I spoke slightly, “I am her adopted orphan.”
He nodded, looked at Dennis and me after a moment of silence, but paused and said, “No wonder the Old Mr. George promised you to this boy Dennis.”
“Grandpa, you have something to say directly, do not buy this way to shut up!” Jannings anxious nature, a time to urge Anthony to speak.
After a pause, the old man spoke, “Violet ah, I do not know much, know her, because the Old Mr. George that, I only know that she came from the City P, and then because of some things, a person went to live over the HL Area, the latter thing I’m not too clear.”
“So did my grandmother have any relatives?” After all these years, my grandmother never mentioned this to me.
Anthony thought about it, “Yes, she came from City P, her relatives should be there, it’s been so many years, I’m afraid her relatives have gone.”
I do not continue to ask, Anthony may not know much, ask too much also can not ask what to ask, simply do not ask.
Besides, these things have been in the past, grandmother from the class did not talk to me about these, perhaps really do not want to let others know it.
The night of Lanxi Village is not noisy, September autumn, not cold, but the coolness is down.
The old man is not well and has to go to bed early and get up early, after the nanny helped him upstairs.
Jannings hugged my hand and looked at Dennis, “Dennis, we agreed today, Clara has to sleep with me at night, you can not interfere!”
Dennis slightly averted his eyes, his gaze fell on me, did not speak, but the meaning is clear.
I held my forehead, could not help but look at Jannings said, “Well, the time is late, or early to bed!”
I then got up, the nanny cleaned up the room and led us up to the second floor.
Jannings beamed and pouted, “Clara, you are big on sex and forget your sisters when you have a man, you can be together whenever you want, why can’t you stay with me for a night for now!”
Looking at her pitiful look, I couldn’t help but look at Dennis, moved with compassion, and also felt that Jannings was right.
Opened his mouth and said, “Dennis …”
“I can’t sleep alone out here!” Dennis didn’t wait for me to open my mouth, so he said it directly.
Looking at Jannings, he said, “It’s not too late for you to call Edward!”
Jannings ran and stared at him, “Mr. George, why are you so petty, just for one night, it’s not like I’m going to eat your woman up.”
“I can’t leave her!” Dennis opened his mouth, shameless in the slightest.
Jannings speechless, turned around and went back to his room, I looked at Dennis, could not help but say, “Dennis, she may need someone to talk to!”
A girl who usually looks big and mischievous, she may be lonely inside.
Dennis nodded, cupped my face and gave me a kiss, and spoke, “Go ahead, don’t talk too late, go to bed early and get up early!”
I nodded, with a slight smile at the corner of my mouth, “Dennis you’re so nice!”
“Mrs. George is better!” He smiled lightly and gestured for me to go into Jannings’ room.
The door to Jannings’ room was unlocked, and I opened it with a gentle push.
The room was decorated in princess pink, very kawaii, and Jannings was lying on her back on the pink princess bed, squinting and sleeping.
Hearing the movement, she thought it was the babysitter and spoke, “Auntie you go see if anything is needed next door and take care of it.”
I stood by the bed and couldn’t help but smile lightly, “So, is this meant to drive me away?”
Jannings suddenly straightened up from the bed and looked over towards me, surprised, “Your Dennis actually let someone go?”
I smiled lightly and sat down next to her, “Come on, I want to be with you more than anything!”
“Ah …” she jumped up and down in excitement, “Clara, you’re too good, I knew it, you’re the best in the world!”
I raised my hand and flicked her head, I said, “How long has it been, you’re in a hurry to define, take a shower, you need to go to bed early!”
“Let’s take a shower together!” She narrowed her eyes and spoke in a lustful manner.
I laughed and pushed her into the bathroom.
After showering and lying on the bed, she hugged me and stared at the ceiling.
I knew she had something on her mind, so I said, “Are you thinking about Edward?”
She rolled her eyes and looked at me and said, “Of course not, he’s not all I can think about.”
“Then what is it?”
She paused and sighed, “How come you never seem to wonder why I was taken to Zuy?”
I faintly stared, but yes, the Ouyang family in City A is not exactly rich and famous, but the old man has some reputation, and his granddaughter is naturally well protected, so how come Jannings was taken to Zuy and almost got killed?
“I actually don’t know how my parents left, grandpa said they left in a car accident, I was only two months old at that time, if it wasn’t for me, grandpa would have followed mom and dad!” Jannings opened his mouth and could not hear any emotion.
I’m not very good at comforting people, but listening quietly, I can still do it.
She leaned against me and spoke, “Grandpa and I are dependent on each other, the Ouyang family doesn’t lack money, Dad left a lot of money from his old mine, and Grandpa knows how to invest, so I never lack money, and Grandpa loves me, but I just want to be like everyone else and have a mom and dad.”
She looked at me, “Clara, I know, it’s a feeling you can understand.”
I nodded, when I was at HL Area, I envied Diana, her parents were extremely good to her, and I used to wonder what it would be like if I found my own biological parents one day, but then I realized that it didn’t seem as good as I thought.
After a moment of silence, she continued, “I’ve told you before I don’t have many friends around me, since I was a kid, I know a lot of people, but they either figure I buy things for them or use me, although I know all that, but I’m still friends with them, because I’m really scared to be alone.”
Girls seem to be especially afraid of being alone.
Looking at her, I didn’t know what to say, so I gave her a hug and spoke, “Everything will be fine!”
“Before I went to Zuy, I met a girl, she and I knew each other at first sight, and she was especially nice to me, I considered her my best friend at that time, but I didn’t think she would trick me into going to the mountains, but I was blessed by the disaster, I met you guys.”
She spoke somewhat aimlessly, “Clara, you know what? When you gave me the bracelet just now, I was really touched, for the first time in my life, I received a gift, the most sincere gift.”
“I’ve been wondering if this is the good luck I’ve accumulated over the past twenty years.”
