Ji Ai'er woke up very early. She didn't know when she returned to her room. Pulling open the curtains and seeing the rosy glow of the morning glow staining half of the sky, this reminded her of Qian He. Immense pain hit her in an instant, and she felt a sense of suffocation because this kind of pain was engraved in her heart.
Tears began to well up in her eyes. She thought of the past when the three of them, mother and children, relied on each other for life. At that time, although they were poor, they were all so healthy. All their crying and laughing were by her side. Even if not by her side, as long as they thought of each other, they could send a text message to each other. But now where should she send this intense longing? In which part of the other world was her daughter? Was there also toys and happiness in that place?
Ji Ai'er went downstairs. She was standing barefoot in the yard, and the morning glow stained her entire body red. At this moment, she was so close to Qian He, so close that she could feel her every frown and smile. She looked at her innocent smile and always curious eyes, listened to her childish words and brilliant laughter.
She reached out her hand, but she didn't hold Qian He's hand. She walked forward, but she didn't hold anything.
"Siwei!"
Ji Ai'er turned her head and saw Raymond. His tall figure, under the mapping of the rising sun, made her see an angel.
Ji Ai'er smiled, a smile mixed with sadness.
She didn't know why she walked towards him and then threw herself into his embrace. Did she want to draw strength from him? Every time she saw Raymond, she felt as kind as seeing a relative.
Raymond opened his arms and held Ji Ai'er in his arms. She could always easily touch his heartstrings. Her melancholy and her weakness all aroused his strong desire to protect her.
Ji Ai'er's petite figure was in Raymond's arms, and the shadows of the two were elongated in the rising sun.
"Sorry!" Ji Ai'er, who regained her consciousness, hurriedly pushed Raymond away and apologized very apologetically. She found that her hallucinations had been getting worse recently.
"It's okay!" Raymond said indifferently. Ji Ai'er sometimes made him feel that she had a dual personality, with both fragility and indifference coexisting.
"Really sorry!" Ji Ai'er bowed again to apologize and then walked into the villa.
Raymond looked at Ji Ai'er's back, and the knot between his eyebrows deepened.
At the Ji family,
Ji Min Ze was transferred to a noble private school. Every day, a special car picked him up and dropped him off between the school and the Ji family. However, he became silent and didn't like to talk. He often stared blankly by himself.
This day, Ji Min Ze returned to the Ji family after school. Two people were sitting in the hall. He lowered his head and was about to go upstairs when he was stopped.
"Stop!" Mrs. Ji was extremely angry. No one in the Ji family dared to ignore her, but this so-called grandson whom she had never met didn't even understand basic courtesy. How could he be from the Ji family?
Ji Min Ze stopped but didn't turn his head. His small fists were clenched tightly.
"Who taught you to be so ill-mannered! You don't even know how to greet people when you see them!" Mrs. Ji lost her usual dignified image and was about to shout curses.
"Auntie, don't be angry! Wait until Ji En comes back and sees this, thinking that we have done something to this child again!" Ouyang Xue beside Mrs. Ji said to her.
"How could he be the eldest grandson of our Ji family? I don't know which wild child he is from!" Mrs. Ji said harshly.
Ji Min Ze turned around and raised his head to look at Mrs. Ji. He said very clearly,
"I'm not a wild child!"
When he raised his head at that moment, both Mrs. Ji and Ouyang Xue were stunned because he looked exactly like Ji En, almost a mini version of Ji En. If two people without blood ties could look like this?
