She did not recognize this man, but she did recognize this hairy boy.
That day when Lu Jinfeng and her went to sell medicinal herbs in the town, they met him and his mother. The two of them had ruthlessly cheated her and almost sold her out.
Later, the boy's mother begged her to save a person and gave her a down payment of a hundred taels of silver. At that time, she didn't even have enough to eat. A hundred taels of silver was extremely important to her. She accepted the money and agreed to treat the patient. After that, she finally met the man the woman wanted her to save.
The man's eyes were filled with despair. He had been poisoned and was begging for death.
Since there was no medicine for her, and the woman could not explain their story, she gave the woman a method to treat the man and decisively left.
Now the boy led the man to his door. Who was this man …?
Just as he was guessing, the man clasped his hands at Chen Mu and said calmly: ”I am Ning Yuan, uninvited, please forgive me.”
Ning Yuan?
Chen Mu Mu Mu's gaze landed on the male as he sized him up.
It was indeed him, the person that the woman had wanted to save so much.
Chen Mu Mu still remembered that in order to save him, that woman didn't hesitate to destroy her pride and dignity as she kneeled down before him. She held onto a trace of pitiful hope, as though she was holding onto straw.
However, she remembered that this man had looked at her with hatred.
At that time, the man's cheekbones were high and protruding, his chin was thin, and he didn't have much flesh on him. At that time, the man's cheekbones were high and his chin was thin, and he didn't have much flesh on him.
The man these days was at least not as scary as before. He had grown quite a bit of flesh on his body, and he was tall and had the bearing of a model. His face was covered with flesh, and he was thin and had a bit of a chivalrous air to him.
He was in high spirits. Although there was still a bit of sickness between his brows, he was still in good spirits.
Compared to the first time they met, it was like the difference between heaven and earth.
With these thoughts in mind, Chen Mu nodded his head and asked, ”What business do you have with me?”
The man nodded, his gaze sweeping across Lu Jinfeng and the rest, and said with some difficulty: ”Miss, can I have a word with you?”
Some things involve privacy and are not intended for others to know.
Lu Jinfeng pulled Chen Ergou and said: ”Didn't you say to find something to clean up the courtyard? Let's go.”
Chen Ergou turned around and glanced at Chen Mu Mu, his eyes filled with worry.
”No worries, I don't think this Hero Ning will hurt me.” Chen Mu Mu Mu said.
Only then did Chen Ergou turn around and follow Lu Jinfeng.
After the two of them left, Chen Mu Mu Mu invited Ning Yuan and the boy into the house. The boy looked at Chen Mu Mu eagerly with a face filled with grievance: ”Elder sister, we haven't seen each other for more than a month, you don't recognize me anymore?”
”I do.” Chen Mu Mu Mu Mu replied indifferently.
Although she was very young, her thoughts were very crafty. Even after twenty years, it would still be difficult for her to forget such a negative image.
”Then why are you so distant from me? What did I do to make you unhappy, elder sister?” the boy asked again, looking sad.
The boy had pretty good facial features. Before, he had acted in concert with a woman and looked fierce, but he hadn't tidied himself up much, so he looked sloppy and sloppy. Now that he had changed his clothes and tidied himself up, he looked like a cute, pink boy.
If it wasn't because of the tension in her heart, Chen Mu Mu Mu felt that she should have fallen for this boy if it wasn't her first time meeting him.
Seeing his jade-carved face reveal an expression of grief and grievance, even his heart would soften.
But unfortunately … She had a feeling that something was wrong.
She wasn't a generous woman to begin with. This devilish brat had tormented her enough. She didn't think that she would be able to befriend this little boy.
Don't say that the child is innocent, because he doesn't know his place, adults shouldn't bother with him.
However, she just didn't care. She didn't teach the child well and turned into a devilish child. If she made people hate her, then she would be hateful.
She could not like this boy, nor could she get close to him.
She was not broad-minded at all.
Chen Mu Mu slightly narrowed his eyes, and did not look at the boy, but instead said to Ning Yuan, ”Young Hero Ning, if you have anything, feel free to speak your mind.”
”Elder sister.” The boy did not have good eyesight, and walked over to Chen Mu Mu Mu Mu, ”Elder sister, do you hate Xiao Mao?”
”Xiao Mao.” Ning Yuan frowned and said to the boy, ”Don't disturb Lady Chen.”
”I want to talk to my sister.” The boy was unwilling to give up and could only stare at Chen Mu Mu Mu. His large eyes that were like grapes stared at Chen Mu, ”Elder sister, you still haven't told me, do you hate me?”
Isn't that obvious?
Chen Mu Mu Mu looked at the boy with a smile that wasn't a smile, ”Little friend, you're a smart man, do you really want me to say something I don't like to hear?”
The boy felt as if he had been struck by lightning. He was dejected as tears threatened to flow out of his eyes.
”Lady Chen, he is still a child.” Ning Yuan could not bear it any longer, ”A child is like a piece of white paper, they are likely to be injured.”
