Chapter 3013 Shen Tianyu 413

Jing Hong took out a tissue and went over to wipe Bai Chenxue's tears.

Jing's mother pushed him away, saying with disdain, "That paper is too rough. Xue'er's skin is so delicate, how can you use paper to wipe it?"

She took out a soft handkerchief from her pocket and gently wiped away Bai Chenxue's tears, saying, "Little girl, come often in the future. Auntie will braid your hair and sew you pretty clothes. Auntie likes to do this kind of work, but Xiaohua is a very wild child. I can't even hold her down when I want to comb her hair. Even if I make such pretty clothes, she won't wear them. Her personality of playing with knives and sticks is not suitable for her."

She hugged Bai Chenxue tightly, saying, "Compared to Xiaohua, Auntie feels that Nannan is more like my own daughter."

Bai Chenxue cried uncontrollably.

She thought, if she really was Ling Xue in her previous life, then Jing's mother was probably her mother in her previous life.

In her previous life, Ling Xuefang died young.

The bond between mother and daughter continues in this lifetime.

But she has no memory of her previous life, not even a little bit.

She nestled in her mother's arms, her slender body trembling slightly as she wept.

Jing's mother gently patted her back, "Don't cry, it breaks my heart to see you cry."

Jing Hong said, "Let her cry. Let her cry it out. It will make her feel better."

Jing's mother rolled her eyes at him.

Jing Hong turned around, went to the washroom, filled a basin with warm water, wet a towel, and handed it to Bai Chenxue.

Bai Chenxue took the towel, covered her face, wiped away her tears, and said to Jing's mother with red nose and eyes, "I'm sorry to have made you laugh, Auntie."

Jing's mother said gently, "Auntie loves your personality the most. You're so sweet and adorable. I had two sons in a row and always wanted a daughter. I prayed to the Taoist temple for a daughter every day. I finally gave birth to Xiaohua, but she's a tomboy. She's always waving knives and sticks in the temple and doesn't pay any attention to me. She's closer to her grandfather than to me. I've figured it out. That daughter was born to her grandfather."

Bai Chenxue reached out and hugged her waist.

I really want to call her "Mom".

But she and Jing Hong haven't even broken up yet, and her initiative is just making her a laughing stock.

Between the mother and son, she preferred Jing's mother.

Jing's mother picked up another pair of shoes and handed them to her, saying, "I sewed these shoes too. Try them on and see if they fit."

The shoes have a light blue upper embroidered with a few delicate orchids, and a soft, thick sole.

I can't even imagine how comfortable it would be to wear.

She took off her slippers and slipped her feet into them.

Strange.

Not too big, not too small, just the right size.

She looked at Jing Hong.

This was the first time Jing's mother had met her. These shoes and clothes couldn't be made in a day or two; they would take at least half a month, or even longer, to finish.

Presumably, Jing Hong told her her shoe size and clothing size.

Jing Hong said, "I have sharp eyes; I can tell your shoe size at a glance."

Bai Chenxue understood.

Jing Hong was determined to have her, so he begged his mother to sew clothes and make shoes for her early on.

Wearing new clothes and shoes, she went with Jing Hong to visit the Taoist temple of Master Mao Jun.

He could have taken a shortcut, but Jing Hong refused.

He held Bai Chenxue's hand the whole way, deliberately choosing places with many people. Along the way, there were not only his senior brothers and junior brothers, but also his senior uncles and senior aunts.

He would greet everyone he met and then introduce Bai Chenxue as his girlfriend.

Bai Chenxue was so embarrassed by him that she couldn't even lift her head.

After showing off enough, he finally took her to the Taoist temple of Master Mao Jun.

Master Mao's Taoist temple was located deeper in the mountains, requiring Jing Hong to carry her as they flew.

To prevent disturbance from mortals, Master Mao's Taoist temple is protected by a barrier, allowing only his own people and those with exceptionally high levels of cultivation to enter.

Upon entering Master Mao Jun's Taoist temple, Bai Chenxue immediately felt as if she had entered another space. The air here was fresher, the flowers were more fragrant, the wind was gentler, and even her body felt more energetic.

Jing Hong looked down at her. "Do you like it?"

Bai Chenxue nodded.

Jing Hong said, "If you like me, marry me. If you marry me, you can live in this Taoist temple and cultivate with me and my grandfather."

Bai Chenxue rolled her eyes at him and said with a light reproach, "Dream on."

Jing Hong smiled and glanced at her fingers.

You can't just talk about it all the time; you have to actually buy a ring and propose.

The two walked toward the meditation hall where Master Mao was practicing.

An apprentice came to greet them, saying that more guests were coming today.

Bai Chenxue simply assumed they were believers or pilgrims and didn't take it to heart.

It's perfectly normal for such enlightened masters to have followers and worshippers; outsiders would love to have one.

The two entered the quiet room.

Master Mao sat cross-legged, meditating with his eyes closed.

Jing Hong said, "Grandpa, I brought Xue'er to see you."

Master Mao did not open his eyes.

Bai Chenxue called out, "Hello, Grandpa Mao."

Only then did Master Mao open his eyes and look at her, a smiling expression on his face.

Jing Hong was displeased. "Grandpa, why are you treating us differently?"

Master Mao said with disdain, "I get tired of looking at you all the time. Little Bai is much more refreshing and pleasing to the eye. If Xiao Hua had even a fraction of her looks, she and that boy from the Yuan Qin family would have been a couple long ago."

Bai Chenxue hurriedly said, "Jing Hua is highly skilled, can read people's faces, and can even predict the future. I am ashamed to admit that I am not as good as her."

Master Mao chuckled, “That girl has only learned the basics, how could she possibly read a person’s face? She’s just spouting nonsense, don’t listen to her rubbish.”

Bai Chenxue suddenly realized.

Jing Hua is definitely good at reading people's faces, but her words are only half true and half false. Perhaps some of them are actually traps she's setting for.

Digging a pit for Jing Hong.

This family, from the oldest to the youngest, from the men to the women, are all masters of digging holes.

Just then, a disciple outside said, "Master, the guests have arrived."

Bai Chenxue bowed respectfully, "Since Grandpa Mao has guests, Jing Hong and I will take our leave first."

Master Mao said, "It's alright, it's time for your karmic ties to come to an end."

Upon hearing this, Bai Chenxue's expression changed slightly.

Is it possible?

Before she could think it over properly, she suddenly heard footsteps outside, and there was more than one person.

Then came Shen Tianyu, dressed in white with an ethereal air, and Gu Chufan, who, despite being dressed casually, had a cast on his arm and was using a cane, was still handsome and extraordinary.

The scars on his face were so faint that they were almost invisible at first glance.

Bai Chenxue's heart jumped into her throat.

What a surprise.

She was completely unprepared.

People are usually quite busy when they are in a panic. She instinctively glanced at Gu Chufan, quickly looked away, looked at Jing Hong, then at Mao Junzhen, and finally turned back to Jing Hong.

She was too busy to calm down and use her brain to think.

She braced herself with her right hand on the ground, trying to stand up from the prayer mat and leave the place.

Jing Hong held his hand down.

Jing Hong said, "You are the host, and they are the guests. The host should greet the guests and greet them."

Before she could think too much, Bai Chenxue was being pushed forward by Jing Hong.

She greeted Shen Tianyu: "Young Master Shen."

Shen Tianyu nodded in acknowledgment.

Bai Chenxue then addressed Gu Chufan, saying, "Young Master Chufan."

Gu Chufan looked at her for a few seconds, a smile playing on his lips, "You remind me of someone."

Bai Chenxue's heart was pounding, whether from nervousness or fear that he would think of her and that he would have to fulfill Guo Xu's promise again.

Then we'll fall into an awkward vicious cycle.

Gu Chufan said, "You are just like a female character in an old TV series. You may not have seen that series. It was a TV series that my great-grandmother loved to watch."

Bai Chenxue's tense heart relaxed.

He still doesn't remember her.

It's better not to remember.

It's better not to remember.

He forgot the promise he made to Guoxu, a promise that was good for everyone, including himself.

Jing Hong seemed very interested in what he said, "Which drama? Who does he resemble?"

“Daiyu.” Gu Chufan looked Bai Chenxue up and down. “Hairstyle is similar, clothes are similar, face is similar, and temperament is even more similar.”

Jing Hong reached out and grasped Bai Chenxue's hand, squeezing it tightly.

As if afraid that if she didn't hold on tight enough, she would stand up and run towards Gu Chufan.

He lowered his eyes and said seriously, "Our Xuexue is luckier than her, and I am much more devoted than Jia Baoyu. I will never let her down."
