CHAPTER 398: CHAPTER 398: CAN YOU FORGIVE ME?

But in the end, Yun Sisi still smiled and said, "I also hope Sister can grow old together with Cheng Lie."

After a pause, she added, "By the way, Sister, are you really not coming to my wedding? I even prepared a piece about us."

A piece? Yun Shifei found this a bit strange.

Yun Sisi nodded, "Yes, about Mom and Dad, about you, about Brother Mu."

She thought, at the time, many celebrities would attend the wedding. If the Yun Family didn’t come, many people would look down on her. She must showcase her unique background to gain respect in the future.

Now, she has no way out, and can only plan three steps for every one she takes.

Yun Shifei smiled, "I won’t be going to the wedding. Do you need help with the piece?"

"That’s okay then." Yun Sisi seemed a bit regretful.

After Yun Shifei left, Mu Jiayu snorted, "Sisi, Yun Shifei is really becoming audacious now; she’s not even afraid of us anymore."

The current Yun Shifei is indeed different from before.

She is more open and generous, maybe due to the nurturing environment. Yun Sisi is so envious. But soon, her good days are coming too.

Meanwhile, Sun Xiaoqi also mused, "Shifei, I didn’t expect we wouldn’t drink each other’s wedding wine first, but instead Yun Sisi’s."

Yun Shifei shook her head at this.

The hustle and bustle of the Mu Family had nothing to do with her, she was always worried about Cheng Lie internally.

The days slipped past silently, one after another.

Originally, she wanted to tidy up the shop, but she didn’t have the energy anymore, working haphazardly. Every time she closed her eyes, she thought about Cheng Lie.

The anxiety inside her kept deepening, so she asked her father for Qin Chi Jin’s number and called to inquire about where Cheng Lie went.

Qin Chi Jin was a bit surprised to receive Yun Shifei’s call, but upon hearing the young girl’s timid mention of Cheng Lie, he said, "Don’t worry, he won’t be in any trouble."

"Why do you say that?" Yun Shifei remained skeptical.

Qin Chi Jin smiled, "My people are by his side, even though there are only a few, their combat capability is stronger than most. If they encounter danger, covering his escape is more than enough."

What Qin Chi Jin said, Yun Shifei believed.

She knew he wouldn’t lie to her.

So she said, "I understand, thank you, Mr. Qin."

Qin Chi Jin acknowledged with a hum and hung up the call, but as he looked at the information Zhao Pan had sent him half a month ago, it seemed true that Cheng Lie had been out of contact for too long.

If he hadn’t been so confident in his people’s abilities, he might have sent someone to search already.

However, after a while, the phone rang again; it was from an unfamiliar number.

"Mr. Qin..." On the other end was Zhao Pan sounding weak, "Something happened."

Qin Chi Jin’s eyes narrowed slightly.

"What happened?"

"That day, when we accompanied Mr. Qin to the woods to look for his father’s whereabouts, our people suddenly betrayed us and even attempted to kill us. Cheng Lie delayed them, but nobody expected an explosion later."

After the explosion, he was swept into the river by the shockwave, lost consciousness, and when he woke up, he was on a deserted riverbank.

He tried to find Cheng Lie, but after searching everywhere nearby, he couldn’t find him.

His leg was injured, and he could only walk after resting for two days. In the deep forest, it took him a long time to find the way out, and he passed out as soon as he saw someone.

Going through all that, he only woke up two days ago.

Zhao Pan’s phone was waterlogged and unusable. Trying to get a new one was difficult since the people here were too poor to afford it.

Plus, there was poor signal in the woods.

Finally, Zhao Pan limped for a kilometer to the nearest phone booth to call Qin Chi Jin.

Qin Chi Jin furrowed his brow; in his many years of business, his subordinates were always loyal, and there’d never been such a betrayal.

He never imagined that Cheng Lie would encounter such an event.

After several days with no contact, Zhao Pan searched everywhere nearby, but couldn’t see any sign of Cheng Lie. For a moment, Qin Chi Jin couldn’t help but wonder if Cheng Lie was dead.

This thought startled even himself.

If he imagined it, if Cheng Lie really died, what would happen?

The young girl who just called him asking about Cheng Lie would cry herself to death.

Qin Chi Jin knew the hardship Cheng Lie suffered to get to where he was now, the price he paid.

After pondering, Qin Chi Jin immediately instructed his people to dispatch a rescue team to West City to search for Cheng Lie’s whereabouts.

At this moment, Yun Shifei was completely unaware of all this.

She thought, since Qin Chi Jin already assured her that Cheng Lie wouldn’t be in any trouble, she should just wait for Cheng Lie to come back with ease.

Maybe his father was alive and they needed time to reconnect?

Maybe Cheng Lie saw the scenery there was nice and wanted to stay for a few days?

All of this was possible.

She shouldn’t always think of Cheng Lie getting into trouble; if she thought too much, such negative thinking might even affect Cheng Lie.

Thinking this, Yun Shifei relaxed herself.

She never expected Mu Chengzhu would come to her the day before his wedding.

At that time, Yun Tiancheng and Xu Ya were at work, leaving only her and her child at home. She was in the study playing with the computer, uploading all the Yun Family’s products to the website.

She also needed to Photoshop images.

The workload was massive, making Yun Shifei feel dizzy after Photoshopping for so long.

Just as she was about to take a nap, the doorbell rang and woke her up.

Yun Shifei went downstairs, opened the door, and saw Mu Chengzhu standing at the entrance.

Someone who was about to be a groom tomorrow, why wasn’t he at home preparing?

"Shifei, can I ask you a question?"

Yun Shifei nodded, signaling him to go ahead.

Mu Chengzhu wanted to ask the question he had rehearsed countless times in his mind.

But when the words reached his lips, he couldn’t say it, and instead, he told her, "I won’t treat you like before. I’m sorry for everything I did before. Can you forgive me?"

Yun Shifei originally thought Mu Chengzhu wanted to bother her again, but she never expected his first words to be an apology.

Indeed, someone about to get married seems to suddenly grow up.

Perhaps this meant Mu Chengzhu had matured?

So she said, "If you truly won’t be like before, then I accept your apology."
