C293 We Know Each Other More than That
It's called a small house, but it's actually a shed made of wood, wrapped in colorful oil-paper.
"Yes, this is my home"
"Mom, I'm back."
"Jing Jing, why are you late today?"
A soft voice came from inside. Ann Xuening could tell that it was a very gentle woman just by hearing the voice.
"Mom, there is a guest."
The little girl pushed open the wooden door and Ann Xuening and the others walked in.
There was only one bed, a cabinet, a table and a few stools in the room.
The woman was wearing a plain shirt and a long dress. The color was very plain and there was no decoration. The woman's black hair was gently tied behind her head with a bamboo stick.
If the scene was not wrong, Ann Xuening would think that the woman in front of her was a young lady from an ancient family.
Because when Ann Xuening came in, she was sewing a handkerchief in her hand.
"Are these all silent friends?"
When she saw Ann Xuening and Chung Yansen, the little girl's mother was not surprised but smiled at them.
"Hello, sorry to bother you."
"Miss, you are too polite. The guests are guests. Please take a seat."
"Jing Jing, can you bring the teapot for Mom?"
"Okay."
The little girl was obviously very happy. When she heard her mother's words, she immediately ran out and came in with a teapot and a few teacups.
There was only a short table in the room. Chung Yansen and Ann Xuening did not mind and sat down on the small stool.
"Is the little girl called Jing Jing?"
"Yes, my name is Nan Jing."
"This name is really nice to hear."
"Sister, my mother's name is even better. Her name is Nan Sheng, and she's born with a bamboo character plus a life. Isn't that very nice?"
"Yes."
"The house is simple and crude. There is nothing to entertain her. This flower tea was brewed by me. Please don't take it to heart. "
Nan Sheng lightly rolled up her sleeves and picked up the teapot to start making tea. Although Nan Sheng's hands were very rough, her movements were very elegant and her temperament was very outstanding.
"May I know how to address you?"
"My surname is An and my name is Ann Xuening. This is my teacher, Chung Yansen. This is my good friend, Hsu Jiaojiao. This is Hsiao Moran."
Hearing Ann Xuening's words, Nan Sheng lightly nodded her head and picked up the teapot. She slowly poured the tea in the teapot into the teacup. The faint fragrance of flowers spread in the air.
"Miss Ann, Mr. Chung, please have some tea."
"Thank you."
After putting down the teacup, Nan Sheng looked at Ann Xuening and said, "Miss Ann, why did you come with Jing Jing today? Is there something you need?"
When her voice fell, Nan Sheng coughed and very quickly, her face became very pale.
"Are you alright?"
"Mom?!"
"It's all right."
Nan Sheng used her handkerchief to cover her mouth and gently shook her head.
"Did you go to the hospital to take a look at your illness?"
Looking at Nan Sheng's appearance, Ann Xuening knew that it was not something that happened in a short period of time. Hearing Ann Xuening's words, Nan Sheng softly said, "An old illness."
As she spoke, Nan Sheng gently stroked her quiet hair. Her eyes were filled with reluctance and guilt.
Looking at the expression in her eyes, Ann Xuening softly said, "Nan Sheng, are you willing to bring Jing Jing with us?"
"Miss Ann, if you are willing, I hope that you can adopt Jing Jing but I cannot leave."
"Why?"
"As far as I know, the little girl's father has already passed away. "
"His father has indeed passed away, but in my heart, he is still alive Miss Ann, to be honest, what I am thinking is to be able to be with his father, but..."
At the end of her sentence, Nan Sheng's eyes turned red. Although her face was smiling, Ann Xuening felt endless sorrow.
"Miss Ann, are you interested in listening to the story between Jing Jing and me?"
Seeing Ann Xuening nod her head, Nan Sheng softly said, "His father and I knew each other during our journey. We met in this capital. I still remember that day on the train, when the sun rose. When I opened my eyes, I saw the person sitting opposite me."
"To be honest, the first time I saw her father was because of his face"
When she said this, Nan Sheng's eyes were full of smiles, joy, and joy.
"We met in the capital because we were all alone. So we went together. When we left, I wanted to marry him. I took the liberty to ask him if he could get his certificate with me. I thought he would be scared. But I didn't expect him to agree."
"After we got the certificate, we agreed to meet our parents and hold a wedding, but I didn't think that it would be the last time I saw him"
The police of the Lunar New Year bravely sacrificed themselves on the way home.
Seeing the life on Nan Sheng's face rapidly wither, Ann Xuening could feel the sadness and powerlessness.
"Quiet Father's looks must be very outstanding, right?"
Just by looking at Nan Sheng, Ann Xuening knew that this was a gentle woman. To be able to make her fall in love at first sight, she must be very outstanding.
Hearing Ann Xuening's words, Nan Sheng turned her head to look at Nan Jing and said with a smile, "Jing Jing, can you show Miss Ann father's photo?"
The little girl ran to the bedside and took out a red notebook.
This was a marriage certificate and the two people in the photo were like a couple. The little girl's father did not look particularly outstanding but he looked like a modest gentleman at first glance.
A familiar temperature suddenly came from her palm. Ann Xuening turned her head and saw Chung Yansen's line of sight.
"After the little girl's father passed away, have you been living here?"1
Hsu Jiaojiao looked at the shed and could not help but ask.
"We originally had a house, but it was taken away by his father's family."
"There was such a thing?"
Hsu Jiaojiao frowned and her eyes were full of anger.
"You and your husband have already gotten the certificate. Legally speaking, you have the right to inherit all of his property."
Chung Yansen, who had been silent the whole time, heard this and also said in a low voice.
But when Nan Sheng heard this, she only smiled and shook her head, "Zhang family has power and influence. I am just a foreign girl, what can I use to compete with them?"
"It's the Zhang family again?"
When Hsiao Moran heard about the Zhang family, his eyes were filled with surprise.
Nan Sheng's eyes also revealed some surprise, "You guys know people from the Zhang family?"
"Not only do we know each other, we have a conflict."
"Nan Sheng, do you know Zhang Wan?"
Nan Sheng nodded when she heard Hsu Jiaojiao's words, but the expression in her eyes was not good, "She is Zhang Mo's cousin."
Zhang Mo was Nan Jing's father's name.
"Cousin?"
"I heard from Zhang Mo that the Zhang's Group was created by his father. But he has always been in the military camp and is not good at business. So when his father passed away, he gave the Zhang's Group to his uncle to manage. "
"The house we used to live in was also taken back by the Zhang family, but the real estate certificate said Zhang Mo's name."
