Chapter 719 – She Kneeled Down
“She made a merit and had her sentence reduced.” Christine White glanced at Baird Lane and simply explained.
Hugh Dong raised his chin indistinctly, indicating that he knew, and then didn’t ask any more, lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking, his breath around him was a bit low.
Baird Lane how can not see, he is in remembrance of grandfather’s death, pursed lips and stood up, “Well, things have passed, are you done eating, eat and then quickly get out and go to work!”
Hugh Dong knew that Baird Lane was comforting him, telling him not to dwell in the past, his heart was a little warm, but on his face, he still looked like he was singing against him, he also stood up, “Just go!”
After saying that, he slapped his chopsticks on the table and left the restaurant.
Baird Lane sat down again, Christine White propped her head up and looked at him with a smile but not a laugh, “Can’t see that you can comfort him.”
Baird Lane sipped his coffee with a bashful smile, “He may be no good, but he’s my brother anyways.”
“Come on, if you care about him, just say it, you have to beat around the bush to hide it, you’re like that, Hugh Dong is like that too.” Christine White shrugged her shoulders and picked up a napkin to wipe the corner of little baby’s mouth, while wiping, she added: “I can see that Hugh Dong has already accepted you as his brother in his heart, but he is just thin-skinned and can’t say it.”
Baird Lane’s thin lips hooked slightly and inaccessibly, blocked by the coffee cup, not letting the mother and son see it, and faintly mumbled, “I know.”
“So ah, you two brothers, both of you care about each other, care about each other, but just none of you are honest, so much so that in the eyes of outsiders, you don’t seem to have a good relationship.” Christine White sighs.
Baird Lane put down his coffee cup and wiped the corner of his mouth, “It doesn’t matter, let them see it as they want, as long as we know it ourselves, plus, that’s the way Hugh Dong and I get along, and it’s the most appropriate way to get along.”
“That’s true.” Christine White nodded.
These two brothers, after all, had been separated for more than twenty years, and Hugh Dong had been nurtured by Owen Dong as a job to get back at The Lane Family, and their feelings for The Lane Family had never been that deep.
So if Hugh Dong was close to Baird Lane as soon as he came back to The Lane Family, that would be strange.
What’s more, they were still love rivals before.
Thinking of this, Christine White was a little saddened in her heart, lowered her head, and silently ate what was on her plate.
Baird Lane stood up, “You eat slowly, I also go to the group first, there is an inspection today, it is very important, I will come back to accompany you guys in the evening.”
“Ok, go on, cheers for work.” Christine White put down her chopsticks and stood up, helped him straighten his tie.
And Baird Lane just obediently lowered his head and kissed her on the lips.
Christine White patted his collar, “There, it’s already straightened, be careful on the road and drive slowly.”
Baird Lane hmmmed with a soft frown and rubbed Bao’s hair again before lifting his foot to leave the restaurant.
He and Hugh Dong left one after another, making the whole restaurant quiet and a bit cold all of a sudden.
Christine White hadn’t finished her food yet, so she just continued to sit down and continue eating with little baby, and then asked about little baby’s study matters in a conversation.
Although little baby’s speech had become fluent, he still spoke a little less naturally in too long sentences, especially in terms of wording and descriptions, which were a little weak.
However, Christine White was not disappointed, because little baby’s autism had not been well for a long time, and still needed to stabilize and recover, and when the recovery time was long, there would not be any problem in speaking.
Christine White accompanied little baby in the old house for about two hours, until little baby’s teacher came, then she went back to her room to change her clothes, carried her bag and went out, ready to meet Debby York.
Just as she was walking to the front door of the old mansion, a figure suddenly jumped out from beside the stone lion and ran towards her with great speed.
Christine White was so startled that she couldn’t bother to see who the figure was, and hurriedly covered her stomach and stepped back, lest she be hit by the incoming figure.
Her body was not good, and her fetus was not stable, if she was hit, this child would definitely not be saved.
Fortunately, that figure also had a sense of proportion, and didn’t really hit Christine White, stopping.
Only then did Christine White look at her with fear, and when she saw Cici Jagu, a flash of surprise first crossed her eyes, then she wrinkled her beautiful eyebrows, “Ms. Jagu , you actually haven’t left yet?”
Baird and Hugh Dong didn’t see her when they left?
Cici Jagu looked at Christine White with red eyes, and after looking at her for a while, she suddenly knelt down towards Christine White with a thud.
This action of hers startled Christine White again and she subconsciously took a step back, “Ms. Jagu , what are you doing?”
“Mrs. Lane, I beg you, help me talk to the chairman, okay?” Cici Jagu’s lips bit, and tears flowed down in a flash.
Christine White looked at her like this and broke some headaches.
What she hated the most was people who didn’t move and cried, as if who bullied them, with an aggrieved look that was annoying to look at.
Most importantly, she was actually very bad at dealing with this type of people, because these types of people were all very deep-minded, and usually portrayed an image of themselves as physically sick and weak, and in case she fainted before she could do anything, then she would be justified in not being able to say anything.
That’s why she still preferred to deal with people who were explicitly bad, the kind of people who wouldn’t pretend to be soft and weak, and she’d be fine no matter how she hit them.Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.
But obviously, this Cici Jagu in front of her was not someone who was explicitly bad, but someone who was pure and kind on the outside and dark on the inside.
“Ms. Jagu , why don’t you get up first, okay?” Christine White rubbed her brow and said with as much patience as she could muster.
While speaking, she also bent down and reached out, ready to help the person up.
However, Cici Jagu moved a step on her knees, shaking her head and waving her hands, refusing to let her help her, “No, I won’t get up unless you promise me, Mrs. Lane.”
Yo, even used threats.
Christine White was worried that Cici Jagu’s swinging hand would hit her stomach, so she simply straightened up her body and didn’t bother to help, looking at her nails that had been cut short and nail polish removed, her tone was indifferent, “Is it true that if I don’t say yes, you won’t get up?”
Cici Jagu nodded, “Yes!”
Christine White laughed, “In that case, then you will kneel.”
After saying that, she crossed over Cici Jagu and was about to walk away.
Cici Jagu froze with wide eyes.
Obviously, she was in dismay at how things weren’t going the way she thought they would.
But she didn’t dwell on it too much and hurriedly stood up and headed after Christine White.
Christine White didn’t dare to walk too fast because of her child, so she was quickly caught up by Cici Jagu.
Cici Jagu unfolded her hands and stopped in front of her.
Christine White pursed her lips and looked at her, sneering: ”Ms. Jagu, didn’t you say you wouldn’t get up, but why did you suddenly get up? Your backtracking is also too fast, right, so fast that you have no integrity to speak of.”
Listening to Christine White’s mockery of herself, Cici Jagu was somewhat humiliated in her heart, but on her face she still had a resigned but tough look, “Mrs. Lane, how can you be so desperate?”
“Desperate?” Christine White raised her eyebrows, “May I ask Ms. Jagu , how am I being desperate?”
“I was on my knees, begging you so much, but you didn’t even agree to me, and when I wanted to see you yesterday, you didn’t want to see me either, and even let me stay out in the rain for so long, isn’t this not being heartless?” Cici Jagu lowered her arms and loudly accused.
Listening to her crime, Christine White gasped and laughed, “So that’s how it is, then I’m too aggrieved, right?”
Cici Jagu dead bit her lips and didn’t say anything, obviously not recognizing her aggrieved statement.
