Chapter 22: Heartache

The afterglow of the setting sun was scattered all over the land, and before I knew it, Mu Xiaoxiao had been in front of her mother's grave for a whole afternoon.

"Mom, I'm leaving, next time I'll bring the baby to see you." Gently stroking her mother's photo, Mu Xiaoxiao gently touched the cold tombstone with her forehead, and then stood up and left, but when she turned around, Mu Xiaoxiao saw a rickety figure standing six or seven meters away from her.

Mu Xiaoxiao was stunned, and looked at the old man who was holding a bunch of small wrinkled chrysanthemums with gray hair, and he didn't react for a long time.

The old man finally walked slowly towards her on crutches.

Mu Xiaoxiao was a little hard to believe, obviously she hadn't seen her for two years, why did this person become like this, obviously only in her fifties, why did she look so old?

The old man finally walked in front of her, his eyes were full of tears, he looked at Mu Xiaoxiao in a daze, his lips trembled, he wanted to say something, but he couldn't say it.

Mu Xiaoxiao couldn't speak for a while, and the two stood face to face.

The tears in the old man's eyes finally fell, he quickly lowered his head and wiped it, and then put the bouquet in front of Mu Xiaoxiao's mother's grave, next to Mu Xiaoxiao's bouquet, and then said: "It's okay if you're okay, it must be your mother who is blessing you, it's okay if you're fine......"

The old man's voice was hoarse, as if he was suppressing some kind of emotion.

Mu Xiaoxiao suddenly felt a sense of astringency in her heart, this was her father, the man she used to hate the most, but with the revelation of the past two years ago, her hatred also dissipated. However, for the suffering she and her mother have suffered for so many years, she did not forgive him, and at that time, she couldn't do it as if nothing had happened, she could not hate him, but she could not do it without resenting him.

However, now, after two years, looking at him today, who was originally quite healthy, as if he was seventy or eighty, her heart suddenly pinched.

This is her father!

If there were no past, then their family would definitely be happy, but the world is unpredictable!

The man she hated for so long, the man she had complained about for so long, in her heart, this man used to be the embodiment of the devil, but now, this devil has a rickety body, gray hair, and a wrinkled face, as if he will fall down at any time.

How can she hate him like this? How to complain?

Mu Xiao's heart was astringent, watching him look at her almost greedily, her heart was soft after all.

After a long moment, he suddenly lowered his head, and then slowly turned around to leave.

Mu Xiaoxiao looked at him as he was leaving, and wanted to say something, but couldn't say anything.

Suddenly, Mu Xiaoxiao looked at him as if he had stepped on a stone, his body was crooked, and he was about to fall, but she rushed over without thinking about it and supported him.

As soon as his arm warmed, Jiang Dahai's whole body tensed all of a sudden, and he looked at Mu Xiaoxiao who was supporting him in disbelief, and his old eyes were moist again.

After so many years, so many years, his daughter has never been so close to him.

Mu Xiaoxiao looked at Jiang Dahai, who was excited because of her support, and her heart was also sour, she didn't let go of his arm, and helped him slowly walk down the steps and out of the cemetery.

Under the cemetery, a young man leaned next to the car, and saw Mu Xiaoxiao helping Jiang Dahai out from a distance, and hurriedly greeted him.

"Father-in-law, how are you?" The young man quickly held on to the other side of Jiang Dahai and looked at Mu Xiaoxiao suspiciously.

Mu Xiaoxiao also glanced at this young man, who looked less than thirty years old, with a slender figure, refreshing short hair, with a hint of elegance in his facial features, his eyes were not big, but they were very bright, and his eyes looked at Jiang Dahai with a strong look of concern.

"It's okay, I'm fine." Jiang Dahai showed a rare smile on his face, stood still, and said to Mu Xiaoxin a little nervously: "Xiaoxiao, or ...... Let's have dinner together. ”

Mu Xiaoxiao looked at the expectant and cautious look in his eyes, his heart softened again, and he nodded.

Jiang Dahai saw Mu Xiaoxiao nodding, tears were about to come out, and he was so excited that he couldn't speak.

The young man on the side looked at Jiang Dahai so excited, and couldn't help but look Mu Xiaoxiao up and down, remembering what Jiang Dahai called her just now, the young man seemed to remember something all of a sudden, and grinned: "You are a little sister, right?" ”

Mu Xiaoxiao was puzzled and blinked her eyes.

Jiang Dahai then spoke: "Xiaoxiao, this is Shiyang, he has been taking care of me for the past two years." ”

Mu Xiaoxiao also heard what the man named Shiyang called Jiang Dahai just now, and she nodded to him, which was regarded as a greeting.

However, Shiyang was very enthusiastic, and opened his mouth familiarly: "I didn't expect to meet my little sister here, my father-in-law always talks about you." ”

Mu Xiaoxiao looked at Shiyang in surprise, then looked at Jiang Dahai again, and did not speak.

Jiang Dahai smiled, his face showed astringency, and he didn't speak.

Shiyang suddenly felt the strange atmosphere between the two, and quickly stopped.

……

Mu Xiaoxiao didn't expect to sit and eat with Jiang Dahai so soon, and the atmosphere became a little awkward, fortunately, there was Shiyang, this man was a self-acquaintance, even if Mu Xiaoxiao's expression had been faint, and he didn't look interested in his topic, he talked to himself alone, and he was very happy.

And Jiang Dahai didn't eat much, most of the time he just looked at Mu Xiaoxiao, as if he didn't look at this time, he wouldn't be able to see it in the future.

Mu Xiaoxin hung on the children at home, hurriedly ate a little and left.

Seeing her get up to leave, Jiang Dahai looked reluctant, but he didn't say anything to stay.

However, to Mu Xiaoxiao's surprise, she just walked out of the hotel, and Shiyang chased after her.

"Miss Mu." Unexpectedly, he didn't call her Xiaomei again, and his face, which had been smiling, also put on a stern look.

Mu Xiaoxiao was slightly surprised, "Mr. Shi still has something?" ”

"My father-in-law's health is very bad, he has always been very concerned about you, now that you are back, please accompany him more."

Looking at the handsome man in front of him, Mu Xiaoxiao showed an indifferent smile on his face, obviously this Shiyang didn't know about the things between their father and daughter, Jiang Dahai didn't tell him, Mu Xiaoxiao of course didn't want to say anything in front of an outsider, she just nodded, and left.

Shiyang looked at Mu Xiaoxiao's back as he left in a hurry, sighed softly, turned around, and saw Jiang Dahai standing behind him, only to see that his eyes were still following Mu Xiaoxiao's back as he left, and his eyes were wet......

When Mu Xiaoxiao went home, Xiao Bu was taking a bath, and when she heard Mu Xiaoxiao's voice, Xiao Bu almost screamed with joy, wearing a small bath towel, and rushed out of the bathroom with her hair wet.

Mu Xiaoxiao hugged her son in her arms and kissed her hard, "Did the baby listen to his aunt today?" ”

"Baby-obedient." Xiao Bu hugged Mu Xiaoxiao's neck and smeared her with saliva.

Liu Nian looked at the mother and son who hugged each other and were very affectionate, and said with a smile: "Okay, I'll go back when you come back, I'm going back to the sea of clouds tomorrow, do you want to go to the sea of clouds with me to have fun, anyway, you're okay now." ”

Mu Xiaoxiao wiped her son's hair and said with a smile: "I'm very excited." ”

"There is a parent-child activity in the school every day, and parents are required to participate." Hearing Liu Nian say this, Mu Xiaoxiao thought about Gu Han's identity again, and suddenly laughed, "If my brother-in-law also participates, the school will definitely strengthen the police force." ”

Liu Nian smiled, "He used to participate in a parent-child activity at Jintang School, but now he refuses to go." ”

Mu Xiaoxiao was very surprised, it turned out that a character like Gu Han would also participate in the activities of his son's school?

However, when it came to Gu Jintang, the expression on Liu Nian's face suddenly became sad.

The eldest son of the Gu family is now eleven years old, and he was sent abroad at a very young age, and he really doesn't have much time to spend with this eldest son, so every time she mentions Gu Jintang, she feels sad in her heart and feels that she owes her eldest son.

"I haven't seen Jintang for two years, I still remember the last time I saw him, he was like a little prince, noble and handsome......"

"How can you boast about your nephew like this!" Liu Nian finally smiled again, although she would be sad when she talked about Gu Jintang, but she would also be proud, her son, at a young age, was already extraordinary, and in the future, his life would be even more exciting.

"By the way, you met Tong Haiyan today, what did he say?" Liu Nian took the bag and was about to leave, but suddenly turned around and asked.

As soon as he heard this, the smile on Mu Xiaoxiao's face disappeared, "He looks tired, he is very unhappy when I ask about the company, and he doesn't want to talk to me, but I look at his expression and state, Haiyun Group seems to be really unable to hold on." Speaking of this, Mu Xiaoxiao sighed heavily.

"Actually, Xiaoxiao, if you feel guilty and want to help him and save Haiyun Group, you can ask Su Yan for help. Although Su Yan was annoyed that Tong Haiyan had concealed your news and hid you in country D in the past two years, he was also grateful to Tong Haiyan for saving your life two years ago. Moreover, if you ask Su Yan for help in person, I think Su Yan will not refuse, after all, Hengrui and Tong have cooperated for so many years, and Tong's is now being acquired by hostile acquisition, and the reason is that Su Yan first hit Tong hard, so people have a chance to take advantage of it. ”

Mu Xiaoxiao shook her head, "Even if Su Yan is willing to help, Haiyan probably won't agree." Although she didn't fall in love with Tong Haiyan, she still knew him, he was a proud person, although he and Su Yan had been friends for more than ten years, but now that they were friends because of her, the friendliness had long been gone, in Tong Haiyan's eyes, Su Yan was his rival, how could he accept Su Yan's help at this time.

Listening to Mu Xiaoxiao's words, Liu Nian could only sigh.

After sending off the passing year, Xiao Bu stuck his head out of the towel and pouted, "Mommy, the baby wants to be daddy." ”

Mu Xiaoxiao saw her son say this, and she also sighed in her heart, "Daddy is busy with work, and when Daddy is not busy, he will come back to see the baby, but the baby must be obedient and well-behaved, you know?" ”

"The baby is the most well-behaved!"

"Okay, isn't it time for the best baby to go to bed now?"

"Well, baby go to sleep."
