Chapter 55: Ji Wenxin (1)

When the daughter wants to meet her mother, there’s no father who has the right to stop her.

As the grandfather, Grandpa Huo also had no objection upon hearing it.

After dinner, Huo Xiaoxiao went upstairs to sleep. Grandpa Huo and Huo Suicheng discuss this matter in the study.

“Then make an appointment, let Xiaoxiao meet her. Anyway, she is Xiaoxiao’s mother. It’s normal for them to meet.” Suddenly he thought of something. Grandpa Huo asked him, “I heard that Xiaoxiao’s mother is married?”

“Yes. I heard that she got married abroad.”

“Then, do her husband know about Xiaoxiao’s existence?”

“According to my investigation, he doesn’t know it.”

“Doesn’t know?” Grandpa Huo held a cane in his hand, he looked at Huo Suicheng and asked him, “Don’t know what it means? After all these years, she hasn’t told her husband about her past and Xiaoxiao’s existence?”

Huo Suicheng frowned, “Maybe she wants to keep it secret.”

Grandpa Huo laughed, “Is it necessary to keep such a thing secret? Can it? Xiaoxiao is smart and cute, and it’s not like she couldn’t be shown to others.”

Indeed, S City is only this big. She could hide it for a while, but not for forever. Since she wanted to meet with her daughter, then it’s impossible to tell a story without missing a single circumstance.

" "

“Now that Xiaoxiao already knew that she is her mother, if she doesn’t make it public, when they meet in public places and Xiaoxiao calls her mom, wouldn’t that make it appear that Xiaoxiao called the wrong person? Or it’s like what you’ve said, she will go to the kindergarten everyday and spoil her daughter in front of Xiaoxiao to make her sad?”

Grandpa Huo’s eyes were slightly sinking. His hand which was holding the cane unconsciously caressed and he sighed, “Go and tell her, if she wants to meet Xiaoxiao, she has to deal with her own family matter first. If she doesn’t handle it well, you can help her handle it, unless she promises never to see Xiaoxiao again. Tell her clearly about this, don’t let Xiaoxiao feel sad.”

“Don’t worry, I know what to do.”

Huo Suicheng contacted Ji Wenxin the next day. On the phone, he agreed to meet with her, but only if she told her husband about Xiaoxiao’s existence.

The phone is silent for a long time.

“If Ms Ji finds it difficult…”

“No, Mr. Huo, I agree. In fact, when I come back this time, I have made a plan to tell my husband about this. You can rest assured, I will tell my husband about it as soon as possible.”

“We’ll meet at the weekend. I hope you can take care of your family matters before the weekend.”

With that, Huo Suicheng hung up.

——

On Sunday, the sun shone brightly and the wind was mild. With a row of green plants outside the Huo residence. It was a good day for traveling.

Huo Suicheng put on a children’s watch to Huo Xiaoxiao, saying that he wanted to take her out to play and prevent her from getting lost.

In the car, Huo Xiaoxiao yawned and asked, “Daddy, where are we going?”

Before, she always stayed at home boringly and had only gone out several times. When she went out, it was like a new year.

Now that she’s already in kindergarten, she had to go everyday. Since she barely has a holiday, she just wanted to stay at home sleeping, but her father deliberately just pulls her out of bed to play.

They didn’t go out when she wanted to, and he deliberately pulled her to play when she didn’t want to.

Huo Xiaoxiao pulled a long face, and unwillingness was all written in her face.

“Didn’t you say you wanted to see mommy the other day?”

Huo Xiaoxiao was a little surprised. “So, are you going to take me to see her today? Aren’t you taking me out to play?”

Huo Suicheng asked her, “You don’t want to?”

“No, that’s not what I mean. I want to meet her, and I even have something to say to her. Are we almost there?” Huo Xiaoxiao looked out of the window, her face changed from reluctant to looking forward to it.

Obviously, Huo Suicheng was not very satisfied with the change of Huo Xiaoxiao’s attitude. He wanted to say something, but he swallowed it and frowned.

Huo Suicheng took her to a coffee shop with an elegant interior. Maybe it was because a cup of coffee with a sky high price makes people feel that it is not worth it, there were only a few people in the shop.

Both of them were sitting in a quiet corner. Huo Suicheng ordered a strawberry ice cream for her and put it in front of her.

The sudden love coming from her father took Huo Xiaoxiao by surprise. She looked at the ice cream in front of her and her father with half doubt. “Daddy, if you have something to say just say it, don’t be like this. I’m afraid.”

Huo Suicheng raised his eyebrows, “What did I do?”

“You never took the initiative to buy me ice cream before.”

“Not eating? If you’re not eating it, I’ll take it away.” Huo Suicheng picked up the ice cream on the table and pretended to leave.

Huo Xiaoxiao hurriedly used both hands to protect the ice cream on the table, “Daddy bought it for me, of course I’ll eat it!”

She picked up the spoon, bit a scoop full of ice cream, and put it near Huo Suicheng’s mouth, “Daddy, eat it.”

Huo Suicheng opened his mouth and swallowed it. The ice cream melted in his mouth instantly. It’s so sweet that it’s boring. No wonder children like it.

Seeing her father swallow it, Huo Xiaoxiao raised her spoon to glut herself. She was smiling while shivering out of cold.

Huo Suicheng sat silently on her opposite, clasping his hands in front while rubbing the thumb joints unconsciously.

“Daddy, what are you looking at me for?”

Huo Suicheng unnaturally shifted his gaze away from her, “Hasn’t your teacher taught you that you have to eat slowly? It’s all over your mouth.”

He picked up the tissue on the table and wiped the milk stain on the corner of Huo Xiaoxiao’s mouth.

From a distance, he saw a waiter bring Ji Wenxin to their side. Huo Suicheng gave a signal with his hand to stop her, and told Xiaoxiao, “Daddy will go first, I will pick you up later.”

Huo Xiaoxiao’s spoon stopped moving, then she looked back. As expected, she saw Ji Wenxin, and turned around in confusion, “Daddy, you’re not going to stay?”

“You can talk to her alone. It’s improper for Daddy to be here.” After speaking, he got up and went straight out.

The waiter brought Ji Wenxin over and she sat on Huo Xiaoxiao’s opposite .

“Xiaoxiao.”

Huo Xiaoxiao moved her gaze away from Huo Suicheng who was walking away, then looked at Ji Wenxin and showed a smile.

The first time they met alone, Ji Wenxin didn’t know what to say for a moment, so she just put the gift she brought on the table in a panic, and her hand trembled slightly when she opened it.

She carefully looked at Huo Xiaoxiao and said, “I don’t know what you like. I bought these for you. Take a look, do you like them?”

Huo Suichenglooked over. There was a lock charm and a gold bracelet. They were all gifts for the child, hoping that the child would be safe.

“Yes, I like them.”

Ji Wenxin was relieved and said with a smile, “You can take all these home.” She looked at the melted ice cream in front of Huo Xiaoxiao. “Do you like ice cream? I’ll order you another one.”

Huo Xiaoxiao shook her head, “No, daddy only bought me this one. If I eat another one, he’ll beat me.

Ji Wenxin frowned, “Beat you? He…even beat you?”

Huo Xiaoxiao smiled cunningly, “He doesn’t dare! He said he wants to beat me every time, but he would be stopped by grandpa. He doesn’t dare to beat me when grandpa is around!”

Ji Wenxin was more relaxed now, unlike when she first sat down.

“Looks like Old master Huo and Mr. Huo takes really good care of you. Do you know who I am?”

“I know. Daddy told me before, you are mommy.”

Ji Wenxin’s pupils shrank slightly, she was a little surprised.

Not because Huo Xiaoxiao knew who she was, but because she said who she was so frankly.

“Then do you know why mommy hasn’t been with you all these years?”

Huo Xiaoxiao shook her head, “Daddy didn’t tell me.”

“Then do you want to know?”

Huo Xiaoxiao shook her head again, “I don’t want to.”

“Why?

“Because I don’t need to know, you must have your reasons for not being with me. Daddy and grandpa are very kind to me, and I have a good time every day.”

From the time she was born, she knew that Ji Wenxin was not a hard-hearted mother who would ruthlessly throw her child away.

The only thing she didn’t understand was why Ji Wenxin didn’t appear after Huo Suicheng was ruined in Huo Xiaoxiao’s dream?

Ji Wenxin’s eyes were slightly wet. “It was mommy who wronged you. At that time, your dad and I had you by accident. I didn’t like your dad, and your dad didn’t like me either…”

“I know it takes two people who love each other to live together.”

“You know?”

“Of course I know,” Huo Xiaoxiao gave a simple example to make herself look more reliable. “Lu Jingyi in our class, his father and his mother love each other very much, so the three of them will be together. But Qi Yan’s parents don’t love each other, so Qi Yan lives with his father, not his mother.”

Ji Wenxin took a deep breath, her eyes reddened, “You are so smart.”

Huo Xiaoxiao smiled at her.

“Can Mommy sit by your side? I want to hug you.”

“Sure.”

Ji Wenxin got up and sat next to Huo Xiaoxiao,  she was a little overwhelmed at a close distance.

Huo Xiaoxiao put her hand around her waist to hug her, and her eyes fell on her flat abdomen.

She was pregnant for ten months and gave birth to a child.

“Did it hurt when you gave birth to me?”

“Xiaoxiao…”

“The teacher said that when a mother gives birth to a baby, it is very hard, very painful, and that there is a lot of blood. Some can’t even get up for many days. Were you yje same at that time?”

When Huo Xiaoxiao hugged her, her blood warmed. The unknown warmth and peace of mind almost made  Ji Wenxin cry.

She reached out and touched her head gently, but she didn’t have the courage to put any strength. She opened her mouth wanting to say something, but her throat seemed to be stuck by something but couldn’t make out a word.

No time is worth more than now.

“…Didn’t hurt.”

“You lied. It must have hurt.” Huo Xiaoxiao looked up at her and said, “Mommy, thank you for giving birth to me.”

At the end, she couldn’t bear the soreness of the tip of her nose. She reached out to hug Huo Xiaoxiao tightly into her arms, while trembling and choking with sob, “I’m so lucky that I protected you back then.”

“In the future, when you come to the kindergarten to pick up Qianqian, you can say hello to me. Qianqian has you, I have daddy and grandpa. I won’t be jealous of her.”

“Xiaoxiao, I’m sorry. Qianqian, she…”

“You don’t have to say sorry, and don’t be sad… because you weren’t with me back then. Actually, daddy, grandpa and I are very grateful to you.”

Ji Wenxin stroked her back one time after another, “You are so sensible.”

“Daddy and grandpa taught me!” Huo Xiaoxiao glanced at the flashing traces of the phone watch on her hand, she curled her lips, “Mommy, do you think I look more like Daddy or you?”

Ji Wenxin looked at her carefully, “Your eyes are like daddy, and your nose is like mommy. Generally, I would say, you are more like mommy. Why do you ask?”

“Because the next time someone talks about whether I look like daddy or mommy, I can tell them that I have eyes like daddy and nose like daddy. They won’t gossip any more.

After saying that, Huo Xiaoxiao asked another question, “Can I ask you why you left me back then?”

“Because… Mommy had someone that I liked so much back then. He had run into a bit of a problem, so mommy had to go abroad with him. Mommy also wanted to take you along, but you were too small, so mommy couldn’t do it.”

“Is it Qianqian’s daddy?”

“Yes.”

Huo Xiaoxiao now had generally guessed the circumstances, so she nodded, “Okay, now I know. Next time when someone asks me why my mommy didn’t want me, I can tell them it’s not that my mommy didn’t want me, but it was because I was too small, so I couldn’t go.”

Recalling those people who deliberately teased her, she felt really annoyed.

“Xiaoxiao…”

“Oh, I hate those who ask me all sorts of questions. Now I know the answer. I will tell them this later!”

Ji Wenxin couldn’t hold back her tears, with a red nose, she shook her and choked with sob, “I’m so sorry.”

Huo Xiaoxiao picked up the tissue on the table and wiped her tears. As she was wiping her tears, she saw white cream stains on the tissue and hurriedly pulled back

“You… Don’t cry, no one is blaming you, you’re only blaming  yourself. Well, I’ve talked to you now, and you’ve hugged me. I want to go home now.”

Ji Wenxin hastily took a tissue to wipe the tears on her face, “Mommy will you take you to the amusement park okay?”

Huo Xiaoxiao shook her head, “Not going, I’m sleepy.”

She shouted at the phone watch on her hand: “Daddy, come and pick me up!”
