"Okay, I won't make you an omelette." Lingxi nodded happily.
Just when I was full of curiosity about what reward Lingxi would give me, I heard her whispering in a low voice: "If you can't fry an egg, then fry a fish."
The corner of my mouth froze, and I wanted to die.
"We're here." Lingxi pointed to the room on the left side of the passage and stopped and said, "Would you like to give you half a minute to breathe and relieve the tension in your heart?"
"Do I need it?" I held my head high and opened the door to the box with Lingxi smiling and saying nothing.
In the room, Su Tongyuan was chatting familiarly with a beautiful middle-aged woman wearing a purple chiffon sweater.
The two of them were sitting on the leisure sofa in the corner, each holding a cup of tea, talking and laughing, and the atmosphere was harmonious.
"Ah, Ning Zi." When Su Tongyuan saw me, she immediately stood up and came over to greet me, and said happily: "I've been waiting for you for a while."
"Xixi, my most lovely and beautiful Xixi."
"Woooooo, thank you." Su Tongyuan grabbed Lingxi's arm, rubbed her back and shoulders to please her, and whispered: "I knew that only you could convince Ningzi."
Lingxi looked flattered and said duplicitously: "Really? I thought he followed him because he was greedy."
The beautiful middle-aged woman glanced over at me as soon as I appeared. She seemed a little excited.
Feeling overwhelmed with excitement and slightly panicked.
But soon she regained her composure, walked straight towards me, and said in a trembling voice: "Ning Zi?"
I looked at the pretty mature woman in front of me and tried to remember what she looked like in the past.
It's a pity that I was too young at that time. More than ten years later, no matter how hard I tried, I still didn't make any impression.
"I am the aunt, the aunt who took you running around Taoshan Village with you when you were a child." The middle-aged beautiful woman said nervously: "Do you still remember?"
"I'm sorry, I really can't remember who you are." I said calmly: "Master told me before I came here that you are my aunt Fang Wenyan."
"It's just..." I paused my voice and said straight to the point: "You can be Su Tongyuan's aunt, because she is a member of the same family as you."
"And I, I can only be regarded as an outsider."
"So, I'd better call you Miss Fang."
The middle-aged beautiful woman's eyes full of surprise dimmed after hearing what I said. Her red lips were slightly opened, and she said with a forced smile: "I know you have been resentful over the years."
"Yes, your mother is so heartless."
"And we, we didn't go back to Taoshan Village to see you."
"You blame us, hate us, and make us angry, that's all what you should do."
"Ningzi, you have grown up, but my aunt still recognizes you at a glance."
The middle-aged beautiful woman spoke softly, with red eyes: "I have no other intention of inviting you over today, I just want to see you."
"Really, I just want to see what that little kid who used to follow me and beg for chocolate looks like now."
"You don't want to call me aunt, and you don't want to treat me as a relative. Well, I accept it."
She turned away, choked with sobs, and secretly shed tears.
Su Tongyuan said angrily: "Ningzi, my aunt has forgotten how good she was to you? How can you talk?"
I said expressionlessly: "Su Tongyuan, if you called me here today to teach me a lesson, then I'm sorry, I think I can go."
"I am Suning from the Su family in Taoshan Village, not from the Fang family."
"I don't even have a mother, how come I have an aunt?"
I spoke every word, smiled heartlessly, looked directly into Su Tongyuan's eyes and said, "I can call you sister because you still carry the Su family name."
"If you change your surname to Fang after that woman, I can repay you for your kindness by asking the master to go to Taoshan Village to save me."
Su Tongyuan dodged her eyes and said, "I, Ning Zi, I didn't mean that."
"Auntie, I really miss you."
"She, me, my grandparents, and my uncle all have unspeakable reasons why we don't go to Taoshan Village to find you."
