Chapter 703: My Bottom Line
The fireworks went through the short life in the gaze of Mi Cai and I. When the last ray of light dissipated from our sight, the squeeze of reality surged again. Mi Cai and I looked at each other and found that each other's bodies were covered with water stains and mud...
I asked her, "How many sets of changing clothes do we bring?"
"Two sets, one is what we are wearing, and the other is hanging at home, and it's not done at all!"
I looked at Mi Cai... and said for a while: "I can only go to the nearby shopping mall to buy another one!"
"Do you go in your clothes now?"
I subconsciously looked down and saw that it would be strange if we were really wearing this outfit to go to the mall, not to be regarded as mentally ill. So at this moment, Mi Cai and I were bothered by these little troubles in life.
Mi Cai finally remembered something and said to me happily: "Don't we still have pajamas? Let's wear pajamas first, put the wet clothes under the air conditioner for a night, and you'll be able to do it tomorrow... Save to waste money to buy a set, we are not short of clothes!"
I smiled and hugged her again, because I saw some petty and little wisdom in life in her, and we were all running in a plain life... So, I didn't want my current life to be cruelly destroyed by Yan Zhuomei. My mood became complicated again, but I had no way to deal with Yan Zhuomei, because I didn't know her too much, and she was too strong and self-centered! In her, it's really hard for you to see changes beyond her wishes!
......
After setting off the firecrackers, Mi Cai and I returned to the old house, but the moment we opened the door was full of surprises, because the dishes we cooked on the table were gone, and Yan Zhuomei was not in our sight...
It was not until the aroma of oil came from the kitchen that I realized that these cold dishes were brought to the kitchen by Yan Zhuomei to the stove... Sure enough, she brought a plate of hot dishes to the living room, looked at Mi Cai and I, who were covered in mud, and said, "The dishes are cold, I am hot!"
Mi Cai refused to communicate with her, and there was an insurmountable distance between me and her, so she just said "Thank you" very seriously!
Yan Zhuomei has a very strong heart. She didn't care about this at all, but asked: "Can you tell me what you just experienced? Why do you seem to have escaped from a refugee concentration camp?"
She clearly saw the scene that just happened, so this kind of teasing that made me feel indecisively asked makes me feel unable to answer. But Mi Cai replied: "Don't worry about what we have done. I really want to know if you have made the dish hot?"
Yan Zhuomei put the plate in her hand on the table. When she sniffed her nose, she realized something was wrong and hurried to the kitchen... I was so amused and crying, while Mi Cai just looked at her leaving back coldly, then went to the room to take out her set of couple pajamas and I. We went to the bathroom to change the dirty clothes, and then sat on the sofa in a very eye-catching posture. To be precise, it was the set of couple pajamas embroidered with cartoon patterns on us that were even more eye-catching!
Finally, the three of us sat down around the dining table. Yan Zhuomei picked up the chopsticks before us and started eating. She asked in a chat: "Who of you made this dish?"
Mi Cai still ignored it and I replied, "It's me."
Yan Zhuomei nodded and replied, "As expected, Xiaocai cooked food is not the same taste... I can't tell it, a naughty man full of negative news has such cooking skills!... Not bad!"
I couldn't be happy because of Yan Zhuomei's praise, because I heard another message other than that. She did investigate everything I did in the past clearly as Mi Cai expected, otherwise she wouldn't say that I was a naughty and full of negative news...I began to resist. I didn't want her to talk about the ridiculous things I had done at this dinner table, and she didn't want her to talk about the relationship between me and Le Yao that was beyond friendship... Because Mi Cai would be stimulated by this!
I remained silent, but Yan Zhuomei didn't talk about those things as I thought. She turned to Mi Cai and asked, "Xiao Cai... tell your mother, what do you want me to do before you can go back to the United States with me... Or, in your opinion, there is no room for negotiation at all?"
Mi Cai was not in a hurry to answer, she asked back: "Mr. Yan, I want to know more now, when you sit in this room, do you really feel no guilt for everything you have done?..."
Yan Zhuomei closed her eyes, and her tone was very complicated: "It doesn't matter whether you feel guilty or not, because many things have already had their results, and we can't change anything... So, I hope I can make up for some of the shortcomings I used to do in you. I hope you can return to me. For me, nothing is more important than this!"
Mi Cai put down the bowls and chopsticks, looked hateful, and replied, "I, I, I... Mr. Yan, have you realized how many times have you emphasized me in your words?...I really don't want you to use your own self and everything you have in this world, but you control the right to survive...I don't need your material gift, and I don't want to come back to you and face someone who makes you feel pain endlessly!"
Mi Cai's loss of composure did not cause Yan Zhuomei to have any emotional fluctuations. She looked at me and said to Mi Cai again: "Don't you want to go back to the United States with me, is it because of him?"
"Yes...we have decided to spend our whole life together. No matter how others view him, in my eyes, he is irreplaceable!"
Yan Zhuomei nodded, then fell into a brief silence. She finally said: "He has a disgraceful past and a mediocre life, but you like him. As your biological mother, I can also try to accept him... Of course, this is because I saw my concern for you in him, otherwise I would not be able to recognize this inaction man... Xiao Cai, my mother can make compromises for you and agree to be with you... But you must go to the United States with me and stay by my side, and you will inherit my industry together in the future. In addition, when you have children, you must follow Xiao Cai's surname Mi. Zhaoyang, you are a marriage-in-law in our Mi family... This is my bottom line, I hope you will not refuse!"
I was shocked!... This was an unexpected result, and Yan Zhuomei really made a compromise. I understand very well that trying to accept me is impossible for her, but now she has really tried this for Mi Cai...
