Jiang Mei shook off the inappropriate thoughts in her mind, sighed, and went over to massage her shoulders.
"Mom, what are you doing? If you really want to cheer me up, you can just say that everything in our family will be mine in the future. Why would you come over and massage my shoulders? That's not right."
"You just keep talking nonsense. Do you feel uncomfortable?"
"It's not uncomfortable. I've always been in good health."
After Song Xinglan bought the sour plum juice, Qi Yunyi took it from him and drank it in small sips while biting the straw.
Qi Yunyi took a few sips and thought of Song Xinglan, who had worked so hard, so she offered the sour plum juice to him and asked, "Would you like some?"
"No."
"Take a sip."
Song Xinglan, who had said earlier that he didn't want to drink, really lowered his head and took a sip.
"Do you think it tastes good?"
"It's not tasty, sour."
His eyebrows were furrowed together, and he looked a little more serious.
Qi Yunyi laughed.
Then the shoulder was hit again.
"mom……"
She stretched out her voice and looked at Jiang Mei with dissatisfaction as she hit her again.
"My hand slipped."
It was obvious that he hit her on purpose.
Qi Yunyi was angry but dared not say anything. She muttered to herself, and then reached out and rubbed her shoulders.
Song Xinglan is different from Qi Yunyi, the boss who just does nothing. He has to work.
So after sitting for a while, he went back to work.
As soon as Song Xinglan left, Jiang Mei, as if she was having a heart-to-heart talk with her, admonished her, "Yiyi, we can't have our cake and eat it too. Xingxing is a good kid, and you can't bully him just because he's a good kid."
"What if he wanted to?"
"That's not possible, Yi Yi. Even if your father and I didn't have this family business, our education of you would never change. You can't become a person without morals who feels comfortable harming others."
"I'm not bullying him. There's a maid to cook for him, a cleaner to clean, and we use a washing machine to do the laundry. I only ask him to do it for me occasionally, and I do it myself the rest of the time. Also, I do his laundry, so that doesn't count as bullying."
"Okay, not talking about bullying. Do you think you did the right thing?"
“???”
"Tell me the truth, did you deliberately give Xingxing the illusion of being romantically involved while you were actually dating someone else?"
ha?
Qi Yunyi's eyes widened: "How did you come up with this conclusion?"
"I don't want to think so, but I think it's very likely. Xingxing obviously likes you. I don't see it in you."
"Why didn't you see that?"
Qi Yunyi put her face close to Jiang Mei's eyes and said, "Mom, look at me, look at me. I am your most beloved daughter. I love you very much right now. Can you see that?"
"I see."
Jiang Mei pushed her head away.
"Then how can you not see that I like stars?"
"Do you like stars?"
"Well, I mean, if I liked him, how could you not tell?"
"Oh~ That's not necessarily true. Xingxing has never concealed his preference for you since he was a child. I've observed him for so long, how could I not see it?
As for you, did you really not feel his preference for you, or did you feel it but didn't want to respond, and instead were content to enjoy this preference?"
Qi Yunyi felt that she was more wronged than Dou E.
If it doesn't work, just reveal your cards.
As she was thinking this, she saw Jiang Mei sigh: "I originally thought it was good for you to be with Xingxing, even if you don't like him as much as he likes you, but at least, you won't be hurt by being with him.
He might get hurt, but you're my daughter after all. Parents always favor their own children more.
Who knew that you had no such feelings towards him at all, it seemed like you were just used to his existence, and you felt the same with or without him.
After seeing so much, I felt that it was too unfair to Xingxing, so I never thought about you being with him.
But you, Yi Yi, tell your mother honestly how you feel about the stars.
Do you like him, do you love him, or do you neither like nor love him and just treat him as a brother?"
"I'm older than him."
"You're old, but I've never seen you take care of your brothers like an older sister."
"What? Originally, a little brother is just a toy created by parents for his sister to play with."
"Qi Yunyi!"
"I was wrong. How could I say that about my brother?"
Qi Yunyi admitted her mistake decisively, then leaned on Jiang Mei's shoulder without saying a word.
She thought the matter was over, but Jiang Mei pinched her face and said, "You haven't answered your mother's question yet."
Qi Yunyi lowered her head sullenly, then suddenly became angry: "I like him, so what? Do I have to marry him right away and give birth to a football team for him just because I like him?"
Jiang Mei: ...
"You have a brain like that. I never knew who you took after. I guess it's your dad."
She doesn't have such strange train of thought anyway.
Jiang Mei sighed and touched her head: "Since you like him, then be with him. No matter where you will go in the future, at least you have taken that step."
Qi Yunyi didn't tell her that she was already with Song Xinglan, but asked her: "Mom, how do you know he likes me?"
"Little fool, when you were little, he listened to you and did whatever you said. He even treated you as a close friend. Now that he's grown up, he still has his eyes full of you no matter what he does. If this isn't love, what is it?"
