Chapter 138: Exposed
In the bitter north wind, it was torn to pieces by tall buildings, making a whimpering sound.
The weather was bitterly cold, and there were not many pedestrians on the roads in the community, as if the incident had not happened.
But it seems that it can only be like forever.
The Chen family has lived here for 20 years, and there are relatives and aliens between neighbors, and Han Jun was once the son-in-law of the Chen family, although he has not been at the door for ten years.
But people have memories, and all they need to remember something is an opportunity.

Chen's house, at the dining table
Pei Youqing is fiddling with the camera, and as a film school student, his daily classes are not just about acting.
They are busy with filming and homework every day, and they must have some understanding of auxiliary work such as photography, recording, and lighting.
When she went upstairs, she did not wait quietly for Zhao Punctual to return, but set up a camera to record everything that happened downstairs after she left.
From the cause and effect of their actions to the fact that the two people who liked to carry the platinum bracelet took the initiative to get into the car and were left, all of them were recorded in the camera.
It is more complete than the video that Zhao Punctual sent to his mobile phone, and the disadvantage is that there is no audio.
There was a click, the door opened, Pei Youqing was shocked, and hurriedly turned off the camera and put it aside.
As soon as the machine was put away, Chen's mother, who was carrying a large bag and a small bag, walked into the house, and she looked around the house with a nervous look, and found no strangers, so she breathed a sigh of relief.
Chen's mother was relieved, but Pei Youqing was nervous, and she vaguely noticed that Chen's mother was very likely to know something.
But she is an outsider, and it is not easy to take the initiative to ask, mainly because there is no Zhao Punctuality, and she doesn't know how to deal with it.
Mother Chen may want to say something, but she opened her mouth but still didn't speak, probably because she felt that Pei Youqing was a stranger after all, and it was not good to talk about certain topics.
Chen's mother just put down the purchased materials, and Chenchen, who was playing with his friends, noticed the return of his grandmother, and he hurriedly ran here: "Grandma, grandma, I met my father just now, he said that he was coming to my birthday party, this is the invitation I prepared for him." โ
Chenchen raised his hands and handed a piece of paper with blue sky, white clouds, grass, and a family of three under the umbrella to Chen's mother, and he looked at his grandmother expectantly behind the back of his hands.
Chenchen is only a seven-year-old child, which is the most innocent age, and in his opinion, his promise to Han Jun is not to tell Ma Ma, which means that he can tell everyone except Ma Ma.
Or, he only knows the word 'promise', but he doesn't know what it means, and he doesn't know the implications of compliance and non-compliance.
Pei Youqing slapped his forehead, even more at a loss.
Chenchen's behavior made her unexpected, but she vaguely felt that having a child open this topic that the two of them avoided at the same time but had to mention after all, was the best solution for now.
Under normal circumstances, the optimal solution is anti-human, and Pei Youqing is ready to meet Chen's mother's anger.
Mother Chen took this 'invitation letter', and she looked at Pei Youqing with a cold breath, "Eight years, he hasn't appeared for eight years, and I don't know the fact that Chenchen is his son." But he showed up on the day you came, and it's hard for me not to suspect that you were in the company with him.
It's obviously that scumbag's fault, let's just don't bother with him, how can he have the face to harass Huimin again. And you, this is aiding and abetting, I admit that we don't have money without him, and we can't provide Chenchen with a rich life.
But our conditions are not bad there, why do you come to disturb our lives. Why are you? โ
Pei Youqing opened her mouth, only to feel that she was full of bitterness, and she still didn't know what to say after all.
"Grandma, don't be sad, Chenchen doesn't want Dad, Chenchen doesn't want it. โ
Mother Chen squatted down, hugged Chenchen into her arms, and said sadly: "That man doesn't accompany Chenchen's father, you will understand when you grow up." โ
Mother Chen pointed to the door and scolded Pei Youqing: "You let me out, you are not welcome in our family." โ
Pei Youqing bowed to Chen's mother and said sincerely: "Auntie, we are very sorry for disturbing your life, I know that we don't have the face to ask for your and uncle's forgiveness."
But I can swear that we really don't have any intention of hurting you, it's just that Han Jun still has a lot of thoughts about Sister Huimin. We were really kind enough to help. โ
"Don't forget?" Chen's mother, who was sarcastic, laughed: "His obsession is to abandon his wife and children?" When he was newly married Yan'er, did he ever think that my daughter would have to go out to work for a living not long after she was confined.
When he was spending all day drinking, did he ever think that my daughter had to go to work in the cold winter and heat, just to earn milk powder money for his son?
Eight years, eight years he hasn't had a phone call. Today, I'm going to hit my grandson's attention, where did he get such a big face. โ
"Auntie, there may be some misunderstanding here. After a pause, Pei Youqing didn't wait for Chen's mother to speak, and said directly: "I'll tell you a story, as long as you still insist on your current attitude after listening, I will leave immediately without saying a word." Never in front of you from now on. โ
Mother Chen opened her mouth, hesitated for a moment and then said, "I hope you keep your promise and don't come to disturb us from now on." โ
"Of course. Pei Youqing nodded in agreement, and she said in a trance with a little dazed eyes: "Eighteen years ago, there was a boy who worked in KTV. One day when he was on duty, he saw a black boss dragging a girl into the box, swearing and saying unsightly words.
There were a lot of people watching, as well as the girl's companions, and everyone knew what might happen to the girl, but no one dared to come forward to save her.
The helpless girl casts a pleading look at the boy who is a complete stranger. The boy's head was hot, he rushed forward, hit the black boss with an electric shock baton, and pushed the girl into the elevator with all his might.
With the help of the boy's friend, the girl escaped smoothly, but the boy did not escape, he was beaten by the black boss and bruised all over his body, and even his arm was broken alive. Every rainy day, there will be a dull pain.
He was in the hospital for three months, and the girl often visited him. A year later, they fell in love. Two years later, their romance was known to the girl's family.
The girl's family is a scholarly family, the boy's parents are dead, there is only a vocational high school graduation certificate, and the place of work is still a karaoke that is ashamed to talk about.
That year, the boy decided to go south to the imperial capital, and he told the girl to prove to her family that he had what it took to take care of her.
What he didn't say was: if he failed, he wouldn't come back. She is still young and can have a better future.
Luckily he succeeded, and perhaps this was the beginning of misfortune. The boy became a successful man with the stars and the moon, he began to swell, he began to be proud, he began to indulge himself.
He fell for the beauty trick of his competitor and was imprisoned for three years. Three years was a punishment for him, and he also realized his mistakes.
Three years later, he was released from prison and had wanted to apologize to his wife in order to ask for her forgiveness. As a result, all I heard was a cold 'divorce'.
After the divorce, he was not happy, even if the business was getting more and more prosperous, even if the amount in the bank card kept rising, even if the industry was expanding.
But that cold home without a little temperature repeatedly told him that what he had lost was his only relative in this world.
Over the years, he has repeatedly sought his ex-wife, begging for her forgiveness, and in order to avoid his entanglement, his ex-wife told him that he was in love with someone else and had a child.
Yes, the ex-wife said that the child was not his, it belonged to another man.
The man believed, and he had to believe. He served three years in prison, and on the day he was released from prison, a friend picked him up and washed the dust, and he was so drunk that he couldn't even remember how he got home.
The next day, his wife was about to divorce him, and on that day, his wife became an ex-wife and left his life.
In this way, he was unmarried for eight years, and his friends said that he was not worthy of being rich because he did not become bad. He laughed and said, "I've been bad, but I just understand that this 'bad' is not what he wants." โ
Half a year ago, he danced in front of us and said that he had crashed his ex-wife's car and scrapped it.
Friends advised him not to disturb his ex-wife's life, and the man should be able to afford to let it go.
He said that he was not entangled, he just felt that it was too bitter for a woman to take care of a child. He wanted to help her, but she refused.
As a last resort, he had to make this decision to crash her car and scrap it, so that he could get the insurance company to come forward to compensate. Only then will she accept the money with peace of mind. Because she didn't know that the money was actually out of his own pocket.
He said that he had calculated that when the child grows up to graduate from college, there are 300,000 yuan.
He also said that in another ten years, he would hit it again, this time to hit the price of a house. Because her child is a boy, and the boy will eventually face the pressure of buying a house in the future.
He said that he had made his ex-wife suffer too much, and even if he couldn't take care of her for the rest of her life, at least he hoped that the rest of her life would not be too hard.
Friends asked him why you divorced when you loved her so much.
He said that he didn't want a divorce either, and when he heard his wife say that he wanted a divorce, of course he refused.
But his wife insisted on a divorce, so he proposed to break his wrists, and if he won, his wife would not be allowed to mention divorce again. If his wife wins, he will go with her to the Civil Affairs Bureau for divorce.
He could win, and the emaciated wife was no match for him at all. But he still lost, because in the process of wrestling his wrists, his wife, who fell into disadvantage, used both hands.
At that moment, he knew that this woman really wanted to leave him, and he also knew that he couldn't keep her after all.
Last month, the man approached us and asked us for help. Truth be told, our first instinct was to say no, because there was almost no chance of success in this matter.
Even though there was little hope, Punctual still decided to make a trip. He said that the man did something wrong, but whether to forgive him or not, we don't count, the only person who is qualified to make decisions is his ex-wife.
All we have to do is do our best to resign ourselves to our destiny and give them at least one chance each.
This man is Han Jun, his ex-wife is your daughter Chen Huimin, and that child is Chenchen.
Han Jun is not married, so naturally he does not have two other sons. We were entrusted by Han Jun to help him fight for Sister Huimin's forgiveness for the last time, and we really didn't mean to rob Chenchen.
Auntie, I won't tell you that before today, Han Jun didn't know about his relationship with Chenchen at all. Even though we heard a different answer from your words, he still didn't believe it. โ
"I'm done. Pei Youqing concluded.
She was much more relaxed when she poured out all the things she wanted to say in her heart.
At this time, Chen's mother had already burst into tears, she covered Chenchen's ears and looked ahead, and asked in a choked voice: "Is what happened to Huimin in KTV true? Why don't I know!"
Pei Youqing looked behind him, and Chen's father, who was supposed to lie down and sleep, had already woken up.
His spirit was a little sluggish, his eyes were a little trance, and when his wife asked him like this, Father Chen also came back to his senses, and he took a long breath while pinching the mountain roots:
"You were in menopause and had a lot of mood swings, so we didn't dare tell you. It was the eldest brother who stepped in to deal with this, and the bully who wanted to bully Hui Min died, died in prison. โ
Father Chen, who put on his glasses, walked here strongly, and he looked directly at Pei Youqing at the dining table, and said in hindsight: "No wonder, no wonder I always feel that you pay special attention to Huimin's affairs." The topic is also deliberately guiding the two of them, it turns out that you are prepared. โ
Pei Youqing lowered his head in shame, after all, he had failed someone's kindness, "I'm sorry, we... โ
"Apologies don't count, I think you are also kind, I ask you a question, I hope you can answer me seriously. Father Chen, who interrupted Pei Youqing's words, paused for a moment before speaking solemnly: "Han Jun, really didn't remarry?"
Pei Youqing nodded heavily and said, "I am responsible for every word I say." โ
"No way. How could Min Min lie to us. Chen's mother shook her head again and again, she still didn't believe that her daughter would lie to herself.
Father Chen looked at his wife calmly and persuaded, "Why not? Have you forgotten that we chased after Hui Min back then and asked Hui Min why she wanted to divorce." She must have been annoyed by our questioning and made up a reason to fool us. โ
"But, in that case, why did she divorce Han Jun? During the three years he was in prison, Min Min helped him support his business. Obviously, as long as he is released from prison, she can live an easy life, and Min Min has no reason to divorce. โ
Mother Chen, who was full of doubts, focused her puzzled eyes on Pei Youqing, who hesitated for a moment, then shook her head and said, "I'm sorry, I don't know." In other words, even Han Jun himself doesn't know. โ
Chen's father walked to the door silently, and Chen's mother asked, "Where are you going?"
"Go ask for clarification. Ask your daughter what really happened back then, and ask her why she didn't tell us the truth. If she had been wronged ... โ
Chen's father paused, and almost spat out the last sentence from between his teeth: "Our daughter can't be bullied." โ
