Ji Huai sent her a message but didn't reply, so he called her when he was worried.

When the phone was connected, he kept his eyes open, and did not speak first, nor did he speak on the other end.

"mom."

Ding Xi's panicked voice came from inside.

"What is your guilty conscience?" A slightly dumb voice came. Mother Ding was looking at Ding Xi, did not continue to occupy her mobile phone, nor did she hang up, but calmly handed it over, asking unconsciously, "In love?"

The background shown here is a photo of two people cuddling together. Ding Xi is wearing a bachelor's uniform and the man is holding her.

Ding Xi looked at the phone that hadn't hung up, and hurriedly raised it to her ear and said, "I'll hang up first, and I'll call you later."

"Good." Ji Huai didn't say much.

Before the phone was hung up, he heard Ding Mu's words again: "Afraid I know?"

Ding Xi put away the phone and answered her last question openly, "He is my boyfriend."

She is indeed in love, and there is nothing to hide.

"Who did you just share rent with? Did you live with him?" Mother Ding grasped the point of the problem, as if she had found a new clue, she spoke with a gun and a stick, "Your grandma never taught you to cleanse and love yourself since she was a child? But she did it after she died. Can't control it."

Grandma Ding's ancestor was a big family, and she was half the eldest lady in the house. She was more or less feudalistic. Ding's mother came back from studying abroad again and she was open-minded.

Before being with Father Ding, she often clashed with Grandma Ding, and she hates it until now.

"I don't allow you to say that to my grandma!" When it comes to Grandma Ding, Ding Xi's attitude is very tough.

Mother Ding came quickly and had a problem with Grandma Ding, and Ding Xi seemed to have hardened her wings again, making her inevitably a little angry, "How do I say it is my business, you still can't control me. What kind of man do you have? My friend, I always have the right to know. It looks good, but it can’t be eaten as a meal.”

Ji Huai is a good-looking person, with a young and handsome face. There will be no accomplishments at this age, and it is inevitable that people feel that they are not suitable.

"He's fine." Ding Xi didn't want to say any more, and walked over to take the bag. "I'm full, and I have to go back to work. I will see you next time."

"Stop!" Mother Ding pulled her face, staring at her extremely displeased, "What do you mean?"

Ding Xi paused, did not answer her, nor looked at her.

She wanted to leave, she had tried desperately to stay before, and spend more time with her mother, even if she said a few more words, because she didn't know when the next meeting was.

There has never been a time when she wanted to leave like this, it made her feel suffocated, she wanted to go quickly and escape far away.

Seeing Ding Xi's appearance, Mother Ding's eyes became cold, and she reprimanded with dissatisfaction, "Speak!"

When you are used to being a teacher, your exit is a harsh tone, which makes you look aggressive.

"I'll see you another day." Ding Xi didn't know what she wanted to hear, so he hurriedly left a sentence, walked to the door again, opened the door quickly and walked out.

"boom!"

The door closed mercilessly.

A fire suddenly rose from the bottom of Mother Ding's heart, her chest was violently ups and downs, her slumped mood was nowhere to vent, her face was blue and white, and her eyes were stained with deep disgust.

At this time, she kept receiving information on her mobile phone, which was sent to her by a second-hand luxury goods platform.

Mother Ding clasped her hands tightly, closed her eyes, her face kept twitching, she opened it again, dialed another phone, and couldn't hold back her temper.

The person on the other end expressed innocence, and even coaxed her with a warm temper, which made her fire more than half. For the so-called investment to make money, she has to raise money again.

If you don't raise money, the millions you invested before will be lost, and you may turn around and get your money back if you invest.

She already has the mind of a gambler.

Mother Ding walked to the second bedroom and looked at the luxury goods in the cloakroom. She originally planned to keep it and asked Ding Xi to use the house as a mortgage to lend her some money. How could she have thought that the other party would refuse!

She held up her anger, packed up those luxury items, and went out.

At this time, her phone rang, and a slightly magnetic voice came over, she was talking all the time, and she calmed her mood with sheer patience.

Ding Mu drove the car and saw Ding Xi walking towards the gate from a distance.

She lowered her head and walked forward step by step.

Ding Mu stepped on the accelerator and wanted to leave quickly. With a glance, she stopped on a tall man outside the gate.

Isn't this the one who took pictures with Ding Xi?

She slowed down and saw the other person walking towards Ding Xi. He is tall and long and walks fast. It didn't take long to get in front of Ding Xi, with a smile on his mouth, stopping to look at her.

Ding mother frowned.

Ding Xi hadn't noticed that she lowered her head and walked forward, her mind was chaotic, full of sour and bitter complex emotions. Seeing a small stone at her feet, she bulged the plug, raised her foot and was about to kick forward, but spotted a pair of shoes.

So familiar.

She looked up and saw a more familiar handsome face. The dark eyes of the other party looked at her straight, with water-like gentleness, and the corners of her mouth were curved, and she bent slightly to look at her, "You don’t need to walk. See the way?"

Ding hoped for him, blinked again, and looked around, his expression was a little uncertain. After confirming that it was really him, his eyes slowly changed.

At that moment, it was like a sky covered by dark clouds. A beam of sunlight suddenly poured into her, illuminating her whole world, from freezing cold to warming.

"Let's go." Ji Huai reached out to hold her hand.

Ding Xi had already recovered, smiled and took his arm, "Why are you here suddenly?"

Seeing him, all the unhappiness will disappear, and he feels safe, just like suddenly having armor and a backbone.

Ji Huai: "I'm here to pick you up, I don't know which building it is, so I just waited at the door."

Ding Xi tilted her head and asked him, "When did you arrive?"

"Just arrived."

She intimately leaned her head on his shoulder, Ji Huai stretched out her hand and rubbed her hair, "Hungry?"

He did not ask her if she had eaten, but whether she was hungry or not.

"Hungry" she got up early and hurriedly prepared, and then went to buy fruit. She didn't have time to eat breakfast, and she didn't eat two bites of rice just now.

"I'm hungry too." Ji Huai said, leading her across the road.

Ding Xi was led by him, and her eyes felt a little itchy. If she doesn't say anything, he will not ask anything about her, and will always accommodate her in silence.

In front of him, she went from low self-esteem to slowly opening her heart, because she knew that he would stand beside her.

"I want to eat claypot rice," she said.

"Well, see if there is any in that mall." He looked at the opposite mall.

"I want to eat what you made."

Ji Huai raised his hand to check the time, "It's not early, it's too late."

Ding Xi: "I can bear it."

He looked at her firm eyes, changed the schedule, got on a bus that had just opened, and the next stop was the shopping mall. He bought the ingredients and then went back. By the way, he could buy her a cake to fill up his stomach.

Ding mother watched the two get on the bus, and she had already labeled Ji Huai in her heart.

No wonder Ding Xi has developed a rebellious mentality, saying that he is unwilling to give her a mortgage on the house. With this poor boyfriend, he is afraid that he has made other plans.

Ding Xi did not expect that Ding's first intervention in her affairs was actually a strong objection to her being together with Ji Huai and demanding that they must be separated.

The other party called more than once and talked about Ji Huai's affairs around the corner, and his attitude became more and more tough.

Ding Xi never thought of breaking up with Ji Huai from beginning to end, and was very tough.

"Is he a local? Does he have a house in the capital?" Ding Mu raised a question.

Seeing Ding Xi's silence, she had already guessed it.

"Do your parents have a pension? What about the family background?" Mother Ding asked again.

Ding Xi curled her eyebrows, "I don't care about this, he is fine."

"It's useless, no matter how good it is, he can't afford a house here. Live in your house? What are you doing? Saying it makes everyone laugh." Ding Mu sneered, thinking she was unreasonable, and even a little mocking in her tone.

a shame.

Bringing a house to marry a foreigner is very funny.

It is hard to imagine that this is what a self-proclaimed open-minded person said. Ding Mu is good at being lenient in self-discipline and strict in discipline.

"Break up!" Ding Mu's attitude was very tough, "I broke up immediately."

"Why?" Ding Xi choked on the phone.

"By the way I am your mother!" Mother Ding said confidently, with a commanding tone.

"You have never cared about me, why do you want to care about me now?" When Ding Xi said this, tears fell in his eyes.

Ding Xi's tears did not move Ding's mother, she even felt a little angry, "Can't I care about you? I gave birth to you a daughter."

Although she is divorced, she still has children. When she talks about it in the future, her face is dull.

"You have never cared about me before. I don't expect you to bless me, but why do you want to?" Ding Xi took a breath, her tone extremely disappointed.

The conversation broke up unhappy.

Ding Xi was depressed for several days, and Ding Mu, she obviously did not give up.

Father Ding already has a stepson, and she is not married. Ding Xi is her only child. It is impossible for her to watch her marry, and marry a poor man from another place.

When she called Ding Xi, the other party avoided this question and treated her much colder than before.

Mother Ding knew that Ding Xi was eager to get her attention, and the more eager she was, she would not want to give it, and the other party now has a new emotional support and will soon take her place.

This is something Ding's mother can't bear. Especially, she needs the other party and needs financial support from the other party.

So, she thought of a way, pretending to agree, and let Ding Xi take Ji Huai to dinner.

Ding Xi was naturally happy when she received her text messages. This is Ding's recognition of Ji Huai.

No matter how Ding's mother is, she is also her mother. Grandma is no longer there. Although Ding's father is not as indifferent to her as Ding's mother, he has not contacted her for a long time. She is like a drifting ship without a safe haven.

Ji Huai felt that things were not that simple, but looking at her with expectation and extravagance, she couldn't bear to break, "I don't know what auntie likes to eat? I'll order a restaurant."

"My mother likes western food." Ding Xi said.

"Okay, I'll check which western restaurant is delicious, and fix the location early." After Ji Huai ordered the restaurant, he also prepared a gift for Ding Mu.

Of course the gifts will not be very expensive. If they are too expensive, they will be wasted. With that money, wouldn't he keep it for Ding Xi to spend?

That day.

Ji Huai set off an hour earlier, and went to pick up Ding Xi first, and the two people passed by together.

Mother Ding did not come on time.

After waiting for another half an hour, Ding Xi looked a little apologetic, "I'm sorry, I'll call my mother, she just said that she is already on the way."

Ji Huai's face did not change, but she was relieved, "It's okay, don't worry."

No one answered Ding Xi's phone call, and she was in a hurry.

"Why don't you get something to eat first?" Ji Huai asked her.

The more he was like this, the more guilty Ding Xi was, and she shook her head again and again.

An hour later, Ding's mother was late, and an understatement was passed by a traffic jam on the road.

She also wanted to see an unpleasant look on Ji Huai’s face. As a result, they called her very politely and handed the menu to her, “You order first.”

Ding Mu looked around the environment and was satisfied. As for what to order, naturally the more expensive the better.

As Ding Xi listened, her face became more embarrassed, and she whispered to her, "Mom."

"One more foie gras." Mother Ding flipped through the menu, not looking up at Ding Xi, but at Ji Huai.

Ji Huai still smiled politely, as if unmoved.

Ding Mu put down the menu, interlocked her fingers on the table, and looked at Ji Huai with a smile, "The environment here is good and the vision is very good. You are good at choosing a location."

"I'm here for the first time. Auntie likes it. The first time I meet, I brought you a gift." After Ji Huai finished speaking, he handed the bag over.

Ding Mu opened the box and glanced at it. It was a silk scarf, not a well-known brand. It looked good in texture and good in fabric. She doesn't know the brand, but it shouldn't be cheap.

After all, Ding Xi only buys big-name things for her, so Ji Huai shouldn't be so uninterested.

She closed the lid, put it aside, and said slowly, "It's pretty good-looking, and the workmanship is good."

Ding Xi also breathed a sigh of relief when she said that.

"Auntie likes it, it's in line with auntie's temperament." Ji Huai answered.

"I heard Xiaoxi say how many years have you graduated, and the university you studied in the capital?" After the meal, Ding Mu picked up the knife and fork and started the interrogation mode.

"Well, I have graduated from Capital University for three years." Ji Huai turned back and put the dishes in front of Ding Xi.

Ding's mother originally wanted to be sarcastic. When she heard of Capital University, she paused and said, "Capital University is good. How is your job now?"

After all, it is the best university in the country. She now only works as a professor at the end of the undergraduate course. She still benefits from going abroad early, and she has a layer of gold plated abroad. At that time, domestic competition was not strong and she was mixed with professors.

"Work is okay." Ji Huai is neither overbearing nor overbearing. He is not as nervous and uncomfortable as she imagined. His tone is plain and flat, and he is neither flattering nor flattering to her.

Mother Ding was here to find faults. After hearing what he said, she changed her direction, "It's okay. If you can help with the family, it is not difficult to buy a house in the capital."

Even with an annual salary of several hundred thousand, in his opinion, it's okay. If you want to buy a house in the capital, that is still out of reach.

It is not easy for a foreigner to take root.

As soon as she finished speaking, she saw Ding Xi's worried and anxious eyes, and Ding's mother knew that she was right.

Poor boy out of town.

She ate a small steak and waited quietly for Ji Huai's answer, still casually perfunctory in her actions.

"I can't help at home." Ji Huai answered truthfully.

"Can't help?" Mother Ding looked up surprised, "If the family can't help, how many boys can buy a house in the capital? Those are rare."

"mom"

"Xiaoxi has a house, do you have to live in her house?" Ding Mu said a few different flavors.

Ji Huai was also very confused, and instinctively glanced at Ding Xi. He really didn't know that she had a house.

Ding Xi lowered his eyes and dared not look at him, and squeezed his skirt hard.

He told her all about his family background, but she concealed it from him, and she felt like she had deceived him. In fact, she just didn't know how to say it.

Ji Huai is a bit of male chauvinism, which is definitely not acceptable.

This look fell in the eyes of Mother Ding. She calmly took a sip of the juice and felt a little relieved in her heart.

Ji Huai was too calm just now, but now it is a normal reaction, probably embarrassed and embarrassed? Frustrated and helpless? Toad wants to eat?

Ji Huai didn't take the next step, and turned his head back, "Xiao Xi never told me about it. That's her house. It doesn't matter how she handles it, it's her thing."

Ding mother's eyes flashed, and she looked at Ding Xi again, her heart was already clear.

I can't see that her daughter still has some brains to hide this matter.

"Mom, don't talk about it, you can eat more." Ding Xi didn't want to talk about this topic anymore, and quickly opened up to resolve the embarrassment.

But Mother Ding was unmoved. She looked at Ji Huai with a smile but a smile. She sneered: "There is an old saying that marriage is a good match. It’s not right for these two people to be wrong. Now there is a saying. How do you say? Targeted poverty alleviation?"

"Mom! You talked too much!" Ding Xi's face changed suddenly, "If you do this again, we will leave."

Regardless of Ji Huai's good temper, in fact he is also very inferior and has a strong self-esteem. How can he be so humiliated by others?

Moreover, why did Ding Mu say that to him?

"Am I wrong?" Mother Ding put down her fork, sat upright, looked at Ji Huai lightly, with a cold face, "Isn't this wrong? How short is your gaze?!"

I found a foreigner, but his family was not good enough, and he looked arrogant.

What she hates most is arrogant people, of course, the main reason is that the other party will not please her.

When she was young, she went abroad and looked good. Numerous people held her. The biggest reason for separating from Father Ding was that the other party did not obey her, holding her, but was as arrogant as she was.

Two equally arrogant and tough people will probably not have any good results.

Ji Huai didn't pay much attention to what Ding's mother said, but when the other party scolded Ding Xi, his face was a little ugly, "According to my aunt, what is right?"

"Are you a local?" Ding's mother slightly raised her chin, with a slight contempt when she looked at him.

"Have people been divided into different regions?" Ji Huai didn't seem to understand. After a closer look, there was an unreasonable irony in his eyes.

Ding's face changed, "In the capital, you can afford to buy a house? Why are you with her? What qualifications do you have? What do your parents do? Think that you can change all of this by taking a college entrance examination?"

"How funny?"

"mom"

"Did I let you talk?" Mother Ding said with a cold face, and reprimanded Ding Xi, "I'll tell you again, I don't like him, so I will speak today."

"I don't look down on you either." Ji Huai intercepted the second half of her words, and the humility that just hung on his face no longer exists. He pressed his lips tightly, his words were not rushed, and more ignoring, "If you don't read For Xiaoxi’s face, I don’t want to invite you at all for this meal. If it is because of Xiaoxi’s face, I don’t want to give a gift at all. If it is not for Xiaoxi’s face, I don’t want to say a word with you. "

"You say it again?!" Mother Ding stood up abruptly, suspecting that she had heard it wrong.

Usually at school, the students treat her respectfully. It has been a long time since no one has spoken to her so ignorantly.

Ji Huai was not afraid, and his expression on her was faint, "When did you care about Xiaoxi? What did you care about her? What right do you have to point fingers at me? You are nothing to me."

"I'm her mother! She gave birth to her"

"When you gave birth to her, did you ask her for her opinion? Did she let you give birth? You are just following your own wishes to give birth to her, but ignore it. Should she be grateful? Birth? If you don't raise it, isn't it at fault?" Ji Huai said every word, poking at Ding's mother.

Ding's mother was blocked and couldn't refute, Ding Xi was already in tears beside her.

Yup.

Ding mother kept saying that she should pay her back. She will always owe her life to the other party, but who has asked her whether she wants to be born or not?

She did not choose to come to this world, and was abandoned one after another.

Seeing Ding Xi crying, Ji Huai calmed down his expression and took her hand, his words slowed down a lot, and his voice was soft, "Let's go."

"Speaking well, don't you still care about the conditions of our family? Seeing her identity, I just don't care about her anymore, and the future property will not be left to her? Isn't it all yours?" Ding Mu reacted and sneered. Aloud, with a calm face, "On this alone, I am qualified to point fingers at her future partner!"

"I don't want it." Ding Xi wiped away her tears and looked at Mother Ding with scarlet eyes. "I only want the house that my grandma left for me, and I don't want anything else."

Ding Mu was angry and said, "I can't help but say no! He is talking nicely now, and then, I don't know what it looks like!"

She has only one daughter, and she is approaching the age of retirement. Is it possible to have another one? Unless you donate it, it will definitely be left to Ding Xi

"You can keep it for now." Ji Huai left a sentence coldly and took Ding Xi away.

"What do you mean?!" Mother Ding didn't respond at first, and when the two of them left, she savored it carefully, and her pupils shrank suddenly.

Does Ji Huai know anything?

Then I thought it was impossible, and the other party didn't know her, how could he know this?

She was full of fire, with a sullen face, and she had to leave with her bag. The waiter stepped forward, "Hello, please check out the bill."

Mother Ding was startled, "Check out?"

The waiter smiled awkwardly, "Yes, your table hasn't checked out yet."

Ding's mother looked at the five-figure bill, with a stiff smile on her lips. Just now she wanted to give Ji Huai a slam dunk to let him know what he was and where it fits in, so she picked a lot of expensive ones.

Recently, she has a tight hand and has used all the credit cards that can be used. The money is really not available.

Mother Ding first called the so-called "boyfriend", and the other party was embarrassed, saying that she had helped her put up a lot of money for "investment", and she was really out of money.

Next, she experienced the most embarrassing aspect of her life: calling to borrow money one by one.

She had borrowed a lot of money before, but now not many people have loaned it to her.

Unexpectedly, one day, she couldn't even make up 10,000 yuan. After waiting for a few hours in the restaurant, she finally left with difficulty and despair.

Ding Mu originally wanted to throw the silk scarf given by Ji Huai into the trash can, but when she was short of money, she could only endure taking it back and plan to estimate the price online, but she almost fainted without expecting it.

That silk scarf is not even a small brand, but a characteristic niche brand, not worth a few hundred yuan. :,,
