Searching for Treasures in the Clouds

After choosing her clothes, Yu Ru went straight back to her room. She was a little tired after looking at dozens of clothes at once. Back in her room, she walked to the big bed, lay down on it and closed her eyes.

Soon, Yun Jixing followed. He put the lunch box of bird's nest aside and sat on the edge of the bed. "Aru, you're tired. Do you want to rest? I brought some bird's nest. Have some."

Yu Ru opened her eyes and looked at him. After staring at him for a few seconds, she gestured, "How much did you spend on clothes today?"

"More than four million." Yun Jixing looked calm, as if he was talking about a very simple matter.

Yu Ru frowned slightly at the price, but didn't say anything. She raised a hand and reached out to Yun Jixing. Yun Jixing immediately grabbed her hand and pulled her up. After sitting up, she picked up the bird's nest and drank it in one gulp, like porridge.

"yue——"

After drinking the bird's nest, she retched several times, then collapsed on the bed, closed her eyes, and signed, "Next time, don't give me bird's nest. It's disgusting."

"Okay, okay, Aru, this is the last bowl, there is no more bird's nest." Yun Jixing pulled up the thin blanket next to her and covered her.

"Next time, don't order such expensive clothes. Order something cheaper. Except for large-sized dresses, small or medium-sized ones should not cost more than 50,000." Yu Ru gestured again.

"Okay, I'll do as you say. I won't scream anymore." Yun Jixing gently stroked Yu Ru's belly through the quilt. "Aru, did you see anything unusual today?"

Yu Ru continued to sign with her eyes closed. "Do you remember that girl named Xiao Gu from Sister Chen's team? I feel like she's always stealing glances at us, and her gaze seems to have a purpose."

"Xiao Gu?" Yun Jixing thought back to the faces he had just glanced at. He had no memory of this "Xiao Gu" at all. In fact, he had no memory of anyone besides the managers. He didn't know if it was because he was face-blind or what, but apart from the managers, he felt that the dozen or so men and women all looked the same, as if they shared a common face.

"Aru, I don't remember." He also lay down on the bed, lying on his side facing Yu Ru. "Except for those managers, I don't remember anyone else."

"The most beautiful and outstanding girl at the scene is Xiao Gu. Didn't you notice?" Yu Ru gestured at the top of the bed curtain and asked.

"Aren't you the most beautiful person here?" Yun Jixing smiled and put his hand on Yu Ru's waist, hugging her. "No one else stood out. The faces of the dozen or so people all looked the same."

Yu Ru was convinced. She placed her right hand, palm up, on her forehead, back down, and fell silent. However, she was always silent suddenly. Yun Jixing didn't sense anger from her expression, so he didn't think much of it. He just hugged her and rubbed her and kissed her face like a pet dog.

After a while, Yu Ru pushed Yun Jixing away and gestured, "Ask Sister Chen to provide me with a list of the team members she brought today, including each member's phone number."

"Okay, I'll contact her later. I'll also investigate Xiao Gu and her entire family." Yun Jixing posted again, "By the way, Aru, can you pull up the surveillance footage from Deng Huairou's house? I want to see how her son is doing."

Yu Ru nodded, "Let's go and see it now."

The two put on thicker coats and entered the computer room together.

"Mom!" Shan Ci used the camera to identify Yu Ru coming in and was very happy. The camera then turned to Yun Jixing, and its tone became calm again, "Dad."

"Shanci, your mother and I are here to watch the surveillance." Yun Jixing said.

"Whose are you looking at?" Shan Ci asked.

"Deng Huairou."

"I can retrieve it. I still have their network data stored."

Soon, Shan Ci called up the surveillance footage at Deng Huairou's home. The footage showed what looked like a study room where Cheng Youli was doing homework and Deng Huairou was sitting next to him watching.

"Xiao Ming, thank you for helping me."

"You're welcome. Students should...um...help each other."

Cheng Youli pointed his finger at the book and read the contents word by word. After finishing the sentence "Classmates should help each other," he stopped, turned to look at Deng Huairou and asked, "Mom, have you apologized to that classmate?"

Hearing this, Deng Huairou was stunned for a moment, then said with a smile: "Cheng Cheng, why do you still remember that?"

Cheng Youli stopped talking, lowered his head, and looked a little unhappy. Deng Huairou reached out and gently stroked his head, and said, "Cheng Cheng, I'm your mother. Why are you so unhappy with your mother for an outsider, a person you don't know?"

"But mom...my classmate is so pitiful, he's bleeding." Cheng Youli asked back in confusion, "I was bullied by my classmates before, and mom also said that children who bully their classmates are bad kids, they must apologize, and they must also bear the consequences."

Deng Huairou was speechless for a moment, not knowing how to respond. After thinking for a moment, she said, "Cheng Cheng, are you so sure that it's your mother bullying her classmates in the video? Don't you believe your mother?"

"Mom, the mom in the video looks just like you, and she says her name is Deng Huairou. Isn't my name Deng Huairou? Doesn't she have a twin mom?"

Deng Huairou looked at Cheng Youli and fell silent.

Cheng Youli added: "If mom doesn't apologize to that classmate, I will ignore her, because the classmate is really pitiful, and the classmate's mother will be very sad. I was bullied before, and I was very sad, and mom and dad were also sad, right?"

Deng Huairou's mouth twitched, and her smile faded considerably. She maintained a basic composure and said, "Chengcheng, I'll investigate who the person in that video is. You should finish your homework first. Mom will make you some cookies, and I'll ask Auntie to come and keep you company."

After saying that, she put her arms around Cheng Youli and prepared to kiss his head, but he actually dodged. "If mom doesn't apologize to her classmates, I don't want mom to kiss me." Cheng Youli lowered her head and said weakly.

"It's okay." Deng Huairou stood up, looked down at his son, and said softly, "Chengcheng, I'm leaving now. I'll come back later."

Leaving the small study, Deng Huairou walked towards another large study where her husband was working. Before entering the large study, she kicked the wall outside the door several times to vent her anger before going in.

"husband."
