Chapter 705 Tan Tan is the same age as you [2 updates]
The girl looked up at the sound.
Now, her features became even clearer.
The sunlight bathed her face in a pale gold hue, and her eyes were clear and cool as water.
It's as if a flawless sculpture has opened its eyes, and beauty that has been dormant for a long time has awakened in this moment.
Su Wen stared blankly, her eyes suddenly darkening, and tears welling up in them.
Although it had been twenty-five years since she first met Lu Yuan.
But because she had been asleep for twenty years, their first meeting was five years ago.
Everything is still vivid in my mind.
In that instant, she seemed to see Lu Yuan walking towards her back then.
It's not that they look alike, but rather their eyes.
Ying Zijin was also taken aback.
She stepped forward and bent down to pick up the lunchbox.
But the next second, her hand was grabbed.
The woman's hands were icy cold, just like winter snow, chilling to the bone.
Ying Zijing paused, her hand still: "Auntie?"
"I'm sorry, I got too excited." Suwen wiped away her tears and smiled slightly. "I heard from Xiaoxinai that you've lived in China since you were little? Is that true?"
“Yes.” Ying Zijin said softly, “I was born in Shanghai, China. I was abducted when I was a child and never left China before I was seventeen.”
"I see," Suwen murmured. "Are your parents good to you? You're so beautiful and capable, they must really like you, right?"
Ying Zijing paused for a moment: "They don't like me."
Although she had no feelings for the Ying family.
But she also wondered why there were parents in this world who only cared about profit and treated their children as tools.
Suwen frowned, realizing that this was not a good question, so he did not ask any further.
She was still holding the girl's hand, paused for a moment, and then asked, "Are you 19 this year?"
Ying Zijin nodded slightly: "Mm."
"If Tan Tan were alive today, she'd be about your age." Su Wen finally released her grip and sighed softly. "I lost my composure a bit just now because of you..."
Ying Zijin knew what Suwen was thinking.
Because she and Suwen do look three or four parts alike.
Sinai said something similar when they first met.
Suwen shook her head slightly and smiled: "Your nickname is Yaoyao, right? I'll call you that from now on, it's such a nice name."
She squatted down, picked up the lunchbox, and handed it to her: "Yaoyao, there are three hundred pastries in here, dozens of flavors, enough for you to eat for a while. After I finish dealing with the Lenger family, I will come to the research institute more often."
Suwen spent the whole night making snacks yesterday.
This lunchbox uses a technology similar to a space-folding bag, which can store a lot of food.
It will not expire within fifty years.
Ying Zijing paused for a moment, then accepted the gift: "Thank you, Auntie."
"You're welcome," Suwen smiled. "Your experimental project is due at the end of the month, so go and get busy with your experiments."
She watched the girl leave before turning and leaving herself.
Suwen was somewhat absent-minded throughout the journey.
She returned to the Lenger family manor and ran into Mo Qian, who was running towards her.
"Sister-in-law, is Fifth Sister alright?" Mo Qian's anxiety was genuine. "I saw in the news that they only found the body of the miracle doctor, but not Fifth Sister's."
Suwen stopped and glanced at him indifferently: "Do you think there's anything wrong?"
Mo Qian didn't dare to breathe.
The explosion was so massive that even the legendary doctor was killed instantly.
Although no trace of Sinai was found at the scene, it is estimated that it was not good that he took it.
“Sister-in-law, Fifth Sister has suffered a lot over the years.” Mo Qian wiped his sweat. “I’ve tried to persuade her several times, telling her that the young lady is buried in the cemetery, but she still insists on going outside the city to look for her.”
"In the end, she still managed to bring back quite a few people, who really do resemble you and your elder brother."
Upon hearing this, Su Wen's expression hardened: "Do you have any photos? Let me see them."
Mo Qian dared not disobey and handed over all the photos he had collected over the past ten years.
These are all photos of girls around twenty years old.
Over the past decade, Sinai has searched repeatedly and has indeed found many suitable candidates in O continent.
Suwen looked at each of the two sheets of paper one by one.
The girl in each photo either looks like her or like Lu Yuan.
There are even people who look about 80% like her.
But none of them are.
Suwen fell silent and sighed.
Yes.
She buried Tan Tan herself, and she also carved the tombstone herself.
The dead cannot be brought back to life.
The City of the World and China are two places that are far apart.
What is she thinking?
Sinai didn't know this at the time, which is why she kept searching.
Yet, even she, as someone in the know, was indulging in wishful thinking.
Mo Qian carefully observed the woman's expression: "Sister-in-law, are you feeling unwell? The death of the miracle doctor was an accident, so please don't be too sad."
"I'm fine." Suwen slowly regained her senses and said calmly, "You can go now."
Mo Qian breathed a sigh of relief, but when he went out, his back was once again soaked with cold sweat.
At this moment, he begged Lu Yuan to come back quickly.
He felt less pressure facing Lu Yuan than he did facing Su Wen.
**
On the other side.
Ying Zijing returned to her dormitory with the lunchbox, opened it, took out a piece, and put it in her mouth.
The pastries are sweet, warm, and melt in your mouth without being greasy.
She didn't want to share the snacks with anyone else.
It wasn't because Suwen's skills were exceptionally superb, but simply because she didn't want to.
After eating a few pastries, Ying Zijin closed the lunchbox again and put it back on the shelf.
She logged onto W website, uploaded information about several pieces of equipment, and clicked on the auction.
We lost 3 billion yesterday, we need to earn it back as soon as possible.
Ying Zijing pondered for a moment, then went to the medicinal herb section and placed a large order.
Although Suwen had already woken up, her body had not suffered any major damage.
But it's good to take care of yourself a little more.
The phone rang at that moment.
[Sinai]: Ah Ying, I've arrived.
Just as this news arrived, there was a knocking sound at the window.
Sinai, who is 120cm tall, is wearing flight shoes and floating in the air.
Ying Zijing slapped her head and opened the window to let her in.
"Huh?" Sinai noticed the lunchbox on the shelf. "Did your sister-in-law bring you some snacks?"
Ying Zijing hummed in agreement.
"Ah Ying, I have a favor to ask." Sinai paused for a moment, "If you have time, could you spend more time with your sister-in-law before your elder brother returns?"
No matter how powerful Suwen was, she was still a woman at heart.
The death of her daughter at birth is something no mother can easily accept.
“Yes, you don’t need to tell me, I can do it too.” Ying Zijing didn’t refuse. She picked up the car keys with one hand and lifted Sinai up with the other. “Let’s go.”
Sinai: "..."
The thought of meeting an old man who wanted to dissect her at any moment made her feel uneasy.
Norton does not usually live in the Sage's Abode, but rather in a suburban villa outside the city center.
Ying Zijing got Norton's address from Xiu and drove all the way to the villa.
This villa is located by a lake, and there is also a small forest next to it.
It's a good place to do experiments.
"Wait a moment." Ying Zijing got out of the car. "Let me explain some precautions to him."
Sinai: "..."
She didn't really want to go.
Ying Zijing pushed open the door and entered, smelling a faint scent of alcohol.
The next second, with a "smash," a bottle came hurtling towards her.
The impact was extremely strong.
She narrowed her eyes, didn't flinch, and raised her hand to firmly grasp the wine bottle.
This is a bottle of whiskey.
The one Norton loves to drink.
Ying Zijing put down the wine bottle and said calmly, "I don't drink. You can keep it for yourself."
“Not bad, boss.” Norton came down the stairs with a smile. “I thought you were no longer as strong after your injury, but I didn’t expect you to be so good.”
Ying Zijin looked up: "I didn't know before that you were a sage."
“Being a sage isn’t all that great,” Norton said, unscrewing the bottle of wine. “I’d rather I hadn’t regained those memories and those powers.”
“I met with Xize a few days ago.” He took a sip of his drink and chuckled coldly. “Still that little brat, so annoying.”
Ying Zijing glanced at him: "You and him aren't that much different in age."
Two people with delusions of grandeur, yet they dare to compare themselves.
“Oh.” Norton shrugged. “I’m mentally older than him. He can act cute with you, but I can’t.”
"Hmm." Ying Zijing said calmly, "You only want to fight me or dissect me."
Norton raised his hand lazily: "I wouldn't dare."
"Enough with the nonsense, I've brought her here." Ying Zijing put one hand in her pocket. "I've already told you the situation. The alchemical drug caused another mutation in her body. See if you can make a complete antidote."
"Tsk, troublesome." Norton frowned. "Fine, bring him in."
A dozen seconds later, Sinai poked her little head in from the doorway: "Ah Ying."
Norton put down the bottle and slowly walked forward.
Sinai saw his face.
