Chapter 644: Chapter 644: Courting Death Response (1)_1

Listening to Mo Yan’s words, Xin Er gradually calmed down. As she thoughtfully lifted her head and saw the peace in her sister’s eyes, she knew that her sister would, as she had said, slowly let go of her grudge against that woman and strive to make the most of the days to come.

Her sister was right, that woman had given her life, raised her, and had once truly loved her. Just for that, she should be grateful, and what’s more, because of her, she had a kind father, a sister who was incredibly good to her, and an adorable younger brother. What right did she have to bear any resentment?

Even if she was young back then and didn’t know what kind of life that woman had led, she had later learned from others and seen for herself some of the things that had happened. She knew how harsh and mean the second grandma had been, how she had driven that woman, or rather, their entire family, almost to the point of no return.

Frankly, it was their father who should hate that woman the most, the woman who had once kept him from raising his head with pride. Yet, he had never spoken a bad word about her in front of them. He even once, while drunk, held the hands of the three siblings and cried, apologizing to them, saying it was his fault, that it was he who had driven the woman away, leaving them motherless...

Now, her sister’s words finally made her understand that the woman’s abandonment of her family to elope was wrong, but it wasn’t entirely her fault alone...

The gloom that shadowed Xin Er’s brows slowly dissipated, revealing a clear, bright smile. "Sister, I know what to do! The good days for our family have just begun. If we keep dwelling on the past, holding grudges against those who’ve hurt us, how could we ever be happy? Sister, rest assured, even if I can’t forgive her right now, I’ll learn to let go just like you, to treat that woman as a stranger. From now on, we shall live our lives, and she can enjoy her wealth and splendor as if she never existed!"

Seeing her sister truly come to terms with it, Mo Yan felt greatly relieved but also a faint pain in her heart. Her sister was such a kind-hearted and perceptive girl. Despite many years of life without hope, she had still preserved her initial innocence, untainted by the world. Yet, growth always came with pain, and she only hoped that with the protection of her and their father, her sister would grow up safe and happy, someday find a husband who cherished and loved her, and continue a life of happiness.

Through this incident, the bond between the sisters seemed to have grown stronger. They were not only the closest of sisters but also confidantes who could share their innermost thoughts. The events of this day would forever be etched in their memories, indelibly!

In the Cloth Shop, the sisters tacitly reached a mutual agreement and decided to keep this matter from their father and brother. Since that person had found the life and family she longed for, it was clear that she was merely a passerby in their family’s life, no longer holding any significance worth discussing. As such, there was no need to unnecessarily trouble their father and brother.

Yet, Mo Yan remained apprehensive about Chen Ji. Having such an entourage even just for show indicated a certain level of influence, suggesting that he was not merely flaunting his status. For a man of humble origins to rise to this sort of prominence in just over a decade, his tactics must have been far from simple, and she had to get to the bottom of it to be at ease.

After dinner, as night fully descended, Mo Yan returned to her own courtyard and found the two Hidden Guards that Xiao Ruiyuan had originally sent. She hoped they could help her investigate Chen Ji’s background.

No sooner had she finished her request than one of the guards pulled out a thick letter from his waist and respectfully presented it to Mo Yan: "Miss, the master instructed that if you ever inquired about the information on someone surnamed Chen, this should be handed to you!"
