“Mother, why don’t you go? ” Jian Xiaomo asked as she looked at her mother’s expression.
“A banquet like that would make me feel uncomfortable, ” Mrs. Nangong said incoherently.
Jian Xiaomo knew that her mother was looking for an excuse.
“It’s just a simple family gathering. There won’t be any outsiders, ” Jian Xiaomo continued.
“I have a headache. ” Mrs. Nangong held her forehead and pretended to be uncomfortable.
It was the first time Jian Xiaomo realized that she had to learn how to fight with her mother.
“there is the best doctor in the manor. Mother, I will call the doctor now. ” Jian Xiaomo said as she was about to walk out.
She had to make her mother give in today.
Madam Nangong saw that Jian Xiaomo was about to walk out, so she immediately went up to Jian Xiaomo and said, “no need. ”
Jian Xiaomo pretended to be stunned as she looked at her mother.
Madam Nangong tried to squeeze out a smile and said, “Xiaomo, my headache is fine. How about this? The party is not held tomorrow. How about I give you an answer tomorrow? ”
Madam Nangong looked at Jian Xiaomo with a pleading voice.
Jian Xiaomo was stunned for a moment and then nodded.
“I want to rest, ” Madam Nangong said to Jian Xiaomo.
“Do you really not need a doctor? ” Jian Xiaomo asked again.
Madam Nangong nodded and forced a smile, saying, “I’m fine. ”
“Okay, I’m going out. If mother has anything else, call me. ” Jian Xiaomo pushed the door open and walked out.
Madam Nangong kept smiling at Jian Xiaomo until Jian Xiaomo left the room. Madam Nangong quickly walked to the door and carefully made a crack on the door. She saw Jian Xiaomo really walking toward her bedroom.
Mrs. Nangong sighed in relief. She closed the door, took out her phone, thought for a moment, and finally dialed the number.
Jian Xiaomo kept walking forward. She knew that there was a pair of eyes watching her from behind. She pretended to walk toward her room until she was sure that her mother had closed the door. Jian Xiaomo turned around and sure enough, her mother was gone Jian Xiaomo bit her lip and quickly walked toward a room next to her mother’s room.
After waiting for a while, Jian Xiaomo suddenly heard the door open. Jian Xiaomo was stunned and couldn’t help but poke her head out. Then, she saw that her mother had already changed into a new set of clothes and wrapped herself tightly as she walked out.
As Mrs. Nangong walked out, she was very vigilant and kept turning her head back. She covered herself with a gauze scarf, only exposing two of her eyes.
Jian Xiaomo had been hiding inside the door the whole time. She looked at her mother’s strange clothes and confirmed that her mother had left. Only then did Jian Xiaomo quietly follow behind her. Her mother walked very carefully and was always on guard against anyone following behind her Jian Xiaomo had been hiding until she left the manor. When her mother came to the garden outside the Manor, Jian Xiaomo immediately hid her body in a Bush that was difficult to find.
Her mother stood there anxiously, as if waiting for someone.
Jian Xiaomo hid herself well, only exposing her two eyes to look outside.
Suddenly, there was the sound of footsteps in the distance. Jian Xiaomo immediately held her breath and only opened her eyes to look in the direction of the footsteps.
When the figure approached step by step, Jian Xiaomo finally saw the person with the help of the street lamp. Her body suddenly stiffened.
