Rulian Goddard shakes her head and sighs.
He looked up at Mr. Lai and heard him analyze, "Anyway, the important thing now is to get engaged to Makino Field first."
"What about Vichy Colman's baby?"
Shelley Luen cared most about the child inside her, and feared that child was the biggest threat to her.
"Oh, my silly daughter," she said.
Rulian Goddard laughs at the intrigue. "Vichy Colman is a proud man. Would she want to have a baby if she knew you were engaged to Makino Field?Besides, if you get engaged to Makino Field, even if her baby is born, it's up to you whether that baby grows up or not."
Shelley Luen had an Epiphany after listening to her mother's analysis.
Her unhappy little face finally lifted into a smile and said, "Mommy, you're so sweet."
She hugged Rulian Goddard tightly again, with a deep sense of endearment.
...
Bell, bell, bell --
The next day the sun was fine and the breeze was gentle.
Vichy Colman was woken in the morning by her mobile phone ringing. She picked it up and it was her foster mother.
The time, it read 8:30 a.m.
"My God, it's 8:30 already?Why overslept."He tapped his forehead and answered the phone immediately, "Mom, I overslept and forgot to cook for you."
Vichy Colman yawned and rubbed his sleepy eyes.
"I've already eaten.I'm calling to ask you to bring Xiao Cheng with you when you come over today."On the other end of the phone, Du Juan ordered.
Vichy Colman, who had been a little sleepy, sat up awake. "Mom, I have to work. I have to work.He just got there yesterday. Why do you want him there today?"
"Xiao Cheng said yesterday that he had a few days off and had some time. You can't trick me."
"But mom..."
"If Xiao Cheng doesn't come, it means that you were playing up yesterday.Mom won't listen to you."
"Mom, you... Toot toot..."
Vichy Colman tried to say anything more, and the line on the other end was dead.
She clutched her cell phone in one hand and her forehead in another, ready to cry.
What the hell? I just met Xiao Cheng yesterday. How can she ask him out again today?
After lying on the bed for a while and watching the time pass by, Vichy Colman finally called Xiao Cheng.
"Well...?"
The line connected and a man's groggy voice came from the other end, as if still asleep.
"Hehe hehe, that...What are you doing? '
Vichy Colman asks, sheepishly, with a smarmy smile.
Small hands touch the thin quilt uneasily, a pair of eyes full of unease.
She was on good terms with Xiao Cheng, but she was embarrassed to trouble him twice in two days.
"Just tell him if you have anything to say."
Xiao Cheng seems to have guessed what Vichy Colman is trying to do on the phone, "nothing to climb the hall of three treasures, is not your mother on the adult miss me?"
"Ha ha ha, Xiao Xiao is mighty and powerful, very clever."
Vichy Colman raises his eyebrows, rubs his hair and smiles obsequiously but awkwardly.Then he asked, "Do you have time?"
'I see.'
The person hangs up.
Vichy Colman looked at the call log on his phone screen, puzzled.
What do you mean you got it?
She didn't have the shame to call Xiao Cheng again. Instead, she lay down in bed sleepy. She wanted to lie down for a while and get up, but who knows, she fell asleep again.
Little did she know that when Xiao Cheng finished washing on the other side, she had already arrived at the hospital.
After Xiao Cheng arrived at the hospital at around nine o 'clock in the morning, he thought Vichy Colman had gone to the ward, so he went directly to the inpatient department, knocked on the door and pushed it in.
Walking into the ward, except Meng Tianhua lying on the bed, there was no one else.
Xiao Cheng put his things aside. As he was holding his mobile phone to call Vichy Colman, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a photo on the desk.
He glanced at the picture accidentally, but was surprised to find that it was Du Juan and Meng Tianhua standing in front of them, and behind them stood a young girl, with her arms around their shoulders and a bright smile.
And that girl, actually is...Shelley Luen?!?
Xiao Cheng was very puzzled. He picked up the photo and looked at it carefully. The time in the lower right corner showed 2021.02.10
It was taken a few months ago.
"How did they know Shelley Luen?
Xiao Cheng frowned and glanced at the back of the photo. It read: Family Photo!
A family photo?
Shelley Luen is the daughter of the Luen family. Why is she posing with Vichy Colman's parents?
"Oh, here comes Xiao Cheng?"
At that moment, Du Juan came in from the outside and said hello to Xiao Cheng. Only then did she find the photo in Xiao Cheng's hand.
The smile disappeared from her face.
Xiao Cheng looked back at Du Juan and asked directly, "Auntie, why did you and uncle take a family photo with Shelley Luen?Do you mean Vi is not your biological daughter but Shelley Luen is?"
Cuckoo scolds herself for being so confused that she forgot to put her photo away when she was called to the office by the doctor.
"Why are you alone?Where's Vichy? '
She did not answer Xiao Cheng's question. Instead, she took the photo from his hand, rubbed it carefully and put it in her bag.
However, there was a little panic in her words and actions.
The strange reaction made Xiao Cheng increasingly puzzled, if it were another person, he would never ask the matter.
However, they are Vichy Colman's parents. Vichy Colman works in the club every day in order to treat their diseases, and also has a part-time job during the day. However, Vichy Colman is not included in the family photo.
Xiao Cheng suddenly spoke up for Vichy Colman.
"Auntie, I am Vi's 'boyfriend'. If you don't make it clear, I will call her now and ask her!"
Suddenly aggressive, he snapped, "If Shelley Luen is your child, and if Vi doesn't deserve to take family photos with you two, then you shouldn't be asking her to earn money to treat you!"
For some reason, Xiao Cheng suddenly feels bad for Vichy Colman.
Colman was furious that a young girl, who worked two jobs a day and was responsible for cooking and delivering meals for them, was not even qualified to take a family photo.
Du Juan, who is stuffing the photos into her bag, feels Xiao Cheng's anger, but he also senses Xiao Cheng's concern for Vichy Colman.
At that moment, Du feels that the boy is not bad, at least for her daughter.
After a long hesitation, she asked, "Where's Vichy?"
'Been held up.'
Xiao gave an excuse, fearing that if Vichy Colman arrived soon, Azalea would not tell him the truth.
Hearing his words, Du turned and walked to the door of the ward, locked the door behind her, and sat down on the sofa, still holding the photo in her hand.
"Alas..."
The cuckoo holds the photo with one hand and gently touches the person in the photo with the other. She sighs and says, "I can see that you like my daughter very much."
