Jiang Mi was stunned. Did he mean that Grandma had died young of cancer, but no one in the Jiang family was willing to mention her anymore?
That was why Jiang Jingxiu no longer wanted to return to that so-called home.
Jiang Mi suddenly felt heartbroken for him. She reached out and hugged the man tightly, saying, "I am very grateful to Grandma. She was a good person. When I was in the Jiang family, she was the only one who was willing to help me, the only one who showed me kindness. I am truly grateful to her."
"What's the use of kindness? If she hadn't been too kind, she wouldn't have gotten that disease and eventually died! It was just foolish!" Jiang Jingxiu thought that his mother had only had breast cancer, and if she had sought treatment early, her life could have been saved. Yet, she had dragged it out until her death without ever telling him a word.
"How can you say that? I read in a book that people die twice. The first time is the death of the body. The second time is when the last person in the world forgets them. That is true death! Because of Grandma's kindness to me, I will never forget her until I die. Even though she has passed away, she will live on in my heart, and she will live on in your heart, won't she? We both remember her." Jiang Mi pointed to Jiang Jingxiu's heart, "She will always have a place here."
Jiang Jingxiu suddenly felt a pang of sadness. His mother's death had a profound impact on him. It was from then on that he felt everything in this world had lost its meaning, so he lived his life with a carefree attitude.
He buried his head in Jiang Mi's neck. Jiang Mi felt a wetness falling onto her skin. The burning heat made her heart ache. She reached out and gently patted his back, just like her mother used to comfort her baby to sleep when she was little.
The next day, Jiang Mi felt something licking her. She immediately pushed it away, saying, "Good boy, don't make trouble. Go to sleep yourself, and let Mommy sleep a little longer."
Jiang Jingxiu froze for a second upon hearing this. He thought about their interaction last night. Had she truly taken on the role of a mother?
Wasn't she taking advantage of him? Thinking of being his mother? Dream on! He fiercely bit her lip. Jiang Mi's eyes snapped open from the pain, and only when she saw the man in front of her did she realize her situation.
But Jiang Jingxiu didn't give her any more chances to speak. He pulled her into more than two hours of passionate lovemaking.
As Jiang Mi got out of bed to make breakfast, she couldn't stop cursing. If it weren't for the sturdiness of the little one in her belly, he would have truly lost it.
After breakfast, Jiang Jingxiu left without lingering. Jiang Mi was even more annoyed by his behavior of eating and leaving. She then spotted a large red envelope on the coffee table. Hesitantly, she walked over and opened it. Inside was ten thousand yuan. Her anger dissipated by more than half.
As expected, money could solve ninety-nine percent of problems.
Especially conflicts between people.
Jiang Mi happily accepted the red envelope and sent a thank-you message to Jiang Jingxiu.
Jiang Jingxiu was driving when his phone rang. He picked it up and heard Jiang Mi wishing him a Happy New Year and thanking him for the generous red envelope. Jiang Jingxiu sneered inwardly, thinking that this little thing had such little ambition.
Little did he know, the curve of his lips turned upward in a smile of pleasure.
The reason Jiang Jingxiu didn't want to go home was that his house had been occupied by Jiang Tian and Tang Xinran. He was used to living alone and didn't want to take care of two overgrown children. He had let it slide yesterday, but today he had to find a way to get rid of those two troublemakers.
