"I want to hang out with him too," Lin Wanqing pouted. "But he just ignores and always hangs out with a little brat nad An Ran. What can I do?"
An Ran...
Lin Chun thought for a mont, and when she ca to her senses again, she found that Lin Wanqing had already run away.
Lin Wanqing ran far away and turned around, shaking the Gemstone Necklace she had hidden in a shawl. "Aunt, I’m just borrowing this for a bit."
That Gemstone Necklace... she just bought it!
Lin Chun frowned, "Wanqing, co back here!"
Unfortunately, Lin Wanqing turned a deaf ear and ran away with all her might.
"That darn girl." Lin Chun shook her head.
After washing clothes and hanging them in the backyard, she coincidentally t Mama Chi there.
"Mrs. Chi," Lin Chun greeted her.
Mama Chi looked up and gave a gentle smile.
The two won started to chat casually.
Lin Chun spoke, "Mrs. Chi, there’s sothing I must tell you. I just saw your husband with a woman nad An from Tingyu Lane, saying many suspicious things."
To her surprise, Mama Chi just smiled again, "It’s okay, I don’t mind."
"No way? That’s your husband!"
But much of the inside story is sothing outsiders could hardly understand.
Mama Chi had no intention of sharing the truth with Lin Chun.
"It’s almost lunchti, and Chi Cheng will be back soon." Mama Chi tucked a lock of hair behind her ear and smiled gracefully, "I’m sorry, I might have to go in and prepare his al."
This woman has such a big heart.
Lin Chun shook her head.
At noon, Mama Chi had already prepared Chi Cheng’s favorite dishes.
But Chi Cheng did not return; instead, Lin Wanqing ran crying into the Chi family ho.
Mama Chi knelt down, gently wiping her tears, "Wanqing, what’s wrong?"
"Waa..." Lin Wanqing looked up and cried, "Aunt Chi, please help . I lost Auntie’s Gemstone Necklace. She’ll hit for sure."
"Don’t cry," Mama Chi comforted her. "Where did you lose it? Auntie will go with you to find it, okay?"
"Really?" Lin Wanqing’s eyes lit up, but she was still sad, "It must have been picked up by soone already, it’s gone."
"How will you know if you don’t try?" Mama Chi took Lin Wanqing’s little hand, "Auntie will go with you to look for it."
On a certain rock by the seaside.
Mama Chi carefully held her, "You guys, how can you play in such a dangerous place?"
"It’s just an adventure ga."
"Is this where you noticed the necklace was missing?"
"Uh-huh."
Mama Chi began to search with Lin Wanqing.
Lin Wanqing was exceptionally attentive in her search, and by the ti she ca to her senses, she was close to the edge of the cliff.
She was startled, "Ah!"
Her body uncontrollably tilted towards the deep sea below the rock.
"Be careful." Mama Chi quickly moved forward and grabbed Lin Wanqing.
As if she had caught the last straw of hope, Lin Wanqing clung desperately to Mama Chi’s arm and leaped upward with force.
Mama Chi lost her balance and the whole person pitched forward.
Plop—
She plunged heavily into the sea.
"Help, help..." Mama Chi struggled desperately, choking and shouting.
Lin Wanqing was so scared her legs went weak.
Did she cause this? Did she?
Mama Chi was still struggling desperately, her head repeatedly subrged by the waves, "Wanqing..."
No, it wasn’t her fault!
Lin Wanqing, face pale with fear, turned and ran away.
