Chen Xu felt that Liu Jingsheng could read his heart. He can often see at a glance that he is unhappy and point out the crux of the problem in one sentence.

Chen Xu is indeed uneasy, she would rather Chen Zhigang and Zhou Fenglan never appear in front of her, as if they had never had any relationship. She could have been her own parents who died young. Whenever he appeared in front of him, Chen Xu found that he was not so generous and could not forgive. She felt that she was conflicted, she loved life and loved life, but she was not grateful for the two people who brought her into this world. Thinking that Chen Zhigang actually had to take advantage of a wave of popularity after learning that she was admitted to a key university, and coincidentally held a college entrance banquet in the name of Chen Xu's university entrance examination to receive gifts, Chen Xu felt disgusted.

This demolition, if it weren't for Grandma Liu's righteous words, the result would not necessarily be what it was. On the other hand, although Chen Xu is just an ordinary civil servant, if he didn't have this job, I'm afraid Chen Zhigang would not agree to give her this house. Chen Xu couldn't convince herself, she always felt uncomfortable, and in the face of Daniel Zhang, who had hurt herself, she wasn't even so awkward.

Maybe it's best for him to forget those unbearable pasts, but whenever Chen Zhigang appears, Chen Xu will think of the years when he was abandoned. She thinks Zhou Fenglan is fine, at least she won't bother herself.

The doorman of the unit called Chen Xu and said that her mother was waiting for her at the door. Chen Xu ran out happily, she couldn't wait for the elevator, she ran all the way down from the upper floor, the security guard uncle said that her mother was waiting outside, Chen Xu thought that Han Hui came to see her. When she ran to the door, it seemed that a scoop of cold water was poured on her head, it turned out to be Zhou Fenglan. Two days ago, I was still glad that she didn't bother herself, but I didn't expect to be slapped in the face so soon. It seems that if you don't want to see people, don't even think about it, otherwise it's bad.

Chen Xu asked with a cold face, "What are you doing here?" Zhou Fenglan noticed her mood change. Seeing that Chen Xu couldn't wait to run out, and then changed his face again, Zhou Fenglan thought that she was not dressed properly, which made Chen Xu feel embarrassed. She touched her oily clothes and said apologetically, "I came in a hurry and didn't change my clothes." Chen Xu ignored this stubble and asked again: "What is the matter with you here?" Hurry up, I'm at work now, I don't have that much time. ”

Zhou Fenglan said cowardly: "It's her father's business." "When Chen Xu graduated from primary school, he once lived in Zhou Fenglan's house for a holiday, and knew that Zhou Fenglan's youngest daughter was named Huanhuan. Chen Xu didn't speak, waiting for Zhou Fenglan's next words, Zhou Fenglan looked at the door of the procuratorate and said, "Can we go elsewhere and say it?" ”

Chen Xu called Li Chang to ask for leave, saying that he had something to go out for. Chen Xu led Zhou Fenglan to the milk bar often, because it was not good to occupy a seat in vain, Chen Xu ordered two cups of yogurt. Zhou Fenglan said a little crampedly: "I don't know if you have heard of it, but we opened that restaurant, and the liquefied gas exploded, killing people." I didn't agree to open this restaurant at the beginning, so it was easy to have a little spare money, so he had to toss to open a restaurant, saying that it was more profitable than a barbecue stall, and before the decoration money was earned, the liquefied gas exploded, killing six people and injuring more than a dozen. Now Huanhuan's father has been arrested, and the hotel has also been seized. I also know that the dead are pitiful, and no one wants this to happen. Huanhuan and I are also very pitiful, and now Huanhuan's living expenses for college are borrowed. You work in the procuratorate, can you help me inquire about this case and now transfer it to the procuratorate? Let's see if you can help the Totos? ”

Chen Xu really heard Liu Yun talk about the liquefied gas explosion in a hotel in Beicheng two days ago, and he felt sorry for the dead and injured at that time, but he didn't expect it to be a newly opened hotel by Zhou Fenglan's family. Chen Xu looked at Zhou Fenglan's beautiful but somewhat haggard face, and didn't speak for a long time. At this moment, Chen Xu felt that she was simply vicious, she was neither sympathetic nor distressed by her mother, as if she was a stranger. She felt that she was even more aloof than a stranger.

Chen Xu dug the old yogurt in the cup with a small spoon and said, "I'm sorry, I can't help you." First of all, the case is not in my hands, I am just an ordinary staff member here. I can't violate work discipline to inquire about the progress of the case. Also, I don't think we have that deep feelings. Go back, don't come back to me again. In the past twenty-two years, you have not cared about my life or death, and now it is useless for you to run to me to sell pitiful. ”

Zhou Fenglan burst into tears, she wiped her tears with her hands and said, "I know I'm sorry for you, I was also forced to be helpless at that time!" I am a woman, and when I got divorced, I didn't even have a serious job, and I was working in a hotel in a precarious situation. Go back to your grandmother's house to live, and your aunt will talk weird and weird every day. It's hard for me to be there alone, how can I take you? I think your grandma likes you a lot, isn't it better for you and grandma to have a house to live and eat with you than to have a meal with me? Later, I married Huanhuan's father, and I also discussed with him and said to bring you here, but he didn't agree. Later, I heard from others that my stepfather bullied the daughter he brought over, so I thought if I didn't bring it, I didn't bring it, you have your father and your grandmother in charge, and you can't suffer. ”

Chen Xu suddenly laughed, laughed and lowered her voice and said, "Really? Then I want to thank you for thinking so much about me! Now that you know that your stepfather is going to beat your stepdaughter, and I said that the man peeked at me taking a shower during the few days I lived with you, why didn't you believe me and scold me? And how do you know that no one bullied me when I was at my grandma's? ”

Zhou Fenglan looked up at Chen Xu in some surprise, her eyes were a little complicated, and then she lowered her head and said, "Xiao Xu, Mom knows I'm sorry for you, it's too late to say anything now." For the sake of my mother's birth to you, you can help me. I have two houses in the family in the intermediary, you help the activities, as long as his father is not sentenced, let's take out the money and compensate the injured and the families of the deceased. The two of us worked part-time to earn money to pay off our debts. Huanhuan is now a sophomore in college, and in two years, she will graduate, and the three of us will work together to earn money to compensate the family of the deceased. You don't pity us, but you also pity and rejoice! Anyway, she's your sister too. If you don't finish college, it's hard to find a job. Now I rely on me to work alone to earn that little money is not enough for her to go to college, the tuition fee is tens of thousands a year, plus living expenses, I really can't afford her alone. ”

Chen Xu smiled sarcastically, "Oh? Can't finish college and can't find a job? Then you are such a good mother, so considerate of your daughter! But have you ever thought that you are wrong: your eldest daughter is old enough to even go to elementary school? All children her age are in the fourth grade, and she is only in the first grade. It was thanks to the efforts of a virtuous teacher that she was brought into the school. Have you ever taken care of her? Do you know what kind of life she lived? She went to college, did you give her a penny? Do you think she will sympathize with your little daughter now? How old is your little daughter now? 20 or 21 years old? I'm an adult! And your other daughter spent the whole day picking up things in the garbage dump when she was five years old to have something to eat, and at the age of fifteen or sixteen she went to work as a nurse in the hospital. Your baby daughter has a tuition fee of tens of thousands of yuan a year, and she is studying in a private school, right? Since it costs so much, then don't study well, and drop out of school early to earn money to atone for his parents! ”

Zhou Fenglan stopped crying and looked at Chen Xu in a daze, she didn't want to have children after the divorce, she was just powerless at first, and then she was separated for a long time, forcing herself to forget, after remarrying, she had a little daughter, and she no longer thought about Chen Xu from time to time, and slowly forgot about it. As for what kind of life Chen Xu lived, she didn't dare to think about it later. But today's words still shocked her, Zhou Fenglan privately thought that Chen Xu's grandmother would love Chen Xu very much and raise Chen Xu very well, otherwise how could this child be admitted to a good university and get a job! I didn't expect it to be the child's own efforts all along.

When Chen Xu went to live in Zhou Fenglan's house eleven years ago, he stated in advance that he would only live until the beginning of school, and Zhou Fenglan didn't ask the reason, she just thought that the child was rebellious and had a conflict with her family, because Chen Xu never went again.

Chen Xu looked at Zhou Fenglan and said, "Please don't come to me again in the future, seeing you makes me feel very blocked." When you were divorced, you all went to pursue the life you wanted, but no one cared about my life or death. Neither you nor Chen Zhigang have given me a penny of living expenses, and my grandmother is not happy to raise me. For so many years, I have no father or mother, but I am gone. When I took the public administration examination, I found out that the law still recognizes you as my parents, how ironic! This is the last time I will talk to you, so you should do good deeds and accumulate virtue, but if you can't do it, you should accumulate blessings for your little daughter. Please disappear from my life forever! Don't show up in front of me again. ”

Chen Xu walked out of the door quickly, and with the action of opening the door, the wind chimes by the door were jingling. Zhou Fenglan looked at Chen Xu's back as he walked away, stunned until she couldn't see it at all. Zhou Fenglan suddenly covered her face and cried bitterly, and the salesman in the milk bar hurriedly came over to catch her, "Hey, what's wrong with you?" You're going to cry out and cry, you're here as if you're howling, and you're going to affect our business. Zhou Fenglan didn't seem to hear it, and the more she cried, the louder she became. The two salesmen had no choice but to open the door, point outside, and say, "Get out of here." Zhou Fenglan cried uncontrollably, and the two salesmen had to come over and drag her out and throw her out of the door. Zhou Fenglan fell to the ground, and suddenly remembered the scene many years ago, when she was working in a hotel, Chen Xu was thrown to her by her ex-mother-in-law, and she pushed Chen Xu down. Zhou Fenglan cried even more, and the passers-by watched the play from a distance, not daring to step forward, and refusing to disperse.
