81 Let no one look down on you
Outside the high-end western restaurant, the queue of customers waiting for the meal is very long, and today is Christmas Eve, and most of them are couples going on a date to eat.
Suddenly, a black Bentley sedan drove up to the door of the restaurant and immediately became the focus of everyone's attention.
Ye Ke had a calm face, without a trace of pleasure, "Xiao Yang, open from the front alley to the back of the restaurant, and let's go to the back door." "I don't want to walk in front of so many people, my feet are not good yet, such a handsome and straight figure is limping, it's too embarrassing.
The car went around to the back door again, and Ye Ke was willing to get out of the car.
Damn An Xiaodong, if you don't want to be born on this day, what kind of excitement do you have on Christmas Eve of foreigners.
The waiter came over warmly and greeted him, "Does Mr. Ye need to order?" β
"I'll order it when I come."
"Okay."
Ye Ke looked around, the hall was full of friends, and the queue outside the hall was long, it was really lively, this kind of day should stay at home, and when you come out, you will see people.
There was a small couple sitting in front of them, pretentiously feeding each other steaks, Ye Ke felt sick to his stomach, isn't it good to eat his own, he has to eat other people's saliva? Stand.
Ye Ke sat for a while, uncomfortable, he admitted that he no longer had that kind of romantic feelings for a young man, and his growing environment made him much more mature than his peers, and he could even be said to be old. The restaurant was mostly filled with young people about his age, but when he looked at it, he thought they were very naΓ―ve.
couldn't help but call An Xiaodong. Stinky girl, if you don't come again, I'll go, it's better to go home and eat pig's feet!
"Hey, Ye Dashao," Xiao Dong's voice was a little stunned, a little scared, and a little hoarse, "I'm sorry, I can't go, I forgot to call you, you're here?" β
Ye Ke had the urge to smash his phone, what? You can't come, forget it, and you even forgot to notify me?! Tricking me, isn't it! Ye Ke took a deep breath to regulate the anger in his heart, and when he spoke again, his tone had become calm, "That's right, I can't go to something." β
Xiao Dong was both happy and disappointed, "Oh, where are you?" β
"Where I am, what's your business." Ye Ke held back the furious anger in his heart, An Xiaodong An Xiaodong, you dare to release my pigeons, I will tell you when you are finished.
Xiao Dong was speechless for a while, and Ye Ke asked her in turn, "Where are you?" What's the matter? His tone was very impatient, could it be better.
"I ...... I...... Yun Duo had a fever, I stayed with her in the hospital, and after taking her back to the dormitory, I would come back, it would not be too late. β
"Good!" One word, hang it after speaking.
Xiao Dong's brows furrowed tightly, and he paced back and forth at the door of the emergency room in frustration. The first date was like this, she didn't know if Ye Ke was angry and deliberately said not to go, or if there was really something she couldn't go.
Zhu Qiaozhen has many abrasions on her body, and her pelvis is also injured, the loan shark is really ruthless, and he can kill you with just two feet. Right now, she's in the emergency room and hasn't come out yet.
Leng Xiaobei accompanied Xiaodong to wait outside the emergency room, and in the face of Leng Xiaobei's puzzled and concerned eyes, Xiaodong was really difficult to speak. Her mother can be very ordinary, she can be very simple, even old-fashioned, she will not feel ashamed, but her mother is a gambler, gambling so much that even her daughter can be betrayed.
Leng Xiaobei looked deliberately dressed up, and asked, "Have a date?" "Isn't it Christmas Eve today, she must have an appointment with Ye Ke.
Xiao Dong said with a dejected face: "There was originally, but now there is none." She smiled dryly, took a few white rabbits from the broken bag and stuffed them for him, "Hehe, Senior Leng, thank you so much today, I invite you to eat candy." β
Leng Xiaobei was a little embarrassed, he was not a child, so he used candy to coax him, "You keep it for yourself, I saw you picking these up so nervously just now." β
Xiao Dong smiled embarrassedly, and took it back, "Let you see the joke......"
"Your mother...... Can you tell me what's going on? He wasn't probing into other people's privacy, and he could see that Xiao Dong was uncomfortable, but he cared about her, those people seemed to be extremely vicious, and he was worried that she would be entangled by those people again.
Xiao Dong took a deep breath, today is also a favor from Leng Xiaobei, and he has already seen their embarrassment, so what can he say.
"She is my mother, my own mother, hehe, everyone knows that the An family has an illegitimate daughter, and everyone knows that the biological mother of the illegitimate daughter is a dancing girl, but few people know that she is now a person who is addicted to gambling. Those people just now were loan sharks to collect debts, I hate her, how can there be such a mother in the world, chasing the loan sharks to her daughter's school, how can she be so selfish. Last time, she was also gambling, and she was kicked and broke her ribs, and this time she was injured, and she gambled again, and she owed so much money...... I hate her, why do I have such a mother, I hate her......"
Speaking of excitement, Xiao Dong clenched his fists and bit his lip.
Leng Xiaobei patted her on the shoulder and said, "But you still love her," he revealed Xiao Dong's inner feelings in one sentence, "Others laugh at your mother for being a dancer, but in fact, what you care more about is her incompetence and her self-depravity." If you really hate her that much, you won't insist on taking her to the hospital when she is injured. β
Xiao Dong looked at the door of the emergency room, her heart was numb, yes, she was so anxious that she even forgot such an important date with Ye Ke, she had been looking forward to it for a long time, and she had worked hard for a long time, she had never studied so hard since she was a child, but because of Ye Ke's words, she took her life to memorize English.
The door of the emergency room suddenly opened, and the doctor came out of it, and Xiao Dong immediately rushed up, "Doctor, how is my mother?" β
"There are some cracks in the pelvis, but they don't get in the way, and at the age of 36, a few days of bed rest will heal on its own. Everything else is fine, it's just some skin trauma. β
Xiao Dong pulled the doctor, "Do you want to be hospitalized?" β
"I suggested hospitalization, but the patient insisted, go home and take good care of her, walk carefully, it's better not to walk."
As she was talking, Zhu Qiaozhen had already asked the nurse to help her out, her pelvis was cracked, and she frowned every step she took, and she was still holding on.
Xiaodong really can't bear it, she can't stand by at all, no matter how bad Zhu Qiaozhen is, it's her mother, she can betray her daughter, but she can't ignore her mother: "Mom, let's be hospitalized, let's go later." β
Zhu Qiaozhen shook her head and said softly: "Xiaodong, Mom is leaving Shanghai at night, and the tickets for the night have been booked." β
"What? Are you crazy to leave Shanghai after you get hurt like this? β
"Shhhhh......hh β
Xiaodong was puzzled, so he had to help her, and Leng Xiaobei in the back also came forward to help Zhu Qiaozhen.
Zhu Qiaozhen walked slowly, while holding Xiao Dong's hand, and said softly: "I really didn't know that they would follow me, last time my mother was confused, but this time my mother will not push you into the wolf's mouth again, loan sharks are inhumane, I just borrowed 5,000 yuan at the beginning, and this interest will become 500,000, and the day after tomorrow will be even more, so my mother has already bought a bus ticket back to her hometown and wants to leave Shanghai." β
As she spoke, she burst into tears, "I wanted to see you before leaving, Xiaodong, today is your birthday, Mom misses you......"
When Xiaodong heard this, she felt very uncomfortable, her mother wanted to go back to her hometown, but she knew that her hometown did not have any relatives and friends at all, and she had nothing to rely on.
Zhu Qiaozhen seemed to see Xiao Dong's worries, and said: "Xiao Dong, Mom knows that you are worried about Mom, don't worry, there is an old aunt in my hometown, her son and daughter-in-law have moved to the city, and she is alone in her hometown, so I will treat her as a companion." β
"Really?"
"Of course it's true, I can't pay back the money from the loan sharks, if I don't leave, will I keep the corpse to be divided by them? But I'm more worried about you now, they know you're my daughter, so what can I do now? β
"Mom, I don't have to worry, I don't have to go out in school, they don't dare to make trouble at school." Of course, this is to comfort her mother, but she is not afraid outside, if they dare to mess around, she will call the police, now it is a legal society, she does not believe that in full view, loan sharks will hurt an innocent schoolgirl.
"Mom, it's okay for you to leave Shanghai to hide for a while, but your injuries ......"
"It doesn't matter, the doctor said that if the nail is cracked a little bit, they want the patient to be hospitalized, and the hospital will make money."
"Mom, you can't say that......"
"Okay, mom knows it, Xiaodong, you take good care of yourself, can you send mom to the bus station?"
Leng Xiaobei, who had been silent beside him, said: "I have a car, it's no problem to send it over." β
Xiaodong felt that he owed Leng Xiaobei a favor, owed a favor or something, and had the most headache. She asked, "What about your luggage?" β
"I've been at the bus station for a long time, I hid in the bus station early in the morning, just watching TV and saying that today is Christmas Eve or something, I thought that today was your birthday, and I couldn't help but run to the school to wait for you."
Xiao Dong has no matter how much she complains in her heart, she can't say it, what can she do, her mother is pitiful enough, she can't bear to complain about her anymore. She advised: "Then don't gamble again after you go back to your hometown." β
Zhu Qiaozhen swore and said: "I know, if I bet again, I will hide from these hands!" "She has tasted the pain of being pursued by loan sharks.
Leng Xiaobei didn't say anything, just helped, he drove Zhu Qiaozhen to the bus station, the time was just right, and the bus to Kunshan was just about to leave.
Xiao Dong rummaged through her bag, only found a pen, no paper, she simply took a white rabbit and wrote her mobile phone number on the candy paper, "Mom, this is my phone, call me when you arrive, you can call me if you think of me in the future." β
Zhu Qiaozhen took the white rabbit tremblingly, her ruddy eyes were full of joy, "Okay, okay, mom will definitely call you." β
The car was about to drive, Xiao Dong took Zhu Qiaozhen's hand and said: "Mom, you live well in your hometown, give me some time, and when I graduate and work, I will make money to support you, whether it is in Shanghai or when I go back to Kunshan, we will never look at other people's faces to live, really, you believe me." This is her wish since she was a child, a small wish, and her biggest wish.
Zhu Qiaozhen cried so much that she became a tearful person, "Okay, mom believes, good daughter...... "In the end, it's still her own daughter, "Mom has to go, go back and be careful, this classmate, thank you too, please take care of Xiaodong." β
Leng Xiaobei nodded solemnly, "I will, Auntie, please rest assured." β
The car was open, Zhu Qiaozhen was lying on the window and waving her hand, she was crying and laughing, it's good, Xiaodong has grown up and has a boyfriend, that boy is really good.
Xiao Dong ran a few steps with the bus, and the tears he held back also flowed, Mom, you wait, we will definitely live a good life, and no one will look down on us!
