Chapter 25: Provoked

This evening, I chose to get off work early, and then took Pippi to the "Duoduo Children's Restaurant" and ordered a parent-child set meal to eat with Pippi.

"Dad, do you think that little girl is pretty?" Pipsqueak said, pointing to a girl who looked like a Barbie doll.

"It's not pretty, it's a little fat." I took the trouble to study it with Pipsqueak.

"It's really beautiful!" Pipsqueak said persistently.

"Then tell Daddy, why do you think she's beautiful?" I asked with a smile.

"She has dimples when she laughs, just like my mom!"

I looked at the little girl again, and it happened that she was smiling, there were really two shallow dimples, and the charm was a little like Zuo Lan, and my heart seemed to be pierced by thousands of needles in an instant, and it was full of holes.

After a long time, I touched Pippi's head and whispered, "Eat, Dad will take you to the playground later." ”

Pippi nodded obediently, but looked at the little girl from time to time, I knew that he was thinking about Zuo Lan, their deep mother-son relationship was not something that could be washed away in two years.

......

Today, Pippi's mood is not particularly high, even in the playground, after only playing for less than 20 minutes, he said that he was tired and wanted to go home to sleep, so I had no choice but to take him back.

When I got home, I sat on the couch in the living room and looked at the recent financial statements, Pippi washed up in the bathroom, and after a while, he came out of the bathroom and said to me, "Dad, can you come to my room, I want to talk to you for a while." ”

I was a little surprised, Pipsqueak was only a little over 5 years old at this time, and his tone was old-fashioned, but he nodded anyway and put down the financial statements in his hand.

Pipsqueak lay down on the bed and covered himself with the quilt, and I sat down on the edge of his bed and asked, "What do you want to say to Daddy?" ”

After a long silence, Pipsqueak said to me, as if he had made up his mind, "Dad, is Mommy dead?" She's not going to come back to see Pipsqueak at all? ”

"Nonsense, who told you this!" I scolded Pipsqueak, but my heart twitched.

Perhaps frightened by my attitude, or genuinely sad, Pippi burst into tears and beat me with her hand: "You are all liars, there is no Snow White in the world...... Mom is dead and she's never coming back! ”

I let Pipsqueak beat me, and I looked up, tears streaming down my face....... Those warm pictures of Zuo Lan hugging Pipi or kissing or shouting for his son are like sharp knives piercing my heart at this moment.

I hugged Pippi tightly, choked up and said: "Good son, Mom just went to another world first, and after a long time, we will also go to another world to meet Mom, although Mom is gone, but there is still Dad with you in this world, as well as Grandpa, Grandma, Chen's Mother, Shen's Mother, Lin's Mother, Uncle Han, Uncle Prince....... They love you all, you know? ”

"But I just want Mom, Dad, can you go and get Mom back? I must not make my mother angry! I will study hard and listen to the words of my teacher's aunt. ”

Listening to Pippi's heart-rending cry, I realized at this moment how painful it was for a seemingly beautiful lie to be shattered! I can't give Pippi back a Zuolan after all.

This night, I just hugged Pippi, he cried, and I cried, until he was tired of crying and fell asleep, and I came back to my senses from the loss of my soul.

Cover Pippi with the quilt, turn off the light, and gently close the door, I sat on the sofa, even though it was late at night, but there was no trace of sleep.

......

It wasn't until the bell tower in the distance faintly heard the ringing of the early morning bell that I came back to my senses again, and finally realized that Chen Qingyi had not returned.

I took out my mobile phone and dialed Chen Qingyi's phone, but no one answered for a long time, and a trace of unhappiness welled up in my heart, what kind of drinking party needs to be held until 12 o'clock in the morning?

I called Ye Yiyi again, Ye Yiyi on the other end of the phone was obviously resting, and she asked in a hazy tone, "What's the matter, call me so late?" ”

"Do you know what kind of drinking party Qingyi is going to attend today?" I asked in a serious tone.

Ye Yiyi's tone finally sobered up: "Ah! Hasn't Qingyi gone back yet? ”

"Nope."

"Listen to her: It seems that Mr. Ning of Mercedes-Benz went back to Nantong today to inspect, and the cocktail party held in the evening ......." Ye Yiyi realized that something was wrong and stopped immediately, everyone in the whole circle knew that Mr. Ning had been chasing Chen Qingyi for a long time, and she hurriedly explained, saying: "Yixi, don't think too much, there are many people who have been invited today, and Sister Shen Man has also received an invitation, mainly because Mr. Ning and his old friends are catching up." ”

"Well, it's so late, you can sleep." I hung up the phone without waiting for Ye Yiyi to say anything more.

I immediately dialed Shen Man's phone again, and was connected after a while, I didn't say anything, and immediately asked, "Senior sister, did you go to Ning Xu's drinking party today?" ”

"Well, is there a problem?"

"Where are you now?"

"I'm at home, what's wrong?"

"What time does the party end?"

"It's over before ten o'clock...... What the hell is going on? Shen Man's tone became more and more puzzled.

"At the end of the party, did you see Qingyi?"

"I didn't pay much attention to it, and I was talking to my friends....... Hasn't she come back yet? ”

"You've had a lot of drinks today, go to bed early." I said and hung up Shen Man's phone, and I already judged in my heart that Chen Qingyi must be with Ning Xu at this moment, even if Chen Qingyi and I have been married in the past year, Ning Xu has not been afraid to express his love for Chen Qingyi in public or in front of friends.

I dialed Chen Qingyi's phone again, but still no one answered, so I dialed Ning Xu's phone, and the phone was connected a moment later.

I didn't wait for the other end of the phone to speak, and immediately asked, "Is Qingyi with you now?" ”

"Stay with me." There was a hint of provocation in Ning Xu's tone.

I was extremely in control of my emotions: "What time is it, do you think it's appropriate?" ”

"You don't care about her as a husband, what's wrong with me caring about her as a friend?"

"Don't talk nonsense with me, give me the address, I'll pick her up."

"Don't work Mr. Zhang, you're driving, I'm on the way to send her back, if it's convenient for you, go downstairs and take a hand, she drank too much!"

.......

I put on my coat and went downstairs to the complex, and a moment later, a black Mercedes E350 drove into the neighborhood and stopped in front of me.

Ning Xu walked out of the car first, and was about to open the co-pilot's door and help Chen Qingyi get out of the car.

"Don't move." I pointed at Ning Xu, walked to the co-pilot's side, opened the car door, and helped Chen Qingyi, who was in a blurred state, down.

I said coldly to Ning Xu: "I warn you, don't appear by Qingyi's side in the future, especially this point!" ”

Ning Hao looked at Chen Qingyi, who was supported by me, lit a cigarette, took a puff, spit it out heavily, and said to me: "Zhang Yixi, I admit that in the past few years, you have made remarkable achievements in the shopping mall, you do have the ability and means, and there are countless people who have been stepped on by you, but as a husband, you are a failure...... You simply don't understand what a woman, especially a married woman, needs...... Qingyi marrying you is the biggest mistake of her life, especially when you still have such a son who drags oil bottles! ”
