Become a Cat and Be Pampered by Everyone

"Miss Shu." Mother Liu walked out. Compared to more than two years ago, she looked much older and her mental state was not very good. When she smiled at Shu Jie, it didn't look like she was smiling, but more like It was the skin on his face that was pulling.

She made an inviting gesture toward Shu Jie, with a pun: "Please come in, my wife has been waiting for you for a long time."

Shu Jie sneered. Even though she was forced to be brought here, she didn't show any timidity at all. She puffed up her chest and walked in.

As soon as she entered the door of the villa, Shu Jie smelled a very strong aroma of incense, so strong that it seemed to infuse the entire house.

Shu Jie frowned, and Ma Liu next to her seemed to know what she was thinking, and explained in a low voice: "My wife is kind-hearted and prays for Buddha, but her health is not good, so she can only burn some incense in the house these years."

Kindhearted?

Shu Jie's sarcastic smile was indeed kind. She used the hospital as a cover to do such unscrupulous things just to make herself feel better. This was indeed kind.

Mother Liu seemed a little unhappy when she saw the sarcastic smile on Shu Jie's lips. She said with a straight face, "Miss Shu, you are not my wife. You have no idea what she has suffered over the years!"

"Really?" Shu Jie asked lightly, but her casual attitude made Liu's mother even more uncomfortable. She wanted to say something else, but Mrs. Yuan's voice came from the room.

"Mama Liu, is Xiaojie here?"

Mother Liu then put away her previous attitude, lowered her head, and respectfully asked her to go into the house.

When Shu Jie was walking on the stairs, her eyes stayed on the most conspicuous mural for a few seconds.

Yuan Maner.

Maybe she was an outsider. Anyway, she couldn't see any trace of Yuan Man'er in her daughter. She really didn't understand why Mrs. Yuan was so sure that her Jiaojiao would be her daughter.

When Shu Jie was walking outside, she felt that the scent of incense in the living room was very strong. When she arrived at Mrs. Yuan's house, she realized that relatively speaking, the outside was really nothing.

Not only was the scent of incense very strong in Mrs. Yuan's room, but there was also thin smoke lingering around. Shu Jie felt a little surprised when she looked at Mrs. Yuan, who was sitting on the bed and seemed to be in the state of twilight.

When she saw Mrs. Yuan a few years ago, she was still full of energy, but now... Shu Jie felt that she could clearly feel the passage of life in her body. She might not have much time left.

The eyes that used to be so hale and hearty were now cloudy, but when she came in, they were obviously a little more radiant.

"Mother Liu, you go out first." Madam Yuan looked at Shu Jie, but she was speaking to Mother Liu.

Liu Ma glanced at Shu Jie, hesitated for two seconds before turning around and going out, closing the door behind her.

As soon as Liu Ma went out, Shu Jie and Mrs. Yuan were left in the room, one lying down and the other standing.

Thin smoke lingered around the two of them, and neither one spoke first.

The atmosphere was calm and depressing.

The two of them seemed to be waiting for the other to speak. Finally, Mrs. Yuan's cough broke the silence.

Mrs. Yuan looked at her and smiled bitterly: "It's rare for people of your age to be so calm."

Shu Jie didn't speak, and Mrs. Yuan probably didn't expect her to speak. She touched the quilt covering her body with her dry hands. It was a set of hand-embroidered brocade quilt, with the pattern of five sons winning the championship embroidered on it.
