The Age of Rebirth: The Stepmother of the Sick Beauty Just Wants to Salt Fish

"Brother, why does Tongtong fall in love with you?" Mingwei looked at Mingrui and said, "Is it related to your previous heroic rescue of beauty?"

Hearing this, Mingrui's eyes were complicated. He stopped and looked at Mingwei for a moment, and then continued to move forward. Seeing this, Mingwei quickly followed: "Is it possible that I was right? ?”

"You don't know what the relationship between me and Xiao Tong is?"

A hero to save the beauty?He and Xiao Tong are half-brothers and sisters. Can they be described as "heroes saving beauties"?

Even if it's just a joke, is this appropriate?
Mingrui sneered, but Mingwei didn't know. She blinked her eyes and said, "Tongtong doesn't know that you are related to him by blood, let alone that you are her half-brother."

"Luo Mingwei!"

Mingrui emphasized: "I am your eldest brother. If you continue to be so young, believe it or not, I will teach you a lesson?"

"I didn't say anything, I just wanted to know how Tongtong fell in love with you, a silent big ice cube!"

Mingwei whispered.

Jiang Li was walking in front. She couldn't help being a little amused when she heard the words and said, "Your eldest brother must be talented and tall and have long legs. A boy like him is most likely to be liked by a girl your age." .”

This is undoubtedly explaining to Ming Wei why Xiao Tong is attracted to Ming Rui.

After all, it is not normal for adolescent boys and girls to have a crush on outstanding members of the opposite sex!
"Yes!"

Looking at Mingrui's chiseled handsome face, Mingwei nodded and said, "My eldest brother is indeed good-looking!"

"Mom, can you stop teasing me with Luo Mingwei?"

Mingrui looked uncomfortable.

"Did Mom make fun of you?" Jiang Li walked to the door of the study. She stopped and turned to look at Mingrui: "I'm just telling the truth!"

She curved the corners of her lips, and her soft brows and eyes were filled with smiles.

Before Mingrui came back to his senses, a chuckle broke out between his lips and teeth, and Jiang Liti stepped into the study.

"Brother, are you embarrassed to be praised by your mother?!"

Mingwei said with a smile: "You are my mother's great eldest son, you are my mother's pride. The two words of praise for you must be from my mother's heart. Brother, for the sake of my already injured little heart being stimulated again, please don't 'Versailles'" 'Is it done?"

"Me 'Versailles'?"

Mingrui frowned.

He clearly asked his mother not to make fun of him, but Luo Mingwei said it, but it turned into "Versailles". Are you sure this is not "June Snow"?
There is no need to think too much about what "Versailles" is. Whether it is Mingwei or Mingrui, they are all new words heard from Jiang Li.

"Is not it?"

Mingwei raised her eyebrows: "Mom said that you must be talented and that you are tall and have long legs. This is obviously a compliment to you, but you said that it was your mother who was making fun of you. Brother, why don't you ask the second brother and Tuanzi Three, just use your tone and expression before and listen to what they say."

"I'm not that free."

Mingrui said, walking towards his room.

"Stern and cold, I really don't know how Tongtong could fall in love with you?!"

Looking at Mingrui's leaving figure, Mingwei muttered something softly.

……

"You look sad. Did something happen to you?"

As Shen Shenqing drove back to the compound, she noticed that something was obviously wrong with Xiao Tong's mood. Combined with the fact that Xiao Tong's eyes looked like he had cried when he got in the car, he couldn't help but guess the reason.

After a long while, he didn't wait for Xiao Tong to respond, so he couldn't help but said, "Is it related to Brother Mingrui?"

When Mingrui left the hospital, although Shen Shenqing was talking to Minghan, she noticed Xiao Tong chasing him out.

"No."

Xiao Tong was sitting in the passenger seat. She shook her head and looked out the window. Obviously, she didn't want to tell Shen Shenqing about her strange behavior.

"You are my sister. If you encounter anything, you can tell me. If I can help you, I will definitely help you."

Shen Shenqing spoke slowly, but her tone was extremely sincere.

"I'm fine, you don't have to worry."

Xiao Tong held back tears welling up in her eyes. She didn't look at Shen Shenqing and shook her head again.

But whenever I think of Mingrui's words, I feel uncontrollable and uncomfortable.

For the first time in her life, she liked a male voice. Not only did he not like her, he also didn't give her a chance.

Is she bad?
But she is not ugly at all, nor does she have a bad temper. Now she has been admitted to Beicheng Normal University. Although the conditions are not particularly good, it cannot be called "bad", right?

Furthermore, why should she ask her father for the reason?

With doubts and heartache in mind, Xiao Tong went into his bedroom as soon as he got home and lay on the bed feeling sad.

He didn't leave the room until he finished eating.

As a father, how could Xiao Jin notice that something was wrong when his daughter's mood was abnormal?

What's more, when he came back from get off work, he called Xiao Tong for dinner. Just from the tone of Xiao Tong's answer, "I'm not hungry," it was not difficult to tell that something was wrong with his daughter.

Therefore, after dinner, Xiao Jin knocked on Xiao Tong's door.

Seeing his daughter's eyes turned red, Xiao Jin's heart tightened, and he looked concerned: "What's wrong?"

Xiao Jin asked warmly as he closed the door.

Xiao Tong turned around and walked to the bed and sat down. She looked at Xiao Jin for a while and said, "I like a boy..."

The next words were not spoken for a long time.

Xiao Jin: "But the other person doesn't like you?"

Xiao Tong nodded: "He said it's impossible between me and him."

As these words came out, tears fell from Xiao Tong's eyes like broken beads.

"I skipped dinner just because of this and hid in my room feeling sad."

Xiao Jin shook his head with a smile, and said: "My daughter is so good, but that boy doesn't like you because he is unlucky. Now you are about to go to university to register, where you will meet many outstanding boys. You want to It’s easy to find someone you like and likes you.”

Walking forward, Xiao Jin touched Xiao Tong's head: "You are an adult, and dad does not object to you being friends, but since the other person doesn't like you, it means that you two are not destined to be together. Dad thinks it's okay for you to be sad, but don't take it seriously. Take this matter to heart, after all, it is just a small episode in your life, and there is no need to worry about it, so... After a short period of sadness, Dad hopes that you can cheer up and move forward bravely towards the future."

"But I like him very much... In my heart, he is like a ray of light in the darkness, like a great hero who saves others from fire and water. I want to be good with him, but he doesn't like me and says that I It can never be with her."

Xiao Tong hugged Xiao Jin's waist and cried out.

Xiao Jin felt a little uneasy, and heard Xiao Tong crying and continuing: "I asked why, and he said you would tell me the reason. Dad, why do you think he doesn't like me?"

"You like...what's the name of the boy you like? Does Dad know him?"

It's definitely not what he thought.

However, Xiao Jin was disappointed, because when he heard Xiao Tong say a name, his whole body froze instantly.

"What did you say? The boy you like is Mingrui?" After coming back to his senses, Xiao Jin took two steps back and sat on a chair nearby. He stared into Xiao Tong's eyes and asked.

Xiao Tong nodded.

Xiao Jin: "Why do you like Mingrui? When did you start?"

"Can't you?" Xiao Tong said with tears in her eyes, "You have always praised Brother Mingrui at home!"

Hearing this, Xiao Jin's eyes were full of hesitation. He was silent for a while and then said, "Dad, I'd better tell you something!"

Originally, he planned not to tell his children for the rest of their lives that they actually had an elder brother. Even now, he has never mentioned it to his wife Shen Yun... But if he doesn't make it clear now, it will be difficult for his daughter to come out.

"It has something to do with Brother Mingrui, right?"

Xiao Tong asked.

"Yes." Xiao Jin nodded, and then said: "Ming Rui is actually your half-brother..."

dad!Do you know what you are talking about? "

Xiao Tong interrupted Xiao Jin, and her mind was buzzing at the moment.

Siblings?

Half-siblings?

In other words, before her parents got married, her father had a child with another woman, but her late mother didn't know that after so many years, as a half-sister, she actually liked her biological brother. ……How can it be?

Xiao Tong shook his head, she didn't believe it!

"Dad, you lied to me, right?"

Xiao Tong looked directly into Xiao Jin's eyes, with "impossible, this is fake" written completely in his eyes!
"Mingrui is indeed your brother, but dad only found out a few years ago."

Xiao Jin didn't look particularly strange. He said, "Before I met your mother, my father once had someone he liked. But when he married your mother, I no longer had any relationship with him. Let me tell you this, What dad means is that for your mother, dad did nothing wrong to her during the marriage."

Even if she still didn't believe it, at this moment, Xiao Tong knew that what she heard was true!

Because she knew, Xiao Jin, her father would not lie to her about that kind of thing.

The stopped tears welled up in her eyes again, and she choked and asked, "Then why didn't you tell me earlier?"

"Your brother doesn't want to know me."

Xiao Jin smiled bitterly: "When dad learned about your brother's life experience, he already knew that your brother would not recognize me. When I heard him say it himself, I was not surprised at all."

"Why? Why doesn't he recognize you?"

Xiao Tong sniffed and said, "You are the father, there is no reason for him to disown you."

"You should know that your brother lives a happy life in that home. He has parents and family who love him. However, I am only slightly related to him by blood and have never taken care of him or fulfilled my responsibilities as a father for a day. Or, my father and your mother Shen have started a family again, and if I meet your brother, things will get messy."

Xiao Jin looked solemn: "Now that you know the reason, you should give up your previous thoughts. Otherwise, it will only bring trouble to your brother and lead you to a dead end. Of course, Dad knows why he likes you. Brother, are you sure you like it?

From Dad's point of view, no, you were just because your brother showed up in time to save you and was hospitalized to save your injuries. While you were moved, you admired him very much, and then you regarded these two emotions as love. "

Looking into his daughter's eyes, Xiao Jin looked serious: "Do you understand now?"

Xiao Tong remained silent.

"Didn't you listen to what Dad said?" Xiao Jin frowned: "Or do you think everything Dad said was lying to you?"

Hearing this, Xiao Tong shook her head and said, "I understand."

It turns out that because they are half-brothers and sisters, Brother Mingrui said that there would never be anything between him and her.

Xiao Tong felt very miserable that he had fallen in love with his half-brother after silently liking him for a long time!

Xiao Jin's eyes were pleased: "That's good."

"Have you told Ji An's brother's mother?"

Xiao Tong had already changed her name to calling her stepmother Shen Yun mom, but in private in front of Xiao Jin, she did not use "mom" to refer to Shen Jun.

It's not that she doesn't want to, it's that Shen Yun didn't do anything to Xiao Tong, her stepdaughter, and she didn't even contribute much to the family.

It can be said that before Shen Shenqing (Ji'an) left with his biological father, that is, during the years when he was in kindergarten and elementary school, he, Xiao Tong, and their younger brother Xiao Xuan were all raised by Xiao Jin alone.Shen Yun doesn't care about life or study at all.

And I won’t go home if I can’t, as if I have put my roots down in the research institute.

In modern terms, although Xiao Jin and Shen Yun are husband and wife, they live in a widowed marriage.

Therefore, not only Xiao Tong, Shen Siqing, and Xiao Xuan didn't have much affection for Shen Yun, but even Xiao Jin didn't necessarily have any affection for Shen Yun.

To put it bluntly, the two of them were making do with each other.

It is worth mentioning that Shen Shenqing, also known as Ji'an, likes Xiao Jin as his stepfather, and even feels that by Xiao Jin's side, he gets the fatherly love he wants.

In this way, it is not that Shen Shenqing's biological father, Austin Davis, did not fulfill his responsibilities and was not good to him, but that he was very strict and focused on Shen Shenqing's studies and did not know how to get along with his son. His daily life was basically arranging servants. take care of.

Invisibly, it was difficult for Shen Shenqing to feel "fatherly love" around her biological father.

"not yet."

Xiao Jin responded calmly.

Xiao Tong: "Then will you tell her?"

"decide as things go."

Xiao Jin didn't think it was necessary.

First of all, Mingrui doesn't want to recognize him. Under such circumstances, he is undoubtedly asking for trouble by telling his wife Shen Yun about Mingrui's life experience.

Secondly, even if he reveals Mingrui's life experience, his wife Shen Yun may not be willing to listen. In this case, why bother?
Furthermore, does Shen Yun like Comrade Luo Yanqing, or is she still thinking about him? Once she knows that Mingrui is Comrade Luo Yanqing's ex-wife and his child, she may do something.

Xiao Jin and Shen Yun have been husband and wife for many years. Even if they spend less time together and stay apart more often, he still has some doubts about what kind of woman Shen Yun is.

——Easily impulsive emotionally!
"Stop talking!"

Xiao Tong wiped the tears from his face: "If you tell me, you may cause trouble to Aunt Jiang and her family."

They are both stepmothers. Her stepmother and Sister Wen Yue's stepmother are not comparable to Aunt Jiang at all.

Every time Sister Wen Yue and her sisters envy Brother Mingrui and his three siblings for having a good stepmother, she is actually very envious too.

Aunt Jiang is not only beautiful, but also has a gentle personality. She is especially good to children.

Like Sister Wen Yue and her sisters, she had fantasized more than once when she was a child. If Aunt Jiang could marry her father, how great it would be to be her mother!
However, the most she could do was think about it.

Just because Aunt Jiang and Uncle Luo are a perfect match!

Although Uncle Qiluo looks cold, he is really kind to Aunt Jiang!
Whenever Aunt Jiang returns to the compound after a vacation, whether Aunt Jiang is taking a walk in the compound after dinner, or going out to buy groceries, or go to the mall, Uncle Luo will always be by her side.

The two walked together, looking like a very happy couple.

"Dad knows."

Xiao Jin smiled, but it was hard to tell what he was thinking from his expression. He stood up and said, "Go wash your face, your food is left in the pot!"

"Ah."

Xiao Tong nodded, indicating that he understood.

……

The next day.

Jiang Li drove a car, his family's bodyguard drove another, and Jiang Boya drove another. The whole family sent Minghan to report to the National University.

Mingrui has naturally experienced this kind of treatment.

What does it feel like?
Just one sentence: sweet burden.

reason?

There are not many private cars these days, but his family sent three of them directly to send him to the university, and they were all imported from abroad.

Even though it is all low-key black, the logo on the car and the signboard have nothing to do with the word "low-key".

However, no matter how irritating or embarrassing I feel, I cannot refuse the kindness of my family.

Besides, their car wasn't stolen, so there was no need to worry about what others would say.

The Xi family made an appointment with Jiang Li, well, to be more precise, Mr. Xi made an appointment with Jiang Hongfa, and the two families went together to send their children to the National University of China.

Unfortunately, when they arrived at the gate of the National University of China, the school directly blocked the family members outside the gate.

With no other choice, Minghan and Xi Jingyu had no choice but to take their luggage into the campus and go through the admission procedures together.

Due to the strict management of National University, it is not easy to get out of school normally. After the two families took Minghan and Xi Jingyu to have a delicious meal at a restaurant outside National University, Xi Jingyu took advantage of the two families standing next to the car. He spoke, ignoring Minghan's glare, and called Mingwei aside.

"I will write you a letter every half month, please remember to reply to me."

This is Xi Jingyu's voice.

The roots of his ears were slightly red, and he said to Ming Wei slightly uncomfortably: "It's difficult to understand without contact, but communication can solve this problem a little."

Mingwei looked at the tall and handsome man in front of her. She was silent for a while and nodded: "Okay."

"You...you promised?"

The surprise came so quickly that Xi Jingyu was stunned for a moment.

"Yes, I agreed, but you don't seem very happy."

Ming Wei deliberately teased Xi Jingyu.

"No, absolutely not! I'm not unhappy!"

Xi Jingyu shook his head like a rattle: "I was just so happy that I didn't react for a while."

Mingwei deliberately poured cold water on others: "Actually, you don't have to be too happy. After all, I didn't agree to be your girlfriend."

"I know I'm in the inspection period, but I'm confident that I can catch you!"

Xi Jingyu's eyes were firm, and then he smiled like a fool: "Don't worry, you are the only one in my eyes, I won't even look at other girls, and there are not many girls in our National University. "

"You don't need to make any guarantee like me, do you know why?"

Ming Wei looked at Xi Jingyu meaningfully. She gave the answer without waiting for the other party to say anything: "Because in my opinion, what is mine is mine, and I will not force anything that is not mine."

"I have labeled myself yours. I will only be yours in this life. I promise I will not let you down!"

Xi Jingyu knew that Mingwei was telling him that once he had any involvement with other members of the opposite sex while pursuing her, he would immediately lose the qualification to pursue her.

In other words, she won't care, let alone want a half-hearted man!

……

Watching the two families' cars drive away, Minghan and Xi Jingyu looked away and returned to National University.

Walking on the green road, Minghan asked Xi Jingyu: "What did you say to my eldest sister?"

"Although we are friends and buddies, and you will still be my second brother-in-law in the future, I don't think I need to tell you about the things between me and my girlfriend."

Xi Jingyu raised the corners of his lips and replied to Minghan in a neutral tone.

"Girlfriend? Did my eldest sister admit it? Did my family admit it?"

Minghan sneered: "I know very well that my eldest sister just gave you a chance to pursue it. As for whether she will agree to you, it is probably unknown for a long time. Besides, the boys at Beicheng Film Academy are not Few, and not too many good-looking ones. Do you think you have an advantage in National University compared to those boys from Beicheng Film Academy who want to pursue my eldest sister?"

Xi Jingyu said without thinking: "I believe in Ming Wei!"

"What do you believe in my eldest sister?"

Minghan glanced at Xi Jingyu: "My eldest sister is tall and beautiful, and her temperament is close to that of my mother. There will definitely be no shortage of suitors around her. If any boy impresses my eldest sister with his sincerity, just wait. Beat your breasts and stamp your feet, and cry your nose!"

"Brother, you can say whatever you want. I will always believe in Ming Wei! But if it is like what you said, I will respect Ming Wei's choice."

Hearing this, Minghan was startled at first, and then his eyes filled with confusion: "My eldest sister has someone she likes, and you choose to give up?"

Xi Jingyu pursed his lips, and after a while, he said: "I understand that the melon won't be sweet if you force it."

"I think you are just a stupid roe deer!"

This guy has no problem with his character and is his good friend. If Luo Mingwei really fell in love with her, he would naturally hope that her partner would be the big fool next to him.

The reason is very simple, you are on your own, don’t worry!

"Am I not smart enough?"

Xi Jingyu raised his eyebrows: "I used to put a lot of pressure on you. From now on, I might be far ahead in physical fitness and professional classes!"

"It's a beautiful idea!"

Minghan sneered: "You have been thrown to practice by your family many times, and I have also been practicing since I was a child. Besides, don't forget what my second uncle does."

Xi Jingyu: "Then let me see the real chapter!"

Minghan: "Wait and see."

Almost walking downstairs of the dormitory, Xi Jingyu stopped, with a flash of hesitation in his eyes, and asked Minghan: "Who is Ji'an?"

While dining in the hotel, Xi Jingyu heard Guoguo mention Brother Ji'an to Mingwei many times and couldn't help but remember this name.

"A playmate in our compound was taken away to study abroad by his biological father after graduating from elementary school. He recently returned to China."

Minghan didn't think much and responded casually.

"Are we the same age?"

Xi Jingyu asked again.

Minghan: "Absolutely."

"He and you are childhood sweethearts?"

Xi Jingyu was obviously lying.

"Are you stupid? I am an old man and my childhood sweetheart. Are you trying to tame me or someone like Shen Shenqing?"

Minghan said, sensing something was wrong, he said: "I understand, you actually want to ask whether Shen Shenqing and my eldest sister are childhood sweethearts, right?"

Xi Jingyu did not deny it.

"You're actually trying to trick me. When we go back to practice, let's see how I deal with you!"

Minghan grinds his teeth.

Without fear, Xi Jingyu continued to ask him the information he wanted to know: "Is Shen Shenqing that Ji'an?"

"Didn't I say it?"

Minghan gave the other party a blank look.
