There was a knock on the door …
The three people in the house were in different moods. They all looked at the courtyard at the same time.
Mi Xaing 'er was a little excited. After all, she hadn't seen her mother for two years. She didn't know what Tang Xiling was like now. "I'll go take a look!"
She jogged to open the courtyard door.
She looked up and saw Gu Dalong standing outside the door with a smile. "Sister-in-law, look who I've brought over for you."
She stepped aside.
Tang Xiling immediately rushed over and grabbed Mi Xaing 'er's hand. She looked her up and down and choked on her sobs, unable to speak.
Gu Dalong hurriedly whispered, "Don't stand at the door. You'll cause unnecessary trouble!"
Tang Xilin nodded. The three of them then entered the courtyard together.
Comrade Xiao Gu was very alert, and he immediately closed the door.
Tang Xiling stood in the courtyard without saying a word. She looked at her daughter carefully under the moonlight. Tears flowed down her cheeks uncontrollably. "Xiang 'er, you've suffered. It's all my fault. If I hadn't sent that letter back then … Sigh, when we parted, we didn't even say goodbye. You were just pregnant then. I was so worried these past two years! I had nightmares every night! "
Mi Xaing 'er smiled faintly. "Those unhappy things are all in the past. Don't bring them up again."
She raised her hand and wiped away the tears on her cheeks. "Mom, now that we've made it, good times are coming."
Tang Xiling nodded with relief. "Yes, good times are coming!"
Then she remembered to ask, "Where's your son? Where's my grandson? I want to see him! Xiang 'er, you're really capable. You hid outside for two years. Not only did you go to college, but you even gave birth to your child safely. "
Mi Xaing 'er held her hand. "Mom, it's cold. Let's talk inside!"
Just as he pushed open the door to the upper room …
Xu Jingya was already standing by the door … She was, after all, a member of the public. No matter how much she disapproved of the Tang Xiling in her heart, she didn't intend to neglect her mother for the sake of Mi Xaing 'er.
She enthusiastically introduced herself, "You must be my in-law, right? I am Tiger's mother, Mi Xaing 'er's mother-in-law! My surname is Xu, and my name is Xu Jingya. I'm probably a few years older than you, so you can call me Big Sister. "
Tang Xiling had also heard a little about her. She immediately extended her hand politely and said, "In-law, thank you for taking care of Mi Xaing 'er for me for the past two years! Sigh! Our Xiang 'er's life is not good. She has a mother like me. Not only did I not take care of her, but I also made her suffer a lot because of me. Fortunately, she met you and Jingting, these two noble people … "
Before she could finish speaking, Xu Jingya smiled and waved her hand. "Don't say that. It's fate that brings people together. I don't feel that I'm Mi Xaing 'er's benefactor. On the contrary, I feel that … she brought me a lot of happiness and gave birth to a healthy and fair grandson for me. She's the benefactor of our family."
What a nice way to put it!
Tang Xueling narrowed her eyes and smiled.
She took the opportunity to look at the baby in her arms. Her eyes were burning with excitement and longing. "This is my Little Feng Shou? Can I … can I hold him? "
"Of course, the child is very cute."
Xu Jingya handed Feng Shou to her and naturally took a step back.
Tang Xiling hugged her grandson as if she liked him very much. Her face was full of smiles as she clicked her tongue. "Oh … oh … my grandson is so cute. Look at his little nose and eyes. He's so beautiful. He looks exactly like Xiang 'er when he was young …"
Before she could finish speaking, she looked up and saw Chen Jiaxuan beside her. She couldn't help but be a little stunned. "This is …"
Mi Xaing 'er calmly took her son from her. "Mom, sit down. I have a few words … I want to tell you slowly."
Tang Xiling seemed to have a premonition. She hesitantly sat down and fixed her gaze on Chen Jiaxuan.
Xu Jingya was a tactful person. "Xiang 'er, give the child to me. I'll warm up his milk. Dalong, come and help me."
She automatically retreated. She didn't intend to invade anyone's privacy … and took Gu Long 'er with her.
Mi Xaing 'er then formally introduced, "Mom, this is Chen Jiaxuan. He's from America …"
Tang Xilin repeated the words over and over again. "From America? His surname is Chen? America … "
She seemed to have realized something.
Mi Xiang nodded. "Yes, he's …"
She didn't know what to say. She took out the photo and said, "Mom, take a look at it yourself."
Tang Xiling hesitantly took the photo and looked at it … Her hands immediately trembled involuntarily. Tears flowed down her cheeks and fell onto the photo, turning into little crystal clear teardrops.
She couldn't be bothered to wipe her tears. She turned to Chen Jiaxuan in embarrassment. "He … he … Yaozhong is sick now?"
Chen Jiaxuan nodded and didn't hide anything. "Yes! He's very sick. My father's only wish now is to see you. It's this wish that has supported him until now. This morning, I just made a long-distance call to America. He even asked me … if I've seen you. "
These words … Mi Xiang 'er's nose turned a little sour when she heard them.
Tang Xiling was crying so hard that she didn't even have the strength to speak. She was choking on her sobs.
Mi Xaing 'er poured a glass of water and handed it to her. "Mom, calm down!"
She slowly stroked her back. "Don't be too agitated! Let's talk about business first. "
Tang Xiling bit her lips and held back her sobs. She nodded vigorously and looked at Chen Jiaxuan. "You … How could Yaozhong be your father?"
"Adoptive father!"
Chen Jiaxuan immediately explained, "He's in a very bad condition now. The doctor has already said that it's not recommended for him to travel long distances by air! On the other hand, the mainland government hasn't issued him a visa yet. That means … my father can't enter the country to meet you! "
Tang Xiling stood up suddenly and took a deep breath. She seemed to have made up her mind. "I wanted to sneak into Hong Kong a few years ago. Since Yaozhong can't come, I'll go out to meet him. I'll go all out … "
Chen Jiaxuan's eyes lit up. "Auntie, if my father can't return to China, you can only meet him overseas. I was afraid that you wouldn't agree to take the risk. Since you already have this idea, then it's easy. I'm willing to arrange everything."
Tang Xiling didn't even bother to say goodbye. "Okay, then I'll go with you. I'll leave immediately, as soon as possible. "
Chen Jiaxuan nodded. "Don't worry, I'll arrange everything as soon as possible!"
She then turned her gaze to Mi Xaing 'er. "What about you? Will you come with us? My father really wants to see you. "
This question …
Mi Xaing 'er didn't know how to answer.
She lowered her head and didn't know what to say.
Tang Xiling held her daughter's hand. "Xiang, I hope that you'll come with me. After all, we've been separated for two years. Now that we've just reunited, I don't want to be separated again. But I also understand that you have a child of your own. Feng Fengshou is too young to withstand the hardships of such a long journey …"
As she spoke, her tears fell again. "I often feel sad. I hope that you can meet your biological father, but I can't force you to give up everything here …"
Chen Jiaxuan took the opportunity to continue the conversation. "Xiao Mi, can you listen to me for a moment? In the past two years, I've been to the mainland twice and seen everything with my own eyes. Forgive me for being blunt, but this place can't be compared to the United States. The standard of living is too backward, not to mention the quality of life. The food and clothing … are barely enough to make ends meet. A life like this is not a life at all. "
"…"
"It'll be different in the United States. Once you're there, you'll have family! You'll be able to meet your biological father and fulfill his wish of reuniting with his family while he's still alive. You'll also get to know what a strong and generous old man he is. Even when he's sick, he's still optimistic … You'll be proud to have such a father! "
Chen Jiaxuan was very eloquent. She continued to persuade her daughter, "There's also the material aspect! If I were you, I'd choose to go to the United States. You can live the best life there. Just look at my father's business and real estate, and the business empire he's about to leave behind … You should also fight for it, right? I can guarantee that you'll live like a princess in the United States. You'll be able to call the wind and summon the rain, and no one can compare to you! "
"…"
"When you've reached the peak of your life, if you still want to come back to the mainland to pick up your child or even your husband, it's entirely your choice … When that time comes, you'll have a brand new and glorious life!"
Tang Xiling squeezed her daughter's hand hard. Although she didn't say anything, her eyes were filled with encouragement and approval.
Mi Xaing 'er looked up and fixed her gaze on her mother. She raised her hand and tucked her messy hair away from her temples. "Mom, listen to me …"
