Mother He poked half of her body out of the kitchen.
She asked gently, "Jingjing, what's wrong?"
He Jing said, "Sister Cheng Yi is here."
He Sui's eyelids twitched, He Zhou's expression changed slightly, and the others in the living room also involuntarily put down what they were doing.
Mother He suddenly came out of the kitchen, saw the gift in He Jing's hand, and looked outside: "Where's Xiaoyi?"
He Jing replied, "It seems she's gone, but she shouldn't have gone far. Mom can give her a call."
Suddenly realizing that she had been too eager to hear about Cheng Yi, He Jing's mother glanced at her nervously and awkwardly, and said cautiously, "Maybe we should just forget about it... Jingjing, Mom cooked some good dishes tonight, you must try them."
He Jing smiled and shook her head, saying, "Mom, it's okay, you can call her back."
She really doesn't mind.
Cheng Yi already resembles the female lead described in the original work, so even if he has any dissatisfaction with her, he wouldn't be so low as to bring it out on the table or serve tea to her face.
Having a meal together is fine; she's not that petty.
He Chen also came over and smiled, "Mom, call Xiaoyi back. It's rare for her to come over, and she even brought a gift."
With He Jing and He Chen's approval, He's mother finally felt a little more at ease and was no longer so nervous. She glanced at the other people in the room and, seeing that none of them objected, she couldn't hide her small, happy mood. She wiped her apron with her hands that were washing vegetables and said, "Then I'll go call Xiaoyi."
They didn't dare to sound too happy in their tone of voice.
After getting through to Cheng Yi on the phone, she repeatedly expressed how much she missed him and hoped that Cheng Yi could come back and have a meal with her.
At this moment, downstairs.
Cheng Yi sat in the car, about to ask the driver to leave, but her hand holding the phone tightened.
This wasn't part of her plan. She couldn't understand why the He brothers, who liked He Jing so much, would tell their mother that she had been there.
Wouldn't that prevent her mother from discovering the gift she gave her later and secretly shedding tears of gratitude?
However, once she answered the phone, she couldn't refuse to go up.
Cheng Yi had no choice but to get out of the car and go upstairs while wondering who had let the cat out of the bag.
As she pressed the elevator up button, a sudden thought struck her, and she remembered He Jing.
If it's He Jing, then everything makes sense.
A cold smile appeared on Cheng Yi's face. After composing herself, she strode out of the elevator.
They knocked on the He family's door again, and He's mother opened it. Sure enough, He Jing was standing beside her with a mocking expression.
Cheng Yi glanced at He Jing, then immediately looked away, staring at He's mother with reddened eyes, and called out, "Mom."
Before she could speak, tears streamed down her face.
Even though Mother He had prepared herself mentally, she couldn't help but burst into tears at the sight and cried out, "Xiao Yi!"
This is the daughter she personally delivered to the Cheng family.
She still remembers the day the Cheng family proposed to exchange with the He family; she sat alone in the bathroom, facing the sink, for a long time.
Cheng Yi was her beloved daughter whom she had raised single-handedly. She did not want to exchange her for a daughter she had never met and had no feelings for, especially after learning that the other daughter refused to leave the Cheng family and attempted suicide.
She also asked Ye Shuping if she could make the best of a bad situation and leave Cheng Yi with her, but Ye Shuping refused outright, insisting on getting Cheng Yi back no matter what, or she would sue her for child trafficking.
She then had no choice but to painfully tell Cheng Yi what had happened, and personally saw her off in the luxury car sent by the Cheng family, grieving alone for a long time.
