After the mother was reborn, she was deeply involved in the battle for favor between her sons

Perhaps it was because of the sadness, or maybe it was because the topic happened to be about her mother, Ji Yuqiao suddenly wanted to speak out her heart.

"Although my mother died early, I met someone who is as gentle as my mother," said Ji Yuqiao.

When she was seven or eight years old, Ji Tingyang and Ji Zeqiu would take turns picking her up from school because they were worried about her being alone.

But for some reason, neither of them came that day.

Seeing that most of the students in the school had left, Ji Yuqiao stood at the school gate and gradually became flustered.

I started to find my way home.

As it grew darker, she stood in an empty alley and began to cry.

She cried heartbreakingly, and her cries echoed in the alley.

"Isn't this Yu Qiao from our family? Why are you crying so sadly?" A hoarse and slightly kind voice sounded.

An old lady with silver hair and a hunched body walked towards her step by step, leaning on a cane.

The old woman had a kind smile on her wrinkled face and reached out to touch her head. "Tell me, grandma, why are you crying?"

"I... I can't find the way home..." Ji Lanyue looked at the old man with tears in her eyes and hiccuped.

"Don't be afraid, grandma will take you home now." The old woman took Ji Lanyue's hand and walked out of the alley.

Ji Lanyue thought she was going to take her to find her brother, but she ended up taking her to a strange and shabby little room.

"This is not my home! You are a bad guy! Let me go!" Ji Lanyue thought she had met the human traffickers that Ji Tingyang often talked about, and she was so scared that she kicked and bit the old man.

The old man felt pain and loosened his grip on her hand.

Ji Lanyue took the opportunity to slip away without even daring to look back.

She ran to the road crying and was finally found by the police and sent back to her relatives' home.

"I'm so sorry that the child was running around. It really troubled you." The relative thanked the police uncle.

Ji Tingyang and Ji Zeqiu held Ji Yuqiao's hands, sweating profusely, their clothes were covered with mud, and they apologized to her tremblingly.

"I'm sorry, brother was late today and didn't pick you up..."

Ji Lanyue hugged Ji Tingyang's neck with both hands, hung on his body and cried bitterly, "Brother, there are bad guys over there, you almost can't see me..."

From then on, Ji Tingyang and Ji Zeqiu never dared to be late again.

Ji Lanyue thought that the matter was over, but she didn't expect that a few days later, she met the old man again at the school gate.

The old woman stood at the school gate, constantly sticking her head out to look inside. After meeting Ji Lanyue's gaze, she smiled and waved at Ji Lanyue.

Ji Lanyue was startled and quickly complained to the teacher: "Teacher, there are bad guys over there. That old lady is a human trafficker! Last time she shouted someone else's name at me and took me to another place!"

The teacher looked over, sighed after seeing the old lady, and explained to her: "The old lady is not a bad person, she is just sick and mistook you for her granddaughter."

What kind of disease would cause one to mistake his granddaughter for his own?

Ji Lanyue didn’t understand.

But after hearing the teacher say that the old man was not a bad person, she breathed a sigh of relief and put down her guard.

Later, during the physical education class, Ji Lanyue was running in the playground and accidentally fell.

Pain spread from her knees, and as soon as her tears began to well up, a pair of wrinkled hands embraced her.

"Yu Qiao, don't cry, don't cry. Grandma will hug you and fly away happily..." The old woman didn't know how she came in. She hugged her and coaxed her softly.

Ji Lanyue didn't know how, but she stopped crying.

"Yu Qiao is so good. Grandma will give you some candy." The old woman took out a candy from her ragged pocket and handed it to her.

I don’t know how long this piece of candy has been there, and there are still a few pieces of black mold on it.

"Grandma, you can't eat expired candy, it will make you sick." Ji Lanyue said.

"Is that so? It's all grandma's fault. Can I take you to buy new candies?" The old woman looked annoyed.

"No, school will be over in a few minutes. My brother will be worried if he can't see me." Ji Lanyue shook her head and said goodbye to her.

However, unexpectedly, the old man came again the next day, this time with his pockets full of new candies, which he stuffed into Ji Lanyue's schoolbag.

"Grandma bought this secretly, Yuqiao must hide it well, otherwise if mom and dad find out when you get home, it will be confiscated." The old man warned.

Ji Lanyue scratched his head.

Her parents died a long time ago.

Then on the third day, the fourth day...

Ji Lanyue would meet the old man at the school gate every day. The old man was very gentle. He would hold her in his arms and tell her stories, and also buy her a lot of delicious food.

"Yu Qiao, if there's anything you want to eat in the future, just tell grandma and I'll buy it for you." The old woman said with a smile.

"Grandma, you are so nice!"

Ji Lanyue thought, the warmth of maternal love that teachers often talk about, is this the feeling?

It feels so good.

However, the good times did not last long.

Half a month later, she never saw the old man at the school gate again.

Ji Lanyue couldn't help it and ran to ask the teacher.

The teacher told her that the old man was hit by a car while crossing the road and died.

"She usually doesn't cross the road when she goes out. I don't know why she took that road that day. I heard that when she was hit, she was holding a box of colored pencils in her hand."

Ji Lanyue stood there in a daze.

She suddenly remembered what she had mumbled to the old man a few days ago: "I want a box of colored pencils."

Every time she had art class, other students had colorful crayons, but she only had a black pencil.

She didn't dare ask her brothers for money, because they would definitely secretly save the money for breakfast to buy her colored pencils.

But I didn't expect that because of her words...

His eye sockets suddenly felt sore, and Ji Lanyue felt as if his chest was pierced by a needle, with a continuous and intense pain.

When she returned home that night, she locked herself in her room and cried for a long time. No matter how Ji Tingyang and Ji Zeqiu tried to persuade her, it was useless.

The next day, with red and swollen eyes, she told Ji Tingyang that she wanted to change her name.

"No! Your name was given by your mother and cannot be changed." Ji Tingyang and Ji Zeqiu refused righteously.

Ji Lanyue cried and made a fuss.

At that time, she felt that the old grandmother was much closer than the blank mother.

Relying on her brother's love for her, she resolutely chose to go on a hunger strike. After two or three days of soft and hard tactics, they finally reluctantly agreed.

When Ji Yuqiao thinks about it now, she feels that she was too willful back then.

After hearing what she said, Lin Xu smiled.

It seems that her willful character is largely due to the pampering of her two brothers.

"By the way, what was your previous name?" Lin Xu asked curiously.
