Chapter 5 Performance

  • "Let's go..."
  • Glancing at the nameless tombstone one last time, Huo Ciyi suddenly spoke.
  • Ling Haoze cautiously glanced at Huo Ciyi's expression and whispered, "Brother Yi, Miss Yan is back. Mr. Mu said..."
  • Before Ling Haoze could finish his sentence, he keenly felt the atmosphere around him suddenly drop. Despite the scorching weather, Ling Haoze couldn't help but shiver.
  • "Hmph..." Huo Ciyi let out a cold snort, a mocking smile forming at the corner of his mouth. "Miss Yan? Is she even worthy?"
  • Mu Yuyan from the Mu family was once the pearl of the entire upper class society in the eastern district.
  • Not only was she cherished by the Mu family, but she also received unlimited favor from Huo Ciyi.
  • But all of this came to an abrupt end five years ago...
  • Five years ago, Huo Ciyi was framed and had a one-night stand with a stranger. When the incident was exposed, Mu Yuyan left in anger and mysteriously disappeared.
  • Although she was later found by the Mu family, Mu Yuyan had lost all her memories and was dressed in tattered clothes, becoming a laughingstock in the upper-class circle...
  • After the Mu family used iron-fisted methods to intimidate several prominent families in the eastern district, the rumors were finally suppressed.
  • This incident became not only a taboo in the entire upper-class society of the eastern district but also a sensitive topic that Huo Ciyi couldn't touch!
  • Although he was inwardly complaining, Ling Haoze still mustered the courage to speak, "Brother Yi, regardless of whether that person is the real Miss Yan, the Mu family has recognized her, and..."
  • Pausing for a moment, Ling Haoze's face took on a resigned and tragic expression. "And Mr. Mu said that she is his only daughter and he really hopes to see her get married... to marry someone..."
  • Seeing Ling Haoze cleverly change his words, Huo Ciyi withdrew his gaze and fell silent for a moment before saying, "Tell Mr. Mu that I will find time to visit their residence..."
  • Ling Haoze visibly breathed a sigh of relief, and his gaze towards Huo Ciyi carried a hint of gratitude. "Brother Yi, you've worked hard..."
  • Two flowers bloom, but only one branch remains—
  • Meanwhile, Huo Ciyi and Ling Haoze left the cemetery, and on the other side, Ji You reunited with his wife, son, and daughter.
  • Glancing at his wristwatch, Ji You's expression changed, and he slapped his forehead. "Oh no, Nannan and Youyou's concert!"
  • Ji You and his three children hurriedly drove to the grand theater in the eastern district. From a distance, Ji You spotted a pitiful little girl with a delicate jade bracelet looking at him, her bright black eyes shimmering with tears, a pitiful expression on her face.
  • Although he knew that the little girl was putting on an act, Ji You's heart still ached. He quickly stepped forward and embraced his precious daughter, saying, "Nannan, Mommy didn't mean to, Mommy was wrong..."
  • "Hmph..." Little Nannan clearly refused to be reasoned with, coldly snorting and deliberately turning away, saying, "Mommy is bad, Mommy deliberately broke her promise..."
  • Ji You looked at this little drama queen and didn't expose the fact that her performance hadn't started yet. Half-covering his chest, he said, "Ah, Mommy is so sad, how can Nannan say such things? Mommy feels so wronged..."
  • Ji You pretended to be pitiful, and the little girl couldn't help but turn her head back, softly holding Ji You's hand and saying, "Mommy, Nannan doesn't blame you. Nannan's performance hasn't started yet..."
  • Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Ji You pursed his lips and looked around before asking, "Darling, where is Youyou?"
  • Nannan, upon hearing this, quickly pulled Ji You towards the backstage, speaking like a little adult, "Youyou is inside getting ready. This is Youyou's first performance, and he seems a bit nervous..."
  • Although Ji Wunan knew that the little girl was serious, he couldn't help but smile. "Really? Then why don't you go inside and accompany Youyou?"
  • "Is Youyou afraid that Mommy won't find the way, so he asked Nannan to come out and get you." Nannan said without looking back.
  • As they spoke, Ji You, holding his three children's hands, quickly spotted Youyou taking deep breaths on the side of the stage.
