Chapter 76: Surface

Li Yannan's body froze by Shang Miao's words, and she uncomfortably pulled off the corner of Taotao's clothes.

Shang Miao looked at her like this, pursed the corners of her lips and asked, "Did he beat you and Taotao?"

In addition to the wound on Li Yannan's face, she saw that Tao Tao also had inconspicuous bruises on her neck, but most of it was blocked by the collar.

Li Yannan didn't want to say anything at first, but looking at Tao Taoba's eyes, she couldn't help but redden, she wiped it with her sleeve and said, "It's not like this often, it's just that he drank that day and bumped into me."

Shang Miao frowned and stared at her tightly, "Did he ask you to give him the money or did you give it yourself?"

Li Yannan closed his eyes with difficulty, and only after a moment did he stiffen his neck and say, "Tao Tao is still so small."

Shang Miao looked at her silently, Li Yannan's originally straight back gradually collapsed, and the hand on the table trembled a little, as if he was enduring great pain.

Tao Tao sensed her emotions and took the lead in crying, and Li Yannan wiped her eyes while coaxing Tao Tao.

Finally Tao Tao stopped crying, and she looked at Shang Miao again, but she turned her face away again with just one look.

Shang Miao had been observing her expression, guessing in his heart that he was already eight or nine, and just as he was about to get straight to the point, Li Yannan's mobile phone rang.

Li Yannan's mobile phone didn't know what kind of miscellaneous brand it was, and the screen was also smashed with a few cracks, as soon as the phone was connected, the man's angry voice roared out: "Where are you dying, Lao Tzu is going to starve to death, are you going to burn money with that money-losing goods again!"

The mobile phone leaked, and his voice was loud, and all of it was heard by Shang Miao word for word.

Li Yannan also seemed to feel embarrassed, and hurriedly covered her mobile phone with her hand, and said in a low voice, "Zhou Guobing, Tao Tao is your daughter!"

However, when the man heard her voice, he was even more furious, "Lao Tzu doesn't have this kind of money-losing daughter! Hurry up and die now! Don't delay me from going to work in the afternoon!"

Li Yannan's face changed, "You're going to gamble again?" Momo has an injection next week!"

Zhou Guobing had already hung up the phone.

Li Yannan's face was pale, she lowered her head and buried her head in Taotao's neck, and her shoulders twitched.

Momo blinked and asked, "Mom, can I skip the injection?"

Li Yannan paused, then let go of Tao Tao, she wiped her face, then rubbed Tao Tao's head, and tried to say gently, "Good girl, can you go to the flower bed over there to play for a while?"

Momo nodded ignorantly, and then walked over there.

Li Yannan's gaze did not leave Tao Tao for a moment, and Shang Miao kept looking at her.

After a while, Li Yannan turned her gaze and finally looked at Shang Miao, but the struggle and pain in her eyes were entangled, but it slowly sank into dead silence, and she smiled bitterly: "Miao, do you think I'm lying to you?"

Shang Miao pursed her lips and did not speak.

"But he wasn't like this before, he used to be very good to me and Taotao, but after Taotao got sick......

Li Yannan couldn't say anything about this, she wiped her face again, "He is unemployed and unemployed, he was sent to gamble, if I don't give him the money, he will be beaten to death......

"So you connived at him to take Momo's medical bills?" Shang Miao was calm, and his eyes were not emotional.

Li Yannan didn't say it anymore.

She was silent for a while, rubbed her hands anxiously and impatiently, and then looked up at Shang Miao cautiously: "Miao, I know I shouldn't be like this, but can you transfer me another five thousand dollars, Taotao will have an injection next week."

After she finished speaking, she raised her hand, "I promise, I borrowed these five thousand yuan from you, and I will definitely pay it back later."

As if she was afraid that Shang Miao would not believe it, she even said, "I can write you an IOU."

Shang Miao sat there motionless, and she suddenly felt that she didn't know Li Yannan in front of her.

The mother she remembers is gentle, beautiful, and strong.

But the woman in front of her had a haggard face, and she had a broken and broken decadence all over her body, as well as calculations.

She looked at Shang Miao as if she was staring at a life-saving straw, and said in a trembling voice

said, "Momo is also your sister, isn't she?"

The nerves in Shang Miao's brain seemed to be cut off by someone, and she felt a little suffocated.

"Ah Yu, it's really bothering you to come here on purpose." Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps behind him, followed by the gentle voice of a man.

Shang Miao was stunned,

Just as he was about to turn back, he heard Sheng Yu's cold and quiet voice: "Just by the way."

Shang Miao turned around, and sure enough, he saw Sheng Yu and a man walking side by side towards this side.

Sheng Yu obviously saw her as well, he stopped his steps, his eyebrows tightened, and then landed on Li Yannan behind her.

Shang Miao suddenly had a feeling that there was nothing to hide, her palm slowly closed, and she heard Li Yannan behind her continue to ask, "Miao, your salary is so high, you always have five thousand yuan, right?" You can't look at Momo without medicine, can you?"

The words in Shang Miao's mouth were in her throat, and she heard Sheng Yu sneer.

Shang Miao's hand was strained, her nails embedded in her palm, and she heard herself say, "I can give it."

Li Yannan breathed a sigh of relief instantly, and was about to speak, when he heard Shang Miao say again, "But if you give money to that man again in the future, I will call the police."

Originally, it was to talk to Li Yannan, so she deliberately went to a secluded place in the garden, but now this small space makes her voice seem extraordinarily clear.

Shang Miao could feel Sheng Yu's gaze still fall on her, she took a deep breath, took her bag and got up.

Li Yannan stood up with her and asked, "When are you going to call the money?"

Shang Miao only felt top-heavy and her chest was very tight, she took a step back, and she was able to stabilize her figure, before she took out her mobile phone and directly transferred five thousand yuan to Li Yannan.

"Ah Yu?" The man's voice just now sounded behind him again, and he asked Sheng Yu in a low voice, "Why don't you have a meal together at noon?"

Sheng Yu hummed and raised her legs and walked forward, Tao Tao was just playing on the edge of the flower bed, she was a little scared when she looked at Sheng Yu's appearance, so she subconsciously stepped back, but she didn't notice that the flower bed behind her was about the same height as her, and the back of her head hit it directly!

The crisp sound startled everyone present, and Li Yannan was the first to react, directly pushing Shang Miao away and rushing over.

And Shang Miao was pushed by her and stumbled to the side for several steps before he could barely stand firm.

Tao Tao's cry sounded, and Li Yannan immediately took her into her arms and coaxed her softly.

Shang Miao looked at them a little distracted.

It turned out that Li Yannan was not gentle, but her gentleness was given to Taotao.

Shang Miao seemed to hold her breath in her heart, so that she couldn't breathe, she looked at it silently for a while, and then turned to leave.

However, before he could lift his legs, he heard a playful voice behind him: "Ah Yu, are you a monster today, why are you scary everywhere?"
