Chapter 294
After a fleeting glance, Jian Wei averted her gaze from Mr. Ban's unexpected look and said softly, "Hello, Uncle."
Mr. Ban, as usual, was not fond of talking much and just nodded. At this moment, my mother finally noticed Jian Wei's presence, even appearing more surprised than Mr. Ban. She asked subconsciously, "Girl, when did you come back to the country?"
Jian Wei bowed her head, her voice seemingly choked, "Auntie... I came back last year."
My mother looked at me, and I likewise avoided her gaze, feeling a pang of sadness in my heart because she called Jian Wei "Girl." Perhaps my mother had not yet stepped out of her former role, but Jian Wei and I had already drifted apart. Maybe soon she would marry Xiang Chen, and then who would want to bring up those days in Xuzhou when she was called "Girl" by my mother and Mr. Ban?@@novelbin@@
At this time, Yan Yan and Circle also greeted Mr. Ban and my mother, finally easing the indescribable atmosphere. Then I took the opportunity to lead them into the inn, opened a room for them to rest and relieve the fatigue of the journey.
As I was about to leave, my mother suddenly called out to me, asking, "Zhao Yang, that girl who's always wearing sunglasses, why does she look so familiar to me, yet I don't seem to have seen her before?"
I knew she was talking about Le Yao and said with a smile, "If she took off her sunglasses, you'd definitely recognize her."
What do you think?
