Chapter 24: Visiting Parents
During the interval of recuperation, Qiao Bai, Yang Fei, and Qiao Mo went to the cemetery with Yan Ran. This is the first time in three years that Yan Ran has come here. She mustered up great courage and was finally able to convince herself to face the reality of losing her parents.
"Mom and Dad, in the past three years since you left, I have been doing well, and my uncle, aunt and Jomo have all been very good to me. Originally, they were not obligated to take care of me...... I will always remember this kindness. ”
Qiao Bai didn't know that Yan Ran was still worried about the adoption, so he said again: "Yan Ran, you call me uncle, but I treat you as my own daughter, your growth, your future includes your career, marriage and children, we will all be involved." You may not know about my relationship with your father, but don't think about it in the future, we are family. ”
"Yes, dye, you see you come to us, how happy we are, some things don't take to heart, the past is over. Yang Fei liked Yan Ran very much, and gently held Yan Ran's hand.
"Uncle and aunt I know, it is precisely because you are so selfless and kind to me that I don't know how to repay it. I won't think much about it, though, we're family. ”
Yan Ran tried to let go of the past and look forward to a new life in the future.
"Dye and dye, I picked out these dresses for you, which one do you like?" Yang Fei asked the maid to bring it in.
"I'll pick first, aunt, you don't care about me, I'll go down by myself later. ”
Yang Fei jokingly blamed: "Don't be too late, dress up beautifully, everyone is still waiting." ”
"Good. ”
Yan Ran looked downstairs, and the people who participated in the drinking party had already entered the venue one after another, and the originally huge villa became bustling. Qiao Bai and Yang Fei were greeting the guests, looking around, but they didn't see Qiao Mo.
"Are you looking for me?" said Jomo, who was already quietly standing behind her.
"I didn't see you anywhere. Yan Yan puffed up his eyelashes and drove away the beating dust elves.
"There are so many guests in the house who have to greet you, change your clothes and take you down. Jomo walked over to the shelf and carefully selected a plain white dress and brought it to her.
"How do you know I like this?" said Ran, happy as a child.
Qiao Mo tilted his head and teased her: "Can I not know your thoughts, you just wait for me to come up to you, if I don't come up, you will be angry here tonight." ”
Yan Ran's face turned red, and his mind was seen through, so he had to push Qiao Mo out: "I'm not angry, no, no." After closing the door, Yan Ran let go of the smile he couldn't hold back and happily changed into his skirt.
After opening the door, Jomo was nowhere to be seen, and finally went downstairs after being repeatedly urged. Yang Fei beckoned her over.
"This is my niece, who came from China a few days ago, called Yanran. ”
"Hello aunties. ”
"She looks so beautiful! I saw it a few years ago, but now I really can't recognize it. Do you have a boyfriend?"
"Huh?" Yan Ran didn't react, Yang Fei relieved the siege: "18 years old is not yet old, still young, don't worry." ”
"My relative's son fell in love at the age of 16......"
Yan Ran didn't have the heart to chat with the aunts, so he made an excuse and walked away.
"I heard that Jomo's girlfriend is coming later, and I really want to see who it is. ”
"Australian?"
"I heard that it was overseas Chinese, but I haven't seen it, Qiao Mo went to pick her up, it seems that something good is coming. ”
Yan Ran's heart sank and fell into the ice cellar.
