Chapter 20 Telephone
"Hungry or not? Would you like to eat something else? ”
His voice was gentle, but Xue Zuining seemed to be frightened, as if he had just woken up from a dream, his expression changed suddenly, and he quickly wiped away the distress at the bottom of his eyes.
"Why are you here?" She asked him, and then added, "It's not a good place to go with your apartment or your company." "So she didn't believe it was a coincidence that he would be here.
Lu Huaining smiled faintly, and her thick palm covered her soft little hand, "I don't worry about you." ”
So he threw down a lot of business and ran to the villa where she lived in his busyness, and Xue Zuining happened to come out of the villa at that time. He followed her all the way from afar, but he didn't dare to step forward, no matter how much he wanted to hug her and kiss her.
It wasn't until he followed her into this café and witnessed her predicament that he finally couldn't help but come forward to relieve her.
- I don't worry about you.
Xue Zuining's heartache, which she had managed to control, flooded again because of his words, and that faint pain quickly spread to her chest, making her throat swell and unable to make a sound.
"It's not safe for you to live alone, so let Xiao Chen come over and take care of you."
"No need." Xue Zuining took a deep breath, "I'm doing well alone, you don't have to worry." She refused her grandfather's request and didn't want to return to the Su family, just hoping to live quietly alone and out of the sight of others, perhaps this would be the safest.
"Cat ......" Lu Huaining called her a little helplessly, "Do you even want to refuse my concern?" ”
Xue Zuining shook her head, she was just afraid that his concern would soften her heart, and she didn't want to continue to live the painful days of love or not love before.
She can't forget that pain, and she doesn't want love to turn anger into hatred because of time, so it's good for everyone to be separated.
"Don't come to me in the future." Seeing that his eyes darkened instantly, Xue Zuining couldn't help but feel a little distressed, "You take good care of yourself, don't lose weight anymore......"
Afraid that he would not be able to control what he would do if he continued to sit down, Xue Zuining hurriedly drank a large sip of milk and got up, "I, let's go." ”
Without even saying goodbye, she hurried past him.
Lu Huaining's hand under the table clenched into a fist, and it was very hard to hold back the urge to hold her into his arms and let her leave.
"Love you and miss you, miss you and see you, there is nothing else to ask for ......"
An unknown song was playing in the café, and the lyrics were ghostly appropriate.
Looking at the milk she had only drunk a sip on, Lu Huaining reached out and took it, and slowly flowed the remaining milk into her body with the faint lip print on the rim of the cup. The rich and slightly salty milky aroma seems to be mixed with her sweet taste.
I sat alone for a while, and when I was about to leave, my phone suddenly vibrate.
"Huaining, there's already news over there. It's just that something happened in Italy, and I have to rush over, so I can't accompany you over, you can ask Yu Xiao for details, and he found out about it. ”
After hanging up the phone, he immediately got up and left, and a cold flickered in his originally gloomy eyes.
Xue Zuining left the café almost at the speed of escape.
Back at the villa, the handsome face that exuded warmth was still rooted in my mind, and it couldn't be erased.
The sky darkened a little, and she was quietly curled up on the wide sofa alone, and the huge living room was so quiet that it was suffocating.
Before I knew it, I fell asleep and woke up in total darkness.
As his consciousness gradually cleared up, Xue Zuining was in the boundless darkness, and suddenly felt a little uneasy.
In the previous days, Xu Ze came to report every day, and every time he waited for her to fall asleep before leaving, so she didn't feel scared at all. But tonight he went back to his parents' house, and she was the only one in such a big house, so she felt a little hairy in her heart.
Maybe she shouldn't have refused and told him to let Xiao Chen come and take care of her.
When I was annoyed, the mobile phone on the coffee table suddenly rang, and the flickering screen looked a little weird in the dark.
Xue Zuining was startled by the ringtone, and looked around nervously before getting up and taking the phone, and didn't look at whose call it was to answer directly.
"Mommy, I'm Puffy."
The childish female voice was like a thunderbolt from the sky, shaking Xue Zuining so much that his whole body froze, and his brain went blank.
"Mommy, Mommy, Mommy, Mommy......"
Fluffy......
In the familiar call of her daughter, Xue Zuining came back to her senses little by little, and shouted excitedly to the other end of the phone, "Pengpeng? Are you really Puffy? I'm Mommy, ......."
A sudden beep on the other end of the phone interrupted Xue Zuining's words.
She watched in disbelief at the end of the call on the screen, her heart beating violently.
What's going on?
Was she dreaming?
Why did she hear her daughter calling her?
Isn't the daughter already ......
She slapped her face hard, the hot sting was so clear, but she still felt like she was dreaming.
It must be that she misses her daughter too much, it must be ...... Otherwise, how could you get a call from your daughter? Is it a phone call recording again?
A strong white light streaked through the door, illuminating the dark living room.
Xue Zuining was stunned, and heard the sound of steady footsteps ringing in his ears, and then the door was pushed open, and the lights turned on, and the surroundings were as bright as day.
"Huh? You haven't slept yet? Xu Ze looked at Xue Zuining in surprise, "Why didn't you sleep and didn't turn on the lights?" ”
walked over and sat down beside her, and seeing her sluggish face, Xu Ze realized that something was wrong with her.
"What's wrong with you?" He raised his hand to cover her forehead, and it was clammy and cold.
"Xue Zuining?" He shook his eyes worriedly, looking anxious, "What's wrong with you?" ”
Xue Zuining slowly moved his gaze to Xu Ze's face, and opened his mouth several times before making a sound, "I...... Looks like I've got a call from my daughter......"
Xu Ze frowned, then frowned, "You just woke up from a dream?" ”
"Dreaming?" Is it really a dream?
But why is my daughter's voice so clear?
As if she suddenly remembered something, she clicked on the screen that had been darkened, pointed to the first call that had been received and said to Xu Ze excitedly, "It's not a dream, you see, it's this call, it's a call from my daughter." ”
"Okay, don't get excited." Xu Ze comforted her and took the phone, "Let's call back to see if it's true, but if not, don't be too disappointed." ”
"Call back." Xue Zuining urged him, his eyes brightened surprisingly.
Xu Ze looked at her deeply and dialed back the set of numbers.
"Sorry, the user you dialed has not been activated, please inquire and then dial ......"
Xu Ze looked at Xue Zuining's face turning white little by little, and hugged her forehead against her soft voice to comfort her, "Don't think too much, it's not good for the fetus to suffer from gains and losses like this......"
"How could it not be opened?" Xue Zuining couldn't listen to his reassurance, and muttered to himself snatched the mobile phone and redial it, but the response on the other end of the phone was still a mechanical cold female voice.
"Okay, Xue Zuining, you calm down first." Seeing that she did not give up and redial again and again, Xu Ze sighed and snatched the phone and threw it to the other end of the sofa.
"Xu Ze, my daughter is not dead, I really heard her call me, that call was really from her, otherwise it would not show that the call was answered."
"But you heard it just now, that set of numbers hasn't been opened yet."
Xue Zuining was stunned and was silent for a while without speaking again.
"Well, don't think about it, have you eaten dinner?"
Xue Zuining was immersed in his own thoughts and didn't know how to respond, Xu Ze glanced at the phone that he threw away, and his eyebrows were slightly closed.
"Am I crazy, you say?" Xue Zuining suddenly spoke, "I actually have a strong premonition, maybe my daughter is really alive." ”
Xu Ze was shocked, and Xue Zuining had already pushed him away and got up.
"Where are you going?" Xu Ze instinctively grabbed her hand and took it into his arms, his eyes full of worry.
"I want a DNA test." As a mother, she should have her DNA tested as soon as possible. Only then she was completely immersed in the great pain of losing her daughter. In addition, she saw the string of Buddhist beads she wore for her daughter with her own hands at that time, so she did not have any doubts about her daughter's death.
And although the phone call just now was weird, it also made her realize that her daughter's overboard did not seem to be so simple.
"Xue Zuining, don't get excited, listen to me-"
"You come with me." Xue Zuining interrupted him, his eyes pleading with a hint of pleading.
Xu Ze smiled bitterly - it was rare that she was willing to beg him, but in this case.
"Okay, but you have to promise me to keep my emotions in check." He was afraid that she would be so sad and happy that her emotions would fluctuate too much and she would collapse.
Seeing that he agreed, Xue Zuining nodded hurriedly, and even forgot to avoid suspicion, took the initiative to hold his hand and couldn't wait to go out the door.
Xu Ze looked at the hands of the two of them, his heart warmed, and he held her, intertwining his fingers.
"Miss Xue, that case has been closed with Lusha's consent, so ...... The child's ashes...... It has been brought back by Lu Shao......"
The second half of the sentence knocked all of Xue Zuining's hopes to the bottom.
When did he deal with the child's funeral, he didn't even tell her when he met face to face in the café today.
Xu Ze hugged her with vain steps, and just wanted to say something, but heard Xue Zuining say, "Even if this is the case, according to your judicial procedures, there should be records related to the child's blood type and so on, I ask to see it." ”
"Miss Xue, when the case was closed, it was Lu Shao's own signature, if you have any questions, you can ask Lu Shao."
Xue Zuining was stunned for a moment, and for a while she didn't understand why she wanted to know these and asked Lu Huaining? Why didn't they just show her the records?
"If you don't have anything else to do, then ......" Although he didn't say any more, the meaning of the eviction order was self-evident.
Xu Ze sighed and left with Xue Zuining in his arms.
After getting into the car, when Xu Ze started the car to leave, he saw Xue Zuining move his lips and say something, but he didn't hear it clearly.
"What did you say?"
"I'm going to him." She couldn't give herself peace of mind without asking.
Xu Ze frowned, "It's too late today, I'll accompany you tomorrow." ”
"Nope."
After staring at her stubborn side face for a long time, Xu Ze drove away without saying a word.
Not long after, the car stopped in front of Lu Huaining's apartment building.
Xu Ze sat in the driver's seat and didn't move, but watched Xue Zuining open the car door and get out of the car, without even looking back.
Lu Huaining had just come out of the bathroom when he heard the doorbell ringing, and he was surprised that someone would come to him at this time.
The doorbell rang too quickly, and he opened the door directly without the steps of seeing who the person was through the cat's eye, but he was stunned.
Xue Zuining ignored his frozen expression, glanced at his strong physique that was still dripping with droplets, and walked into the room beside him with his eyes, but the air he exhaled was full of the fresh smell of bath gel.
