Stealing the moonlight into my arms

After returning to Dongyuan, Fu Runing and Xiao Jingting had dinner with the two elders. They accepted the old lady's invitation and stayed in Dongyuan.

Xiao Jingting returned to the room and saw Fu Runing drying her hair after taking a shower. He casually handed her a USB flash drive.

"What's this?"

Fu Runing looked at him puzzledly.

After the last USB flash drive incident, she has developed a fear of USB flash drives and dares not accept them casually.

Xiao Jingting said casually: "I found something interesting."

interesting?

Fu Runing picked up the USB drive. Is this really something she can see?

After receiving the man's affirmative look, she found the computer and plugged in the USB drive.

That was a video recording.

When Fu Runing saw the person in the video clearly, she could hardly believe her eyes.

This is this...

"You tied them both up?"

Xiao Jingting denied, "It's not me."

Fu Runing: "...You didn't tie it up, someone else did it for you. Yeah, it has nothing to do with you."

As long as he doesn't do anything, it has nothing to do with him.

This is what my second uncle taught them.

In the video, in order to distance herself from their family, Mrs. Jane bluntly stated that Jane Huai'en was not their daughter.

Fu Runing was startled, pressed the pause button, and looked at Xiao Jingting with a puzzled look.

"I originally just wanted them to avoid contacting Weng Yuqing's people, but I didn't expect the old woman to be so frightened that she would tell everyone everything."

Xiao Jingting leaned against the desk, his slender fingers passed over her shoulder, tapped the space bar on the computer, and motioned her to look down.

In the video, a man's voice asks, "You say they're not your biological children, then they're not your biological children. You say it doesn't matter, then it doesn't matter. Do we believe it?"

Old Mrs. Jian immediately explained, "My daughter is not my biological daughter. My own daughter died of illness a few years ago. It was cold that year and there were many sick children in the hospital. I just took her away from the hospital. She looked like she was thrown away. If I hadn't brought her back, I guess no one would take care of her in such a cold weather. She would have frozen to death."

"Why didn't you tell me when you were on the TV show recognizing your relatives?"

As the man's voice fell, a Swiss Army knife was thrown in front of Old Lady Jane again.

Old Mrs. Jian trembled as she spoke: "Then...how can I tell you? I have kept it a secret for so many years. If my granddaughter and son-in-law knew that this daughter was not my biological daughter, how could they give me money?"

The scene changed again, showing only Old Man Jian.

But old man Jian didn't get anything out of him. When he saw the Swiss Army knife, he closed his eyes and fainted.

The screen ends.

Fu Runing stared at the computer in deep thought for a long time and suddenly felt very tired.

It's not worth it, not for my father, and even more so for my deceased mother.

Think about how her grandparents have treated her family over the years, all they have done is ask for things. Her mother is such a good person, why are her grandparents like that?

She was confused and didn't understand.

She didn't know whether what Mrs. Jian said was true or not, but considering what had happened over the years, she felt it was very likely to be true.

Aunt Cheng Su kept saying that such a good girl came out of a bunch of cowards, it seemed like she was born in the wrong family.

Fu Runing's mind was in a mess. She turned to look at Xiao Jingting and asked, "How true do you think it is?"

Xiao Jingting said calmly: "Your mother has passed away. The results of the kinship test are not as accurate as those of the direct relatives, but no matter from which angle you look at it, I think it seems to be true."

Fu Runing fell into deep thought. Her mother had passed away a long time ago, so there seemed no point in worrying about these things.

"Have you told my dad?"

Xiao Jingting shook his head, "No."

"Well, you're smart enough to discuss this with me." Fu Runing praised him casually.

"Then what are you going to do, old man and old lady?"

For a moment, I almost couldn't change the name. I wanted to say grandpa and grandma, but I immediately changed it and just called them old man and old woman.

Xiao Jingting's tone was flat. "Locked up for two days, starved for two meals, they have mouths to talk nonsense instead of eating."

Fu Runing was speechless.

This is very Xiao Jingting.

This is because this matter involves Xiao Jingting's past and the Xiao family, so he is so angry. If it is only related to her, he may not care so much.

But no matter what, I helped her, so the motive is not that important.

Fu Runing raised her eyes and looked at the profile of the man so close to her. The lines were clear and hard. He was standing leaning against the desk. The light fell on him, casting his shadow on her, appearing to be wrapping her up.

She called his name softly: "Xiao Jingting."

The man looked at her sideways, with an indistinct emotion hidden in his eyes.

Fu Runing said slowly: "Thank you."

Xiao Jingting didn't say anything else.

That's just how she is. Thanks are thanks, feelings are feelings, and one thing is one thing.

Living in Xiyuan East Garden, two people have to sleep in the same bed.

This was a rare moment of peace between the two of them during the few times they slept together.

Fu Runing didn't know when she fell asleep, but she felt her body being gripped by a strong force. She struggled to wake up and found herself being held tightly in the man's arms, with no room to move.

Fu Runing instinctively twisted her body, trying to push him away, "What are you doing...Xiao Jingting..."

When my palm touched his pajamas, I felt a layer of dampness.

He had a nightmare.

Fu Runing had discovered this several times during their time together. This was what his nightmares were like. He would break out in sweats and even have convulsions. No one knew what terrible things were in his dreams.

Fu Runing's tone slowed down, "Jingting..."

She tried to wake him, her hand tentatively touching his shoulder.

Not long after, the man woke up.

The force that was restraining her also dissipated.

Xiao Jingting suddenly let go of her. In the darkness, his breathing was unstable. After about two minutes, he said in a hoarse voice, "I'm sorry."

After saying these two words, the man stood up and left.

Fu Runing listened to the rustling sounds in the dark, without asking him where he was going or what happened.

The door closed and she was the only one left on the bed.

After a long time, Fu Runing turned on the light, put on a coat, and still wanted to see what was wrong with him.

Could it be that he was having a nightmare?

As she walked out of the bedroom and into the living room, she saw that the sliding door to the balcony was open and the cold wind blew in. She wrapped her clothes tightly.

Before she could get closer, she heard a man's voice. He was on the phone.

"You should rest early too, I'm fine..."

Fu Runing rarely heard Xiao Jingting's voice so gentle. She hid behind the wall, and the cold wind made her exposed calves shiver.

It turned out that Xiao Jingting was not bad at speaking properly, he just didn't know how to speak to her.

She suddenly regretted why she came out to humiliate herself.

He has already found someone to comfort him, so what does she matter?

The window screen fluttered, and Fu Runing turned and left.
