CHAPTER 1027: 214 ACHIEVING LITTLE, RUINING MUCH_5

Yun Ya walked quickly along the path, ignoring everyone around her. There were sounds of commotion ahead, possibly train staff apprehending someone. Yun Ya didn’t look up, but suddenly a strong hand grabbed her wrist. Reflexively, she kicked out a foot, but the next moment, someone caught her ankle, nearly causing her to lose her balance and fall into an embrace.

"It’s me." A man’s deep voice suddenly sounded.

Yun Ya abruptly lifted her gaze, and standing before her was indeed Yan Song. At this moment, he was frowning and looking at the person in her arms. Without saying a word, he turned around, pulling Yun Ya with him.

Back in the room, Yan Song locked the door behind them. Yun Ya set the child in her arms down and took off her coat, revealing a girl’s dirty little face. The girl was looking at Yan Song timidly.

Yan Song squinted. This was one of the children he had noticed at the ticket check at Jiangzhou train station.

The girl thought this man looked handsome, but his eyes were too intimidating, making her shrink back involuntarily.

Yun Ya glared at him, "You’re scaring the child."

Yan Song touched his nose and sat down opposite.

Yun Ya gently stroked the girl’s messy hair and asked softly, "What actually happened? Take your time to tell us."

The girl sniffled and clung tightly to Yun Ya’s arm, "Sister, please save my brother first, okay? I escaped, those people will beat him to death."

Yun Ya squinted her eyes. Could it be child trafficking? These people were just inhuman.

"What does your brother look like? Where is he?" She added for clarity, "How tall is he? Is he thin or fat? What does his face look like? Tell me clearly so I can find someone to save him."

The girl quickly explained, "My brother told me to keep running east. I counted, I ran through six carriages."

So, he’s in the ninth carriage. "Stay here and don’t go anywhere. I’ll immediately send someone to rescue your brother."

The little girl nodded like a pecking hen. At this moment, Ji Yunya appeared more angelic than an angel in her eyes.

Yun Ya had just risen when Yan Song also stood up, "You stay here; I’ll go find someone."

"Take Mingyue with you," Yun Ya said.

Yan Song and Mingyue left one after the other, while Ah Yun came in, immediately rushing over with a heart full of pity upon seeing the little girl.

Yun Ya took out some snacks for her, which the little girl took gratefully, devouring hungrily. Halfway through eating, she suddenly stopped, carefully wrapped the bread, and put it back in her pocket. Unable to help herself, Ah Yun asked, "Why did you stop eating?"

The girl replied quietly, "I want to save it for my brother; he hasn’t eaten in three days...."

Yun Ya’s brows furrowed slightly. She took out another piece of bread, opened it, and placed it in her hand, "Sister has plenty of bread; both you and your brother have food to eat."

The little girl tightened her grip on the bread and suddenly looked up at Yun Ya, "Sister, why are you so good to me?"

When the girl asked this, Yun Ya’s heart suddenly twitched with pain.

Smiling gently, Yun Ya said softly, "Do we need a reason to be kind to someone?"

The girl nodded earnestly, "Of course, you need a reason. My brother says that in this world, no one will be good to me for no reason. People who are good to me either want to use me or gain something from me."

Ah Yun sighed helplessly, "What has your brother been telling you? It’s because our lady is kind that she’s helping you like this without expecting anything in return, yet you suspect our lady like this. Has a dog eaten your conscience?"

The little girl flinched, lowering her head and biting her lip hard.

Yun Ya glanced at Ah Yun, who playfully stuck out her tongue. Gently stroking her hair, Yun Ya said, "If you have something about you that others can use, you can accept their kindness without feeling guilty. Your brother is right; there’s no free lunch in the world, and you can only rely on yourself for a proper footing."

The girl nodded, half-understanding. It seemed similar to what her brother had said.

Yun Ya chuckled, "Go ahead, eat." After speaking, she poured her a cup of water, "Don’t choke; eat slowly."

Eating a piece of bread and drinking a sip of water alternately, the girl’s way of eating left Ah Yun dumbfounded, just like a ghost reborn from starvation.

"What’s your name?" Yun Ya asked in a soft voice.

The girl paused her eating, her brows furrowing as if in thought, then she looked up at the girl in front of her who had saved her and given her food and water. More importantly, this girl had said the same things as her brother, and she felt an unconscious desire to trust her.

"My name is Murong Zhen," the girl whispered slowly.

Yun Ya slowly smiled, "It’s a lovely name."
