I was dedicated by the female lead to the male lead

Xia Xiaomu stood at the door: "Thank you, thank you...Well, I'm here to get the materials."

Since Xia Qianbai finished talking about the past of the two, Xia Xiaomu didn't know how to address Xie Wen, felt rude, and scratched her ears in embarrassment.

Xie Wen didn't care at all, with a joyful smile in her eyes: "It's cold outside, come in quickly, I'll make grapefruit tea for you."

Xie Weiwan wondered: Who is here that can make aunt so anxious to greet her?

After a while, Xia Xiaomu's voice was heard.

Why is it him again?

Xie Weiwan was filled with various emotions, contempt, anger, and jealousy.

Did a man use some means to catch Lu Jinghan without telling him, but he used his identity as a neighbor to come here every day to curry favor with his aunt?

She admitted that Xia Xiaomu was indeed better at painting than her, but so what, she was from the Xie family, and she was born with a family halo.What does Xia Xiaomu have, isn't she relying on her face to seduce men and her mouth to seduce people?

Xie Weiwan threw away the paintbrush in her hand: I must let my aunt know what kind of person Xia Xiaomu is, so that my aunt hates him.

Xia Xiaomu was holding a cup of hot grapefruit tea, and as soon as she entered the studio, she saw Xie Weiwan sitting in front of the drawing board: "Student, is senior sister here?"

Thinking of Xie Weiwan's blood relationship with him, Xia Xiaomu became less. He tried his best to make his smile look friendly: "Don't be mean, I'm bothering my sister's drawing."

Xie Weiwan didn't look back at him, and said coldly: "I'm fine, just don't bother my aunt, she's usually very busy."

Xie Wen came in from the outside, carrying a bamboo basket, and hurriedly explained: "Don't bother, don't bother, come to Xiaomu and try the chestnut cake, it's still warm."

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 this cake, she peeled the chestnut shells herself last night, and her nails hurt when she peeled them.I got up at five o'clock in the morning and begged my mother to do it.

When it was just baked, the golden and soft chestnut cakes were fragrant and steaming, and the whole kitchen was full of the sweetness of chestnuts.

But because it was only five yuan, she held back her saliva and was not willing to take a bite.Packed it all up in an insulated lunch box.

In the end, my aunt actually gave it all to Xia Xiaomu!

She was pissed to death.

Gouging out a fierce look, Xia Xiaomu was eating chestnut cake.

Xia Xiaomu didn't know it at all. He ate a piece of crispy chestnut cake and drank a sip of refreshing grapefruit tea. He felt extremely comfortable.

Unable to bear it, he reached for the second piece and asked, "It's delicious, did you make it?"

"Eh?"

Xie Wen smiled embarrassedly: "No, my sister-in-law made it, but I should be able to do it too. I'll try to bake some next time."

Xie Wen's sister-in-law?

Isn't that Xie Weiwan's mother?

Xia Xiaomu's eating speed slowed down, she unconsciously looked towards Xie Weiwan, and happened to meet Xie Weiwan's slanted eyes.

Xia Xiaomu: ...

Now that he knew that Xie Weiwan's mother did it, if he suddenly stopped eating it, it would be more like targeting her deliberately.

Or... eat more.

Xia Xiaomu quickly took the third piece and stuffed it into her mouth.

Xie Weiwan felt distressed seeing it, there are only two yuan left, how dare you eat it!

Ahhhhh, she hasn't even tasted it yet! !

Xia Xiaomu was satisfied with eating, and Xie Wen liked it.

But I still reminded him: "Chestnuts are not easy to digest, don't eat too much at once, so take these two pieces home and eat slowly."

Xie Weiwan was dumbfounded, and Xie Wen took the remaining two yuan and was about to go out to pack for Xia Xiaomu.

She sneered: "Are you here to eat? Are you too free?"

Xia Xiaomu: "No, Professor Xie said he would give me a file."

He said with a casual smile: "Auntie's chestnut pancakes are delicious, thank you, senior sister."

Xie Weiwan cursed angrily in her heart: Why didn't you choke to death!

Eat enough, drink enough.

Xie Wen started to talk to him about business.

"Xiao Mu, this is the information for the European exhibition tour. It contains detailed dates, requirements for works, and precautions. There are quite a lot of them. You have to take a good look..."

Before she finished speaking, Xie Weiwan's paintbrush fell to the ground with a "snap".

She looked at Xie Wen with difficulty and asked, "Auntie, what do you mean by...?"

"Ok?"

Xie Wen was puzzled, and then smiled and said, "Oh, I'm going to take Xiao Mu to participate in this exhibition tour, and I have to leave after the Spring Festival."

European Art Tour!

Auntie wants to take Xia Xiaomu there!

She has been waiting for this opportunity for four years, and she is willing to go for herself, but now it turns out!

In an instant, all Xie Weiwan's emotions leaked out like she couldn't control it, she pointed at Xia Xiaomu, her eyes were full of unwillingness and anger, her tone was questioning, and she sneered coldly:

"Auntie, do you want... to give him this chance?"

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, this kind of art exhibition doesn't mean that anyone's work can be exhibited, and even the person I recommend needs to apply, and the exhibition can only be successfully exhibited after being approved."

Xie Weiwan's voice became sharp: "But you have already said that you will take him, and you still need to review?"

Xie Wen frowned: "Because I believe that Xia Xiaomu's work will definitely pass the review."

Xie Weiwan: "He is better at painting than me, but you treat him so well, what good can he do for you as an outsider! We are only one family."

Xie Wen's expression had changed, she glanced at Xia Xiaomu in a panic, and said hastily, "Wanwan, don't talk nonsense."

As a person who came through books, Xia Xiaomu really didn't have much feeling about Xie Wen being his mother.

But for the matter between Xia Qianbai and Xia Qianbai, from the perspective of a third party, Xie Wen is the one who makes people feel distressed the most.

She didn't know that Xia Qianbai was sick, or that he didn't dare to accept her because of his low self-esteem, but she just thought that Xia Qianbai didn't love her.

Even so, she accepted Xia Qianbai's request and stayed with him for nearly a year to conceive a child for him.This is a young girl, knowing that she won't get anything in return, she still promised Xia Qianbai without hesitation.

It is said that the moment a mother gives birth to a child, she will instinctively have a strong maternal love, and she will have a crazy desire to protect and possess the baby.

She endured so much pain, watching her new child being carried away by Xia Qianbai.The mood at that moment makes me feel distressed just thinking about it.

After so many years, Xie Wen may have let go of Xia Qianbai long ago.But every time he faced Xia Xiaomu, there was a strong expectation in his eyes.

Nineteen years have passed, and she still can't let go of the child that was conceived by her body and who is in the same blood as her.

And Xie Weiwan's questioning undoubtedly hurt Xie Wen again.

Xia Xiaomu took a step forward, stood in front of Xie Wen, and said seriously: "Senior sister, art creators have no distinction between rich and poor, only their own value recognized by the world. You also accepted it just now. I really draw better than you. That’s why Professor Xie recommended me to go.”

"And you use your family identity to bind Professor Xie to the family. Don't you think it's too selfish? Why should Professor Xie take you because you are her niece? If everyone is like you Thoughts, so what is an art show? A family reunion?"

Xie Weiwan's face turned pale with anger: "There's no place for you to speak here, what are you, isn't it just Zhang's prettiness, who hooked up with Lu Jinghan? Don't you feel sick? Don't even think about it just because you are a poor student, How can you live in such a villa area and be my aunt's neighbor?"

Xie Wen was angry, and her voice was stern: "Wanwan, shut up!"

Xie Weiwan: "Auntie, I..."

Xie Wen let out a long breath, trembling: "You go home, you have nothing to do in the future, try to avoid running to me, I will be very busy in the future."

Xie Weiwan thought she had heard wrong, she asked again: "Auntie, you, you really let me go?"

"Yes, go back."

Xie Weiwan left with unwillingness and resentment, because she didn't know where she was wrong.

Xie Wen didn't get any better, Xie Weiwan's scolding Xia Xiaomu's words pierced her heart, making her angry and uncomfortable.

Xia Xiaomu persuaded her in a low voice: "Don't be angry, I don't care at all what she said, and you 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 and talent, and you are worthy of the best people. Only No one else is worthy of you."

Xie Wen became more excited as she spoke, Xia Xiaomu quickly stopped her: "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."

Xie Wen was stunned, and asked slowly: "What did your father tell you..."

Xia Xiaomu: "Just... what happened to you before, and what happened to me, he blamed himself and regretted..."

"You know it too, don't you?"

Xie Wen's eye circles gradually turned red, and then tears rolled down, sobbing non-stop:

"...I regret it so much. I regret leaving you behind. I didn't know that Xia Qianbai was sick. How did you grow up with him all these years? You must have suffered a lot...Do you hate me?"

Maybe it was because I had endured it for too long, was too sad, and at this moment all my emotions burst out.The flood from Xie Wen's tears poured out, and what was not wiped off fell to the ground drop by drop.

When Xia Qianbai was crying, Xia Xiaomu would rationally go up to comfort him.But when he saw Xie Wen crying, he panicked: "You, don't cry."

He looked around for a tissue and handed it to Xie Wen: "How can I hate you? Look, I'm growing well too."

"... Where is it?"

Xie Wen kept wiping away her tears, crying uncontrollably.

It took a while to slow down, but looking at Xia Xiaomu's expression, he no longer concealed it, his eyes were straightforward, with a loving and distressed expression:

"He definitely doesn't know how to take care of children. It must be because he didn't let you eat well when he was a child. When it was time to grow up, he didn't keep up with nutrition..."

Xia Xiaomu: ...

After that, the two talked a lot.Xie Wen seemed to ask endless questions, about life, about studies, when he was a child, and even asked if anyone bullied him in school.

Xia Xiaomu couldn't laugh or cry about many questions.He just tried to tell him what happened to the original owner when he was a child, he didn't know, and if he prevaricated with a few words, Xie Wen still listened very seriously.

As for the touring art exhibition, Xie Wen didn't think of explaining it to him until lunch time.

After discussing the theme of the work and the size of the oil painting, Xie Wen wanted to leave him in her studio to try to draw a frame first, but now Xia Xiaomu is facing the most pressing problem--

He has to get a passport.

Otherwise how to go to Europe.

~~~

Sitting in Lu Jinghan's car, Xia Xiaomu said, "I can do this kind of trivial matter by myself, and you can take me there anyway."

Lu Jinghan: "I just happened to be resting. I have contacted the person. I don't need to queue up to hand in the materials and take photos. It will be over soon. After the passport is seated, I will send someone to get it back for you."

Xia Xiaomu leaned on the seat and complimented against her will: "It feels good to be covered by someone, and I have the privilege of not having to wait in line for work."

Lu Jinghan: "What's wrong? Are you unhappy?"

After hearing about Xia Qianbai and Xie Wen, Xia Xiaomu was very touched.The two clearly liked each other at the time.

But it was because they didn't make it clear that it led to the tragedy of so many years.

Xia Xiaomu sighed: "From now on, we don't hide anything, okay?"

"Haven't I already told you about this? I won't keep it from you."

Xia Xiaomu: "But now I will tell you whatever is on my mind, but you never tell me what is going on around you."

Taking advantage of the red light, Lu Jinghan turned his head and asked him with a smile, "What do you want to hear?"

"As far as the things around you every day, is there any unpleasantness, is there any pressure at work? What do you want most in your heart?"

"What else can I think of besides thinking of you?"

Unpleasant things, work pressure, and negative news, he just needs to bear it alone, and just give Xiao Mu the happiest ones.

Here it is again!

Xia Xiaomu said dissatisfied: "I knew you would say that, forget it, I won't ask, if you want me to know what's wrong with you, if you don't tell me, I will definitely not forgive you."

Lu Jinghan stretched out his hand to Shun Shun Mao: "Don't worry, I really won't hide anything from you."

Bored, Xia Xiaomu began to look through the documents in the drawer of his car, and a piece of paper that looked familiar fell out.

Ok?

Xia Xiaomu hurried to pick it up.

Lu Jinghan, who was driving, immediately became vigilant, and when he reached out to grab it, Xia Xiaomu had already grabbed it.

Finished!

He panicked, and shouted with a flattering smile: "Xiao Mu..."
