Su Zhenling turned around and went downstairs alone.
Che Linwan pulled him and wanted to go with him, but he stopped him.
Before going out, he turned to Xiao Lemi who was standing at the door of the room and said in a rare and gentle tone, "Children, go in and sleep."
Lemi looked at him with big innocent eyes.
After another glance at Che Linwan, he silently turned around and walked into the room.
But the door was not closed as before.
A faint gap was left.
While Che Linwan was sitting in the living room waiting uneasily, he saw his phone light up and immediately picked it up.
Su Zhenling, [People are gone. Come down, I have something to ask you.]
Seeing that his car was still intact and had not been violently smashed, Che Linwan couldn't help but have a wry smile on his lips.
"She didn't make things difficult for you, right?"
Che Linwan was a little surprised and looked at Su Zhenling in confusion, but saw a hint of solemnity in his expression.
"You're not good at dealing with people like that. Have you ever thought about what to do?"
"I won't let her take Lemi away."
"Have you ever asked a child what he thinks?"
"Le Mi? She is still young, she doesn't understand..."
Che Linwan paused mid-sentence.
…
The sky was very clear that day. When Che Linwan told Lemi that there was no need for classes, Lemi thought he could go out for an outing.
After all, her father often took her to do things like that before.
Dad is a casual person and doesn't think missing a day or two of class is a big deal.
But Che Linwan was different. She was always very careful and was particularly afraid of making mistakes while raising her baby.
But Che Linwan told her there was no need to go to school.
Then they made dumplings at home.
Then the uncle named Su came.
It's not that Lemi doesn't like his uncle named Su, but this uncle is nothing like his brother Xiaozhi.
If she could choose, she would definitely choose to live with her brother Xiaozhi without considering it.
Che Linwan told her, "The aunt who came that day was my mother."
Lemi looked at her for a while.
"Mom is dead."
"Mom didn't die, she just left."
"Mom is dead. Dad said she would never come back."
That's only assuming your dad is still with you.
But such words were too cruel, and neither Su Zhenling nor Che Linwan could say them out.
A child can only have one parent
What a perverted logical theory this is.
"Do you want Lemi to live with your mother?"
Che Linwan asked cautiously and tentatively.
She was also beating a drum in her heart, and what she was afraid of was the answer she got: "I want my mother!"
That would beat her to pieces.
The atmosphere was unprecedentedly quiet for a while.
Lemi's eyes were red and he said calmly, "I don't know her. She is not my mother. I don't want to go with her..."
Che Linwan went over and hugged her, and Su Zhenling beside him also breathed a sigh of relief.
"Then, how about we go stay at uncle's house?"
Lemi was stunned by this question.
Che Linwan glanced at Su Zhenling apologetically.
This was the consensus reached between the two of them.
Hojo On would attack her for various reasons.
And Su Zhenling had already sensed that Che Linwan was not strong enough to resist that crazy woman.
"She is not... a mother in the usual sense." Su Zhenling explained in a very slow tone, "In fact, Brother De and I have hid part of Cai Jun's identity and true identity from you. He was a spy abroad, and brought The person he entered the business with was his wife.”
This truth is breathtaking.
"Then, I don't know if it's appropriate to ask this. Isn't the matter in Xiaoxia's family related to her?"
Su Zhenling shook his head, "It's hard to say now. But if she wants to push it, it may not be impossible."
Che Linwan quickly sealed up the house, packed the unused furniture, and stuffed other things into the trunk of the car.
When she was about to leave, she suddenly saw a black figure flashing past the corner.
She put Lemi into Su Zhenling's car.
"You go first."
Su Zhenling glanced at her in surprise and helped Lemi buckle her seat belt.
Behind the transferred telephone pole, the person wearing a black jacket and the brim of his hat completely blocking his sight was Xia Mingzhi.
"Are you moving?"
Hearing his voice, Che Linwan's heart suddenly twitched.
Scratchy and cracked.
"I'm just telling you, I don't live in that basement anymore. You don't have to go there anymore."
"He kicked you out?"
Xia Mingzhi didn't say anything, so she asked again, "Do you have a place to live?" She looked back at her apartment building.
"Here's the key, take it. Everything is there, and I'm paying for the water and electricity. You can use it whatever you want."
Seeing that Xia Mingzhi didn't come forward immediately, she explained, "Just treat it as an emergency for you. I know you have many friends, so you may not need them."
"Thank you, Che Linwan."
How should she tell him that he didn't have to thank her, that what she had done was incomparable to what he had done for her.
"You have to be careful!" She warned carefully again.
Xia Mingzhi grabbed her finger.
Che Linwan jerked out without thinking.
A barrier was invisibly raised between the two people's eyes.
"What's wrong?" he asked uncertainly, vaguely impatient.
"Let's just let what happened that time be in the past, okay?"
Che Linwan spoke very quickly, and his heart was beating loudly.
Everything that happened in the past few days and what everyone said to her was fermenting in her heart.
She thought about it seriously. Xia Mingzhi is a very cute intern, straightforward and warm, and has the courage to go through fire and water.
That's his youth, his energy.
She has never been a very energetic person, so she naturally finds people like him dazzling and radiant.
But just like Tang Zu said, no matter how you think about it, it is impossible for her and Xia Mingzhi to be people who can live together.
He has too much to deal with right now.
She was unable to help and was tired of her own troubles.
"Xiaoxia, I'm married." She felt guilty when she mentioned the matter of marriage... "I'm going to move in with Dr. Su, taking Lemi with me. There's one thing I want to remind you, beware of a man named Hojo On. The woman. That person is..."
"How do you know Hojo On!"
"ah?"
"I saw the internal information, the person who reported my father."
Che Linwan's hands began to shake unconsciously.
She stepped back step by step, retreating to the road in the alley, and was almost hit by a speeding electric car.
Xia Mingzhi brought her back in horror, and both of them breathed heavily.
"Can you give me a little more time?"
Che Linwan didn't understand what he said, time? What time? Why give him time.
What is he going to do
"I can sort out everything about me and clean it up. This is why I refuse to agree to my parents leaving. They have raised me until now, and they are kind even if they have no feelings. I want to help them. And Xiyuan... I have never I didn’t know she was still alive, living alone and unknown to the outside world... "
This is not what he should bear at his age.
Che Linwan wanted to hug him and soothe the worry that was so thick in his brows that he couldn't get rid of it.
But I just thought about it in my heart.
Xiaoxia, nice to meet you! Thank you for everything you do.
However, our lives are two parallel lines.
Under the refraction of light, our shadows met, but it was just an illusion.
She raised her head, leaned over lightly, touched the corner of his mouth, and felt the temperature of his tight lips and teeth...
The smile that followed was something Xia Mingzhi was familiar with, the gentle but firm expression that belonged to Dr. Che in the autopsy operating room of WSTI.
His fingers slowly loosened behind her.
"Little intern, don't be too willful. If you really can't beat her, just leave early."
That is impossible!
Xia Mingzhi said silently in his heart that he, Xia Mingzhi, had never intimidated anyone.
I won’t be afraid of anyone in the future.
