"I'm afraid my mother's upset. I didn't ask."

"Now what about this? Are you going to talk to your aunt? "

"... let's talk about it then. She's very busy now. I don't want her to worry about me all the time."

"Not bad."

After that, he explained: "Yue Kai is not unreasonable. No matter what happened to the elders, Yue Kai will not anger you. It's the adults who are wrong. You are innocent."

"... well."

Even if she is innocent, she knows that Li YueKai's love and hate are intertwined in his heart, and it must be hard for her.

The next day, in the morning.

As soon as Dong Mian and Qiu Yansen arrived at the Research Institute, their mobile phones rang.

It's a strange local number.

"Hello?"

"Dong Mian?"

On the other side of the phone, it's Mr. Li's kind and hoarse voice.

Dong Mian asked, "yes, who are you?"

"I'm Yue Kai's grandfather."

Dong Mian, as if struck by lightning, stood still.

Over there, Mr. Li kindly explained his intention, to the effect that he only knew yesterday that she was his granddaughter and what Ni Shu had done. He apologized for Ni Shu and sincerely hoped that she would come back to Li's home and reunite with them.

Finally, I asked her to have lunch together today.

Dong Mian seems to be in a white dream. All this is unreal.

Over there, Mr. Li said with a smile, "how about it? Are you free at noon today? "

"I..."

Dong Mian didn't know how to answer, "where's my mother?"

Mr. Li laughed, "it's really our fault. We haven't contacted your mother yet, because we don't know your mother's contact information."

"Well, Xiaomian, first contact your mother and ask her for advice. If she doesn't agree, we won't force her, OK?"

"... well."

"When you decide, just call me, and then give me Xiaoyun's number, and let me tell your mother," said Mr. Li with a sad sigh. "I haven't seen you for so many years, and I don't know how your mother has been. Speaking of it, I'm sorry for her."

Dong Mian didn't speak.

She doesn't know everything, can't judge anything, can't make any feelings.

After hanging up, Dong Mian thought about it and then called Yunqing again.

"Xiaomian?"

"Well, is mom finished?"

"I just got home from work. What's the matter?"

"I... Told Yue Kai."

Yunqing understood and said with a smile, "well, he should have known about it. You shouldn't have to bear it alone."

Dong Mian said, "Mom, just now YueKai's grandfather called me, and he told me to recognize my ancestors..."

Yun Qing is silent.

"What do you think, mom?"

Yunqing asked: "do you want to recognize your ancestors?"

"I don't know," Dong Mian said, "I don't know what to do, and... I don't know... What happened to you."

"Xiaomian, my mother didn't want to say much about what happened in those years, but you should remember that it was the elders of the Li family who owed you and me, and I didn't do anything sorry to them!"

Across the mountains and rivers, Dong Mian heard the resentment in Yunqing's tone.

She was very distressed, "Mom, then I don't want to return to my ancestors, it's unnecessary."

"No, it's necessary," Yun Qing sneered, "since they want you to recognize your ancestors, then recognize them. Who's afraid of who? But Xiaomian, you also have to remember that you should not believe the lies of anyone in the Li family. They are all extremely selfish people. Don't think they are a little bit better for you, so you should dig out your heart and lungs and guard them. Remember? "

The most complicated things that Dong Mian has dealt with are those between him and Li YueKai in the past seven years.

As for her previous experience in the Dong family, she has formed the habit of ignoring, ignoring, and not asking.

Now, Yunqing's words make her a little embarrassed.

She can't do it.

Yunqing seems to understand, "in fact, it's not so serious. Even if you go back to the Li family, you'd better not meet them as much as possible in the future."

In other words, there is not much time difference with Dong family.

"Well, I see."

"Tell mom when you've been wronged, don't hold it back, eh?"

"Well," Dong Mian warmed his heart, and after a while, "Mom, the... More armored grandfather, he wants your number."

"You give me his number. I'll contact him."

"Good."

"Are you sure you want to go back to the Li family?" Qiu Yansen recognized the clue.

"Mom said, whatever I want."

"What do you mean?"

Dong Mian bowed his head, "I don't know."

She's not ready yet.

"No hurry, take your time." Qiu Yansen appeased.

"Well."

Back in the group, Dong Mian's book didn't turn a page for a long time.

After an hour or so, Mr. Li called, "Xiao Mian, I have a communication with your mother. She agrees that you should go back to Li's home. If you don't think about it well, don't worry. You should have lunch with your family at noon before you make a decision, OK?"

"... well."

Mr. Li laughed and seemed very satisfied. "It's a good thing to hear that you and Xiaokai work in the same research institute. At noon, I'll ask YueKai to contact you and ask him to pick you up to the dining place. What do you think?"

Dong Mian was speechless.

"Xiaomian?"

"... good."

Li said with a smile: "I heard Xiao Yun say that you didn't have a brother before, and you will have a brother later. Don't worry, we will let Xiao Kai treat you well and don't let him bully you."

Dong Mian was holding her cell phone, but she didn't know how to respond.

With Mr. Li's reply, every second before noon was a torment for Dong Mian.

However, when it was time to get off work, she didn't wait for Li YueKai's call.

In fact, she was not afraid of anything, only Li YueKai's resentment.

Qiu Yansen comforted: "since he won't come, we won't go. Don't forget that you are innocent..."

Dong Mian never thought much about these things.

But she was full of all kinds of thoughts after daydreaming all morning. "I'm not innocent. Maybe he also resented that I didn't tell him the truth at that time and made him in front of me..."

"Eat first."

Qiu Yansen didn't know how to persuade her, so he had to drag her downstairs.

Just downstairs, seeing the tall and straight body leaning against the wall, they both stopped. Li YueKai looked up, and his thin faded lips raised a smile, "down?"

"... well."

Li YueKai said gently, "let's go. Let's have dinner."

Dong Mian's brain is blank, and his legs are out of control. Li YueKai looks at her confused eyes, shrinks his throat, and gently reaches out his hand to take her into his broad arms.

Dong Mian was shocked to stare at Mou, Li Yue Kai laughed, "can't elder brother hold younger sister?"

Dong Mian's face turned red and hung his head. Li YueKai touched her head. "Don't be nervous. It's OK."
