I don't know in what mood I ended the call with my old man, but the moment I hung up the phone, I really had a feeling of prostration, I smoked two cigarettes in a row, and I didn't feel like I could escape from the cage of this emotion.

After a few moments, I heard a familiar sound of footsteps coming from the hallway, and then Xiao Ai appeared in front of me, she looked a little tired. But the moment he saw me, he had a warm smile on his face, and then asked me, "Why are you sitting here alone, are your mother and Yang Qu gone?" ”

Instead of rushing to answer, I shifted myself and motioned for her to sit down beside me. After Xiao Ai sat down, he took the initiative to explain to me: "I was going to come back to have dinner with you, but because I discussed with the public relations team the details of the upcoming media conference, it was delayed. ”

I held her in my arms, shook my head, signaled that it was okay, Xiao Ai also subconsciously leaned into my arms, and then closed her eyes with peace of mind, as if she had found the best support in her life.

"Jiang Qiao, your heartbeat seems to be fast, there must be something hidden in your heart." She said and left my body again, then looked at me.

"I don't want to hide anything from you, I'll tell you anything you want to hear."

"Of course I would like to hear it."

"You tell me to think about where to start."

Xiao Ai looked at me, and my thoughts returned to the day when Yang Jin told me the truth that she was forced to leave...... Now that I think about it, it is really not easy for her as a woman, if it weren't for an incomparably strong heart, she might not have been able to get to where she is today, let alone have such an achievement today. In that pioneering era, she was already a highly educated woman in the new era, and her understanding of this society had reached a very high level, but even so, she seemed so powerless in dealing with children's problems. Perhaps, she sees me and Yang Qu as the whole of her life, so she wants to arrange our destiny so much.

After thinking about her inner needs from Yang Jin's point of view, I finally opened my mouth to tell Xiao Ai about this past that had been buried in my heart for a long time......

After Xiao Ai listened, she seemed to have experienced that thrilling time in person, she let out a heavy "exhalation", and said after a long time: "In this way, Yang Qu is really your half-sister and half-mother...... Jiang Qiao, I'm really happy for you, you are not a lonely person, in addition to grandma, you also have a close relative. ”

"Well, the appearance of Yang Qu has brought a lot of different colors to my life...... So, it made me more able to understand what my mom was doing, but understanding and unconditional obedience are not a concept.

Speaking of this, my mood sank, and after a while, I lit a cigarette and said to Xiao Ai: "I heard bad news from my mother's driver today...... During the time I was going abroad to look for you, she went for a routine check-up and was found to have breast cancer...... Thankfully, it's still early days...... But for a woman, this is already a devastating blow. Although medicine has advanced to the stage where it can cure early-stage breast cancer, there are still accidents...... I could see that she was very scared in her heart, but this fear did not come from the fear of death, she just couldn't let go of me and Yang Qu...... Especially Yang Qu. Because the situation in Shenzhen is far more complicated than we imagined! ”

Xiao Ai's expression also lowered as I narrated, and she whispered to me, "This news is quite regrettable...... Therefore, is she more eager for you to be with Jin Qiu, because only Jin Qiu has the ability and qualifications to take over her life's work, and only when you are with Jin Qiu, can you and Yang Qu's life be guaranteed...... And I'm just a woman who won't gain her trust no matter what, because I still have a mess here that I haven't been able to clean up! ”

Xiao Ai is a smart woman, so of course she can think clearly about the cause and effect relationship, but Yang Jin's thoughts can't replace my thoughts after all, I want to be with her, which has never changed.

Xiao Ai left the bench where we were sitting together, and then stood by the guardrail, she looked up at the farthest part of the city, the wind on the roof of the building, in an instant, her hair was ruffled, but she stood firmer than ever.

After a while, she finally turned back to me and said, "Jiang Qiao, can you answer me a question?" ”

"Hmm."

"In the face of human nature and family affection, will love become very small?"

"No, I don't think so, love is also a part of human nature, and the relationship between us does not need to be fulfilled, and it does not need to be sacrificed!"

Xiao Ai looked at me, she replied with a relieved smile: "Jiangqiao, you don't need to worry, when I decide to stay in Nanjing, I will no longer have the idea of giving up, I am your woman, when you face difficulties and choices, I will definitely stand by your side and overcome it with you, and change this bad life together." ”

Xiao Ai's words made my heart fall like a stone, and I really needed her affirmation. Imagine, if she lets go again at this time because of fulfillment, how will I face the twists and turns in this life, and if she is by my side, it is like a light lit in the dark night, and then guide me to make the most correct choice.

After a while, I opened my mouth and asked Xiao Ai, "If it were you, what method do you think would be able to break the current predicament?" ”

Xiao Ai replied without much thought: "Of course, the best way is to make your mother trust me as much as she trusts Jin Qiu...... However, to be honest, I will never be able to become another Jin Qiu, just like Jin Qiu has no way to replace Xiao Ai! ”

I nodded, and the crux of the problem is here, it seems that it has become an unsolvable knot, and one of the people in this whirlpool will definitely be hurt a lot. But I don't want the person who is hurt to be Yang Jin, because the double torture of ** and spirit is not something that people can bear. What's more, she really needs a good attitude to face the terrible disease of cancer.

"Jiang Qiao, Auntie, she has always wanted to achieve her goal by changing the relationship between us. However, have you ever thought that we can also change her and let her let go of her worries and accept our way of life...... You know better than anyone that the way we represent is not negative, we also have a lot of thinking, and we also aspire to live a better life, which represents the balance between the spiritual and material worlds, and the universal values they pursue are extreme compared to us. ”

I looked up at Xiao Ai...... At this moment, it was as if she was holding one of the most delicate tools in the world, and then she tore a gap in the darkness, and the long-lost sunlight pierced through this gap, and generously scattered the earth.

I took her hand......

She gently touched my cheek, smiled like a sun, and said, "Jiangqiao, look up...... From now on, you are the most vibrant sunrise above our heads...... Except for me, I hope you can give more warmth to Auntie. At this time, the only thing she can rely on is you and me. ”

I nodded vigorously, and then looked at the woman in front of me who had been honed by life to a very mature woman, although the price was a bit large, but it was undeniable that she was the best she was now.

I let her lean into my arms and asked in her ear, "There's a question that has been bothering me for days...... Why did you suddenly change your mind that day in the Dream Tree, I thought that after that, you would completely disappear from my world like you did two years ago. ”

Xiao Ai hugged me a little tighter, and she seemed to be afraid of losing. After a long time, she said to me: "Speaking of which, I really want to thank She Shaobo for appearing, it was he who changed my mind." ”

As soon as Xiao Ai's words fell, She Shaobo's determined appearance appeared in my brain, and I couldn't associate Xiao Ai's gratitude with him.

Xiao Ai didn't want to explain too much, she grabbed my arm, then looked in the direction of the "Tulip Hotel", and said to me: "Jiangqiao, Auntie should live in Tulip, right?" …… We will go to see her now and persuade her to go to the hospital for treatment as soon as possible, so as not to miss the best time for treatment. ”

"Shall we go together?"

Xiao Ai nodded heavily: "Well, let's do it together." ”
