Chapter 31: Bad Dad
Seeing that she turned around to leave, Zhan Xingchuan took a deep breath: "Thank you, I'll come back the morning after tomorrow." ”
Meaning, he won't stay here to spend Chinese New Year's Eve with them.
However, Ran Xixi was quite surprised, she subconsciously turned her head, looked at Zhan Xingchuan, wanted to speak several times, and finally said: "I'm afraid that Rui Rui will not be used to spending the Spring Festival without you and him, in case of trouble, I don't want the child to be on fire for the New Year." If you don't have anything special, why don't you celebrate the New Year with us? ”
After a pause, she suddenly remembered something, and added, "However, I just proposed, not forced. I know you have someone else in your family right now, so be it. ”
After being reminded by Ran Xixi, Zhan Xingchuan also reacted, and in the recent past, Yu Youwei has taken Yaoyao to live in her home.
"I haven't been back for a long time, and since my leg has healed, I've been in the company and occasionally go to the hotel. ”
The mother and daughter are not likable in their own way, not to mention that Zhan Xingchuan will not have nowhere to go except home, even if he really has nowhere to go, he will definitely not live under the same roof with the two of them.
Listening to his words, Ran Xixi was noncommittal.
She still remembers Zhan Xingchuan yelling at herself in the office, saying that these things have nothing to do with you. In this case, she won't ask even a word more, no matter how bad she is, she has to have this memory.
"I'm not going to spend the New Year with them. ”
Seeing that Ran Xixi didn't speak, Zhan Xingchuan frowned fiercely, as if swearing, without any hesitation in his tone.
She nodded and went straight upstairs.
The next morning, families were already preparing for the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner. Whether it is a dignitary or an ordinary person, on this day, the family will sit together, eat a hearty meal, tell the hard work of the whole year, and at the same time look forward to a happy life in the new year, which is a custom that has been handed down for thousands of years.
After lunch, Zhan Xingchuan took Zhan Ruijue to paste the Spring Festival couplets.
Although this small villa is not big, it can go back and forth, and it is necessary to paste several pairs of Spring Festival couplets, plus more than a dozen blessing words, and the amount of work is really not small.
"Rui Rui was only so high last year, and it has grown so much in a year. ”
After comparing it, Zhan Xingchuan was also very surprised, and even said that the child really grew up too fast.
Sister Li, who was helping on the side, said with a smile: "That's not it, if you go for half a year, when Rui Rui comes back, I'm afraid it will change again." ”
She was still laughing at first, and as she spoke, she couldn't help but feel sad and her eyes were red.
"It's only half a year, don't be too sad, you are here with Brother Chen and Sister-in-law Chen, planting flowers and raising fish, and the time is very fast. ”
Zhan Xingchuan knew that she was reluctant to have children, so he persuaded softly.
Sister Li and Zhan Ruijue have been together for even longer than him and Ran Xixi, like half a mother. Zhan Xingchuan offered to give her a salary increase several times, but she refused to accept it, saying that she had already received a lot of wages and could never increase it.
Patronizing and talking to Sister Li, Zhan Xingchuan pasted the Spring Festival couplets a little crooked, causing Zhan Ruijue next to him to shout again and again: "It's crooked! Dad, don't speak, it's all crooked! To the left, then to the left! It's high again!"
He waved his little hands, shouted and shouted, gestured left and right, and commanded back and forth.
Zhan Xingchuan followed his son's instructions, to the left for a while, to the right for a while, and repeated it several times, but he didn't pay attention, stepped on one foot a little, and the whole person fell off the chair with his feet!
If it was before, as an adult, he would at most stumble for a while, and nothing would have happened at all. However, the injured leg couldn't use its strength, but at this moment it became a burden, and while Zhan Xingchuan fell, he also overturned the chair and let it fall on his body.
"Daddy!"
Zhan Ruijue was the first to react, screaming and rushing forward, and fell on Zhan Xingchuan's body.
Sister Li also reacted, and hurriedly stepped forward, trying to help him up.
"It's fine, it's just that one foot isn't steady. Don't be afraid, Daddy is fine. ”
Zhan Xingchuan gasped and said with difficulty, and reached out to touch his son's head, trying to squeeze a smile out of him.
Luckily, he wore a pair of cashmere pants, and if he wore only one pair of pants, he would probably hurt his flesh. However, despite this, Zhan Xingchuan also felt that the scene just now was indeed very thrilling, and the place where he had been injured was not very comfortable at the moment, and there was a feeling of being torn and pulled.
But he didn't want to show it in front of his son, so, after a short rest, Zhan Xingchuan tried to stand up and moved that leg by the way.
"What's wrong? something is falling, I hear a voice......"
Ran Xixi, who rushed out in a hurry, fell on Zhan Ruijue's body at first sight, and when she saw that he was fine, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and then looked at Zhan Xingchuan again, and saw that there were traces of scratches on his pants, and her face suddenly became solemn again.
"I didn't step on the chair and fell down. ”
Sister Li said on the side, helping Zhan Xingchuan dust off her trouser leg a few times, and then she took Zhan Ruijue's hand and left, leaving only him and Ran Xixi.
"Why don't you go to the hospital and have a look, what if the bone cracks?"
Ran Xixi took a step forward, bent down to check for a moment, and then raised his head and asked with a worried expression.
The doctor has told him countless times before, Zhan Xingchuan's leg is now a high-risk existence, and he can't be knocked or bumped, if there is another accident, the whole leg will be completely wasted, and people have to rely on a wheelchair to move, this is not a joke after all, it is a big deal, and it is not trivial.
That's why Ran Xixi is so nervous at the moment. After all, Zhan Xingchuan had a car accident to save her, in case he was in a wheelchair for the rest of his life and became disabled, no matter what happened in the past, she owed him a favor in the future.
"It's really okay, you see that this chair is only a few dozen centimeters from the ground, how can there be anything. It's just that I'm not as flexible as I used to be, otherwise I wouldn't have fallen if I jumped casually. ”
Shaking his head, Zhan Xingchuan said with some self-deprecation, glancing at the chair next to him.
"I'll come, you help me watch. ”
Ran Xixi straightened his chair, picked up the unfinished Spring Festival couplets and blessing characters, and continued to fight the work that Xingchuan had not completed just now.
"A little higher on the right...... OK. ”
Zhan Xingchuan took a few steps back, helping her see if there was any alignment.
Next, the two of them cooperated tacitly, and soon pasted the red and golden Spring Festival couplets and blessing characters on the door, garage door and door, and they looked around, and they all felt that the festive taste was suddenly stronger.
"Although Chinatown will also post Spring Festival couplets, there is still a big difference between spending the Spring Festival abroad and at home. ”
Ran Xixi looked up and blurted out.
She was reading the word Fu, and the man next to her was looking at her: "From then on, they will all celebrate the New Year at home." ”
Chinese New Year at home.
Four words, it is simple, but where is it simple.
After another moment of silence, Ran Xixi took the initiative to ask, "Have you any news about him recently?"
This "he" refers to Diao Chengxi, who has tried to call his original mobile phone number several times, but she can't be contacted at all, and it has become an empty number. Since the last time he owed a large amount of gambling debts in South America and had to sell the Diao family's mansion, Ran Xixi has never heard of Diao Chengxi's recent situation.
Now that it's about to be another year, at this moment of family reunion, she suddenly wants to know where this man is.
Zhan Xingchuan was stunned for a moment, and finally reacted, who she was asking.
"He asked me for another sum of money, saying that he was going to talk about the diamond mine business. I have already told him about the current situation of the 'Realm of Love', and it is true that it is not profitable, which is the truth. After he heard this, he asked me to give him one last chance, and he said that he would definitely find a way to keep the brand, because it was specially set up by him in honor of his wife, and he didn't want to watch it end in his lifetime. ”
Ran Xixi seemed to have heard a big joke, she showed a disdainful smile, and said coldly: "You don't really believe him, do you?" Heh, when my mother was still alive, he cheated more than once, and now that people have been dead for so long, he still puts the word 'commemoration' on his lips, which is really ridiculous." Believe me, your money is just a meat bun and a dog, and you will never come back. ”
Listening to her words, Zhan Xingchuan suddenly retracted the ease between his eyebrows, and said with a straight face: "I know you have always been suspicious of him, but it is a big deal for a husband to kill his wife with his own hands." As a man, I don't think your father will be able to do it, after all, it is the woman he once loved deeply, and it is a big deal to break up and part ways, why kill people?"
Being asked by him for a while, he didn't know how to answer, Ran Xixi bit his lip and stopped talking.
She really always suspected that Diao Chengxi killed Qiu Jing first, and then killed Ran Tianze. But the death of these two people has been separated for too long, if it is really a premeditated murder, it can only show that Diao Chengxi is too calm.
Zhan Xingchuan was just about to speak, when the mobile phone in his trouser pocket rang.
He touched it, took out his phone, and when he fell just now, fortunately he didn't crush it.
The phone was called by Xiao Liu, the nanny of the Diao family, and as soon as Zhan Xingchuan picked it up, he heard her shouting breathlessly: "Mr. Zhan, I'm Xiao Liu! Go home quickly, there is a woman here who refuses to leave at the door, yelling, I have to see Yaoyao! Miss Yu is not at home, and the mobile phone can't get through, and a few of us don't dare to let the woman in! I have already called the property, and the person on duty said that the security guard will be sent over immediately, but she hasn't come yet......
After she finished speaking, Zhan Xingchuan immediately asked, "Woman, is she in her forties, with long curly hair, and a Yangcheng accent?"
Xiao Liu hurriedly said yes.
He guessed correctly, it was Zhao Yuhong who came to the door to see the child.
"Don't open the door yet, I'll go back right away. ”
Zhan Xingchuan didn't want to make a big deal out of it, so he hung up the phone in a hurry and prepared to go home.
As soon as he heard that he was leaving, Zhan Ruijue ran out like a smoke, hugged Zhan Xingchuan's thighs, and kept begging: "Dad, don't go, Dad, don't go! There is something delicious! Celebrate the New Year together......
Although he didn't know where he was going in a hurry, Ran Xixi immediately pulled Zhan Ruijue over and coaxed him softly.
Who knows, Zhan Ruijue, who has always been obedient, suddenly blushed, only to see him clenching his two small fists tightly, shouting: "You have other children, you don't want me anymore! You are a bad father! I want to go abroad, I want to go abroad!"
