Return To The Past: I Won't Choose Humility This Time! Chapter 922 - 922 Alone

Chapter 922 - 922 Alone

922 Alone

Yun Xi’s family and Old Master Zhou came in, talking and laughing. When they saw Zhou Mo and Lin Yu sitting on the sofa, they only greeted them on the surface and said ‘happy new year’ before they stopped talking.

Yun Xi did not even want to say anything to people she did not like.

Apart from the occasional questions from the Old Master, the two of them were like invisible people.

Lin Yu did not like to talk to begin with. On the other hand, because Yun Xi was present, Zhou Mo’s mind was a little distracted when he heard her voice. He would occasionally glance in her direction.

Yun Xi also felt the gaze on her. She knew it was Zhou Mo, but she did not want to bother him. After all, she had no feelings for him for a long time. Moreover, he had a wife now.

She hoped that Zhou Mo could get rid of this emotion as soon as possible. It was not because of their old friends.h.i.+p, but because it was very disadvantageous to her mission!

It was only a matter of time before a sensitive girl like Lin Yu found out about this.

Yun Xi still wanted to help her change her fate. Yun Xi did not want to be hated because of the past. That would just add to her difficulties, right?

Even though the two of them did not have any feelings for each other, Lin Yu felt uncomfortable when he saw her nominal husband frequently glance at other girls. This was especially so when she saw Yun Xi and the others talking pa.s.sionately while they could only listen silently.

She had thought that she would be able to live a different life after escaping from that home, but it was no different.

She was not liked by anyone and had no interaction with her husband. It was nothing more than being moved from one prison to another.

Lin Yu thought sarcastically. She no longer had any hope in life and only wanted to live in this world.

She did not know when this thought would be shattered, and she did not expect anyone to help her.

She would never forget how terrible the end of Granny Zhang, who had helped her when she was young, was. She had only been released from her imprisonment for a short while before she was fired and forced to leave. She also suffered more severe punishment because of this.

Lin Yu’s body trembled uncontrollably as she thought about what she had been through all these years.

“I’ll go cut some fruit for everyone.”

Seeing that no one was paying attention to her, Lin Yu made up an excuse and went to the kitchen.

However, she did not expect Yun Xi to see all of this.

Was this a good chance to be alone?

Yun Xi also said that she needed to go to the toilet. She left the living room and went to the kitchen to find Lin Yu.

“What’s wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable?”

Yun Xi leaned against the kitchen door frame and looked at her with concern.

“I, I’m fine,”

Lin Yu did not know what to do with the sudden concern. For the past 23 years, her parents had never asked much about her, yet this aunt, whom she had barely met, was concerned about her.

After hearing this, Yun Xi took a few steps forward and closed the distance between them. “I’ve been observing you for a long time. You don’t look well and you’re shaking. If you feel uncomfortable, you can tell me.”

Lin Yu could feel her eyes tearing up. She had always tried to solve her problems by herself. She would shoulder everything by herself, but no one had ever cared about her.

People who forced themselves to stay strong in a difficult environment were most easily moved by small details, even if it was just a stranger asking. Simple words of concern were enough to make them cry out loud without care.

“I know a little about your family. If you encounter any difficulties, you can come to me at any time.”

Yun Xi took out a piece of paper from her pocket and handed it to her. On it was her number and the address of the studio.

She believed that Lin Yu would come to her for help one day.

Since Lin Yu had not reached an irredeemable point like she did in Yun Xi’s previous life, there was still room for redemption.

Yun Xi originally only wanted to complete her mission, but now that she saw Lin Yu blinking her eyes crazily to stop her tears from falling, she felt a little more pity for Lin Yu. She was just a little girl who wanted to fight back after being bullied.

She could tell that even though Lin Yu was weak, she was not a bad person. Even if Lin Yu was jealous of her, she did not try to harm her like Yun Lian and Hu Guo.

Even if it was not mission, Yun Xi was still willing to help.

However, Lin Yu could only guide her. If Lin Yu really wanted to change, he had to rely on himself.

After saying that, Yun Xi felt that it was almost time to leave. She had delayed for a long time, and she was afraid that her family would be suspicious. If someone came to the toilet and saw that there was no one, she would be in trouble.

There was a faint cry behind her, and Yun Xi helped her close the door gently.

The moment she closed the door, she seemed to have heard a sentence.

“Thank you…”
