Chapter 65
Annie's originally lazy movements became a little tense after hearing the name. This was her subconscious reaction, and even her brain couldn't react that quickly.
Although Yueqing spoke English, the two words "Jiang Yan" were pronounced in authentic Chinese.
It was like two heavy hammers hitting her eardrums, causing her nerves to throb slightly.
"Jiang Yan."
She whispered the name again.
It was like going back to the day when I first heard Yue Qing's name, and I couldn't help but want to pay attention and want to see this person.
Annie, already experienced, didn't hesitate this time. She touched her heart and said, "I must have heard of it."
Not only have you heard of it, this person must also be very important.
"Jiang Yan." But she also realized that something was illogical. "What's wrong with this person?"
It feels good to try it out, but when it comes time to explain, I can’t open my mouth.
Does this mean that Jiang Yan is already dead?
At that moment, another absurd possibility popped up in Yue Qing's mind. If Annie was the child's biological mother, she could live again. But what about Jiang Yan? Would he also...
Yue Qing's heart began to beat violently again. She felt that she was on the verge of touching the truth.
"I'll take you to see him in a few days," Yueqing said.
When I see Annie at certain moments, I can recall some things from the past, and the same is true for her. What if I continue to look at her?
This is why Yueqing didn't let Annie return to China with him.
She wanted to escape from the plot of "traveling through a book" and have a real chat with the old people in her memory, so that her wandering heart could settle down little by little.
The bus slowly stopped. The whole town was very quiet and there were not many tourists.
The grass is just beginning to sprout tender green buds, and it looks very lively under the sunlight. The wind is filled with the scent of spring.
Annie was holding the repaired kite in her hand. Yueqing had given it to her before she left, saying that he wanted to fly a kite with her when he came back.
After getting off the bus, Yueqing looked back and saw Annie walking down the stairs with a blind stick.
She only feels like a blind person when she has no external help and is in an unfamiliar place.
Once there's a chance, there's a second chance. Yue Qing walked over, gently took her other hand, and helped her out of the car. "What's wrong with your eyes?"
"I don't know." Annie said frankly, "I was born blind and the doctors can't find the cause."
She smiled and said, "Maybe it's just like the debtor that the master mentioned."
Although the "debtor" herself didn't want to accept this fact, she had no choice but to face it: "Everything has its source. What does your birthday have to do with me? Besides, you don't owe me anything."
Judging from the past that has been pieced together now.
If I were really that little girl, I should have a very good relationship with my sister, protecting and helping each other.
Otherwise, her sister would not have continued to live under her name after her death.
"I don't know." Annie held her hand tightly, "But I think your life is more important than mine."
Yue Qing hurriedly stopped her: "Pooh, pooh, pooh, you can't talk nonsense."
We have all died once, so why bother about life and death? We are not cats.
Annie smiled, and her eyes seemed to be filled with light.
Her eyes should be like this, Yueqing thought.
Yue Qing was infected by her, and the gloomy mood that had been there for a while was relieved a lot. She also laughed: "What are you laughing at?"
"There are many people who want to be your sister, but I am the only one who is different." Annie said, "You are different in front of Lvy than you are in front of me."
"What's the difference?"
I haven't really noticed this Yueqing.
"After returning home, Lvy told me that you are a very smart and rational person. You are very steady in facing any situation and you don't ask for anything." Annie walked slowly beside her, feeling the warmth of her hand. When she pulled down, she could feel the slight beating of Yueqing's pulse, which made her feel at ease.
She raised her eyebrows and smiled, "Although I can't see it, I can feel that you are not like that when you are with me. You are like a child who has nothing but desires everything. You will panic when encountering things and will escape by yourself. This makes me feel that I am being relied upon."
Yueqing was very puzzled. Now more and more people said that she looked like a child.
But in fact, she started to learn to take care of herself and mature at a very young age. How can she act like a child? Now she can take care of two children.
But she had to admit that she felt like she was right. Every time she was in front of Annie, she really felt like she knew nothing.
"I'll pay attention," she said.
"What are you paying attention to?" Annie patted her forearm. "I want you to be like this, so that I can be different from others."
Upon hearing this, the corners of Yue Qing's lips curled up involuntarily. Noticing a small hill ahead, he suddenly said, "You said you remembered the scene of you holding my hand while climbing the mountain?"
"Um."
"I'll take you climbing today." Yue Qing turned around, "Do you believe me?"
Annie was momentarily distracted, with many images overlapping and re-overlapping. Finally, she chuckled, "As long as it's you, I'll believe it."
Yue Qing felt warm at heart after hearing this. He held her wrist and said as they walked, "It must be perfect for flying kites up there. The kites will fly higher there too. I'll take a picture and edit it before letting you touch it."
Annie simply put away her cane as usual and walked leisurely behind her, as if none of the trouble had happened, saying in a relaxed tone, "Okay."
The two of them walked in unison on the way up.
It was a small hill and the road was not steep. It took less than 20 minutes to reach the top. There were a few people around taking pictures.
Yue Qing, who already had experience in taking care of children, took Annie to a safe place, took out a piece of cloth from his backpack and spread it on the ground, then helped her sit down and took out some water from his bag: "Drink some water and rest first."
Annie took the water and said with a smile, "You prepared so many things?"
"I'm used to it." Yue Qing also took a sip. "It takes a lot of preparation to take a baby out."
Annie paused slightly while drinking water. "What kind of children are they?"
Chelsea had given her photos of the babies before, but at that time her mind was full of someone named Yueqing, so she didn't pay much attention to the two children.
But after analyzing it in the car, Annie had some premonitions in her heart.
"They are very well-behaved and sensible children, and they are very beautiful." Yue Qing's tone softened when she mentioned the children. "No one would dislike them if they saw them. Let me show you."
After returning from China, Yue Qing has been on the road. He had a lot of things in his mind and didn't dare to check on the children.
But now her mood is different and she has a clear future direction, so there is nothing to escape.
She clicked on the two children's accounts and was surprised to find that in just a few days, the children not only posted all the videos she edited, but also posted many more, which were all shot later.
It should have been edited by the editor Jiang Suili found for them.
The latest news is that they are sitting in a large toy room, with a long row of all kinds of rocking cars. This time they can really go to the supermarket to collect money and set up a stall. There are several nannies accompanying them, as well as Grandpa Jiang and Uncle Jiang.
"Can you please go away?" Old Master Jiang's face turned sour the moment he saw Jiang Hechang. "Your stern face affects the children's mood, and you're even fighting with them for the rocking car."
"They asked me to play, so I took one." Jiang Hechang felt that his status in this family was really low. He had elderly parents and children to take care of, but no one liked him. He was furious. "Aren't I playing with them too?"
And how could he be in a good mood? That unfilial son actually wanted to take over Yueqing. He was so angry that he ran away. He really didn't know the seriousness of the matter.
Every time I see these two children, I feel sorry for the child in Yueqing.
What sin did he commit to deserve being targeted by a gangster like Jiang Suizhi?
"Grandpa, please don't bully me." Little Le Jia looked up while holding a small jar. "There's also a rocking car. Grandpa can ride it too."
Jiang Hechang was amused and retorted, "He doesn't need to shake it anymore, or his teeth will fall out soon."
"I think you're itching for trouble." Old Master Jiang picked up his crutch and started hitting over there.
The two children hurriedly stood up, one on each side pulling one child, and handed over the candies they had been fiddling with. "Even old people can't fight. This is wrong! Why does Great Grandpa keep pulling Grandpa's ears?"
"Because your grandfather is disobedient."
"Grandpa is very obedient." An An hugged his grandfather to protect him and refused to let go. "Grandpa listens to An An."
Jiang Hechang never expected that the first time he felt the warmth of family would come from his granddaughter. His heart softened, but his back straightened up. Now someone was standing on his side.
"Really?" Old Master Jiang sneered, "Then have you asked your grandfather if he apologized to your aunt?"
"Apologize?" The two children immediately looked at their grandfather, "Did Grandpa do something wrong?"
Only those who have done something wrong should apologize!
Jiang Hechang: “…”
No matter how he apologizes, the person doesn't seem right!
But he expressed his gratitude to Yueqing, so he said: "I told her thank you."
"Thank you and sorry are different." Little Le'an snatched the candy from his grandfather's hand.
My brother also walked over and pulled grandpa off the rocking car, his face serious: "You can't play on the rocking car without an apology. Grandpa should pull your ears."
"It's your uncle who should apologize." Jiang Hechang defended himself, "He did something wrong and made your aunt angry."
“!!!”
Uncle!
I have another uncle, and he’s a hero at that.
It’s over, Zaizai’s world has collapsed again.
At the same time, the voice of Uncle System appeared in Little Le Jia's head again: "Le Jia."
"Uncle System!"
Little Lejia suddenly became excited. He had been working hard to accumulate achievement points. He had seen many little hearts recently, but he had not heard the voice of the system uncle.
It appeared today, it seems that being careful is useful!
"I'm here, I'm here." Little Le Jia replied immediately, "What's the matter? Can I exchange it with my uncle?"
The system didn't expect him to still be thinking about this matter, and laughed: "Not yet, but Uncle System needs your help with something."
"Uncle said."
"Where is my uncle?"
"Uncle, work." Xiao Lejia actually didn't know where his uncle had gone. It seemed that he left with his aunt and never came home again.
The system was silent for a while.
Obviously everything is going in a good direction, and there is no possibility of anyone turning evil.
But why did it suddenly receive the alarm and wake up at that moment?
Both children are fine, but something happened to Jiang Sui.
"Has there been anything strange about my uncle recently?" it asked.
"No." Little Le Jia shook his head, but suddenly remembered, "Grandpa said that my uncle made my aunt angry! Very angry."
system:"?"
He really couldn't understand how big a mistake Jiang Sui had to make to make Yue Qing, who had such a good temper, angry.
"Let your sister see Grandpa." The system warned, "Ask Grandpa what he did wrong?"
Yes, my sister can see what grandpa is thinking.
Little Le Jia obediently pulled his sister, who was snatching candy from his grandfather, over and whispered something in her ear.
The younger sister rolled her eyes, and walked up to Grandpa with her hands behind her back: "Grandpa, An An can give you candy, but Grandpa wants to tell you, what did your uncle do wrong?"
Seeing this, Yueqing's eyelids twitched slightly.
It looked like Uncle Jiang knew what happened between her and Jiang Sui.
I gave money to let the child's mother leave. Now in this situation, can I still go find the child?
But there was no way Jiang Hechang could tell his two children about this. He kept his mouth shut and said, "I don't want to eat candy anymore. I have a toothache."
His eyes were closed tightly, but wide open, so his sister could see clearly.
The younger sister got the answer and did not argue with her grandfather any more. She ran to her brother, covered her mouth and started whispering again: "Brother, what does it mean that my uncle is thinking about my aunt?"
Little Le Jia was shocked: "What! My uncle hit my aunt?!"
Yueqing: "..."
No, next time I must correct their bad habit of thinking that others can't hear them if they cover their mouths and whisper.
The toy room was very large, and the two old people were some distance away from the kids, so they couldn't hear clearly.
Old Master Jiang's beard bristled, and he pounded his cane against the ground. "He hits a good girl?! This is outrageous! I'll break his legs!"
Jiang Hechang: “!”
No, he didn't say anything!
But then I thought, if I can't educate him myself, then it's okay to let the old man educate him.
Looking at the cane in the old man's hand, Jiang Hechang immediately calmed down and pretended to be serious: "That's right, it's too outrageous! Call him back and punish him according to the family rules!"
Don't let him bother Yueqing.
Little Le Jia secretly complained: "Uncle System, did you hear that? My uncle hit my aunt. If that happens, I can't help him with his treatment. I want to help my aunt."
system:"……"
It never expected things to turn out like this.
But it had clearly detected that Jiang Suizhi was on the verge of turning evil, was it because of Yueqing?
No, if that was the case, then Yue Qing rejected him, and in a way that Jiang Sui could not accept.
This unlucky child.
"Le Jia," the system said helplessly, "My uncle's emotional intelligence is still at the same kindergarten level as yours, and he hasn't even graduated yet. So I need to teach him a lesson, okay?"
Le Jia, who was working hard to get a kindergarten diploma, was confused: "What should I teach my uncle?"
The system's tone was a bit cold: "Teach him how to treat girls. Call him now."
[This family is making me laugh to death. They are talking nonsense.]
[Stop laughing! Look, that kid's toy room is bigger than your entire house, and you're still laughing.]
[My bared teeth retracted instantly.]
[Honey, you've missed the point. The main point right now is that my uncle is targeting my aunt. Great-grandfather may not have heard it clearly, but I heard it clearly.]
[What's the plan? I don't think a man or woman in their twenties would kidnap someone for ransom.]
[I admit that my uncle is tall, handsome, and has long legs, but I don't agree with your idea of going to Yueqing. My new wife hasn't even warmed up to him for a few days.]
Yue Qing, who originally wanted Annie to hear the children's voices, now wanted to bury himself in the grass.
She covered her eyes and hurriedly turned off the video. Fortunately, Annie couldn't see the comments section and barrage.
But that doesn't mean she can't hear.
"What do you mean by targeting you?" Annie turned her head slowly and raised an eyebrow. "The man in London that night?"
Somehow Yue Qing suddenly felt a little guilty: "Maybe there is some misunderstanding."
She herself didn't understand why Jiang Suizhi suddenly became like this.
It's like she doesn't know why she is worthy of being liked by others.
"There's some misunderstanding about that thing between a man and a woman." Annie was much more insightful than her. "So, did you tell him about your departure?"
Yue Qing nodded: "I said it."
This surprised Annie: "He didn't look for you?"
In her heart, love is not something that can be ended or started with just a few words. Once you decide to love someone, you need to give your all to love them.
But if that man gave up on Yueqing when he knew that she was in poor condition, he would not be a good person.
"I found it." Yueqing said.
After getting off the plane, she saw Jiang Sui's missed call, but she didn't call back, and the other party didn't call her again.
"Actually," she lowered her head, "I'm not very good at saying no to people."
Unlike strangers or people with whom she has had conflicts, Yue Qing is most reluctant to have conflicts, especially those who are good to her. This is also the reason why she did not communicate with Jiang Suizhi face to face.
Words are her huge umbrella of protection.
Just like children crying and not wanting to go to school, she couldn't bear to do anything cruel to them even if they showed a little weakness.
There are too few people who are good to you.
Annie thought about the man who had driven his motorcycle without leaving any escape route for the robbers, and suddenly said, "He doesn't seem like someone who would give up easily."
Yue Qing also knew that her evasive approach wasn't right: "I'll find a time to talk to him."
Annie nodded: "When will you return home?"
"Maybe in five days." Yue Qing planned the time and decided to finish taking the photos with Chelsea before leaving. "You..."
"Together." Annie stood up. "I also want to know what happened back then."
This was also Yue Qing's purpose. She wanted to find the former director of the orphanage to see what happened after her death.
She stood up after Annie and pulled out another handful of bread from her bag. "Want something to eat?"
Although she was not hungry, Annie did not refuse. When their hands touched, the previous scene appeared in front of their eyes at the same time.
Little Yueqing stood in front of another half-grown little girl with her arms clasped tightly, looking up: "Sister, I brought you some food. Someone from the orphanage came today and gave us a lot of clothes and snacks."
She put everything in her arms on the ground: "This dress is for you to wear, and these are for you to eat."
But instead of picking up the new clothes and snacks, the other little girl held her face and asked, "What's wrong with your face?"
Xiao Yueqing wiped her mouth, her eyes gradually moistening: "They won't let me go out."
"Why?"
"If they go out, they'll be seen and no one will adopt them."
So every time a kind-hearted person came to the orphanage, she would always be locked up in various ways by the older children in the same orphanage.
"That's too much!" Little Annie angrily dragged her outside, "I'll go get bullied by you!"
But Xiao Yueqing put the dress on her first, breathing on her sister's cold hands: "Sister, eat first and put on the new clothes. Sister's illness is not healed yet."
At this time, little Annie, who was wandering outside, had not eaten for a long time. She had caught a cold and had a fever several times and became even thinner. Although they were only a few years apart in age, they were both thinner than each other.
"I'll take you home." Little Annie picked up the things on the ground and took her to her "home".
It was an abandoned house with drafts everywhere. There was a tattered bed in the corner and a few discarded sheets hanging around to block the wind.
"The grandma who picked me up is gone," said little Annie. "I'm the only one here."
Little Yueqing looked at the devastation around her and couldn't stop crying.
It is obviously the elder sister who needs protection, but the elder sister always wants to protect her.
"Sister, I'll take you to the orphanage." She said firmly.
At least there's a place to shelter from the wind and rain, and I won't be sick all the time.
Thinking of those children who would bully others, Xiao Yueqing said again: "I will protect you."
Little Annie hesitated: "I'm so dirty, they won't take me in."
Xiao Yueqing pursed her lips and said, "Then I'll tell the dean that we can sleep in the same bed and I'll give you half of my food."
It was also that night that the two children left the dilapidated little house hand in hand, heading towards another ending.
The bag of bread in his hand fell to the ground. Yue Qing was brought back to his senses by the sound of the bag and hurriedly bent down to pick it up.
Then I heard a faint low laugh from above my head.
"I seem to... really be your sister." Annie squatted down and put her head next to hers. "You said you would take me away, right?"
Yue Qing looked up in surprise.
When his eyes met the other person's beautiful eyes that were pure and without any impurities, he nodded blankly.
Noticing her movements, Annie laughed and patted the back of her head: "Why are you nodding? I can't see."
Caught off guard, Yue Qing's eyes turned red.
She suppressed her nasal voice and emotions, and like a fool, she went to get the kite and said in a muffled voice, "I also said I would buy you a kite and a spaceship."
"Look." Annie gently ruffled her hair. They tacitly agreed not to mention the sad memories. Instead, she smiled and said, "I said, you act like a child in front of me."
The kite she made didn't actually fly very high. Yue Qing spent a lot of effort to make the kite barely seem to fly. She put the kite string in Annie's hand and asked Annie to point it towards the point where the kite would fly: "It's flying in the sky."
"What does it look like?" Annie asked.
"Just like you showed me." Yue Qing said softly, "flying very far and very high."
Annie curled her lips: "I think so."
Yue Qing turned around and suddenly said, "I'm sorry."
"Um?"
"I said I would buy you a kite, but I've been putting it off for so many years."
Annie raised her hand and felt the tension of the kite string. She could also tell the approximate height of the kite, and knew that the child was coaxing her.
She smiled and raised her eyebrows: "It's not too late, everything is just right."
Upon hearing this, Yue Qing also looked at the kite, and the fog in his heart gradually dissipated.
Yeah, everything is just right.
She is still herself.
Suddenly her cell phone rang. Yue Qing picked it up and saw that it was Brother Jiang.
AAAAA Wholesale Brother Jiang: "I heard from Sister Wang that you have moved away. Do you still need wholesale goods in the future?"
Yueqing is only going abroad temporarily, not immigrating, so of course he has to go back.
But she felt that she should not go back to the original house. Even if the house really belonged to Annie, it should be transferred to Annie's name. Annie also had to return to China and could not be left without a place to live.
So she typed, "Yes, but the address will change. I'm currently abroad. I'll send you the new address when I return."
AAAAA Wholesale Brother Jiang: "Sister Wang said you are in the UK."
Yueqing: "What's wrong?"
AAAAA Wholesale Brother Jiang: "I happened to be purchasing in the UK. Sister Wang said that you left something behind when you left, and she couldn't contact you, so she asked me to bring it over."
Yueqing: “?”
Is this person so comprehensive in business?
AAAAA Wholesale Brother Jiang: "But I'm a little busy. If you're not far from London, can you give me an address and I'll have someone bring it to you. It will arrive the same day."
Yueqing was suspicious. He didn't have many things to begin with, so how could some of them be left behind?
But she was a little distracted at the time, so she wasn't too sure.
I had no choice but to call Sister Wang.
Sister Wang was stunned for several seconds before she realized that this was Mr. Jiang's trick. She said stubbornly, "Oh, yes, there is a small box, but I was worried it might be your personal belongings, so I didn't open it to see what it was. Just as Mr. Jiang was going abroad, I asked him to take it with him."
Then he said, "When you told me that, I thought you wouldn't come back, so..."
So that's how it was. Yueqing thought he really had left something behind.
All her other things were still in London, and she had no way to verify it now. She was worried about wasting the businessman's time, so she sent him her current address.
But this time, after sending the message, Brother Jiang on the other end never replied to any message.
Yue Qing, who was still accompanying Annie to fly a kite, did not take it seriously. The two sat on the top of the mountain for a whole day. In the evening, they were so hungry that they came down from the top of the mountain and went to the B&B they had booked to have dinner.
The two went out alone. Apart from the bodyguards who lived separately, Annie did not bring anyone else who was responsible for her daily life, because Yueqing did not want too many people to follow her at the time, and offered to help her pack her luggage.
The small B&B is a two-bedroom suite, just enough for two people, each with their own room.
After dinner, Yueqing pushed Annie into the bathroom to take a shower, while he packed their things in the house and planned the next day's itinerary.
The two children back home should be asleep by this time, so she took out her cell phone and planned to give them some photos taken on the top of the mountain today so that the children would not become suspicious.
But she never expected that at this moment the two kids were secretly lying under the quilt and calling their uncle.
An An asked anxiously, "Can't you get through, brother?"
The system uncle said that the uncle was a primary school kid and was worried that he would do something wrong, but the two kids couldn’t get through on the phone.
"Let's try again. What if my uncle really hits my aunt? We can't beat him." Little Le Jia was very worried. "Then we can only ask my great-grandfather for help."
Yue Qing had just finished selecting the pictures and sending them out when she heard the doorbell ring. She walked over to look through the peephole, but her body suddenly froze.
The person at the door was only wearing a windbreaker and a black baseball cap. His face looked a little scary and his eyes were dark.
Jiang Suizhi?! Yue Qing originally wanted to have a good chat with Jiang Suizhi, so he quickly opened the door.
"Why are you here..."
The rest of the words were swallowed silently after seeing the other person's deep eyes. Yue Qing then realized that Jiang Suizhi was not in a good state. His body was shaking slightly, his breathing was heavy, and there were bloodshot eyes, which was really scary.
She couldn't help but take a step back: "What's wrong?"
But Jiang Suizhi moved in sync with her. Every time she retreated, he took a step forward, his eyes glued to her face inch by inch, and his voice was unusually hoarse: "Yueqing."
"ah?"
"I didn't do anything." Jiang Sui's throat ached terribly, but it wasn't as bad as the pain all over his body and the soreness in his heart. He stared at the person in front of him, "I just asked you to stop thinking about him. Is that too much?"
Yue Qing was even more confused: "Huh?"
Who are you thinking of?
"You can tell me how long it will take you." Jiang Suiyi said word by word, "How long will it take to forget him?"
"I can wait, and I can become him, but you..." He grabbed Yue Qing's wrist, his body temperature was frighteningly high, "but you can't leave."
Yue Qing really didn't understand: "What are you talking about?"
"I……"
Jiang Suizhi was about to speak when Yue Qing's cell phone rang.
She struggled to take out her cell phone with her other hand, and it turned out to be the cubs calling.
It should be very late in China. Why are the kids calling at this time? He was worried that something had happened to the child. Yueqing didn't care about Jiang and just answered the phone.
As soon as the phone rang, little Le Jia on the other end asked anxiously: "Aunt, did your uncle hit you?"
Yue Qing glanced at her grabbed wrist and said, "...I don't think so. Why aren't you guys sleeping yet?"
"We can't get through to my uncle on the phone, and he's worried about my aunt." Little Lejia breathed a sigh of relief.
Yue Qing's suspicion deepened, and he handed the phone to Jiang Suiji: "They said they couldn't get through to you. What did you say to them?"
Seeing that the other party didn't answer, she could only pass it to Jiang Sui's ear: "Talk to them first. I'm worried about you if you don't sleep so late."
Jiang Sui followed the child's gaze and stared at him without blinking, then hummed softly to the person on the other end of the phone.
"Uncle!" The two kids suddenly became excited, "You can't be a prostitute! Go home quickly and don't hit your aunt!"
No matter whether it was his aunt or uncle, Jiang Suizhi felt that these ethical words were just adding fuel to the fire.
"Don't call me uncle," he said.
The two cubs were confused at the same time: "Huh?"
Jiang then sneered, looking at Yue Qing who was still confused, and said word by word: "From now on, call me stepfather."
Yueqing: "..."
“???”
She looked at Jiang Suizhi in astonishment: "Are you crazy?"
