"Xiao Yue, I swear, I only agreed to let you go because I thought there would be people helping you move things, so you wouldn’t have to exert yourself. Xiao Yue, you are my beloved niece, how could I possibly exploit you!" Tang Mingli exclaimed, feeling truly wronged.
"Uncle, I know; I mean, Uncle Mo might think that way," Tang Yue cleared her throat, feeling a sweetness in her heart, and smiled saying, "Uncle, don’t be mad. He just doesn’t understand the situation, and that’s why he has such illusions."
Mo Siyu defended her that way, and she felt incredibly sweet and happy inside.
"I..." Tang Mingli fell silent, then said, "I also think he makes sense. Xiao Yue, this was something your uncle didn’t consider, I apologize to you."
As Tang Mingli spoke, he stood up straight, looking at her with full apologies.
Tang Yue immediately frowned and said, "Uncle, I volunteered for this, and besides, I have a share in the Mingyue Clothing Store. Just based on this fact, let alone occasionally going to stock up, even if I went with you every single time, it’s only right. Saying it like that, Uncle, means I have to follow you every time, otherwise I’d feel uneasy."
Even though stocking up is a hard task, however hard it may be, it still earns money. You can’t just take money without working, right?
If it were really so, she wouldn’t feel at ease taking the money.
"No way," Tang Mingli firmly denied without a second thought, "Xiao Yue, you’re still a student, how can you frequently go stock up?"
"Isn’t that right?" Tang Yue said with a slight smile, "Uncle, although we are uncle and niece, we are also business partners. If it’s just you giving all the effort and me doing nothing, just taking, as time goes by, it will inevitably breed resentment."
"No, no, Xiao Yue, if it weren’t for you, your Uncle I wouldn’t even know where I’d be moving bricks," Tang Mingli quickly replied, and this was the absolute truth. In his heart, without Tang Yue, there wouldn’t be the current him.
"Uncle," Tang Yue spoke earnestly, her expression serious, not seeming like a seventeen-year-old girl at all, she said distinctly, "Uncle, clear accounts keep good friends. If this continues, even if Uncle doesn’t mind, I would have no face to take dividend money anymore."
Tang Mingli was stunned for a moment. The Tang Yue in front of him was clearly Tang Yue, yet seemed different. The Xiao Yue whom he had always treated as a little girl seemed to have matured all of a sudden; her youthful face held a maturity that didn’t match her age.
Especially those bright almond eyes, naturally beautiful. Usually lively and charming, making her whole face shine brightly. At this moment, though, those eyes held a deepness, much deeper than usual vivacity.
Tang Mingli had an illusion, as if standing in front of him wasn’t his niece but his business partner.

Wangjiang County, hospital, patient room.
After failing to get through the call, Mo Siyu returned to the patient room and ate up even the cold food.
Afterward, he continued practicing walking in the patient room.
When Qin Huai’an found the hospital, he just happened to hear the doctor talking about Mo Siyu; his injury was severe, his foot needed to rest for a while before exerting force, it wasn’t time for rehabilitation yet.
Mo Siyu stood there indifferently, even with a cane, his presence seemed much stronger than the doctor’s.
The doctor’s endless chatter suddenly turned into advice on how he should rehabilitate to avoid harming his body.
This was the Brother Mo he knew.
