The two hung up the phone without saying a few words, Gu Mian listened to the conversation between Ji Lingchuan and his mother the whole time, and couldn't help but imagine what kind of person Ji Lingchuan's mother was.

I heard that his mother is very beautiful, she used to be a teacher, teaching and educating people, is she gentle and demure? After learning that she had abandoned Ji Lingchuan, she really couldn't use these beautiful words on her.

After waiting for a few minutes, Ji Lingchuan received a message that it was the location of the restaurant sent by Ruan Peiqin.

Ji Lingchuan checked the specific location, it is a Western restaurant, the location is relatively hidden, it is open at the end of a street, today is a working day, and there will not be many people.

Gu Mian went back to the room to change into a floral skirt, and when she was tying her belt, Ji Lingchuan came over, took her hand, and tied a beautiful bow on her waist.

Ji Lingchuan was dressed very casually, with a T-shirt and trousers, and a beige fisherman's hat.

For the sake of insurance, Gu Mian drove the car, and Ji Lingchuan sat in the back seat, so the chance of being photographed on Gu Shang was small.

Forty minutes after arriving at the restaurant, the weather is very hot today, and as soon as you get off the bus, you can feel a heat wave hitting the door.

Ji Lingchuan lowered his head, wrapped his arms around Gu Mian's waist, and quickly walked into the elevator to the small private room booked upstairs.

Pushing open the door, what greeted him was a beautiful woman's face, Ji Lingchuan really looked like his mother, eyebrows, eyes, and even the dimples on the cheeks when he smiled.

The woman was wearing a dark green long skirt, her skin was snow-white, because she was well maintained, there were not many wrinkles on her face, and the emerald green jade earrings added a bit of dignified atmosphere to her.

Gu Mian couldn't help but guess that over the years, Ji Lingchuan's mother should have lived a good life.

Ruan Peiqin knew that it was Ji Lingchuan who came over when she heard the sound of the door opening, and stood up to greet her with a smile on her face, but she didn't expect to see a strange girl first.

Her smile froze on her face and looked at Ji Lingchuan behind Gu Mian: "Who is this?" ”

"My girlfriend, Gu Mian." Ji Lingchuan closed the door casually.

Gu Mian said politely: "Auntie is good." ”

Ruan Peiqin's expression suddenly became uncomfortable, she thought that only their mother and son were here today, and she didn't think that he would bring his girlfriend over.

Still, she smiled and said, "Hello." ”

Gu Mian was delicate, and she could naturally read from the subtle changes in the woman's expression that she did not welcome her arrival. She thought that she might have something to say to Ji Lingchuan alone.

Gu Mian was also a little awkward, raised his eyes to look at Ji Lingchuan, and he took her shoulder: "What are you still standing for, go over and sit." ”

The three of them sat down in turn, Ruan Peiqin looked at Ji Lingchuan's face, and unconsciously, there was water vapor in her eyes: "Ah Chuan, have you been doing well all these years?" Your dad he's ...... What do you think? ”

Ji Lingchuan picked up a cup, poured half a glass of water for Gu Mian, pushed it in front of her, and then looked at the woman opposite: "It's good." What about you? ”

"I ...... I ......" Ruan Peiqin suddenly paused, glanced at Gu Mian, wanted to say something, but couldn't say it, and changed the conversation, "Let's order, it's already noon, let's talk while eating." ”

Ji Lingchuan was as good as a stream, called the waiter, and ordered a few of Gu Mian's favorite meals, and the rest were all ordered by Ruan Peiqin, spaghetti with meat sauce, mashed potatoes with cheese, pan-fried foie gras, smoked salmon, milk corn soup, and a few exquisite desserts.

Gu Mian almost blurted out so much, the three of them couldn't finish eating, and after thinking about it, she chose to be silent, maybe she wanted to love her son.

After the dishes were served one by one, as expected, Ruan Peiqin used a fork to dial the salmon into Ji Lingchuan's bowl: "Taste it delicious or not." ”

Ji Lingchuan didn't move the fish on the plate, but picked up a fork and gave Gu Mian a ball of shrimp meat, dipped it in the sauce, and put it on her plate.

A whole lobster is placed on an oval porcelain plate, the back of the shrimp is cut in half, revealing the white and tender shrimp inside, and the secret sauce is in the small dish next to it.

Ruan Peiqin's gaze naturally fell on Gu Mian and asked, "You haven't been together for a long time, haven't you?" What does Miss Gu do? Is it also a star? I don't seem to have seen you on TV. ”

Ji Lingchuan replied on his behalf: "She is not a star. ”

Ruan Peiqin asked a few questions, but he only answered one, and his tone was lukewarm.

She let out a long sigh and said, "I came to Beijing two weeks ago, and I found your previous place of residence according to the address on the news, but I was told by the landlord that you had moved out. ”

Ji Lingchuan: "What are you looking for me to do?" ”

Ruan Peiqin was stunned for a moment, the expression on her face could no longer be maintained, full of helplessness: "Ah Chuan, are you still blaming me for leaving you in the first place?" ”

Ji Lingchuan was slammed, did she finally have to explain?

He pursed his lips and said in a deep voice, "Do you think I shouldn't blame you?" I thought that a family of three could live happily together, but you broke it with your own hands. ”

Gu Mian couldn't eat anymore, put down the knife and fork in his hand, put one hand under the table, took Ji Lingchuan's hand, and held it tightly.

She felt that Ji Lingchuan's fingers were a little harder, and he held her hand back.

Ji Lingchuan's words were so straightforward, and his eyes were so firm, he couldn't be ignored by Ruan Peiqin.

For a long time, just when Ji Lingchuan thought that she wouldn't say anything, Ruan Peiqin said weakly: "Ah Chuan, things are not what you think, your father and I have no relationship for a long time, we will not be happy if we barely live together, divorce is a matter of time, you were still young at that time, and you don't understand things between adults." ”

Ji Lingchuan nodded, the corners of his mouth twitched, as if he was amused by her words, but his smile was a little pale.

"When I was eight years old, there were a lot of things I didn't understand, but one thing I remember very clearly was that you started to change after your father's leg was disabled, and every time you lost your temper for no reason, and then ran out of the house. The day you left, the man who drove over to pick you up, do you dare to say that you found it after your divorce? ”

Ruan Peiqin tightened her skirt and endured it, but she still couldn't hold back her tears.

Ji Lingchuan looked at her steadily, his eyebrows furrowed imperceptibly: "Why don't you speak?" Didn't you say things weren't what I thought they were? I also hope things aren't what I thought they would. Before I came, I was thinking that you might have a hard time, but now it seems that I am thinking too much. ”

"Agawa"

Ruan Peiqin burst into a thick cry as soon as she spoke, and she covered her mouth with her hands to prevent herself from continuing.

Ji Lingchuan's fingertips curled up, and Gu Mian noticed it, she turned her head to look at him, he was such a gentle person, his biological mother was crying bitterly in front of him, it was impossible for him to be indifferent.

Sure enough, Ji Lingchuan watched quietly for a few seconds, took out a tissue from the carton next to him and handed it to her, opened his mouth, but failed to say words of comfort.

Ruan Peiqin took the tissue, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and choked up: "After I left, I thought about going back to see you, you are my son after all, how can I not miss you in my heart, it's just that I also have my difficulties, I"

Ji Lingchuan didn't want to know her difficulties, and interrupted her lightly: "Let's eat, I ordered so many things, if I don't eat, it will be wasted." ”

Ruan Peiqin swallowed back the words that were about to be exported, picked up the fork, rolled a few noodles and put them in her mouth, no matter how delicious the food was, it was the same as chewing wax for her at this moment.

Ji Lingchuan didn't look at the woman opposite, let go of Gu Mian's hand, helped her cut a steak, and whispered, "I see you didn't eat a few bites just now." ”

Not only Gu Mian, but Ji Lingchuan and Ruan Peiqin didn't eat much, the three of them were in different moods, but they didn't want to eat.

Gu Mian looked at the steak that was cut into small pieces on the plate in front of him, and didn't want to live up to Ji Lingchuan's kindness, so he picked up a fork and pricked a piece and put it in his mouth.

Although the location of this western restaurant is remote and not open in a commercial street, the food tastes delicious, the steak is fresh and tender, and it is served with a special black pepper sauce, which is very delicious.

She couldn't help but eat another piece, turned her head and cast a grateful look at Ji Lingchuan, Ji Lingchuan smiled slightly.

The eye contact between the two did not escape Ruan Peiqin's eyes, she wanted to ask something, after all, she had no right to ask Ji Lingchuan's love life. It's just that there are some words, she wants to talk to Ji Lingchuan alone, there are outsiders present, she is always embarrassed to speak, but she can't let this girl leave in front of Ji Lingchuan.

Moreover, it can be seen from Ji Lingchuan's every move that he is very attentive to this girlfriend.

Ruan Peiqin was entangled.

The atmosphere that followed was too quiet, even a little stiff.

Now, Ji Lingchuan also guessed that his mother, who hadn't seen him for many years, came to him, and it wouldn't just be to say these irrelevant things to him, but she didn't make it clear, and he didn't bother to take the initiative to ask.

Seeing that the meal was about to end, Ruan Peiqin's eyebrows added a trace of obvious sadness, and a little imperceptible anxiety.

Ji Lingchuan picked up the napkin and wiped the corners of his mouth, turned his head and asked Gu Mian: "Have you eaten well?" ”

Gu Mian said "um", she felt that if she ate in this atmosphere again, she would have indigestion.

Ruan Peiqin hurriedly put down the knife and fork, the metal handle smashed into the porcelain plate, making a crisp sound, she said hurriedly: "Why, no one has moved the dessert, I think this mango mille-feuille is delicious, Ah Chuan, do you want to taste it?" ”

Ji Lingchuan's face changed, and he watched as she pushed the mango mille-feuille in front of him.

The dessert is delicately made, with a layer of fluffy cakes, a thin layer of cream, the cream is covered with a full layer of diced mangoes, then the cream is spread, and another layer of cake is added, and more than a dozen layers are piled up.

Such a beautiful cake, Ji Lingchuan looked at it, revealing a sarcastic look.

His mother, even forgot that he was allergic to mangoes.

In Ji Lingchuan's impression, the first time he went to the hospital because of mango allergy, the woman in front of him took him there. At that time, my father's leg was not injured, and when he was working in someone else's house, the owner gave him a bag of mangoes, and he didn't want to eat any of them, so he took them back and left them for his wife and son. Ji Lingchuan was eating it for the first time, and he couldn't help but eat two, but his face and neck were covered with red rashes, which looked shocking. Nguyen Peiqin took him in her arms and took him to the town's hospital. Because Ji Maoliang had to go to work early the next morning, Ruan Peiqin asked him to go back, and she stayed behind to accompany Ji Lingchuan for infusion.

She barely closed her eyes all night, and she was relieved to see that his condition had improved.

Ji Lingchuan remembered this for a long, long time, when he was in elementary school, every time the language teacher asked everyone to write a work related to mother's love, he would always write about it.

Of course, that was before Ruan Peiqin left, and after she left, Ji Lingchuan never wanted to think about it again. Because every time I think about it, it reminds him that his mother, who was once so good to him, can turn around and abandon him. Since then, he has never eaten mangoes, not only because of allergies, but also because he remembers bad memories.

He couldn't help but think that Gu Mian originally liked to eat mangoes, this silly girl, since she learned that he was allergic to mangoes, she didn't eat them anymore.
