He’s gone, brother’s back …
This Spring Festival should really not be too lonely …
I just wonder if he’ll feel lonely when he’s far away in England.
It was afternoon when Jerry Xiao woke up. Standing outside the window, looking out of the villa, the old streets of London. Thinking of the children and her far away in another country, look at the time but do not dare to call. I was afraid that I would disturb them.
Changing out of his housecoat, he was greeted by a smiling face as he walked out of his room.
He froze, and his brows furrowed. She hadn’t been here when he’d come back, and he’d assumed she was long gone.
“Wake up? Go wash your hands and get ready for dinner!” Sunny Qin is wearing an apron and holding a small chicken and mushroom soup in her hand, “I specially cooked Chinese food tonight, it’s good for your health.”
“Why are you still here?” Jerry Xiao looked at her coldly.
Sunny Qin just pretends that she can’t see the dissatisfaction in his demeanor and still has a smile on her face, “Of course I’m here, I’ve been taking care of Auntie the whole time. Earlier when you were in a coma, it was always me who took care of you as well.”
“There is no shortage of servants in our house. Besides, I have already hired several other caretakers, and, explicitly dismissed you.” Jerry Xiao snatched the chicken soup in her hand and heavily set it aside, looking at her with cold eyes, the bottom of his eyes were full of disgust and persecution, “Sunny Qin, when Nabi was arrested, you not only kidnapped KK, but also, you can’t be blamed for framing Zoey and Owen! Don’t think you can pretend nothing has happened because there is no evidence and the police can’t do anything about it. Sooner or later, one day, you’re going to capsize.”
“I don’t know what you’re talking about.” Sunny Qin skimmed her eyes away.
“Don’t know, do you? Sunny Qin, what kind of idea is it that you’re sticking around here, wanting to marry me, when you know I won’t be alive in six months? My mom doesn’t know, but don’t think I don’t know either.” In his eyes, a cold light seeped out, staring at Sunny Qin, causing her to faintly shiver, “You’ve gone through all this trouble for nothing more than wanting our THE Xiao Family’s property, but I advise you to wake up from such a dream as soon as possible, before my patience runs out! Butler!” .
He turned back and summoned someone. The English butler hurried over, Jerry Xiao put a string of English, signaling the butler to drive Sunny Qin out. His face was full of impatience, Sunny Qin’s face was pale, the butler stood there not knowing what to do, after all, Sunny Qin is the daughter-in-law identified by Mr. Zhan and Mrs. Zhan, where does the butler dare to make a move?
“What’s the commotion?” Mrs. Zhan happened to come out of the bedroom, and as soon as she came down, she saw this scene downstairs and sensed the condensation in their atmosphere.
Seeing Mrs. Zhan, Sunny Qin s eyes instantly turned red. Complaining, he stood there with his head down, looking like he was being bullied. Mrs. Zhan looked at her son, “Son, what’s with the temper again?”
“Mom, I told you to dismiss her.” Jerry Xiao doesn’t back down.
“She’s a member of our family, how can we just say dismissal?” Mrs. Zhan looked at her son, walked over and patted his chest, “Calm down, don’t get angry with your body, ha,”
“Mom, let her go, don’t even show up in front of me at a glance. I don’t want to have a Spring Festival and spoil the fun.” Hurting a child is just unforgivable. The deep loathing under Jerry Xiao’s eyes was clear for all to see.
“But, son …” Mrs. Zhan was about to say something, but Jerry Xiao cut her off, “If she doesn’t go, I’ll go. You pick one.”
Isn’t this, like, a deliberate attempt to make things difficult for her?
“It’s okay, I’ll just go.” Sunny Qin removes the apron from her body, her eyes adorned with tears, but smiles and says to Mrs. Zhan, “Auntie, don’t be embarrassed. I live in an apartment not far away, you’ve been there too, just give me a call if you need anything, I’ll come right over.”
Jerry Xiao sneered and answered for his mother, “Thanks for the offer.”
Sunny Qin was alone in her room packing up her things, the tears she had just shed, all of them were gone at the moment, and all of the darkness in her heart came out, like a vine climbing up and wrapping itself tightly around her heart.
Sooner, she was sure, that heavy blow would shatter all pride and untouchability, to smithereens.
…
When Sunny Qin came down from upstairs with her luggage, Mrs. Zhan’s face was full of worry.
“Sunny, you mustn’t feel aggrieved, turn around and Auntie will pick you up herself.”
“Mom!” Jerry Xiao heard and gulped. Couldn’t figure out why his mother had to bring Sunny Qin around.
Mrs. Zhan hurriedly stopped her words and looked at her son before she lowered her head and continued with Sunny Qin: “He’s a patient, so you have to go along with him first. You also don’t bother with him. Last time that thing …”
“Auntie, don’t worry, I’ll do what I promised.”
“That’s good.” Mrs. Zhan breathed a sigh of relief and patted her hand, “Good child, after Chinese New Year, Auntie will go and pick you up, and together we’ll make another trip to the hospital.”
Jerry Xiao narrowed his eyes and looked at them, occasionally could hear one or two words, but could not really hear them. Mrs. Zhan called the driver and sent her away specially, repeatedly urging the driver to pay attention to safety on the road. Jerry Xiao stood not far away, looking at this scene, always feeling that something is not right.
Mrs. Zhan sent Sunny Qin away and when she turned around, she saw her son looking at her.
“Why are you looking at me like that? Go sit down quickly, don’t get tired. Talk to your father more.” Mrs. Zhan pushed her son.
“Mom, are you hiding something from me?” Jerry Xiao asked.
Mrs. Zhan froze for a moment, feeling her son’s line of sight, a trace of heartiness crossed the bottom of her eyes, but quickly returned to normal, “Just you are eccentric and elfin. Yes, there are some things I’m hiding from you.”
Jerry Xiao looked at her as she affectionately took her son’s arm, “Your father and I have discussed this, if you insist on still developing in the country, we mean to accompany you to live in the country as well after some more time.”
“Doesn’t Dad like it here?” Jerry Xiao took his mother s shoulder. Under the feeling, she has lost a lot of weight again … thought that she must be worried about her own body. Back then, when his brother left, his mother’s heartbreaking appearance was still fresh in his mind until now. Simply do not dare to imagine, if he also left, mother is not able to withstand such a blow.
“Yes, your father likes it here, but his own son is more important than anything else. We went to watch over you and take care of you to be at ease.” In front of her son, Mrs. Zhan converged those harsh colors of the past and was just a typical loving mother. After looking at her son, she sighed and said, “To be honest, you can’t blame mom for always keeping Sunny around, I wanted to follow your wishes to get rid of her, but she didn’t do anything wrong. Besides, she’s really good to me and your dad, and she’s sincere to you. How could I be so cruel?”
“Mom, you’re being lied to by her!”
“That’s because you’re prejudiced against her. What’s with cheating or not cheating? Even if it’s cheating, if it can last for so many years, then it’s still considered that she has a heart.”
Jerry Xiao looked helpless and sighed, “Mom, no matter what you think, in any case, you should know very well that I won’t marry her.”
Mrs. Zhan nodded, “Where would mom dare to expect anything else now? I just want you to be in good health.”
…
At dinner time, the family of three sat at the dining table. The three of them, had a chat, Jerry Xiao suddenly put down his chopsticks and looked at Zhan’s father, “Dad, I have something I want to talk to you about.” .
Father Zhan’s dining movements stopped and looked at his son. He didn’t say anything either, just waited silently for him to continue.
“Baker Family, Inc. …”
“It’s now ‘the Xiao Family’.” Zhan’s father lightly ‘corrected’ his words.
“The lawyers are already preparing, and I intend to return the Baker family to the hands of the Baker family.” Jerry Xiao stated his thoughts. Without any surprise, the atmosphere instantly fell into condensation. Zhan father’s face was blue, Xiao mother looked at her son also all puzzled.
“What kind of reasoning is this? I worked so hard to get it back, now why are you giving it back?” Xiao mother was the first to speak up. When she mentioned the Baker family, she still felt indignant, “Besides, we can’t talk about giving it back, these things belong to the Xiao Family in the first place!”
Instead, Zhan’s father just gave his son a sly look, “I don’t agree.”
“Dad, I didn’t come here this time to ask for your opinion; since the lawyers have begun preparations, they are bound not to stop in the middle.”
Father Zhan slapped the table, “What kind of attitude is that?!”
“I can’t hurt her anymore!” Jerry Xiao replied almost without hesitation, looking insistently at his father.
“Her? Which her?” Zhan’s father grimaced, “The Zoey Baker who killed your brother and has a messy personal life?”
Once she heard the name and talked about those past events, Xiao mother’s face turned less than pretty. “Jerry, are you and her together again?”
“Dad, mom, there are some things that you may not believe when you say them.” Jerry Xiao pursed his lips, his eyes were so deep that one couldn’t discern his expression, “It was never her who wronged her brother, it was always me who wronged him.”
“Where are these words?” Xiao mother and Zhan father exchanged a glance before looking at their son suspiciously.
“The night before my brother’s wedding, the one who was with Zoey was no other than me.” Jerry Xiao frankly told the truth, dark tone, is unable to hide the guilt and apologize. Once, he was because Zoey was originally his brother’s fiancée, so he did not dare to move, did not want to move, but then it became clear …
Love, when it comes, it comes. No matter what can’t stop it …
It seems only natural to be moved, to be so moved that you are now so deep in it that you can’t get out of it.
Both elders sucked in their breath in shock at their son’s sudden words.
“You … You don’t have to take this on yourself even if you are trying to put in a good word for her!” Xiao mother looked at her son with displeasure. Never believing that truth.
“I’m telling the truth. Mom, if you don’t want to believe it, I can go back to that hotel some day and pull up the earlier tapes.”
My son was not joking at all, and was so serious that Xiao mother felt a thunderbolt strike her.
Father Zhan suddenly slammed his palm on the table, “Ridiculous! Ridiculous! You … you simply disappoint me too much!”
“I’m sorry, Dad …” Jerry Xiao felt guilty and wanted to say more, but in the end, all that came out was nothing but an apology.
“You asshole!” Father Zhan was furious and grabbed the chopsticks and smacked Jerry Xiao heavily several times, “That’s your brother! Thanks to your brother treating you so well in the past …”
He cursed under his breath, not stopping the thrashing motion in his hand.
Jerry Xiao exposed skin, a few blood marks came out at once. He held back, not calling out a word of pain, only silently bearing all this that should have been borne by him.
Mrs. Zhan was shocked, when she thought of her son and husband’s body, how dare she freeze there? Hurry to stop in front of her husband, reaching out to grab the chopsticks in his hand, “Calm down, calm down! The son’s health is not good, you are not good, can not withstand such a toss …”
