Xiao Zichen couldn't calm down for a long time after hanging up the phone. Although it was just their guess that Mas Nian was still alive, he really hoped that all this was true, and that their eldest son would appear healthy in the future.
In front of them, only then will their family be considered complete.
"Zi Chen, what are you doing? Whose phone number is it taking so long?"
At this time, Mo Yurou saw Xiao Zichen standing in the pavilion in a daze, and stood up and shouted. When Xiao Zichen heard it, he immediately gathered his emotions, put away his cell phone in a panic, and then turned around and walked over.
"It's Yingze. He asked about Luoluo's situation. Hey, for these children, it seems that Yingze is the only one who can give us some peace of mind."
Xiao Zichen sighed.
Back then, when Mo Yurou decided to adopt Xiao Yingze, he was still a little worried. After all, with such a pair of biological parents, no one could guarantee what Xiao Yingze would be like when he grew up.
But now it seems that Xiao Yingze, apart from looking cynical and careless, can actually take charge of himself and take responsibility when big things happen.
Hearing Xiao Zichen's praise, Mo Yurou was filled with comfort. After all, in recent years, because of her concern for Jiang Moyao and Zhou Junyi, Xiao Zichen's concern for Xiao Yingze has always been less than that for Mas Nian and Xiao Yingxi. But now it seems
Come on, my husband has long been relieved.
Mo Yurou put down the tools in her hands, walked to Xiao Zichen, held his hand, leaned into his arms and spoke softly.
"That child Yingze is naturally optimistic. Now that I think about it, it may have something to do with our concept of free-range breeding. But this Luoluo cared too much about her in the past, but now she can't bear the slightest blow."
Speaking of this, Mo Yurou couldn't help but look in the direction of the second floor.
These days, Xiao Yingxi has been staying in Mas Nian's room. Although she eats three meals a day more than before, she is afraid that problems will arise if she continues to stay like this.
Xiao Zichen frowned slightly after hearing this, but then comforted him.
"Okay, we have to trust her. Our child won't be so fragile. At this point, Gu Jinmo's child has probably got off the plane. When he comes, it may make Luoluo feel better."
When Xiao Zichen said this, he was actually not very confident. Given the current situation, he could only place his hope on Gu Jinmo.
Gu Jinmo arrived at Masnian's villa at about four o'clock that afternoon. As soon as he got off the car, he saw Xiao Yingxi's parents waiting for him in the yard. He was a little flattered, but after the surprise, he was
Xiao Yingxi's worries.
"Uncle and aunt, I took the liberty to come here and excuse you. Is Luoluo okay?"
After a hurried greeting, Gu Jinmo asked about Xiao Yingxi's situation.
Mo Yurou pointed to a balcony on the second floor and said.
"Staying upstairs all the time and not talking, I really don't know what to do?"
As she said that, Mo Yurou's eyes turned red. Xiao Zichen, who was standing by him, immediately hugged her and protected her tenderly. He turned to Gu Jinmo and said.
"Go up by yourself. Your room is opposite Luoluo."
Hearing this, Gu Jinmo walked directly to the villa with his luggage, but when he reached the door, Xiao Zichen seemed to have thought of something, and chased after Gu Jinmo to stop him.
"Jin Mo, I know what you said to Brother Luo Luo. No matter what, you can treat Luo Luo like this. We are all very grateful to you. After this incident, no matter whether you and Luo Luo can be together or not,
, our Xiao family all owe you a favor."
Xiao Zichen admired the boy in front of him very much, but as a person who had experienced it and was Xiao Yingxi's father, he knew very well that there would be no result between his daughter and Gu Jinmo. No matter whether Masnian was alive or dead, Xiao Ying
It is impossible for Xi to fall in love with the boy in front of her.
No matter what the reason was, all Xiao Zichen could do was try his best to compensate for the harm his daughter had done to this innocent boy.
When Gu Jinmo heard this, his eyes dimmed, and there was a hint of complicated emotions on his face. He looked up at Xiao Zichen, and suddenly said firmly.
"Uncle, I am not doing this to get any compensation or other benefits. I just hope that Luoluo can be happy. As I said to Brother Yingze before I came here, even if I can't be with Luoluo, I still want to be happy.
I sincerely hope she is happy."
After saying that, Gu Jinmo walked into the villa without looking back.
Looking at the firm and upright back, Xiao Zichen sighed softly. Putting aside his selfishness, this boy did have a good destiny, but after all, fate played tricks on people.
Gu Jinmo walked to the second floor. The door of the room where Xiao Yingxi lived was ajar. He didn't bother to put his luggage. He just threw it at the door and knocked lightly.
"Luoluo, it's me, Jinmo, I'm coming in."
In the room, Xiao Yingxi just sat on the balcony. On the easel in front of her was a portrait painting that had just taken shape.
Gu Jinmo stood at the door. When he saw the furnishings in the room, a flash of shock flashed in his eyes, followed by a faint sadness.
There are all kinds of portraits all over the room, on the floor, on the cabinets, and on the walls. Although many of them are just simple outlines, from the clear facial features, Gu Jinmo can tell at a glance who the person Xiao Yingxi painted is.
who.
It was because of how much she missed Mas Nian that she kept drawing portraits of Mas Nian, with emotions, anger, sorrow, and various expressions. It seemed that all her emotions towards Mas Nian were poured into each picture.
on the painting.
Gu Jinmo raised his feet and walked between the paintings. In addition to admiring it, he felt more distressed for Xiao Yingxi. Especially when he saw a sketch with tears in the corners of his eyes, Gu Jinmo frowned.
These are obviously Masnian's portraits, but the emotions revealed are not those of Xiao Yingxi. She is using these faces of her beloved to vent her inner emotions.
Passing through the bedroom and coming to the balcony, Xiao Yingxi sat quietly, holding a paintbrush in her hand, focusing on the painting in front of her. A lifelike portrait had begun to take shape, but the expression on the painting was eye-catching.
Inexplicable sadness.
The eyes of the man in the painting are full of despair, as if he has abandoned the world. His dim eyes have no brilliance, and his eyebrows are lowered, as if he is bidding farewell to the whole world.
When Gu Jinmo saw this scene, his heart felt like he had been stabbed, and he began to feel nervous and scared.
He studied painting and knew very well that when painting, it is easiest for everyone to express their emotions through their works. He immediately looked at Xiao Yingxi worriedly.
Xiao Yingxi seemed not to feel Gu Jinmo's presence. She stared intently at the painting in front of her, without any reaction other than painting.
Gu Jinmo knelt down and looked up at Xiao Yingxi.
After not seeing each other for many days, the originally quiet and elegant girl seemed to have stepped out of the dark world. Her body no longer had the luster of the past, especially those gleaming eyes, which had no color at all.
Xiao Yingxi, who was originally slender, now looked morbidly thin, her face was a little pale, and there were dark circles under her eyes. It looked as if just a gust of wind could blow her away.
"Lolo, I'm here."
Gu Jinmo opened his mouth, cautiously, and stared at Xiao Yingxi tenderly and distressedly.
But the response to Gu Jinmo was only quiet silence. Xiao Yingxi didn't even make a small movement, as if she didn't hear him.
Gu Jinmo was not discouraged. Seeing Xiao Yingxi drawing on the drawing paper with a pen, he hesitated for a moment, then carefully reached out and held Xiao Yingxi's hand.
Xiao Yingxi subconsciously wanted to break away, but Gu Jinmo held on tightly, not giving her a chance to escape. Although Gu Jinmo grabbed Xiao Yingxi's hand, Xiao Yingxi's eyes did not look at him.
.
"Luoluo, look at me and listen to me, okay."
The usually warm-hearted Gu Jinmo became tough in a rare way. Seeing Xiao Yingxi like this, he really felt sorry for her. He wanted to cheer this girl up.
After hearing this, Xiao Yingxi finally reacted. She lowered her eyebrows slightly and looked at Gu Jinmo, but still said nothing.
"Lolo, I know you are sad now, but things have happened. We can't live in pain all the time. If you do this, uncles and aunts will also be very worried. All of us will be very worried about you. I believe Brother Snian's
Even the spirits in heaven will never rest."
Gu Jinmo was not very good at comforting people. He could say so much, but that was all he could think of.
Finally, when she heard the word "Sinian", Xiao Yingxi's face finally had a different expression, but why was it even more desperate?
Suddenly, with Gu Jinmo unprepared, Xiao Yingxi broke free from Gu Jinmo's hand. Due to the sudden force, Gu Jinmo, who was originally squatting, fell to the ground.
A trace of intense sadness flashed across Xiao Yingxi's eyes, and she spoke in a hoarse voice.
"No, he won't. He has been avoiding my feelings. How could he not be able to rest in peace because of me?"
Hearing Xiao Yingxi speak, Gu Jinmo finally breathed a sigh of relief. No matter what, it was a good thing to be willing to communicate.
Gu Jinmo hurriedly got up from the ground, knelt on one knee in front of Xiao Yingxi, gently held Xiao Yingxi's hand on his lap, and said softly.
"Luoluo, what Brother Si Nian is running away from is just the love between a man and a woman for you, but he has always been your brother. Ask yourself, as an older brother, Brother Si Nian, how does he treat you? I believe Brother Si Nian will not
You are willing to see your only sister torture yourself like this. Look at what you are like now. If you really have a spirit in heaven, do you think Brother Snian will be relieved?"
At this time, Gu Jinmo felt a warm and moist touch on the back of his hand. When he looked up, Xiao Yingxi was crying, shedding silent tears. She looked at Gu Jinmo and said in a weak voice.
"Jin Mo, I really regret it. If it weren't for me, he wouldn't have gone to England. Then would he be fine? It's all my fault. I shouldn't have fallen in love with him. It was me who forced him to
I drove him out of the Xiao family because I killed him."
