Thinking of last night's dream, and remembering the romantic night with Wu Bo in room 8508 of Jincheng Hotel, the idea of meeting Tao Ling's family was born.

"Mom, I'm out on errands, and I probably won't come to dinner at noon!" After leaving such a note for her mother, she walked out of the family area.

I asked for a taxi at the gate and went straight to the south of the city.

Halfway through the walk, she remembered that Tao Ling and his wife might have gone to work, so she asked the taxi driver to take her directly to the kindergarten where Wu Xiaoqian went to school.

Chen Bing arrived at the entrance of the kindergarten, and after entering the classroom, a group of kindergarten children rushed out, gathered around her, and said:

"Teacher, where have you been?"

"Teacher, we miss you so much!"

"Teacher, don't go, okay?"

……

Aunt Tang, a former colleague, greeted her warmly: "Teacher Chen, which gust of wind blew you here, I haven't seen you for so long, where did you go to make a fortune?" ”

"Teacher Tang, I have been staying at home and have not done anything, I have made a special trip to see Wu Xiaoqian." Chen Bing replied truthfully.

"Wu Xiaoqian?" Aunt Tang looked very surprised and asked, "Wu Xiaoqian's mother is dead, and Wu Xiaoqian has transferred to another school, don't you know?" ”

"What? Tao Ling is dead? Chen Bing was shocked and asked, "How did she die?" ”

"I heard that she had an affair with the manager of the company, and after being disfigured by the manager's wife with sulfuric acid, she jumped off the building and committed suicide!"

"Huh? How so? Chen Bing's head was stunned for a moment, and he asked embarrassedly: "Then where did Wu Xiaoqian go?" ”

"Soon after Tao Ling's suicide, Wu Xiaoqian's father was afraid that some children in the kindergarten would look down on and bully her, so he let her grandfather and grandmother take her to kindergarten."

"Where's the kindergarten?"

"I don't know this, when I was leaving, Xiaoqian asked me to tell you a word."

"What?"

"She wants you to be her mom!" Aunt Tang kept looking at Chen Bing's expression.

Chen Bing's face suddenly turned red to the root of his ears.

Aunt Tang smiled slyly and said, "Wu Bo is a good man, you have to take advantage of it?" ”

"Teacher Tang, where did you go?" Chen Bing was embarrassed to her.

Aunt Tang half-jokingly said, "Don't be embarrassed, I'm still waiting to eat your candy!" ”

After Chen Bing said goodbye to Aunt Tang and the kindergarten children, her mood was very heavy.

She never expected that Tao Ling's fate was even more tragic than her, and she was anxious to know the recent situation of Wu Bo's father and daughter, so she took a taxi to the Chengnan community.

When entering the community, a young security guard asked, "Miss, who are you looking for?" ”

"I'm looking for Wu Bo from three buildings and one unit 4-2."

"Oh, you were looking for Boss Wu, since his lover died, he rarely went home to live!"

Chen Bing asked eagerly, "Then do you know when he will be able to come back?" ”

"I don't know about that!" The security guard shook his head.

"Can you go upstairs and have a look?" Chen Bing still didn't give up.

The doorman said helplessly, "Okay, you can go and have a look." ”

Chen Bing came to the door of Wu Bo's house and knocked lightly on the door several times.

There was no one inside, and suddenly I saw a cobweb on the door of this room, proving that it had not been inhabited for a long time.

Chen Bing realized that the doorman had not lied to her, and left in a huff, dragging her tired body home.

Seeing her bad face, her mother asked in surprise, "Bingbing, where have you been, I have been looking for you everywhere." ”

Chen Bing asked rhetorically, "Mom, didn't you see the note I left for you?" ”

"I see, but mom is still worried about you!"

"I'm not a three-year-old, so what's there to worry about?"

"I see that your face is not good, there must be something wrong, right?"

"I didn't have an accident, I only found out today that Tao Ling was dead."

"Which Tao Ling?"

"It's the good friend I have often mentioned to you, the mother of my goddaughter Wu Xiaoqian."

"Is that the woman who was ruined by Yang Jianjian's brute?"

"Yes." Chen Bing nodded.

"When is it?"

"Soon after I resigned."

"Hey, what a good girl, how can you say that death is death?" The mother asked softly, "How did you die?" ”

Chen Bing was afraid that her mother would know that Tao Ling died of an affair, which would damage her image, so she said: "I don't know very well, probably because she died of illness, right?" ”

"Alas, modern medical technology is so developed, why are there so many diseases that cannot be cured by medical treatment?" The mother sighed and asked, "Which one of her children will she bring?" ”

"I heard that it was taken to my hometown by Tao Ling's parents."

"What about her lover, is it called Bo, where did he go?"

"His name is Wu Bo, and he went to work in other places." At the mention of Wu Bo, Chen Bing felt blushing.

The mother continued to ask: "Since his lover is dead, has he ever thought about finding a stepmother for his daughter?" ”

"Mom, Tao Ling's bones are not cold, what do you want to say like this?"

Chen Bing once told her parents about Wu Bo rescuing her from the river, knowing that her mother wanted them to be together, but she was embarrassed to make it clear.

"Oh......" Mother sighed and went into the kitchen.

When Chen's father came back from work, Chen's mother had already set up a sumptuous dinner.

Chen Bing felt that he had no appetite, hastily ate a few bites of food, said that he was not feeling well, and locked himself in the bedroom.

The father asked, "What's wrong with Bingbing?" ”

The mother said: "Her good friend Tao Ling died, maybe it was the reason for the bad mood, right?" ”

"Old woman, at this time, you should care more about and take care of her." The father expressed understanding of his daughter's behavior.

"Got it!" After dinner, Chen's mother went to Chen Bing's bedroom.

Chen Bing and Yi lay on the bed and said, "Mom, don't disturb me, I want to be alone for a while!" ”

The mother sat on the edge of the bed and comforted her: "Child, I know that you and Tao Ling are good friends, and I also know that you have always felt guilty about Yang Jianjian for ruining her, but she has been dead for so long, and people can't be resurrected after death, so don't think about it so much!" ”

"Mom, I'm sad in my heart, don't say it."

"I seem to have heard you praise Tao Ling's family in front of me before, what a good young man Wu Bo is, right?"

"What does it have to do with me whether people are good or not?"

"Didn't you say that Wu Bo saved your life? At this time, you should comfort and care for him, and if possible, you can develop into a family. ”

"Mom, don't talk nonsense, I'm really tired, good night!" Chen Bing said a perfunctory word to his mother, and then got into his bed.

Chen's mother left her bedroom in amusement.

Closing her eyes, the scene when Tao Ling dreamed of her, as well as Tao Ling's pleading eyes, appeared in front of her eyes.

Although Chen Bing felt that Tao Ling was a bit hypocritical, he didn't expect that she would betray Wu Bo and do that kind of thing.

Tao Ling's death, although there are some self-inflicted blame, but he has been helped by her in the most difficult time, Chen Bing has always mourned this friend who died young with guilt.

She recalled the joyful and happy time she had with her good friend Tao Ling, and she burst into tears and fell asleep unconsciously......
