Chapter 226:
Finally, We Meet Again
Thinking that she had seen it wrongly, Kong XIa stared at Jiang Li for a long time until Jiang Li softly said, “Auntie Xia.” Only then did Kong Xia come back to her senses.
Regardless of what had just happened, Kong Xia pushed away Yue Qing, who was blocking the way and held Jiang Li’s hand directly. She said unhappily, “Why are you calling me Auntie! Do you really not want me as your mother anymore?”
Although it was a questioning tone, there was no blame in it. On the contrary, there was surprise and excitement in her tone. As expected, their Ah Li was here to look for them.
“Mom…”
Jiang Li’s voice was a little choked up. When Kong Xia came over to hold her hand and talk to her, her body was still stiff. Jiang Li did not expect that Kong Xia did not mind her previous bad behavior at all. Kong Xia was actually so happy to see her.
For a moment, Jiang Li’s feelings were complicated, but she could not hide her happiness. It took all of Jiang Li’s strength to say ‘mom’, but the moment she spat it out, her body felt much more relaxed.
The rock that had been pressing on her for so many years was finally pushed away.
Yue Qing, who was watching from the side, pouted his lips in dissatisfaction. He wanted to say something, but he was stared at by Fu Jiuxiao with a ‘kind’ look. He did not dare to flare up for a moment.
This was not the place to talk. Jiang Li brought Kong Xia to a Cantonese restaurant near the hospital. Fu Jiuxiao stayed behind to deal with Gu Sheng, and he even detained Yue Qing.
On the surface, Fu Jiuxiao wanted Yue Qing to get the wound on his hand treated, but in reality, he was worried that Yue Qing would cause trouble for Jiang Li.
“Sigh, you’re already so big…” Kong Xia sighed. “You used to be about the same height as me, but you’ve already grown so much after only two years.”
“Mom, how have you and dad been these past two years?” Jiang Li scooped a bowl of soup for Kong Xia. Kong Xia’s injury was on her right hand, so Jiang Li fed Kong Xia mouthful by mouthful.
Kong Xia was touched by Jiang Li’s action again. She knew that their Ah Li was not the kind of person who would forget about them just because she saw wealth and honor.
“Mom, I was the scoundrel who was insensible in the past and caused you to suffer so much injustice.” Jiang Li’s eyes were filled with tears, and she felt extremely regretful. Fortunately, God gave her another chance to make up for it.
“Silly child, what’s the big deal?” Kong Xia did not care about it at all. “Ever since you were young, what did you and Yue Qing have that didn’t upset us?”
Kong Xia sighed. In the past, Jiang Li and Yue Qing would quarrel few days, causing Kong Xia and Yue Ji to have headaches every day.
“Your father, on the other hand, is more concerned. After you left, he was sad for some time.” Kong Xia sighed again. She was more open-minded about everything, but the old man’s personality was like a bull’s.
“The father and son are also quarreling every day. I have no choice, so I’ll just let them be.”
Kong Xia’s every word was very calm, as if she was describing a small matter. However, Jiang Li knew how much damage she had brought to the family, so she could only slowly make up for it in the future.
“When dad gets better, I’ll personally apologize to him.” Jiang Li looked at Kong Xia seriously. She knew that her adoptive father’s personality and he liked to keep everything bottled up in his heart. There were some knots in his heart that needed to be resolved in person.
Kong Xia nodded in agreement. The old man was still seriously ill, so he could not get too emotional. It was better to wait until the old man’s body had stabilized before letting him see Jiang Li.
“Oh right, about that.” Kong Xia smiled at Jiang Li, held Jiang Li’s hand, and her tone was a little teasing.
“Who was that handsome and serious man beside you just now?” Afraid that Jiang Li would not understand, she added, “The one in the suit, sitting in the wheelchair.”
Jiang Li was stunned, and her face turned a little red when she thought of that person.
When Kong Xia saw Jiang Li like this, how could she not understand what was going on? She kept laughing, attracting the attention of the other guests at the table.
Jiang Li’s face turned even redder when she was laughed at by Kong Xia..
“Good, good… Our Ah Li has grown up, and she has such a good-looking and capable partner!”
“Mom, how can you tell that he is capable?”
“Mom’s eyes can’t be wrong! By the way, what’s his name?”
“Fu Jiuxiao.”
A name that was etched in her heart… Even Jiang Li did not notice the sweetness on her gentle face when she called out Fu Jiuxiao’s name.
