As long as Zhao Qian corrects her attitude, has no self-righteousness, and does not have any conflict of interest, Xiao Lan will not deliberately embarrass her. The conversation between the pen and the fun and the pavilion www.biquge.info went well.

After talking with Zhao Qian, Xiao Lan agreed to Zhao Qian's request to help persuade Zhong Nian, and Zhao Qian said that as long as Zhong Nian agreed to go with her, then she could give Xiao Lan a sum of money, which was enough for Xiao Lan to finish four years of college. But Zhao Qian didn't wait for Zhong Nian to come back, so she had to leave halfway.

After taking a bath, Xiao Lan found that Zhong Nian had returned, and he was painting in his room. Looking at Zhong Nian's concentration on painting, Xiao Lan had already made up his mind. After Zhong Nian and Zhao Qian go abroad, he will have better living conditions and receive professional painting training. Correspondingly, Xiao Lan's burden will also be reduced.

Xiao Lan is not Zhong Ming, she will not have the idea of keeping Zhong Nian. Because Zhong Nian chose to go abroad with Zhao Qian, he would live a better life. After living with Zhong Nian for half a year, he also has a little emotion, and from his point of view, the choice of going abroad is completely a question to send points.

"Sister!" Zhong Nian stopped painting after seeing Xiao Lan, thinking of the previous incident with Sun Dongquan, and was about to share it with Xiao Lan impatiently, he said happily: "Me and ......"

Xiao Lan didn't let him continue, interrupted him, she said, "Zhao Qian has been here today. ”

Zhong Nian's excitement was as if someone had poured cold water on him, and he frowned and asked, "What is she doing here?"

Xiao Lan found a stool and sat down, and continued: "She wants to take you away and go to the United States to live with her. ”

"I'm not going. When Zhong Nian heard this, his attitude was firm, without any sneer, and when he heard her intention to take him away, he sneered and said, "She left without saying a word before, what does it mean to come back now?" He blamed this incompetent mother.

"You actually really want to live with her. Xiao Lan had already seen through his thoughts, because he cared about and had feelings, so Zhong Nian would get angry and complain.

"No!" Zhong Nian shook his head in denial.

"Why is the business card she left behind before missing? ”

"I lost it. Zhong Nian looked in a trance, obviously lying. He took his mother's contact information, and he also held a thought that even if he didn't want to recognize her, he wanted to know about her.

Regarding Zhong Nian's unruly lies, and also knowing Zhong Nian's motives for lying, Xiao Lan had no choice but to say: "Zhong Nian, I am your sister." I've lived with you for so many years, and you can't fool me. ”

"If you go abroad with her, you can get a better education, better living conditions, and you can also get professional art guidance to learn what you have always wanted to learn. Isn't that great?" Xiao Lan continued to persuade kindly.

"I hate her, so it's impossible to forgive her, let alone go with her. Zhong Nian has always denied his emotions, in fact, he just doesn't know what kind of attitude to use to treat this "lost and regained" mother.

Xiao Lan sighed secretly, looked directly into Zhong Nian's eyes, and said lightly: "You are just complaining, in fact, you still miss her very much." You don't believe what you say. ”

"......" Zhong Nian knew that he couldn't persuade Xiao Lan, so he turned his head directly and stopped talking to Xiao Lan.

The room fell silent, and no one spoke again. Zhong Nian was stubborn, Xiao Lan was even more stubborn, she didn't give up, staring at Zhong Nian, who was sitting on the bed and diverting her attention with painting, and she was in a stalemate for half an hour.

After Zhong Nian finished painting, he saw that Xiao Lan hadn't left yet, his eyes were stagnant, he put down his pen, and had the intention of compromise. Xiao Lan is an older sister, and Zhong Nian is a younger brother who always stops talking to his sister.

He asked Xiao Lan softly: "If I leave with her, what about you?" In fact, the most important thing is that he doesn't want to leave Xiao Lan, no matter how important his mother is, it is not as important as taking care of his eldest sister all the time.

Xiao Lan knew that Zhong Nian was knowingly asking, she would not go with Zhong Nian for everything, she explained the reason why she stayed: "I'm not actually her daughter, you know?" She referred to Zhao Qian.

"......" Zhong Nian was silent.

In fact, Zhong Nian has always known that he and Zhong Ming are half-siblings, when he was a child, Zhao Qian deliberately told Zhong Nian in order to keep Zhong Nian from being too good to Zhong Ming, and at the same time, it can also explain the reason why Zhao Qian treated the two differently from childhood to adulthood.

The two looked at each other speechlessly again, Xiao Lan knew that Zhong Nian's inherent thoughts had loosened a little, and continued to persuade with his hands: "Okay, let's think about it from another angle." ”

"As long as you go with her, she says she'll give me money to go to college. If you leave with her, my life will be a lot easier. Since Zhong Nian was worried about herself in the end, she directly considered it from her own side and let Zhong Nian know that he and Zhao Qian going abroad would have many advantages and disadvantages for both of them.

Zhong Nian still didn't speak.

"Think for yourself. Xiao Lan knew that Zhong Nian had actually changed his mind, and he was inclined to have more options to go abroad, but he didn't agree immediately because he thought about it a lot, as long as he was given a little time.

So, the next day, Zhong Nian told Xiao Lan that he agreed to go abroad with Zhao Qian. Xiao Lan contacted Zhao Qian and asked her to get together with Zhong Nian and have a good chat. She didn't intervene in the conversation between the two, and she didn't like to face sensational images and left under the banner of class.

Zhong Nian agreed to go with Zhao Qian, Zhao Qian didn't have any worries, acted quickly, and immediately went through the transfer procedures within a week, looked for a passport, booked a plane ticket, Xiao Lan helped pack his luggage, and they were ready to leave on a Saturday night. Sun Dongquan also knew the news that Zhong Nian was leaving and came to the airport to see him off.

"You kid went to the United States faster than me, you got on the board first, and when I passed, I went to you as a guest, and you have to entertain me well." ”

Sun Dongquan also came quickly, and learned the news that Zhong Nian went to the United States, although he didn't know the reason, he didn't ask or didn't ask. As soon as he arrived, he recognized Zhao Qian, this was Zhong Nian's mother. Zhong Nian's family is a bit complicated, and Sun Dongquan also understands that he came this time just to see him off, and he does not intervene in other people's family affairs.

Sun Dongquan went up and patted Zhong Nian on the shoulder, and continued to smile and said, "Are you going to that state? I'll see if I want to come to the United States to join you." ”

Zhong Nian didn't know which state in the United States he was going to, he turned his head to look at Zhao Qian, who was hitting his shoulder with his hand, and Zhao Qian replied to Sun Dongquan with a smile: "Go to New York." ”

Sun Dongquan was even happier when he heard Zhao Qian's words, and he continued to smile and said, "Okay! Then I must go to you, I have already decided to go at the end of next month." ”

"Welcome to visit. Zhao Qian replied with a smile.

The aviation broadcast had been notified to get on the plane, Zhong Nian finally looked at Xiao Lan, nodded to Xiao Lan, and said reluctantly: "Goodbye, sister." ”

For a moment, Zhong Nian didn't want to leave at all. But Xiao Lan shook his head, dispelled his thoughts, motioned for him to hurry up and board the plane, and watched Zhong Nian's figure disappear into the crowd.

……

After Zhong Nian left, Xiao Lan went home alone and found that the entire house was empty. Her current situation seems lonely and lonely to others, but she feels unusually free and relaxed, without anyone's attention, and there is no need to pretend to be Zhong Ming anymore. Without the lights on, she sat in the dark hall for a long time, and finally lay down on the couch, staring at the ceiling with her eyes open, not knowing what to think.

Suddenly, her phone rang, an unfamiliar number. After Xiao Lan answered, she didn't speak, and the other party was silent for a while, she waited for a while and hung up the phone.

Shortly after putting it down, the phone rang again. This time, the other end of the phone immediately spoke: "...... Is it Zhong Ming?" Listening to the voice, Xiao Lan knew who the person on the other end of the phone was, it was Father Zhong.

Before Zhong Nian left, in order to sign the custody transfer agreement, Zhong Nian went to see Zhong's father. Father Zhong has changed a lot, and Father Zhong, who was originally strong, became silent after a period of time in prison. Every day, I do the work arranged by the prison, because I have no money, and I have quit drinking, and the whole person is much more sober and stable.

Father Zhong signed the agreement very simply, and also cared about the lives of his sister and brother, and asked him to go to the United States to develop well and study hard. After the conversation, Zhong Nian had a slight change in his opinion of Father Zhong, so he left Xiao Lan's phone number to Father Zhong, he was afraid that Xiao Lan would be too lonely, and if Xiao Lan had something, he would not rush over immediately.

"Something?" Xiao Lan didn't talk nonsense, and simply asked him what he meant.

"It's okay......" Father Zhong felt Xiao Lan's alienation, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

"If you came to tell me that you regret it, then I will forgive you. But I hope you don't call me again, that's my request. ”

"I know......" Father Zhong was silent for a long time, and finally said dryly. Xiao Lan continued to wait, and the sound of standby came from the opposite side, and Father Zhong had already hung up.

Xiao Lan didn't know how to react, and smiled inexplicably. In his memory, although he knew that Zhong's father would get better after Zhong Ming's death, his daughter had already left, and his son had left him again, and he was really lonely.

Xiao Lan also guessed that Zhong Nian was the only one who had her phone. Zhong Nian will give him the number, which means that Zhong Nian has forgiven him, and he has not made a big mistake. In prison, he also changed himself. It's just that Xiao Lan didn't bother to tell him more, Zhong Ming might turn out him, but unfortunately she was dead.

Xiao Lan began to live alone, high school life was boring, she also achieved her goal, and the weight of the college entrance examination in her subconscious was reduced. I simply applied for a leave of absence, waited until the college entrance examination and then took the exam, and I had spare money by myself, so I began to tinker with computers and learn information technology.

No one intervened in Xiao Lan's plan, and although Sun Dongquan, as a friend, did not support it, he couldn't say anything.

There was no progress in the task, Zhong Nian was gone, and Xiao Lan would not take the initiative to find Sun Dongquan. Although it is simple to say, Sun Dongquan is also actively preparing for the exam. Sun Dongquan didn't pay much attention to Xiao Lan because of the exam preparation, and Xiao Lan was not at school, so they had less time to meet together.

Xiao Lan found something she was interested in and felt relaxed about such a day. Xiao Lan let go of her heart and was not suppressed by the task. Besides, there is no time limit for the task, as long as Sun Dongquan is alive, she has a lot of time to complete. Even if the mission fails, it doesn't matter.

The days passed like that, and it was the day when Sun Dongquan went abroad, and he was notified, Xiao Lan, as an ordinary friend, naturally wanted to give it away. Xiao Lan is ready to complete the task on this day and then submit.

She got Sun Dongquan's boarding time, went out an hour early, and took the bus to the airport to see her off. However, along the way, there was an accident on an important section of the road, and the entire road was blocked.
