Chapter Eighty-Eight: Family

In the next few days, I don't know what method An Jin used, and the police really didn't come to the door again. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

The scar on Qu Xi's face was 5 centimeters long, and the wound was intermittent, and it looked a little terrifying on her fair face. She put on a black mask, wrapped a thick scarf, and only showed a pair of dark and shining eyes, and walked out the door.

It didn't take long for her to come to a small apartment building.

Myself...... How long has it been since you've been here?

She smiled wryly.

Walking up, it didn't take long to come to a door. Knock lightly.

"Xiaoxi, you're here!" Before I saw her, I heard her voice first, and with this call, the door opened, and Qu looked at her with a smile, and an apron around her waist.

"Come on, Xiaoxi, come in. My parents and I are making dumplings! Qu smiled brightly, "This is your favorite food when you were a child!" ”

Childhood? Qu Xi was a little stunned, and vaguely remembered that she used to really like to eat dumplings......

"It's a heavenly delicacy!" Qu Xiao added another sentence.

Qu Xi walked into the house a little embarrassed, and sure enough, he saw his parents sitting at the dining table with their sleeves folded and carefully wrapping dumplings, and when they saw Qu Xi coming, one of the gray-haired old women stood up, with a serious expression, and a pair of big eyes staring at Qu Xi tightly.

Qu Xi sighed in his heart...... Oops, here it is again.

This old woman's name is Wang Ronghua, and she is one of the most sorry people in Qu Xi's life - her mother.

"You still know how to come!" Wang Ronghua snorted, although her voice was loud, it didn't contain a lot of anger, "Tell me yourself, how long have you not been here?" ”

Qu Xi shrank and drilled behind Qu Xiao: "Mom, I was wrong." ”

Wang Ronghua snorted, sat down, and continued to wrap the dumplings quickly.

Qu Mingli watched from the side and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, Xiaoxi isn't here." Xiaoxi washes her hands, and her father has made you a lot of food! ”

Qu Xi let out a heavy "um", took off his coat and mask, rolled up his sleeves and wanted to come over to help. At this time, Qu Xiao suddenly exclaimed: "Xiaoxi, your face ......"

When Wang Ronghua heard this, her face suddenly became gloomy: "What's the matter with you?" ”

"That...... Accidentally ...... while cooking," Qu Xi hardened his head and began to lie.

"Cooking? Do you still cook? Wang Ronghua was very angry, "You are a girl, this is broken, how can you go on a blind date?" How do you find a boyfriend?! Ouch......" he said, and began to beat his chest and scream.

Qu Xi looked at her mother with the corners of her mouth twitching...... I haven't seen her for a few months, and my mother's acting skills seem to have improved again.

The meal was lively, all kinds of home-cooked dishes were on the table, Qu Mingli was interested, and opened a bottle of good wine, beckoning his two daughters to have a few drinks. Under the alcohol, Qu Xi's face was flushed, especially cute on her fair face, and her vision in front of her slowly blurred a little.

"Dad......" Suddenly, Qu Xi called softly.

Her voice, earnest and hesitant, immediately attracted the attention of the whole family.

"What's wrong, Xiaoxi?" Qu Mingli held his glasses and looked at Qu Xi with some concern, "Did you drink too much and want to rest?" ”

"Not really." Qu Xi burped and waved his hand, "I, I have something to ask you......"

As soon as these words came out, Qu Mingli suddenly felt a strange feeling flooding through his heart. He looked at Wang Ronghua with a calm face, and then at Qu Xiao with a puzzled face, and his voice was unconsciously much smaller: "You, what do you want to ask?" ”

Qu Xi pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled: "Dad, let's go into the study and talk." ”

After speaking, she drank the remaining wine in the cup in one gulp, and walked into the study in the surprised eyes of the three of them.

"Xiaoxi, what's wrong?" Qu Xiao asked in a low voice...... How is it so weird.

Qu Mingli was not sitting or standing, so he had to look at Wang Ronghua as if asking for help. The latter raised his eyebrows and said loudly: "Don't go yet!" ”

"Okay, okay, go now, go right away." Qu Mingli grimaced and walked over.

The door is closed.

"Xiaoxi, what do you want to ask Dad?" Qu Mingli looked at Qu Xi, who was sitting on a recliner with a book of poems flipping through at will, and asked softly.

Qu Xi raised his eyes and looked at Qu Mingli.

Qu Mingli is 60 years old this year, he was a university teacher when he was young, and he has been drinking tea and playing chess at home since he retired. Qu Xi's gaze lingered on the white hair on his temples for a while longer, before lowering his eyes and whispering, "Dad, do you like S City?" ”

Qu Mingli didn't expect Qu Xi to ask this, and he was a little speechless for a while. Three years ago, because Qu Xi and Qu Xiao were really worried about wandering in S City, he and Wang Ronghua spent most of their life savings to buy a house in S City, and have settled here ever since.

"It's good." He told the truth, "Life is quite convenient. ”

Qu Xi smiled faintly: "I think I think ...... Pretty good. ”

Silence ensued between the two.

Qu Mingli walked over and touched Qu Xi's head: "Xiaoxi, what do you want to say to Dad?" ”

Qu Xi's eyes flashed, stood up, and took out a thick red book from the bookcase behind him. As soon as the book was taken out, Qu Mingli was stunned, and walked up quickly, wanting to snatch it from Qu Xi's hand.

"Xiaoxi, Xiaoxi, this book...... This book is not good. He smbabbed, scrambled for an excuse, and craned his neck to take the sight of the obscurity.

Qu Xi turned to the side slightly and raised his eyes to look at him.

With just one glance, Qu Mingli was deflated.

He understood...... He understood everything.

Everything, it's too late.

"Dad, how long do you want to hide it from me?" Qu Xi's voice was not cold, but listening to Qu Mingli's ears, he felt a trace of cool air coming out from all around his body.

"Mom and Dad, I didn't mean to hide it from you." Qu Mingli lowered his head, "Really." ”

Qu Xi opened the book and looked at the photos in the book.

It was a couple of family photos, a dad, a mom, and a pretty girl with pigtails. But the girl wasn't her.

In the photo other than the family photo, the one wearing a red dirty cotton jacket, with her eyes closed, skinny and dirty, is her.

A person who didn't belong to this family of three.

"Xiaoxi, Dad is hiding from you because he doesn't want you to have a grudge against us...... Your mother and I truly love you and treat you as if you were our own daughter. Qu Mingli seemed to have aged a few years all of a sudden, and stammered, as if he wanted to take out his heart and show it to Qu Xi.

Qu Xi shook his head: "Dad, in fact, I already knew." It's okay, it's okay. ”

She didn't blame them for hiding it from her. She just--when she saw that they left everything good to her, but not to her sister, she felt sorry for her sister, and she felt uncomfortable for herself.

"Xiaoxi ......" Qu Mingli still wanted to say something.

"Dad," Qu Xi interrupted. "What I want to ask this time is, what you picked up about me at that time."

"You tell me all, word for word."
