At dinner the next day, my eyes were always aimed at my mother, consciously or unconsciously, and she looked the same as usual, as if yesterday's incident had not happened at all.

I'm not sure if Uncle Zheng told her what I said, but I do hope that she can be a little gentle with me, just a little.

Even if it's just a pat on the shoulder and say to me, "I wronged you for yesterday's incident." ”

But she didn't say anything after half of the meal.

I silently pulled the rice in the bowl, like chewing wax, in this family, I seem to be a superfluous person.

Inadvertently, as soon as I looked up, I happened to meet Zheng Xinguang's gaze on me, like a snoop, and like a look, which made people very uncomfortable.

Compared with Zheng Xinguang, Uncle Zheng was much more amiable, and said with a smile, "I remember that Juanzi likes to eat Coke chicken wings, come! Uncle will clip one for you!"

I was a little flattered, "Thank you, Uncle Zheng." ”

He tapped on my head, pretending to be angry, "It's all a family, why are you still so outside?"

I smiled a little embarrassedly, but my heart was sweet, this feeling of being valued, I had never felt it in my mother's place, I only had one thought at that time.

If only Uncle Zheng were my father.

This warm scene did not last long, and as Zheng Xinguang's chopsticks fell heavily on the dining table, all the previous warm scenes came to naught.

He said coldly, "Who is the family with her?"

"Xinguang, what are you talking about!" Uncle Zheng had anger on his face, and he just slapped the table and roared.

Even if it was against Uncle Zheng, Zheng Xinguang didn't intend to back down at all, kicked off the chair and stood up, and said condescendingly, "I said it a long time ago, if I have to accept this woman, I should not have my son!"

"You!"

Seeing that the father and son were about to quarrel, my mother pulled Uncle Zheng under the table, "Don't say it." Now that the child is older, he has to save some face. ”

At that moment, I was really a little envious of him, I could hear what my mother whispered to Uncle Zheng clearly, and her words became a thorn in my heart.

Since she knows that the child wants to save face when she is older, why did she treat me so much in Zheng Xinguang's room yesterday?

I shouted a little unwillingly, "Mom, I ......"

"I'll talk about that later. ”

My mother was busy comforting Zheng Xinguang, and she didn't notice that my emotions were wrong, like a temporary accosting, and she smiled at Zheng Xinguang, wanting to help alleviate the conflict between father and son, "Xinguang hasn't bought new clothes for a long time?"

"I don't think it's as good as this, it just so happens that Auntie doesn't have to go to work this afternoon, so let's go to the mall together. ”

Zheng Xinguang paused, turned his head to glance at her, and said sarcastically, "Do you have money? Isn't it all my dad's money? I have to thank you for buying me things with my dad's money?"

When it comes to humiliating people, Zheng Xinguang is the first, and I really can't think of who is the second.

I still remember how ugly my mother's face was, but I can only endure it.

"Bump!"

The door was still slammed, and the three people who were still sitting in the living room fell silent.

A good meal broke up again unhappily.

My mother softened her face and looked at Uncle Zheng, taking all the blame on herself, "It's because I just thought about it inappropriately, boys generally don't like to try on clothes." ”

"Since Xinguang doesn't want to go, then you can only accompany me on a trip, I don't know what style he likes. ”

Uncle Zheng seemed to like my mother's intimacy very much, and his face, which was still tense just now, eased a little, "Okay, Juanzi will go with you, the girl's clothes are indispensable." ”

"No...... No need. "I'm busy, yes, refuse.

At that age, there was no girl who didn't like beautiful clothes, and I was certainly no exception.

It's just that before moving into the Zheng family, my mother specially told me that I must not cause trouble to others, let alone accept too much kindness from others, Uncle Zheng has been good enough for me, and I dare not ask for clothes or anything.

I made an excuse and excused myself, "I haven't finished the homework assigned by the teacher yet, and I want to do my homework at home in the afternoon." ”

"It's okay, it's important to study. ”

Uncle Zheng didn't force it anymore, they quickly packed up their things and went out, while I consciously began to pack up the dishes and chopsticks and put them in the pool, washing and recalling the scene that had just happened, and I was even more afraid of Zheng Xinguang.

He's really not easy to mess with......

The thought of me having to live under the same roof with him for years, if not decades, makes my scalp tingle.

At this moment, Zheng Xinguang's originally closed door was pushed open with a "creak", and I turned my head to look back, Zheng Xinguang was walking slowly in my direction.

"You...... What are you doing?"

Zheng Xinguang raised his eyebrows, "I didn't want to do anything, but your face is ......."

Where is my weak heart? I am clearly afraid, afraid that he will start beating me if he disagrees......

"I don't have a weak heart!"

Zheng Xinguang was obviously not as mixed up as I thought, and he only came here to sit down on the sofa opposite.

I was secretly relieved when I saw this, and quickly finished washing the dishes and chopsticks, thinking about escaping from this place of right and wrong as soon as possible.

But at the moment when I swept over the sofa, my wrist was suddenly grabbed by him, pulled back hard, and fell directly on the sofa, his words fell immediately, "Now that you're done, you can start getting down to business." ”

"What, what's the matter?" I panicked.

Could it be that he is trying to settle accounts with me? I probably didn't say anything excessive yesterday......

He was already a head taller than me, not to mention that I was still sitting, and his sense of oppression on me was extremely strong at that moment, "Did you tell anyone about yesterday?"

"I didn't, my mom didn't know. ”

"Really?"

My chick pecked at me, revealing exactly what had happened since I left his room yesterday.

"After you closed the door, my mother took me to confess my mistake to Uncle Zheng, but I didn't say that, by the way, I also told Uncle Zheng that there was a reason for your grades to drop, so he didn't blame you too much......"

Now that I am the only one left in the house, I don't dare to have a conflict with him rashly, for fear that he will be in a hurry and beat me up to relieve my anger.

After all, he never wanted to see our mother and daughter.

But Zheng Xinguang's reaction surprised me a little, he glanced at me and snorted coldly, "Don't think that I will recognize you if you say a few good words about me in front of my father, it was your mother's fault, and you should help explain." ”

"Shall I go back to my room?" I asked cautiously.
