Chapter 172 Dad Doesn’t Want Mom Anymore
"Daddy?" Xingbao was impatient, and when he saw that his daddy didn't say anything for a long time, he reached out his little hand and pulled the man's tie.
"Why do you suddenly want to look for mommy? Xingbao doesn't like daddy anymore? Huh?" Xing Mingyu closed the laptop, stretched out his big hand, and rubbed the top of her head as he usually did to coax her.
"Yes. Daddy wants it too, and mommy too. I want Chihiro's mommy."
Jiang Qianxun?
Xing Mingyu frowned.
How could they think Jiang Qianxun was the mother?
Or the biological mother?
Thinking of the two little ones' closeness to Jiang Qianxun, a look of sudden realization flashed across his eyes.
Now, they are greedily asking Jiang Qianxun to be their mother...
Xing Mingyu's eyes were deep, and after a moment, he opened his thin lips and said, "Life with only dad is the same as life with mom."
Xingbao tilted his head in confusion: "Why?"
Seeing this, Jingbao pulled his sister over with a headache, raised his little head and retorted: "No way! Other children have mothers, they have a lot of delicious food and toys, which are different from what daddy, grandma and grandpa give them. Mommy will also take the baby to the amusement park. Last time, Qianxun's mother took us shopping."
Xing Mingyu has a tall and slender figure, and his black suit makes him look even more solemn in the dark night.
However, his expression was not very good: "But mom can also be very strict, stricter than grandma. You should have seen other children go out to play with their mothers and see what strict mothers do, right?"
After raising my eldest brother's two children, my grandmother always spoiled them because their parents were no longer around.
Even if Xing Mingyu disagrees with some things, he chooses to turn a blind eye for the sake of family harmony.
Jingbao recalled that once when he went to a large amusement park with his grandmother, there were indeed other children crying and asking to buy ice cream and sausages. The children’s mother said that those were three-no products and would not let them buy them.
Some of them would cry and roll on the ground, and their mothers would be so angry that they would spank them. After the spanking, the mothers would just leave without even wanting the children anymore. The maid who followed them said, “See, this is what happens when you don’t listen to your mother.”
"......" Jingbao nodded ignorantly.
"Besides." Xing Mingyu paused, pursed his lips and said, "Your Aunt Qianxun is not your biological mother."
He had no intention of deceiving the two children in this matter out of kindness.
Xing Mingyu stared at them with his deep eyes, and his words became cruel: "All you need is your dad. Your dad will give you enough fatherly love. Your mom will never appear again."
His brother and sister-in-law will never come back.
He didn't want the brother and sister to continue suffering in the endless pain of waiting and anticipation!
Xingbao was stunned.
Jingbao was also stunned.
The big tears in the corners of her eyes seemed to have forgotten to fall because of fear.
After a long while, Xingbao said, "But, but..."
Xing Mingyu just stared at the two children quietly, and finally said with a rational look in his eyes: "Okay, Dad still has to work, you two should go out and play first, okay?"
Jingbao and Xingbao still had something to say, but seeing that his father didn't seem happy, he thought about it and decided to take his sister back to the room obediently.
I didn’t get to see Chihiro’s mother, and my father said that my mother would never appear again... Xingbao was very unhappy, and he started wiping tears as soon as he returned to the room.
"Aunt Chihiro is obviously Mommy, why does Daddy say she isn't! Wuuuuu."
Jingbao scratched his head in confusion: "Yeah, I found out it's true, and grandma also said that dad and aunt Qianxun are together, why does dad say it's not true?"
The little guy's eyes rolled around, and his face suddenly turned pale: "Could it be..."
Xingbao wiped away his tears and asked his brother: "Brother hiccup, what is it?"
Seeing his sister crying like this, Jingbao swallowed back the words that were about to come out of his mouth.
No, I can't tell my sister. If she knew what dad just said, that dad is a scumbag who abandons her after having affairs with her, is fickle, and doesn't want mom anymore, and that all his efforts to pursue mom were lies, she would definitely cry loudly.
Grandpa and great-grandpa will be back anytime. When my sister cries, everyone will come to care for her, and my sister can't keep it to herself...
Anyway, I must not let my sister know about this.
"Nothing. Dad probably lied to us because he didn't want us to disturb him at work."
"really?"
"Is that true? Young master, young lady, what are you talking about? Oh? Why is the young lady crying?" The nanny, Mama Li, came in from outside with two cups of milk. She saw the brother and sister talking and wanted to say a few words to them, but suddenly she saw the young lady in tears. She was so scared that she put the cup of milk aside and came over to ask nervously.
"It's okay. My sister is crying and wants to sleep. Grandma Li, please give her some milk so she can sleep."
Mother Li glanced at the two babies and made sure that they were not falling or arguing. Then she looked at the time. It was past eight o'clock and it was time for them to get ready for bed.
Mother Li did not suspect anything and brought two cups of milk to feed them one by one. She then played with toys and read picture books with them for a while.
Xingbao always believed what her brother said and thought that her father was just talking nonsense, so she soon forgot about the matter.
After washing up, she nestled in Grandma Li's arms and listened to her brother telling her stories from picture books. She fell asleep after just a few pages.
Jingbao also gradually closed his eyes.
Seeing that both of them were asleep, Mother Li put the picture books aside for them, took the water cups and went out to wash them, even forgetting to take the mobile phone on the table.
Soon, the small room became quiet.
After confirming that Grandma Li would not come back, Jingbao suddenly opened his eyes, and the words his father had said came to his mind again.
As he thought about it, his big eyes filled with tears, which dripped down his little face.
One drop even fell on my sister's hand.
Xingbao felt the water and his eyelids moved.
Jingbao was afraid that his sister would be woken up by him, so he wiped away the tear with his little hand, then quietly got out of bed, without even putting on his coat, and squatted behind the curtains barefoot, hugging his little arms, pouting his little mouth, and began to cry silently.
He was sobbing, when suddenly, there was a sound of the door opening.
Then the sound of Grandma Li’s footsteps and low voices were heard outside.
"Oh, my phone is really left here. I am so... Hey? Where's the young master?"
In front, Grandma Li screamed louder in fear. The next second, the curtains in front of Jingbao were drawn open. He raised his tearful eyes and met Grandma Li's surprised face.
"Oh, young master, why don't you sleep well instead of hiding here crying?"
When Mother Li saw that he was not wearing a coat, was barefoot, and his eyes were red from crying, she felt extremely distressed.
He didn't even care about his phone, he went over to get a tissue, and carefully wiped his tears and snot bubbles from his crying.
"What's wrong with the young master? Did you not eat enough tonight? Or are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere..."
"Shh!" Jingbao sobbed and lowered his voice, "Grandma Li, don't be so loud. If you wake up my sister, and then alarm grandma and dad, you will be scolded too."
Seeing that the young master was crying like this and still had the mind to think about her, Grandma Li felt a pang of sadness in her eyes!
This child is so sensible.
She couldn't help but lower her voice and continued to wipe his tears, but she could never finish wiping them. The tears were like beads that had broken off the string and kept falling.
"Young Master, what happened to you? If you have anything to say, please tell Grandma Li. Grandma Li will help you find a solution."
Grandma Li is the person who takes care of him the most besides his grandmother, just like a family member. Jingbao was sad and didn't know who to talk to. Now that he heard Grandma Li asking about it, he couldn't hold it in anymore and spoke out the grievances in his heart with a pout.
"Dad doesn't want Mom anymore."
Grandma Li was stunned: "Mom? Who is the young master talking about?"
The second young master doesn’t have a girlfriend yet.
But Jingbao was too sad. She told her close ones about her grievances, but she felt even more aggrieved and could only cry.
When he finally recovered, he no longer knew what Grandma Li had said. He only knew that he wanted to find Aunt Chihiro to ask her one thing.
Jingbao wiped away his tears and looked at Grandma Li pitifully: "Grandma Li, Dad doesn't want Mom, I want Mom, I miss Mom, can you lend me your phone so I can call Mom?"
Li Ma couldn't help asking again, "Young Master, who is the mother you are talking about?"
"It's Aunt Chihiro." Jingbao answered with sobs, and when he blinked, big tears rolled down.
Aunt Chihiro? Miss Jiang?
Aunt Li remembered that this person was Mr. Qin's girlfriend. She had been invited to the Xing family by the lady. Aunt Li recalled that she had added her contact information.
It seems that the young master is so lacking in love that he actually mistook Miss Jiang for his mother.
She suddenly felt more distressed for the young master and took the mobile phone from the bed.
"Give."
Jingbao took the phone, said thank you, stood up and walked out.
My sister is sleeping, we can't wake her up.
He went downstairs to fight.
......
On the other side, the Jiang family villa.
Although it was almost 10pm, Jiang Qianxun was still working, busy with Chinese matters.
She is not in the company during the day, but she still has to review Huawen's emails and plans.
"Zizzizi!"
Suddenly, the phone on the table vibrated.
She typed the last line with her slender fingers and pressed the ENTER key before she took the phone.
It’s an unfamiliar Beijing number, but it looks somewhat familiar?
If she remembered correctly, it seemed to be a number that Xingbao had called before. Later, she and Xing Mingyu became estranged, and this number rarely called.
Could it be Jingbao again?
But she looked at the time. It was already 10 p.m. The child shouldn't be looking for her so late.
Doubt flashed across her bright eyes, but when she thought of the two adorable and pitiful children, she hesitated for a moment and finally picked up the phone tentatively.
"Hello?"
There was no sound on the other end of the line.
"Hello? Who is this? Or is this a wrong number..."
Before the last word "了" was uttered, Jiang Qianxun heard soft sobbing. It was very quiet, but the voice was obviously that of a child.
Almost subconsciously, she knew who was on the other end of the phone.
"Jingbao? What's wrong? Why are you crying?"
She didn’t know if it was because she was about to become a mother, but when she heard the child crying, her heart almost ached.
On the other end of the phone, Jingbao still didn't say anything, but her sobbing sounded a little heavier than before, and it was heartbreaking to hear.
Jiang Qianxun frowned, her heart completely confused.
She recalled the time when Shen Lan sent her back to the countryside. She was only a few years old at that time. She was not used to anything in this unfamiliar place and was afraid of everything.
Her mother passed away, and her grandfather also passed away. The only person she could contact was Aunt Lan.
But she doesn't have a cell phone.
Later, Aunt Zhao, who had saved her life, felt sorry for her and lent her her cell phone to make a call.
At that time, after she got through to Aunt Lan, she clearly had a lot to say in her heart, but when she heard Aunt Lan calling her "Miss" in a trembling voice, she was speechless. She held the phone in one hand and used her sleeve with the other hand to wipe away her tears.
Although she didn't know why Jingbao was crying, she thought that Jingbao's current mood might be similar to hers at that time.
"Okay, okay, if Jingbao doesn't want to talk about it, I won't ask anymore."
"But Jingbao is crying so sadly, he must have encountered something unhappy, right?" She coaxed him patiently.
The crying on the other end of the phone became heavier.
"If we are unhappy, let's just cry it out, okay? Crying out those bitter and salty tears will make us feel better. Trust auntie, okay?"
Jiang Qianxun gently comforted the little person on the other end of the phone.
It's like coaxing my younger self.
at the same time--
The whole courtyard, study on the second floor.
After sending the two little ones away, Xing Mingyu went back to work. He didn't finish processing all the emails and documents for today until he frowned, closed the computer with tiredness in his dark eyes.
I took out my personal cell phone which was almost fully charged and saw that it was already 10:05 p.m.
The man stretched out his big hand and rubbed his forehead, picked up his phone and prepared to go back to the room. When he looked up, he saw that the light in the children's room on the opposite right was still on.
He frowned, remembering what he had said to the child tonight. He turned around and walked over, leaving the light and door of his study open.
To make Xingbao happy, the children's room was decorated in Princess Elsa's blue tones. The door was half open. Xingbao was lying on his side on the small bed with his little hand on the corner of his mouth. He seemed to be dreaming about something delicious, with a slight smile on his little face.
Jingbao was nowhere to be seen.
Nanny Li Ma is not here either.
His long legs paused as he was about to enter the house, and he turned around, and when he passed the corridor, his eyes inadvertently looked outside.
On the grass on the first floor behind the back door, Jingbao was squatting on the ground wrapped in a coat, his small body curled up into a tiny ball, holding a mobile phone in his hand, as if calling someone.
Not far away, Mother Li stood not too close but not too far away, looking at the child with eyes full of heartache.
When Xing Mingyu saw that small figure, his heart felt like it was pierced by a needle. Holding the phone in his hand, he felt helpless about the children looking for their mother, which he could have foreseen a few years ago.
He is not opposed to marriage, or even to a normal relationship.
But in daily interactions, he had no interest in getting close to any woman he saw, let alone starting a family.
After countless blind dates, over the years, he gradually came to the point where he saw all women as the same, and became so numb that he didn't even want to get to know them.
waste time!
There seemed to be many women willing to be mothers of two children, but he was unwilling to start a marriage just to fill that vacancy.
Perhaps deep down in her heart, she also longs for an ordinary yet passionate love like her brother and sister-in-law...
On the grass on the first floor.
Jingbao listened to his mother's voice on the other end of the phone. The more he listened, the more aggrieved he felt. The more he listened, the sadder he felt. In the end, he almost couldn't breathe because of his blocked nose.
But he didn't bother to find a tissue. He reached out and wiped his tears with his sleeve, and finally asked the question he had always wanted to ask while sobbing.
"Aunt Chihiro."
"Well, be good, Jingbao, Aunt Qianxun is here."
Hearing the gentle female voice on the other end of the phone, Jingbao tried hard to hold back his trembling voice, paused for several seconds, and then asked with a sob.
"Are you my mother? Did you give birth to Xingbao and me?"
After asking, he held the phone tightly in his little hand, waiting for Aunt Chihiro's answer.
