Song Jinning looked extremely uneasy. Her beautiful phoenix eyes quickly welled up with tears. She looked like she was about to burst into tears.
She timidly glanced at Huo Guanchen, but Huo Guanchen was still sitting next to grandfather Huo with a frown on his face. He had no intention of looking at her. Song Jinning's eyes became even more watery.
"Auntie Xing, Auntie You, hurry up and take Second Aunt upstairs." Huo Jialan scrambled to take Song Jinning away.
Gu Nianzhi couldn't help being shocked when she heard Huo Jialan call her "Second Aunt."
Huo Shaoheng's father, Huo Guanchen, was Huo Jialan's second uncle. So this Second Aunt was Huo Guanchen's wife?
Looking at her age, she couldn't be older than 30. So she couldn't be Huo Shaoheng's biological mother?
Gu Nianzhi's mind raced as she stole a glance at Huo Shaoheng.
Huo Shaoheng was sitting with his back to them. He didn't turn around, so Gu Nianzhi couldn't see his expression. She only felt his back straighten.
Gu Nianzhi rarely saw Huo Shaoheng so serious. She turned to look at Song Jinning again.
Song Jinning saw that Gu Nianzhi was the only one in the room looking at her intently. She looked at her pleadingly.
Gu Nianzhi was no stranger to this kind of panicked and helpless expression.
When she had just narrowly escaped a car accident, she often saw herself in the mirror with this kind of panicked expression. It was like she didn't fit in with the world.
She instinctively squeezed Song Jinning's hand and turned to Huo Jialan. She asked gently, "Sister Lan, what illness does Mrs. Huo have? I don't think she has a fever. "
In Gu Nianzhi's mind, only a fever could be considered an illness …
Huo Jialan stared at Gu Nianzhi in shock for a while before shaking her head. "She doesn't have a fever, but she's definitely sick."
"Really?" Gu Nianzhi pitied Song Jinning even more. "What illness?"
"… I'm not sick." Song Jinning muttered indignantly. "I'm not sick." She repeated to Gu Nianzhi. Tears were about to fall from her eyes, but she insisted that she wasn't sick.
"Yes, I believe you." Gu Nianzhi squeezed her hand again and felt that she was probably the only one who didn't know about this. No one in the restaurant spoke, so they were probably really sick. However, looking at the woman's expression, Gu Nianzhi really couldn't think of what kind of illness could be like this.
Song Jinning could speak clearly, recognize the road, and talk to people. If she was mentally ill, it would be impossible.
Gu Nianzhi had seen Chen Lie's cameo as a psychiatrist before, so she had read many psychology books. She was no stranger to the evaluation and diagnosis of mental illness.
"Do you really believe me?" Song Jinning was a little excited. "Do you really believe me?"
Before Gu Nianzhi could reply, Huo Jialan suddenly asked, "Second Aunt, how old are you?"
"Eighteen. I'm eighteen. What's wrong?" Song Jinning looked at Huo Jialan in confusion. "Haven't you asked me that many times?"
Huo Jialan crossed her arms and looked at Gu Nianzhi. She raised her chin. "See? That's her illness. "
"I still don't understand." Gu Nianzhi shook her head. "Can you explain more?"
"… My Second Aunt thinks she's always 18. It's been more than a decade, and she hasn't changed. My Second Aunt is actually almost 50 years old. " Huo Jialan didn't expect Gu Nianzhi to be so insistent. She thought Gu Nianzhi was being too nosy and frowned. However, she still explained Song Jinning's illness.
In front of so many members of the Huo family, Song Jinning was already giving Huo Shaoheng face by not saying that she was "mentally ill." However, Gu Nianzhi wasn't stupid, so she should be able to understand what she was implying, right?
So her real age was almost 50. That must be Huo Shaoheng's biological mother.
Gu Nianzhi smiled and said to Huo Jialan, "Are you serious?! If this is an illness, then almost all women in the world are mentally ill! "
"… What do you mean?" This time it was Huo Jialan's turn to be confused. She had clearly said it, so why didn't Gu Nianzhi understand?
The Huo family had hidden Song Jinning well all these years and hired people to take care of her. They didn't want her to go out and embarrass herself …
"You don't understand?" Gu Nianzhi pulled Song Jinning's hand away from Huo Jialan's and said with a smile, "Don't most women think they'll always be 18? It's just that most people don't say it out loud. "
Gu Nianzhi held Song Jinning's hand and said with a smile, "I'm the same as you. I also want to be 18 forever. Don't worry, I'll be sick with you. "
Song Jinning's uneasiness was immediately alleviated. She immediately felt wronged, "Really? You're 18 too? That's great, I tell them so many times every day, but they don't believe me. They even say I'm sick! "Her eyes were rimmed with tears.
"Yes yes yes yes, of course I believe you. These people don't understand the world of 'forever 18 year olds.' But it's okay, who needs them to understand? Whatever we say is what we say. If you say you're 18, then you're 18. Whoever doesn't believe me can hang themselves. Who cares about them? "
Song Jinning was ecstatic when she heard Gu Nianzhi's words. She wrapped both hands around Gu Nianzhi's hand and said, "No need to hang yourself … Even if you don't believe me, you don't have to hang yourself … I just want one person to believe me."
"I believe you completely." Gu Nianzhi pulled Song Jinning to the dining table and said, "Come, have dinner with everyone. If anyone says you're sick, I'll take care of them for you. "She glanced at Huo Jialan with a smile.
Huo Jialan shook her head with a wry smile. She walked over to Grandfather Huo and Huo Guanchen and said awkwardly, "Grandfather, Second Uncle, what do you think we should do? Second Aunt's illness has never been good, and now someone is adding fuel to the fire and going crazy with her. Won't it worsen her illness? "
"I'm not crazy! I'm not crazy! " Song Jinning screamed, clutching her head. Perhaps it was the word "crazy" that Huo Jialan had said that agitated her.
Gu Nianzhi quickly coaxed her, "Ok ok, you're not crazy, you're not crazy."
Song Jinning immediately snuggled into Gu Nianzhi's arms and trembled.
"Sister Lan, don't say that. I really don't think it's crazy to think that you'll always be 18." Gu Nianzhi shot Huo Jialan a disapproving look and immediately changed the subject, "Sister Lan, hurry up and serve the dishes. Everyone's hungry. What's for dinner? "
Gu Nianzhi's seat was next to Huo Shaoheng, so the seat next to her was given to Song Jinning.
Song Jinning sat on the other side of Zhang Wenna. She watched with interest as Gu Nianzhi coaxed Song Jinning, and looked meaningfully at her parents.
The corners of Huo Jialan's mouth twitched. She hadn't expected Gu Nianzhi to turn the tables so quickly, but she didn't mind and immediately ordered the kitchen to serve the dishes. She walked over to Huo Shaoheng and whispered, "Cousin Brother, shouldn't you … discipline Miss Gu a little?"
Huo Shaoheng's gaze had been fixed on Gu Nianzhi, and when he heard Huo Jialan's words, he raised his hand in objection, "No need. Serve the dishes. "
Gu Nianzhi gently patted Song Jinning's back as she spoke to her softly. Song Jinning gradually calmed down and sat up straight. She smiled at Gu Nianzhi fawningly and asked, "What do you like to eat? I know how to cook. I'll make it for you tomorrow? "
Gu Nianzhi quickly nodded, "I must try Mrs. Huo's cooking tomorrow."
Song Jinning blushed slightly and quickly glanced at Huo Guanchen sitting across from her. She leaned over to Gu Nianzhi's ear and whispered, "… I'm not married yet, so I'm not Mrs. Huo yet." She paused, then continued shyly, "But I'm very happy that you call me Mrs. Huo."
Her pale cheeks were flushed, and her eyes were like limpid autumn waters, sparkling. She looked like a young girl who had just fallen in love.
Gu Nianzhi looked at her skin and remembered Huo Jialan saying Song Jinning was almost 50. She asked enviously, "Mrs. Huo, you take care of your skin so well. How do you do it? Can you share? "
Song Jinning was particularly interested in this topic and rambled on about how to take care of her skin. She then asked Gu Nianzhi about the brand of clothes and where she bought them.
Gu Nianzhi discussed clothes, shoes, and bags enthusiastically with her, and suddenly discovered that they had a lot in common = _ =.
It was her first time at the Huo residence, and she didn't know that this was the first time Song Jinning had spoken so much in over a decade since she got sick. Moreover, her manner and intonation were completely normal.
Grandfather Huo and Huo Guanchen were both shocked and looked at them with complicated expressions. Finally, they looked at Huo Shaoheng.
