An's mother shook her head, "I'm fine. It's because I haven't had a good rest at night these days."
She took the initiative to take An Xiaonuan's hand and said solemnly, "Xiao Nuan, Mom has been living in such a hazy state all her life. For you, Mom doesn't want to follow Mom's old path again. You must marry into the sun with glory.
Only mom can let it go."
"But I have no feelings for him—"
"Emotions can be cultivated. Women, don't put love first. You will suffer a lot. You will know later if you are careful."
Although An Xiaonuan wanted to say that the relationship that can be cultivated is not love, but family affection.
But she still chose to remain silent.
Sometimes, elders always see further than younger ones.
After sitting for a while, An's mother said she wanted to go upstairs to take a nap, and An Xiaonuan followed her into her mother's bedroom.
It's still spotless inside.
Not far away is the wedding photo of stepfather and mother.
She stopped looking any further, and when she was about to turn around, she found that An's mother had fallen asleep.
Her face looked tired and slightly pale.
Just as An Xiaonuan walked around the end and walked inside, the scene in front of her shocked her.
The blood stains on the ground spread over a large area, the red was enchanting, and the red was dazzling.
The blood stains reached all the way to the bathroom door. She quickly opened the bathroom door and squatted in the wastebasket to relieve herself. Her eyes were moist.
There was a basket full of tissues covered in blood.
How did you get all this blood?
She was eager to know the answer.
An Xiaonuan went to check An's mother's body gently, but found no wounds. In the end, she had to go out.
This question stayed in her heart, like a wound, making her feel a dull pain.

When An Xing came back, he found her at home, "Why are you at home so early today?"
"Come back and get something."
An carefully nodded and went back to his room. He came out half an hour later. He had changed his clothes and put on makeup on his face. He carried his bag and said, "Your brother-in-law invited me to dinner tonight. Tell aunt that I won't be back tonight."
have eaten."
Before An Xiaonuan could respond, An Xiaonuan walked quickly towards the door of the living room, very anxious.
Since he made an appointment with An to have dinner tonight, he didn't need to go there tonight.
Thinking of this, she let out a long breath.
In the evening, it started snowing outside.
There were only An Xiaonuan and An's mother at the dining table, and the others were not at home.
Even An's father didn't come back.
An's mother looked even worse. An Xiaonuan lowered her head and ate. The mother and daughter sat together without saying much.
After eating, An's mother still went upstairs. An Xiaonuan was left in the living room. She couldn't stay any longer, so she put on her down jacket and hat and went out.
As we were walking, there was light snow falling in the sky. After a while, the ground was already covered with a layer of white.
Every step you take leaves a footprint.
A fancy car stopped quickly next to her, splashing a layer of snowflakes, and Lin Jiaoyang opened the door and got out.
"boarding."
An Xiaonuan raised her face, and the snowflakes fell on her skin, giving her a slight chill.
"Where are you going?"
Lin Jiaoyang grabbed her hand and pushed her into the passenger seat. He walked around the front of the car and got into the driver's seat.
"If you don't hold an umbrella, you're going somewhere."
“Just take a stroll and enjoy the beautiful scenery.”
Lin Jiaoyang took out a hand warmer bag and handed it to her, "Here, it's charging at any time to warm your hands."
