Bai Ruirui felt that she was going crazy and afraid of death. Her mother was really scary. At that time, she cried and asked her mother if she could bring her along, but her mother refused. However, her expression did not seem to be rejecting her. She kept looking at her and smiling, making her even more afraid.
Jiang Xinyuan listened and frowned. He felt that something was wrong. He thought about it and asked, “Are you very sad now? Do you feel like crying when there’s no one around?”
Bai Ruirui did not understand how Jiang Xinyuan knew so much. She bit her lip and nodded. Jiang Xinyuan pressed Bai Ruirui’s shoulder and forced her to look up. “Bai Ruirui, you can’t do this. Who else can help your mother?”
Bai Ruirui muttered to herself, “Help my mother? How can I help her?”
Jiang Xinyuan: “Your mother started to fall sick because your father wanted a divorce. If you don’t make a sound after being hit by her, wouldn’t you be sick with her? Then the two of you are doomed. Both of you are sick.”
Bai Ruirui frowned, not understanding what Jiang Xinyuan meant. However, she still retorted, “My mother didn’t hit me. She was just sick and couldn’t control her strength, so she pinched me like this. She didn’t do it on purpose.”
“Yes, your mother definitely can’t bear to hit you.” Jiang Xinyuan went along with her words and said, “She was just careless. If she knew that you would be in pain, her heart would definitely ache even more. So at this time, you should cry loudly to remind her and let her know that you are in pain. Think about how well your mother treated you in the past. If she recovers and finds out that she accidentally hurt you in the past, she will definitely feel guilty to death! Because she is only sick, she doesn’t really hate you. Perhaps if you cry loudly and cry out in pain, she will suddenly wake up and recover from her illness, turning back into your mother. ”
“Really?” Bai Ruirui was very hesitant, but if she spoke up, would her mother be even angrier?
“Try it first. Otherwise, can you think of a better way? There’s no other way! Besides, don’t be afraid of this being discovered. Children need their friends to comfort them, and so do adults. She says that she doesn’t like it, but in fact, they need their friends’ comfort more.”
Seeing Bai Ruirui nodding hesitantly, Jiang Xinyuan said in his heart: I’m sorry.
However, he could only do this. From what the bad woman said, Aunt Chen Xiaomei was about to die and might not be able to hear Bai Ruirui’s voice anymore. He taught Bai Ruirui to do this because he wanted others to realize that “Chen Xiaomei” was not good. At the very least, he did not want Bai Ruirui to continue being bullied. Otherwise, Bai Ruirui might really be like him in his previous life.
After a moment of silence, Bai Ruirui suddenly asked, “How did your mother recover?”
“It’s just that… one day… she recovered.” Jiang Xinyuan thought about it and made up an excuse with difficulty. “Mom said that she realized that I was very obedient and not noisy at all.” After saying that, he still nodded seriously and agreed with his point of view.
“I’m also very obedient. I’m never noisy.” As she spoke, Bai Ruirui wanted to cry even more.
Jiang Xinyuan: “… Oh right, if your mother asks you to do bad things, you must not do it. She’s sick now, and her thoughts are not her true thoughts. You have to judge what she’s saying now and choose whether to do it or not. Otherwise, if you listen to her now and do everything, when she recovers, she will think that you’ve become bad. She will definitely be sad.”
Bai Ruirui thought about it seriously before nodding. “I understand. Thank you.”
Jiang Xinyuan patted her. “You’re welcome. You have to keep this a secret.”
Bai Ruirui nodded. “I won’t tell anyone. I won’t tell my mother either. You can’t tell anyone about my injury either. Not even your mother, okay?”
Jiang Xinyuan stretched out her hand. “Okay, let’s pinky swear!”
That night, Chen Xiaomei was the last to bring Bai Ruirui to Room 4 to take a shower. However, the originally calm night was suddenly broken by the cries of a little girl.
Ever since Chen Xiaomei and her daughter arrived, Jiang Xinyuan had been listening attentively to the situation in the bathroom. When he heard Bai Ruirui’s cries, he immediately became nervous. Although the cameraman from their family was not around, the cameraman who took videos of Chen Xiaomei and Bai Ruirui was still around. This was because every night, he had to film the mother and daughter coming to take a shower and going back after taking a shower. This was just him in his previous life. He remembered that the director uncle had said that this was called material..
