Chapter 90(1/2)
Xia Xiaomu stood at the door: "Thank you, thank you... that, I'm here to get the information."
Since Xia Qianbai finished talking about the past between the two, Xia Xiaomu didn't know what to call Xie Wen. She felt it was impolite and grabbed her ears in embarrassment.
Xie Wen didn't care at all, and she had a happy smile in her eyes: "It's cold outside, come in quickly, I'll make you grapefruit tea."
Xie Weiwan wondered: Who is here? Can my aunt be so anxious to greet her?
In a short while, Xia Xiaomu's voice was heard.
Why is it him again?
Xie Weiwan was filled with all kinds of emotions, contempt, anger, and jealousy.
Did a man, who didn't know what method he used to capture Lu Jinghan, even used his neighbor's identity to come to please his aunt every day?
She admitted that Xia Xiaomu was indeed better than her, but so what? She is a member of the Xie family and has a family aura since she was born. What is Xia Xiaomu? Isn’t it just to charm men with a face and make people happy with her mouth?
Xie Weiwan threw away the brush in her hand: She must let her aunt know what kind of person Xia Xiaomu is and make her hate him.
Xia Xiaomu held a cup of hot grapefruit tea. As soon as she entered the studio, she saw Xie Weiwan sitting in front of the painting board: "Study, are you here too?"
When he thought that Xie Weiwan had some blood relationship with him, Xia Xiaomu was less, and he tried to make his smile look friendly: "No, I'll disturb my senior sister's painting."
Xie Weiwan didn't look back at him and said coldly: "I'm fine, just don't bother my aunt, she is usually very busy."
Xie Wen came in from outside, carried a bamboo basket, and hurriedly explained: "Don't disturb, don't disturb, come to Xiaomu to taste the chestnut cake, it's still warm now."
Xie Weiwan:!!!
The chestnut cake she brought!
In order to find an excuse to come to Xie Wen's house, she remembered that Xie Wen liked to eat chestnut cakes.
For the sake of this cake, she personally peeled the chestnut shell last night, and the nails she peeled were hurt. She got up at around 5 o'clock in the morning and begged her mother to make it.
When the golden and soft chestnut cakes were just baked, the whole kitchen was filled with the sweetness of chestnuts.
But because she only had five yuan, she endured her saliva and was not willing to take a bite. She put it all in a thermal lunch box and brought it over.
As a result, my aunt actually gave it to Xia Xiaomu!
She was so angry that she was terrified.
He glanced at Xia Xiaomu, who was eating chestnut cakes.
Xia Xiaomu was completely unaware of it, so she ate a crispy chestnut cake and drank a sip of refreshing grapefruit tea. It was so comfortable.
I couldn't help but reach out to grab the second piece and asked, "It's so delicious, did you make it?"
“Hey?”
Xie Wen smiled embarrassedly: "No, it was made by my sister-in-law, but I should be able to make it too. I'll try to bake it out next time."
Xie Wen’s sister-in-law?
Isn’t that Xie Weiwan’s mother?
Xia Xiaomu's speed of eating cakes slowed down and looked at Xie Weiwan unconsciously, and happened to meet Xie Weiwan's slanted eyes.
Xia Xiaomu:...
Since I knew it was made by Xie Weiwan's mother, if I suddenly put it down and stopped eating, it would seem like I was deliberately targeting her.
Or...eat more.
Xia Xiaomu quickly took the third piece and stuffed it into her mouth.
Xie Weiwan felt distressed when she saw it. There were only two pieces left, so you still dare to eat it!
Ahhhh, she didn't taste it yet!!
Xia Xiaomu was satisfied with eating, but Xie Wen liked it.
But he still reminded him: "Chestnuts are not easy to digest, so don't eat too much in one go. This way, you can take these two pieces home and eat them slowly."
Xie Weiwan was stunned. Xie Wen took the remaining two pieces and wanted to go out to pack Xia Xiaomu.
She sneered: "You are here to eat? Are you too idle?"
Xia Xiaomu: "No, Professor Xie said he wanted to give me some information."
He smiled casually and said, "The chestnut cakes made by Auntie are so delicious, thank you senior."
Xie Weiwan cursed in anger: Why didn’t you choke to death?
Have eaten enough and drunk enough.
Xie Wen began to talk to him about the important matters.
"Xiao Mu, this is the information for the exhibition tour in Europe. The detailed dates, work requirements, and precautions are written on it. There are quite a few pictures. You have to take a good look..."
Before she could finish her speech, Xie Weiwan's brush fell to the ground with a "bang".
She looked at Xie Wen with difficulty in self-confidence and asked, "Aunt, what do you mean?"
"Um?"
Xie Wen was puzzled and then smiled and said, "Oh, I'm going to take Xiaomu to this tour exhibition. I have to set off after the Spring Festival."
European art exhibition!
My aunt wants to take Xia Xiaomu there!
She has been waiting for this opportunity for four years and is willing to go for sure, but now it is!
In an instant, Xie Weiwan's emotions were leaking like she could not control her emotions. She pointed at Xia Xiaomu, her eyes were full of reluctance and anger, and she questioned her tone, and a cool sneer:
"Aunt, you want to... give him this opportunity?"
Xie Wen looked at Xie Weiwan strangely for a while before she understood what she meant. She put down the information and said earnestly:
"Wanwan, such an art exhibition does not mean that anyone can exhibit any work, and even the person I recommend needs to apply and pass the review before it can be successfully exhibited."
Xie Weiwan's voice became sharp: "But you have already said you want to take him there, and will you still need to review?"
Xie Wen frowned: "Because I believe that Xia Xiaomu's works will definitely pass the review."
Xie Weiwan: "He painted better than me, but you are so kind to him. What benefits can he give you as an outsider? We are just a family."
Xie Wen had changed her face. She looked at Xia Xiaomu in panic and said hurriedly: "Wanwan, don't talk nonsense."
As a person who came through books, Xia Xiaomu did not have much feelings about Xie Wen's mother.
But from the perspective of the third party, Xie Wen is the one who feels most distressing.
She didn't know that Xia Qianbai was sick, she didn't know that he didn't dare to accept her because of his inferiority, but she just thought that Xia Qianbai didn't love her.
Even so, he accepted Xia Qianbai's request and spent nearly a year with him to give birth to his children. This is a young girl. She knew she would not get any rewards, but she still agreed to Xia Qianbai without hesitation.
It is said that when a mother gives birth to a child, she will instinctively develop strong maternal love, and will be almost crazy about protecting and possessive to the baby.
She endured the pain and looked at the child she had just given birth and was taken away by Xia Qianbai. The mood at that moment was heartbreaking.
After so many years, Xie Wen may have let go of Xia Qianbai long ago. But every time she faces Xia Xiaomu, she has strong expectations in her eyes.
The nineteenth has passed, but she still can't let go of the children that she has conceived in her body and are in line with her bloodline.
Xie Weiwan's question undoubtedly hurt Xie Wen again.
Xia Xiaomu took a step forward, stood in front of Xie Wen, and said seriously: "Senior sister, the artist has no origin in the first place, the rich and the poor, only the value of being recognized by the world, you have just accepted it. I really painted it better than you. That's why Professor Xie recommended me to go."
"When you take your family identity and bind Professor Xie, don't you think it's too selfish? Why should Professor Xie take you with you because you are her niece? If everyone has the idea of you, then what has the art exhibition become? Is family gathering?"
Xie Weiwan's face turned pale with anger: "There is no place for you to speak here? What are you? Isn't it just a good-looking thing for Zhang? Didn't you feel disgusting? Don't you think about it? You are a poor student, what are the abilities to live in such a villa area to be neighbors with my aunt?"
Xie Wen was angry and said harshly: "Wanwan, shut up!"
Xie Weiwan: "Aunt, I..."
Xie Wen exhaled a long breath, with some vibrato: "You go home, there is nothing to do in the future. Try to run to me as little as possible. I will be very busy in the future."
Xie Weiwan thought she heard the wrong thing, so she asked again: "Aunt, you, did you really let me go?"
"Yes, go back."
Xie Weiwan left, with reluctance and resentment, because she had no idea where she was wrong.
Xie Wen was not much better either. Every word Xie Weiwan scolded Xia Xiaomu was touching her heart, making her angry and uncomfortable.
Xia Xiaomu whispered to her: "Don't be angry, I don't care at all what she said, and don't care either."
Xie Wen: "Don't believe her nonsense. You are not that kind of person. You are worthy of anyone, including Lu Jinghan. No, you have status, talent, and the best person, only others are not worthy of you."
Xie Wen became more and more excited as she spoke. Xia Xiaomu quickly stopped her words: "I know, I know, my dad told me something. And even if I don't know, I know my ability, I don't think I will lose to Brother Jing Han at all."
Xie Wen was stunned and asked slowly: "What did your dad say to you..."
Xia Xiaomu: "Just... what happened before and what happened to me, he blamed himself and regretted..."
"You know everything, do you?"
Xie Wen's eyes gradually turned red, and then tears rolled down, sobbing constantly:
"...I regret it so much, I regret leaving you. I don't know that Xia Qianbai is sick. How did you grow up with him over the years? I have suffered a lot... Do you hate me?"
