Chapter 249: Leaving in tears
"Don't talk nonsense!" Xu Xiangsi lowered her little face, and when she saw that the girl was a little dazed, she didn't know what to say for a while.
She took a deep breath and held her breath, "In short, heaven is a place that only good people like your grandfather can go, and we can't go there." β
"Is that so?" Yuan Yuan was a little frustrated, "Then can I see my grandfather again?" When will he come back? β
"Your grandfather, he'...... I'm afraid I won't come back. It's beautiful there, and life there is far happier than here, aren't you happy for grandpa? β
"yes, I'm supposed to be happy for my grandfather."
Explaining these sentences has consumed too much energy from Xu Xiangsi. But fortunately, the child is still young, not only does she not understand what death means, but she doesn't seem to care too much about parting.
That's fine. Ignorant, naΓ―ve and romantic, it's not a bad thing.
After putting her daughter down, Xu Xiangsi returned to the bedroom where she used to live and began to quickly pack up her things.
She has lived here for so long, and Leng Mo has always treated her well, there are almost as many clothes in the hanger as in the mall, and the shoes on the shoe rack are full of luxury brands.
Xu Xiangsi simply packed a few things, and there was a lot of leftovers that he couldn't take away at all.
She called a servant.
"Please pack up my clothes and shoes and donate them."
The servant was almost dumbfounded, staring at the dazzling laundry, and asked in disbelief, "All...... Do you want to donate it? β
"Yes, as soon as possible, do it now."
"Yes."
She rubbed her sore brows, looked around, and there seemed to be nothing left behind, and was about to go out with her luggage, when she looked at a picture frame on the shelf.
It was when she was 12 years old that Leng Mo took her to the ranch to shoot.
In the picture, there is a tall white horse, and she is riding on horseback.
At that time, she had a beautiful face and a little childishness, wearing a knight's uniform, a small helmet, and a small whip in her hand, looking very majestic.
And behind her, Leng Mo rode with her. In the warm sunlight, the man's brows rarely stretched, and one hand wrapped around her waist, but he didn't touch it, just protected it at any time.
That day was the happiest day she had in years since she lost her parents.
Xu Xiangsi took the photo frame, caressed the picture with his fingertips, and somehow, a sad feeling came up.
She handed the frame to the maid and "took it out and threw it away." β
"Yes."
The maid took it, and just took two steps, Xu Xiangsi hurriedly stopped her.
"You wait!"
The servant turned around suspiciously, only to see Xu Xiangsi step forward quickly and take the photo frame back.
"That...... Don't throw it away, I'm going to take it away. β
She suddenly felt ridiculous.
It's all come to this point, and you still have this picture, what are you looking forward to? Obviously, looking at it will arouse heavy and sad emotions in people, and it should not be kept.
But she still wanted to stay.
She carried her luggage and walked down the stairs with difficulty, and was about to go out when Yuanyuan ran over.
"Mom, where are you going?"
Xu Xiangsi touched her daughter's little face, paused, and said sadly, "Mom is leaving, because Mom has to work, you are alone at home, you have to listen to Dad, you know?" β
"You haven't come to see me for a long time, and you're only coming back, are you going to leave again?"
Yuanyuan seemed to be a little aggrieved, and a mist surged in his deer-like eyes, watery, and very distressing to watch.
Xu Xiangsi was reluctant in her heart, but she was ruthless after all, "Good baby, mom won't come back, I will come to see you again in two days." β
"I don't!" Yuanyuan had a little emotion, "Mom, why do you always have to leave?" Isn't it good to stay with Yuanyuan all the time like before? Or is it ...... Mom, you don't love me anymore? β
"I ......"
Xu Xiangsi was speechless for a moment, and Yuanyuan also grabbed the corner of her clothes, it seemed that he didn't want to let her go at all.
The clock on the wall is ringing.
Xu Xiangsi glanced at it, it was already this time, and she couldn't help but think of the last sentence that the man left her at the end.
"Before I go home, pack up all the things you left at your house, I don't want to see you again."
If she doesn't leave now, the man will come back in a while, and she should bump into her!
"Yuanyuan is good, mom really has to go."
"I don't care, I won't let my mother go!"
Xu Xiangsi was already anxious, but this girl tugged at the corner of her clothes, refused to give up, and even began to cry, which made her extremely irritable.
"Don't cry!"
She frowned, and instantly raised her tone, this sound, but the girl was shocked, and then choked up, looking at her with teary eyes.
She didn't cry anymore, but this aggrieved look made Xu Xiangsi a little unbearable.
Just when she didn't know what to do, the sound of a car engine sounded outside the door.
It's Cold Ink, Cold Ink is back!!
When she realized this, and was even a little panicked, Leng Mo had already entered the house.
He put away his umbrella and looked around the hall when he saw her, his brow furrowed fiercely.
It's this gaze again, an unabashed, disgusted gaze.
Xu Xiangsi felt very uncomfortable, and even wanted to explain it to him, but before she could open her mouth, she swallowed it.
Having said that, what's the use?
He won't believe anything he says, it's just another humiliation on himself.
She said gloomily, "I'll leave right away." β
As soon as her voice fell, a delicate shadow flashed beside the man, it was actually Yalan, she came back with Leng Mo.
Yalan saw Xu Xiangsi, and saw that she was still carrying luggage, so she couldn't help but ask curiously, "Miss Xu, it's getting late, do you want to go back?" β
"yes, it's time for me to go. Uncle housekeeper, please take this girl down. β
"Yes."
The old housekeeper had sadness in his eyes, and stepped forward to pick up the girl, but she pulled Xu Xiangsi's clothes and didn't let go.
"I don't, I don't want my mother to go, I want my mother to accompany me!"
"Little Miss, don't be willful anymore." The old butler walked away with the girl in his arms.
The man glanced at Xu Xiangsi lightly, then retracted his gaze coldly, and slowly walked into the hall.
From beginning to end, he didn't say a word, and the right to Xu Xiangsi did not exist.
Arran is a smart woman, and she naturally noticed this strange atmosphere, so she made a smart decision.
"Mr. Leng, I think, I won't have dinner here, I'll go first."
However, Leng Mo retained, "It's getting late, it's not safe to drive on the road, you might as well stay and rest tonight." β
After saying that, he ordered the servants beside him to "go up and prepare a room for Miss Arlan." β
Arlan was a little surprised. She didn't expect Leng Mo to take the initiative to keep her at home for the night, which made her feel happy at the same time as she was surprised.
"That'...... Just bother. β
Xu Xiangsi looked at all this, feeling a little uncomfortable, and couldn't stay here, because the atmosphere made her almost out of breath.
Picking up his luggage and about to walk out, the old butler who had calmed Yuan Yuan came over.
"Miss, I'll send you back."
As soon as he finished speaking, the man on the stairs turned his cold eyes.
"Butler, are you all right?"
The old housekeeper hesitated for a moment, and couldn't help but say, "It's dark outside, it's too unsafe for a girl, I'm still ......"
"I'm afraid you're worrying too much, the security in this coastal city is not as bad as you think."
Although he didn't say it too bluntly, this sentence already showed his attitude.
The old butler was in a dilemma.
He couldn't be disobedient to Leng Mo, but he didn't worry about Xu Xiangsi going alone, so he could only secretly read a sentence in his heart: How did things become like this?
Xu Xiangsi smiled bitterly, and felt very uncomfortable.
Fang Cai Yalan also said that she wanted to leave, but the man said that it was not safe outside, and kept her to stay overnight, but when she came here, this man said something else.
Also, this man hates her like now, even hats her deeply, how can he care about her safety?
"Uncle housekeeper, don't worry about me, I'll drive myself."
"That'...... Miss, be careful all the way, take care. β
Xu Xiangsi didn't say much, just waved his hand to the old housekeeper, carried his luggage, and disappeared into the garden shrouded in night.
As she walked, she couldn't help but glance back at the brightly lit mansion, and the moment she retracted her gaze, tears fell uncontrollably.
It's okay, it's not a big deal, it's not like the sky is falling, why bother to shed tears for this man? If he has half of the trust in you, he won't believe Chen Chunhua's nonsense!
Xu Xiangsi sniffed and comforted himself like this.
