Chapter 7 I Can't Help You With This Favor

That day was the same as usual, after Yun Zhe prepared lunch in advance, he went down the mountain to sell embroidery. Seven-year-old Yun Nianchen was practicing on the mountain, and Yun Nianxi was studying in the house.

However, it was already noon, and Yun Nianchen hadn't come home for dinner. Yun Nianxi was a little worried, so he went to find him where his younger brother had been practicing.

However, it was discovered that Yun Nianchen was not there.

Yun Nianxi panicked and called Yun Nianchen's name everywhere on the mountain, but there was still no response.

When Yun Bing came back in the afternoon, he saw Yun Nianxi's anxious look, and after asking, he found out that Yun Nianchen was missing.

The mountain where they lived was not very big, so it was actually very easy to find someone, but the mother and daughter searched all afternoon but couldn't find Yun Nianchen.

Yun Nianchen has always been very sensible and doesn't know how to run around, and because of this, Yun Zhe felt even more uneasy, and searched the small town down the mountain, asking everyone, but no one saw Yun Nianchen traces.

For three whole days, there was no news from Yun Nianchen.

The anxious Yun Zhe even let go of her arrogance and went to the Yun family for help, but the Yun family turned her away and threatened that she was just a bastard, if she lost it, she would lose it.

Yun's envious jealousy, his usual upbringing was broken, and he left angrily after scolding the Yun family for being cold-blooded and heartless.

For half a year, Yun Zhe has been looking for Yun Xichen, asking all the people he had a little relationship with in the past, but he still hasn't gotten any news.

Yun Zhe finally gave up.

He hadn't worked for half a year, and the little savings he had saved before had been exhausted. Thinking that he still had a daughter to support, Yun Ji had no choice but to give up searching and started embroidery again.

However, as the years passed, the root cause of the illness caused by not confinement before came out, and Yun Nianchen's disappearance became Yun's heart disease.

Yun's body is getting worse day by day.

Just three months ago, Yunzhu finally fell ill.

Before dying, Yun Zhe gave Yun Nianxi the jade pendant that the man left her 18 years ago.

Let her use this jade pendant to search for the man in Kyoto to see if she can find it.

Yun Nianchen has already been lost, and the only thing that Yun Zhe is worried about is Yun Nianxi.

Yun Nianxi has just turned 17 years old, and has never left her since she was a child. She doesn't know the dangers of the world, and she is an ordinary person without cultivation.

Besides that man, she didn't know who to entrust Yun Nianxi to.

She thought, after all, Yun Nianxi is that person's biological daughter, even if she has no feelings, that person should take care of her because of blood relationship.

However, Yun Ji was also worried that this was just her self-righteousness, so he told Yun Nianxi that if he finds that man, it would be best if the man recognizes her; Find an honest person to marry, and spend the rest of your life in peace and stability.

Yun Nianxi agreed, so after Yun Bao's death, after seven days of filial piety, she took the jade pendant and brought all the savings they had accumulated over the past ten years to the capital.

However, just as Yun Zhe was worried, Yun Nianxi didn't know the dangers in the world, and before he arrived in the capital, he was cheated out of all his money by some quack tricks.

Yun Nianxi was in a hurry and asked the liar to make a theory, but the liar had encountered such things a lot, he ignored it, and directly found some gangsters to beat Yun Nianxi up, intending to make her suffer a bit, but who knew The girl was also stubborn, she didn't beg for mercy, and clamored to report to the authorities.

The gangsters were impatient, and their attacks didn't matter how serious they were, they directly beat Yun Nianxi to death.

I don't know how those gangsters confirmed it. They thought that Yun Nianxi was dead, and they were afraid of causing trouble, so they sent two people to put Yun Nianxi in a sack and "throw the corpse into the wilderness".

And then Yun Nianxi called for help after waking up and met Wu Mo...

Wu Mo listened to her story quietly, and didn't ask Yun Nianxi what kind of help she wanted her to do, because she knew that Yun Nianxi would tell it herself.

Sure enough, after a long silence, Yun Nianxi spoke——

"I want you to help me, just find... that man, after you find him, ask me a word."

Maybe it's because the word "father" is too unfamiliar to Yun Nianxi, maybe it's because Yun Nianxi doesn't want to admit the identity of the man he has never met. In short, after hesitating for a long time, he just replaced it with "that man".

"Ask him if he still remembers a woman named Yunzhu. Ask him why he never came back when he left. Ask him why he didn't fulfill what he clearly promised!"

Yun Nianxi seemed to be triggered by something, and the more she spoke, the more excited she became, and in the end, her tone even turned into tears.

Although my mother never said it, she didn't even speak until she died.

But Yun Nianxi knew - her mother had always had complaints in her heart.

It's not that she really doesn't care about those people's gossip, but that she has always had expectations for the man she only met once. Turned into a joke...

Therefore, Yun Nianxi wanted to find that man, not to recognize his ancestors, but just to ask her mother the question she had hidden for 18 years.

The woman who was originally proud and beautiful, her ten fingers were not touched by the sun, her reputation was ruined because of him, she gave birth to a child for him, and worked hard for half her life, but she didn't wait for him until she died.

Yun Nianxi knows better than anyone how hard her mother's life is, and the man who is the culprit shouldn't know everything and spend his life without any sense of guilt.

This is so unfair!

Listening to what the girl said, Xue Bao couldn't help wiping away tears that didn't exist with his paws.

The surrounding atmosphere is a bit sad.

Although Wu Mo was also very sympathetic, she still reminded, "But, this is more than a sentence."

"..."

Yun Nianxi froze with grief and indignation on his face.

In the quiet night, the atmosphere suddenly became awkward.

Then, Wu Mo's faint voice sounded again.

"So, I can't help you with that—you'd better ask him yourself."
