Chapter 284 I'll give you all my money
Steaming hot noodles in clear broth, sprinkled with fresh green scallions, are the most comforting food Mu Zi has ever eaten.
“We’ve known each other for so long, and you believe him just because he says so?” Yan Buyu took clothes out of Mu Zi’s suitcase and hung them in the closet. “If I hadn’t come, you really would have left without saying goodbye.”
"Miss, after you finish your noodles, you go to sleep. I have some errands to run." Mu Zi's eyes turned cold.
If she doesn't beat Acheng to death, she's not called Mu Zi, she's called a fool.
"Okay, go early and come back early. We'll have wontons at home tomorrow morning, so don't miss breakfast." Yan Buyu knew what she was going to do and didn't stop her.
Mu Zi finished eating and was about to leave when Yan Buyu called her back.
"Of course, you've kept this from me for so long, so I can't say you're wrong, but you have to give me some compensation." Yan Buyu smiled slyly.
“Miss, just say it. As long as you can say it, I can do it. Murder and arson, I can do it all.” Mu Zi looked at her firmly. “And I will leave absolutely no trace.”
“Um…” Yan Buyu paused for a moment, “I don’t have that need at the moment.”
Mu Zi: "I'll beat someone up, break their arms and legs, leave them alive, and cripple them for life."
Without saying a word: "No need."
Mu Zi: "I'll give you all my money."
"..." Yan Buyu sighed helplessly, "No, from now on you will help me farm and sell eggs, and I won't give you extra money for your trouble. Just take good care of the game for me."
Mu Zi: "...Oh."
Dressed in all black, Mu Zi rode her motorcycle and disappeared into the night.
Yan returned to her room without a word and sent Song Jingyi a text message: "Jingyi-ge, Muzi went to beat up Acheng. She has to come to school with me tomorrow."
She's a bit protective of her own.
Although Acheng is fun and reliable, he shouldn't have treated Muzi like that.
Mu Zi is naturally introverted and doesn't like to talk about anything.
Even if she didn't notice Mu Zi's departure today, she could quickly call her back the next day and clear up the misunderstanding.
But Mu Zi would still be sad for a whole night.
They might even suffer from insomnia and cry.
Song Jingyi understood her unspoken meaning and replied immediately: 【She's tied up.】
He just chuckled silently, as long as Mu Zi didn't suffer any losses.
I'm going to take a shower and have a nice night's sleep.
For the next few days, Yan Buyu lived a very comfortable life.
At home I have my dear family, outside I have my good friends, and now I have an older brother.
Even when she's feeding the fish and sunbathing in the yard, she'll exclaim, "It's so good to be alive!"
On Friday, she received a call from Si Jingxu.
"Buyu, there's something I need to tell you." Si Jingxu's voice sounded very serious.
"Hmm? What's wrong?" Yan Buyu's heart sank; he didn't usually talk like this.
“My mother knows about your background,” Si Jingxu said. “Song Shuchen told her.”
"Ah, Song Shuchen," Yan Buyu almost forgot about her domineering CEO father, "Does Aunt Wen dislike me now?"
Si Jingxu was taken aback. "How could that be? My mother only dislikes Song Shuchen. She doesn't dislike you or Aunt Qingzhi. However, my mother wants to have a meal with you, but she's afraid you won't agree, so she asked me to ask."
"Oh, of course. Let's eat. You can ask Aunt Huiwen to choose a place, or we can go to your club. Or we can arrange tonight. We're going on a date tomorrow."
Si Jingxu was surprised by Xiao Yumo's quick and decisive response. He had expected her to be at a loss, conflicted, and upset.
“You don’t have to go if you don’t want to, but I just think you need to know about this,” Si Jingxu said. “My mom is reasonable. She will only feel sorry for you and will not think that you are bad.”
“I know, Brother Jingxu,” Yan Buyu said casually. “If one day in the future I suddenly find out that a junior next to me is Qin Nianke’s biological child, I’d like to meet him too.”
That's quite an apt analogy.
The venue was chosen to be Si Jingxu's private club, which was quiet and convenient for conversation.
Si Jingxu came to pick her up from school. After confirming that she was alright in the car, he breathed a sigh of relief. "Brother Jingxu underestimated you. My little feather has grown up."
“That’s right.” Yan Buyu was equally proud of himself.
They arrived at their destination quickly, where Ling Huiwen was already waiting at the entrance of the private room.
She said that she felt he looked familiar from the first meeting.
She had an inexplicable fondness for this child.
After all that fuss, it turns out this is her best friend's child.
Moreover, after listening to Song Shuchen's words, she suddenly remembered whose smile that felt familiar belonged to her.
Meng Qingzhi's biological mother, her silent maternal grandmother, and the late Ms. Qiu Wanyin.
She was a gentle and graceful woman from Jiangnan, kind-hearted yet with a steadfast heart.
“Mom.” Si Jingxu’s voice interrupted Ling Huiwen’s recollection.
"Aunt Huiwen." Yan Buyu approached and greeted her with a smile.
Ling Huiwen's eyes suddenly reddened. She clenched Yan Buyu's hands and looked at them again and again.
How could she not recognize a child who looked so much like Aunt Wanyin?
"My good child, you've suffered so much," Ling Huiwen said, her voice choked with sobs.
She knew everything; she understood that the only victim in the whole story was this adorable little girl in front of her.
"Aunt Huiwen, don't say that, I'm doing very well." Yan Buyu squeezed her slightly cold hand back. "Now that Brother Jingyi has found me, I feel very happy."
"Alright, Mom, let's go inside and talk." Si Jingxu was afraid that his mother would upset his girlfriend again and make her cry.
Ling Huiwen didn't even glance at her son, but held Yan Buyu's hand tightly and walked inside.
"Auntie, really, really... You look so much like your grandmother. I thought you looked familiar before, but I never thought of it. If it weren't for that bastard Song Shuchen, if it weren't for him, I wouldn't have remembered."
He smiled silently, head bowed.
Jingxu wasn't lying; Aunt Huiwen really hates Song Shuchen.
"Silent," Ling Huiwen gently stroked her cheek, filled with emotion, "Good child, thank goodness you survived."
Ling Huiwen used to disbelieve in fate, but now that she has seen Yan Buyu, she believes in it.
This child is destined for greatness.
Even after leaving the Song family, she remained the apple of their eye in the Shen family.
“Your maternal grandmother is a very gentle person. She speaks softly but with great strength,” Ling Huiwen said, holding Yan Buyu’s hand tightly. “You know what? My favorite food is the sweet osmanthus rice balls in fermented rice wine that your maternal grandmother makes.”
She lived in the south with her parents for a while, and Meng Qingzhi was her deskmate.
My parents are busy with work, and there's often no one to cook at home.
Meng Qingzhi then took her back to her home for a meal.
“Your grandma doesn’t mind me being a nuisance at all. She’s afraid I’ll miss home, so she’ll cook all sorts of Northern dishes for me. Sometimes when my parents work overtime and don’t come home on weekends, your grandma lets me stay at her house. She even does my laundry.”
During those two years, the gentle Qiu Wanyin did what her parents should have done.
Ling Huiwen recounted the events of decades ago with a faint smile.
