"Xi, where are you? Xi!"

A young and beautiful mother looked around anxiously and shouted,

"Mom..."

Yuxi heard the call and quickly stood up and shouted loudly,

"Xi," the young and beautiful mother ran over and hugged Yuxi. She could not care less whether it was tears or sweat on her face. "I was so worried, so worried."

"Mom," Yuxi couldn't help but cry, tightly hugging her own mother,

"If I had held your hand properly, this wouldn't have happened."

"It's not Mom's fault. It's all because Xi didn't listen and insisted on going alone. That's why this happened."

"We both made mistakes and need to reflect. I am so thankful that nothing happened that I would regret for the rest of my life."

"Mom,"

They embraced again, perhaps tears of joy at their reunion. Luo Meihong, who was standing aside, was also delighted to see this scene.

She had initially wanted to quietly leave, but Youjie had not yet come out of the supermarket.

She couldn't help but complain, "So slow!"

Perhaps Yuxi and her mother had said something to her, as they walked towards Luo Meihong.

The young and beautiful mother seemed to bow slightly, "Thank you for saving my child."

Luo Meihong quickly waved her hand, "No need to thank me. I just happened to come across this situation. I hate people with malicious intent the most."

"Thank you. This is a token of gratitude, a hundred thousand yuan for saving my daughter," the young and beautiful mother directly took out a check, wrote the amount, and signed it.

Luo Meihong did not accept this so-called token of gratitude. The young and beautiful mother was confused, thinking that Luo Meihong did not believe the check was genuine, and said with certainty, "You can cash it directly at the bank. If you don't believe me, I can go with you."

"Please take it back. I can't accept it. If it's for this, I wouldn't have saved her," Luo Meihong refused. The only thing she was worried about now was that Youjie still hadn't come out.

"Well, in that case," seeing that the other party really didn't want to accept it, the young and beautiful mother put the check back in her purse.

"Then let me treat you to a meal, please do me this favor. If you don't agree, I won't be able to live with myself," pleaded the young and beautiful mother.

Luo Meihong was absent-minded, but at that moment, Youjie came out of the supermarket.

"You brat, took forever!"

Seeing Youjie, she rubbed his temples forcefully,

"Ouch... it hurts so much!"

"You brat, took forever to buy a bottle of water,"

"I... I just bought it. My stomach was a little uncomfortable, so I took care of it. It took a little time,"

"You should have taken care of it faster..." she choked Youjie by his neck,

"Ah, ah, I'm... I'm gonna die,"

"You made me worry so much,"

"Mothers are like demons from hell!"

"You brat, looking for death!"

Youjie was too busy resisting and seemed to not have heard Luo Meihong's words. Yuxi and her mother couldn't help but laugh quietly,

"Ah... I'm really sorry, for making a fool of myself," Luo Meihong felt embarrassed afterwards.

At this time, Luo Meihong accepted the goodwill of Yu Xi's mother and went to a luxury restaurant for a meal. On the table in front of her were steaks, abalone, and other luxurious dishes. For Luo Meihong, raising a child was not easy, and it would be a big headache if she didn't have enough money. So she saved most of her earnings and, of course, treated herself well when she had enough.

"Can I call you Meihong?" "Sure..." "And Mrs. Lin..." "Please call me Lynn." After being seated, they introduced themselves and quickly became familiar with each other.

"Please allow me to introduce myself again. I am Lynn, Yu Xi's mother." Lynn introduced herself again with a smile.

"Thank you very much, Meihong. Let me toast to you," Lynn raised a goblet filled with red wine.

Seeing the other's enthusiasm, Luo Meihong naturally didn't dare to neglect and also raised her goblet filled with red wine. The glasses clinked, and both took a sip. After putting down their glasses, Lynn slowly spoke, "I want to arrange for Yu Xi to be engaged to your family's Youjie. What do you think?"

"Ah!?" Luo Meihong exclaimed in surprise.

"Just now, I heard Xi say that Meihong also wants Xi to be her son-in-law, right?"

"Well, sort of..." Luo Meihong felt embarrassed, as half of her words were said unintentionally.

"Then let's settle it like this. I will also explain it to Xi's father."

"My lady..." Youjie tugged at Luo Meihong's sleeve.

"What do you want!?" Luo Meihong glared at Youjie, who had a look of protest on his face. After seeing this, Luo Meihong quickly sighed, "Actually... I think it's better to wait until they grow up."

"It's also fine to get engaged as children," Lynn didn't mind at all.

"I protest!" Youjie raised his hand, and Luo Meihong quickly covered his mouth. "Brat, do you want to be single for life?"

"Mmm..." Youjie couldn't speak since his mouth was covered.

"I have to discuss this with his father. Oh, I suddenly remembered I have something else to do. I have to take my leave," Luo Meihong said, standing up, wanting to leave quickly because Youjie was completely clueless and messing around.

"Is it very urgent? I can give you a ride..." Lynn quickly paid the bill and chased after her.

"No need..." "Then please give me your contact address. I'll find you when I have time."

Perhaps to quickly get rid of her, Luo Meihong left her address and then hurriedly left.

On the way back home, Luo Meihong pointed at Youjie's head and said, "You really are hopeless. What's wrong with that girl? Although I don't have that intention, isn't it good to have a lucky encounter?"

"Not good!"

"Brat, take a good look in the mirror!"

Youjie had a sulky face all the way until they got home, and Luo Meihong, seeing this, decided not to pay him any more attention.

Although she said those words, Luo Meihong was also worried about Youjie's future. Unfortunately, Youjie didn't understand Luo Meihong's good intentions.

Sitting in his study, a middle-aged man held a photo in his hand. The photo captured a warm moment of him, his wife Lynn, and their daughter Yu Xi. Puffing on a cigar, the middle-aged man released one smoke ring after another. His eyes were filled with sorrow as he reminisced about the past.

"Yu Ming, take good care of our daughter and never forget that thing. You must repay their kindness, or else I will never find peace even in death," he muttered.

Lynn lay in a pool of blood, a victim of revenge because Yu Ming had offended someone in his business dealings. Thankfully, their daughter Yu Xi remained unharmed. However, Lynn was stabbed multiple times and bled to death.

After enduring a long period of grief, Yu Ming fell into decadence and despair, losing himself in the process. But he never let go of this matter, it remained etched in his heart.

"Lynn..." he whispered, caressing the woman in the photo, as tears streamed down his face.
