"Young Master Venucia."

"Well, put all this in my study! Hasn't the old man come back yet? Yang Qichen handed over the coat and briefcase in his hand to the butler, looked at the empty hall, and asked the calm old man sideways

"Not yet! It is said that he is going to receive a foreign businessman, so he will not come back for dinner. ”

"I see."

"Young Master Venucia, what do you think you have for dinner?"

"No need, I haven't seen Mommy for so long, I heard that she hasn't been in good health recently, I'll go directly to her at night!"

"It's okay, then I'll have someone make you a pot of Pu'er!"

"Hmm."

After receiving the answer, the housekeeper carried Yang Qichen's things and was about to retreat, but suddenly remembered something, looked at Yang Qichen, pushed his glasses, and continued to speak.

"Young Master Venucia, the plum blossom branch in the courtyard is not in good condition this year, it is very dry, I have found a gardening master and has been diagnosed and treated for a while, but the gardening master said that the nutrient deficiency effect is not obvious, do you want to find another one?"

"Can the gardener be saved?"

"It's a little difficult."

"This plum blossom is sick just like people are sick, usually I am negligent. Let the gardening master think of a rescue, it has been in the Yang Mansion for many years, and there is always a feeling. ”

"If you can't save ...... alive"

"Then leave the flower beds empty."

"I see."

Silently exiting the main hall and walking down the long corridor, the butler sighed slightly.

Obsession, obsession.

He has served the Yang family for almost three generations, but all of them can't get rid of their deep obsessions.

……

At 8 o'clock in the evening, Jiang Yi cleaned up the restaurant early, looking like he was going to close.

Xu Anran still had a handful of coriander in his hand, looked at Jiang Yi's movements, was a little puzzled, took a towel to wipe his hands, and walked out of the kitchen.

"Why did you clean it up so early?"

"Go back early! I think you're tired today. ”

"No, I'm tired, and there aren't many guests today." Xu Anran smiled and hung up the towel again.

"Enron, are you really okay?"

"Huh? What do you mean? ”

"It's a place to hang aprons, not towels."

"Huh? Yes, yes! Hahaha, look at me, I'm stupid for a day. Xu Anran raised his head in astonishment, and sure enough, the towel in his hand was hung in the wrong place, and he smiled awkwardly before taking off the towel and putting it back in the correct position.

"Didn't you even notice it yourself?"

"Found what?"

Jiang Yi looked at the person with a blank face, secretly sighed in his heart, stepped forward, walked around behind Xu Anran, and personally took off his apron for her.

"You, as long as you encounter something about Yang Qichen, you are always absent-minded."

"I didn't."

"Don't fool yourself."

"I, I, let's go back, you're right, I, I'm a little tired." Obviously, he didn't want to continue the topic just now, Xu Anran took Jiang Yi's arm, with a smile on his face, and said with wide eyes.

"Well, let's go back."

Touching Xu Anran's head, Jiang Yi was no longer embarrassed.

As usual, the two of them went home together and brought some extra ingredients for cooking.

"I'll go park, you go in first, it's cold outside."

"Okay, you can come back quickly."

Xu Anran carried the ingredients, got out of the car first, and walked to the door of the house.

The lights in the house were bright, and when he took out the key from his bag, Xu Anran opened the door.

"Mommy, I'm back with Jiang Yi—"

At the entrance, Xu Anran changed his slippers and shouted inside.

But no one responded.

"Isn't it at home? Didn't you hear that? ”

Talking to himself, he walked in with the ingredients.

The person sitting at the table continued to stiffen as Xu Anran kept approaching.

put down the dishes and chopsticks in his hand, stood up, and before he could turn back, he heard Xu Anran's voice again.

"That...... Who are you? ”

Looking at the back of the completely strange man in front of him, he was thin and white, and Xu Anran looked dazed.

The man's shoulders trembled slightly, and he slowly turned around.

"Is that you?" Xu Anran exclaimed in disbelief, and the plastic bag containing the ingredients on his mobile phone also fell to the ground.

"Yes...... I ......"

"What are you doing here? Who let you in? Hurry up, I don't want to see you!! ”

"Ranran, you listen to what Dad said......" The man at the table walked over in a panic, his eyes were moist, his face was vicissitudes, and he reached out to touch Xu Anran's shoulder.

"Don't touch my !!" Dodging Xu Jianzhong's touch, Xu Anran roared uncontrollably, the sound was so loud that Jiang Yi, who had not had time to walk to the door, was startled.

Jiang Yi hurriedly opened the door and ran into the house.

"What's wrong? Enron, what's going on? Without looking around, Jiang Yi stepped forward and grabbed Xu Anran, looked her up and down, and asked eagerly.

"I'm fine."

"How do you ...... that?"

Following Xu Anran's gaze, a trace of doubt flashed in Jiang Yi's eyes, and he was a little familiar.

"Who is this?"

"I don't know." Xu Anran had a cold face, picked up the ingredients again and went into the kitchen.

"You are Xiao Jiang, I, I am An Ran's father, Xu Jianzhong." Seeing that Xu Anran didn't want to pay attention to himself at all, Xu Jianzhong was a little embarrassed, so he turned his head to look at Jiang Yi and explained in a low voice.

"Oh...... It's my uncle. ”

Xu Jianzhong, Jiang Yi knew, although he had not seen a real person before, but about him, Xu Mu and An Ran never hid it from him.

Now suddenly appearing in his and An Ran's house, it's a bit weird to say anything.

"Jiang Yi, let him go out !!"

"Uncle, then you can sit down first, and I'll go talk to An Ran."

Hearing the roar inside, Jiang Yi glanced at the dining table, comforted Xu Jianzhong, and immediately ran to the kitchen.

The people inside are busy sorting the ingredients.

"Enron ......"

"Isn't he gone yet?"

"You calm down first, look at the food on the table outside, I don't think my uncle is trespassing. Maybe something really happened. Jiang Yi followed behind Xu Anran and persuaded in a good voice.

"Hmph, what can he do? Didn't it trespass, or did my mommy let him in? He did that to me, and divorced Mommy when I was sick and Mommy was the hardest, I don't know why he came here! ”

"I know, if it were me, I probably wouldn't be able to accept it, but now you need to calm down, like you said, I don't know why my uncle is here, so there must be a reason, isn't it? Let's get things figured out first, and it's time to regenerate gas. ”

"I just don't want to see him !!"

Xu Anran was completely stuck in a dead knot and couldn't listen to anything.

"Enron ......"

"Alright, don't fight, I let him in."

When Jiang Yi was distressed, a voice suddenly sounded at the door.

I saw Xu Mu walking in with a pot of soy sauce.

"Mommy, how come?"

"I'll talk about this later, let's go over and eat when we've got our things in place."

"Mom-" seemed to be incredible, Xu Anran looked at Xu Jianzhong outside, and his tone increased.

"Either go out to eat, or go back to your room, and if you want to mess around or don't want anything, let me out!!"

Mother Xu was unmoved, and her whole face was even more blue.

"It's unbelievable!!"

Xu Anran angrily threw away the plastic bag in his hand, pushed Jiang Yi away and ran into his room.

"Mommy, I, I'll take a look." Jiang Yi, who chased out, said hello to Xu's mother and ran in.

"Leave her alone, sit down and eat."

"Shihan, I'm sorry, it's all my fault, I was too confused before, I'm sorry Ranran, I'm sorry for you......"

"Okay, it's too late to say anything now, let's eat quietly."

"Oh, okay, okay, you can sit down and eat too."

"Leave me alone, I'll go to the next bowl of noodles."

Although she did not show obvious disgust, Xu's mother's tone was always lukewarm.

Xu Jianzhong opened his mouth a little sadly, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he chose to sit down at the table and picked up the dishes and chopsticks again.

It was already ten o'clock when Mother Xu went to Xu Anran's room, and Xu Jianzhong had already left.

It was Jiang Yilai who opened the door.

"How's it going?"

"I sat on the bed and refused to speak."

"Okay, I see, I'll tell her, it's been a day, are you hungry? Let's go grab a bite to eat. ”

Mother Xu sighed, her tone full of helplessness.

"Mommy, you and uncle...... Nothing happened, right? ”

"It's okay, don't worry."

Nodding, Jiang Yi glanced at Xu Anran and exited the room.

Pulling a chair, Xu's mother sat down in front of Xu Anran, and only then did she see Xu Anran's face clearly, and the circles of her two eyes were red.

"Crying?"

"Nope." With a thick nasal tone in his tone, with a suffocated little face, Xu Anran didn't look away and deny it.

"Mommy is not stupid, can she still suffer from him?"

"It's not...... I'm afraid you'll be upset to see him. ”

"Okay, I don't want to, you take this." patted Xu Anran's knee, and Xu's mother put a bank card into Xu Anran's hand.

"What is this?"

"This is what your dad wants to give you."

"Mommy, I don't want his money." Xu Anran stuffed the card into Xu's mother's hand again, and refused with a strong mouth.

"Silly boy, what are you doing if you can't get along with money. Besides, this money should have been yours, when I divorced your father, the house could have been divided among us, I thought about moving out anyway, Xu Jianzhong was also considered human nature at that time, and the distribution of other aspects of property was reasonable, so I didn't fight for it. So the house has always been in his hands, for two years, he has not lived in it, it has been shelved, and now he has sold the house and decided to give you the money, you can take it, he came here today, also for this matter. ”

"Why did he ...... all of a sudden?"

"Maybe it's because I'm old and I've seen everything. Not long after we arrived in Shaoxing, he actually looked for me a few times, but he didn't tell you when he was afraid that you would think too much. He wanted to reconcile with me, but I refused. Later, he said that he was volunteering in a nursing home, and I didn't believe it at first, but once I accidentally bumped into it, and I was quite surprised that there was such a thing. ”

"Mommy, did you forgive him?"

Xu Anran looked at his mother with a calm look, a little surprised.

"When you are truly relieved of some things, it doesn't matter if you forgive or not, and at the beginning, it wasn't the divorce he took the initiative to mention, I couldn't stand it, but I didn't expect it to become a knot in your heart."

"Mommy, I'...... Sorry ......"

"Good boy, what's wrong with you! I see that you have been very awkward with Jiang Yi recently, these days are passing day by day, and if you don't have a good time, you will also suffer yourself, be more open-minded and steadfast, and it will be smooth slowly. Alright, put your card away and go out to eat! ”

"Hmm."

In response, Xu Anran looked at the card in his hand, and his heart was mixed.
