"What?" Gu Nanqiao raised his eyebrows.

"Mei Hanqiu has never been able to have children because of physical problems, and now the child is just an adopted child...... This matter is a secret of the Mei family, it has never been made public to the public, and few people talk about it, but Old Man Mei cares after all. Earlier, Mei Hanqiu had always wanted to have her own children, but she tried all kinds of methods but failed, and now that she is getting older, she has no chance. ”

"Whether Mei Hanqiu's child is biological or adopted, to put it bluntly, it's all her family affair," Gu Nanqiao raised her eyebrows, not saving Ms. Xiao face at all, "What's the matter, do you still want to make a fuss about her adopted son?"

"If I am a scheming person, as for coming to this point?" Xiao Fangran hooked the corners of her lips and laughed out loud with disdain, a few points each of coldness and pride, "Qiaoqiao, don't interject, listen to my mother's analysis-Old Man Mei feels sorry for his daughter, and rarely mentions these." But as he gets older, he has to think about who the position of head of the Mei family will pass on, and there is no way to whitewash these things anymore. To put it simply, if the position of the head of the family is passed to Mei Hanqiu, won't it mean that there is no successor?"

There was no superfluous expression on Gu Nanqiao's face, and this silence almost made Xiao Fangran mistakenly think that she was moved, but the words she said had a completely different meaning.

"So I worked hard to train me so that I could fight for some face. Now he took the initiative to come to me, just to use me as a bargaining chip to win the approval of Old Man Mei?"

After a while, Gu Nanqiao raised his lips self-deprecatingly, and before the laughter completely overflowed, there was an obvious cry.

"Mother, I want to ask, what do you think of me, am I something that comes and goes, or am I just a tool for revenge?"

Hearing this question, Xiao Fangran was obviously stunned for a moment, Ms. Xiao, who has always been high-minded, has never bowed her head, especially when facing her daughter, she can't pull her face, so that even the coaxing words sound a little sharp.

"Qiaoqiao, how can you think of your mother like this, I'm all for the good...... Since I was a child, I have been planning for the future, isn't this skill taught by my mother?

"What's the matter, do you still want me to return what I gave me?" Gu Nanqiao leaned back in the passenger seat, and was also a little angry, and his blurted out words became unceremoniously, "Then just say it directly, what do you want me to do - do you want me to never go on stage again in the future, or something else, if I don't drop out of the middle school attached to the Academy of Drama, maybe it will be my wish." ”

Seeing that the chat entered a collapse, Xiao Fangran couldn't help but take a deep breath, she restrained the fire that was faintly surging in her chest, and adjusted her mentality as quickly as possible.

Xiao Fangran is very clear about the situation at this moment, now is not the time to teach her children, and she is not qualified to teach Gu Nanqiao a lesson, her daughter is too reasonable to forgive this unqualified mother, it is already a difficult thing to simply be forgiven, not to mention that at such a juncture, Xiao Fangran has a deeper purpose when she returns to Xinguang City.

The hard fight is destined to have no result, so all she can do is to put down her face to appease.

Thinking like this, Xiao Fangran raised her hand and straightened the scarf around Gu Nanqiao's neck, deliberately lightening her tone.

"Qiaoqiao, don't say such angry words, listen to my mother's explanation, okay? I haven't been around to take care of it all these years, but my mother has always paid attention to the big and small things I have experienced, and I have spent no less thought on my body than anyone who is a mother...... I watched studying in the Children's Palace, borrowed it from Brother Fan's house, and successfully studied in primary school and was admitted to the high school attached to the Academy of Drama. Jojo has always been the pride of my mother, and I really hope I can see the results. ”

Gu Nanqiao eats soft and not hard, if Xiao Fangran keeps being forceful, she won't give this lady a good look, and she will end this conversation hastily. But at the end, Xiao Fangran suddenly changed his tactics and played the emotional card, which made Gu Nanqiao suddenly a little caught off guard, and he couldn't say any cruel words that had not yet been spoken.

Even if he knew that these words were half-true and half-false, to a large extent, it might be Xiao Fangran's coaxing words that she deliberately said in order to move her, Gu Nanqiao finally relented.

The more something is missing, the more we look forward to something.

Things in the world have always been like this.

"Why, does it make sense to ignore me for so long?"

Gu Nanqiao raised his eyebrows mockingly, but his tone was unconsciously choked, and he couldn't hide the fragility of his strong support. No matter how strong and decisive she is, Gu Nanqiao is just a sixteen-year-old girl after all, and she behaves extremely immature in front of human feelings, and even has a little innocence. The sharp spikes all over her body are just for self-protection, what she really hopes is that Xiao Fangran will give warmth and caressing, then she will naturally expose her soft belly.

talks about resentment and unforgiveness, but in fact, to put it bluntly, she is just a little girl who lacks maternal love.

"Qiaoqiao, I didn't come here at first because there was no way, the situation of the Mei family is changing rapidly, every step I take is like walking on thin ice, and what I want to do can't be done has become the norm. It's hard to get along with Brother Lin, but who isn't difficult. Later, I could see the position of the head of the Mei family, but ah...... I have concerns in my heart, I think about resentment of me, I must not know how to face me, I dare not come to look for it, I think that I can feel at ease if I see it well. ”

Gu Nanqiao was silent, the warm air was blowing in the narrow carriage, and as Xiao Fangran blew the crack in the open window into the bursts of cold air, the collision of cold and heat made the warmth carried by the dampness in the corners of her eyes fleeting, as if it had never existed at all.

And Xiao Fangran was still talking to herself, her voice was intermittent, and every word smashed into Gu Nanqiao's heart, making the ice in her heart disintegrate little by little.

At this point, she didn't want to delve into what was right or wrong.

"Every year on my birthday, my mother prepares birthday presents, and there is a cabinet full of those things, but none of them can be given away. When I was leaving, I didn't know that Brother Fan would adopt, so I specially told Zheng Yandu to take care of it more, because I was afraid that I would be wronged in the future. I know that I am most afraid of owing favors, especially to Yandu...... I have some other thoughts, even if this is the case, I will pull down my face to arrange the way back, Qiaoqiao, I really didn't do well enough, but how can I feel that my mother doesn't love it?"

Looking at Xiao Fangran's beautiful eyes with a thin layer of tears, Gu Nanqiao's heart was full of thoughts.

I don't know how long she was silent before she finally sighed in a low voice.

"If I have to say all of this as good for me, then I have nothing to say. The past is over, what do you want me to do now, forgive? Okay, then I'll give a happy word, I've been waiting for an explanation all these years, otherwise I can't get over this hurdle in my heart...... Now that I've said it, I've accepted the explanations given, and these things can be regarded as turning the page. I don't want to mention the redundancy, I will send a blessing text message every New Year's Festival in the future, maybe in a few years I will come to the door in person for a reunion dinner, and I can't do more things. Sorry, Mom, I'm just human. “

With Gu Nanqiao's almost bland words, it seemed that something had gradually settled.

"As for the rest, I don't want to mix it, and I don't need to mix it up. To put it bluntly, if I have not fulfilled my responsibilities, what obligation do I have to pay for my love and hatred? What's more, the affairs of the Mei family have nothing to do with me, I just want to live a good life now, and I don't want to take care of the affairs of my ancestors, and I can't manage them. ”

Gu Nanqiao lowered his eyes, took off the scarf around his neck casually, and handed it to Xiao Fangran's hand.

"If I came here this time to explain to me, then I have made my attitude clear, if there is any other purpose, I can't help, I can only wish you a good life. Okay, I'm going home, goodbye. ”

After saying this, Gu Nanqiao held back the tears that had not yet taken away his eyes, raised his hand and pushed open the car door.

The cold wind mixed with subtle snowflakes drifted over, easily dispelling the warmth that had accumulated in the carriage with great difficulty, and seeing Gu Nanqiao's determination, Xiao Fangran finally began to feel panicked.

"Qiaoqiao, don't go, you have to listen to your mother, you have to help me ......"

This sentence was squeezed out from between his teeth, and Xiao Fangran's hand tightly grasped Gu Nanqiao's arm, revealing a very rare vulnerability. For this proud person, even if it makes people see fleeting weakness, it is a rather faceless thing, let alone bowing his head in front of his own daughter.

At this point, Xiao Fangran really has no choice.

"Qiaoqiao, my mother came back to look for her this time, she really needs ...... What I can't get, I'll have to get it back. Don't worry, everything is planned by my mother, and when the time comes, we will return to Mei's house together, and my mother will support what we want to do, and I will make up for it. Although the old man Mei is eccentric, he is the head of the Mei family after all, and he must consider the development of the Mei family in his actions, Mei Hanqiu and I are his biological daughters, even if they are illegitimate daughters, they are blood and family, and they are closer than outsiders after all...... Even if it's just a second-best option, he'll consider me, and we'll make it this time, Jojo. ”

"I'm still saying that, why do you think I'll say yes?"

Gu Nanqiao was not moved by these words, but just raised his eyebrows and looked at Xiao Fangran lightly, and continued to speak after a long time.

"I'm not interested in the position of the head of the Mei family, and before telling me this, I didn't even know that I had anything to do with the Mei family, so I didn't have any resonance with what I said. For things that don't resonate, why do you want to force yourself, just because you're unwilling?—— Mom, after so many years, have you ever cared about me, and the miserable childhood you told me about wanted me to take everything back, but what about me, have you thought about my childhood?"

"How could I not care, it is my only daughter, and it is all my heart, how can I not love, not give what I think is the best......? I'm already this age, and I can sing for a few more years, do you think I'm planning for myself?"

Gu Nanqiao glanced at Xiao Fangran meaningfully, as if she was distinguishing the truth from the falsehood in her words, and only spoke after a long time.

"What's the matter, or did I misunderstand and didn't understand?"
