When Zhu Shan received Ling Xiao's call, it took a few seconds for the brain to react, and then rushed out of the door directly, and she didn't even hear what Ling Yue yelled behind her.

That day, Zhu Shan felt that the elevator was exceptionally slow, and she stomped her feet in the elevator comically.

As soon as she got out of the elevator, she ran away, and even her plush slippers were kicked off, and she kicked her feet to put them on.

Because of the New Year's Day, a lot of red lanterns are hung in the community, and the long red ears are swaying left and right by the wind.

The small fountains on the left and right were working loudly, but Zhu Shan couldn't hear the sound of water.

The moment Ling Xiao appeared, everything around her was quiet.

His cheeks were lit red, his head tilted slightly, his eyebrows slightly raised, and the smile on his lips was extraordinarily wanton.

He didn't seem to have experienced anything, he just came home a little late today.

Seeing that Zhu Shan was stunned, Ling Xiao opened his arms to her, and the smile on the corner of his mouth became even more open.

Zhu Shan didn't run over, but opened her arms slightly and slowly walked into his arms.

The corners of her mouth were pursed into a line, pulled down slightly, and her eyes were squinted with tears, like a poor person who was aggrieved and desperately in need of comfort.

Zhu Shan stood on tiptoe and hooked Ling Xiao's neck.

Her cheeks rubbed against the cold fabric of his clothes, her fingers tightening tightly.

Ling Xiao leaned over slightly, leaned closer to her ear and kissed her, "Why are you unhappy?"

Zhu Shan whimpered and shook her head: "Ling Xiao, I'm sorry."

This sudden confession confused Ling Xiao and kissed her hair: "What's wrong?"

"I was ... No, you shouldn't be annoyed."

Ling Xiao frowned, "What?"

"That morning, you told me to remember to eat on time, and I actually said that you were so annoying, I shouldn't have said that."

As she spoke, Zhu Shan's heart swelled up again, and she whimpered and cried on his shoulder.

Ling Xiao thought about it a lot, but he didn't expect this.

In fact, he thought about it, wasn't she coquettish at that time?

What kind of apology are you saying now?

Ling Xiao didn't understand her brain circuit, but she could feel her sadness, maybe she was sad more than that, she just didn't say it.

Thinking about it, Ling Xiao's heart hurt a little, and he rubbed Zhu Shan's hair: "Then don't say that I'm annoying in the future."

The whimper on his shoulder paused, and the little girl's hand around his neck tightened a little more, and her delicate body was tightened, and she said aggrievedly, "That maybe... I can't do it."

Ling Xiao: "......"

He chuckled several times, straightened up and picked the man up, "Go home."

When Zhu Shan opened her eyes, she saw the aunt walking the dog next to her looking at them.

She patted Ling Xiao on the shoulder: "Come down!"

Useless.

She kicked her legs again, her body was stunned, and she immediately exclaimed, "Ling Xiao, my slippers are off!"

Ling Xiao: "......"

After entering the elevator, Ling Xiao saw Zhu Shan holding a green pepper in her hand.

He lifted his chin and raised his eyebrows, "What kind of welcoming ceremony is this?"

"I'm cooking." She spoke, and she was still aggrieved.

Ling Xiao gently pinched her cheek.

With the bright light in the elevator, Zhu Shan saw a white square gauze under Ling Xiao's bangs.

Her eyes immediately became wet again, she reached out to touch it, but she didn't dare to touch it, she pouted and asked, "Ling Xiao, do you hurt?"

Ling Xiao saw that her lower lip was bitten out of red marks, scolded Li Shang in her heart, and raised her hand to tear off the gauze.

Zhu Shan hurriedly took his hand: "What are you doing?!"

Ling Xiao leaned over slightly, raised his hand to grab his hair, and showed the corners of his forehead: "It's okay, it's all right."

Zhu Shan took a closer look, and the wound there was a red line one centimeter long, which did not look serious.

Zhu Shan was still not at ease, after all, there was so much blood, she pushed his hand holding the gauze: "You wrap it first!" It must make sense for the doctor to wrap you in gauze!"

Ling Xiao said straightly, "It was Li Shang who posted it to me."

Indeed, it was Li Shang who posted it just now.

Zhu Shan blinked in confusion: "Huh?"

"He said you might lose your temper and make me feign weakness."

「......」

"But I'd rather you lose your temper." Ling Xiao paused, approached Zhu Shan, and shamelessly coaxed her, "Because I can't bear to make you sad."

Zhu Shan: "......"

When he got home, Ling Xiao found that Ling Yue was here.

Ling Yue was chopping vegetables at the cooking table, and when he saw Ling Xiao appear, he immediately ran over and hugged the person, crying loudly regardless of his image.

Zhu Shan was directly stunned, in the past few days, Ling Yue has not shed a single tear, and she is extremely strong.

Ling Xiao pulled Ling Yue's arm and dragged it down, but he didn't have any strength: "Big man, why are you crying?"

"I've been holding it for days!! What's wrong with crying twice now!! Ling Yue cried in a dry throat, "Paige cries secretly every day!!

Ling Xiao squinted at Zhu Shan, saw her eyes fluttering, and rubbed her hair affectionately.

Zhu Shan bit her lower lip and walked to the cooking table, "I'll continue to cook."

Zhu Shan walked to the cooking table and saw Ling Yue chopping the vegetables into a mess, and laughed happily.

Ling Yue behind him was still howling, which made Ling Xiao's tone unhappy.

Ling Xiao: "Where's Mom and Dad?"

Ling Yue: "In the mountains!"

Ling Xiao: "When are you leaving?"

Ling Yue's crying stopped abruptly, he was silent for two seconds, and roared even louder, "I'll leave now!"

Zhu Shan laughed while chopping vegetables.

In the end, it was Zhu Shan who came out to play the round, grabbed Ling Yue, and didn't let him act in the scene of running away from home late at night.

Ling Xiao booked a ticket for Ling Yue on the afternoon of the second day of New Year's Day, and personally sent him to the airport with Zhu Shan.

Rarely, Ling Xiao patted Ling Yue on the shoulder at the airport: "Learn more from the tutor, don't worry about what you shouldn't worry about all day long."

Ling Yue came this time, she was flustered and short of breath, and her mood had never calmed down, but now she felt the warmth from her eldest brother's lameness, and she just reached out to hug her.

Ling Xiao stretched out his hand and pressed his shoulder, and then said, "Otherwise, I won't be able to be the presiding judge in this life."

Ling Yue turned around abruptly, hugged Zhu Shan next to her, and then left unhappily.

Zhu Shan looked at Ling Yue's back and waved slowly.

She was very grateful to Ling Yue.

Otherwise, she was alone and didn't know how to survive those days.

Suddenly, Ling Yue turned around, bared his big white teeth, raised his hands above his head, and made a big gesture of love.

Zhu Shan was stunned for a moment, and raised her hands above her head, smiling sweetly and comparing her love.

Zhu Shan's arm suddenly tightened, and she was pulled into her arms by Ling Xiao and stumbled.

She grabbed the clothes around his waist and looked at him with a confused expression.

"He's for me." Ling Xiao's chin tilted slightly, "What do you respond to?"

Zhu Shan didn't speak, not knowing where he got his confidence, and gave him a look of "self-experience".

Ling Xiao let out a "tsk", clasped Zhu Shan's waist, and slammed the phone screen in front of her eyes.

Above is the transfer record of the last minute.

Ling Xiao shook his phone: "I gave him a living allowance."

All right!

Still... It's really for him.

The two ate outside before returning home.

As soon as he got home, Ling Xiao picked up the person horizontally and walked to the sofa.

Zhu Shan didn't resist, the roots of her ears were a little red, hooked his neck, and twisted her throat, "Don't be on the sofa."

Ling Xiao paused, lowered his head and kissed Zhu Shan's forehead: "Shanshan, I'll tell you something."

Say... Affair?

Zhu Shan's thoughts returned, and her cheeks flushed for her brain replenishment.

She lowered her head and quibbled, "I mean, don't talk on the couch."

Ling Xiao didn't speak, just kissed her on the forehead again.

Zhu Shan felt strange, according to Ling Xiao's temperament, this was the time to tease herself, instead of showing rare gentleness like this.

Her heart skipped a beat, and her little hand grabbed the collar of Ling Xiao's coat: "It's... Is it my father's business?"

Ling Xiao nodded, then grabbed her little face and pressed her head into his arms.

Ling Xiao's lips pressed against the top of Zhu Shan's head: "Your father was framed by Ren Xianli because he took students to participate in the project practice of the Indo-Japanese Group and found that they had tax problems."

Zhu Shan nodded, in fact, she guessed that it was the Indo-Japanese group that framed his father.

Ling Xiao: "Your father didn't commit suicide, it was Ren Xianli who found out that he couldn't control him and couldn't buy him, so he planned to murder."

Zhu Shan closed her eyes, grabbed Ling Xiao's clothes tightly, and nodded again.

The cause of her father's death, she actually guessed eight or nine points.

Ling Xiao hugged Zhu Shan tightly, and after a while, his Adam's apple rolled, and his voice was a little hoarse: "Your mother found out about this..."

Zhu Shan opened her eyes suddenly, her body trembling uncontrollably.

Ling Xiao hugged her tighter, and tied her shoulders with her arms: "Your mother is going to call the police, it is Ren Xianli, who is looking for someone to hit your mother."

Zhu Shan lost her mind for a moment, her head buzzing.

When the humming sound disappeared, there was a clammy cold sensation from the fingertips.

At that time, her mother was hit by a taxi driver, and the taxi driver defended that he was too panicked and scared at that time, so he did not save people in time, and was finally convicted of intentional homicide.

She never thought about her mother's death, and there was another reason.

Still is... Murder.

Zhu Shan couldn't accept it, she began to push Ling Xiao, struggling in his arms, although she didn't know what to do when she pushed Ling Xiao away.

Ling Xiao put one hand around her back, the other on the back of her head, and whispered, "Shanshan, I will always be by your side."

Zhu Shan's body was stunned, it seemed that all her strength was drained, and her whole body softened.

Then, there was a slight sobbing.

Zhu Shan grabbed Ling Xiao's clothes: "That's human life... It's human life...... How can it be? How could he?"

"My dad... My mother, they didn't do anything wrong, they didn't do anything wrong."

"How could he take someone else's life so easily and so casually?"

"Soaring... That's how I didn't have my parents......

"Everyone else has mom and dad, but I don't... I don't have ......."

"I want to kill him! I'm going to kill him!"

Ling Xiao's heart fell heavily, and he kept rubbing her shoulders: "Shanshan, don't say such things, he can't escape."

Zhu Shan hugged Ling Xiao, crying so much that her hands and feet were numb, and she had no intention of stopping.

She remembered that when she was a child, she could see her parents' happy days every day when she came home.

I think about when my dad was isolated at school after he was framed.

I remembered that after my father died, my mother secretly wiped her tears in the middle of the night and pretended to be strong in front of her.

I think about the days when I was bullied at school after my mother died.

She used to be a little princess who coquettished her parents anytime and anywhere, but later, she lost her parents, and at that age, she lost everything.

And her father, her mother, and herself did nothing wrong with all this pain.

It's just because of some money.

Her relatives who are so precious are like mustard in the eyes of that person.

Zhu Shan couldn't accept it.

Because of this alone, her parents lost their precious lives.

Because of this, at the age of fourteen, she lost everything.

In the end, Zhu Shan cried with little strength, only sobbing intermittently.

Ling Xiao hugged Zhu Shan, gave her a bath, and then hugged her to bed.

Zhu Shan was already so tired that she couldn't make a sound, but she slipped out a little tear from time to time.

Ling Xiao sighed heavily, "Shanshan, the sadness will only end at twelve o'clock tonight, okay?"

Zhu Shan tilted her head slightly and looked at Ling Xiao.

At that moment, she saw herself clearly in Ling Xiao's eyes.

Loneliness, helplessness, and pain are slowly eroded.

After a while, Zhu Shan nodded.

Ling Xiao took her into his arms again.

After midnight that night, Zhu Shan held back her tears, but she couldn't sleep, she asked Ling Xiao how to accuse Ren Xianli about her parents.

Ling Xiao put his arms around her, understatement.

"When I first started my investigation, there was insufficient evidence to convict Ren Xianli. The only breakthrough is the taxi driver who hit your mother with his car, but his son and wife are being led by Ren Xianli, and he will definitely not let go."

"So, I can only deal with the Indo-Japanese Group first, so that Ren Xianli can't contain that driver."

"The day before yesterday, Li Shang and I went to prison, and he was willing to tell the truth and confess to Ren Xian, and Li Shang would deal with it later."

Of course, Zhu Shan will not find these words simple.

The Indo-Japanese Group alone is a powerful existence, not to mention the protection of officials behind the Indo-Japanese Group.

Ling Xiao has come to this point, and he must have paid a lot.

Zhu Shan sniffed.

Ling Xiao thought she was crying again, and kissed her on the forehead lovingly.

In the dark night, Ling Xiao's heart was very painful: "Shanshan, I'm sorry, if I could be faster, you shouldn't have to go through so much."

Zhu Shan trembled slightly, reached out to hug Ling Xiao, and felt his body temperature.

She shook her head.

She understands that if it weren't for Ling Xiao, she wouldn't have been able to take revenge at all, and maybe she wouldn't even be able to find out the truth about her parents' deaths.

Her voice was hoarse: "Ling Xiao, you are my hero."

Ling Xiao was stunned for a moment, and then hugged Zhu Shan tighter.
