Chapter 1212: It Was Not Easy To Muddle Through
“Whatever. As long as I’m with you, General, anything is good.”
“OK.”
Helian Qingyu took her to a fine dining restaurant.
With the help of the romantic ambiance, the delicate dishes, and a glass of wine, Helian Qingyu asked, “Ling-Er, if I want to visit Lstan again, would you help me?”
“What?… Cough…”
Lan Ling-Er was enjoying her wine when she was choked by his words. It was her brother’s wedding that helped them muddle through.
She was still afraid of being found out, even until now!
What if they went to Lstan again and got caught?
“General, are you going there to save Jing Xi’s mother?” Lan Ling-Er asked, because she heard last time that Jing Xi’s mother was in Lstan.
Helian Qingyu did not lie to her. “Indeed, we want to save Jing Xi’s mother.”
“But… No, no. It’s too risky.”
Lan Ling-Er kept shaking her head and seemed really worried.
She had already heard that Jing Xi’s mother was kept in the castle on Ghost Island, supervised by her father.
No one could ever enter without his permission, not even her and her brother.
“Ling-Er…”
Helian Qingyu got hold of her hand suddenly and stared at her affectionately and with a look of concern. “You might not know that Jing Xi once saved my life. If it was not for her I would be dead. Therefore I have to pay her back. I want to save her mother in return. As long as you can help me, I will do whatever you want!”
“Seriously?” Lan Ling-Er was excited.
“Absolutely! I always keep my promises.”
“Then I need you to announce our engagement. Can you?” Lan Ling-Er tried to ask.
Helian Qingyu frowned and thought for a while, then raised his head and confirmed extremely seriously, “Yes, I can.”
“Once we are engaged, I can use this as an excuse to return to Lstan. Then you can come with me,” Lan Ling-Er explained.
“All right.”
Helian Qingyu agreed without hesitation.
Having settled the plan with Lan Ling-Er, Helian Qingyu went back to the presidential palace for his mother.
When entering the red chamber he dispelled the guards and went upstairs for his mother directly.
The red chamber was delicate and luxurious.
Yet it felt nothing like home.
Because his father and mother were never together. He never saw them stay together as long as he could remember.
Helian Qingyu stepped in quietly but did not find his mother. He went further into the room, lifted the gauze and saw his mother sitting by the bed and cutting some stuff.
Having no idea what she was doing, he did not disturb and went closer to her quietly.
He stood behind his mother and saw her taking out some pictures from an old case.
Once she took them out she started cutting them.
The pictures were cut into pieces and scattered on the floor.
“Mother, why are you cutting these pictures?”
Helian Qingyu picked up a bigger piece and saw a face on it.
He was shocked at the sight of the face. It seemed like Jing Xi. But upon a closer look, he figured that it must have been Jing Xi’s mother.
Just as depicted in the movie, The Perfect Scenery, it was Jing Ruyue.
Yun Xuerou had been focusing on cutting the pictures with resentment and did not hear anyone coming in. It was too late when she saw her son picking up the piece of picture from the floor.
