When Jing Ning heard this, she burst into tears. She could not believe that her mother was about to leave her.
“Don’t cry, child, don’t cry.”
Mother Jing heard her daughter’s crying. At the last moment, she stammered these words from her throat.
When Jing Ning heard her mother’s voice, she quickly ran over and surrounded the bed. She stretched out her hands and tightly held her mother’s old and shriveled palms.
“Child, this day will come sooner or later. Your mother won’t be able to accompany you forever. These past few years, your brother has been doing business outside, so you’ve been staying in the shop to accompany me. You’ve missed the age to enter the school.”
Jing Ning’s mother coughed as she spoke. Even though the people around her tried their best to stop her, she still wanted to finish what she wanted to say.
“I know that you’ve always liked to sing and dance. In the past, because of my illness, you guys were dragged down. Now, our family has the financial conditions. I hope that you can pursue your own dreams…”
Jing Ning’s mother shook her daughter’s hand with all her strength. Her eyes were filled with fervent hope.
“Don’t worry, I will definitely do it. I will definitely fulfill my dream. I will definitely become the best singer and dancer…”
Jing Ning sobbed as he held his mother’s hand as if she wanted to pass all her strength to her mother. If she did that, his mother wouldn’t leave.
After speaking to Jing Ning, his mother called Jing Yu over, wanting to instruct him on other things.
However, an ‘uninvited guest’ came at the door.
“Jing Yu!”
Jiang Meng called out the person’s name as soon as she entered the room, but she discovered that Yun Xi was also present. Moreover, everyone was surrounding the bed in the room.
Jing Yu naturally had no time to care about Jiang Meng’s existence. Although Yun Xi and this little girl had some conflicts, it was not a deep grudge after all. Yun Xi hurriedly pulled her aside and explained the whole story.
“What?!”
Jiang Meng also noticed that Jing Yu was gone after only half of school that day. She had always felt that something bad had happened, so she took advantage of the holiday to rush to the pharmacy. She did not expect to see such a side.
This was the first time she faced the parting of life and death in the human world, so she did not know what to say. She just stood at the side and stared at the youth in her eyes. She wanted to give him a warm and powerful hug, but she did not know what identity she should use!
“Child, I know what you’re thinking, but I’ve also inquired about some things very clearly. Let’s not cling to those things that don’t belong to us in the first place.”
Jing Yu’s mother was obviously referring to Yun Xi, but because the person involved was present, she could only speak indirectly.
“Mother hopes that after I leave, you’ll find a woman who understands you and will stay by your side. Find a woman who loves you wholeheartedly. You’re too domineering, child. You’ve never known how to take good care of yourself. Mother hopes that there’s a woman who can care for you on my behalf…”
After taking a deep breath and saying this, Mother Jing started coughing violently again.
“Auntie, don’t worry. I will take good care of Jing Yu on your behalf. I am his girlfriend. You can ask everyone in our school about this, including my parents. Everyone knows.”
Jiang Meng stood in the outermost area, but she still heard Jing Jia’s mother’s soft voice. Then, she quickly pushed aside the crowd in front of her and ran to the front, she held Mother Jing’s hand and said these words.
Jing Yu looked at Jiang Meng in surprise, not knowing why she had appeared here. The light in his eyes was filled with surprise, disbelief, and a little gratitude. It was very complicated, but he could not explain it clearly.
The Jing family’s mother carefully looked at Jiang Meng, then looked at her son’s expression, and smiled in relief.
She believed that this girl named Jiang Meng was not lying.
“I have nothing to give you. This silver bracelet has been passed down from generation to generation in our family. It’s not particularly valuable. I hope you don’t mind.”
Jing Yu’s mother touched a sparkling silver bracelet on her arm and asked her son to help take it off and put it on Jiang Meng’s hand.
Jing Yu did not refuse. Jiang Meng smiled happily.
She did not like the value of this bracelet, but the inheritance of this bracelet. At the same time, it was more like a promise. She swore in her heart that she would protect the promise she made with Jing Yu’s mother.
