Chapter 173: Mother! I'm going out】
"Old lady -"
the middle-aged woman was helpless and whispered to Ye Qingyue: "I'm so sorry about this little girl. When my old lady brought Miss Yue to this park before, she encountered the devils bullying our Chinese. After she bravely rescued people, she turned around and found that Miss Yue was gone..."
Speaking of this, the middle-aged woman sighed, "Since then, the old lady's mental state has been abnormal. At the worst, she would call everyone she saw Yue'er. Don't mind it. She has no ill intentions towards you and will not hurt you."
Although the middle-aged woman has just been in the Jiang family for half a year, she has also come out to find Li Qi several times during this period.
It is not uncommon to see Li Qi mistaken others for Miss Yue, but was rejected by the other party and even beaten.
She specifically said this because she hoped Ye Qingyue would not speak ill of Li Qi because she disliked him for being a mental patient.
Ye Qingyue nodded, and her hope was reduced a little.
Seeing Li Qi's attitude towards her before, Ye Qingyue really thought that Li Qi had some relationship with her mother.
It turned out that Li Qi was like this to everyone.
And according to what the middle-aged woman said, the "Miss Yue" had been found.
No matter from which angle you look at it, Li Qi had nothing to do with her mother.
Sure enough, finding relatives is like finding a needle in a haystack, it is not that easy.
Ye Qingyue felt regretful in her heart, but a smile appeared on her face. She held Li Qi's hand and said softly, "Mom, it's late now, it's time to go home."
Hearing Ye Qingyue's "Mom", Li Qi was stunned, tears welled up in her eyes. She held Ye Qingyue's hand tightly and said hurriedly, "It's time to go home, it's time to go home, Yue'er, let's go home..." The
middle-aged woman saw this scene and was a little confused. What was this little girl going to do?
At this time, Ye Qingyue said, "Mom, I can't go back with you."
Li Qi was anxious and asked, "Why?"
"Because..."
Ye Qingyue patted Li Qi on the back, motioning her to calm down, "I still have to go to work."
"Work...?"
Li Qi was stunned.
The middle-aged woman finally reacted at this time, and she quickly helped to say, "Yes, old lady, Miss Yue still has a job, she is very busy!"
"Yue'er, when did you get a job?" Li Qi asked blankly, "Mom didn't even know..."
"Just a while ago, I became a doctor."
Ye Qingyue said, "I have to go back to the hospital for the night shift, mom, you go back to sleep first."
Li Qi shook her head violently, "Mom won't go back, mom will go to the hospital to accompany you..."
"No."
Ye Qingyue deliberately frowned and said, "Mom, you are old, you can't stay up late, it's not good for your health, I still want you to be healthy and accompany me for a few more decades, so starting today, you can't stay up late!"
"Then, then mother will go back and wait for you..."
Li Qi finally gave in, and she asked again: "Yue'er, when can you come back? Mother has been waiting for you for a long, long time..."
Ye Qingyue suddenly realized when she heard this. She
has been waiting for a long, long time... right?
She didn't know if her mother's mother was waiting for her mother to come back just like Li Qi.
"Mom, I have to go on a business trip tomorrow."
Ye Qingyue didn't want to make a promise of "I will be back tomorrow" casually.
Because she knew that her casual words might make the old man in front of her really look forward to the arrival of tomorrow, but because he couldn't wait for her...
despair.
"I'm going to a far place, staying in the hospital there for a while, and I can't go home for a while."
Ye Qingyue said softly: "So, when I'm not at home, you have to eat well, sleep well, and wait for me at home, okay?"
Rather than giving Li Qi a lie that is easily exposed, it is better to give her hope, a
hope that will give her the strength to live well.
"...Okay."
Li Qi's voice was choked, probably because she was reluctant, but she still listened to Ye Qingyue's words, nodded, and said: "Mom is at home...waiting for you."
"Yeah."
Seeing her body trembling slightly, Ye Qingyue couldn't bear it after all, so he opened his arms and hugged her, and then said: "Mom, then I'm going to work, you go home and rest."
After that, Ye Qingyue turned and left.
After she walked for a while, she felt something in her heart and subconsciously looked back.
Under the dim street lights, Li Qi's frail figure stood there, maintaining the same posture as before, without moving, and kept looking at her. She
didn't know how long he had been looking at her.
Perhaps, from the moment she turned around, Li Qi couldn't bear to take his eyes off her?
Ye Qingyue's nose suddenly felt sore. Although the person in front of her was just a stranger, why did it make her so heartbroken?
Perhaps, she was thinking of her mother?
It would be great if her mother's family loved her mother as deeply as Li Qi did.
Ye Qingyue couldn't help but raise her hand, waved to Li Qi from a distance, and raised her voice, "Mom! I'm going out!"
The next second, Li Qi subconsciously took a step towards her, and a hoarse crying voice came from afar -
"Yue'er! Come back early!"
Li Qi refused to move until Ye Qingyue's figure disappeared.
The middle-aged woman saw that Li Qi seemed to have become a statue, and could not help but pull her sleeve, "Old lady, let's go back quickly..."
Li Qi did not speak.
At this time, hurried footsteps came from behind.
A handsome young man ran over, "Grandma!"
If Ye Qingyue was still here, she would definitely recognize that this man was Jiang Shaoyan, the future husband of her good friend Lu Xue.
Jiang Shaoyan grabbed Li Qi's hand, but found that the other party did not move. With a turn of his eyes, he coaxed: "Grandma, are you out to look for your aunt? Your aunt is at home, she is waiting for you to go back home, let's go home, okay?"
After hearing this, Li Qi finally reacted. She looked at Jiang Shaoyan and snorted, "Yue'er is not at home."
Jiang Shaoyan was dumbfounded. That's not right! This trick was obviously very effective before.
Every time his grandmother ran away from home, it was to find her lost aunt Jiang Yue.
Every time Jiang Shaoyan and his friends found Li Qi outside, if Li Qi refused to go home, they just lied to her that Jiang Yue was waiting for her at home, and Li Qi would follow them obediently.
But why this time...
Just when Jiang Shaoyan was puzzled, he heard Li Qi say: "Yue'er went to the hospital for the night shift. She has a business trip tomorrow and will be away for a while..."
Jiang Shaoyan was confused, "Grandma, what are you doing..."
He couldn't help but look at the middle-aged woman next to him, and asked in a low voice: "Auntie Wang, is this a new trick you just made up?"
Auntie Wang shook her head and said, "It's not me, it's a little girl just now..."
She told her the whole story.
Jiang Shaoyan slapped his thigh after hearing this, "She is so smart!"
He said helplessly, "Auntie Wang, why didn't you keep her? She helped my grandmother this time, so she should be rewarded..."
"Reward..."
Auntie Wang looked strange, she said, "The old lady probably gave it to her."
As she said that, Auntie Wang pointed to the cotton candy in Li Qi's hand and said, "The old lady also bought candy for her. You know, when the old lady recognized the wrong person before, many people took advantage of the situation to trick the old lady into buying things for themselves. Who knows how many things the little girl asked the old lady to buy for her before we found the old lady."
That's why Auntie Wang's attitude towards Ye Qingyue was lukewarm.
The little girl didn't look like a decent family.
Jiang Shaoyan heard this and thought of the deception Li Qi had suffered, and couldn't help but sigh, "Even so, she has done a favor to my family. Aunt Wang, I know you feel sorry for my grandmother, but don't think too badly of outsiders..."
Aunt Wang was about to explain when she heard the cotton candy stall owner next to her sigh, holding a big black ten in his hand, scratching his head and shouting, "Oh no! I forgot to give you the change!"
He hurriedly took out the money from the old man. She rummaged in her pocket and took out a bunch of change, stuffed it into Li Qi's hand, and said, "Old lady, do you know the girl who paid just now? I just forgot to give her change, please bring it to her!"
On the side, Mrs. Wang was surprised when she heard it: "The money for buying cotton candy was paid by the little girl just now?!"
