Ye Yuhua was like a clay Bodhisattva. From the time Xiao Zheng went upstairs to summon Lin Huayin downstairs to the time he returned to the living room, Ye Yuhua sat motionlessly on the sofa, maintaining the same posture as when Xiao Zheng went upstairs. This made Xiao Zheng, who had ADHD, admire her. At the same time, he could not help but sigh that 20 years of being a monk was not a joke. His mind was calm to a certain extent.
The restless Brother Ah Zheng refilled Ye Yuhua's cup of tea and casually chatted for a while. Lin Huayin, who had been waiting for a long time, finally arrived late. She came downstairs in casual attire.
Perhaps it was after Xiao Zheng's training, Lin Huayin put away her cold expression and came to the living room with a calm face. Before sitting down, she said, "There are no ingredients at home. I'll go buy some groceries."
"Auntie is here and you're still eating at home?" Xiao Zheng said vigilantly. "Since today is your birthday, why don't we go to the restaurant to eat? We can also celebrate for you. "
"She's a monk. What can she eat outside?" Lin Huayin said lightly.
Xiao Zheng suddenly understood. He scratched his head and smiled, "That's true. Auntie is indeed not suitable to eat at the restaurant. That's fine. You chat with auntie. I'll go buy groceries. "
"Let's go together." Ye Yuhua slowly got up and said with a gentle face. "I haven't been to Pearl Tower for many years."
"That's for the best." Xiao Zheng livened up the atmosphere and said with a smile. "Auntie, if you haven't been to Pearl Tower for 20 years, then I'll really take you around. In these 20 years, Pearl Tower has undergone earth-shaking changes. "
Ye Yuhua nodded lightly and said, "Sorry to trouble you."
"Auntie, you're too polite." Xiao Zheng took the key from Lin Huayin and said excitedly. "Let's go. Let's take auntie around."
Lin Huayin saw that Xiao Zheng was trying hard to maintain the awkward situation, and her heart was slightly at ease. With him around, at least they didn't have to worry about being too dull, and they didn't have to stare at each other and find something to talk about.
However, thinking that Xiao Zheng hadn't returned for the entire night, it was very likely that he hadn't slept the entire night. She couldn't help taking the key from Xiao Zheng's hand and lightly said, "You didn't sleep last night, did you?"
"I'm fine!" Xiao Zheng widened his bloodshot eyes and grinned. "Let alone one day, even if I don't sleep for three days, I'll still be full of energy."
"I'll drive." Lin Huayin didn't say much. She took the key and went out.
Xiao Zheng shrugged and turned to smile at Ye Yuhua, who was ignored by Lin Huayin. "That's her temper."
Ye Yuhua smiled and did not comment.
As a mother, how could she not understand her own daughter? Even though the number of times they had seen each other in the past twenty years could be counted on one hand, blood was thicker than water. How could it be measured by time?
The three of them got into Lin Huayin's white BMW. Lin Huayin drove, while Xiao Zheng braced himself and sat in the back of the car to chat with Ye Yuhua. He was in an inexplicable state of excitement. He even directly ignored Ma Choi Jun's presence. He didn't even think about it.
"Auntie. Don't you think Mingzhu has changed a lot compared to twenty years ago? It's also becoming more and more prosperous? "Xiao Zheng asked with a smile.
Ye Yuhua's eyes were calm. She nodded and said, "Very. There are also more people. "
"Yes." Xiao Zheng sighed. "A financial center will always need workers from all over the place to promote it. It's not enough to rely on the people of Mingzhu alone. "
Ye Yuhua gently said, "Yes."
It had been twenty years. She had long been used to talking less and listening more. She wasn't as incisive as she was in the past. She always looked at the problem from her own point of view and used her outstanding business talent to make sharp analysis, which made others feel even more pressured.
Ye Yuhua might have retained her innate talent, but it had long been worn down by the twenty years of chanting Buddhist scriptures, leaving only the silence of the ancient Buddha.
"Auntie, I heard from Xiao Zhu that you were the most famous talented woman in Yan Jin back then. Do you know the tycoon of Mingzhu, Lu Dashan? "Xiao Zheng tried to find a topic while trying to understand Lu Dashan's past through Ye Yuhua. Of course, it wasn't that he didn't have any way to understand Lu Dashan. But compared to Ye Yuhua, who was a queen at the same time, Siyan's analysis of a person would always be biased.
"Yes." Ye Yuhua gently nodded and said. "An old acquaintance."
As expected. Big shots like Ye Yuhua and Lu Dashan, even if one was in the South and the other was in the North, the possibility of not knowing each other was too low.
"Is he very rich and amazing?" Xiao Zheng asked.
"Quite amazing." Ye Yuhua smiled. "He became the richest man in Mingzhu at the age of thirty. Don't you think he's very rich? "
Xiao Zheng grinned and said, "They're all so rich." After a pause, he continued to ask. "Then why can't I hear any news about him now? Is he lonely? "
"There are high-profile rich people, and there are low-key rich people. If they don't want to show their faces, it's naturally difficult for outsiders to hear news about them. "Ye Yuhua explained.
"It seems that he is a low-key rich man." Xiao Zheng nodded.
"A free and unfettered rich man." Ye Yuhua smiled. Her evaluation of Lu Dashan was quite high.
The two enjoyed the scenery outside the window while talking and laughing. Time passed by quickly. Lin Huayin also deliberately took a long detour, passing by many famous attractions in Mingzhu. It could be considered as a tour for Ye Yuhua.
When they arrived at the mall, Ye Yuhua in a long robe quickly attracted a lot of strange gazes. After all, in an international metropolis like Mingzhu, it was rare for a monk to wander around. Especially a female nun as beautiful as a fairy like Ye Yuhua. It was even more rare.
Xiao Zheng noticed that there were several middle-aged men looking at Ye Yuhua with covetous eyes. This may be very common for ordinary women, even a kind of silent praise. But for a monk like Ye Yuhua, it was a bit blasphemous. Not waiting for Xiao Zheng to respond, Ye Yuhua softly said, "A monk cultivates the body and also the mind. I have cultivated for twenty years, comprehended some truth, and also smoothed some obsessions. I have let go of what I can. I am also participating in what I can't. "
These words were intended to persuade Xiao Zheng not to mind the eyes of others, but inadvertently stung Lin Huayin's heart. She couldn't help but coldly ask, "You have let go of what you should, but you also have to let go of what you shouldn't. Then what are you doing here? Fulfilling the obligations you didn't fulfill? Or are you doing it for others to see? "
Xiao Zheng was caught unprepared, but there was no change on Ye Yuhua's face. She was still indifferent and calm.
"You don't fight for what you should fight for, but you fight for what you don't need for half of your life. You have practiced Zen for twenty years, but you can't even understand the word love. You still dare to say that you are not using the Buddhist door to escape? "Lin Huayin said with a cold face. Her face was full of anger for not fighting, but also hate for being ruthless.
