Jing Mian's figure paused, and surprise slowly appeared in his eyes.

"I knew that Ren Xingwan wouldn't tell you, and I wouldn't let you know in the future." Li Qiao's eyes showed a wordless coldness, and said: "If it weren't for his mother, who died early, it wouldn't be his turn to return to the Ren family and compete with those two brothers for inheritance." ”

Jing Mian pursed his lips slightly, and when he spoke, his voice was unusually calm: "What do you want to say?" ”

Li Qiao found out that after thinking that the husband she was going to marry in the future was an illegitimate child and not the winner who controlled the overall situation in her imagination, how could Jing Mian show an unacceptable expression.

But in fact, the young man's surprise was only for a moment, and it quickly subsided, as usual.

Li Qiao clenched her fists, her lips sighed softly, and seeing Jing Mian turn around to leave, she said angrily: "What, Ren Gongzi is so good?" You're completely fascinated by him now, and you're starting to forget who you are. ”

Li Qiao's eyes showed ruthlessness: "Have you forgotten what I said to you when I first met you?" ”

Jing Mian's footsteps paused slightly.

……

Of course he couldn't forget.

A year after her mother's death, the woman who was brought home by Jing Guozhen, when they met for the first time, she bent down and handed herself the candy prepared in her pocket, and smiled softly and amiably while introducing herself.

Father Jing watched from the side, very pleased.

It's just that when Jing Guozhen turned around and went out to answer the phone, Li Qiao threw the candy to the ground, the gentle smile disappeared, and the temperature cooled down in an instant.

stretched out the hand that handed the candy, but instead held Jing Mian's chin.

"You're Jingmian?"

Jing Mian's eyebrows froze.

"What I'm about to say, I'll only say it once in my life, and you listen carefully."

Under the slightly stunned gaze of the beautiful boy, Li Qiao smiled and said: "No matter who your mother is and how long she has been dead, in the next few days, remember, I am the mistress of this Jing family." ”

Hearing the previous words, Xiao Jingmian obviously snorted, he began to struggle, and couldn't help shouting 'Dad', but his voice was very weak, as if he was afraid of disturbing Jing Guozhen.

He didn't seem to have anyone to call for help.

Li Qiao frowned, seeing that this child was not honest, so his palms were clenched, and his index finger and thumb were almost pinched into the flesh with the force.

Jing Mian's eyelashes trembled, he whimpered in pain, and tears rolled down his face.

The white and flawless face quickly oozed blood from both sides.

"You don't think that happened like that, your dad still loves you, does he?"

Li Qiao's eyes showed sarcasm, and said: "So in the future, whether we remarry, I will give birth to a new brother or sister for your father." ”

"It's none of your business."

Li Qiao let go of Jing Mian's face, stretched out his fingers, stroked the blood beads on his face, and said softly: "But if you dare to fight with your younger brothers and sisters, even if you have the slightest ......."

"I'll let you recall what it was like to want to die but not die."

Later, under the same roof.

Li Qiao has been pretending to be like that for more than ten years.

Pretending to be a knowledgeable wife, a gentle and virtuous mother, the person who always speaks soft words to intercede for Jing Mian when encountering things, is also the most gentle mother in the world in front of the young Jing Luo, even if Jing Guozhen is not there, Li Qiao still wears that mask and never takes it off.

He didn't even show that appearance with Jing Mian again, so that people had the illusion that Li Qiao doted on the eldest son born to the Jing family's ex-wife, and the ruthless woman who threatened her stepson at the beginning, as if she had never existed.

But Jing Mian remembered it clearly.

And can't forget.

Even though he has grown from a little boy to the adult he is today, and even made a marriage contract with someone else, he is still lukewarm to this young stepmother and avoids her.

And now, the fact that he and Mr. Ren may have a baby in the near future seems to have successfully stimulated Li Qiao.

So much so that she did not hesitate to chase it out, revealing the appearance buried in the depths of Jing Mian's memory.

"And don't forget." Li Qiao circled his chest, gritted his teeth and said: "This marriage was also won by me for you, when the Jing family was facing bankruptcy, it was I who went around fighting for your family marriage to save our unbearable status quo at that time." ”

"Although I didn't expect that the Ren family, which is the highest and cannot climb, would agree to it for the first time, and even actively promote this marriage......" Li Qiao pondered for a while, and said coldly: "It's still thanks to your mother that gave birth to such a good-looking face." ”

The last time he was in the car, Li Qiao had a gentle face, and he used this sentence to stimulate Jing Mian.

And now, Jing Mian has calmed down inexplicably, perhaps because he just saw a doctor in the morning, or perhaps, because of Mr. Ren.

Jing Mian laughed silently, and said with open lips: "At the beginning, the Jing family was on the verge of bankruptcy, and I was treated as a commodity by you and married with other families, which may be due to my face, or thanks to my mother." ”

"But in the end, how did you become a matchmaker?"

Li Qiao's face instantly turned pale.

Probably never thought that Jing Mian would open his mouth to scold her, after all, the well-behaved and gentle young man in front of him had never looked directly at her face like this, and calmly said sharp words that embarrassed her.

Li Qiao was so angry that her breathing was short, she took two steps on the spot, as if she was thinking about replying to her words, but the woman changed her words and asked Jing Mian directly: "You want to have a baby with Ren Xingwan, right?" ”

Although Jing Mian hadn't thought about this question, he was forced to ask him so angrily, but he felt that it didn't seem to be a bad thing to have a child with Mr. Ren.

After all, deep in his heart, he also faintly longs for a warm family and enjoys the company around him, so Mr. Ren and him, whether they live together or respect each other like guests, as long as they are not alone in the future, maybe it will not be so terrible.

Jing Mian sighed secretly and said, "Even if Mr. Ren and I have this plan...... It's also our housework, and it's not something you're qualified to do, are you? ”

This time, Li Qiao's eyes really swelled with panic and impatience.

The atmosphere was silent for tens of seconds.

Seeing that the woman didn't speak, Jing Mian turned around and planned to leave.

It's just that at this moment, Li Qiao's fierce voice suddenly came from behind him:

"Jingmian, are you worthy?"

Jing Mian's footsteps paused.

Li Qiao stood still, her eyes gradually revealed a sharp light, she smiled at the same time, pursed her lower lip, and suddenly said seriously: "Do people like you deserve to be happy?" ”

"Mianmian, have you forgotten how you killed your mother?"

*

Jingmian got into a taxi.

It didn't take long for the driver to look sideways.

The child, who looked to be less than twenty years old, knew at first glance that he was a student.

It's just that compared to the students he usually carries, he is too quiet.

Even though he was active from time to time, the other party did not speak, just lowered his eyes slightly, his knuckles were white, and the wide hoodie covered the boy's face.

The driver actually feels sorry for this kind of silent child, the car has been suppressed for a long time, and there will be various problems that need to be repaired, not to mention living people.

So, when he was about to arrive at his destination, he took down a brand-new doll toy under the front windshield and handed it to Jing Mian.

"This is a random gift for the hundredth guest of the week."

"My daughter bought it, and she hasn't had time to open the box yet."

Jingmian took it silently.

Through the plastic packaging, I saw that inside was a fluffy alpaca.

"Thank you." The driver heard the boy whisper.

When Jing Mian got out of the car to pay, he didn't scan WeChat, but handed over the cash, but when the driver glanced sideways at the banknote that Jing Mian gave him, he found that there were faint blood marks on it.

Jing Mian returned to the front of the house and bowed his head silently.

His fingers were frozen stiff, Jing Mian's fingertips trembled, he pressed his fingerprint, which could not be identified because of the bloodstains, and then entered the password, and found that he had lost several times and was incorrect.

After three times, the button turns off automatically.

The password lock screen goes dark.

Jing Mian subconsciously groped for the door card, looked for a long time, and realized that he didn't have it with him.

Jing Mian's breathing on his lips became rapid, accompanied by a trembling snort, and his soaked back was faintly cold at the moment, shivering with cold.

Soon, the dark ghosting in front of him became thicker and thicker, and he began to breathe.

Jing Mian slowly sat on the ground.

He was forced to start breathing heavily.

The eyes were physiologically hot, and the tip of his nose was pantothenic, as if someone had choked his throat, Jing Mian wanted to find a spare key and return home as soon as possible.

But he never seemed to ask Mr. Ren.

Some shredded silhouettes began to slide in front of me, the sliding light stream, the swaying leather chairs in the car, screaming...... There was also the sound of sudden braking.

It's just that Jing Mian suddenly noticed that the mobile phone in his pocket seemed to be faintly ringing.

He was stunned, and the scene that had just flashed back was interrupted by Kankan, Jing Mian lowered his head, his cuffs reached into his clothes, and took out his mobile phone.

Jing Mian picked it up and took a look.

- It was Mr. Ren.

He looked at it in a trance for a few seconds, put the phone to his ear, and breathed slightly.

"The spare key is under the carpet."

The man's voice rang in his ears.

Jing Mian was slightly stunned, subconsciously lowered his head, touched the edge of the carpet, and sure enough, he touched a hard and round metal ring.

"The keyhole is under the lock, in the middle."

Jing Mian pursed her lips, her eyes searched the place Ren Xingwan said, and successfully found the lock cylinder that she had not noticed.

Jing Mian shook his hand, inserted the key into the lock hole, and turned.

With a click, the door opened.

The faint light in the room fell on Jing Mian's face.

"There's a thousand more kilometers to go."

Mr. Ren's voice was slightly deeper:

"Wait until I get back."
