Chapter 142 Can you do me a favor?
When Yunzhi saw the familiar property certificate, her eyes lit up. She quickly walked over, her clear voice filled with undisguised surprise.
"Mr. Cheng, I was just about to call you today to ask if you had seen this, but I didn't expect you to deliver it to me so early in the morning. Mr. Cheng, thank you so much."
As Yunzhi spoke, she reached out to take the property certificate from Cheng Shuyan's hand.
But as soon as her hand touched the property certificate, Cheng Shuyan took it back as if she were teasing a small animal.
Yunzhi blinked, looked at her empty palms, and then looked at Cheng Shuyan with a puzzled expression.
Cheng Shuyan coughed lightly, suppressing a laugh as he teased Yunzhi.
"Miss Yun, is it just a verbal thank you?"
Yunzhi knew that Cheng Shuyan was joking on purpose. She pinched her chin with one hand, pretending to be troubled, then suddenly slapped her forehead, leaned forward, and held up one finger to make the character "one".
"Mr. Cheng, I owe you a meal, no, how about two meals? Let's eat at HSBC Gate."
"Hmm..." Cheng Shuyan thought for two seconds and reluctantly nodded in agreement, "Okay."
Then, he didn't make things difficult for Yunzhi anymore and returned the property certificate to her.
“Miss Yun knows me quite well. She even knows that I like to eat at HSBC Restaurant. Sometimes I wonder if we’ve known each other before.”
Cheng Shuyan still wore a calm and nonchalant smile, as if he had just said it casually.
But his eyes were fixed on Yunzhi, observing the changes in her expression.
Yunzhi paused as she flipped through the property certificate, her heart tightening.
Of course, she had known Cheng Shuyan for a long time.
However, for her and Cheng Shuyan now, that was a thing of the past.
Regardless of whether Cheng Shuyan would believe her if she told the truth.
Even Yunzhi herself doesn't want her brother to remember what happened in his past life.
My brother sacrificed so much for her.
They even gave their lives.
This is definitely not a pleasant memory.
Taxi drivers nowadays have fulfilling lives and don't need to create unnecessary worries for themselves.
Yunzhi quickly composed herself. She closed the property certificate in her hand, sighed softly, and looked at Cheng Shuyan with regret.
"If I had returned to China sooner, I would have been able to get to know President Cheng sooner, and maybe even get close to him. What a pity."
She shook her head as she spoke.
Yunzhi was simply hinting at Cheng Shuyan.
She had been living abroad and only recently returned to China, so she had no chance to meet Cheng Shuyan.
Yunzhi knew that it might be due to a bug in the system's memory erasure process that caused her brother to have a strange sense of familiarity with her.
That's why I helped her the moment I met her.
No matter how much he suspected or how hard he investigated, he could not find any clues whatsoever.
Her previous body had long since vanished without a trace.
Yunzhi looked calm.
Cheng Shuyan observed quietly for two seconds but found nothing unusual.
He wondered to himself again, could it really be his imagination?
But this illusion felt all too real.
This was the first time in over twenty years that he had felt this way.
Cheng Shuyan always felt that there was some secret here that he had not yet uncovered.
But right now is clearly not the time to investigate.
He curled his lips into a smile, his amorous phoenix eyes gazing gently at Yunzhi.
"It is indeed a pity. There is no time like the present. I wonder if I will be lucky enough to have Miss Yun treat me to lunch today."
"I'm afraid it won't work today; I already have an appointment for noon."
Yunzhi shook her head and refused Cheng Shuyan.
She went to the welfare home today and doesn't know when she'll be back.
Moreover, Qin Ran called and said she would treat her to lunch as a thank you for her donation to the welfare home.
She had no choice but to refuse Cheng Shuyan.
Upon hearing this, Cheng Shuyan felt regretful, but did not insist further.
The two chatted for a while before preparing to part ways.
An idea flashed through Cheng Shuyan's mind, and he suddenly called out to Yunzhi.
"Wait, Miss Yun."
Yunzhi turned around and stood two steps away from Cheng Shuyan without saying a word, waiting for him to speak.
Cheng Shuyan struggled for two seconds, as if the words that followed were extremely difficult to utter.
Just thinking about Amy's disappointed expression, he still shamelessly asked.
"Miss Yun, I don't know if you have anything to do tomorrow, but I have something I'd like to ask you for help with."
"Tomorrow... nothing's up, what's wrong?"
She originally had something to do, but Ye Chengyan's schedule didn't require her to go, so she was quite free right now.
Upon hearing this, Cheng Shuyan breathed a sigh of relief and recounted the parent-child activity at Amy's kindergarten.
"So I wanted to ask Miss Yun if I could participate in Amy's kindergarten parent-child activities as Amy's mother. I called my older sister today, but..."
At this point, Cheng Shuyan paused for a moment.
Yunzhi vaguely saw a fleeting anger on his gentle face.
She frowned as she thought of Amy's unreliable biological mother.
“Amy is really looking forward to the parent-child activity. I’m worried that she will be disappointed if I tell her that my older sister won’t be coming. So I’d like you to come with me and Amy. Of course, I understand if you don’t want to, and that’s okay.”
Cheng Shuyan didn't want Yunzhi to think he was using moral blackmail.
If Yunzhi finds it troublesome and doesn't want to go, he won't force her.
Yunzhi felt that Cheng Shuyan's words sounded somewhat familiar.
"Mr. Cheng, what's the name of Amy's kindergarten?"
Although Cheng Shuyan didn't know why Yunzhi asked this, he still answered truthfully.
Yunzhi had an expression that said, "I knew it."
She said, "When did kindergartens in Shanghai become so unified? So many kindergartens are holding parent-child activities on Mondays."
It turns out they were from the same kindergarten.
That's true. The kindergarten Ye Ze attended was the best in Hai City. The Cheng family is not short of money, so it's not surprising that Amy attended that kindergarten.
She thought of the adorable little girl who called her "Mommy," and without hesitation, she agreed immediately.
Cheng Shuyan originally didn't have much hope.
Hearing Yunzhi agree, he was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help but take a step closer to her. If it weren't for the difference between men and women, he probably would have already pulled Yunzhi into his arms.
"Miss Yun, thank you so much. Amy likes you very much. I'm sure Amy will be very happy that you can go. You've done me a great favor. If you need any help in the future, please just let me know."
This man, who usually doesn't show his emotions, was unusually excited and happy.
Yunzhi's mood was also affected by him.
Her smile widened slightly.
Yunzhi put her hands behind her back and tilted her head slightly as she looked at Cheng Shuyan.
"No need to thank me. I like Amy very much too. If you really want to thank me, then I'll make up for it with the two meals I owed Mr. Cheng earlier. What do you think, Mr. Cheng?"
