“Really?”
“I don’t have the need to lie to you.” There wasn’t even a flicker of deception in the bottom of his eyes, and Zi Ge couldn’t help but feel a little frustrated, but still grasped the last hope, “Then … do you know where your father in law lives now?”
Lan Yu Feng looked at Zi Ge, ”Do you know what the predecessor of the QU Group was? It was the Zhuo Group. Zhuo Zhenbang doesn’t see much love for him, his son-in-law who acquired his company. It’s rare for us to contact each other once in a few years.”
“That means … even you can’t find him?”
Ziggy’s tone, much lower.
Lan Yu Feng let out a ‘hmm’, “It’s okay to go to bed early, we’ll talk about what we have to say tomorrow.”
“Can you try to make contact for me?” Ziggy requested again, undeterred.
“I’ll try.”
Since he had already agreed, Zi Ge naturally didn’t feel like pestering him any further. Turning around, she entered the child’s room. Looking at the disappearing back, Lan Yu Feng’s hand resting on the wheelchair tightened slightly.
Walking into the room, he took out his cell phone to dial Yan Nan’s number over.
“Sir.”
“Help me find Geng Jing.” Lan Yu Feng’s voice was cold and deep, looking more and more chilling in the dark night, “I want to see her as soon as possible.”
“Yes, sir!”
The next day, Zi Ge took the initiative to go find Si Lang and apologize. Luckily, he was generous and didn’t care. Zi Ge was also relieved.
When I got off work, I couldn’t bear the torment and worry at the bottom of my heart, so I called the housekeeper and said I’d be back later, and then I took a taxi directly to my home.
It was a couple minutes later when she got out of the car. She picked out some of her mother’s favorite fruits before taking her keys and opening the door to go inside.
“Mom.” Seeing no one in the hall, she called out, setting the fruit aside.
Seeing no sound in response, she couldn’t help but take two hurried steps, “Mom!”
And did not hear the sound, heart “thump” a sound, pushed open the door of the room and went in. Seeing the figure lying on the bed, the stone hanging in the heart, only to fall.
Mo Simin was sleeping, when she woke up at this time, squinting her eyes, seeing her daughter, she was quite surprised, “Why did you come back without giving a call?”
It’s only been a few days since I’ve seen her, and she’s already lost a large amount of weight. Father had packed away all his things, and the room, which was originally a bit crowded, now seemed empty.
Zi Ge couldn’t help but feel the tip of her nose turn sour, but she didn’t dare to shed a tear and only said, “I still didn’t want to give you a surprise. I just called you, and you didn’t reply, so I was startled.”
“And you’re afraid that I really won’t live? Hmph! For that kind of man, I go to die, I … am I worth it?” Mo Simin’s eyes reddened again as she talked about this.
“Mom, let’s not talk about this.” Zige hurriedly changed the topic, “I just bought quite a few dishes and your favorite fruits. Do you want to get up and sit for a while? I’ll cook for you and wash something for dinner.”
She had wanted to ask her father if he had called back, because Meng Yuhui’s phone had been unreachable since that day. When she called his unit, the people there only said that he had gone to the construction site. Even if she wanted to ask about Geng Jing, she couldn’t.
However, since he was still able to work, it seemed that his father wasn’t in too bad of shape.
“Okay, mom get up and sit for a while.” Mo Simin looked at the house, her eyes gray. The corners of her lips twitched, and in the end she didn’t say anything, just sighed painfully.
Of course Ziggy knew what her mother had in mind.
In just a few days, a good home is now in pieces. It’s so hard even for me, let alone my mother.
Going to the hall, Zi Ge turned on the TV and tuned it to Mo Simin’s favorite drama channel. He also washed the fruits and arranged them, and took a blanket to cover her before squatting down to pick vegetables on the side.
There was a conversation with her mother about her own recent past.
“The young man who came back last time, why is he missing?” Mo Simin asked her daughter.
“He ah, he’s busy.” Ziggy had to be perfunctory.
“This man, too busy won’t do. Ge Ge, in the future to find a boyfriend, do not find too rich, do not find too busy. Just find a to you honest, as long as you are good to you into, other those flowery intestines are useless … “Mo Si Min’s tone of voice mournful cool. It seems that after their own divorce, so in the matter of her daughter picking a man, she also changed the approach.
Ziggy laughed a little, “So what mom is saying is that this guy can’t do it?”
“Yes, no. Men with money are allowed to mess around outside in the future!” Mo Simin shook her head.
Zi Ge recalled the day he asked Lan Yu Feng about his words that he would never have an affair. Although I don’t know whether it is true or not, but I also feel a sense of mind when I think about it. Just when he was lost in thought, the doorbell rang at first …
“It’s probably your Aunt Chi, she’s been coming over to sit every day lately.” Mo Simin said.
Zige hurriedly put down the dishes in her hand, “I’ll get the door.”
When she opened the door and saw the person outside, she was so surprised that she couldn’t close her eyes for a long time.
“What’s all the fuss about? Won’t you let me in?”
“How are you … you?” Still in shock, Ziggy bent over to get the men’s slippers. It was a good thing Dad had only packed those personal items to go.
“Xiao Zi, who is it?” Mo Simin heard the man’s voice and couldn’t help but give a sideways glance. Zi Ge remembered what her mother had just said about Lan Yu Feng not working as a boyfriend and suddenly felt a little funny, she really didn’t know how Lan Yu Feng would react when he found out.
“Mom, it’s my friend.”
Lan Yu Feng had already changed his shoes and entered the door. Seeing Mo Simin, he smiled and respectfully called out, “Auntie.”
“So it’s you, come come come, come in and sit.” Mo Simin hurriedly lifted the blanket and got up, glancing at her daughter, “This dead child, didn’t give me a word that you were coming, I at least cleaned up the house. Come on, you sit down, I’ll make you a pot of tea.”
“Auntie, you sit down, no need to be busy. I also decided on my own to come over on the spur of the moment, Xiaozi doesn’t know.”
Lan Yu Feng’s ‘Xiao Zi’ made Zi Ge, who was standing at the side, freeze for a moment, as if something had sunk into the lake of her heart. She stole a glance at him, only to see that he was surprisingly composed, calling it smoothly and naturally, as if he had always called it that.
Ziggy really couldn’t figure him out.
“Mom, I’m going to make some tea, don’t be busy.” Zige held her mother back and turned toward the kitchen.
Take the teapot and cups out and put them in the pool. The door to the kitchen, was pushed open. With a sideways glance, she saw Lan Yu Feng slowly walk in. There were always some oil stains on the kitchen floor, and Zige was worried that he would slip, so she pushed a chair for him to sit down.
“Why are you here all of a sudden?” She asked him as she stood beside him, washing the tea set.
“The butler said you’d be back late, and figured you’d be here.” Lan Yu Feng looked at her movements.
“You wanted to see me about something?” She looked at him suspiciously.
“It’s okay.”
“What about …?” Ziggy’s eyes were full of questions.
“What? Nothing’s wrong and I can’t come here to see your mom?” Lan Yu Feng swept her a glance before saying, “I heard you say they were divorced, so I came over to check on the situation.”
So says …
He’s just here to show concern now?
Zi Ge couldn’t help but look at him a couple more times, suddenly feeling that this man wasn’t as cold as he thought he was. The color of her eyes floated down, and the resentment she originally felt towards him that night now receded a bit. She is not a person who holds grudges, and she is easy to be soft-hearted.
Pursed his lips before saying, “Thanks. It was kinda unexpected, though.”
“Accidentally what?”
“I thought …” she lifted her eyes to look at him, “that a man like you should have nothing to do with anyone else’s business.”
“You know me quite well.” Lan Yu Feng slightly picked his lips, “I don’t care much about other people’s affairs. So, like you said, I deserve to be alone for the rest of my life.”
Zi Ge’s movement of washing the teacup paused, biting her lip and looking at him apologetically, “I said the words I said the other day were in anger.”
But wait!
Just now that his previous sentence, what kind of meaning? Other people’s affairs he does not care, that to their own …
Heart, beating rapidly.
Opening her lips, she almost impulsively asked for clarification, but in the end, she wanted to stop. There were some facts that always seemed to disappoint her in the end, so it was better to be unclear.
“When are you leaving?” Ziggy changed the subject.
Lan Yu Feng’s face sank slightly, “I’ve only just arrived. You want me to leave so badly?”
“No, that’s not what I meant.” Zige hurriedly explained, “I’m going to cook and wanted to ask if I wanted to cook your share.”
“What do you say?” Lan Yu Feng glanced at her. Zi Ge, even if she understood, took the cleaned cups out of the pool, walked to the kitchen door and poked her head out to look. Looking at her mother staring blankly at the TV, her heart sank, “Can you go out and talk to my mom? I’m a little uneasy about her being out there alone.”
Lan Yu Feng also followed her line of sight, so he nodded and went out without saying anything.
Zige hurriedly brewed tea. When she took it out, she saw her mother chatting with Lan Yu Feng. Once she heard that conversation, she was practically in a cold sweat. He was actually accompanying his mother to chat about the plot and characters in a TV series …
And, not only was my mother excited, but even he looked excited. Every word was on point.
He can’t even finish reading the papers on weekdays, so how can he have any time to watch TV dramas? I’m afraid he doesn’t have any interest in TV dramas. Now it was only because he was afraid of spoiling his mother’s fun.
Looking at Lan Yu Feng’s serious appearance, Zi Ge’s heart suddenly felt warm, as if a beautiful wisteria was slowly blooming in her heart. Putting aside his nastiness, in fact … he is not that bad …
“Eh? Xiao Zi, what are you standing there staring at?” Mo Simin turned back and called out to her.
Mother’s face had a rare hint of a smile on it at this moment, which was of course all thanks to Lan Yu Feng. Zige handed him a grateful look and brought over the tea.
Made them each a cup, “What’s the chatter so hot?”
“Chatting about dramas which. Yu Feng promised to get me some autographs over later.” Mo Simin replied. Lan Yu Feng just brought a cup of tea to Mo Simin’s hand and didn’t forget to urge, “It’s a bit hot, be careful.”
Mo Simin’s face was even more smiling a few points deeper, straight and Zi Ge praised him for his excellence. Zi Ge had to marvel at Lan Yu Feng’s ability to please the elders, his mother had just said that he could not be a boyfriend, which only a few minutes to change his mind?
“Then you guys chat first, I’ll go in and cook. Mom, I’ll cook you some gate crabs for dinner, do you want to eat the braised ones or the steamed ones tonight?” Zige asked her mother. Mo Simin, however, inclined her head and asked Lan Yufeng, “Which do you like to eat?”
Ziggy tsked, “I know then, I’ll make steamed ones tonight.”
Lan Yu Feng’s tastes were very light, which she was well aware of. Mo Simin then laughed and patted the back of Lan Yu Feng’s hand, “Yu Feng, look at this daughter of mine, she has a clear grasp of your preferences. It doesn’t even see that she remembers me as her mom so clearly!”
“Mom …” Zige was so embarrassed that her face turned red. Especially, when Lan Yu Feng’s smiling eyes swept over, she really hated to find a hole to drill.
Mo Simin laughed, “Gotta have it, mom won’t talk about you either.”
