Zhong Yu heard her words, his gaze instantly became deep, “One o’clock in the afternoon Hua Ao, the lawyers will explain one by one, what I really want to do.” He said word by word slowly and low.
Jane Mo put down the phone, her face was as silent as water, staring blankly at the sky, her heart was sour. She squinted her eyes, her mind constantly turning back with Zhong Yu from acquaintance to date.
It turned out to be so long ago, so long that she did not know how many parts her heart is divided into.
Her home, her love, finally abandoned her once and for all. She could not hold on to it.
She stretched out her hands and looked closely at the lines in her palms, a break in the middle of her love line was so clear. Was everything predestined?
She hooked the corner of her mouth and smiled sadly.
When Ning Qingyuan walked in, he saw her slumped figure, causing his heart to lurch.
“Jian Mo–”
She quickly gathered the expression on her face and turned her head to hold a faint smile, “You’re back?”
Ning Qingyuan walked over and stood side by side with her in front of the glass.
“Aren’t you afraid of heights and still leaning so close.” Jian Mo said.
Ning Qingyuan was silent for a moment, “Just wanted to feel the feeling of panic.”
Jane Mo slanted a glance at him, “Quirk.”
Ning Qingyuan turned around, his tall figure blocked in front of her, his complexion cold.
“What’s wrong?” Jane Mo was slightly surprised.
“Why didn’t you tell Lemon that day that he took him away?”
Jane Mo shrugged, “There were too many things going on, and Auntie just happened to ……”
Ning Qingyuan suddenly cut off her words, “Jane Mo, don’t hide things like this from me in the future. Remember that we are a family.”
A family ah. Jian Mo fluttered her eyelashes gently. Indeed, we are a family.
She sighed, “Qingyuan, thank you for all these years.”
Ning Qingyuan’s brow gave a quick throb, and for a long time, the stiff corners of his mouth only spat out three words, “Silly girl.”
Jian Mo hadn’t thought that one day Zhou Weiping would personally come to her. Looking at the person across from her, how many years had it been since she had surveyed him so meticulously. The heavens had really treated her favorably, he didn’t seem to have changed much over the years.
Zhou Weiping personally poured a cup of Duyun Mao Jian for her.
“I still remember you were only this tall when you were learning the art of tea, in the blink of an eye, you’re the mother of a child.”
Jane Mo was expressionless and silent.
“Lemon that child is very cute, Jin Cheng and her are very much in tune with each other, probably this is the blood relationship.” He seems to remember something, “Jin Cheng-” for a moment he is slightly embarrassed, his own youngest son is actually the average size of his daughter’s child.
Jane Mo looked at the dense curling mist, eyes slightly hazy, if anything, pulled the corner of his mouth, “Then Mr. Zhou still remember who taught me the art of tea?” Her gaze instantly looked at him coldly.
Zhou Weiping’s face palpitated slightly, “Mo Mo, I know that you have always resented me, and I am very sorry for your mother. You were still young at the time, you simply couldn’t understand things in our time.”
Jian Mo’s pupils tightened little by little.
“Your Auntie Nie and I ……”
“Shut up!” She stood up violently, the movement was so big that it even overturned the tea in front of her, her crimson eyes, staring at him dead on, “Are you trying to say that you and Nie Qing Ran truly love each other, and that the marriage with my mom is just a responsibility. Heh, you don’t need to emphasize it over and over again in front of me, otherwise I will only think that you are …… vain.”
Zhou Weiping stiffened, the corners of his eyes twitching.
“Mayor Zhou, if you’re just asking me to come and catch up today, then there’s no need for that, and today and even afterward, I’ve never wanted to have a single relationship with you guys again.”
The tea slowly slid down the edge of the table, dripping onto the backs of her feet with a burning sensation. She exhaled, her slender fingers slowly opening her bag and pulling out a card, pushing it unceremoniously in front of him.
“A long time ago, I wanted to return this card to its rightful owner. The living expenses you gave us, I’ll return it to you as is today.”
Zhou Weiping’s eyes flashed with dull pain, and the corners of his mouth shivered.
“Do you have any idea what kind of mood I’m in when I mention my mother from your mouth?” She bit her lip tightly, “Do you know how deep those two cuts my mom made back then? How much blood she bled? Do you know that? Have you ever thought that your daughter has suffered from bloodsickness ever since?”
She snorted, “You don’t know! You know that you are immersed in the grief of Nie Qing Ran’s miscarriage, but have you thought about my mom for a second? And your daughter?”
Her eyes snapped, “I’ve always remembered the saying, a name is not a name. Regardless of whether you and Nie Qing Ran were in true love or whatever, at least my mom was your wife in name only at that time.”
“Jian Mo, sit down.” Zhou Weiping’s face flushed red as he said sternly, “Is this how you treat your father?”
“Dad?” Jane Mo laughed, her nose and eyes were sore like drops of eye drops in general tears couldn’t stop overflowing, but she still swallowed, “These two words were erased from my life long ago in my senior year of high school.” How hard she had to be to cut that love off!
“Your child is Zhou Jincheng, not me, Jian Mo.”
Zhou Weiping’s chest heaved up and down, saying with some difficulty, “I came here today to talk to you about Lemon, is she your and Zhong Yu’s child?”
She looked at him with a cold heart, “This doesn’t seem to have a single thing to do with you.”
Zhou Weiping let out a deep sigh, “Even if you don’t recognize me I’m always your father, a child must have a complete home after all ……”
“But wasn’t my home destroyed by your own hands?” She spoke faintly.
“Over the years, Zhong Yu and I have also had contact. Since there is a child, the two of you ……” His words had not yet finished, Jane Mo immediately said, “I don’t need you to care about my business!”
Not knowing why against such Zhou Weiping, more anger inexplicably surged through her heart.
“What are you after this time? Trying to climb in-laws with the Zhong family?”
“Is that how you see your father?”
Jian Mo took a dark breath, “Then how can I look at it?” She blinked, “If I told you that he was just playing with me in the first place, would you still want to facilitate our affair?”
Zhou Weiping’s face instantly paled a few points, looking straight at Jane Mo, strangely unable to say a single word. Jane Mo’s words made his heart as cold as a cold winter month, how could he think of the truth about his daughter’s unmarried childbearing.
“Don’t come back to me.” She slowly turned around, each word not carrying the slightest bit of temperature, “I think Nie Qing Ran must not know that you came to see me.”
Zhou Weiping’s face flashed with a few moments of wolfishness.
Step by step, Jian Mo walked outside.
Between father and daughter is also about a destiny, between her and him it was ultimately too shallow a father-daughter destiny.
When she came out she looked at the time, it was almost one o’clock. She pulled a smile with a careless face. Drove straight to Hua Ao. The waiter guided her into the private room.
There were already two people sitting inside, Zhong Yu turned his face, his face was cold to the core, he raised his hand and looked at his watch, “1:34, Ms. Jane.”
Jane Mo skimmed her eyes, “Sorry, traffic jam on the road. If you can please also ask Bureau Zhong to carry a message for us taxpayers, C City’s transportation needs to be improved.”
Zhong Yu leaned back in his chair, his eyes gazing at her, smiling at her, “This is you.”
Jian Mo was slightly stunned, this sentence of his made her instantly puzzled.
The lawyer sat there, his face expressionless. Jane Mo’s gaze turned away and finally landed on the lawyer’s briefcase.
Zhong Yu’s eyes slightly austere, “Take a look.” He handed out a document.
“No need.” Jian Mo said directly, “You have something to say.”
The lawyer was stunned.
Zhong Yu’s face became increasingly unsightly, “This is the DNA report of Lemon and I. I think you know the results best.”
“I want custody of the child.” He said calmly.
The atmosphere sank all of a sudden, Jian Mo crossed him to look straight at the blooming hyacinths behind him, she remembered that he used to keep a pot of them, only that they were later killed by her, and she hadn’t had time to get rid of them when she left him.
The lawyer coughed dryly a few times, “Miss Jane, this is the condition Mr. Zhong has opened, the compensation has been written in this agreement, you can take a look.”
Jane Mo’s eyebrows flickered with gloom, she took over to look at a quick scan, the sourness in her heart was getting swollen, her fingers seemed to be stiff and weak.
Zhong Yu looked at her bloodless face, for a moment the words he had stuck in his throat were almost all going to come out after breaking his throat, “Mo Mo, let’s start over.”
“Bureau Zhong, you are so generous.” She slowly closed the agreement, her eyes met his ink-colored pupils, obviously close in close in the eyes, Zhong Yu but found himself unable to see her eye color at all.
“But our Ning family won’t be short of this money.” She coldly tugged at the corner of her mouth, “Otherwise I’ll pay you double the money and you give up the so-called custody.”
That lawyer looked at Jian Mo in a daze and couldn’t help but admire her for a few moments, his eyes flashing with a few moments of praise. When he saw Zhong Yu’s poker face again, he quickly restrained his expression, “Ms. Jane, if you think the compensation is less, we can talk again.”
“Attorney Zhang, please go back first.” Zhong Yu tried his best to restrain his emotions that were about to explode.
Lawyer Zhang looked at the saber-rattling atmosphere, “Alright, young Zhong, I’ll go back first.”
“Your Ning family?” He pronounced it slowly, word by word, “I don’t know what made you a member of the Ning family?” All he cared about was Lemon’s surname. His child was so spoiled with another man’s last name.
Ning Meng.
“Her last name is Ning.”
“She is my daughter.”
Jian Mo was slightly silent and looked at him calmly, “Zhong Yu, why are you so persistent. You’re not the one who has to lemon this daughter.”
“That’s my business.” His expression flickered for a moment. Jane Mo only felt a little dazed.
Jane Mo was helpless and exhaled, “If you want to use legal means to solve this matter now, I will accompany you to the end.” Zhong Yu’s chest felt like it had been hit hard by something.
“I really don’t understand what you want to fight for. You won that game, what are your grievances. Is it because my initial performance didn’t follow your script and you didn’t see me in pain and sorrow? Then I’ll tell you now. Jong Yu, I really loved you, deeply, from that time in high school. When I knew that you pursued me just for a bet, I almost broke down, my whole heart hurts already numb. I have never told you, senior year of high school that year why I took a break from school, because my mother because my father cheated on me and committed suicide …… ” she slowly closed her eyes.
Little by little, she tore open the wounds she once had, and a dull pain surged through her chest.
Zhong Yu’s face was as silent as death.
“Is it enough? What else do you want to hear?” Jane Mo bit her lip and asked.
