Chapter 418 What Is Her Relationship with Yan Sijue
Mu Yiliang was also guessing what kind of relationship this woman had with Yan Sijue. Caught off guard by her words, he felt a bit puzzled: "It’s okay, no matter what it is, I can handle it."
"But I don’t like having a third person present." The woman smiled, "If you want to know, let Yan Sijue relay it to you after I finish, but I only intend to speak to Yan Sijue alone."
"No need." Yan Sijue said with displeasure, a slight cold smile on his face, "If you don’t want to say it, forget it. I’ll find out sooner or later."
In the past, he didn’t know that his mother had been taken care of by this woman for so many years. Now that he knows, it would be too easy to find out.
The woman remained silent, her smile carrying an air of certainty. Mu Yiliang felt a bit helpless and had to stand up and say, "It’s okay, I’ll go find Xiaoze, you guys chat first."
No matter what kind of relationship this woman had with Yan Sijue before, since Yan Sijue no longer remembers, it shows it’s not something significant, so she’s not curious!
That’s what she said, but before leaving, she left something on the couch. Yan Sijue noticed it with his sharp eyes, a trace of a smile flashing in his eyes, but he said nothing.
When Mu Yiliang left, Yan Sijue turned his gaze to the woman sitting opposite him: "Can you say it now?"
The woman gently spoke: "My name is Xin. Like you, I was taken to the Ghost Market shortly after birth. After my parents died, I couldn’t get a full meal, occasionally snatching bits of leftovers, always on the brink of death... That day, I was fighting for food with a boy a head taller than me, and you helped me."
Yan Sijue raised an eyebrow: "Did that really happen? I don’t remember at all. I remember most things about the Ghost Market very clearly, but something like this I might do several times a day, how could I remember, let alone remember you."
In the room, secretly listening to their conversation, Mu Yiliang smiled with satisfaction. Hmph, this woman immediately puts a hat on Yan Sijue as if his failure to remember her makes him ungrateful... So it was just these trivial matters in their past!
Beside her, Xiaoze was also listening, but looking puzzled: "Mommy, who’s the person speaking?"
"I’ll tell you in a moment." Mu Yiliang couldn’t bother to explain.
Upon hearing Yan Sijue’s words, Xin wasn’t discouraged. She paused for two seconds before continuing, "Of course, you don’t remember such things. However, once I was being bullied, and you helped me out, even tossed me half a bun... If it weren’t for you that day, I would’ve certainly been dead."
In the Ghost Market, as long as you’re a woman, even a few-year-old girl couldn’t avoid the fate of being sexually assaulted. Yan Sijue knew what sacrifices his mother made to protect him, so he despised such things. If he saw a little girl being bullied in front of him, he would stop it no matter what.
Upon this thought, he slightly lifted his eyes: "How old were you then?"
"Five years old." Xin replied, "But because I was so thin, I looked about three."
Yan Sijue nodded slightly: "I did such things more than once. I still don’t remember you."
Xin gave him a long look and smiled: "It’s okay, it’s enough that I remember you. Since then, I’ve often hung around you and your mother. At that time, many kids like me did the same thing, all trying to find opportunities to sneak something... But that wasn’t my goal, I was purely keeping an eye on you."
