After Qu Xiujie left, Pei Ge quickly walked to Mao Nana’s side and consoled her softly, “Nana, my uncle has this kind of temper. He is very strange. If he wants to treat someone well, he must let that person suffer a little first. In my uncle’s heart, you are the most important. You must believe in your own weight. As someone who stands at the side, I can see that you are the only one in my uncle’s eyes.”
Pei Ge blinked her beautiful eyes and her heart ached at the sight of Mao Nana crying.
“But… but he just scolded me for a long time…”
Mao Nana felt wronged. Was it not right for her to be happy and treat someone well? Was it not enough for her to tell him that she was really willing to go with him?
“Nana, are you willing to believe me again?”
Pei Ge’s voice was hoarse as she looked at Mao Nana. She suddenly recalled the time when she first arrived in America. If not for Mao Nana’s constant company, she might not have reunited with Ji Ziming today.
“I…”
Mao Nana hesitated.
Back then, the two of them had been working in the same restaurant for two days. However, neither of them had enough money to pay for the next month’s rent. Pei Ge had no choice but to use the money for their last dinner to buy a lottery ticket.
Although the amount was not a lot, it was enough to support them for two months.
“If you still want to believe me, then listen to me and stay in the house. But don’t provoke uncle, don’t talk to him, don’t wash his clothes and cook for him.”
Pei Ge’s eyes shone brightly as she looked at her.
“I’m willing to believe you.”
When the two reached the lottery shop, Mao Nana carefully followed behind Pei Ge. When she saw Pei Ge pick a number and the last bit of money behind them turned into a piece of paper, and when she saw the numbers on the paper corresponding to the numbers on the display screen, her heart was in her mouth.
Mao Nana only told Pei Ge that she was willing and in return, she received two months’ worth of living expenses.
What a big deal.
It was simple yet challenging, but Pei Ge would not give it a try. She knew how powerful it was.
“Okay, then listen to me if you believe me. You just have to remember that you’re in the house and pretend that you don’t see uncle. I’ll be here for other things. I’ll accompany you until your leg recovers.”
Pei Ge’s voice was calm and her eyes finally relaxed. Her lips curled into a confident smile. “But Nana, I want you to do something for me. Are you willing?”
Mao Nana’s long legs slowly slid across the blanket. The blanket was light yet comfortable and it felt very gentle.
“What?”
Mao Nana looked up and asked Pei Ge.
Pei Ge whispered into her ears with her pink lips. From the start to the end, she did not show any unwillingness and even nodded her head with a smile.
“Okay, I’ll do whatever you say. It’s not because of anything else but because you’ve always helped me and because you’re a good person.”
Mao Nana reached out her sleeve to wipe her tears away. There were still traces of her tears on her fair cheeks.
“That’s good. Do you think I’m using you?”
Pei Ge said with a smile, but she was afraid that her image in Mao Nana’s heart would no longer be as beautiful and confident as before. She sighed inside. “Nana, if you don’t want to do it, you can tell me. I don’t want you to feel troubled because of me.”
Mao Nana laughed lightly and said to Pei Ge, “How can that be? Ge Ge, you don’t know what kind of girl you are in my heart. I always knew that you would succeed, so for your success, my sacrifice is nothing.”
“But this might cause you to be misunderstood by my uncle.”
“Then, will you misunderstand?”
Pei Ge looked at her suspiciously. She was a completely different person from before.
“I won’t because I understand you.”
“Ge Ge, do you believe it? Although your uncle treated me like this, I still believe that he did it on purpose. It’s as if he’s protecting me or trying to cover up something that I can’t find out, but I can feel that I have a place in his heart.”
Mao Nana smiled and her eyes became beautiful. Her entire aura of happiness was slowly increasing. Although one of her legs was wrapped in white gauze, it did not hinder her beauty at all.
“Are you sure?”
Pei Ge looked at her and did not know how important her uncle was to a girl like her. He even had someone who could see through him and understand him.
“Mhm, I’m sure. I’m very sure that he saw me fall today and ran over to check on my injuries faster than anyone else. Today, in the hospital, he was so anxious that he almost knocked down an old granny for me. How can I not know what he’s thinking? I’m not a child, so how can I not know anything?”
Mao Nana smiled happily at Pei Ge.
“Nana, you actually know so much. I’m still worried that you’ll really leave the house for uncle’s words.”
Pei Ge could finally relax. It turned out that the girl in front of her was so understanding.
“Ge Ge, come sit beside me. I want to tell you what happened in the hospital. I wasn’t sure before, but now, I am very certain and believe that uncle is truly willing to accept me.”
Mao Nana’s voice was sweet, and she was even more charming and beautiful now that she had gotten over her sadness.
“Okay. I want to hear what happened to you guys in the hospital. I really want to know. I’ve never seen uncle so nervous for anyone, nor did I see him so anxious.”
Pei Ge sat beside her and looked at her long legs. “Nana, your legs look really nice.”
“Perhaps this is the best-looking part of my body. If I didn’t have these legs, perhaps Uncle wouldn’t even like me.”
Mao Nana felt that it was a pity.
