“Yes.” Nico continued, “Back then, your mother painted beautifully. I specially sent someone to Xia Nation to invite her to my country, to take part in an exhibition. At the time, your mother was very arrogant and rejected my invitation. I had no choice but to fly here from England personally.” Nico smiled. “Your mother was very beautiful and had a unique approach to painting. It was also because of her that I was inspired to come to Xia Nation University as an exchange student for a year. Thanks to your mother, I met the love of my life here.”
Mu Xichen actually didn’t have much of an impression of his mother.
It could even be said that he felt no sense of attachment to his mother.
But human beings are different from plants and trees, they have blood ties to their parents.
So even though he had never seen Mo Qingshen, nor had he ever known maternal love, or experienced a day of breastfeeding,
he couldn’t help but be moved by Nico’s words about his mother.
So, this was what his mother was like.
It was the first time he had heard that Mo Qingshen painted.
And she must have been quite accomplished to have made Nico travel thousands of miles to Xia Nation.
However, all these years, no one had mentioned this.
Li Beinian turned around and glanced at Mu Xichen. He moved his lips but did not speak.
Will smiled. “Miss Bei and Miss Mo were also very good friends. At that time, besides Miss Tang, Miss Mo was Miss Bei’s only other close friend.”
“Miss Tang?”
“Yes, her name was Tang Ge and she was Miss Bei’s good friend… a very skinny girl, but very tall. Well… she was slightly taller than me, she must have been about 180cm.” Will couldn’t help but chuckle. “Miss Bei’s friends all had their own unique characteristics. Although Miss Tang looked awkwardly tall and thin, she had great talent in jewelry design. Nico had even thought of sponsoring Miss Tang to further her studies at the Florence Jewelry Design Academy, but Miss Tang wasn’t agreeable so this matter was put to rest. Miss Mo, on the other hand, had her gifts in artistic attainments. Miss Bei was born with a good voice and sang very well. She’s also a natural dancer. When she performed the Xia Nation dance, she was like a fairy from the heavens… extremely beautiful.”
“Yes.” Nico agreed with a look of reminiscence. He could not hide the tenderness and sadness in his eyes. “She was so perfect. There will never be another Bei Xiaonian in this world. She was as beautiful as a fairy.”
Will was visibly vexed and said, “I’m sorry, Nico.”
“It’s alright,” Nico chuckled. “She lives in my heart.”
The water came to a rolling boil.
Li Beinian poured the liquid into the glass and stared at the rising steam as she thought about Will’s words.
Miss Tang, Miss Tang Ge.
Jewelry design.
1.8 meters.
Tang Xiaoge, 1.8 meters tall… obsessed with jewelry design.
She had even almost made Chi Hailang quit fashion design for jewelry design.
Chi Hailang eventually persevered hard to keep his own course.
Was there a connection between them?
No, extremely thin.
Tang Xiaoge was almost 200 kilograms and was not even close to what one would call thin.
Li Beinian laughed at herself for being overly imaginative, however, she couldn’t help but think deeper into it: Godpa and Godma seemed to have been hiding her true identity.
They all knew, but just like Grandpa, they all chose to keep it under cover.
Why?
Was it just because Bei Xiaonian was pregnant before she was married? Was it too shameful?
