The more Lu Yumo talked about the Xu Family, the sadder he became and the more he felt he was not being a good grandson.
He had a good life in Yu City, but his grandpa and grandma had to sweep the streets on winter nights to make a living.
Lu Yumo pulled his phone out and sent a red packet containing 200 yuan to his grandpa and grandma on WeChat.
It was not much, but at the very least he’d earned the money himself. Master Xu was free today, so he saw Lu Yumo’s red packet. He felt touched but did not take it seriously.
After all, he was certain that there was not much money in the red packet. He rejected the red packet and then asked if Xu Wei and Fu Zhi were around or not. He wanted to see them.
Lu Yumo thought his grandpa did not want the red packet because he was too embarrassed to take it. Therefore, he insisted. [Grandpa, Mr. Lu Xun once said that there are three ways to be unfilial, and not giving our elders money to spend is the greatest of them all.]
Grandpa: […]
‘Are you sure it was Lu Xun who said that and not Mencius?’
Fu Zhi was in the restroom, so grandpa did not get to see her. He did not want Lu Yumo’s money, so he transferred 200,000 yuan to his grandson.
Lu Yumo: [Grandpa! Didn’t I already tell you that I can’t take your money? This money is for you to buy a coffin for yourself after you pass away! I can’t take it!]
Grandpa: [Listen, take the money and go to the hospital to have a CT brain scan. If your condition is too serious, give the money to the hospital and talk to the doctors nicely. Tell them not to give up on you. If they still refuse to treat you, let me know and I’ll give you more money.]
Lu Yumo did not know whether he should cry or not.
‘Grandpa, you’ve changed!’
——
On the other hand, after Fu Zhi came out of the restroom, she bumped into someone.
“Fu Zhi? What are you doing here?” Mu Chenxi asked. Ouyang Ya, who was standing beside her, pulled her eyebrows in a tight frown when she saw Fu Zhi.
This ski resort had been one of the most famous entertainment venues in Yu City ever since its establishment. Ever since Mu Chenxi had promised Ouyang Ya that she would help her look for the owner of the Taobao shop, their “friendship” had grown.
She had brought Ouyang Ya there to inform her of the progress. However, she had never thought that she would bump into Fu Zhi and her gang there.
People always said that when two enemies met, their eyes would blaze red with hatred. Right now, Mu Chenxi felt as if she had just swallowed a fly. She felt revolted and angry.
Fu Zhi took a paper towel to wipe her hand. She looked at Mu Chenxi expressionlessly but did not say a word, causing Mu Chenxi to get even angrier.
After going through so many things, Mu Chenxi had found out that she was like Fu Zhi’s god of fortune. Whenever she planned something against Fu Zhi, Fu Zhi would always be able to turn the tables and gain benefits. Therefore, she did not really want to stay in the same space as her.
She took two steps forward, suppressed the urge to puke, and said, “We made a reservation at this restaurant a long time ago. Did you hear about it somewhere else and purposely choose to come today to disgust me?”
After all, everyone wanted to take their families there to enjoy the resort because it was new. Mu Chenxi remembered that by the time her mother had made a reservation, all the slots had been booked and they’d had to wait until after the Chinese New Year. Thus, Mu Chenxi was certain that Fu Zhi had purposely followed Wu Zhiyou there to cause them trouble, just like she’d brought Guang Yuan to cause her trouble at the coffee shop last time.
The more Mu Chenxi thought about it, the more she felt that this was the truth.
Fu Zhi tried to get away from Mu Chenxi, but the latter did not give her the chance to do so. She blocked her with her body and kept showering her with all sorts of nasty comments.
The face of the girl at the front desk became colder and darker with each passing second. She then took her machete out and began sharpening it.
She stroked the machete in her hand and mumbled, “It seems like today is the day you’ll be back in the game, my old friend.”
With the machete in her hand, the girl marched up to Mu Chenxi.
Fu Zhi did not notice the girl at all.
Ouyang Ya, who was standing aside, patted Mu Chenxi’s shoulder and said, “Alright, let’s just stop here. We still have a lot of things to discuss.”
“How can I just stop here? We have to discuss something very important, and they are sitting really close to us. What if she eavesdrops on our conversation? What if she tries to ruin our plan again? She’s done it plenty of times.”
After saying that, Mu Chenxi turned back to Fu Zhi and commanded impatiently, “Go eat somewhere else. I don’t care which restaurant you go to, but the two of us can’t stay in the same place. Besides, it’s noon right now, and I don’t want to argue with you.”
Wu Zhiheng remembered Wu Zhiyou saying that it was because of Fu Zhi that they had been able to get into the restaurant. He did not want to lose face in front of Ouyang Ya, so he did not tell them about it. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, he stepped forward and hurriedly said, “It’s alright. I thought you said you were starving, right? Why don’t we sit and eat together?”
“No. What if she overhears our conversation and gets some crucial information that she isn’t supposed to know?”
“Chenxi is right. Aren’t you going to be discussing the study plan for the exam with them today?” Ouyang Ya said as she glanced at Wu Zhiheng.
Although the restaurant was big, there were only six tables set up in the hall. Most of the tables were occupied by other customers, so it would be a lot of trouble to change tables right now.
“Yes, but…” Just as Wu Zhiheng was about to say something else, Fu Zhi threw the paper towel into the dustbin, turned around, and prepared to leave.
They were too noisy, and she was not in the mood to explain this to them. She had to go back to her table to eat her favorite sweet and sour pork ribs.
Wu Zhiheng did not know what to do. Mu Chenxi threw him an assuring glance and pulled some cash out of her pocket.
“I think this should be more than enough to pay for your meal. Please don’t do something like this again. It disgusts me!”
After saying that, she threw the cash to Fu Zhi.
Fu Zhi’s face sank, and she turned her head around to stare at Mu Chenxi.
Honestly, Fu Zhi would not have come to this restaurant if she had known that Mu Chenxi would come today.
Looking at Mu Chenxi’s mouth, which kept opening and closing nonstop, Fu Zhi squinted her eyes and sneered. A second later, she grabbed her jaw with immense force and pulled it down, dislocating it in the process.
Silence finally filled the world again.
Just like the reactions caused by the successful docking of the Shenzhou-8 spacecraft and Tiangong-1, which was recorded in history books, Mu Chenxi’s face was filled with panic and bewilderment as saliva dripped from the corner of her lips.
“You’re too noisy,” Fu Zhi said as she walked past Mu Chenxi.
The girl with the machete came to a stop midway. She subconsciously touched her jaw and her old buddy and mumbled, “Wow. That was so cool!”
