Chapter 237 You Are My Parents
Meng Yuanlan's face was already full of tears. "I'm sorry, An'an. I didn't know Yunzhou did such a thing. Are you willing to come back? Come back to the Zhao family. Mom and Dad will make it up to you in the future."
She stretched out her hand, wanting to touch Xia Anan.
But Xia Anan took a step back, avoided her hand, and said, "Forget it, I'm fine now."
"Why?" Meng Yuanlan's expression became very hurt, as if she had thought of something.
"Is it because of Yunzhou? Don't worry, I will teach him a lesson after I return and make him apologize to you."
Xia Anan shook her head and glanced at Zhao Yunjiao beside her.
Since the topic just now, the girl just sat there quietly with an indifferent look, as if what was being discussed had nothing to do with her.
"During the first two days after arriving in Beijing, I had to take care of Xia Baobao every day and get up before dawn to set up the stall. It was very tiring and I resented Zhao Yunzhou. Especially since he reported me and prevented me from setting up the stall at my original location."
"I'm sorry, An An, I didn't know about these things. If I knew, I would never let him treat you like this..."
Xia Anan looked at Meng Yuanlan's sad expression and felt a sense of revenge in her heart, not only for her but also for the original owner's emotions.
She continued, "But the suffering I endured after coming to Beijing City is not even one ten-thousandth of what I went through in my original family."
"Every family in the village wanted to have a son. Because I was a girl, I was almost given away when I couldn't even talk. When I grew up, the most common words I heard were "a loss of money". When I was a little older, the couple had a son, and I became a walking gift money."
"I had to cook and wash clothes for their family every day. If I didn't do well, I would be scolded. If I did well, I would also be scolded. I studied very hard, but in the end, I still couldn't escape the fate of dropping out of school."
Xia Anan forced a smile at her pale face, "Do you know what will happen to a girl if she doesn't go to school? Get married, have children... Fortunately, I was pale and thin at the time, and they all thought it would be difficult for me to have children."
"…That day at the hospital, the situation was urgent, so it didn't matter that you didn't recognize me. But then when you came to the stall for the first time, I thought you came to recognize me, but you didn't."
"If you didn't want to recognize me then, there's no need to do so now."
Xia Anan stood up, walked to the door and opened it, "Ms. Zhao, please go, Teacher Bao Bao will be here to teach soon."
"An An, it wasn't that Mom didn't want to recognize you at that time, it was just that I wasn't ready yet."
The delicate makeup on Meng Yuanlan's face was smudged by her tears. She regretted it. She didn't think too much at the time and was only thinking about herself.
Xia Anan didn't say anything, just stood at the door and looked at the two people quietly.
Zhao Yunjiao bent down and wiped the tears from Meng Yuanlan's face, "Mom, don't cry, let's go back first."
Meng Yuanlan's emotions had broken down at this moment, and she also knew that it was not appropriate to continue communicating with Xia Anan.
"An An, mom and dad really hope you can come back. I will also give you an explanation for what Yun Zhou did."
After seeing the two off, Xia Anan turned around and saw the little guy lying on the stairs looking at her.
Xia Anan waved at him and Xia Baobao ran over immediately.
He hugged Xia Anan's thigh and asked carefully: "Mom, are you unhappy now?"
"Huh? No way?" Xia Anan blinked and forced a smile for herself.
"Okay, stop laughing if you're unhappy." Lu Qingyuan followed her downstairs and pulled her hand down.
"I'm not unhappy..."
Xia Anan felt relieved at the moment. What she said just now not only helped her vent her anger, but also expressed the original owner's feelings.
Perhaps Meng Yuanlan has never experienced such setbacks in the business world?
But she didn't understand that family and business are different. In business, you can weigh the pros and cons, but family is different.
Maybe things were really just as she said. When she went to the snack stand to find Xia Anan for the first time, she was not mentally prepared.
But what about the countless meetings that followed?
Beijing is such a small place, and it only takes about ten minutes to drive there. If she really wants to say it, then there will always be an opportunity.
It was only after seeing those videos of Xia Anan that I suddenly felt guilty and came to confess to her.
But whether it is Xia Anan or the original owner, they are no longer needed.

Zhao Yunjiao helped Meng Yuanlan walk downstairs. She waited for her to calm down before starting the car.
"Mom, actually..."
Before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by Meng Yuanlan.
"Where is your elder brother now?"
Zhao Yunjiao was silent for a moment, then said, "Brother hasn't been to the company for a while, so he should be drinking with his friends now..."
Meng Yuanlan hummed, "Let's go back to the company first."
After get off work in the afternoon, Zhao Yunjiao found Meng Yuanlan's assistant and learned that the other party had just returned to the company today and had left.
She thanked the other party and took the elevator down.
On the way back, Zhao Yunjiao was in a good mood. When passing by the gate of the community, the security guard seemed to want to say something but hesitated.
"What's wrong? Tell me what you want to say."
The security guard pointed at Xia Dachang and the other man squatting not far away and said in a low voice, "Ms. Zhao, these two men said they know you and are here to look for you. They have been squatting here for several days. Do you think I should chase them away?"
Zhao Yunjiao glanced through the rearview mirror, with a smile on her face: "It's okay, maybe I recognized the wrong person. Let them wait first, just don't interfere with other people's lives."
She rolled up the window and drove away.
The security guard watched the person go in and thought to himself that she was worthy of being Miss Zhao, she was pretty and had a good temper, and she wasn't angry at all.
He strode towards where Xia Dachang and the other man were squatting, and said impatiently: "You two, stay away and don't be an eyesore here!"
He also said that they were Miss Zhao's parents. He is really a toad wanting to eat swan flesh. Miss Zhao has parents and has lived here for several years. Doesn't he know?
Xia Dachang was not convinced, but he had to endure it, for fear of angering the other party, who would not allow them to squat here.
The two of them would wait at the gate of the community early in the morning every day and would go back only after dark. After waiting for several days, they finally caught what they wanted.
Wang Chengmei felt that the person in the driver's seat looked familiar, so she immediately got up and started chasing after him.
But she had been squatting on the ground for too long, her legs had become numb, and she fell to the ground.
The car stopped, and the girl in the driver's seat walked up to her and asked with concern, "Are you okay? I have a dashcam in my car, and I didn't hit you."
Seeing the face in front of him, Wang Chengmei no longer cared about the pain in his body and suddenly got up.
"It's okay, I'm fine! Um..."
After finally waiting for the other party, Wang Chengmei wanted to say something sentimental, but when the words came to her lips, she suddenly remembered that she didn't know the other party's name.
