Xu Yuan rang the doorbell according to the address given on her mobile phone.
After a while, a tall, fashionably dressed woman came over and opened the door. The woman was Xu Yuan's mother, Xiao Xu.
Although Xiao Se is already in her forties, time has not left too many traces on her face because she has taken good care of herself. If she and Xu Yuan stood together, they would easily be mistaken for sisters.
When Xiao Xu saw her daughter, she took the initiative to take her into her arms and kissed her on the cheek several times.
Xu Yuan looked at her mother helplessly, took out a tissue from her bag with disgust, and wiped her cheeks. There was bright red lipstick on the tissue.
Xiao Xu burst into laughter, "What? You still dislike your own mother?"...
Xu Yuan smiled bitterly, "It's not to say that I dislike you. I want to prevent others from misunderstanding me. I thought I didn't know how to put on makeup, so I put lipstick on my face."
Xiao Xuan poked Xu Yuan's forehead with her finger, "You sharp-tongued ghost elf, come and see what gift I have brought you."
There were two large suitcases in the room. Xiao Xuan opened one of them and found a lot of clothes and cosmetics inside. She picked up a dress, walked to Xu Yuan, gestured, and smiled to herself.
Then he said, "As expected, I am very discerning. Your skin tone is particularly suitable for light yellow. Why don't you give it a try now?"
Xu Yuan rolled her eyes at Xiao Xuan angrily, "No need. Are you hungry? I'll take you to eat."
Xiao Xuan quickly folded her clothes and put them in her suitcase. She smiled and said, "That's fine! Chatting while eating and drinking some wine will make the atmosphere more interesting."
Xu Yuan made a reservation at the Western restaurant on the second floor of the hotel. Xiao Xuan put on a rather noble dress and went to the restaurant with Xu Yuan.
Xu Yuan asked Xiao Xuan to order a few dishes, and then ordered two more dishes.
Xiao Xuan kept talking about her recent experiences, but Xu Yuan couldn't get a word in for a while.
In Xu Yuan's mind, although Xiao Xuan has been abroad, she is no stranger. Xiao Xuan calls her at least four times a week, and each call lasts at least half an hour.
When the food was on the table, Xiao Xuan poured half a cup into the goblet, smiled at Xu Yuan and said, "Come, let's drink to the reunion of our mother and daughter."
Xu Yuan smiled, made a "ding" sound, and took a small sip.
Xiao Xuan drank the wine in the glass directly, and there was a hint of red on her cheeks.
"Okay, after drinking, we can get into more formal topics. I heard that you have been in love recently?"
Xu Yuan was slightly startled, "We can't talk about love, we haven't officially confirmed the relationship yet."
Xiao Xuan tilted her mouth and said disdainfully: "Lies! If the relationship is not confirmed, can you still take him home?"
Xu Yuan's expression darkened, "Are you spying on me?"
Xiao Xuan sighed helplessly, "In order to investigate the case, you encountered an accident in that abandoned real estate; and then you were almost frozen to death in the ice cellar by a female psychopath. You encountered danger again and again. Can I rest assured?"
Xu Yuan frowned slightly, "I did bring Zhao Yuan home. You should also know that Wen Yun also stayed at my house that day."
Xiao Xuan nodded, "I know that you and Zhao Yuan have not yet confirmed their relationship. Your relationship is still in its infancy, so I am giving you advice. It is better to have short-term pain than long-term pain."
"Do you want to meet Zhao Yuan?"
"No need to meet. I will definitely be satisfied with the boy you like."
Xu Yuan bit her red lip with her teeth, "Why don't you take a fancy to us?"
Xiao Xuan saw tears looming in her daughter's eyes, and she sighed softly, "You are very smart, you should know the reason."
Xu Yuan forced a smile, "No, I want you to tell me clearly."
Xiao Xuan was silent for a few seconds, "Okay, I'll just be that evil person, I don't like him."
Xu Yuan lowered her head, tears rolled down from the corners of her eyes and splashed down.
Xiao Xuan held her daughter's hand and said, "I can understand how you feel now. But, isn't keeping a distance from him a way to protect him?"
Xiao Xuan took out her mobile phone, clicked on a file, and placed it in front of her daughter.
"This is some information I just found recently."
Xu Yuan picked up the phone and
As I read through it, I felt not only anger but also surprise in my eyes.
Xiao Xuan said softly, "If you choose now to give up searching for the truth about your father's death, I will not interfere with your relationship with Zhao Yuan. From now on, you and Zhao Yuan will live a good life and no one will affect you.
However, if you insist on searching for the truth, you will inevitably encounter danger. The power of the people behind the scenes is very powerful, and what I have found is just the tip of the iceberg. That power can easily tear you apart and destroy the people around you."
Xu Yuan was silent.
Her mother’s reminder made her wake up instantly!
Mother's reason is not based on family background.
She affirmed Zhao Yuan's ability and character.
The boy that Xu Yuan can like will definitely not be bad.
However, is it necessary to be so selfish to put the person you love in danger?
"what should I do?"
"Go live abroad with me for a while.
I've already arranged it.
Time can heal all wounds.
You can also fade the good memories."
Xu Yuan understood what her mother meant. She did not show sadness, but had a smile on her lips, "Mom, I know what I should do! Give me some time, I want to say goodbye to him."
With a look of pity in Xiao Xu's eyes, she walked to her side, gently stroked her daughter's black hair, and acquiesced to Xu Yuan's request.
Zhao Yuan received an invitation from Xu Yuan when he got off work.
Zhao Yuan worked all day and was a little tired at first, but when he received a call from Xu Yuan, he immediately became more energetic.
Human beings are not plants, so how can they be ruthless? After spending a long time with Xu Yuan, Zhao Yuan has developed feelings for her.
It's just not made clear.
When Zhao Yuan is free, he often thinks about what Xu Yuan is doing at the moment.
However, Zhao Yuan knew that there were many problems between him and Xu Yuan.
As Wen Yun said, Zhao Yuan and Xu Yuan belong to two worlds because of their different family backgrounds.
Although Mr. Xu has a good impression of Zhao Yuan, if Zhao Yuan and Xu Yuan develop a relationship between boyfriend and girlfriend, Mr. Xu will definitely have a different attitude.
The two arranged to meet at the gate of the University of Political Science and Law.
Xu Yuan took Zhao Yuan into one of the alleys, Shiban Street. The courtyards on both sides exuded a rich scent of osmanthus.
The moonlight is fragmented, the shadows are rising and falling, the courtyard wall painted with lime is mottled, with traces of time and water washed away by rain, and the rafters on the eaves reflect the vicissitudes of yellow and black.
Walking in such an alley at night, Zhao Yuan found it very quiet, and memories of the past quietly emerged in his mind.
In another world, he was born in a small town in the south of the Yangtze River. When he was studying, he would walk through similar alleys. There was a temple south of the school. On weekends, he would go there and sit with the young monks in the temple for half a day, reading or playing chess.
Xu Yuan took Zhao Yuan to an old bookstore and bargained with the proprietress to buy two sets of law books. Then she took Zhao Yuan to a small shop in the southeast corner and ordered two bowls of barbecue and chili sauce casserole rice noodles.
Xu Yuan took two mouthfuls of rice noodles, raised her head, and said to Zhao Yuan with bright eyes, "By the way, I'm going abroad."
