午夜的女人

She held the thing in both hands and walked to Jing Muchen. She opened her hands and said,” Chen Chen, take this.””

Jing Muchen looked at the small and exquisite jade in her hand. It was dark black and crystal clear, without a trace of impurities. It was obviously a high-quality black jade of high value. It was made into the appearance of a blessing card and was even wearing a red ribbon.

He looked at Li Qing with a questioning look in his eyes.

Li Qing smiled and said,” This is a relic that my mother gave me. She said that it was to be passed on to my son-in-law. At that time, I didn’t have the time to give it to Xiaowan’s father, so…” Now that Xiao Wan is married to you, I’ll pass this to you. I hope you and Xiao Wan can live peacefully and well.”

Jing Muchen nodded and reached out to take it. He looked at it carefully in his palm and put it on his neck.

He wasn’t a Buddhist, but since it was given by his mother-in-law, he naturally wouldn’t say anything.

Li Qing watched as Jing Muchen put on the jade pendant without saying a word. The smile on her face became even more gratified. She sighed and said,” My Xiao Wan has never had a father since she was young. Don’t look at how carefree she looks on the surface, but she’s actually very sensitive inside. When she was young, she often ran back from school crying. Later on, she worked especially hard and studied hard because she felt that only when her grades were at the top of her class would her classmates not laugh at her for not having a father. Later on, she successfully got into university. That day, she was especially happy and told me that she would let me live a good life one day. She’s just so headstrong. So for so many years, I’ve been worried that she would suffer because she was headstrong. Especially five years ago, when she inexplicably carried Jiujiu back and said that she didn’t want to go to university anymore. I was so angry that I was about to go crazy because I was a single mother. I knew how hard it was for a woman to raise a child alone! But when I asked her who the father was, she refused to say a word.

It’s also my fault. At that time, I didn’t talk much about her and didn’t take into account her feelings. So, she stayed at home for half a year and was so angry that she carried Jiujiu back to D City. I couldn’t feel at ease every night. I kept having nightmares. I was worried that she would be bullied by others in D City alone and that something would happen to her life…It’s okay. Ah Chen, you’ve finally returned from abroad. Mom doesn’t ask for anything else now. I just hope that you can tolerate Xiao Wan more in the future. She’s a very innocent child. If she makes you angry in the future, for my sake, you must understand and let her know more, right? I don’t have much ability in this life. I can’t even give her a complete family. I only hope that you can protect her well and lead her and the children to live a good life, okay?”

Jing Muchen reached out and held the black jade pendant on his chest. His voice was steady and seemed to promise,” Mom, don’t worry. I will.””

Li Qing nodded, her eyes filled with gratification.

Su Ruowan waited outside for a long time and could not help but knock on the door. When the door opened, she looked at her mother and Jing Muchen in the room, her pair of patrolling eyes darting around.

“Alright, it’s getting late. It’s still more than four hours to drive back from here. You guys should hurry up and get on the road. It’s not safe to drive in the dark.”Li Qing looked at the time and rushed him.

Su Ruowan whispered to Jing Muchen from behind,” Why is my mother looking for you?”

Jing Muchen glanced at her.” I didn’t say anything bad about you.”

Su Ruowan wrinkled her nose at him and smiled.

“Goodbye, Grandma!” “Bye, Grandma!”

Jiujiu and Jing Yanxi hugged Li Qing and kissed her on the cheek, then waved their little hands and sat in the car.

Su Ruowan carefully fastened the two children’s seatbelts before closing the back door.

“Mom.” Su Ruowan held Li Qing’s arm,” We’re leaving. You must be careful at home, understand? Don’t be reluctant to use the refrigerator and air conditioner that Chen Chen bought for you.”

As he spoke, he took out a bank card from his bag..
