Feng Jun nodded with a sense of mission. He opened his arms and hugged Feng Fei. At the same time, he blocked Huo Ran behind him. It was his brother’s first request, so he had to do it well.
Tiang Xinvuan looked uD at the cameraman again. “Don’t come over too. Let me talk to Ruirui alone. We won’t go far. We’ll be nearby.”
It was a little difficult for the cameraman, but when he thought of the director’s previous instructions, President Jiang was still watching, so he agreed.
Jiang Xinyuan pulled Bai Ruirui to the side as he wished and avoided the crowd. He took off his and Bai Ruirui’s microphones and turned off the electricity. “No one can hear us now. Ruirui, if you have any thoughts, just say it.”
Bai Ruirui lowered her head. “They will see…”
Jiang Xinyuan pursed his lips and pulled her to hide behind a haystack. “It’s fine now. Look up. They can’t see us anymore. Did you encounter some problem? Tell me. One more person means one more solution.”
Bai Ruirui still shook her head and pursed her lips tightly, not saying a word. Jiang Xinyuan probed, “Do you feel that your mother seems to have changed these few days? She’s not the same as before.”
These words seemed to have touched something. Bai Ruirui suddenly raised her head to look at him, and tears began to well up in her eyes. Then, she lowered her head to wipe her tears and asked in a choked voice, “How… how did you know?”
Jiang Xinyuan found an excuse. “I think your mother might be sick.” Bai Ruirui raised her head and asked curiously, “What illness?”
“Depression.” Jiang Xinyuan sighed like an adult. He could not find a better excuse, so he could only use depression as an excuse. If he told Bai Ruirui that her mother’s body contained the soul of a bad woman, not to mention that Bai Ruirui would not understand, even if she did, she would think that he was crazy. In order to understand Bai Ruirui’s condition, he did not want her to become like him in his previous life and finally commit suicide from depression. He could only say this.
“Before I was five years old, my mother was also sick. It was depression. She didn’t seem to like me as a child. She never hugged me or kissed me.” Jiang Xinyuan slowly explained what had happened in the past five years.
Bai Ruirui was a kind little girl. Even if she was not in a good mood, she still felt sad for Jiang Xinyuan when she heard what he said. She could not help but comfort him. “I see that Aunt Fu Xin is very good to you now. Has she recovered?”
“Yes.” Jiang Xinyuan nodded and said, “My mother has recovered, so she treats me very well.”
Bai Ruirui bit her lip. “Then when your mother is sick, will she do anything else?”
Jiang Xinyuan thought about it. “She doesn’t like to let me get close to her. No matter what I do, she will scold me loudly.”
Bai Ruirui asked, “Then will she hit you?”
Jiang Xinyuan shook her head. “That won’t happen.” Actually, she didn’t dare to. That bad woman didn’t dare to let others find out that he had injuries on his body. Otherwise, his father would find trouble with her, so she could only use mental attacks.
Bai Ruirui lowered her head even more and kept tugging at the bow on her clothes. This dress was bought for her before her mother was sick. She liked it very much. At that time, she was very happy with her mother. Thinking of how gentle her mother was in the past, and now… She wiped her tears again and bit her lip, as if she had made up her mind. She lifted her dress and revealed her calves. There were bruises on them.
Jiang Xinyuan looked at Bai Ruirui in shock.
“My mother might be even more sick than your mother…” Bai Ruirui muttered softly. “Don’t tell anyone, let alone Aunt Fu Xin. My mother doesn’t like your mother. If she finds out that Aunt Fu Xin knows about her illness, she might be even more sad and sick.”
“Are there any other injuries on your body?” Jiang Xinyuan asked in disbelief.
Bai Ruirui shook her head. “I have some on my body. It’s blocked by my clothes.
Mom said that she’s very sad. After pinching me, she’ll say that she’s sorry… Mom said that Dad cheated on her and had another woman and child. They’re going to get a divorce. In the past, Mom always said that I was a little angel and the cutest baby, but now, she’s asking me over and over again why I’m not a boy. If I was a boy, Dad wouldn’t have gone out to find a woman! She even said that if her body hadn’t been injured when I was born, I would have had a
younger brother long ago, and Dad wouldn’t have gotten a divorce. Mom also said that if Dad really wanted to divorce her, she would commit suicide. Mom was so scary when she said those words.. She held my neck and leaned over my ear, telling me to live well…”
