Chapter 279 - 279 – 279 Points of Luck
“Sister Yao, I swear that I definitely didn’t mean to go against you and plot against you. It’s just that… However, I’ll explain it to Sister Yao later, okay? Because I don’t know how to explain it to you for the time being.”
Chu Ranran looked conflicted. She looked at Li Muyao with sincerity and reliance.
“Alright, then I’ll just shoot whatever I want later. It’s not my money anyway.
However, will the stone I bid for end up in your hands?”
Li Muyao wasn’t sure if the raw jade stone would have good luck.
However, according to Li Muyao’s observations over the past half a year, there was a high probability that the raw gemstones that were auctioned off would produce jade due to good luck.
“No, so as long as Sister Yao bids randomly and bids a high price, someone will pay.”
Chu Ranran wasn’t surprised at all that her stepmother, Chen Jiao, suddenly appeared at home. On the contrary, Chu Lili was happy and excited. If Chu Ranran hadn’t found out about her fate through Grandma Huo, Chu Ranran wouldn’t have believed that such a thing could happen in the world. However, Chu Ranran was grateful to Mingyu for letting her meet Sister Yao and Cai Mao.
“Yes.”
Li Muyao didn’t know what Chu Ranran was up to, but seeing that Chu Ranran had returned to her familiar appearance, she didn’t ask any more questions. Instead, she went to Huo Jiling’s side and chatted with him. She also asked a few questions about the shop.
After chatting for a while, Li Muyao realized that Huo Jiling didn’t seem to be familiar with this place. Instead, Huo Jiling started talking about Li Muyao’s childhood.
The more they talked, the more surprised Li Muyao became. I don’t think even a private detective would be able to investigate in such detail, right? I told you that when I first saw you, I felt that you looked familiar, but at the same time, there was something strange about you, but I could not put my finger on it. You know me too well, even better than my two younger brothers.”
If Huo Jiling hadn’t revealed that he was Li Muyao’s baby kiss partner, Li Muyao would have put a gunny sack on him and interrogated him privately or called the police.
Even Li Yahua, who didn’t have much contact with Li Muyao, knew some of her preferences. Li Muyao wondered if Huo Jiling had leaked them. However, when he remembered that they were rivals, he dispelled this idea.
Huo Jiling nodded with a smile.” I did know all your preferences before I met you.” I think Mooncake must know that your father and the Hunts used to keep in touch. Both sides would write letters to each other, right?”
Li Muyao nodded. When her father was alive, the family would often receive letters. In a month, there would be seven or eight letters, and sometimes more than ten letters. Some of them were old colleagues from the guards, some were friends, and there was also the Huo family.
However, she, her mother, and her two younger brothers never asked who their father wrote to.
“Don’t tell me that my dad wrote to you!”
Li Muyao didn’t think it was possible. She believed that her father would write to Huo Jiling’s father or grandmother.
“Why not? Uncle Li would basically write to me once or twice. All we talked about was you. That’s why I came back to Yangcheng to see you.”
Huo Jiling had known that he had a fiancée since he was a child. He had also learned about Li Muyao from Uncle Li, but at that time, Huo Jiling had no intention of getting married to his fiancée.
In this day and age, who would take the betrothal seriously?
