While I was in shock and confusion, Chengcheng had already trotted up to me and held my hand.

"Auntie, why are you ignoring me? Auntie, please accompany me to play other games!"

I glanced at Ling Ya and said, "Sorry, I'm taking my little niece to play first. I hope you have a good time."

I played with Chengcheng until it was almost dark in the afternoon, and the little guy had all his fun. On the way back, the little guy had been sleeping in the back seat. I glanced at the sweetly sleeping little guy in the rearview mirror.

I can't help but think of the child I lost.

If she grew up to this size, would she be as lively and cute as Chengcheng?

I ordered takeout when I got home, spent some time doing my summer vacation homework with Chengcheng, and coaxed Chengcheng to sleep.

Zhou Wen came back, saw Chengcheng sleeping, and walked softly.

"Thank you for your hard work today. I couldn't spare the time to accompany your sister in the hospital these past two days. I neglected this little guy. I will make it up to your sister after she is discharged from the hospital."

"Be more careful with Chengcheng from now on, and don't worry about one thing and the other. Although Zhang Hao is a scumbag, Chengcheng is a good child. She will be sad because her brother neglects her at a young age."

Zhou Wen nodded, "I know this, shall I take you back?"

"No, I'll drive here myself. You can clean up."

I left my sister's house. Mo Lingtian didn't return to No. 1 Nancheng that night. I had a good sleep. Early the next morning, my aunt brought in an envelope.

The gilded font is very textured and the envelope is heavy.

"what is this?"

The aunt walked in and handed the envelope to me. "It was delivered by a driver. I heard it was an invitation to the birthday party of the daughter of a famous painter."

painter?

Guan Rou's name immediately came to my mind.

After all, in a small city like Nancheng, apart from Guan Rou, I really can't think of any other painter.

Guan Rou invited me to her daughter’s birthday?

"Got it, thank you."

I took the invitation and opened the envelope with questions.

It turned out to be an invitation to Guan Rou's daughter's birthday party.

I was thinking about the purpose of Guan Rou's invitation to me. Someone knocked on the door and Auntie opened the door. It was Yu Hui.

Yu Hui greeted her aunt and looked inside, "Is your husband here?"

The aunt smiled and said, "Mr. Mo is not here. Mr. Mo has been very busy these two days. He only came back once yesterday."

Yu Hui patted her chest, changed her shoes and walked in.

I wanted to put away the invitation, but Yu Hui saw it. With quick eyes and quick hands, she stepped forward and pressed the invitation in my hand.

"What is this? Did you win the lottery? You want to hide it from me and let me see...the birthday party?! Guan Rou's daughter?!"

Yu Hui covered her mouth and exclaimed.

"You have just met once. What is the purpose of her inviting you to her daughter's birthday party?"

"I'm confused too. I might as well not go after thinking about it."

I took the invitation back from Yu Hui and planned to throw it into the trash can.

"No, let's go and see what she wants to do. She only invited you to the art exhibition that the three of us went to together that day. It was obviously with a purpose."

Yu Hui took the invitation back, opened it and glanced at it, "I will accompany you then."

In the afternoon I bought a bouquet of flowers and went to the hospital to visit my sister.

When I arrived at the door of the ward, before I knocked on the door, I heard the voices of my sister and Zhou Wen talking from inside.

"The two bedrooms and one living room at home are not enough for the birth of the child. Why not sell this house and let's replace it with a larger house."

My sister was silent for a moment and said: "Rourou bought this apartment with money. If she sells it, I'm afraid it will break her heart. I don't want Rourou to know about buying a house and worry about it. I won't change it for the time being until the child grows up." It’s a bit later, let’s go to elementary school, and you can sleep with us for the next two years.”

Zhou Wen thought for a moment and handed my sister a glass of water. "Okay, then I'll discuss it with my family and add our savings to buy a new set."

Through the crack in the door, I saw Zhou Wen holding my sister's hand.

"I promised you that I would take good care of you and do my best to give you the best life. I am the only son in my family. You gave birth to a son in our family. My parents are very grateful to you. I believe they will not disagree."

My sister smiled softly, helpless and happy, and nestled in Zhou Wen's arms: "Okay, everything is up to you."

I took a look at the flowers in my hand and couldn't bear to disturb this scene, so I turned around and left the hospital.

The next day, Zhou Wen went to the sales department to look at the house. When I arrived at the hospital, my sister had just finished breastfeeding. During this time, the confinement nanny and the hospital nurse helped to take care of the child. My sister ate nutritious meals every day, and she didn’t have to work day or night. After raising children, I gained a lot of weight, became fair and plump, and even looked rich.

My sister and I hadn't even spoken a few words when she asked me about Mo Lingtian and me. I didn't like hearing this, so I changed the subject and started talking about something else.

When I received a call from Yu Hui in the evening, I remembered that today was Guan Rou’s daughter’s birthday party.

Yu Hui has already secretly prepared herself and asked me to dress up before she came to pick me up.

I came out of the hospital and called Yu Hui. After waiting for a while, Yu Hui came over. She was disappointed when she saw that I was dressed plainly.

"My baby! Why don't you dress up? I thought you would stun everyone and slap Guan Rou in the face!"

"It was a joke that I took over the honors at someone else's daughter's birthday party."

I got in the car and said, "Let's go."

Yu Hui thought for a while, "That's true, but if you don't dress up, you'll look better than Guan Rou standing there."

"You are the only one with a poor mouth. Don't say such words later. It will make people unhappy. I'll give you some shoes to wear."

"What a joke, what kind of shoes can Guan Rou give me? She's not my boss." Yu Hui didn't care.

I remembered what Tang Ning said, "Guan Rou's father is a high-ranking official in Nancheng. His position is unknown, but it is said to be very unusual. Although you are about to go to Beicheng, you still have to be careful. After all, you should know better than me about the principle of officials protecting each other." .”

Yu Hui stopped joking, "No wonder Guan Rou knows where you live. This is too scary. If you can't offend us, why can't you hide away?"

"Then do you still want to go to the birthday party?"

When I said this, the car had already arrived at the entrance of the Mandarin Oriental Hotel.

Yu Hui gave up and said, "It doesn't matter to me. I'm worried about my daughter. If you don't go, I'll take you home."

Before I could say anything, Guan Rou, who was standing at the door of the hotel to welcome guests, walked towards the car.

"Miss Gu, you are here."

Yu Hui was so frightened that she almost stepped on the accelerator.

Now that things have come to this, it’s hard for me not to think about it.

It would be too deliberate to back down now.

I opened the door and got out of the car.

"Miss Guan, thank you for the invitation."

I handed the red envelope I prepared to Guan Rou.

The red envelope was stuffed with 20,000 yuan and was bulging.

Guan Rou took it with a smile, and then gave me a souvenir, "Here is a set of Jo Malone perfume and La Mer skin care products. Remember to bring a gift back when you leave."

I took it with a smile and handed the souvenir to the waiter for safekeeping.

After being out for so many years, I have long learned to talk to people and talk to ghosts. I exchanged greetings with Guan Rou with a fake smile and entered the banquet hall.

When people around me saw me and Guan Rou walking in side by side, they all looked at us.

"Mommy..."

A milky sound came, and a little girl wearing a Cinderella princess dress ran towards me and threw herself into my arms.

"Mommy, can I have some cake?"

The little girl asked me in a cooing voice, her voice was soft and cute.

Different from Chengcheng Xiaoyu's voice, the little girl is like a little white rabbit, soft and waxy, and my heart almost melts.

I squatted down and was level with the little girl, "Baby, I'm not your mother. Auntie can't decide to give you cake without permission. You have to ask your mommy."

Only then did the girl see me clearly, and then looked at Guan Rou next to her, but she didn't let go of my hand, she just blinked at me with her big wet eyes.

"You are my mommy."
