12. Chapter XII
Who can tell me how strong I have to be to dare to forget.
- "The Moon at That Time"
Xiao Zekai didn't know why, he had respect for Xu Mian, but on the other hand, he had more resentment because of other things.
A few years ago, when he learned that Xiao Yueqi liked Xu Mian, he could accept it, after all, the two grew up as childhood sweethearts, but after Xu Mian learned about it, he began to deliberately alienate Xiao Yueqi, and got closer to Chu Xinwei, and Xiao Yueqi left a foreign country in a fit of anger, and has not come back a few times until now.
But after he provoked Chu Xinwei, he went abroad to study alone, but when he came back, he brought a seed that he didn't know where to come from, saying that it was his son.
Why did he provoke others, but he could pat his ass and walk away as if he was fine?
When they were young, their sister and brother had a very good relationship with Xu Mian, after all, they grew up together, Xu Mian's parents died early, and his mother Gu Anran took pity on him and took him in.
They have known some of the past events of the previous generation from the attitude of the people around them towards Xu Mian since they were children, for example, Xu Mian is the child of her mother's ex-husband, and she was born of cheating in marriage.
At first, after Xiao Zekai knew about this matter, he had some contemptuous feelings in his heart, and he couldn't imagine how good his mother was, so that he could put this thorn in his failed marriage by his side.
Therefore, since then, whenever someone praises Xu Mian in front of him, or a girl entrusts him to deliver a love letter, he will always deliberately and with an almost malicious tone to inform everyone that Xu Mian is a small wild species.
He was too good, the person who trampled him on the soles of his feet everywhere, he was jealous and envious, and just attacked him with such despicable means, until one day, after he finished saying this, he turned his head and saw Xu Mian looking at him coldly behind him.
He was a little nervous in his heart, he even thought that Xu Mian would come up and fight with him, but he didn't do anything, looked at him indifferently and left.
Afterwards, my sister Xiao Yueqi was very unhappy and told him, "If you do this again in the future, I won't recognize you as a younger brother." ”
Xiao Yueqi likes Xu Mian, Xiao Zekai can see this problem by moving his toes, he thinks that if Xu Mian can become his brother-in-law one day, how can he not get along with him too ugly.
Later, when he grew up, the relationship between the two gradually improved, and he admired Xu Mian more and more, this man is all praised, and people are admired from the heart, he does things vigorously and resolutely, and his means are sharp, so he has reached today's height as a fledgling over the years, without any external force.
A few years ago, he went abroad to study, and after returning to China, he worked in a star-rated hotel in the city, and later sat in the position of vice president of the hotel, and he did not stay, resigned resolutely, and co-founded a fast chain hotel, and now its chain stores have at least 100, almost all over the country's first-tier cities.
——
Here, Jing Yu took Xu Jiashu around for a while, and when he passed a Texas, his eyes were about to stare at it, Jing Yu looked at it and hesitated: "Do you want to eat this?" ”
Xu Jiashu raised his head, his eyes flashed with light, and he asked in surprise, "Is it okay?" ”
Jing Yu nodded, "If you want to eat, my sister invites you to eat." ”
Xu Jiashu, who was still very excited, lowered his head again and said awkwardly: "But Dad doesn't allow me to eat this." ”
Jing Yu was embarrassed, she didn't expect this child to listen to her father's words, she was slightly stunned for a few seconds, Xu Jiashu raised his head, and his dark eyes looked at her intently.
Jing Yu really couldn't imagine what kind of scene Xu Mian was like when he was a father, and she couldn't imagine what kind of mentality he had to take care of such a big child.
"Don't worry, I won't tell your dad, and it won't be okay to eat once." She comforted Xu Jiashu.
Xu Jiashu really let go of many of his father's daily ear and face orders for him, and thought in his heart, it should be okay to eat once, right?
He stretched out his white little finger, "Then you are not allowed to tell my father?" ”
Jing Yu nodded very solemnly, stretched out her little fingers, one big and one small fingers pulled together, she read the words, "The hook is not allowed to change for a hundred years." ”
"Whoever becomes a puppy is a puppy." Xu Jiashu added seriously.
Jing Yu had a black line on the door of her head, and she was speechless for a moment, she took Xu Jiashu's little hand and entered the store and asked him what he wanted to eat.
Xu Jiashu has been thinking about these fast food foods for a long time, and now he has reported everything he wants to eat, "French fries, wheat chicken nuggets, spicy chicken wings, Coke." ”
Jing Yu responded one by one, and after paying, he took the things and asked Xu Jiashu to follow him and find a two-person seat to sit down.
She barely ate much, she was serving the whole time, Xu Jiashu was a little embarrassed, and asked her, "Sister Goldfish, why don't you eat?" ”
Jing Yu smiled, "My sister doesn't like to eat these things, so I'll give them to you." ”
Xu Jiashu's face was flushed, the corners of his mouth were still shiny, Jing Yu wiped his mouth with a smile, thinking in his heart, Xu Mian educated the child really well, polite and sensible, except for some inferiority complex that is not easy for people to detect.
She hesitated for a long time before asking, "Xiaojia, where is your mother?" ”
Xu Jiashu paused, his eyes were a little aggrieved and complaining, and after a long time, he said sullenly: "I don't have a mother." ”
Jing Yu blamed herself a little, and provoked a topic that was not pleasant, she touched Xu Jiashu's soft natural curls, thought about it and said, "Didn't your father sue you?" ”
Xu Jiashu shook his head sullenly.
Jing Yu was very puzzled, to be honest, when she knew that Xu Mian was her neighbor, she had never linked these two people as a father and son.
In her impression, Xu Mian is actually a little childish, and it is really hard to imagine that this man already has such a big son.
Speaking of which, the two have not seen each other for many years, but they didn't expect to see each other again It turned out to be such a scene, Xu Jiashu was full, and there were a few fries left.
He touched his round belly and said uncomfortably, "It's good to hold on." ”
Jing Yu wiped off the oil on his hands and face with a tissue, and the child's white T-shirt was also stained with some oil. ”
Xu Jiashu blushed and shook her head, so she took his hand, and the big and small hands that shook each other were covered with sticky sweat after a while, but Xu Jiashu kept holding her hand firmly.
The temperature was a little low at night, Jing Yu stood on a stall where she bought clothes, and chose a small denim jacket from it, she put it on Xu Jiashu, and it just reached the child's thigh.
In the end, after Jing Yu bargained with the boss, the deal was sold for fifty yuan, Xu Jiashu looked at Jing Yu with admiration, Jing Yu raised his eyebrows at him proudly, "Sister is amazing, right?" ”
He applauded excitedly, "That's amazing." ”
Jing Yu smiled on her face, thinking in her heart that this child was actually not as difficult as she thought before, and for some reason, she liked this child a little more.
——
At ten o'clock in the evening, Xiao Zekai lay on the bed in the hotel, tossing and turning and couldn't sleep, looking at the time, his heart was even more unsteady, originally he thought that Xu Jiashu would come back by himself after a while, but now he hasn't come back yet.
He became more and more anxious in his heart, he was afraid that he would have an accident, if Xu Jiashu had any accident, not to mention that he was uneasy, I am afraid that Xu Mian would not let him go first.
He got up neatly in his clothes, knocked on the next room, and asked as soon as he opened the door, "Is Jingyu back?" ”
The assistant shook his head, Xiao Zekai's heart was a mess, so he asked the assistant for Jing Yu's mobile phone number, and when he called it, it turned out to be turned off, Xiao Zekai couldn't sit still at all, and he immediately walked to the elevator.
took the elevator out of the hotel, and called Jing Yu again, but there was always a cold female voice on the other side of the phone prompting him to turn off the phone, Xiao Zekai was anxious and dry, thinking that when he found Xu Jiashu, he had to scold the guy who didn't know what to do.
He returned the way he had returned, and the countless accidents that could have happened had already occurred in his mind, a young and beautiful woman with a small child, and the thought of it made his scalp tingle.
When he ran out of the elevator, he called the police again, "Comrade policeman, my nephew is lost, can you help find it." ”
The other side asked lazily, "How long did it take?" ”
"Two hours ago."
"Sir, you should look in the garden of your community first, it takes more than 24 hours for a missing person to be reported, okay?"
Xiao Zekai was in a hurry, angry, "What if I can't find it?" Do you pay me? ”
"Sir, we also follow the rules, wait for more than twenty-four hours before you come back to report the case." Without waiting for him to speak, he hung up the phone.
Xiao Zekai was in a rage, and he opened his mouth to curse, he grabbed a handful of light and short hair, kicked violently, and kicked it violently, but accidentally kicked the iron trash can.
Xiao Zekai's feet suddenly lost consciousness in pain, he half-squatted on the ground, pressed his feet with his hands, and relieved some of the pain, "I'm." ”
He scolded again, thinking to himself, this is really an unlucky day.
Just when he was about to face the critical point of madness, the phone rang, and Xiao Zekai picked it up, his tone was extremely irritable, "Said." ”
Jing Yu was startled by this irritable male voice and asked, "Who are you?" How many calls did you just make? ”
Xiao Zekai was stunned, looked at the phone number displayed on his mobile phone, and finally recognized it as Jing Yu's number, and suddenly vented all his feelings, "Why don't you answer the phone?" Where did you take Xu Jiashu with you? You show up for me right away, or I'll sue you for child trafficking. ”
Jing Yu was stunned by his long list of serial cannon roars, and after he finished speaking, he curled the corners of his lips and said with a mocking smile: "Xiao Zekai, do you say that you are sick?" Just now, he was scolded by a wild seed, what is it to pretend to care now? ”
Xiao Zekai's face turned red when she said it, and his tone was impatient but softened a lot, "I watched him grow up since I was a child, how could I not care about him." ”
Jing Yu laughed and said to him: "I'm here at No. 187 Binjiang Road now, can you come and pick us up?" ”
Xiao Zekai nodded hurriedly, his tone was a little fluttering, "Okay, I'll be there soon." ”
