It was normal for the boys to play and fight.
The beautiful woman pulled him aside and scolded him harshly. That night, when his father returned, the beautiful woman did not forget to complain in front of his father, so he attracted his father's rebuke.
And that beautiful woman, was his mother, Guan Liwen.
This sort of thing happened quite often in his young age, but he only felt that it was normal.
So much so that his childhood had been in shadow, he had even wondered if he was their own flesh and blood. After he had grown up and become an elder, he had secretly investigated, but there were no clues at all.
In the midst of his dazed state, someone walked out from the crowd and called out to him.
"Master."
"Yes." Jin Zhannan's train of thoughts quickly withdrew, and his handsome face returned to its usual solemn expression. "What's the situation with the old mistress?"
"The madame is fine. The doctor gave it a closer look. It was most likely due to him going out at night and being hit by the wind, causing him to feel unwell and causing him to feel a fever. Now that I've taken the antipyretic, I should be able to get better tomorrow. "
"Yes." "Yes." Jin Zhan Nan nodded, the trace of worry in his eyes gradually disappearing. Listen up, don't mention what happened tonight to anyone, not even a single word! "
"Yes, I understand."
Jin Zhan Nan hesitated outside for a long time, but in the end, he didn't enter, and turned back to his own building.
The night was as cool as water.
The night sky was filled with stars, but it could not illuminate Jin's villa's castle-like palace. The quiet and quiet house was shrouded in a layer of thick shadow …
Lin Xiaoxiao brought Dabao back to the Lin Clan old house where they had met each other for the first time.
Looking at the familiar scenery and the house, he had the illusion that time was flowing backwards in his trance.
"Mama, are you tired? Dabao will help you carry the box. " Lin Dabao got out of the carriage and bowed towards Lin Xiaoxiao.
As the little guy spoke, he grabbed onto the handle of the luggage with both hands. Mo Ran's eyebrows were knitted together, trying his best to emit a humming sound, but the luggage did not budge an inch.
Lin Xiaoxiao laughed, and lowered his head, "Little fool, you are still too young now, come help Mama out with physical labor when you grow up. "How about it?"
While they were talking, the servants ran over to open the door. He Yongmei's figure followed closely behind.
"Eldest Miss, you're finally back."
The servants' surnames were Li, everyone in the Lin family called her Sister Li. Lin Xiaoxiao was practically raised by Sister Li, so their relationship was naturally deeper.
"Sister Li." She still used the way she used to be called, as if she was still that innocent girl from before.
"Eldest Miss." Sister Li was so excited that she started crying happily. Then, he shifted his gaze towards Dabao and said, "Yo, this must be the young master, right?"
"Dabao, quickly call me Aunt Li."
"Hello, Aunt Li." Dabao called out sweetly.
"Ai ai ai!" Hehehe … Good, good. Eldest Miss, Young Noble, quickly enter the house. The woman informed me that you would be back today, and I was too excited to sleep all night. When I woke up early in the morning, I cooked a lot of food that you loved to eat before. "
Aunt Li passionately called out, at this time He Yongmei also walked out.
"Xiao Xiao, Dabao, quickly enter the house."
At the same time, Aunt Li took the luggage from Lin Xiaoxiao's hands, and without saying a word, she walked inside.
Pushing open the door to the room that he had once been familiar with, Lin Xiaoxiao was shocked to discover that his own room was as clean as ever even though nobody had lived in it for many years. There was not even the slightest bit of dust or odor.
Aunt Li put in the suitcase and said considerately, "Eldest Miss, quickly sit down and rest. I'll go pour some tea for you."
Lin Xiaoxiao knew that all of this was definitely done by Aunt Li. She wanted to say something, but she saw Aunt Li's slightly plump body sway as she walked towards the room filled with water.
After not seeing her for five years, Sister Li had changed quite a bit.
Not long later, Sister Li came back and handed a cup of water to Lin Xiaoxiao. She said: "Young miss, ever since you left home, I have been cleaning this room everyday. I believe that one day you will come back. Therefore, I haven't moved all the decorations in the room. It's still the same as before you left. "
After Lin Xiaoxiao heard this, he raised his eyebrows and looked around.
Every item, every piece of furniture, even the tables and chairs were placed in exactly the same position as they were five years ago. If she had not experienced it personally, she would have suspected that time had never moved forward.
"Sister Li, thank you!" Lin Xiaoxiao could not say anything else.
Sister Li smiled and waved her hand, "Cheng! Young Miss, these are all things that I should do, what are you thanking me for? " A layer of faint sorrow emerged on Er Qing's face. Her pair of clean eyes were filled with mist, as if she was chasing after the days when water flowed past.
"Before leaving, Madam had repeatedly told me that I must take good care of you and treat you as my own daughter. But, I think... "I still failed Madame …"
As she spoke, she lowered her head and used her sleeve to wipe away the tears flowing from the corners of her eyes.
As for the mother who he had never met before, Lin Xiaoxiao also felt a bit of pain at the tip of his nose, and many different emotions rose in his heart.
Suddenly, a series of crisp kicks came from the corridor outside the door.
Sister Li quickly wiped away the traces of blood on her face, and then warned Lin Xiaoxiao.
"Xiao Xiao, look. There's something else in the room that needs to be bought."
He Yongmei came. She pushed open the door and walked into Lin Xiaoxiao's room.
"No need, stepmother, everything is the same as before. There is nothing else that I need to buy." Lin Xiaoxiao also stopped thinking, and returned back to his normal color.
The atmosphere in the room was affected by He Yongmei's sudden arrival. Sister Li was also embarrassed and silent for a moment.
He Yongmei seemed to have sensed something, as her sharp eyes continuously swept across Sister Li's body.
"Madam, First Miss, please have a chat. I went to the kitchen to prepare dinner. " Sister Li stood up, she bowed respectfully towards He Yongmei, then nodded towards Lin Xiaoxiao and left the room.
He Yongmei said indifferently, and walked to Lin Xiaoxiao's side and pulled a chair and sat down.
"Xiao Xiao, what happened to Sister Li?" It seems like there's something on his mind. "
Lin Xiaoxiao's eyes were watery, "He should be crying tears of joy because I'm back."
He Yongmei curled her lips in disapproval and said, "Crying from joy? Heh … "She's just an old servant of the family, it seems like you have a lot to do with her when you come back."
Lin Xiaoxiao secretly smiled, it seemed like this He Yongmei was still the same as before, there was no change at all.
"stepmother, Sister Li practically watched me grow up. If I can come back, this is how she should behave. "
With that, He Yongmei's mouth was stuffed. She seemed to faintly feel that Lin Xiaoxiao seemed to be very wary of her. Not only was Lin Xiaoxiao like that, her son was also the same. Dabao Lin's attitude towards her was completely unlike a child's attitude towards his grandmother.
On the contrary, both mother and son were on their guard against her, stealthily keeping a distance from her.
The corner of He Yongmei's mouth twitched in embarrassment. Seeing that she was a little unpopular here, she decided to not be so thick-skinned. She stood up and bid farewell to Lin Xiaoxiao, saying that she still had some matters to attend to and then left.
"Phew." This old woman is really annoying. " After He Yongmei left, Dabao Lin sighed and said depressingly.
Lin Xiaoxiao immediately stopped him, "Dabao, you better not say these words in front of everyone. "Even if it's in front of Mama, don't say it out loud, okay?"
"Oh!" The little fellow seemed to understand, but it still nodded its head obediently.
"Come, mom will show you the photo albums." Lin Xiaoxiao said as he led Dabao to the sofa and took out a thick photo album.
She told him about herself when she was young, her father when he was young, and her mother's appearance.
The old picture was a bit shabby and yellowish, but the woman in the picture was still as beautiful as ever, with red lips and white teeth. With her back against a large tree, she was as beautiful as an angel that didn't care for the flames of the world. It was not hard to tell from the woman's exquisite facial features that Lin Xiaoxiao had a bit of her personality.
"Dabao, do you know who this is?" Lin Xiaoxiao asked as he pointed to one of them, which was also the only picture of his mother.
Dabao looked at it, then raised his head to look at Xiao Xiao, "I know, she is my true grandmother."
Lin Xiaoxiao laughed, and supported his son's forehead, "So powerful."
Dabao was praised so he couldn't help but feel proud, his little mouth twitched as he said, "I knew that it was a fake grandma outside. Xiao Mama is so beautiful, my dear grandmother must be even more beautiful. "
Lin Xiaoxiao was so amused by the kid that he started laughing. She couldn't help but reach out to scratch the tip of his son's nose.
When his gaze shifted back to the photo, Lin Xiaoxiao's gaze couldn't help but sink a little.
In the past, she was young and didn't know how to react. Every time she felt wronged, she would sit alone in her room and silently stare at this photo. As he looked at this familiar yet unfamiliar face, his heart was filled with mixed emotions.
She had hated her.
He hated her for being irresponsible and abandoning him without a care.
Sometimes she felt very lucky. It was as if everything in the world had been predestined, and she was the only one who could protect him, making him happy and healthy.
"Mother Xiao, what are you thinking about?"
The tender voice of the Dabao came into his ears, causing Lin Xiaoxiao's thoughts to jump out of his head. She turned to his son with a slight smile. "Nothing. Mama just misses his mother. "
Dabao walked down, stood in front of Lin Xiaoxiao, raised his small head, and said with incomparable seriousness.
"Dabao is also thinking about his own Mama."
Lin Xiaoxiao smiled and hugged his precious son.
The dinner was very sumptuous. Although it was a family banquet, the cuisine department was comparable to a star hotel.
He Yongmei was naturally still extremely attentive, continuously serving food to Lin Xiaoxiao and Dabao. Other than these, she also asked a lot more about Lin Xiaoxiao. Such as work, such as life, such as the future.
Lin Xiaoxiao answered each and every one of them, his seemingly perfect reply containing a bit of estrangement. He did not tell everything about himself to this woman who made people think about him, this woman with ill intentions.
He Yongmei had some questions, some that she wanted to ask, but held back.
For example, her marriage. What were her plans?
Lin Xiaoxiao did not directly answer her, but instead concentrated his gentle gaze on his youngest son, Dabao.
"I have never thought about the future. At the moment, I only feel that being able to be together with the Dabao, I will be satisfied with anything."
Dabao shook his head and responded very happily.
"Dabao and Mama are together everyday. Dabao is very satisfied."
Everyone laughed.
After dinner, Lin Xiaoxiao brought Dabao back to his own room.
The night went on for an entire night. As Lin Xiaoxiao laid on the bed that he was once extremely familiar with, it was actually difficult for him to fall asleep no matter what.
He had been daydreaming for most of the night. It was messy and he had everything.
For example, work. For example, where was the Dabao's kindergarten?
Suddenly, Jin Beichuan's handsome face surfaced in his mind. Lin Xiaoxiao's sleepiness had also disappeared completely.
Why did he suddenly think of his superior?
Where was Jin Beichuan now, and what was he doing?
Would he be like her, and secretly think of her when he wasn't paying attention!
When this thought popped out from her mind, even Lin Xiaoxiao himself was shocked.
She was ashamed and frightened of herself for having such wild thoughts.
He hurriedly stopped his random thoughts, closed his eyes, and forced himself to sleep …
City G has a famous private hospital, covering a total area of about 30,000, built the year of the return of Hong Kong.
The environment in the courtyard was elegant, with birds chirping and the fragrance of flowers. The air was pleasant. Have foreign superb medical equipment, gathering the top doctors and professors in the world.
This private hospital also had a name, it was called Jin's's private hospital.
It was extremely eye-catching as he pulled the superb off-road vehicle into the hospital.
He was wearing a long black trench coat, which made him appear exceptionally slender and handsome. The man's expression was reserved and indifferent. His face was sharp like a knife and axe. His appearance was so beautiful that it made people feel that it wasn't real.
Hearing that Jin Beichuan had arrived, the President of the hospital personally welcomed him.
"Young Master Jin."
Jin Beichuan raised his eyebrows slightly, and considered to be a polite response, as if he was the type.
He pushed open the door of the high ward of the Special Inpatient Department, where the floor of the fine sandalwood was littered with broken pieces of porcelain.
"Clang!"
"All of you, scram!"
A man's voice, old yet still bold and domineering, was heard. The teacup that was thrown out immediately broke into pieces, as if it had a grudge against him.
He couldn't help but frown as he strode in.
"Old handsome brother, why are you getting angry this late at night again?"
Jin Beichuan walked into the main bedroom, and without caring about how many people stood beside him, or whether his elders were present inside, his long arms automatically pulled out a chair, and casually sat on the side of the bed.
To be able to act with such arrogance, and to act with such righteousness, there was no one other than him in the Jin Family.
