Chapter 25: The Rainbow of the Clouds and the Rain (8)

"Mu Zhi and Suixin will come over later. Today, there is a pianist's recital, and Makiyuki took Suixin and Tatsuhito to go. After saying goodbye, go home for dinner. Zhi Shen explained.

Jing Yi inhaled for a while before turning her face to look at him. He was staring at her intently, too.

"I didn't know I was her mother. It will take some time to get her to accept. Jingyi said.

It seemed that she had achieved her goal, but she didn't feel any lighter. But there was an intuition that she had only taken half a step on a difficult road...... She saw that Tao Xiang had a little familiar expression on his face, helpless or mocking. Only a little, but she knew he was laughing at her impulsiveness and loneliness again.

"You can tell her right away." Tao Xiang said.

"No!" Jingyi immediately said Da.

Her face flushed, and there was a hint of timidity in the big eyes behind the lenses.

Tao Xiang was silent.

"Give me a moment." Jingyi stood up as she spoke, "I'll prepare, I'll ......"

She couldn't leave Shanghai right away. Tzu Chi still needs her to manage it now. She looked at Tao Xiang, and he must have a clear understanding of her situation.

"Jingyi, I don't have that much time to wait for you to get ready. Admit it or not, you decide immediately; If you don't go, you can give me an answer in three days. Tao Xiang's voice and words were calm and cold, and there was no room for negotiation at all.

Jingyi was flustered at this time.

She suddenly heard a little noise, and was stunned, and Tao Xiao also frowned. The two exchanged glances, Tao Xiang got up, strode past the door of the study, paused slightly, and opened the door.

Sui Xin stood at the door, looking up at Tao Xiang.

Because he wanted to talk to Jingyi, Tao Xiang didn't let people stay at the door of the study. There is no precaution. At this time, Sui Xin looked at him with wide eyes, and he suddenly felt the urge to smash this door...... "Hello." He called his daughter's name in a hoarse voice, "Nan, Dad wants to talk to you." ”

Then he looked at him blankly.

Tao Xiang had never seen such a look in her daughter's eyes.

Then the big eyes of the heart always look forward to the flying ...... Maybe not, he had seen it before, dumbfounded, ignorant...... But it was all in another pair of very similar eyes, which he had seen, and which he had not seen for many years, and thought he had forgotten. But Suixin also looked at him blankly.

"Nan," Tao Xiang reached over and stroked the back of Suixin's head. Round, full back of the head...... Jing Yi walked up to him, he looked at Jing Yi and said, "Come, I'll give you a formal introduction." Tao Suixin, Cheng Jingyi - but Suixin, you can't call her by her name, and you can't call her aunt, she's your mother. ”

"Daddy!" Then he said immediately. She pulled down Tao Xiang's hand, "Dad said nonsense. She's Aunt Catherine, not Mom. My mother...... My mother...... My mother lost me and the baby because of a stomachache! ”

Jingyi covered her lips.

"Grandma said, my mother ......" Sui Xin's little face flushed, "My mother won't come back!" Will never come back! She doesn't want me, she doesn't like me......"

She was about to run. was grabbed by Tao Xiang's eyes quickly, and he was about to pick it up. She struggled and refused to let her father hold her.

Both father and daughter are stubborn, one desperately trying to run away, and the other trying his best to hold on. It was still Tao Xiang's strength that prevailed, and he held Suixin in his arms and comforted him.

Then my heart finally cried.

Tao Xiang patted her on the back and coaxed her softly......

Jing Yi's eyes were blurred with tears.

She had seen it with her own eyes and appeared countless times in her dreams, such a scene, even the sound, he just held the baby in his arms, coaxing, coaxing...... She broke down and said to him, "I'm sorry...... Makino's ...... I'm sorry ......."

She fled from the home where he and Suixin lived.

……

When Jingyi returned to her apartment, her eyes were red and swollen. When the housekeeper and Aunt Li saw her, they silently stepped aside, not daring to speak rashly.

When the phone at home was ringing at 61, she asked Aunt Li to answer the phone and tell the other party that she would call back later - she needed a little time to calm down. She is no longer a little girl who is run wild with bad emotions. But...... After all, it's because of heart. Her daughter was satisfied.

She sat on the sofa, closed her eyes, and saw the appearance and voice of Suixin's cry just now...... Tao Xiang hugged and coaxed - this made her even more heartbroken.

Electricity 61 did not ring again.

The room was quiet, and after a while, a wet towel was handed to her. There is also a cup of hot tea on the coffee table in front of you. She took the towel and wiped her face and said, "Thank you, Aunt Li." ”

She wiped her face, her mood had calmed down, and asked, "Whose electricity chapter 61 was just now?" ”

"It's General Xiao. The movement of his troops is going far down. I would like to say hello before I go. I'll call later. Aunt Li said.

Jingyi nodded, listening to Aunt Li's voice also had a nasal voice, she raised her eyes and looked at it, and was taken aback - on Aunt Li's face, the wound she treated last time was not yet healed, and there was a new wound on her face...... Apparently also cried, and his nose and eyes were red. was watched by her, and Aunt Li tried her best to avoid it.

Jingyi was silent for a moment, stood up, and whispered, "Aunt Li, you come." ”

She and Aunt Li entered the side hall, asked Aunt Li to close the door, turned around and said, "Aunt Li, don't hide it from me this time." It's not a bruise on your face. You are my servant, and I am responsible for your personal safety. It's not a trivial matter to be repeatedly injured like this. If you hide it from me, Aunt Li, I can't keep you here......"

"Mr. Cheng." Aunt Li clasped her hands together, "Don't ask Mr. Cheng...... I really don't have the shame to tell you. ”

She fell into tears, Jingyi looked a little uncomfortable, but she had to make a stern appearance to ask her first.

"What the hell is going on? Aunt Li, since I came back, you have always helped me. If there's anything I can help with, you can tell me too. If you keep going like this, I have to doubt something, then this is the end of our fate. After Jingyi finished speaking, she waited for Aunt Li to answer.

Aunt Li was silent for a moment before she made up her mind and said, "Mr. Cheng, I won't tell you anything, I am a person with a husband...... Sir, you asked me if I ever had children. I did, but I was sold by my husband and exchanged for money to pay off my gambling debts. ”

Jingyi was taken aback.

She asked Aunt Li to sit down and said. Aunt Li shook her head, stood in front of her, and explained her affairs to Jingyi.

Jingyi heard that Aunt Li used to be a palace maid in the palace, and her husband was the cook in the imperial dining room. The emperor left the palace, and they had no source of livelihood. Her husband has a good handicraft, and he used to be able to do some errand in the restaurant, and life went by. She was working for others to make ends meet, and later married her husband Li Baozhu through someone else. How do you know that although Li Baozhu has good cooking skills, he is a gambler. The money earned is not enough to gamble, so I borrow money everywhere. It stinks in the business, and no one is willing to invite him. I didn't work for a while, and I was in debt, so I took my own son to pay off the debt...... It's going to drive her crazy. The son was gone, and he couldn't make up his mind to leave the gambler, so he took a kitchen knife and chopped off one of his fingers, asking him to swear to quit gambling. He also regretted it, and Ann gave birth for a while. Later, the famous Zhao family in the capital invited a cook, and the chef of that family was also in the palace in the past, and he was Li Baozhu's master. It was only for a while, but then he became addicted to gambling again, stole something from his employer's house and ran out, and has not been heard from since.

"He doesn't care about me anymore, I'll be a mother for others. Asking around for my son...... At that time, I heard that it was sold to Suzhou. I was looking for a few years in Suzhou. A few years ago, I lost my heart and didn't look for it, so I came to Shanghai when the child was gone. During my years with him, I also learned a little bit of a craft. I'm also incognito, afraid that people will know about the past...... I'm even more afraid that he will find me. Sir, when you first ate my cooking, and when you asked me, it frightened me...... I don't dare to hide it from you anymore. Once upon a time, my husband worked and stole from the employer, which was your aunt, Mrs. Zhao's house. Aunt Li lowered her head, very ashamed.

Jing Yi suddenly realized and said, "I'll just say it!" ”

She sighed, there are such coincidental things in the world. Realizing the current situation for a while, he asked Aunt Li what was going on, "Could it be that he found you?" ”

Aunt Li nodded.

It turned out that Jingyi asked her to prepare a dinner party that day, so she went to the vegetable market with the cook to buy vegetables, and she met Li Baozhu, who also went to buy vegetables. He followed her all the way back and learned where she lived. I don't stop coming to her these days. At first, she thought that he had really repented, but who knew that it didn't take long for him to reveal his true colors, and it turned out that he owed a large amount of gambling debts and wanted to find a new place to hide. She refused to take him in here, so he started beating her...... "I'm very scared, Mr. Cheng." provoked him, maybe he provoked the people of the Green Gang. It's going to get you into trouble for Mr. Cheng...... But I can't bear to watch him die......" Aunt Li wiped her tears.

Jingyi asked, "You gave him money?" ”

Aunt Li nodded. said that he had given him all the savings of the past few years to pay off his debts, which was far from enough.

Jingyi sighed and asked, "How much do you owe?" ”

Aunt Li shook her head and refused to speak.

Jingyi said, "Look at you, if I can help, I will also help." Since then, he has changed. ”

"Sir......" Aunt Li blushed, "he was arrested by the patrol room again this morning." I rented him a small room, and he sneaked into the landlord's kitchen to cook his own food...... The landlord thought that there was a burglar in the house, so he called the people who patrolled the house. When he realized that it was too late, he registered in the patrol room. ”

Jing Yi listened, it was really angry and funny. She comforted Aunt Li and said that she would be able to figure out a way. waited for Aunt Li to go down, and before she could call Dunhuang back for 61 words, Dunhuang called again. Listening to her voice, he first asked her if there was something wrong. Jingyi told Aunt Li about it. She said that it was not difficult to go to the patrol house to bail out, but it involved the Green Gang, and she didn't know where to start.

Xiao Dunhuang smiled and said that this is not a difficult matter. I'll find you someone to solve these things.

She asked who it was, but he wouldn't say.

Dunhuang telegraph chapter 61 talked about the transfer of troops. He's leaving for a while. I wanted to say goodbye in person, but time was too late, and he was about to pull out.

Jingyi knew that this should be Tao Xiang's pre-war deployment. Of course, it is a military secret, and she can't talk about it in detail, and she can't ask in detail. I had to tell him again and again to tell him to be careful in everything.

Instead, he blamed her for being verbose, and asked about what happened to her heart.

Jing Yi hesitated for a moment, but still told the truth.

Xiao Dunhuang listened to the silence for a long time before saying: "There must be such a time." I'll see you before I go. This kid ...... You can rest assured that this matter of Li Baozhu will be done in a hurry. ”

Jingyi heard someone shouting the commander in the 61st chapter of the telegram, and the Dunhuang hurriedly said goodbye and hung up the 61st episode of the telegram.

She sat at the phone 61 for a long time, and he didn't call again, and there was no other call 61...... She took the receiver and wanted to dial 61 to go out, or the Confucian Mansion or the Jin Mansion, or directly to No. 6 Gisfield Road. In the end, not a single call to 61 words was dialed.

She thought that Tao Xiang must be comforting Suixin at this time.

It's better not to disturb them......

She stood up and went upstairs to see Aunt Li busy setting the table in the dining room.

She sighed.

I didn't expect Aunt Li to have such an experience, it was really tragic. It's so miserable, it's still kind, and I can't bear to cut off contact with that person...... It's too kind.

When she thought of this, she felt that she should always help Aunt Li. Of course, she also had to punish her husband.

As soon as she arrived at the hospital the next day, Xiaomei said Dean Cheng, Commander Tao called 61 words.

She thought that Tao Xiang had called 61 words early to tell her about the things that pleased her, but she didn't expect Tao Xiang to talk to her about Li Baozhu in 61 words. She was stunned, and Tao Xiang had already explained the matter clearly. It turned out that it was given to him by Xiao Dunhuang before leaving. On the one hand, he repaid Li Baozhu's gambling debts and smeared usury; On the one hand, contact the patrol room to see what the situation is...... "There is news that will tell you, don't worry." He said.

The voice was a little cold, and Jing Yi sounded that he was not very pleasant and impatient.

She didn't know that Deng Dunhuang had handed over this matter to him to solve, but since it was already like this, she thanked Tao Xiang and asked him again and again.

After Tao Xiang finished speaking, he closed the line. It was as if he refused to say more than half a sentence to her.

Jingyi didn't even have time to say goodbye, let alone want to ask Suixin...... She held the earpiece for a moment.

Thinking of Suixin, she suddenly lost her spirit.

Fortunately, I still wanted to call 61 words and go home to tell Aunt Li, listening to her trembling and saying words of gratitude, as if a big stone had fallen in her heart, Jingyi felt more relaxed.

People are really strange sometimes, and they obviously hate it, but if something really happens, they are the most worried.

When Mei came in to bring her coffee, she smiled and winked at her.

"What are you laughing at, Xiaomei?" Jingyi is strange.

"Commander Tao's voice is really charming." After Xiaomei finished speaking, she hurried out.

Jing Yi held the coffee cup and was stunned for a while.

Tao Xiang...... His voice is very charismatic.

Jiang Hui'an prepared carefully for several days in order to entertain her sister-in-law Cheng Jingyi at home. Cheng Zhishen saw that the home was newly furnished, and even the tea set was specially replaced with ivory-white gold-painted Victorian porcelain that made people look more comfortable, and he couldn't help but praise Hui Anken's thoughts.

Hui An also knew that Shen Shen did not really invite Jingyi to the door on this day because he didn't have a social, but for Jingyi to specially push away all the entertainment. Therefore, I attach great importance to everything in the family today, and I want to be perfect everywhere. For this little sister, Zhishen has always felt guilty. Not only him, but even the third brother's Chen, isn't he trying his best to pamper his heart? Everyone knows what it's for.

Hui An and Zhishen's daughter Yue Ning and her two younger brothers, Dade Daxian, sat obediently on the stairs and watched her mother still directing the people to busy, and saw her father pacing back and forth leisurely and a little nervously smoking a cigarette.

"Sister, isn't Aunt Ten here yet? I want to eat cheesecake. Dade asked his sister back.

Yue Ning frowned and said, "Didn't you just eat cream cookies?" ”

"It's different......" Tatsuren puffed out his chubby face.

"But Xiaode, you can't be fat anymore!" Yue Ning exclaimed.

As they were talking, the car rang outside, and Dade and Daxian immediately got up and dragged Yue Ning's hand and ran. While running, he called "Dad" and "Mom, the tenth aunt is here"...... Hui An saw his three children running happily to the door, and Zhi Shen stood down and told them not to hurryβ€”as soon as the door opened, Jingyi came in from outside.

She smiled, and saw that Jingyi, who was neatly dressed, was suddenly stunned at the three children arranged from tall to short - Jingyi was still wearing her black cashmere coat, which made her look thinner; Holding a large bouquet of roses in his arms and carrying a few bags, he hurriedly handed them to the maid on the side...... She only glanced at the couple in a hurry, and after saying hello, she looked intently at the three children standing opposite her.

"Let me guess...... Are you Yue Ning? Jingyi took off her coat and bent over to look at this girl with eyebrows and eyes very similar to Hui'an. The same gentleness and kindness.

"Tenth aunt, I'm Yue Ning." Yue Ning nodded generously at Jing Yi.

Jing Yi rubbed her hands before touching her faceβ€”Yue Ning was not surprised at all when she saw her, obviously familiar with her appearanceβ€”she smiled and turned to the chubby boy beside Yue Ning, the older one should be five-year-old Dade, and the younger one should be three-year-old Daxian. The little brother and son look more like Hui'an. Jingyi squatted down and said, "Children, don't kiss your aunt yet?" ”

Dade was the first to pounce on Jingyi and shouted, "Ten aunts! ”

Daxian is young, his movements are slow, and he is still in a hurry, and when he saw Jingyi hugging Dade, he cried out even more, "Goo Gu Gu ......" couldn't call his aunt to come, but he didn't have time to hug him.

Jingyi laughed until she burst into tears, hugged her tightly one by one, and even Yue Ning came to kiss her.

"Okay children, let the tenth aunt sit down." Hui An came over and ripped her fat son away.

Jingyi was salivated by Daxian, and asked with a smile, "What about the boss?" Daren is not at home? ”

"My brother is out." Yue Ning hurriedly answered.

Jingyi took her hand and nodded with a smile.

If she remembers correctly, Yue Ning and Suixin are the same age and have similar birthdays...... She felt a pain in her heart, and hurriedly raised her eyes to look at Shen Hui'an, and said with a smile: "I'm sorry." It's a bit of a delay, and it's almost late. ”

Hui An beckoned her to take a seat, and seeing that her face was not good, she let people serve refreshments first.

Zhishen sat at a distance, and his two sons were being taken by his side, talking to him, but he was listening to his wife and sister chatting.

"It's not good these days, isn't it?" Hui An asked softly.

Jingyi took her coffee. There are large and small swirls in the coffee cup. She looked at it for a moment before realizing that it was her hands that were shaking a little. She put down the coffee cup and said, "I've been very busy these days, and there are always things inside and out." She knew that Hui An might have heard about what happened to her.

Sui Xin learned her identity from that day, and it was only the murder at that time. Later, after listening to Qiu Wei's words, after calming down, she never mentioned it, as if there was no such thing - but no matter who it was, she was even more worried about it from the bottom of her heart.

Suixin is a fierce child. Not crying or making trouble at this time is more unpredictable than crying.

Mrs. Tao not only scolded her, but even Tao Xiang together.

The more she thought about it, the more sad and worried she felt.

What's even more uncomfortable is that I don't know what to do to alleviate this dilemma......

"The total point of time. The worst part is over, isn't it? In the end, it is a mother and daughter. I like you so much that I will accept you. Hui An whispered.

"Aunt Shi, eat cake." Yue Ning cut the cake with her own hands.

Jingyi took it, smiled and nodded, "Thank you Yuening, it's so good." ”

"Ten aunts don't thank you." Yue Ning obediently distributed the cake to Hui An and Zhishen, and then to the two younger brothers. The one given to Dad was a big one, and Dad ate it all over his mouth, making the adults laugh.

"It's better to have more children, it's really lively." Jing Yi sighed. Hui An raised the children very well, and she felt relieved to see it. She pressed Hui An's arm and whispered, "Thank you for your hard work, Sister-in-law." ”

Hui An smiled at her, "That's all I can do." ”

"Madam, when is the meal?" The housekeeper came over and asked Hui An.

Hui An looked at Zhi Shen, Zhi Shen nodded, and she said, "A little later." ”

"Anything else?" Jingyi asked.
