Chapter 69: His Childhood
Chen Yao sat alone in the café recommended to Lan Lan and drank coffee, and came over to drink coffee today to kill time, lamenting that the days were too boring.
The girl who worked in the café for a period of time was envious of Chen Yao, who came over occasionally and was picked up by a different luxury car every time, such a life was too beautiful, and she whispered with the person next to her.
"Who the hell is this man?"
"I don't know."
The man glanced at Chen Yao's direction and shook his head blankly, every time he saw her coming, he sat quietly to drink something, or read a book on the bookshelf, although he was polite to others, he rarely took the initiative to talk to people.
Such a quiet woman makes the people in a store more or less curious about her, but they are embarrassed to come forward to talk, after all, the consumption in the store is very high, and they are either rich or expensive to come here, and they can't afford to offend.
Chen Yao sat in his position and looked at the scenery outside the window in a daze, suddenly heard a phone ringing, and subconsciously reached out to answer the phone.
It's just that the voice on the other end of the phone after connecting the phone made Chen Yao a little confused.
"This wife, your child came to our convenience store to steal again, please come and take care of it."
Chen Yao must have made the wrong call, and just wanted to say no, there was a sound in his ears of a man loudly teaching and dropping things, and now he could only apologize to them according to their words, and let them not embarrass the children first, and hung up the phone after asking the address.
Seeing Chen Yao's expression combined with hearing the sporadic words, the nearby trace department guessed a little bit of the beginning and the end, and saw that she seemed to be planning to take care of this matter.
"Young lady, let's not be idle!"
Chen Yao took a sip of coffee and thought for a while, thinking that the tone of the man on the other end of the phone just now was not good, and the sound of collision kept coming a little worried, thinking about whether to take a look, if someone's parents appeared, they should go out for a walk, and now there is definitely enough time.
"Let's go check it out!"
Seeing Chen Yao's slightly determined expression, the trace department could only order the car to drive over.
The group rushed to the vicinity of the convenience store, and Chen Yao instructed to park the car in a place where they could not see, so as not to be ripped off, and get out of the car and walk to the convenience store to have a look.
When I walked to the door of the store, I saw a big man holding a weak figure hard, and when I got closer, I found that the child was beaten and his nose was bruised and his face was swollen, but he still struggled desperately.
The visitor saw Chen Yao's dress and looked at the child's dress, there were no guests at this point, I originally saw Chen Yao coming over and thought it was the mother of the child who stole something, but when she saw Chen Yao's clothes, she muttered and looked at Chen Yao suspiciously.
"The call was wrong, and I happened to be nearby, so I came over to take a look, so you can let the child go first."
The two husband and wife of the store looked at each other and let go, and as soon as the child was let go, he ran out, and was grabbed by Mu Fei, who was standing at the door, and did not let him move.
"Who provided the number?"
"There's a note on it."
The proprietress took out the mobile phone that was deducted from the child's hand and handed it to Chen Yao.
Chen Yao took the phone and looked at it, and found that the number of the remarks mother was exactly the same as the one used now.
Looking at the child as if he hadn't taken good care of it for a long time, this is a pretty delicate child, but I don't know how it ended up like this, and he should be a school student wearing a school uniform.
Chen Yao dared to look directly at his gaze when he saw this child, but the strong pretend in his eyes inexplicably felt a little distressed, this eye was very similar to a person.
Chen Yao paid the bill for him and asked Mu Fei to let go of him by the way, and saw the back of the child running away to give him a look, and just noticed that the child was red-eyed when he heard the word mother, so he asked Mu Fei to follow and take a look.
Chen Yao sat in the car and waited for more than half an hour, and saw Mu Fei running back to tell her about the child, the child's name was Sheng Xia, and his parents were both locals who were in the second year of junior high school nearby.
The parents owed a little debt before their deaths, the family's money and all valuable things were robbed by debt collectors, the elders in the family have also left, the relatives are also very indifferent and have no family affection, and no one is willing to take care of Midsummer.
Midsummer actually has a half-brother, but he has been away from home for many years since he was a rebellious child, and there has been no news until now, and he has not even come back to attend the funeral.
Chen Yao couldn't do anything but sigh when he heard Mu Fei's reply, after all, he was just an outsider, so he asked Mu Fei to send a little money to the convenience store, and told the two people to give him a little food if they saw him coming or passing by, which was also a little bit of heart.
Shen Congyi came back and went straight back to the room and opened the bedroom to find that the light was not even turned on today, what was wrong.
Chen Yao, who was sleeping lightly, vaguely found that she was being held, and her arms were strong and hot.
"From there, you're back."
"Yes."
Shen Congzhi hugged Chen Yao tightly, and after getting along for a long time, he could feel that Chen Yao was in a bad mood now, and both of them were a little silent at this moment, Shen Congzhi was afraid that Chen Yao was homesick, so he didn't dare to take the initiative to say anything.
Chen Yao leaned close to Shen Congzhi and did not speak, the reason why she asked people to help take care of the child named Shengxia was that in addition to his poor life experience, there was also the fact that the child had eyes that were a little similar to Shen Congzhi, which reminded her of Shen Congzhi's childhood.
That child is not too young, but seeing his embarrassed appearance of leaving the protection of his parents made Chen Yao think that Shen Congzhi had no mother at the age of four, and he must have had a hard time growing up alone in the lamp district.
That past is not something that people like me who have been pampered by my parents since I was a child can understand, and now I am a little panicked.
"From then on, how did you get by when you were a child?"
"Yaoyao, why did you suddenly ask this?"
"I want to hear it."
"That's it."
Grab food with wild dogs, and live a humble life.
Shen Cong subconsciously hugged Chen Yao tightly, it was a sad time, and he was running around every day not to be starved to death.
Chen Yao felt Shen Congzhi's mood was low and snuggled into his arms.
"At least you learned your skills because you were favored by others because you experienced those days, even if you don't replace Shen Congzhi, you can live well, and you are lucky."
"I'm really lucky."
"yes."
In the darkness, Shen Congzhi opened his eyes, and his tone became serious.
"Yaoyao, I just mean, when I met you, if I grew up here, I wouldn't have met you."
Chen Yao had a hint of stiffness at this moment, she flattered Twilight every day on the island in order to live, and now she is alive, but it seems that she can't escape for the rest of her life, she has no real freedom, she can't see her parents and friends, and this day is a little sad......
