Ling Yijin often fell into conflicts and entanglements. Cao Wanrou showed off in front of her from time to time, which gradually changed her mentality. Although her brother was a big star and her father was a hotel manager, she still lived an ordinary life. day.
On the one hand, he was jealous of the sister who was sent to be raised by a wealthy father. Her monthly living expenses might be the cost of a meal, and this money was already half of Ling Qicheng's salary.
Ling Yijin once saw the parent of a classmate who was arrogant in front of others and looked respectful when meeting Cao Wanrou and Cao Chuanfeng.
She couldn't tell what was different. Later she learned a word, class.
She was often ashamed of her greed. While she enjoyed Ling Qicheng's selfless father's love, she did not want to give up the power, wealth and status brought by her biological father. Moreover, she clearly felt that whenever Cao Chuanfeng praised her, the man who always had a low mood would The mother seemed to be more gentle when she looked at herself.
In the Ling family, she and Ling Yifeng received the same amount of love from their fathers. Although Song Nana didn't have much maternal love, she was always the first choice between her and Ling Yifeng.
So even though she felt a little sorry for her brother who loved her so much, this feeling of being favored often made her feel secretly happy.
But in the Cao family, she could feel that Cao Chuanfeng treated her and Cao Wanrou more like a polite elder, but Song Nana would take away all her preference for Ling Yijin in front of Cao Wanrou.
Give all your love to Cao Wanrou.
Ling Yijin once asked, and the answer she got was always: "My mother has been by your side since you were a child, but my sister's adoptive mother is not qualified. My sister has not had her mother by her side since she was a child, so Xiaojin can't be so selfish. Okay?"
Ling Yijin really wanted to say no, but she knew it would be useless even if she said so. But people always like to pursue things that they can't hold. The more they do this, the more they don't want to let go.
So when Song Nana filed for divorce, Ling Yijin had a feeling that it was coming.
Although she was attached to Ling Qicheng's father's love, she still chose to follow Song Nana. She was afraid that once she let go, the little remaining maternal love would disappear.
When Cao Wanrou made the front page of the social media in such a disgraceful way, Ling Yijin felt a little gloating in her heart.
She just wanted Song Nana to understand that Cao Wanrou didn't deserve others to treat her so well. She would only keep embarrassing the people around her.
However, no matter what Cao Wanrou became, Song Nana still worried about her and even took her anger out on Ling Yijin.
What saddened Ling Yijin the most was that she never made a single phone call after they had been arguing for so many days.
Seeing that it was another weekend, Ling Yijin really didn't want to live in the school anymore, but she didn't know where to go.
So when Ling Qicheng called again, Ling Yijin felt her nose was sore and picked up the phone without hesitation: "Dad~"
"Xiaojin, what's wrong with you? Are you crying? Who bullied you? Tell daddy and daddy will help you teach him a lesson.?"
Ling Yijin couldn't help but burst into tears and smiled: "Hey, no, I just miss you and my brother a little."
Opposite him, Ling Qicheng hadn't heard his daughter act coquettishly for a long time, so he couldn't help but be overjoyed. After all, since the child was getting older, he and he hadn't kissed her since they were children.
Ling Qicheng always attributed this to the girl's puberty, so when Ling Yijin proposed to follow Song Nana during the divorce, Ling Qicheng finally agreed despite being very reluctant.
Feeling that his daughter seemed to be extra patient today, Ling Qicheng tentatively said, "Xiao Jin, why don't you come to dad's place this weekend? Dad will make you your favorite fried shrimps and plum pork ribs."
Ling Yijin sniffed and said coquettishly, "I also want to eat the pimple soup made by dad."
"no problem!"
Ling Yijin seemed to be able to see the happy face of his father on the other end of the phone.
When he was about to go back to the dormitory to pack up and leave tomorrow, he accidentally ran into Song Nana waiting downstairs.
Ling Yijin couldn't tell what she felt at that moment, whether she was more secretly happy or something else. She should be happy that her mother, whom she had always cared about, still remembered her.
But he couldn't forgive her so quickly, otherwise what if he felt that he was so easy to coax and would be more unscrupulous in his favor in the future.
So I planned to pretend I couldn't see it.
But seeing Song Nana who seemed much haggard, with chapped lips, and bruises on her neck that even the silk scarf couldn't cover, Ling Yijin couldn't continue to pretend not to care.
So under Song Nana's show of weakness and a few soft words, Ling Yijin decided to postpone the agreement with Ling Qicheng first.
At the school gate, he accidentally met Gu Yian, who came to pick up the child named Gu Yiling. Ling Yijin didn't have any bad feelings towards this half-sister. Generally speaking, because of the variety show, he was considered a Just a nod.
After all, this sister, who had been living outside since she was a child, had no parents since she was a child. She was supposed to be the little princess held in the palms of the Cao and Gu families, but in the end, she never even met her biological mother.
The relationship with Cao Chuanfeng was on the same level again. She had heard many times that Cao Chuanfeng, Song Nana and Cao Wanrou were dissatisfied and malicious towards Gu Yi'an behind their backs.
She felt this was wrong, but she didn't want to disobey Song Nana for her sake.
And she found that Gu Yian didn't seem to be very friendly to her brother Ling Yifeng. When recording the variety show, she thought it was a woman's retreat to advance, but later she found that it was indifference from the bottom of her heart.
After all, Ling Yijin would feel a little offended if his brother who had loved him for so many years was disliked inexplicably, so of course Ling Yijin would stand with him.
So even if he met Gu Yi'an by chance today, Ling Yijin originally planned to just nod and forget it. This was already the most kind gesture he could express in front of Song Nana.
After all, even without looking, he knew that his mother's face would not look much better when she met Gu Yi'an here.
However, he didn't expect that when he passed by Gu Yian, the other party stopped.
Ling Yijin said hello awkwardly, and received a faint smile from the other party.
At that moment, Ling Yijin had to say that Gu Yian was the most elegant person she had ever seen. He was cool and flamboyant but not offensive. When the other person wanted to talk to you, no one could refuse.
Gu Yian looked at the slim girl in front of him and recalled the unlocked door he saw when he escaped from the cage in his previous life, as well as the shadow of himself trying to shrink himself around the corner to avoid being discovered. For the first time, he rarely felt Kindness reminds me meaningfully:
"Your dad should be waiting for you to spend the weekend. If you go late, you won't be able to get a taxi."
Ling Yijin's eyes were filled with confusion, not that she was confused about whether the father she mentioned was Ling Qicheng or Cao Chuanfeng. After all, Gu Yian always called Cao Chuanfeng by his first name every time he mentioned it.
I just wonder why she suddenly said this to me.
She didn't ask how Gu Yian knew her original plan. After all, she had heard about Gu Yian's attainments in metaphysics.
But the feeling of being spied on still made her a little uncomfortable.
Although he didn't say it directly, there was something in his tone that later made Ling Yijin feel a little ignorant when he recalled it: "I won't go home until next weekend. Sister Yi'an doesn't have to worry."
Xu felt that the tone was a bit cold. No matter what the other party's purpose was, it was a kind reminder after all, so under Song Nana's impatient urging, he added: "Thank you, Sister Yi'an, for your concern."
Gu Yian moved his eyes to Song Nana, who had her face covered tightly, and gave her his first straight look today, but he still directed his words at Ling Yijin:
"Some people have weak kinship. This is a predetermined destiny. Forcing others is just tiring. Ling Yijin, give you a free piece of advice. Cherish those who cherish you, and give up those who don't love you."
Ling Yijin stared at the back of Gu Yian who pulled Gu Yiling away after speaking, and fell into deep thought. Although she felt that her words came out of nowhere, she had to pay attention.
Who cherishes her? Who doesn't love her?
She knew that the former should be Ling Qicheng and Ling Yifeng.
What about the latter? The love I force myself seems to...
Before she could think clearly, Song Nana, who rarely stood quietly beside her today, said a little lonely: "Xiao An is probably still complaining that I robbed her father."
Ling Yijin knew that Song Nana was talking about Cao Chuanfeng, but she had never seen even a little care about Cao Chuanfeng from Gu Yi'an.
When we first met, we could still see some of her disgust towards Cao Chuanfeng, but now it seems that when Gu Yian faces Cao Chuanfeng, all the disgust in Gu Yian's eyes has turned into indifference, like an ant, while towards Song Nana it seems Pretty much the same.
Ling Yijin was noncommittal. Although he didn't refute Song Nana's words, he couldn't agree with them.
But being interrupted like this, she couldn't continue her thinking. Maybe subconsciously she didn't want to think about that possibility.
After all, what she has always wanted most is the sole attention from her mother.
After she put aside all thoughts and left Song Nana, she didn't notice the unclear meaning in Song Nana's eyes.
Unknown to her, Gu Yiling, who had her mouth full of candied haws, blinked her big eyes and asked Gu Yian doubtfully:
"Sister, I just felt your kindness. Why are you so kind?"
Gu Yian touched the little girl's head unceremoniously and felt a trace of causality cut off. He took a breath and said: "There are three thousand avenues, but please have a clear conscience."
Ling Yijin returned to the villa with Song Nana and felt the quietness she had never experienced before. From Song Nana's mouth, she learned that the only remaining nanny, Zhang Ma, had resigned and returned home. Cao Chuanfeng was also busy with the company's bankruptcy recently and was away from home every day.
There were only her and Song Nana at home, plus Cao Wanrou, whose temperament had changed drastically.
The reason why Cao Wanrou's temperament changed drastically was because she had liked to show off her superiority in front of Ling Yijin since she was a child, and she had always looked down on Ling Yijin. People who were trying to squeeze each other overtly or covertly began to become friendly.
Not only did he take the initiative to share his treasured jewelry with Ling Yijin, as well as the clothes he had never worn and the luxury bags he had only carried once or twice, he also took selfies and chatted with her.
Ling Yijin was also very vigilant at first, after all, there must be a monster when something goes wrong.
But when he heard the other person say: "You also look down on me and think I'm dirty?" Ling Yijin felt as if the previously arrogant Cao Wanrou was about to break at any moment.
Ling Yijin suddenly felt that it would not be so unacceptable for such a non-threatening Cao Wanrou to have a little more maternal love from Song Nana than herself.
Moreover, Song Nana, who had never touched Yang Chun Shui before, cooked for her and Cao Wanrou three times a day in various ways. This surprised and surprised Ling Yijin, who had not eaten several meals cooked by Song Nana since she was a child.
After all, in the Ling family, Ling's father had always cooked. No matter how busy he was, he would get up early to prepare the ingredients and side dishes for the day.
Then just put the prepared side dishes and seasonings directly into the steamer 20 minutes before the meal. Ling Yijin was already familiar with this operation when he was in elementary school.
Therefore, when Ling's father was not at home, what she ate most was all kinds of steamed vegetables. As a result, when Ling Yijin grew up, she loved the stir-fried dishes in the school cafeteria window. At least the ingredients were cooked through the wall of the pot and the flame. comminicate.
In Ling Yijin's memory, Song Nana was not very good at cooking. In order to keep in shape and avoid the smoke in the kitchen from damaging her skin, in Ling Yijin's memory, the most she had seen her cooking were various salads, vegetable salads, Fruit salad, salmon salad, etc., these are things you can make with your hands.
