Chapter 70: Defeated by the Child
Back in the bedroom, Xu Xiangsi tiptoed to bed, lifted the quilt and saw her daughter's sweet sleeping face, and felt a little relieved in her heart.
Even if she can't get Leng Mo, she can continue to love him, not to mention that she should have cut off those unrealistic ideas a long time ago.
Despite trying her best to comfort herself, Xu Xiangsi's tears still fell one by one, thinking of the man's casual words tonight, which were actually extremely cruel to her, and finally accepted her fate.
"Mommy, are you crying?" Suddenly, the voice of the daughter in her arms sounded softly.
Xu Xiangsi was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly wiped away her tears, and tried to show a smile in the dark, "Wake up Yuanyuan?" β
Little Lori looked up at her little face and reached out to wipe away her mother's tears, "Mommy, don't be sad, Yuanyuan will blow it for you." β
Her daughter's sensible tone and immature behavior finally made Xu Xiangsi burst into tears and laughed, and also made her feel a little more relieved.
"Yuanyuan is so good, Mommy is not sad, it's really good."
However, the little girl still looked uneasy, and Xu Xiangsi had no choice but to change the topic, "Yuanyuan, do you like Uncle Leng very much?" β
When it came to Leng Mo, her daughter was really interested, "Yes, doesn't Mommy like him?" β
Xu Xiangsi blackened his face: Although your mother likes it, it's a pity that people don't care about it!
"Why like him?" Xu Xiangsi threw out such a sentence stiffly.
Yuanyuan suddenly looked very aggrieved, "But the person I like, I hope Mommy likes it too"
The child's innocent appearance made Xu Xiangsi's heart warm, but she still had to tease the little guy.
"Oh-you say that, isn't Uncle Ji very sad? Last time, you said you liked him. β
Yuanyuan looked confused, "Why can't you like two people?" Can you only like one person? β
"Xu Xiangsi was defeated by the child.
The mother and daughter chattered for a long time, Xu Yuanyuan finally fell asleep again, Xu Xiangsi breathed a sigh of relief, twisted the quilt for the child, and finally made up her mind in her heart-
Instead of wavering and still having a trace of expectation for Leng Mo, it is better to have hope for Ji Weiyang, at least people really like her. It is said that "if you don't forget, there will be an echo", she has been working hard for so long, and now it is better to give up completely, otherwise indecisiveness will only bring harm to the child.
Early the next morning, little Lori, who is used to sleeping lazily, got up early today and was bouncing around in the living room to play with Leng's mother.
"Grandma, do you think my house looks good?"
When Xu Xiangsi came out of washing, he saw that his daughter was pouting and asking Leng's mother, and there was a stack of building blocks in front of her, and Leng's mother replied with a loving smile: "Of course it looks good, we are so ingenious." β
The little girl smiled sweetly.
"Sisi, get up? Did you sleep well last night? When Leng Mu saw her, she asked with concern.
Xu Xiangsi smiled shallowly: "Very good." Auntie, I really bothered you last night, so I'll move out with Yuanyuan today. β
Leng Mu was stunned: "What's wrong?" Are you not used to living or do you feel uncomfortable here? Your uncle and I won't be living here today, so you might as well stay. β
Listening to Leng's mother's series of words, Xu Xiangsi almost had a wavering determination, but thinking about Leng Mo's attitude last night, she instantly strengthened her position.
"No, it's always inconvenient to live here, and Weiyang will prepare a place for me to live, aunt, don't worry, I'll take care of Yuanyuan and myself."
The girl's words were seamless, Leng's mother had already understood her intentions, and what stronger reason could there be than moving out of her fiancΓ©? After all, people will eventually become the Ji family, and the Leng family should let go of the restraint on her from now on.
However, before Leng Mu could say a word of agreement, Leng Mo's voice came from behind her.
"I said that it's not too late to go to his side when the Ji family has dealt with it."
Xu Xiangsi looked back in surprise.
What's the matter, Leng Mo didn't go to work today? She thought that the other party was going out, so she deliberately spoke to Leng's mother, after all, it was easier to communicate from the elders.
"I think it's still inconvenient to live here, after all, you and Miss Li are about to get married, and I'm an outsider, so"
I don't know which sentence poked the man's displeasure, and Leng Mo interrupted her coldly: "Who said you were an outsider?" β
Xu Xiangsi's voice stopped abruptly.
"Even if you marry the Ji family, you won't be an outsider, and you've lived here for so many years, and suddenly it's inconvenient?"
The man's aggressive inquiry made Xu Xiangsi bow his head weakly.
She was indeed very weak-hearted.
From the beginning when Leng Mu suddenly said that she looked very similar to Leng Mo, she was nervous until now.
There is no way to deceive people, the daughter looks like her now, so she can still cover it up, but if she is a little older, when the outline is more mature, won't everyone be able to see the similarity between this child and Leng Mo?
Because of this, she had to quickly take the child away from the sight of the Leng family and minimize contact, so as not to make Leng Mo suspicious one day.
However, now, looking at the man's attitude, it is impossible to move out at present, so he can only pray that Ji Weiyang will quickly persuade his mother to take them over as soon as possible.
"Alright then, we'll keep bothering here for a few more days." Xu Xiangsi had no choice but to give himself a step down.
In the face of Leng Mo's eyes, she was always uncomfortable, but she had to pretend to be calm, but fortunately, at this moment, she remembered the agreed meeting with Wen Xuan, and finally found a reason to leave.
"Auntie, Mr. Leng, I still have an appointment with my friend, so I'll go out first."
Mother Leng naturally wouldn't keep her, and let her leave after telling her twice, while Leng Mo looked at her back as she left, as if she was pondering something.
"Alas, why did you say you wanted to send Sisi abroad in the first place? Well, now that she's at odds with us after all. Leng's mother sighed faintly and felt sorry for her son.
Leng Mo said: "Even if you don't send her abroad, she will marry in the end, and it is only a matter of time before she is unfamiliar." β
"Okay, let's take it as a fact that can't be changed, so can you explain why you have to send her away? If you let her go to study so far away abroad, and there is no one to accompany her, it is no wonder that she will bring a child back today. β
Although she likes Yuanyuan very much, Leng Mu couldn't ignore Xu Xiangsi's suffering outside, and was ignored by Leng Mo several times, so she still took it out and asked this time.
Leng Mo did not deliberately change the topic like the previous times, but turned his head to look at his mother.
"Are you sure you want to know?"
Leng Mu frowned, "Of course, it won't be you who forcibly let Sisi go abroad, right?" β
"She said she liked me."
Leng's mother was stunned by her son's unpreparedness, "What? β
Leng Mo's face was flat and straightforward as usual: "She kept saying that she liked me, so much so that she did some impulsive things. You also know that she was too young to distinguish the level of affection, so she would have some attachments, and she couldn't continue to develop like that. β
Leng Mu's eyes widened in shock, and her heart was indescribably shocked.
It turned out that there was this layer of hidden feelings in it, no wonder the son who had always been measured would not ask the two of them back then, and directly came to a "cut first and then play", when they heard that Xu Xiangsi was sent abroad, but they were very angry.
"I see" Leng Mu nodded slowly, frowned, and asked uneasily: "Then now, she should have no feelings for you." β
"If you still have unrealistic thoughts about me, you won't be so infatuated that you hide my children's affairs abroad." Leng Mo rubbed her eyebrows, "She is dead set on that Ji Weiyang now, but I have investigated, their intersection abroad is not diligent, and even Ji Weiyang is chasing her." β
Leng's mother stood up suddenly, "If it was really forced by the Ji family's boy, our Leng family would not let him go!" β
In terms of protecting the short, Leng's mother is the first qualified candidate for the Leng family.
"Also, what do you mean by 'unrealistic' thoughts? Why is Sisi not worthy of you? As soon as the conversation changed, Leng Muwu began to discipline her son again.
How strange is this sound, Leng Mo raised his eyebrows: "Then what do you mean, do you want her to continue to have feelings for me?" β
"I didn't mean that, but you can't say that Sisi, she's such a good child, who is not more than enough? Don't say anything about her in that tone! β
For his mother's brainless maintenance of Xu Xiangsi, Leng Mo didn't take it to heart, just casually perfunctory a few words to Leng Mu, and went to the company.
At the same time, on a seat somewhere in KFC, Xu Xiangsi and his friend Wenxuan finally met above.
"Sisi! You're going to kill me! How's it going, are you doing well abroad? Did you miss me?! β
The barrage of questions made Xu Xiangsi not know which one to answer.
I haven't seen friends for many years, and there is not much strangeness between the two, because in the past three years, Xu Xiangsi and Wenxuan have maintained correspondence.
"Eh, who is this kid?" The moment he saw Little Lori, Wen Xuan hesitated and blurted out, "This can't be Leng Mo's child, right?" β
She just teased casually, because the little girl looked quite like Leng Mo at first glance, but Xu Xiangsi's answer in the next second shocked her.
"Yes."
"What the hell? You've all gotten to the point of having a baby?! Wen Xuan was dumbfounded, "Aren't you one abroad and the other at home?" How, how"
"Poof, you want to stubble." Xu Xiangsi held his forehead, and then said to his daughter, "Yuanyuan, do you want to play the slide?" β
"Wow!" Xu Yuanyuan couldn't sit still, and when he heard this, he hurriedly followed the waiter to the children's playground outside.
