Mo Zhiyun: “???”
Xu Youyou raised her hand and wiped the tears at the corners of her eyes. She tried her best to smile as she said again, “Help me apply some makeup.”
Mo Zhiyun: “…”
‘It’s over. Has Sister-in-law gone crazy or did her personality split? Brother, I really didn’t do anything!’
Xu Youyou looked at herself in the mirror. Her eyes lit up as hope slowly returned to her. Things were different now; everything was different now.
Mo Zhiyun nervously helped Xu Youyou apply some light makeup. She helped Xu Youyou put on some blush and use lipstick with a natural color on Xu Youyou.
Xu Youyou looked a little better. She no longer looked lifeless as though she did not want to live anymore.
…
When Xu Youyou went downstairs, her footsteps were light and airy.
Mo Zhiyun looked at Xu Youyou worriedly. She was so nervous that she did not even dare to breathe.
When Xu Jialu caught a glimpse of Xu Youyou coming downstairs, he froze immediately. He rose to his feet quickly. He was so nervous that he did not know where to put his hands. His seductive eyes were bloodshot as a result of not sleeping for two days. His face could not conceal his exhaustion at all. All kinds of emotions surged in his heart as he looked at his sister.
Xu Youyou bit her lower lip before she rushed straight to Xu Jialu. “Brother.”
Xu Youyou hugged Xu Jialu tightly. Her voice was filled with grievance when she called out to him.
Xu Jialu was so stunned by the sudden hug that his body stiffened. He lowered his head to look at her in surprise. Then, he looked at Mo Shenbai as though to ask, “Did she not recover her memories?”
Mo Shenbai frowned as a hint of confusion flashed in his eyes. He shook his head imperceptibly as though saying he did not know.
Xu Youyou hugged Xu Jialu tightly. She complained like a bullied child as she said, “Those people are so annoying. Why did they bully me? Did I provoke them in the past?”
Xu Jialu no longer cared about anything else when he heard these words. He hugged her as he said in a very hoarse voice, “You didn’t do anything wrong, and you didn’t provoke them. They’re just bad people.”
Xu Youyou raised her head and sniffed. Her voice was a little weak as she said, “Then, can you help me teach them a lesson? They bullied me in the past and made me unhappy. It also made all of you worry so much.”
Xu Jialu looked at his sister’s clear and bright eyes as he nodded carefully. His heart that had been uneasy over the past two days was finally at ease. He said, “Don’t worry. I’ll definitely help you vent your anger. Those who bullied you deserve to die.”
Xu Youyou bit her lip before she said worriedly, “Ah, you, you just have to teach them a lesson. Don’t beat them up. For example, you can hack their computers or create profiles with their real information on dating apps… Things like that…”
Xu Jialu could not help but laugh. He pinched her cheek and asked, “Dating apps? Where did you hear about this? Su Lanxu?”
Su Lanxu, who had not gone home for two days and did not sleep much: “???”
‘Why did I get shot when I’m just sitting down and doing nothing?!’
Xu Youyou pursed her lips. After a moment, she said worriedly, “Brother, Grandma is…”
“Dad just called. Grandma has woken up,” Xu Jialu said as he patted her head, “Don’t worry, and don’t feel guilty. Grandma was just too anxious.”
Xu Youyou nodded. She lowered her gaze and asked, “Have you found the person who posted the post?”
Xu Jialu and Mo Shenbai exchanged a look but did not say anything.
Xu Youyou turned to look at Mo Shenbai. She stomped her foot lightly as she said, “Why are you looking at him? Tell me!”
Xu Jialu sighed softly and said, “I’m still investigating.”
Xu Youyou pouted. “Oh… Brother, are your skills not enough? It’s been two days, and you still haven’t found anything.”
Xu Jialu: “…”
This time, Xu Jialu was unable to defend himself when he was ridiculed. After all, the other party was his beloved sister.
On the other hand, Su Lanxu burst out laughing.
Xu Youyou looked at Su Lanxu in confusion. “Lanlan, why are you laughing?”
Su Lanxu shook her head. “Nothing. It’s nothing.”
The only person in the world who could make Xu Jialu shut up was Xu Youyou.
Xu Jialu glared at Su Lanxu and said, “Who are you laughing at? If you don’t go home soon, your parents are going to report you missing!”
Su Lanxu shrugged. “Don’t worry. Even if I don’t go home for a year, they won’t even notice it.”
Xu Jialu: “…”
“Brother, I want to see Grandma…”
Xu Jialu looked at her. “Alright, I’ll accompany you.”
Mo Shenbai, who had been silent all this time, finally said, “I’ll come with both of you as well.”
Mo Zhiyun raised her hand weakly and asked, “Then, what should I do?”
Xu Jialu glanced at the computer before he said, “Keep an eye on the forums and the social media platforms. Inform us if there’s any movement.”
Mo Zhiyun nodded. “Okay! I promise to carry out my mission perfectly!”
“I won’t accompany you to the hospital,” Su Lanxu said. She walked over to Xu Youyou and reached out to pinch Xu Youyou’s cheek as she said, “It’s good that you’re alright. I’m going home to catch up on my sleep. If you miss me, call me. I’m available 24 hours for you.”
Xu Youyou hugged Su Lanxu. “Lanlan, thank you.”
Xu Youyou naturally knew Su Lanxu had been staying here for two days because Su Lanxu was worried about her.
Su Lanxu patted Xu Youyou’s back and said, “There’s no need to be so polite. We’re like sisters, after all! It’s normal for us to look after each other.”
…
At the hospital.
Old Madam Xu had already woken up.
Xu Jianshu and Cheng Ying were in the room, and both of them looked very worried.
When Xu Youyou walked in, the few people in the room, who were in a gloomy mood, were startled. Then, joy replaced the gloominess immediately.
“Youyou…”
Cheng Ying hugged Xu Youyou as tears spilled out of her eyes. “You scared us to death. You child…”
Xu Youyou said guiltily, “I’m sorry for making you worry…” She added silently, ‘… again…’
Xu Jianshu put his arm around his wife’s shoulders and said comfortingly, “She’s fine now. That’s all that matters. Don’t cry. If you cry, she’ll feel even guiltier.”
Cheng Ying nodded repeatedly as she raised her hand to wipe her tears away.
Xu Youyou was filled with guilt and self-blame when she looked at Old Madam Xu who was lying on the hospital bed. She said, “Grandma, it’s all my fault for making you worry.”
Old Madam Xu smiled and waved Xu Youyou over. “Come here.”
Xu Youyou walked to the side of the bed and held Old Madam Xu’s hand that was lying weakly at the side.
Old Madam Xu’s arm was like a withering and brittle branch that looked as though it would snap one day.
Old Madam Xu said earnestly, “Don’t look at those things on the Internet. Don’t let them affect you. They’re all nonsense. You’re the best child in the world. If someone hurts you, it’s not because you’ve done something wrong. Instead, it’s because the light in your heart is too bright. They want to extinguish the light in your heart. The more they try to do so, the more you have to keep the light. Sooner or later, your light will reveal the darkness and filth in their hearts.”
Xu Youyou’s eyes were red, and she felt as though her throat was blocked by something. She could not say a word and could only nod repeatedly.
Old Madam Xu looked at Mo Shenbai who was standing silently behind Xu Youyou. She said, “Little Mo, you’re here as well…”
Mo Shenbai stepped forward. He leaned forward and called out respectfully, “Grandma.”
“Youyou is a good child, and you’re a good child as well. Both of you are fated to be together,” Old Madam Xu said as she grabbed Mo Shenbai’s hand and placed it in Xu Youyou’s hand, “No matter what happens in the future, you must stay by each other’s sides. Don’t forget the reason why you got together…”
