The cell phone rang.
Xiao Xiao picked it up and saw that it was from her mother. She didn't want to take it, but today was Mother's Day, so she had to say hello to her mother.
After a few seconds of silence, she took the phone and answered it, "Hello, Mom."
"Xiao, how have you been lately?"
"It's OK, Mom. Today is Mother's Day. I wish you a happy holiday."
"If you want to wish me a happy day, come back home tonight and have dinner with me. Your father and I haven't seen you for a long time and miss you very much."
"Mom, I..."
"After giving birth to you and raising you for so many years, is it too much to ask you to come back for a meal with me on Mother's Day? Think about it, how long has it been since you had a meal with your parents? Since you became a celebrity, I see you less and less. I don't know if you will come to pay tribute to me on the day I die..."
"Mom, why are you saying this!" Xiao Xiao interrupted her, "You are so strong, how could you die?"
"It's because I just want you to be around..." Mother Xiao said, and then she choked up.
"You know, Xiao Ru and I don't get along, and I don't want to go back and make you unhappy."
"How could that be? Xiaoru has come to her senses now. She feels that she was too harsh on you before. She said that she will change in the future. I hope you can forgive her?"
"Will she change?" Xiao Xiao felt like she had heard a particularly funny joke. "You didn't see how she tried to kill me with that knife last time. Mom, no matter what you say, I won't believe her anymore."
The reason why she hasn't handed over the small chip to the police is to give her a chance to live and let her stay with her parents. If she still insists on committing suicide, she will not be merciful.
"Your sister will really change. Just believe what mom says. How about this? Come over for dinner tonight and we'll have a good chat about what you and Master Ji are going to do. If you really want to marry him, mom can't stop you. As for the gift money, just don't ask for it. As long as you are happy after marriage and take good care of your parents..."
"Have you really thought it through?" Xiao Xiao was quite surprised. She didn't expect that their minds had changed in just over half a month.
"Yes, Mom doesn't want to see you and your sister quarreling like this, so Mom doesn't want to force you anymore. So let it be. Anyway, you and Master Ji already have a child, so what can we do if we don't support it?"
"I… "
"It's decided. Come back tonight for dinner and talk about it." After saying that, Xiao's mother hung up the phone.

"I'm going home to have dinner with my parents in the evening." At lunch time, Xiao Xiao took a bowl of soup, took a sip, and glanced at Ji Chensi.
Ji Chensi was eating his lunch slowly. When he heard her words, he turned around and asked, "What did you say?"
Xiao Xiao lowered her head and said, "Mom said that she and Dad agreed to our relationship and don't want any gift money. They said that I've already given birth to your child and I won't leave you. It's useless for them to say anything. They asked me to talk to them about marrying you in the evening."
Ji Chensi thought about it and frowned, "Do you believe what they said?"
"I feel doubtful too, but today is Mother's Day, and my mom asked me to go back and have dinner with them. If I don't go back, it doesn't seem right, don't you think?"
Ji Chensi was silent for a long time, his expression was deep, and people couldn't tell what he was thinking. Finally, he nodded, "Okay, then, go back and have dinner with them. Call me when you come back, and I'll send someone to pick you up."
"Okay." Xiao Xiao smiled, feeling warm in her heart.
Ji Chensi suddenly held her hand and said, "Forget it, I'll pick you up in person tonight. I'll leave early tonight and go meet your parents."
Although they were not worthy of being called parents, they still gave birth to Xiao Xiao, and there were some things he could not say.
Xiao Xiao's heart moved, and she looked up into his deep dark eyes, "But isn't there a dinner party at the Ji family tonight? Can it end so early?"
"Sure, I'll ask Ji Ling to pretend to be uncomfortable, and we can come back earlier."
"..." Xiao Xiao couldn't help laughing, "You are really cunning. You don't pretend yourself, but let Ji Ling pretend."
"This is just a countermeasure. If I pretend, I'm afraid grandpa will keep Ji Ling here."
Xiao Xiao nodded, "That's right, your grandfather always wanted Ji Ling to live in Tanyuan."
"Well, that's how old people are. They love their great-grandchildren very much. So it's decided. I will leave early tonight and go pick you up."
"Okay." She held her hand in his palm and smiled sweetly, very sweetly.

Seven o'clock at night.
Xiao Xiao went up to the apartment carrying the Mother's Day gift that Ji Chensi had prepared for her.
I rang the doorbell and found her standing at the door waiting. She was wearing a light purple linen shirt with a big black bow at the collar, which made her look gentle and sweet. She was wearing a fashionable caramel-colored knee-length skirt, which showed off her slender and beautiful calves. She was wearing black high heels and had a slim and fit figure.
She didn't wear heavy makeup today. She just applied a thin layer of air cushion BB cream, then brushed her eyebrows and applied lipstick, and that was it.
Her eyes are those very natural and beautiful peach blossom eyes, with long eyelashes and thick bags under her eyes. When she looks at others, it is as if she is giving them a charming smile, giving people the illusion of being sucked into her eyes.
After a moment, the door opened.
The person who opened the door was a young man wearing a black T-shirt and black trousers. He had slightly long bangs that were parted on one side of his head. He looked handsome and fashionable, a bit like a celebrity. However, the only flaw was that his left arm was covered with dense black English tattoos, making him look like a gangster.
When he saw Xiao Xiao, the man's eyes lit up, and then he smiled, "You are Xiao Ru's sister, Xiao Xiao, right?"
"Yes." Xiao Xiao smiled politely, her lips very pale.
The man's eyes fell on her lips and said, "I'm Xiao Ru's boyfriend, my name is Lu Nanshan."
Xiao Xiao nodded, "Well, hello."
"Come in, uncle and aunt are helping with the cooking."
"good."
Xiao Xiao walked in and stood at the entrance. Just as she was about to put the gift on the ground and change her shoes, Lu Nanshan took the gift. He stood beside her and said with a smile, "Let me hold it for you."
"Thank you." Xiao Xiao didn't look up and took out a pair of indoor slippers from the shoe cabinet.
"I know you're a star. I've seen you on TV before, but I didn't expect that you're actually much prettier than on TV."
"Really? Thanks."
"But the heroines you played are a bit disappointing. They are all silly and innocent."
Xiao Xiao smiled awkwardly and said, "I can't do anything about this. It's in the script and the audience likes it, so..."
"Who said the audience liked it? I don't like it, and many people around me don't like it either. Every time I watch that kind of TV series, I will definitely complain about it."
Xiao Xiao smiled helplessly, "Then I don't know, maybe some people still like it."
Lu Nanshan nodded, "Xiao Xiao, right? You are really a little different from what I imagined."
"Why is it different?"
"I thought you were a big, arrogant woman, but I didn't expect you to be so gentle and feminine."
Xiao Xiao was surprised, "What made you think I was that kind of woman? Did Xiao Ru tell you that?"
Lu Nanshan just smiled and said nothing.
Xiao Xiao seemed to have come to her senses a little. Lu Nanshan was Xiao Ru's boyfriend. Given Xiao Ru's personality, she must have said a lot of bad things about her to Lu Nanshan.

"Mom, happy Mother's Day." In the hall, Xiao Xiao walked over and handed over a bunch of gifts in her hand, "Mom, this is to nourish your body, Dad, this is to massage your cervical spine, don't you always say that your cervical spine hurts? Isn't this comfortable..."
Xiao Ru sat on the side of the sofa, watching Xiao Xiao take out gifts one by one, but not hers. She felt so angry that her teeth itched in her heart, but she kept a smile on the surface, "Little sister, you're back."
Xiao Xiao glanced at her and ignored her. She came back tonight to have dinner with her parents and was too lazy to pay attention to people she didn't want to see.
Being ignored by Xiao Xiao, Xiao Ru pretended not to notice and smiled to herself. She pulled Lu Nanshan over and said to everyone, "This is my boyfriend Lu Nanshan. What do you think, mom and dad? Isn't my boyfriend handsome?"
"Handsome! A very good-looking man." Mother Xiao praised with a smile on her face.
Dad Xiao turned around and asked Xiao Xiao, "Didn't Chen Si come tonight?"
"The Ji family is having a dinner party tonight. Did Chen Si take Ji Ling to attend?"
"Didn't I invite you to join me?"
Xiao Xiao shook her head.
Father Xiao snorted coldly, "It seems that they still don't regard you as their future daughter-in-law. With such a family, even if you marry him, you will have no status in their family. Even so, do you have to marry him?"
