Secret Marriage: Paparazzi Wife Long Time No See
Chapter 229
"I'm downstairs." Huo Chengbai's words were also simple, but at this moment Jiang Zhiling was not as excited as before.
Looking at the familiar car, the corners of Jiang Zhiling's mouth trembled, and she couldn't say a word.
Maybe it was the long silence that made the person on the phone a little anxious, so he said, "Can you hear what I said?"
"Yeah." The sound of "hmm" made Jiang Zhiling feel a little bit hard.
"What's wrong with you?" Huo Chengbai felt that something was wrong with the speaker.
Jiang Zhiling took a deep breath, and replied in a cheerful voice: "It's okay, I'm already outside, I'll go right away."
"Okay." Huo Chengbai still felt a little weird when he put down the phone.
Jiang Zhiling looked at the car for a long time, collected her emotions, checked her makeup, and walked out from the corner.
As she approached him step by step, Jiang Zhiling's feet became heavier and heavier, and she was not sure whether she was approaching the lover of her life or an ungrateful enemy who was so ungrateful that her mother died regardless of her enemies.
Continuously taking deep breaths to adjust her emotions, she finally came to Huo Chengbai's car, summoned up the courage to open the passenger door, and sat in.
She looked a little sad, Huo Chengbai wanted to reach out and touch her head and ask her why: "Why do you..."
He raised his hand halfway, Jiang Zhiling immediately dodged backwards, Huo Chengbai's hand froze in the air, a little dazed.
She didn't want Huo Chengbai to touch her, but after avoiding it, she felt the awkward atmosphere in the car, she said in a low voice: "Let's drive."
Huo Chengbai didn't understand why, her temper came from nowhere, thinking of having a good talk with her at the dinner table, he started the car.
The car started slowly, and Jiang Zhiling's eyes didn't know where to look. In the past, she would look at him without hesitation, but now, she felt that she was disrespectful to her mother if she looked at him more.
This matter is still uncertain, and she can't just listen to one side of the story, she comforted herself like this in her heart, and remained silent all the way until the restaurant.
Huo Chengbai got out of the car and opened the door for her, Jiang Zhiling glanced at him and walked down without saying anything.
"Let's go, the dishes in this restaurant are very special, you must like them." Huo Chengbai put his arms around her shoulders while talking.
Jiang Zhiling stopped instantly, Huo Chengbai looked at her suspiciously.
"Let go of me, I'm not in a good mood today." There was no warmth in the cold words.
Huo Chengbai still did not let go of her, and walked forward with his arms around her.
Jiang Zhiling had no choice but to speak a little louder: "Let go!"
"Shut up." Huo Chengbai hugged her tightly and said in a low and cold voice.
Jiang Zhiling was startled, he actually reprimanded her, she hadn't heard him speak in this tone for a long time, she even forgot what kind of person he used to be.
He is cold, always aloof, this is the original him.
In Jiang Zhiling's astonishment, the two came to a private room, Huo Chengbai put her on the stool, held her shoulders, looked at her struggling eyes, and said seriously: "What happened?"
What happened?How could he ask so easily? She didn't even find it easy to open her mouth, so she forced herself to calm down. She recovered some emotions and said, "Some small things, let's eat."
After all, Jiang Zhiling stopped looking at him, and looked at the dishes on the table, all of which were her favorite dishes, and a sense of warmth rose in her heart, but this warmth did not linger in the slightest before being replaced by sourness, with mixed flavors.
Seeing that she was unwilling to speak, Huo Chengbai sat down beside her, and took a bite of food for her: "Since you don't want to speak, let's talk about it when you want to."
Seeing his gentle appearance, Jiang Zhiling struggled extremely in her heart, picked up the bowl and ate it mouthful.
Huo Chengbai's heart relaxed a little, but his brows were still frowned.
"Chengbai, how do you know what I like to eat?" She fiddled with the rice in the bowl, but this was not the crux of the problem.
"Because I care about you." Huo Chengbai looked at her and said seriously.
Because of this sentence, the heavy atmosphere eased a little, Jiang Zhiling continued: "I remember ten years ago, I seemed to be still studying, Cheng Bai, what were you doing ten years ago?"
Huo Chengbai raised his head, thinking that she was nostalgic for the past: "I seemed to be running around the school set at that time."
"Oh." She replied in a low voice, her mother died ten years ago.
"So do you live in this place?" she continued.
"Well, yes." Huo Chengbai replied calmly.
Jiang Zhiling's hand paused slightly, he is here!Feeling depressed, she couldn't help but tighten her hand holding the chopsticks.
Seeing the subtle changes in her emotions, Huo Chengbai stretched out his hand to hold her hand: "What's wrong?"
"Ah! It's nothing." After a hasty reply, she ate quickly.
Huo Chengbai stopped talking, and looked at her silently, thinking that she must have something on her mind.
The air became silent again, and the two of them didn't say a word in the huge private room.
The bright sunshine in the afternoon shone on the hospital building, and Jiang Zhiling and Jing Yixi walked out of the door. Since she couldn't believe it, she asked Jing Yixi to lead her to confirm it for herself.
"My mother did go to Huo's villa to look for it, right?" She couldn't believe what she had just heard from the old doctor, so she reconfirmed with Jing Yixi.
"Yes. That's what he said." Jing Yixi told her with certainty.
Jiang Zhiling's heart sank again, and she seemed to be talking to herself faintly: "If I went to look for it, would someone have seen it?"
Jing Yixi's eyes lit up, then they sank again: "It should be."
"Okay, I want to go back to the villa."
"I'll come with you."
"No, I want to go back by myself." She didn't want anyone to follow her, she just wanted to face it by herself.
Walking out of the hospital gate and getting into the car, she disappeared at the end of the street in an instant, and within ten minutes, she drove the car to the gate of Huo's villa.
He honked the horn twice, and the door was quickly opened. At this time, Tang Yonglan and Huo Shuyan should be gathering with old friends, and the rest of them are even less likely to be at home. The car drew an arc in the yard and stopped in an instant. the door.
Jiang Zhiling got out of the car without even picking up the car keys. She desperately longed for another answer. When she walked into the hall, Wang Ma greeted with a smile, "Young Madam will come?"
"Yeah." She answered mechanically, and her eyes searched around in front of the servants at home, who might have worked here for more than ten years?
"Young Madam, it's really early today, let me make you a pot of tea." Wang Ma continued.
Hearing her voice, Jiang Zhiling turned her head to look at her, Wang Ma seemed to have been working in this family for a long time.
She smiled at her: "Wang Ma, no need, I just came back to take a look."
"Okay, Young Madam has something to call us." Wang Ma responded, turning around to get busy.
"Wang Ma!" Jiang Zhiling plucked up the courage to call her to stop.
"What's the matter? Young Madam?" Wang Ma turned around with a kind smile.
Jiang Zhiling was stunned. If Wang Ma gave her the answer, would she give up completely? She walked towards her: "Wang Ma? How long have you been working here?"
"Me~" Wang Ma thought for a while, "I think it's been more than ten years."
Although it was the answer she wanted, Jiang Zhiling felt a little nervous, and walked up to her: "I want to talk to you."
"Okay, young lady, if you have anything to say, feel free to ask."
Jiang Zhiling asked her to sit down with her, stared gently but nervously into her eyes and asked, "Do you remember, did a woman come to our house ten years ago?"
"This..." Wang Ma thought seriously: "There are a lot of people coming and going in our family, I don't know who you are talking about?"
"Is there a woman here to borrow money?"
"Hey, young lady, there are quite a few people who come to our house to borrow money. Can you be more specific?"
Jiang Zhiling had no choice but to think hard: "She is a very plainly dressed woman."
Wang Ma's eyes continued to roll, trying hard to think, Jiang Zhiling's heart continued to lift, and finally Wang Ma's eyes lit up: "There really is such a woman."
"What kind of woman?" Jiang Zhiling asked nervously.
"She was dressed in ordinary clothes, her complexion was not very good, and she was a little shaky when she walked. At that time, she said that she wanted to see the old lady, she looked very pitiful."
That's right, her mother was already critically ill at the time, and passed away not long after returning home, Jiang Zhiling's heart suddenly became sore.
"What happened later? What did that woman say?"
"She said that she wanted to ask the old lady for help, and said that nothing happened to her. She wanted to pay for the children's education, so she should have come to borrow money." Said Wang Ma finally told her definitely.
No matter what time it was, her mother was still thinking about her. Jiang Zhiling's eyes immediately became moist, she tried her best to control her emotions, and asked calmly, "What happened later? Did the old lady lend her any money?"
"No, I was kicked out by the original housekeeper. It is said that she still has the En and Huo family." Wang Ma was indignant for that woman.
Jiang Zhiling's heart suddenly died, how could grandma do it!His eyes were fixed on the front, but he couldn't focus.
Seeing that she was in a bad condition, Wang Ma asked, "What's the matter? Young Madam, what's wrong with you?"
"Ah! No, you can go get busy." Jiang Zhiling came back to her senses and answered her quickly, then walked out covering her mouth.
When she came to the car, Jiang Zhiling couldn't bear it anymore, she quickly opened the door, started the car, and disappeared into the yard in the blink of an eye.
"Why?" Her eyes were so blurred that she couldn't see the road ahead, but she still drove desperately.
At a fork in the road, she turned quickly, stopped on the side of the road, and lay on the steering wheel crying bitterly.
"Why! Grandma, why did you do that!" she cried, beating her legs.
She bit her lip tightly, and kept calling mom in her heart!She's sorry for her!Because she married the enemy's child and had a child.
"Woooo..." She almost fainted from crying, what should she do?She thought she was the luckiest person, she thought she could marry Huo Chengbai because she saved the Milky Way in her previous life, what a ridiculous joke!
Looking at the familiar car, the corners of Jiang Zhiling's mouth trembled, and she couldn't say a word.
Maybe it was the long silence that made the person on the phone a little anxious, so he said, "Can you hear what I said?"
"Yeah." The sound of "hmm" made Jiang Zhiling feel a little bit hard.
