Chapter 981
“And you never suspected him?”
Mo Caiwei was stunned, her eyes blank and confused.
“Why should I doubt him?Suu is good to me, he’s the best person in the world for me, I can’t doubt him.”
This innocent and naive look of hers gave Jenny Jing a bit of a headache.
She sighed softly in frustration, “Well, even if that’s the case, then why are you avoiding me?Don’t tell me you’re in a hurry to leave this time, not because of me.”
Mo Caiwei smelled like a lie that had been painstakingly hidden had been torn apart, and strangled her fingers a little nervously.
“I…I didn’t mean to hide from you either, I was just scared…”
“Scared?”Jenny raised an eyebrow, “What are you afraid of?”
“I…” she suddenly panicked, her eyes darting left and right like she was searching for something.
Jenny knew that she was looking for Quexu.
It was as if that man, who was now her main focus, couldn’t leave within her line of sight, or else she’d get inexplicably nervous.
Although Jenny was not a doctor, he knew some common sense about this aspect of psychology.
She found that what happened to Mo Caiwei now resembled a kind of traumatic stress reaction.
She had been hurt badly, and in that hurt, the person she trusted most had betrayed her and wanted her dead.
So she was terrified, she was uneasy, and even though she had lost all her memories since she woke up, that subconscious fear remained deep in her mind.
The one who saved her was Quexu.
Like a drowning man who suddenly grasps at a straw, he treats him like the only sunshine in his life and holds on for dear life, refusing to let go.
Everything around her was strange and disturbing to her, but only Quexu, the man who had saved her, made her believe and depend on her.
Jenny was suddenly relieved.
So, what are you counting on?
Just as Biden Lu said, in the midst of such a big accident, it was already a gift from the heavens for her to survive.
What she should do, instead of blaming and complaining, is to cherish her, love her, and make up for the ten years they didn’t have a chance to spend together.
Thinking of this, Jenny’s lips pulled up a smile.
“Well, you don’t have to say anything if you don’t want to.”
She paused and tried to ask, “Can I… come closer to you?”
Mo Caiwei was stunned and looked up, blankly at her.
Jenny carefully took a step, “Don’t be afraid, I’m your daughter, I’m your family, I won’t hurt you, just like your Asuka, we all love you very much, so please don’t worry, I just miss you a lot and want to be close to you, don’t hide from me, okay?”
Mo Caiwei stared at her blankly, perhaps because she understood her words, and thus insisted on standing still despite the visible tension in her body.
Jenny finally walked up to her.
She reached out her arms and wrapped them around Mo Caiwei’s shoulders, taking her into her arms.
“Mom.”
One word shouted out, and tears were already overflowing my eyes.
Mo Caiwei stayed there, about sensing Jenny’s emotions, she also reached out and gently wrapped her arms around her body.
“Mom, I’m glad you’re okay, I’ve had so many dreams over the years about the way you carried me when I was little, I thought I’d never see you again in my life, but now that we can see each other again, I’m so happy and grateful, I don’t want to force you to remember those painful things, and it’s okay if you don’t want to remember me, just count me in, Mom, please, don’t hide from me anymore,May I?”
Mo Caiwei was startled, not knowing why, obviously she couldn’t remember anything, but her eyes were sore from hearing Jenny’s voice.
“Well, I’m not going to hide from you.”
She spoke softly.
Jenny was stunned and released her in surprise, holding her hand.
“Really?Mum, you promise me?”
By this point, Mo Caiwei had let her guard down, and while she hadn’t been able to get too close like Jenny, she wasn’t as repulsive as she had been at first.
She smiled coyly and nodded.
Jenny was thrilled.
“Mom, I promise to leave you alone whenever you don’t feel like it, but if you’re upset about anything, or if anyone is bullying you, you’ll tell me, too, okay?”
Mo Caiwei smiled again, for a moment, before saying, “I’m fine, no one bullies me.”
This benign and simple look of hers, however, was exactly the same as it was ten years ago.
Jenny sighed helplessly.
“All right!”
She paused and then asked, “So where do you want to go next?Is it fixed?”
Mo Caiwei shook her head, “I’m not lying, we really haven’t decided where we’re going to go next, although… suddenly deciding to leave did make me feel a bit scared because of your appearance, I’m sorry, Jenny, I didn’t mean that, I didn’t mean that I was afraid of you…….”
Mo Caiwei realized what was happening and suddenly became nervous, explaining urgently.
Jenny Jing even interrupted her and reassured her, “I know, you don’t have to be nervous, I know you’re not afraid of me, you’re just afraid that if I talk to you about the past, it will remind you of those painful past too, right?”
Mo Caiwei paused for a few seconds and nodded her head.
Jenny Jing was relieved and softly comforted, “Don’t be afraid or worried, since you don’t want to remember those, let’s just pretend those things never happened and not mention them to anyone, okay?”
It was with relief that Mo Caiwei nodded again.
Jenny smiled, “Since you haven’t decided where you want to go, why don’t you stay in Kyoto for two more days?You said before that you’ve been everywhere and had fun, I don’t believe you, I know a few good places that you must not have been to, stay here for two more days and I’ll show you around, okay?”
Mo Caiwei was stunned, seemingly hesitant.
But she was a soft-hearted person after all, and Jenny had only just shown her pleading and relentless look, and she immediately surrendered.
“Okay, I promise.”
Only then did Jenny give a big smile.
At this point, outside the parlor.
There was silence as the three men stood there.
Naturally, Boss Yu was embarrassed, although this side was his friend and possibly his future business partner on the other side, who said they both knew each other.
But after all, this was someone’s family business, he was an outsider, and there was always a very awkward and redundant feeling standing here.
But now there are only Mo Caiwei and Jenny inside, Quexu and the others are outsiders, their first time in the capital, it wouldn’t be good if they really left them here and left by themselves.
After all, although they were mother and daughter, Mo Caiwei couldn’t remember anything nowadays.
Chapter 982
Who knew if Jenny would suddenly have an attack if she really forced her to do something?
When that time comes, if he is not there, it is inevitable that some of the righteousness between friends will be lost.
Therefore, although Boss Yu felt embarrassed, he dutifully stayed.
On the other hand, after Jenny Jing and Mo Caiwei said goodbye, they followed her out.
Upon pushing the door open, I realized that all three men were guarding the outside.
Quexu stood up at once and rushed over to pull Mo Caiwei over, concerned and eager to ask, “Caiwei, how is it?Are you okay?”
Now that Mo Caiwei’s mood had calmed down considerably, she smiled and shook her head.
She turned to Jenny and smiled gently, “Jenny, are you free tomorrow?If so, I’d like to take a trip to the outskirts of Kyoto, I’ve heard there are several scenic spots there that I haven’t been to yet.”
Jenny nodded evenly, “Okay, I’m free, we’ll go tomorrow.”
Biden Lu saw this and raised his eyebrows, a smile flashing across his eyes.
Quexu was a bit stunned though, as if he didn’t understand how it was that in just these few words, Mo Caiwei’s attitude towards Jenny had become like this.
Biden Lu suddenly stepped forward and walked in front of Mo Caiwei.
“Mom, Jenny and I will go with you tomorrow.”
Mo Caiwei was shocked and took a step back, looking at him in surprise.
Jenny was busy moving forward, pulling Biden Lu back and smiling awkwardly at Mo Cai Wei.
“Mom, I’m married, he’s my husband, his name is Biden Lu.”
Only then did Mo Caiwei react, barely smiling, it was obvious that her attitude towards Biden Lu was not as natural as she had just been towards Jenny Jing.
But perhaps for the sake of his relationship with Jenny, she didn’t back down, but gathered the courage to nod her head, “Okay.”
Next to him, Boss Yu saw the situation and clapped and laughed.
“Yes!Yes!Mrs. Lu and Miss Mo are able to recognize each other as mother and daughter, this is a great joy, so, if a few of you don’t mind, today I’ll be the host, near our gambling quarry, there is a particularly delicious restaurant, just have to implore Mr. and Mrs. Lu to appreciate it, don’t mind only.”
Biden Lu said indifferently, “Since I’ve come to Kyoto and am my mother-in-law, of course it’s my treat, how can there be a reason for Boss Yu to be the host.”
Saying that, he immediately pulled out his mobile phone and called Vicky.
Vicky was still unaware that Jenny had acknowledged his marriage and only assumed that he was going to socialize clients commercially, so he booked one of the most exclusive and luxurious restaurants in all of Kyoto.
When Mo Caiwei saw this, it was hard to push back, so she followed them to lunch.
In fact, Mo Caiwei looked like she was particularly distant from Jenny, but in reality, she wasn’t malicious.
She just couldn’t get past the part of her heart that was so afraid of seeing someone she knew from the past and it brought back memories she didn’t want to recall.
But Jenny had already told her that he wouldn’t talk to her about the past or force her to remember anything.
She naturally let go of the mental burden, and once the burden was off, the whole person was much more easygoing and relaxed.
Therefore, the relationship with Jenny actually soared over the course of a meal.
Biden Lu would occasionally be there to help out, he and Jenny Jing were both the best of the best, and Mo Caiwei was simple in nature, so it wasn’t long before the two of them were lulled into a browbeat.
And Quexu, though he hadn’t wanted to remind Mo Caiwei of the past, lest she be sad.
But over the years, he’s also discovered that Mo Caiwei shouldn’t be the only one in her life; her heart is too fragile, too sensitive, too needy of security.
She needs more people to give her love, to prove her sense of worth, and that way, her mind will gradually recover from the pain of her injury and slowly return to health.
Thinking like this, he was in no hurry to keep Mo Caiwei away from Jenny.
And Boss Yu is also a very smart person, he saw this family get together, chatting lively and happy, so he knew that they are a solid family relationship.
The heart was once again not happy that he had made such a friend as Quexu.
A few people were exchanging glasses between meals and the atmosphere was quite warm.
When they finished their meal, they didn’t rush off, but had the waiter remove the food and bring over a pot of tea to drink and chat.
Jenny Jing looked at Boss Yu and smiled, “I’ve already considered what Boss Yu and my aunt said before, and if the mine is real, we’re willing to invest.”
Boss Yu knew that there was already a fifty percent chance that Lu Lanzhi would come over before, and now, because he had let Jenny meet his long-lost relative by mistake.
Although he hadn’t really done much, a family like the Lu family had always been very particular about how things were done.
Even if he didn’t get much credit for it, people wouldn’t let him suffer.
So that 50 percent possibility is now all of a sudden 100 percent.
Because he had already foreseen this, he was not surprised to hear Jenny’s words at this moment.
A gentle smile, “mine is of course true, Mrs. Lu if you are free, you can go with me to t country to see, it just so happens that this time, when my side of the gambling will be done, I also want to go over there, to the time can be together, your local inspection, after inspection and then do investment, how?”
Jenny nodded, “That’s certainly best.”
She said, suddenly thinking of something and turned to look at Mo Caiwei next to her.
“Mom, you haven’t been to T, have you?”
Mo Caiwei was stunned and shook her head.
Jenny Jing smiled slightly, “Then do you want to go with me to T country for some fun?It’s a lot of fun over there too, with the sea, coconuts, and lots of historic buildings, aren’t you your favorite?”
Mo Caiwei hesitated and turned her head to look at Quexu.
When he didn’t object, this was a nod.
“Good.”
Jenny smiled in satisfaction and suddenly turned to look at Boss Yu.
“I wonder when Boss Yu’s side of the pokies will end?”
Boss Yu pondered for a moment and said, “The big stuff is almost sold out, what’s left is some small stuff, I reckon there will be another three or four days, I really can’t sell it I won’t sell it, put it away for now, there’s plenty of useful places in the back anyway.”
Jenny Jing nodded, “Okay, then we’ll tentatively set the time for five days later, after you finish the stuff here, one day to rest and recuperate, after we’re done, we’ll leave for T country right away.”
Boss Yu hammered out, “No problem, then it’s settled.”
After things were settled, a few people chatted for a while, then got up and left.
Jenny Jing and Biden Lu didn’t trust Mo Caiwei and the others to go back alone, so they drove them themselves.
Arriving at the entrance of the manor, Jenny took a look at the surroundings and found that it was a nice place.
But anyway, this isn’t the landlord’s place after all.
Chapter 983
She didn’t know that Mo Caiwei was fine in Kyoto before, but now that she knew, how could she have her mother living as a guest in someone else’s territory?
So, she pulled Mo Caiwei and whispered, “Mom, if you don’t mind these few days, why don’t you come stay at our house?”
Mo Caiwei was stunned and a little puzzled, “What am I going to stay at your house for?”
Jenny Jing laughed: “You see, you’re confused, aren’t you?I am your daughter, O mother, come to the city where your daughter lives, and do not live in your daughter’s house?”
Mo Caiwei was confused, as if she understood her words, but hesitant.
Quexu frowned.
He said in a deep voice, “No need, I know you two have good intentions, but Caiwei’s mind is still not fully recovered, she’s used to living here, it’s not good to change the environment more, that would easily affect her emotions.”
Jenny was slightly startled, not quite understanding what Quexiu meant.
“But this is Boss Yu’s estate, right?Doesn’t living in Boss Yu’s manor affect her mood?”
Que Suet’s brows frowned even tighter, but, perhaps thinking of her relationship with Mo Caiwei, she patiently explained: “Although this is Boss Yu’s manor, but he gave us a separate small courtyard, usually we live there, he won’t disturb us, but your Lu family is a big family with complicated hearts, I’m afraid Caiwei will not get used to it, so I’d better not bother!.”
Jenny’s face sank.
“Mr. Que, I think you’ve misunderstood, although the Lu family is a high family, there’s no such thing as a complicated human heart, and…”
She paused, looked at Mo Caiwei, and said, “Mom, I actually already have two children, and now I have a third in my belly, don’t you want to meet your grandson?”
Mo Caiwei was stunned, but this time she reflected that this was a happy event.
She gave a smile and her eyes fell on Jenny’s stomach.
“You’re having a baby, huh?Well, that’s congratulations, that’s a good thing, but I…”
She managed to smile and eventually refused, “I don’t want to go, Jenny, or… I’d rather not, as for the grandchildren, I’ll see them later, okay?”
Jenny knitted his brows imperceptibly.
Mo Caiwei’s rejection, she felt it, but didn’t quite understand what she was rejecting it for.
She pursed her lips and sighed, “Well, if you insist, then I won’t force it.”
She said, handing her Mo Caiwei’s handbag.
“That’s where we’ll take you, and I’ll pick you up in the morning.”
Mo Caiwei nodded and told her to drive slower, before turning around and walking inside with Quexu.
Jenny Jing and Biden Lu stood there, all the while witnessing their silhouettes completely disappear into the manor before turning to leave.
On the way home, Jenny sat in the car and remained silent.
Biden Lu reached over, took her hand and asked, “What are you thinking about?”
Jenny Jing said in a soft voice, “I’m wondering how my mother’s current situation is going to get better.”
Biden Lu raised his eyebrows.
“What do you mean?I thought you said you weren’t going to force her to remember the old days anymore.”
Jenny sighed.
“I don’t mean to remind her of the old days, I do see that she’s happy now, but don’t you think so?Her happiness is kind of superficial.
She’s actually very mentally unhealthy.”
She said, recalling the details of today’s day with Mo Caiwei in detail, and deliberated, “When she talks to us, her eyes are always dodging, which means she’s guilty and scared, and she doesn’t like to come in contact with strangers, as long as a stranger approaches, she’ll subconsciously back away and tremble out of fear.”
“I know that these are probably the aftereffects of the car accident she was in ten years ago, but do you really think that living with this fear and anxiety is a joy?”
Biden Lu fell silent.
Jenny Jing shook his head and sighed, “I always feel that her so-called happiness right now is a visible and unseen attic in the air, so fragile that it could collapse at any moment, and when that day actually comes, that’s when it will destroy her completely.”
She said, as the back of her hand warmed.
It was only Biden Lu who reached his hand over and took hold of hers.
Biden Lu said in a deep voice, “I’m with you, and together we’ll help her get out of this fear.”
Jenny was stunned, looking at him off to the side, then suddenly smiled.
“Well, we’re all in this together.”
They smiled at each other, and then the car quickly headed to Lu’s.
They each returned to the office, and after a busy afternoon, returned to Maple Bridge Cottage in the evening.
Jenny Jing had been in a good mood today because of Mo Caiwei’s incident.
When I got home, I played with the two gnomes for a while before I got a call from Lucian.
Over the phone, Lucian sounded very excited.
“Jenny, I heard that you agreed to Boss Yu’s request and decided to cooperate with him in business?”
Jenny Jing smiled slightly, “Didn’t I tell you about this matter before?Why do you still look so surprised.”
Lu Lanzhi’s voice is very happy, “that verbal promise is verbal promise, who knows if you will change your mind, now that you have said so to Boss Yu, it is obvious that it is a nail in the coffin of the fact that ah, otherwise the word goes out that you, the president of Serenity International does not keep his word, is not it to make people laugh?”
Jenny laughed helplessly at her browbeaten tone.
Lu Lanzhi’s speech crested and then suddenly said, “Right, Jenny, that… how are you and that Miss Mo, your adoptive mother, doing?”
Jenny moved, wary, “Why do you ask?”
Lu Lanzhi laughed dryly, “I’m not concerned about you, at any rate you’re my niece-in-law, ah our Lu family, and things like recognizing your relatives, of course I have to ask you ah.”
Jenny Jing pursed her lips and said softly, “She doesn’t reject me now, but she still hasn’t really thought me up, Aunt, please keep this matter a secret for me, and don’t let anyone know about it.”
Two seconds of silence on Lucian’s side.
The next thing I know, I hear her embarrassed voice, “Okay, I know, don’t worry, I’m not a big mouth kind of guy either.”
Jenny silently tugged at the corners of his mouth, but the thought in his mind was, if you don’t have a big mouth, then no one will.
But this was something that Lu Lanzhi already knew, and she couldn’t hide it even if she wanted to.
Therefore, it can only be accounted for to the best of her ability, and whether it can be done or not is really out of her hands.
Jenny Jing said, speaking to her roughly about the time when she would leave for T, and what Lu Lanzhi needed to prepare during this time, then hung up the phone.
