Following closely behind Tang Lixue, they arrived at a secluded area. The surroundings were silent and somewhat dilapidated. Even the trees nearby seemed to have grown wildly without any pruning for a long time.
Not far away in this disorderly area, there was a lonely residential complex. From a distance, the rows of old-fashioned buildings looked like the old-style tenements from a long time ago, with only slight improvements. From the outside, they didn't give off too much of a sense of age, but they stood there lonely and somewhat desolate.
As the two approached the residential complex, He Muyun unexpectedly discovered that in such a place, there was still a guardhouse. Calling it a guardhouse seemed a bit forced, the correct term should be a gatekeeper's lodge.
Approaching the gatekeeper's lodge, He Muyun intentionally or unintentionally glanced inside and found that in the dim room, someone was sleeping soundly on a bed in the corner of the room, snoring loudly. The thunder outside was particularly loud.
Looking at the person who was already quite old but still snoring so loudly, He Muyun inexplicably felt like laughing. However, she quickly turned her thoughts back to herself and Tang Lixue who was walking ahead of her...
How did her daughter bring her to such a place for no reason?
He Muyun once again surveyed the surroundings and sincerely felt that such a place was not suitable for them, given their identity.
Today, He Muyun was wearing a high-end light red casual outfit and soft brown leather shoes. She walked with her head held high and her chest out, exuding an imposing aura. Tang Lixue, who was walking in front of her, was even more dazzlingly dressed, especially with the world-famous high-end handbag she was carrying. At first glance, she was a daughter of a wealthy family. However, now she had come to such a place, which made He Muyun quite puzzled.
Finally, with doubts in her mind, He Muyun walked a few steps faster and walked side by side with Tang Lixue.
"Snow, where are we going or who are we going to see?"
"Don't ask, you'll know in a moment!" Tang Lixue seemed unwilling to explain further.
At this time, occasionally, residents walked out of the dilapidated residential complex's corridors and saw two unfamiliar faces, dressed very differently from the people here. All eyes were focused on the mother and daughter.
"Xue'er, why did you bring me here?"
He Mu Yun couldn't help but ask her daughter, and even stopped walking. Her noble body didn't want to step on such lowly ground, feeling that it was beneath her status.
"It's okay, don't move, he's here!" Tang Lixue suddenly pointed to the side.
At this moment, He Mu Yun saw a gray figure that had quietly appeared in front of them at some point.
"You, you..." He Mu Yun turned his head to look, but was shocked and speechless after just one glance.
The person who suddenly appeared was a young man, but perhaps due to his life being too down and out, his expression was somewhat cold and lacked the sunshine that young people usually had. Instead, he had a desolate and gloomy temperament.
Of course, He Mu Yun was familiar with this person, because when she did what she did back then, there was someone who saw everything. This person was the young man in front of her, Wu Fengchang.
"How come you're here? Aren't you dead?"
"The dead person isn't me, it should be someone else, right? A man who was poisoned to death by you personally. How could you forget, big sister?"
Wu Fengchang's withered mouth curled up, as if he was savoring something, and continued, "As for me, you thought I was dead. When I was young, I saw such a crazy and cruel thing, my mind was in chaos, and I didn't know what to do. You chased after me, and I was so scared that I ran away. Then, I accidentally fell into the lake while trying to escape. You thought I was dead, but unfortunately, I'm still alive, and I remember everything."
As he spoke, Wu Fengchang burst into laughter at He Mu Yun.
At this moment, He Mu Yun felt her legs go weak, and her body felt as heavy as a thousand pounds. She was about to collapse on the ground.
"Mom!" Tang Lixue was shocked and quickly supported her.
But at this moment, He Mu Yun had already understood everything. It seemed that everything this person said was true.
Her own mother had really killed that man's father.
"What do you want? What do you want to do?" He Mo Yun was still cunning and shrewd, gradually calming down from her panic. Since things had already developed to this point, she could only face it. Besides, the young man in front of her didn't seem to be very smart. Perhaps she could quickly find a way to make him disappear from her sight forever.
In this way, she could solve the problem once and for all.
Thinking of this, a kind smile appeared on He Mo Yun's face.
Seeing her like this, Wu Fengchang finally spoke, while glancing at Tang Lixue standing beside him...
When Tang Yutong and Mo Jin arrived at the company, it was already late. They passed through the front desk, walked through the work area, and arrived near the office.
Tang Yutong's footsteps involuntarily slowed down. She was surprised to find that her half-sister, Tang Lixue, who had caused her countless troubles, had appeared in the company again, and she didn't know when.
"Hehe, my sister's mental strength is really strong!" Tang Yutong looked at the figure with a hint of teasing.
"There are always some people in this world who, in the face of interests, don't even care about their own face, let alone your shameless sister!" Mo Jin looked at the figure coldly and said.
"Do you want me to drive her away?"
"No, I'll do it myself..." Tang Yutong said, walking slowly towards her sister.
At this moment, Tang Lixue was subconsciously stirring her skirt, thinking hard about something. Suddenly, she looked up and saw Tang Yutong walking towards her. She was stunned for a moment, and then immediately rushed towards her as if she had seen a very close person.
"Sister!"
"Haha, who are you calling? Don't you remember who said I was an outsider not long ago, and couldn't be your sister? How come now, in the blink of an eye, I'm your sister again?" Tang Yutong sneered.
"Sister, what are you joking about? We are real sisters. I have always admired you as my idol from the bottom of my heart. It's just that I was influenced by others before, so I did some things that were not good for you. But now I know I was wrong. So, sister, can you forgive me?" Tang Lixue said with a pitiful expression.
