Reborn in the 80s, Get Rich by Eating Melons-Chapter 750: The Grand Finale

Tong Yao nodded. Not only was Tong Yue shocked, she herself was equally surprised by the devastating event. It was the first time she witnessed something like this.

Two living beings vanished right before their eyes. It was terrifying to anyone.

Seeing the dark circles under her eyes, Si Chen gently ran his fingers through her hair, "Get some rest after dinner."

She nodded, feeling very exhausted. Just as she was about to lead them to a meal, Yu Shiya suddenly called out to her.

"Tong Yao,"

Tong Yao turned her head and saw Si Jun helping Shiya walk over. That’s when she noticed that Shiya was also present.

"Are you about to mock me?" Tong Yao raised an eyebrow.

Shiya chuckled, "You thought too much. You’ve brought up a kind-hearted daughter who’s very likable. Given the hardships we’ve been through, considering your daughter, let’s call our past grievances even."

Tong Yao found Shiya’s comment bizarre, but she could sense a sincere tone in Shiya’s words. She seemed less proud, almost as if she had changed.

Hence, Tong Yao also lightened up, even managed a chuckle, "Speaking of which, you do share a connection with Yueyue. Would you consider being her dry mother?"

Shiya’s eyes brightened; she barely suppressed a smile, "Can I?"

"I don’t mind. In fact, having an extra dry mother means one more person to pamper her. How about you ask Yueyue in person?" Tong Yao suggested.

Upon hearing this, Tong Yue’s eyes rolled around, carrying a hint of smugness, "I never liked you before, but considering the fact that you had aunty feed me a Meat Bun, I’m willing to change my opinion of you. But I’ll only call you my dry mother, never dry mom."

Seeing everyone seeking to claim ’dry mother’, Hu Haiyun couldn’t hold back and chimed in, "I should mention, I was the first to claim. You all will have to queue up behind me."

Her statement made everyone laugh, effectively lightening the somber mood.

Hearing this, Si Jun responded, "In that case, let me treat everyone to dinner today."

Shiya looked at him, suddenly finding Si Jun more appealing than when they were unmarried. Having gone through this incident, the gap between her and Si Jun seemed to have closed, and they appeared even more intimate than when they first got married.

They always walked hand in hand.

Just as Tong Yao was about to speak, everything turned black. Tong Yao fainted but was miraculously caught by Si Chen— sparing her a hard fall.

Right before losing consciousness, it almost seemed like she heard Si Chen’s panicked scream. She had never seen him lose control like that before...

When she opened her eyes again, Tong Yao found herself in a hospital bed. It took her a while to regain her senses. Raising her hand to her forehead, she sat up in an empty ward. Just as she wondered where everyone went, her phone rang.

Tong Yao froze. The familiar melody was from the 21st century, set as her ringtone. As she searched for her phone, a girl entered the ward holding a Meat Bun.

"Yaoyao, you’re awake! Are you hungry? I wanted to tell you I found a job and it’s a Fortune 500 company! Who’d have thought you’d have been struck by lightning. I was astounded when I heard about it. Let’s see... The chicken leg that went missing last time... Was that you? You must have been punished by divine lightning."

Seeing her good friend from the 21st century, Meng Xue, in front of her, Tong Yao felt like her brain was about to explode, as if she was actually struck by lightning.

Noticing that she was unresponsive, Meng Xue checked her forehead, "Yaoyao, what happened? Don’t tell me you were electrocuted into stupidity?"

Tong Yao’s eyes wavered and tears began streaming down her face. She murmured, "What about Ah Chen? And my parents? What about my children? If I’m back like this, won’t they be devastated?"

Meng Xue was taken aback, dropping the Meat Bun onto the bed, "Yaoyao, don’t scare me. Who is Ah Chen? Your parents have been gone for a long time. And where did you get kids from? You are not married. You definitely turned silly due to the electrocution. I should call a doctor, a doctor..."

Amidst Meng Xue’s panicked cries, Tong Yao faintly heard the voices of Tong Yue and Si Yang. She felt as if her head was about to burst and once again fainted from the overwhelming pain.

Tong Yao felt like her soul was leaving her body and then returning. When she opened her eyes again, what greeted her was Si Chen’s bloodshot, anxious eyes and her two children by her side.

Finding herself in a familiar environment, she quickly embraced Si Chen, "Ah Chen, I thought I’d never see you guys again. It’s good that I’m back."

"You’re okay now."

Si Chen comforted Tong Yao by gently patting her shoulder. His face, showing no emotions for so long, finally relaxed a bit.

Upon hearing that Tong Yao had regained her consciousness, Shiya came to visit, "I fainted with excitement when you accepted me as your daughter’s godmother. I thought you fainted because of anger. You passed out for a whole day and night. Your father has been moved to a general ward. Si said that you fainted due to the emotional roller coaster along with a whole night without sleep. He didn’t sleep all night and just held your hand..."

Tong Yao looked at Si Chen sitting by her bed, her heart filled with overwhelming fondness. For a moment, their gazes met. Each saw their own reflection in the other’s eyes, reflecting their remorse.

Tong Yao was unsure whether she was dreaming or if her return to the 21st century was the dream. But everything surrounding her return to the 21st century felt so real...

...

Time flies, and thirty years had passed in an instant. Although Tong Yao was in her fifties, she still looked like a young girl in her twenties. Over the years, she had invested in many projects.

On the surface, she was merely Si’s wife; in reality, she was a multi-billionaire. Well-known individuals from Kyoto all showed her respect.

Her children have made their own marks in their respective fields— Si Yang pursuing a career in business, while Tong Yue followed in her father’s footsteps.

Tong Yao always remembered her good friend from the past. She had Si Yang’s company hire Meng Xue. On the internet, she found news about her own death due to a lightning strike in her past life...

The End.
