He had just fastened his seatbelt when, in the next second, this beat-up little car that he hadn't paid any attention to flew off at an extremely fast speed.
He Ning'an was so frightened that she almost screamed.
"Auntie... please be careful."
Yu Lian's lips curled up slightly, "Little brother, I'm an experienced driver, don't worry, I'll definitely get you home safely."
After saying that, she focused on looking ahead and quickly took He Ning'an to his destination.
"See? Auntie wasn't lying to you, was she?"
She clapped her hands, then searched for the address He Ning'an had given her. "Is this it? Go ahead, I'll watch you get home and then I'll leave."
He Ning'an was still reeling from the shock she had just experienced.
"Auntie, you still need to pay attention to traffic rules next time and not drive too fast."
Yu Lian nodded and gave a perfunctory reply.
"Okay, little one, hurry up and go inside."
She then watched He Ning'an return home safely before opening the car door with satisfaction.
Just as we were getting ready to depart, we saw an elderly person and a child suddenly appear behind the vehicle.
She has excellent eyesight and recognized the old woman as her mother-in-law at a glance.
It had only been five years since I last saw my mother-in-law, Li Ying, and she looked much older with her full head of gray hair.
She was also holding a string of Buddhist prayer beads in her hand.
I thought my grandson had been picked up and taken to a party.
Just now, Li Ying came out of the Buddhist hall and saw her eldest grandson appear at the door with his schoolbag on his back. Her heart skipped a beat.
I only realized it after asking; everyone at home had forgotten about the child.
After finding out what had happened, Li Ying quickly came out, wanting the kind person to go home and sit down.
She immediately locked the car door and eagerly beckoned Yu Lian to get out through the glass.
Yu Lian adjusted the veil on her head, opened the door, and got out of the car.
"Hello, Auntie, you're too kind. I have to rush back now."
Since entering the Buddhist order, Li Ying has been practicing vegetarianism and chanting Buddhist scriptures, believing in karma and that good deeds will be rewarded.
They have an inexplicable enthusiasm for kind-hearted people.
Before Yu Lian could react, she had already entered the gate.
"Auntie, really, you don't need to."
Upon hearing her speak standard Mandarin, Li Ying became even more enthusiastic, as she hadn't found someone she could have a pleasant chat with in a long time.
"What should I call you?"
"Auntie... just call me Xiaoyue."
"Okay, okay, thank you so much, Xiaoyue. Wait for me to have someone make you some tea."
As she was speaking, the nanny appeared. "Excuse me, ma'am, I have to rush back to cook for my family. Please make yourself some tea."
Yu Lian could tell from the nanny's attitude that this person was not a kind person.
Logically speaking, one shouldn't treat their employer this way, with a hint of bossiness.
"Oh, I see. Then you should go quickly, don't let the child go hungry."
After saying that, the nanny brazenly took the exorbitantly priced fruit from the overturned fruit platter and stuffed it into her own pocket.
Li Ying saw it and wanted to say something, but in the end she said nothing.
Yu Lian saw all of this.
In the past, my mother-in-law would never have let herself be bullied like this.
"mom……"
"what?"
"I have to go soon, Auntie, you're too kind. It was just a small favor."
Li Ying insisted that she stay for a meal. She wouldn't let him leave no matter what, and even made He Ning'an do his homework while watching over her.
Yu Lian was forced to sit on the He family's sofa, feeling extremely uncomfortable.
In the blink of an eye, Li Ying changed her clothes, tied on an apron, and appeared in the kitchen.
It looks like it's been a long time since I've cooked; my movements are rusty.
After watching for a while, Yu Lian couldn't resist going over to help.
Li Ying knew she was too slow, so she didn't stand on ceremony and kept thanking them.
Three dishes and one soup, all vegetarian.
Yu Lian glanced at the dishes on the table, then at her mother-in-law, who looked so thin that her eyes were sunken, as if all her life force had been drained away.
Just as she was wondering what was going on, He Ning'an, who was doing her homework, called out from upstairs, "Auntie."
"Auntie!"
They called out as they walked upstairs.
"Auntie? Auntie? Why are you hiding inside again?"
Urged on by He Ning'an, Li Ying's complexion finally improved considerably.
There were only two adults and one child in the house, plus Yu Lian as a guest.
Yu Lian, who was still troubled, was filled with horror after seeing her sister-in-law, He Xinglan.
How did such a lovely girl end up like this?
Their clothes, makeup, and overall appearance made them look like they had just come out of a coal mine.
His clothes were tattered and covered in rivets, and his hair was like an afro.
He was carrying a camera when he went downstairs to eat.
If she wasn't certain she knew the person in front of her, she would definitely think it was just a resemblance.
"this……"
Yu Lian looked at her mother-in-law, Li Ying, with difficulty.
"Oh, don't be afraid of this child... Sigh, he says it's some foreign trend, but I don't understand it either."
Upon hearing this answer, she nodded thoughtfully.
"Everyone's here, let's eat."
At the dinner table, Li Ying introduced the person next to her to her daughter as the kind person who brought her grandson back.
He Xinglan nodded indifferently, fiddling with the camera even while eating.
After finishing their meal, Yu Lian said she was leaving.
Having finally escaped the He family's house, she turned to look at the distant sea and sighed deeply.
It's been confirmed; everyone in the He family is sick.
She was so shocked that she forgot even the thing she most wanted to figure out.
It seems I'll have to come here more often in the future.
Back home, Yu Lian couldn't wait to have someone investigate.
For a family as prominent as the He family in the entire city, investigating their internal affairs is virtually impossible.
Yu Lian went to great lengths to persuade the other party to agree to accept the investigation.
The next day.
Dragging her tired body, Yu Lian arrived at her work station. Just as she was about to slack off for a while, she heard someone shouting.
"Aunt?"
He Ning'an walked over and handed her the insulated box.
"Auntie, this is breakfast that Grandma asked me to give you so I can thank you."
"Thank you, Auntie, please accept this."
Although the young man didn't seem to care, he remembered it and knew that she worked here.
"Auntie, this is what our housekeeper usually makes. Please don't mind. I'm going to class now."
Just then, Yu Lian hadn't eaten breakfast, so this breakfast was a godsend.
I opened it, and it was filled with breakfast in two compartments.
She took a big gulp and spat it out before she could even savor it.
"Isn't this just pig swill?"
This stuff is somewhere between delicious and awful; "It's so awful!"
I remembered my son saying that this was what they usually eat for breakfast.
Yu Lian looked utterly hopeless; the whole family was sick.
She had a vague feeling that this matter was inextricably linked to her death, and even if it wasn't directly related, it had at least affected the He family.
So, in the afternoon.
When she appeared in her car, the expression in He Ning'an's eyes was completely different.
"Aunt!"
"Get in the car, nobody's picking you up again?"
He Ning'an did not hesitate this time and got into the car and left.
He knew that he preferred spending time with this plump aunt to that Aunt Wen.
