Xiao Yan still kept holding the umbrella, and the raindrops hit the umbrella cloth heavily, and splashed from the umbrella cloth to his body, making his heart feel cold. However, Xiao Yan's face was burning with pain.
He stood there stiffly, looking at Jiang Ning blankly.
He has been naughty since he was a child. His father yelled to break his legs every day, but he was never willing to actually beat him. His mother loved him even more. Every time his father yelled at him, she would hug him and defend him.
But now.
His mother actually... beat him?
Xiao Yan's Adam's apple rolled, but he couldn't say a word.
And opposite him.
Jiang Ning was also stunned.
The burning pain in her palm told her that she just... actually hit Ayan?
"Ayan..." Jiang Ning's eyes turned red and she covered Xiao Yan's face, "I'm sorry, sorry... Mom didn't mean it! Mom was just angry, how could you contradict mom for a stranger? Mom really didn't mean it.
Does it hurt? Ayan, does it hurt?"
Xiao Yan turned his head to avoid her touch.
Jiang Ning's hand fell empty.
The bag slung on his arm fell on the square tiles at the entrance of the coffee shop.
Perhaps she was so immersed in the conversation with Lin Wanwan that she forgot to unzip her bag. At this moment, the bag fell to the ground and the contents of the bag were scattered all over the floor.
Xiao Yan glanced down subconsciously.
Just one glance.
But he could no longer look away.
Next to the bag, a huge check was particularly eye-catching. In addition to the check, a thick stack of photos fell out of the bag. In the photos were none other than Xiao Lingye and Zhou Sisi.
Seeing the photos scattered, Jiang Ning's expression changed and she subconsciously bent down to pick them up.
Xiao Yan's speed was faster than hers.
He bent down and quickly picked up the photo.
"Ayan...return the photo to mom!"
Xiao Yan didn’t move!
With a heavy face, he looked through the photos and looked at each photo very carefully. The photo was from the same shot as the photo that made the headlines in the newspaper this morning.
They are all photos of me holding Zhou Sisi.
The difference is that Zhou Sisi's face was not shown in the newspaper, but at this moment, many of the photos in his hand showed Zhou Sisi's face.
"give me back!"
Xiao Yan took the photo and took a step back, "Where did it come from?"
Jiang Ning's eyes averted, "I don't know what you are talking about!"
"Mom! Don't tell me that these photos... were taken by you!"
A trace of panic flashed in Jiang Ning's eyes.
really!
Xiao Yan's heart sank severely.
He took two more steps back.
"Ayan..."
Xiao Yan is not stupid, he quickly went through everything in his mind, "Let me guess your purpose! You already knew that Zhou Sisi was the girl who saved my brother back then, but because you hate the entertainment industry
You are afraid that my brother will have feelings for Zhou Sisi if he knows about this, so you deliberately concealed it."
Jiang Ning's eyes dodge.
Xiao Yan continued, "Similarly, you also hate Xiao Wanwan! Because Xiao Wanwan is also in the entertainment industry, but my brother's relationship with her is getting deeper and deeper. What should I do? In order to break them up, you take advantage of this
My brother went on a business trip to Beijing and deliberately revealed some news. Then my brother found Zhou Sisi, which is why he was so nervous and hugged Zhou Sisi."
"Don't talk nonsense!"
"Nonsense? I'd rather be talking nonsense." Xiao Yan smiled bitterly, "You personally directed the drama of their recognition, and then... you hired reporters to follow them, just to... take this set of photos!"
"Ayan..."
"No wonder those news media dared to publish my brother's photos. It turned out that you were behind the instructions." Xiao Yan looked at the photos in his hands and continued to analyze, "There are so many photos here, and there are so many photos of Zhou Sisi's face. You
But it was useless. You only gave the media a photo without showing your face. Let me guess why? Because you want to use Zhou Sisi to break up my brother and Xiao Wanwan. But you are also afraid that my brother will really develop a relationship with Zhou Sisi.
A relationship that exceeded your expectations, so... you deliberately chose that photo in order to prevent the public from knowing who that woman was. In this way, it would be convenient for you to give my brother a picture after he has nothing to do with either of them.
My brother arranges for any woman you like, right?"
Although it was a question, Xiao Yan's tone was already very certain.
Seeing that his thoughts were exposed, Jiang Ning no longer tried to hide it, "Ayan, you do understand mom!"
"No! I understand you less and less."
"Ayan..."
Xiao Yan felt a chill rising from the soles of his feet. He couldn't help but took two steps back again and distanced himself from Jiang Ning.
"Ayan!"
"Mom! You have changed! You have become... I can't understand it more and more." Xiao Yan shook his head and looked at her disappointedly, "You were not like this before. You were a gentle wife, an open-minded mother, and a kind person.
Grandma. At that time, my brother was always unwilling to fall in love. You once thought that my brother was gay, and you even told my dad that you had a crush anyway. Even if my brother is gay, you would admit it!"
"I'd rather he were gay!"
Xiao Yan saw the anger between her brows and looked at her with an even stranger look, "Mom! How did you become like this! You would rather my brother be gay than let him be with the person he likes? In these years,
Don't you see what kind of life my brother is living? Why do you try every means to break up him and Xiao Wanwan, just because you don't like her? Don't you think your behavior is too selfish!"
"Ayan...are you accusing me?"
"That's right!" Xiao Yan pointed in the direction of the coffee shop and said sternly, "Do you think Xiao Wanwan used tricks to get my brother to be with her?"
Jiang Ning gritted her teeth, "That woman is a witch!"
"Wrong!" Xiao Yan said coldly, "No one knows more about my brother and Xiao Wanwan than me! I can tell you clearly that from the beginning, it was my brother who shamelessly pursued her. At the beginning, she
I avoided my brother, but later, I was moved by my brother's sincerity, and then I fell in love with my brother and wanted to be with him."
Jiang Ning sneered, "It's all a routine!"
"..."
Xiao Yan pursed her lips and tried to persuade her, "Mom! Stop being stubborn! What's wrong with little Wanwan? You said before that she had given birth to a child, but now it's confirmed that Ruirui is her and my brother's child.
Didn't you say before that as long as my brother likes it, as long as it's a girl with an innocent family background, you can accept it! Now she and my brother really love each other, why do you have to break them up!"
Jiang Ning had a stubborn attitude, "I just don't like her! As long as I live for a day, she won't even think about entering our Xiao family!"
"Even if it kills my brother, you won't hesitate, right?"
die?!
Jiang Ning was shocked, "Ayan, what do you mean by this?!"
