He parked the car to the side and covered his mobile phone: "Mrs. Ji, I don't know if you would like to accompany me to the class reunion?" ”

"Dad, can you carry things up alone? If not......"

Ye Wei received the longing in Ye Chuchu's eyes, and could only say helplessly: "I'm not old, I can move up by myself, but I don't know the road, and you have to send me over there." ”

Ji Beichen nodded and put the phone to his ear again: "Okay, send me the address." ”

The car started again, and when it drove to the apartment three kilometers away from Ji's house, Ye Chuchu took out the things in the trunk: "Dad's all the things are here, why don't I help you carry them?" ”

Ji Beichen also got out of the car: "Dad, you can take the room card, on the sixteenth floor, there is an elevator." ”

"It's okay, you two go play, I can do it alone."

Ye Chuchu watched Ye Wei disappear in front of his eyes, the clock in his bag had already been replaced with the one she had newly bought, and he sat in the passenger seat: "Take me to a shop that repairs clocks and watches." ”

"Okay."

When he arrived at the watch shop, Ye Chuchu held the clock that Ye Wei was called broken in his arms: "If you guess correctly, this clock is not that it is broken and cannot go, but that it is ......"

Ye Chuchu put the clock on the table, and the mechanic took the back cover open and found it intact: "Miss, this clock is not broken, just put a battery in it." ”

She was verified again, Ji Beichen held her from behind, and she held the bell tightly in her hand.

"Miss, do you want to help you install the battery?"

"No thanks."

Ji Beichen took out a hundred-yuan bill from his pocket and put it on the table, hugged Ye Chuchu and sat on the co-pilot seat, fastened her seat belt, her eyes were always looking at the clock in her hand, stroking the time that could not be moved, and tears fell on the surface of the clock.

"Why, why! This is not true! Ye Chuchu didn't want to know the truth, she couldn't figure out why Ye Wei wanted to kill her wife, and she also wanted to kill herself.

Ji Beichen put one hand on the steering wheel, and patted the back of Ye Chuchu's hand with the other hand: "Everything will come to the surface, don't worry." ”

Ye Chuchu nodded, what made Ye Wei look like this, was it because of gambling?

Ji Beichen drove the car to Lu Xuan's house, the maid opened the door, and Gong Zixuan's little ghost appeared in front of the two of them: "It seems that my uncle didn't lie to me, Sister Chu Chu will really come." ”

Lu Xuan shrugged helplessly: "This little ghost is now going to school in S City, so he pesters me to play with you every day, I have no choice but to do it." ”

Ye Chuchu couldn't listen to their conversation at all, holding the clock, and the time stayed at eleven o'clock forever.

"Brother Beichen, why is my sister crying, are you bullying her?" Gong Zixuan had no idea what was going on, and reproached.

Ji Beichen bent down and pinched Gong Zixuan's face: "Sister Chu Chu has something in her heart, so you'd better not bother her, otherwise I will double down on you, hurry up and do your homework." ”

Seeing Ye Chuchu's wordless expression, Gong Zixuan could only nod helplessly, as if he knew something: "Okay, then you can take care of your affairs first, and I will come to you when you finish it." ”

The three of them walked to the study, Lu Xuan handed the information on the table, glanced at Ji Beichen, saw him nodding, and then said: "This is Lu Xuan's recent expenses, luxury stores have bought all kinds of goods, and he didn't go to work at all, but soaked in the casino every day, and it just so happened that the person under the name of the casino is Mr. Wei, as for his real name, I haven't found out for the time being." ”

Ye Chuchu looked at the consumption on the A4 paper, and couldn't understand what his father was thinking, was he thinking about money? Is money really that tempting?

"Chu Chu, are you okay?" Lu Xuan saw her lost eyes and said with concern.

Ji Beichen held her in his arms, knowing that her mood at the moment was struggling on the edge of pain: "Go on." ”

"I also investigated one thing," Lu Xuan paused for a long time, not knowing whether to say it or not, "I found out that my uncle didn't borrow loan sharks at all, and he didn't borrow it from beginning to end, after Ji Beichen and you Ye Chuchu helped him pay off the fees he owed, some money was transferred into one of his private bank cards, which means ......"

Ye Chuchu was on the verge of collapse, and he couldn't imagine that his father would do this, covering his ears with his hands, unwilling to continue listening.

Seeing this, Lu Xuan didn't continue, but got up: "I'll make some tea for you." ”

He knew that talking too much at this time would only increase Ye Chuchu's troubles, so it was better to leave the two of them in the study, and he might as well not use the light bulb.

After Lu Xuan left, Ye Chuchu was buried in Ji Beichen's arms, choking, he could feel Ye Chuchu's tears seeping into his suit, touching his skin, and hugging her tighter: "Chu Chu, maybe my uncle has a handle in their hands, maybe my uncle has a hard time?" ”

Ye Chuchu raised his head and looked at Ji Beichen, he wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes with his hand: "Beichen, thank you for having you, if it weren't for you, I think I would never be able to accept this fact, and I still want to continue listening." ”

Ji Beichen called Lu Xuan, and he brought a cup of hot milk and put it in front of Ye Chuchu: "Zixuan, that little friend forced you to drink that cup of milk." ”

Ye Chuchu took the cup in his hand and drank it, his heart was not so cold, and the warm current was slowly rising.

"Lu Xuan, I can bear it, go on."

"Actually, there's nothing, it's a pity that I don't know what Mr. Yui's purpose is, so you two have to be on guard."

Lu Xuan scratched his head very embarrassedly, and Ye Chuchu felt his apology: "No, my heart can only be counted with your investigation, thank you." ”

'Knock Knock Knock ......'

"It must be Gong Zixuan's child." Lu Xuan said and got up from his seat and opened the door, "I knew you would definitely come in." ”

Gong Zixuan poked his little head and drilled in: "Uncle, your affairs are finished, can you finish with me?" ”

When Ji Beichen was about to refuse, Ye Chuchu held his hand: "Okay, I just don't know if you have finished your homework, if not, I won't play with you!" ”

"I knew that Sister Chu Chu would say this, the homework had already been done," Gong Zixuan walked in front of Ye Chuchu and saw that her eyes were red, like rabbit eyes, "Sister Chu Chu, your eyes are so red, you must have cried." ”

Gong Zixuan pulled Ye Chuchu aside and stood on tiptoe, Ye Chuchu simply squatted down when he saw his struggling appearance: "What do you want to tell me?" ”

"I'll just tell you one person, every time my dad beats me, I always run away, but every time I get caught by him," Gong Zixuan put one hand to her ear, as if talking about important secrets, "Every time I will be beaten by him accurately, I like to look at the sky when I can't hold back the tears, this method is very effective." ”

Ye Chuchu likes his child very much, if those things didn't happen, then her baby would be more than a year old, thinking of this, the tears in her eyes were difficult to control.

"Sister Chu Chu, I didn't say anything, don't cry, I don't want to be a bad person."

Seeing Ye Chuchu's crying appearance, Gong Zixuan hurriedly said, Ye Chuchu's hand was on his head: "I'm not a tearful person, I just want to thank you for telling me your secret." ”

"Since it's a secret, why don't you tell me a secret as Sister Chu Chu too?" Gong Zixuan's tomboy still didn't let him tidy up his hair, and looked at Ye Chuchu with sincere eyes, "How about it, I don't need your thanks." ”

"Okay." Ye Chuchu reluctantly agreed.

The two big men standing on the side didn't understand what the two of them were doing squatting there, as if they were discussing the country's military.

After Ye Chuchu finished telling Gong Zixuan the secret, he stood up and patted him on the shoulder: "Okay, you have to study hard, otherwise I won't be playing with you." ”

"What a good sister, she even has to take care of me playing," Gong Zixuan said in the old-fashioned words of adults, causing others to cover their mouths and snicker, "You guys are so bad, I don't want you anymore." ”

Ji Beichen walked to Ye Chuchu's side, took her hand, and bent down: "Zixuan, if you still want to get the New Year's money, you have to praise us well, tell me what Sister Chu Chu told you just now." ”

Gong Zixuan put his hand against his chin: "Sister Chu Chu's secret is only known to me, so don't be delusional that I will tell you." ”

"That New Year's money ......"

Soon, Ji Beichen's trick was cracked, and Gong Zixuan snorted coldly: "If you don't give me the New Year's money, I will grow to your height, and I will come with you to rob Sister Chu Chu." ”

Ye Chuchu's face was no longer the crying look, and he was amused by them: "Okay, Ji Beichen, why are you still angry with children, Ji Beichen, it's so naïve." ”

This sentence can enter Gong Zixuan's ears: "Sister Chu Chu, I want to clarify a little, I am not a child. As for you saying that your brother is naïve, I raise my hands in agreement, this man is so old, and he can't get along with a child, it's just extremely naïve. ”

In an instant, Ji Beichen's face was not very good-looking, and he glared at Gong Zixuan angrily: "Zixuan is very honorable to tell you that your New Year's money this year is gone." ”

He looked indifferent: "Anyway, it's okay, I make a lot of money from stock trading, and I don't look down on your little money at all." ”

Ye Chuchu listened to his words at this moment, and remembered that every year during the Chinese New Year, adults were very excited to give out red envelopes, and Gong Zixuan, the child, couldn't even look down on it......

"Beichen, I'm a little tired, let's go back."

Ji Beichen saw that her tiredness was rising, so he had to say goodbye to them.

In the car, Ji Beichen gave her a bottle of mineral water: "Seeing that your spirit is not very good, drink some water first." ”
