Start at the pet store

"Ah, my God, when did you prepare it? Why didn't I know at all..." Ji Ling was completely shocked.

"You don't need to worry about such a small thing. Sit tight and let's set off..." Lu Jingxing smiled and set off after seeing Ji Ling fasten her seat belt.

"But, but, I don't think we should give these to them..." Ji Ling slowly turned around.

"It depends on the situation. If the conversation is pleasant, I will give it away. If she embarrasses you too much, we will take it back..." Lu Jingxing raised his eyebrows and smiled softly.

More than an hour later, they arrived at Ji Ling's hometown. After her mother remarried, she remarried not far from her original home. Since her father left, the original home has fallen into disrepair and has long become a pile of shabby bricks. , she hasn't returned for a long time, and she doesn't even know when the last house collapsed.

Because her parents have been noisy since she was a child, her home does not feel beautiful to her. She does not miss this place at all, so when passing by, she did not even tell Lu Jingxing that this ruins was originally my home. .

It was just the feeling in her eyes that made Lu Jingxing look at that area twice more, and seemed to understand something.

But since she refused to say anything, he wouldn't ask any more questions.

As for her mother's home, she often sneaked over to take a look. After all, it was her mother. She would also envy others when their mothers loved them...

It wasn't until later that she learned that her mother had given birth to another child, and she slowly grew up and stopped coming here because the laughter in this family had nothing to do with her anymore.

Following Ji Ling's prompts, the two quickly found her mother's current home.

It was quiet at the door of the house. Lu Jingxing stopped the car and got out of the driver's cab. Ji Ling also got out of the passenger seat. Seeing her looking at the house in front of her with some hesitation, Lu Jingxing asked, "Is this it?".

Ji Ling said nothing and nodded.

This is a small bungalow. In the countryside, this is basically the type of house that looks like a copy and paste. It cannot be said to be high-end, but it can be considered a well-off family, and the life can be considered decent.

At this time, a little boy's head poked out of the window of the wing on the first floor. He looked straight at this side. The boy looked to be about five or six years old.

When her mother remarried, she was just in the first grade of junior high school. Calculating, this should be the child born after her mother re-established a family.

When the boy saw that it was Ji Ling coming, he shouted: "Mom, mom, mom, your daughter who is going to Tsinghua University is here, and she brought a boy with her..."

Lu Jingxing frowned. It seemed that her mother still remembered her daughter in front of him, otherwise he wouldn't have said this.

Ji Ling was even more surprised, because she had never seen this child before, and she still guessed his identity, but she didn't expect the boy to recognize her at a glance.

She bit her lip and said nothing. She almost wanted to retreat. It was clear that her father didn't care for her mother when she was little, so why should she come to her now?

Lu Jingxing walked over gently, took her little hand, and shook it hard: "Don't be afraid, we are here to solve the problem, and we are not wrong, so what are you afraid of..."

"Well..." Ji Ling tilted her neck and looked at the tall man in front of her who was illuminated by the sun. She suddenly felt that she had a backbone. She said playfully: "Don't take the gift for now. If she gets into trouble later, just According to what you said, don’t give me those gifts..."

"Okay... I'll listen to you..." Lu Jingxing smiled fondly.

Ji Ling's mother, who heard the little boy's shouting in the house, said loudly inside: "What daughter is taking the Tsinghua University entrance exam? What are you shouting about? She hung up on me yesterday. Why is she here? You don't know her..."

"I know her. Don't you have her photo in your room?" The boy retorted and ran outside: "You come to see it, that's it..."

Although she didn't believe it, her mother still followed and walked out.

The moment she saw her daughter, she was a little stunned.

It had been a long time since she had seen her daughter. Although she had changed a lot, she had changed so much from before that she was afraid to recognize her. She didn't even understand how her youngest son could recognize her at a glance. of.

After a while, she softly shouted: "Lingling..."

Ji Ling looked at her unfamiliar mother without saying anything or moving.

Maybe it’s because the child is older, and her mother doesn’t have the same momentum as when she saw her a few years ago, so she quickly said hello: “Come in, come in…”

Lu Jingxing held Ji Ling's hand, which was slightly sweaty, and walked in.

The furniture in the house is not very new, but it is quite warmly decorated and kept very clean.

Seeing that her daughter didn't seem to want to talk, she led them to sit down on the sofa and immediately went to make tea.

When Ji Ling saw her, she was in a daze for a moment. How was this different from the mother who scolded her every day on the phone and urged her to come back and ask her to go on a blind date?

At this time, she clearly looked so reasonable and courteous.

After making a cup of tea for each of them, she sat down opposite them.

The little boy sat down next to her and muttered something to himself, but no one heard him clearly.

Ji Ling put down the tea cup, cleared her throat, and seemed to have finally mustered up the courage to say: "You call me every day to ask me to come back. I'm back. Let me get straight to the point. I no longer need to ask you for tuition fees. I I don’t want you to kidnap my life in the future either…”

The mother made a promise, and after a while she said: "Aren't I just looking at the excellence of Aunt Liu's son next door? They heard that you were admitted to Tsinghua University and said that they are a good match, so I was thinking..." She Some dare not look directly at Ji Ling.

"You didn't care when I was studying and had no money. You didn't care when I was working and studying. You didn't care when I was having a hard time eating. Now that I'm admitted to college, you want to take care of life-long events again? "When Ji Ling heard her say that it was because she was admitted to Tsinghua University that she thought she was suitable for someone else, so she called, and she was so excited that her eyes turned red as she spoke.

"It's not...I..." Her mother was speechless by her rebuke.

"Who is here? Where did the car at the door come from?" a man outside asked loudly.

The boy who had been beside his mother immediately got up and ran outside: "Dad, dad, it's my sister who is here. She and her mother are quarreling..."

"What sister, where does this sister come from..." the man asked doubtfully.

He walked in quickly.

Because his arrival interrupted the conversation between Ji Ling and her mother.

Seeing Ji Ling and Lu Jingxing on the sofa, he seemed to be stunned for a moment, but he immediately reacted: "Oh, it's... Ji Ling? Her name is Ji Ling. Ha, your mother keeps talking about how awesome her daughter is every day, and finally she meets the real person. Ha ha..."

He glared at Ji Ling's mother: "Why are you still sitting here? The child is here, hurry up and cook..." The man is the mother's current husband.

Ji Ling's mother quietly wiped the corners of her eyes and stood up: "Hey..."

Lu Jingxing stood up immediately: "Uncle, aunt, don't worry about it, we'll leave right away. We came here specifically to tell you something..."

He took Ji Ling's hand and said, "My surname is Lu, and my name is Lu Jingxing. I now run a pet hospital. Ji Ling and I..." He raised their hands and said, "We are lovers, so in the future please Don't arrange blind dates for her anymore, I will be responsible for her..."

Ji Ling's mother and her husband both looked straight at Lu Jingxing.

"She is an adult now, and she can make her own decisions about her future life. As a junior, I should have come to visit you earlier, but because of Ji Ling's scruples, I chose today as the day. In the past two years, I have witnessed Ji Ling's Ling’s life is not easy for her.”

As he spoke, he glanced down at her beside him, and then continued: "She is really outstanding. She has suffered too much before. I don't want to say anything high-sounding. I just want to say that I will always be with you in the future." She, we will get married after she graduates. I came to meet her today just because I don’t want her to live under all the pressure you put on her every day. I also ask you to understand her..."

He spoke out what was on his mind in one breath, without giving anyone a chance to interrupt.

Ji Ling looked at him with bright eyes, saying that it was impossible not to be moved.

Ji Ling's mother was still stunned, but her husband immediately reacted: "What are you kidding about? We didn't arrange a blind date for her, did you?" He looked at Ji Ling's mother with an innocent face.

Her mother pursed her lips and murmured without saying anything.

Ji Ling didn't want to say anything more to this unfamiliar person, so she stopped talking.

"There must be a misunderstanding, there must be a misunderstanding. I'm sorry about what happened in the past. My conditions were not good before, and I really didn't help the child. You two are very good together. You are a talented and beautiful woman. Your mother will not object. Yes, right? Ah, mother..." He touched Ji Ling's mother hard.

"Ah, yes, I don't object..." Her mother only reacted after being hit: "Well, Xiao Lu, let's eat here. Auntie will do it now. Well, you said you were opening a pet hospital. Of? Then..."

Seeing that her mother was about to ask Lu Jingxing a question, Ji Ling stood up straight like a little lioness protecting her cubs: "No, we're leaving right away. We came here to tell you. As for whether you object, Whether you agree or disagree, it won't affect my decision. I just hope you won't make such inexplicable phone calls to me in the future. I'm over 18 years old, and I will make my own decisions about my own life from now on..." said Then, she pulled Lu Jingxing and walked outside.

It was actually the first time for Lu Jingxing to face a parent, and it was this kind of relationship, so he had little experience, so he could only express what he wanted to express, and then show his determination.

"Lingling..." Seeing Ji Ling and the others were about to walk out, Ji Ling's mother called out anxiously.

Ji Ling paused for a moment, then continued walking out without looking back.
