Chapter 3 Bring the money
Hearing Xu Mingyuan's unfriendly tone, Yang Zhi walked to the door timidly. He neither went in nor out, but leaned against the door, blocking half of his body.

"Tsk, come here!" Xu Mingyuan waved impatiently, looked down at the woman in the photo, and then looked at her again, "Your mother gave you the name Xin Yalin, right?"

"Hmm? No..."

Yang Zhi shook his head in confusion.

"No? Then is your biological father's last name Xin?"

I vaguely remember that Xu Jun asked me to call Yang Zhi's mother Aunt Yang, so it seems that she should take her mother's surname.

"My father's last name is Zhang."

"Hmm? Really? Where is your father?"

Xu Mingyuan asked again casually.

"Gone."

"No more? Why not?"

"He said he did something wrong..."

Yang Zhi continued to answer in a low voice.

"Gone because of something wrong?" Xu Mingyuan didn't understand what Yang Zhi meant, but seeing her gloomy expression, he immediately understood, "Oh, your father was 'slapped'?"

Xu Mingyuan stretched out his finger to his temple and made a shooting gesture.

"..."

Yang Zhi didn't answer, she just wanted to cry. She felt that Xu Mingyuan talked too much today.

Seeing her gloomy expression, Xu Mingyuan realized that he was probably right. He immediately gave her a thumbs up and said in admiration, "She is a ruthless person. Tsk tsk, what a ruthless person! Not only did she ruin your father's life, but she also got my father involved. Next time I see her, I must learn from her and practice PUA techniques."

"..."

Yang Zhi pursed her lips. She didn't know what PUA was, but she knew it was definitely not a good thing.

If it wasn't his own mother, Uncle Xu would definitely not be without money to pay for Xu Mingyuan's medical expenses.

If you think about it this way, it is indeed my mother who is sorry to Uncle Xu.

The little head was full of random thoughts and he got into a dead end.

She had tried hard to hold back her tears at the police station today, but now she couldn't hold them back anymore.

Seeing Yang Zhi's tears falling, Xu Mingyuan felt that what he said seemed a bit hurtful. This little girl is introverted and sensitive. I hope she won't jump off the building one day.

Xu Mingyuan did not mention the matter again. He and Xu Jun had no feelings for each other, but he was the old man's son and his biological father after all. If he had the ability, he would definitely find a way to get him out.

But forget about it now, just let him squat inside and calm down.

"Is that so? Do you have any relatives with the last name Xin? Hey, come on, come on, I haven't said anything yet. You have nothing to cry about. Take back your tears."

"nor."

Yang Zhi choked, secretly wiped the corners of her eyes, and kept shaking her head.

The surname Xin is still very rare. If there is one, she must have remembered it.

Xu Mingyuan was silent. He walked to Yang Zhi with the photo and looked left and right.

It was not until Yang Zhi was a little frightened that Xu Mingyuan said, "Lift up your bangs."

"Untie your hair tie."

"hiss……"

Xu Mingyuan took a breath of cold air.

"This is too similar!" Xu Mingyuan was secretly shocked in his heart, "It can't be such a coincidence?"

When Yang Zhi let her hair down, she looked 60% like him, if not 70% similar.

However, the temperament of the person is so different from the impression I have of him, it's like heaven and earth are different.

If it weren't for her mother's smile, Xu Mingyuan really wouldn't have thought the two of them were in the same mind.

"Hey, did you see how your mother smiles in the photo? Try imitating her..."

"Why don't you laugh? Just laugh for a moment. You're shaking your ass..."

"Don't look around. Keep your eyes calm and confident..."

"It's self-confidence, not inferiority. Do you know what self-confidence is? If I can be bolder, can I still eat people?"

"Forget it, just stay aside."

Xu Mingyuan felt that Yang Zhi's temperament was getting worse and worse, so he simply waved her away. Yang Zhi, as if she had been pardoned, slipped back into her room without looking back, and closed the door with a "click", followed by the sound of the door being locked.

Xin Yalin, who set up the trap for him, came from a wealthy family and was already very wealthy in the 1990s, otherwise Xu Mingyuan would not have been fooled.

On the other hand, Xiao Yangzhi's mother is so poor that she is about to sell her daughter. Even if she wins the lottery a hundred times, she still cannot touch the soles of Xin Yalin's shoes.

If Xu Jun hadn't helped her and her daughter, Yang Zhi would have had to live under a bridge in two years, let alone be a child from an ordinary family.

Xu Mingyuan didn't delve into it any further. Most beautiful people look alike, while ugly people each have their own merits. There are too many beautiful people in the world who look alike.

The night outside the window deepens and the lights come on. Although it is not as gorgeous as it will be twenty years later, it also has its own flavor.

Xu Mingyuan sat down against the bed, feeling the cool evening breeze and watching the lights go out one by one. His mind had already drifted far away.

When I opened my eyes again, it was daylight.

Turning around, I saw Yang Zhi sticking his head out and knocking gently on the door. The sound was so small, like a mouse gnawing on wood.

Xu Mingyuan was very unhappy because he didn't wake up naturally. He stared at Xiao Yangzhi, whose eyes were still red, and said, "Why are you knocking on the door so early in the morning? Can't you see I'm sleeping?"

"It's past eight o'clock."

Yang Zhi shrank her neck and mumbled softly. She didn't notice it yesterday, but now that it was bright, she felt that Xu Mingyuan's eyes were a little intimidating, like the dean who always had a stern face.

"What's wrong with me?"

"Eat?"

"Bring it here."

Xu Mingyuan waved his hand and sent her away.

"Oh."

Yang Zhi nodded, and went to bring a bowl of porridge and a plate of pickles to the table, as well as two buns bought from outside.

Xu Mingyuan had a box lunch in the detention center yesterday, and after eating some porridge and pickles this morning, he still felt empty after taking two bites.

"Is life so miserable at home? No more food?"

Xu Mingyuan, who was half full, saw Yang Zhi secretly eating a steamed bun in the kitchen. His eyebrows wrinkled and he couldn't help asking.

"besides."

Yang Zhi said while wiping the corner of his mouth.

"How many"

"There's also half a bag of rice, three noodles, seven eggs, and half a head of cabbage..."

Yang Zhi quickly searched the kitchen and reported the number to Xu Mingyuan.

"Who asked you this? I asked how much money is left."

Xu Mingyuan frowned. How come this silly kid couldn't think flexibly?
"Oh, there are still three hundred and seventy-eight yuan..."

Yang Zhi felt that she needed to be more tactful, so she quickly took out a small purse from her bag, which contained neatly folded banknotes.

"Okay, bring it here."

Xu Mingyuan didn't consider himself an outsider. He took out all the banknotes and left her a few coins.

"Go buy ten steamed buns, two bowls of tofu pudding, and two bowls of soy milk. Remember to go to the Luming breakfast shop across from the community. I haven't eaten there for a long time and I miss it."

As Xu Mingyuan spoke, he handed over the 1.5 yuan bill, thought for a moment, then took out two ten-yuan bills and said, "Buy another pack of cigarettes."

"Oh."

Yang Zhi didn't know what rejection meant, so she just went about running errands submissively.

Xu Mingyuan went to the bathroom to wash up and shaved the hair on his mouth.

The non-mainstream bowl-cut hair he had when he was young has been shaved into a flat top at the hospital. At first glance, he looks like a refreshing and sunny young man.

He used a mirror to look at the wound on the back of his head. The stitches had been removed, and a two-centimeter cut could be seen remaining in the bald area.

The wound is not big and can be covered by slightly longer hair, but there is a big blue bump that has not disappeared yet and it hurts when touched.

Xu Mingyuan once had such an experience. It was dark and raining, and he was bumped by someone and hit the curb. He only stayed in the hospital for two days and was fine. Who would have thought that he almost became a vegetable in this life.

Xu Mingyuan searched the house again and finally found two cardboard boxes under the bed in the master bedroom.

Inside were some of Xu Mingyuan's clothes and some miscellaneous items he had collected since childhood, and nothing else useful.

Xu Mingyuan couldn't help but sigh, then put it back neatly.
