Zhou Qing pulled Ruan Bai into the living room and let her daughter sit on the sofa.
The nanny served all the cakes, fruits, and tea.
Zhou Qing peeled a piece of fruit for her daughter and handed it to her, but Ruan Bai shook his head, took the fruit and put it on the fruit plate aside.
"Mom, I have no appetite right now, so put it aside for now."
Zhou Qing sat next to Ruan Bai, holding her hand, looking at her pale face, and sighed slightly: "Xiao Bai, what's wrong with you? Why do you look listless? Are you sick, or are you with Shao Ling?
Are you having a conflict?"
"..."
Ruan Bai didn't say anything, and looked steadily at the water glass on the coffee table, his face turning even paler.
She shook her head gently but said nothing.
Zhou Qing touched Ruan Bai's head lovingly and said softly: "I am your mother, is there anything you can't tell me? Daughter, we are not only mother and daughter, but also best friends. What's wrong?
Just tell me something, and mom will be your loyal listener. Some things are hard to hold in your heart, so why not tell them and let mom analyze them for you."
Ruan Bai lowered his head, not daring to look into his mother's eyes.
In the mother's heart, she has always been a sensible, well-behaved child who rarely makes people worry, and has the excellent qualities of Chinese women. If she knew about the dirty things that happened that night, she would definitely be very disappointed with herself, right?
Mother was already overworked and troubled by Lin Ning's affairs. If she were to be added to the list, her hair would definitely turn gray from worry.
Ruan Bai couldn't help but turn his gaze to Zhou Qing's hair.
Mother's hair, which had always been dark and shiny, was replaced by a few strands of white hair at some point.
She must never let her mother worry about her affairs again.
Zhou Qing looked at her daughter carefully and saw that her eyes were flickering and hesitant, and she wanted to speak but hesitated...
She couldn't help but asked doubtfully: "Did Shao Ling bully you? If he really made my baby daughter suffer any injustice, my mother will go to him to settle the account immediately!"
"Mom, it has nothing to do with him, it's me, it's my fault..." Ruan Bai choked with sobs, biting his lip, and after saying this, he kept silent.
Ruan Bai knew that her mother had always doted on her. Although her mother had a gentle personality, she had a fiery and protective temper.
If she really went to find Mu Shaoling, she would only be the one embarrassed in the end.
Seeing that Ruan Bai was in a bad mood, Zhou Qing guessed that her daughter might be having trouble with her husband.
Holding her hand, she persuaded her with sincere words: "Daughter, it is inevitable for couples to have stumbling blocks. You see, your father and I have lived together for decades, and sometimes there are inevitable quarrels, but we will all retreat.
one step, all
I have lived a peaceful and stable life for so long. Although my mother is not a person of great wisdom, she still has a good eye for seeing people. Shaoling is a good child. He has always been consistent with you and doted on you for so many years. You, too
Don't be too willful."
The heat of the tea hit Ruan Bai's little face, reflecting her miserable expression, making her look pitiful.
She covered her face with both hands and tried her best to push back the tears: "Mom, please stop making random guesses. Shaoling didn't bully me. It was my problem. It was all because of me..."
Zhou Qing held her in his arms and stroked her hair lovingly: "What happened? Tell your mother that if you need it, I will help you even if I give everything I have. Even if I can't help you, there will still be your dad."
Well...Son, no matter what happens, even if you don’t tell Shao Ling, you must tell your parents. Your parents will always be your strongest support."
Ruan Bai hugged his mother tightly and leaned quietly on her shoulders, like a puppet that had lost its soul.
She closed her eyes bitterly: "Mom, my happiness may be lost. I'm sorry for Shao Ling, and even more sorry for my baby..."
Zhou Qing's confusion deepened and she patted her shoulder gently, as if comforting a child who was having a tantrum.
Just as she was about to speak, she suddenly heard the sound of a car engine coming from the yard.
She couldn't help but stood up and looked into the yard.
A black luxury car was parked in the yard, its body glowing luxuriously in the sun.
She saw Mu Shaoling get out of the car. The man's slender figure was stretched very long by the light. His neat short hair was not taken care of and looked a bit messy.
Before she could speak, Mu Shaoling asked directly: "Mom, has Xiaobai come to your place?"
"right.
Zhou Qing looked at him hesitantly: "Shaoling, did you and Xiaobai have a fight? That child has always been calm in front of outsiders, but when facing people close to him, he sometimes can't help but have a little temper. You
Ah, I need to be more tolerant of her."
Zhou Qing is undoubtedly very satisfied with Mu Shaoling, his son-in-law. Putting aside his handsome appearance, whether it is his work ability, his character, or his love for his daughter, he is definitely first-rate.
, there are few young people in City A who are better than him.
Mu Shaoling stood there, as silent as a bell.
Looking at the haggard Ruan Bai curled up on the sofa, his eyes were complicated: "Mom, it's all my fault. I made Xiaobai angry. She was in a bad mood because she wasn't feeling well. I had a cold war with her last night.
.I came here to apologize to her today. Can I go in and see Xiaobai?"
Ruan Bai shook his head desperately, pointed at Mu Shaoling with trembling fingers, and kept waving to Zhou Qing: "Mom, I don't want to see him now, let him go!"
She didn't want to see Mu Shaoling. When she saw him, the strong guilt in her heart would annihilate her.
No one can understand her frantic and helpless mood.
Zhou Qing looked at Mu Shaoling in embarrassment. He had his beloved daughter on one side and his son-in-law on the other. It was hard to offend both of them.
In the end, she loved her daughter so much that she chose her daughter: "Shaoling, Xiaobai is not in a good mood today. I will persuade her later, why don't you go back first?"
Mu Shaoling insisted on walking up to Ruan Bai and wanted to touch her hand, but Ruan Bai screamed and avoided her: "Don't touch me!"
The way she was hysterically resisting herself made Mu Shaoling feel inexplicably distressed, mixed with an anger that could not be concealed.
The hand that wanted to touch her hair froze in mid-air.
He sighed and finally retracted his hand: "Xiaobai, everything is my fault. I apologize to you. Don't be angry. Being angry can easily hurt your body. Stay with Mom for two days and wait.
I'll come back to pick you up in two days. If you need anything, call me anytime. Mom, I'm leaving first. I'll be troublesome for you to help me take care of Xiaobai in the past two days..."
"Eh, okay."
Mu Shaoling took another deep look at Ruan Bai, and then left reluctantly with a heavy heart.
Ruan Bai looked at his back greedily, and the tip of his nose felt sour.
Seeing her like this, Zhou Qing couldn't help criticizing her: "You girl, you clearly have feelings for Shao Ling, why are you messing around with him? You are the mother of three children, stop acting like a child."
Ruan Bai said vaguely and desperately: "Mom, I...I am not clean anymore. I was drugged the night before yesterday..."
His daughter's words were like a thunderbolt from the blue. Zhou Qing was stunned on the spot and could not recover for a long time!
