Finding Maruko is not only Zhao Qingluo's idea, but also the idea of everyone around her, after all, no one will be indifferent to the disappearance of a child in Ireland.

As long as there is a little hope, everyone will not give up easily, but this matter is also very strange, as if God deliberately wanted to make this joke with them, deliberately arranged for Xiao Maruko to leave when Yue Qi was imprisoned and the MK group was gradually getting better.

Compared with coincidence, Zhao Qingluo is more willing to believe that this matter was deliberately created by someone, as for what the purpose is, in fact, the purpose is obvious, it is not to want Zhao Qingluo and Yue Tingcheng to have a good time.

The two of them are both strong and oppressive in terms of appearance, background and career, to say that the people who hate them are really a big handful, it is still a little difficult to find a person who maliciously destroys their lives from so many people to tell the truth, and Zhao Qingluo is not willing to be suspicious of others for no reason and impose trumped-up charges on others.

If there is a debtor, whoever commits a crime should bear it, this is her bottom line, and her principles cannot be changed at will.

It's just that this kind of guilt that can't be placed often affects herself, and also affects the people around her, because no one is willing to buy other people's negative emotions, so Zhao Qingluo can only force herself to restrain her emotions with difficulty, but the consequence of her doing so is to make herself more tired and drag herself into a more painful place.

She is not in the mood to work, she has tried not to think about other things and devote herself to work, as long as she is busy, she will not care about other things, that is, others say that she is ruthless, and her top priority is to calm herself down.

But her plan failed before she could take the first step.

Familiar customers called her to ask for tips on decorating a new home, but the absent-minded Zhao Qingluo couldn't remember the family's preferences for a while, and remembered a lot of details, for example, this family did not have children, but Zhao Qingluo arranged a baby room for them, and for example, this family is a scholarly family, it stands to reason that the study should be decorated more chic, but Zhao Qingluo forgot this.

The result is, of course, that her finished product is not very satisfying, but the female customer is quite emotional, especially after hearing the recent troubles mentioned by Zhao Qingluo when she apologized, she also generously tolerated Zhao Qingluo, of course, she still told Zhao Qingluo to contact her as soon as possible after recovering her spirit, otherwise their new house will be idle for a long time according to this situation, and then it will be expensive and laborious to make a big change.

Zhao Qingluo knew that she was at a loss, so naturally she was what others said, she numbly archived this work in a memo, but she hesitated when she chose the reminder time.

Maruko didn't come back, and she didn't know when her heart would settle down.

"Qingluo, haven't you been to the studio for a long time." It's not questioning, it's caring.

Lin Wan knew how to comfort the other party at such a time, she wanted to let Zhao Qingluo recover her vitality is not to be distracted by other things for the time being, so she didn't wait for Zhao Qingluo to answer her question, she had already continued her words, she said: "I know that your mind is not on work now, you don't have to embarrass yourself, you can rest assured that the studio has us." ”

"You are naturally reassuring to me, and it is not an ordinary reassurance. Does this just make you too tired? The corners of Zhao Qingluo's mouth raised slightly, but she couldn't see the smile hidden in it, it looked more like a smile that was deliberately squeezed out.

Tired, the word came out of Zhao Qingluo's mouth, but it didn't describe her herself, it seemed a little unruly, compared to two people who were just helping, shouldn't she be more busy.

Lin Yuan didn't quite understand the meaning of Zhao Qingluo's words, she shook her head decisively and said, "How can we be too tired, it's you who are obviously tired, and we are just a little tired at best." You can rest assured, the studio will be handed over to us. ”

Zhao Qingluo cast a grateful look at the person, and then she mentioned the suggestion that Lin Yuan made not long ago, she specially asked the children to go up to the second floor to play, and then she beckoned Lin Yuan and Lin Wan to sit closer, and then whispered: "I have thought about having a child again before when you just said it, but this matter is not good after all." Considering that the relationship between Baozi and Maruko is so deep, I think that if the two of them have a feeling of being abandoned by their parents in order to fill the vacancy in the hearts of Tingcheng and me, we are still unhappy with a new child, right? ”

Lin Wan listened and nodded, compared to Lin Yuan, she was still relatively calm, many things could not be rash and could not only consider herself, after all, when making a decision, you should think about its impact on other people.

"Listen to the city, doesn't he have a mind about it? Or did you not talk to him about it. Lin Wan asked.

Zhao Qingluo nodded in agreement with what she said, and said, "I don't dare to discuss this matter with Tingcheng, I don't think he will agree." ”

This is also a real headache, all of a sudden the three of them can't think of any countermeasures, now the only practical way is to find Xiao Maruko as soon as possible, but where is Xiao Maruko, they just rack their brains and can't think of one or two.

Lin Wan thought of a more compromise method, she proposed: "You can discuss this matter with Tingcheng, and then make a decision based on the opinions of the two people." If two people have different ideas and hold each other back, they will definitely find a satisfactory answer to the problem, what do you say? ”

Lin Wan was right

, even Lin Yuan couldn't refute it after hearing it, how could he obviously want to express the same meaning, the effect of the two people is so different, does this really have a lot to do with how much he reads?

The three of them chatted for a long time that day, and when they were almost done, they looked back at the scenery outside the window and realized that it was already dark.

The two noisy little guys were already sleeping in a small corner, Zhao Qingluo wanted to keep them down to eat, but was rejected by the other two people, the two of them were very unified, as if they had already discussed it at the beginning, they all felt that staying here at this time and letting Zhao Qingluo cook was simply occupying people's rest time.

The refusal of the two people made Zhao Qingluo lose the reason to keep them, she thought about sending them off, just sent to the door and was almost sent back, she had to stand helplessly at the door and wave her hand to the two people, just as a solemn goodbye.

Closing the door and placing herself in a lonely environment again, Zhao Qingluo could hardly imagine that there were other people here not long ago, and every step she took back to the room felt a heavy atmosphere that was oppressing her from extricating herself from the painful atmosphere.

She was desperate to find someone to talk to, but it was still a long time before Yue Tingcheng returned, and it was difficult for her to ensure that she would not be overwhelmed by the flood of emotions during this quiet time.

So she thought about it for a while, and decisively went to her grandmother's house, wanting to hear some sincere advice from this old man, who was a level higher than herself in terms of experience and mentality, so she took the cart from the underground garage and rushed to her grandmother's house non-stop.

Zhuang Guizhi's home is some distance away from where Zhao Qingluo and Yue Tingcheng now live, Zhuang Guizhi's house stands in the middle of the urban-rural junction, there are leisurely fields, and there is also the sound of rumbling cars, this place is not lively, quiet is not quiet, in Zhao Qingluo's opinion, this place is not suitable for the elderly, but the old man just likes to live here.

It is said that living here has a special taste for life.

Zhao Qingluo, who grew up with her grandmother snuggling up to each other, naturally won't dismiss people's face, and as long as she is comfortable and happy to live, then it is enough.

The definition of home is not a house with gorgeous decorations, but a gathering place with memories and feelings.

Zhao Qingluo cautiously pushed open the door, the dim old-fashioned lamp above her head was still dangling in place, dissipating that light on her face, welcoming her arrival, she walked all the way but failed to see Zhuang Guizhi's figure in the living room, she heard the sound of knocking from upstairs and quickly went upstairs to look for someone.

Sure enough, Zhuang Guizhi was the maker of the knock knock sound, and when she heard the sound of someone pushing the door in, she subconsciously glanced back, and saw that Zhao Qingluo did not hide but smiled

Smile and say hello.

"Why are you here?"

"I came to you to ask you to do me a little favor......" Zhao Qingluo's gaze crossed Zhuang Guizhi's head and saw that people were busy with things, this old man was putting things in a large suitcase, Zhao Qingluo glanced at the decoration in the room again, the cabinet on the shelf was already empty, and those things that disappeared inexplicably appeared in the suitcase without exception.

Without waiting for Zhao Qingluo to open her mouth to ask a question, the old man spoke, and she said, "Then it is a coincidence that you came, I, I, am going to leave this place and return to my original place." ”

Zhao Qingluo didn't understand her grandmother's intentions, she squatted down to check the things in the suitcase, which contained her grandmother's favorite clothes and the most precious things, it seemed that she had made up her mind, and she couldn't stop it.

Maybe bad things will always happen one after another, and now not only can't I find Xiao Maruko, but as a grandmother who is really related by blood, I have to leave myself in such a place of right and wrong, completely regardless of how painful I am.

Zhao Qingluo felt that not only was it dark outside, but her heart was also dark, and the light that had supported her to this day no longer shone as if it had suddenly malfunctioned, leaving her in the dark.
