When Ji Nuan came out of her grandmother's room, Song Sisi and Song Keke were already tired and were sitting in the yard to rest. In a blink of an eye, they saw Ji Nuan coming out. The two sisters raised their eyes to look at her, but Ji Nuan didn't look away. He walked out directly, with no expression on his face and no emotion.
It wasn't until Ji Nuan got in the car, and then until the high-end black car drove away, that the mother and daughter sat in the yard with dejected faces because they didn't get a penny.
Ji Nuan, who was in the car, sat quietly in her seat after getting in the car, looking out the window and saying nothing.
Mo Jingshen saw that she was worried and didn't say anything. He gave her time to sort out her mood. It wasn't until the car drove towards the main road in Jishi city, getting farther and farther away from the so-called grandma's house, that the man's hand fell on hers. The hand beside the leg spoke: "You came out nearly an hour ago. What did you talk about?"
Ji Nuan paused, still looking out the window, and simply said: "She told me some things about my mother. I haven't figured out my own life experience yet, and it ended up throwing me another difficult problem."
"What problem?"
"She said that my mother was not her biological child. She said that when she was young, she worked for a wealthy family in Beijing and worked as a servant for a year. Then she returned to the countryside and gave birth to her aunt. Not long after she was short of money, she So I went to work in that family again, but something happened to that family, and there were all kinds of bloody stories that happened only to the older generation who favor sons over daughters. In short, my mother became a child not long after she was born. I found an abandoned baby from that family, and my grandmother picked up my mother and raised her until she was ten years old. When she sent her back, she wanted to take the opportunity to ask for money, but it turned out that the family had moved abroad from Beijing and could not be contacted."
Having said this, Ji Nuan raised her hand to push back the hair that had fallen to her forehead, and said lightly: "She adopted my mother just so that she could be with her when that family wanted to find her child in the future. , she could have asked for millions, but her hopes were in vain. After that, she no longer had any thoughts about my mother and left her to fend for herself. After my mother graduated from junior high school, the money for her high school education came from herself and her relatives. I borrowed it, then worked for myself to make money, and applied for a student loan, so that I could study abroad after finally getting a scholarship. A lot of the money I earned was returned to my relatives back then, and then I basically had no contact with my grandma’s family. , but for so many years, until my mother passed away, she didn’t know what her life experience was, she just thought it was because her grandma didn’t like her.”
Decades ago, this situation did occur in many wealthy families in China due to the preference for sons over daughters. In China, especially in Beijing, in those days, it was not ordinary for families to be called wealthy. Abandoned baby girls are common.
"I can't explain how I feel in my heart right now. On the one hand, I'm glad that my mother is not related to this family by blood, because I really hate their faces. On the other hand, I'm sorry that she didn't know her life experience until she died. It’s a pity that maybe it’s been so long that we can’t find the root cause, but my mother, a beautiful and strong woman who worked so hard for a better life, ended up dying of hatred due to emotional entanglements and physical reasons.”
"At this time, I finally understood why Ji Hongwen was so kind and pitiful to my mother, and was willing to marry her to protect her even if she was pregnant with someone else's child. But I can't imagine what would happen if I really had a relationship with the Xiao family. What's the relationship? Under what circumstances did Director Xiao, who was obviously already married and had a child, let my mother get pregnant with me, but in the end he was irresponsible and let her marry into the Ji family while pregnant with the child."
"I remember Director Xiao's birthday party. On that cruise ship, when Xiao Luye planned to take me to meet his father, you once said that I would not be happy to see them." Ji Nuan turned his eyes and looked at the always Mo Jingshen, who was just listening to her without saying a word, said, "Have you already investigated the issue of my life experience? Do you know that even if I am really the daughter of Director Xiao, I may not be willing to recognize her?" he."
Mo Jingshen gently held her hand in his palm and said calmly: "From the high fever in the morning to the hospital, to the afternoon shopping, all the time, your ability to bear it has been greatly reduced. I have heard about many things from side to side, and It’s not specific, but it’s just the emotional entanglements between the previous generations, it’s not that complicated. If you’re tired, rest first and talk about it later, okay?”
Ji Nuan turned to look at him and thought about it. It was right. Since Ji Hongwen asked her to go back to Jishi first, he originally planned to tell the whole story bit by bit. There was no need for her to ask Mo Jingshen. After all, the real person involved was Ji Hongwen. and Xiao Dong.
She lowered her eyes and became quiet, but to be honest, when she thought that her mother had nothing to do with that family who was too businesslike and too greedy, she always felt that the turbid air in her chest was radiating out, and she also Much more enjoyable.
Fortunately, the blood on his body was not theirs.
Probably because she said all the things that she had just been holding in her heart, her mood relaxed a lot. Ji Nuan was about to take her hand out of the man's hand, but Mo Jingshen held her tightly while looking down at the man who was leaning on the seat. The little woman on the screen said: "I have been alone outside for three years. Are you used to dealing with problems on your own? I am here, and I can give you a shoulder to lean on at any time. You don't need to support me alone."
Ji Nuan pursed her lips and said expressionlessly: "What I am now, wasn't it all shaped by your own hands?"
The man chuckled because she was still holding a grudge, and pulled her towards him. Ji Nuan ignored him, closed her eyes and leaned against the seat to sleep, refusing to come closer to him until the man lifted her up. His arms wrapped around her whole body, holding her head against his shoulder. Ji Nuan was still struggling, but Mo Jingshen just held her head down and said, "Stay close and don't move."
Ji Nuan originally thought about it, but she was really sleepy. After thinking about it for a while, she didn't move anymore. She simply leaned her entire body weight on the man's body, closed her eyes and said, "I'll only rely on it for half an hour. Wake me up in half an hour.”
The man's calm voice was filled with a smile: "Yes."
As a result, half an hour later, Ji Nuan was still sleeping on his shoulder. Of course, Mo Jingshen couldn't wake her up. He just raised his hand and lifted Ji Nuan's head in time when the car bumped over a speed bump. He held her, and at the same time held her like this, letting her lie half in his arms.
Shen Mu looked behind him through the rearview mirror while driving, and thought to himself, Mr. Mo, have you forgotten that you haven't slept for almost two days and two nights since you came back from Beijing, and now you are actually holding a sleeping Ji? Nuan, with a satisfied and calm look on his face, do you really think of yourself as a god, or is this Ji Nuan able to exhale fairy air, making him feel extra energetic after taking a sip
