"In the future?" Zhao Zifei interrupted Mrs. Duan impatiently, "This has already happened, how can you expect me to believe what you said in the future?"
From childhood to adulthood, Zhao Zifei lived under the arrangements of Mrs. Duan.
He originally thought that by following his mother, he would get the bright future of his dreams sooner or later, but now it seems that it is all fake!
The mother was just a loser who talked a lot. Otherwise, why could the little Zhao family in her mouth be able to drive them out
"You really disappoint me! You are so short-sighted, I'm afraid it's hard to achieve success. It seems that all my teachings to you over the years have been in vain."
Mrs. Duan's eyes were slightly cold, and there was no warmth in her eyes when she looked at Zhao Zifei, only cold calculation.
Zhao Zifei felt an unspeakable sadness in his heart.
He has been working hard to follow his mother's requirements since he was a child.
But every time, when he shows a little bit of slackness, his mother will look at him with this look, as if he is not her son, but just an object that can be replaced at any time.
Gradually, a hint of rebellion emerged in his heart.
He really wanted to see if she would leave him and abandon him after he completely disappointed his mother.
If he admitted his mistake, he would almost slip out of his mouth out of habit, but this time he pursed his lips tightly.
He's had enough!
"In that case, I won't be an eyesore in front of Mrs. Duan. Thank you for your careful teachings over the years, making me a loser dog who has accomplished nothing!"
He was sarcastic and turned around.
"Little beast, come back here!"
Mrs. Duan's roar came from behind, but it strengthened Zhao Zifei's steps.
Soon, the person left the yard and disappeared.
Mrs. Duan, who was left alone in the room, had a ferocious look on her face. After barely holding on for a long time, she slapped the table in front of her with her palm.
With a "boom", the table, which four or five grown men could hardly move, fell apart into pieces.
Despite this, Mrs. Duan still felt that there was nowhere to vent the anger in her heart.
"How dare you! How dare you disobey me!"
There was a malicious light in her eyes.
That crazy look didn't look like a mother who was mad at her son, but more like an enemy.
Soon, someone entered the house.
He knelt on the ground without raising his head, just quietly listening to her orders.
"Catch the young master and lock him in the backyard. He is not allowed to go anywhere!"
Zhao Zifei was born in her tenth month of pregnancy and should belong to her!
He absolutely cannot disobey her, nor can he disobey himself like this.
She wanted to teach this disobedient child a lesson and let him know that no one in the world would be closer to him than her!
The servant left to find someone.
After Mrs. Duan took a few deep breaths, her expression gradually returned to normal.
She can teach her children if they are disobedient, just like in the past ten years or so, she has made Zhao Zifei what she wants bit by bit.
But what she didn't expect was that just a trip to Zhao's house would cause their mother and son to almost fall apart, which made her a little unhappy.
It seemed that her education to Zhao Zifei was still lacking. If Zifei knew how heavy his mission was and how glorious his future would be, he would probably understand her painstaking efforts.
Think of this
, she couldn't help but curve the corners of her mouth slightly.
"Soon, soon!"
She had endured it for more than ten years and spent almost half of her life on it, just to achieve that goal.
Now, she can finally see a little light.
There was some fanatical expectation in her eyes, like a raging fire, burning away all her reason.
"Miss, the master and madam have already arranged their arrangements. Do you want to go over and take a look?"
A respectful voice appeared, interrupting her thoughts.
Mrs. Duan was a little dissatisfied, but there was nothing she could do about it. After all, the Duan family was just a small, low-class family, and the people they used were stupid and vulgar.
But soon, the Duan family will completely change its appearance, and her efforts to support the Duan family all these years will not be in vain.
"I'm going to see them. Do what you should do. Remember not to let outsiders in these days, and you don't want to go to the courtyard with the master and his wife."
The servant's head dropped lower.
After Mrs. Duan left, he began to tremble uncontrollably.
It's so terrible here...
Over at the Zhao family, Lin Mengya finally met Zhao Ziyan again.
But what surprised her was that Zhao Ziyan was actually very attached to Huo Xiao!
"It's fate. When we went to rescue Ziyan, he happened to be unconscious. Huo Xiao was the one who carried him out, but after he woke up, he probably felt that Xiao'er had saved him, so he kept clinging to Huo Xiao. .”
Aunt Fang was quite happy when she said it.
Whether it was her biological child or her adopted son, he was always at the heart of her heart. In fact, he was quite afraid before, and the two children could not accept each other.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Ziyan was very interested in this brother who suddenly appeared.
No one could coax him last night, he had to sleep with Huo Xiao.
And when he saw others, he immediately shrank behind Huo Xiao, only half of his face was exposed, his big eyes looked at others timidly, and his two small hands tightly grasped Huo Xiao's sleeves.
"Don't be afraid. Do you still remember this sister? She was the one who cured you when you were sick before."
Huo Xiao spoke to him patiently, pointed at Lin Mengya and asked him in a low voice.
Originally, he had a bad impression of Zhao Ziyan.
But his mother also said that Zhao Ziyan had changed a lot now, and when they found him, Zhao Ziyan was not in a good condition, which made him feel sympathy.
After Zhao Ziyan glanced at Lin Mengya, he quickly hid behind him.
Huo Xiao had no choice but to turn around, hold his hand and coax patiently: "Do you remember what brother told you? You have to be good and don't let mother worry."
Zhao Ziyan shrank his neck, looked at Huo Xiao trustingly and nodded.
Seeing his appearance, Huo Xiao sighed helplessly and touched the top of his head with his big hand.
"Don't be afraid. After we go home, no one will bully you again, and no one will hit you again. I will take you over and let the sister check if you are okay?"
Zhao Ziyan nodded obediently, and then firmly held Huo Xiao's big hand.
Lin Mengya saw some clues, ordered people to clean up the house, and ordered some sweet medicinal scent to relax her body.
Because Xiao Fubao and Mo Yan's things were all in one place, the whole house looked warm and full of childlike interest.
Zhao Ziyan was a little resistant at first, but under Huo Xiao's gentle yet firm attitude, he obediently entered the inner room.
A pair of big eyes looked everywhere, and the whole person was close to Huo Xiao's side, as if there was some man-eating beast in the room.
But after seeing the toys of Xiao Moyan and his sister, his eyes widened and he stared at those things intently.
Lin Mengya saw this and calmly picked up an extra small ball.
Because my brothers are so generous when giving gifts, there are often duplicate things.
Xiao Fubao and Mo Yan already had them, so she originally planned to give the rest to other children.
"If you like this, can I give it to you?"
This is a delicate little takraw ball with various colored silks and small bells on it, so the two babies quite like it.
Zhao Ziyan's eyes lit up instantly, but he still looked at Huo Xiao subconsciously, with bright expectation in his eyes.
Huo Xiao touched his hand again and coaxed: "If you like it, accept it, but you have to say thank you to sister."
But Zhao Ziyan still didn't dare to let go of his big hand, so he could only hold his hand and tentatively walk in the direction of Lin Mengya.
Until, he can reach the ball.
The ball feels good to the touch, and you can hear the crisp bell sound when you shake it a little.
He liked it so much that he took it with both hands.
"Thank you!" He said two words vaguely, and quickly backed away towards Huo Xiao with the ball in his arms. After that, he immediately grabbed Huo Xiao's hand, and held the ball in Huo Xiao's hand. He shook his head with a bright smile on his face.
"You did a good job." Huo Xiao's heart softened and he praised Zhao Ziyan in a low voice.
Zhao Ziyan continued to play with his little ball with a smile, shaking it gently by his ear from time to time, immersed in his own world.
Huo Xiao placed him on a chair by the window.
There is sunlight there and at the same time you can see yourself at a glance.
"Did he already look like this when you found him?"
Lin Mengya gave Huo Xiao a cup of tea and asked softly.
"Yes." Huo Xiao nodded and told Lin Mengya everything that happened at that time.
"When I sneaked into Duan's house with my men, I happened to encounter him wandering in the backyard. However, his condition was not very good at the time, so I knocked him unconscious and took him out."
Lin Mengya lowered her eyes, "So, you lied to Aunt Fang?"
Otherwise, Aunt Fang wouldn't have mentioned it at all in the letter, just saying that Zhao Ziyan was frightened and that was why something was not good.
When Huo Xiaoxiang saw the situation at that time, he clenched his fists involuntarily.
"I just don't want my mother to be too sad. After all, Zhao Ziyan is the child she raised. If he knew what happened to Ziyan, I'm afraid she would go crazy."
Lin Mengya didn't ask.
Fortunately, she was good at coaxing children. She took a piece of cheese cake and coaxed Zhao Ziyan to sit in front of her obediently.
"Sister wants to check your body."
She looked at Zhao Ziyan and said in a gentle tone: "Sister will hold your hand in a while, and brother will be by your side. If you feel any pain, just squeeze your sister's hand, okay?"
Probably because of the small balls and cheese cake, Zhao Ziyan was no longer as wary of Lin Mengya as before.
They entered the inner room, but before Lin Mengya could speak, Zhao Ziyan automatically climbed onto the bed and untied his clothes.
When Huo Xiao saw this scene, his fists clenched loudly.
Those beasts!
