Chapter 32: Breaking with His Family
Sixteenth floor.
Zhang Haoxuan pressed the fingerprint unlock password, opened the door, put down the briefcase at the entrance, and walked straight to the bedroom.
The man had a slight cleanliness fetish, and the apartment was spotlessly cleaned by the hourly workers who came on a regular basis. The black, white and gray decoration style is smooth, simple and stylish, and the unique lamps emit dazzling light, bringing a sense of brightness to the whole space and sweeping away the restraint in the apartment.
In the bedroom, above the large bed, hangs a picture of a girl with gilded edges. The girl in the photo, a lock of beautiful hair flying slightly, hands supporting cheeks, a pair of beautiful eyes looking forward to charming, like jade fat delicate smile, beautiful fresh and refined.
The man walked to the side of the bed, looked at the girl in the photo in a daze, and whispered, "Lei Lei, why...... To be so indifferent to me? ”
He took off his blazer, put it on the small couch across from the bed, and walked into the bathroom with his bathrobe......
Mu Xiaolei and Zhang Yurou opened the apartment door and walked in. Mu Shaoqiang was watching the news on TV, and when he saw them come in, he turned off the TV and pushed his wheelchair over.
"Yurou, where did you go this afternoon? I called you a lot and didn't answer it. ”
The man's tone was calm and gentle, and it was difficult for Zhang Yurou to associate the shameless foul language she overheard with this man. She imagined the dirty picture of the man in front of her entangled with other women in her mind, and there was a trace of disgust in her heart!
She didn't reply, but Mu Xiaolei said, "Dad, we went shopping in the afternoon." Maybe it was too noisy outside to be heard. ”
"Lei Lei, didn't you say there was something going on at school? Yurou's face is not very good, what are you hiding from me......"
Mu Shaoqiang's face showed a trace of excitement, staring at the two people in silence for a long time.
"Yurou, what's wrong with you? Tell me something. We are husband and wife, you don't want to walk away all afternoon without saying a word and make me worried. Is it that now that I am crippled, you dislike me? A look of pain appeared on his face.
Zhang Yurou suddenly felt that the man in front of her was not only disgusting, but also a drama spirit, otherwise how could he sing a good show in a grand manner? She didn't understand the man anymore.
"Mu Shaoqiang, I have asked myself for so many years, I haven't done anything to be sorry for you, let alone dislike you, it's just that you ......"
At this moment, a crisp doorbell interrupted what she was about to say. Mu Xiaolei turned around and opened the door, and Zhang Haoxuan was standing outside in casual clothes.
Zhang Haoxuan smiled slightly, "Xiaolei, this is the fruit I bought for my uncle and aunt, you help me give it to them, I'll go back." ”
Before Mu Xiaolei could speak, Zhang Yurou walked out with a smile on her face, "Haoxuan, come in, what are you doing standing there?" You sit down with Lei Lei for a while, and I'll cook for you. ”
"I won't bother, aunt, another day!" The man raised the corners of his lips gracefully.
"What's another day? Just today. You've helped us so much, and your aunt sees you like her own child! Let's go, let's go in with Leilei. Zhang Yurou took Zhang Haoxuan's arm and walked into the apartment.
Mu Xiaolei never said a word.
In the apartment, Mu Shaoqiang's obscure eyes flashed with a sly light, and he was suspicious, could it be that this woman knew something?
When he saw Zhang Haoxuan coming in, he put away the displeasure on his face, and the corners of his eyes rose slightly, "Haoxuan, come in, uncle just has something to ask you." Xiaolei, you come in too. ”
Mu Shaoqiang pushed the wheelchair to the living room, and Zhang Haoxuan sat down on the sofa.
Mu Xiaolei walked in with difficulty, a thin layer of sweat oozing from her forehead.
"Xiaolei, what's wrong with your leg?" Zhang Haoxuan could see her discomfort at a glance.
Mu Xiaolei told the story of today's encounter with the robbers simply and clearly, and did not mention that she was almost robbed by the hooligans.
Zhang Yurou, who was cooking in the kitchen, heard their conversation and walked out.
"Leilei, why did you lie to your mother? Why didn't you tell me about it? ”
Mu Xiaolei's eyes dodged......
Zhang Haoxuan pondered in his heart, Lei Lei lied again, today's matter is not so simple......
"Aren't you afraid that you and your father will worry? It's not that I can't hide it anymore. Dad, I actually called my mother away this afternoon. I had a bruised leg and I didn't want you to know, so I called my mom. ”
"Well, Shaoqiang...... I shouldn't have been mad at you just now. It was indeed Lei Lei who asked me to go out with her. Zhang Yurou's mood calmed down a lot, now is not the time for a showdown, in case Mu Shaoqiang doesn't admit it, everything is in vain!
"Yurou, it's okay if you're okay, I'm not worried about you?" The man's heart was slightly questioning, but there was nothing unusual on his face.
"It would be nice to explain it all now...... You talk, the water is boiling, I'll cook for you. ”
"Well, go ahead." The man smiled gently. "Xiaolei, be careful in the future, come, sit down quickly. Dad just had something to say. ”
The man glanced at Zhang Haoxuan and said slowly, "Haoxuan, do you think Lei Lei's illness can be taken care of?" ”
"Uncle, it's okay, it's just a matter of time. As long as Xiaolei actively cooperates with the treatment, she will be able to recover in less than half a year. ”
"Oh? Hehe, that's great. Yurou, did you hear that? Our Leilei can be recovered. A bright smile appeared on the man's face.
Zhang Yurou's hand kneading her face stopped, walked out of the kitchen, and said with a smile: "Haoxuan, is what you said true?" Lei Lei...... Is it recoverable? ”
Zhang Haoxuan nodded seriously, tears flashed in Zhang Yurou's eyes, and Mu Xiaolei was even more excited.
Mu Shaoqiang pulled Mu Xiaolei's hand, and the warm palm covered her small hand. "Lei Lei, what Dad wants to say is to let Haoxuan take you out of here...... When you come back, you'll be fully recovered. ”
All three of them had their eyes on the man in disbelief.
"Dad, what did you say? I ......" Mu Xiaolei was a little emotional, and the man patted her hand, "Listen to me." ”
"I've consulted the doctor, and the earliest time for my leg to recover is six months later. During this time, how could Lei Lei's emotions be stable? The burden on my family is quite heavy, and I don't want to put this burden on Lei Lei's thin shoulders, especially since she is in the onset of illness at any time......"
The man set his eyes on Zhang Haoxuan, "Haoxuan, I want to entrust Lei Lei to you, only if you are together, I can rest assured and take care of my legs." ”
Zhang Yurou also looked at Zhang Haoxuan, "Haoxuan, your uncle's words are very reasonable. In my heart, I have long regarded you as my son-in-law. Only if you leave with Lei Lei will her illness be fully recovered! ”
Mu Xiaolei's face was pale, her expression was painful, and tears flowed silently down her delicate cheeks.
"What are you talking about? Why...... Let him take me away without my consent? Have you asked me if I would like to......"
"Leilei, Mom and Dad are also for your own good. Do you want to be mentally ill for the rest of your life? Mu Shaoqiang's voice raised decibels.
"For my good? But have you ever thought about my feelings, I don't want to go with him...... I don't love him, how can I go with him? Mu Xiaolei's fair cheeks were flushed, her teeth bit her lips and trembled slightly, and the sound of crying kept ringing out.
"Uncle, aunt, don't force Lei Lei, I thank you for your trust and are willing to hand Lei Lei over to me. It's just that...... Lei Lei agreed. The man's melancholy eyes drooped his eyelids.
"Lei Lei, if you still recognize me as a father, just follow Haoxuan, and come back when you recover." Mu Shaoqiang's eyes burst out with a chill.
"No, I'm not leaving...... I'm not going to go with him. ”
"Lei Lei listens to her mother, you can go. When will it be good to stay here? Can't you understand your mother's painstaking efforts? Zhang Yurou's eyes were full of tears.
"Don't talk about it...... I'm not going to say yes. ”
Mu Xiaolei's attitude was resolute, deeply stinging the man's internal organs.
"Uncle, aunt, I'll go out first......" Zhang Haoxuan's hands were clenched into fists, the green tendons on his forehead were bulging, his heart was like a knife, and he walked out in pain.
"Haoxuan, you ......" Zhang Yurou's words were drowned out in the sound of the door closing......
"Lei Lei, you have to go, you have to go, you have to go if you don't go, I won't let you act recklessly! Tomorrow I will send you to leave with Zhang Haoxuan. Mu Shaoqiang looked at Mu Xiaolei angrily, his eyes widening.
"No, I don't, I already have a man I like." Mu Xiaolei almost blurted out.
"Like the man? Don't you know how to be polite and honest when you say such things? It's not good to study at such a young age, and it's still in love. It's a shame that your mother and I wasted a lot of hard work to raise you so much! ”
"Lei Lei, when did you fall in love?"
"It wasn't long ago."
"No, you hurry up and break up with him, my mother won't agree. Who wants to be friends with you in your situation? You must have been deceived by someone......" Zhang Yurou hid her face and cried.
"No, Mom...... Don't cry, he knows ......"
"Know what? Know you're a psychopath? Mu Xiaolei, I don't care if you have a relationship with him? You have to follow Zhang Haoxuan to me, and never come back, I don't want to see you again! Mu Shaoqiang pointed at her nose and scolded.
"No ......"
"Smack!" A crisp voice rang out. Mu Xiaolei's cheeks hurt hotly, and her ears were buzzing.
She raised her head and looked at Mu Shaoqiang in despair...... Covering his cheeks, he ran out.
"Why do you beat her when you scold?" Zhang Yurou sat on the ground, tears rolling down her eyes.
"Yurou, let's pack up our things, I'll take you back to your hometown tomorrow, just as if you didn't raise this rebel girl!"
"Shaoqiang, don't be like this, I'll leave Bulei ......"
"I'll go back myself!" The man angrily pushed the wheelchair back to the bedroom.
……
Mu Xiaolei walked out of the gate of the community in despair, she will be homeless in the future, will Han Wei want herself?
She took out her phone and dialed the man's number, and the call was answered almost instantly.
"What's wrong, Leilei?"
Mu Xiaolei didn't speak, sobbing in pain......
"Don't say anything, I'll go now, you stay where you are and don't go." The man hung up the phone anxiously and ran downstairs......
