I never expected that the person who opened the door for me after school was my female class monitor in high school.
What's even more unexpected is that she's actually my stepmother now!
Of course, this wasn't the moon's fault. It was my damn father's fault.
Half an hour ago…
"Little Wei, you're back from the holidays. Dad wanted to wait for you at home, but..."
"I know you're busy. Go ahead and do your thing. Don't worry about me.”I didn't feel anything about Dad not being able to wait for me at home, and I never really treated him as a father.
For as long as I could remember, my parents had been working outside, and I had been living with my elderly grandmother all these years until I went to university and came to this city...
After Grandma passed away last year, I had no choice but to come to Dad's place during the summer vacation this year.
"Xiaoling is at home. I'm on a business trip. She'll take good care of you.”Dad added softly.
"I don't want her to take care of me! When I get home, you'd better make her stop bothering me!”I shouted at the phone.
Xiaoling is Dad's new wife last year. I've never seen her before.
At this moment, I couldn't help but think of my poor mother. She had worked hard with my father in this city for more than ten years, but she died in a car accident before my father's company was officially established...
That was two years ago. Because of the college entrance examination, my mother had to be rescued in the hospital until she finally left the world. My father had always hidden it from me. This was the most unforgivable thing. I didn't even have the time to see him.
The last time she saw her mother…
" Sigh…" Dad sighed."There's a big business deal. I have to fly over personally tonight. I'll think of a way to get back as soon as possible. Little Wei, don't blame Daddy…Daddy did it.
All of this is for…"
"I won't say anymore." I hung up the phone. To be honest, I really didn't want to stay at his place, but…I don't seem to have anywhere else to go now.
Dad should be very rich now, because you can see the large advertisements of his company all over the street. However, he doesn't give me much living expenses every month.
"He's very stingy. Grandma said so. Of course, I think so too. Let's take the place where he lives now. It's very ordinary. It's a very ordinary garden community. It's not even a villa. Although he's very stingy, he doesn't even have a villa."
Although he said that everything he has is mine, I still think that he is stingy, so I hate him even more from the bottom of my heart.
His mother died because of him, and now, only two years had passed, and he had married a young and beautiful wife…
It was almost ten o'clock in the evening when they arrived at the building. There were not many people in Huayuan Estate.
"Is it Little Wei?" When I rang the doorbell, a woman's voice came from inside.
"It's me." I replied in a muffled voice.
"I'll open the door for you right away." Not long after the female voice stopped, the door of the unit opened automatically.
Until now, I still haven't connected this woman with my female class monitor, Qin Ling…
If I knew it was her, I wouldn't have gone up even if I were beaten to death. This summer, even if I had nowhere else to go, I would rather sleep on the streets than stay here.
"It's…you?"
After going upstairs, Qin Ling, who was standing by the door, looked at me with her mouth wide open in surprise.
"What…are you doing here?”My brain short-circuited for a moment. Obviously, I hadn't connected the words 'her' and 'my stepmother'.
When I was in school, it was usually taboo for Qin Ling to suddenly appear in my house…
Qin Ling used to show up at my house when she was in school…I think it was my grandma's house…There were three times in total. One time, I didn't hand in my homework on time, the other time, I got into a fight with someone, and the last time…Let's not talk about it anymore…
Embarrassing.
"Little Wei…So it's you?" Qin Ling's face seemed to have turned red all of a sudden, but she pretended to be quite calm.
Although my brain was a little short-circuited, I still quickly connected the 'Xiaoling' in my dad's mouth with the Qin Ling in front of me after a few seconds...
At a certain moment, I had the urge to die…
"Why are you standing there like a fool? Come in." Qin Ling reached out and pulled me into the room. My mind was even more blank. At this time, I should have run away.
" Hehe, Xiao Wei…When your father mentioned you, I said that your name was the same as my high school classmate, but I didn't expect it to really be you…" After Xiao Ling entered the hall, she turned around and looked at me.
He went to make tea.
I was a little depressed and couldn't say a word. Perhaps what she said was true? She didn't look like she was pretending, because I didn't even have a photo of me when I grew up with Dad.
Yes.
"Don't call me Little Wei, Little Wei. I seem to be one year older than you!”I replied to Xiaoling unhappily. During high school, she was the class monitor and would report me to the class teacher at any time.
I have been bullied by her a lot, and even now, I still feel a little weak towards her.
"Haha." Xiaoling smiled. When she handed the teacup over, the lid of the teacup shook non-stop. I suddenly understood that she wasn't as calm as she appeared.
He was even more nervous than me.
"Hehe." Seeing her so nervous, I suddenly had an indescribable psychological advantage. Yes, she was no longer my class monitor, and it was impossible for her to report me to the class teacher.
What's there to be afraid of?
Hearing my smile, Xiaoling glared at me out of habit. Her expression seemed to relax. She turned around and poured herself a cup of tea before sitting down opposite me.
"Why did you marry an old man?" I didn't raise my head and mocked Xiaoling. However, I still held back in my tone because I wasn't such a mean person.
If it was someone else, perhaps I wouldn't have given her a good look, but I've been classmates with Xiaoling for three years after all. I should at least give her some face.
"Is he…old?" Xiaoling seemed to become uneasy again. Meeting her under such circumstances was indeed not easy to face, whether it was for her or for me.
I didn't say anything. I knew Xiaoling would continue.
" He's only in his early forties…You know, a month before the college entrance examination, my mother fell seriously ill. I didn't do well in the examination, but even if I did well, my family didn't have the money to support my studies…"
Xiaoling said that she knew, but in fact, I didn't know at all. In some ways, I was more hostile to her in high school. Moreover, I was so busy a month before the college entrance examination that I was dizzy. Who would care about her?
Other people's business?
"After receiving the notice, I didn't go to school. Instead, I came here to work as a waiter in a hotel opposite your father's company. He often comes here to treat people to drinks…
…”
"You don't have to tell me this." I interrupted Xiaoling's words and drank my tea gloomily. In my heart, my father was a heartless person, and everything he did must be despicable.
After Xiaoling was interrupted by me, she probably saw that I was in a bad mood, so she didn't say anything else. She just looked at me uneasily. I didn't look at her, but I still felt a little awkward. After looking around,
"Isn't he rich?" Why did I let you live in such a shabby place?”
I didn't mean that my father abused her or didn't give her money to spend. Instead, I meant that you married him because you saw that he was rich. Young and beautiful
Exchanging for money was the rule of the current society.
"My mother's illness has already cost him a lot of money. How can I spend his money again? Was this house shabby? I think it's fine." Xiaoling answered me carefully, far from being
I couldn't help but laugh at her domineering appearance when she first became the female class monitor.
No matter how she explained, in the end, if my dead father didn't have money, he wouldn't have married her. A company's CEO, a hotel waiter, this story couldn't be any more vulgar.
It was so vulgar that he could think of a whole bunch of them even with his eyes closed.
"Did you hate me in high school?”After a moment of silence, Xiaoling found a new topic to ease the awkwardness between us.
"Hate you?" I thought about it and shook my head."I kind of hate you. I think you're very boring. You always report to the teacher when you have nothing to do. I'm not the only one who hates you.
You, some people even said that they would find an opportunity to beat you up.”
"They dare!" Xiaoling's eyes suddenly flashed with a trace of light. This light belonged to the unique domineering aura of the class monitor in high school, but it was fleeting.
"I don't dare. It's so embarrassing to bully a girl. If word gets out, my reputation will be ruined.”I shook my head again and pretended to look at Xiaoling with disdain. It had only been two years. Perhaps it was the special situation now.
When they sat together and talked about high school topics, it was as if they were talking about the distant past.
"Hehe, actually, I quite liked you guys at that time. Xiao Qiang, Fatty, and you.”Xiaoling's chatterbox was opened, and she seemed to have returned to her high school memories.
。
"You like it? The way you like us is to snitch on us to the form teacher, watch us get criticized, and then secretly laugh, right?”I looked at Xiaoling hatefully.
He did hate her, but he felt indifferent now.
" I tried to persuade you, but you didn't listen. That's why you complained to the teacher. I'm doing this for your own good…" Xiaoling pouted, looking a little aggrieved.
"For our own good, sigh…I'm so touched.”I replied sarcastically. Speaking of which, she didn't seem to care much about other boys at that time, but always stared at us.
I was particularly impressed.
"You have to be good this summer. Otherwise, I'll tell your father about you!”Xiaoling changed the topic and looked at me with a smirk.
