Jiang Wu suddenly felt nervous and suspicious. She didn't know why the elder looked at her like this.
Then, Edmond said in accented Chinese, "What's your name?"
Jiang Wu was even more surprised that the leader of an overseas consortium could actually speak Chinese.
But then I thought, grandma said that it was not surprising that his deceased wife was from Beishi and could speak Chinese.
She was obedient and said in smooth Chinese: "My name is Jiang Wu, the sheep girl Jiang, the girl Wu Wu."
Edmond thought for a while, seemed to have thought of the two specific Chinese characters, then smiled and nodded.
Then the elder looked at the white and green Hanfu that had a spring atmosphere on her and said, "The clothes are very beautiful. I heard that you were in high school in country Y. How could you come here wearing such clothes?"
Jiang Wu hurriedly lowered her head and glanced at her clothes.
Does this elder think it’s inappropriate to dress like this?
And she wears this for her own selfish reasons.
The high school she attended was an aristocratic high school. The children in the school were all confident and brave enough to express themselves.
Of course, there will be a few who are in conflict, looking down on this and that.
People outside not only represent themselves.
She hopes that she can be so good in every aspect that those others can't catch up and compete!
Although the pocket money given by her grandma could easily afford her tuition and fees, there were many wealthy people in that school, so she couldn't afford to spend as much as others, so she could only shine in other places.
Five thousand years of domestic culture can give her a lot of confidence and confidence.
Seeing a rich man like Edmund, she was afraid of dressing too flamboyantly and feeling impetuous, and she was also afraid of dressing too shabbily and being looked down upon.
At the age of sixteen, it is also the time when you are feeling vanity.
So, she put on the Hanfu that she had tailor-made in China. The patterns on the clothes were all Beijing embroidery.
It was embroidered stitch by stitch by the descendants of Beijing Embroidery.
Thinking of this, Xiao Jiang Wu took a breath, raised a gentle and generous smile, and said: "Uncle Hui, I am a descendant of the Yan and Huang Dynasties. I think I look best in my country's traditional clothes, which is also the greatest respect for you. "
Her little face is pretty and her confidence shines.
Edmund was still smiling, his eyes were red, and his voice was a little deeper, "She is indeed a girl from Bei City. I met my lover for the first time. She was also wearing your traditional dress, which was... a cheongsam. "
"She's so confident, too."
Jiang Wu swallowed.
It turned out that this uncle thought of his lover because of her dress.
She was young and didn't understand what love was, so she smiled again.
Then Edmund looked at Cai Ning: "Mrs. Cai, your granddaughter is very good. I think Axel will not reject her when he sees her."
Having said that, he said to Jiang Wu, "Hello Jiang Wu, my son has suffered from high-functioning autism since he was a child. He doesn't know how to communicate with others and may not be able to introduce himself to you, so I will do it for him first." introduce."
"His name is Axel. He has done all his studies at home since he was a child and has no friends. Although he is twenty years old this year, he is very simple."
"When you talk to him, you can use English or Chinese. Although he can't speak Chinese, he can understand it. By the way, he has another name, Xiao, Shi, and Qing."
"Cao Tou Xiao, his mother's surname is Xiao, and she has loved her forever. His mother gave it to him before she passed away."
Edmund introduced his son gently and seriously, which caused a sentimental ripple in sixteen-year-old Jiang Wu's heart.
Then Edmund stood up and said, "Let Mrs. Cai take you to see Axel."
After leaving here.
Jiang Wu asked Cai Ning in a low voice: "Grandma, how can that little young master and brother have autism since he was a child even though he has such good parents?"
Cai Ning sighed, "The reason is his mother. His mother is the daughter of his grandparents. She has been in poor health since she was born, and it was even more difficult after pregnancy... It is said that she used a lot of medicine, which seems to be harmful to the fetus. It has some impact.”
"But it wasn't easy for his mother either. She gave birth to him in difficult labor and suffered massive hemorrhage, and later her whole body completely collapsed. For the sake of her son and Mr. Edmund, she endured all kinds of painful treatments until Axel was seven years old. She couldn't hold on any longer and left. died."
After Jiang Wu heard this, she thought of her mother.
She couldn't love her father and was depressed. When she and her grandmother were out shopping, a man inexplicably went out and died in a car accident.
She pursed her lips and said, "Grandma, it's terrible to talk about relationships. After you get married, you have to sacrifice a lot to have children. If you don't get married but love, it's very sad to become like my mother."
Cai Ning smiled heartily, "I'm very happy that you can think of grandma like this, and you won't fall in love prematurely, right?"
"I definitely won't!" Jiang Wu raised her chin and said firmly, "I want to be a world-class pianist!"
While chatting and laughing with grandma again, they arrived at the door of a room.
The door is a double-open brown-red color with exquisite carvings and a very gorgeous European style.
A sign hangs on the left side that reads "Axel Kingsley."
Jiang Wu didn't see it at a glance. What else was she going to say? Cai Ning patted her shoulder gently: "Okay, darling, we're here."
Jiang Wu took a breath immediately, then saw the name on the door and read it silently.
Then he said to Cai Ning, "Grandma, do you think I should say hello later?"
"Axel, I'm Aurora?"
Aurora is the foreign name she gave herself.
Cai Ning smiled, "Where did your confidence go in front of Mr. Edmund just now? Just introduce yourself in your hometown dialect. Although that kid Axel is simple and doesn't have much social contact, he is four years older than you. Let's call him brother. Listen. Be kind."
"Although the child is autistic and does not communicate with others, he also loves his mother very much. I have discovered many times that when he is alone, he will silently read the Tang poetry and Song lyrics that his mother taught him when he was a child. He will like you to say it more. Chinese."
Jiang Wu pursed her lips and nodded.
Then, Cai Ning raised her hand and pressed the doorbell.
The doorbell rang, and after a pause of about ten seconds, there was no movement inside the door.
Jiang Wu tilted her head: "Is there no one there?"
Cai Ning shook her head: "No, that child gets nervous every time he hears the doorbell. He must be mentally preparing inside now."
Jiang Wu frowned: "Grandma, after listening to you say so much, I feel that he is different from the autistic patients I have seen before."
Cai Ning nodded: "Yes, this is normal. We humans have seven emotions and six desires, which is very mysterious."
These words have just been spoken.
The door suddenly opened from the inside.
The moment Jiang Wu looked over, she almost forgot to breathe.
Behind the door, a tall, thin, cold-skinned young man was wearing loose black casual clothes.
His hair was a bit long, and was casually tied at the back of his head with a leather band. There were pieces of hair hanging down from the temples on both sides, which framed his face. It was as beautiful as the most proud masterpiece of a master sculptor.
What a beautiful brother.
