After Doris arrived at the said coffee shop, Xie Junzhi was sitting in front of the table looking at the green plants on the flower wall, and occasionally stretched out his fingers to fiddle with them.
She sat down opposite him, and he looked over with gentle eyes, and said with a smile, "I think you would prefer sweet drinks, so I made an assertion and ordered you a cup of mocha."
Just as he was talking, the waiter came over with a tray and put down two cups of coffee and several plates of exquisite desserts.
"It's okay, I do like something sweeter." Doris picked up the coffee and took a sip, then looked up at Xie Junzhi, "Is Grandpa Xie okay?"
Speaking of grandpa, the corners of Xie Junzhi's lips became more and more upturned, "He is in much better health, the doctor said that he is recovering well, and he can be discharged from the hospital after a while of observation."
"That's good."
After hesitating for a while, Doris decided to tell the truth, "Actually, I have something to ask for help this time."
Xie Junzhi nodded, motioning to her but saying it's okay.
"Amanda and Eleanor have reached school age, I want them to go to kindergarten first, but it seems that it is difficult to get into that kindergarten."
"I understand." Xie Junzhi nodded, not paying much attention, "I'll say hello to the garden."
He dialed the phone directly in front of Doris, greeted him politely, then cut to the point, thanked him, hung up the phone, and looked up at Doris.
"Okay, you can just take the two of them there on the first day of school."
It only takes a few minutes before and after. For ordinary people, it may take a lot of effort and may not be able to reach the end, but for the Xie family, it may be just a phone call, and the other party may even want to help him. Glad to be busy.
Doris heaved a long sigh, and his mood was complicated for a while, but he still had to say what should be said.
"Thanks."
Xie Junzhi waved his hand, and after hesitating for a while, he suddenly asked: "I haven't asked you, but I've always been curious about the father of Amanda and Eleanor"
Doris fell silent suddenly, and Xie Junzhi stopped immediately: "Sorry."
The woman shook her head and changed the topic: "Mr. Xie, I have played Miss Gu many times this time. I actually want to ask, how did she die in the first place?"
Xie Junzhi sighed: "She jumped into the sea to die."
Doris's expression remained calm, but his pupils shrank suddenly, and he involuntarily squeezed the spoon in his hand.
Her heart was beating non-stop, but her voice was very calm.
"Why did she jump into the sea?"
Xie Junzhi lowered her eyes: "She was kidnapped, something happened to her."
"What does that have to do with Huo Hanting?"
Xie Junzhi was a little surprised: "How did you know that you have something to do with him?"
"He said it himself." Doris stroked the wall of the cup, "He said that Miss Gu died because of him."
"I didn't expect him to even tell you this."
Xie Jun had already noticed that there was something wrong between the two of them, but she didn't expect that Huo Hanting would even tell him such a taboo thing.
Then he seemed to have nothing to say.
"The person who kidnapped my sister threatened Huo Hanting with her. In order not to hurt him, my sister jumped into the sea."
"Patta"
The spoon fell into the cup of coffee, splashing a stream of water, smashing the astonishment and faint panic in the eyes of that face.
Later, Doris couldn't remember how he got out of the coffee shop. Two questions kept spinning in his mind.
"Why did Xie Qinghe lie to her" and
Why did Qin Qing lie to her.
still¡¡
Xie Junzhi is lying to her.
Different rhetoric was applied to Doris, causing her brain to become a mess, as if the pain didn't belong to her.
She returned to the room and curled up on the bed for a long time before she gradually recovered.
Doris, who realized that things were out of control, subconsciously wanted to escape.
But this is the country of Hua, where can I escape to?
There was a knock on the door suddenly, and with a weak "please come in", two little heads poked through the door.
The two little girls looked at her with their big eyes blinking, their heads tilted and looked extremely cute.
Amanda was careful, and was the first to notice her difference: "Mummy, are you feeling well?"
Doris called them over and patted them on the back tenderly: "Mom is fine, your school matters are settled, and you can go to school like other children on September 1st!"
the "Really?"
Eleanor immediately became excited, and after clapping his hands, he ran out, "I'm going to write it down, this is the happiest thing today!"
She quickly ran out of the room, took out a notebook from her small schoolbag, and then opened it to record what happened today.
However, the moment she opened it, she froze.
The handwriting inside is beautiful and neat, but it is definitely not something a child can write.
This is not her notebook!
Eleanor flipped through it strangely, and finally confirmed that it was indeed not hers, but the handwriting on it made her recognize who wrote it.
Doris was talking with Amanda in the room, and saw her little daughter running back with her notebook in a hurry, and then threw herself in front of her.
"Hmph, Mommy, you are too much. You didn't tell me when you bought the same notebook as mine, and you even got your own notebook wrong. How careless you are!"
Eleanor made a face, and Doris looked puzzled: "What notebook, she didn't buy a notebook?"
His eyes fell on the notebook in Eleanor's hand: "Isn't this yours?"
"How dare you argue!" Eleanor angrily turned to the first page of the notebook, "Isn't this your handwriting?"
Doris poked his head over and took a look, his eyes froze suddenly.
On the first page of the notebook, there is a very serious name.
"Childcare Program"
She was taken aback, and then took the notebook from Eleanor's hand.
The handwriting on it is indeed very similar to hers, or in other words, there is a sense of familiarity everywhere.
She stroked the old paper, and then opened the inside page.
What is recorded page by page is a child's likes and dislikes and growth.
From "Like the Sea" at the beginning to "Building a Snowman" and "Going to the Playground" that have been recorded but not ticked at the end, she peeks at the growth of a child between the lines.
The feeling of soreness and swelling in my heart gradually spread.
Some points of attention are marked with a red pen "Chengcheng doesn't like"
It is self-evident who the children who grow up in this "plan" are.
Huo Yuncheng.
When he looked up at her in the corridor that day, Doris suddenly recalled the longing in his eyes.
He asked cautiously if she could be his mother.
What was Huo Yuncheng's mood at that time? She suddenly understood why he alienated her.
Doris burst into tears suddenly, when a call came in at a critical moment, she carefully wiped the corners of her eyes, not daring to let the children see, so she turned her head, and answered the call without seeing who it was.
"Doris." It was Rong Yingshao's voice on the other end of the phone. She called her name, then paused, "What's the matter with you and Huo Hanting?" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
