Mr. Lu, the wife was the white moonlight that night

Zhou Lanqin glanced at her hesitantly, but left anyway.

Xia Dongtian covered his heart, and the other aunt said: "Bring me the Suxiao Jiuxin Pill!"

Xia Ling hurriedly supported her father, and asked worriedly: "Dad, are you okay? You don't care about that crazy woman. I won't listen to her whatever she says, and you don't care about her either."

Soon, Aunt Fang brought the medicine and quickly gave it to Xia Dongtian.

Xia Dongtian's complexion finally improved, and he leaned on the sofa with a look of grief.

"Lingling, it's dad who's sorry for you. Dad dragged you down."

Xia Dongtian sighed, and said, "Your mother is right, if it weren't for me, you wouldn't have become a sinner's daughter."

Xia Lingqi's tears fell, and said, "She's not my mother!"

Aunt Fang looked at the father and daughter silently from the side, with deep melancholy and anxiety in her brows.

Xia Ling comforted his father for a long time before persuading him to go back to his room to rest.

But all night, Xia Ling couldn't sleep.

She lay tossing and turning on the bed. Later, she quietly went to the study and took out the old photo albums and family portraits.

For a long time, every year in the family portrait, there are only her father and her, and at most Aunt Fang.

However, there was only one photo of the full moon, which was taken by my mother holding her.

That small photo was placed in the corner of the last page of the album, and she rarely looked through it.

Because every time she turned it over, she would feel that she was the abandoned child.

Now, she finally had the courage to take out that photo and examine it carefully.

At that time, Zhou Lanqin was still very young, and her eyebrows and eyes were somewhat similar to her now.Xia Ling thought that she would never have a mother again in this life, but she never expected that one day without warning, her mother would suddenly appear like this, catching her by surprise.

She thought that she hated this mother who cruelly abandoned her and never showed her face for more than 20 years.

But she had to admit that, seeing that others were cared for by mothers, she yearned for maternal love in her heart more than anyone else.

Holding that photo in his hand for a long time, Xia Ling carefully put it back into the album.

……

The next day, Xia Ling woke up very early because he didn't sleep all night.

She wanted to go to the kitchen to make breakfast for her father and Aunt Fang.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Lanqin was very busy frying eggs in the kitchen.

Aunt Fang looked at her helplessly.

Seeing Xia Ling coming, she seemed to have found a savior, and quickly pulled Xia Ling over, saying: "Go and talk to her, I will make breakfast. She came here at five o'clock in the morning. She wanted to cook for you, and said she would cook three meals a day for you. I wanted to call you down, but she wouldn't let me."

Xia Ling patted the back of Aunt Fang's hand lightly, and said, "I see, Aunt Fang, go and rest first, and I will make it clear to her."

Aunt Fang glanced at Zhou Lanqin again, and left hesitantly.

And Zhou Lanqin, as if she didn't know that others didn't welcome her, completely regarded this place as her own home, and while cooking, she asked: "Lingling, do you like fried eggs that are more cooked, or have a little sugar heart? Yes What do you drink in the morning? Porridge or juice or coffee?"

Xia Ling stood aside and asked coldly: "Have you had enough trouble? I don't drink anything, and I can't eat anything you cook."

"Lingling... Mom really wants to do something for you." Zhou Lanqin sighed and said, "I owe you too much these years. I know that this little thing can't make up for what I owe you, but Please believe me, I really want you to feel a mother's love."

Xia Ling's heart was aching, so she turned her face away, not looking at Zhou Lanqin's miserable appearance, and said coldly: "I don't need maternal love anymore. You can go!"

At this moment, there was a little girl standing at the door of the kitchen, about eight or nine years old, she raised her face and said, "Sister, can you stop being so fierce to mother?"

Xia Ling was startled and looked at her in disbelief.

Zhou Lanqin quickly pulled the little girl to her side, and introduced: "Lingling, this is your sister, you can call her Nannan."

The little girl was well dressed, but her skin and lips were pale, and she looked a little weak and sick.

Her black eyes were clear, she walked to Xia Ling, and gently shook her hand, "Sister, the breakfast made by mother is delicious, let's eat together, shall we?"

Nan Nan's little hands are very soft, especially when she bites one sister at a time, Xia Ling can't open her mouth, so she throws them out!

"Sister?" The little girl looked at her pitifully and called out again.

Looking at this half-sister, Xia Ling felt mixed feelings in her heart, and she couldn't speak for a while.

Zhou Lanqin waved to Nan Nan and said, "Nan Nan, come to mom."

The little girl was very obedient, she walked up to Zhou Lanqin obediently, and asked, "Mom, why is my sister ignoring me?"

"My sister just met our Nannan, and I'm not familiar with you yet!"

Zhou Lanqin explained to her daughter in a good-tempered manner, and immediately, she said to Xia Ling: "Don't worry, Mom won't make things difficult for you. When I make breakfast, I will take Nan Nan away. However, Mom has already settled down in Haicheng. , our mother and daughter can meet anytime.”

After speaking, she made the rest of the breakfast.

Then he took off his apron, took Nan Nan's hand, and said, "Nan Nan, say goodbye to my sister."

"Goodbye, sister."

Nan Nan waved to Xia Ling and left Xia's house with her mother.

From the beginning to the end, Xia Ling didn't say a word.

It's just that her heart is no longer as cold and hard as last night.

That little girl made her feel inexplicably pitiful and soft-hearted.

Zhou Lanqin walked for a while before Xia Dongtian and Aunt Fang came down.

Looking at the breakfast that had been prepared in the kitchen, Xia Dong weather ordered: "Pour it all out! This crazy woman has been away for more than 20 years, and now she comes back and won't let our house be clean!"

Xia Ling's eyes flashed strangely, but he stopped abruptly and did not stop Aunt Fang.

On the other hand, Aunt Fang seemed to realize Xia Ling's thoughts, so she smiled and said to Xia Dongtian: "Old Xia, I think this breakfast is very delicate. Lingling has never tasted her mother's cooking since she can remember." Besides, the food is good, what a waste!"

Only then did Xia Dongtian realize that Xia Ling seemed to be shaken.

After all, according to Xia Ling's personality, if she really resisted Zhou Lanqin, she would have dumped all these things by herself.

Even what Aunt Fang said just now, Xia Ling didn't deny it, which shows that she longs for maternal love in her heart.

Xia Dongtian sighed slightly, and said, "Forget it, just eat like this."

Just like that, Aunt Fang brought the food to the table.

Xia Ling ate breakfast silently. She had never experienced maternal love, and she even felt that there was no taste of maternal love in this meal.

Halfway through eating, she whispered, "Dad, that woman seems to have a new family, and she brought her daughter here today."

"Oh, maybe."

Xia Dongtian sighed for a long time, and said: "Back then, after she divorced me, she seemed to have found a next family. I don't know if this is the previous one?"

Thinking of the little girl, Aunt Fang said thoughtfully, "Why is her child so young? It shouldn't be. Could it be that she didn't have a child until she was in her 40s?"

Xia Ling couldn't figure it out more and more. Zhou Lanqin had a new family and even had a daughter, so why did she come back to find her?

Could it be that he is really old and wants to redeem what he owed her when he was young?

However, if she really cared about their mother-daughter relationship, what would she have done?

The more Xia Ling thought about it, the more blocked she became, and the food in her mouth became tasteless.

She stood up and said, "Dad, Aunt Fang, I'm going to work first. This breakfast is not good, so pour it!"

After speaking, Xia Ling picked up his bag and went to work.

Xia Dongtian and Aunt Fang looked at the direction she was leaving at the same time, and Aunt Fang said quietly: "Old Xia, why did Lingling's mother come back suddenly? I always feel that she will not come back to recognize Lingling for no reason. Yes Isn't she in some trouble?"

Xia Dongtian thought for a while, and said: "What trouble can she encounter? You didn't see what she was wearing, she looked like a lady, she was not short of money, and she had children, so what trouble could she have? I think , this woman is in a panic when she is idle, so she insists on finding something to do!"

"However, I think that although Lingling says she doesn't recognize her mother, which child doesn't want her own mother?"

Aunt Fang persuaded: "Even if Lingling forgives her, don't blame Lingling, lest the child get into a dilemma."

Xia Dongtian sighed heavily, and said: "You still think well. In fact, I just can't swallow this breath! Back then, Lingling was just full moon, and she left! At that time, she thought I was incompetent, saying that my little The company hasn't improved, her friends are all living in big mansions, and she can't even afford a confinement sister-in-law."

Aunt Fang couldn't bear to listen, and said, "Stop talking, it's all over."

"You let me finish."

Xia Dongtian had never confided these concerns to anyone before, so he panicked, so he continued: "At that time I just thought she was just complaining, but who would have thought that she would force me to divorce, not When I divorced, I cried and quarreled and wanted to commit suicide. Later, I thought, what’s the point of maintaining this marriage with this kind of woman? Let’s just leave! Unexpectedly, after I divorced her, my company suddenly had Things are getting better, and life is getting better and better. In order for Lingling not to be wronged, I never thought of finding a stepmother for her."

Speaking of this, Xia Dongtian beat his chest and said, "Even so, I still implicated Lingling because of my mistakes back then. Now, I am a sinner and have nothing. Instead of this, it is better to let Lingling follow that woman. At least, she It seems to be doing well, and it can also provide Lingling with some material things."

Aunt Fang comforted: "You are wrong to think so. Lingling is now in her 20s, and she is already an adult. She doesn't need to follow anyone, she has the ability to be self-sufficient. Don't worry, just look at her. Come back to find Lingling, what are you going to do?"

Xia Dongtian said: "Maybe it's because she's getting older and wants to have a child. This woman, she was like this back then, she always thinks about it, and she always acts impulsively and without thinking."

……

Meanwhile, Chaumet magazine.

Xia Ling's heart was in a mess. Sitting at his desk, he was always distracted, thinking about Zhou Lanqin and that so-called younger sister.

At this moment, Qu Qian walked in and closed the door, a little mysteriously.

"what happened?"

Xia Ling asked suspiciously: "Do you have something to tell me?"

Qu Qian whispered to her: "First-hand information, I heard that the contractor who was in charge of the collapse of the Haicheng Bridge confessed that the raw materials for the construction of the bridge were imported through Jiang's. In this way, it is very likely that Jiang's The unqualified raw materials provided that year led to the collapse of the bridge.”

Xia Ling was startled, and confirmed: "Really? Where did you get the news?"

"Coincidentally, my husband's sister is a member of the second batch of investigation team who came to Haicheng to investigate the collapse of the Haicheng Bridge. I heard from her."

Qu Qian thought for a while, and said, "Tell me, if Jiang really did this, it would be a big hit! Don't forget, they held a charity dinner a few days ago, saying that Jiang's willingness to Bear all the expenses for the reconstruction of the Haicheng Bridge. I thought they were kind-hearted at first, but after a long time, they have ghosts in their hearts!"

Xia Ling's heart also rose. After all, once this kind of thing is confirmed, it is absolutely impossible for the Jiang family to get away with it.

After all, so many people died after the Haicheng Bridge collapsed.

Qu Qian said to her: "This is all internal news, you must keep it secret, I will say hello to you first, once the news is released, our magazine will definitely have first-hand information. If the news is reliable, it should be It's been two days."

"okay, I get it."

Xia Ling said solemnly: "Thinking about it, I feel hateful. So many lives, if they are really related to the Jiang family, then they really deserve what they deserve!"

Because of this explosive news, Xia Ling's thoughts also turned back to work.

After a busy day, Yu Qiqi knocked on her door when she got off work.

"Miss Xia!"

She opened the door, leaked a crack, and said, "Someone is looking for you!"

Xia Ling asked suspiciously, "Who is it?"

"your mom!"

Yu Qiqi said enviously: "It's the first time I saw your mother. She looks so young, and her dress is also very tasteful. No wonder you are so good-looking, sister Xia. It turns out that you inherited your mother."

Xia Ling almost fainted. She never expected that Zhou Lanqin would come to her unit to look for her, as if haunted by ghosts.

Yu Qiqi smiled and said: "I asked her to wait for you in the lounge, you come out quickly! By the way, is that cute little girl your sister? Why have you never said that you have a younger sister?" ah!"

Xia Ling was so embarrassed that he felt ashamed, and said perfunctorily: "This kind of thing has nothing to do with work, why should I bring it up?"

Immediately, she thanked Qi Qi and hurried to the lounge.

"Why are you here again?"

Xia Ling looked at Zhou Lanqin displeasedly and said, "This is where I work, and I'm at work!"

Zhou Lanqin smiled and said, "Isn't it time to get off work? I'll bring Nan Nan here, and when you get off work together, let's go have a meal."

"I have to work overtime, I don't have time."

Xia Ling turned her back, not looking at Zhou Lanqin, nor this sister.
