In the other direction of the gate of the community, a tall, slender woman with long hair stood next to a Heizi car, looking quietly at Jing Li in front of her, with vague guilt and pity between her delicate eyebrows.
Jing Li paused, and after standing there for a long time, she finally shouted softly -
"sister in law."
Huo Qiran never thought that that woman would be Xi Xi's mother.
Jing Li never mentioned it, and he never asked. He only knew that something bad happened in her family. He only knew that Xi Xi's parents were probably gone, so Xi Xi could only follow her aunt.
But it turns out that Xi Xi’s mother is still there.
Huo Qiran sat in the car and did not move. Then, he saw the woman walking slowly in front of Jing Li.
Before this, Jing Li had never thought that Gu Wan would appear in front of her again one day.
After all, she is Xi Xi's mother, a close relative of flesh and blood, how could she be so easily cut off?
It's just that she never thought about what attitude she should use to face her, let alone how calm she would be when she really saw her.
There is no anger, no resentment, and no hatred.
She was just a little dazed, a little confused, a little... scared.
Gu Wan stood still in front of her, her eyes fell on Jing Li's face. After staying there for a long time, she finally reached out and touched her head gently, "You have lost weight."
Hearing this, Jing Li raised her eyes, looked at her for a moment, and suddenly smiled, "Sister-in-law hasn't changed much, she's still as beautiful as before."
It's the kind of beauty that my brother likes most.
That's why they were so loving and happy at that time.
"Jing Li..." Gu Wan called her softly again, and for a moment, it seemed as if she didn't know what to say.
Jing Li just looked at her, her eyes clear and pure, but for some reason, she didn't dare to look at her.
After another moment of silence, Gu Wan finally spoke: "I came back this time because I want to take Xi Xi away."
Jing Li looked at her, her eyes still clear, but she didn't make any sound.
"Jing Li." Meng Wan called her again, "I know you have worked very hard in the past two years... I was selfish and cruel at the time, leaving Xi Xi to you alone... I'm sorry."
Jing Li looked at her and still said nothing.
"You are still so young, and you can still pursue your own life. I...I can't continue to be selfish like this. I am Xi Xi's mother, and I should shoulder my own responsibilities."
After a long time, Jing Li finally said "oh" softly.
Then, she looked at Meng Wan again, still looking calm, "Where has my sister-in-law been in the past two years?"
Meng Wan raised her hand to touch her moist eyes and whispered: "I stayed abroad for two years."
"Then my sister-in-law comes back this time and wants to take Xi Xi abroad?"
"No." Meng Wan said, "Next, I will return to Tongcheng to settle down."
"Oh." Jing Li responded again, and then said, "Sister-in-law...do you have a new home?"
Meng Wan looked at her quietly for a moment, then finally nodded and said, "Almost. I'm going to get married soon."
"Then can the other party accept Xi Xi? Will he be good to Xi Xi?"
"Yes, he will." Meng Wan said, "He will accept Xi Xi and treat Xi Xi as his own daughter. You don't have to worry."
"Oh." She responded again, and after a moment of silence, she added, "Congratulations, sister-in-law."
"Jing Li..." Seeing her reaction, Meng Wan finally spoke, "Do you blame me?"
Jing Li still lowered her eyes and didn't look up at her.
Meng Wan looked at her quietly for a long time, and finally smiled bitterly, and whispered: "You are really amazing, stronger than me, braver than me, and more responsible than me... I know that you have spent the past two years to take care of Xi Xi.
, I didn’t even continue studying... Jing Li, thank you, really thank you. You have done enough, and you have suffered all the hardships you shouldn’t have to endure... It’s time for you to return to the normal track of life...
...You don’t have to worry about tuition fees, living expenses, and mother’s medical expenses, I will pay for them all... Don’t worry...just live your own life..."
After a long time, I finally heard Jing Li's voice again: "Sister-in-law, you are Xi Xi's mother. If you want to take Xi Xi away, no one has the right to stop it. I also believe that Xi Xi will be better off following you than following me.
Live a better and happier life. So, for myself and for Xi Xi, I shouldn't say anything. However, Xi Xi is still too young, and I'm afraid that she won't adapt to the changes in the environment, and her physical condition is not very good.
She was still sick last year, and I was afraid that if you took her away suddenly, she would—"
"Jing Li." Meng Wan finally reached out and held her hand without recognition, and whispered, "I didn't want to take Xi Xi away right away. I know that she also needs time to adapt to me and accept me... I just
I hope you can help me instead of blaming me..."
Jing Li looked at her for a moment and finally nodded slowly, "Okay."
For a moment, Meng Wan's eyes turned red again, and she couldn't help but raise her arms and hug her gently.
"By the way, I bought some things for Xi Xi. It's too late today and I can't bother my uncle and aunt. Can you help me give them to Xi Xi?"
"good."
Soon Meng Wan took out a big bag from the trunk of the car and handed it to Jing Li. When she was about to say something else, her cell phone suddenly rang.
She quickly picked up the phone, and after saying a few words, she said to the person on the other end of the phone: "I'll be back soon."
After hanging up the phone, Meng Wancai looked at Jing Li again and gently held her arm, "I'll pick you and Xi Xi up tomorrow. Let's go out for a day together, okay?"
Jing Li opened her mouth, subconsciously about to answer that she had something to do tomorrow, but when the words came to her mouth, she paused again, only nodded slowly and said: "Okay."
"Then I'll leave first. Can you go back and talk to Xi Xi?"
"good."
Meng Wan nodded again, "Then I'll leave first, and you should go back early."
"good."
Meng got in the car at night, looked at Jing Li again and again, and finally drove away.
Jing Li stood there, watching her car drive away quietly, until it disappeared, and then she finally slowly turned her head back.
This time she turned around and glanced at it inadvertently, she suddenly saw a familiar license plate. Looking up along the license plate, she saw the familiar face of Huo Qiran sitting in the car.
He sat there quietly, his eyes falling on her, as if he had been looking at her for a long time and saw everything just now.
Jing Li was stunned for a moment before she smiled at him again.
She walked forward slowly. Huo Qiran opened the door and got out of the car. The candy he had forgotten on the seat saw Jing Li and saw that she had been forgotten. She couldn't help barking twice.
