Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Unspeakable
"Nope! Mom didn't mean that, she was just worried about your studies...... You can come and accompany me, don't mention how happy Mom is. Shen Ruxin said with a hint of excitement in her tone.
"Really?" Mo Qingfeng smiled softly, and naturally continued to sit down, he originally had no intention of leaving.
"In addition to accompanying you so late, I have another thing I want to ask you." Mo Qingfeng's tone suddenly became serious, and his eyes stared at his mother fiercely.
"What's the matter?" Shen Ruxin replied with a smile.
"What I want to ask is, what kind of festivals or grievances did the Mo family and the Liu family have had before?" Mo Qingfeng's eyes were solemn, and his tone sank suddenly.
"The Liu family? Which Yanagi family? The smile on Shen Ruxin's face stiffened suddenly, and then she looked at Mo Qingfeng with a slightly panicked expression, "Y-what do you know?" β
"You know, why pretend? It's Qingyi's house. The corners of Mo Qingfeng's lips lifted slightly.
"Qingfeng, how did you know about this? Did your dad, or your grandma tell you? Shen Ruxin obviously didn't mean to answer, but turned to ask rhetorically.
"I can see it myself." Mo Qingfeng's tone suddenly became heavier when he said this, "Don't divert the topic, tell me what's going on?" β
"I ...... This, Qingfeng ......" Shen Ruxin's expression struggled slightly, she didn't want to refuse her son's request, but this matter was ......
"Since you don't want to say it, it seems that there is no need for me to stay." Mo Qingfeng frowned, and then coldly threatened.
"Don't go, I-" Shen Ruxin bit her lower lip tightly, and only sighed after a long time, looking at Mo Qingfeng with a solemn expression, "Mom can tell you, but you have to be mentally prepared." I'm afraid that after the truth is said, you won't be able to accept it. So, do you still need to know? β
"I ......" Mo Qingfeng hesitated this time, and then looked at Shen Ruxin and said tentatively, "Is it really that serious, no matter what grievances our family and the Liu family have, can't they be resolved after so many years?" β
"The deceased is gone, in fact, my mother has long stopped complaining about the Liu family. It's just up to your dad and grandma to see if they can let go of this past. Shen Ruxin shook her head, her expression slightly gloomy.
"The dead? Are you talking about, Qingyi's mother, Murong Nan? Mo Qingfeng raised his eyebrows slightly.
"Don't put her name in front of me!" When Shen Ruxin heard the words "Murong Nan", her emotions suddenly became uncontrollable, and her tone suddenly became cold.
"With your attitude, you actually lie to me, you have already let go? It's ridiculous. Mo Qingfeng stood up suddenly, looked directly at his mother and asked, "You still hate her, do you?" What exactly did she do to you? β
"I-anyway, if it weren't for her, your grandfather wouldn't have treated me like that, and he wouldn't have been ...... by me," Shen Ruxin said this, looking up at Mo Qingfeng's increasingly gloomy face, and finally didn't dare to say any more.
"You're still making excuses for your mistakes! When will you be able to take responsibility yourself? It's been so many years since Grandpa died, after all, you are my mother, and I can forgive you. However, what I can't accept is why you haven't had a trace of remorse until now?! β
After Mo Qingfeng finished speaking, he didn't give Shen Ruxin a chance to defend himself, so he snatched the door with an angry face.
"Sunny wind! It's not like this......" Shen Ruxin wanted to explain, she even wanted to tell the truth, but Mo Qingfeng had already run away and couldn't hear it.
Shen Ruxin collapsed on the hospital bed all of a sudden, covering her chest with her hands, her face was pale, and she looked at the direction where Mo Qingfeng left with a painful expression: "Qingfeng, you misunderstand your mother like this, your mother's heart is like dripping blood, it hurts, it hurts......"
Next to the open-air swimming pool in the garden of Nalan's villa in Modern City, Nalan Yunxiao has been lying on a reclining chair since he came back, with his hands behind his head, raising his head to look at the starry sky in the night sky, and he has been stunned.
"Yunxiao, are you still thinking about having dinner at noon today?" Han Xin suddenly appeared by the pool and slowly approached Nalan Yunxiao, his tone soft.
Yun Xiao turned her head to look at her mother, her tone paused, and then asked, "Mom?" You haven't rested yet, Dad? β
"Your dad is still working in the study, he is actually very tired and hard for this family, Yunxiao, don't blame your dad." Han Xin squatted down and held Yun Xiao's hand to persuade him.
"I know, I'm just dissatisfied with his desire to control me, Mom, why didn't you have one more child at that time, so that Dad wouldn't be so cruel to me, an only child." Yun Xiao glanced at his mouth, rather helplessly fantasizing.
When the words fell, Han Xin's body stiffened suddenly, and then he muttered with some hesitation: "Yun Xiao, it's actually ......."
"What?" Although Han Xin's voice was extremely small, it was still heard by Yun Xiao, who was deaf.
"Oh, it's nothing, it's when my mother married your father, and her health was not very good, so ......" Han Xin hurriedly changed his voice, with a faint hint of concealment in his tone.
"Oh. It's nothing, Mom, I'm just kidding. Yun Xiao didn't know if she noticed the subtle change in her mother's expression, and shook her head and replied rather indifferently.
"Okay, then tell Mom, what have you been thinking about sitting here for so long?" Han Xin was slightly curious.
Yun Xiao frowned slightly, his gaze towards the night sky finally shifted, and then he suddenly sat up and looked at Han Xin: "Actually, I went to the hotel to find Shao Yang this afternoon......
Han Xin saw that Yun Xiao's words were suddenly paused at this point, and he also felt a little uneasy in his heart, so he asked softly, "Have you gone to find Yangyang?" Did something happen when you went out? β
However, Yun Xiao did not directly answer Han Xin's words, but changed his voice: "Mom, tell me honestly, how did I lose my memory?" Why don't I remember what happened to my freshman year at all? β
"Yunxiao, you ...... Don't you, do you think of something? Han Xin's eyes lit up suddenly, and his face began to gradually fill with surprise that he couldn't hide.
"Did I really have amnesia-" Yun Xiao's eyes stared at her mother with a rather gloomy expression, "I just felt it myself, but I don't know what I forgot, so ...... So I still don't have any memory of what happened in Santa Feyton before. β
"Mom can tell you, but Mom doesn't know much, and you need to retrieve these memories yourself. If I tell you now, how should you face yourself and Qingyi? In fact, Han Xin also wanted Yun Xiao to regain his previous memories, but he felt that it was really inappropriate to use this method of telling him directly, so after hesitating for a moment, he could only ask like this.
"Facing Qingyi?" Yun Xiao's face was full of surprise and doubt, "Mom, Qingyi and I have known each other for a long time?" What do I owe her, I don't have my memory back now, but you tell me, what should I do to make it up to her? β
"Alas...... Haven't you always wondered why your dad doesn't like Qingyi? Han Xin also didn't answer Yun Xiao's question, and then shook his head a little angrily and asked.
"Why?" Hearing this, Yun Xiao immediately pricked up his ears and asked.
"Your father used to think that Qingyi's personality was not good, so he was prejudiced against her, but after all, she is the daughter of a big family, and your father will not object to you too much. But the incident that happened between the Liu family and the Nalan family back then was always between the two families, making your father always have a grudge against Qingyi. When Han Xin said the three words "that incident", even the always plain look in his eyes couldn't help but fluctuate slightly.
"Against us? Mom, what are you talking about? Yun Xiao stood up suddenly, with an extremely incredible expression on his face, and then continued to ask, "And back then...... What really happened back then? β
"I'm sorry Yunxiao, my mother can't say anything about that matter, and after all, it's been so long, my mother is for your good, and I don't want you to bear everything." Han Xin was worried that Yun Xiao would be angry, so she persuaded her bitterly.
"You guys? You mean me and Qingyi ......" Yun Xiao never imagined, nor dared to imagine what kind of past he and Qingyi would have, and what kind of past he had lost.
"Mom, I don't have to ask about the past. I just want to know now, Qingyi her, she really ...... Do you really like me? When Yun Xiao said this, even he didn't know what kind of emotion he was feeling in his heart, maybe it was a hesitation between expectation and fear.
"Yes, Qingyi really likes you, although my mother doesn't know much about what you have experienced before, it is enough to move my mother." Han Xin raised his head and looked at the stars in the night sky, a subtle smile on his face.
"I know what to do, thank you, Mom." Yun Xiao's expression seemed to become quite decisive after speaking, and then he quickly got up and ran into the villa.
Looking at Yun Xiao's departing back, Han Xin sighed, and even tears couldn't help but slip down his face: "Yun Xiao, our Nalan family owes too much to Qingyi." Although I don't know, tell you these things now, but Mom just really doesn't want you to hurt Qingyi again......"
Nalan Yunxiao ran to his room with all his strength, he really couldn't imagine that he owed Qingyi so much, maybe he didn't even know in his own heart, what kind of new feelings were born in his heart, but he knew that from now on, he just wanted to use his full strength to protect this girl who might have loved him; Maybe even the girl he once loved deeply......
As soon as he rushed into his room, Nalan Yunxiao closed the door tightly, and then collapsed on the bed quite weakly. Nalan Yunxiao looked at the ceiling in a daze, but his mind was in chaos. He didn't understand, why didn't Liu Qingyi tell himself all the time, if what his mother said was true, then Liu Qingyi should be his girlfriend? But why, do you call yourself "Brother Yunxiao"?
However, this kind of panic did not last long, and was broken by the sound of Nalan Yunxiao's rummaging through the cabinets, and at this moment, Yunxiao seemed to think of something and began to look for it in the room.
"yes, that's itβ"
