Part 3
Seemingly infected by him, the two little guys also ate a small bowl more rice than usual.
Li Yufen had been paying attention to her child, and seeing this, she was extremely happy.
When Xu Zeyi finished eating, he realized that everyone seemed to be looking at him, and then gradually recalled that he seemed to have eaten slightly more than a little bit…
Anyway, everyone enjoyed this meal very much.
Afterward, they sat together and chatted.
At first, it was just small talk, then they talked about Pengpeng’s matter.
After listening, Xu Zeyi also shared some things he heard from others about what his grandfather did.
Until past nine o’clock in the evening, nearly ten, Xu Zeyi proposed to leave.
Fang Dahao drank some wine and couldn’t drive.
Xu Zeyi didn’t want to trouble them further, so he took a taxi and left.
After the Fang family sent Xu Zeyi off and returned, there were no outsiders in the house.
Luo Wenshu knew that the follow-up of this meal was just beginning.
A life-saving grace, no matter when, is a huge favor.
Although Luo Wenshu acted only to return a favor and didn’t care.
But the Fang family understood etiquette and couldn’t just let it pass with a meal at home.
Fang Dahao brought an exquisite red envelope, handed it to Luo Wenshu, and said solemnly, “Little Luo, you saved our Pengpeng. This great kindness, your Brother Fang will always remember…”
Inside that red envelope was a card with two hundred thousand yuan.
It was the Fang family’s thank-you gift.
Luo Wenshu certainly didn’t accept it.
And the Fang family kept insisting.
Both sides pushed back and forth. Finally, Luo Wenshu had no choice but to make a request to Li Yufen, asking her to rent the three-bedroom apartment next door that had just become vacant not long ago to her as well, for a term of three years, during which she would not pay rent.
Houses in this area were easy to rent out, let alone Li Yufen being generous, with rent lower than the market price. In the two adjacent buildings, many tenants had lived for a long time.
The rent for Luo Wenshu’s two apartments combined would be over thirty thousand a year, and three years would be almost one hundred thousand.
It sounded like a lot, half of two hundred thousand.
But it was different.
Taking out two hundred thousand in cash at once couldn’t be compared to one hundred thousand in rent over three years.
The Fang family originally didn’t agree, but Luo Wenshu said if they refused, she could only move away.
At these words, the Fang family had no choice but to agree.
The matter was finally resolved.
“Mom, why did we rent the house next door?” Luo Xingyu lowered his head and asked in a low voice.
Luo Wenshu patted his head, “Because you’ve grown up and need your own room, and a toy room, like Pengpeng’s, buying lots of toys you like to put inside, and inviting friends to come play at home.”
“Then… what about here?” Luo Xingyu’s voice became even smaller.
“Here…” Luo Wenshu glanced at the room, “It will stay this way. Because your memories are here. If you miss mom in the future, you can come over to look and stay for a while.”
The mom here referred to the original owner of the body, that gentle and kind mother who worked hard to raise him to five years old.
Hearing this, Luo Xingyu’s eyes instantly turned red, then he threw himself into Luo Wenshu’s arms, crying woo-woo.
“Mom… I miss mom… woo woo woo…”
“You’ll be able to see her soon…”
Although it was the last time, at least he could say goodbye properly, letting her know his longing, not worrying that he would live badly in the future…
Luo Xingyu cried hard, his eyes swollen like a little rabbit.
Luo Wenshu patted his head again, then went to the bathroom to wash up.
When she came back, she asked Luo Xingyu, “Before today, had you heard the name Xu Zeyi?”
The latter looked a bit blank, thought for a while, and shook his head, “No.”
He asked her again, “What’s wrong, Mom?”
“Nothing, go take a shower.” Luo Wenshu waved her hand.
When Luo Xingyu walked out of the room, she lay on the bed, frowning slightly.
She felt the name Xu Zeyi was slightly familiar.
This was one of the reasons she paid so much attention to Xu Zeyi at the Fang family.
Luo Wenshu was sure this familiarity didn’t come from her own memory, so it could only be from the original owner of this body.
So she asked Luo Xingyu and got a negative answer.
Luo Wenshu tried hard to search through the inherited memories.
After a while, her eyes widened slightly, and the expression on her face was a bit surprised.
She found the source of that familiarity. It was another part of the inexplicable memories she inherited on the day she transmigrated.
“…Long after, Luo Xingyu learned that the person who saved him was named Xu Zeyi, appearing twenty-three or four years old, with a refreshing short haircut, looking like a student just out of college, but actually in his thirties, the deputy director of the Chunshan City Special Investigation Bureau…”
That memory told Luo Wenshu that this was a novel world, the protagonist was Luo Xingyu, and the identity she transmigrated into was the male lead’s early-deceased mother.
Luo Wenshu always knew this but didn’t really take it seriously.
But now, the person described in those memory scenes really appeared. Not just a name, but appearance and age also matched closely.
And when Luo Wenshu saw Xu Zeyi not long ago, she detected a special karma on him. This person would indeed have a lot of interaction with Luo Xingyu in the future…
She frowned even tighter.
Suddenly, another scene emerged in her mind.
Luo Wenshu saw the artificial Ghost Domain named Chaihuo Courtyard they had visited not long ago.
The scene described that it was the first weird domain Luo Xingyu entered after becoming an adult, and it was also there that Xu Zeyi saved his life.
Luo Wenshu: …
If these were all true, then she probably knew the reason why the two previous karmic backlashes suddenly became so strong…
