Chapter 197: The Past I Don't Want to Recall
Since Jiang Liuli decided to hold a birthday banquet for Lan Tingxuan, everyone in the mansion began to be restless, worrying about what kind of program to prepare.
Jiang Liuli herself, on the other hand, is painting leisurely, and for her, recording her daughter's bits and pieces every day is the most important thing.
"Miss, you're not going to prepare a show for your uncle." Seeing that she was so idle, Mingyue said dissatisfiedly that she was distressed because she didn't know what program to perform, but she didn't care, which made her feel unbalanced.
"I can sing, I can dance, will you?" Jiang Liuli continued to look at Lingxi and Wuwu not far away, and then continued to bow his head and paint.
"Miss, can you dance? How don't we know, will you dance this aunt's birthday? Mingyue looked at her in shock, they had never seen her dance in the years they had known her for so many years, let alone heard her mention it.
Jiang Liuli took a moment of the pen in her hand, and then continued to paint quietly, since she was a child, her mother often taught her to dance, and even sent her to a dance class to learn, even if she was poor at that time and didn't even have meat to eat, her mother still insisted on letting her study, not because of anything else, just to make up for the regrets she had missed.
Her mother is a professional dancer, if she hadn't been delayed by her father, she would have become famous, but unfortunately, at the peak of her career, she gave up her beloved dance career and chose to marry him, but the final result was that she lost her career and family. This made her heart collapse, but she had to face this cruel reality.
Later, although her mother thought about entering the dance world again, but she was not as good as before after giving birth to a child, even if she recovered well, some difficult movements still could not be done perfectly, so she could only choose to be a backup dancer, but the salary of the backup dancer was too little, in order to be able to support Jiang Liuli, she could only use the backup dance as a part-time job.
In order for her to live a privileged life, her mother had to work two jobs a day, even if one job could make them worry about food and clothing, she still wanted her to eat well, dress well, and even go to a prestigious school.
In addition to these, she also asked Jiang Liuli to learn dance, to learn music, calligraphy and painting, because she learned a lot and learned a lot, she had almost no time to play in her childhood, but despite this, she still studied very seriously every day, just to be able to make her mother happy.
"Miss, what's wrong with you?" Mingyue's voice interrupted her thoughts, and when she came back to her senses, she found that the painting on the table was stained with ink, and the painting was completely invalid.
"It's fine." She put down the pen, no longer had the mind to paint, and looked at Lingxi from a distance, as if she saw herself when she was a child, but she was much luckier than herself, with the love of her parents and the pampering of her grandmother, which she had never received in her life.
Mingyue saw that she looked preoccupied, so she could only step aside, but she was thinking in her heart, she didn't seem to have said anything wrong, why did she suddenly make her unhappy?
"I'm a little tired, let's go rest first, you can see the warmth and worry-free." Thinking of her deceased mother, Jiang Liuli's mood became very bad.
As soon as she finished speaking, she returned to her room, blocking all the negative emotions in the room, not letting anyone see it, not even the most intimate Mingyue Mingxia.
Mingyue looked at Jiang Liuli, who was in a bad mood, with a sad face, it had been a long time since she had seen her lonely face, and now that she saw it, she felt very unaccustomed.
In the time that followed, Jiang Liuli kept herself locked in her room, even if Lingxi came to find her, she would coax her to find Lan Mu.
Seeing this, Lan Mu naturally knew that she was in a bad mood, but she didn't know why, so she could only sigh helplessly, and when Lingxi wanted to go to her later, she was coaxed.
It wasn't until Lan Tingxuan came back that Mingyue Mingxia's worried heart relaxed, Jiang Liuli could be said to be like this often, and they were used to it at that time, but in the past two years, she had already come out of those cold and cold-hearted lives, and now when she saw it, she began to be a little worried.
"Uncle, you're finally back." When Mingyue saw Lan Tingxuan, it was as if she had seen a life-saving straw, and went straight to him.
"What's wrong?" As soon as Lan Tingxuan got off the carriage, he saw Mingyue Mingxia's worried face, and asked worriedly, is there an accident at home?
"At noon today, the young lady was painting in the pavilion, and she was in a good mood, but for some reason she got angry, and now she is in the room and doesn't want to come out." Mingyue said aggrievedly, she obviously didn't say the wrong thing, how could she have such a big reaction?
"I'll go see her." After hearing what she said, Lan Tingxuan also became worried, and walked quickly to the room.
When he opened the door and walked into the room, he saw her lying on the bed, and thought she was asleep, so he cautiously walked in and closed the door.
"You're back." Jiang Liuli, who was lying on the bed, suddenly spoke, obviously not seeing him, but he already knew that he was the person who entered the room.
"Hmm." Seeing that she hadn't slept at all, he answered, came to the bedside, and sighed helplessly when he saw her eyes closed, looking unwilling to open them.
"Mingyue said that you are in a bad mood today, I'll take a look." He reached out and brushed away the strands of hair that had scattered across her face, naturally and gently.
Jiang Liuli opened his eyes and looked at him, seeing his eyes full of worry, his cold heart slowly became warm, as long as he saw him, even if he didn't do anything, his restless heart would be calmed.
Sitting up from the bed, Lan Tingxuan naturally sat on the edge of the bed, she was close to his arms, and he naturally reached out to hug her, and it looked as if they were often so appropriate.
"What's going on? Can you tell me about it? Seeing that she didn't speak, Lan Tingxuan asked curiously, not knowing what could make her so upset.
"It's nothing, I just thought of my mother." She said faintly, this is the most secret thing in her heart, even if it is her stepmother, she has never said it to her, but in the face of him, it seems that she can say anything without hindrance.
Jiang Liuli once told him about her parents, and after knowing the reason for her bad mood, she didn't know how to comfort her, so she could only hug her silently and give her silent warmth and love.
Although Lan Tingxuan didn't say anything, his embrace had already warmed her cold heart and pulled her out of her negative emotions, which was his influence on himself and his importance to himself.
"I'm fine, don't worry." After a long while, she completely let go of this matter in her heart and said lightly.
"I'm not at ease, I can't rest assured about you." Lan Tingxuan sighed helplessly, and at the same time annoyed that her mouth was stupid, if she had a clever mouth, would she be able to make her happy?
"Fool, I don't have any troubles with you." She smiled at him, and the smile proved that her mood had really improved.
"Ruri, I hope you can be happy for the rest of your life, I don't like to see you just now." He hugged her tightly, and she was so fragile just now that it made his heart ache.
"It depends on your performance, if you don't behave well and make me angry, how can I be happy." She raised her eyebrows to tease him, whether she admitted it or not, deep down she still became a lot more cheerful because of him, and having him make her feel at ease and happy, even if it wasn't a happy thing.
"You." Because of her words, Lan Tingxuan was completely relieved, since he could make her forget her sorrows and sadness, then he would behave well, so that she would never think of those unhappy things.
"Let's go out, don't let the family worry." After she was in a completely good mood, she looked at the sky outside, the sun had already set, and it was not far from dinner time.
"At this time, I remembered that my family would be worried, when I first came back, Mingyue was so anxious that she was about to come to take the blame." Lan Tingxuan joked with a smile, seeing Mingyue's grievances just now, but thinking about whether to apologize, he felt that she was very pitiful.
"Really? Then let her take the blame. Jiang Liuli said jokingly.
"She still doesn't know what she did wrong, and if you ask her to apologize to you, she will probably blame you." Seeing her like this, Lan Tingxuan shook his head helplessly, and his mood was just a little better, so he began to joke that Mingyue was here, and it seemed that there was really no need to worry.
"Really? Then I'll have to tease her. She gloated and said that such a good opportunity could not be missed.
Lan Tingxuan saw that she was going to tease Mingyue again, and shook her head helplessly, she was a mother, why was she still so naïve? However, he didn't dare to say this, so he could only complain in his heart.
Everyone was relieved to see Jiang Liuli finally walk out of the room, Mingyue looked at her with a look of grievance, but when she saw her with a cold face, she changed to an expression of obediently admitting punishment, such a change made Lan Tingxuan couldn't help laughing.
Jiang Liuli squinted at him, he quickly stopped laughing, coughed a few times, and came to the pavilion pretending to be calm, afraid that he couldn't help laughing out loud when he stayed with them, the way they got along was so interesting.
When he came to the pavilion, he saw Jiang Liuli's half-painted paintings, her painting was a little immature, and she couldn't compare with him at all, but she liked her paintings very much, especially the portraits she painted for herself, which contained all her thoughts about him.
Looking at the place that was smeared with ink, I thought about it for a while, picked up the pen and made up for it a few times, and it became a small rockery, and below the rockery was a small pond with a lot of fish in the pool.
Lingxi, Wuwu and Lan Mu, who had already been painted, became the scene of standing by the pond and watching the fish, and with a few random strokes, it was very apt to connect with the portrait that Jiang Liuli had just painted, and it was completely impossible to see that this was a discarded portrait.
"Miss, how can you tease me like that." Mingyue suddenly screamed irritably, he looked up and saw Jiang Liuli looking at Mingyue with a smile on her face, even with a smile in her eyes.
With a thought in his mind, he drew seriously on the drawing paper, and soon, the beautiful and moving Jiang Liuli with a smile on his face remained on the portrait forever.
After finishing the painting, he looked at the portrait on the table, and smiled with satisfaction, there are wives, daughters, mothers, and all the people he loves the most are on it, and everyone is so happy, how can he not be satisfied?
