her?"
"I'm indeed not you, but coincidentally, my bone marrow matches hers, so I was the only one who could save her at that time," Tu Shanyue explained.
"So I negotiated with them, asking them to let the Zhu family acknowledge your existence and live here from now on. Otherwise, given their temperament, they would definitely use you and then throw you away."
"Brother, thank you for doing so much for me."
Tongtong paused, then turned to look at the villa behind him, sighed softly, and continued: "Brother, I don't seem to be as sad as I thought, I'm just very disappointed."
"Maybe it's because you told me the truth beforehand, brother, so I was mentally prepared. Or maybe it's because I haven't experienced all this in this family myself."
Tu Shanyue looked at her softly, "Tongtong, it's best not to be sad, because your father doesn't deserve it at all."
Tongtong nodded, a relieved smile on her pale face, and the obsession that had lingered in her heart for many years dissipated. "Brother, you're right, it's really not worth it."
