Chapter 684 296 Pure Love is Pure to Everyone!_3
Her eyes drooped slightly, "Actually, I'm quite envious of Nuannuan too..."
As she spoke, she abruptly stopped, feeling it was somewhat inappropriate to say this in front of a "husband with warmth."
Xu Musen, however, laughed heartily.
"Of course, all the women in the world should envy Nuannuan, who wouldn't with such an outstanding boyfriend like hers?"
Zhu Yulan looked at him somewhat speechlessly: "Shameless..."
But Zhu Yulan was genuinely a bit envious; the guy was truly quite good.
"Yeah, you're both lucky, at least you always have someone by your side no matter what..."
Zhu Yulan's heart grew even more sour, having left home for so long without any family members coming to visit her.
As she wallowed in sorrow, her wrist was suddenly grabbed.
Xu Musen took an envelope from his bosom and stuffed it into her hand.
Zhu Yulan pinched it: "Money?"
"Should be."
"I told you, you don't have to give me money now..."
"This isn't from me."
Xu Musen smiled and interrupted: "It's from your little employee."
"Yang... Xiao Tao?"
Zhu Yulan froze, holding the envelope in her hand.
Yang Xiaotao's family also ran a company, but her parents were still very strict with her spending money, otherwise, she wouldn't be working with her every day.
The thickness of the envelope suggested she must have emptied her little piggy bank.
Zhu Yulan's hands trembled slightly.
Xu Musen then smiled and said, "She contacted me last night. She said she doesn't know what happened to you, but she's worried about you and wants to help in any way she can. She's just afraid you might feel awkward accepting her kindness, so she asked me to give this to you. Open it and see."
Zhu Yulan was silent as she opened the envelope to find indeed a lot of money, even some coins. The silly girl must have taken out all her savings.
There was also a sticky note inside.
On it was Yang Xiaotao's neat handwriting.
"Elder Sister Zhu, I haven't seen you at school recently. I know you might be going through some unhappy times. I'm not sure what to say, but I want you to know, I've always had faith in Sister Zhu, and I believe you will come back someday.
Don't think too much about this money, I just thought it might help you... Sister Zhu, I miss you, and when you're back and running the company, just give me a little extra salary, haha!
Wait for you to come back, and I'll work for you again! ε٩(๑>₃<)۶з
Your little employee, Xiao Tao~♡"
A tear slowly fell from her cheek, landing on the sticky note, and fearing the words would blur, she carefully placed it into her bosom.
"You see, the world isn't that bad after all, there's always someone caring for you, in places you can't see."
Xu Musen reached out and gently wiped away the tears for his good friend.
Zhu Yulan felt the warmth at the corners of her eyes, her emotions surging in that instant.
She buried her face into Xu Musen's chest and finally cried out loud.
Crying out all the grievances she had been harboring for so long.
Crying because of the hard-earned warmth she felt now.
Xu Musen didn't say much; crying out meant she was starting to see things more clearly.
And after all, what are a good friend's pectorals for, if not for his sisters to lean on?
Shortly after, Zhu Yulan emerged from his embrace, looking at the smiling Xu Musen.
For a brief moment, she was dazzled, but then it all turned into a tearful, yet smiling expression.
She took a deep breath, treasuring the sticky note and the envelope in her bag.
"Perked up now?"
Xu Musen asked her with a smile.
"I've never been down, okay!"
Zhu Yulan was still sniffling, but her eyes had already dispelled the exhaustion of the past, as ambitious as when they first met.
"But I've got my little employee to support; I need to start making money, big money!"
She stood at the edge of the overpass, shouting loudly towards the busy traffic below.
Gone was the heiress's posture, gone was the heiress's authority.
But at that moment, she felt incredibly free.
This was what it felt like to be trusted.
"That's right, this is the Sister Zhu who wanted to keep me for a hundred thousand at our first meeting."
Xu Musen laughed heartily, recalling their first encounter.
Zhu Yulan's hard-earned serious expression was instantly undone by Xu Musen, her face blushing as she looked at him.
"You're spoken for, a cheating scumbag, that's what you are!"
"I am the pure god of true love."
"Yeah right, pure with every other person, aren't you?"
The two glanced at each other and couldn't help but brake into laughter.
They continued on their way to school.
But not long after they left the overpass, in that yellow Lamborghini, Huang Tianming, looking at the photo inside.
It was exactly the scene of Zhu Yulan throwing herself into Xu Musen's arms; he felt a lush green looming over his head!
Damn it!
Fury made him smash his phone, grabbing the bottle of liquor from the passenger seat for a swig.
At this point, he couldn't care less; drunk driving was nothing out of the ordinary for a guy like him.
"Damned couple... Damn it, you're forcing my hand!"
He roared off, nearly hitting someone at the intersection, earning a barrage of curses.
However, after he had gone.
Just across the street.
A black business car similarly rolled down its window.
Zhu Xianglan was also holding two photographs, one of Zhu Yulan diving into Xu Musen's arms.
The other captured Zhu Yulan with tearful eyes, but with a look of confidence as she shouted spiritedly.
Zhu Xianglan looked at the two photos, a flurry of memories seemingly coming back to her at that moment.
After a while, she grinned.
"That's my good little sister..."
An Nannan just laughed with a heh.
What do you think?
