Futuristic Chef Transmigrated As Mother

Chapter 374 - 374 Leave Together?

374 Leave Together?

Qin Xiaoguo took in her expression and regarded her with amusement, as if she were watching a performing clown. She spoke slowly and calmly,

“Oh right… someone had gone to great lengths, but she was knocked out and couldn’t even get close to her target…”

“You!!”

Yu Zhizhi was immediately reminded of this humiliating episode. She subconsciously pointed at Xiaoguo and started hurling profanities at her and also Zhuang Zhuang.

!!

Xiaoguo wasn’t prepared to let Yu Zhizhi off so easily. When she heard the woman insulting Zhuang Zhuang too, she immediately sneered. She wouldn’t be getting out of here alive today.

“You! What are you doing!”

Yu Zhizhi was in the midst of cursing when she was startled by Xiaoguo, who started walking towards her. Her eyes widened and her legs trembled uncontrollably. She subconsciously took a step back.

“What do I want? Huh…”

Xiaoguo approached her with a smile on her face. She only stopped when their faces were almost touching. “There are so many abandoned graves here. If there’s an additional pile, it’s not going to be obvious. Don’t you think so?”

“What… what do you mean?”

Yu Zhizhi thought that Xiaoguo might murder her, but she immediately dismissed the thought. She was sure that Xiaoguo wouldn’t dare to do such a thing!

Seeing her fearless expression, Xiaoguo said with a smile, “There are many traps in the mountains. It’s understandable if someone went missing without a reason, right?”

“Right!”

Xiao Zhu replied loudly from behind.

Yu Zhizhi was trembling all over, but she was not going to back down. Instead, she kept on provoking Xiaoguo.

“You always come to the mountains and pass by these graves. Aren’t you worried about the deceased coming to look for you after saying such disgusting words to their daughter?”

As Xiaoguo spoke, a gust of wind blew over. Yu Zhizhi trembled and her eyes darted uncontrollably to the grave of Xiao Zhu’s parents.

Xiao Zhu immediately knelt down and cried, “Father… Mother… You must help me… You have to help me take revenge on this woman for bullying and insulting me like this… Remember Yu Zhizhi, remember her face… Remember to look for her tonight…”

She thought that Yu Zhizhi would be afraid, but the woman continued to curse like a brainless person with a pale face.

Unable to take it anymore, Xiaoguo gave her an ultimatum. “Take a last look at this world.”

As she spoke, Xiaoguo calmly reached out her hand under the other party’s terrified gaze. With a cracking sound, Yu Zhizhi lost all signs of consciousness.

Xiao Zhu was stunned on the spot. She looked at the fallen figure and panicked. “Sister Xiaoguo, she, she, she…”

“She’s fine.” Xiaoguo sighed and turned around helplessly.

Xiao Zhu felt relieved when she heard that. She walked over and looked curiously at the woman who had fallen to the ground. She kicked her leg and realized that she wasn’t putting on an act. Feeling puzzled, she asked, “Then why did she collapse?”

Xiaoguo was also feeling very helpless about this. “She fainted from fright.”

Before she was able to do anything, the other party had fainted from fear. She had thought that Yu Zhizhi had an unyielding character, but it turned out that she was just putting on an act.

“… Then what about that cracking sound just now?”

“She must have broken her neck when she fell backwards…”

At this point, Xiaoguo felt even more helpless. It was the same thing all over again. She had been preparing for a long time to get back at her, but the other party had automatically gone offline without her having to do anything. It was truly insufferable.

She had wanted to knock her out with her palm, using the same tactic that Jiang Danhe had used on Yu Zhizhi. Then, she would drag her away and hang her on a tree. There were countless graves below. By the time she woke up, it would be night time. Combined with the terrifying atmosphere, it should be enough to scare her.

She didn’t expect Yu Zhizhi to be so sensible. She went offline on her own without having her to do anything.

“What about her?”

Xiao Zhu kicked her and asked with sparkling eyes.

“Just carry her out and leave her at the mountain pass.”

Xiaoguo gave it some thought and couldn’t bear to leave the woman here. If anything happened during the night, the consequences could be dire. After all, no matter how annoying the other party was, she was still a young girl. No matter how sharp her tongue was, she didn’t deserve to be treated like this.

“Alright…”

Although Xiao Zhu hated Yu Zhizhi, she was not a cruel person at heart. She would feel bad if the woman was left here in the middle of the mountains. It seemed like a good idea to leave her at the mountain pass. There was more human traffic there, so at least she was not left alone in a desolate place. On top of that, her broken neck was not a serious issue. Her father is a physician, so she can receive treatment at home.

Xiaoguo supported Yu Zhizhi’s upper body and carefully held her neck to prevent further injuries. Xiao Zhu picked up Yu Zhizhi’s legs and panted heavily as she walked.

“She’s so heavy. She looks so skinny. I didn’t expect her to be this heavy.”

“Watch where you’re going.”

“Okay…”

Xiao Zhu obediently shut her mouth and tried her best to walk down the mountains with Yu Zhizhi’s legs in her hands.

The two of them had not forgotten about the medicinal basket that belonged to Yu Zhizhi. They brought it down together with them.

When they finally reached the foot of the mountain, Xiaoguo and Xiao Zhu found a shady spot and put the woman down.

Xiaoguo lowered the basket on her shoulder and placed it beside Yu Zhizhi. After dusting off the dirt on her hands, she said to Xiao Zhu, “Let’s go back.”

“Yes, yes, okay.”

Before leaving, Xiao Zhu ran back and gave Yu Zhizhi another kick. Seeing that the woman was still dead to the world, she snorted and chased after Xiaoguo.

In the evening, they heard a commotion outside.

Before the few people in the house could go out to check, Xiao Zhu, who had just returned from picking up dinner, snickered at Xiaoguo. She even winked at her when the rest were not paying attention.

This time, Xiaoguo knew what had happened. She chuckled to herself and took the tray from Xiao Zhu’s hands without a sound. It seemed that Yu Zhizhi had been discovered.

Yu Ling had gone out to pick up dinner. As soon as she entered the house, she began to share with everyone what she had heard and seen.

Xiaoguo listened to her vivid description and smiled to herself. When she met Xiao Zhu’s eyes, the amusement in their eyes could not be concealed.

At the dining table, the only two people who knew the inside story did not say anything. It was not because they were afraid that they would leak the news, but because this matter really had nothing to do with them.

Yu Zhizhi must have twisted her neck and fainted. It had nothing to do with them.

...

If one were to insist that they were involved, then they had only done a good deed and dragged Yu Zhizhi to a less secluded place so that she wouldn’t lay unconscious in the mountains.

When it was time to rest at night, Xiao Zhu insisted on sleeping with Xiaoguo. When Yu Ling saw this, she wanted to join them too, but the beds in the attic were limited and could not accommodate four people. Hence, she could only give up regretfully. However, she decided to play with them for a while longer before going to bed.

Hence, Yu Ling happily followed them up the stairs. Zhao Yuyan looked at her back and chuckled. She shook her head helplessly and returned to the house alone with the candle.

During the day, Xiao Zhu had already changed the bed sheets and pillowcases to clean ones in her room just so that she could sleep with Xiaoguo.

The four of them lay comfortably on the small bed and looked at the night view outside the window. They sighed in unison.

“Sister Xiaoguo?”

“Yes?”

“Are you leaving tomorrow?”

Xiaoguo remained silent for a moment. “The plan is to set off tomorrow morning after combing the beach.”

Xiao Zhu’s eyes were dim. After hearing this, she nodded silently.

“But I’ve decided to leave the day after tomorrow.”

...

As soon as Xiaoguo finished speaking, Xiao Zhu exclaimed happily, “This is awesome!”

Her voice was so loud that it startled Yu Ling and Zhuang Zhuang.

“Are you so happy that I’m leaving one day later?”

Xiaoguo patted Zhuang Zhuang, who was burrowing into her arms, and smiled at Xiao Zhu.

Xiao Zhu nodded instinctively, but then she realized that it was too dark to see anything clearly, so she said loudly instead, “I’m so happy!”

Xiaoguo and Yu Ling couldn’t help but laugh when they heard her sincere words.

“Sister Xiaoguo, can you visit me more often in the future?” Then, feeling that it didn’t sound right, she immediately added, “Or can I visit you?”

After remaining silent for a while, Xiaoguo spoke up just as Xiao Zhu was about to become disappointed.

“Xiao Zhu, do you want to leave with me?”
