After being reborn, I became the apple of my enemy's eye.

Chapter 124 Leisurely Pursuits

Yan Yun didn't follow Zheng Jihua wholeheartedly because she thought her child could become the head of the Zheng family. Rather, it was because of the old lady's words that she put herself in Yan Yun's shoes and understood his difficulties. She was able to put aside her seniority and say those words to Yan Yun, which moved him.

Yan Yun comforted the servant and sent him back to the Yan residence to deliver the message. He only said that he would continue to work hard.

But day after day, no news came from Zheng Jihua, and news from the Yan family gradually stopped.

Before Yan Yun knew anything about what was happening, his father died, the mansion was sold, and his mother suffered.

Now, it's time to start slowly taking it back.

"After you buy Fengyu Building, Ruqing, you will be the head manager of that mansion."

Yan Yun did not reveal that she knew Ru Qing liked Lu Yan. Even if Ru Qing did not have a good ending, she would not interfere in matters of the heart.

She simply told Ruqing, "This is what you promised me. When we first met, I asked you to do this, and you promised to do it for me."

She wasn't asking Ru Qing to do something or give up Lu Yan; she was using a promise to bind Ru Qing.

She had been waiting for a long time.

The time has come.

"Lu Yan will not return to Changgu City."

Yan Yun still wanted to tell Ru Qing this news.

Ru Qing lowered her head, her expression somewhat gloomy.

Yan Yun now only asks Ru Qing to do one thing, which is to make sure that Fengyulou is bought.

Yan Yun patted Ru Qing's shoulder, then suddenly let out a sigh of relief. "If you want to do something, then do it. You can go find Lu Yan, or make your own choice again."

I cannot force her to stay or leave.

Yan Yun was willing to give her a chance, just like last time in Changgu City. She could choose whether to stay or leave.

Ru Qing looked at Yan Yun, but when she met his gaze, she couldn't help but lower her head again.

"Miss, I often envy you, as if you can have everything. But sometimes I feel like you have nothing at all."

Ru Qing's words struck a chord with Yan Yun.

That's her current situation; she wants to do everything, but hasn't started anything yet.

She has always been hindered by others.

Ru Qing's one-year promise to herself was fast approaching, and she didn't want to wait any longer.

Ru Qing knelt down directly in front of Yan Yun.

This time, Yan Yun did not reach out to help her up as he had done before.

In her opinion, Ru Qing kneeling down was because she felt sorry for herself, and perhaps she had already made a choice, once again going against Yan Yunyu.

"Miss, I would like to see you one more time."

She knows who she's meeting without needing to be told.

"Go ahead."

After hearing Yan Yun's words, Ru Qing stood up and left without lingering.

Meanwhile, Yan Yun had already begun planning how to reclaim everything he had lost in Changgu City.

Qing'er came from outside and knocked on the door.

"Miss, Mr. Han requests your presence."

Yan Yun put down the book in her hand and walked past her. The little dumpling was lying on the ground, crying loudly.

Han Shu held the book, looking at the little dumpling with a helpless expression.

Wait for Yan Yun to come over.

He immediately pushed the little girl next to Yan Yun, and before Yan Yun could ask, he told her everything, "This little girl, I don't know where she found out about her grandfather? She kept pestering me to tell her. I don't know that old man at all. He's my mortal enemy. If I were to tell her, I would just say some bad things. This little girl definitely wouldn't like to hear that. Besides, he's dead. What's the use of saying these things? You tell her. This little girl seems pretty smart. When she starts crying, she never stops and it hurts my ears."

Yan Yun looked at the little dumpling.

The little dumpling looked aggrieved. She ran back to Han Shu's side, hugged his leg, and took a bite out of him.

Everyone present was startled.

Yan Yun hurriedly went over to pull the little dumpling away, but the little dumpling just kept biting Han Shu tightly.

The little dumpling said fiercely, "You bullied Grandpa, didn't you? It was you who bullied Grandpa, which is why Grandpa left our family. It's all because of you that Shushu lost Grandpa."

As Yan Yun listened to the little dumpling's accusations, she looked up at Mr. Han. A hint of melancholy flashed in Han Shu's eyes, but it was only for a moment.

"What a waste! You still call me grandpa, but you don't believe me. Then why are you even learning from me? There's no need for you to come and learn anymore."

Yan Yun almost spoke up.

Mr. Han is a renowned gentleman; how could he possibly be so arrogant as to compare himself to such a young girl?

Yan Yun reached out and tugged at Mr. Han's sleeve.

Han Shu looked at Yan Yun and said, "Throw this girl out."

The little dumpling immediately started wailing and crying.

She looked at Han Shu.

"Grandpa Han is a bad guy."

She threw herself into Yan Yun's arms, looking at her with a hint of grievance, and asked, "Sister, what kind of person is my grandfather?"

Yan Yun thought for a moment, then reached out and picked up the little dumpling, using the ink Han Shu hadn't finished to draw a picture.

The little dumpling stopped crying, stared at Yan Yun's painting, blinked and looked at it again and again.

"Sister, what is this?"

Han Shu leaned over to take a look, then suddenly burst into laughter. Looking at Yan Yun's drawing, he said directly, "Who can recognize this?"

Yan Yun did indeed draw it according to his own idea, but unfortunately his drawing skills were sloppy and the human figure was not visible.

Han Shu was still joking, "I thought you were quite capable, girl."

The implication was that he overestimated her abilities.

The little dumpling immediately smiled.

"Sister, is this the grandfather you drew?"

Yan Yun shook his head.

She was just drawing for fun. She crumpled the rice paper into a ball and threw it away, and the little dumpling immediately picked it up.

Han Shu was still laughing.

Yan Yun turned around and wanted to leave.

"Girl, let's go to Changgu City."

Yan Yun and Xiao Tuanzi turned around at the same time to look at Han Shu. Go to Changgu City?

Should I bring myself along?

Han Shu said he had discussed this matter with Zheng Jihua, but it still depended on whether Yan Yun was willing to go.

Yan Yun was naturally willing, but Zheng Jihua might not agree.

When the little dumpling heard that they could go to Changgu City, she asked, "Sister, can you take me with you?"

Han Shu had a stern face.

“A crybaby like that can’t handle hardship.”

The little dumpling retorted angrily, "I can endure hardship."

Yan Yun looked at Han Shu from the side, somewhat puzzled as to why he suddenly brought up going to Changgu City.

Han Shu said he would do it and asked Yan Yun if he would like to go with him.

Yan Yun wanted to go; she wanted to take this opportunity to go back and visit.

But will going back be so smooth and easy?

Noon.

Yan Yun prepared to go into the backyard.

Huiying came to deliver a message, "Miss, someone outside claims to be your second aunt's person and has come to see you."

Yan Yun was particularly concerned about this title as she walked out of the academy.

Zheng Yuan's carriage was waiting outside.

Upon seeing Yan Yun emerge, the coachman immediately knocked on the carriage door. The maids pushed it open, and Lu Lan poked her head out. She looked at Yan Yun and called out in a pretentious manner, "Ning'er."

Yan Yun felt a chill run down his spine.

Lu Lan did not get off the carriage; she only came over to take a look. She instructed her servants to send the items over.

"Miss, this is what Madam prepared for you."

Seeing the food box brought by the servants, and seeing Lu Lan frequently trying to curry favor with him at the morning table, Yan Yun knew exactly what Lu Lan was thinking.

The maid she had never liked had become Zheng Jihua's concubine.

Feng Shui turns.

Yan Yun suddenly smiled.

She accepted Lu Lan's food box.

Lu Lan was taken aback.

Yan Yun had Qing'er take the food box to the backyard and hand it over to Huiying.

"The young lady said, let's all try it together."

Huiying still hesitated, "I'll fetch it for you, Miss."

Yan Yun still put the things Lu Lan had prepared on the table.

Qing'er asked Huiying to bring the women out.

Yan Yun looked at them and handed them chopsticks. The chefs in Zheng Yuan's kitchen were all top-notch, and Yan Yun thought their skills were not bad either. Although the food was average, their skills were excellent.

Yan Yun had an idea in mind.

Huiying took the lead and tried it. She thought it was delicious, but she had never eaten anything good before, so she didn't dare to speak up. She could only look at the people next to her.

Yan Yun stared at them. Although they didn't speak, the expressions on their faces said a lot.

The little dumpling kept praising how delicious it was.

Yan Yun took the little girl's hand and wrote something on her palm. The little girl couldn't help but laugh and looked at Huiying.

"My sister said she thinks yours tastes better."
