In the past, Ye Xi would never have thought that one day she would sit with Huo Jinxi and talk about the past about Mu Qian.
Obviously last time, when Huo Jinxi tried to learn about Mu Qian's past from her, she responded indifferently and turned around and left without hesitation. But today, when she saw Huo Jinxi's figure in front of Xiaoxiao's grave
At that moment, I felt a little shaken in my heart.
It was this wavering that made her sit here.
Before that, in her mind, Huo Jinxi was a scumbag who came from a so-called "rich family" and thought he was superior, but in reality he was a scumbag with despicable methods and deceitful feelings.
But today, the Huo Jinxi she saw seemed to be a little bit sincere.
Ye Xi is not sure how much such sincerity is worth, but what if Mu Qian is destined to be entangled with this man?
There were all kinds of tangles and hesitations in her heart, but in the end, the grievances and unwillingness she had witnessed all the way about Mu Qian broke out all at once.
"She came to Philadelphia after being kicked out of the Huo family by you. I originally thought that after leaving the Huo family, she could at least go back to her mother. This was also a kind of comfort. But when I came to see her after the college entrance examination, I discovered that she was completely
She is so thin that she is almost out of shape. Her mother doesn't love her, and she still thinks about the Huo family and you. She is in so much pain that she can't eat or sleep. She can't live a normal life at all."
"It wasn't until she unexpectedly discovered that she was pregnant that she finally regained consciousness and cheered up little by little. She wanted a child, because this child was her only relative in the world, and she couldn't give up on her. So she moved out of the Cen family and lived outside.
No one cares about her, neither her mother nor the Cen family, no one has visited her since she moved out, so they don't even know she is pregnant or has a baby."
"After Xiaoxiao was born...she had hope and sustenance, as well as responsibilities. So she studied hard, hoping to complete her studies as soon as possible, find a good job, and support herself and Xiaoxiao on her own. She has always been very smart and has excellent academic performance.
Well, I completed the four-year course in two and a half years, but not long after that, Xiaoxiao left."
"I don't know how she endured it. She didn't even cry when Xiaoxiao left. After that, she was very calm. But how could this kind of pain be relieved and healed so easily? I know she
She hides it in her heart and doesn't say it, but I know that she feels sorry for her child...but I don't dare to say it because I'm afraid that if I say it out, she will collapse."
"Later, she lived like a normal person, but she chose a career as an investigative reporter, and she investigated cases that were borderline borderline and required desperate measures. She didn't care about her life at all, but I couldn't persuade her. There is no hope in life.
Only people can be so willing to risk their lives, and there is nothing I can do..."
"If possible, I hope she will never have anything to do with you again in her life, but after she comes back to Tongcheng, she will have at least one more grandfather and one more person she cares about. I don't know if this is a good thing or a bad thing, because grandpa always has
One day he will still leave her, and by that time, she will still have nothing! Losing and having again, gaining and losing again, the torture over and over again! And all of this is caused by you!"
From beginning to end, Huo Jinxi didn't say a word.
He listened quietly to Ye Xi's narration and accusations, unable to refute every word.
"Do you know why she stopped painting?" Ye Xi finally said, "Because after arriving in Philadelphia, every time she picked up the paintbrush, what she painted was always you! But you only brought him endless pain!
So, she never painted again."
…
While Huo Jinxi and Ye Xi were talking in the coffee shop, Qi Yuan was waiting outside.
He didn't need to guess to know that the content of the chat between the two must be related to Mu Qian. When he thought of this, he felt inexplicably anxious.
However, not long after, Huo Jinxi walked out of the coffee shop.
Seeing this, Qi quickly stepped forward and opened the car door for him.
Huo Jinxi bent down and sat in the car, slowly closing his eyes.
Qi Yuan couldn't help but take another look at him.
Huo Jinxi's face, which had always been calm and composed for a long time, actually showed unconcealable fatigue for the first time.
Qi Yuan couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, until the driver reminded him, he hurriedly got into the car, feeling anxious all the way.
…
Tongcheng.
When Mu Qian woke up, it was already afternoon.
She fell into a deep sleep. Counting the time, she actually slept for more than ten hours from last night to now.
Mu Qian sat on the bed and woke up for a moment, then took the mobile phone on the bedside. Seeing that Ye Xi had called her a few hours ago, Mu Qian quickly called back.
"Qianqian." Ye Xi said, "Huo Jinxi has come to Philadelphia."
After hearing this, Mu Qian just chuckled, "Really?"
"Guess where I saw him?" Ye Xi said.
Mu Qian got out of bed and asked casually: "Where?"
"The cemetery." Ye Xi said, "The cemetery of Xiaoxiao."
Mu Qian still held the phone to her ear. After a long time, she responded in a low voice: "Oh."
…
When Mu Qian packed up and went downstairs, Huo Qiran had already finished school and was playing with his tablet computer accompanied by Mr. Huo.
As soon as he saw her, Mr. Huo immediately breathed a sigh of relief and said, "You are finally awake."
Huo Qiran raised his eyes to look at her, with a smile naturally showing on his face.
Mu Qian stretched out her hand and pinched his face, "What's going on?"
"His homework." Mr. Huo said, "It's a computer, and it's a topic that I can't understand. I can't help him."
Huo Qiran immediately put the tablet in Mu Qian's hand.
When Mr. Huo saw this, he laughed and said to Huo Qiran: "You have earned it. Your aunt Qianqian was also a top student when she was in school, and her grades were extremely good. Of course, our Qiran is also very smart.
Very, I will definitely be no worse than your dad and Aunt Qianqian in the future."
Mu Qian listened and glanced at Mr. Huo. Mr. Huo's eyes were falling on Huo Qiran. After saying the compliment, the old man still couldn't help but reveal a trace of regret in his eyes. When he looked at Mu Qian again, the old man quickly said
He put away that trace of regret and regained his peaceful smile.
At night, it snowed for the first time this winter in Tongcheng.
After watching Huo Qilan fall asleep, Mu Qian was about to close the curtains and leave when she realized it was snowing.
The first snow is rarely so dense. Tomorrow will be a world covered in snow.
Mu Qian stood by the window and watched for a while, then closed the curtains, turned off the lights and left.
She quietly closed the door and was about to turn around and go back to her room when she suddenly heard familiar footsteps behind her.
Before Mu Qian could turn around, she was hugged tightly from behind.
