With every step she took, Yi Lan You could feel the pain in her ankle and the trembling in her knees.
The walls of the pavilion were covered with layer after layer of small advertisements, and a small piece of the wall that was occasionally emptied would turn yellow and black after the baptism of time. Yi Lan You could no longer see its original color, the choking smell of dust made her uncomfortable. From time to time, there would be spider webs floating around its body. It was extremely annoying.
Finally arriving at her own house, biting her lower lip, Yi Lan You raised her hand but did not have the courage to knock on the door.
What if there was no one inside the door?
What if it was a stranger who opened the door and told her that the original occupants had long since moved away?
If …
The more she hesitated, the more she found that her hand was unable to continue knocking. She gritted her teeth and made up her mind. No matter what, she had to confirm it with her own eyes. She couldn't give up even if she only had a 1% chance of success.
After knocking on the door three times, Yi Lan You withdrew her hand and waited.
Yi Lan You lowered her eyes. Was it after all too late?
Just then, the door opened with a "Ka" sound. Yuan Hui who was inside the door saw Yi Lan You who was about to turn around and leave, and opened her mouth: "Youyou?"
Pausing her steps, Yi Lan You turned her head to look at Yuan Hui. She opened her mouth and used all of her strength to say: "Mom, I'm back."
"Youyou,you are here,,''
"Right." Yi Lan You nodded and walked in.
"Youyou, your leg …" Yuan Hui was startled when she saw Yi Lan You walk in.
"I stepped on this when I went downstairs myself." Yi Lan You laughed awkwardly: "I accidentally fell down the stairs. I didn't fall too hard, so I twisted my leg and my right shoulder.
"Mom, don't be busy." Seeing Yuan Hui rushing in and out, Yi Lan You wanted to call her.
"No problem." Yuan Hui quickly heated up the dishes and placed them on the table again. Then, she supported Yi Lan You and helped her to sit at the table.
As soon as she raised her eyes, she saw that the dishes on the table were all her favorite. Moreover, with a glance, she could tell that they had not been touched. Yi Lan You felt that her nose was a little sore. In her previous life, her mother also sat down to eat her favorite dishes at the big table for her birthday, waiting for her to come back …
With great difficulty, Yi Lan You managed to suppress the urge to cry as she used her left hand to eat the hot food with a spoon.
Yuan Hui sat on the opposite side of the table and looked at Yi Lan You lovingly. "You seem to have grown a little bit more than when you left." Yuan Hui smiled and nodded, saying, "A fatter is better. A fatter is healthier. By the way, is your father nice to you? "
"It's pretty good." Yi Hao En had treated her pretty well, their bond was so much stronger than it was in her previous life.
"Oh." Yuan Hui nodded: "How are you doing there? You always wear quilts at night, so I can't look at you if you live there now. Be careful, don't catch a cold. "
"Right." Yi Lan You nodded. She remembered something, and asked: "Mother, did you not receive Dad's money?"
"Got it." Yuan Hui smiled in relief and then nodded her head.
"How many?" Yi Lan You felt that Yi Hao En should not be too stingy. After all, she still felt that Yi Hao En loved Yuan Hui.
"Five hundred thousand." Yuan Hui replied.
"Five hundred thousand?" "Then, Mommy, why haven't you changed your house?" Yi Lan You was a little confused. Although five hundred thousand was not enough to buy every house in the center of Z City, buying a single apartment wasn't a problem.
"If I leave, you won't be able to find me." Yuan Hui reached out and tucked the hair at the side of Yi Lan You's face behind her ears, making it easier for her to eat.
"..." As if she had been whipped a few times, Yi Lan You stared at Yuan Hui in a daze as tears uncontrollably flowed out of her eyes and down her face.
"What's wrong? Is it a foot pain? Or shoulder pain? " Yuan Hui saw that Yi Lan You was crying and was flustered.
Shaking her head, Yi Lan You wanted to tell Yuan Hui that she was fine but she could not say a single word, she just kept on crying.
Yuan Hui didn't know what to do, she could only hold Yi Lan You's hand and keep comforting her.
Self-reproach, shame, anger, and guilt filled her heart. In her previous life, Yuan Hui had always been waiting for her to come home with this kind of thought, all because she had a home to return to …
But her? In her previous life, she had been so selfish and cowardly. She had disappointed Yuan Hui time and time again. She had even thought of the scene of Yuan Hui sitting alone at the dining table, waiting for her to return home. In this life, she had been guessing at Yuan Hui's identity once again. Her actions were trampling on the person who loved her the most, but it just so happened that Yuan Hui was as tolerant of her as ever, and never gave up to her …
After crying for a long while, Yi Lan You finally stopped. She raised her head and looked at Yuan Hui with determination, "Mother, we will move away tomorrow."
"Tomorrow?" Yuan Hui was startled: "So urgent?"
"Right." Yi Lan You nodded her head, she would not let Yuan Hui stay here anymore. If it wasn't for the fact that the intermediary company had already finished their work, she would have had to drag Yuan Hui and move tonight.
"Fine." Yuan Hui nodded, she had saved some money too, so it was possible for her to rent a better house.
"What kind of house do you want to live in, Mom?" Yi Lan You thought of the house they had once chatted about: "They have elevators and flowers and plants downstairs, right?"
"Me …" Yuan Hui smiled in relief: "I want to find a house that's closer to City First Middle School. Since when did you think of me?
"..." Hearing Yuan Hui's words, Yi Lan You pursed her lips and nodded without a word.
"As for me, I just want to leave you a family. Although mom isn't rich, at least when your dad is suffering, you still have a family to return to." Yuan Hui said with a calm smile.
She swore that she would take back everything that should have belonged to the mother and daughter of the Yi Mansion. She would snatch everything back!
