Xin Chen had long known about the existence of Lu Fei.

Lu Fei is the senior of Xin Di and Xin Chen, and he has always been a man of the year from elementary school to high school. His father is not the reason why he is conspicuous, after all, the school they go to is a local focus, except for those who get in with excellent grades, most of the other children have relationships or family backgrounds, and Lu Fei's family is very low-key, and not many people know his father. Needless to say, he started learning the violin at an early age and was also the provincial junior chess champion. He is handsome and tall, and he has never been introverted, and his every move reveals the shadow of a strict family education. There are too many children in the school who are arrogant because of their good family background, and students like Lu Fei are naturally the pride of teachers.

It's just that a boy of that age rarely pays attention to a girl who is 4 years younger than him and several grades lower, even if she is beautiful. The two officially met during the summer vacation when Xin Chen was 14 years old.

When Xin Chen was in the sixth grade of primary school, his grandparents died one after another, and Xin Kaiyu's state-owned enterprise was in a recession, so he began to quit his job and go to the sea to start a small business. He has always been a smart but playful man who can't set his heart into doing things, sometimes making and sometimes losing. When he made money, he was one of the first people in the city to use mobile phones, and he would take his daughter and niece to the city's most exclusive restaurants for big meals and go to the mall to buy clothes; When he lost money, he was even nervous about living expenses, so he had to accept his brother's quiet help.

Xin Chen once again went to one of the best middle schools in the city like his cousin under the arrangement of his uncle. She began to wear keys around her neck for a long time, and often stayed home alone. During the holidays, her uncle would pick her up and live with Xin Di, so that she would not be left alone and left unattended, and her three meals could only be passed in a small restaurant nearby.

The sisters have always gotten along very closely, especially Xin Di, who was strictly controlled by her mother Li Xin, and went home on time after school, except for Lu Fei, who she had known since childhood, and had no particularly close friends and playmates. She is generous by nature, and she also likes Xinchen, and is willing to share her room, snacks and books with her cousin.

Lu Fei graduated from high school that year and was admitted to a prestigious local school majoring in international finance, at this time his father had been promoted to a key position in the province, and after Xin Kaiming no longer served as his secretary, he was reappointed to a leading position in a district of the city, and his career was also smooth.

Xin Di, who is about to be promoted to the third year, is the same as most children with outstanding specialties, and he is very partial to the subject, and his math scores are very bad, although he has long decided to participate in the art joint examination, but to be admitted to a good school, the score of cultural classes should not be too ugly. That holiday, her friend Lu Fei volunteered to come to her house to help her with her homework.

Someone knocked on the door heavily, Lu Fei went to open the door, only to see a beautiful girl with a ponytail standing at the door, carrying a big backpack, a little shiny sweat on her forehead, holding an ice cream in her left hand and sending it to her mouth, and an unopened ice cream in her right hand. The tip of her pink tongue poked out nimbly, licked off the bit of chocolate, and then walked around him and entered the door, handing the unopened ice cream to Xin Di, "The flute is about to eat, it's going to melt, it's so hot." ”

Xin Di was getting a headache from math, so he dropped his pen and took it and immediately ate it. Xin Chen looked at Lu Fei, "I'm sorry, I didn't know you were here, otherwise I'd buy one more." ”

Lu Fei had already seen Xin Chen at school, and he knew that she was Xin Di's cousin, but after all, she was several grades lower and had not spoken before. The school is full of lively and beautiful girls trying to get his attention, and he has no impression of her, "Thanks, I don't eat this." ”

Xin Chen pursed her lips, obviously thinking that this answer was very boring, she turned her head and said to Xin Di: "Dizi, I'll go to the bookstore to buy books later, can you accompany me?" Someone was following me just now. ”

Xin Di felt that she had been a 17-year-old girl in vain, and she had never seen the stalking of boys, which was really embarrassing, "Which class of little boys?" You just tell him to get out, follow what. ”

This rude answer made Lu Fei frown, but Xin Chen shook his head, "It's not a male classmate, it's a woman, it's quite beautiful, I'm afraid it's my father's affair." ”

This sentence made Lu Fei disagree with it even more than Xin Di's rudeness, but Xin Chen didn't look at him at all, leaned to the sofa, picked up the phone and called Xin Kaiyu's mobile phone, and started a conversation that made Lu Fei even more surprised, "Dad, did you read the newspaper I cut out for you last time?" It was the report that a certain woman and her lover hated because of love, and used sulfuric acid to destroy her lover's daughter Rong. ”

Xin Kaiyu laughed, "I looked at it, I was impressed, it's terrible for women to be paranoid, Tatsuko, don't be such a fool." ”

"Come and teach me a lesson, I told you not to provoke such a woman, I'm afraid of being splashed with sulfuric acid."

"Nonsense, am I the kind of stupid man?"

"Probably not, but today I went back to get my clothes, and a woman has been following me since I came out of the house, and she will go when I go, and she will stop when I stop, so strange, you haven't broken up with anyone recently, right?"

Xin Kaiyu was a little vigilant, thought about it, and really didn't dare to be sure, "Don't go out alone in the past two days, just stay at your uncle's house, I'll be back the day after tomorrow." ”

"I still have reference books that I haven't bought, do I have to go to jail at home?" Xin Chen pouted, "Dad, can you hurry back?" ”

"Okay, okay, I'll try to get as early as possible, okay? Tatsuko, don't run around, be smart. ”

Xin Di had long been accustomed to the tone of conversation between their father and daughter, but she was also very interested in the content, she had a childish curiosity about the little uncle's rich private life, and when Xin Chen put down the phone, she immediately asked: "Is it really the little uncle's old lover who is following you, Chenzi?" ”

"A woman I haven't seen, I don't know." Xin Chen shrugged, not caring at all, "I'll know when my dad comes back." ”

"Let's go out and have a look." Xin Di's life has been peaceful, and his curiosity is full at this time, where can he hold it, "Let's take the parasol and stay away, it should be fine." ”

Lu Fei didn't approve of this kind of troubleshooting at all, but he knew that he couldn't persuade Xin Di's whims, and he couldn't let them face the so-called old lovers and sulfuric acid that seemed to him to be nothing, so he had to go out behind the two girls.

The sun was blazing outside, and the two acacia trees in the yard were in bloom, full of half-red and half-white silky flowers, Xin Chen stopped and looked up at the acacia flowers, "It's really fragrant, do you smell it, Dizi?" As soon as she said this, Lu Fei noticed that there was indeed an imperceptible fragrance in the air, but Xin Di was now thinking of the mysterious woman, and only urged her: "It's not the first time I've seen this flower, hurry up, maybe she's gone." ”

Out of the courtyard, without Xin Chen's finger, Lu Fei and Xin Di also saw that there was a woman in a dress standing in the shade of a tree across the road, staring at them unabashedly.

Xin Di first analyzed her dress and came to the conclusion that the white half-heeled lace-up sandals and the flowing skirt of the yellow dress should be of silk texture and well-fitted, which fits the woman's slender figure and fair complexion very well. Although he is wearing sunglasses, he can also see that he is beautiful and a beauty, and it seems that the little uncle's taste is really good.

Xin Chen only glanced at it, didn't look closely, and took Xin Di's hand and motioned her to go. The three of them walked to the bookstore together, and the woman followed behind.

Turning another intersection, Lu Fei concluded that Xin Chen was not mistaken, and this woman was indeed blatantly following. He didn't want to go on like this, so he motioned for the two girls to stand a little away, turned around and waited, and the woman hurried to follow, almost colliding with him. He looked at her calmly, "What are you doing with us?" ”

She was stunned, and then looked at Xin Chen behind him, and Xin Di hurriedly shouted: "Lu Fei, stand back." ”

Lu Fei didn't move, the woman in front of her was thin, and she only took a small white leather bag, obviously unable to carry the sulfuric acid and the like that Xin Chen had speculated. Her gaze crossed Lu Fei and looked directly at Xin Chen.

"Xin Chen, I want to talk to you."

Xin Chen was not surprised that she called out her name, only smiled and shook her head, "I don't get involved in your adult affairs, if you want to talk, go talk to my father, he is coming back from a business trip, don't follow me in the future." ”

The woman frowned, "I don't want to see your father, Xin Chen." She took off her sunglasses and stared at Xin Chen with a slight smile, "I just want to see you." ”

Xin Chen was about to speak, but Xin Di grabbed her hand. She has been painting countless pixel sketches since elementary school, and she is very sensitive to details, and she can see at a glance that the woman in front of her is about 30 years old, although she is a beautiful woman, and more importantly, she and Xin Chen have subtle similarities in appearance. Xin Chen's eyebrows generally look very similar to her father Xin Kaiyu, and the two pitch-black eyebrows make her delicate face a little heroic, but she is the same as the soft-looking woman in front of her, with the same beauty point, hairline and eyes, and more importantly, when the two of them smile, the dimple on the left cheek is exactly the same, Xin Di was frightened by her own discovery, and her heart beat faster.

"Who are you?" Lu Fei asked coldly, "If you don't make it clear, none of us will talk to you, and we will call the police." ”

"I'm your mother, Xin Chen."

After a moment of silence, Lu Fei and Xin Di were stunned, while Xin Chen only looked her up and down, but remained calm.

Xin Di didn't know Xin Chen's life experience, her illegitimate identity and unknown mother were taboo topics that Xin Kaiming and his wife were unwilling to talk about to anyone, but although Xin Di had never met her little aunt, she also knew that Xin Chen could not be born without a mother.

She was worried that her cousin would be stimulated, so she hurriedly said, "Auntie, please confirm with my little uncle and talk about it later, no one likes to meet a stranger on the road like this, saying that it is his mother's." ”
