The driver was sweating and said, "Madam, this is a motorway. You can't park casually. Besides, there's a long line of cars behind you, so it's not safe."
Lin Jiayi's heart skipped a beat.
She looked out of the glass behind the car and did not see Angel on the sidewalk.
Lin Jiayi breathed a sigh of relief immediately.
She then advised Mrs. Lin, "Mom, Uncle Zhao is right, parking like this is too dangerous. Uncle Zhao, please quickly find a parking place and pull over."
"good."
The car drove slowly for two minutes before reaching a turning area. The driver quickly parked the car at the spot where the parking line was drawn on the sidewalk. As soon as the car stopped, Mrs. Lin opened the door and got out of the car.
She almost ran all the way back.
"Mom, be careful."
Lin Jiayi was worried and strode after her. She grabbed Mrs. Lin and said, "You are wearing high heels. Slow down and don't fall."
"I'm fine." Mrs. Lin broke away from her hand and ran forward in a hurry, "Lucky is still waiting for me. I have to go find her quickly."
"..."
Lin Jiayi looked at her hand that was thrown away, and then at Mrs. Lin's figure running forward, her eyes flushed.
Mom has always been dignified and elegant.
She would only lose her composure like this when it concerns An Qi.
She was right to ask her brother to help hide the news about An Qi. If her mother knew that An Qi was in Jiangcheng, she would definitely go find An Qi, and no one would care about her by then.
Lin Jiayi bit her lip and followed quickly.
Mrs. Lin stepped on high heels and walked swiftly. As she ran, she scanned everyone on the sidewalk with her eyes. She ran like this for half an hour, but she did not find An Qi.
"Where's Lucky? I clearly saw her just now."
"..."
Mrs. Lin had a bad heart and her face turned a little pale after running in the sun for so long. Lin Jiayi silently patted her on the back and said, "Mom, you may have read it wrong."
"Impossible, I really saw it."
"You miss Lucky so much that you have hallucinations." Lin Jiayi's eyes flickered, "Lucky is definitely not in Jiangcheng. We have never moved in the past few years. If she is in Jiangcheng, she will definitely come back to find us."
"No, she won't go back."
Mrs. Lin covered her face, tears streaming down her fingers, "Five years ago... we broke her heart. Even if she comes to Jiangcheng, she will not come back to us."
"..."
Lin Jiayi also felt uncomfortable, "Mom, it's been five years. Maybe Lucky has a new life. You... still can't let her go?"
"How can I feel relieved?"
Mrs. Lin wiped away her tears and said in a trembling voice, "Your adoptive parents are so selfish. They can abuse you when you grow up next to them. Lucky has no emotional basis with them at all. How could they treat Lucky well!"
"That's not necessarily the case."
Lin Jiayi said bitterly, "They abused me because they know that I am not their biological daughter, Lucky is their biological daughter, and they will not treat Lucky like they did to me."
"Jiayi..."
"mom!"
Lin Jiayi interrupted her. She held Mrs. Lin's hand with a hint of pleading in her eyes, "Can we not find Lucky? She has nothing to do with our family in the first place. The misplaced life has been exchanged. She is living
Whether it's good or not, it's all her own business."
"We, let's just pretend that she doesn't exist and live our own little lives as a family of four, okay?"
"..."
Mrs. Lin froze.
She raised her head in surprise, "What did you say?"
"Mom, we don't care about Lucky anymore..."
"How can that be done!"
Almost reflexively, Mrs. Lin pushed Lin Jiayi's hand away. Her eyes were still red and her tone was stern, "Lucky is my daughter, how could I ignore her."
"..."
Lin Jiayi's heart instantly turned cold.
An Qi is her daughter.
What about her?
Who is she?
Lin Jiayi's eyes were filled with mist, "Mom, I am your daughter."
"..."
Only then did Mrs. Lin realize that she had hurt Lin Jiayi's heart. She held Lin Jiayi's hand again and said, "Jiayi, mom didn't mean that. I'm sorry. Mom was too anxious just now and ignored your feelings. You and Lucky are both mothers.
Daughter, my mother has the same heart for you."
Lin Jiayi's smile turned bitter.
Same?
How could it be the same?
Mom has never been so nervous about her.
Angel!
She stole fifteen years of her life, and now their lives have obviously returned to their own paths, but she is still there.
In the past five years.
She obviously didn't appear in front of her mother, but she was as pervasive as air.
She still has her room at home.
Everything related to her was locked into that room by her mother. The key to the room was in her mother's hand. She did not allow anyone to enter. She even cleaned the room herself.
Sometimes, she stayed in that room for hours at a time.
What about her?
In the past five years, her mother has always been gentle to her. She seemed to want to make up for the fifteen years of absence, so she never said a harsh word to her.
But……
That's not a normal mother-daughter situation.
Normally mother and daughter would laugh and play, but she had never felt that natural intimacy. Even when she was hiding in her mother's arms and acting coquettishly, she could feel that there was an invisible barrier between them.
Lin Jiayi lowered her eyes, "Mom, let's go back."
"..."
Mrs. Lin did not give up and walked along the sidewalk for another half day.
It wasn't until the sun set and the street lights on the roadside turned on that she smiled bitterly and doubted herself, "Maybe I really saw it wrong."
"Mom, let's go."
"……good."
Lin Jiayi called the driver to pick her up. When the car arrived, she opened the door and helped Mrs. Lin sit in. Mrs. Lin was in poor health and leaned against the window with her eyes closed, her face pale.
"Mom, are you okay?"
Mrs. Lin shook her head, her eyes a little moist, "I'm just tired."
People are tired.
My heart is also tired.
Not only was I tired, there was a corner in my heart that was empty.
Just thinking about her Lucky suffering in a place she couldn't see made her heart ache like needles.
…
Return home.
Mrs. Lin didn't even eat dinner and went directly to her room to rest.
Lin Zheng was stunned for a moment, then he pulled Lin Jiayi and asked, "What's wrong with Mom?"
"..."
Lin Jiayi didn't dare to mention An Qi and only said, "It's been cooler these days, so I took my mother to the mall to buy autumn clothes. I guess she was tired from shopping."
"oh."
Lin Zheng had no doubts and told her, "Mom is not in good health, so don't take her shopping for so long next time."
"I see."
Seeing that Lin Jiayi was about to leave, Lin Zheng grabbed her wrist. He looked around and took Lin Jiayi to the garden. When he saw no one in the garden, Lin Zheng spoke.
"Jiayi, the Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon, and I plan to tell mom about An Qi."
