Before dawn, I got up, I made a cup of hot tea and sat on the balcony, watching the morning sun slowly rise, a pair of big hands fell on my shoulders, and gently squeezed me: "Are you ready?" ”

I took a deep breath, took a sip of the hot tea, put down the teacup and stood up: "Okay, let's go..."

When I arrived in Kyoto, I didn't contact Liang Shuqiu directly, but called Huo Ling and told him that I wanted to visit Liang Shuqiu in the house, and I asked him to arrange it. Ω Δ看书 間.ΩkanΩshu.

Huo Ling took a few puffs of cigarette on the phone and asked me meaningfully, "Are you here to talk to her about a big deal?" ”

I glanced at Li Ziluo beside me, he held my hand, and I said to Huo Ling: "Not really." ”

Huo Ling was silent for a while and said, "Since it's not, then you're not afraid that I will sell you?" How dare you contact me? ”

I gritted my teeth: "To be honest, I hate you a lot, I have seen you unhappy since I first knew that you are a person, and even hated you once, because of your words, I used to think that my brother's arm was gone, if it weren't for that, I wouldn't have made a big deal later, I still hate you now, but my intuition won't lie to me."

You won't sell me, because you're afraid that you won't have the face to face Wen Qing in the future! ”

Huo Ling seemed to sigh: "It's true that I won't sell you, but it's not because of Wen Qing." ”

I asked, "That's?" ”

He didn't say more, but told me, "Wait for me at seven o'clock in the evening, at the mouth of the alley." ”

I didn't ask any further questions, and replied, "Okay." ”

I didn't have much appetite for the whole day, and it wasn't until seven o'clock in the evening that a car slowly drove here, and then stopped, Huo Ling casually opened the back seat and got out of the car, I also opened the car door, and he looked at me indifferently: "I have been with her, she is waiting for you at home." ”

I nodded, and his gaze suddenly glanced at Li Ziluo behind me, and then he was slightly shocked: "Mr. Li? You..."

"Long time no see." Li Ziluo greeted him very calmly.

His eyes went back to me with some confusion, and then he asked me, "Do you need me to go in with you?" ”

I shook my head: "No need, I'm grateful for you to come." ”

Then he glanced at his phone and looked up at him: "Eight o'clock!" I'll end this conversation around eight o'clock. ”

Huo Ling thought thoughtfully: "I know." ”

Then I walked up to Li Ziluo and grabbed him, he held my backhand and asked with some concern: "Can you do it alone?" ”

I forced a wry smile: "When I first arrived in Rongcheng when I was very young, I was afraid that my classmates in the school would squeeze me out, and even pretend to be sick and not go to school. ”

His eyes flashed with emotion, and I bit my lower lip bitterly: "I'm not that timid girl anymore, there are some things I have to face!" Besides, with you here, I'm not afraid! ”

He squeezed my hand tightly in distress: "Go ahead." ”

I nodded solemnly, he let go of me, and watched me walk towards the deep alley from a distance, like watching a single-handed warrior rush to the battlefield, with relief, sadness, and helplessness...

It's not a long alley, but I seem... After walking for a long, long time, my mind went back to a very long time, from the time I have a memory, until I left the mountain, too many memories are like a flood, especially after the death of my adoptive father, such a flood often hits my heart and makes me feel powerless.

I thought that after being with Li Ziluo, his care for me gradually made me forget the pain of the past, but I didn't expect that such pain would one day be cruel to destroy me in this form!

Before I knew it, I walked to the door, hesitated for a while, rubbed my cold hands, took a deep breath to stabilize my emotions and rang the doorbell.

I heard the barking of the big dog again, and after a while someone came to open the door for me, this woman I saw last time, it was Aunt Zhang of the Huo family's helper, she opened the door and saw me and said to me: "Mrs. is waiting for you inside." ”

I nodded and followed her into the house.

Liang Shuqiu seemed to hear movement and came down from the upper floor, she was wearing a crimson bat-style loose sweater and light-colored straight-leg pants underneath, such a middle-aged woman who looked casually dressed was really difficult to associate with her background.

When she saw me enter the house, she walked up to me enthusiastically and shook my hand: "Didn't you tell me in advance yesterday that you were coming?" Have you had dinner? ”

I smiled: "I've eaten, it's not a big deal, I just came to Kyoto, and I came to see you and talk to you by the way." ”

She pulled me to the living room, let Aunt Zhang make tea, and then asked me what I have been busy with lately, what can I be busy with, there are a lot of things in the company, and then we talked for a while, so she asked me: "How is that matter considered?" I asked you recently, and you haven't given me an answer. ”

I didn't squeak, I looked at Aunt Zhang who was busy next to me, Liang Shuqiu immediately stood up and walked to Aunt Zhang, and seemed to whisper a few words to her, and then Aunt Zhang smiled with me and went out.

Then Liang Shuqiu sat back on the sofa opposite me, and I looked upstairs and asked her, "Uncle Huo Ling is not at home?" ”

Liang Shuqiu: "Yes." ”

I picked up the teacup in front of me and blew on the layer of tea leaves floating on it: "That's really a coincidence, I haven't met it twice." ”

Liang Shuqiu's eyes flashed across my face, and she also picked up the teacup and said, "He's always so busy." ”

I didn't drink it, so I put the teacup down again: "Tea is good tea, but the taste of different water is different, right?" ”

Liang Shuqiu looked at me deeply, and then smiled lightly: "You haven't drunk it yet." ”

I also smiled and lowered my head to stare at the cup of tea: "If I drink it and find that the water quality has ruined the taste, wouldn't it be too late to have a bitter mouthful?" ”

Liang Shuqiu's smile gradually receded, and she stared at the tea cup in front of her quietly, neither of us spoke again, and the room suddenly became quiet, so quiet that it could be heard as if a needle had fallen on the ground.

I waited for a while, but she was still not the first to speak.

I looked at the clock on the wall, more than twenty minutes had passed, and then I put one hand on the sofa cushion and stared at her intently: "Do you know what is the characteristic of a child who has never had a mother?" ”

She was still staring at the teacup and not at me.

I said to myself, "It's that I'm very sensitive to anyone, especially strangers." ”

I saw her fingers twitch slightly, and then she took the table down and put it on her lap.

I slowly folded my legs together and looked at her firmly: "You have gone from an inconspicuous researcher to that position in just ten years, and after you graduated from school, your life is like being carefully planned, and you have never wasted any opportunity that can change your career."

On this road, I believe that as you do, it is not easy, there are many difficulties, and there are even many so-called hidden rules in you, in such an environment, I believe that even many men may not be able to go far, but you have risen step by step, and it took a few years to get yourself back to Kyoto.

In this way, you will easily allow yourself to make mistakes and mix with Li Zhen? ”

Her ruddy face turned a little pale, and her hands were clasped together.

I looked up at her lightly: "I don't know why you have a past with Li Zhen, but at that time, with my grandfather's status in Rongcheng, you must be able to get what you want from Li Zhen, right?"

It's just that having me was an accident, and you would give birth to me, although I don't know what reason you had to force me at the time, but I will never be reluctant to give up because of you! ”

She suddenly raised her head and said eagerly: "No, Xia Xia!" I was..."

I pursed my lips and interrupted her directly: "Last time I came here, you left me to stay and didn't worry that I would leave alone so late?" So how can you rest assured that a child who can't talk and walk will leave with a stranger? ”

Her newly opened mouth gradually closed.

I felt a suppressed pain in my heart.

But I smiled instead, and pulled the corners of my mouth lightly: "Someone has a mother-daughter connection, I think it makes sense now, and sure enough, what you think in your heart, I can feel it." The first time I saw you, your performance was a bit too much. ”

Her eyebrows were intertwined, and she looked at me with a particularly strange look, and the kindness and gentleness of her previous time were gone, replaced by a sharpness and alertness, I think, this is her original appearance.

I sneered, "Unfortunately, I studied acting in college, and one of the courses was dedicated to studying the reactions of the character's psychology to the behavior and action.

The first time the two of us met, after 30 years, there is no emotion at all, normal people will inevitably feel a little embarrassed, or overwhelmed, but you are so excited, even tears in your eyes.

You greeted me with warmth, and watched me with your heart, so that I almost thought that it was your guilt for me. ”

She finally couldn't help but speak, "I wonder if you have some misunderstanding about me?" I'm not as bad as you think! After all, I am your real mother, and I gave birth to you in October! ”

I looked at her serious expression, and suddenly felt a trace of sadness, and now, I have torn my face with her, and she still chooses to continue to deceive me.

Am I so worthless in her mind? She gave birth to me ten months pregnant, just so that she could put me at gunpoint and sacrifice me at any time in the future?

I frowned a little uncomfortably, unconsciously touched the ring on my left ring finger, and was silent for a few seconds.

Then I looked at her again and was already a little disgusted, and my tone was not very good: "Pregnant for ten months, if you have a choice, I'm afraid the most regrettable thing is to give birth to me, right?" You ask yourself why you are hiding from Li Zhen and not letting him know about my existence?

If you decided not to want me in the first place, my best way is to return to the Li family, no matter how strong Li Zhen's wife is, but they don't have children, if I can enter the Li family from the beginning, Li Zhen will definitely not treat me badly.

But you are willing to hide it from him, do you dare to be the real reason? ”
