"Chu Yu, Chu Yu! You are my Chu Yu!" Zou Minzhao finally burst into tears.
Chu Yu's tears also fell. She had never shown her emotions. Even though she had been in this world for so long, she had never given up, no matter how great the difficulties she encountered.
But at this moment, she couldn't hold back her tears.
"Mom, is that you? Am I dreaming?"
“It’s me, it’s Shen Jun. Mom thinks she’s dreaming, otherwise, how could she be so lucky to come back to this world and meet my Chu Yu again?”
Chu Yu tasted the saltiness of her tears. She touched her forehead to Shen Jun's forehead, and the two of them calmed down in this way.
"Mom, when did you arrive?" Chu Yu asked.
Shen Jun sobbed twice and choked out, "I came here in 1978. I was lucky to be born during the reform and opening up period. After my divorce, I opened a shop in Beijing and made enough money to support myself."
When Shen Jun opened the shop, she always thought of her past life. She often missed her daughter. She opened this small shop to leave something behind, after all, this shop holds many happy times for her and her daughter.
However, Shen Jun transmigrated into Zou Minzhao's body. She didn't know if in the future there would be someone named Shen Jun who would marry Chu Yu's father and have a child named Chu Yu.
But she still wanted to wait for her daughter here, like going to a ferry crossing to wait for a ship that would never come.
Whether the ship will come or not is not important; what she is waiting for is hope, a kind of psychological comfort.
Even if she and Chu Yu both time-traveled, there are over a billion people in this country. In this vast sea of people, the chances of the two of them reuniting are extremely slim.
But this small roujiamo (Chinese hamburger) shop still brought the mother and daughter together.
Shen Jun waited eight years before finally welcoming her daughter.
Chu Yu's eyes reddened again. In this world, she had a mother, sisters, uncles and aunts, cousins, a boyfriend, and classmates, but Shen Jun had always been alone. She had waited for her for eight years.
"Mom, but why did you open the shop here? If you wanted to wait for me, you should have gone to the entrance of Changfeng Middle School."
Shen Jun laughed, "Don't you know? The land where I opened my roujiamo (Chinese hamburger) shop is the neighborhood where you lived in your future life. The old houses in this area haven't been demolished yet. I know you don't want to go back to your hometown, but you've lived in Beijing for so many years. If you have the chance, you will definitely come to Beijing. So I've been waiting for you here. What about you? Tell me about your situation."
"Then you can't be jealous when I tell you, because I have a mother in this world."
Shen Jun smiled, her gaze fixed on Chu Yu with love. "Although Mom is jealous, Mom is happy for you. Tell Mom, does your mother in this world love you? Does she show favoritism? Does she neglect or belittle you?"
"No, she's very good to me. When I first arrived, she was going through a divorce..."
Chu Yu told Shen Jun what had happened. Hearing that Chu Yu had helped Shu Hui give up her hopes, and that Shu Hui had been turned away by her uncle after the divorce, Shen Jun felt as if she were seeing herself in a past life.
"My two younger sisters are named Chu Xiang and Chu Chu, and they are both quite outstanding. By the way, Mom, I am currently studying at Tsinghua University and will be a junior this fall. I also run a clothing company and a film and television company, and I have made quite a bit of money."
Chu Yu leaned her head on Shen Jun's shoulder and acted coquettishly towards her mother. Shen Jun was extremely proud when she heard that Chu Yu had been admitted to Tsinghua University!
"My daughter is amazing! Mom is such a big fan of yours, I'm always totally smitten with you! I'll always be so proud of you!"
Chu Yu chuckled. In her past life, Shen Jun loved to flatter and encourage her. Chu Yu's classmates all envied her for having such a mother.
"I'm not as good as you say. I just know some key historical moments and that various industries have been booming in recent years. I just want to take advantage of this opportunity to make more money in preparation for entering the real estate and internet industries in the future."
These two industries are the real growth opportunities.
Chu Yu couldn't possibly miss out on these two lucrative opportunities.
Shen Jun never expected her daughter to be so amazing; she was completely captivated. Not long ago, she was still agonizing over missing her daughter, but fate played such a cruel joke on her, sending her daughter to her side.
Thinking of the two robbers outside, Shen Jun's face darkened again.
"It's all my fault. I've dragged you into this. If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have been in danger."
Before Shen Jun knew that Chu Yu was her own daughter, she was willing to worry about Chu Yu wholeheartedly. You can imagine how she felt when she found out that Chu Yu was her daughter.
Shen Jun was terrified, her heart aching. She was terrified that her daughter would be harmed by those two thugs, and she wished she could rush out and fight them to the death to protect her daughter.
But their situation wasn't good. Shen Jun took a deep breath, considering the worst-case scenario, and said earnestly:
“Daughter, let me tell you, the most important thing is to be alive. If I can’t protect you, if you really get killed by them… you must not try to kill yourself. It’s already hard enough for us women to live, what’s the point of this so-called reputation? I just want you to live. No matter what happens, you will always be my most beloved daughter, and that will never change.”
Chu Yu was moved by Shen Jun's love for her daughter.
She was out of options, that's why she said those things to herself.
For Shen Jun, she would do anything as long as her daughter could live.
"Mom, I know."
“Daughter, nothing is more important than life. Mom will do everything she can to save you, but if I can’t… all I want is for you to live. Nothing else matters. Really, just think of it as being bitten by a dog. Once you get out of this dream, forget all about it. You will still be the same person you were before.”
Chu Yu knew this, but she also wanted to protect her mother. In her previous life, she watched helplessly as Shen Jun fell ill and passed away, and she couldn't do anything about it.
In this life, the mother and daughter have just been reunited; they absolutely cannot die here.
A fierce glint appeared in Chu Yu's eyes. "Mom, don't worry, I will protect you."
Chu Yu's prediction was correct; as soon as she entered Zou Minzhao's house, Li Jinchao sensed something was wrong.
People in the underworld have a kind of intuition, and Li Jinchao, by the light of the moon, saw the cold glint of the blade in the darkness.
Chu Yu went in and didn't come out for a long time, which confirmed Li Jinchao's idea.
He was sent by Dai Donglin to protect Chu Yu. If anything were to happen to Chu Yu, he wouldn't be able to explain it to Dai Donglin, and he would feel truly ashamed towards Chu Yu.
Last month, his father had a knee problem, and it was Chu Yu who contacted a doctor in Beijing to perform surgery on his father.
Li Jinchao truly considered Chu Yu as family. Now that Chu Yu was imprisoned, he dared not act rashly. He immediately called Gangcheng and made arrangements according to Dai Donglin's instructions over the phone.
