Chapter 04 Cheng Ximing's unknown little sorrow 3
Mr. Chi has been on a business trip recently, and only Mother Yao is at home.
Mother Yao was surprised to hear that we were going out to eat.
I originally wanted to tell Mother Yao the truth. After all, if she knew that Chi Yanze was going to have dinner with Cheng Xijun and the others, she would definitely object.
But if we don't go, Cheng Xijun and the others will definitely think Chi Yanze is a coward and look down on him even more.
I don't want Chi Yanze to be laughed at all times, because I know he is not what those people say he is.
When I didn't know how to explain, Yao's mother looked at us suspiciously: "Why do you suddenly want to go out to eat? Why didn't you tell us beforehand?"
"Xijun and the others want to get together with Xiaoyan." I tried hard to keep it a secret for him, but Chi Yanze said it himself.
Hearing this, Mother Yao's face changed instantly. What surprised her even more was that Chi Yanze actually took the initiative to talk to her.
Mother Yao was stunned for a long time before she thought of stopping him: "No, Master. The Cheng family and your family are in a very bad relationship now. The young master of the Cheng family always bullies you, and you are not good at speaking. If you eat with them, what will happen..."
"It's okay, I can do it." Before Yao's mother finished speaking, Chi Yanze interrupted her and said, "Xiao Yan, go change your clothes."
Chi Yanze's tough attitude surprised both Yao's mother and me. Compared to us, Chi Yanze looked very calm. He even walked and put his hands on our shoulders.
"I'll go change my clothes too." After saying that, Chi Yanze turned and walked towards his room, a determined gleam in his eyes.
I suddenly felt that the boy was slowly crawling out of the cocoon that trapped him, just as everyone in this family expected.
Mother Yao didn't say anything , but prepared some very nice clothes for me.
My long hair was tied into a ponytail, and the off-white skirt was wrapped tightly around my slender body. I wore a pink fluffy coat on the outside, which kept me warm even in winter. I also wore a pair of over-the-knee black boots with cute little fluffy tails on the back.
I looked at myself in the mirror in amazement, not believing that the person in it was me.
Since my parents left, no one has bothered to dress me up. I don't know how to dress myself, so I usually dress like a wild girl. Although I don't want to admit it, it's really not good-looking.
But now I know that I look good when I dress up.
"Every season, I would buy a set of clothes for our Xiaoyan, always hoping that one day she would come back to wear them. In fact, more than ten years have passed, and I knew that the chances of that child coming back were slim, but I still kept looking forward to it. This set of clothes is quite suitable for you, and I seem to see my Xiaoyan coming back..." Mother Yao said emotionally, with crystal tears flashing in her eyes, and she choked up and could not continue.
This is the first time I've seen her speak so softly.
Mother's love is truly the greatest love in the world.
Woohoo…
I suddenly thought of my parents. If they were still alive, I wouldn’t have to pretend to be someone else’s daughter.
"No matter what, Qiqi, I still have to thank you. Because of your coming, the master's heart knot seems to have been slowly untied. He is no longer as withdrawn as before and has been living in his own world. Moreover, today is the first time he has spoken to me in all these years. Do you know how happy I am? If the gentleman knew about this, he would definitely be very happy too. Qiqi, you did a great job." Mother Yao helped me tidy up my clothes and continued, "I watched the master grow up. He used to be a very lively and strong-willed child. If it weren't for Xiaoyan, he wouldn't be what he is now. He always felt that Xiaoyan's affairs were his own fault, so he felt very guilty towards me and the child's father. Although we didn't blame him, he didn't dare to face us at first and didn't say a word to us. Gradually, he stopped talking to anyone."
"Well, Mother Yao, don't worry. Xiaoze has been getting better these days. In fact, as long as he is willing to speak, he is just like a normal person. He is smart, thoughtful, and has strong language skills. If he can successfully deal with Cheng Xijun and the others at the dinner, it means that he has almost recovered."
Seeing how excited Mother Yao was, I couldn't help but say a series of words to comfort her.
"That's good! Sir, you did the right thing. Xiaoyan is indeed the source of the young master's worries. With someone replacing Xiaoyan, all the guilt and shadows for the young master will disappear. Qiqi, this dress really suits you. At this moment, you are the real Xiaoyan. You have to help us take care of the young master tonight, so that he can face outsiders bravely and communicate with others normally." Mother Yao said, looking at me in the mirror.
" Well, don't worry, I'll take care of everything! I will complete the task successfully." I patted my chest and promised, while looking at my cute self in the mirror with a bright smile on my face.
I always thought that Yao's mother didn't like me. She was unwilling to talk to me every time and only asked about Chi Yanze's performance in school. Now I realized that she was just not used to a strange girl suddenly living with her instead of her daughter.
She really felt sorry for Chi Yanze, so when she saw him getting better, she also knew that my replacement for Yao Haiyan was not in vain, so she understood what Mr. Chi did and began to accept me.
Now, after listening to her say so much, my heart is filled with emotion.
Before leaving, Mother Yao gave me a very beautiful hairpin and said it was bought for me by my aunt.
Last time I borrowed Yao's father's phone to call my aunt, but she didn't answer. Later, when she saw the missed call, she called back and bought some things for Yao's father to pass on to me.
Father Yao was busy with work and soon forgot about this matter until a few days ago. Before going on a business trip with Mr. Chi, he handed over the things my aunt bought for me in the car to Mother Yao.
I pinned the hairpin on my hair with great joy. This was the first time my aunt gave me such a thing.
I feel very warm, as if all the happy things are happening to me.
At the gate of the Chi family villa, I saw Chi Yanze who had been waiting for a long time.
I think the prince waiting for the princess in the fairy tale must be the same as the one standing in front of me now. He is well-dressed and elegantly behaved. He looks back casually and sees the person coming. He smiles gently and steps forward to greet you, as if you are the most beautiful princess in the world.
But if the princess was replaced by Cinderella, would the prince still be so happy?
