Xiao Mubai returned home thinking about his thoughts, and after opening the door, he found that the lights were on in the house, and then Gu Mingsheng and Ding Lan came out of the kitchen one after the other, the two of them were wearing aprons, and they seemed to be busy cooking.

"I'm back, let's wash your hands and eat. Xiao's mother said, and then went into the kitchen with Gu Mingsheng.

Seeing such a warm scene, Xiao Mubai felt that his soul had been washed. He stood in the doorway and watched his parents come and go, sometimes bringing food from the kitchen to the dining room, sometimes setting up utensils at the table.

The room was softly lit, and the scene of his parents busy preparing meals flashed in front of his eyes like a movie, deeply imprinted in his mind. It is precisely because of this warm scene that Xiao Mubai can find a way out in the gloomy days.

"What are you doing in a daze? Hurry up and eat. Gu Mingsheng saw that Xiao Mubai had been standing at the door and did not come in, so he greeted him.

Xiao Mubai hooked his lips and said with a smile: "I'll be here soon." His smile is very warm, maybe the children who grow up in this kind of family will form a character that is diametrically opposed to Lin Manshu.

"I stewed chicken soup today, you work so hard, drink more and replenish your nutrition. After Xiao Mubai sat down, Xiao's mother served him chicken soup for the night, which was foiled by shiitake mushrooms and green vegetables, which looked delicious.

Xiao Mubai took the chicken soup, tasted it, and said very face-savingly: "It tastes very good." ”

"Yes, lawyer Lin will like such a delicious chicken soup. Gu Mingsheng said.

"Lawyer Lin?" Xiao Mubai asked, not quite understanding why he suddenly brought the topic to Lin Manshu.

Xiao's mother saw her son's puzzlement, put down the chopsticks in her hand, and explained: "Your uncle and I went to Lawyer Lin's house today and sent her some chicken soup. ”

"That's right, a little fat is the only way to be healthy, and it won't be so hard to have children in the future. Gu Mingsheng also said.

Now the old couple really treats Lin Manshu as a daughter-in-law, and it seems that they really like Lin Manshu. However, Lin Manshu doesn't seem to be an easy person to like, after all, she is often cold. Maybe this is the so-called eye edge, the family has long been together.

Xiao Mubai was really helpless after hearing this, and said, "Please don't do this in the future, how strange it is." ”

"What's so strange, Mr. Lin is so happy to see us. Gu Mingsheng said unashamedly.

Xiao Mubai ruthlessly debunked it, and muttered, "It's strange to be happy." ”

It seems that Xiao Mubai still understands Lin Manshu a little. However, although Lin Manshu was not happy or unhappy, she still accepted the chicken soup.

"Wow, there's even chicken soup, did you make it?" asked Han Yu, looking at the chicken soup on the table.

"No, someone else sent it. Lin Manshu said with the dishes and chopsticks on the table.

Xiao Hanyu was very surprised when he heard this, and asked, "Someone actually brought you chicken soup? ”

Lin Manshu put the chicken soup in front of Xiao Hanyu and said, "That's why I let you drink it first." ”

Xiao Hanyu looked like he was about to be heroic and righteous, and said, "Okay, then I'll sacrifice my life to try chicken soup." After saying that, he solemnly picked up the spoon and tasted it.

Lin Manshu looked at the change in Xiao Hanyu's rich expression and asked, "How is it?"

"Super delicious. Xiao Hanyu gave a thumbs up and praised.

The atmosphere in Lin Manshu's house is not the same as that of Xiao Mubai's family, perhaps because Lin Manshu's personality is too cold, and even the atmosphere in the home is cold. Although there is a living treasure of Xiaohanyu, it can't completely drive the atmosphere, it just makes Lin Manshu look less lonely.

The night slipped away quietly in the process of the two families eating, if you put together the picture of the two families eating, it is probably two worlds.

Xiao Mubai felt that the pursuit of Lin Manshu still couldn't stop. Although Lin Manshu's words seemed to have completely rejected his heart, he still couldn't control his heart and his feet.

No, the day after Lin Manshu refused his invitation to go on a date, Xiao Mubai went to Lin Manshu's house.

Xiao Mubai went to the door of Lin Manshu's villa and saw a gray-haired couple walking back and forth outside the villa, feeling a little strange in his heart, but he didn't pay too much attention to it.

As soon as he was about to go in, the couple came up to talk to him, and the man asked him, "Is this lawyer Lin Manshulin's house?"

"Well, yes, do you have something to do with Lawyer Lin?" Xiao Mubai said and looked at her watch, and said, "What should I do? Now that she has gotten off work and doesn't deal with work externally, you can come back tomorrow." ”

"No, it's not ......," the woman hurriedly waved her hand and said, "We didn't come to consult Lawyer Lin on legal matters. ”

"Who are the two ......?" Xiao Mubai asked.

"We are Man-sook's parents and came to see her. Mother Lin said.

"Ah~" When Xiao Mubai heard that it was Lin Manshu's parents, he couldn't help but panic, and hurriedly greeted: "Hello uncle and aunt, I am a friend of Lawyer Lin, my name is Xiao Mubai, I met for the first time, I hope I didn't leave a bad impression on the second elder." ”

Dad Lin smiled and said, "No, no." Can you take us in to see Man-sook?"

"Of course you can, please inside. Xiao Mubai said and led the second elder into the courtyard of the villa.

Lin Manshu's villa is very quiet, with a lot of green plants in the courtyard, tables and chairs, and a large parasol on it, which can provide shade and rain protection. In addition, there are small flowers blooming on the ground, which are said to be among the green grass, which inevitably makes people take a few more looks. Lin Manshu's parents were also relieved to see their daughter living in such an environment.

Walking into the courtyard, Xiao Mubai remembered and asked, "Doesn't uncle and aunt know that Manshu lives here?"

Of course they didn't know, because Lin Manshu wouldn't tell them this, and she wouldn't choose to meet them. It's just that in front of outsiders, Lin Manshu's parents didn't mention the impasse in their relationship with Lin Manshu, and fooled them with the reason that "Manshu only moved recently, and we are not familiar with it yet".

Xiao Mubai didn't think much about this reason, because Lin Manshu had indeed only lived in this place for a short time.

"Jingle Bell...... Jingle ......" Xiao Mubai rang the doorbell.

It didn't take long for someone to open the door, and the person who guarded the door was just Lin Manshu. If it was the door that Xiao Hanyu looked at, the result might be much better.

After seeing Lin Manshu, Xiao Mubai said as if inviting merit: "Your parents came to see you, they didn't find a place just now, but fortunately they ran into me." ”

Lin Manshu saw her parents after looking at the door, and her already cold face could be said to be freezing at this time. She directly ignored Xiao Mubai's words, looked at her parents and asked, "Who let you come?"

Xiao Mubai heard the problems in Lin Manshu's attitude, and said: "Lawyer Lin, you can't talk to your parents like this, they will be sad." ”

Lin Manshu looked at Xiao Mubai coldly and asked, "Who are you? Why did you teach me a lesson? Why did you bring them here?" At first, her words were as cold as usual, and the latter sentence was shouted out directly and emotionally.

"Manshu, don't blame him, it's our ......" Mother Lin saw that Lin Manshu was angry and quickly explained.

"Don't talk to me. Lin Manshu said directly and unceremoniously, her angry tone was like seeing an enemy.

"No, how can you ......" Xiao Mubai couldn't stand Lin Manshu's attitude, he felt that although Lin Manshu had a cold personality, he was not such an unfilial person.

But before he could finish his words, Lin Manshu interrupted him and said in a cold tone, "Get out." Get out now. ”

Xiao Mubai didn't understand why Lin Manshu was like this, so he didn't go out, but stood at the door and was in a stalemate with Lin Manshu.

"Get out!" Lin Man-sook raised her voice and emphasized again, her voice clearly angry.

Before Lin Manshu collapsed, Xiao Hanyu heard the voice and ran out to see, as soon as he saw Lin Manshu's parents, he knew what the situation was now. In order not to continue to stimulate Lin Manshu, Xiao Hanyu hurriedly pulled Xiao Mubai out, and said, "Come with me first." ”

After Xiao Mubai and Xiao Hanyu left, Lin Manshu and her parents were left. The two old men looked a little embarrassed and uncomfortable, with tears in their eyes. Is it regret, or is it heartache? or both.

"Manshu......" Father Lin affectionately held Lin Manshu's name.

"Don't call me by name, don't talk to me, and don't appear in front of me again. I will never forgive you in my life. Lin Manshu returned to normal slightly, and she was trying her best to suppress the pain and anger in her heart. She thinks that her best state is not to get angry with her parents.

"I know, it's because we're sorry for you, we're sorry for Huijing. Father Lin said, his tone was very earnest.

"Not only did you feel sorry for him, but you killed him. Lin Manshu's tone was cold, and every word that entered the heart of the second elder was a cold knife, deeply inserted in the most painful place.

Huijing's death was a pain in Lin Manshu's heart, so why wasn't it a pain in the heart of the second elder? It was a thorn that pierced deep into the hearts of Lin Manshu and the second elder, and it couldn't be pulled out, and Lin Manshu didn't think of pulling that thorn out. The more time passed, the more painful the sting became, and the pain spread through the heart, stimulating other wounds to hurt as well. And the more painful the wound, the clearer she remembered it.

It's been seven years, and Huijing's death has been entangled in Lin Manshu's heart, disturbing her heart day and night. At that time, Lin Manshu felt that life had lost its meaning, and there was nothing left in her heart except hatred and pain.
