24. Little tadpole looking for mother
There is little crowd in the early morning of the commercial street, and many shops are not open, so it seems a bit deserted.
Tang Ying got up early and went to the breakfast shop next door to buy breakfast for Xiao Chen and Nini.
"Thank you Aunt Tang." Nini stretched out her hand to take the beef and onion stuffed buns sent by Tang Ying, and thanked her sweetly.
"Well, Nini is so polite." Tang Ying smiled slightly. In fact, she likes Nini very much and wants to hug her. But when she thinks that this is Xiao Chen and Jiang Yiyi's child, she always feels uncomfortable, so she can't let go.
"Or why don't you tell me Jiang Yiyi's address and I'll go by myself. You still have business here." Xiao Chen wiped out three meat buns and said to Tang Ying.
"It's okay. Guests usually come to the barbecue restaurants only at one or two in the afternoon. I have time all morning." Tang Ying replied, "Besides, this matter between you and Jiang Yiyi is a bit complicated. I'm afraid that others won't let you in. I can go and persuade you at that time. After all, my relationship with Jiang Yiyi is okay."
"Oh, that's OK." Xiao Chen thought about it. Jiang Yiyi was able to throw her biological daughter to the Xiao family for five years and ignore her. There must be a problem here. Maybe the other party's parents are really against Jiang Yiyi's raising this child. If she goes by rashly, it may cause unhappiness.
Although the other party didn't care about the child first, Xiao Chen decided to solve the matter calmly for Nini's happiness. After all, they are also Nini's relatives.
After breakfast, the three of them got into a taxi and were about to leave. Nini blinked her big eyes and asked Xiao Chen: "Dad, where are we going?"
"Let's go find mom."
"I don't want to go!" Nini was unhappy, frowned and pouted her little mouth, and she had not forgiven her mother in her heart.
Xiao Chen thought for a while and asked, "Have Nini heard of the tadpole looking for her mother?"
Nini didn't speak, nodded after a while, and said, "I've heard it."
"Why did the tadpole look for a mother? Her mother didn't leave the tadpole since she was a child, just like Nini's mother?"
"Because...because..." Nini pinched the corner of her clothes and looked confused. This story was not told.
"Dad tells Nini that it is because the tadpole's mother wants to let the tadpole grow independently and become a brave child. Nini's mother thinks the same way, so she has left you since she was a child. Now, mom is waiting for Nini to find her." Xiao Chen hugged Nini in her arms and said softly: "Mom will definitely be very happy if she sees Nini. At that time, she will definitely say: 'My baby has finally grown up, mom misses you every day!'"
Nini looked at Xiao Chen and asked, "Really? Is mom thinking about me every day?"
Xiao Chen nodded vigorously: "Really!"
Nini smiled happily. Although she said she didn't want to, she still wanted to get her mother's love in her heart, just like the song she heard: "A child without a mother is like a grass, and a child with a mother is like a treasure..." She didn't want to be as lonely and pitiful as the grass, she hoped that her mother would be treated as a treasure in her palm.
Tang Ying, who was sitting in the passenger seat, shook her shoulders. She turned her head and wiped away her tears quietly. She knew in her heart that what Xiao Chen had just said was a kind lie, and the truth might be even more cruel. Jiang Yiyi might even disregard Nini's daughter!
But in order not to prevent Nini's heart from being hurt anymore, Xiao Chen could only say such words to comfort her.
"If Nini was her daughter, I would definitely not have discarded her!" Tang Ying thought to herself.
...
Jiang Yiyi's home lives in the only villa community in Anmin County. Tang Ying said that when she was in high school, she went to her house with a few friends who were close to Jiang Yiyi. The decoration inside was very luxurious, which opened the eyes of ordinary people who had never seen the world.
"I remember it seems like this building, a-2...and it is this villa."
Several people got out of the car, and Xiao Chen looked up and saw that this was a European-style three-story villa with an underground garage and a small yard, and there was also a swing in the yard.
"Xiao Chen, you and Nini are here for a while. I will go and explore the situation of the Jiang family first."
Xiao Chen nodded and took Nini to the yard to play on the swing.
Xiao Chen saw Tang Ying knocking on the door of the villa. After a while, the door opened. An old woman walked out. Xiao Chen thought to himself: "Is this Jiang Yiyi's mother?"
Tang Ying talked with the old woman for a while, then returned to Xiao Chen, sighed and said, "Jiang Yiyi's family had moved to the imperial capital three years ago. This villa is temporarily taken care of by a nanny."
"Do you have her contact information?" Xiao Chen asked.
Tang Ying shook her head: "The nanny left my phone number and said that she would help me convey it when she saw Jiang Yiyi. I don't know if it's true."
Xiao Chen was silent. It seemed that he had to go to the imperial capital to find a child.
"Dad, where is mom?" Nini ran to her side for some time and asked Xiao Chen with her little face raised.
Xiao Chen had no choice but to continue to lie: "Mom goes to work elsewhere like Tadpole's mother. Well, she asked her father to apologize to Nini, saying that she would come back to find Nini after she finished her work. Nini must listen to her father's words at home and wait for her to come back."
Nini's big eyes were filled with disappointment, but soon she cheered up again and promised Xiao Chen: "I will be obedient!"
"Okay!" Xiao Chen touched Nini's head, but sighed slightly in his heart.
Before anyone could see him, the group had to take a bus back to Tang Ying's barbecue shop. After that, Xiao Chen said goodbye to Tang Ying and prepared to take Nini home.
Before leaving, Xiao Chen was suddenly stopped by Tang Ying.
"Xiao Chen...I mean, if..." Tang Ying wanted to speak, but finally seemed to have made up her mind and said, "If Jiang Yiyi doesn't want Nini anymore...I, I can be Nini's mother!"
"Ah?" Xiao Chen looked surprised, but then he realized, could this be... a confession?
Xiao Chen has no experience in love. On Ruolan Continent, there are several girls from the human and elf tribes who are interested in him. However, at that time, Xiao Chen did not have the leisure to fall in love. He had to practice his secondary career hard! He had to live! Otherwise he would starve to death!
He is single by his strength!
So when encountering this situation, Xiao Chen really doesn't know how to answer it.
"Well, you don't have to reply to me immediately!" Tang Ying's face turned red. She turned around and walked into the shop, "Just come to find me after you have thought about it!"
"Oh..." Xiao Chen turned around in a muffled manner, then pulled Nini into the taxi.
Nini suddenly asked Xiao Chen: "Dad, can I have two mothers?"
Xiao Chen: “…”
