She didn't believe that Rong Jiuci missed her daughter as much as she did.
An An is her child, not Rong Jiuci's.
But when he was about to say this sentence, Murong Rong paused.
It's so hurtful.
Such indifferent words are really hurtful.
She can hurt anyone, but she doesn't want to hurt her appearance.
More importantly, she knew how kind Rong Jiuci was to An An, whether it was taking care of An An when they were strangers at first, or insisting that An An be buried in the Rong family's ancestral grave after An An passed away, so that she would not be alone.
I know it, and I see it all.
Murong Rong was silent for a long time, but Rong Jiuci did not urge her, but looked at her quietly.
Murong Rong's heart felt soft again.
"I..." Murong Rong took a deep breath: "I dreamed that An An and I were playing in the sea of flowers. There were so many flowers, pink, white, red, yellow... they were very beautiful. We had a great time.
Then, a big bird flew from nowhere and snatched An An away. I chased him, I chased with all my strength, and finally the big bird disappeared in a villa.
I wanted to go in to find An An, but I couldn't get in. I was so anxious that I could only yell, but An An never came out, and I couldn't rescue An An."
This speech was very long, Murong Rong spoke intermittently, and it took a long time to finish.
Probably because he really blamed himself, Murong Rong had tears in his eyes, as if he was about to fall at any moment.
She said with a trembling voice: "I am a useless mommy. When An An was alive, I couldn't protect her. Now even in my dream, I can't protect her. I..."
Murong Rong had no chance to say the next words.
Her mouth was blocked by Rong Jiuci.
Rong Jiuci's expression was tense: "Rong Rong, you should blame me. It was me who failed to protect you and An An."
Murong Rong shook his head without hesitation.
Even if she was unreasonable, she would not blame Rong Jiuci.
Because she and An An were never Rong Jiuci's responsibility.
Rong Jiuci saw Murong Rong's thoughts clearly.
But it was the clarity that made Rong Jiuci uncomfortable.
"You should blame me. It's all my fault. It's me..."
It was because he believed Ye Wanxin in the first place and didn't investigate carefully that he discovered what happened next.
"Rong Jiuci..."
"Shh-"
"Rong Rong, I promise you, everything will be fine, and everything you want can come true."
Murong Rong nodded, and she followed Rong Jiuci's embrace and leaned into her arms.
She didn't speak.
In my heart, I actually don’t believe it.
She believes that everything will be fine, and she has been working hard for a better future, but she does not believe that everything she wants can be achieved.
What she wanted most and only wanted was that one thing.
She wanted to hear An An call her mommy again.
…
"Mommy..."
In the basement of Taoyuan Juli, An An called out softly in her sleep.
…
The next day.
Murong Rong went to the studio early in the morning.
She thought she had arrived early enough.
But she never thought that there was someone earlier than her.
Zhou Zhou had already been waiting at the studio door with his shoulders hunched.
Although Rongcheng gets warmer in spring, the temperature in the morning and night is still very cool.
"Why are you here so early?"
When Zhou Zhou turned around and saw Murong Rong, he immediately smiled: "Sister Mu, I'll clean up."
"You don't have to clean up so early." Murong Rong said as he opened the door of the studio and asked Zhou Zhou to come in quickly.
The temperature in the studio was higher than outside. Zhou Zhou felt warm and his brows relaxed a lot.
She stamped her feet and once they warmed up, she immediately went to get tools to disturb her hygiene.
But as soon as he made any move, he was stopped.
"Drink a glass of hot milk first before going."
"No, no need." Zhou Zhou waved his hands quickly, how could she deserve to drink something as good as milk.
"I said yes, you have to listen to me."
Murong Rong's attitude was very tough. He pulled Zhou Zhou to sit down and ordered a breakfast for Zhou Zhou on his mobile phone.
"Sister Mu, you really don't need it. Milk is already good."
Sister Hua is a gambler and doesn't work. She got some money through crooked means but lost it all quickly. She lives a tight life, so naturally she is not willing to spend more money on her.
Murong Rong glanced at her, the pressure in his eyes was so strong that Zhou Zhou could only keep his mouth shut.
Murong Rong was then satisfied.
Breakfast was delivered quickly.
Murong Rong ordered the most common breakfast, but Zhou Zhou ate in a hurry, looking like he was very hungry.
Murong Rong only glanced at it and then looked away: "I'll go to the office to work first. You can eat slowly."
Zhou Zhou nodded, stood up, and was about to send Murong Rong to the office.
"You don't need to send it to me. Just have your breakfast."
Murong Rong pushed Zhou Zhou down on his seat, turned around and returned to the office.
After Zhou Zhou watched Murong enter the office, he sat down to eat. She ate breakfast faster than before, almost gobbling it down.
She had no money, except for the little food Ji Baibai gave her yesterday, and she was already hungry for two meals.
When she was growing taller, she was so hungry that her chest pressed against her back. Now that she saw food, she could not control herself.
Suddenly Zhou Zhou realized that Murong Rong returned to the office because he probably wanted her to have a good time.
Zhou Zhou paused and ate faster.
Only by eating quickly can we properly contribute to Sister Mu. Even if she can only do work that disturbs hygiene now, she must be the one who is the best at disturbing hygiene.
When Ji Baibai and Xiao Yu arrived at the studio, Zhou Zhou had already finished cleaning and cleaned up the garbage in the trash can.
"Sister Ji, Sister Yu, good morning."
Ji Baibai couldn't help but smile when he heard Zhou Zhou's angry greeting voice: "It's okay, little girl. You came very early."
Zhou Zhou smiled sheepishly: "Sister Ji, if you have no other instructions, I will leave first."
Ji Bai nodded: "Go ahead."
Zhou Zhou said goodbye to Ji Baibai again and left with his unfinished breakfast.
Xiao Yu looked at Zhou Zhou's figure and said, "This little girl is not bad. She knows how to be grateful."
"It's a child after all."
Ji Baibai said as he took out his cell phone to check the surveillance.
This is a habit she developed due to the previous turmoil on the Internet.
Ji Baibai played the video at double speed, and it was calm at first. When the video was played in the middle of the night, a figure appeared on the surveillance camera.
Ji Baibai's expression changed and he immediately went to the office with his cell phone.
"Rong Rong, look at the surveillance video."
"What's wrong?" Murong Rong took Ji Baibai's cell phone and looked at it.
The more she watched, the uglier her face became. After the video ended, she immediately took out her mobile phone to call Zhou Zhou.
However, when she wanted to dial the phone number, she remembered that she did not have Zhou Zhou's phone number.
The little girl doesn't look like she has a mobile phone either.
