Stealing the moonlight into my arms

Chapter 178 Catastrophe

Xiao Jingting called Fu Runing twice, but no one answered.

He couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

It wasn't until the third call was made that the call was finally connected.

"Why didn't you answer the phone?"

Fu Runing explained, "I just had a leg cramp and was so busy massaging it that I didn't have time to answer the phone."

"You're cramping again? Is it serious?"

Fu Runing obviously didn't intend to talk to him over the phone. She said concisely, "Go east. I've put a Do Not Disturb sign at the bathroom door. Bring the things over to me."

"it is good."

A few minutes later, Xiao Jingting found the bathroom.

Everyone was in the banquet hall at this time, and there was indeed no one here.

Xiao Jingting knocked on the bathroom door.

A moment later, the bathroom door opened a crack and a hand stretched out from inside.

The white hand patted the doorframe.

Xiao Jingting handed the bag in his hand to her.

Seeing that she had taken something and was about to close the door, Xiao Jingting stretched out his hand to hold the door and asked, "Do you know how to use it?"

Fu Runing glared at him through the crack in the door.

Although his tone was really serious, Fu Runing still thought of some things in the past.

It was her first time using a tampon. She tried to insert it for a long time but couldn't, so Xiao Jingting helped her insert it.

"Thank you, I can use it now."

Fu Runing said this quickly and then closed the door.

Xiao Jingting looked at the tightly closed door, and some other emotions appeared on his cold face.

He planned to wait for her here.

His cell phone vibrated, and he picked it up and took a look. It was a message from Fu Runing.

"Don't stay here, go back quickly, I'll come back to find you later."

Xiao Jingting waited for a few more minutes before walking back to the banquet hall.

The lobby is bustling and noisy, but the corridor is quiet and comfortable.

At the corner, a young woman appeared and blocked his way.

Xiao Jingting just nodded politely to the woman as a greeting, but his eyes did not linger on her, and he was ready to leave.

The young woman took the initiative to speak, "Mr. Xiao, I have something important to tell you."

Xiao Jingting said calmly: "You can ask your brother to come and tell me."

The woman standing in front of him at this moment was Yu Wanyin.

Yu Wanyin's eyes were no longer as pure and clear as when they first met in the banquet hall, but now they were cold and firm.

She said slowly, "My biological father worked as a driver for the Xiao family many years ago. Later, his whereabouts were unknown. My mother was pregnant with me at the time and searched for him for a long time but couldn't find him. My mother was very confused after giving birth to me and often talked nonsense. She kept saying when I was a child that my father had an affair with Mrs. Xiao and that was the reason for the accident, but she also said that my father would never do such a thing."

She stopped talking here and didn't say anything further.

Xiao Jingting's eyes were cold and stern.

The two stood at the junction of light and shadow, looking at each other.

That was an old story of the Xiao family, a past that was never mentioned.

……

The elevator goes directly to the underground parking lot.

Fu Runing took off her high heels, changed into flat shoes from the back seat, and drove away.

Xiao Jingting left his car keys with her, which happened to be for her to use.

At this time, Su Qing was sitting in the back seat of her car.

The two of them were silent all the way.

Some things are not appropriate to say in that environment.

Maybe it takes a long time to mentally prepare yourself before you can even say it out loud.

When they stopped at a red light, Fu Runing looked at Su Qing's facial features in the mirror.

They had known each other for a while, but he had never looked at her as carefully as he did today.

She recalled the first time she met Su Qing, her face was gentle and generous, yet a little shy.

There is clearly no resemblance to Xiao Jingting on this face.

But at this moment, Su Qing was sitting there with a cold face, and her cold temperament was inexplicably similar.

At first they were just similar in spirit, but the more I looked at them, the more I felt they were similar in form as well.

Sculptor.

Even the professions are the same.

Where do so many coincidences come from?

Fu Runing was so panicked in the bathroom that she couldn't think about so many things.

And now these information points are connected in her mind, forming all kinds of outrageous guesses.

But when the coincidence reaches a certain level, then even if the answer is outrageous, it is still the correct answer.

Fu Runing drove the car back to her home.

The two houses are next door to each other, just a few steps away.

Fu Runing pulled over and parked the car. She turned around and asked softly, "Aunt Su Qing, do you want to go home or to my house?"

Su Qing in the back seat was silent for a long time.

Time seems to have frozen.

Finally, Su Qing said, "Can I see where Jing Ting lived?"

Fu Runing was stunned. She didn't expect Su Qing to be so direct.

She didn't even bother pretending anymore.

Fu Runing understood without asking any more questions.

"it is good."

She drove the car into her yard.

The two got out of the car.

Su Qing stood in the yard. She had looked into this yard many times before, but never had she felt as complicated as she did now.

Fu Runing pursed her lips, pointed to a maple tree, and said, "This maple tree has been planted in my house for thirteen years. It was planted the year he came."

Perhaps to lighten the mood, Fu Runing smiled and pointed to the sapling next to her, saying, "This was planted by my son Luoluo when he came home. My second uncle loves these weird rituals."

Su Qing looked at the tree in front of her, her eyes slightly red.

There was another moment of silence.

Fu Runing brought Su Qing back to her home. There was no one at home at this time. Her second uncle and aunt had not returned yet. It was time for her father to pick up Luo Luo.

At this time, only Duoduo came over with its tail wagging.

Duoduo picked up a pair of slippers from the shoe cabinet and placed them at Fu Runing's feet.

She rubbed Duoduo's head, then reached out and took a pair of new slippers for Su Qing.

Su Qing's attention was attracted by a small golden retriever ornament on the shoe cabinet. The wooden carved puppy was adorable, with its tongue sticking out and smiling, and a small butterfly hairpin on its ear. It looked very similar to Duoduo who was squatting at her feet.

Fu Runing picked up the wooden carved puppy and stroked it gently with her fingers. This toy was found by Duoduo herself in the Xishan Bay Villa. There were still dog's teeth marks on it, but it still did not affect the exquisiteness of the wooden carving.

She said slowly: "This should also be carved by him."

But she didn't know it before.

Xiao Jingting doesn't seem to like Duoduo very much, but he was able to carve this puppy into such a cute shape. Any beautiful finished product must have love in it.

Those details are hidden in the corners that are usually invisible and ignored until no one cares about them.

Su Qing's voice was a little choked, "He can also do this."

"Yeah, I was surprised too. Maybe it's just talent. And that's not all. I even have a locker with Chinese zodiac wooden carvings he carved for me."

After saying that, Fu Runing looked at Su Qing and tried to make her tone as relaxed as possible. "Let's go upstairs. I'll take you to see it."

"Ah."

Su Qing nodded and wiped away the tears from her eyes the moment she turned her head.

The rooms in the Fu family are arranged with adults on the third floor and children on the second floor.

Fu Runing's room is the best location on the second floor. Her brother lives in the room to her right, and Fu Zheng lives in the room to her left. Now these two rooms are empty, but they are still cleaned regularly.

Fu Runing pushed open the door, and the memories of Fu Zheng's five years came flooding back.

A bed, a bookcase, and a desk.

The entire wall of bookcases is filled to the brim. Just open any book and you can see the dense annotations and notes on the books, bearing the traces of the boy's struggle here.

Su Qing's fingertips gently stroked the desk, trying to feel the warmth that no longer existed.

After a long pause, she finally spoke, "Ningning, Jingting wasn't like this when he was little. He loved to laugh, talk, read, and learn wood carving from me. He was also very polite and kind. He's really different from now..."

Hearing this, Fu Runing felt a little depressed.

This was the second time she had heard about Xiao Jingting's childhood from someone else.

The last time she heard it was when the old lady told her.

In the old lady's words, Xiao Jingting was a little sun when he was a child.

At that time, she didn't believe it at all. She felt that this word could be used on anyone, but if it was used to describe Xiao Jingting, she felt it was unimaginably inappropriate.

But until she saw Xiaoting.

She gradually began to believe it.

"Auntie, he is still kind to others. He is kind at heart and has not gone astray."

Fu Runing didn't want to talk to Su Qing much about what happened when Fu Zheng first came to their house. Even when she recalled it now, she felt a little reluctant.

Not to mention how Su Qing would feel if she heard it.

"He used to like my dad the most in our family, and my dad liked him too. He's very good. Just ask around in this villa area, and everyone will know that we once had such an outstanding child."

Fu Runing tried to pick the good things to say.

Su Qing grabbed Fu Runing's hand, her eyes filled with tears.

"Ningning, it was your family who saved him."

Fu Runing listened to Su Qing's choked voice and watched the tears sliding down her cheeks, and for a moment she felt an indescribable bitterness in her heart.

She also wanted to ask Su Qing why she was alive but didn't come back to see her children.

Why is it that we have already met and so much time has passed, but you have never mentioned anything?

Face to face but not knowing each other.

Fu Runing felt indignant for Xiao Jingting in her heart.

But looking at Su Qing's tears, she couldn't say a word.

Who doesn't like their own children?

In the end, Fu Runing just took a tissue to wipe her tears.

She stared at Su Qing's face, and waited until her emotions calmed down a little before she sighed.

"Auntie, it hasn't been easy for you these years."

Su Qing's appearance has changed. Even though Fu Runing has never seen her photo in the Xiao family, she can tell from the reactions of the Xiao family members when they see her.

She looks different from before.

Fu Runing recalled the car accident the old lady had mentioned. At the foot of the cliff, only the car shell remained...

Taken together, it was a disaster.

Whether it is towards Xiao Jingting or Amelia Su.
