The Rebirth of the Fierce Little Cute Girl
Chapter 201: Warming the Hearth
Mr. Chu Zhang was also quite surprised after hearing what Yiyi said, but he didn’t say much. However, when Yiyi and her mother were about to leave, he gave Yiyi a jade pendant as a school opening gift.
Jiang Yizi also gifted Yiyi a thin gold necklace as a school opening gift. Although it wasn’t heavy, the design was exquisite and delicate, very suitable for a young girl to wear.
These things were prepared in advance, so Yiyi did not refuse them.
However, Yiyi and her mother did not go home immediately but instead went straight to the Song family. The day after tomorrow is the start of school, so they planned to visit everyone today, rest at home tomorrow, and then head to school registration the day after tomorrow.
When Song Xiaoqing saw Yiyi and her mother, she was full of joy.
"Yue Jun, Yiyi, you finally made it to Shangjing. I was just wondering why you hadn’t come yet, especially since Yiyi is about to start school."
Hearing this, Ding Yuejun couldn’t help but laugh, "Haven’t we come over now? Yiyi only registers the day after tomorrow, so we’re just in time."
Yiyi also chimed in, "Yes, godmother, we certainly won’t be late. We wanted to drop by before school starts to see you."
"I’m glad you remember us, dear. I was just worried you’d forget your godparents in a blink."
Song Xiaoqing really missed Yiyi during this time. It was rare to have a goddaughter, and right after recognizing her, they were separated by distance. Fortunately, Yiyi would be attending university in Shangjing, so they’d have more chances to see each other.
The three of them talked for a long time, and Song Xiaoqing warmly insisted on them staying for dinner.
"Godmother, we won’t stay for dinner. There are others waiting for us at home. Let’s save it for next time."
"Are you heading back to the Chu family?"
Yiyi shook her head and explained about the courtyard house in Shichahai, "We’ll be living there from now on. It’s our residence in Shangjing."
"You bought a house and didn’t say anything. If I had known, I would have come over for a housewarming." Song Xiaoqing couldn’t help but glance at Yiyi, then decided, "Tomorrow, I’ll come over for a housewarming. Give me the exact address quickly."
Upon hearing this, Ding Yuejun hurriedly waved her hand and said, "No need, Xiaoqing, there’s no need for that trouble."
"It’s no trouble at all. Since it’s your new home, of course, we need a housewarming. Tomorrow, Yiyi isn’t starting school yet, so we can have a good time." Song Xiaoqing insisted, laughingly accepting the address of Shichahai.
When Yiyi and her mother got home, they found only Mo Ping and Guo Ming there.
"Master, where’s Er Ya?"
"Yiyi’s back! Er Ya went out with a former English teacher of yours. When we went out shopping at noon, we ran into her. She said you should meet them at the central restaurant in town when you return."
Hearing this, Yiyi immediately guessed that Er Ya must have run into Yang Liu.
And naturally, Ding Yuejun realized it too. She smiled and told her daughter, "Yiyi, you should go find Er Ya and Teacher Yang. We’ll sort out dinner ourselves, you and Er Ya have a good meal and then return."
"Alright, mom. It’s been a while since I’ve seen Teacher Yang, and I do miss her."
When Yiyi arrived at the central restaurant, she indeed found Yang Liu and Fei Erya sitting and chatting.
"Yiyi, you’re finally here. I thought I’d have to wait until we send Er Ya back to see you. You’re just in time, we were just about to order. See what you’d like to eat." Yang Liu was very happy to see Yiyi and immediately stood up, waving her hand.
Yiyi sat down with a smile, not standing on ceremony, and ordered two of her favorite dishes before handing the menu to the waiter.
Today’s gathering included Fang Cheng as well, and the four of them chatted leisurely while waiting for the food.
Once the meal was served, the four of them ate dinner, chatting and laughing, though Fang Cheng found an opportunity to speak with Yiyi alone.
"Do you still remember Leng Yu?"
Upon hearing this name, Yiyi couldn’t help but squint her eyes and nodded, "Of course, I remember her."
Speaking of Leng Yu, Fang Cheng’s expression turned grim, "I had someone tailing her, but unexpectedly, the woman disappeared."
Thinking about how it was this woman who provided the poison that harmed Liu’er’s mother made him want to deal with her directly. Yet it seemed there was a force protecting her, as several attempts to deal with her had failed, and this time they had lost track of her completely.
"That woman’s identity is complex. I haven’t been able to handle her after all this time."
Hearing this, Yiyi was not surprised at all.
Leng Yu was originally from Medicine Valley, and Medicine Valley’s force is not small, with a powerful backing.
"Brother Fang, you should also be cautious in the future. Leng Yu is not someone simple, be careful around her."
Fang Cheng wasn’t worried about this.
"Don’t worry, I’m very discreet and won’t let her notice me."
Hearing this, Yiyi finally felt at ease.
"A Cheng, what are you and Yiyi talking about? We need to send them back."
Fang Cheng immediately smiled and said, "Oh, nothing much, I was just inviting her to come visit you more often."
Yang Liu beamed with a smile.
"Yes, yes, make sure to come over more often."
After sending Yiyi and Er Ya home, Yang Liu and Fang Cheng left.
The next day, Song Chi and Song Xiaoqing came together.
"Xiaoqing, you’ve arrived, come in and sit down."
Seeing the Song couple arriving, Ding Yuejun quickly welcomed them with a smile.
Yiyi also greeted with a smile, "Godfather, godmother."
"Yue Jun, Yiyi, we’re here to celebrate your housewarming."
"We’re really grateful to you for taking the trouble." Ding Yuejun didn’t expect even a busy person like Song Chi would come, so after asking Yiyi to entertain the guests, she went into the kitchen to prepare lunch.
Fei Erya went to help in the kitchen.
Mo Ping and Guo Ming helped move tables.
Seeing Guo Ming, Yiyi quickly introduced him to the Song couple.
"Godfather, godmother, this is my master, Guo Ming."
Song Xiaoqing was a bit puzzled, "Master?"
"Yes, recently I performed the apprenticeship rite, and he has taught me a lot."
Song Chi stood up with a smile, and said, "Hello, I’m Yiyi’s father, Song Chi."
Guo Ming glanced at Song Chi, a bit surprised, then calmly shook hands with him, saying, "Hello, I’m Yiyi’s master, Guo Ming."
Guo Ming wasn’t very talkative by nature, so he didn’t say much after that.
Then Yiyi introduced Mo Ping.
Song Xiaoqing asked curiously, "Yiyi, didn’t you open a medicine shop? Are you planning to open one in Shangjing too?"
"Yes."
Yiyi nodded with a smile and then took out two bottles of Rongzhi Pill she had prepared, handing them to Song Chi and Song Xiaoqing, "Godfather, godmother, I made these recently for you two to take one every night."
The Song couple accepted them with smiles.
