Lin Shu worshipped strength when he was young, and believed in wisdom when he grew up, but it was not until he encountered pain and tribulation that he knew that the most precious thing in a person's life was actually that little bit of indomitable courage.

So for Jing He's words, he deeply understands and resonates.

Soon after that, it was the weekend, and Lin Shu went out as usual, but when he arrived at the bus stop, he suddenly turned around a few steps and looked in one direction.

Then he saw a girl pushing a bicycle and asking a passer-by something.

Lin Shu was stunned for a moment, then walked over quickly and called the girl.

The girl turned her head and saw Lin Shu, and she was also stunned.

Chen Mingxue's appearance did not surprise Lin Shu, after all, Zeng Rong now lives with Lin Jinhua, and Lin Jinhua's company is nearby.

Lin Shu said hello to Chen Mingxue, Chen Mingxue responded a little fearfully, and then paused before asking Lin Shu: "Do you know where my mother lives?" ”

Lin Shu was stunned for a moment, surprised that she still didn't know Zeng Rong's address. He thought for a while and said to Chen Mingxue, "Do you want to go to your mother?" Well......" he thought for a moment, and said, "or I'll take you there." ”

He looked at the time, called Ju Mingfeng, and took Chen Mingxue to turn around.

When the two were walking on the road, Chen Mingxue was a little restrained at first and didn't dare to speak. Lin Shu took the initiative to ask her: "You came here to find your mother, why didn't you ask your mother's address directly?" ”

Chen Mingxue was silent for a long time before she said: "My dad won't let me come, saying that my mother won't be happy for me to come." My mom also said that she was inconvenient and asked me to wait until she had time to come and see me. ”

Lin Shu asked, "It's really not very convenient. Actually, you should listen to your mother, and it will be the same when she goes back to see you. ”

But Chen Mingxue's eyes quickly turned red, and she said: "But she only came to see me once during the winter vacation, and then she has been busy and has never come to see me again." ”

Lin Shu was stunned for a moment.

At this point, Lin Shu really couldn't speak for Zeng Rong.

In fact, in his heart, he didn't want to speak for Zeng Rong at all, but he just felt a little pity for this stepsister who had been with him for many years, so he wanted to comfort her in a peaceful way.

But he didn't want to coax Chen Mingxue as a fool. This girl is smart, and she is not the kind of person who will collapse when she is hit, so Lin Shu doesn't want to deceive her.

Zeng Rong's approach is ruthless and selfish to the extreme.

Looking back in this way, when Zeng Rong and Lin Jinhua got married, they didn't contact Chen Mingxue for nearly a year. However, Chen Mingxue was older at that time, so her ability to bear it was much stronger, and her attitude towards Zeng Rong was not as reluctant as it was in front of her.

Later, Zeng Rong wanted to make up for the relationship, but this girl has always been soft and hard, and her attitude towards Zeng Rong has always been relatively cold. Although he was persuaded by Chen Wenqu to come to live with Zeng Rong for a period of time every year, he has never been intimate.

Lin Shu rubbed his fingers in the corners of his eyes for a while, thought for a long time, and then said, "Your mother is not doing this right." ”

Chen Mingxue said with a little hesitation: "Mom, she's ...... Do you actually hate me? ”

Lin Shu was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly asked, "Why do you think so!?" ”

Chen Mingxue said: "Because she is so cold to me. Is it because I've been making mistakes all the time, so she's getting impatient? I'm ...... at the hotel I also poured your dad drink at the hotel, so my mom hates me, doesn't she? ”

Then she paused suddenly, turned her head and asked Lin Shu, "Don't you hate me?" ”

Lin Shu said categorically: "He should pour it." I think you've done a great job. Then he stopped, turned to Chen Mingxue and said, "You don't have to find fault with yourself when everything happens." Your mom and dad divorced you and have nothing to do with you. What you have done wrong before, whether you have been naughty or not, has nothing to do with your mother's cheating. ”

"Not all mistakes are made because someone else has done something to someone...... This is too complicated, you may not understand it very well, in short, Chen Mingxue, you just need to know that your mother will not cheat because you are very well-behaved, so you don't blame her choice of divorce on not being well-behaved enough. ”

Chen Mingxue listened, stood in place and was silent for a long time before she spoke: "So, no matter how obedient I am, my mother will divorce my father, right?" ”

Lin Shu nodded and said, "Yes, that's it." ”

When Chen Mingxue heard this, she didn't know whether she was relieved or more depressed.

Then the two arrived at the door of Lin Jinhua's company.

Lin Shu came often, and everyone in the company knew him, so no one stopped him. A female employee laughed and joked with him and said, "Xiao Shu came with a little girlfriend today?" ”

Lin Shu replied solemnly: "No, this is Aunt Zeng Rong's sister, she came to find her mother." ”

The female employee was stunned for a moment, and the scene suddenly became cold.

Lin Shu didn't care about other people's reactions, and took Chen Mingxue to push open the glass door and walk through the corridor.

After they left, the various whispers that quickly erupted between the employees, Lin Shu naturally didn't pay too much attention to it.

Zeng Rong was indeed in Lin Jinhua's office. She wasn't too surprised to see Lin Shu, but when she saw Chen Mingxue, she immediately frowned and asked, "Why are you here?" Didn't I say I would go over and see you when I had time? ”

Chen Mingxue stood there, holding the key of the bicycle tightly with her head down, and said after a while: "I just want to come and see and know the way." ”

Lin Shu looked at Zeng Rong coldly, Zeng Rong also realized that her tone of voice before was a little rushed, and she suddenly eased her expression, stretched out her hand and pulled Chen Mingxue over, and said, "Mom has been really busy lately, and I will go back to see you when I have time." Be nice, don't be naughty, or Mom will be angry, you know? ”

Her "You know what! The tone suddenly became much more stern, and it seemed a little fierce.

Lin Shu frowned involuntarily, and then glanced back at Chen Mingxue. But I saw that the little girl had a pair of big black and white eyes, and was looking at her mother with an empty face.

Chen Mingxue didn't seem to even be able to speak, so she looked at Zeng Rong in a daze. She originally had a lot of things she wanted to say to Zeng Rong, but after she really met face-to-face, she couldn't say anything.

After Zeng Rong warned her daughter, she showed an overly affectionate and hypocritical smile to Lin Shu, and said, "Xiao Shu, it's rare for you to come, so it's better to stay and eat at noon." ”

In the past and present life, Zeng Rong's attitude towards Lin Shu can be said to be the difference between heaven and earth. The reason for this gap comes from whether Lin Shu's mother exists or not. It can be seen that for most children in the world, whether there is a mother who loves them or not has a huge impact on their lives.

And after twenty years of time and space, Lin Shu and Chen Mingxue's positions are completely reversed at this time.

Lin Shu didn't really want to stay, but he glanced at Chen Mingxue and replied yes.

He was worried about Chen Mingxue, although the opposite was Chen Mingxue's biological mother, Lin Shu was not at ease about the opposite. Zeng Rong does not have the unconditional maintenance of her daughter like a traditional Chinese mother, Chen Mingxue is young but stubborn now, and if the two clash together, she may not suffer a loss. So Lin Shu stayed in the end, just to repay the girl in another time and space for her righteous words and kind maintenance.

This meal made everyone a little unsavory. During the whole process, Zeng Rong kept stretching out her chopsticks to pick up vegetables for Lin Shu, piling up good words on him like money, Chen Mingxue kept raising her eyes to look at her mother, and in the end, her eyes were red.

In the end, it was Lin Shu who took Chen Mingxue with him.

Chen Mingxue began to shed tears when she left Lin Jinhua's company, and when she reacted, she found that she had followed Lin Shu to her house. She immediately wanted to ride away, but was persuaded by Lin Shu: "Don't worry, my mother is not at home when she goes out." Come in and wash your face, your dad will be worried. ”

Chen Mingxue froze for a moment, and finally followed in to wash her face.

When she washed her face, Lin Shu said to her: "Your mother actually doesn't like me at all, she just keeps serving me vegetables to show that she has to be enthusiastic about me." Just like when a guest comes on weekdays, the mother of the ordinary family will praise the guest's child as a flower. ”

When Chen Mingxue heard this, she was stunned for a moment, and her whole face suddenly turned red. After a while, she said in a low voice, "I...... I know I shouldn't eat your vinegar......"

With that, she began to cry again.

She wiped her tears with a towel while crying, she knew that she shouldn't, she didn't know why Lin Shu guessed that her heart was so sour just now, obviously she had tried her best to hide it.

Chen Mingxue actually knew that he shouldn't, even if he was Lin Jinhua's son, he was the same as himself. Lin Shu has always been kind to her so far, he is a very good little brother, and she shouldn't be jealous.

But she was so jealous.

Her mother was so indifferent and fierce to her, but she smiled so gently and warmly at other people's children. Chen Mingxue's heart was cold and cold, and she only felt that in the late summer and early autumn, she had a chill oozing out of her five internal organs.

Lin Shu said: "It's not that it shouldn't, it's unnecessary." Your mother was just kind to me. ”

Despite this, Chen Mingxue was ashamed of her thoughts.

Then at this time, there was the sound of the key driving the lock hole in the hallway, and then there was a sound of the door opening. Chen Mingxue was startled, jumped up like a frightened rabbit, and wanted to hide but found that there was nowhere to hide.

102：

Chen Mingxue looked left and right at a loss, as if she wanted to find a place to hide, but it was too late.

Liang Yuehua was stunned when she saw the women's children's shoes at the door, and then shouted, "Xiao Shu? Got a classmate at home? ”

Lin Shu gently patted Chen Mingxue's shoulder and said, "It's okay." Then he said to Liang Yuehua, "Mom, it's a classmate of mine, I happened to meet it nearby, so I came in and sat down, and borrowed a place to wash my face by the way...... She had just accidentally gotten dirty. ”

Hearing Lin Shu say this, Chen Mingxue was stunned. Children are very simple, and they are generally taught not to lie, and they slowly become sleek and hypocritical as they get older.

At this time, Chen Mingxue was still at an age where she couldn't lie at all, so it was quite uncomfortable to hear Lin Shu so freely and evade Liang Yuehua easily.

However, this kind of deception itself was actually to help Chen Mingxue, so Chen Mingxue couldn't feel bad for Lin Shu, but a little guilt appeared in his heart.

She finally called out, "Hello, Auntie." ”

After Liang Yuehua saw her, she asked, "Chen Mingxue?" ”

Chen Mingxue suddenly stiffened, completely unexpecting Liang Yuehua to recognize herself so directly. She muttered for a long time, but couldn't say anything more, just "I" a few times.

Liang Yuehua saw that she was nervous, but she laughed and said, "Don't be nervous, Auntie won't do anything to you." I know your parents, and we went to the amusement park together a few years ago...... Do you remember? ”

To be honest, Chen Mingxue doesn't remember much anymore.

She still remembers going to the amusement park, but who are she with and who are the adults...... Chen Mingxue was young at that time, and the child himself was forgetful and didn't remember, how could he remember?

Seeing that she didn't answer, Liang Yuehua didn't continue the question, just gently asked her what happened. Lin Shu saw that his mother had recognized Chen Mingxue, and he didn't hide it anymore, and told Liang Yuehua everything that happened before.

After Liang Yuehua listened, she felt a little sympathy for Chen Mingxue. She came back to get something at home, so she said that she would take Chen Mingxue home by the way. Although Chen Mingxue tried her best to refuse, she still did not refuse Liang Yuehua's kindness later. After Lin Shu put Chen Mingxue's bicycle into the back compartment, the mother and son sent Chen Mingxue home together.

Unexpectedly, when Chen Mingxue arrived home, she happened to meet Chen Wenqu arguing with Zeng Rong on the phone while walking out. Chen Mingxue shrank a little when she heard the content of the conversation, and involuntarily ducked back.

But Chen Wenqu didn't have time to take care of his daughter, because he saw Liang Yuehua at the second sight, and then he was shocked by this, and called out in a wry: "Senior sister! ”

Liang Yuehua said: "You don't have to put on a posture like this, this matter has nothing to do with you." Your daughter misses her mother and can't help but go to her, don't blame her later. How can there be a child in this world who doesn't want to be a mother? ”

Chen Wenqu heard Liang Yuehua say this, but he had mixed feelings in his heart, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

Liang Yuehua knew that the two of them were in an embarrassing situation, so she didn't continue to say more, so she said softly to Chen Mingxue: "You get out of the car." Rest assured, it's not wrong for you to go to your own mother, and your father won't say anything about you, because it's not your fault. ”

She set the tone for this matter in three or two sentences, and made a promise on behalf of Chen Wenqu. Although the irrefutable aura is strong, it is not offensive.

Chen Mingxue looked at Liang Yuehua and then at her father, and vaguely felt that what this aunt said seemed to be really more powerful than her father, and it was irrefutable.

She got off the bike with some trepidation, and then went to move the bicycle with the help of Lin Shu.

When Chen Wenqu saw this scene, he immediately said, "I'll come!" Then she helped her daughter move her children's bicycle out of the car.

After moving out, he took a deep breath before saying, "Senior sister, thank you for sending Mingxue back." ”

When Chen Wenqu said this, his attitude was sincere, but his tone suppressed some anger that was not aimed at Liang Yuehua. Liang Yuehua knew where his anger came from, so he didn't say much, just said, "No thanks." ”

When she was about to leave later, Chen Mingxue suddenly called Lin Shu: "Brother Lin Shu!" ”

Lin Shu suddenly stopped.

This is the first time Chen Mingxue has called him brother in his life.

But I heard Chen Mingxue say: "Next time I have a chance, I invite you to come to my house to play." ”

Lin Shu showed a smile and said, "Okay." ”

At dinner in the evening, Lin Shu couldn't help but ask Liang Yuehua: "Are my mother and Chen Mingxue's father alumni?" ”

Liang Yuehua listened, lowered her eyelids and sighed, and said, "Not only that Uncle Chen, but your father and Zeng Rong are also from the same university as me. ”

Lin Shu said: "I know that my father studied mechanical design, what about Zeng Rong and that Uncle Chen?" Also graduated from Yenching University? ”

Liang Yuehua took the chopsticks, took a chopstick dish very usually, and said: "Zeng Rong is from the Affiliated College of Technology, and she is a kindergarten teacher. Chen Wenqu is a business student, and he is from the same department as me, but not in the same major. ”

Lin Shu was about to ask again, but was interrupted by Liang Yuehua. Liang Yuehua hesitated and asked Lin Shu: "Xiao Shu, my mother has been busy with business recently, and she rarely cooks at home...... Wouldn't you be a little upset? ”

Lin Shu was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Liang Yuehua to ask this question.

In fact, if it was a real child, there might be some sensitive grievances, but Lin Shu was not a real child after all, and that heart had already been trained to be as invulnerable as steel. For him, as long as Liang Yuehua can live well, he will not live in vain in this life.

As for whether you can eat the food made by your mother at home on weekdays, it is a secondary matter - there is a nanny anyway.

Lin Shu thought for a while and said, "Not at all, mom, you work hard." I also have a lot of things to do. ”

Hearing him say this, Liang Yuehua found that her son's words were not wrong, at least she still had some understanding of Xingze's current situation.

So in the end she just laughed and said, "Okay then." If you need help, remember to tell your mother. ”

Lin Shu responded with a smile.

In fact, Lin Shu didn't need help. Although he looks like a child, his knowledge and experience may not be inferior to Liang Yuehua, and if he can't solve something, Lin Shu is not sure if it will be useful to ask Liang Yuehua for help.

But since Liang Yuehua said so, it was naturally impossible for him to refute the other party.

However, the next problem that Lin Shu ushered in was useless to ask Liang Yuehua for help.

The school is going to hold a gala, which is held for New Year's Day.

According to the regulations currently announced, each class has to prepare about one or two programs, and of course, they have to go through a preliminary selection, and the final selected program can be on stage.

However, although it is necessary to prepare one or two programs, in fact, each class will prepare at least two programs, and many classes will even have students prepare multiple programs, and then after the selection has been carried out in the class, it will be put in front of the school leaders for a second selection.

Specifically, it is equivalent to adding another primary election before the primary election.

There are a lot of such slightly competitive activities when I am studying, and the teachers are probably because of the relationship between bonuses and job evaluations, and the students probably just want to be in the limelight or want to play, but this kind of activity is still very popular and is enthusiastically sought after every year.

This year is no exception. When the notice first came out, there was already a lively conversation everywhere, as if everyone I met was discussing this matter.

However, Lin Shu has always felt that this kind of thing has nothing to do with him, even if there is a work that needs to be done by him, he will do it well after the teacher explains it, but he will definitely not take the initiative to take the job.

After all, he was very busy, and he had never been interested in the homework on stage.

But things didn't turn out exactly as he expected.

In the afternoon, the class began to discuss what program to be released. Everyone's ideas are varied, some mention yì singing, some mention yì dancing, and some mention yì acting sketches...... Anyway, there are all kinds of everything.

Lin Shu held his chin and watched everyone discuss in his seat. Ju Mingfeng sat two seats away from him, but kept texting him.

In fact, mobile phones are not allowed in the classroom, although not all students have them. Lin Shu also wanted to abide by discipline, but Ju Mingfeng's persistent passing of the note was even more annoying, and it would also affect the classmates sitting between the two.

In desperation, Lin Shu only knew the law and broke the law, and he was in the same league with Ju Mingfeng.

The phone was muted, and it was not easy to be found out if the two were secretly texting. The class meeting was very noisy, and many people were talking, so Lin Shu and Ju Mingfeng deserted, and no one came to catch them.

After sending it like this for a while, Lin Shu suddenly heard someone call his name, and he was startled, and quickly stuffed his mobile phone into the desk, and then raised his head innocently.

As a result, I saw that many people from Mr. Lian and his classmates were staring at him, and he was almost creepy.

Then I heard a girl laugh and said, "Lin Shu can't sing." As soon as he sings, he goes out of tune, and he can't listen to it at all. But if you dance...... It's weird, too. ”

Lin Shu suddenly had a black line on his face, thinking to himself what he was talking about.

Then I heard the teacher pick her up and say, "Or do something." Lin Shu: Do you have any projects that you are good at? Have you ever learned any musical instrument? ”

Lin Shu said helplessly: "Teacher, I don't have all five notes, and I can't even distinguish the scales, how can I learn a musical instrument?" ”

Lin Shu's voice is not unpleasant, in fact, it is even quite good, but he almost never fails the music exam from elementary school to junior high school, and this situation has not improved until he can use recitation instead of singing in high school.

Such Lin Shu wants him to perform on stage? Tease him, right?
