Chapter 235 Mom is Angry Again
"Lingyue, waaaaah..."
Before Qiu Lingyue could fully react, Lian Yuzhu had already thrown herself into her arms.
"Waaaaah... Thank goodness! You're alive!! Am I dreaming? Waaaaah..."
Seeing this, Ji Ran silently took two steps back.
Why do all these people like hugging and cuddling so much?
"Xiao Leng, this is..." Jiang Baishen's puzzled voice sounded from behind.
Ji Ran turned around and saw Jiang Baishen behind him, and Jiang Manxi, who was equally bewildered, beside him.
"Oh, this is my mother," Ji Ran explained in a lukewarm tone.
"Huh???" Jiang Baishen and Jiang Manxi exclaimed at the same time.
They knew that their mother had a very close aunt named Lingyue, but they heard that she had run away a long time ago and had not been heard from since, and they had never seen her again.
After Ji Ran came to our house last time, I learned from my father that Ji Ran might be Aunt Ling Yue's child.
At the time, I just felt that fate was a wonderful thing. But then I thought that since Ji Ran had become an orphan, Aunt Lingyue must have passed away long ago.
But... unexpectedly, the person came back alive and well.
Ji Ran looked at the shocked expressions on their faces, wondering what they were so surprised about.
What brings you here today?
Upon hearing this, Jiang Baishen snapped out of his daze:
"By the way... we've seen the news online these past two days, and you haven't replied to our messages. We're all worried about you, so we came to check on you."
Ji Ran said "Oh," and then started eating the cake by herself.
When Lian Yuzhu finally reluctantly let go of Qiu Lingyue, she sobbed and pulled the two children over to her.
“These are my children, Bai Shen and Man Xi. Quick, call them Aunt Ling Yue.”
Upon recognizing the face that bore a resemblance to Ji Ran, Jiang Baishen and Jiang Manxi immediately greeted him politely.
Qiu Lingyue nodded lovingly in response, and couldn't help but sigh:
"Bai Shen has grown so tall."
Jiang Manxi, who was standing next to her, was just an unborn fetus when she left.
Now she has grown into a graceful and elegant young woman.
But seeing the Jiang siblings adorned with expensive jewelry and dressed in extraordinary attire, her heart burned even more intensely.
Her daughter should have grown up to be just as glamorous and beautiful.
But if you turn the camera around, you'll see the daughter, without any makeup, wearing the most ordinary black t-shirt and plaid casual pants, eating the cake she made like a child.
It was just a cake, something most children her age would have gotten tired of long ago, but she ate it so earnestly, as if it were a precious treasure.
Besides, how good could a cake I made for the first time possibly be? It would definitely be awful.
Her poor child...
Feeling the awkward silence that suddenly filled the air, Ji Ran abruptly stopped chewing and looked at her mother with some confusion.
She saw her mother look at her with a complex and conflicted expression, her eyes filled with deep self-reproach and dissatisfaction.
Then, Qiu Lingyue took two steps to Ji Ran and gently took the plate and spoon from her hand.
"This doesn't taste good, Mom will make it for you again." With that, she turned and left without looking at Lian Yuzhu and her two children again.
“Lingyue…” Lian Yuzhu called out worriedly, but received no reply.
"Huh?" Ji Ran was also caught off guard by her mother's sudden situation, her hands still in the position of having her plate and spoon taken away.
"Sister Leng... what happened to your mother?" Jiang Manxi asked anxiously.
Ji Ran looked in the direction her mother had left and shook her head blankly.
"I do not know either……"
She turned to look at Lian Yuzhu's hurt expression, and thinking that she was a true friend of her mother, she decided to explain a few words on her mother's behalf.
She roughly described how her mother's consciousness had been dormant for 20 years and had only just awakened in the last two days, leading to a drastic change in her temperament, which might make her prone to extremism.
After hearing this, Lian Yuzhu felt even more sorry for her older sister, and tears streamed down her face.
Jiang Baishen and his sister were also shocked by this fact, and then nodded to show their understanding.
"Well... why don't you go back first, and come back another day when my mother is more emotionally stable?"
Ji Ran tried to comfort her, saying that she was also afraid that her mother would be further traumatized, even though she didn't understand what had traumatized her mother this time.
Lian Yuzhu nodded weakly.
Even if you miss your friend terribly, you have to give her time to recover.
Then she looked at Ji Ran and asked somewhat angrily:
"Xiao Leng, where is Qin Wenzhou?"
Where did that loser go?
He doesn't care that his own daughter is being falsely accused online!
His former lover suffered so much, and he didn't even stay by her side!
Jiang Baishen and Jiang Manxi exchanged a glance. Neither of them knew about Qiu Lingyue and Qin Wenzhou's relationship, nor did they know about Qin Wenzhou's relationship with Ji Ran.
They were both baffled by their mother's question.
Why is Mom questioning Xiao Leng about Qin Wenzhou's matter?
"I went to buy caviar," Ji Ran replied truthfully.
Lian Yuzhu got even angrier, "He still has the mind to buy caviar! I think his brain is full of caviar!"
"My mother asked him to buy it," Ji Ran answered honestly again, not feeling that she was explaining for Qin Wenzhou.
Upon hearing this, Lian Yuzhu immediately lost her temper, "Then... alright."
Jiang Manxi was completely confused, and seeing the Qin family's black-clad bodyguards at the door, she couldn't help but ask:
"Little Leng... Uncle Qin is yours..."
Before Ji Ran could reply, Jiang Baishen made a bold guess:
"Father?"
Ji Ran didn't try to hide it and nodded directly.
"Huh?!!" Jiang Manxi exclaimed in shock, as Lian Yuzhu slapped her on the shoulder.
"No loud noises allowed."
"Ouch!" Jiang Manxi cried out in pain, rubbing the spot where her mother had slapped her.
“Alright then, Xiao Leng,” Lian Yuzhu said, her tone softening completely. “Then we’ll head back now. If you or your mother need anything, be sure to call your aunt, okay?”
The three younger relatives were stunned. Ji Ran also remembered that she had promised the other party to call her "Auntie" last time, so she kept her word.
"Got it, auntie."
Lian Yuzhu's heart softened instantly. She smiled and patted Ji Ran's shoulder lightly, then forcibly pulled her two children away.
As I turned around, I also took a quick look around the yard.
It seems the child is living in a good environment; the courtyard is well-built, the greenery is carefully trimmed, and the walls are very artistic.
She naturally had no idea that these were all changes that Qin Wenzhou had had people working overtime over the past two days to revise.
Even if she knew, she wouldn't praise Qin Wenzhou; she would only mock him for not doing this sooner.
The courtyard fell silent again. Sensing the girl's anxiety, a tall figure appeared beside her.
Ji Ran leaned helplessly on a familiar shoulder and sighed.
Mom seems angry again, but even she doesn't know why.
