Chapter 1624: Expected or Available (18)
In the other direction at the entrance of the community, a tall and slender woman with long hair stood beside a red-sized car, quietly looking at Jingli in front of her. She could faintly see guilt and pity between her delicate eyebrows and eyes.
Jing Li stopped and stood there for a long time, finally shouted softly—
"sister in law."
Huo Qiran never thought that that woman would be Xixi's mother.
Jingli never mentioned it, nor did he ask, only knowing that something bad happened in her family, but only that Xixi's parents should be gone, so Xixi had to follow her aunt.
But it turns out that Xixi's mother is still there.
Huo Qiran sat in the car without moving. Then, he saw the woman slowly walking to Jingli.
Before this, Jing Li thought that Gu Wan would appear in front of her again one day.
After all, she is Xixi's mother and a close relative of her. How can she break it up just by saying it easily?
But she never thought about what attitude she should face her, and she never thought about how she would be calm when she really saw her.
No anger, no resentment, and no hatred.
She was just a little dazed, confused, and... scared.
Gu Wan stood in front of her, her eyes fell on Jingli's face. After staying for a long time, she finally reached out and gently touched her head, "You're losing weight."
Upon hearing this, Jing Li raised her eyes and looked at her for a moment, and suddenly smiled, "My sister-in-law hasn't changed much, she is still as beautiful as before."
It's the kind of beauty that my brother likes the most.
That's why they were so loving and happy at that time.
"Jingli..." Gu Wan called her softly again, and for a moment, she seemed to have no idea what to say.
Jing Li just looked at her, her eyes clear and pure, but for some reason, she didn't dare to look at each other.
After a moment of quietness, Gu Wan finally said, "I am back this time because I want to take Xixi away."
Jing Li looked at her, her eyes still clear, but she didn't make any sound again.
"Jingli." Meng Wan called her again, "I know you have worked very hard in the past two years... I was selfish at the beginning, but I was cruel, and I left Xixi alone... I'm sorry."
Jing Li looked at her but still said nothing.
"You are still so young, you can still pursue your own life. I...I can't continue to be selfish anymore. I am Xixi's mother, and I should take on the responsibilities I should bear."
After a long time, Jing Li finally said "Oh" softly.
Then, she looked at Meng Wan again, still calm, "Where has my sister-in-law gone in the past two years?"
Meng Wan raised his hand and stroked his wet eyes and whispered: "I have been abroad for two years."
"Why did my sister-in-law come back this time to take Xixi abroad?"
"No." Meng Wan said, "Next, I will return to Tongcheng to settle down."
"Oh." Jing Li responded again, then said, "Sister-in-law... has a new home?"
Meng Wan Jingjing looked at her for a moment, and finally nodded, "It's almost done. I'm going to get married soon."
"Then can the other party accept Xixi? Will he treat Xixi well?"
"Yes, he will." Meng Wan said, "He will accept Xixi, he will treat Xixi as his biological daughter, you don't have to worry."
"Oh." She responded again, and after a moment of silence, she said again, "Then congratulations, sister-in-law."
"Jingli..." Seeing her reaction, Meng Wan finally spoke, "Do you blame me?"
Jingli still lowered her eyes and did not look up at her.
Meng Wan looked at her for a long time and finally smiled bitterly again, whispering: "You are really amazing, stronger than me, braver than me, and more responsible than me... I know that in the past two years, you have not even continued to go to school in order to take care of Xixi... Jingli, thank you, thank you really. You have done enough, and you have eaten the hardships you shouldn't have endured... You should return to the normal life track... You don't have to worry about tuition, living expenses, and mother's medical expenses, I will all bear it... Don't worry... live your own life..."
After a long time, I finally heard Jing Li's voice again: "Sister-in-law, you are Xixi's mother. If you want to take Xixi away, no one has the right to stop him. I also believe that Xixi will live a better and happier life than following me. So, for myself and for Xixi, I shouldn't say anything. However, Xixi is still too young, I am afraid that she will not adapt to the changes in the environment, and her physical condition is not very good. She was still sick last year. I am afraid that you will suddenly take her away, and she will--"
"Jingli." Meng Wan finally couldn't recognize her and reached out to hold her, and whispered, "I didn't think about taking Xixi away immediately. I know that she also needs time to adapt to me and accept me... I just hope that you can not blame me, but help me..."
Jing Li looked at her for a moment and finally nodded slowly, "Okay."
In an instant, Meng Wan's eyes turned red again, and she couldn't help but raise her arms and gently hug her.
"By the way, I bought some things for Xixi. It's too late today. I can't go up and disturb my uncle and aunt. Please give it to Xixi for help, okay?"
"good."
Soon Meng Wan took out a big bag from the trunk of the car and handed it to Jingli. When she wanted to say something else, her cell phone suddenly rang.
She quickly answered the phone, said a few simple words, and said to the person on the other end of the phone: "I'll be back soon."
After hanging up the phone, Meng Wancai looked at Jing Li again and gently held her arm, "I will pick you up and Xixi tomorrow. Let's go out for a day together, okay?"
Jing Li opened his mouth and subconsciously wanted to answer that he had something to do tomorrow, but when he spoke, he stopped again, and he nodded slowly and said, "Okay."
"Then I'll leave first, do you go back and talk to Xixi?"
"good."
Meng Wan nodded again, "Then I'll leave first, you can go back early."
"good."
Meng got into the car in the evening, looked at Jingli and then finally drove away.
Jingli stood there, quietly watching her car drive away until it disappeared, and finally turned her head slowly.
This time, she glanced inadvertently, but she suddenly saw a familiar license plate. She looked up along the license plate and saw the familiar face of Huo Qiran sitting in the car.
He sat there quietly, his eyes falling on her, as if he had been looking at her for a long time and had seen everything just now.
After Jing Li was stunned for a moment, she smiled at him again.
