He Jinxi stayed at No. 20 at Zheng Xiao's house for two days, and her assistant called her.

"What's the matter?" He Jinxi, wearing earphones, was helping Zheng Xiao cut the wood.

"Sister Jinxi," the assistant called her, hesitated, "someone came to the company to look for you."

"Let him call me." He Jinxi doesn't feel that she is from UM now, and she doesn't want to use UM's employees. Since she is looking for her, is she willing to answer the call and deal with it? knew.

"She said it was inconvenient to call..." the assistant finally said, "It's your mother."

He Jinxi was stunned.

Assistant: "I told you that you were not at the company, but she said that if you go out, you can wait. I said that you are on a business trip, and she asked me to call you."

He Jinxi let go, Zheng Xiao looked up at her, and stopped what she was doing.

He Jinxi looked down, looking at the beautiful wood grain in his sight: "Give her my cell phone number, and let her call me by herself."

"Okay, then I'll talk about it again." The assistant hung up the phone.

Zheng Xiao asked He Jinxi: "Who?"

"It's nothing." He Jinxi turned and walked out, "Don't worry, I'll come back later and we'll do it together."

Zheng Xiao didn't stop her, but said when she had stepped outside the door: "It's hot outside, you go to the kitchen."

With his arms covered in the sultry air, He Jinxi suddenly turned his head and said, "It's my mother."

"Yes." Zheng Xiao answered her.

The phone rang, it was an unfamiliar number with no notes, He Jinxi asked Zheng Xiao: "Do you think I'm cowardly?"

"No." Zheng Xiao shook his head, "It is courageous to stick to your inner choice."

He Jinxi smiled with the corners of his mouth pulled up, and then stepped back.

The temperature in the room was comfortable, He Jinxi sat on the sofa and said, "You can listen, your chicken soup is really useful."

"Okay." Zheng Xiao dragged the small stool aside and sat down quietly.

He Jinxi answered the phone, and it was indeed her mother on the other end of the phone. She started with "How are you lately" like many times in the past, and He Jinxi replied as usual: "It's pretty good."

The two exchanged a few words, and He Jinxi waited for her to get to the point, or handed the phone to the person next to him, and said, "Talk to your dad."

as ever.

But Wu Xiumei didn't transfer the call. She spent a long time talking on the phone today, and finally had nothing to ask, so she hesitated and said, "Xixi, where are you now?"

He Jinxi felt that there was no need to lie and say that he was on a business trip, so he said bluntly, "It's with my girlfriend."

There was a pause on the phone, and then it was quickly connected again: "Are you in Beishi?"

He Jinxi: "Yes."

Wu Xiumei: "Can I go and have a look?"

He Jinxi smiled: "Mom, what do you want to see? I don't think there may be anything you want to see here, just call me if there is anything you want."

It was quiet there for a while, and when He Jinxi was about to lose his patience, the voice picked up again: "I went to look for you where you live, but I couldn't find you."

There was some shame and embarrassment in Wu Xiumei's voice: "You said you didn't want to receive our calls, so I didn't dare to call."

"I really had no choice, so I came to your company to look for you. I have something to talk to you about, but it's really hard to talk about it on the phone."

He Jinxi took a long breath: "How many days have you been in Beishi?"

Wu Xiumei: "Two days."

He Jinxi: "Let my dad or my brother take you for a walk."

Wu Xiumei was in a hurry: "They didn't come, I came alone."

He Jinxi was a little surprised: "You came alone? Did they know you were here?"

Wu Xiumei: "I don't know."

He Jinxi looked at Zheng Xiao, and Zheng Xiao gestured to her, indicating that she could do whatever she wanted.

Zheng Xiao has always been like this. He Jinxi feels that she has really invaded Zheng Xiao's private territory. When this kind of thing happens, she will subconsciously feel that Zheng Xiao will agree, she will agree to everything she does, and she will support Zheng Xiao in everything she does. .

This made He Jinxi very confident, and there was always a pool of tender water in her heart, which made her feel that whatever happened was no big deal.

So she said: "Okay, we can meet, but only at my girlfriend's house, do you think it's okay?"

This is to express one's determination, to demonstrate, and to pull the relationship that is always on the opposite side.

But unexpectedly, Wu Xiumei said: "Okay, okay, it's good."

He Jinxi really wanted to ask her what was good, but in the end she didn't ask her. Anyway, the answer wouldn't be what she wanted, so why bother to make herself unhappy.

He Jinxi sent the address by text message, and the time was set for this afternoon.

After hanging up the phone, Zheng Xiao asked her, "What does Mom like to eat?"

He Jinxi took her hand and said, "Don't worry, she won't stay for long."

Zheng Xiao wanted to talk, but He Jinxi quickly changed the topic: "Are you addicted to cooking for others? Either I quit UM completely, and we will open a farmhouse here. You cook, and I entertain. As you There is absolutely no problem with the craftsmanship."

Zheng Xiao: "Success."

He Jinxi raised his hand and rubbed her head: "It's a yarn, I will let you run a farmhouse, and your fans must not eat me alive."

Zheng Xiao: "I have no fans."

He Jinxi: "I am your biggest fan."

Two hours later, He Jinxi met Wu Xiumei at the intersection, feeling that the whole scene seemed familiar.

She hid here with He Jinxi, probably besides enjoying life, she also had to face her own past, her own background, and completely break away from that gloomy story.

Wu Xiumei still exchanged pleasantries with her, asking if the weather was hot, it was inconvenient to eat, and if she hadn't worked hard recently.

He Jinxi answered one by one according to the real situation. When talking about Zheng Xiao's cooking, she smiled and said: "She is the best cook I have ever seen."

Wu Xiumei looked at her, and there was a complicated but faint light in her.

Zheng Xiao waited at the door, and when she saw someone, she bowed slightly and said, "Hello, Auntie."

Wu Xiumei straightened her back, she did not dodge like last time, she looked directly into Zheng Xiao's eyes, and responded to her: "Hello."

Zheng Xiao blinked and said, "Come in, it's very hot outside."

Wu Xiumei walked in with He Jinxi, and said: "I just came to see Xixi, and I will leave after a few words."

He Jinxi didn't respond, they entered the living room, and the room was still the same as before.Wu Xiumei's eyes wandered, she nodded and said, "It's pretty good, a down-to-earth house, much more comfortable than living in a high-rise in the city."

He Jinxi also felt the same way, and she generously praised her girlfriend: "Xiaoxiao always enjoys life."

Zheng Xiao asked her, "Auntie, what would you like to drink?"

Wu Xiumei waved her hand: "No, no, I just want to say a few words."

He Jinxi went to pour some cold water by himself, and put it in front of Wu Xiumei: "Mom, if you have anything to say, just say it."

Wu Xiumei looked at Zheng Xiao, and He Jinxi gave Zheng Xiao a god and did not let Zheng Xiao go.

Zheng Xiao also sat down on the sofa, right next to He Jinxi, Wu Xiumei waved her hand suddenly, as if she had thrown something away, and her tone became straightforward: "I think you are really good, Xixi has been getting fat recently gone."

Immediately after speaking, he added: "It's not that fat is ugly, but the cheeks are rounder, the complexion is better, and it looks more beautiful."

"Yeah." Zheng Xiao answered at this time, she turned to look at He Jinxi, "It's very beautiful."

Wu Xiumei's cheeks were a little red, she clenched her fingers, and said, "I'm here mainly to see you. There's something wrong with Xixi's work, but I don't understand. I have some money here, which was given by Xixi before... "

Wu Xiumei picked up the bag and took out a card and put it on the table: "The money may not be much for you, but there is one thing that can always be used in an emergency."

He Jinxi frowned and didn't speak.

Zheng Xiao held her cold fingers due to emotional fluctuations, and said to Wu Xiumei: "Auntie, there is indeed a problem with Jinxi's work now, but the problem is not serious. She can solve it by herself. When she needs help, I will help you." Will help her too. Financially we'll be fine."

Wu Xiumei's mouth moved, her expression sad: "But I only have this money..."

"No need," He Jinxi said at this moment, "I'm not short of this money, you can take it back."

"Xixi!" Wu Xiumei raised her voice, and tears welled up in her eyes, "Mom is old, and she can't do much anymore. The money should not be taken from you. You have been here for so many years, and all your income is I earned it myself, mom never gave you a penny, I really don't deserve you to be called mom..."

"Okay." He Jinxi interrupted her with a cold tone, "Don't act like this anymore, these words won't pose any threat to me now, talk about things if you have something to do, and talk about conditions when you have something to do, so that we won't be wasted each other's time."

Wu Xiumei also burst into tears: "I'm not trying to threaten you. I don't have any conditions. It was all my mother's mistakes before. Mom just wants to make up for it..."

"I don't want your compensation!" He Jinxi suddenly raised his voice, becoming emotional, "Why did you go so early! Did you say a word for me when I needed it! Now I don't need it! I have enough Money, I have someone who loves me, you can no longer threaten me..."

He Jinxi pointed to the door: "Go back, if you have anything else to talk to my lawyer, you have his phone number."

Wu Xiumei shook her head vigorously, she grabbed her bag, and didn't touch the card on the table again: "You don't want to see me, I won't bother you in the future. I just came to give you this thing. Me and your dad Divorced, we didn't live in your house, I really have no demands, no conditions. I'm sorry for you, I just hope you have a good life in the future."

He Jinxi's body started to shake, Zheng Xiao grabbed her waist to support her, He Jinxi was speechless, and Wu Xiumei didn't wait for her answer.

"Don't be angry, I'm leaving now."

She turned and left the house, her footsteps quickly disappeared into the yard.

He Jinxi's body trembled more and more, and finally he couldn't help but squat down and burst into tears.
