Chapter 22: Beaten

It was Xiao Gang's parents who quarreled, Xiao Gang's father Qi Zhiyuan was a business owner, and his mother Zhao Ruling was a local junior high school teacher.

"Boom-boom-"

The knock on the door in the middle of the night was particularly loud, and it could be heard on the entire sixth floor, Xiaolan woke up from her sleep, Mingyan told her not to be afraid, and then tiptoed to the door and whispered, "Who?"

"Open the door, it's me. ”

Ming Yan opened the door, only to see Xiao Gang standing at the door with red and swollen eyes.

"You-" Mingyan was about to ask, Xiao Gang didn't say a word, he rushed into the room and sat on the sofa, Xiao Lan looked at his red eyes, and hurriedly asked: "Brother Xiao Gang, have you cried?"

"I want you to take care of it!" Xiao Gang said angrily.

Ming Yan handed him the pack of facial tissues on the table, but he threw it aside.

Xiaolan also smelled the smell of gunpowder on his body, quickly lifted the quilt and got out of bed, and came to the sofa in cotton slippers: "Brother Xiaogang, are your uncles and aunts quarreling again?"

Xiao Gang ignored her, but stared sideways at Ming Yan who was standing opposite, and said, "Be a soldier, help me do something tomorrow." ”

"What's the matter?" Mingyan was a little confused, and said that this arrogant guy also had times to ask for help.

"My mom said my dad and his secretary were on good terms, and they would help me find her tomorrow. ”

"And then?"

Then he threw sulfuric acid on her face and disfigured her. ”

"What, Brother Xiaogang, are you crazy?" Xiaolan looked at him with wide eyes.

Mingyan clasped his hands in front of his chest and smiled playfully: "No problem, I think you should buy more sulfuric acid." ”

"What do you mean?" Xiao Gang didn't know.

"Buy more sulfuric acid, it's best to put all of Hefei, oh, it should be said that the beautiful women in the whole country are disfigured, so that your father won't be looking for women outside." ”

Xiao Ganggang gritted his teeth: "Are you laughing at me? Believe it or not, I'll call the police to expose you now!"

Mingyan didn't eat his set, grabbed his neckline, and said, "You can go and call now, I'll wait." ”

"Aren't you afraid? You're a deserter, and you'll be shot if caught. ”

"I'm not a deserter!" Ming Yan raised his voice.

"Alright, don't be angry. Xiaolan turned her eyes to Xiao Gang: "Brother Xiaogang, impulsiveness can't solve the problem, you will only push your uncle farther and farther away if you do that, let's sit down and discuss how to save my uncle's heart." ”

Xiao Gang got up from the sofa and said coldly to Ming Yan: "As a soldier, Xiaolan has been talking about how powerful you are in front of me, but I didn't expect you to admit it." ”

"Confession?" Ming Yan laughed: "Why did I admit it? Did I say I wanted to help you?"

"You don't ——,, count yourself ruthless!" Xiao Gang turned around and left.

Looking at the back of Xiao Gang leaving, Xiao Lan asked puzzledly, "Brother Mingyan really doesn't plan to help him?"

"It's not up to us children to take care of it, okay, it's not too early, go to bed. ”

Although Xiaolan didn't understand why Mingyan, who had always been warm-hearted, suddenly became so indifferent, but Mingyan's brother was calm, and he must have a reason for doing so.

……

The morning sun shone on Xiaolan's face through the window, unable to stand the stimulation of the light, Xiaolan slowly opened her eyes, turned her head slightly, the quilt and mat on the ground had been cleaned up, but she didn't see Mingyan's shadow.

A bag of breakfast on the table was pressed with a note that read: "Girl, I'll go out to do something, wait at home and don't run around, I've already bought it early and put it on the table, remember to eat." ”

Xiaolan pursed her lips and laughed......

At dusk, Mingyan came back with a supermarket shopping bag full of books, Xiaolan opened the bag and saw that it was full of fourth-grade textbooks, she was very surprised: "Brother Mingyan, why did you come back with so many books?"

"It's all fourth-grade courses, and I think you should be able to use them, so I brought some with me. Ming Yan replied as he poured a glass of water to drink.

Xiaolan chuckled: "Brother Mingyan, have you forgotten that I am an American, alas, the curriculum in the United States is different from here, and my student status in the United States is equivalent to a junior high school degree here." ”

The water that Ming Yan had just drunk squirted out without leaking, he thought he had heard it wrong, until Xiaolan emphasized again that he had completed all the courses in junior high school, he couldn't help but sigh from the bottom of his heart, no wonder this girl knows so many things, an eight-year-old girl sometimes talks like a little adult, dare to love her for being a genius, Ming Yan felt for the first time that he was so small when he stood with her, a former scholar.

"Brother Mingyan, did you go out today to buy these books for me?"

"Theoretically, yes, but these books were not bought, they were given by teachers. Ming Yan said with a grin.

"Which teacher sent it?"

"What other teacher can there be, of course, it is our Teacher Zhao. ”

"Which Teacher Zhao?" Xiaolan was even more confused.

When Ming Yan was about to explain, Xiao Gang walked in from outside with a smile on his face, saying that his parents had specially invited Ming Yan and Xiaolan to their house for dinner.

……

After eating and returning to the residence, Xiaolan knew that Xiaogang's parents could reconcile as before, thanks to Mingyan's credit, in fact, Mingyan went out early this morning to go to two places, one is Xiaogang's mother Zhao Ruling's school, and the other is Xiaogang's father Qi Zhiyuan's company, and then Mingyan fooled the other party to the designated place to meet in the name of the other party, and he personally paid for Zhao Ruling to buy a bouquet of roses, and Qi Zhiyuan also received "Zhao Ruling" at the same time gave the tie to himself, and the conflict between the husband and wife was slowly resolved, although in the end they all knew that all this was a "trap" set by Ming Yan, but they finally gave them a chance to sit together, and after some communication, they found that all the fault was on their own.

Ming Yan took this opportunity to borrow some fourth-grade books from Zhao Ruling, Zhao Ruling very generously took out the new books in stock to him, and told him that as long as Xiaolan didn't understand anything in the course, he could come to her at any time, Qi Zhiyuan also said in front of his wife that he was willing to adopt Xiaolan as a righteous daughter and train her to go to college in the future.

Mingyan struck while the iron was hot and entrusted Qi Zhiyuan to contact Xiaolan's father abroad, but the telegram sent was lost in the sea, and the phone call was also unanswered.

Qi Zhiyuan originally planned to call the police, and his wife Zhao Ruling also felt that it should be the safest to let the police come forward to solve this problem, so that the police docking between the two countries could at least achieve twice the result with half the effort, but Xiaolan said that she was unwilling to say anything, Ming Yan also thought so at first, but he always had a hunch that there were Ma San's ears in the police station, so it was better not to trouble the police uncle unless it was absolutely necessary.

At noon the next day, Mingyan and Xiaolan were cleaning in the room, Xiaolan was responsible for cleaning the quilt and sheets, Mingyan mopping the floor and wiping the glass, the two of them were very busy, and suddenly Qi Tianyi knocked on the door panting and came in and said that Xiaogang had an accident, his head was opened, more than a dozen stitches, and he also had multiple traumatic injuries on his body, and he was now lying in the Municipal People's Hospital.
