The woman on the other end of the phone was silent for a few seconds, as if she felt guilty, and then hung up the phone in a hurry.
After a long time afterwards, Gu Mingyan thought of the phone call and suddenly realized that the call might have been from Jiang Shuhui.
But what's the use?
Her brother is dead.
She did not fulfill her responsibilities as a mother during her lifetime, and there is no need to pretend to be a good mother after her death.
When we arrived at KFC, Uncle Huang came up to us: "Miss Mingyan, this way."
Gu Mingyan closed the car door and looked towards the floor-to-ceiling windows.
Sitting there were her brother and Jiang Shuhui.
Gu Mingyan looked away and said to the driver: "Please drive the car over here. I'll go in and find my brother. I'll be out soon."
"good."
The driver went to find the car, and Gu Mingyan opened the door of KFC and went in.
As I got closer, I saw several large and small boxes placed at the foot of the table.
It should be a meeting gift that Jiang Shuhui bought for her brother, and the table was also filled with all kinds of food.
French fries, fried chicken, burgers, egg tarts, sundaes, and Coke.
"I remember Mingyang, you liked to eat these when you were a child. Mom would order them all for you, so you could eat them all at once."
The woman's kind and smiling voice sounded, and Gu Mingyan stood behind them, watching coldly.
He interrupted the woman's self-movation: "I liked eating it when I was a kid, but that doesn't mean I like it now."
Jiang Shuhui turned around, and Gu Mingyan came into her eyes.
She is thin and neither tall nor short.
She was wearing a white women's shirt, casually tucked into light blue jeans, and a pair of sneakers on her feet, which looked refreshing.
Jiang Shuhui's eyes moved slightly and she couldn't help but stand up: "Mingyan, you have grown up."
Gu Mingyan said calmly: "You are getting old too."
Jiang Shuhui didn't pay attention to her attack, and just smiled gently: "I know you have resentment towards me, and I didn't come here to quarrel with you. Why don't you sit down and we, mother and son, have a good meal, okay?"
"I'm sorry, Ms. Jiang, I don't have time to play this mother-child game with you. My brother has to go back to practice his homework, so I'll excuse you now."
Gu Mingyan said, holding her brother's hand and going out.
"Mingyan." Jiang Shuhui held her hand, her eyes red, "I am your mother, is it so difficult to have a good meal with you?"
Gu Mingyan didn't want to talk nonsense to her, so she waved directly to Uncle Huang.
Uncle Huang who was standing outside the door came in.
Gu Mingyan asked Uncle Huang to take her brother into the car first.
Jiang Shuhui subconsciously tried to pull Gu Mingyang, but Gu Mingyan raised her hand to block it. Then she sat down in the chair and said to Jiang Shuhui: "It's not difficult to eat. Ms. Jiang, sit down and we'll eat together." Let’s chat, after this meal, speak clearly, and don’t waste each other’s time in the future.”
Jiang Shuhui looked at Gu Mingyan who was not in a hurry and was stunned for a moment.
It seemed that he didn't expect that the little girl he had left behind would grow into the calm and calm person he is now.
Gu Mingyan stuffed the straw into the Coke and drank two sips of the Coke with ice. She felt the cold liquid flow down her throat and into her stomach before she spoke: "Let me tell you this, I have no affection for you at all. After more than ten years of separation, you are only a name in my heart. Coaxing my brother with these food and drinks may have an effect, but to me, it is quite ridiculous."
Jiang Shuhui seemed to have received a huge blow, her face turned pale, "We are mother and daughter after all, how can you think like this..."
"Then what do you think I should think? I'll call you mom affectionately and pretend that nothing happened?"
"I just want to restore the family relationship. After all, you are my children, the flesh that fell from my body."
"Do you know now that you want to restore our relationship? It's too late." Gu Mingyan put the Coke on the table and took out a hundred-dollar bill. "This meal is my treat. Please don't disturb my brother and I's life in the future."
After saying that, he turned around and left.
Jiang Shuhui watched her leave with complicated eyes.
Jiang Weiping came out of the bathroom and said angrily: "This damn girl has no humanity at all! You are her mother, listen to what she says! Just wait, I will call her back and let her admit her mistake to you!"
Jiang Shuhui shook her head: "Take your time, her resentment towards me is too deep and cannot be resolved in a moment."
**
When Gu Mingyan got in the car, her brother was staring out the window in a daze.
The place he was looking at was in the direction of KFC.
Gu Mingyan pursed her lips, pulled her brother back, and asked Uncle Huang to drive away.
After returning, her brother hid in his room and stopped playing with his favorite Rubik's Cube.
Zhang Ma and the others noticed that her brother was unhappy and went to deliver food in various ways, but her brother still showed no interest.
This also caused Gu Mingyan to be in a bad mood and didn't even take a bite of dinner.
She originally wanted to persuade her brother to be reasonable, but she was afraid that her brother would miss Jiang Shuhui even more, so she simply left it alone. As long as they were not allowed to meet, her brother would forget about it in two days.
But she really underestimated Jiang Shuhui's perseverance. For two days in a row, she waited at the school gate.
Breakfast delivered in the morning.
Bring drinks in the evening.
Gu Mingyan endured it again and again, but couldn't hold it back, "I told you not to disturb us. Are you unable to listen to what others say?"
Jiang Shuhui said cautiously: "I won't disturb you, I'll just watch from a distance."
"That's not OK!"
"Ming Yan..."
"Don't come again."
After leaving these words, Gu Mingyan left angrily.
But unexpectedly, Gu Mingyan went to pick up her brother on Friday and saw Jiang Shuhui again.
Looking at Gu Mingyan's cold and annoyed face, Jiang Shuhui looked very uneasy, as if she was afraid that she would come and drive her away.
Gu Mingyan felt that this woman was like psoriasis, she couldn't tear it off if she got it on.
When her brother came out, Gu Mingyan was just about to go over when she saw her brother happily running towards Jiang Shuhui.
Jiang Shuhui smiled and tidied up her brother's clothes, then put the food box in his hand, "Mingyang, these are the buns made by my mother. I remember that when you and Mingyan were young, you and Mingyan liked to eat the buns I made the most. .”
Gu Mingyang's eyes lit up.
Jiang Shuhui saw Gu Mingyan walking over with a sullen face, and touched Ming Yang's face, "Mom, let's go first. You and your sister should share the buns."
But before she even took two steps, Jiang Shuhui was stopped by Gu Mingyan.
Gu Mingyan called Jiang Shuhui aside and pursed her lips, "What on earth are you going to do?"
"I didn't want to do anything, I just wanted to talk to you two brothers and sisters."
"Bullshit, I don't believe that you disappeared for more than ten years and suddenly came back to talk to us. What do you want to do? Don't hide it. You tell me. If I can satisfy you, I will try my best to satisfy you. Just I hope you get what you want and don’t appear in front of my brother in the future.”
Jiang Shuhui smiled bitterly: "I really just want to talk to you two siblings and repair the relationship."
She paused: "If I have any selfish motives, then I do. I want to take you two brothers and sisters to live in the capital."
