C117 Sadness

Jian Rui spent too much energy on her first day of school and cried for a long time. She only played in Ning Jiwei's office for a while before she fell asleep.

Ning Jiwei flipped through the investigation materials sent by the staff and hugged Jian Rui as he gently patted her back to coax her.

Ning Jiwei looked at Jian Rui, who was sleeping on his lap without any wariness. His heart was filled with guilt. There was no trace of blame or complaint on his daughter's sleeping face. She was even trying her best to play the lively and cheerful role to make them happy.

But as parents, how did they do it?

Ning Jiwei thought of what Gu Chenyi said and felt uncomfortable in his heart. In these six months, how much had he neglected his daughter?

Ning Jiwei put aside the investigation data that had no progress and reached out his hand to gently touch his daughter's cheek. He did not know when, but his daughter, who used to only act cute and spoiled, had become sensible and obedient. Even her slightly chubby face had lost some weight. Ning Jiwei's eyes showed infinite heartache and self-blame.

"Rui, I have let you down." Ning Jiwei closed his eyes to cover the tiredness in his eyes. He hugged his daughter tightly and murmured.

"Daddy." Jian Rui, who was sleeping, unconsciously turned her body. Her hands tightly grabbed Ning Jiwei's clothes, as if she was afraid that he would run away.

Ning Jiwei looked at her hands. His throat was slightly sore. He knew that what Gu Chenyi said was right. They could not continue like this.

Ning Jiwei lowered his head and thought for a moment. He held Jian Rui and got up gently. He put her on the bed in the lounge.

Jian Rui, who was sleeping, felt the movement. She rolled uneasily and held Ning Jiwei's clothes tightly.

Ning Jiwei paused and became even more relaxed. He patted her on the back and said, "Rui, be good. I will go out and make a call. I will be back soon, okay?"

Jian Rui seemed to understand Ning Jiwei's words. She slowly let go of her hand and turned around on the bed to sleep again.

Ning Jiwei took a thin blanket to cover her up and looked at her for a while. Then he quietly closed the door and walked out.

Jian Haixi lay on Jian Yi's bed, hugging his pillow and staring blankly. She suddenly received a call from Ning Jiwei, "Ji Wei, do you need something?"

"Yes." Ning Jiwei looked at the door of the lounge and said to Jian Haixi, "Haixi, can you take Rui to camp tomorrow?"

Jian Haixi was stunned and said, "Yes, but why is it so sudden?"

Ning Jiwei did not say anything and Jian Haixi continued, "Rui is only going to school on her first day today. Maybe we should wait for her to get used to school life."

"No, tomorrow." Ning Jiwei interrupted Jian Haixi's words but did not explain to her in detail. It was just that his voice carried a pleading tone, "You guys can go tomorrow, okay?"

Jian Haixi heard Ning Jiwei's voice and was stunned. She asked, "What happened to Rui?"

"She's fine." Ning Jiwei did not want to tell Jian Haixi about what happened in school. She had always suffered great pain. If she knew that Rui had to bear all this because of their ignorance, she would blame herself.

Ning Jiwei paused and said, "Don't ask about the other things first. Anyway, promise me that you will take Rui to camp tomorrow."

Jian Haixi was stunned and nodded. "Okay, then I will go to the supermarket to buy some necessities."

"Okay."

Ning Jiwei nodded. He thought for a while and said, "Don't drive. Take a taxi to the supermarket. Be careful on the road. Don't lose anything when you go to the supermarket, okay? "

Jian Haixi laughed, "Don't worry. I'm not a child anymore."

Ning Jiwei was silent for a while and a bitter smile appeared on his face. "If there's anything, call me."

Ning Jiwei hung up the phone and sighed. He walked into the lounge again.

Jian Rui was still sleeping. Ning Jiwei sat by the bed and looked at his daughter. He shook his head and said, "Your mommy said I treated her like a child, but she is not as reassuring as you. So, Rui, don't blame your mommy. She is just too sad."

After Jian Haixi finished talking with Ning Jiwei on the phone, she took a deep breath and got up from Jian Yi's bed. Because she had been lying on the bed all day without moving, she couldn't help but feel a little dizzy when she suddenly got up.

Jian Haixi rubbed her slightly dizzy temples and then forced herself to get up from the bed. After she tidied up the blanket, she carefully placed the pillow on the original position, then she changed her clothes and went out the door.

On the way from home to the supermarket, she did not find anything unusual. But after walking around the supermarket twice, Jian Haixi found that someone was deliberately following her.

Because of the influence of Jian Yi's incident, Jian Haixi's first reaction after finding out that she was being followed was to call the police. But she thought about it and realized that even if someone wanted to kidnap her, It seemed like they would not choose a place with a lot of people like the supermarket. Furthermore, she had previously met Fu Zuoann at the supermarket, so Jian Haixi knew that she needed to calm down.

She specially found a shelf that no one was shopping on, and then pushed the shopping cart in. Not long after, she saw a figure walking towards her.

Jian Haixi was so scared that her heart rate sped up a lot. Her hand that was holding the shopping cart was also sweating.

She looked at the figure that was getting closer and closer and then took a deep breath to calm down. In a while, when that person came over, she would push the car to crash into him and then take the opportunity to escape.

The figure was getting closer and Jian Haixi could already hear the clear and approaching footsteps of that person.

Jian Haixi silently counted in her heart. When she counted to one, That figure just happened to turn in and Jian Haixi did not say anything and pushed the shopping cart in her hand. She also scolded, "Do you want to kidnap me again? Go to hell!"

After Jian Haixi finished scolding, she turned around and wanted to escape. Unexpectedly, she had just run two steps when she heard a painful cry from behind, "My leg..."

Why did this sound like it was coming from an old man?

Jian Haixi's footsteps paused, but she still did not turn her head.

She was just about to continue running when she heard the person behind her call her name, "Miss Jian, don't misunderstand. I mean no harm. I am Ji Wei's father."

Jian Haixi froze. Her running footsteps finally stopped.

She turned around and looked at Ning Fubaang who was knocked down by the shopping cart. She was stunned and quickly ran over to help him up. "Sorry, I didn't know that person was you. Are you hurt?"

"I'm fine." Ning Fubaang smiled awkwardly and said, "It's not your fault. I accidentally scared you. Besides, you didn't know I was following you, so your reaction was normal. "

Jian Haixi blushed in shame. She bit her lips and supported Ning Fubaang to stand up. After making sure that he was not hurt, she let out a sigh of relief.

She looked at Ning Fubaang's white hair, as well as the deep wrinkles on his forehead and the corner of his mouth. Jian Haixi could not help but be stunned. In just half a year, the old man in front of her was much older than what she remembered.

Jian Haixi thought of what happened in Ning Family half a year ago. She was silent for a while before she looked up and asked, "Why are you here?"

Ning Fubaang looked at Jian Haixi with some embarrassment, then he carefully said, "I'm fine. I just miss Ji Wei. He doesn't want to see me, so I..."

Ning Fubaang did not finish, but Jian Haixi understood what he meant. She looked at the old man who was getting older and older and asked, "So, you want to see me because you want to know how Ji Wei is doing?"

Ning Fubaang nodded. He looked at Jian Haixi timidly and asked, "I won't disturb you, will I? I mean no harm."

"Of course not." Jian Haixi quickly said, "I don't think you are disturbing me."

Jian Haixi looked at Ning Fubaang like this and for some reason, she thought of her father. Back then, did her father also treat her with such care?

If she had not been so stubborn back then, perhaps her father would not have so many regrets.

Seeing that Jian Haixi's thoughts were not there, Ning Fubaang could not help waving his hand in front of her.

Jian Haixi came back to her senses and smiled at Ning Fubaang, "You can just call me Haixi."

"Okay, Haixi." Ning Fubang saw that Jian Haixi could accept him so quickly and he felt both happy and ashamed.

What he was happy about was that Ning Jiwei's wife was very good, both in character and character. What he was ashamed of was that he did not support them back then. If he had supported Ning Jiwei and Jian Haixi with all his strength at that time, perhaps that child would not have met with misfortune.

Thinking of this, Ning Fubaang looked at Jian Haixi guiltily and said, "Haixi, I'm sorry. Regarding the matter between you and Ji Wei, I didn't..."

Jian Haixi pulled the corner of his mouth and interrupted him, "Uncle, those things are all in the past. Let's not talk about it anymore."

Ning Fuban paused for a moment and nodded with a smile, "Okay, I'll listen to you. I won't talk about it anymore."

Jian Haixi pushed the shopping cart and said to Ning Fuban, "Uncle, I still need to buy some things. Why don't we walk around and chat. I'll slowly tell you about Ji Wei. How about it?"

"Okay." Ning Fubang nodded and followed Jian Haixi slowly.

"In the past six months, it's not that Ji Wei doesn't want you. He's just too busy." Jian Haixi sighed. He looked at the shelves around him and said to Ning Fuban, "You might think that his busy work is just an excuse, but it really isn't. Normally, he's not only busy with work, but also many other things. Also, because of my emotional distress, he also has to deal with the aftermath of the incident half a year ago. He also had to take care of Rui and me. All of these things added up and pressed down on his shoulders. It almost made him not even have time to catch his breath, so he did not have time to visit you. Besides, he really didn't have the time to deal with the matters of the Ning Family. So... "

"I understand." Ning Fubang quickly said, "I didn't blame him. The Ning Family is indeed troublesome. As long as they encounter the Ning Family, there will be endless troubles. Ji Wei was right. If he went back, he probably wouldn't have the time to deal with serious matters anymore. "

Seeing that Ning Fu Bang really cared about Ning Ji Wei, Jian Haixi's words became much more relaxed. She slowly told him all the interesting things that had happened in the past six months.

Ning Fubaang had been quietly listening and occasionally smiled. He nodded and echoed, "Ji Wei is a good child."

Jian Haixi roughly told him some things and smiled at Ning Fubang. "That's about it. These days, my memory is not very good, so I can't remember more details."

"It's fine." Ning Fubang waved his hand and said, "You have already told me a lot. I just need to know that he is living well."

Jian Haixi nodded. Seeing the potato chips on the shelf next to him, she took two bags and threw them into the car.

"Haixi..." Ning Fubang rubbed his hands and asked carefully, "Can I ask about Rui?"

Jian Haixi paused and turned to look at him.

"Don't misunderstand. I have no other intentions. I will not snatch the child from you." Afraid that Jian Haixi would misunderstand, Ning Fubang hurriedly said, "I just want to know a little more. She is Ji Wei's daughter. I..."

"It's alright." Jian Haixi smiled and said to Ning Fubang, "Rui is very lively. She also likes to act spoiled when she sees people. She also likes to eat sweets, especially chocolate."

Ning Fubang nodded and listened carefully.

Jian Haixi thought for a while and said to Ning Fubang with a smile, "How about this. We are going to camp tomorrow. You can come with us. How about it?"

"Camping? Me?" Ning Fubaang looked at Jian Haixi in surprise, as if he did not believe his ears. "Can I go?"

"Of course you can go with us." Jian Haixi smiled and said, "You are Rui's grandfather, right?"

"I am." Ning Fubaang quickly nodded his head and looked at Jian Haixi as he sobbed, "Thank you, Haixi, thank you..."

Looking at Ning Fubaang's teary eyes, Jian Haixi patted his arm and said, "Tomorrow you will come with us. We will pick you up at that time."

"Okay, of course I want to go." Ning Fubaang was so excited that he could not speak properly. He used his trembling hands to wipe the corners of his eyes. He looked up and asked, "By the way, I have to prepare more food for my granddaughter. What does she like to eat?"

Jian Haixi smiled and said, "Nothing else, just desserts. She has loved sweet food since she was young."

"Okay, then I will buy more."

Speaking of buying snacks for his granddaughter, Ning Fubang instantly recovered his vitality. Even his bent back straightened a lot. He followed Jian Haixi to the supermarket excitedly.

Not long after, Ning Fubaang had already brought back a lot of food. Jian Haixi looked at the things Ning Fubang chose in the shopping cart and felt warm in her heart.

Just now, she casually said that Jian Rui liked to eat dessert like her. Now, Ning Fubaang had prepared two sets of snacks.

At night, when Ning Jiwei brought Jian Rui home, Jian Haixi had already prepared dinner.

Seeing them return, Jian Haixi smiled and welcomed them in. "Quickly wash your hands and prepare to eat."

"Okay!" Jian Rui mischievously raised her hand and pulled Ning Ji Wei's hand into the bathroom. "Daddy, you also need to wash your hands."

Ning Jiwei smiled and touched his daughter's head lovingly. "Okay, I will also wash my hands obediently."

Dinner ended in a happy and relaxed atmosphere. Ning Jiwei and Jian Rui tacitly did not mention what happened during the day.1

After dinner, Jian Haixi was just about to clean up the bowls and chopsticks when Ning Jiwei took a step ahead of her.

He picked up the tableware and walked to the kitchen as he said, "Take your daughter to wash up. Leave the dishes to me."

"Daddy, who washes the dishes, is the most handsome!" Jian Rui took the opportunity to boast.

Jian Haixi could not help but laugh. She pulled Jian Rui and said, "We are going to take a shower."

"Mommy, I still need to apply the lotion." Jian Rui acted spoiled.

"Okay." Jian Haixi smiled.

They were washing up, while Ning Jiwei was obediently washing the dishes in the kitchen.

At this moment, the doorbell suddenly rang. Ning Jiwei frowned and turned around to open the door. He saw JOJO, whom he had not seen for a long time, standing at the door.

"Why are you here?"

JOJO stood at the door with a big push of the gift box. He said to Ning Jiwei, "It was not easy for me to come here. Why didn't you invite me in?"

Ning Jiwei frowned and let him in. He also said, "Rui is going to sleep."

What he meant was that if you came to find Jian Rui, you could leave first.

JOJO shook his head and said, "I am not here to find Rui. I have something I want to show you."

"What is it?" Ning Jiwei asked casually. He did not think that he would be interested in the thing in Jacko's hands.

___ smiled and handed over a photo. "I just came back from Iceland. This photo was taken there."

Ning Jiwei raised his eyebrows and took the photo. However, when he saw the content of the photo, he was stunned.

In the photo was the back of a person sitting in a wheelchair. Although it was blurry, the small figure and the slightly exposed chin looked like a person.

"I have a movie that needs to be filmed in Iceland. That's why I was lucky enough to go there. I found this photo when I was filming. At that time, I always felt that someone was following me. That's why I asked my assistant to keep an eye on it, and I took the opportunity to take a picture of the child in the wheelchair. "

Ning Jiwei's hand, which was holding the photo, trembled. He almost slipped the photo.

Looking at Ning Ji Wei's face, Jojo sighed and said, "Now you know why I came here so late at night, right? Because I think I have to let you take a look at this picture."

Ning Jiwei took a deep breath. His fingers, which were holding a corner of the picture, were clenched tightly. He looked up with bloodshot eyes and said to ___, "Thank you..."

Jojo waved his hand. Whether it was because of the Qin Family or because of his relationship with Jian Yi, he did not need his gratitude.

While the two were talking, Jian Haixi, who had washed Jian Rui, heard the sound and walked out. When she saw Jojo standing in the living room, Jian Haixi's eyes instantly turned red. "JOJO, is that you?"

Joe smiled at her and nodded. His eyes were also a little moist. "It's me. Long time no see."

Jian Haixi bit her lips and took two steps forward to hold him in her arms. She violently hit his back twice and scolded while choking, "You stinky brat."

The things Qin Tian did half a year ago, as well as the matter of Ning Jiwei taking Joe away, later on, she lost control of her emotions. These things caused them to become more and more unfamiliar...

There were many misunderstandings between them.

But at this moment, a hug seemed to have resolved everything. There was no need to say anything more between the two of them.
