"As long as you complete what I have explained, your daughter will naturally be safe."

"I want to see her, otherwise I'm not at ease, how do I know if you will change your mind, I'll take a look." Xiao Shaoyan was very anxious, for fear that she would hang up the phone again as before, except for waiting for the other party to find her, she couldn't contact the other party at all, let alone know her daughter's safety.

"Xiao Shaoyan, you are not qualified to bargain with me, remember what I told you, don't let me remind you what to do." After the other party finished speaking, he hung up the phone in a hurry.

Xiao Shaoyan held her phone helplessly, she called back, but it was already empty.

She let out a low cry of helplessness and buried her face in her hands.

"Shaoyan."

Xiao Guojie's voice came from not far away, Xiao Shaoyan immediately sorted out her emotions, wiped the tears on her face, and put on a quiet face, then she looked back at Xiao Guojie who was sliding over in a wheelchair.

"Dad."

"Why are you here, it's already open inside, I'm looking for you everywhere." Xiao Guojie looked at Xiao Shaoyan lovingly, saw that her eyes were slightly red, and exclaimed: "Shaoyan, why are you crying, tell Dad, what's wrong." ”

Xiao Shaoyan smiled: "It's okay, it's just that I see Cousin Chongming so happy and happy for him, Qiao Fei is also a kind and righteous person, and he doesn't dislike his cousin, it's very rare, I really envy the relationship between the two of them." ”

When Xiao Guojie heard this, his heart relaxed, and at the same time, he felt more guilty, if his daughter had been by his side, she should have such happiness and a happy family now.

Xiao Guojie took Xiao Shaoyan's hand and blamed himself deeply: "It's all my father's fault, I didn't protect you at the beginning, otherwise you wouldn't have suffered so much, and now that you're back, your father will compensate you well." ”

Under the orange night light, Xiao Shaoyan looked at Xiao Guojie who was full of guilt in the wheelchair with blank eyes, and smiled self-deprecatingly: "There are some things that cannot be compensated, how can you come back for the missed time?" ”

Xiao Guojie's unhurried words made Xiao Guojie slightly stunned, and he saw a trace of resentment in Xiao Shaoyan's eyes.

He is not a competent father, and his daughter resents herself, as she should be.

Xiao Guojie didn't know how to express the guilt in his heart, and was a little clumsy: "Shaoyan, as long as you can be happy, Dad is willing to do anything, even if it's this life, by the way, aren't you envious of Chongming and Qiao Fei, after their wedding is over, I will ask Xiaoxian to introduce you to a few excellent men, and when you get married, Dad will definitely hold your wedding grandly, so that you can be beautiful and happily married, okay." ”

Xiao Guojie just wanted to do everything possible to compensate Xiao Shaoyan, but that sentence of scenery and happy marriage just hit Xiao Shaoyan's pain.

The memory suddenly returned to ten years ago, she was just seventeen years old, and she had already been married by Lisi's family, saying that she was married, but in fact she was selling.

Lis's family married her to a sixty-year-old man for the sake of five camels.

A woman's best expectations were ruined that night.

There are no solemn weddings, gorgeous wedding dresses, blessings from loved ones, deep affection from lovers, only fear and humiliation.

Xiao Shaoyan closed her eyes, buried the dark past in her heart, slowly opened her eyes, put her hand on the armrest of the wheelchair, and replaced it with a sweet and quiet smile: "Dad, I'll push you in." ”

Xiao Guojie is not a careless person, how did he not find the pain and vicissitudes in Xiao Shaoyan's eyes just now, but Xiao Shaoyan is reluctant to mention the past, he, as a father, can't uncover his daughter's scars.

The wedding hall was lively, Xiao Chongming and Qiao Fei were toasting the guests and receiving the most sincere blessings from relatives and friends.

Xiao Shaoyan pushed Xiao Guojie into the hall, first glanced at Xiao Chongming and Qiao Fei, and then swept her eyes to Qin Sheng and Xiao Junxian, Xiao Junxian was taking care of Qin Sheng throughout the whole process, whatever she wanted to eat, he would clip it for her, the two were very affectionate, talking and laughing.

Thinking of the explanation on the phone, she secretly exhaled, Xiao Shaoyan pushed Xiao Guojie over, and smiled lightly: "Big brother, sister-in-law, can we sit here?" ”

"Naturally." Xiao Junxian asked people to vacate two positions.

As soon as Xiao Shaoyan sat down, she kept pestering Xiao Junxian to talk, talking about things from her childhood.

Qin Sheng didn't interject, eating the dishes casually, recently she had a big appetite and began to gain weight.

The wedding was lively and lively until ten o'clock in the evening, Qin Sheng's biological clock arrived, and he wanted to rest, so Xiao Junxian was ready to take Qin Sheng back to Dongshan.

Xiao Shaoyan suddenly offered to join them, Xiao Guojie drank some wine today, and was sent back to the Xiao family's old mansion first.

Qin Sheng is not a stingy person, so she agreed, but she thought that she was sending Xiao Shaoyan back to the old mansion, but she didn't expect to follow them back to Dongshan to live.

Qin Sheng felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, but he didn't say anything.

Back in Dongshan, Qin Sheng also asked Xiao Junxian to greet Xiao Shaoyan, and she went back to her room to sleep first.

Xiao Junxian naturally felt a little sorry for his daughter-in-law, and asked Ju Ping to clean up the room.

Qin Sheng was really tired, so he fell asleep on the bed, but was awakened by a rapid knock on the door in the second half of the night.

It was Xiao Shaoyan knocking on the door.

Qin Sheng pushed Xiao Junxian in a daze: "You go out and see what's going on." ”

Xiao Junxian got up, tucked the quilt for Qin Sheng, and then put on a piece of clothing and went out: "Shaoyan, what's wrong?" ”

Xiao Shaoyan was wearing a white nightdress, with long black hair draped behind her back, and she was at the door: "Big brother, I had a nightmare, I dreamed that pirates broke in, and I was a little scared and didn't dare to sleep." ”

Somali piracy has always been rampant.

Xiao Junxian said: "It's okay, it's just a nightmare, why don't I let Ju Ping sleep with you?" ”

Xiao Shaoyan didn't agree, didn't shake her head, looked at Xiao Junxian with straight eyes, and asked, "Big brother, why didn't you go to me for so many years?" Don't you love me the most, why didn't you come to me, I've had a bad time all these years. ”

Xiao Junxian didn't look for it, he even went to Somalia to find it in person, at that time, Dark Night was just starting, there was no power in Somalia, and it was nothing even on the road, at that time, only he and Ye Yicheng and Song Zicheng, Ouyang Xun and Bai Xue had not joined at that time, and Dark Night was from three people, and it took more than ten years to have an organization that made the road feared today, and even made people in the Pentagon fearful.

And at that time, they all thought that Xiao Shaoyan was gone, and later, he never went to Somalia again, even if there was a deal there, he sent someone over, and he never went.

Because of the guilt in his heart, stepping on Somali soil will remind him of Xiao Shaoyan's death.

But now it's useless to say that these are all useless, Xiao Junxian brushed the hair on his cheek for Xiao Shaoyan: "Shaoyan, if the eldest brother knows that you are still in the world, he will definitely find you back, I'm sorry." ”

Xiao Shaoyan stared at Xiao Junxian for a long time, and then smiled: "I know that my eldest brother loves me the most." ”

Qin Sheng in the room listened to the intermittent sound of talking outside the door, and her sleepiness also ran away, she sat up and glanced at the door, seeing that Xiao Shaoyan had not returned to the room, she also leaned on the head of the bed, waiting for Xiao Junxian to come in.

Xiao Junxian comforted Xiao Shaoyan for a while, and finally asked Ju Ping to sleep with her, and Xiao Shaoyan went back to the room.

Seeing that Qin Sheng had already sat up, he lifted the quilt and went in: "I'm arguing with you." ”

"Your cousins have a really good relationship, and they have nightmares in the middle of the night and come to you for comfort."

Xiao Junxian smiled: "The vinegar jar is overturned? ”

Qin Sheng was not jealous, she yawned, lay down, nestled in Xiao Junxian's arms, and pillowed his arm: "I think you should find a psychiatrist for Xiao Shaoyan to see, after staying in that environment for so long, there may be some psychological problems." ”

She said it very tactfully, Xiao Shaoyan told her not to tell people about circumcision, and she was not good at mentioning that kind of humiliating thing to Xiao Junxian.

After Xiao Shaoyan told her, she checked the information on the Internet, and heard that people who have been circumcised will have a 50% increase in the probability of suffering from mental illness, and Xiao Shaoyan always comes to her to tell her about her pain at every opportunity, and she doesn't say it in detail, but she has a feeling of Xianglin's sister-in-law, so she proposed to Xiao Junxian to let Xiao Shaoyan see a psychiatrist.

"You're right, I'll take Shaoyan to see a psychiatrist another day." Xiao Junxian hugged Qin Sheng: "Okay, it's not too early, go to sleep." ”

"Hmm." As long as Xiao Junxian was by his side, Qin Sheng would soon be able to fall asleep.

Following.

Qin Sheng got up at eight o'clock as usual and went downstairs for breakfast.

There was an emergency in the dark night, Xiao Junxian left after half of breakfast, Xiao Shaoyan got up a little late, and when she went downstairs, she saw Qin Sheng having breakfast in the restaurant alone, and walked over and greeted with a smile: "Sister-in-law, good morning, where is the eldest brother?" ”

"He's out on business." Qin Sheng asked Ju Ping to bring Xiao Shaoyan's breakfast.

Xiao Shaoyan said: "It's okay for me to go by myself, sister-in-law, or I'll pour you another glass of milk." ”

The words 'no' were still in her mouth, and Xiao Shaoyan had already taken her milk cup into the kitchen.

Qiu Meimei came to breakfast at this time, and Qin Sheng didn't stop Xiao Shaoyan.

"Sister Sheng, do you have my breakfast today?" Qiu Meimei sat down unceremoniously.

"How can I miss yours."

Without Qin Sheng's reminder, Ju Ping went to the kitchen to serve breakfast for Qiu Meimei.

Xiao Shaoyan was pouring milk for Qin Sheng in the kitchen, Ju Ping saw that Xiao Shaoyan was putting something in the milk, and said, "Miss Shaoyan, the young lady doesn't like to put sugar in milk. ”

Ju Ping's sudden voice startled Xiao Shaoyan, and her hand was immediately behind her back, her movement was a little big, and she almost knocked over the milk cup, and some of the milk in the cup spilled out.

Xiao Shaoyan immediately stabilized her somewhat flustered mind and smiled: "I don't know, then I'll pour a glass for my cousin-in-law again." ”

Ju Ping made breakfast for Qiu Meimei and went out, Xiao Shaoyan stood in the kitchen, and when she saw Ju Ping going out, she opened the hand she had been clenching, and quickly burned the paper with white powder in her palm and washed the ashes away with water.

calmed down his nervousness, then walked out with the milk, and put the milk cup in front of Qin Sheng with a smile: "Sister-in-law, I didn't know you didn't like to put sugar just now, so I made a new cup." ”

"Thank you."
