Chapter 165: Ji Mofeng
“If she’s well, then that’s good.” At the same time, Yin Lingyan in America was also looking at the night scenery outside the window, thinking that her older brother could see Mu Qingran again after returning to China, and she gave a bitter smile. Thinking of Han Wuyu, her lips twitched slightly, and in spoken language, it meant: If he’s well, then that’s good.
Yin Lingchen listened to Han Wuyu’s words and was speechless for a moment. Why must two people who love each other be so cruelly separated?
After parting with Han Wuyu, Yin Lingchen rushed back to America overnight. Yin Lingyan did not sleep well the entire night; she had a strange dream.
In the dream, Yin Lingyan was walking when she suddenly saw a figure appear before her. However, she couldn’t see the face clearly. She stepped forward to touch it, but unexpectedly, the figure suddenly disappeared. Then, a pain came from behind her. In a daze, she turned her head and saw a familiar face—Mu Xingchen.
Then, she was startled awake, covered in sweat, and still breathing with lingering fear.
She looked at the sky, which was gradually brightening. She sighed, “How could this be so absurd?”
After staring blankly for a while, she got up. Hearing the sounds from outside, she walked out and thought she was dreaming again. She actually saw Yin Lingchen, who hadn’t returned all night. Was this a dream?
She rubbed her eyes in a daze, “Older brother, is it really you?”
Yin Lingchen turned and gave Yin Lingyan a gentle smile. “You’re awake so early? Breakfast is ready.”
At this moment, Yin Lingchen was like a mother, taking care of household chores for her. And what was her real mother doing? Enjoying family bliss, perhaps. This daughter of hers had probably long been forgotten.
She felt a slight emotion and ran to hug Yin Lingchen. “Brother, thank you, thank you so much.”
For so long, he had been the one to give her warmth, the one to take care of her. Bound by blood, Yin Lingchen felt heartache for Yin Lingyan.
“Silly girl, why thank your brother?” He kindly stroked Yin Lingyan’s hair. At this moment, he was like a father. Her older brother had always shouldered the responsibility of their parents, which also made Yin Lingyan feel a bit of heartache for him.
Both he and she had no father or mother. With just the two siblings, she didn’t know how her older brother made money. “Older brother, how do you have so much money?”
Enough to pay her tuition, buy her pretty clothes, and give her a lot of living expenses.
Yin Lingchen’s expression was not good. He looked at Yin Lingyan with concern. She was too smart. Could the matter of **** no longer be hidden from her?
“This money was earned legitimately, don’t worry.” In the end, Yin Lingchen could only pretend to understand her implication as earning money through illicit means.
Yin Lingyan nodded thoughtfully, glanced at Yin Lingchen, and knew he didn’t want to say more. As smart as she was, how could she not understand his unspoken words?
She knew that since her older brother found her, his demeanor and the time he took her for training showed he was no ordinary person. Han Wuyu must have some connection with him. This made Yin Lingyan recall the gunshot wound on Han Wuyu’s chest before they were in America.
But no matter what, she was willing to bear it with him. However, he was the one who let go first. What could she do?
“Okay,” Yin Lingyan shrugged indifferently. Some things were fine to guess about; there was no need to point them out.
Carrying the manuscript paper and pen needed for class, she went to school in a good mood. She wasn’t sure if it was because of her brother or that dream, but she always felt that a life with purpose shouldn’t be filled with sadness.
However, on the way to school, Yin Lingyan encountered something that had nothing to do with her. The light was clearly green, but that car just sped through recklessly, almost hitting her. Although the brakes were applied in time, Yin Lingyan was inexplicably scolded.
