"Not really. Cheng Lie thought for a while and said, "The situation in her family is a bit complicated. ”

"How complicated?" Cheng Meng was completely aroused by his curiosity.

Cheng Lie said: "Don't ask, this is your sister-in-law's family matter." ”

"But big brother, didn't you just say that everyone is a family, isn't my sister-in-law's family affair?" Cheng Meng tilted his head and said.

Knowing that she was messing around, Cheng Lie still couldn't do anything about her, so he simply sat down on the chair next to him, and Cheng Meng hurriedly sat down next to Cheng Lie when he saw this, listening to it.

"Your sister-in-law's mother separated from her father when she was a child, and then her father married her stepmother, and the stepmother gave birth to a daughter, and your sister-in-law was not favored at home. Cheng Lie said succinctly.

"Why?" Cheng Meng stared at a pair of big black crystal-like eyes, with a completely incomprehensible look: "Isn't it good to have two girls in the family?" I always dream of having a sister or sister, and my mother is unwilling to give birth to one, it's a pity." If I had a younger sister, I would have dressed her up every day. ”

Cheng Lie looked at the naïve Cheng Meng, and said helplessly: "You are a mother to give birth to a sister for you, are you playing as a doll? Fortunately, our mother didn't give birth, otherwise you would have been spoiled." ”

"How could it be!" Cheng Meng said, "Anyway, I will be very good to my sister." ”

"Okay, but don't worry, you can't have a sister. Cheng Lie ruthlessly punctured Cheng Meng's illusions.

Cheng Meng, who suddenly found that the topic was off track, hurriedly said: "If you don't have it, it's not good, then big brother, tell me quickly, why is my sister-in-law not favored at home?"

"Because her stepmother likes her, and her sister doesn't like her either. They are afraid that your sister-in-law will compete with her sister for favor. Cheng Lie really felt very tired of explaining to a little girl like Cheng Meng.

Cheng Meng said thoughtfully: "So that's the case." ”

"Now you know?" Cheng Lie deliberately teased Cheng Meng, "Do you still want a sister?"

Cheng Meng had a very struggling expression on his face.

Cheng Lie felt amused, Cheng Meng already knew that he couldn't have a sister, but he still couldn't help but seriously consider this hypothetical issue.

Cheng Meng thought about it for a long time before she decided: "I still want a sister." She's so much younger than me, I don't have to compete with her for favor, if you like her more, you like her. ”

Cheng Lie rubbed Cheng Meng's head and said, "Silly girl." ”

Cheng Meng thought for a while and said, "My sister-in-law used to have a hard time, right?"

Cheng Lie was stunned, as if he didn't expect Cheng Meng to say this, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.

Was Tang Xiao very hard before?

It seems that Tang Xiao almost never puts the word hard work on his lips.

When I first met her, she was capable and unsmiling, and she was called by the bell again and again in the middle of the night to go to the hospital to work overtime, and she never complained.

Her stepmother and sister treated her very badly, but when Tang Mi was homeless, she still took her in soft-heartedly.

What a resilient woman she is.

Whose fault is it that such a woman can become what she is now?

Cheng Lie returned upstairs, the bedroom door was closed, he reached out to knock on the door, but hesitated for a second, and finally withdrew his hand.

After a while, Cheng Lie, who was reading a book in the study, vaguely heard a knock on the door, and walked outside to open the door to see that the person who came turned out to be Cheng Meng.

"Why don't you sleep yet?" Cheng Lie looked down at Cheng Meng in pajamas, "Sleep too late and be careful not to grow tall." ”

Cheng Meng ignored the intimidation of the eldest brother, walked to the sofa in the living room with her head down and sat down, looked around and said, "Big brother, where is my sister-in-law?"

Cheng Lie glanced at the closed bedroom door and said, "In the bedroom, you should have slept." Mengmeng, do you have something to do with her?"

Cheng Meng's eyelashes trembled, and she lowered her head and twisted her fingers as white as jade.

Cheng Lie thought that the little girl couldn't sleep because of some emotional troubles, so he made her a cup of hot milk and handed it over, and then sat down on the sofa opposite her.

"If you have any troubles, tell my brother. The magnetic and elegant voice gave people a sense of peace of mind, and Cheng Meng stretched out a hand to hold the steaming milk cup in front of her, and the warm feeling in her hand made her relax.

"Brother, I want to tell you something. Cheng Meng said softly.

"Well, let's talk about it. Cheng Lie leaned back on the sofa, looking lazy and casual.

After Cheng Meng just returned to his room, he felt uneasy about his conscience when he thought about it, and he couldn't sleep after tossing and turning.

At first, she wanted to use her eldest brother to make Tang Xiao deflated, but she didn't expect things to become so serious, and later she heard her eldest brother talk about Tang Xiao's life experience, and she couldn't help but sympathize with Tang Xiao.

Cheng Meng herself is not a complicated and scheming girl, she still retains her kind and innocent nature in her heart, and she made Cheng Lie blame Tang Xiao for a while.

She tried to tell herself that if it weren't for Tang Xiao, the old woman, how could her dating with Bai Luning be broken by her mother. In the final analysis, Tang Xiao was the biggest promoter of her breakup with Bai Luning, she should have hated her, even if she retaliated against her and let her have a conflict with her eldest brother, it was just a report and a report.

But one yard to one yard, in order to take revenge on her, do you have to turn yourself into a person who reverses right and wrong?

The eldest brother taught her and Cheng Feng from an early age that they don't have to have much achievement in the future, but people must at least be honest and kind, and they are sorry for their conscience. One can fool anyone, but not oneself.

Although he was afraid that his eldest brother would be angry with him when he knew the truth, Cheng Meng finally decided to confess to his eldest brother.

However, admitting the mistakes you made is more difficult than you imagined.

Who wants to honestly admit their mistakes and deny themselves?

Cheng Meng held the warm milk, put it to her lips and took a sip, and slowly spoke under Cheng Lie's caring gaze: "Big brother, in fact, what happened to the gym just now...... It's me who is wrong. ”

"Huh?" Cheng Lie was slightly stunned.

recalled Tang Xiao's reaction just now, could he really blame her?

Cheng Meng took a deep breath and plucked up the courage to say: "Big brother, I'm sorry, it's all my fault, my sister-in-law didn't actually wronged me, she didn't do anything to me at all...... It's all my own ......."

Cheng Lie furrowed his long handsome eyebrows and said, "What the hell happened?"

Once he spoke, it didn't seem to be as difficult as he imagined to confess the truth, Cheng Meng gritted his teeth and said, "Here's the thing...... Some time ago I made a bet with my sister-in-law at the gym that if I won she would leave unconditionally as soon as I showed up at the gym, and if she won, I would have to call my sister-in-law as soon as I saw her......"

Cheng Lie laughed: "What are you guys? You are such a big person, aren't you too naïve? So, who won in the end?"

Cheng Meng said suddenly: "It's the sister-in-law who won......"

Cheng Lie raised his eyebrows in surprise: "She actually won." ”

Cheng Meng continued: "At the gym at night, my sister-in-law forced me to fulfill my contract, and I was angry for a while, so I didn't tell the truth...... Big brother, I'm sorry. Don't blame your sister-in-law. ”

Cheng Meng had an apologetic expression on his face, but Cheng Lie's heart was full of remorse at the moment.

After Cheng Meng left, Cheng Lie came to the bedroom door, reached out and knocked on it, but there was no reaction inside.

"Xiaoxiao?" Cheng Lie reached out and knocked on the door again and said, "Xiaoxiao, open the door, it's me." ”

Cheng Lie stood at the door and waited for nearly a minute, the door opened, and Tang Xiao appeared at the door, looking at him expressionlessly: "Something?"

Cheng Lie looked down at Tang Xiao, only to see that she was wearing a dark purple pajamas, revealing her delicate collarbones, and exuding a sweet smell of freshly bathed on her body.

His tongue suddenly dried up, and he didn't seem to have touched her in days.

"Xiaoxiao, Meng Meng told me what happened just now, I'm sorry, I misunderstood you. Cheng Lie said.

Tang smiled lightly: "It's okay." ”

Seeing that Tang Xiao had no intention of letting him in, Cheng Lie frowned slightly and said, "Are you still angry?"

Tang Xiao pulled the corners of his mouth and said, "Don't dare." ”

"Don't dare?"

Tang smiled and said, "How dare I be angry with you as a family." ”

"Don't be so weird. Cheng Lie frowned and said, "Can you talk well?"

"Didn't I speak well?" Tang Xiao asked rhetorically.

Cheng Lie said: "Xiaoxiao, let's sit down and have a good talk." ”

"What are you talking about?" Tang Xiao felt a little ridiculous, they had all reached this point, what else could they talk about?

Talking about divorce?

She almost forgot that she was not a daughter-in-law recognized by the Cheng family, and she was still on a "probationary period".

"Talk about the problem between me and you. Cheng Lie said in a deep voice.

"The problem between us?" Tang laughed at himself, "The biggest problem between us, isn't it that I am not worthy of you to have a family? Your mother has reminded me over and over again, do you want to remind me again?"

"You know I didn't mean that. Cheng Lie said: "Xiaoxiao, don't you think you and Pei Yuansheng are getting too close?"

Tang smiled and said in surprise: "So, you think I betrayed you and cuckolded you?"

Cheng Lie looked at her with dark eyes, and the look in his eyes was complicated and difficult to distinguish. Tang smiled and felt amused.

If you don't speak, you just acquiesce?

In his eyes, she is the kind of woman who is water-based poplar.

"If you are so determined that the person I like is Pei Yuansheng, then it's better to divorce. Tang Xiao said with a broken jar.

The ink in Cheng Lie's eyes deepened: "Tang Xiao, you've been waiting for this opportunity to say this, haven't you?"

Tang laughed "ha", took a deep breath and said, "I'm tired, if you want a divorce, then divorce." Really, Cheng Yeol, I've done enough for you, I don't want to go any further. Look what I look like now? A standard resentful woman, no—an abandoned woman. ”

Cheng Lie was silent for a long time and said, "I won't let you go - if you really want to leave so much." ”

Tang Xiao's black and white eyes looked at him fixedly: "Cheng Lie, what do you mean?"

Cheng Lie said: "Literally. ”
