"Ahhhh! Wuuu!"
Lan Lingche seemed to have found someone he could lean on, and he instantly hugged the little girl and cried.
The little girl just quietly let Lan Lingche hug her, quietly enduring Lan Lingche's weight. She tried her best to hold up the umbrella so that Lan Lingche would not get wet again.
The first time he saw this big brother, he felt so ugly. On a rainy day, he didn't know why, but even though his mother was telling him to hurry home, he still couldn't help but want to comfort this big brother. That feeling was unforgettable. It was just like how his father wanted to divorce his mother. He packed his luggage and left…
Was everyone so selfish?
"Big brother…"
The little girl took out a tissue from her pocket and wiped the tears and rain off Lan Lingche's face. She pouted. Those bad memories made the little girl want to cry.
"Little girl…why are you here? Where's your mother?"
Lan Lingche looked around. This street was a dead end. There was almost no one on it. How could a little girl who was less than ten years old hold an umbrella on the street? He took a look and saw that the little girl was still carrying a school bag. He then looked at his watch. It should be the time when the children in the kindergarten were dismissed from school. It looked like he was used to the wind and rain, and he even brought a small umbrella.
He wiped the little girl's tender face with his hand and smiled. After venting his emotions, Lan Lingche couldn't cry when he saw how cute his little sister was.
"Brother, you look so good when you smile, just like my father.”
The little girl also smiled.
"Your father? What's your name?"
"I'm Yi Bingyu. What's your name, brother?”Yi Bingyu looked at Lan Lingche with a smile. Her dimples curled up at the corners of her mouth, making her look extremely adorable.
Yi Bingyu... Lan Lingche thought about it quietly in his mind, then looked at Yi Bingyu again. The Yi surname was a common surname in this world, and Lan Lingche did not dare to guess that it was from the Yi Group. However, Yi Bingyu's face did look a little like Yi Haoran.
Pursing her lips, she carried Yi Bingyu with one hand and held the small umbrella with the other. He was afraid that Yi Bingyu would catch a cold, so he placed the entire umbrella around Yi Bingyu.
She was an angel sent by God to save her. Even if she was from the Yi Group, she was still an angel.
"Let's go to my house first, Xiao Yu."
"Um…sure."
Yi Bingyu pondered for a moment, then seemed to have thought of something and agreed to Lan Lingche's request. In fact, she was not as innocent as the other nine-year-olds. When she was five, she had watched her mother and father quarrel. This year, because they were arguing about splitting the assets, her mother could not help but chase her father away after the court ruling came down. As for herself…she was just an innocent person. She had done nothing wrong, but her parents had left her.
She hated that mother who only knew how to smoke and gamble!
She turned her face away, not wanting her big brother to see her like this. Even Yi Bingyu found it annoying, because it was not good to look sad. She was such a cute person. How could she be sad?
Her small hands clenched into fists.
Lan Lingche walked quietly. The rain was still falling, and it didn't seem like it was going to stop. His eyes were very dry, and Lan Lingche felt that tears couldn't flow out anymore. Moreover, his eyes were abnormally sour.
Ding dong…
Ye Moyin pressed the doorbell and saw Lan Lingche carrying a very cute little girl back. She was drenched.
"Eh? What's wrong with you?" Ye Moyin looked at Lan Lingche, who was drenched from head to toe. She was very curious about what he had experienced. He looked very tired and tired. Wasn't he eating with Li Xiangyun? Why was his face still bruised and swollen…Did he get beaten up? Were the two of them so at odds? Fighting as soon as they sat down? Fighting in the rain? What was going on with this little girl?
"Help her shower first."
Lan Lingche squatted down and put Yi Bingyu down. He closed the umbrella and walked up the stairs to his room.
She closed the door. It was so quiet. The dark room, the cold space, and the world that belonged only to her. He didn't want Ye Moyin to start sympathizing with him because she knew about this. He didn't need to have any feelings. Maybe he could talk about it in the future. He wasn't as despicable as Li Xiangyun, who used his insignificant family background to gain sympathy.
She took off her shirt and pants, looked at herself in the mirror, and took out a photo of herself and her parents. After looking at it for a while, her tears stopped flowing. Had she shed enough? Lan Lingche thought,
"Mom, I won't tolerate it anymore. I want to fight back. I'm not easy to bully, and tolerance will only bring more bullying. There won't be a good outcome.”
Lan Lingche closed his eyes and thought to himself.
In those scenes, Han Xiaoxue was chasing after him while he smiled at her and said," That's my mother. Isn't she pretty?
[What should I do?]
“”
Ye Moyin looked at Lan Lingche and lowered her head,""Xiao Yu said you were crying in a corner. What's wrong? Lan Lingche? Did something happen?"
His boring imagination just now didn't seem to be able to express what had happened between Lan Lingche and Li Xiangyun. Lan Lingche couldn't possibly cry like this after being beaten up, right? Ye Moyin thought to herself, Lan Lingche doesn't look like someone who would cry just because she was beaten. She's so thick-skinned.
"No."
Ye Moyin caught Lan Lingche's evasive eyes as he spoke and quickly grabbed his hand. It was cold. Was her heart crying too?
She couldn't help but lean forward to hug Lan Lingche. If his friend was sad, then let him make up for it. He was such a strong person. It was impossible for him to be like him, right?
"Lan Lingche, I don't know what happened. Since you don't want to tell me, I won't force you. But when the day comes that you want to say it, I'm still willing to be your audience.”Ye Moyin became serious and frowned.""Because we are friends." Ye Moyin did not expect to say this out loud, and it was such a hurtful thing. She vaguely realized that Lan Lingche seemed to like her, which was why she cared so much about her behavior towards Li Xiangyun. However, her feelings for Lan Lingche were not love, but friendship. It was more of an inexplicable dependence. Just looking at him gave her a sense of security. She knew that with him around, she would have the whole world and would not be lonely. Quarreling was also a good way to kill time.
Lan Lingche was stunned. He knew that Ye Moyin's last sentence was telling him that they were just good friends and that there was no other relationship between them. Was she telling him not to think too much?
Ye Moyin could feel that Lan Lingche had stopped talking,""What's wrong with you?"
Ye Moyin let go of Lan Lingche's embrace and covered his forehead with her hand. It was normal to have a fever from the rain, but the temperature was just right...
"Let's go downstairs and drink some green bean soup.”
"Dad, Mom, why do you suddenly want to come back?”
Han Xiaoxue looked at her parents who were still very young. Her heart, which had been so disappointed by Lan Lingche recently, slowly warmed up.
"I didn't plan to return to China at first, but it was because I was on a business trip.”Han Xiaoxue's mother explained as she took out a simple doll from her suitcase.
It looked like it could be found at a street stall.
The "Sunny Day Doll" was also known as "Sun-sweeping Lady." It was a paper-cut woman's portrait that was hung under the eaves when praying for the rain to stop and the sky to clear. It was cut out of red or green paper (people were also cut out of white paper, and then cut into red clothes and green pants with red and green paper). "Her style is usually to wear flowers on her head and hold a broom in her hand. Her mission is to sweep away the haze and usher in sunny days so that she can go out to dry her food," Han Xiaoxue's mother said in a deep tone.
She knew that her daughter had been sad about Lan Lingche's matter recently. However, her daughter refused to listen to her advice. She had liked Lan Lingche since she was young, but Lan Lingche's heart was not with her daughter at all. She had accidentally reached the age of youth. Lan Lingche had already blossomed, but her daughter still refused to give up. As a mother, she did not know what to do.
Because she was afraid of pain, she only gave birth to Xueyin. Because she was the only child in the family, she was especially doted on. It was inevitable that her unrequited love had someone she loved.
Therefore, Han Xiaoxue's mother planned to make a sunny day doll to tell her not to be sad.
" Mom..." Han Xiaoxue's eyes suddenly filled with tears. Her hands trembled as she held the sunny doll. She didn't know what to say. It was good to have someone to comfort her when she was in trouble. She didn't say anything. Just giving her a small toy could make her cry.
She liked Lan Lingche. If he still couldn't like her in the future, then Han Xiaoxue would probably give up, right?
Those who didn't know!
Han Xiaoxue's father, Han Zhengyi, looked at his daughter and took a deep breath. No matter what he said, she wouldn't listen. His wife had to say it many times before she agreed to control her temper. People said that a girl would change when she grew up and that she couldn't be kept. However, this child had already been a girl since she was young. He was her father, her first man, but she didn't take it to heart and had always placed her heart on Lan Lingche. She really didn't know what was good about him.
He had told his wife these words, but her wife said that he was jealous?
Women, women.
He pulled the newspaper and read it carefully. When he saw the headline," Yi Group has gone bankrupt," he nodded in satisfaction. Yi Haoran must be furious. Haha!
The reason why he returned to China for a business trip was mainly because of this matter, and a small part of it was to see his infatuated daughter.
"You, you, you can't keep a grown woman!”Han Xiaoxue's father couldn't help but sigh. He put the newspaper aside, took out a roly-roly-doll from his pocket, and handed it to Han Xiaoxue with a cold face.
"A strong-willed roly-doll usually has a big smile on its face, which means that it has to have a good attitude when encountering any setbacks. Xueyin, I hope you can see it through. Some relationships can only be eternal if you have friends. Forced love can only end this relationship as soon as possible. You can't bear to?"
Han Xiaoxue's father looked at her tentatively.
Han Xiaoxue lowered her head and bit her lip.
Han Xiaoxue's mother tugged at Han Zhengyi's clothes and looked as if she had expected better from him. On the plane, she had already reminded him repeatedly not to say these words as soon as he came back. It made it seem as if his father and daughter had overnight grudges. It was not easy for him to come back, but he said these things and asked his daughter to give up on her budding love. How could there be such a father? Moreover, he wasn't worried that Lan Lingche's family would come and say that his daughter was shameless. Back then, he had asked them for a favor. If his daughter had the ability to make his son like her, he would let them get married. Otherwise, he wouldn't want her, no matter what methods he used to get rid of those that threatened her health.
Han Zhengyi glanced at his wife, then stood up to indicate that he did not want to say anything else. He had been talking for fifteen years. His lips were already worn out, and his daughter had yet to listen. What was the point of him still talking? Isn't this self-deception? If it weren't for the fact that she's my daughter, why would I say such things?
"Ignore your father. He's always like this. He doesn't even care about his own daughter and even wants her to give up as soon as possible. You have to know that my Xueyin is good from head to toe.”
Han Xiaoxue's mother patted Han Xiaoxue's shoulder. Youth love should be encouraged, not to be attacked. It would be bad if it caused psychological trauma. Moreover, she was a girl. If she did not plan to fall in love in the future, when would she be able to look forward to having a grandson? Although he was not anxious now, it did not mean that he would not be anxious in the future! People should look further ahead and occasionally see the future, right?
"Mom, you're the best." Han Xiaoxue gave her mother a big hug and a kiss. "Mom, I'll be careful. I won't go overboard.”
Han Xiaoxue gave her mother a reassuring smile. She still liked him in her heart. She said this because she didn't want her mother to think that she was a vicious woman who had evil intentions. She was definitely not. If they wanted to compete, wasn't a roly-roly-man supposed to be strong and never back down? Then he would never back down! Until the target was reached.
"That's good. Xue Ying, I believe that you will find your true love very soon.”
"Thank you, Mom. Shall I help you move your luggage upstairs?”
"No need. Just get the servants to move it later. Hurry up and go to sleep."
"Yes, alright."
Yi Bingyu ate bread and drank green bean soup. It had been a long time since he had had a drink. Ever since his father left, no one had cooked green bean soup for him. His mother would not treat him like this. She would only gamble with the guests in the private rooms. It was so noisy.
"Xiaoyu, do you still want it?"
Ye Moyin watched as she gobbled down the green bean soup that she had cooked and was even happy because her cooking skills were not bad. He glanced at Lan Lingche and saw that this guy didn't really like his cooking. He really couldn't stand it.
"Xiao Yu, what's your home phone number? I'll call home for you. Your parents will be worried if they don't see you.”
Lan Lingche suddenly remembered that he had brought her back without her family's permission.
When Yi Bingyu heard that they were going to send him home, he anxiously looked up at Lan Lingche. Tears immediately flowed out of his eyes,"" I don't want to…I don't want to go home…"
Ye Moyin immediately picked Yi Bingyu up and patted her back." Okay, okay, okay. Be good, Xiaoyu. Don't cry anymore. Tell me why you don't want to go home."”
Weird, weird, really weird. Usually, children would be reluctant to leave their homes. This Xiao Yu was really weird. Could it be that both her parents were very bad? How did he discipline her? Moreover, Xiaoyu looked like her family was really not doing well.，
"We don't even have a father at home…"
Yi Bingyu pouted.
"No father?" "Didn't you say that I…" Lan Lingche frowned.
"Daddy and Mommy split up. Mommy always gambles, and Daddy was so disappointed. Then, they split up. Mommy ignored Xiao Yu. She kept gambling, and Xiao Yu didn't want to go back to that home…Sob, sob, sob. A home without Daddy isn't a home. I hate mommy, I hate mommy. I don't want to go back. Brother and sister, I don't want to go back.”
Yi Bingyu leaned on Ye Moyin's shoulder and cried,
Ye Moyin's heart softened when she heard that. She didn't know why, although it was different from her own. It was also different. However, it was the same when there was no warmth at home. Ye Moyin could understand the feeling of not having any warmth at home. It was like living on the streets, not knowing what to do. Even the air was not good. She wanted to escape but could not leave.
"Hello, Lan Lingche…"
Lan Lingche stood up." We have to contact her parents. It's illegal for us to leave a child at home without her parents 'consent." We are not her guardians."
Lan Lingche said solemnly. He was only stating a fact. Although he wanted Yi Bingyu to stay, he could also experience the feeling of not having warmth at home. It was the same overseas, since he was eight years old.
“。”Lan Lingche dialed Yi Bingyu's home phone number.
toot Toot
"Hey, who are you?"
Lan Lingche couldn't take it anymore and moved his ears away a little. He sighed in his heart. No wonder Xiao Yu didn't want to come back to this house. He really felt sorry for Xiao Yu. Although Lan Lingche didn't see Yi Bingyu's mother, he knew that she didn't care much about Yi Bingyu from the way she urged others to play their cards on the other end of the phone.
"I'm her teacher. Xiao Yu is going to faint from a cold today, so she's at my house. Because the doctor said that I can't get caught in the wind, so I plan to…"
"Do whatever you want. I'm hanging up.”
Lan Lingche sighed. What a mother. She would ignore the chance to ask who he was just to play cards. If he was a bad person, he could take advantage of the situation.
Ye Moyin knew the result when she saw Lan Lingche's expression. It seemed that she was really a gambling mother. A mother who could ignore her own daughter for gambling was not worthy of being a mother. If she was willing to give birth, she would have to take responsibility until the end. Otherwise, she would not have given birth. Why did Zuo Wen want to die?!
Ye Moyin covered her forehead with her hand. She was really in a bad mood.
"Xiao Yu, you can sleep with me today.”
"Sure,"
Yi Bingyu broke into a smile and hugged Ye Moyin's card. Then, she rubbed against Ye Moyin's card, not caring if it was uncomfortable or not. "Sister, it feels so good to meet you. I really don't want to be separated from you.”
"Then don't separate." Ye Moyin laughed and flicked Yi Bingyu's forehead.
Lan Lingche had already started cleaning up the table when Ye Moyin carried Yi Bingyu upstairs. Then, he called Leng Mingye and asked him to quickly check on the Yi Group. If the Yi Group went bankrupt, Yi Bingyu would naturally be here. The collapse of a group would definitely implicate many things. Yi Bingyu's mother had gambled because of the collapse of the company, and Yi Haoran had left because he couldn't stay in the country anymore.
She didn't answer Leng Mingye's question and asked him to bring Ling Gu and Mengshui Siqing back tomorrow.
The thunder rumbled and the rain suddenly fell like a broken string.
The rain continued to pour, and the rainwater from the upper reaches gathered into streams on the ground.
Heavy rain fell from the sky, and the dark sky seemed to be about to collapse.
The wind chased after the rain, and the rain chased after the wind. The wind and the rain combined to chase after the dark clouds in the sky. The entire world was in the rain.
The rain was like thousands of silver threads falling from the celestial heavens.
Dark clouds rolled over from the horizon. In an instant, it rained heavily from the sky.
In an instant, the raindrops formed a line. With a whoosh, the heavy rain poured down from the sky as if the sky had collapsed.
The storm was like countless whips, lashing at the glass windows.
Lan Lingche looked at the sky. Was something going to happen? Why did it turn from sunny noon to rainy? It was so strange.
He drew the curtains and continued to wash the dishes. He put the bread into the fridge, turned off the lights, and went upstairs.
Hearing Yi Bingyu's laughter, she knew that Ye Moyin was doing well with her.
