Be affectionate

"Hello... is it Xiaoxi? I'm my mother."

On the night of New Year's Eve, the snow fell more and more heavily. When Gu Xi came out, the snow had already covered his ankles.

She was wearing a thick down jacket and a scarf, standing in the snow almost covered by snow.

The woman in front of her was wearing a somewhat old red cotton dress, her black leather boots were covered with deep wrinkles, and the leather at the edges was also a little frayed. It seemed that she was not doing well.

In Gu Xi's memory, the woman's appearance was still under 30 years old, with fashionable curly hair, beautiful makeup, and a pair of red lips that always uttered harsh and severe words.

Ten years later, she has wrinkles at the corners of her eyes, and her plain face is completely different from what Gu Xi remembers.

"Little Xi, you, you have grown so big."

The woman stood outside the gate, looking at Gu Xi through the iron railing, with a courteous smile on her face.

Because it is a rich man's villa area, visitors without access control can only enter with the permission of the owner.

Seeing a girl coming out, she recognized it for a while before confirming that it was her daughter she hadn't seen in ten years.

Gu Xi looked calm, standing inside the gate, separated from the woman by an iron gate.

The security guard recognized her as someone who lived in the Lin family's villa, and asked, "Is this someone you know? Do you want me to open the door and let her in?"

Gu Xi shook her head lightly, and said to the security guard, "No need, just talk through the door like this."

Seeing this, the security guard retreated into the guard box.

The woman couldn't believe what Gu Xi said. She took two steps forward and said to the security guard through the iron gate: "I am her mother, please open the door and let me in."

Then he looked at Gu Xi: "Xiao Xi, tell him quickly that I am your mother."

Gu Xi looked at her with calm eyes, thinking that this woman seemed to be called Zhang Yun, "What do you want me for?"

"Did you not even call me mom when you saw me?" Zhang Yun was a little angry, she subconsciously reprimanded Gu Xi as the eight-year-old child ten years ago.

If it was Gu Xi who was eight years old, the moment her mother frowned, she would apologize in a soft voice, hoping that her mother would not be angry.

However, Gu Xi, who has been abandoned for a full ten years, has grown up in the mud with difficulty. She has grown into a quasi-adult after seeing too much of the world, and she will no longer be submissively afraid.

"If you haven't forgotten, you signed an agreement to sever parent-child relationship with my grandfather. I didn't have a mother ten years ago. Now that you suddenly came to the door, I can only respect you as Ms. Zhang."

There is no warmth in Gu Xi's moon-like eyes, only alienation and indifference.

Zhang Yun obviously didn't expect Gu Xi to be so unfeeling, and the strange and fierce aura immediately made her feel confused and very angry.

But she came here today to beg for help, so it's not easy to put on a face and teach Gu Xi a lesson.

These years, Zhang Yun has lived in a disgraceful and difficult life.

Back then, after she left Gu Xi to the Gu family, she went south to Hong Kong City, found a fairly good job, and saved some savings, but it was a pity that she found a few men and ended up without a problem.

When Zhang Yun wanted to buy a house in Hong Kong, Zhang Yun met a wealthy businessman. At first, he thought it was a blessing in disguise, so he quit his job and planned to enjoy life as a rich wife.

But I didn't expect that the rich businessman was a liar.He said he would take her to invest in various projects, but after defrauding her of all the money little by little, she disappeared.

Zhang Yun was furious. Although he called the police, the chance of recovering his savings was slim.

I want to maintain my life, but it is even more difficult to find a suitable job due to my age, so I can only rely on working around.

This year, she really couldn't live in Hong Kong City anymore, so she just came back, and immediately found out that Gu Xi's grandfather had been hit by a car and was gone.

Zhang Yun felt that this matter would definitely cost a lot of money, and the Gu family also had an old house, which was also worth more than 200 million.

Gu Xi had only one granddaughter in the Gu family, and Gu Xi had only her mother, so Zhang Yun was moved.

Since men are unreliable, it is better to continue the fate of mother and daughter.

She bought a lot of things and went to the old house to find her daughter, but she was rejected.

After asking the neighbors, I found out that Gu Xi was picked up by a family named Lin.

Lin?

Zhang Yun thought it sounded familiar, and it really reminded her of it when she recalled it.

A long time ago, the Gu family did have some socializing with the Lin family, but later that Lin family seemed to have made money and moved away.

She took out her mobile phone and checked, and found that Lin Peiming back then has now become the chairman of the Lin Group, a serious and wealthy man.

Zhang Yun was so excited that she almost dropped her phone.

She immediately sent a text message to Gu Xi, originally thinking that Gu Xi hadn't seen her mother for so many years, and she would definitely call her excitedly after receiving the text message.

After waiting for a long time, Zhang Yun didn't wait for Gu Xi's call, and then sent a text message to find that she was blocked by Gu Xi.

What do you mean?

Zhang Yun had a bad temper and got angry all of a sudden. In the rented house, he cursed Gu Xi as a heartless white-eyed wolf for more than half an hour. After calming down, he wondered if Gu Xi thought she was a liar?

After changing the mobile phone number again, Zhang Yun did not contact Gu Xi in a hurry.

She specially waited until the New Year's Eve, when the whole family was happy and happy, before contacting her.

No matter what Gu Xi was in the Lin family, he was dependent on others and had no relatives by his side. At this time, he must be in love with the scene.

When she longed for family affection the most, her mother suddenly appeared. After all, Gu Xi was a child, and she must have burst into tears and wanted to throw herself into her mother's arms.

What Zhang Yun didn't expect was that the kid Gu Xi would hold grudges so much?

When she left, Gu Xi was only an eight-year-old child, what can he remember?How could he be so indifferent to her?

Zhang Yun changed her mind and understood.

It must be the two immortal members of the Gu family who are talking bad things about her to Gu Xi all day long, otherwise how could Gu Xi treat her like this!

They are mothers and daughters whose blood is thicker than water!

"Xiao Xi, my mother was forced to do so back then. You are still young and ignorant. Don't listen to what your grandparents say. They are slandering your mother. These years, my mother misses you very much...you don't even know."

There was a cry in Zhang Yun's voice, but her eyes were not even red.

The clumsy acting skills and evasive words made Gu Xi angry for a moment, and the emotions that had been suppressed before gradually emerged.

"Do you think I don't remember?"

Gu Xi looked at the strange woman in front of her who tried her best to squeeze out her tears but was in vain. She thought of the nightmares she would fall into from time to time over the years, and thought of the occasional questions deep in her heart——

Is it because I'm not good enough and obedient enough that my mother doesn't want me.

Her self-blame, her struggle, and her reluctance all became a joke at the moment Zhang Yun appeared.

She has never had such a strong anger, stronger than when she was bullied and humiliated in No. [-] Middle School.

Gu Xi's eyes were as deep as lake water, with a cold luster.

Throw each word to Zhang Yun.

"Ten years ago, the day you threw me to my grandparents, I have never forgotten in these ten years. Every detail of that day, your expression, and what you said, are all engraved in my memory. I was raised by my grandparents all these years, they worked so hard but never mentioned you. But you use your dirty heart and ugly soul to speculate and slander them."

Gu Xi stared at Zhang Yun, each word piercing her heart: "You really make me sick."

The sad expression on Zhang Yun's face was put away after Gu Xi finished speaking, "Xiao Xi, no matter what you say, I am your mother. You were born in October when I was pregnant. The pain of being offended cannot be offset by your grandparents giving you food and clothes. Without me, you would not be able to come to this world, let alone live in such a high-end rich area. You Is it a little too heartless for me now?"

Gu Xi noticed her thick skin and stopped talking nonsense to her: "Say it straight, what do you want from me?"

When Zhang Yun heard that her daughter had a relationship with the Lin family, she thought a lot.

If they asked for money, the Lin family might not give much. After all, Gu Xi was not their own child of the Lin family. They just took her to live in the villa out of kindness and caring for Gu Xi.

She needs some benefits that the Lin family can give, and the benefits will last forever.

Zhang Yun smiled gently, and said: "Mom is back now, and wants to accompany you and take care of your life. But... Mom has no job, no money, and is powerless to take care of you. Xiaoxi, since you have such a good relationship with the Lin family, it must be very easy for you to help me tell Mr. Lin to arrange a position for me in the Lin Group. When my mother has a stable job and earns money , will naturally give you a better life. We mother and daughter have been separated for so many years, how pitiful you are. It's time to go back to my mother. "

Zhang Yun's words made Gu Xi feel unbelievable, but at the same time, Zhang Yun's shamelessness did not surprise her.

Gu Xi clearly remembered that when Zhang Yun left her to her grandparents, she asked for 10 yuan to buy out their blood relationship.

How could she stand in front of her brazenly now, say that she would accompany her to take care of her, and then try to use these cheap words to lure her to seek benefits from the Lin family.

Gu Xi was so angry that her teeth clenched, she shook her head and took a few steps back, "How can you say such disgusting words, you have never cared about me or cared about me, you disappeared for a whole ten years, and once you appeared, you wanted to make me To seek benefits from someone who treats me sincerely and takes care of me?"

Zhang Yun took two steps forward, grabbed the railing of the iron gate, and said with a silly smile: "I'm back, haven't I? Xiao Xi, you are obedient. As long as you are obedient, help your mother ask for a job with the Lin family first, and wait until your mother earns money." When it comes to money, don't our mothers and I live our lives as we want?"

Gu Xi felt intense nausea, and she tried her best to control herself so that she didn't continue to speak ill at the woman in front of her.

"I won't help you. I didn't have a mother ten years ago, and I don't need this pricey maternal love ten years later. You go, don't pester me anymore, I have nothing to do with you now, and I will never It won't matter."

After Gu Xi finished speaking, she turned around and wanted to leave. Zhang Yun was in a hurry and shouted behind her: "Xiao Xi?! Xiao Xi! Don't leave, mom really has no money. So, don't you live in Lin's house now? There is no need for money, can you give your mother the key to your grandfather's house first, the rent will be paid next month, and mother really has no choice! You can't let your own mother sleep on the road! Ah?!"

Gu Xi stood on the spot and turned around slowly. She thought she had realized Zhang Yun's shamelessness, but she refreshed her understanding once again.

"You still miss Grandpa's house?"

Zhang Yun thought that the trip could not be done in vain. No matter what job, house or money it is, one must be in hand first.

She held back her anger and tried to make herself as pitiful as possible, hoping to arouse Gu Xi's sympathy.

"Xiaoxi, mom came to you because she was really desperate. Mom really can't pay the rent next month, and she can't find a job. Your grandpa's house is empty and empty. Mom lives in it. I can help look at the house and clean it.

"Also, can your grandpa's compensation money be used by your mother first, as if it was your mother's loan? Mom can give you an IOU, and the interest will be based on the bank, or a few percentage points higher than the bank. OK.

"Xiaoxi, can I just be a mother and beg you? Please help mother..."

Lin You, who hid behind the pine tree and listened clearly the whole time, tried his best not to rush out and teach this woman who claimed to be Gu Xi's mother a lesson.

In the living room just now, she saw that Gu Xi was obviously emotionally fluctuating after the phone rang, so she resisted not really showing her face, got up and went to the bathroom.

Lin You thought that Gu Xi was like this before. After receiving a text message on his mobile phone, he was in a very bad state for a few days. Although Gu Xi returned to normal later, this matter has always been on Lin You's mind.

After seeing Gu Xi come out of the bathroom, she went back to her room to get her clothes, and walked out the door soundlessly against the joy of New Year's Eve.

Lin You didn't know where she was going, so she was really worried, so she just grabbed a piece of clothing and followed her all the way to the gate, only then did she realize that Gu Xi was here to see someone.

Seeing that there was a security guard at the door, and the other party was a woman, Lin You felt a little more at ease. She didn't want to eavesdrop on Gu Xi's conversation, so she thought about going back first and asking Gu Xi later.

Before she turned to leave, the woman outside the door who claimed to be Gu Xi's mother fixed Lin You in place.

She turned around in shock and looked at the woman in the red padded coat.

This is Gu Xi's mother who has been away for ten years?

Why did she suddenly appear?Are you here to take Gu Xi away?

Thinking of this, Lin You couldn't calm down. She hid behind a tree and hid herself in the darkness.

What she didn't expect was that Gu Xi's mother didn't want to restore the relationship between mother and daughter that had been broken for ten years, but came to break the bone and suck the marrow.

Hearing what Zhang Yun said, Lin You almost exploded with anger!

She is so angry, one can imagine how sad and sad Gu Xi, who has such a mother, must be when she hears these words.

Lin You couldn't figure it out, how could there be such a disgusting person as Gu Xi's mother in this world!

When she heard Zhang Yun said that she wanted Grandpa Gu Xi's house and compensation, she couldn't help but almost rushed out.

But when he thought that if he really rushed out, Gu Xi might not be grateful for her help, and would be very embarrassed.

If she were Gu Xi, she would definitely not want her such a bad mother to be known by others, let alone anyone in the Lin family, that her mother wanted to use her to take advantage of the Lin family.

Lin You endured it and did not act impulsively.

"You are really...too bad."

Gu Xi's eyes were red and she tried her best to hold back the tears. She didn't want to cry in front of this woman.

She wasn't sad for this woman, she was sad for her grandparents, and she was sad for herself who kept asking herself whether it was her fault that caused her to be abandoned in the past ten years.

Gu Xi didn't want to look at Zhang Yun any more, she ignored Zhang Yun's shouts behind her, and walked back straight and firmly.

The moment he turned around, tears rolled down his eyes and fell silently into the snow.

Seeing Gu Xi walking back, Lin You quickly ran home along the path.

After putting away the snow-stained coat, Lin You went to wait in Gu Xi's room, but Gu Xi hadn't come back after more than ten minutes.

It takes at most 10 minutes to walk from the gate to the Lin family's villa, why is Gu Xi so slow?

Lin You looked out of the window worriedly, and immediately saw Gu Xi sitting alone in the yard amidst the heavy snow.

"Gu Xi!"

Lin You opened the door and called her.

Hearing Lin You's call, Gu Xi instinctively turned his head.

His eyes were bright, and he knew that he had just cried.

Gu Xi was afraid that the Lin family would notice her crying eyes, so she wanted to sit in the yard and wait for the red eyes to recede before going back.

I didn't expect Lin You to find him.

She tried her best to raise a relaxed smile, and said to Lin You: "I saw a lot of snow outside, so beautiful, so I told you to take a look."

Lin You knew that Gu Xi was lying, but she didn't want to expose it.

He took a down jacket from Gu Xi's closet and came out to sit side by side with Gu Xi.

Lin You and Gu Xi raised their heads together and looked towards the sky, "Yes, it snowed so heavily this year, and I have never seen such a heavy snow in previous years."

As soon as he spoke, he exhaled a cloud of soft white air.

The moment Lin You sat beside her, hearing Lin You's thoughtful words, she felt a little loose after she had finally settled down, her nose was sour, and her eyes were involuntarily hot.

Lin You raised her head, stuffed her hand into Gu Xi's pocket, and held her hand in the pocket: "Is it cold?"

Gu Xi didn't struggle, Lin You's hands were very warm, as if giving her the warmth of the whole world.

Gu Xi sniffed hard: "It's not cold."

No one spoke again, just sitting quietly in the yard, watching the snowflakes fall and wrap them up.

It seems that there are only whispers between the two of them in the world.
