Just as she walked out of the office gate, a gust of north wind blew, which made Zhou Jiao's swollen head feel much clearer, but she also shivered with cold.
Just as she tightened her coat, she heard a familiar voice of "sister". She looked up and saw that it was not that naughty kid Lei Tianming pushing a 28-bar and waving at her.
Zhou Jiao ran a few steps, pulled her scarf down, and complained, "I've been waiting for so long, why don't you come in?"
"Not long. Sister, I have something to talk to you about." Lei Tianming quickly gestured for her to look at the two large cardboard boxes tightly tied on the back seat of the 28-bar truck.
"You're not going to mess around again, are you? I'm telling you, if you spend money on those three brothers again, I won't forgive you! Save up some money and go meet someone with me in a couple of days."
Lei Tianming smiled bitterly and shook his head. Here he comes again, is he still in the mood to date? "Not this time. Sister, the Miao family is here, and I'm in a mess right now. Let's find a place."
Zhou Jiao's heart skipped a beat when she heard that. She looked at him cautiously, "You know?"
"Yeah. The old housekeeper told me everything last night. No wonder you dragged me on a blind date. I told you you hated matchmaking, so why are you acting so abnormally?"
Zhou Jiao glared at him angrily. "Did I push you a few years ago? You're almost thirty and still single. Who knows when they'll show up?"
Lei Tianming immediately changed the subject, "Sister, there are too many people here, let's go."
The matter involved was indeed quite sensitive, and some things couldn't be said in public, so Zhou Jiao took him home specifically. Not leaving? Haha, did you really think she could carry two such large boxes?
Wuyi, who was in the bathroom, heard the noise and immediately ran out. Seeing Lei Tianming, he jumped over to him with joy and said, "Uncle, let's make a deal. Since we are alumni now, can we change our generational order?"
Lei Tianming put the cardboard box on the coffee table, stroked his hair, and laughed happily, "As long as you're not afraid of getting beaten! Where's your brother?"
"Brother, brother, my uncle is here~"
Lei Tianming teased: "With your voice, I think even the gate can hear it."
"Uncle, where have you been recently?"
Ping An followed Liu Yi downstairs and said, "Last weekend, the three of us brothers went all out to look for you. How come I heard you weren't living at home?"
Lei Tianming subconsciously glanced at Zhou Jiao who was drinking hot water, and when he saw that she didn't notice, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
If she knew about this, she would probably look down on him with a look that said "You are so stupid", and she might even stand up for him. But why bother?
Alas... Ever since his adoptive mother passed away, so many things have changed. It's hard to describe them in words. Now, he has repaid all the debts he owed to the Lei family!
Seeing this, the Wuyisan brothers chuckled to themselves. Did they really think their mother hadn't heard? Did they really think their family hadn't found out about the Lei family's mess?
It was just for his sake, and he didn't want to argue with that ungrateful woman. He was just an adopted son, and it just happened to repay the Lei family for their kindness in raising him.
Do they really think that anyone would want that shabby ten-square-meter house? They'll regret it one day! Do they really think their uncle, who's protected by their three brothers, is so easy to bully?
Miao Lishan came out of the bedroom. When she saw him, her eyes lit up and she walked quickly over to them. "Xiao Ming is finally here. Have you eaten?"
"Auntie." Lei Tianming called out, his heart filled with mixed emotions. Before, he was forced to come here by Xiaowu brother and was forced to call her auntie. He didn't understand, but how could he know that this was his real auntie?
The three Ping'an brothers looked at him suspiciously. So excited? Then they looked at each other thoughtfully, and in tacit understanding, they found an excuse to run to the kitchen.
Yes, we need more dishes when guests come!
Zhou Jiao pulled Miao Lishan along, motioned Lei Tianming to follow, and the three of them entered the study.
"Mom, my cousin knows."
Miao Lishan nodded excitedly, "Okay, I'm glad to know. If I knew, it would have already started to get out of control. Child, you won't blame me, right?"
"Aunt, I understand. But don't tell anyone from now on. My uncle and my fifth brother cannot be involved with the Miao family. I am still the orphan who was saved by my sister."
Miao Lishan's eyes turned red and she couldn't help but shed tears.
Lei Tianming stood up and squatted in front of her. "Aunt, don't be sad. I'm very happy that we are aunt and nephew. Alas, we are aunt and nephew indeed. We really share the same suffering."
Miao Lishan burst into laughter and said, "You naughty child, what nonsense are you talking about? You will get better and better in the future!"
"Yes, yes, we will all be better and better. Aunt, look at this military coat you gave me. Doesn't your nephew look very handsome in it?"
Zhou Jiao quickly moved a stool to sit next to him. Such a big guy, such an adult... actually squatting there and acting like a spoiled child, it was really an eyesore!
"Stay home tonight. I'll take you coat shopping tomorrow morning. How about a black one? I think Xiaowu would look good in it. A gray one would also look elegant..."
Lei Tianming looked at her with a smile, "Auntie, don't worry. Let me tell you what the old housekeeper said when he came over."
When Miao Lishan heard that he wanted to talk about serious matters, she nodded quickly and pulled him to sit down.
Zhou Jiao's mouth twitched when she saw this. How pleased must her mother be with this kid? Why didn't she see such enthusiasm for her nephew Miao Zhicheng?
Looking at the past few years, I guess she has put all her feelings for Lin Dingsheng and his brothers into this silly boy!
"Aunt, the old housekeeper has been here for three days. He came to see me yesterday when he got off work. He showed me a photo of my mother. I showed him this too."
Lei Tianming pulled out a jade ring from his neck and looked at Zhou Jiao sheepishly, "Sister, before my mother died, I promised her that I would never sell it even if I died. So that year, I would rather sell blood than sell this thing. She always hoped that I could go home and reunite with my family."
Zhou Jiao nodded in understanding.
So she respected Aunt Lei from the bottom of her heart. She was a rare and kind person. She didn't believe that a five or six-year-old child could hide something from her husband and wife.
"When the old housekeeper saw me take this out, he told me the history of our Miao family. In fact, he didn't know anything about it except what happened after that. My mother mentioned it every day, and she was worried that I would forget it."
"According to him, my mother was my father's second wife, and she took me back to China in anger because she misunderstood my father." Lei Tianming smiled self-deprecatingly.
"My mother never told me the truth. But the old housekeeper said that my father has never married or had children. Besides me, the third wife now has only two older sisters born to his first wife.
My family wanted to take me back before, but something happened abroad and it was unsafe, and they happened to find out about my aunt's background."
Zhou Jiao frowned, "So he came here to pick you up?"
"Well, he said I was his father's only child, born in his old age. He spoke so pitifully and cried so hard that it really messed me up."
