"Ever since he went to the orphanage, he has been thinking about his mother. He talks about her during the day and dreams about her at night. He always wants to find his mother."
Later, people from the Jiang Family came, recognized him, and said he was a child of the Jiang Family.
A-Wang sighed and looked up at the stars in the sky.
"He was so happy at the time. He hugged me and said, ' A-Wang, I have a mother now! I have a mother now!' He was so excited that he couldn't sleep all night."
"But the Jiang Family treated him badly."
Zheng Muyun had read online how Jiang Mingle, Jiang Ke, and Jiang Family's parents treated Xiaoxi.
Even if it's just the tip of the iceberg, one can surmise that the malice of the four people must be concentrated on Jiang Mingxi alone.
When Zheng Muyun was watching the live stream, during the first episode, when Jiang Mingxi suddenly took off her wristband, revealing the scars on her wrist, Zheng Muyun almost fainted from the pain in her heart.
Just how much suffering did one endure to create Zisha (purple clay)?
I keep thinking about dying.
But in the first episode of " Survival Challenge ", when Jiang Mingxi came out, he was clearly the lively and cute Xiaoxi, and even very bold. He confessed to Song Lan in front of the camera and pursued her. As her mother, she was embarrassed for him.
Why would someone with such Xiaoxi frequently want to use Zisha (purple clay) teapots?
How could such Xiaoxi, with such a good nature, be constantly bullied?
unless...
Zheng Muyun herself has experienced being tormented by Su Zhang Lin, experienced amnesia, experienced memory confusion, and now she has remembered everything.
Almost instantly, an answer came to her mind. Her voice trembled as she asked, "Does Xiaoxi... have some kind of mental disorder?"
Instead of answering directly, A-Wang asked, "If so, what does Auntie think we should do?"
Zheng Muyun was filled with worry for her youngest son and didn't notice the probing in A-Wang's voice. Clutching the "star" in her hand, her heart ached terribly. "He was abused by the Jiang Family..."
He shook his head again when he said this.
It's not entirely the Jiang Family.
Xiaoxi has so many expectations for her mother and family.
He lost his family at the age of three, and for years he constantly longed for them. He went to the Jiang Family carrying the heavy burden of those hopes for over a decade, only to be stabbed again and again, which is why he couldn't bear it anymore...
With a trembling breath, Zheng Muyun thought, "He truly deserves to be the one who helped Bai Jinghan build the Bai Corporation family business from scratch."
They quickly noticed something unusual.
Did Xiaoxi know Song Lan before?
A-Wang raised an eyebrow, "Why do you say that, Auntie?"
Zheng Muyun shook her head, "I guessed it. Xiaoxi suffered so much injustice in the Jiang Family, going through several life-or-death situations, that her personality suddenly changed. The first thing she did wasn't to leave the Jiang Family, but to chase after Song Lan..."
"This should be considered a form of emotional release for self-protection, right?"
To pour all your emotions into another person...
"He probably knew Song Lan before, which is why he subconsciously chose someone who made him feel safe when selecting a target, right?"
"It's not just because Song Lan is good-looking, it's also... that they've met before?"
Zheng Muyun shared her thoughts.
A-Wang hadn't expected that Jiang Mingxi's mother would have guessed this far.
But those who can work alongside Bai Jinghan in the business world must be quite intelligent.
Without further ado, he said, "The 'star' you're holding was given to Jiang Mingxi by Song Lan."
Zheng Muyun was taken aback.
A-Wang said, "Auntie also heard from Bai Zheming that the car accident you had on the highway was the same car accident that killed Song Lan's mother and younger brother."
Mentioning the car accident, and how he unexpectedly saved the old tailor, he mentioned...
Although they didn't see it at the time, Zheng Muyun and Bai Jinghan both guessed that the old tailor had rescued Jiang Mingxi from the fire and carried him away.
He probably still wanted to save them, but perhaps the people Bai Zhonghui sent, or the people Jiang Ke's father sent, arrived before he could.
In order to escape, he sent the children he rescued to an orphanage...
These are just speculations.
What truly matters is --
" Song Lan was pushed off the car by his mother, who wanted to kill him. However, the old tailor who had been hired to do the dirty work regretted his decision and managed to brake in time. Song Lan survived, but his mother died on the spot."
" Song Lan was greatly affected at that time."
"He attempted suicide by jumping into the river behind the orphanage; that's when he encountered the Xiaoxi."
A three- or four-year-old toddler, and a teenager around ten years old.
They've both lost their mothers.
One cried, saying he wanted his mother; the other looked at the river and wanted to die.
The one who wanted to die last picked up a stone and gave it to the crying child, saying, "These are the stars in the sky. The stars in the sky are all mothers. If you take this, you can find your mother."
The crying child clutched the "Mommy" sign, his words muffled, "Then you have to promise me."
To reassure the little one, the man who had attempted suicide temporarily decided against it. After all, if he died, there would be no one to reassure the crying child, and he was afraid the child would cry himself to death. "I promise," he said, "I'll definitely find him, or I'll become your mother."
Life would have continued like this.
But Bai Zhonghui's men found the orphanage, kidnapped Jiang Mingxi, and threw him into the river behind it to drown him.
A-Wang risked his life to save her, and Jiang Mingxi stayed in the hospital for a long time.
So long that Song Lan, completely unaware of everything, waited in vain for the child who was looking for his mother. Unable to find solace from her companions, she turned and committed suicide.
What followed were a few years of chaos and turmoil within the Song Family.
Song Lan's mental state fluctuates.
Once his mental state had completely stabilized, he no longer remembered the child who had cried and looked for his mother.
We met again.
This happened after Jiang Mingxi was adopted and abused.
She was crying her heart out when she happened to run into Song Lan in the alleyway in front of Mingde High School.
That time, it was A-Wang who took Jiang Mingxi out to play.
He wanted to make Jiang Mingxi happy.
As a result, while he was buying ice cream, he turned around and saw Jiang Mingxi and Song Lan sitting side by side in the alley.
Song Lan leaned against the wall, and Jiang Mingxi leaned against Song Lan, the two of them crying loudly.
The past was bizarre and heavy. A-Wang sighed heavily, a slight smile appearing on his lips. "When we met again, Song Lan said that if Xiaoxi couldn't find her mother, he would become Xiaoxi's mother."
Song Lan never received his mother's love, so he knows what children want.
"It's like he's raising another version of himself; he gave Xiaoxi everything he lacked and wanted back then."
During that time, Xiaoxi ran to the gate of the high school every day.
"He even sneaked in to watch other people play ball."
"I ran outside someone's classroom and secretly watched them have class."
" Xiaoxi has a treasure chest containing almost everything that Song Lan gave him back then."
Unfortunately, his memory became confused later, and he mistook Song Lan for his high school classmate.
