After Jiang Manyi learned that “Liu Ye” was really Bu Tanyan, she was so happy that she couldn’t wait for dawn, and arrived at Xie Yuan’s house overnight to see Bu Tanyan.
She hugged her, with tears in her eyes.
But now Bu Tanyan had not recovered her memory. Although she was also very happy, after all, she was not as excited as Jiang Manyi, and it was difficult to give the same emotional reaction.
Jiang Manyi didn’t care, as long as she knew that she was still alive, it was the greatest gift in her life.
When leaving, on the steps at the gate of the community, Jiang Manyi saw Qiu Li who had been driven out, and Jiang Yu who was sitting next to him helping him massage his legs.
Jiang Manyi knew the cause and effect of the incident. Although she could understand Xie Yuan’s anger, she felt more distressed.
She simply took Qiu Li back to her home. Jiang Yu wanted to go with him, but Qiu Li asked her to stay. Today was a good time for family reunion. She had better stay with her parents.
Jiang Yu nodded, just saying that she would go to see him tomorrow.
Cheng Ye expressed his righteous indignation and dissatisfaction with Xie Yuan’s move.
It was not because he had a sense of justice, but Xie Yuan drove out his son-in-law causing him to become homeless so that he could only take him home, which severely damaged his romantic two-person world.
Qiu Li had already minimized his sense of existence as he walked gently in slippers, usually curled up on the sofa to read a thick monograph, and it was no surprise that Cheng Ye wandered around wearing pants.
But Cheng Ye still felt uncomfortable.
Jiang Manyi felt distressed for Qiu Li, so she had stewed bone soup for him over the past few days.
“Xie Yuan is not such an impulsive person.” Cheng Ye scooped a bowl of rich bone soup, and said while drinking: “At the beginning, he asked the authoritative orthopaedics experts at home and abroad to help his son-in-law for consultation. Hundreds of thousands just disappeared like this.”
Jiang Manyi comforted Qiu Li and said, “Xiao Li, don’t care if he admits it or not. You are our son-in-law. You just live in our house. You can also get married, mother’s words are still useful.”
Before Qiu Li spoke, Cheng Ye yelled: “No…, it’s not a way to go on like this, you still have to let them reconcile.”
“It’s easier said than done.”
Jiang Manyi and Xie Yuan had known each other the longest time, and she knew too much about this man’s feelings for Bu Tanyan.
Although Qiu Li was also a victim, he was also the son of the culprit. Xie Yuan would think of Qiu Shao whenever he saw him…
It was choking.
Cheng Ye talked for a while: “When I think about it, I understand Xie Yuan quite well.”
“Aren’t you two always at odds, why are you still talking for him?”
Cheng Ye said: “He just kicked Qiu Li out. If I was changed to Xie Yuan, if this happens, I…I can pay off my father’s debt and my son’s debt!”
Jiang Manyi looked at Qiu Li, who was silently drinking soup, and pushed Cheng Ye: “Okay, don’t say it, no matter how you count this matter, you can’t count it on Xiao Li.”
After eating lunch, Qiu Li helped clean up the dishes and walked out of the kitchen wearing a small floral apron. He happened to see Jiang Yu walking in with Bu Tanyan.
Bu Tanyan’s eyes were red, and she walked to him, stroked his face with her hand, and said softly, “Xiao Li, I am your mother.”
There was light in Qiu Li’s eyes, but the light dimmed quickly: “Aunt Bu, I will diagnose and treat you as soon as possible. But it will take a long time to restore your memory…”
Before he could finish speaking, Bu Tanyan hugged him.
Qiu Li’s unfinished words choked in his throat, and he looked at the woman who held him tightly in front of him at a loss: “I know, I may not be your mother by blood, but I… I really love you.”
Liu Ye’s health was not good, and the doctor had repeatedly advised her that this child was best not to be born, but she still insisted on giving birth to this child.
How much did she love him!
As for Liu Ye’s love for Qiu Li, those memories were all condensed in Bu Tanyan’s mind. She held the boy’s cheek and said emotionally: “Xiao Li, mom will protect you in the future, and mom will not let people bully you anymore.”
Qiu Li’s pupils trembled violently, and said the two words that had been missing for a long time, “Mom…”
That was the only light in his childhood, and after seeing Ren Xian, the only light died out. For a long time, the word “mother” became an indelible wound in his heart.
His Mom was dead!
He didn’t have a mother anymore.
“I hate that man, he deprived me of the life that originally belonged to me.” Bu Tanyan whispered in his ear: “But you are my only blessing. I love you as much as she did.”
She loved him as much as Liu Ye.
“Mom, I got 749 in the college entrance examination. I am the provincial champion. Now…, I am admitted to Beicheng University’s most powerful psychology major with the first place.”
These words, what he wanted to say to his mother after holding back for many years, he said slowly to Bu Tanyan.
Listening to Qiu Li’s words, Jiang Yu couldn’t help turning her head, her eyes filled with sourness.
She accompanied Qiu Li all the way, knowing what his mother meant to him, and the moment Bu Tanyan embraced him, everything was relieved.
All the sufferings in the past, at the moment when he called out “Mother” with trembling words, all disappeared.
Bu Tanyan called the shots and took Qiu Li back home.
Xie Yuan had calmed down after several days, and was not as excited as that night, but when he saw Qiu Li again, his face was still very bad.
But it was Bu Tanyan who brought him back. Xie Yuan couldn’t drive him away anymore. He could be cruel to anyone, but he was soft-hearted to the two women in the family.
At noon that day, Qiu Li personally cooked a table of meals. Xie Yuan was so angry that he never showed up in the study. Jiang Yu asked him to go upstairs to call Xie Yuan to create a chance for them to reconcile.
Qiu Li subconsciously shouted: “Dad, it’s time to eat.”
Xie Yuan threw the ceramic tea cup in his hand and smashed it on the door, smashing it to pieces: “If you dare to call like this again, I will cut off your tongue.”
This scene was seen by Bu Tanyan who was passing by. She pulled Qiu Li behind her and said angrily: “Whose tongue are you going to cut off?”
Xie Yuan only didn’t dare to lose his temper at Bu Tanyan, because this lady really had a “Lei Gong” temper, even though she smiled so brilliantly at ordinary times.
He looked at Qiu Li behind her, somewhat aggrieved and resentful: “Cut me, all right.”
Bu Tanyan crouched on her hips and said dissatisfied: “Look, you are so cold at home all day long, such that the two children in the family are scared…they dare not speak loudly. If this continues, I will drive you away.”
“You’re blaming me?”
“Otherwise.” Bu Tanyan said: “You are at this age, and you are still not embarrassed to act like this with a child. What did he do wrong.”
“You can help him speak now.” Xie Yuan dissatisfied: “When you recover your memory, I see if you will help him.”
“Even if I recover my memory, I am Xiao Li’s mother. So when he calls your father, and you have to bear it, anyway, he will call it sooner or later, right, Xiao Li.”
Qiu Li nodded obediently.
“Xiao Li, call Dad.”
“Dad.”
Xie Yuan was so angry that everyone was gone.
Although he still had a sorrow about it, he still couldn’t stand the daily strategy of Jiang Yu and Bu Tanyan, and Qiu Li’s ability to pretend to be a pig while eating a tiger.
As long as Bu Tanyan had time, she would enthusiastically make some small cakes at home. After making them, Qiu Li would send them to the company to bring them to Xie Yuan, which would increase the chance of contact between the two.
Xie Yuan ate Bu Tanyan’s “dark cuisine” pastries like wax, and looked at the curiosity who cleverly placed the pastries in front of him.
He said calmly: “Mom said, these…I have to look at you and eat them one by one, without leaving any back.”
Xie Yuan was about to retch, and even had hallucinations in a trance, feeling Qiu Li seem to be sneering.
Revenge, this was definitely revenge!
“Let it go, I will eat later.”
Qiu Li said calmly: “I have to take the box back, because mom wants to check it.”
“…”
Xie Yuan picked up another piece of sweet-scented osmanthus crispy with stinky tofu, his hands trembling uncontrollably.
Qiu Li took a deep look at him and said, “I can help you share the burden.”
Xie Yuan immediately put down his hand holding the sweet-scented osmanthus cake: “Will you be so kind?”
Qiu Li bluntly said: “I want to ask you, so naturally I have to do my best to please.”
Of course Xie Yuan knew what he wanted, didn’t he just want him to let go and let Xiao Yu marry him.
“You are direct.”
“Uncle Xie is a wise man, I don’t need to be circumspect.”
“Is it Uncle Xie now?”
“I want to call Dad too, but I don’t for fear that you will kick me out again.”
Xie Yuan handed a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake to him: “First prove your sincerity.”
After Qiu Li ate the piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake, Xie Yuan felt a lot of relief when he saw him visibly retch.
He just wanted to make this kid suffer.
And Qiu Li did what he said and solved the remaining pieces of sweet-scented osmanthus cake.
Xie Yuan breathed a sigh of relief and sat calmly on the side of the sofa with his face in his arms, scrutinizing the young man in front of him.
He could still remember the gloom of the boy when he first saw Qiu Li, and there was a wave of impatience in his eyes.
Now, although his facial features were becoming more and more fierce, the leaning between his eyebrows had replaced the coldness and gloom of his youth.
If there was no such thing as the diary, Xie Yuan might appreciate him, but now, he hated him whenever he saw him.
But if you want to really say hate… it didn’t count as much. When he calmed down, thinking of the suffering this child had experienced in the past, Xie Yuan also had a trace of pity for him.
He watched Qiu Li finish eating the sweet-scented osmanthus cake in silence, and then said: “In fact, you don’t have to spend so much time to please me, isn’t your hypnosis very good? Looking at the Haicheng case, you can still make the hypnotized person hallucinate. You can completely hypnotize me and let me accept you.”
Qiu Li wiped off the crumbs from the corner of his mouth and said seriously: “I promised Xiao Yu not to hypnotize my family.”
“I am not your family.”
“You are… Dad.”
When uttering these two words, Qiu Li still paused.
The haze his father left him was too deep, and it was difficult for him to pronounce these two words without scruples.
Xie Yuan felt his hesitation, but he was still willing to call him “dad”.
Xie Yuan himself was also a father. After calming down, he felt a little more pity for the child in front of him.
“Tell me about your childhood.”
