"mom!"

Wu Qinghong said "Mom" with a smile on her face, and she said it very naturally and calmly. She was neither extremely excited nor shy or scared.

It seemed that Qinghong had never eloped before, and she still called her mother by her name very normally as before at home.

The reason may be said to be simple, but may be said to be complex.

To put it simply, it was because Qinghong knew the news long before she met her mother, and was mentally prepared in advance, thus losing the suddenness.

It's complicated because Qinghong has been like a bird out of its cage since she eloped with Cao Zhiqiang to the capital. Both her vision and mind have broadened a lot, and she is no longer as depressed as before.

In other words, although Qinghong looks no different from the past on the surface at this time, in fact, she is very different on the inside. She is no longer the child who didn't understand anything.

Qinghong's more mature mind has also greatly improved her way of dealing with people. At least she will no longer be easily disturbed by her mother's sudden visit, nor will she be hesitant and afraid because of it.

How should I put it? Reality is reality. Unless the feelings are really deep and emotional, ordinary family members will rarely hug each other and cry when they meet.

Look at Cao Jiajia, she already knew that her mother was gone, but after she came to the capital, she immediately came to seek refuge with her younger brother, and helped her younger brother capture his mother-in-law, without even mentioning the matter of paying homage to my mother-in-law.

Can you say that Cao Jiajia is cold-blooded and unfilial?

Not really.

It's just because Cao Jiajia is more mature and knows what is urgent and what is slow.

Finding out the true situation of my brother is urgent, while worshiping my mother is slow.

Only by making sure that this younger brother is really capable of bringing his family to the capital and can make good arrangements can Cao Jiajia feel at ease.

As for the mother's issue, people cannot be resurrected after death. She has cried before. At best, she can worship her again after she stabilizes.

But now, she still has to take care of living people like herself first.

This is not unfilial, but forced by reality.

In the same way, Wu Qinghong's main support now is Cao Zhiqiang, and she already regards herself as Cao Zhiqiang's woman, even the mistress of this house.

After getting married and obeying her husband, with this understanding, when she faces her mother, her confidence will naturally be different from the past.

This situation is just like you are married, have gone out to buy a house, and then one day your mother comes to the house, and you entertain her as the hostess and daughter.

The daughter's identity may not have changed, but in the past, the daughter was completely dependent on her parents and lived in a non-independent state.

But now the daughter is able to live independently without relying on her parents.

Independent and non-independent, these are two different things.

However, Wu Qinghong, who had been mentally prepared in advance, could calmly smile and call her "Mom", but Zhao Meifen, who missed her daughter to death, could not hold back immediately.

I saw the tears on Zhao Meifen's face that couldn't stop flowing down. However, Zhao Meifen did not cry loudly. Instead, she quickly took a deep breath, turned her head quickly, and kept crying with her hands.

After seeing this situation, Qinghong was also a little at a loss.

After all, although she is much more mature mentally than before, she still lacks experience and is still a little numb to this kind of scene.

"Mom, please, don't cry." Wu Qinghong was a little anxious. She walked over quickly and held Zhao Meifen's arm, "I, I, it was my fault. Mom, please stop crying. Don't cry, Mom."

"Yes, Meifen." Cao Jiajia was also advising beside her, "My daughter is here. It's such a happy event. Why are you still crying? Stop crying."

After being persuaded by Qinghong and Cao Jiajia, Zhao Meifen finally stopped crying.

After taking the handkerchief handed over by Cao Jiajia and wiping her tears, Zhao Meifen took a deep breath, then turned around, grabbed Wu Qinghong's hand with both hands, and looked at Qinghong carefully: "Qinghong, how are you doing?"

Wu Qinghong was stunned for a moment, then lowered her head with a smile, and nodded again: "Yeah!"

Seeing Qinghong's appearance, Zhao Meifen sighed again, but this time, she sighed with relief.

After nodding, Zhao Meifen let go of Wu Qinghong's hand and looked at Cao Zhiqiang, who was standing behind silently.

"It seems that you didn't lie to me. Thank you for taking such good care of my Qinghong."

Cao Zhiqiang laughed, then scratched the back of his head with his right hand: "This is what it should be."

"Yes, yes." Cao Jiajia quickly came out to smooth things over, "We will all be a family from now on. If he can't be nice to Qinghong, who else can he be nice to?"

Having said this, Cao Jiajia turned her head and winked at Cao Zhiqiang.

Cao Zhiqiang was stunned for a moment, but he quickly came to his senses and smiled and said to Qinghong's mother: "Yes, yes, we are all one family from now on. If one family does not speak the same language, if I am not good to Qinghong, who else can I be good to?"

?”

"Is it just Qinghong?" Cao Jiajia asked Cao Zhiqiang with a half-smile, "You don't care about Qinghong's family?"

"Of course not." Cao Zhiqiang said quickly, "Since we are a family from now on, then Qinghong's family is naturally my family, and I definitely can't treat them badly."

"That's pretty much it." Cao Jiajia nodded with a smile.

Then, Cao Jiajia looked at Zhao Meifen: "Meifen, are you relieved now? My brother is very good to your Qinghong. You can tell by the look on Qinghong's face that my brother is not lying.

And then, my brother also said it himself just now, not only will he be good to Qinghong, but he will also be good to you all."

Zhao Meifen nodded, sighed again, and then looked at Cao Zhiqiang carefully again.

At this time, Zhao Meifen looked at Cao Zhiqiang differently than before. It was really like a mother-in-law looking at her son-in-law.

"Forget it." After sighing again, Zhao Meifen nodded, "That's it for now. Let's sit down and talk about the business."

When everyone sat down again, Zhao Meifen was the first to say to Cao Zhiqiang: "Xiao Cao, I am not an unreasonable person. Although you kidnapped Qinghong without our consent..."

"Mom!" Qinghong, who was sitting next to Zhao Meifen, said hurriedly, "You can't walk around, it's so ugly!

It was me, it was me who asked for it, no, I was the one who forced him!

It was I who threatened him with death and forced him to take me away.

So, it’s none of his business! Don’t accuse him wrongly, and don’t embarrass him!”

Upon hearing what Qing Hong said, Zhao Meifen was stunned for a moment, and then smiled softly: "Why, you turned towards him so quickly?"

"No." Qinghong said shyly, "I, everything I said is true."

"Okay, I understand." Zhao Meifen smiled and patted Qinghong's hand, "Don't worry, I won't embarrass him."

Then, Zhao Meifen looked at Cao Zhiqiang again with a calm face:

"I can see that you are really good to Qinghong.

In this case, if you secretly took Qinghong and left without telling her, I will take over and write off the matter and no longer pursue it.

However, since Qinghong has followed you, you must have something to show for it, right?

We can't let Qinghong from our family follow you like this with no name or status, right?"

Cao Zhiqiang blinked: "Auntie, what do you mean..."

"When will you two get married?"

Zhao Meifen suddenly said.
