When Zhong Yu took Lemon back to his parents’ house, he saw Han Ruo in the living room as soon as he entered the door. His eyes flashed with surprise, since the last time he and she explained the words, the two of them did not know each other. Han Ruoh would even come to his home today? He frowned without moving.
Han Ruo naturally will he this small action in the bottom of the eyes, the heart pumped, some pain. She stood up, the corners of her mouth grinning lightly, “I have some things I want to ask aunts and uncles for help.”
Mother Zhong has already taken over the lemon’s school bag, “Grandma will take you to wash your hands first.” When she spoke, she looked at Zhong Yu, slightly reproachful.
Zhong Yu walked to the edge of the coffee table, expression faint.
Tan Ruo looked at the tea in front of the still bubbling hot, look a little sad, “my sister-in-law father was arrested.”
Zhong Yu also heard of this matter, he did not say whether. Zhou Weiping’s career in the past few years is too smooth to see, looking at the general election, naturally want to take some people to start, just Zhou Weiping was moved is something he did not expect.
“You may not know.” Tan Ruo paused, looking at Zhong Yu’s flat expression, “Zhou Mo, no, Jian Mo is the daughter of her sister-in-law’s ex-wife.” As expected, she saw the stunned look under Zhong Yu’s eyes. Tan Ruo hooked the corner of her mouth, “What happened to sister-in-law’s father was all done by mother and daughter.”
“Mother and daughter?” Zhong Yu frowned.
“Ning Qingyuan’s stepmother is Jane Mo’s mother.”
Zhong Yu was indeed shocked for a split second, he hadn’t thought that there was this layer of relationship here. Now that he thought about it, it was no wonder that Nie Qing Ran would let Zhou Jincheng transfer to another school.
Zhong Yu also guessed the purpose of Tan Ruo’s visit, his eyes flickered and his voice was cold, “Tan Ruo, why did you come to my house if you knew they did it?” He narrowed his eyes slightly, “Do you think that with my current relationship with Jian Mo I will help you?”
Tan Ruo’s heart was stunned, how could she not have thought of all this. How could she not understand. It was only a desperate move for her to come to him today, she wouldn’t have been willing to come if there was a way. It was just that she couldn’t see her sister-in-law’s disillusioned appearance, and Jin Cheng crying out for her father …… She tightly clenched her ten fingers, ”Zhong Yu, I also have no other way. My family has now explicitly ordered that they will not care about my Zhou family’s affairs. But in the end that is my own sister-in-law. I can’t just sit back and do nothing.”
Lemon washed her hands and bounced to Zhong Yu’s side, “Daddy, let’s go feed Little White together, okay?” Little White was the rabbit Zhong Yu bought for her, snow white all the way with two reddish eyes.
Tan Ruo’s gaze turned to Lemon, “Lemon, remember me?”
Lemon smiled towards her, “Zhou Jincheng’s sister-in-law.”
Tan Ruo looked at her eyes that were the same as Zhong Yu’s, a wave of acidity surged in her heart, “Jincheng has been reading about you, when are you going to find Jincheng to play?”
Lemon’s eyes turned, pulling Zhong Yu’s hand, “What do you think dad?”
What a smart girl, Tan Ruo thought to herself.
“Later.” Zhong Yu said faintly, turning her eyes to look at Tan Ruo, “Forgive me for not being able to do anything about this matter, please return.”
Tan Ruo sighed, “Even though I guessed the answer a long time ago, I still held on to one point of hope.” Hope turned into disappointment in the end.
“Sorry for the disturbance.”
Tan Ruo struggled to walk out of the Zhong family’s courtyard door, subconsciously turned her head, she saw Zhong Yu squatting, delicate shirt sleeves casually rumbled, holding a carrot in the side of his hand, the corner of his mouth did not know what to say again, over there Lemon came Lemon giggling.
She raised her head and looked ahead, her heart is cold, this man has never had a trace of affection for himself.
At night, Zhong Yu told three stories before Lemon fell asleep. He turned the light of the wall lamp weaker gently bring the door. When he came out, he happened to see his mother still downstairs. He paused for a moment and walked downstairs.
“Mom, it’s late, aren’t you resting?”
The room was quiet, Yang Qiong raised her eyebrows and looked at him, “You know all about the Zhou family.” Her voice was permeated with a bit of solemnity.
Zhong Yu sat to the side, slightly silent, “I also didn’t expect Zhou Weiping to be Jian Mo’s father.”
Yang Qiong looked at him and couldn’t help but sigh a little, “I also heard a little about that child back then. The first time I saw Mrs. Ning I felt a bit familiar, and I didn’t expect her to be Jane Mo’s mother.”
Zhong Yu rubbed his sour brow, only to hear Yang Qiong say, “When her father and daughter had their accident, she was only in her third year of high school, her mother committed suicide, and she sent her mother to the hospital all by herself. Later, I heard that she took the knife to find Nie Qingran, Nie Qingran miscarried. Then his parents divorced, she was awarded to her father, but was taken away by her uncle.”
Zhong Yu’s heart has an indescribable feeling, heartache and heartache after regret and helplessness one by one pierced her heart. The lamp shadow hit his side face, only to see his tight jaw deep eyes.
“Son, you broke someone else’s girl’s heart.” Yang Qiong said all she could, she was also a mother, and equally a woman. Jian Mo’s strength was slowly built up from weakness, and his son was one of the accomplices.
Zhong Yu sat there motionless, a heavy sadness enveloping his body. He slowly clasped his head in his hands, at the beginning of her wholehearted trust in himself, he gave her nothing more than a false panic that he had fabricated.
Zhong Yu bit by bit grasped his hair, he thought of Jane Mo left himself before that unusually calm face, pain to the extreme to be so calm. That night, Zhong Yu finally tasted that kind of cone of pain to the heart.
The day before Jane Mo and Ning Qingyuan left, Zhong Yu took a day off to accompany her daughter to the hospital. Ning Qingyuan looked much better than a few days ago. Seeing him did not have more expression, Zhong Yu found that since he and his acquaintance, every time and Ning Qingyuan fight, he is always a cold and quiet look to him.
Jian Mo poured a cup of water and handed it to him, Zhong Yu swallowed his throat, “Thank you.” He carried the cup of water and sat quietly on the side, for a while the ward became rushed.
“JOHN, are you picking at your food again?” Lemon asked softly as she took his hand.
The corners of Ning Qingyuan’s thin mouth rose slightly, a doting smile at the corner of his eyes, “Yes, so Lemon can’t be a picky eater from now on.” Lemon loved to be a picky eater, and Ning Qingyuan told her that babies who were picky eaters would get sick, and the doctor would come and give her an injection.
Lemon nodded and touched his hand heartily, “You have to get better quickly.”
Zhong Yu inclined his head to look at Ning Qingyuan, to put aside in the past he saw lemon and Ning Qingyuan so close interaction, Zhong Yu this heart is bound to eat, but now the heart is full of emotion, this person man to Jane Mo and lemon’s pay so that he has no face to face, but he can not let go.
“Lemon will remember john when he grows up?” Ning Qingyuan said softly. The quilt in Jane Mo’s hand fell to the floor in response to the sound of the quilt, and she met the gazes of those three people in haste, her fingertips trembling lightly.
A hint of helplessness flashed under Ning Qingyuan’s eyes.
“Mom, you’re too careless.” Lemon bristled.
Zhong Yu stepped forward, “I’ll do it.” As if she hadn’t heard him, Jian Mo remained squatting there. He firmly grasped her hand, the two of them were head to head, and in the time it took for Jane Mo to get out of her head for a while, the floor had already been cleaned up.
Lemon wrapped her arms around Ning Qingyuan’s half next door, “Mom, you haven’t thanked my dad yet.”
Jane Mo hung her head low and said in a muffled voice, “Thank you.”
Lemon smiled cheekily at Zhong Yu and turned her head to Ning Qingyuan, “JOHN, I’ll definitely remember you when I grow up. Dad said that I’m as smart as he is, I’ll definitely remember.”
Ning Qingyuan glanced at Zhong Yu, his eyes somewhat deep. He had to say that he still envied Zhong Yu, he and Jian Mo met too early.
The two flagging men eyed each other, indeed not saying a word.
When Zhong Yu brought the child to leave, the moment he turned around, he softly said, “All the best.” He was sincere.
Ning Qingyuan gathered his brows and hooked the corner of his mouth, “Thank you.”
Jian Mo accompanied them downstairs for a rare family dinner. Zhong Yu took them to a Chinese restaurant. Lemon already knows how to use chopsticks, only she’s not skillful yet, and the dishes fall out before they reach her mouth. Jane Mo let her entertain herself, feeding her a few bites from time to time.
Zhong Yu’s gaze stayed on Jane Mo, Jane Mo raised her eyes to look at him, he apologetically hooked the corner of his mouth, “Is everything ready?”
“Uh-huh.” She faintly answered.
Zhong Yu brought up his wine glass and took a shallow sip, “Actually, I don’t want you to accompany him.” There were too many variables here too many.
Jian Mo did not really care to draw the corners of his mouth, “It’s just your personal preference.”
“Yeah.” Zhong Yu sighed, “If you get along with him, I’ll hide Lemon so you can’t see her for the rest of your life.” He rinsed up his eyes rather like a bully.
Jian Mo fed Lemon a mouthful of soup and gently wiped the corners of her mouth for her before he turned his face away, “Director Zhong, let me advise you one thing, get married early. Well – your parents should be in a hurry, children? you want a few, the country does not give birth, you can go abroad.”
Zhong Yu fixedly looked at her eyebrows, the lights in the hall were too bright, he suddenly felt a little shaky, “There will be no children.”
Jane Mo was puzzled and looked at him.
Zhong Yu loosened his bow tie, “I tied my knot.”
Jane Mo was stunned, her eyes stiffly rested on the cat’s eye-like cufflinks on his cuffs, and for a moment her brain felt like it had been drained of its consciousness by something.
Zhong Yu looked at her face full of shock, his eyebrows gradually softened, “Lemon is so cute, how can I afford to have another one to share fatherly love with her.”
