Chapter 404: Confide
"Shiya, madness, there's a power outage in our villa area...... So ......" Ye Lin looked at Zhang Madness and Lin Shiya very worriedly, for fear that the decision she made without authorization would make the two of them angry, so she didn't dare to say anything halfway through her words.
However, Lin Shiya reacted after listening to Ye Lin's words, and said with a smile: "I see, it doesn't matter, there are many people with more pairs of chopsticks, and everyone doesn't know Meng Yao, it's just commonplace, if it doesn't suit the taste......"
Seeing that Lin Shiya was so polite, Li Mengyao was flattered and hurriedly replied: "No, I'm not a picky eater, I'm sorry to bother you." ”
"What do you mean to bother, we are friends, it's too late for me to welcome you for a meal, come on, sit down, it's time to eat." Lin Shiya said enthusiastically that when she had surgery, Li Mengyao had come to visit and take care of her, she would not forget this kindness, as for Li Mengyao's grudge entanglement with arrogance, she didn't care.
Listening to Lin Shiya's words, everyone said "oh", and sat down at the dinner table one after another, with different expressions, Ruyue and Liu Chen were still worried about Li Mengyao's drive away the arrogance, although they didn't care so much now, but when they saw Li Mengyao, they were still a little unhappy.
Liu Yiyi is always a "neutral", silent, and enthusiastically serves everyone a meal, while Lu Zhaoxue hurriedly got off Zhang Mad and said hello to Li Mengyao, and sat next to her and pretended to be a lady, and Zhang Yi was still a little confused, why did Li Mengyao come, why did Ye Lin bring Li Mengyao over!?
This may be the most bizarre meal in the atmosphere, during which only Lin Shiya, Ye Lin and Lu Zhaoxue can talk to Li Mengyao normally, and the others either don't speak, or just say some kind words, arrogant but want to pretend to be calm, just like Li Mengyao in the game, chat with Li Mengyao for a few words, but they just can't do it, so silence is golden.
In this way, the meal ended in a strange way, among them, Ruyue and Liu Chen went back to their rooms immediately after eating, and they didn't give Li Mengyao face, while Liu Yiyi went to wash the dishes, and the hall was left with the three daughters of Zhang Mad, Lin Shiya and Ye Lin.
"Ruyue them...... Well, don't blame them. Zhang Mad thought about it, and still said something to Li Mengyao.
After Li Mengyao listened to the arrogant words, she shook her head gloomily and said, "It's okay, I don't care." To be honest, this reaction is not at all like the style of the iceberg assassin, where is Li Mengyao, who refutes every word and always confronts him?
At this time, Lin Shiya got a little fruit and put it on the table in front of the sofa, and then said to Li Mengyao with a smile: "Mengyao, eat some fruit, don't be too cramped, just be your own home." ”
"Hmm." Li Mengyao subconsciously glanced at Zhang Madness, and then nodded, Zhang Crazy felt a pain when he saw this, how could Lin Shiya talk like this, it would make people think that it was his idea.
Under the entanglement, Zhang Qiang suddenly said to Ye Lin: "Lin'er, let's go to the garden for a walk, I want to ask you about some games, Sister Shiya, you talk first." ”
Ye Lin trembled, thinking that Zhang Mad was really in trouble, so she had to follow Zhang Mad out of the villa building with a bitter face and her head down, and came to the garden, after some distance from the villa building, Zhang Mad turned around and asked helplessly: "Lin'er, why did you bring her, it's not that you don't know that Ruyue and Xingchen don't like her very much." ”
Zhang Mad didn't believe the reason for the "power outage" that Ye Lin said before, with the modern level of science and technology, non-human power outages would basically not occur, but he couldn't figure out the reason why Ye Lin was lying, Ye Lin didn't need to deliberately bring Li Mengyao over.
"I'm sorry, crazy, I didn't lie to you, there was really a power outage in the villa area, it is said that someone protested against the federal government's extravagance and waste of electricity, so they blew up the nearby electrical box, I was worried that Meng Yao would be in danger of staying alone in the villa, so I brought her over." Ye Lin said as she observed her arrogant expression.
"This ...... Well, I'm wrong about you. After hearing this, Zhang Yan couldn't help but be a little surprised, the power outage was actually man-made, so there was no way, I misunderstood Ye Lin, and naturally I had to apologize.
Seeing this, Ye Lin breathed a sigh of relief, then grabbed her arrogant arm and said softly: "I know you have an opinion about Meng Yao, I was also very angry at that time, but when I think of what happened to her, I can't bear to blame her." ”
"You mean her brother's business?" Zhang Qian was a little disapproving, he had heard about Li Mengyao's brother, but Li Mengyao blamed Yun Ziyan for his brother's death, which was too stupid and vexatious.
"No, there is also Mengyao's experience when she was a child, I can't tell you these things, if she wants, she will confide in you, I said that she still cares about you very much, I think she will definitely tell you these things." Ye Lin shook her head and said.
After hearing this, Zhang Qiang was surprised again, could it be that Li Mengyao had a special experience when she was a child? It's a pity that Ye Lin didn't tell him, which made him a little curious.
When the two returned to the hall, they found that only Lin Shiya and Li Mengyao were left, and they couldn't help asking, "What about Zhaoxue?" ”
"I'm here!" Lu Zhaoxue's voice came from the kitchen, and when she looked up, she saw Lu Zhaoxue's little face full of excited smiles, and couldn't help but ask strangely, "What are you doing in the kitchen?" ”
"I helped Sister Yiyi wash the dishes, and she praised me for washing well!" Lu Zhaoxue said happily, Zhang Yan smiled after hearing this, Lu Zhaoxue is still a child by nature, always curious about strange things, there is no doubt that "washing dishes" is a strange thing for Lu Zhaoxue.
Lin Shiya also smiled and said to Zhang Madness: "I'll go look at that girl, crazy, talk to Meng Yao." When she spoke, Lin Shiya glared at Zhang Yan slightly, expressing her dissatisfaction with Zhang Qi, Zhang Qi is the owner of this villa, how can he hide when there are guests?
Zhang Mad knew what Lin Shiya meant, sighed in his heart, and said to Li Mengyao: "Lin'er and I will take you around, right?" You should be the first time coming to my villa. ”
When Ye Lin next to him heard this, he glanced at Zhang Mad, and then said, "Crazy, you take Meng Yao around, I still have a call to call." ”
At a glance, Zhang Qi knew that Ye Lin was creating an opportunity for him and Li Mengyao to be alone, but he and Li Mengyao were not that kind of relationship, why should they be alone? Just remembered what Ye Lin said just now, and Zhang Qi did not object.
So, Zhang Mad took Li Mengyao to visit his villa, and he was a little ashamed, some places Zhang Mad hadn't been to yet, for example, a corner of the landscape courtyard behind the villa, there was a small pool in that place, which contained some fish raised by Lin Shiya and others, Zhang Mad only heard Lin Shiya's daughters talk about raising fish, but he didn't know that it was in this small pool in the backyard of his house.
Along the way, Zhang Mad tried very hard to find some topics, but Li Mengyao's response seemed a little absent-minded, Zhang Mad felt a little bored, and stopped talking, and finally the two went to the balcony on the third floor, where there were tables and chairs where Zhang Mad and the women usually drank and chatted together, and the two sat there, silently facing each other.
A few minutes passed, Li Mengyao still looked sluggish and didn't say a word, and Zhang felt a little bored, when a cold wind blew, making Li Mengyao shiver a little, maybe because she had been staying indoors and playing games, Li Mengyao forgot that it was winter at this time, and she didn't wear a few more clothes when she went out.
Seeing this, Zhang Yan said, "It's cold here, let's go back to the first floor." He didn't want to waste time with Li Mengyao here, the two didn't have a common topic at all.
But Li Mengyao shook her head and said softly, "Can you stay here with me for a while?" At this moment, Li Mengyao's face showed a weak look that he had never seen before.
After hesitating slightly, Zhang Qiang agreed to come down, then took off the coat on his body, handed it to Li Mengyao and said, "Then put it on, you are wearing too little." ”
Hearing this, Li Mengyao glanced at Zhang Qiang with a complicated expression, then took the coat and put it on, and then said, "Thank you." ”
Zhang Mad smiled and said, "No thanks, if I don't do this and make you catch a cold, your sister Lin will scold me." ”
When Li Mengyao heard this, her eyes darkened again, and she said faintly: "You do so many things, it's all for Sister Lin and Zhaoxue, right?" ”
Zhang was stunned for a moment, he didn't quite understand what Li Mengyao meant, Li Mengyao meant that he handed over clothes to convey warmth?
Seeing Zhang Mad with a puzzled face, Li Mengyao did not respond, and after being silent for a while, she lightly opened her lips and said, "Do you want to hear the story of me and my brother?" ”
Zhang Mad listened to Li Mengyao's question, and couldn't help blinking, Ye Lin really guessed correctly, out of curiosity, Zhang Mad was not hypocritical, and nodded decisively, in fact, Li Mengyao asked so, if he refused, it was too impersonal, Li Mengyao obviously wanted to confide in him what he buried in his heart and refused to tell others.
Seeing this, Li Mengyao closed her eyes and said in a very indifferent tone: "My parents divorced very early, the reason is that my father had another woman outside, and my father was the pillar of the family at that time, and after I left with that woman, the family collapsed, and when my mother died of illness, I was only 6 years old." ”
After listening to the beginning of this story, Zhang Yan immediately understood why Li Mengyao proposed to cut off his relationship with other women when he confessed to him, this poor girl must have hated a negative man.
"After my mother passed away, my brother took on the responsibility of raising me, he was eight years older than me, and to me, he was both an older brother and a father." Speaking of this, Li Mengyao's tone softened significantly.
But then it became sad again: "In order to raise me and provide me with education, my brother gave up his studies, but because he did not graduate from junior high school, he could only do some rough work, he picked up garbage, washed toilets, polished shoes, set up street stalls, and was also caught at the police station for stealing...... Life was hard, but I was glad I had a big brother after losing my parents, until one day he came back with something like a motorcycle helmet and excitedly told me that he had found a way to make money. ”
"Since then, my brother has always been immersed in the game, no longer taking time to accompany me to the park to play, no longer buying cotton candy for me to eat, and no longer excitedly saying to me, 'Sister, today I made an extra 5 yuan', although my brother did make a lot of money, changed the hard life in the past, but I was not happy, so on my 10th birthday, I asked my brother to buy me a virtual helmet, after that, I was happy again, because I can play with my brother again."
"But one day on the way out of school, I met my brother who was depressed, and when he saw me, he smiled and said to me that he had been beaten by a girl, was in a bad mood, and wanted to go out for a drink, and the meal was ready, and let me go back and eat it myself, and later he would come home and ...... And he died. ”
Speaking of this, the tears in the corners of Li Mengyao's eyes finally slipped down......
