Chapter 17: Mother

The next day the whole team returned to Elceselena with her, but as soon as she returned to the city, she was nowhere to be found, and she did not know what she was doing. Ai Huan didn't seem to have any energy at all, and he didn't even train listlessly in the afternoon, which made Uribe very worried. However, Pedro told him that it didn't matter, it should be a little emotional thing, and Uribe was relieved. Love is always too colorful for seventeen or eighteen-year-old people, and it is too normal for a sunny day to rain for a while.

After the end of the training, Ai Huan did not leave immediately as usual, but sat in his position in a daze, no one dared to disturb him, although now his identity is a newcomer, but everyone knows his importance to this team.

But at this time, his mobile phone rang, he picked it up and looked at it, it was an unknown number, "Hey, hello." ”

A middle-aged woman's voice came from there, speaking Spanish fluently, "Hello, are you Mr. Ai?"

"Yes, which one are you?"

"I'm Selena's mom, I'd like to see you, okay?"

Selena's mother was a little younger than expected, with brown hair, dressed in professional women's clothes, looking very capable, and after seeing Ai Huan, she did not have the storm she imagined, but maintained the due politeness, "Hello, please take a seat, call me Mandy." ”

"Hello, ma'am!" said Ai Huan, looking a little reserved.

After the two sides were seated, Mandy was surprised to get to the point, "I think you know why I'm meeting you, right?" Ai Phantom nodded, not answering anything.

"Very well then I don't want to be so polite, I have limited time, you know Selena is leaving today, I have to help her clean up, this vacation is a bit long. Mandy said to herself, "When I was young, I also wanted to be a star, and it was because I had a dream of stardom that I went to Los Angeles, where I met Selena's biological father, he was really handsome at that time, and I really thought that as long as there was love, it didn't matter if I couldn't fulfill my dream, so we fell madly in love, and then got married, and I was only sixteen years old when I gave birth to Selena." But love didn't last long, and when love disappeared, I was left with only Selena and a body of exhaustion, and it wasn't until then that I realized that I didn't know what love was at all. ”

Ai Huan still didn't speak, he kept silently drinking the coffee in front of him, very bitter.

"Selena is a wonderful daughter, I see myself in her, and she has helped me to fulfill my unfinished dreams, so I have always thanked God for taking away my love and giving me such a precious gift. Over the years, I have always tried my best to be a competent mother, give her everything she wants, and stand behind her at all times to support her, but that doesn't mean that I will blindly agree with all her decisions, because there are many things she doesn't understand at all, and I don't think you will understand either, right?"

Ai Huan nodded, still not speaking.

"The road I have traveled has been difficult, and although I always thank God for giving me such a wonderful life, I will never let my daughter follow my old path. Mandy's voice suddenly became cold, and Ai Huan even felt the heavy curse in his words.

"Madam, I understand what you are saying, and I think that no one can take her away from you, let alone want to hurt her, and we are consistent in this. Ai Huan's heart suddenly ached, a feeling he had never experienced before, and the pain made him unable to speak for a while.

In fact, his meaning is already very clear, since he knew Selena's identity, he knew that all this was a water moon mirror, there is a world of difference in the identities of the two people, and there is no possibility of development at all, as for becoming a person like Ronaldo and Messi, to be honest, he didn't dare to think about it at all, it was an unattainable daydream.

But I didn't expect Mandy to understand what he meant, not because Ai Huan's Spanish level was too low, but because the way he spoke still retained the Chinese/national imprint, such a euphemism is difficult for Westerners to understand, "Mr. Ai, please forgive me, I have already investigated you before I came." Knowing that you're a footballer but you've just been fired for being a low level, I don't believe you'll have a brighter future. Don't tell me Americans don't know anything about football, I'm of Italian descent and don't know much about football. ”

These words were actually very hurtful, but Ai Huan didn't feel any greater damage, what kind of pain was more serious than the injury in his heart? At least at this time, he didn't feel it at all.

"I know a lot of Chinese/Chinese people, they are all humble gentlemen, and I also know that most people in your country are very serious and responsible about their feelings, but I still can't believe in your ability, please forgive me for saying this. Because as a mother, I must not watch my children experience that kind of life, which is nothing to be proud of. What's more, she is already a star, and now she may think that love is bigger than the sky, but soon she will understand that love is actually nothing. She's only sixteen and you're eighteen, and you're too young to understand what you're up against. I'll admit that she may have a real affection for you, and you're a very charming lad, but could it be because she's never been in contact with someone like you, so she has some affections?

"Okay, don't say it. Ai Huan finally couldn't listen anymore, and he stood up. You can insult my abilities, but don't insult my feelings, what reason is there to put yourself in such a situation?

"Mr. Ai," Mandy immediately stood up, "although my words may be very hurtful, I hope you can understand a mother's feelings, I just want to protect her with the greatest ability and not let her be hurt at all, poverty is also a kind of harm." ”

"You've made it clear, can I leave now?"

"No, no, no, Mr. Ai, you still don't understand what I mean, I don't say what I want you to do, or if you have any requirements, you can also put it forward, I think I can do my best to meet your needs. Mandy was really a little scared when she saw that Ai Huan was leaving.

Ai Huan's face suddenly turned snow-white, which was the biggest insult, "I'm sorry, I still have something, I hope I don't see you again!" After speaking, he strode away, the sun was shining outside, but Ai Huan's heart was already pouring rain.
