216 I’m Waiting For You Outside
At this moment, Chu Cichen could no longer hear Chu Xiaomeng’s words.
His world suddenly became silent, and all his attention was drawn to the golden mask.
(518 is her! It is actually her!)
(She didn’t die…she is still alive!)
However, Chu Cichen had personally seen 518’s corpse…
In addition, although he had never seen 518’s true appearance, 518 had seen his face before…
So…what was going on with all of these?
Chu Cichen’s hands trembled and took off the mask from Chu Xiaomeng’s face.
Back then, after that explosion, he didn’t search for the mask because a mask made from this type of material basically wouldn’t be able to withstand the high temperature of the explosion. It would surely have melted.
But it actually wasn’t.
She didn’t die, so the mask was still fine…
Chu Cichen had no idea that his eyes were red at this moment, and his expression was so pale that it was frightening.
Chu Xiaomeng was badly scared by his appearance. She then stared dumbly at Chu Cichen and asked in a low voice, “Daddy?”
Hearing this, Chu Cichen finally regained a bit of his rationality.
He seemed to be reluctant to move his gaze away from the mask, but he still cast a glance at Chu Xiaomeng. “Xiaomeng, I…I have to head out for a while. Muscles will be here to accompany you. Is it okay?”
As he said this, he directly wore his coat and strode outside.
When Muscles saw him heading out, he called out, “Young master, you…”
“Take care of Xiaomeng,” Chu Cichen directly interrupted him.
Chu Xiaomeng also came out and stared at him endearingly. “Daddy, where are you going?”
“To look for your mommy.”
Chu Cichen directly started his car after saying this. The next moment, the car’s engine buzzed, and the car shot forward. This large Volkswagen appeared like a sports car with the way he was driving it.
Now, Chu Xiaomeng and Muscles were the only ones here. They stood in their original location and exchanged mutual glances.
Muscles then finished his sentence. “…But your attire isn’t complete!”
–
Yun Manor.
Everyone in the Yun Family lived here. However, Yun Zhengyang’s family lived in the main building, while those from the second and third house stayed in the smaller western-styled buildings behind.
With such a large family, logically speaking, after the previous head passed away, the family would definitely split. However, because the previous head was Yun Zhengyang’s aunt, in addition to the fact that none of the other elders passed away, the Yun Family didn’t split.
Each family had a large number of people and would usually eat by themselves at their homes.
However, tonight was different.
Because of Shen Qianhui’s arrival, Yun Zhengyang got the butler to notify each family. Hence, all three houses gathered at the main building for dinner.
Because each house had two to three kids, there were too many people and they ended up having to split into two tables.
The juniors would eat at one table, while the seniors would eat at the other.
Shen Ruojing brought Chu Tianye and Chu Yu down and just so coincidentally saw an old man in his seventies walking over.
This man had a headful of white hair, but you could see the spirit in his eyes.
The moment he entered, with a smile on his face, he spoke to Yun Zhengyang, “Son, I caught a large fish today. We can add it to the menu!”
Yun Zhengyang looked at his father.
Old Man Yun was a classic profligate.
When he was young, he engaged in all kinds of vices and was proficient in all things except making money.
This caused the elders to give the company to Yun Zhengyang’s aunt rather than to Old Man Yun.
Fortunately, he was pretty open-minded and simply spent his dividends every month, enjoying himself. Now that he was in his seventies, he was still in very good shape.
Yun Zhengyang laughed. “Father, this is probably a fish you bought, right?”
Old Man Yun’s face immediately turned red. He snorted. “What? I was the one who fished it!”
After speaking, he walked to the area beside Yun Zhengyang. “Son, I was almost infuriated to death today. I met a bunch of old men while I was fishing at the river, and they kept ridiculing me for not being able to fish anything. When you have the time, follow me and compete against them! We need to win!”
“…” Yun Zhengyang sighed and introduced Shen Qianhui and Jing Zhen to his father.
At this moment, Wen Yuyi took a step forward and supported Old Man Yun by his arm. “Granduncle, let me help you to your seat.”
The main table for the elders was set over there.
Shen Qianhui, Jing Zhen, Yun Zhengyang, Madam Yun, Mrs. Yun of the second house, her husband, Yun Zhengze of the third house, and his wife were all already seated there.
Hence, Wen Yuyi helped Old Man Yun to the main table.
There were ten chairs placed around a round table.
Old Man Yun loved a lively atmosphere and would often gather everyone for meals.
During such gatherings, because Yun Zhengyang wanted to show respect to his aunt, he would always get Wen Yuyi to sit at the main table. Hence, after she helped Old Man Yun to his seat, she glanced at the remaining seat.
Yun Zhengyang spoke out as expected, “There’s one more seat…”
Wen Yuyi’s lips curled.
There was another round table placed beside the main table.
The menu was the same for both tables, but any juniors who could be seated at the main table would take it as a form of recognition! This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
Hence, everyone wished to sit at the main table.
Sitting at that table, there were Yun Wei and Yun Yiheng from the first house, and Yun Lu and Yun Qing from the second house. As for the two children from the third house, they weren’t present today.
With the addition of Shen Ruojing, Chu Tianye, and Chu Yu, there were seven people at this table and three empty seats.
As the host, Yun Wei had to accompany Shen Ruojing, hence, she sat on Shen Ruojing’s left. After that, Chu Tianye was very boisterous and quickly ran to sit on Shen Ruojing’s right.
Chu Yu sat to Chu Tianye’s right, and there was another empty seat beside him. But he was frowning right now. He then turned to look at Chu Tianye, saying, “$1,000 to change seats with me?”
Chu Tianye. “$10,000.”
“Deal.”
After the two children finished their discussion, Chu Yu sat beside Shen Ruojing in satisfaction.
Yun Wei was smiling due to their antics. “This son of yours clings to you a lot.”
Chu Yu blushed slightly and spoke in embarrassment, “I…I…I…just don’t want to sit beside Aunt Wen.”
The two little fellows were naturally not afraid of Wen Yuyi, so Chu Yu was merely finding an excuse.
When Yun Wei heard this, her lips twitched. “She doesn’t care to eat at this table.”
Yun Lu’s eyes brightened as she added, “That’s right, Sis Yuyi would sit at the main table every time, and all the elders like her a lot. People on the outside always said that Sis Yuyi is the one with the most manners from our Yun Family…”
Yun Wei glared at her. “No one will think you are mute if you talk less!”
As the daughter of the Yun Family Leader, Yun Wei was then the eldest young miss of the Yun Family. However, Wen Yuyi had stolen all the limelight.
Yun Wei wasn’t a petty person and wouldn’t be jealous just because of this. However, Wen Yuyi kept deliberately targeting her and even failed to maintain her distance from Yun Wei’s fiance…
Yun Lu pouted. “Did I accidentally touch your sore spot? Even when your fiance was here, he only wanted to talk to Sis Yuyi. You should learn from her…”
Hearing this, Yun Wei was badly angered.
Just when she was about to vent her anger, Yun Zhengyang’s voice rang out. “…Jingjing, come and sit here! You should get close to the elders!”
Yun Wei. “?”
Even Yun Lu was stunned.
The group of them turned and looked at Wen Yuyi in unison.
A hint of astonishment flashed on her face, but when she noticed that everyone was watching her, she immediately revealed a smile. “Right, quickly come and sit here.”
She was composed as she walked over to join the juniors at the other table.
Shen Ruojing. “…”
She actually wanted to reject this, but after seeing the look of satisfaction on Yun Wei’s face, she hesitated and decided to walk over.
This meal was the most psychologically satisfying meal Yun Wei had eaten all these years!
Very soon, after everyone finished their meal, they went to the living room to chat.
At this moment, Shen Ruojing’s phone vibrated.
She then took out her phone and glanced at it. She discovered that Chu Cichen had sent her a text. “I’m outside, can you come out for a while?”
