Seeing Bai Yang follow his mother into the bedroom, and Bai Mu closed the bedroom door, Liu Yan suddenly felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere, and couldn't help asking, "Auntie, what's wrong?" ”

Zhao Yingying stuck out her tongue and said softly, "My brother is going to be punished again." ”

"Punished, punished by what?" Liu Yan asked in surprise.

At this time, Zhao Yingying's father on the side glared at his daughter, so frightened that Zhao Yingying shrank her neck, revealing a bitter gourd face, shook her head and did not continue to explain.

After Poplar followed his mother into the bedroom, Poplar turned her back to him, took down a bamboo stick from the wall, and said sternly, "Do you kneel yourself, or I beat you to your knees!" ”

Looking at the bamboo strip that exposed his mother's body, Bai Yang's eyes couldn't help but shrink, this bamboo strip left an indelible mark on his heart, and almost every time he made a mistake when he was a child, he could not escape the punishment of this bamboo strip.

"Mom, don't you believe me?" He asked rhetorically.

"Believe, huh, how do you make me believe you?" The white mother turned around with red eyes and asked.

Hearing his mother's words, the grievances hidden in Poplar's heart instantly exploded.

"Heh, Mom, what did I do wrong that made you unwilling to believe me since you were a child?" Poplar asked emotionally.

"Shut up, what have you done wrong, don't you know yourself! Do you want to be an irresponsible man like your biological father! Bai Mu shouted angrily with red eyes, because she was too excited, the bamboo strip in her hand shook up and down.

"I know, I know you hate him, so you transfer your hatred for him onto me, right?" Bai Yang suddenly felt that his heart was very painful, he thought that he was happier than Liu Yanlai, but the moment the truth was revealed, he felt hopeless.

"You bastard, what are you talking about!" The white mother angrily raised the bamboo stick in her hand and pumped it towards the poplar.

With a slight stretch of his hand, Poplar grabbed the bamboo stick that his mother had whipped at him in his right hand, and no matter how much his mother twitched, he could not move a single bit.

A sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth, a wry smile, and a complex and inexplicable self-deprecation.

"You hate him, I don't resent you, to be honest, I hate too, but you shouldn't use me as a tool to transfer resentment because you hate him, I am your son, not a beast, when I was a child, I fought with others, and you didn't even ask the reason to beat me with this, have you thought about my mood at the time, heh, now that I've grown up, you're still the same, the same hasn't changed, I'm telling the truth, you still don't want to believe me, and you still want to beat me with this bamboo stick, have you ever thought about my feelings?"

Poplar turned his head to look at the bamboo strip he was holding in his hand, and his red eyes were almost on fire.

He sneered, and with the strength of his hand, he instantly crushed the bamboo strip in his hand, and then turned away without heading.

Looking at the broken bamboo strip in two, Bai Mu was stunned, watching her son leave, and was speechless for a while.

After walking out of the room, Bai Yang took a deep breath, and after recovering his emotions, he said to Liu Yan with a concerned face: "Liu Yan, let's go." ”

Liu Yan opened her mouth to say something, but when she saw Bai Yang walking out, she could only helplessly show a hint of apology to Zhao Yingying and them, and then stood up and followed.

"Brother!" Zhao Yingying couldn't help but shout.

Poplar stood in the doorway and paused for a moment, but finally sighed, shook his head, and continued to walk outside.

Sitting in the car, Topol's tears could no longer be suppressed from his eyes.

Liu Yan on the side looked at Bai Yang, took out a tissue from the paper box and handed it to him without speaking.

Poplar took the tissue, a wry smile appeared on his face, and said self-deprecatingly: "I let you see a joke today." ”

Liu Yan smiled and shook her head, and comforted: "No, I believe what you said is true, your mother should have misunderstood you." ”

"Thank you, thank you for believing in me." Bai Yang said with a grateful smile, and then he shook his head and said with a wry smile: "My mother didn't misunderstand me, but she never believed me, it was like this when I was a child, and it was the same when I grew up, and when I grew up, I would change her opinion of me, and I only now realize how wrong my idea was." ”

Liu Yan looked at Poplar with a painful face, she hesitated for a moment, and said softly: "Poplar, do you know, in fact, I can see that your mother loves you very much." ”

"Love me?" Poplar couldn't help but show a wry smile on his face, he turned his head to look out the window, took a deep breath, and asked softly, "Have you ever tried to be whipped with a bamboo strip?" ”

Liu Yan couldn't help but be stunned, shook her head, and said softly, "No." ”

"When I was a child, every time I made a mistake, my mother would indiscriminately take bamboo sticks and pump them on me, until my skin was opened, and I still can't forget the pain that pierced my heart." Bai Yang's eyes looked out of the window blankly, and his mind couldn't help but think of the scene when he was ten years old because the neighbor's Ah Fat scolded him for being a mongrel, a drag oil bottle, and scolded his mother for being a bitch, he was angry and beat Ah Fat's nose and eyes were swollen, and then Ah Fat's parents came to the door, and his mother indiscriminately used bamboo strips to open the skin of his whipping in front of outsiders.

Seeing Bai Yang's right hand touching his forehead, Liu Yan's eyes also looked at his forehead.

On weekdays, she couldn't see it because of the hair covering it, but then she noticed that there was a scar on the hairline of Poplar's head with a color that was very different from the surrounding skin.

"What is this scar?" She asked, gasping.

"When I was ten years old, when my mother used a bamboo stick on my body, the bamboo stick accidentally threw it on my head, at that time I thought I was dead, to be honest I really wish I was dead at that time, but my life was too hard, but I was saved after five stitches in the hospital, but since then I have an extra scar on my forehead, I don't dare to comb my hair on weekdays, last time in order to propose to you, I made up my mind to cut myself on my back." Poplar said casually.

At first, Liu Yan was quite depressed, she didn't expect that Bai Yang's childhood would be so painful, but when she heard Bai Yang mention the marriage proposal, she couldn't help but laugh out loud.

To be honest, her heart is still full of contradictions, gratitude, hesitation, resistance, and a hint of resignation.

She can't tell what kind of feelings she has for Poplar, like a couple but not like a couple, like a relative but not like a relative, looking more like a pair of confidantes.

"I'm sorry to remind you of the sad past." Liu Yan apologized.

"It's fine." Bai Yang shook his head and said softly, then looked at Liu Yan with a smile and said, "Saying what is in my heart makes me feel a lot more relaxed all of a sudden, thank you." ”

"You once told me that we are husband and wife, and we don't need to say thank you, and today you have already said thank you to me several times." Seeing Bai Yang's smiling face again, Liu Yan couldn't help but feel a little relieved, and said with a smile.

Bai Yang looked at Liu Yan and was stupidly stunned.

Seeing that Baiyang didn't speak and looked at herself blankly, Liu Yan couldn't help but touch her face and asked curiously, "Is there something on my face?" ”

"Wife, you are so beautiful, it is my greatest blessing to be able to marry you." Poplar said with a happy face.

Liu Yan blushed, lowered her head and whispered, "What are you talking nonsense about?" ”

Because Poplar had a conflict with his mother at noon, this turned the evening party of nine into a party of six.

Although Liu Yan's relief made him feel a lot better, he had a conflict with his mother, which made him not very emotional throughout the afternoon.

It wasn't until night fell, after Wu Yi and Lu Feng arrived, that he cheered up and greeted the guests.

Lulu was still as shy as usual, cowering in Wu Yi's arms like a little sparrow, which made Poplar envious.

Luo Xiaoai, a delicate girl, is a natural acquaintance, and when she enters the door, she is like entering her own home, and there is no sense of restraint at all, which makes Poplar think that she is a guest at someone else's house.

"Yo, the environment here is pretty good, brother-in-law, such a big house, and it's close to the West Lake, it costs more than 10 million, right?" Luo Xiaoai changed into slippers, looked around, and asked with a smile.

Bai Yang didn't expect this guy's eyes to be quite poisonous, anyway, it's not a secret, so he nodded and smiled and said, "Well, it's almost more than 12 million." ”

After Luo Xiaoai changed into slippers, she didn't wait for Poplar to greet her, and ran into the living room by herself.

At this time, on the edge of the living room, Wu Yi and his girlfriend Lulu were in the kitchen to help Liu Yan clear vegetables and serve dishes.

"Master." Seeing his girlfriend abandon himself and run away, Lu Feng shouted with embarrassment.

At this time, Luo Xiaoai, who had already come to the living room, seemed to have discovered a new continent, turned her head and shouted to Lu Feng: "Lu Feng, come quickly, the scenery here is so good, you can even have a bird's eye view of the West Lake!" ”

Lu Feng put on the slippers that Poplar handed him and walked towards the living room with an embarrassed expression.

After walking to Luo Xiaoai's side, he said softly: "Xiaoai, let's go say hello to my sister first." ”

"Oh." Luo Xiaoai nodded.

Then Lu Feng took Luo Xiaoai and walked towards the kitchen, and the three people who were busy in the kitchen had naturally noticed this unusually lively little girl.

When Lu Feng took Luo Xiaoai into the kitchen, Liu Yanzheng washed her hands and planned to go up to greet her brother and his brother's girlfriend.

I don't want Luo Xiaoai to say in surprise after seeing a plate of purple grapes in Lulu's hand: "Ah, and Portugal, this is my favorite fruit!" ”

Then, in front of everyone, he directly picked a purple grape from the plate and threw it into his mouth and tasted it beautifully.

Lulu, who was holding the grapes, suddenly became anxious, and hurriedly blushed and said, "I'll eat this later, why do you start eating it now?" ”

Luo Xiaoai seemed to have just discovered Lulu at this time, and couldn't help but ask curiously: "Hey, who are you, is it my brother-in-law's new girlfriend?" ”

Bai Yang, who was walking back to the living room, heard Luo Xiaoai's words, and his whole person was petrified.

And Lu Feng, who was following behind Luo Xiaoai, said with an embarrassed face: "Xiaoai, don't talk nonsense, this is my sister-in-law's girlfriend." ”

"Sister-in-law, Lu Feng, isn't it, your sister-in-law is Lesbian?" Luo Xiaoai asked subconsciously.

Bai Yang's English is not good, so he didn't understand what Luo Xiaoai was saying at all, let alone Wu Yi.

On the contrary, Lu Feng said with a wry smile: "Xiao Ai, isn't my sister-in-law your sister." ”

Luo Xiaoai couldn't help but be stunned, and after reacting, he immediately kicked Lu Feng, making him scream in pain.

"You're kidding!" Luo Xiaoai snorted coldly and said.

Baiyang was speechless, this Luo Xiaoai is too fierce, it seems that Lu Feng will suffer in the future.

I didn't want Lu Feng to care at all, but said with a hippie smile: "Xiao Ai, I didn't joke around, it's just that this sister-in-law is someone else." ”

Wu Yi, who was washing the dishes, was not good, if it weren't for the fact that the plate in his hand looked too expensive, I am afraid he would have smashed it at this moment.
