Lord Yan, The Little Ancestor Has Fallen Off The Horse Again!
Chapter 128: Stop It Right Now

Chapter 128: Chapter 128: Stop It Right Now

She had always been puzzled about one thing: with her grandfather’s outstanding medical skills, why did her mom have a difficult childbirth when giving birth to her?

"Yun Yue? What are you thinking about? Get up, it’s time to stand for class."

Zhang Ziyue whispered to her from the side, warning that the teacher would criticize her again for having no respect for authority if she knew even a little, she’d think she could show off.

She snapped back to reality, realizing that she had just been daydreaming. With a slight furrow in her brows, she decided to look for an opportunity to investigate it further.

She stood up and then sat down again.

Perhaps because the seat was cramped, she sat at an angle, with her feet in the aisle. Her slender porcelain-white fingers skillfully twirled a pen as her eyes lifted slightly, half-listening to the lesson in a detached manner.

The next day, she stuffed a plastic bag into her backpack and requested leave from Xiao Ye before departing from First Middle School.

She walked and texted, passing a street when a conspicuous car stopped next to her.

"Boss, get in." Mo Fan rolled down the window, offering a perfect angle to admire her long legs.

Her fingers, cold from the chill, opened the car door and got in, fastening the seat belt. The car soon sped away.

She looked down at her phone, where Nan Jingchen, whom she hadn’t heard from in months, had sent her a message. She had thought he died in his laboratory.

[The stone has been separated into three elements, useful for medicine, ammunition, and, frankly, I feel like living a human life...]

Yun Yue: [Aren’t you human?]

Nan Jingchen: [Is this a life a human leads? I’ve been in the underground lab for over half a year, unaware of what’s happening outside. Anyway, I’ve created that thing, completed the task, so I’m coming out. Arrange it for me.]

Yun Yue raised her eyebrows. Was he finally seeing sense?

Did he finally want to see the light of day?

She had thought he’d spend his whole life in that secret, dimly-lit villa base.

Yun Yue: [It’s quite dangerous outside, are you sure you want to come out?]

Now was not a good time to emerge.

Nan Jingchen: [What’s the danger? It’s not like it’ll be the end of the world the moment I step out.]

She shifted position, resting her right hand on the car door, her body leaning as she teasingly responded to his messages [Don’t you watch the news? Indeed, you aren’t living a human life, even a hermit dwelling in the mountains would have caught wind of the news by now.]

Nan Jingchen: [...]

Normally so preoccupied that he neglected his appearance, he had just shaved after a bath, and without a girlfriend, his only contact was with her. It had been months since he last touched his phone, which lay gathering dust in a corner, leaving him no time to keep up with the news.

With skepticism, he opened Weibo to see that the top trending topic was a celebrity divorce... it was only in the fifth spot that he found the latest official report.

[Damn, such a big deal and I had no idea. Seems it’s safer for me to stay home. Has the storm passed yet?]

Yun Yue: [It’s relatively safe. Just be careful, and Xiao Bai will sort out your protection.]

Nan Jingchen: [Heart.]

Leaving the city center, the car headed south.

"Boss, after your college entrance exams, are we going to move our base to Beijing?" Mo Fan couldn’t wait any longer.

Beijing was brimming with wealthy scions waiting for her to cause a stir.

"Mmm, I’ve been planning that recently. I’m having people scout locations to see where would be best," Yun Yue, her slender fingers flipping through her phone, quipped, "When you guys move, try to keep it quiet. We can’t be startling everyone in Beijing."

"Alright, I promise to keep it down, just for you," Mo Fan grinned, curling his lip.

"When have they ever done anything low key? Besides, with such a big event as relocation, they have to invite those people over for a visit and a few drinks."

Yun Yue gave her a sideways glance, figuring she had probably planned it out long ago.

Bamboo Garden.

The most expensive suburb in Lan City.

Evergreen all year round, with fresh air and a strong scent of bamboo wood pervading.

The bamboo here is incredibly thick. In the summer, the dense foliage can block out much of the heat—definitely a great spot to escape the summer warmth.

It’s April now, springtime, and many bamboo shoots have already started to break through the soil, drawing lots of people from the city to come dig for shoots.

But they can only dig around the outer areas of Bamboo Garden; the interior is off-limits.

The car drove along the cement road toward the inside. Due to speed limits, Mo Fan kept his speed at 30 miles an hour.

"Bai Hui, are there really luxury cars like this in Lan City? This car costs fifty million per vehicle," Shen Lin called out to Bai Hui, who was bending over to dig for shoots.

She had arrived in Lan City yesterday and planned to take Shen Xuan to Beijing for an assessment. Her father-in-law loved the shoots from Bamboo Garden, so she came every year to dig some up. It was usually so secluded that she seldom saw any cars around, but just then, she raised her head and saw a luxury car.

Such a car was rarely seen even in Beijing, let alone one that cost fifty million with Lan City plates. It was a rare sight indeed.

Bai Hui looked up and just happened to see Yun Yue, who was in the passenger seat wearing a First Middle School uniform.

Her eyes widened. Only seniors would be wearing school uniforms at First Middle School now. The girl, with her hair tied up in a bun and wearing a mask, was leaning casually against the car window, looking at the scenery with a carefree expression in her eyes.

Yun Yue suddenly came to mind.

"Is that really her? How could she be here?" Bai Hui frowned, focusing on the fleeting figure, "How much did you say that car was?"

"Fifty million," Shen Lin glanced at her, "Who did you see?"

As the car moved away, the figure disappeared from her sight. A fifty million car—even Lin Xiang couldn’t afford that. Maybe she had seen wrong.

The car then entered the inner area of Bamboo Garden, where all the high-status individuals lived. It couldn’t be Yun Yue.

"No, I saw it wrong," Bai Hui shook her head and planned to ask Shen Xuan later. She smiled and said, "Let’s dig quickly, the shoots in the ground are the tastiest, let’s dig up more to take back."

"Winter shoots are usually the best, but after what happened last year, no one dared to come out. Though those undeveloped shoots underground are also delicious."

Shen Lin laughed, "My father-in-law, he loves these shoots, and keeps mentioning Shen Xuan. Once she’s in Beijing, I’ll take her to see him."

"That’s because Shen Xuan is lucky to have such a good aunt like you," Bai Hui chose her words carefully.

Shen Lin curled her lip into a smile, "That’s also because she works hard for herself. Who wouldn’t like a niece like her?"

The two chatted idly while their servants, who they had brought along, did the work. They were there just for the novelty; the physically demanding tasks were left to the servants.

Yun Yue was leaning out the window, squinting her eyes, and enjoying the bamboo-scented breeze, her hair blowing messily in the wind, occasionally reaching out to feel the breeze.

Mo Fan glanced at her several times, smiling without a word.

The boss, after all, was just an 18-year-old kid. Although she was cold-hearted and ruthless when on missions, there were times when she still had a childlike spirit.

The car drove into the inner area, which contained only a handful of villas. She drove a bit further inside and stopped outside a bamboo building.

They got out of the car and walked along a stone-paved path into the bamboo building, where the scent of tea filled the air, and the layout was meticulous. A Buddha statue was placed in the lobby, with three sticks of incense having burned just a third of the way down.

"Old Man Bai," Yun Yue called lazily as she walked over to fiddle with the decorations next to the statue.

"You little monkey! Stop that right now!" An old man with a gray beard walked out from the inside. Seeing her tampering with his treasures, he quickly stepped up his pace, rushed over, and snatched it from her hands.
