Zhou Qing pulled Ruan Bai into the living room and let her daughter sit on the sofa.
The nanny offered pastries, fruits, and tea.
Zhou Qing peeled a piece of fruit for her daughter and handed it to her, but Ruan Bai shook his head, took the fruit, and put it on the fruit plate aside.
"Mom, I don't have any appetite right now, so let's put it aside."
Sitting beside Ruan Bai, Zhou Qing took her hand, stared at her pale face, and sighed slightly: "Xiao Bai, what's wrong with you? Why do you look listless? Are you sick, or are you talking to Shaoling?" Conflict?"
"..."
Ruan Bai didn't speak, and stared fixedly at the water glass on the coffee table, his face turned even paler.
She shook her head slightly, but said nothing.
Zhou Qing touched Ruan Bai's head lovingly, and said softly: "I am your mother, what can't you tell me? Daughter, we are not only mother and daughter, but also best friends. What's the matter?" Tell me something, mom is your loyal listener. Some things are uncomfortable in your heart, why not tell me and let mom analyze and analyze for you. "
Ruan Bai lowered his head, not daring to look into his mother's eyes.
In the mother's heart, she has always been a sensible, well-behaved, seldom worrying child, with the excellent qualities of a Chinese woman, if she knows what happened that night, she will definitely be very disappointed in herself, right?
Mother was already exhausted because of Lin Ning's affairs. If she added herself, her hair would turn gray with worry.
Ruan Bai's gaze couldn't help turning to Zhou Qing's hair.
Mother's black hair, which was always black and shiny, was replaced by a few strands of white hair at some point.
She must not let her mother worry about her affairs anymore.
Zhou Qing looked at her daughter carefully, and saw that her eyes were flickering and hesitant, and she wanted to speak but hesitated...
She couldn't help but asked doubtfully: "Did Shaoling bully you? If he really made my precious daughter suffer anything, mother will go to him immediately to settle the score!"
"Mom, this matter has nothing to do with him, it's me, it's my fault..." Ruan Bai choked with sobs, biting his lips tightly, and after saying this, he shut up.
Ruan Bai knew that her mother had always doted on her. Although her mother had a gentle personality, she was aggressive and protective.
If she really went to Mu Shaoling, she would be the one who would be embarrassed in the end.
Seeing that Ruan Bai was in a bad mood, Zhou Qing guessed that her daughter might have had an awkward fight with her husband.
Holding her hand, she persuaded her earnestly: "Daughter, it is inevitable for a husband and wife to have stumbling blocks. You see, I have lived with your father for decades, and sometimes there are unavoidable quarrels, but we will each retire. One step, that's why I've lived a stable life for so long. Although my mother is not a very wise person, she still has a good eye for seeing people. Shaoling is a good child. He has been consistent with you for so many years and loves you very much. You , and don't be too willful."
The heat of the tea smoked into Ruan Bai's small face, reflecting her miserable expression, which made people look pitiful.
She covered her face with her hands, and tried her best to force back the tears: "Mom, don't guess randomly, Shaoling didn't bully me, it's my problem, it's all because of me..."
Zhou Qing hugged her into her arms and lovingly stroked her hair: "What happened? You tell mom that if you need it, I will help you even if I give everything I have. Even if I can't help you, there is still your father Well... child, no matter what happens, even if you don't tell Shaoling, you must tell your parents, your parents will always be your most solid backing."
Ruan Bai hugged his mother tightly, and leaned quietly on her shoulder, like a puppet that had lost its soul power.
She closed her eyes bitterly: "Mom, my happiness may be lost. I'm sorry for Shaoling, and I'm even more sorry for my baby..."
Zhou Qing's puzzlement deepened, and she patted her shoulder lightly, as if comforting a child who was throwing a tantrum.
Just as she was about to speak, she suddenly heard the sound of a car engine coming from the yard.
She stood up involuntarily and looked into the yard.
A black luxury car was parked in the yard, its body glowing extravagantly in the sun.
She saw Mu Shaoling get out of the car, the man's slender figure was stretched very long by the light, his neat short hair was unkempt, looking a little messy.
Before she could speak, Mu Shaoling asked directly, "Mom, did Xiaobai come to your place?"
"right.
Zhou Qing looked at him hesitantly: "Shaoling, did you quarrel with Xiaobai? That child has always been calm in front of outsiders, but sometimes he can't help but lose his temper when facing people close to him. Ah, take more care of her."
Zhou Qing is undoubtedly very satisfied with Mu Shaoling's son-in-law. Regardless of his handsome appearance, whether it is his work ability, character, or his love for his daughter, he is definitely first-class , City A couldn't pick out a few young people who were better than him.
Mu Shaoling stood there, silent as a bell.
Looking at the haggard Ruan Bai curled up on the sofa, his eyes were complicated: "Mom, it's all my fault. I made Xiao Bai angry. She was in a bad mood because she was not feeling well. I had a cold war with her last night." .I came here today to apologize to her. Can I go in and see Xiaobai?"
Ruan Bai shook his head desperately, pointed at Mu Shaoling with trembling fingers, and kept waving to Zhou Qing: "Mom, I don't want to see him now, let him go!"
She didn't want to see Mu Shaoling, as soon as she saw him, the strong sense of guilt in her heart would overwhelm her.
No one can understand her frantic and helpless mood.
Zhou Qing looked at Mu Shaoling in embarrassment. On one side was his beloved daughter and on the other was his son-in-law, neither of them would be easy to offend.
In the end, she, who was eager to love her daughter, still chose her daughter: "Shaoling, Xiaobai is not in a good mood today, I will persuade her later, how about... you go back first?"
Mu Shaoling insisted on walking in front of Ruan Bai, wanting to touch her hand, but Ruan Bai shrieked and avoided: "Don't touch me!"
The appearance of her hysterically resisting herself made Mu Shaoling inexplicably distressed, mixed with an unconcealable anger.
The hand that was about to touch her hair froze in midair.
He sighed, and finally withdrew his hand: "Xiaobai, everything is my fault, I apologize to you, don't be angry, it's easy to hurt yourself. You stay with mom for two days first, after waiting I'll come pick you up again in two days, and call me anytime you need anything. Mom, I'm leaving first, so I'll trouble you to take care of Xiaobai for me these two days..."
"Hey, good."
Mu Shaoling took another deep look at Ruan Bai, and then with a heavy heart, he left reluctantly.
Ruan Bai looked at his back greedily, the tip of his nose was unbearably sore.
Seeing her like this, Zhou Qing couldn't help criticizing her a few words: "You girl, you obviously have feelings for Shaoling, why are you messing around with him? You are the mother of three children, stop playing childish temper."
Ruan Bai said vaguely and desperately: "Mom, I... I'm not clean anymore, I was drugged the night before..."
The daughter's words were like a thunderbolt from the blue sky, and Zhou Qing was stunned in place, unable to recover for a long time!
