Chapter 255 Are you investigating my whereabouts?
Zong Lanfang was all too familiar with that voice.
It was Mu Niannian, with whom she had spent a full twenty years.
She paused, looked in the direction of the sound, and sure enough, it was there.
In the past, Zong Lanfang would have been delighted, but at this moment, she felt nothing at all, and even felt displeased.
She squinted and asked, "Why are you here?"
It wasn't just Zong Lanfang who was displeased; Elder Zong was too, and the disdain in his eyes was completely undisguised.
Their faces clearly say, "You're not welcome here!"
Seriously, a perfectly good plan suddenly has a bad apple in it, how can this be allowed to grow?
Song Beiyou didn't seem to have any particular emotion; he just stared at Mu Niannian without any restraint.
As before, let's first observe with a spectator's mindset and see what this sudden person wants to do.
Yan Dong is a very direct person. "Oh, isn't this the female lead who's been very popular on the internet lately?"
"What brings you here?"
After saying that, she covered her mouth and added, "Oh, wait, how come you have the nerve to show your face?"
Mu Niannian wanted to slap Yan Dong in her heart, but she smiled on the outside.
She didn't look down on Yan Dong, considering her nothing more than a lowly servant.
He only addressed Zong Lanfang, saying, "Mom, I didn't appear on purpose."
I couldn't find you anywhere, so I had no choice but to come here to wait for you.
As she spoke, Mu Niannian, as usual, stepped forward and tried to put her arm around Zong Lanfang's wrist.
Zong Lanfang reacted incredibly quickly this time, which she found strange. "Wait, how did you know I was here?"
She didn't tell the Mu family where she was going when she left home.
Moreover, Mu Niannian is no longer a member of the Mu family, so she wouldn't know her daily whereabouts.
Unless someone from her maternal family or the main branch of the family leaked it.
But that's impossible; the Zong family is known for their unwavering loyalty.
So this Mu Niannian...
When Mu Niannian heard Zong Lanfang ask this question, she stammered, "Well, maybe it's because you and Mom are on the same wavelength."
Zong Lanfang, “???”
As I said before, I would have been happy.
But now, there's more helplessness and frustration.
Song Beiyou and Elder Zong exchanged a glance, their eyes signaling each other to remain calm. Then, the grandfather and grandson watched the show together.
Zong Lanfang continued to ask Mu Niannian, "No, are you investigating my whereabouts?"
"Hey!" Mu Niannian's eyes darted away a little. "No, it's not true. I really just miss my mom. You've loved me for so many years, and I always confide in you when I have something on my mind."
Now that you're not by my side, I feel helpless, which is why I've had to find a way to reach you.
They used honorifics, believing it to be a powerful weapon to get closer to Zong Lanfang.
In fact, Mu Niannian had been investigating Zong Lanfang's whereabouts. She had previously installed a location tracking app on Zong Lanfang's phone, which she hadn't used before, but was now putting it to good use.
When Mu Niannian said that, Zong Lanfang's damned IQ suddenly disappeared, and her heart suddenly started to flutter.
For a moment, I forgot about the major events that had happened to Mu Niannian these past two days.
Elder Zong's brows were furrowed deeply, and he looked at Song Beiyou with a sense of guilt.
The two locked eyes again.
Having understood what the other party meant, Elder Zong said, "Alright, let's not waste any more time. Since we're here, let's go in together."
Mu Niannian was secretly delighted upon hearing this.
She came today with a purpose, and her main target was Song Beiyou.
To avenge the humiliation of being taken away by Zeng Yaozu that night.
Zong Lanfang subconsciously looked at Song Beiyou and felt much relieved when she realized that Song Beiyou did not show any resistance.
She then looked at Mu Niannian and said, "Okay, let's go in together then."
The weather wasn't cold, but Mu Niannian was wearing a turtleneck sweater, her whole deliberate smile on her face. "Okay!"
This turned a trip to the botanical garden for five people into a trip for six.
Originally, Elder Zong was walking alone at the front, but now he is walking side by side with Song Beiyou, followed by Mu Niannian arm in arm with Zong Lanfang.
Finally, there were Yan Dong and Uncle Chen.
Yan Dong deliberately pulled Chen Bo to walk slower, "No, has your daughter Fang's brain never been very sharp since she was little?"
Can't you see Mu Niannian's purpose?
Mu Niannian's face practically screamed, "I'm going to cause trouble."
Ugh, what a disappointment!
I had placed high hopes on Afang, but it seems I was wrong after all.
Uncle Chen was older and more composed. "Sigh, there's nothing we can do about it. Our young lady has raised Mu Niannian for twenty years, so she has developed feelings for her."
It's not so easy to cut ties so easily.
Yan Dong pursed his lips and followed Uncle Chen at the back.
This botanical garden is one of the oldest in Beijing, and it has different varieties of flowers in all four seasons.
Irises, gentians, globe amaranth, scutellaria barbata, begonias, and many more are everywhere.
A few people strolled through it, enjoying the beautiful scenery.
This botanical garden is actually built on a hillside; calling it a botanical garden is less accurate than calling it a mountain climb.
The slope is relatively gentle, so it's not tiring to walk on and is also suitable for the elderly to stroll around.
This was perfect for Elder Zong, who could stroll around, stop and go, and even take a few photos of Song Beiyou to post on his WeChat Moments to show off.
His friends and relatives who added him on WeChat were practically bombarded with his messages.
First item: [My granddaughter and I visited the botanical garden!]
The second point: [The botanical garden is beautiful!]
The accompanying picture shows Song Beiyou's back, and there's no scenery to speak of.
The third point: [There are so many flowers in the botanical garden, but none of them can compare to our Youyou!]
The accompanying picture is of Song Beiyou's profile, so blurry that you can't even see his features.
There are several more below.
I can't keep up with all the likes from my friends and family on WeChat Moments.
Mu Niannian, who was standing next to Zong Lanfang, also saw it and nearly crushed her phone in her hand.
Excellent! For a full twenty years, his maternal grandfather had hardly ever been close to her, let alone posted anything about her on social media.
That damned jealousy surged up rapidly, and my scheming grew louder and deeper.
She looked up at the top of the botanical garden, a hint of danger in her eyes.
After walking and stopping for an hour and a half, the six people reached the top of the botanical garden, which is also the summit of the mountain.
The mountain is not high, but it is steep and offers a panoramic view of the entire capital city.
Zong Lanfang was panting heavily, gasping for breath. "Ugh, I can't take it anymore, I'm exhausted."
Don't invite me next time there's an event like this.
Oh my god, my legs don't feel like mine! *sigh*
Elder Zong was extremely disgusted, "This is really..."
He hesitated, then stopped, too lazy to say anything.
Mu Niannian was also tired, after all, her body had just been ravaged, but she still couldn't forget Song Beiyou.
Her gaze drifted to Song Beiyou, who wasn't even out of breath, then looked at the restroom at the top of the mountain path steps. "Youyou, can you come with me to the restroom?"
