Chapter 91 features organized crime!
Tu Chaoxi put his arm around her: "Don't run around, or you'll get lost."
Tu Yao said "Oh," and then said, "Brother, let's not leave for now."
"I'm not leaving,"
"Where will you stay?"
Tu Chaoxi laughed: "Yanjing is your brother's territory, your second brother's territory, are you still worried about not having a place to stay?"
Tu Yao thought for a moment and said, "Then let's stay at Second Brother's place."
Tu Chaoxi's face immediately fell: "Why aren't you staying at my place?"
Tu Yao sighed helplessly, "How long has it been since anyone lived in your house? It must stink!"
Tu Yao ran away as soon as she finished speaking.
Tu Chaoxi: ? ? ?
"Hey? Don't run away! You brat! What are you talking about? What do you mean 'your home'? That's your home too! Change what you're saying right now!"
Tu Yao ran and laughed, "Okay! My house!"
Nan Ke was stunned when he learned that Tu Yao and Tu Chaoxi planned to stay at his place.
Tu Yao asked him shyly, "Second Brother, is this okay?"
"certainly!"
Nan Ke's usually gentle expression once again revealed a hint of urgency in front of Tu Yao.
"That's your home too!"
Tu Yao chuckled: "Then I have three homes here!"
Nan Ke quickly sent an address and several passwords to Tu Yao's mobile phone.
“I’ll have someone clear out the master bedroom now, and you can move in. Brother, you’ll have to make do with the secondary bedroom on the south side.”
Then she looked at Tu Yao again and said softly, "I bought this house myself by selling my songs. It's not big, but it's your home too."
His relationship with his adoptive parents was more like a transaction; they were responsible for investing in him, and he, in turn, grew into the kind of successor they expected.
After his adoptive parents passed away, he couldn't bear to face that cold, lifeless house and moved out immediately.
But he was all alone, and even if he moved out, it would just be moving from one cold, impersonal place to another.
He never imagined that one day his family would live in that house.
"Okay, I'll take her there first, and I'll come back to see you later."
After Tu Chaoxi finished speaking, she pulled the person away. The door had just closed when it opened again.
Nan Ke was taken aback, and then he saw Tu Yao peek out and point to a bunch of flowers in front of his hospital bed: "Second brother, can I have half of these flowers?"
Nan Ke chuckled: "Of course, you can take them all if you like."
These flowers were a gift from Cormier's team and those two managers; they're not really useful just sitting here.
Tu Yao quickly ran in: "No need, no need, half is enough, you can keep the other half."
After saying that, she grabbed the flowers and ran off.
As the ward quieted down again, Nan Ke's smile gradually faded.
I'm starting to feel out of place again.
Nan Ke's house was not far from the hospital. It was a small house, but it seemed unusually spacious.
Tu Chaoxi couldn't help but sigh as she watched, and then she saw Tu Yao run into the living room with a "thump thump thump," bring out a vase, and put the flowers she had just taken from the hospital into it.
A brightly colored flower placed on an empty table instantly brings the whole house to life.
Tu Chaoxi was speechless. He roughly understood why Tu Yao had suggested staying at Nan Ke's house.
Two hours later, the brother and sister returned to the hospital with two lunchboxes.
Tu Yao patted Nan Ke's curly hair: "I made this with my eldest brother. Second brother, you have to finish it."
Nan Ke smiled and nodded: "Okay."
Tu Yao patted him with satisfaction. After a while, when the two weren't paying attention, she picked up another lunchbox, took two flowers with her, and sneaked out of the ward.
The door was gently closed, and Nan Ke and Tu Chaoxi immediately turned to look.
Nan Ke was somewhat puzzled.
Tu Chaoxi chuckled: "Never mind, she's too busy."
Tu Yao descended from the empty top floor to the first floor, passed through the dense crowd, and stopped at the door of a ward.
After a while, she peeked out and saw that there was a bunch of foxtail grass on the windowsill today, swaying in the wind.
On the hospital bed, the old man, wearing reading glasses, was flipping through a thick picture book.
Tu Yao looked at her for a while, hesitated for a few seconds, and then took a step and walked towards her.
...
"Grandma Lin, is this little girl your granddaughter?"
The patient in the next bed suddenly asked.
The old man was stunned. Granddaughter?
She slowly took off her reading glasses, looked up, and saw a girl standing right in front of her, holding a lunchbox, quietly looking at her as if she were looking at a familiar and respected elder.
Looking into her clear eyes, Grandma Lin couldn't help but smile and wave at her.
"Little girl, are you looking for me?"
Tu Yao's eyes reddened for a moment, and she quickly ran over.
But the closer she got, the more a sour feeling welled up in her throat and choked her.
Tu Yao opened her mouth, "I..."
Thinking of something, she quickly held up the lunchbox, "Are you hungry?"
The old man put down his book, seemingly unaware of her nervousness, and said with a smile, "Oh dear, it's almost lunchtime. I'm actually quite hungry now that you mention it."
Tu Yao's eyes lit up instantly, and she took a little closer. "Then...would you like to eat my food? I brought food to my second brother; I made too much!"
The old man smiled and said, "Thank you very much."
Tu Yao excitedly opened the table, put down the lunchbox, helped her rock the bed, and raised the pillows.
His movements were exceptionally skillful.
Tu Yao explained, "I used to take care of my grandmother."
As she spoke, she casually placed the two lilies she had brought into the plastic bottle containing foxtail grass.
The old man suddenly realized, "Oh, I see."
As Tu Yao bent down to open the lunchbox, he reached out and patted her head: "You're a good girl."
Tu Yao froze for a moment, then sniffed after a few seconds and smiled sheepishly: "My grandma used to praise me like that too."
The lunchbox contained the perfect amount of food. Tu Yao watched the elderly man slowly finish his meal before reluctantly leaving, taking the lunchbox with her as she went into the restroom.
Not long after Tu Yao left, a dark-skinned boy limped in.
There was a faded purplish-blue mark on the corner of his mouth, and an undisguised fierceness emanated from his brows.
However, the moment I stepped into the ward, I gradually became peaceful.
He said in a hoarse voice, "Grandma, dinner's ready."
He had barely finished speaking when he saw the red lilies in the plastic bottle, and his eyes narrowed.
The next second, the old man laughed and said, "I've already eaten."
“A young girl just cooked me a meal, and she brought these flowers too.”
A hint of wariness flashed in Lin Yue's eyes: "What little girl, cooking for you specially?"
The old man nodded with a smile: "Yes, a little girl, very pretty and well-behaved."
Although it was a lot of food, she could still tell that it was made especially for her.
As for why I cook for her specifically.
Perhaps it's because there's nowhere left to mourn the person you miss, and you think it's good to be able to find some peace here.
Lin Yue still frowned: "Grandma, don't be fooled by the fact that everyone here is a good person."
"But don't assume everyone is a bad person."
Lin Yue pursed his thin lips: "Anyway, you always have a reason."
Lin Yue quickly finished his rice and put away the lunchbox: "Grandma, Lin Jing will be coming over tonight, I'll come see you again tomorrow."
The old man looked at his limp and sighed unconsciously: "Xiao Yue, these are all worldly possessions, let them go."
"no."
Lin Yue walked away without looking back.
As he walked out of the hospital, he hadn't gone far when he seemed to see something. His eyes narrowed, and he quickly walked over and grabbed a middle-aged man walking towards him!
Then they dragged the person to the base of the wall.
"How dare you show your face here!"
The man, dressed in a suit and tie, instantly turned red in the face: "Let go! Let go now!"
"Why can't I come! That's my own mother! You, an outsider, have no right to come!"
The boy's fierce expression instantly flared, and he demanded in a hoarse voice, "Where is Grandma's painting!"
The man's face darkened: "You brat, what does this painting have to do with you! I'm her son, I have the right to do what I want with it!"
"If you stop me again, believe me, I'll break your other leg too!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the windowsill at the base of the wall suddenly opened with a "click".
The two of them froze simultaneously and subconsciously looked up.
Then a girl appeared, carrying a wet lunchbox, and glared at me with a furrowed brow.
"Break his leg?"
The two were still stunned.
Tu Yao gasped, "The underworld???"
The next second, he immediately turned around and shouted inside, "Help! There are gangsters!"
