Jiang Xiaoqi is really a good girl, she came down from the mountains to bring some herbs to Zhong Yu, that heart naturally needless to say. When she went to the Zhong family to deliver the medicine, mother Zhong was more and more like it.
“Auntie, this is what I picked in the mountains, has the effect of beauty.” Jiang Xiaoqi brought quite a few things with her today.
Yang Qiong’s face was full of joy, she has seen things much better than this, but it is rare that this child has a heart, “The conditions in the mountains are harsh, it is rare that you can persist at this age.”
Jiang Xiaoqi smiled, not coy, “I have to go to the mountains every year to live for a period of time I’m used to.”
Yang Qiong nodded, “That’s really rare.”
“Auntie, how is Brother Zhong’s leg these days?”
“It’s fine, I walk every day to rebuild it.” Yang Qiong occasionally go back to see, every time to come back will be difficult for a day, did not experience, how can understand the hardship.
“My grandfather said, according to the current situation of big brother Zhong, about three months later will be able to walk normally, just running and jumping still need time.”
Yang Qiong pursed the corners of her lips, “I’m already very relieved that he’s like this now.”
Jiang Xiaoqi understood and tilted her head to look at Lemon who was sitting on the side playing checkers. Today was Saturday, Lemon was originally going to go to a dance class, but it turned out that Jian Mo had gone to drop off Ning Qingyuan today and didn’t have time to send her to class. Zhong Yu asked the driver to send her to the house, and she was overjoyed, not going to class was great, she could do whatever she wanted at home. She was now ah more than happy to live with Yang Qiong.
“Lemon is really great.” Jiang Xiaoqi complimented, having fun playing two roles by herself.
Lemon raised her head with a confident face, “john taught me.” After saying that, he explained, “john is my uncle, he is very powerful and handsome. It’s a pity that he doesn’t have a wife yet, dad has a wife, he’s even older than dad.” What a shocking statement.
Yang Qiong’s eyes twitched, “Who is dad’s wife?”
“Mom.” Lemon’s eyes widened in surprise, “Dad and mom gave birth to me, dad’s wife is mom.”
“Who told you that?” Yang Qiong frowned.
“Dad.” Lemon squeezed the chess piece, “Daddy said I’m going to be their flower girl later.”
Yang Qiong’s heart thumped, so Zhong Yu hadn’t put it down yet, she glanced at Jiang Xiaoqi. Jiang Xiaoqi stroked Lemon’s head with a gentle and indifferent face.
Not long after, Jiang Xiaoqi got up to say goodbye. When Yang Qiong sent her out the door, she took her hand and said, “Children’s words are childish, they can’t be said.”
Jiang Xiaoqi curved the corners of her mouth, “Lemon is very cute, I like her a lot.”
Yang Qiong nodded, “Come over to keep me company when you have time, I’m not working right now, and I’m bored at home, I don’t have anyone to talk to even if I want to find someone to talk to.”
“Okay, Auntie, I’ll come more often in the future.”
In the meantime today was the day Ning Qingyuan returned to the United States. Life was so changeable, many years ago, Ning Qingyuan took Jian Mo from here to America. Unexpectedly after many years, at the same location, it was a farewell scene.
The two people looked at each other, Ning Qingyuan spoke first, “There is something to call me.” His eyes were as gentle and timeless as water, “I will always be – your brother.”
It’s your brother, they will be more than brother and sister, and only brother and sister.
Jian Mo hooked the corner of his mouth, “Take care.”
Ning Qingyuan nodded and stretched out his arms, Jane Mo slowly embraced him, the familiar scent between each other’s nostrils. Ning Qingyuan exhaled, he tried his best to control his fortitude, he was afraid that he would be unable to let go.
Jian Mo’s eyes were closed, and his mouth kept murmuring, “Qingyuan, thank you. Thank you for everything you’ve done for me all these years.”
“Silly girl-” Ning Qingyuan patted her shoulder and slowly pulled away from each other, “I’m leaving.”
Turning away, it was only an instant.
She stood there in a daze, her heart filled with helplessness. In fact, this result early in their expectations, just did not expect to face this scene heart really very painful and painful.
Back on the road, received a call from Zhong Yu, he had something to let her go pick up the lemon. Jane Mo heart some fear, before she saw the bell mother did not feel anything, but since the bell Yu after the accident, the bell mother to her attitude is very cold, only to maintain the surface of the polite. Jane Mo understands that the mother is a little angry, in the end is a mother and son, how can she give up her son for a woman almost even lost his life.
The bell mother obviously also know that she is now with Zhong Yu in the matter, the bell mother is not happy, but she now also can not help, Zhong Yu’s stubbornness is not she can sway.
When she arrived at Zhong’s house, the little nanny opened the door and saw her expression faint.
“I came to pick up Lemon.” Jane Mo said, somehow, she now had a strange feeling that the name was not right.
“Who is it, Plum-” Mother Zhong’s voice came.
“It’s Ms. Jane.” Plum replied.
Within seconds Mother walked over and Jane Mo politely called out, “Auntie, I’m here to pick up Lemon.” She stood there with no intention of entering.
Mother Zhong looked at her and paused, “Come in.”
Jian Mo frowned slightly and entered the door.
Jane Mo scanned around not seeing Lemon’s shadow.
“She’s practicing her brushwork in the study.” Lemon is in the study writing large characters, last night his grandfather wrote a few large characters for her to demonstrate, she promised to write them for her grandfather to correct.
“Plum, pour a cup of tea.”
“Don’t bother.”
“Use the new tea that Xiaoqi sent.” Mother Zhong said as if she didn’t mean it. Jian Mo’s expression remained the same, only her heart cooled down.
Mei Zi quickly made the tea.
“Taste it, I haven’t drank it before, when Xiaoqi sent it over earlier, I felt good after taking a sip.”
Jane Mo held the cup, the heat is dense and rise, she only felt a moist in front of her eyes, the burning temperature slipped into the mouth a numbness, “Well, fresh and light.”
“This tea is the same as people, the more you taste the more dense.” Mother Zhong said.
“Yes, day by day, we see people’s hearts.” Jian Mo concurred.
Mother Zhong turned her eyes to formally look at her, “Xiao Mo, do you and A Yu intend to keep going on in this unclear manner?” She finally got to the point.
Jian Mo’s throat was scalded by the tea and rolled in pain, “I owe him for what happened to Ning Qingyuan.”
Mother Zhong raised her eyebrows, “Just like that?” She considered every subtle expression of Jian Mo.
Jian Mo was silent, Mother Zhong sighed, “To be honest with you, if it was in the past, I wouldn’t have been happy for you and Yu to be together, but now I won’t agree to anything I say. The knot between you two is too deep, especially you.”
Jane Mo clasped her palm, her expression grave.
“Zhong Yu’s father and I think highly of Xiaoqi.” She said this lightly. “Leave Zhong Yu, I will arrange it.”
“I understand what you mean, what about Lemon?” She asked out loud.
“Since she has entered our Zhong family’s account, she will naturally be raised by our Zhong family.”
Jian Mo gritted her teeth, her heart felt like a bucket of ice water had been poured on her, bone chilling coldness struck her, “Auntie, it’s getting late, I’m going to take Lemon back.”
She was almost a little flustered, and as she stood up, she violently knocked the cup of tea, which poured straight into her lap, and she hissed and huffed.
“Is it burned?” Mother Zhong bent down to check, and Jian Mo dodged back and forth, “It’s fine, it won’t bother me.” She intuitively dodged away.
At this time Lemon suddenly came out, she pinched the paper, at the sight of Jane Mo, not as happy as usual, she ran over to her, fell and put the rice paper full of writing on the coffee table.
Jane Mo saw her and tried to raise a smile.
Mother Zhong picked up the sheets of rice paper and lit up, “Lemon’s writing is really good, turn around and frame it for grandpa.”
Lemon nodded and turned her face to Jane Mo, “Mom, let’s go home.”
Mother Zhong froze, her brows knit.
Jane Mo walked to her side, and her small hand took the initiative to pull on Jane Mo’s hand. “Grandma, bye.”
Mother Zhong nodded, but her heart was not in the right place.
As soon as she returned to Zhong Yu’s apartment, the little girl hid in her room. Jian Mo thought she had gone to play with toys and didn’t care. Only when she was done cooking dinner and went to call her did she realize that the little girl was covered in the quilt whimpering and crying.
She panicked and rushed to the bed, “What’s wrong?” She tried to rip the covers away, but Lemon was tugging on them and just wouldn’t let go. Mother and daughter tugged and Jane Mo was a sweaty mess.
“Lemon, let go, where is uncomfortable mom look?”
Lemon still ignored.
Zhong Yu entered the door when he heard the sound of crying coming from the room, he cared less about everything, fast step toward the room. The driver shouted in the back, “Wheelchair – wheelchair -” he had not let Jane Mo know that he could walk, this moment is wearing out.
“What’s wrong?” He jolted in, his gaze falling to the bed, Jane Mo’s hair loose, frontal hair moistened and plastered to his forehead. Jane Mo loaded over her head, pupils full of his standing figure, shocked stunned one by one flashed through the corners of her eyes.
This day happened too many things too much, this moment her lines like thunder drums, opened her mouth, but never send a sound. Zhong Yu walked over step by step, his gait was a little slow. A voice popped up suddenly in Jane Mo’s head, when was he able to walk?
“What’s wrong with Lemon?” He looked at the small mass bulging in the quilt, his voice undisguised nervousness. Jane Mo just looked at him with a pale face and didn’t say a word. He turned his head and pulled at the covers, “Lemon it’s Daddy, good girl – what’s wrong talk to Daddy?”
Lemon still buried in the quilt “whimpering” crying.
Zhong Yu’s face turned blue, turning his head to Jian Mo, “What did you do to her again, she’s still just a child!” He was full of anger.
Jane Mo stumbled a little, her heart was like being hit by a hammer, and for a while it hurt to breathe.
“Don’t talk about mommy like that!” Lemon suddenly emerged from under the covers, her entire face red with tearstains.
“What happened? Crying like that?” Zhong Yu sat on the edge of the bed and reached out to hug Lemon.
Jane Mo stood there fixedly, the dismayed sadness in her eyes gradually replaced by calm. It turned out that the road between her and him had come to an end, and at that moment she suddenly made up her mind. She silently turned around, “Lemon go and wash your face, dinner is ready.”
Only father and daughter were left in the room. Zhong Yu wiped her tears and looked at her red face again with heartache, “Mom criticized you?”
Lemon is not happy, “Dad, why do you keep talking about mom?”
Zhong Yu was short of words.
“Mommy is the best mommy in the world.” She said vibrantly, biting her lip when she finished, “Daddy, are you going to marry that Xiaoqi sister?”
“What are you talking nonsense about?” Zhong Yu’s face stiffened, and then it also occurred to him that he understood that his daughter would not cry for no reason. “Who did you hear that from?”
Lemon beamed and didn’t speak.
“Lemon good boy, tell daddy.”
“Then you can’t say I said it?”
“Let’s pull the hook, lying is a puppy.” Zhong Yu stretched out his little finger, lemon pulled the hook with him, before saying, “I overheard grandma say it to mom, grandma also won’t let you be with mom, and mom was scalded by the tea.”
Zhong Yu stunned, heart welled up a bone-deep remorse, his face was silent, “What did mom say?” His voice suddenly became mellow.
“Mom didn’t say.”
Zhong Yu raised his hand and touched her head, “Okay, dad was wrong, a moment later dad and mom apologized. Go eat first.” He got up and just took a step, Lemon exclaimed, “Daddy you can walk?!”
Zhong Yu hooked the corner of his mouth, “Are you happy?”
“Uh-huh.” Lemon nodded heavily, “Daddy, mom must be very happy that your legs are better.”
Zhong Yu’s heart was bitter, he thought of the expression on Jian Mo’s face just now, and his heart was again chasing after him.
Dinner was unusually calm. In the past days, Jane Mo would chant because of the lemon dinner matter, today she didn’t say a word. Zhong Yu looked at her from time to time, she just lowered her head.
Lemon made a wink towards him, Zhong Yu dryly coughed, “This beef brisket’s flavor is good, you try it.” He chucked it into Jane Mo’s bowl, Jane Mo kept her head down, ate very little, and even more rarely chucked vegetables. Seeing Zhong Yu pinching food for her, she instantly thought of when they lived together a few years ago, and had to say that that time was the most beautiful time they spent together.
She looked at the piece of beef brisket, her gaze somewhat sunken, “I’m done eating, you guys take your time, I’ll come clean up later.” After saying that, she left the table.
“Dad, you’re useless.” Lemon disliked. “Why don’t you hurry up and apologize!”
Jian Mo sat on the sofa with the medicine box next to her, she didn’t realize it before, there were several blisters on the back of her feet, this would be a little painful by the shoes.
She carefully took off her socks, the blisters were rubbed and stuck to the crystal stockings, Jane Mo frowned, Zhong Yu pushed the door in, obviously stunned.
Jane Mo did not expect him to come in at this time, her hand could not help but move violently tear open the socks, pulling a little skin, real pain.
Zhong Yu looked at her stoic expression and rushed over, “How are you?” He didn’t ask her how she burned it, just took the medicine box.
“I’ll do it myself.” Jian Mo faintly took it from him and smeared some anti-inflammatory powder.
Zhong Yu couldn’t stand for a long time, he slowly sat on the bed, opposite her, he watched her movements in a daze, “I’m sorry.” He said.
Jane Mo’s hand movements slightly pause, just a moment and then resumed, cleaned up everything, she said gently, “nothing, you do not need to care, that is also a normal reaction.”
