Besides, he was confident that no one on the West Coast dared to provoke him. Even if they were bad guys, so what? If they dared to harm his mother, he would make them live a life worse than death.
However, listening to the laziness and relaxation in his mother's voice in the bedroom, White also felt a little tired for some reason.
"After this, please give me some acupuncture. I haven't been in a good mental state recently. I'll wait for you in the study."
"Okay." Jiang Lu responded.
When the footsteps outside the door faded away, Mrs. White, who was about to cry, finally let go of her hands that were covering her mouth.
"Can't bear it anymore?"
Jiang Lu smiled: "Do you feel younger?"
"I...I wouldn't be like this when I was young...ok?!"
"Shh, don't talk, feel it with your heart..."
After a while.
Jiang Lu sat at the head of the bed, lit a cigarette comfortably, reached out and rubbed Mrs. White's head, and asked, "By the way, my attention was not on him just now. What did he say before he left?"
Mrs. White raised her head and reached out to lift her long golden hair that fell in front of her forehead. "He asked you to give him acupuncture to relax him."
"?" Jiang Lu realized that something was wrong: "Then how should I answer?"
"Say yes."
"Haha, send it!"
......
Jiang Lu doesn't know acupuncture.
He only practices medicine vigorously.
This is where the problem lies.
When Mrs. White brought Jiang Lu to the study, he had only a box of pins found in the bedroom, which Mrs. White used when she worked in a tailor shop when she was still very poor.
Although Mrs. White had questioned whether this thing would kill her precious son, Jiang Lu insisted that as a Chinese, acupuncture was a compulsory course that he had learned in elementary school.
"Believe me, my teacher is a legendary acupuncture master. She was even used as a prototype by some writers and written into novels, becoming an important character."
"Your teacher is..."
"Mama Rong."
Mrs. White certainly didn't know the meaning of Mammy, and Jiang Lu explained that this was our Chinese people's own Nightingale.
So Mrs. White put her doubts to rest.
There is no doubt that Rong Mama must be a true legend!
"Hello, Mr. White." Jiang Lu smiled at White.
The latter did not respond, but looked at Jiang Lu calmly, and then turned his gaze to his mother.
Mrs. White was a little nervous.
Unexpectedly, White suddenly smiled with relief.
"Mother, you look great. Your face has become rosier after the acupuncture. You exude charm. I'm sure this gentleman must have superb skills."
"Hmm... Yeah." Mrs. White smiled sweetly.
"Then mother, you should go back and rest first."
"Huh? Don't I have to watch here?" Mrs. White was obviously reluctant to leave.
She had something on her mind and was hesitating about how to tell her son about the somewhat absurd but magical and wonderful relationship between her and Jiang Lu, which was like a fairy tale.
"Need not."
White waved to her: "Go back first, I will talk to you later."
His tone left no room for doubt, and even Mrs. White, his mother, found it difficult to refuse for a moment.
"Ok."
"And please close the door, thank you."
boom.
During the whole process, Jiang Lu kept smiling and did not have any special reaction.
In front of White, he took out a lighter and began to sterilize the pins, and asked casually:
"Mr. White, do you have health insurance?"
"Here, health insurance is just a commercial scam, and I certainly don't need that kind of thing."
White showed a meaningful smile: "Does your charge have to do with whether I have medical insurance?"
Jiang Lu shook his head: "Then you'd better get a tetanus shot."
"?"
However, White did not think too much about this sentence, after all, he did not really intend to experience acupuncture.
He reached out and held Jiang Lu's hand, who was carefully burning the needle tip red: "Don't worry, I have some questions I want to ask you first."
"what?"
"What is your relationship to my mother?"
White looked at Jiang Lu calmly, but the latter clearly felt a silent threat.
"Why do you ask that?" Jiang Lu remained calm, as if he didn't understand what White was saying at all.
White sighed, leaned back in his chair, and began to talk to himself:
"My mother always felt that everything could be hidden from me, but many times I just used this method to make her feel that she could still handle me, just like when I was a child. You know, a mother always needs some physical skills. For the majesty of the elders, I did this very well.
But if I just move my fingers a little, the people below will tell me everything. You can't hide anything from me.
This was the first time my mother brought anyone to the third floor, and she always knew the rules, so I became suspicious at that time.
How much time has passed since I spoke to you and now you are sitting in front of me? Maybe half an hour?
Anyway, this was enough for me to figure out where you and my mother went after you got out of Shark.
You guys went to the Winston Hotel for a night...right?"
What responded to him was Jiang Lu's disdainful smile.
He was certain that White had at most found out his and Mrs. White's itinerary, and there was no way he could know anything else.
The reason is simple. If a normal person really understood everything, he would have almost reached the stage of drawing guns and dueling.
So although I don't know why he brought up this topic so directly, it was definitely a test to a large extent.
In that case, we have to do something big!
"What are you laughing at?" White asked.
"You think you know everything, but you are totally wrong!"
Jiang Lu put down the pin, clasped his index fingers together, leaned on the table, and looked at White without showing any fear:
"Do you remember the Asian senior on the basketball team who always looked after you in elementary school? He left the West Coast after graduation and you never saw him again. Do you remember?"
"How do you know?" For the first time, White's usually calm face showed an expression of surprise.
This was of course what Mrs. White told Jiang Lu. These things that were useless in the eyes of the sword-wielder were now useful.
Jiang Lu continued to ask: "When you were a child, you were bitten by a dog. He sent you back home and took you to eat cheese pizza for the first time. Then you found out that you were allergic to cheese, and..."
"Wait!" White was stunned: "How do you know so clearly, even I..."
"Even you have forgotten a little, right?" Jiang Lu pretended to be disappointed because he knew he didn't remember.
White realized something: "Could it be that you..."
"Yes! I am the big brother who always took care of you back then!"
Jiang Lu slammed the table: "Since that time, your mother and I have fallen in love at first sight. I promised that I would marry her when I grow up. Now, it's time to fulfill my promise."
"Your mother and I...were in pure love!!"
Amid White's shock, Jiang Lu shouted out these words, and then squeezed out two lines of tears at the right time.
Pure love, childhood sweetheart plus a gift from heaven, this is already...no reason to lose!
Chapter 77: A Little Version Shock for Mrs. White
"No...something's wrong!"
White always felt that something was wrong.
"I was in primary school then, how old were you, middle school? How could my mother..."
"Steamed buns? Do you look down on sister-brother relationships?"
Jiang Lu raised an eyebrow.
White's mind is in a mess now.
He was indeed very angry when he learned that his mother stayed out all night with a young man.
However, what made him angry was not that his mother, who had been single for many years, was finding a partner, but that she had to keep it secret from him.
He had just asked someone to investigate Jiang Lu, but found nothing. It was as if this person appeared out of thin air, which made him certain that his mother must have made some arrangements.
In fact, after his career stabilized, he considered finding a partner for his mother, but his mother always refused for various reasons.
White did not think much about it at the time, because when he was young, Mrs. White had been alone because she was worried that the new family after remarriage would affect White's growth. He just thought that his mother was used to this kind of life.
It was not until now that he realized that, just as Jiang Lu said, he thought he was in control of everything, but in fact he knew nothing at all. He had always ignored his mother's feelings and had not fulfilled his responsibilities as a son.
“I see…So that’s how it is.”
White muttered to himself in a trance, and he finally understood.
It’s not that my mother doesn’t want to find a partner, but that she has already found one.
Now it all made sense.
