When I came back from dinner, it was past nine thirty in the evening.

Usually at this time, Mengmeng had already fallen asleep, but today, because she was too excited, the little girl's eyes were bright, and she kept chattering non-stop.

In fact, in Xu Xiaoai's heart, she didn't want Mengmeng to get too close to that man, after all, her relationship with that man... really couldn't be said or seen.

Mengmeng has always been so cute and smart that it makes people feel distressed.

The little guy is usually very considerate of himself and rarely makes unreasonable demands, let alone as happy as he is now, so Xu Xiaoai resisted the thought of reprimanding his daughter, and just responded in a low voice.

The mother and daughter returned to the community holding hands. As soon as they got out of the elevator, they saw the middle-aged male landlord anxiously waiting at the door of their rental house.

"Hello, Uncle Ma!" Mengmeng immediately greeted the landlord politely.

Landlord Ma said "hmmm" twice, avoiding the little girl's beautiful big eyes that flickered, and said to Xu Xiaoai complaining, "Miss Xu, I have called so many times and you still haven't answered..."

Xu Xiaoai let out an "ah" and quickly went to find her bag, but she couldn't find her phone...

Landlord Ma continued, "Miss Xu, the main reason I came to you in such a hurry is to tell you that I will not rent this house to you...you have to move out tonight."

… what

Xu Xiaoai opened her eyes wide.

"Mr. Landlord, why is this? The rental contract I signed with you...doesn't it expire at the end of the month? And I told you a few days ago that I would renew the lease, and you promised to come over to me in a few days Sign the contract…”

"Miss Xu!" the landlord interrupted her and said, "A few days ago was a few days ago, but the situation is different now. I won't hide it from you, it's because someone bought my house at a high price, so I didn't Fazi renews your contract... and the buyer is moving in tomorrow, so you have to go tonight! Look... I'll have to clean the house all night after you're gone!"

As he spoke, the landlord added another sentence, "The contract I signed with you just expires today..."

Xu Xiaoai was a little angry, "Then you didn't tell me in advance! I took the child with me, and it's almost ten o'clock at night now, where do you want us mother and daughter to move?"

The landlord felt guilty, "I, didn't I call you? You didn't answer..."

Xu Xiaoai frowned coldly.

She took out the key and opened the door, and said to the landlord, "...I'll tell you the truth, I will move, but I will definitely move after I find the house! If you dare to change the lock without authorization? I don't mind putting this something big..."

After speaking, she led Mengmeng into the house, and closed the door with a "bang".

The landlord was taken aback, "Hey! You still..."

Xu Xiaoai was so angry that she leaned against the door and vaguely heard the landlord standing in the corridor and making a phone call.

"...Hello? Yes, yes, I'm... yes, it's me! I'm so sorry, I told my tenant to move right away, but she won't... Ah? What? What... Oh, no, that's not it … Please let me explain…”

Landlord|Suddenly cursed something in a low voice, and left in a hurry.

Xu Xiaoai took a deep breath, and another deep breath...

Mengmeng was very disturbed, and asked with her small face up, "Mum, Uncle Ma is so fierce... Is he going to drive us away? Isn't this house ours? Why do we have to live in someone else's house..."

Xu Xiaoai stared at her daughter, feeling a little distressed.

"... Mengmeng, let's, let's find a beautiful house again, shall we?" She squatted down and said to her daughter softly, "Mommy will work hard to make money. In the future, we will buy a house of our own. ... Mommy has decorated Mengmeng's room beautifully... okay?"

Mengmeng nodded vigorously, "Mengmeng helps Mommy make money together!"

Seeing the little girl's serious appearance, Xu Xiaoai couldn't help laughing.

Quickly took a bath for her daughter and put her back to sleep... Xu Xiaoai felt depressed, so she went to the back of the closet to find a pack of cigarettes, and sat on the small bench on the balcony, smoking one after another. .

Suddenly someone knocked on the door outside.

Xu Xiaoai was taken aback.

Although it has been three years since she moved to City C, her interpersonal relationship is simple, and it hasn't reached the point where people come to her in the middle of the night.

She stubbed out the cigarette butt, and walked over quickly—Mengmeng was already asleep, and she didn't want to wake her daughter up.

Once the door opens...

Lu Zhijun was standing at the door of her house panting heavily.

"...Xiao Ai? Hey! Xiao Ai, don't close the door... Xiao Ai! Listen to me, it's not what you think, Mr. Ma misunderstood me, my intention is definitely not to drive you away... In fact, I, I It’s just that I don’t want you to be in a wandering environment with your children all the time... I bought this house because I wanted to transfer it to you... "

Xu Xiaoai looked coldly at Lu Zhijun who was standing in front of him with a distraught expression on his face.

Seeing her not speaking for a long time, Lu Zhijun was a little embarrassed.

"Um... Mengmeng, she, is she asleep?" He asked uneasily.

Xu Xiaoai continued to stare at him coldly.

Looking at her beautiful and fair face, Lu Zhijun plucked up his courage and said, "Xiaoai... I, I hope you can give me another chance. After all these years, I, I have never let you go... Let's say we are together In those years, in fact, there were actually good times... "

"boom!"

Xu Xiaoai closed the door directly.

Lu Zhijun smiled wryly.

Between him and Bai Meimei, Xiao Ai was indeed later.

But after having Xiao Ai, he realized... There is no woman like Xiao Ai who loves madly and completely without reservation. Hate is also hateful, there is no room for maneuver.

But on the one hand is his girlfriend who has been dating for several years, and on the other is his newly married beautiful wife... To be honest, he really can't let go of both.

Later, Xiaoai left him...

It wasn't until she left that Lu Zhijun knew that he couldn't do without her.

Days and nights after losing her, he missed her all the time.

In fact, Lu Zhijun understands Xiao Ai's character very well - once she has made a decision, she will not turn back even if her head is broken.

But he still wanted to try.

Because Mengmeng is his and Xiaoai's child, for the sake of the child, maybe she will regress and tolerate a little bit

Lu Zhijun made up his mind.

As long as she turns around...he will definitely treat her like a jewel, and will never let her be wronged again in this life!

Lu Zhijun stared blankly at the door until his legs felt sore, and then he walked away step by step.

Xu Xiaoai, who was only one door away from Lu Zhijun, was distraught.

Earlier, she thought that even if the landlord kicked her out, she would have to wait until she found a new place to move out. But if this house has already been bought by Lu Zhijun...then she'd better move, overnight!

Xu Xiaoai started to pack her luggage overnight.

Early the next morning, when Mengmeng woke up, she couldn't help but look at the big and small bags in the room, her eyes widened.

"Mommy? What are you doing..."

While helping her daughter dress and comb her hair, Xu Xiaoai said, "Shall we move out today? Mommy promises that when we pick up Mengmeng from the kindergarten in the afternoon, we will definitely live in a beautiful house..."

Mengmeng pursed her lips tightly, without saying a word.

Xu Xiaoai sighed slightly.

Sending Mengmeng to the kindergarten, Xu Xiaoai did not go to Hanguang, but returned home, first moved the luggage one by one to the chain hotel next to the community, and entrusted the door key to Aunt Zhang next door, and then I started wandering around, hoping to find a suitable rental house.

But in a hurry, where can I find a house with a suitable location and a moderate price

At four o'clock in the afternoon, Xu Xiaoai dragged his tired feet to pick up Mengmeng from the kindergarten. The mother and daughter were sitting in the fast food restaurant, eating noodles one by one.

Because she was afraid that Lu Zhijun would also be wandering around, Xu Xiaoai chose a relatively remote fast food restaurant.

"Mum, these noodles are so difficult to make... even worse than the noodles you cooked!" Mengmeng pouted her mouth, rolled up the noodles with chopsticks sullenly, stuffed them into her mouth to chew, and added after two mouthfuls, " … It’s worse than the noodles in our kindergarten!”

Xu Xiaoai stared at the little girl.

She doesn't know how to cook, she usually cooks at home, at most she scrambles an egg and cooks some noodles...

But no matter what, at least the rental house has all the pots, stoves and pans. Even if Xu Xiaoai is not good at cooking, three meals a day are still on time and stable.

Perhaps it was because the noodles didn't suit the taste, so Xu Xiaoai didn't eat much.

After eating a few casual bites, the mother and daughter went to the chain hotel and returned to the room.

The result of not eating well is that both mother and daughter are hungry before bedtime.

Of course Xu Xiaoai didn't dare to let Mengmeng go out to find food by herself when she was alone in the hotel, so she led her daughter downstairs.

There is a night market at the entrance of the community, but it is also lively.

Mengmeng clamored to eat kebabs, but Xu Xiaoai was a little worried about being unhygienic, and finally bought a marinated egg for her daughter, and she bought a roasted sweet potato...

The braised eggs might not taste good yet, Mengmeng began to complain after taking two bites.

A black car stopped slowly in front of them.

The car window rolled down slowly, and the man in black was silent, looking coldly at the mother and daughter standing by the roadside, each holding a plastic bag, wolfing down something.

"Daddy?"

Mengmeng suddenly yelled in surprise, "Daddy Dabi! Mommy... Dabi is here to pick us up!"

Xu Xiaoai turned her head, and sure enough, she saw Jay Chou sitting in the car.

She hesitated for a moment. After all, she was greedy for the soft, glutinous and sweet golden-yellow baked sweet potato in her hand. She couldn't help but ate two more bites before throwing the plastic bag into the trash can...

At this moment, Mengmeng had already run to the man's side, holding the car window and tiptoeing, staring at the man with a pair of big eyes that resembled Xu Xiaoai's.

"Dad! We're moving... The landlord, Uncle Ma, is so fierce. He got into an argument with Mommy, so we had to move..." Little Lolita's voice was soft and delicate, so sweet that it made people fall in love.

The man frowned.

"But we have no place to go, so we have to live in a hotel... Mommy can't even cook..."

"Mengmeng!" Xu Xiaoai stopped the little guy in time, gave a drink decisively, and then carried the little guy behind her like a piggy.

This kid doesn't know what's wrong, he seems to be very close to Jay Chou...

"Director Zhou, I'm sorry I didn't go to the company today... Well, my cell phone disappeared, and I couldn't make a call..." Xu Xiaoai said a few words uncomfortably.

The man handed something out.

When Xu Xiaoai saw it, it was her mobile phone!

Could it be...

Missed it in his car last night

"Thank you!" Xu Xiaoai took the phone and said to the man.

After thinking about it, she added, "...ah, yes, maybe I will ask for a few days off in the next few days..."

Mengmeng ran out from behind Xu Xiaoai, passed Xu Xiaoai, tiptoed to Jay Chou's car window again, and said coquettishly, "Daddy! Mengmeng is not full yet, Mengmeng wants to eat meat Meatballs! Meatballs dipped in tomato sauce…”

The man stared at the little girl.

For some reason, this child seemed to have a special affinity with him.

I didn't know what she ate just now, the white and beautiful cute apple's face was stained with sauce marks, it looked pleasing and...

It also makes people feel a little distressed.

He pointed at the little girl at the car door next to him by accident.

Mengmeng cheered and ran towards the front of the car...

"... When I'm done here, I'll join the company to go to work... Hey! Mengmeng!" Xu Xiaoai saw her daughter running away after speaking halfway, and she was so frightened that she quickly chased after her.

When she got around to the other end of the car, the door had already been opened, and Mengmeng had already consciously climbed into the back seat of the car.

"Come down, Mengmeng!" Xu Xiaoai said unhappily.

The little girl looked at Mommy's face, and called out pitifully, "... Daddy?"

The man said, "I haven't eaten yet, you can eat with me."

"Now it was late… "

Eat it yourself!

However, she couldn't say the second half of the sentence.

Because the man's cold eyes have scanned over...

Xu Xiaoai looked at Mengmeng who looked expectant, and had to compromise and got into the car.
