Chapter 299 Lost, Found, and Lost Again
Tu Yao: ?
Tu Yao pointed to her phone and asked again, "Someone asked me if I've become an expert on button mushrooms."
"Why?"
Her response was still silence.
Across from the field of herbs, almost everyone was speechless, unsure how to respond.
Only Xu Bai's eyes lit up.
Four years after Tu Yao disappeared, he worked incredibly hard, transforming himself and expanding the mushroom farm she left behind into a place where everyone was growing mushrooms.
Crane Village has become much better, and the people of Crane Village are living better lives than before.
Xu Bai had so much to say, so he excitedly raised his hand, "Big sister, I know!"
"Let me tell you, in our village..."
"Tu Xiaomao, can you give me Qin Lang's contact information?"
Before he could finish speaking, Tu Chaoxi suddenly spoke up from the other side.
Tu Yao asked, puzzled, "Huh?"
He chuckled casually: "He needs a lawyer, I'll arrange that."
Tu Yao nodded: "...Oh."
She quickly sent Qin Lang's number to Tu Chaoxi.
This interruption caused Xu Bai to catch a few words he was about to say, but Cheng Sangsang pulled him back.
Xu Bai had no choice but to swallow his words.
Tu Chaoxi confirmed it again, then looked up and assured her, "Your friend will definitely be out in two days at the latest."
Tu Yao nodded: "Okay."
Tu Chaoxi approached and rubbed her face, which was cold from the wind. "Go home and get some sleep after work. Don't overwork yourself. Take care of your health."
Tu Yao looked at him and said, "...Okay."
Tu Chaoxi continued to look at her. After a while, she slightly raised her eyes and looked around the entire TCM clinic.
Looking at the lush and thriving cultivation of herbs, he couldn't help but chuckle.
His sister, no matter which world she was in, remained devoted to the land.
A night breeze blew by, carrying the scent of herbs straight to my nose.
At that moment, Tu Chaoxi suddenly felt that nothing else mattered.
Growing button mushrooms and growing herbs seem to make Tu Yao happy in the same way.
They have grown to the point where they can easily solve any problem, and protecting the welfare home makes Tu Yao feel more at ease.
He let out a deep breath, as if relieved of a great burden, or as if suddenly enlightened.
"...Tu Xiaomao, boldly do what you want to do, do whatever you want, don't be afraid, don't panic."
"You don't need to think about anyone else, your happiness is the most important thing, okay?"
Tu Yao tilted her head back, her eyes flashing.
Tu Chaoxi knew she understood.
His sister has always been very smart, so smart that she understood their compromise without them having to explicitly state the suffocating choice.
Tu Chaoxi laughed again, gave her head a hard ruffle, and turned to leave.
Tu Yao stood there, the warmth from the rubbing on her face still lingering. Realizing what had happened, she quickly chased after him.
The car was already running at the entrance.
Tu Yao stopped and watched the van drive into the night.
...
The figure in the rearview mirror grew smaller and smaller. Nan Ke: "Brother."
Have you made a decision?
Tu Chaoxi closed her eyes: "It's a complete decision."
Nan Ke nodded slightly, then turned her head. Behind the car, Cheng Sangsang and Xu Bai both looked over.
Nan Ke said calmly, "Xu Bai, don't mention Crane Village to Tu Xiaomao."
"Don't mention seeing her when you get back to Crane Village."
"Find someone to remove those trending topics as soon as possible."
Xu Bai was puzzled: "...Why?"
Nan Ke lowered his eyes and sat back down.
Perhaps for someone destined to leave, everything and everyone that she can cherish becomes a heavy psychological burden, so it's better to know nothing at all.
But losing something, regaining it, and then losing it again is something not everyone can bear.
"Just do as instructed."
Xu Bai didn't understand and quickly looked at Cheng Sangsang.
Cheng Sangsang bit her lip, remaining silent.
...
The next morning, Tu Chaoxi's lawyer approached Qi Kai's parents. Under the pressure of public opinion and the fear of being accused, the couple couldn't take it anymore and immediately slunk to the police station to drop the case.
Qin Lang was completely stunned when he came out.
The lawyer handed over several documents and briefly explained the current situation.
In short, he not only doesn't have to take responsibility or pay Qi Kai's medical expenses, but he has also truly severed ties with that family in a legal sense.
I no longer have to worry about that couple using their obligation to support their parents to extort money.
Chu Yun was also stunned, and slowly looked at the girl beside him.
"...Tu Yao".
"Tu Chaoxi...is your brother?"
Tu Yao raised her head, her eyes filled with dark circles.
"Ah...yes."
"What’s wrong with you?"
Tu Yao opened her mouth and looked at Chu Yun.
"...I just didn't sleep well."
Chu Yun asked in confusion, "Why didn't you sleep well? Don't you always fall asleep the moment your head hits the pillow?"
Tu Yao was speechless, her eyes looking somewhat blank.
...She didn't know either.
She understood what Tu Chaoxi meant last night; she and her three brothers had reached a tacit understanding.
They respected her choice.
She should be happy.
But she couldn't sleep at all last night.
Tu Yao snapped out of her daze and shrugged lightly, feigning nonchalance. "I'll just go back and catch up on some sleep."
If you can't figure something out, then don't think about it anymore.
She started walking back as she spoke, but had only taken two steps.
"Tu Yao!" The police chased after her.
"Tu Yao, right? There's been progress on Zhao Yuanfeng's matter last time. Let me tell you about it."
"The evidence against him is sufficient, and we will file a lawsuit against him."
Tu Yao: "...So fast? I only submitted the recording. His company's audit isn't finished yet, is there any other evidence?"
Police officer: "Your brothers have been keeping an eye on the progress and have added more financial evidence to the recordings."
Tu Yao suddenly looked up.
The police officer continued, "Also, you mentioned before that you have a will, right? According to the will, there are no financial disputes between you and Zhao Yuanfeng."
"If you encounter any trouble in the future, call the police without hesitation. Don't act with that same person again, understand?"
Tu Yao nodded subconsciously.
After the police left, Chu Yun and Qin Lang both breathed a sigh of relief. When they turned around, Tu Yao looked even more bewildered.
Chu Yun was taken aback: "What's wrong with you?"
Isn't this a good thing? Tu Yao doesn't seem very happy.
Tu Yao: "...Me."
Just as I was about to say something, my phone rang again.
The caller ID showed it was from the property registration center.
As soon as the call connected, I heard the staff member on the other end say, "Is this Tu Yao? All the fees for the transfer have been paid. Please come and complete the procedures as soon as possible."
"……good."
"Also, this shows that there was an extra payment that cannot be refunded to the original account. Do you have any other bank cards? I'll process the refund for you."
Tu Yao slowly handed over her bank card details.
After hanging up the phone, Tu Yao gripped her phone tightly, remaining silent.
Chu Yun and Qin Lang exchanged a glance, now they were absolutely certain that Tu Yao was unhappy.
"Was it also done by your brother?"
Tu Yao lowered her eyes and nodded.
Chu Yun frowned. "Tu Yao, what's wrong with you?"
After a moment of silence, she asked, "...Is your brother planning to take you away, and you don't want to go?"
Tu Yao immediately looked up: "No."
Chu Yun frowned even more deeply and turned to Qin Lang: "Go back."
He grabbed Tu Yao again: "Come with me."
