Xia Chenglin comforted her and said,” The doctor said that your mother’s current condition is similar to that of a child. However, she can actually listen to everything you say, and she understands it in her heart. It’s just that, psychologically, she’s very resistant to communicating with the outside world. So don’t worry. When you have nothing to do, talk to your mother more. Deep down, she knows that your daughter cares about her.”
Xia Xiaoli frowned slightly.” But I keep feeling that Mom doesn’t treat me as her daughter…”
“You still care about that incident when you were young?”Xia Chenglin frowned and comforted her,” Your mother was in the worst mental state at that time, so she often got the wrong person. Don’t take it to heart.””
Xia Xiaoli nodded, picked up a piece of rice with her chopsticks, and put it in her mouth. She asked again,” Dad, I don’t think I’ve heard you talk about Mom’s family. Is Mom an only child? Do you have any siblings?”
Xia Chenglin couldn’t help but be stunned.” Why did you suddenly ask this question?””
Xia Xiaoli forced a smile.” I’m just curious! I’m the only daughter of my parents. Uncle also gave birth to two sons, so I’m especially envious of other people’s sisters taking care of each other…”
“Haha.” Xia Chenglin smiled.” Your mother does have a younger sister, but…”
Xia Xiaoli couldn’t help but be shocked. Her mother actually had a younger sister? She asked,”Then…” Where was his aunt? Why have I never heard you mention this before?”
Xia Chenglin looked at her and hesitated. Finally, he said,” Your aunt’s personality is a little strange. She committed suicide and passed away more than 20 years ago.”
“Suicide?” Xia Xiaoli’s eyes widened in disbelief.” Why did Aunt commit suicide? Dad, did Mom get depression because of this?”
Xia Chenglin sighed dejectedly and put down his chopsticks.” These are all grudges from my past life. Besides, it’s not something to be proud of. Let’s not talk about it.” In short, Xiaoli, your mother has been very unhappy all these years. There are some areas where she hasn’t taken care of you. You should be more understanding. If there’s anything, just look for me. I’m definitely on your side!”
Xia Xiaoli still wanted to ask about what happened back then, but Xia Chenglin waved his hand and said,” Hurry up and eat. After you’re done eating, go home. You’re already married to someone else’s wife. You should stop coming home.””
She pursed her lips and could only put her question aside for the time being.
Neither of them had much appetite. After eating, they barely touched the dishes.
Xia Xiaoli thought of something. She walked into the kitchen and took out an insulated lunch box. She poured the vegetables that were almost untouched into it.
Xia Chenglin smiled.’Is it really girls going out?’
He instructed the servants to clean up the dishes before he got up and went upstairs.
Xia Xiaoli, on the other hand, drove back to Fragrant Tide Garden happily with the thermal box.
After opening the door, only the servant was at home in the huge room.
She threw her bag on the sofa, picked up her phone, and dialed Helian Xun’s number.
“Hello, Honey?” Helian Xun’s voice came from the other end in a daze. His voice was clear and moist, but it seemed to carry a trace of unconsciousness. However, it was obvious that he was in a very good mood.
“Ah Xun, where are you? Have you had dinner yet? When will you be back?” Xia Xiaoli touched the lunch box and asked coquettishly.
“Oh, I’m outside. I have a social gathering. What’s wrong?”Helian Xun’s voice was very gentle, but at this moment, Xia Xiaoli vaguely heard a woman’s coquettish voice from the other end.
“Where are you socializing? Did you drink again?” Her heart trembled as she asked.
“I was at a clubhouse. I just drank a little. What’s wrong?”Helian Xun’s voice began to sound a little impatient.
“You…” Xia Xiaoli’s lips trembled as she hung up the phone.
He stood up and picked up the thermal lunch box. He strode into the room, opened the lid, and poured the whole dish that was still warm into it.
She threw the lunchbox into the sink and walked out with a frown.
Helian Xun hung up the phone, frowning slightly.
“Mr. Helian?” The middle-aged man in his forties looked at him in confusion.” What’s wrong? Did my wife call?”
Helian Xun smiled and placed the phone on the coffee table.” You’re too strict.”” “Hehe, it’s good to be strict. It means that he cares about you.”The middle-aged man picked up the beer and poured it into his mouth. Beside him was a bare-chested woman.
Helian Xun picked up the wine in front of him and lightly pecked at it, intentionally or unintentionally.
The entire room was in an uproar. Only his gaze was cold.
The ladies around him looked at his seductive face, but they were also frightened by the coldness he emitted and did not dare to approach him.
Director Chen, who was in charge of the organizing committee, also came to his side with a glass of wine. He reached out and patted his shoulder. His eyes signaled to the women around him and asked,” What’s wrong? Not a single one?”
Helian Xun sneered and said,” What’s so good about these trash?””
“Oh?” President Chen raised his eyebrows.” Then tell me, what kind of girl do you like? I’ll help you look for it.”
Helian Xun narrowed his eyes slightly and said,” Big eyes, black hair, fair skin, no makeup…”
“Is that all?” President Chen was a little surprised.
At this time, Helian Xun spoke again,” Surname Su…”
“Good!” President Chen put down his cup and stood up.” Little brother, wait for me.””
Helian Xun watched him leave, her eyes filled with drunkenness.
Chen Juanqi crossed his arms and looked at the women in heavy makeup.” Is there anyone surnamed Su among you?” he asked.”
The women looked at each other. Those who came here to work were all using fake names. Who dared to use their real names?
“Accompany a buddy of mine for one million a night. There’s only one requirement.”Chen Juanqi smiled wickedly and drew a finger in the air.
“It’s me.” A small fair hand was raised high, and a soft voice came from the whispers of the women..
