Even as a "normie," I'm completely oblivious to it.

After completing this step, Yang Qiuyun opened her eyes and gasped.

Oh no, it looks like we're going to lose if we keep playing like this.

"Xiao Yuzhe, I want to take back my move!"

"Can't you save some face for yourself in front of your child... No take-backs allowed, continue, rook to the eighth rank."

"Isn't that cheating... Fine, then, advance the pawn to the third rank..."

Who's trying to cheat here?! You want to take back your move and you think you're in the right?!

A few more minutes passed, and Yu Zhe slowly opened his eyes.

And finally, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Cannon six advances one."

Yang Qiuyun was different. She frowned and looked quite unconvinced: "Xiao Yuzhe, how about we go back ten rounds?"

"Oh no, hurry up and go, it's your turn."

"Sigh... fine, what can I do? I'm your mother, so I'll just level 5 to 6."

Why are you making it sound like I'm cheating? It's clearly you who's always thinking about taking back your moves!

"Rook retreats one step, checkmate, the game is over."

After saying this, Yu Zhe let out a long breath.

Don't be fooled by the victory; it wasn't an easy win. Mom only made one mistake from start to finish, and she realized it immediately after placing the bet. Otherwise, it would have taken a very long time.

Yang Qiuyun was furious about losing the game: "Best of three! Xiao Yuzhe, let's go again! I really don't believe it."

Goodness, when they were little, Yang Qiuyun actually let Yu Zhe have his way a bit because he was younger, but just now she didn't hold back at all!

Having been pampered since childhood, Yang Qiuyun had never experienced such a failure, and all she could think about was how to cheat.

Of course, there is an even more important idea, which is to spend more time playing chess with Yu Zhe and try to make up for the lack of companionship over the years.

"Okay, let's do another round."

Even though Yu Zhe's tone was calm, he was very satisfied.

Just an hour ago, being able to talk to my mother face-to-face like this was a long-cherished wish hidden deep in my heart.

Of course, after another game, Yu Zhe still won by a narrow margin.

“Xiao Yuzhe…” Yang Qiuyun was truly exasperated this time. “Is your brain even human? How did I give birth to such a freak?”

"Keep insulting me!" Yu Zhe retorted. "Besides, you have no right to talk about me like that. If you weren't so clueless, would I be so clueless? It's hereditary!"

"Alright, alright, let's play one more round! Next round I'll..."

"Lady Qiuyun, that's enough. Although it might be a bit inappropriate to say this, we have to go now."

Lin Yin reminded her again.

When Yang Qiuyun said it was best two out of three, Lin Yin wanted to stop her, but seeing Yu Zhe's undisguised smile, Lin Yin couldn't bear it and let them play an extra game.

But staying any longer would easily lead to problems.

"That's true..."

Yang Qiuyun sighed softly, put her hood back on, covering her stunning beauty and her silver hair.

"Well, Yu Zhe, Yu Che, Zi Xiao, I'll be going now. We'll meet again someday, so don't be too sad, okay?"

"No, no, no, you should go now. I have to go to the company to take care of things." Yu Zhe said nonchalantly.

"What? Why should I be sad? I'm still waiting for the day I can openly arrest you and settle the score for my brother." Yu Che was even more nonchalant.

"Um... I'm fine... Mom, please be careful on the road." Zixiao was still a little concerned, but what she said left Yang Qiuyun speechless.

"..."

You three are truly my good children!

This is all it takes for a touching reunion after years apart?!

Well... Yang Qiuyun also knew that everyone was relieved just because they knew she was still alive and well and that they would be able to officially meet her soon.

49. Her real name is Mo Lingyun.

That's all for now.

Yang Qiuyun followed behind Lin Yin and turned to walk to a car.

Yu Zhe could see that these were Su family vehicles, but where her mother was going to "hide" next was beyond her knowledge.

Just as she got into the car, before she even closed the back door, Yang Qiuyun suddenly remembered something that was rather important.

She closed the car door, rolled down the window, and said, "Yu Zhe, your childhood sweetheart is back, did you know that?"

"Childhood sweethearts?"

Yu Zhe's first thought was Sister Ye, but... Mom probably wasn't referring to her, since if she were talking about Sister Ye, she shouldn't have used the word "come back".

Could it be...?

It was obviously about Mo Lingyun. Yu Che originally wanted to keep this a secret, but good grief, you just blurted it out in a few words.

And how did you know that?

Regardless of the circumstances, Yu Che was extremely dissatisfied with her mother's rash decision to reveal the matter.

Because that might not necessarily have any consequences.

She clenched her small fists and shouted, "Why do you talk so much, woman?! Are you done talking? Then hurry up and leave! Is there really nothing you can't control?!"

"Waaaah, Xiao Yuche actually called me 'you woman'..."

She was about to complain a bit, but when she saw Yu Che's truly angry eyes, she quickly patted Lin Yin's shoulder from the back seat.

"Xiao Yin, let's go quickly, Xiao Yuche seems really angry!"

Don't say anything else, just get out of here.

Lin Yin sighed, "Lady Qiuyun, how come you're even afraid of your own child now..."

"Never mind that, let's go, let's go."

Can't you see how "filial" my children are now? So filial that Yang Qiuyun wouldn't be surprised if she felt she was about to get a beating.

Upon receiving the instruction, Lin Yin rolled down the car window, waved to Yu Zhe, and stepped on the gas, driving towards the parking lot exit.

"So what is she doing here...?"

Yu Che shook his head speechlessly, then turned around and found that Zi Xiao was already looking at Yu Zhe with concern.

After Yang Qiuyun mentioned that matter, Yu Zhe began to ponder.

Yu Che felt that she could try to fight back a little longer: "Haha... Brother, you don't need to listen to her nonsense. You know her. She says whatever comes to mind. She's probably just talking nonsense again."

"No, Yu Che, let me think about it."

Yu Zhe muttered to himself only after Yang Qiuyun's car disappeared at the parking lot exit.

"Childhood sweetheart...you can't be referring to her, can you...?"

Oh well, my brother found out after all...

Zixiao asked in confusion, "Brother knows what Mom is talking about, right?"

"I guess I know... If she's not lying, then she must be referring to that person. But to find out the truth, we'll have to ask this young lady."

After saying that, Yu Zhe turned to Yu Che and said, "Well, Miss Yu Che, judging from your reaction just now, you should know everything."

"So, can you be honest with me?"

"Oh, this..."

Brother, is that expression suggesting I confess? It's practically saying, "Confess and you'll be treated leniently, resist and you'll be punished severely."

Now that things have come to this point, there seems to be no need to hide anything anymore.

Yu Che had no choice but to admit, "Sigh...yes, just like you guessed, your childhood sweetheart has indeed come back."

Upon hearing the words "childhood sweethearts," Zixiao felt a moment of disorientation.

Where is this girl from? How come another one suddenly appeared?

Don't ask, any girl my brother knows is definitely a beautiful and extremely threatening vixen!

Yu Che could tell what Zi Xiao was thinking from her conflicted expression. However, this time Zi Xiao really didn't recognize the guy from the Mo family. When she met her brother, Zi Xiao hadn't even come to the Su family yet.

Upon hearing Yu Che's admission, Yu Zhe nodded and said, "Hmm... As expected, Yun'er is back. This is truly unexpected."

"Yes, yes, yes, that woman, the one from the Mo family... Eh? Yun'er?"

Yu Che felt something was off. Wasn't that guy called Mo Lingyun?

When her brother used to mention her, he always called her "Yun'er". Yun is the second tone and Yun is the fourth tone. Yu Che could still tell the difference.

Yu Zhe explained, "You heard right, and you understood right. It's Yun'er. Mo Lingyun is actually the name I used to cover her identity. Her real name is Mo Lingyun."

Yu Zhe even took out his phone and typed out those two words for Yu Che and Zi Xiao to see.

"But why?" Yu Che didn't understand. "Is there any point in changing such a word?"

"That's a long story..."

Yu Zhe sighed and said, "In short, back then we tried every means to keep her away from the Mo family so that they couldn't find her. So we definitely can't use her original name anymore. Even if we only change one character, the Mo family will be completely wrong in finding her."

"Oh, I see..."

It's not that Yu Che didn't know; she never knew Mo Lingyun's full name since she was little. Back then, because she disliked her, Yu Che always referred to her as "that person from the Mo family."

It wasn't until she disappeared that Yu Che learned the name "Mo Lingyun" from Yu Zhe, when in fact it should have been "Mo Lingyun".

Actually, if Yu Zhe recalls the details, her fake name was arranged by her mother. Yang Qiuyun's name has the character "Yun" in it, so because of the homonym, it was directly changed to Mo Lingyun. Well, that's not very important.

"Yu Che, you've already met Yun'er, haven't you?"

If you haven't seen it before, then your previous reaction shouldn't be like that.

Yu Che nodded: "Yes, I've seen him. I was just worried that letting my brother know about this would have a negative impact on you, so I..."

The more I talk about it, the more aggrieved I feel.

Yu Zhe gently patted her head twice: "It's okay, I know you well enough. I should be thanking you. But do you know where she is now? I need to tell her something first."
