Joey patted Lu Jingyun's cheek and smiled slyly, "The best radish is a radish."

"..."

"Hahaha... Well, I don't know if it's the best, but in my eyes, you are the best radish."

"Or a radish?" Someone's tone was quite dissatisfied.

"Okay, it's just a metaphor, don't take it seriously." Joey patted his cheek soothingly. "I mean the focus is not on radishes, but on choosing radishes, no, it's not about choosing radishes, it's about choosing a man, in fact, it's just a matter of fate. Compared with other people, our fate came quickly, and it was very suitable. .is not it?"

"of course."

Joey nodded in satisfaction and finally got out of the radish.

"Okay, I won't tell you any more, I have to go down and continue to comfort Yang Fan." Joey giggled, feeling that he should tell Yang Fan about this carrot's theory. There is a pit for each radish. They haven't found a suitable pit for these radishes.

"Stay with me for a while." Lu Jingyun pulled Joey cheekily, like an abandoned child. "Baby, just a moment."

Joey stuck out his tongue. "Lord Radish, look at these documents next to you, for our happiness for the past two months, come on. I won't disturb you."

Joey slipped out of Lu Jingyun's palm and ran out of his office, while Lu Jingyun rubbed his palms, shook his head with a smile, and continued to work hard. For their happiness for the next two months.

...

It wasn't long before Joey went downstairs, and when he was still suffering from a headache with Yang Fan, a phone call from Lu Jingyun called her up again.

"Why, call me again..."

Joey pushed open the door and entered, but he didn't expect that there were others in Lu Jingyun's office.

The man looked at Joey with a heavy face, and Joey also recognized this and that person, Wan Liangjing, her titular uncle.

"Yi, come here."

Lu Jingyun stretched out his hand, Joey walked over to him, and he held his hand. Seeing the heavy expressions on their faces, Joey had a bad premonition in his heart.

"Xiao Qiao, I'm here today to tell you that your mother... she's sick."

Wan Liangjing's face was a little sad, and when he said this news, it seemed to be extremely difficult.

With such a difficult appearance, the disease must be no ordinary disease.

Joey's heart tightened at the same time, and he squeezed Lu Jingyun's hand slightly.

"What's the disease?"

"Stomach cancer."

Joey suddenly didn't respond for dozens of seconds, as if he wasn't sure if he heard the news.

For the biological mother she hated, her response now was to sneer three times and say to them, "This is her retribution."

However, Joey couldn't say anything, and he didn't feel indifferent as he should have expected. D

She seemed to be a little scared, a little... inexplicable.

The chest was a little tight, and the hands were getting harder.

"Yiyi, Yiyi, don't worry, now that the medical methods are so developed, nothing will happen."

Lu Jingyun is the person who can really feel Joey's feeling the most, and he understands that Joey is actually worried.

"She..." Joey said, but his voice seemed to be hoarse, and his expression changed. "She was hospitalized when she was sick. Tell me about this, and I can't help her."

She is pretending to be indifferent. She feels that this is God's punishment and retribution for Wan Jiaqi. Qi Wenyang has already received the retribution and lost everything, and now it's Wan Jiaqi's turn, isn't it?

When Wan Liangjing heard Joey's answer, he couldn't help frowning, a little dissatisfied with her indifference.

"Xiao Qiao, she is your mother after all. In fact, she has been in treatment for a while, and she has been hiding it from you, but I know she has always wanted to see you. But she has never forgiven you for you. She is in pain. She feels that her illness is the retribution for abandoning you. Therefore, her will to survive is not strong. Even if the doctor said that if she was properly treated, she could live for many years, but she did not cooperate with the treatment. I have no choice but to look for you. For the sake of her being your mother, and for the sake of such a life, Xiao Qiao, please forgive her, you are considered Uncle Qiu."

Wan Liangjing's plea is sincere and heartfelt. Although he used to take advantage of this sister before, they have had a relationship for so many years. They are brothers and sisters. Now she is ill and facing death. He is a big brother. will be patient.

Today, he has no other purpose, no acting, some just hope that Joey can help his sister, after all, that is life, not something that can be reborn.

Joey was silent, not answering.

But Lu Jingyun was very distressed. Even though Joey was expressionless, how could he not understand Joey's inner suffering?

But now is not the time to force her like this, Lu Jingyun winked at Wan Liangjing. "Mr. Wan, go back first."

Wan Liangjing understood what Lu Jingyun meant, nodded, and left with a low sigh.

As soon as Wan Liangjing left, Lu Jingyun hugged Joey tightly, stroked her back, and kissed her forehead. It seemed that only in this way could her emotions be assessed.

Because his hand was being held by Joey, she had never used so much strength before, and her body was even more rigid.

Lu Jingyun felt extremely distressed, and comforted Qiao Chang softly. "Baby, relax, relax. Don't feel bad, there's me, I'm here, don't be afraid."

The repeated reassurance finally made Joey relax gradually, feeling Lu Jingyun's powerful heartbeat, listening to his low voice that made people feel calm, and suddenly, a tear fell from the corner of Joey's eyes.

It was just a drop, and she didn't even know how she would cry.

"She's right, this is her retribution."

Joey's voice was already hoarse, perhaps her breath was stuffed in her chest and her throat was blocked. She felt that she didn't feel any joy or relaxation after saying this.

"Darling, do you really think so?"

Lu Jingyun knew her best, but he was still conflicted.

Even the indifferent mother of the Qiao family, she can naturally start to forget the cold treatment of her past and slowly reconcile with the Qiao family. He thought, Wan Jiaqi is still Joey's own mother after all, how could she possibly be? Really so cruel?

Joey was a kind little woman, and her cruel heart was never really cruel.

"Can't I think so?" Joey retorted stubbornly. "That's what I thought, this is her retribution, it's retribution, it's..."

Talking, Joey's tears began to flow out more and more uncontrollably, blocking her mouth hard.

Lu Jingyun sighed lowly, kissed her forehead, didn't dissuade her, just hugged her and made her cry happily.

For a time, there was only Joey sobbing in the office.

After a while, Joey gradually stopped crying, but he cried a little harder, and he couldn't help but sob at the end, his breathing jumped.

"I... I... feel bad."

"I know, I know." Lu Jingyun wiped away her tears. "My Yiyi is actually very conflicted in her heart, and she can't bear to really care if she is?"

Joey was silent, not answering.

"No hurry, think about it again, go or not, I will accompany you."

Joey grabbed Lu Jingyun's hand and asked for a long time, "Stomach cancer can kill people."

"kindness."

"Whether it has something to do with me or not, I don't care if a person is sick and dying. This is not Joey. Is it?" Joey asked Lu Jingyun. In fact, why wasn't he asking himself?

"yes."

"Actually, for a person to get retribution, she should be allowed to live and suffer instead of dying so happily." Joey continued to convince himself.

"so?"

"I'll go see her and see how ugly she is now." Joey bit his lip and said, "I felt pity for her at the time. I'll never be so cruel to someone who doesn't want to be locked up. of."

"Yeah, my Yiyi treats her as an irrelevant poor person, just take a look, and she won't lose any quick meat."

Lu Jingyun touched the top of her head. "Then let's go see it tonight?"
