The light-colored curtains were rolled up by the night wind. The temperature was a bit cool tonight.
Ruan Bai looked at Mu Shaoling smoking on the balcony and frowned slightly.
Since she became pregnant, he has basically given up smoking while at home.
Seeing him smoking now, Ruan Bai knew that he must be in a bad mood.
She walked over quietly, took the half-burned cigarette from his hand, put it out in the ashtray, and looked at him accusingly with her watery eyes. Then, she put her arms around his waist.
"You promised me to quit smoking, but you broke your promise."
Mu Shaoling's dark eyes were dark, with complex emotions hidden behind them.
He took off his coat and put it on Ruan Bai's body, and then slowly said: "I'm sorry, I lost control of my mood today. I won't do it again in the future."
Ruan Bai wanted to ask him what exactly he and Zhang Yali talked about in the room today, and why the quarrel between mother and son was so tense.
But seeing Mu Shaoling's strange expression, she still buried her doubts in her heart and gently touched his face with her hand: "Are you feeling better now?"
"Today I confirmed something to my mother. Zhou Qing is indeed your biological mother."
Mu Shaoling hugged Ruan Bai and spoke in a low voice, mixed with a hint of unspeakability: "The information you have read about investigating your life experience is basically all true, but I didn't expect that the reason why my mother secretly replaced you back then.
It's just because of her jealousy towards Aunt Zhou Qing..."
Ruan Bai looked at him in surprise: "I remember you said that your mother and Mrs. Lin were very good friends. They were even so good that they wore the same clothes. Why should she be jealous?"
Although it was confirmed that Zhou Qing was his biological mother, Ruan Bai still used to call her "Mrs. Lin".
Mu Shaoling recalled that when he was at Mu's house, he asked his mother the same thing.
At that time, my mother's face was full of ferocity and distortion, and she said angrily: "Do you think I really want to be best friends with Zhou Qing? Oh, if she wasn't valuable, how could I be around her? From childhood to adulthood, no matter it is
In any aspect, that Zhou Qing always outdoes me! As long as she is around, men's eyes are always following her! I am obviously more beautiful than her, but no one has ever noticed her.
Me... the guardians around her are either the sons of professors or the sons of officials, all second-generation officials and businessmen with distinguished status and extraordinary abilities! As for me, I am surrounded by all the second-generation ancestors who are love-minded and romantic, and even just
Even those dandies who can’t hold up the wall ask me to help them deliver love letters to Zhou Qing. How can I be willing to do so? We are two children from the same small town. Why can Zhou Qing marry Lin Wenzheng, a second-generation official?
, and I want to be reduced to a woman that men can’t see? I just couldn’t stand the fact that she lived such a rich life, so I secretly replaced her child!!”
When Mu Shaoling explained the truth, his breath was a little disordered, and even his breathing became a little lighter.
He found it hard to talk about having such a narrow-minded and jealous mother. If it were someone else who bullied Ruan Bai like this, he would have ten thousand ways to retaliate against him.
But Zhang Yali is his biological mother. Even if she is not, they still have an unbroken blood relationship.
Such complex emotions made him feel deeply powerless.
Mu Shaoling actually didn't want to show too much sadness in front of Ruan Bai, but the joints of his fingers that held her gradually turned white, betraying his true emotions.
Ruan Bai felt sorry for Mu Shaoling like this.
She stood up on her tiptoes slightly, pulled down his neck with her hands, and gently pressed her forehead against his: "Shaoling, let the past go by. It's pointless for us to pursue it further. Besides,
I am already this old, and I have become the mother of three babies. It doesn’t matter whether I recognize my relatives or not. The most important thing now is to live the present moment and cherish what is in front of me. This is what we should do."
Mu Shaoling hugged Ruan Bai tightly.
The two of them were face to face, their lips touching.
The man's warm breath spread all over Ruan Bai's face, and her considerate smile made him feel warm.
"It's nice to have you here." He murmured in a low voice, his voice blending softly with the thick night.
…
At night, on the other side of city A.
Xue Lang's tall and rough body was sitting on the sofa in a luxurious box, with his legs casually placed on the coffee table.
Around him, people are fat and thin.
Gorgeous women wearing revealing uniforms, bunny girls, pretty maids, and real-life Barbie dolls are all dazzling...
However, Xue Lang didn't like the fact that these women had been hanging around for a long time, and they had too strong aura of romance, pungent perfume, and deliberate flattery. He suddenly missed Lin Ning's sweet body.
That woman was obviously cruel and sophisticated, but she had a deceivingly sweet face. She acted like a condescending young lady in front of everyone, but underneath him she was very servile.
This gave Xue Lang a sense of accomplishment.
He accepted an important secret mission some time ago. The mission was extremely dangerous, but the reward was extremely high.
He stayed abroad for too long and just returned to China today. He came to celebrate as soon as he returned.
Xue Lang frowned, drank the spicy wine in the tall glass, and dialed Lin Ning's phone with a wicked smile...
Lin family.
Lin Ning is in a nightmare.
She dreamed that Zhou Qing's biological daughter had been found, and everyone was surrounding her. That girl became the most favored person in the Lin family.
But I, who was once held up as a jewel by my adoptive parents, was forgotten in a corner and returned to the state of poverty and embarrassment I once had.
No one loves, no one hurts.
She woke up from the fright, dripping with cold sweat, and the harsh ringtone of her cell phone, like a midnight ghost, frightened her even more.
When Lin Ning saw "Devil" on the caller ID, she broke into a cold sweat and wanted to throw her phone away!
However, she didn't dare, just because the devil had a large number of photos and videos of her in his hands.
Knowing that Xue Lang was impatient and that the pervert would try his best to torment him no matter how late he was, Lin Ning finally gritted his teeth and put on his clothes, without even putting on makeup, he only combed his hair and walked out without a face.
Lin Ning was afraid that the clicking sound of high heels would wake her parents, so she carefully went down to the second floor with her shoes and bare feet.
Because she was walking in a hurry, she didn't see that the bathroom light was still on.
Anjing, who had just finished solving the problem in the toilet, saw Lin Ning sneaking downstairs and frowned in confusion.
Lin Ning secretly went out in the middle of the night. What kind of secret was there?
So, with the mentality of exploring and trying to catch Lin Ning, Anjing casually went back to the room, put on some clothes, and followed her quietly...
