My newly rented house is near the company, a 10-minute walk. The three-bedroom and two-living room are very spacious.

At this time, I cooked dinner with Sister-in-law Lin, and Ye Zi was playing Barbie in the house.

I asked Sister-in-law Lin that the leaves are nothing special today, right?

"Fortunately, I slept for two hours in the afternoon, and I didn't cry or make trouble." Sister-in-law Lin replied.

He fainted suddenly, and more than once. Although I couldn't detect the abnormality yesterday, I still can't let go of my hanging heart.

But now that I saw my daughter's spirits, I comforted myself a little.

"Yezi, it's time for dinner!" After setting up the dishes and chopsticks, I went into the house to find her.

"Mom, is Dad coming back today?"

My daughter put down the toy in her hand and looked up at me with her eyes open.

Alas, I'm in a good mood today, can't I not mention the people who add to the blockage? Although I understand, it is probably the appearance of Ye Jinliang this morning that has rekindled Ye Zi's mood that gradually calmed down before.

"Yezi," I squatted down, hugged her little shoulders, and said in a tone like an adult, "Mom and Dad are divorced, Dad has his own life and won't be with us anymore." The leaves have to be strong, okay? ”

I have always felt that my daughter is very reasonable, at least Ye Jinliang and I have never lacked cultivation in our early education.

So when she pushed me to the ground, I was stunned!

How strong can a three- or four-year-old get? But my squatting position was not very stable, and she tried her best to be like a little bull. So I sat on the floor with my ass.

"Why don't you want to be together and have to be separated casually, why do I have to lack a father or mother!" She didn't cry, her big eyes stared, like ...... It's like a different person!

At that moment, my fear was close to freezing. I suddenly felt that something was very, very wrong with the leaves, but I couldn't tell what was wrong.

The marriage with Ye Jinliang lasted for a month, during which he was domestic violence and hospitalized, and Ye Zi did not show a particularly abnormal state. What's going on today?!

......I reached out to touch her, but she glared at me in disgust, and then Tara ran into the bedroom with her little slippers.

"Leaves!" I followed up and saw her covering her head under the quilt and curled up on the bed like a little caterpillar.

I sighed and gently lifted her out: "Don't be like this, wait a minute, you will be deprived of oxygen again." ”

I poked her in the back and tried to squeak her.

But instead of giggling and begging for mercy as she had done before, she remained silent.

"Good leaves, let's not make trouble, okay to come out for dinner? Mom made you your favorite pineapple pie. ”

"Ye Zi doesn't want to see you, you're not a good mother." My daughter snatched the quilt from my hand and retracted it into the shell again. It's like pinching my soft heart, and it hurts and throbs.

"Ye Zi......" I didn't speak again, gently closed her door, and said to Sister-in-law Lin who was standing outside, "Forget it, let's eat first." Wait until she's hungry and give her a hot one. ”

I cried while eating, and I thought I was probably underestimating the damage that the marriage had caused to my children's hearts.

When Sister-in-law Lin handed me a tissue, I noticed a bloody mark on the back of her hand, and I asked her how she got hurt.

"It's okay, chop vegetables ......"

She dodged her gaze, prevaricated her words, and most importantly - who is chopping vegetables and cutting the back of her hands?!

Without saying a word, I snatched the old man's withered wrist, and I took a closer look at the scratch, which looked a bit like a clumsy utility knife.

"How the hell did you get it?" I'm in a hurry.

"Yes......" Sister-in-law Lin was spitting here, but I already understood eight or nine points: "Yezi? ”

"Alas, it's all my fault." Sister-in-law Lin apologized again and again.

I said, how can you make the leaves hold a knife? How dangerous this is!

"I just didn't see it, she actually stepped on the stool and climbed the upper drawer......" Sister-in-law Lin looked at me apologetically, and pulled her injured hand back into her sleeve.

I got up and went to get the medicine kit and gave Sister-in-law Lin some disinfectant potion. I said, Sister-in-law Lin, what else did Ye Zi do abnormally today?

She shook her head, but I couldn't rest assured.

The food was not good, so I went into the house to see my daughter. She had fallen asleep, and her little red face had finally returned to her familiar cuteness. I couldn't help but lean in and kiss her, but fortunately I didn't wake her up.

It is said that children from single-parent families are always sensitive and fragile, and I think I am still too incompetent. Knowing that she should spend more time and energy on the leaves, she still let fear take advantage of the void into her lonely heart.

pulled down the quilt with one hand, and unconsciously pressed the edge of the bed twice with the other hand-

Hey? What's bulging?

I lifted a layer of mattress and pulled out a Barbie's from underneath — no, not a Barbie, but a pile of Barbie wreckage!

Hands and feet joints, head and body, as long as the place can be disassembled, all of them are dismantled!

I was stunned.

I almost escaped the room and ran into the bathroom in one go, retching so hard that I almost poured out the little food I had just eaten!

Leaf...... No, it's not a leaf! How could she have behaved so violently and shadily?

My leaf has always been gentle and introverted, timid and cautious, sensible and well-behaved.

In kindergarten, I won't be naughty with the teacher, and I won't fight with my friends-

My thoughts froze all of a sudden, and I suddenly remembered that more than half a month ago, when Ye Zi knocked Xiao Ling's head because of a trivial matter, the head teacher Teacher Liu had said something to me.

She said that Ye Zi's mood has been slightly wrong recently, and she hopes that we will pay attention to it, and it is best to go to the hospital for a check-up as soon as possible.

Three or four-year-old children, personality and temper are still developing. Once bias occurs, it may not be caused by congenital factors, but by external factors.

The earlier it is detected, the more likely it is to be treated earlier.

At that time, I thought that Mr. Liu's alarmist remarks were just to scare my incompetent mother......

"Winter Night," I dialed out and went directly to Li Dongye.

"What's wrong, Lan Lan?"

"It's the leaf......" I don't know how to explain it, in short, I just recounted it: "Winter night, when will the report come out, how can I ...... Why do I think something is wrong with the leaves? ”

"Are you too nervous?" Li Dongye was in a mess, looking like he was going to the mall with his fiancé: "I went to ask when I got off work today, but there are only two data left that haven't come out, and it may have to wait for Monday." The rest of the indicators are normal, Lan Lan, don't scare yourself yet. ”

"How can I scare myself! If you found a messy doll dismembered by your daughter under your bed, would you be calm? "I'm in tears. You know, when I was in college, I didn't watch a lot of horror movies. Most of this kind of behavior with strong violence against humanity is abnormal!

"Lan Lan, a child over three years old first has exemplary nature, and then subjectivity.

It's possible that she just saw Sister-in-law Lin cutting radishes during the day, so you really don't need to think about things in such a bad place.

Think about it, Ye Zi used to be the closest to Ye Jinliang. Now that such a sudden change has occurred, a slightly unusual behavior is justified. ”

"But......" I wanted to say a few more words, and suddenly I felt that the placket of my back was being pulled tightly.

"Mom ......" is a leaf, I don't know when I woke up, I ran in to go to the toilet.

I squatted down all of a sudden, hugging my daughter's little shoulders: "Yezi, Yezi told Mom, where is it uncomfortable?" ”

"It's not uncomfortable, I want to pee......" Ye Zi stared at me with two big eyes, and in a distance of less than two meters from the flush toilet, I watched my daughter pee directly on her body!

"Leaves!"

"I can't hold back my ......" Ye Zi looked at me timidly: "Mom, do you hate Ye Zi too?" Ye Zi shouldn't listen to bad children, he always pees on his body......"

"Leaves are not allowed to talk nonsense! What a bad boy, the leaves are mom's best baby. With tears of anxiety in my eyes, I washed my daughter and said something that made me worry about it.

I began to wonder more and more, did Ye Zi develop a very serious mental illness during this time?

After washing my daughter's little ass with warm water, I carried her to the bed and covered her with the quilt. Sister-in-law Lin came in with a bowl of cereal and put a few pieces of digestive cake to soak in. I fed Ye Zi a small half bowl, and then deliberately softened my tone, and asked tentatively: "Ye Zi, tell my mother why you want to play with the knife today?"

Isn't it a warning that leaves can't be touched by such dangerous things?

You see Sister-in-law Lin's hands are injured, how much it hurts......"

"It's not the leaves that dried it." The daughter covered her face under the quilt, revealing only the tip of her small nose.

"Good leaves can't lie."

"It's really not Ye Zi......" Ye Zi was teary-eyed: "Mom, is Grandma Lin still in pain?" ”

"Grandma Lin doesn't hurt anymore, but Ye Zi has to admit it boldly if she does something wrong, okay to apologize to grandma tomorrow?"

"Oh." My daughter said yes and obediently closed her eyes, looking at her familiar expression, I suddenly wished I was too careful.

It's a normal and well-behaved daughter, but just now...... What's wrong with that?

***

"Jiang Zuoyi?" I finally connected to Jiang Zuoyi's phone again, and when I heard him agree, I was immediately relieved.

"You... Are you okay! "I said I called you more than two hours ago, and I answered but no one answered.

"Probably pressed in the pocket." His tone was nothing special, but it was clearly not emotional.

"Well, you're not going to be convenient right now? I want to ......"

Actually, I wanted to ask his son Xiao Ling, what happened to Ye Zi when he injured the boy before.

"I want to go see Little Zero. I... There's something I want to ask him, okay? Alas, you know that children sometimes get to know each other better—"

"Just because your daughter smashed Xiao Ling's head before?"

I said please, it's still early, Xiao Zero shouldn't have slept yet.

"Go by yourself, he and Ling Nan are in the villa."

"Huh?!" I was taken aback, and I said what about you! You're not together? I don't want to go to Ling Nan by myself!

Toot – Toot –

A dead man, he hung up before I could finish speaking.

The villa area that Jiang Zuoyi said should be the private mansion when I went to apologize for the first time last time.

I finally went, because the most important lesson Jiang Zuoyi taught me today was not to enter the tiger's den to get a tiger.

You can't simply choose to avoid contact because you are afraid of someone.

The door was opened by a chubby old aunt, different from what I saw last time I came. Sure enough, as Jiang Zuoyi said. Come one crazy one, come two crazy pairs.

"Who are you?"

"I'm a friend of Mr. Jiang, are Young Master Jiang and Mr. Ling here?" I reported to my home, and before I could relax my smile, I saw a fluffy little head emerging from behind the sofa: "Aunt Shu!" ”

"Hello Little Zero." I walked over and carried him onto the couch.

"Are the leaves better? Can I go to kindergarten next week? ”

I said thank you for your concern, Ye Zi is fine, and she misses Xiao Ling too.

"That's ...... Is it the leaf that misses me, or is the leaf's good sister miss me? Jiang Ling blinked, and said something that I didn't understand at all!

"What?" I was surprised: "What do you call the good sisters of the leaves?" Who's that? ”

Jiang Ling shook his head: "Ye Zi has been saying that she has a very good sister, called Xiaoxiao." will sing to her when she is sad, and will protect her from being bullied by others.

The last time she hit me with a tumbler, it was also her sister. ”

I'm completely confused, although I don't know much about Ye Zi in kindergarten, but I still know how many friends she has.

Who is this girl named Xiaoxiao? not only played a small zero, but also made us carry the black pot on our leaves.

No, I have to go to the kindergarten tomorrow to find Yezi's homeroom teacher and ask for it!

"Xiao Ling, you tell Aunt Shu what kind of girl that young lady named Xiaoxiao is."

"I don't know, I've never seen one." Jiang Ling shook his head: "Ye Zi said that no one else can see her." ”

I'm even more curious, is it the girl in the kindergarten next door?

"Then you tell Auntie, what happened on the day Ye Zi injured you? Aren't you very good friends with Yezi? ”

"yes, let's play house games together." Xiao Zero said: "I am Dad, she is Mom, and Barbie is our child." We took her to the park, to the mall, and to buy toys.

Ye Zi also bathed her, but all of a sudden, she told me fiercely that her mother had told her that even Dad couldn't even look at girls taking a bath—"

"Little Zero!" Hearing the order behind me, I was like being forced to play a horror movie, and I was terrified.

Ling Nan was sitting in a wheelchair, and he didn't know if it was floating or floating, anyway, it appeared very weirdly.

"Nan Ma!"

"Go back to your room! Didn't I tell you not to talk too much to strangers? ”

I feel that Jiang Ling seems to be more afraid of Ling Nan, what the hell is a typical tiger mother!

I said Mr. Ling is really sorry, I said hello to Mr. Jiang and wanted to come and see Xiao Ling.

Huh, what a heavy medicinal smell?

I looked at Ling Nan's pale and bloodless face, and a not-so-good premonition haunted me.

"Xiao Ling is only more than four years old, and without the presence of a guardian, no matter what Ms. Shu asks him, he is suspected of abduction and intimidation."

Me: "......"

I explained again and again that I was really just here to talk to the kids.

"Mr. Ling, do you have any prejudices or misunderstandings about me, I ...... Did you know you before? "I took two steps after him and saw that his wheelchair rotation position today didn't seem to be as flexible as before. But as soon as I touched the back handle, I was shocked by him.

"Ms. Shu, you just treat me as your rival in love, competing with you for Ah Yi. Hehehe......"

Me: "......"

He lowered his head and rubbed his palms, but he rubbed a slimy red.

I was shocked, could it be...... Ling Nan is really the best person who will come to the eldest aunt?

"Aunt Shu, you better go first. When Nan's mother was in a bad mood, in the words of her godfather, it was said that there was not even a single leg left of a fly within a radius of ten miles......"

I said in my heart that I could see that he was in a bad mood, no, he had irregular menstruation.

I reached for a paper towel on the coffee table to wipe my hands, and I stumbled upon the bottom of the sofa and under the carpet, which seemed to be a dark brown that had not yet been cleaned.

And what's going on with that wall in the back? A large empty print, I remember coming back, was a painting hanging on it. Taken off?

"Aunt Shu, next time you come back, can you bring me a pistol?" Jiang Ling looked at me while fiddling with the small train in his hand: "I don't want to be a train driver, it's not cool at all, I want to be a big brother with a gun like a godfather!"

Alas, every boy has a dream of bohemian heroes, right? It's a pity to watch more Hong Kong films to know that the hero's strangeness ends in the hands of a woman except for his brothers.

"Little Zero, didn't your godfather teach you? Defeating the enemy doesn't have to be with guns, it's better to use brains. "I learned Jiang Zuoyi's tone, thinking that you gave me a lesson for a day, I have to torture your son.

But the godfather also said that living people are too troublesome, and sometimes it is OK to just tell them to shut up. That's how he did to Nan's mother just now......"

"What?" I feel as if I've heard something terrible, and it's all about fairy tales, so this boy's words are still worth scrutinizing.

Godfather said that he and Nan's mother were preparing for the company's annual meeting, acting as Infernal Affairs. Aunt Shu, is the annual meeting ...... Probably like a stage play in our kindergarten, right?

But I hear the gunshots—"

I left the child and ran to the door of the guest room in three steps and two steps, and as soon as my brain short-circuited, I pushed the door and went in!

Ling Nan took off half of his shirt, and the heavy bandages under his half-bare shoulders were covered with blood.

I knew I was reckless, and just as I was about to scream, he turned around and raised a black muzzle to me!

It's the first time I've ever been pointed at gunpoint since I was a child!

"Mr. Ling, cold ...... Calm down..... I didn't mean to offend, I just-"

Ling Nan sneered, then retracted the muzzle of the gun and pulled the trigger at himself. I saw a pale blue flame light a cigarette between his lips and teeth.

I said big brother, this is the pretending style of the last century.

"You and Jiang Zuoyi ......"

"Acting in Infernal Affairs, the program of the annual meeting."

Me: "......"

I said I'm not a four-year-old, why are you raising a gun for no reason? Could it be that when I was on the phone in the afternoon, I accidentally heard a sound after being connected, and it was really a gunshot?

Ling Nan continued to sneer, so cold that I was almost numb: "But you are not as good as a four-year-old child many times." Xiao Zero didn't believe it either, but he at least knew what not to ask. ”

"You are contradictory for the sake of the reporter named Wang Xiaofei?" I didn't retreat again, calmed down, and slowly stepped forward: "I inadvertently said it to Jiang Zuoyi, if it bothers you, I am willing to explain."

- Do you want my help? Your arm is bleeding. ”

"No, you get out." Ling Nan put on his shirt, and the moment he was close-fitting, the whole sleeve was soaked with blood: "If you have this spare time, you should care about Jiang Zuoyi, he doesn't see much better than me." ”

***

Ling Nan's words frightened me, and Jiang Ling's words made me nervous. I'm starting to feel more and more sympathetic to the housekeeping aunt who pretends to be deaf and dumb, and it shouldn't be long before I'm close to the "crazy" value.

Leaving Jiang Zuoyi's villa, I unknowingly drove to the building of Jiangyuan Group.

I called him before, but I didn't answer again. I just came to try my luck, though I didn't know what I was looking for him.

When I went upstairs, I saw Jiang Zuoyi's assistant Andy, and unsurprisingly, stopped me again.

I do my job like a white blood cell all day long, and I'm not a staphylococcus streptobacter! Stop me, stop it, it's addictive!

"I want to see Mr. Jiang."

"I'm sorry, Mr. Jiang is inconvenient right now..."

I looked at the time, but it was past eight o'clock in the evening, and it was too early to start inconvenient at this time.

Women, they usually come to the door at midnight, don't they?

"Then please tell me about it, and say it's about Xiao Zero."

Sure enough, I caught the weakness of whom.

"What's wrong with Little Zero?" Jiang Zuoyi leaned on the sofa upstairs, with a glass of red wine in front of him. This vague little mood made me really almost believe it... Is he waiting for the "inconvenient" to come to the door!

"It's nothing, it's just a little scared..."I casually made up a prevarication: "And Mr. Ling, he..."

"What the hell are you trying to say?" Jiang Zuoyi seemed to be a little impatient, once his mood changed in frequency, even the wine in the cup rippled.

I said that when I called you in the afternoon, it seemed that I heard a gunshot, you didn't want to kill Ling Nan!

Jiang Zuoyi glanced at me, and the voiceover was mostly teasing me for making a fuss: "Disobedient dogs, keep waste of food." ”

He picked up his glass and took a leisurely sip.

I said in my heart that I will give you 100 points for this forced pretend.

"Don't pretend, Xiao Zero has said, you are Xiang..."

I thought of a suitable word, but I didn't think of it for a long time, and finally used a sentence: "Love and kill each other." ”

After saying that, I took two steps backwards, and looked at his posture, which was like smashing my head with a wine glass.

"Are you alright... Actually, that's what I said during the day. ”

I felt a little guilty, and I always felt as if it was because I said that Ling Nan was threatening Wang Xiaofei behind Jiang Zuoyi's back, which made him suspicious.

It is said that women are messing around, bah, bah, what kind of drama is going on here!

"It's none of your business." Jiang Zuoyi said.

"Huh?"

Jiang Zuoyi said that he hadn't wasted firewood enough to listen to a woman's words and raise a gun against his own people. Especially a woman who can't talk about how beautiful she is at all.

Me: "......"

I asked weakly, what is that, I saw Ling Nan injured just now, is it really good to leave him alone?

"It's just a matter of disagreement, a few quarrels."

"Who's going to use a gun after a few quarrels!"

Jiang Zuoyi sneered: "Didn't Ye Jinliang beat you to vomit blood?" ”

Me: "......"

"Humans show friendship by shaking hands and hugging, while sharks may bite each other. Shu Lan, don't be too curious about other people's things.

Nothing else, I'm going to rest. ”

Jiang Zuoyi stood up and gave me an eviction order.

I think if he hadn't suddenly fainted in front of me like this, he might have been shocked by his domineering temperament—

"Hey, Jiang Zuoyi! Jiang Zuoyi—"
