Reincarnation: I Married My Ex's Brother Chapter 789 - Xiao Li and Xiao Meng

Chapter 789: Xiao Li and Xiao Meng

Xiao Li noticed Zhuang Long’s gaze. She thought of something and her gaze froze. When she looked at Zhuang Long again, she could not help but have a deeper meaning. Xiao Meng came downstairs and wore the new dress she had bought two days ago, looking less old-fas.h.i.+oned.

However, she had worked in prison for so many years. No matter how beautiful her clothes were, they could not make her look younger.

The two women met and stared at each other in a daze.

Xiao Meng thought that this wife was really beautiful.

Xiao Li was thinking that Aunt Meng was really old.

Xiao Li nodded at Xiao Meng and greeted her respectfully, “h.e.l.lo, Madam. I’m Qilin’s mother.”

Xiao Meng tried to look more benevolent.

She walked to Xiao Li and held her hand. She said, “You’re really good-looking.”

Xiao Li said, “My name is Clarice, Clarice Lawson. My Chinese name is Xiao Li. Madam, you can call me Ah Li.”

Xiao Meng seemed to have heard something and her body swayed as if she had been struck by lightning. She muttered in disbelief, “Luo Sen… Luo Sen… Clarice…” She stared at Xiao Li’s face and the image of a little girl flashed across her mind.

Xiao Meng’s face suddenly turned pale.

Zhuang Long saw that his mother’s face had turned pale and thought that she was feeling unwell. “What’s wrong?” He strode over and held Xiao Meng’s body.

Xiao Meng leaned against Zhuang Long and shook her head with a weak smile. She said, “I’m fine. I’m old. Perhaps I have anemia.”

Zhuang Long did not think too much about it and took it seriously.

During the meal, Xiao Meng’s face was still a little pale. After the meal, her complexion looked much better.

After the meal, Zhuang Long directly conveyed Xiao Li’s decision. “Ah Li, when you go back, take Qilin with you. I won’t be staying at home for the next few days. Leave him here. I don’t have time to accompany him.”

Xiao Li was a little surprised.

She asked Zhuang Long, “Where are you going?”

Zhuang Long said, “I’ll be on a long trip. The date of my return is uncertain.”

It was already the 20th, and she was going to get married in a few days, but Zhuang Long chose to travel far away at this time. Xiao Li had reason to suspect that he was avoiding reality. However, Xiao Li did not criticize his cowardice. Instead, she asked another question. “If you want to travel far, what about your mother?”

Zhuang Long looked at Xiao Meng.

Xiao Meng smiled and quickly said, “Xiao Bao, go do your own things. Don’t worry about me. You’re already so old. There will be times when you have to travel far. I won’t hold you back.”

Zhuang Long said, “I’ll be back as soon as possible.”

“Then can Xiao Bao tell Mom where you’re going?”

Zhuang Long said, “It’s a little far. A place you’ve never heard of.”

In the past, Zhuang Long would make one whenever he thought of one. He often went to some distant places and brought back some strange things. Hence, Xiao Li did not doubt Zhuang Long’s words. “Qilin, come, let’s go upstairs to pack your things.”

Zhuang Qilin turned off the television and went upstairs to pack with Zhuang Long.

Only Xiao Meng and Xiao Li were left in the hall.

The two women looked at each other calmly. No one could guess how deep the turmoil in each other’s hearts was.

In the end, Xiao Meng spoke first.

“I really didn’t expect Xiao Bao to marry you.” Xiao Meng’s tone was filled with emotions. She really didn’t expect it. “When I saw you back then, you were still a little girl. Now, you’re the child’s mother.” And the mother of her grandson.

Xiao Li was also emotional. She asked Xiao Meng, “How have you been all these years?”

Xiao Meng replied, “It’s just like that. I changed in prison. I couldn’t reduce my sentence, but I didn’t suffer any unfair treatment.”

“Yeah.”

“You and our Xiaobao…” Xiao Meng lowered her voice and asked,” Our Xiaobao said that he doesn’t remember what happened when he was young. Then, does he still remember you? ”

Xiao Li shook her head slightly and said, “I don’t remember.”

Xiao Meng nodded.

The two of them were silent for a moment before speaking at the same time.

“Chris…”

“Aunt Meng.”

The two of them were stunned.

As a junior, Xiao Li took the initiative to give in and said to Xiao Meng, “Aunt Meng, you go first.”

Xiao Meng said, “Chris, it’s a good thing that our Xiaobao doesn’t remember those things. Auntie hopes that you won’t mention what happened when he was young in front of him. Let him forget it. It’s a good thing to forget.”

Xiao Li knew that he was going to say this.

Nodding, Xiao Li said, “That’s what I wanted to say too.”

The two women had the same thought.

At the corner of the corridor, Zhuang Long stood there quietly and listened to the conversation between the two women.

He had previously suspected that Xiao Li and had known each other before, but he did not know that they had known each other since they were young. If Zhuang Long had only wanted to regain his memories before, then at this moment, this thought had completely taken root and sprouted.

He had to find the truth. He had to remember Xiao Li. Otherwise, he would be letting Xiao Li down.

He wanted to recover and chase Xiao Li back as a normal person to give Zhuang Qilin a happy home. Before that, he had no right to disturb Xiao Li.

He stood there quietly and heard Xiao Meng say to Xiao Li, “Speaking of which, I have to thank you for your help all these years. I’ve always kept the photo you sent. Seeing that Xiao Bao is doing so well, I’m finally relieved.”

Xiao Li said, “This is only right.”

Zhuang Long was surprised again.

It turned out that the photo was sent by Xiao Li to her mother.

In that case, all these years, in places that he could not see, Xiao Li had been paying attention to him. For a moment, Zhuang Long felt very guilty and complicated. He felt both happy and sad.

Zhuang Long rubbed his face hard, got up, and went upstairs. Then, he carried Zhuang Qilin’s things and went downstairs with him.

When the two of them saw the father and son coming downstairs, they stopped talking.

Zhuang Long also pretended not to know anything. He said to Xiao Li, “Qilin’s things have been packed. You can go back and take him away later. I still have to pack my things.”

“Okay.”

Zhuang Long did not have many things. He packed his luggage and was not in a hurry to go downstairs. He sat in his room and only came downstairs when he heard Xiao Li drive away. Xiao Meng saw him and said, “Do you have a lot of things? Why did you pack for so long? Clarice and the rest were waiting for you just now. They left first when you didn’t come down.”

“Yes, a little too much.”

Zhuang Long looked out of the door with a gloomy gaze.

He left home that night and asked the driver to send him to the airport. He only bought the tickets when he arrived at the airport, and the place he was going to was not overseas, nor a famous tourist spot, but San Francisco.

It was still dark when he arrived in San Francisco.

Zhuang Long hailed a night taxi and went to Monterey Bay.

Monterey Bay was a very famous scenic area in California. It had charming scenery and many wild animals. Many rich people came here to relax and travel all year round. This was also where Zhuang Long lived when he was young.
