Chapter 162: The Man in the Painting
"You little girl, you are really sharp-toothed."
Hearing this, Meng Duo was about to refute something, but this Mother Xu actually laughed, and her smile confused her.
Mother Xu stood up and took out a small transparent box from the refrigerator, which contained delicate pastries.
"Here, you taste."
Meng Duo was stunned for a moment, she looked at the pastry in front of her, raised her eyebrows slightly, and blurted out directly without thinking about it: "You can't be poisoned here, right?" ”
"Poisoned?" Mother Xu blinked, a little puzzled, she stretched out her hand and pointed at herself first, "Do you think that a kind look will poison you?" ”
Meng Duo smiled, but these four words had nothing to do with her. But seeing her standing in front of her, and holding the pastry in her hand, she couldn't shirk it, so she reached out and took it, "Thank you." ”
"You're quite polite, it's really different from those women before."
"Are you complimenting me?" Meng Duo glanced at her, and then opened the lid of the pastry in front of her under her gaze, and inside was a white pastry with filling, which looked dark and looked like jujube paste. After hesitating for two seconds, he took out a small piece from it and put it directly in his mouth, the thick flavor of bean paste, and the soft and glutinous taste, it was really delicious.
"Is this a bean paste cake?"
Mother Xu handed her a tissue and corrected, "This is a bean paste sponge." ”
"Isn't that still a bean paste cake?" After speaking, she took another piece and put it in her mouth, and Mother Xu did not have the previous hostility, and sat aside and watched her eat.
Meng Duo was a little unaccustomed to this kind of gaze, but when she ate the third piece of bean paste muffin, tears fell.
"What are you crying about?" Mother Xu was a little puzzled, she knew that her craftsmanship was very good, whether it was her young master or other people, they all loved to eat, but it wouldn't be so delicious that she cried, right?
"I miss my mother...... Meng Duo wiped her tears, but the tears still kept flowing, in the past, she lived in the school, and every weekend when she went back her mother would always make her favorite bean paste buns, as well as grunt pork and many other things she loved to eat. However, where have her parents gone now, why have they not been able to find it for so long? Thinking of this, the tears fell even more fiercely.
Seeing this, Mother Xu's heart softened a little, she half-squatted on the ground, wiped her tears with a tissue, "It's normal to be homesick and miss my mother, and I want to too, so, I can understand you." ”
Hearing this, Meng Duo looked at her with teary eyes: "Do you miss your mother too?" ”
Mother Xu shook her head, then stood up, first sighed, and the next second, said lightly: "I am an orphan,"
"Then you still say that you are also homesick, do you understand me?" Meng Duo sniffed, and his eyes were red.
"You girl, don't I comfort you, why do you still ask me about it." Xu's mother asked rhetorically, and the next second, she sat back on the sofa, "Where are you from, if you miss home, you can go home and have a look." ”
Meng Duo shook his head, calmed down a lot, and then replied: "My parents don't know where to go, I can't find ...... now"
Mother Xu was stunned for a moment, the pair of Danfeng eyes suddenly became deep, she stretched out her hand and patted her shoulder, she was a person abandoned by her parents. Suddenly, she seemed to notice something, "You're so cold, are you sick?" ”
Meng Duo hurriedly kept some distance from her, and said lightly: "I...... I've been cold since I was a child, and I'm not sick. ”
Mother Xu opened her mouth, but before she could say anything, looking at Meng Duo's appearance, she felt interesting and familiar at this moment, so she poked her head and asked, "Little girl, have we met before?" ”
"How is that possible!" Meng Duo didn't want to refuse directly, but before the words came out, Mother Xu also shook her head, "It's really old, how can we have seen it." ”
Although she said this, she still looked at her intently, and the next second, she slapped her thigh violently, "I remember, you are, you are the person in the painting!" ”
Meng Duo was stunned at this time, she pointed to herself, "You say I'm the person in the painting?" ”
Mother Xu nodded again and again, "When I entered the door, I thought you were a little familiar at first sight, I thought it was because I was old and my eyes were glazed, but now that I look at it like this, you are the person in our young master's painting." ”
This sentence stunned Meng Duo, and he didn't know what to say for a while.
And Xu's mother approached her and looked at her carefully: "It's like, it's so similar." ”
As she spoke, she grabbed Meng Duo's hand and opened the conversation, "Actually, our young master had an accident three years ago, so he also saw a psychiatrist for more than two years. ”
"What happened to Wang Cong three years ago?" Meng Duo tensed her nerves, because she had also been dead for three years, and Wang Cong also helped her back then, and now this Xu Ma said that Wang Cong also had an accident three years ago, so she can't be coincidentally like this, right?
Mother Xu shook her head, her eyes were suddenly full of tears, "The young master was brought up by me since I was a child, three years ago, he rushed back to Hongshi from Jincheng overnight, but he suddenly suffered a car accident on the way and almost died." Later, when he recovered, he was like a demon, and he locked himself in the house every day to paint, and he said that there was a face in his mind that seemed to be important to him, but he couldn't remember it. For half a year, he painted every day, and the whole person was like a fool. We know that if this continues, the young master will be finished. So I hired a psychiatrist from abroad, and after more than two years of treatment, I was cured. ”
Speaking of which, Mother Xu thought of the paintings painted by her young master, and since he was cured of his illness, those paintings were locked in the warehouse of the old mansion. Although there is nothing wrong with looking at him now, she knows that he always has nightmares for no reason because of that incident, and he has not slept well in the past three years.
"Look, we've been talking for so long, I don't know what your name is." Xu's mother asked.
And Meng Duo was stunned for two seconds at first, and then reported his name: "My name is Meng Duo." ”
"Meng Duo......" Mother Xu smiled and muttered to herself: "This name is good, Meng Duo, it seems that it is also fate, and it can solve the dream of my young master for many years." ”
"Mother Xu, why are you here?"
Wang Cong didn't know when he woke up, standing at the door of the bedroom and looking at Meng Duo and Xu's mother.
Mother Xu stood up excitedly, she stepped forward and stretched out her hand to touch his forehead and breathed a sigh of relief: "The fever has subsided." ”
"When did you come here?" Wang Cong looked at Mother Xu, but she didn't respond to herself, her pupils flashed with excitement, and she said vigorously: "Young Master, I can cure your heart palpitations!" After speaking, she turned to look at Meng Duo, "This Miss Meng Duo is your nobleman. ”
Wang Cong felt a little cold, sat down on the sofa slowly, and took a blanket and draped it on his body: "Mother Xu, what did you talk about with Duoduo so happily, why is she my nobleman." ”
Mother Wu was still in excitement, she didn't hear what Wang Cong was saying at all, she took her cloth bag by herself, and was about to leave, "Young master, I'll go back to the old mansion, and I'll come back early tomorrow morning, and I'll bring Dr. Delton with me." ”
"Bring him to do something." Wang Cong frowned, a little unhappy.
"Of course it's to cure your heart palpitations." Mother Xu couldn't hide the joy on her face, and without waiting for Wang Cong to say anything, she quickly opened the door and left, leaving only two people who were confused.
"What did you say?" Wang Cong looked at Meng Duo, and Meng Duo was also very curious: "Your housekeeper Mother Xu, there is no mental problem, right?" ”
She couldn't understand why they suddenly became extremely excited when they were chatting normally just now.
"Ahem, cough, cough......" Wang Cong coughed twice, and he was a little confused, but he said with great certainty: "Don't worry, even if you and I have any mental problems, Mother Xu will not." ”
"Why are you so sure?"
"Because she has a very strong heart." Wang Cong smiled, his face was a little pale due to the fever before.
However, Mother Wu on the other side happily went downstairs, thinking to herself that after going back to find the painting, she would bring Dr. Delton tomorrow and hypnotize her again, maybe her young master would think about what happened three years ago, so that she could solve the heart palpitations that had been around for many years.
Because he was just thinking about it, he didn't notice the person in front of him at all, and the two of them collided directly.
"Oops~"
Xi Muting was pretending to be stumbling, and when she was about to get angry, she found that it was Mother Xu, the housekeeper of Wang Cong's old mansion, in front of her, and her face softened a little.
"Mother Xu, where are you going in such a hurry?"
And Mother Xu didn't expect to meet Xi Muting here, "Miss Xi, why did you come out at night, are you here to find the young master?" ”
"Yes, I passed by here today, so I happened to stop by and have a look."
Saying that, she wanted to go upstairs, but as soon as she took two steps, Mother Xu stopped her, remembering that the eldest lady of the Xi family, Xi Muting, was weak, and her young master was catching a cold, she was in such poor health, if she went up, it would not be good to be infected with a flash cold.
"Mother Xu, what are you stopping me from doing?" Xi Muting frowned and looked displeased.
Mother Xu hurriedly said: "Miss Xi, don't get me wrong, my young master has a cold today, there is a virus, and your immunity is so low." ”
Hearing this, Xi Muting's face looked a little better, "Okay, then I won't go up today to listen to you, by the way, Mother Xu, is Brother Cong better now?" ”
With that, the two of them walked out one after the other.
"It's much better now, Miss Meng is taking care of it, and the fever has subsided."
Xi Muting stopped suddenly, her face instantly turned cold, "Mother Xu...... The Miss Meng you are talking about, is it called Meng Duo? ”
"yes, you know?" Mother Xu had a faint smile on her face.
Although Xi Muting had no expression on her face, the joints of her hand holding the bag had turned white, and in the next second, a stiff smile appeared on her face: "Yes, we have known each other, and we have known each other for many years." ”
"That's really a coincidence, when I saw that Miss Meng today, I felt that she was very similar to the person in the young master's painting, perhaps, she was the same person in the painting."
"Didn't Brother Cong forget everything, why are you still mentioning this matter now?"
