You Tong was stunned for a moment and quickly stopped talking. He stared at Zhao Wanhua and saw that her eyes were covered with a faint layer of sadness.
Zhao Wanhua stretched out her hand to hold You Tong's hand, her brows furrowed slightly, a little helpless, as if she had something to say but couldn't say it. Judging from her expression, she knew that the words were difficult to say.
You Tong held her hand and said comfortingly, "Mom, if you have something to say, just say it. Whether you blame me or blame me, I am willing to bear it..."
"No, Xiaotong." Zhao Wanhua unconsciously tightened her grip and said softly but forcefully, "Xiaotong, my mother didn't blame you for what happened that night. I was just too shocked and didn't know what to do.
What did you say..." The voice suddenly dropped again, "And on that occasion, I couldn't recognize you... I know that Jia Qi's character is too willful, which is why something like that happened, but... But this
After all, the matter is related to you. Jia Qi went to Hong Kong to avoid the media. She has always been pampered and she can be said to have escaped this time. And your Uncle Li is sick and will need a heart stent surgery in a few days, so... So I recently
I'm probably going to be very busy. I'm afraid I won't have time to see you again, and it's not very convenient either..."
You Tong's eyes froze, and she felt an indescribable feeling in her heart. Was she going to lose her mother again?! She didn't even have the chance to meet her?!
"Xiaotong, this is only temporary. When your Uncle Li completes the operation and gets better, mom can still find a chance to meet you..." Zhao Wanhua said anxiously, trying to comfort her.
You Tong nodded, swallowed his sobs, and said softly, "I know, Mom, I know everything."
In such a situation, my mother is naturally in trouble. She caused Li Jiaqi to hide in Hong Kong, and even caused Uncle Li to get sick and need an operation. If my mother continues to see her, where will this put the Li family?!
After all, my mother is now a member of the Li family, so the first thing to consider is of course the Li family's position.
As for her, she can only give in, unlimited concessions.
"Madam, sir, the dressing on the bottle needs to be changed. Should you change it or..." The servant of the Li family came down the stairs and asked softly.
Zhao Wanhua turned around and replied, "I'll do it."
"Yes, hurry up, this bottle is almost finished." The servant glanced in the direction of You Tong.
Zhao Wanhua said "hmm" and turned around. You Tong immediately stood up from the sofa and said softly, "Mom, go take care of Uncle Li quickly. I'll leave first."
"Xiaotong..." Zhao Wanhua stopped her, but she didn't know what to say. It didn't matter whether she stayed or not.
Seeing that Zhao Wanhua was a little embarrassed, You Tong immediately lied and said, "Mom, I have something to do for a while. I really should go." Afraid that Zhao Wanhua wouldn't believe it, she quickly added, "I have made an appointment with everyone. Let's go."
Let’s eat burgers at McDonald’s. There is a lottery today.”
As the car drove from the airport, she seemed to have seen such a banner advertisement on a certain street.
At that time, she was still thinking about how long it had been since she had eaten a hamburger. It seemed like a long, long, long time, so long that she could hardly remember it.
When she was a child, she lived in a small fishing village in Tainan. It was not as developed as a big city and there were no McDonald's restaurants. Later when she grew up and came to Taipei to study, McDonald's restaurants were everywhere, but she didn't want to eat them because she was already past that age.
I’ve passed that childlike age where I longed to go to McDonald’s with my parents to eat hamburgers and play games.
"That's it..." Zhao Wanhua breathed a sigh of relief, "Okay, you go first."
"Yes." You Tong nodded, turned and walked towards the door, "Goodbye, mom."
"Goodbye." Zhao Wanhua saw her off, but suddenly said, "It's raining outside, I'll ask the driver to take you off!"
"No, mom, I brought my own umbrella."
"Then be careful on the road." Zhao Wanhua warned.
"Okay, I get it, Mom."
Under the guidance of the Li family's servant, You Tong left through the small side door next to the gate. Just like when she came in, the servant held an umbrella for her. After leaving the gate, she walked into the rain alone.
In fact, she didn't bring an umbrella at all. She had just gotten off the plane and she hadn't even returned home. Where did she get the umbrella? Moreover, she didn't want to hold one.
My heart is wet, why should I care about this little bit of rain?!
Although her mother did not blame her, did not blame her, and did not resent her, but... why did she still feel so uncomfortable in her heart, as if it was more sour than being scolded or even beaten?!
After leaving the gate of Li's house, You Tong walked along the wide road with empty steps, then walked into the rain, letting the fine raindrops fall silently on her hair and dress, and her cold little face was completely covered by the rain.
Got wet.
Nearby is the most elite area of Yangming Mountain, surrounded by high-end villa areas. The scenery on both sides of the road is pleasant. Walking on the road with gradually deepening light, you can feel the scene of flourishing flowers, but who has written all the loneliness in the long sighs of the years?
?!
Did it suddenly rain heavily? Why did her face suddenly become even more wet?!
She didn't know if she was crying. She only knew that her vision was getting blurry. Was it tears?! Or was the rain running into her eyes?! Or, they were already intertwined and couldn't be distinguished?!

It was past six o'clock, and due to the weather, it was getting dark. A light shadow on the clean and straight road was like a wandering spirit, walking in one direction, and walking.
In the opposite direction, a silver-gray car sped past.
In the back seat of the car, Li Yuanhang was taking a nap because of the fatigue and fatigue of the past few days. Suddenly, as if being pulled by some force, he suddenly opened his eyes and subconsciously looked sideways out of the car window.
At this moment, his cell phone suddenly rang.
"General Manager, Shenghua Company suddenly regretted the case that it had negotiated with us..." The assistant's anxious voice came urgently from the phone.
Li Yuanhang frowned slightly, adding another insult to injury. In just a few days, Li has lost one partner after another. The last "Green Coast" project caused Li to encounter an economic crisis, and now Li has encountered a public relations crisis.
Crises come one after another.
Another text message came from the phone - Brother, I want to go home. I am so lonely in Hong Kong!
After pressing the phone, Li Yuanhang couldn't help but start to reflect on whether he had done something wrong by spoiling this sister since he was a child. When will she grow up?!
Another beautiful figure flashed through my mind uncontrollably. It was slender and thin, like a grass, but it had a steely stubbornness in its bones.
He turned his head unconsciously and stared out the car window. There was no one on the wide road.

After walking a long, long way, You Tong finally felt that she couldn't walk anymore. She had already missed several bus stops, and she stood still, feeling a little lost. She looked around and found a community park not far ahead.
, the steps walked over naturally.
The rain had stopped at this moment. In the park, children were playing and playing, and some adults were walking with their dogs. She was attracted by the leisure scene in front of her. She wanted to ask someone for directions, but suddenly she didn't want to ask.
I found a pavilion and sat down slowly.
Probably because the air is good after the rain, there are many people in the park. There are young lovers walking hand in hand, elderly couples walking with each other's support, and a family of three sharing snacks and laughing, which is very sweet.
You Tong was unconsciously looking at it, and it wasn't until a small rubber ball rolled to her feet that she was brought back from her wandering thoughts.
"Sister, my ball." A cute little boy walked in front of her, his face slightly wrinkled.
She smiled tenderly at the little boy, bent down to pick up the ball at her feet, wiped it clean, and then handed it to him, "Here you go, be careful next time!"
"Thank you, sister!" The little boy hugged the ball with a smile, his eyes twinkling and bright, and suddenly said, "Sister, let me tell you a secret!"
"Huh?!" You Tong blinked curiously.
The little boy came slightly closer to her and whispered, "Sister is so beautiful, she is the second most beautiful person in the world!"
"Then who is the most beautiful person?!"
"Of course it's mom!" the little boy said proudly.
You Tong was stunned for a moment and smiled unconsciously. It turned out that in the eyes and hearts of every child, mother is the most beautiful and the best. This is irreplaceable.
The little boy blinked his bright black eyes, then suddenly lay next to her ear and whispered, "I will tell my sister another secret."
Is there a secret?!
You Tong couldn't help but laugh, amused by the child's innocent words, and asked softly, "What other secrets are there?!"
"There's an uncle over there who's been watching you!" The little boy pointed in a direction.
You Tong was suspicious and turned his head. He was frightened by the man who appeared in his sight instantly, and his eyes immediately widened.
