Mi Xaing 'er carried her luggage and slowly walked down from the bridge. When she heard the sudden whistle, she turned her head to look …
Just in time …
The steam from the train roared and spewed out like a fairyland. Everything around them was shrouded in smoke and nothing could be seen clearly … including Yun Laohu.
So …
She and Yun Jingting just brushed shoulders and missed each other.
Mi Xaing 'er hugged Feng Xiuzhu as they walked down the bridge. They quickly walked out of the train station and boarded the bus on the opposite side.
Once the two of them were seated, Mi Xaing 'er couldn't wait to ask, "How's my mother-in-law doing in Shanghai? Where's the child? "
Feng Xiuzhu gently patted her hand. "Tsk, you still know that you have a home? You don't even want your mother-in-law and child anymore! Why did you have to come to this city? I don't even know what you want to do. With your results, you're the top scorer in the province! You can pick any school in the country, right? You might as well stay in Shanghai. Now that the policies are relaxed, many people are racking their brains to enter Shanghai! "
"…"
"Moreover, you're doing well in Shanghai. Auntie Xu aside, Mo Dongyang has taken on a lot of small construction projects. He'll give you a share of the profits. I really don't want to nag, but you're a rich woman now. You can eat and drink well in Shanghai and have everything you want. Why do you have to come to this place?"
Mi Xaing 'er smiled bitterly. "Everyone has their own ambitions! I'll get up from where I fall! Back then, I left this city quietly. Oh, no, I left this city with a big belly! Now, I have to come back in a dignified manner. I have to clarify the matter, clear my name, and be a righteous person! "
Feng Xiuzhu tilted her head and looked at her. "You're just too competitive. You want to compete for everything! You want to return home in glory? You did it too. You're the top scorer now and famous in the province! But what's the use? Who are you showing it to? You're the one who's tired and suffering! "
Mi Xaing 'er smiled and pinched her. "Don't just talk about me. What about yourself? Why don't you stay in Shanghai? Why don't you stay by Brother Mo's side? "
"I …"
"Aren't you the same? In the end, you're just too eager to excel! If you don't want to live under Master Feng's halo forever, you might as well come out and open up your own world! "
Feng Xiuzhu stopped talking.
This was indeed the case!
In Shanghai, she would always be Feng Shifeng's daughter. No matter how good her clothes were, she would never be able to surpass her father's fame. In order to stand at the same height as her beloved, she was willing to leave home and work hard to start a new career.
Although it was a good idea, it was hard for Feng Xiuzhu to change her shy personality. If she went to an unfamiliar place alone, she would be a little scared. She thought about it in her heart. She had a good relationship with Mi Xaing 'er, so she might as well go to the same city and take care of each other.
Feng Xiuzhu still felt sorry for Mi Xaing 'er. "Anyway, your situation is different from mine! I don't have anything to worry about and it doesn't matter where I go. What about you? Not to mention other things, how many long-distance calls have you made to Shanghai these days? Even if you don't miss your mother-in-law, I'm afraid you can't let go of the child, right? "
Child?
Once the child was mentioned …
Mi Xaing 'er sighed heavily. "Sigh! Sister Xiuzhu, you're not a mother, so you really don't understand the hardships here. Although the child has been weaned, I still feel uncomfortable every night. It's as if I can hear his cries. I can't even sleep well. I carried the child for ten months and gave birth to him. How can I not feel uncomfortable leaving him in Shanghai? "
"…"
"But there's nothing I can do even if I can't bear to! Do you think … I don't want to bring him along? But my mother-in-law is right too! I haven't solved the problem here yet. Bringing the child along? It'll only implicate him! "
Mi Xaing 'er clenched her little fists, raised her little chin, and said in a determined tone, "A woman's heart is strong as a mother. Everything in this world, no matter what it is, is not as important to me as the child's safety!"
Of course, Feng Xiuzhu understood her feelings. "I know how much you love the baby! Back then, when you gave birth to him, you were tortured in the hospital for two days. You were in so much pain that even my heart ached when I saw that scene! After that, you had to breastfeed and go through confinement. You also suffered a lot. When the child finally grew up, I thought it would be easier, but in the end, there were even more problems. Usually, I was afraid that he would be hungry, but I was also afraid that he would be too full. Anyway, I didn't feel it in the past, but now that I look at it, it's really not easy to raise a child! "
Mi Xaing 'er shifted her gaze to the window. She used her finger to cut through the frost on the glass. Through the clear semicircle, she looked at the dancing snowflakes under the street lamp. Her thoughts seemed to have flown to the faraway Shanghai. She muttered softly, "Sometimes, when I hear other people's children crying, I feel sad. When I see other people carrying their children, I always want to go over and take a look! I've only been separated from the baby for two weeks, but it feels like a century has passed! "
Feng Xiuzhu immediately took over the topic. "Don't feel sad. Before I left, Auntie Xu specially took Little Bumper Harvest to take a new photo. I brought it over for you!"
Mi Xaing 'er turned to look at her. Her eyes seemed to have a brilliant light. "Really? Let me see! "
Feng Xiuzhu took out a leather envelope from her pocket and handed it to Mi Xaing 'er. Then, she pursed her lips and smiled. "Auntie Xu knows you best. She knows that you can't bear to leave your husband and your child …"
Mi Xaing 'er looked down at the photo and replied coquettishly, "No way! What husband? Yun and I … I've already cut ties with him and drawn a clear line! Before I figure out my problem, I won't contact him no matter what! Otherwise, leaving him back then would have been meaningless! "
Feng Xiuzhu disagreed. "Tsk! What do you mean by drawing a clear line? You're still connected even when your bones are broken. Tell me the truth, if it wasn't for Big Brother Yun, why did you insist on coming back to the provincial capital? "
She didn't hold back. "Mi Xaing 'er, we've been the closest in the past two years. Do you think I don't know what's on your mind? After you gave birth, your figure recovered quickly and you're still as beautiful as before. Naturally, there are people pursuing you. Some of them have good qualities, but you don't even look at them! "
Mi Xaing 'er wasn't in the mood to pay attention to her. Facing the dim lights in the car, she gazed with a smile at her chubby son in the photo … She saw that the child was already able to sit up. He was wearing a blue suede jacket that she had made herself and a similar melon cap. His white radish-like arms were exposed, and there were "pits" on his chubby little hands. He was clutching the bedsheets tightly. His eyes were round and round, and they were so big that they looked like he was wearing contact lenses. He was quietly staring at the camera.
Looking at the expression on his face … the corners of his lips were pursed, and the two chubby "apple muscles" on his cheeks were even more prominent. He had thick eyebrows, big eyes, long eyelashes, and facial features that resembled Yun Laohu. He was so beautiful.
Mi Xaing 'er held the photo and felt so happy that she almost kissed the photo. "Sister Xiuzhu, I've only been out for two weeks. Why do I feel like' Little Harvest 'has grown so much?"
She was secretly annoyed. "I don't care. Anyway, once my problem is solved, no matter what Mom says, I'll immediately take the child over … I'm determined to raise him myself!"
Feng Xiuzhu hesitated for a moment. "Since you've already said this, then let me ask you something. You've been back for more than ten days. About you …"
She lowered her voice and put her lips close to Mi Xaing 'er's ear, afraid that the other people in the car would hear her. "… About your spy case, how's it going? Didn't you go to the rehabilitation committee? You also reported the situation truthfully. What did they say? When will it be resolved? "
Mi Xaing 'er had been working in Feng Xiuzhu's tailor shop for the past two years, so she was the closest to Feng Xiuzhu. The two of them talked about almost everything and had nothing to hide. Otherwise, she wouldn't have agreed to bring Feng Xiuzhu to the provincial capital. "I go to the task force every day, but they have too many cases to resolve now. They won't be able to find me in such a short time!"
Feng Xiuzhu nodded. "I've heard about this too. Although the policy is relaxed now, it's not that easy to reverse the previous cases immediately. It still needs some time. It'll take a few days to investigate, collect evidence, and repeat. I've seen a lot of it in Shanghai! The rehabilitation office's entrance is crowded with people every day. "
"It's the same here. I've been there a few times, and there's only one answer: They want me to wait patiently! But I can't be so stupid … "
Before she could finish her sentence, she suddenly heard a "Eh?" Then, someone in the dark car asked softly, "You're … Mi Xaing 'er, right? Hm? Is it really you? When did you come back? "
"Ah?"
Mi Xaing 'er looked up …
