Chapter 679: Furninna: Life is like a play, and a play is like life
The next morning, the sun shone on the gate of Momang Palace. Shao Yun, Funina and Youla stood at the door, making final preparations for action.
Shao Yun looked around and his eyes fell on Funina and Youla. He took a deep breath and asked, "Are you all ready?"
Funina was the first to respond, and said to Shao Yun in a very confident tone: "The aspects I am responsible for are ready! I spent a lot of effort last night to ask Violet to give Eula a holiday, so you must not let me down!"
After saying that, she even winked at Shao Yun. It was a bit provocative, after all, his affairs delayed her schedule.
Shao Yun felt relieved to see that Funina was so confident. He turned to look at Eula.
Seeing that Youla was frowning and a little anxious, Shao Yun quickly comforted her: "Okay, Youla, don't be so sad, smile!"
Eula forced a smile, but that smile was uglier than crying.
Then her face quickly tensed up again, and she said bitterly: "I really can't laugh, I'm so nervous!"
Seeing this, Shao Yun knew that it was useless to say more. After all, time was pressing. He decided not to delay any longer and make the final mobilization.
"Okay... Then let's proceed according to the plan. Eula, you stay at home and wait. I'll go to Baisong Town to inform Navia."
"If Navia is convinced by me in just a few words, then we can save ourselves a lot of trouble. But if Navia really goes to Eula to verify as I predicted, then everything will go according to plan!"
"Everyone cheer up, I believe we will succeed!"
Seeing that Shao Yun did not mention her, Fu Ningna waved her hand vigorously at Shao Yun and asked, "Hey, Shao Yun, what about me? How could you forget me!"
When Shao Yun heard Fu Ningna's voice, he turned around and looked her up and down.
Then, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a faint smile, and said: "Oh, you. You have two choices, one is to stay in Mo Mang Palace and wait for me to come back, the other is..."
However, before Shao Yun could say the second choice, Fu Nina interrupted him impatiently and said, "I choose the first one! I will stay in Mo Mang Palace and wait for you to come back."
After all, when Shao Yun was away, her safety depended entirely on Villette.
Seeing that Fu Ningna made such a decisive choice, Shao Yun just nodded and said, "Well, since you have made up your mind, let's do it. When I come back, we will go to Luze Coffee Shop together to wait for news."
……
It was a sunny morning at the construction site in Baisong Town.
Navia got up early as usual, washed up, and hurried to the construction site of Baisong Dam.
Navia was in a particularly good mood today. She didn't know why. Maybe it was because of what Shao Yun said to her yesterday.
In short, she always felt that something special would happen today.
However, what Navia never expected was that good luck would come so quickly.
Not long after she arrived at the construction site, an unexpected surprise befell her.
Just as Navia was sitting in a chair, concentrating on watching the construction workers building the Baisong Dam, suddenly, Shao Yun's voice came from not far away.
"Navia!"
Hearing this shout, Navia suddenly raised her head and looked in the direction of the voice, with an indescribable expectation in her heart.
When Navia saw Shao Yun appear in front of her, she immediately understood why she had been in an inexplicably good mood all day.
She knew something exciting was going to happen.
Navia stood up from the stool without hesitation and trotted to Shao Yun.
With a genuine smile on her face, she greeted him, "Partner, what's wrong? Did you find the donor?"
This sentence was originally just a casual guess by Navia. After all, in her impression, even if Shao Yun's work efficiency was very high, it would be unlikely for him to have such a major breakthrough in such a short period of time.
However, what Navia never expected was that her guess was so accurate!
Seeing this, Shao Yun pretended to be surprised, widened his eyes, and said, "Wow, Navia, you are such a genius! You guessed it right away! I wanted to create some mystery for you."
Navia was shocked by Shao Yun's reaction. She never expected that her casual remark would come true.
She opened her mouth in astonishment and said in disbelief: "No way, I was just guessing!"
Shao Yun couldn't help laughing when he saw Navia's surprised expression.
"Yes, it's just what you thought. I really found the donor! The mysterious donor!"
Seeing that Shao Yun had really found the mysterious donor, Navia was so excited that her body trembled slightly, and she stammered, "Ah? This... is this... true?"
Seeing this, Shao Yun crossed his arms and answered firmly, "It's absolutely true! You will never guess who the donor I found is!"
Navia's curiosity was completely aroused, and she couldn't wait to ask, "Who is it? Tell me quickly!"
Shao Yun took a deep breath and answered truthfully as planned: "Eula, the Eula you know."
Hearing this name, every little detail about Eula flashed through Navia's mind.
It's true that Eula spoke with a Mondstadt accent, but she didn't look particularly wealthy in the way she was dressed.
How could such a person be the mysterious donor?
"Eula! You are kidding!" Navia's voice unconsciously rose an octave, and an exaggerated and distrustful expression appeared on her face.
Shao Yun shook his head helplessly, waved his hand and said, "When I found out that the mysterious donor was her, my expression was exactly the same as yours now, but that's the fact, we can't help but believe it."
Although Shao Yun said it so confidently, Navia still felt that it was all too unreal. She murmured to herself: "But, Eula doesn't look like..."
Shao Yun interrupted Navia's guess, then revealed a mysterious look and continued in a low voice: "The situation here is much more complicated than you imagined, but the fact is that this money was indeed donated by Eula."
He paused for a moment, observing Navia's reaction, and then added: "I promised Eula not to spread this matter, because she hopes to start a new life in Fontaine."
"And you happened to be the one who lent her a helping hand when she needed it the most, so she decided to repay your kindness with a spring of gratitude."
"You don't have to worry about whether the source of this money is legitimate. I have already investigated and this money is absolutely clean."
(Actually, it’s not that clean…)
"Eula also specifically told me not to let anyone know about this. She just wanted to live a peaceful life."
After hearing what Shao Yun said, Navia's expression became very complicated.
She was silent for a while, then she whispered to herself, "So that's how it is..."
Seeing that Navia didn't seem to have any more questions to ask him, Shao Yun decided not to stay any longer and prepared to leave as planned.
"I have said everything I need to say, and it is time for me to go. I hope that after you know the truth, you will not get too excited, and do not interfere in Eula's life."
After saying that, Shao Yun turned and left, leaving Navia standing there alone, looking at his back getting farther and farther away.
Although Navia wanted to just let it go, she knew that this was definitely not her style.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Shao Yun, I still have to ask Miss Youla..."
……
With the intention of verifying the truth, Navia rushed to Fontaine without stopping and came to the apartment where Eula lived.
After all, this apartment was chosen by her specifically for Eula, so she was quite familiar with it.
Standing in front of the door, Navia calmed herself down a bit, tidied her clothes, then knocked on the door gently, and asked softly, "Eula, are you home?"
At this time, Eula, who had been anxiously waiting at home, jumped up from the sofa immediately after hearing the knock on the door.
She walked quickly to the door, took a deep breath, patted her cheeks, and tried to make herself look more energetic.
Then, she slowly opened the door, with a curious expression on her face, looking at Navia who suddenly appeared at her door, and asked in surprise: "What's wrong? What's wrong? Did something happen?"
Looking at the kind woman in front of her, Navia couldn't help but feel a warm current in her heart.
She knew that Eula didn't want her to repay her kindness, but Navia's conscience told her that she couldn't just accept other people's help without saying anything in return.
"Eula, I know everything." Navia's voice was a little low, but full of gratitude and sincerity.
Hearing this, Youla knew that Shao Yun's plan had begun.
On the surface, she pretended to know nothing and continued to ask in confusion: "Navia, what are you talking about? I don't quite understand what you mean."
Navia stared at the other person closely, her eyes revealing a complex emotion.
"Why are you still pretending to be nice to me? I have already found out everything about your donation to the Thorn Rose Society!"
Hearing this, Eula saw that everything was going according to Shao Yun's plan.
She immediately put away her original calmness, pretended to be angry, and said to Navia: "Miss Navia, I'm so sorry, I have something very important to deal with now, please excuse me!"
After saying that, she turned and left without looking back, leaving Navia alone with a look of astonishment on her face.
……
At the same time, outside the Luze Café in Fontaine, the sunlight shone through the parasols onto the ground, creating patches of mottled light and shadow.
Shao Yun and Funingna sat face to face in the sunshade, waiting for the next plan.
Compared to the calmness at the beginning, Funina seemed a little restless at this time.
She fiddled with the cup in her hand, frowned slightly, and asked worriedly: "Shao Yun, do you think your plan can really succeed?"
"Can you really explain these billions of Mora with just a few words?"
Shao Yun seemed confident. He waved his hand, signaling Funina not to panic too much.
"What's so difficult about that? That's the truth. We just let Navia see the truth we want her to see. My credibility, plus your guarantee, this is simply perfect!"
"I said the same thing. If Navia asks you why you gave Eula so much money, you just need to pretend that I have money and I am happy to do it. The rest is none of your business."
Furninna forced herself to calm down, then said: "Well, let's just treat it as a performance. Life is like a play, and a play is like life..."
