Chapter 2104: Slightly Drunk (2)
A week passed by quickly.
Saturday happened to be Leng Xinran’s mother, Mo Shaolan’s birthday.
Leng Xinran thought about it and decided to go with Lan Xiu. Qin Su had caught a cold due to the cold weather a few days ago. Furthermore, she was pregnant, so Leng Xinran did not ask her to go with her. However, Qin Su still asked Zhou Zimo to deliver the gift.
Zhou Zimo personally delivered the gift to the entrance of the villa. It was very early, and the sky was just beginning to brighten.
Because she had to leave early, Leng Xinran had planned to leave at six o’clock. She did not expect to see a black sedan parked in front of the door when the car had just driven out.
Beep beep—
The horn sounded and Lan Xiu stopped the car. The door of the black car was opened. Zhou Zimo got out of the car with a few gift boxes in his hands.
“Zhou Zimo?”
Lan Xiu was a little confused when he saw that figure.
“Qin Su asked him to bring my mother a birthday present. Qin Su is thoughtful. It’s so early in the morning.”
Leng Xinran said a few words, then unbuckled her seatbelt and got out of the car.
“Good morning!” Leng Xinran walked over and greeted.
“Good morning!” Zhou Zimo also replied.
“Sorry, have you been waiting for a long time?” Leng Xinran asked apologetically.
“Not too bad, this is the present Qin Su prepared for your mother. I’m very sorry. We were supposed to go together, but she caught a cold and she’s is not in great health. Otherwise...”
Zhou Zimo looked apologetic.
Leng Xinran smiled calmly. “It’s okay. It’s not convenient for her to go to the countryside, and it’s a long journey. It’s tiring. It’s better not to go. My mother will understand. Please thank her on my behalf.”
Leng Xinran’s tone was full of sincerity and gratitude. Only Qin Su would have such considerate thoughts. All these years, it was thanks to her that she could feel a trace of warmth.
“You don’t have to stand on ceremony. She said that you are her most important friend.”
Zhou Zimo smiled. In fact, other than Leng Xinran, the proud Qin Su did not have many friends. Qin Su was always very attentive to Leng Xinran’s matters. Sometimes, she was even more attentive to her than his husband.
“Yeah, me too. We are both lucky,” Leng Xinran replied.
“Alright, it’s getting late. You guys should leave early. I have to go back too. She’s bored at home these few days. If you have time, you can visit her too,” said Zhou Zimo.
Leng Xinran nodded. “Okay, tell her to take care of herself. I’ll visit her in two days.”
“Okay, have a safe trip. Also, I wish Auntie a happy birthday!”
“Thank you!”
Zhou Zimo quickly got back into the car, and the car quickly left.
Seeing the car in front disappear, Lan Xiu started the car.
“I went to visit your father at home yesterday. He seems to remember that it’s your mother’s birthday today. He asked me if I knew your mother’s whereabouts. In fact, I think he should know about your mother’s whereabouts now. It’s just that he didn’t do anything because of you.”
Lan Xiu recalled the conversation he had with Leng Mingyi when he went to the Leng residence yesterday.
“My mother’s life and death has nothing to do with him. You don’t have to mention my mother to him. Otherwise, it’ll be like listening to a joke,” Leng Xin said coldly.
She was very clear about Leng Mingyi’s thoughts. In fact, she did not care about the divorce between Leng Mingyi and Mo Shaolan. After all, everyone had the freedom to pursue happiness. It was just that she resented Leng Mingyi’s indifference and heartlessness, and his cruel betrayal towards Mo Shaolan.
Lan Xiu’s expression darkened slightly when he heard this. He then replied, “The Leng family has now stabilized. It’s not that I’m speaking up for your father. I just feel that he hasn’t mistreated you. Now that things have reached this stage, perhaps you can ease the relationship between you and him?” Lan Xiu asked tentatively.
“Ease the relationship? How?”
Leng Xin smiled coldly, “If you had endured for so many years like me, you might understand that feeling better. In fact, I don’t hate him much. Isn’t he in a good state? No matter what, I can’t hope for him and my mother to get back together. No matter what, Xinling will never come back. He may be a qualified heir to the family, but he’s not a qualified father. I’m afraid you won’t believe me if I tell you this. From the day Xinling was born until the day she passed away...”
“Leng Mingyi has never hugged her... can you understand that feeling? I’ve also never seen such a cold and heartless person. As for me, I seem to have been influenced by him. After Xinling passed away, I felt that my mind was completely empty. If it wasn’t for my mother, I don’t think I would still be in this city.”
“I don’t know what kind of mentality I should have to face him with now. I just feel that the bit of familial affection I had with him all these years has been exhausted. Now whenever I see him, it’s more like calm water. Don’t doubt it Lan Xiu, this is the best state.”
Leng Xinran took a deep breath and replied.
“On Ye Xiaolian’s side, your father actually don’t treat her that well.”
Lan Xiu did not quite understand why Leng Mingyi and Mo Shaolan had come to this point back then.
“My mother couldn’t stand to see betrayal. At that time, it was my mother who brought up the divorce. However, cheating is also a fact. No matter what the reason is, under the circumstances that my mother didn’t do anything wrong, this matter of his is wrong.”
Leng Xinran’s tone was very calm.
“Being born into such a family means it’s destined to not be peaceful. Don’t think too much about it. Since things have already come to this, it’s fine as long as both of us are happy.”
Lan Xiu let out a long sigh. This kind of feeling seemed to be something that he could empathize with.
“Yes, so you don’t have to work so hard to change anything. The situation in the Leng family is the best. Right now, I only hope that my mother can live a peaceful life. I can live a more relaxed life. That’s good.”
“Ye Xiaolian seems to be...”
“Her wings in the Leng family have been clipped clean. She will stay by Leng Mingyi’s side and take good care of him. I don’t mind leaving a place for her in the Leng family. Otherwise, the Leng family wouldn’t be able to accommodate her.”
Leng Xinran’s tone was very cold. She had never been soft-hearted towards these people.
Lan Xiu glanced at her and did not say anything else. He just increased the speed of the car.
When they arrived at the sanatorium, it was noon, just in time for lunch. The two of them switched cars along the way, so they didn’t waste much time. They drove at high speed, which was faster than the last time they came.
