Liu Shulan straightened the woolen skirt with some wrinkles on her knees.

"That's the case, Xiao An, it's not a short time since you got married, not counting the past three years, just in the previous years, you asked yourself how the Zhou family treated you?"

Chang An replied with a smile: "Very good." ”

"Very good, right? Especially the old man, you should have counted it in your own heart, even if you have been away in the past few years, the old man will often mention you, and say that Ah Yan is not blessed. ”

Chang An believes this, the old man is really good to her, good enough to believe and spoil her unconditionally, but Liu Shulan moved the old man out at the beginning, is this going to play the emotional card?

"Mom, what the hell are you trying to say?" she said, holding her coffee cup and smiling innocently.

Liu Shulan had a feeling that she had nowhere to work, and sank, "Forget it, the family doesn't talk to each other, I'll just find out with you directly, that's the case, Xiao An, I recently found some connections and checked some things..."

At this point, Liu Shulan paused slightly, probably to observe how Chang An would react, but unfortunately the woman opposite just fixed her eyes, not surprised, not weak-hearted, not afraid or nervous as she expected, more of a kind of confusion, as if she didn't understand what she was talking about.

But this confusion was also fleeting, Liu Shulan looked at Chang An and took a sip of coffee, and shouted softly: "Mom, you shouldn't just find some relationships, you should have paid for it and hired a private detective?"

“……”

"Also, this kind of family ugliness is not suitable for publicity, it is more appropriate for private detectives to come forward, the techniques are professional, the work efficiency is high, and the confidentiality is also better. ”

This is obviously a mockery, in other words, maybe you still think she is mean, but you can say it from Chang An's mouth, how to say it? Her face is really too flattering, white and pure, soft and weak, and there is a light smoothness between her eyebrows, as if she is always wrapped in a layer of soft light, so no matter how bitter words come out of her mouth, it is annoying.

Liu Shulan felt sulky, and the most hateful thing was that she guessed that she had indeed found a team similar to a private detective to operate.

"You know someone is looking at you?"

"Yes. Chang An wrinkled his nose slightly, "A few days ago, when I went back to Yugang, the landlord told me that someone went over there to ask me about my situation, and there were several people squatting at the entrance of the hospital, so Mom, why do you have to run to the long river, what I have done anywhere, you actually know it." ”

Chang An said this a little aggrieved, but it didn't seem that the aggrieved mother-in-law sent someone to follow her, but just that the aggrieved mother-in-law knew her whereabouts and lied and said that she had gone to the Long River several times.

The implication, Mom, you are not honest!

Poor Liu Shulan had insomnia for most of the night last night, lying on the bed and making a full belly, she was ready to come over and speak clearly on the spot, but Chang An's three words, cold and hot attitude, made her ears dry.

Okay, Liu Shulan listened to Chang An's tone, and I was afraid that she planned not to save her face at all.

"Okay, now that you know everything, I won't hide it. "Ming people don't say dark words, it's simpler to not whitewash.

Liu Shulan took another sip of tea and took a sip, "I did find someone to check, don't blame me for doing too much, please also understand my mother's feelings, you said that you were kidnapped three years ago, and you thought that the person was gone, you didn't see the appearance of Ah Yan back then..."

Every time Liu Shulan recalled, her heart was uncomfortable.

"He stayed on that desert island for two months, and he was so thin that he couldn't form it for two months, and he refused to come back no matter how much he persuaded him, and then he fell ill and was carried back, but as soon as he woke up, he had to go to the island to find it after the needle was removed, you know I'm a damn person..."

This is not pretending, it is really uncomfortable, after all, it is his own son, seeing him lose weight, torture, and lose his soul day by day, he must be distressed as a mother, and this distress, this hardship that Zhou Wei endured, now Liu Shulan probably has to blame Chang An.

"You also know in your heart how Ah Yan treats you, when you left, he didn't even feel comfortable in the past three years, but he finally survived and accepted the fact that you died, but you came out coldly, so you didn't miss arms or legs, so where did you say you have been in the past three years, what have you done, why don't you come back?"

"I know these words don't sound good, but if they don't sound good, I have to say that since you don't want to come back, there must be a reason for you, but you can't keep silent, three years, not three days, not three hours, so many days, such a big thing, no matter what, you can't keep everyone in the dark. ”

“… Of course, you can't be blamed for this, some time ago, I also looked for Ah Qi several times, and wanted to ask what was going on, but he didn't say a word, he could call me all back as soon as I opened my mouth, and your grandfather was even more desperate, and directly gave a death order, and the family was not allowed to ask you what had happened in the past three years, really..."

Liu Shulan was obviously very dissatisfied with this regulation, "The old man lives a thorough life, and it's normal for him to be at his age and not to ask, but I can't, I can't just hold it back, watching you disappear for three years and suddenly come back, so I have to let me know where you have been for the past three years, otherwise when I look back, how can I answer? How can I explain?"

Liu Shulan said a little excitedly, and the hands on her knees were shaking.

Standing in her position, Chang An can understand, really, she can understand it completely, after all, three years ago, she said no, and three years later, she suddenly popped up, without a word of explanation, no one would be at ease, not to mention that it was a family background like the Zhou family, how could she be allowed to exist unclearly.

"Mom..."Chang An held the cup in his hand, "I understand what you mean, you just want to say that I deliberately concealed it, and Ah Yi deliberately covered me, so you were forced to find a private detective to investigate me, is that what you mean?"

Chang An asked lukewarmly, and he couldn't find any fault in the words, but it made Liu Shulan a little stunned.

In fact, she herself knows in her heart that finding a private detective to investigate and track her daughter-in-law, no matter what the motive is, it is immoral and a little ugly in terms of the practice itself, but she really has no choice.

Liu Shulan smiled bitterly, "I know that you must be resentful in your heart now, maybe you hate me, but one by one in the family, those who refuse to ask are not allowed to ask, and those who refuse to say are not going to be said, but if there is really something in the middle, can it be solved by escaping and concealing it like this? Think about it, why don't I be this wicked person." ”

Chang An sometimes thinks of Liu Shulan and thinks that she is not very annoying, at least she is not very hypocritical when facing herself, she is clear about good and evil, which makes it easy to distinguish.

In this way, Chang An also felt that he had saved a lot of effort.

"Mom, you're serious, and the wicked aren't enough. She still smiled softly, "But you don't have to do so much foreshadowing, I was still thinking about how to tell you these things in the future, really, it's hard to say, but since you've already found someone to check on me, you naturally know what I've done in the past three years, so it's better to just say what you think." ”

Liu Shulan paused.

In fact, she did so much foreshadowing before, just so that the words that came out later could not be so... It's not so unkind, but now Chang An cut it off from the middle, disrupting Liu Shulan's rhythm again.

She hurriedly brushed it up, feeling a little impatient, but after thinking about it, in the end, it was her son's future and the credibility of the Zhou family that were important, and the rest could be ignored in front of the two.

"Little An, I'm really... You know I couldn't believe it when I got the news. Liu Shulan took another big sip of tea, seeing that it was about to bottom out, she twisted the edge of the teacup with her fingers, looked left and right, made sure that no one was listening next to her, leaned forward, and asked Chang An in a low voice, "You really... Sucked that thing?"

Chang An felt extremely calm in his heart at that moment, and even had a feeling of relief, like a boulder hanging above his head, and he didn't know when he would suddenly fall down and break himself, but now it's good, knowing that the boulder is down, whether it is pressed or not, whether it will crush him to death, but at least there is no need to worry about it.

"Mom, I'll get you some water. ”

She picked up the small teapot on the table and poured a little into the empty porcelain cup that Liu Shulan had drunk.

Liu Shulan held her breath, in fact, she still hoped that the source was incorrect, but Chang An put the teapot on the small stove again after pouring the water, and smiled slightly.

"Haily, I had about half a year before and after, and I was forced to quit once in the middle, but unfortunately, I didn't succeed, and I persevered for a week and then relapsed, and after half a year, it should be the period before the final verdict of the kidnapping case was announced, I entered the drug rehabilitation hospital and stayed in it for more than half a year. ”

Chang An answered Liu Shulan's question positively and clearly in a eloquent tone, but this was undoubtedly like a bombshell blow, and the firepower was more difficult for Liu Shulan to accept than the information provided by the private detective.

"Chang'an, you..."

She didn't know how to organize her language for a while, but the huge waves in her heart were rolling, thinking about the appearance of Chang An when she first entered the door, gentle and lovely, and knowledgeable, which was also the reason why Liu Shulan fell in love with her at first sight, but she said to herself coldly, I am addicted to drugs, and I am still the most addicted to Haily, how can she accept it.

Set for that half a day, Liu Shulan finally made up a sentence: "You... I can't. ”

Yes, she is Xue Bing's daughter, the eldest daughter of the Chang family, and Xue Wenxiu's only granddaughter.

It's over when you put it together, Chang An knows this.

She clasped her fingers on the lid of the paper cup and tapped it gently, "I know I can't, but my life is up to me, Jin Dafu gave me an injection when he tied me to the boat, and that injection was not voluntary to me." ”

"One shot is addictive?"

Regarding this question, Chang An could only smile helplessly: "Who knows, there is no official data showing that a shot is not addictive, anyway, I am." ”

Liu Shulan took a heavy breath, she didn't want to ask more about this, in her values and cognition, the word "poison" is like snakes, insects, rats and ants, maggots in the dirtiest corners, just saying it in her mouth already feels disgusting.

"That's why you disappeared for three years?"

"It's okay, but it's not all, I can't come back from the situation at that time, one is faceless, and the other is that I don't want to, and then I stayed in the drug rehabilitation hospital for more than half a year, and I don't think it's necessary to come back, and there is another objective reason......"

Chang An felt that since the words had come to this point, it was better to make it all clear, "I was already pregnant when I was kidnapped, and I fell into the water when I was rescued from the boat, the child was gone, and I didn't deal with it well, and I had a problem, and I went for a gynecological examination after I came out of the drug rehabilitation hospital last year, and the doctor said that I may not be able to conceive again." ”

Liu Shulan's face stiffened suddenly, "What did you say, you say it again?"

Chang An licked his lips, "I said, I can't conceive anymore." ”

Liu Shulan was stunned there, her expression was wooden, and after a few seconds, she suddenly slumped down.

"Ouch you wait, you wait... My heart aches..."

She clenched her fist and knocked it on her chest several times in succession, which looked like an exaggeration, but Chang An knew that this was not pretending, when the blows flew towards her one after another, people would indeed have some uncomfortable physical reactions in an instant, such as headaches, chest tightness, and even poor breathing, and Liu Shulan was at this stage at this time.

Chang An looked a little reluctant, and planned to go over to help her get along with it, but after thinking about it, forget it.

She sat there quietly and waited for Liu Shulan's wave of emotions to pass.

Liu Shulan sat in the nest for three or four minutes, and in these three or four minutes, the people in the store walked several times, and outside the window were people coming and going to work.

Chang Anxin was actually quite annoyed, and suddenly wanted to smoke again.

"Mom—" she put the cup on the table.

Liu Shulan covered her chest and raised her head, her eyes were a little red, but it was not because she wanted to cry, but it was an extreme emotional reaction.

"Xiao An, why don't you and Ah Yan forget it......" It's hard for her to force herself to say this sentence in such a tone.

Chang An touched her lips with her fingers and looked out the window, the leaves had already fallen, the sun was not good, and there was no beautiful scenery, but the world was alive, and there was still heat and light in her heart.

"Mom, I'm sorry, I may not be able to promise you!"

"You can't promise me, so you're going to live with Ah Wei forever?"

Liu Shulan's tone began to become sharp, probably finally holding on to the limit, and she couldn't hold on any longer.

"You should actually know better than anyone else in your heart, if you are with Ah Yan again, you will harm him, not to mention that you have taken drugs, once this kind of thing is picked up, not only Ah Yan will be affected, but the whole family will be implicated, the old man may be fine, he has already retired, at such an age, at most he will be notorious in later generations, but your father-in-law is different, he is still in power, although it is not an important position, but let others think of him? Mayor Zhou's daughter-in-law is addicted to drugs, you ......"

"Mom, let me correct me, I'm not addicted to drugs anymore, I've quit!" Chang An interrupted.

Liu Shulan was so angry that her liver began to hurt.

"Okay, let's just count that you are not addicted now, and let's count that you really won't relapse in the future, but it's always a fact that you have smoked, and our Zhou family will not be able to raise their heads for the rest of their lives. ”
