Chapter Twenty-Five: The Continuation of Life

In the Dream café, two beautifully dressed women sit by the window. Pedestrians passing by glanced at it hurriedly and couldn't help but take a few more looks. Whoever looks at it thinks it's two little sisters drinking afternoon tea.

However, as soon as they approached them, they found that both of them were cautiously observing their surroundings, as if they would be rushed out and cut off their heads at any moment. Cappuccino on the table was already cold, and the two of them used their aura to secretly compete with each other.

The barista in the coffee shop grinds coffee with one hand and holds the coffee pot tightly with the other, staring at the window without blinking.

"How much do you want?" one of the women finally broke the silence, viciously picking up a coffee spoon and crushing the heart cream latte art on top of the cappuccino.

"I don't want money," the other woman leaned back slightly and shook her head slightly.

"And what do you want?" the woman put down the coffee spoon impatiently, not looking to mean to drink the cup of coffee.

"I didn't think about it, you called me. The other woman replied indifferently.

Both of them are smart women, and in this game, every sentence and every word must be carefully thought out, and the other party cannot see their own chess moves. If this is a game of chess, one side is handsome Qu Ge, and the other side will be Sheng America.

This is the first time that the two women have officially met, Miss Sheng and the mistress of her father, Zhao Qingzi, who is younger than herself.

Miss Sheng's expression was ugly, she stared at the cup in front of her, controlling her urge to spill coffee on Zhao Qingzi. On the other hand, Zhao Qingzi is still as calm as ever, cherishing words like gold, and refusing to say another word.

Miss Sheng stood up angrily, and Zhao Maomao, who had been watching the battle, hurriedly put down the coffee pot in his hand and rushed over. The last time Miss Sheng instructed the wicked to do such a frenzied thing to her sister, he must always be vigilant now to prevent her from being hurt again. Miss Sheng glanced at Mao Mao who was blocking Zhao Qingzi with disdain, and threatened Zhao Qingzi and said, "Zhao Qingzi, let me tell you, if something happens to my mother, you have to keep your eyes open when you sleep." It was just a small appetizer, and I wouldn't give up on that. After Miss Sheng finished speaking, she tilted her head and smiled evilly, and patted Zhao Maomao's shoulder.

"My sister doesn't have to open her eyes when she sleeps, I'll protect her. Regardless of whether your father marries my sister or not, the children in her belly are the children of our old Zhao family, and we will be responsible for ourselves. Zhao Maomao said categorically.

"Child, are you pregnant?" Miss Sheng bypassed Zhao Maomao and looked at Zhao Qingzi in surprise.

"Yes, I'm pregnant. Zhao Qingzi's expression did not change, but his two hands unconsciously blocked his stomach, ready to protect his child at any time.

"You don't even know this, so what are you looking for my sister for?" Zhao Maomao thought that Miss Sheng knew that Zhao Qingzi was pregnant with Sheng Meimei's child before she came to negotiate.

Miss Sheng ignored Zhao Maomao, she gritted her teeth and said, "You threatened my father with the evil seed in your stomach, right? I said how he insisted on divorcing my mother and marrying you as a slut." ”

"Pay attention to what you say, what is a slut, you fucking ......" Zhao Maomao rolled up his sleeves and was about to have a world tearing war with Zhao Qingzi, Zhao Qingzi pulled Maomao's clothes and motioned him to stop.

"Sit down, that's what we're supposed to talk about. Zhao Qingzi stretched out his hand and made a gesture of invitation to Miss Sheng, and Miss Sheng reluctantly sat down.

"Do you think your father is very selfish and abandoned his wife with knotted hair for a young rotten woman?" Zhao Qingzi looked into Miss Sheng's eyes and said seriously.

Miss Sheng heard Zhao Qingzi say this herself, and sneered and said, "Otherwise, do you think that your behavior of driving my mother crazy is very great? Then I will make a plaque for you, and it will say 'China's first-class dog men and women'?"

Zhao Qingzi's body trembled, but his face still did not change. She sighed and said calmly: "Why don't you never think about your father, all your father wants is a woman who is suitable for him and can live a happy life." If it weren't for your mom who kept your dad that way, then ......"

Before Zhao Qingzi finished speaking, Miss Sheng picked up the cold coffee in front of her and splashed it on Zhao Qingzi's face. Zhao Maomao on the side saw that he was about to make a move with Miss Sheng, but Zhao Qingzi stopped him.

"You don't know anything at all, you don't know my mother at all", Miss Sheng's emotions finally exploded, she roared heartbreakingly, and her hands were shaking with excitement.

"Yes, I don't know. But I hope you can think about it, are your mother's marriage to your father happy?Are you happy with your brother?" Zhao Qingzi took the dry towel handed by Zhao Maomao, "The authorities are confused, and the bystanders are clear." Even if I didn't have me, your dad would divorce your mom sooner or later."

"Hmph," Zhao Qingzi sneered, "It's so high-minded, isn't it just for money!" Miss Sheng's momentum weakened, she felt that Zhao Qingzi's mind was too mature than her age, and she couldn't provoke her to anger. Miss Sheng has no intention of fighting again, and plans to go back and reorganize her thoughts.

"Don't you have a few stinky money in your family, don't think everyone is so vulgar. Zhao Maomao couldn't help but interject.

"What? Do you want to feed the child in your sister's womb with the money from selling coffee?" Mao Mao's intervention just gave Miss Sheng a reason to leave, she rudely pushed Mao Mao away and strode out.

After Zhao Maomao watched Miss Sheng walk away, she sat next to Zhao Qingzi, put her hand on her stomach and said, "This crazy woman didn't scare my dear nephew, did she?"

Zhao Qingzi smiled, hugged Zhao Maomao and said, "His hearing shouldn't have developed well, so he can't hear you." ”

Zhao Maomao looked at Zhao Qingzi's smiling expression, felt her body temperature, and felt a lot more relieved. He understands his sister, Zhao Qingzi is actually an extremely insecure person. She always locks the doors and windows of her room when she sleeps, and if someone comes near her bed, she will wake up immediately, no matter how well she sleeps. She is like a fragile kitten, seemingly harmless, but the sharp knife hidden in the meat pad can tear open other people's hearts at any time and eat them mercilessly, and then hide in the corner and lick her blood-stained melon seeds.

Zhao Qingzi is like Cao Cao, only I am allowed to bear the world, and Hugh asks the world to bear me. Zhao Qingzi is very extreme, love and hate to the extreme, her small body lives not only a heavy metal girl who loves rock and roll, but also a quiet, smart and classical mature woman, each time the two people change very suddenly, but they can make each other feel comfortable.

Zhao Qingzi is assertive, she will not trust anyone easily. She and her shortcomings, as long as it is the person she loves, she is also right and wrong. Zhao Qingzi's philosophy is that I can bully my friends, but if others dare to touch it, they will fight with their lives.

Zhao Maomao and Zhao Qingzi live in a strict family, with rules for eating, sleeping, and even going to the toilet. Zhao's father has always believed that filial piety comes out under the stick, and every time Zhao Qingzi and Zhao Maomao do something wrong, Zhao's father will beat him without saying a word. Zhao's father is a drunkard, and after getting drunk, his originally serious facial features will become even more terrifying, his whole face will twist into a ball, and the whole family will be beaten by him.

"By the way, Mom called to urge us to go home for the New Year. Mao Mao thought of the family of the two people, and suddenly remembered her mother's phone number.

"But I don't want to go home. Zhao Qingzi frowned, touched his stomach and replied reluctantly.

"I know you don't want to see that man......" Zhao Maomao took a sip of the cold coffee on the table.

"Brother, my belly will soon get bigger and bigger, and I can't hold the fire in the paper, and I will be found when I go home. Have you forgotten how we got beaten, and if that man found out I was pregnant, he would have killed me. Zhao Qingzi said with a bitter face. She has always been very reluctant to mention her family, after all, family ugliness should not be publicized.

Qingzi was discussing with Mao Mao when she suddenly heard the cry of a child. She followed the prestige and found a little girl of four or five standing on the counter crying. After Zhao Qingzi became pregnant, under the influence of hormones, maternal love was overflowing, she walked over and picked up the little girl, and asked her what was wrong, the little girl said aggrievedly that her father came in to buy coffee and bread, and then disappeared.

Aoko carried the little girl to her seat, waited for her father with her, and asked Maomao to bring milk and bread to the little girl.

"Come, drink some milk first, Daddy will come back in a while, and the baby won't cry. Zhao Qingzi said gently.

The little girl listened to Zhao Qingzi's words very much, and bit the small bread in Zhao Qingzi's arms. Qingzi kissed the little girl dotingly, gently scratching her little belly to make her happy.

"Niuniu, you're here, I didn't tell you to sit there and wait for Dad. A young man came unkempt and looked like he hadn't shaved in days. The man stretched out his hand and was about to take away the little girl in Aoko's arms, but Aoko frowned and dodged.

Qingzi glared at the man, lowered her head and asked the little girl gently, "Baby, tell Auntie, do you know him?"

The little girl looked at Aoko and replied in a milky voice, "Yes, she is my father." ”

"Yes, yes, I'm his dad. The man stretched out his hand to signal the little girl to come over, but the little girl turned her head and hugged Aoko's little arm, tightening it tighter.

"I want Mom. The little girl trusts this strange aunt very much, and she is coquettish with her father in Aoko's arms. The man's eyes moistened suddenly, and he choked up and said, "Niuniu, didn't Dad tell you that Mom went to a far away place and won't come back for the time being." ”

Won't be coming back...... Aoko probably understood what happened to the little girl, no wonder the man appeared in the café with the child in such an image.

"Niu Niu," Aoko picked up the little girl and placed it on the coffee table. She looked into the little girl's eyes and said seriously, "Your mother didn't go far away. You look at the people around you, either here or there. But your mom now has superpowers, and she's everywhere. ”

Qingzi's words not only attracted the little girl, but the man and Zhao Maomao were also listening attentively.

"When you sleep, she guards you by your side. She stares at you behind you as you walk. She's there for you all the time. You want to see her, just try to think about her before going to bed, and she will see you in your dreams. ”

"But I don't want my mother to have superpowers...... "The little girl said aggrievedly, pouting.

"But Mom is a big hero. Heroes have the responsibility of heroes, just like Dad has to disappear for a period of time every day to make money for Niu Niu to buy good food. Auntie believes that Niuniu will definitely understand your mother, right?" Qingzi looked at the little girl thinking thoughtfully, and pretended to be embarrassed and said, "Hmm...... What to do, if Niuniu doesn't understand, your mother will be very unhappy every day. ”

When the little girl heard this, she thought about it seriously and tilted her head and said, "Okay, I don't want to make my mother unhappy." I understand Mom. ”

When the man heard this, he happily hugged the little girl in his arms and gently said thank you to Aoko. Qingzi smiled at the man, but the man suddenly began to cry, probably suppressed for a long time. Also, when everyone faces the death of the person they love the most, there will be a dazed stage at the beginning. Because of the need to notify other family members, to get a death certificate, to choose a cemetery, to cremate the remains, to have such a young child to take care of, so many things to do, remembrance and grief have become a luxury.

After the man left with the child in his arms, Maomao said to Qingzi, "You will be a good mother in the future." ”

Aoko touched her stomach and said with a firm smile, "I will." ”
