Ye Qiaoxi didn't expect it to be like this. Sitting across from them, she didn't know what to say. She knew that her cousin had a good nature, so comforting her would only make her feel embarrassed.
"Hungry, I'm hungry," Guan Ziyu stared at the fruits on the table and swallowed.
An Ran said with some embarrassment, "I'm sorry, we finally found this place, but we barely had anything to eat when we came out in the morning."
"Yeah," Ye Qiaoxi stood up quickly, "Cousin, you sit down for a while. I'm going to prepare lunch now. Let's chat while eating." After that, he walked into the kitchen.
"Thanks."
After Mommy left, Arthur sat across from the two of them and turned his eyes slightly, "Auntie, what do you want to do with Mommy?"
An Ran was startled and looked at this child who was only six years old. The pair of deep pupils that were exactly the same as Lan Xichen made her feel nervous for no reason. She smiled softly and asked without answering, "Your name is Arthur?"
"My name is Lan Luoyu, you can call me Arthur."
"Haha, this is our first time meeting and we will inevitably be a little unfamiliar. It will be good if we meet more often in the future." An Ran looked like a kind elder. To her, Arthur was just a child.
Arthur raised his eyebrows, not ignoring the meaning of her words, but calmly lowering his eyes, "Auntie, you don't want to live here, do you?"
It was only then that An Ran took another look at Arthur. His wisdom and maturity were obviously much higher than those of children of the same age, and Lan Xichen's figure could be seen everywhere. This was the son of Ye Qiaoxi and Lan Xichen, who was too beautiful.
He was too smart and looked like an elf. He slowly grabbed the corners of his clothes with his hands, tightening his grip tighter and tighter.
She smiled, turned around, grabbed Guan Ziyu's hand, and said with a satisfied expression, "No matter where I go, as long as I can stay with my mother."
Arthur looked at her quietly, without speaking, but jumped off the chair, turned around and walked into the kitchen.
Looking at Ye Qiaoxi who was busy in a ball, he walked over with a frown on his face and said, "Mommy,"
"Huh?" Ye Qiaoxi responded casually, "Are you hungry too? Wait a moment, Mommy will be ready soon."
Arthur grabbed her and said word by word, "Mommy, if Auntie Taiyi asks you to live here, you must refuse."
Ye Qiaoxi looked at his son in confusion, "Arthur?"
"Mommy, you must refuse." Arthur repeated and immediately walked out of the kitchen.
Ye Qiaoxi tilted her head and thought for a while, and the movements of her hands were much slower. She understood what her son meant. The things that happened before were all painful memories for them. Especially since her cousin had been in prison for several years,
Auntie has been staying in the mental hospital again. If she hadn't gone abroad due to emotional injuries, all of this should be her responsibility. However, she did nothing. Frankly speaking, she always felt a little bit owed by the An family for causing today's results.
She sighed softly and sped up her movements. In a short time, lunch was already on the table. She quickly greeted An Ran and Guan Ziyu, "Cousin, aunt, it's time to eat. Haha, my craftsmanship is average, you guys
Just don’t laugh at me."
An Ran helped An Ziyu sit down and said with a smile, "How is that possible? It must be delicious."
Guan Ziyu's eyes widened suddenly. When he saw the food on the table, he immediately broke away from his daughter, sat down, grabbed chopsticks and ate.
"Mom!" An Ran wanted to stop her but was stopped by Ye Qiaoxi. Seeing her aunt devouring her food, she felt like something was choking her throat. She walked over and sat next to her and helped her carry the vegetables considerately, "Auntie
,eat quickly."
"Oh, it's delicious," Guan Ziyu smiled naively at Ye Qiaoxi while eating. When he saw her looking at him intently, he quickly handed over a piece of chicken drumstick, "Xixi, eat it."
"Auntie, please eat, I'm not hungry." Ye Qiaoxi couldn't bear it any longer. She turned away and quietly wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes. The guilt and uneasiness in her heart grew bigger and bigger like a bottomless black hole.
An Ran sat quietly on the other side, eating in small bites. She raised her head and smiled at Ye Qiaoxi, "It's delicious." Then she lowered her eyes dimly, "This is the best thing we have eaten in this month."
Something delicious.”
Hearing her cousin's words, Ye Qiaoxi could not imagine what kind of life their mother and daughter lived.
"Cousin, where do you live now?"
An Ran's hand movements stagnated, and she twitched the corners of her mouth stiffly, "My mother and I are temporarily living in a shelter."
"Shelter?" Ye Qiaoxi's voice trembled slightly, and her eyes began to turn red.
"Well, it's not bad there. They give out two loaves of bread every day." An Ran said calmly, as if he had learned to be calm a long time ago.
While Guan Ziyu was eating, she didn't forget to give the meat to her daughter, "It's delicious, eat it."
An Ran's head dropped even lower, and her shoulders shook violently, "It's all my fault that I can't support my mother, so she suffered so much."
"Cousin..." Ye Qiaoxi held her hand and burst into tears, "Don't be like this. No matter what difficulties you have, you should come to me. After all, we are relatives."
Arthur stood aside and looked at them coldly. He walked over slowly and said, "Mommy, you can't even take care of yourself, how can you help others? You'd better call Daddy. Daddy will definitely have a way."
An Ran's eyes flashed with something strange, and he held Ye Qiaoxi with his backhand, "Xixi, don't get me wrong, my mother and I just came here this time to apologize for what happened in the past. More than six years of prison life have made me understand that I
How wrong I was before. I took a relationship that didn't belong to me as everything, and even deceived my best sister. Now, I really regret it. I just want to ask you to forgive me!"
Ye Qiaoxi couldn't hold back anymore and stretched out his arms to hug her, "Cousin, let the past go! I will never forget who often helped me review my homework and gave me pocket money..." She
He took a deep breath and stroked An Ran's back, "Let's not mention those unpleasant things. The most important thing now is to cure aunt's illness."
"Yes!" An Ran nodded vigorously, "Thank you, Xixi."
An Ran and her aunt have always been a pain in Ye Qiaoxi's heart. Today, she is so happy to be able to put an end to the past. Only Arthur is watching them with a cold face. Aunt Nina has often mentioned that this mother and daughter are
How to treat mommy. Even if mommy can forgive them quickly, he can't.
After lunch, Guan Ziyu was obviously much closer to Ye Qiaoxi. He held her hand and sat together, caressing her cheek lovingly, and called her name, "Xixi, Xixi..."
As if thinking of something, An Ran quickly pulled out a photo from her body and handed it over, "Xixi, I found this photo when I was sorting out my mother's things."
