Xiao Family Turmoil (5)



I knew that Xiao Se suspected that Lin Enmo had added salt to my bird's nest porridge, and I was uneasy and couldn't help but follow upstairs. On the third floor, I saw them enter one of the rooms.

I crept closer, the door of the room was open, and the voices inside were distinct.

"Enmo, you answer me frankly, did you add a lot of salt to Tong Xin's bird's nest porridge?" Xiao Se still asked gently.

"Why would I do that?" Lin Enmo asked rhetorically.

"I'm waiting for you to tell me the answer." Xiao Se seemed to believe that Lin Enmo did it. But what do you want to do with so much salt? I'm not stupid, just taste it.

"Brother Xiao Se, you can't deny my present because of the mistakes I made in the past." Lin Enmo's voice was pitiful, I thought she was no longer pretending to be weak and pitiful, it turned out that when she faced Xiao Se alone, she was still the same, "I didn't add any salt, I didn't get close to bird's nest porridge at all." I know that what happened before made you very angry, and I have apologized to you, and I have not troubled Tong Xin again. When you come back this time, I will try my best to control myself, and I will not dare to pester you like before, for fear of being hated by you......"

"You answer me one more question." Xiao Se interrupted her, "Wasn't it you who entered Tong Xin's room last night?" ”

Although I didn't like Lin Enmo, I didn't want to see her wronged, so I couldn't help but walk in. Lin Enmo was sitting on the chair in a daze, without saying a word or moving, with a miserable look on his face.

"It was Aunt Ye who came into my room last night." I clarified to Xiao Se, "When I was in the restaurant in the morning, Aunt Ye told me that she wanted to see if my quilt was thick enough, and I didn't have time to tell you. ”

Xiao Se was slightly stunned, pressed his hand on Lin Enmo's shoulder, and said in a low voice, "I'm sorry, I misunderstood." ”

Lin Enmo raised her face, and gradually, her eyes moistened, and the mist condensed in her eyes, and finally turned into crystal teardrops, falling down her cheeks. That pear blossom with rain, if I were a man, I would definitely be distressed, heartbeat, and confused by her.

"I didn't put the salt either." Lin Enmo looked at Xiao Se with a pair of teary eyes, "I'm so bad in your eyes?" What bad thing first thought I did? ”

Xiao Se was speechless, his expression was the same confused as mine, it was indeed not Lin Enmo who entered my room, but it was the one who put salt in the bird's nest porridge, and I couldn't be sure if it was her.

After a while, Xiao Se hesitated and asked, "So, is it you who replaced my computer desktop photo?" ”

"I was the one who changed the photo, and I don't deny that. Brother Xiao Se, you are so ruthless, my only poor wish now is that you still have a little thought about me, a little bit is enough, but you don't even want to satisfy me. Lin Enmo wiped away the tears on his cheeks with the back of his hand, and shook his head slightly at Xiao Se, the pair of black and white eyes that were washed by tears revealed an innocent look, very sad innocent, very quiet innocent. I'm going to work, I hope you can find out and give me justice. I also hope that you will be able to keep my photos. ”

Her gaze shifted to my face, and it suddenly became cold, so cold that I shivered.

After Lin Enmo left, Xiao Se and I looked at each other.

"Forget it, whether it's her or not, don't pursue it, and keep her photos on the table, so as not to irritate her again." I'm really afraid that Lin Enmo will be stimulated again, and if he goes crazy again, the consequences will be unimaginable.

He wrapped his arm around my shoulder. "Tell me what happened when you wake up in the morning."

I leaned my forehead on his shoulder, leaned against him, and slowly and carefully recounted. He listened carefully, then let go of me and paced back and forth in the room, as if thinking about something.

I looked around the room, it was a study room, with a large area of bookshelves and a dazzling array of books, like a library of books.

Finally, Xiao Se stood still in front of me.

"What are you thinking?" I asked.

He pressed his hands on my shoulders, leaned over to look at me, and said in a low voice, "I can't think of anyone else who would target you if it weren't for Lin Enmo." ”

"Don't think about it." I didn't want to embarrass him, "It's just a handful of salt, and I didn't get hurt, so what do you do, I know your time is precious." ”

He looked at me, his eyes focused and fixed. "I'm going to my dad's company in the morning to attend the Bailu Lake plot project planning and design plan discussion. Keep an eye on yourself and call me right away if you notice something wrong. ”

I nodded. "Can I come to the study and read a book?"

"Absolutely." He said, "This is my study, and all the books are mine, you can read whatever you want." ”

"All the books are yours?" I exclaimed, "You're so well-read." ”

He looked at me deeply. "No matter how many books you read, it's not as important as a book."

"What book?" I asked.

"The name of the book is 'Tong Xin'" his eyes shone on me, "You are a book that can never be finished." ”

I smiled, and my heart beat with joy.

His hand moved to my chin and lifted my head, and his eyes were hazy and he looked at me without a moment's notice. I gazed at him as time passed quietly under our gaze. After a while, he jumped up: "Oh no, I'm almost late!" ”

He hurried downstairs, ate a casual piece of bread, and went out.

Sister-in-law Jin stewed rock sugar bird's nest again, and specially went upstairs to invite me down to eat, she was still worried about what happened just now, and she muttered all the way that she really didn't put salt, and she didn't understand how that bowl of porridge could be salty like that. I comforted her in turn and told her not to take it to heart.

After eating bird's nest, I walked out of the dining room and saw Ye Juan sitting on the sofa in the living room, looking up at the huge black and white photo of the leaf warbler on the wall. She tilted her head slightly, her eyes were fixed, as well as the pointed chin and delicate neck, and her whole person and posture were like wax figures displayed in a wax museum.

I walked towards Ye Juan, and the sound of footsteps alarmed her. She looked back at me blankly, as if I had been a stranger who had suddenly crashed in.

"Aunt Ye." I nodded and smiled at her.

"Come and sit." She whispered.

I sat down next to her and looked at the picture on the wall.

She let out a deep sigh, whispering, muttering to herself: "My sister's picture is beautiful, she will always be dazzling, even if the person is no longer there, her light still covers me, I can only live in her shadow." In this family, her status will always be higher than mine. ”

I heard her grievances and helplessness, and an indescribable emotion surged in my heart, and I could only comfort her: "The deceased is greater, and her status is higher, which is normal." ”

She looked at me, and stopped talking. I looked at her quietly, and finally, she asked, "Do you love Xiao Se very much?" ”

I let out a soft "um".

"Are you sure he loves you too?" She asked again.

"Sure." I answered without hesitation.

"Then take him tightly, and don't let other women take advantage of it, whether before or after marriage. The most taboo thing in marriage is the shadow of a third party. Your lover must belong to you alone in order for you to be happy. Her expression was so lonely and gloomy, I was shocked by her gaze, "Don't be like me, never have a chance to be happy." ”

"How could it be ......?" I was amazed.

Her face was extremely pale, and her black eyes were as black as bottomless pools, "In the eyes of others, I am a happy woman, with a husband with a successful career, living the life of Mrs. Kuo, enjoying all the glory and wealth. But they don't know that my husband, he has only responsibility to me, no love. ”

I was overwhelmed by her deep sorrow, and couldn't help but shout: "Aunt Ye! ”

She faced me, and before I could open my mouth, she said desolate and sadly, "Marriage cannot be wrong, I was wrong in the first place." It's too hard to compete with a third party for a long time, and it's too sad to have different dreams in the same bed. After I got sick, I figured it out a lot, and I gave my mind to the Buddha to seek peace and tranquility. However, the trees want to be quiet and the wind does not stop! ”

"What do you mean?" I asked, stunned.

There was a deep sadness in her eyes, and after a while, she suddenly realized something and said, "What am I telling you to do here, don't let you be afraid, you won't dare to come to the house in the future."

"Madam, it's time for an injection." There was a woman coming down from the upper floor, probably in her forties, with short ear-length hair and a neat appearance.

Ye Juan said that this is her personal nurse and nutritionist Chen Jie.

I understood that Chen Jie was what everyone called Nurse Chen, so I hurriedly thanked her: "Thank you, Nurse Chen, and specially opened a nutrition list for me." ”

Chen Jie smiled kindly. "It's just a gesture, don't be so polite."

Chen Jie and Ye Juan went upstairs, and I watched Ye Juan's weak figure gradually disappear on the stairs, as if she was also infected by her, and sighed faintly.

I practiced in my room, and when I was resting, I went to the study to read, or I walked in the courtyard to enjoy the poetry and painting of "shaking the beautiful scenery and covering the courtyard deeply". The day passed quickly. During the day, the house was very quiet, Lin Enmo went to work, Xiao Xuxing went to school, Xiong Qianyu came back from running, had breakfast, and went out. At noon, only Ye Juan and I had lunch at home, and Xiao Se and Xiao Pengcheng did not come back. Ye Juan and I had lunch in the restaurant together, and Chen Jie was also with us. I remember that last night Xiao Pengcheng said that Ye Juan wanted to use separate cooking utensils and tableware, and would not eat with everyone, so he asked about it.

Ye Juan sneered slightly. "It's not that I don't eat with everyone, but I don't want to eat at the same table with people I hate. There were annoying people, so I ate alone in the room with Nurse Chen.

At dinner, everyone else came back, and Ye Juan hid back in his room to eat. I take a look at the people at the whole table, Xiao Se, Xiao Pengcheng, Xiao Xuxing, Lin Enmo and Xiong Qianyu, the person Ye Juan hates is definitely not me, and it will not be her biological son Xiao Xuxing.

I don't think it's very likely to be Xiao Se, and Ye Juan also asked me to catch him, obviously with a blessing attitude towards us. So the other three, Xiao Pengcheng, Lin Enmo and Xiong Qianyu, are they Xiao Pengcheng? The man who has only responsibility for her and no love, she has been so disappointed that she refuses to even eat at the same table with him?
