"Shouldn't they worry about you?"

Xiong Liangdong turned slightly sideways and looked at Xie Yiming: "If I'm not mistaken, Lin Ran is a stepmother, right?" ”

"It's my stepmother, what's wrong?"

Xie Yiming didn't understand whether Lin Ran was his stepmother and what did he have to do with not wanting Lao Xie and Lin Ran to worry about his affairs?

"How does she treat you?" Xiong Liangdong asked.

Xie Yiming said: "......"

"I'm not a three- or two-year-old child, how good is she to me, how bad is it, can you still interfere in our family's family affairs?"

"So she's good or bad for you?" Xiong Liangdong asked.

Lin Ran's good or bad treatment of Xie Yiming can help him confirm Lin Ran's recognition and happiness of this marriage.

"Not good, and then what?"

"Why did she treat you badly? Did he abuse you? ”

"Yes!"

Hearing this, Xiong Liangdong's face changed suddenly: "She really abused you?" ”

"Hmm."

"Does your dad know about this?"

"Yes!"

"He doesn't care?"

"He is a mud bodhisattva himself, and he can't protect himself, how can he manage me."

Xiong Liangdong: ???

"Who do you say is the mud bodhisattva crossing the river and it is difficult to protect himself?"

"My dad, Xie Yecheng."

It was only then that Xiong Liangdong reacted that he was fooled by Xie Yiming.

He picked up the eraser on the table and smashed it at Xie Yiming.

"Stinky boy, are you playing with me?"

Xie Yiming quickly dodged his attack and said, "No, I'm serious!" ”

"You don't know how excessive Lin Ran is, she pulls me to eat and drink all day long, and she insists on me being her best friend, she believes me in the whole world, and tells me something like a chatter all day long, I am impatient to listen, she will use money to hit me, so that I can't refuse, and even take advantage of my two younger brothers to sleep and pull me and Lao Xie to accompany her to eat barbecue, drink beer, and crayfish......"

Xiong Liangdong: "......"

Why does this kid look so badly beaten?

"The most excessive thing is that she actually asked me to help her watch the child, and justifiably commanded us to do this and that in the name of independence, we don't dare to make her unhappy, otherwise Lao Xie should settle accounts with us, do you say she is abusing me? So hurry up and save me from the dire situation, or use your teaching skills to teach Lin Ran how to be a qualified mother! ”

Xiong Liangdong: "......"

"Okay, I'll call Lin Ran now and talk to her about it!"

Xiong Liangdong took out his mobile phone and was about to call Lin Ran.

Xie Yiming's face changed slightly: "Old Xiong, it's boring if you want to do this." ”

"Isn't it interesting? Why do I think it's interesting? Xiong Liangdong looked at Xie Yiming jokingly, "Are you still making fun of me?" ”

Xie Yiming: "Who told you to ask some nonsense?" ”

Don't say that Lin Ran is good to him, even if Lin Ran is really bad to him, he can't tell them!

Xiong Liangdong paused and said, "Then let me ask some nutritious ones, does your biological mother still have contact with you and your father?" ”

Xie Yiming: "......"

"Old Xiong, I don't think you should be a teacher, just change your career to be a private detective!"

"Why can't you say that?"

Xiong Liangdong just wanted to know what Xie Yecheng's previous marriage was like, but he couldn't ask Xie Yiming directly.

Of course, he also knew that even if he asked, Xie Yiming would not be able to tell him.

"I can, but I don't want to."

Xie Yiming paused and said, "Forget it, I still won't ask you." ”

Anyway, Lin Ran is also a breathless.

He believed that it wouldn't be long before he would find out what Old Man Xiong had told Lin Ran and them.

"Wait!" Xiong Liangdong suddenly stopped him.

Xie Yiming looked back at him and said, "Anything else?" ”

"Hmm." Xiong Liangdong got up and looked around, making sure that there was no one around, so he pulled Xie Yiming to his side and whispered, "Can you tell me about Lin Ran and her family?" ”

Xie Yiming: ???

"So you just asked East and West just to know as much as you can about Lin Ran? Old Xiong, just now I wanted to say why the moment you saw Lin Ran, it was like the sky had fallen? Is there something behind this? If you don't make things clear to me, I can't tell you anything related to Lin Ran. ”

Ordinary families know that family ugliness is not publicized, and it is even more impossible for families like them to easily disclose the privacy of their family members to the outside world.

Xiong Liangdong paused and said, "She is very similar to an old man I knew when I was young. ”

"Do you have a picture?" Xie Yiming asked.

The subtext is that he can't believe it without a photo.

Even if he knew that the person in front of him could be trusted.

"Yes, you wait for me to find out."

It is said to be looking for, but in fact, it is just a matter of opening the wallet.

Looking at Xiong Liangdong's appearance of carefully taking out the photo, Xie Yiming paused and said, "Old Xiong, can you say anything about the relationship between this person and you?" ”

Xiong Liangdong took out his hand and said lightly: "She has nothing to do with me." ”

Xie Yiming: ???

"You ......" doesn't look like it.

"She's the only person I ever loved when I was young, but it's a pity that ......," Xiong Liangdong sighed, and stopped talking.

Seeing this, Xie Yiming hesitated.

I don't know if I should continue to ask.

Xiong Liangdong looked at the girl in the photo with affectionate eyes and said: "When she was 21 years old, she went out on a trip with her classmates and then there was no news, and I looked for many places with her family, until someone told me that I had seen her in Nancheng...... But I've been to many places in the South Side over the years to no avail. ”

After speaking, he handed the yellowed photo in his hand to Xie Yiming.

Xie Yiming was shocked the moment she saw the photo.

Lin Ran is almost exactly the same as the girl in the photo, but ...... Lin Ran's mother seems to have passed away.

Looking at Xiong Liangdong, who was already full of gray hair, Xie Yiming suddenly didn't dare to tell him this cruel fact, he was afraid that the person he was looking for was really Lin Ran's mother, if that was the case...... And what about him...... Xie Yiming was afraid that he would not be able to bear it.

"Old Xiong, you, you shouldn't have married her for the rest of your life, right?" Xie Yiming asked this question a little difficult.

Even if he doesn't understand those feelings, he knows how heavy the old bear's love is.

"Yes and no, but I really haven't met a second girl like her in all these years."

"But ......" Lin Ran's mother is no longer there.

Looking at the stammering teenager, Xiong Liangdong smiled: "I know that Lin Ran's mother is no longer there. ”

"Then ...... are you okay?"

"I haven't been able to find her in Nancheng all these years, and I've already guessed that she may not be there, and I've long accepted this fact."

Even so, over the years, as long as he has time, he will go to different places in Nancheng, fantasizing about whether she has ever walked on these roads like him, and he will also wonder what she has encountered, why she suddenly appeared in Nancheng and why she doesn't contact her family, doesn't she know that everyone is very worried about her?

It was precisely because of these questions that he did not leave Nancheng even though he knew that Wei Yongshi might not be there.

He's waiting and looking for time to give him an answer.

Fortunately, God lived up to him, and finally sent Lin Ran to him.
