"Hurt someone?" I asked in unison, looking extremely surprised.

Ye Xing's adoptive father looked at us and nodded, and then continued: "The girlfriend he went to see was a little girl as old as him, maybe the other party's family was against their early love, so he took advantage of the darkness to block the alley of that family, and injured the little girl's father with an iron rod, and the injury was not light, and he was admitted to the hospital." ”

I was a little puzzled and asked Ye Xing's adoptive father: "Just because he opposed their early love, Ye Xing injured someone's father?"

Ye Xing's adoptive father nodded, thought about it and said to me: "At that time, they both had their own opinions, and the little girl's parents said that it was because they opposed their early love, so they aroused Ye Xing's revenge. And Ye Xing said that it was because the little girl's parents abused her that he fought for her, oh, by the way," Speaking of which, Mr. Ye reminded us, "That little girl seems to be an orphan, and she was adopted by that family when she was very old." ”

Hearing this, we were stunned, and then I rushed to ask, "What's that family's surname?"

Mr. Ye answered us truthfully and said, "Last name...... Poplar. ”

Hai Chao and I looked at each other, and now all the problems seem to be solved, this little girl is likely to be Yang Kexin, she and Ye Xing have regained contact through the network after being separated for many years.

"Then what happened?" I asked Ye Xing's adoptive father eagerly.

Mr. Ye sighed helplessly, he helped his glasses, and said to us slowly: "Ye Xing and the little girl said that her adoptive parents abused her, but there was no conclusive evidence, the law is evidence-based, and Ye Xing beat people to a blue nose and swollen face, multiple scars on his body, lying in the hospital and unable to move, this is an ironclad fact, the little girl's adoptive mother was not forgiving at that time, what can I do?" I can only try my best to apologize to others, but fortunately, the little girl's adoptive father also agreed to reconcile, and at the same time, after all, Ye Xing is a minor, so in the end we reached a settlement, losing tens of thousands of yuan, Ye Xing was detained for more than ten days and then released, and I took him back to Sanye City. ”

Haichao and I listened silently, and then I asked softly, "Does this matter bring a lot of shadow to your family?"

Mr. Ye sighed again and said helplessly: " Yes, at that time, I didn't have much money in my hand because of the failure of stock speculation, and most of the money to compensate the Yang family was borrowed, so my wife and I had a big quarrel, and then after I brought Ye Xing back, I scolded him, I said to Ye Xing: I was not your biological father originally, you were very big when you came to our house, although I have not been as good to you as my biological father in recent years, but I have not beaten you, and now you have caused such a big disaster, the family has no money, because your early love injured your father, and you have to wipe your ass, for this reason your mother quarrels with me all day long, you tell me what to do about this situation？”

"How did Ye Xing answer you?" I asked softly.

"Ye Xing, this kid is actually very stubborn in his bones, I scolded him at the time, he lowered his head and said nothing, and then said sorry, saying that I will return this money to you after I earn money. I said to him: You don't have to say I'm sorry, I don't have to pay back this money, so let's do it, I don't feel like we have the fate to be father and son, but since I adopted you, I have to fulfill my obligations to you, so before you are eighteen years old, you can still stay in this family, but if you reach the age of eighteen, you can be admitted to university at that time, just rely on the holiday work-study to support yourself, if you can't pass the exam, you can go outside to fend for yourself, a young man can eat a bite of food when he does anything, and it doesn't matter if you don't have my Ye family name, we don't expect you to support the elderly, and our father-son relationship will be over at that time。 ”

Listening to these cold words, I was speechless for a moment, and then I asked Ye Xing's adoptive father softly: "Then what was Ye Xing's reaction at that time?"

Ye Xing's adoptive father sneered, and said coldly: "What can he do? After causing such a big disaster, of course he felt that he was at a loss, so he could only acquiesce." ”

"How was Ye Xing's situation in your house in the next few years?" I asked again.

Ye Xing's adoptive father sighed lightly and replied lightly: "In the next few years, although he still lived in our house, he basically didn't ask us for a penny again, and his usual tuition fees were earned by working in some small restaurants and small bars, and those places didn't care if he was an adult." To tell the truth, my current wife already hates him very much, and after this incident, she has a bad impression of him, and she won't let him touch the piano, and she is going to leave it for our youngest son to learn in the future, so Ye Xing went to the Juvenile Art Palace after work, and talked about the situation at home, and he also asked the teacher over there to let him practice, and a few teachers may have pity him, so they agreed to his request. A few years later, he was admitted to the university, but the tuition fee was not asked to us, and it is said that several teachers at the Palace of Arts supported him part, and the other part was accumulated by his usual part-time job.

"And he left your house like that?" I asked softly.

"Yes," Mr. Ye stroked his glasses and said slowly, "Before he left our house, he talked to me once, thanked me for my nurturing grace over the years, and repeatedly said that if he made money after graduation, he would return the tens of thousands of yuan I compensated him for back then, I said to him: Forget it, I don't want the money, as long as you go your own way in the future, our father-son relationship will come to an end." ”

Listening to Ye Xing's adoptive father's cold and ruthless words, my heart trembled slightly, and I seemed to have felt Ye Xing's feeling of loneliness and helplessness at that time.

"He never came back to your house since, did he?" I asked again, after a moment of silence.

"Nope. Ye Xing's adoptive father replied with an expressionless face.

"Then you're never in touch again?" I asked.

Ye Xing's adoptive father raised his head and glanced at me, and replied lightly, "Every year during the Chinese New Year, I will make a greeting call, and there is nothing else besides this." ”

"Did he give you the money?" I asked, after thinking for a long time.

Ye Xing's adoptive father glanced at me again, nodded slightly, and muttered back: "The year before last, he called me and asked me for an account, and then transferred the tens of thousands of yuan to that account." ”

I didn't say anything more.

At this time, Mr. Ye glanced around at the two of us and said in a low voice: "If I had to choose again, I would not adopt such a big child again, one is that I can't raise a child at all, and secondly, he already has his own thinking ability, and many things hurt him a lot, the day my ex-wife left my house, Ye Xing cried for a whole night, and later, my current wife didn't look down on him, plus we had a son later, so a lot of things ...... I was caught in the middle, and I was also very difficult. ”

I believe that Ye Xing's adoptive father is not a bad person, he is just an ordinary person, a wise person to protect himself, although he later seemed very indifferent to many of Ye Xing's practices, but as others, we can't say anything, after all, no one is perfect, there are really pure and kind people in this world, and there are too few people like Du Fanghua who are dedicated to helping the lonely and weak.

On that day, we said goodbye to Ye Xing's adoptive father's house, and our hearts were very heavy.

Sitting on the train back to S City, Haichao asked me, "What are you thinking now?"

Lost in thought, I was pulled back to reality by Hai Chao's words, I raised my head and smiled faintly at her, and then whispered back, "No idea." ”

Hai Chao returned me with a faint smile, and she put her hand on the hand I placed on her knee, and whispered to me, "Don't check any further, those two children...... They are also miserable people, and some things are ...... by them Go ahead, Deng Liang is not a good person anyway, as long as you are doing well now, you can do it. ”

I looked at Haichao's sincere face, smiled helplessly, and my heart became heavier and heavier.

I had a deep fear in my heart, because I was afraid that Ye Xing and Yang Kexin had not only designed the case of Deng Liang, but there might be other more insidious and terrifying things that I didn't know......

After returning to S City, my daughter Tongtong came to me on the weekend, the little guy seemed unusually preoccupied this time, and I was listless when I talked, I asked her what was wrong, Tongtong replied to me with a bitter face: "Mom, my father's company may be in big trouble, he has been in a very bad mood recently, I heard the aunt at home say that he often loses his temper when he comes home, and he has to fire his aunt, I went to him last Sunday, listened to him call in the study, and Uncle Liang said that it is really not good, only to file for bankruptcy protection and the like." ”

I gently stroked my daughter's head, thoughtfully.

Seeing that I didn't speak, Tongtong leaned in front of me, looked up at me, and asked me innocently: "If my father's company goes bankrupt, then he will be unemployed, right? The villa we live in now will also be repossessed, right? Because I heard my father and Yang Kexin say that the house has a loan." ”

I looked at my daughter's big, anxious and longing eyes, and for a moment I didn't know what to say to her.

After pondering for a moment, he had to stroke her little head and comfort her: "I think your father's company will not go bankrupt so easily, even if he really applies for bankruptcy, there will be other ways for him to start a new business, so you don't have to worry too much, just concentrate on learning your homework, even if your father's career is in trouble temporarily, then there is still your mother, and your mother will take care of you with all her might." ”

Tongtong nodded at me as if she didn't understand, but there was still a touch of sadness in her eyes, I knew that she was still very worried about Deng Liang, after all, it was her own father.

At this time, I don't know how to act, should I find a way to stop Ye Xing and Yang Kexin's further actions, or just let it go and watch from the sidelines?

My mind is really messed up.

It was also at this time that Ye Xing suddenly found my door.
