Chapter 156: Stepmother's son (09)
World Six, Stepmother's son (09)
In fact, Ding Rou may not even know if Jiang Ping Yang is staying in the country or abroad, and what he is doing.
This was also the most puzzling information that Xue Xue got from Xue Mi's memory. Human hearts are biased, and it is impossible to be impartial. Besides, Jiang Anyang has lived with Ding Rou since he was a child, and it is not surprising that Ding Rou will treat him better.
However, if Ding Rou is the gentlest and most competent mother in the world for Jiang Anyang, then Ding Rou is probably the coldest and most derelict mother in the world for Jiang Pingyang.
It is not commmon to see differential treatment, but it is rare to see such a level of differential treatment. Moreover, according to common sense, a mother may not be close to her child who is not around her all the year round, but she will feel somewhat apologetic. However, Ding Rou has no such intention towards Jiang Pingyang.
In Xue Mi's memory, the last time the name Jiang Pingyang appeared was more than half a year ago, less than two weeks before Ding Rou's birthday, and it was Xue Wangui who mentioned it during a meal.
"For your fiftieth birthday, don't you want Ping Yang to come?"
The originally harmonious atmosphere was a little awkward because of Xue Wangui's words.
The smile on Ding Rou's face faded.
"No, I just talked to him on the phone. He said he is busy with work recently, so he won't come back."
"Well, that's it, okay."
Ding Rou ended this matter without many words. Xue Mi at that time didn't think it was anything.
However, at that time, Jiang Pingyang should have returned to China to work in this start-up company. Ding Rou's answer was either on purpose or because she was really indifferent to Jiang Pingyang.
Obviously both children were born from her stomach, but the treatment was very different.
Hearing Xue Xue's answer, the light in the man's eyes dimmed.
His lips moved and his voice was very light, but Xue Xue still heard it.
What Jiang Pingyang said was "as expected".
It seems that he also knows that he is not welcomed by Ding Rou.
"Actually, Aunt Ding, she"
"You don't need to explain for her." Jiang Pingyang interrupted Xue Xue. "I know very well what kind of person she is. She has always been like this."
Jiang Pingyang knew very well that Ding Rou didn't want him to disturb her new life, so Ding Rou never introduced the members of her new family to Jiang Pingyang, nor did Jiang Pingyang meet them.
However, the attraction between men and women is sometimes so wonderful. A long-term relationship may not cultivate good romantic feelings, but it may spark fire at the moment when they pass each other and meet each other's eyes.
"What should I call you?" After a brief silence, Jiang Pingyang asked. "Xue Mi?"
"Xue Xue."
This question alone was enough for Xue Xue to give Jiang Pingyang a passing score.
This man was more gentlemanly and considerate than she had imagined.
"Xue Xue"
Jiang Pingyang dragged these two words slowly, with the ending slightly raised, and pronounced in his unique way, as if he had tasted it on the tip of his tongue, which inexplicably made Xue Xue feel like her bones were numb and her blood was boiling.
"It sounds good."
"Right." Xue Xue blinked. "It can only be called by the closest person."
"Really?" Seeing the cute and playful appearance of the woman in front of him, Jiang Pingyang asked in a strange way. "Did An Yang call you that too?"
The atmosphere froze for a moment.
"No." Xue Xue quickly responded. "He calls me Mi Mi, just like Dad."
Speaking of which, Xue Mi liked Jiang Anyang so much, in fact, it has nothing to do with Jiang Anyang's performance.
If there is any ambiguity, specialness in small details Even if Jiang Anyang at that time was still gentle to everyone, Xue Xue could find out that Jiang Anyang treated Xue Mi differently from other girls just from her memory. It was also these differences that gradually made Xue Mi feel delusional.
This is also one of the thing Xue Xue found it very interesting.
Did this man Jiang Anyang have a plan against Xue Mi for a long time? Or even he didn't realize his special attitude towards Xue Mi? The former is hateful, the latter is pathetic, but none of these matters anymore.
Looking at the thoughtful Jiang Pingyang in front of her, Xue Xue smiled slightly.
"Do you have any other questions?"
