Although her family background wasn’t impressive, her personality, temperament, appearance, and even her medical skills didn’t match that of a country girl, which perfectly aligned with his ideal partner criteria.
“Saving a life is a huge favor, and it can’t be repaid with just a few gifts. Please accept these,” Mother Zhou said with a smile. She had a very favorable impression of Luo Shu in her heart.
“I appreciate your kindness, Auntie, but please take back the gifts. I absolutely won’t accept them,” Luo Shu said with a light smile, turning her head to look at Xu Feng and his wife.
“Lanxiang, you should take the gifts back. I know how stubborn this girl Luo Shu is! Even as her godmother, when I try to give her gifts, she always refuses. She’s really impossible to deal with!” Zhao Aishu frowned at Luo Shu, chuckling as she spoke.
“This…” Qin Lanxiang turned to look at Zhou Wenyong, and seeing him nod, she said, “Alright then! Luo Shu, you can come and visit your godmother’s house in the future, or even my place. It’s not far from here, just a short walk away.”
“Okay!” Luo Shu smiled and agreed. Naturally, she wouldn’t visit the Zhou Family. Lu Hanmo had already informed her about the Zhou family’s background, and she didn’t want to get involved with them more than necessary.
Zhou Wenyong and the other two stayed for a little while before taking their leave.
Luo Shu also took the opportunity to bid farewell to Xu Feng and his wife, “Godfather, godmother, we should be heading back too.” If the Zhou family hadn’t come, she would have taken Luo Shan and the others back home earlier. She could tell that while they were having fun, they felt restrained the whole time.
“You should stay for dinner before leaving,” Zhao Aishu insisted. It was not easy for her to see Luo Shu return; naturally, she wanted to spend more time with her.
“No need, we haven’t had lunch for too long, and I’m still feeling quite full,” Aunt Chen said with a smile. Luo Shu had arrived in Cloud City around two in the afternoon, and they didn’t have lunch until after three, so how could they eat dinner now?
Luo Shu laughed and said, “Godfather, godmother, I’ll come to see you again in a couple of days. I’m indeed a bit tired today.”
Hearing Luo Shu say this, Zhao Aishu did not insist further, “Then go back and rest well. Aunt Li, go call Xiao Zhang to bring the car over.”
“Yes, madam!” Aunt Li responded and stepped out the door.
Lin Yu walked listlessly on the street. Though she still appeared well-dressed, a closer look would reveal she had aged significantly, her expression somber, her eyes lifeless, like a walking corpse. Ma Zhenhai had divorced her, but he left her the house, saying it would be convenient for her to take care of Shaoyun.
Hearing laughter in the distance, Lin Yu turned her gaze in that direction. Upon recognizing Luo Shu, a venomous light shot from her eyes as she glared intensely at Luo Shu, wishing she could tear her apart. Ma Zhenhai’s divorce, the continuous strikes against the Lin Family, her father’s severe illness, her siblings treating her like an enemy—all these were thanks to Luo Shu. How could she not hate her?
Feeling a piercing gaze, Luo Shu turned her head and saw Lin Yu, offering her a cold smile. She hadn’t forgotten that it was Lin Yu who had caused Luo Shan to be kidnapped by human traffickers.
Lin Yu, seeing the cold smile on Luo Shu’s face, clenched her fists even tighter, and finally, unable to control herself any longer, she charged towards Luo Shu and the others.
Luo Shan, seeing Lin Yu’s distorted face, took a fearful step back, “Sister, who is she?” It was clear that the woman was heading straight for them.
“An enemy! She was the one behind the human traffickers,” Luo Shu sneered. Today would be a good day to settle the score with Lin Yu.
“What?!” Luo Shan, Luo Zheng, and Aunt Chen’s husband all exclaimed in surprise.
“Second Sister, let’s go and beat up that wicked woman,” Luo Zheng said angrily. It was because of this woman that he almost lost his big sister and Second Sister.
“Okay!” Luo Shan nodded, and together with Luo Zheng, they rushed towards Lin Yu, who was bearing down on them. Thinking of the helplessness and fear she had felt when confined in that dark room by the traffickers, and how her sister was nearly lost forever because of her, anger surged within her.
As Luo Zheng and Luo Shan charged towards her with fierce determination, Lin Yu stopped in her tracks. Her initial rush had been clouded by hatred, but now, returning to her senses, she wasn’t about to foolishly engage in a fight. After all, outnumbered, she would be at a disadvantage.
With this realization, Lin Yu hesitated no longer and took off running. However, at her age, how could she outrun the youthful Luo Zheng and Luo Shan? They quickly outflanked her from front and back.
