Chapter 180: Determination
Ye Shaochen steadily caught the pillow that flew over, turned his head and glanced at Jiang Xuemei coldly. Although it was only for a moment, Jiang Xuemei was still frightened by Ye Shaochen's eyes just now.
Jiang Xuemei subconsciously shuddered, and when she looked at it again, Ye Shaochen had already restrained the coldness just now, and her gaze at her had become faint, as if she had seen it wrong just now.
However, even so, it still left a lot of shock in Jiang Xuemei's heart. She looked at Ye Shaochen with palpitations, and subconsciously swallowed her saliva.
The arrogance has subsided a lot, but the words he said are still unpleasant: "I should have followed your father when he left, and now I don't have to be treated like this." Thanks to your dad dying early, otherwise you would have been angry to death! ”
These words were even more hurtful than just now, if those words just now were like the pain of being whipped to Ji Ning, then now, these words were tantamount to a dagger stained with poison stuck in her heart.
And it's not just one knife, it's countless knives, and the knife is deadly.
The father who passed away was Ji Ning's taboo, and it was also the biggest wound in her heart.
Now that this wound has been torn open by Jiang Xuemei again, Ji Ning is out of breath in pain, and there is no reason left. She stood up with a "boom", staring at Jiang Xuemei with red eyes.
"Take back your eyes, do you look at your mother like this? Do you wish I was dead? Jiang Xuemei was frightened by Ji Ning's gaze, so she had to bite the bullet and say viciously.
Ji Ning's hanging hands were clenched into fists tightly, and the nails were almost embedded in the flesh of his palms. But she didn't feel any pain, she only knew that she was angry now, but she couldn't do anything about it.
The person sitting across from her was her real mother, what could she do? Do you really want to curse her to death as Jiang Xuemei said? No matter how angry she is, Ji Ning can't do it.
Her eyes were red, a bit like a forbearant beast. After a while, the teeth that were clenched together loosened, and her lips moved, and she said, "That's all I can do, and if you're not satisfied, go tell my dad." ”
After speaking, Ji Ning felt that all the strength in her body had been drained. Fortunately, Ye Shaochen was next to her, and he protected her with one hand because he was afraid that Jiang Xuemei would throw things again.
So when the soles of Ji Ning's feet were slightly soft and fell to the side, Ye Shaochen stabilized her figure in time.
Ji Ning also had no other way, she didn't want to say such heavy words, but she was so angry that Jiang Xuemei had nothing to say.
Jiang Xuemei choked when she heard this, she didn't expect Ji Ning to say such a thing suddenly, and she didn't know how to refute it for a while, so she could only look at Ji Ning in a daze.
In the past, Ji Ning would do whatever she asked her to do, and she was very obedient, so Jiang Xuemei would be so demanding, and almost took everything Ji Ning did as a matter of course, so naturally she didn't feel guilty.
Even sometimes, she didn't take into account Ji Ning's wishes at all, and only thought about whether she was happy or not, so she forced Ji Ning to do something she didn't like.
It's like forcing Ji Ning to get married, no matter whether Ji Ning has someone she likes or not, or whether she has any plans in this regard, she just thinks that Ji Ning is old and it's time to get married, so she keeps urging Ji Ning to get married, and threatens Ji Ning with her illness.
Later, Ji Ning got married, and married into the famous Ye family, and her status has improved by more than one grade.
Jiang Xuemei felt that all this was her credit, if it weren't for her urging, would Ji Ning be able to marry such a good man?
Because of this, Jiang Xuemei felt that everything had to be done according to her wishes, because her idea was the most correct. It is also because of this that she thinks that it is natural for Ji Ning to help her family pay more.
Such an idea has always been in Jiang Xuemei's heart, and it has been put into practice.
Until this time, Ji Ning suddenly resisted, and Jiang Xuemei didn't know how to adapt.
"I'm not a money-making tool for my family, nor am I a cash cow. The money I earned was all my hard-earned money, not from a tree. Ji Ning took a deep breath and said to Jiang Xuemei word by word.
Xu is words were opened, and his heart was not so panicked, and Ji Ning's words became faster and clearer.
She said: "I have done everything I should have done all these years, even if I don't care about you now, my father will not blame me in the spirit of heaven, but I still bear the burden of the family." But what about you, you don't know the situation at home at all, and you are arrogant and arrogant! ”
"She's a sister!" Jiang Xuemei retorted.
"But she's an adult now!" Ji Ning interrupted Jiang Xuemei's words suddenly, tears swirled in her eyes, and she endured it stiffly. "She should face her own affairs, otherwise how can she gain a foothold in this society?"
Although he was holding back his tears, Ji Ning's words were sonorous and powerful. I said everything I hadn't said before, and I was very happy.
After a pause, Ji Ning's fist finally loosened a little, and met Jiang Xuemei's panicked eyes, Ji Ning's lips moved, and subconsciously asked Jiang Xuemei: "Do you know what the consequences are when you spoil her like this and get used to her?" ”
"What...... What the? Jiang Xuemei didn't expect that she would follow Ji Ning's words. After reacting, Jiang Xuemei snorted coldly: "Will she learn badly?" ”
In her eyes, Ji Meng is an innocent and lovely little girl who will not learn badly.
Ji Ning's eyes flickered, and she took a deep breath and said, "She won't learn badly, but there will be bad people staring at her, and she will be deceived, do you know?" ”
Jiang Xuemei's mouth moved, and finally she didn't say anything, because she didn't know what to say.
After a while, Ji Ning picked up the pillow on the ground and put it on the bed. The voice said calmly: "I'll go and make up the hospitalization fee, and you can rest by yourself." ”
After speaking, she went out without looking back, and Ye Shaochen followed behind. The room fell silent again.
Jiang Xuemei stared straight at the pillow, there was still a little dust on it, which should have been stuck when it fell to the ground just now. The dust made Jiang Xuemei think of a metaphor.
People are born as a blank sheet of paper, and everything that happens in life later is a touch of color, and finally converges into a colorful life.
But these colors are not the only ones you can paint. It's like the dust, which may have been smeared by others, so it became a stain on life.
I don't know why, Jiang Xuemei's heart panicked for no reason. She thought about it and quickly took out the phone to call Ji Meng.
The phone rang for a long time before it was connected, and Ji Meng's background was messy, Jiang Xuemei could vaguely hear a man's rough voice shouting: "Next, next, hurry up, we're in a hurry!" ”
The voice didn't look like it was at school. And she remembered that Ji Ning said that what international exchange meeting Ji Meng was participating in recently, everyone spoke in a foreign language. Not to mention the language problem, it is just shouting loudly in front of so many people, and the school should not allow it.
Thinking like this, Jiang Xuemei's inner feeling became stronger and stronger.
"Moe." She shouted, in a more peaceful tone.
At this time, Ji Meng was participating in the physical examination, and it was not her turn yet, but she had been discussing with Li Lan just now about giving the staff a tip. It's not just the two of them who have this idea, from just now to now, Ji Meng has seen several people sneaking in.
They were about to go over when Jiang Xuemei's call came in. Ji Meng's tone was not very good: "Mom, why are you calling me at this time, I'm busy." She said as she followed Li Lan, very anxious.
Jiang Xuemei was stunned for a moment and said, "I miss you." "She just had surgery, and now she has a little strength to make a call, and she has been lying in bed before today, and she can't find Ji Meng.
"If you want me to look at my photos, what are you doing on the phone, but you can't see me." Ji Meng saw that Li Lan was stepping up, and he was about to be unable to keep up, and his tone became hurried. I was thinking, why did her mother call at this time, what if her own affairs were delayed?
Li Lan, who was walking in front, glanced back at Ji Meng, but did not mean to wait for her, but sped up her pace. Ji Meng was shocked, and only then did she realize that she and Li Lan were also in a competitive relationship.
For Li Lan, it is one to be able to defeat one, so Ji Meng is not her friend.
Without waiting for Jiang Xuemei to say anything, Ji Meng hurriedly hung up the phone. She strode to catch up with Li Lan, and she secretly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.
Listening to the busy sound of "doodoo" coming from the phone, Jiang Xuemei's whole person froze, as if she didn't believe that she was hung up by Ji Meng like this. She didn't give up and called back, but unfortunately she was rejected.
After calling several times in a row, Ji Meng never answered the phone again, and Jiang Xuemei's heart sank to a low point.
On the other side, Ji Meng finally caught up with Li Lan, and the two knocked on the staff's door together, and found that there were three or four red envelopes on the desk, each of which looked very large.
Ji Meng swallowed her saliva and secretly pulled the corner of Li Lan's clothes. She felt that the money she had prepared didn't seem to be enough, and if she couldn't compare to those people, she would definitely be brushed off.
Looking at Li Lan's eyes, they all seemed to be aware of this problem, the two glanced at each other, and hurriedly retreated again.
The two leaned against the door, glanced at each other, and then took out their wallets in unison, and each added a lot of money to their red envelopes. Only then did he reopen the door and walk in, put the bag in front of the table, and reported his name.
After coming out, both were relieved. Li Lan patted Ji Meng on the shoulder: "Don't worry, it's definitely okay this time." ”
