CHAPTER 224: CHAPTER 224: MO YINHE, HOLD ME TIGHT! 1

The next day, the first day of Chinese New Year, Si Mingjing woke up and discovered that the Weibo post she had made late last night was still topping the hot search list.

The netizens were all full of admiration.

As she was browsing Weibo, the bedroom door suddenly creaked open, and a little dumpling slipped in from outside.

"Auntie Si! Auntie Si! Happy New Year! Susu wishes Auntie good fortune! Susu also prepared breakfast for Auntie; I brought it all by myself! Quick, Auntie, get up for breakfast! There’s steaming white rice porridge, fragrant plain boiled eggs, and also buns, dumplings! Oh right, and super tasty desserts!"

Si Mingjing was pulled out of bed by Yun Xiaosu.

Following her to the dining table in the living room, she saw it laden with a hearty breakfast that looked especially appetizing.

Si Mingjing looked down incredulously at Yun Xiaosu. "Susu, did you really bring this over from the villa next door?"

"Of course! Susu was worried Auntie Si might be hungry."

Yun Xiaosu climbed onto a chair and proactively handed chopsticks to Si Mingjing. "Auntie, try it and see if it’s good!"

Si Mingjing hadn’t even freshened up yet. But Yun Xiaosu was too enthusiastic, her eyes full of expectation.

She couldn’t bear to disappoint the child’s fervent gaze. Taking the chopsticks, she picked up a steamed bun and took a couple of bites.

The bun was soft and fluffy, filled with the aroma of meat.

The savory scent was incredibly appetizing.

"Auntie Si, is it tasty?"

"It’s delicious," Si Mingjing replied, moved beyond words.

As she ate, she asked in disbelief, "Susu, why aren’t you out playing? What made you think of bringing Auntie breakfast?"

"Uncle Ye said that from now on, Auntie Si will be Susu’s agent. He said as long as Susu has Auntie Si’s strong support, she can become a super popular child star! Then everyone will be able to see Susu on TV. Maybe even Susu’s real dad and mom will be watching! When they see Susu, they’ll take her back home, meow~"

Although Liangliang said he would share his grandparents, father, and brother with me, I still wish more to find my own real dad and mom.

Si Mingjing felt a pang in her heart. She picked Yun Xiaosu up and sat her on her lap.

"Susu, you don’t need to be so overly thoughtful. Auntie promises you, I will try my best to help you find your real dad and mom."

"Really?"

Yun Xiaosu’s eyes glittered as if the vast expanse of starlight had scattered into them.

Si Mingjing’s heart ached even more for Yun Xiaosu. "Auntie guarantees, I’ll definitely help you find your real dad and mom."

After eating a bun, she went to wash up.

During the New Year period, most people were busy visiting relatives and friends. However, Si Mingjing, like Yun Xiaosu, didn’t have any close relatives or friends to visit, so she had plenty of leisure time.

She only bought gifts and went to the Su Family to pay New Year’s respects to Old Master Su.

In the evening, she dined with the Su Family.

At the dinner table, Old Master Su specifically asked her if her romance with Mo Yinhe was real.

Before Si Mingjing could speak, Su Cheng answered for her, "Grandfather, why even ask? If it weren’t real, would Mo Yinhe send Sister Si a red envelope on New Year’s Eve with the number 361,251,314? Isn’t that clearly a declaration of love?"

Old Master Su huffed and glared. "You, shut your mouth! It’s all because you lot are useless. The granddaughter-in-law I had my eye on is going to end up in someone else’s family."

"Grandfather, this time it’s really not that us three brothers aren’t trying. Never mind me, even if you ask Big Brother, could he easily give a girl a red envelope with the amount 361,251,314? That’s 360 million! We can only say our Su Family can’t be that extravagant! Otherwise, why don’t you give me a bit more pocket money usually?"

Old Master Su wished he could take his cane and send Su Cheng flying all the way to the Pacific Ocean!

Seeing that there was no chance of Mingjing becoming his granddaughter-in-law, Old Master Su clutched his wine glass, his heart heavy as he drank.

Si Mingjing sat quietly to the side, eating her meal while stealthily observing Qin Yinan’s expression.

After more than a month of not seeing her, Qin Yinan’s complexion had improved significantly.

"Madam, has your illness been cured?"

When Qin Yinan heard Si Mingjing’s question, she nodded with an attitude that was neither warm nor cold. "It has been cured."

Qin Yinan remembered Si Mingjing had once left her a prescription. She mustn’t think my recovery was due to her medicine! Fearing Si Mingjing might misunderstand that her recovery was due to that medication, she specifically smiled and explained, "My Su Cheng invited a renowned doctor for me, who found an excellent formula. After I took it for over twenty days, my illness was cured."

Si Mingjing smiled and said no more.

Qin Yinan had developed systemic lupus erythematosus five years ago. Western medicine had provided some relief, but long-term use led to drug resistance. Si Mingjing had written her a prescription, but Qin Yinan, distrusting Si Mingjing’s medical skills, had thrown it into the trash.

Grateful to the Su Family, Si Mingjing had then given the formula to Su Cheng, asking him to prepare the medicine for Qin Yinan.

Now, after nearly a month of taking the traditional Chinese medicine, Qin Yinan was cured. She felt especially grateful to the renowned doctor who had prescribed it.

At the dinner table, Qin Yinan asked her son, "Ah Cheng, you still haven’t told Mom who the renowned doctor that cured me is. It’s New Year’s; Mom must send that doctor a generous gift. He has shown me such great kindness."

Su Cheng, ever straightforward, said while drinking, "It was Sister Si, of course."

Qin Yinan’s expression stiffened. "..."

"Last time I helped Sister Si with something, she gave me the formula. She also told me not to tell you right away that she prescribed it, saying you might not take it otherwise. Mom, if you really want to thank someone, how about giving Sister Si a big red envelope?"

Su Yu, Su Cheng’s second brother, casually added, "Why wouldn’t she take it?"

Qin Yinan’s expression turned awkward at her son’s question.

She had never imagined it! The person she had been feeling so grateful toward these past few days was actually Si Mingjing?

I’m so grateful to Si Mingjing, but... Her face burned, and she was so ashamed she couldn’t speak, feeling as if there was nowhere to hide.

Qin Yinan’s husband, Su Yanming, upon learning that the renowned doctor who had cured his wife was actually Si Mingjing, quickly thanked her.

He even gave her a large red envelope.

After dinner at the Su Family’s home, Si Mingjing chatted for a while. Just as she was about to leave, Qin Yinan finally mustered the courage to take Si Mingjing’s hand. Swallowing her pride, she said, "Mingjing, you cured my illness. I’m incredibly grateful, but I also feel deeply ashamed."

"When you first gave me the prescription, I didn’t believe in your medical skills and threw your formula into the trash. I never expected you to still give the formula to Su Cheng."

"You cured my illness, but I feel so ashamed I don’t know how to thank you properly."

Qin Yinan isn’t a bad person, Si Mingjing had long realized. Her hostility towards me only ever stemmed from not wanting me as her daughter-in-law.

Si Mingjing smiled faintly. "It’s alright, Madam. Grandpa Su brought me back from Prison Star; I will always remember the Su Family’s kindness to me."

Qin Yinan, deeply ashamed, rushed to say, "You are such a magnanimous girl. Compared to you, I feel inadequate. If you don’t mind, please come visit us often in the future."
