Chapter 39: Single Fathers
Xiao Li looked up at Ye Beibei and didn't interrupt him, and his voice gradually calmed down, "My adoptive mother suffered from intestinal cancer when I was twenty-five years old, and finally passed away because it was incurable, and the adoptive father and adoptive mother had a deep relationship with the husband and wife, and after the adoptive mother died, the adoptive father also suffered from a cerebral hemorrhage, and he couldn't afford to be sick, he was sick, and he hoped that You Jia would marry me."
My adoptive father watched me grow up and felt that only by marrying You Jia to me could he rest assured. I have always taken care of You Jia as my own sister, and You Jia doesn't love me, she just treats me as an older brother, but this is my adoptive father's only wish, and we still got married according to my adoptive father's wishes. After we got married, we took care of our adoptive father together, and later we had the Ink Pavilion, and on the day of the 100-day wine in the Ink Pavilion, the adoptive father died. ”
It's really everyone has a secret, Ye Beibei didn't expect that the serious Xiao Li would also have such a painful past, she slowly let go of the place at the door and let Xiao Li walk in.
She gave Xiao Li a glass of water, in fact, she was so familiar that she overpassed, she and Xiao Moting have gotten along very well since they met, and Xiao Li treated her friendly, but her identity is just a neighbor after all, even if she unconsciously inquires about other people's family affairs, it is not good.
Now Xiao Li explained to herself so solemnly, which made her a little embarrassed.
Xiao Li sat on the sofa at Ye Beibei's house, sat like a primary school student, took a sip of water, and continued: "You Jia is studying fashion design, and she has always been arrogant, after the death of her adoptive father, she gradually became unwilling to live this ordinary life, so she discussed with me to go abroad. I knew that I couldn't keep her with my children, and I didn't want to wronged her, so I took the initiative to file for divorce. After her third birthday in Moting, she went to France and never returned. ”
Ye Beibei sat on the chair on the side, tilted his head and listened carefully to Xiao Li's words, and when he saw that his words were over, he hurriedly said: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to ask about this today, your family affairs, I ...... I'm not interested in knowing!"
Xiao Li wrinkled between his eyebrows, his expression was a little uneasy, a little cramped, "I didn't mean to say this to attract your sympathy, I just want to say that Moting and I are both ..... Moting, Moting likes you very much! Moting This child is actually not as well-behaved and lively as he seems on the surface, he is actually very withdrawn in his bones, although he never argues with me for a mother, but whenever he sees other children with his mother, he will immediately walk away, or simply turn a blind eye. In the past, he would rather stay at home than go to the plaza downstairs to play!"
Ye Beibei listened to Xiao Li's words, a little stunned, and really couldn't connect the Xiao Moting in Xiao Li's mouth with Xiao Moting who was playing downstairs with a lively and cheerful person behind him.
"After You Jia left, the people in the unit also introduced me to my girlfriend, and I also felt that Moting was too small, and I was too busy, and he needed a woman to take care of him. However, no matter which woman I brought back, he was not satisfied, he didn't talk to people, didn't look at people, refused to eat, and then simply got into trouble with me, saying that if I had another girlfriend, he would run away from home!" Xiao Li spread his hands helplessly, and then looked at Ye Beibei with expectant eyes, "I really didn't expect that Moting would accept you so easily, he likes you very much, and he is very compatible with you!" After saying this, he suddenly realized something, and hurriedly added, " Of course, I don't have any other consciousness, I just hope you don't ignore him because of me, just now he lost his temper with me at home, saying that I made you angry and refused to eat......"
"How could I ignore him!" Ye Beibei felt that she was fickle, before this, she really decided not to associate with the father and son anymore, "You go and call Moting over, I'll cook!"
"No, you go to call Moting, he must be happy, I'm free today, I'll cook!" Xiao Li saw that Ye Beibei's attitude had completely eased, he stood up happily, as if he wanted to show off his skills, and walked towards the kitchen with his cuffs in his hands.
"Do you know how to cook?" Ye Beibei was a little surprised, because his father and Jiang Yuezhou were both masters who came to reach out for food to open their mouths, and Ye Beibei always felt that men couldn't cook.
"Of course, how can a single father not know how to cook!" Xiao Li said, raising an eyebrow at her easily.
Ye Beibei came to find Xiao Moting, and as soon as she opened the door of Xiao Li's house, she heard a low cry of grievance from Xiao Moting's house, so panicked that she hurriedly ran over, pushed open the door, and saw Xiao Moting sitting on the bed with a toy dog in his arms, with a string of tears on his face, miserable like an abandoned child.
"Moting, what's wrong with you?" Ye Beibei rushed over in panic and hugged him.
"Sister, I thought you ...... You won't pay attention to me anymore!" Xiao Moting swallowed for a while before he spoke.
Ye Beibei's eyes turned red when he heard this, his heart was sour, and he persuaded him softly: "How can it be, Moting is so cute, how can my sister be willing to ignore you? Sister, I will always be with Moting!" As he spoke, he took out a tissue from the bedside and wiped his tears for him.
Xiao Moting's big eyes rolled, and he said slyly: "Then you hook me up, you can never ignore me!"
"Okay, let's pull the hook, I'll always pay attention to you!" Ye Beibei smiled happily, "I stick to Xiao Moting wherever he goes." ”
Xiao Moting showed a smile with red eyes, and then as if he remembered something, he looked up and asked, "Where is my father?"
"He wants to cook for us, but I don't know how his skills are?" Ye Beibei said with a pretended to be worried.
"Don't worry, although my dad doesn't cook often, his cooking skills are still first-class!" Xiao Moting lost no time in eating cattle for his father.
Although it was raining outside at this time, the house was as warm as spring, Ye Beibei and Xiao Moting sat on the sofa while playing with toys and watching TV, while eating the washed fruits and snacks that Xiao Li kept sending over, listening to Xiao Moting's innocent and carefree laughter, watching Xiao Li with a floral apron busy in the kitchen, and the enticing aroma of food wafting all over the house, Ye Beibei suddenly felt that this kind of life was also very good.
The three of them ate very happily at this meal, Xiao Li's craftsmanship is really not blown, every dish is delicious, he also drank some red wine, and gave Ye Beibei and Xiao Moting juice, he has a pair of eyes as dark as Xiao Moting, and his smile is as bright as a star, shining in front of Ye Beibei.
……
The economic and trade conference held in the city was held in the splendid Peony Hall, and in the venue where the elites gathered and the high-end seats were full, Jiang Yuezhou met Li Minglang, which was the first time he saw Li Minglang since he knew all the truth and Ye Beibei left.
