Huo Mian thought those sad memories would cause her mother to treat her with indifference again .
However, to her pleasant surprise, Yang Meirong just pursed her lips and said, "He's been dead for so long, why bring him up? I'm happy today, let's just enjoy the food . "
Naturally, the other women all changed the subject upon hearing these words from Yang Meirong .
During the dinner, when Huo Mian went to get some more rice in the kitchen, Jing Zhixin quietly followed her in .
"Sis, forget those old ladies . They're super gossipy like that . "
"I know, already forgotten . "
"That's good . You don't seem to be too busy these days, right?" Jing Zhixin asked his sister .
"Yeah, the hospital gave me three days off so I don't have much to do . "
"That's good! If you don't have to go to work today, sleep here tonight . You haven't stayed overnight in a while . " Jing Zhixin looked at her with puppy eyes . He adored his sister; when they were young, he and his sister often played hide-and-seek under the old tree in the yard . When they were tired, he would fall asleep under that tree, and Huo Mian would recite Grimm's Fairy Tales to him .
His sister was a genius; Grimm's Fairy Tale is a very thick book, and back then, Zhixin couldn't even recognize all the words, but Huo Mian recited it like it was her own .
He was always so proud of his sister .
Even after his birth father, Jing De, died because of his sister, he never blamed her, not one bit .
Huo Mian, on the other side, always thought that his brother was a warm and outgoing boy . He was carefree and innocent, and she wanted to protect him .
Especially after Uncle Jing's death, she couldn't bear to let anything happen to Zhixin .
"Okay . " Huo Mian thought about Zhixin's request and nodded her head in agreement .
"Yay, awesome!" Zhixin was overjoyed .
After dinner, the other women left, and Huo Mian helped her mother clean up the plates and cutlery .
As she was washing the dishes, she quietly mumbled, "Mom, Jiang Hong came looking for me a couple of days ago, and she asked me if I wanted to go back . "
"Nothing good comes from her contacting you . "
"It was about the Huo family's civil war – the wife and mistress are butting heads . "
"That's good, I hope they fight to the death . I hope that heartless bastard dies . " Yang Meirong's heart was filled with resentment at the thought of Huo Zhenghai .
After all, she used to be a celebrity . She had a bright future in front of her and never thought that bastard would ruin her entire life .
In the end, he wouldn't even acknowledge his own child and gave that sly vixen Shen Jiani an opportunity to take advantage of the situation .
"I won't go back, I'm not interested in their inheritance or anyone in that family . " Huo Mian told her mother how she felt .
Yang Meirong stopped what she was doing; she turned around to look at Huo Mian .
"It's rare for you to think that way . "
"I don't want to go through the pain that you went through . I don't care about money; more money, more problems . I just want to spend the rest of my life with you and Zhixin peacefully . Once Zhixin gets married, I'll take you down south . We'll have a chance to go see our country's beautiful mountains and rivers . "
Huo Mian's words touched Yang Meirong's heart…
Since the death of Jing De, she always blamed Huo Mian for everything that happened . The truth was, she didn't really hate her daughter .
She just never learned how to face the ugly truth .
"You're not so young anymore, you'll have to get married someday . Keep on a lookout and find a good man to spend your life with . Not a rich guy, he'll look down on us, and you'll have a rocky relationship . "
Huo Mian's heart filled with guilt when she heard her mother say this .
If her mother found out that she had married Qin Chu, she would go crazy, right?
Mom, your health isn't as good as it used to be . Why not close the grocery store? We can sell this house and buy an apartment in the city, you can enjoy your retirement . " Huo Mian wasn't so financially strapped anymore . She wanted her mother to sell this place . She could provide a down payment for a new apartment in the city, where the three of them could live together .
