"No battery? Is it possible for a mobile phone as good as yours to run out of battery?" Ling Tongyu heard from his colleagues at the company earlier that one of his mobile phones cost more than one million yuan, and it was some kind of advanced custom-made model. In short, it was very expensive.
luxury.
It made her unhappy with Han Wenbo's date.
"Mom, I can testify that uncle's cell phone is really out of battery." Ling Xiaoxi immediately raised her hand to speak for Han Jifeng.
"How did you get together?" Forget it, it was already here, and Ling Tongyu had no choice but to stop thinking about her date with Han Wenbo.
"Uncle said that he hadn't seen me for a long time and wanted to treat me to something to eat." Xiaoxi said as she ate the seafood pizza in front of her with relish, her mouth full of oil.
Han Jifeng picked up the drink in front of him and took a sip, "I'm worried that some people are irresponsible mothers and only go out to date and fall in love with their rumored boyfriends, starving their own children."
"Han Jifeng!" Ling Tongyu blushed after hearing this and lowered his voice, "Don't talk nonsense in front of Xiaoxi!"
"Mom, it's okay. Love matters are very complicated. I know, maybe you should ask your uncle to give you a reference or something." Xiaoxi said like a little adult while chewing pizza.
"Pfft..." Ling Tongyu almost spat out a sip of drink from his mouth, "You little thing, what is love and how complicated it is? You speak clearly and logically, who taught you?"
Xiaoxi picked up the kumquat tea on the side. Han Jifeng carefully held the bottom of the cup for her with his hands. After Xiaoxi took a sip of the fruit tea, she said, "You don't need to be taught, I know everything."
"Hello, sir, madam. If your consumption this time exceeds 699, you can apply for a VIP membership card. Do you need to apply for it?" At this time, the Pizza Hut waiter came over, holding the bill in his hand, very helpful.
Ask politely.
Mr? Mrs?
The waiter obviously regarded the three of them as a family!
There was a strange change in the expression on Han Jifeng's face, "Sir, Mrs.?"
When Ling Tongyu heard this, his face turned red, and he immediately waved his hands to deny it, "You are mistaken, we are not a family. This is my daughter, but I am not his wife."
After hearing this, the waiter showed a trace of embarrassment on his face and apologized quickly, "I'm sorry, you two, because I saw that this little girl and Mr. Han looked very similar between their eyebrows, so I mistakenly thought that the three of them were from the same family.
I'm so sorry."
"Like?" After hearing this, Han Jifeng looked towards Xiaoxi who was eating happily, carefully examined her facial features, and then looked at his own appearance at the pillar on the side where the figure could be found, and said, "Ling Tong
Yu, if you don’t say it, you don’t think it. Put it this way, Xiaoxi and I are really similar, especially the eyes and nose, what’s going on?”
When Ling Tongyu heard this, he immediately panicked and denied, "There is no resemblance, you are thinking too much! My Xiaoxi has a popular face, and yesterday someone said that Xiaoxi's mouth looks like his
Where’s the mouth.”
"Public face?" Han Jifeng stretched out his hand and pinched Xiaoxi's chubby little cheek, "How could such a beautiful and cute face be a popular face? Ling Tongyu, forget it if you are a popular face, don't treat us like
The beautiful Xiaoxi is included."
"How can I have a public face? I am not a public face, okay?" Ling Tongyu said unconvinced when he heard him demeaning herself in this way, "I used that face comparison software to compare, and the only difference between my face and Jin Xishan's was
Twenty percent, okay? Kim Hee Sun is the most beautiful woman in Korea!"
"Hey..." Han Jifeng laughed hard.
In this way, the three of them were chatting and eating in Pizza Hut, looking harmonious.
At this time, Ling Tongyu inadvertently raised her head and looked outside the restaurant. Suddenly, a figure appeared in her sight, and her heart suddenly froze——
That is?
"..." She stood up suddenly and ran out of the restaurant, a strong fire burning in her heart.
"Mother……"
"Ling Tongyu!" When Han Jifeng saw this, he didn't understand what was going on. He immediately picked up Xiaoxi and ran out after her.
Ling Yunming, who was dressed in rags like a beggar and was rummaging through the trash can for something to eat, heard this familiar voice and suddenly retracted his hand. When he turned around, he saw Ling Tongyu running towards him.
He threw away the snack box in his hand, turned around and ran away.
"Dad, stop! Stop!" Ling Tongyu shouted as he ran, tears streaming down his face.
Ling Yunming saw Ling Tongyu getting closer and closer to him, and quickly ducked into a small alley——
"Uh!" However, as soon as he ducked in, he was kicked in the chest. He fell to the ground. He was about to get up, but when he looked up, he saw a face as cold as the King of Hell. Han Jifeng stopped him.
In front of him, he was so frightened that he immediately curled up on the ground and did not dare to move. This man's expressionless look was so scary!
"Grandpa!" Xiaoxi, who was held in Han Jifeng's arms, shouted in surprise when she saw the person in front of her.
No wonder my mother suddenly chased me out. It turned out that she saw my grandpa.
At this time, Ling Tongyu ran over panting, fell down on the ground tiredly, held up her stomach, and glared with resentful eyes at Ling Yunming, who lowered his head and did not dare to look at her.
"Mom...Uncle, let me down!" Xiaoxi broke away from Han Jifeng's arms and stood beside Ling Tongyu, holding her arm.
Suddenly, Ling Tongyu climbed up to her father and beat him with her hands, crying and shouting——
"Why is this, why? Have you never thought about what will happen to me and Xiaoxi? There is also my sister, there is still no whereabouts of her, are you not worried at all? You just walked away quietly like this!"
"Xiao, Xiaoyu..." After being beaten for a long time, Ling Yun raised his head nervously. He didn't know how long it had been since he took a shower and washed his face. His face was dirty, covered with a thick layer of dust, and he was covered with odor.
It had a strong rancid smell, like it came from a garbage dump.
Xiaoxi's little face turned red and white with anger, "Grandpa, how could you treat your mother like this? Is your mother not treating you well?"
"Xiao Xi..." There was a hint of guilt in Ling Yunming's cloudy eyes, "Grandpa was wrong."
"Humph!" Xiaoxi puffed up her cheeks, and she also cried sadly, rubbing her eyes while crying, sobbing, "Grandpa, you say this every time, and mom forgives you every time, but you don't stop
Hurt mom, woo woo, grandpa, you are a bad person, you are a bad person!"
Ling Yunming felt guilty and did not dare to raise his head.
Ling Tongyu recovered from her excitement. She stood up from the ground coldly and said to him expressionlessly, "Xiaoxi, let's go home."
"Xiaoyu!" Suddenly, he reached out and grabbed Ling Tongyu's clothes, looked at her pitifully, touched his stomach, swallowed, and said, "I haven't eaten in a long time, please give me some first.
Is the food good?"
After hearing this, Ling Tongyu's heart that had calmed down was ignited again. She threw her bag at him angrily. She cried angrily: "You, why are you like this? Why do you still have the face to face me?
Say this, you took our one million and left without saying a word. You don’t care whether Xiaoxi and I live or die. If you have the ability to be so cruel, you can live a better life if you have the ability. Why do you want to let Xiaoxi live or die again?
I see you like this, why?!"
One million? Han Jifeng on the side heard this, and her heart sank. Was it the one million he gave her? Was it taken away by her father?
"Xiaoyu...Xiaoyu..." Ling Yunming held her hand with both hands and begged, "Xiaoyu, buy me some food first and then you can scold me. I haven't eaten in three days and I'm starving to death."
."
"It's best for you to starve to death!" Ling Tongyu shook his hand away hard, wiped away his tears, and said angrily.
"Xiao Yu... I'm really hungry." Ling Yunming just didn't let go. He knew this daughter's weakness, which was her soft heart.
Sure enough, seeing him looking so pitiful, Ling Tongyu sighed and said, "You get up first."
When Ling Yunming heard this, he immediately stood up from the ground and looked at his daughter with a shy old face and a smile.
*
"Ouch..."
In the small restaurant, Ling Tongyu stared at his father who was devouring food in front of him, and was so angry that he wiped away tears. Han Jifeng and Xiaoxi sat a little further away and watched. Han Jifeng's face was always cold, looking into Ling Yunming's eyes.
It exudes an aura of danger.
"Xiaoxi, your mother is not your grandfather's biological child?" he asked Xiaoxi who was crying and sad alone. Only then did he realize that Ling Tongyu turned out to be an orphan.
"Yeah." Xiaoxi nodded and wiped away her tears, "Mom doesn't know who her parents are. She has been living with her grandpa and aunt."
"What do your grandpa and aunt do on a daily basis?"
"Grandpa likes to gamble and drink, and my mother has been helping him pay off his debts. My aunt is a model, but she always has no work. My mother often gives her money to buy things. My mother used to do several jobs at the same time." Xiaoxi said about her mother's hard work,
The distressed tears flowed down again.
Han Jifeng glanced at Ling Tongyu with deep eyes——
Ling Yunming finished two bowls of beef noodles, three more steamed buns, and drank a bottle of beer. Finally, he touched his round belly and dropped his chopsticks.
"Xiaoyu, thank you for letting me have a full meal." He still dared not look into his daughter's eyes. "I didn't gamble. Really, I really didn't gamble this time. If you don't believe me, ask Uncle Ahao."
They, I took the money this time to do some business, so I can save it later
Let's look at people's faces and work for others. When I arrived in Macau with that group of people, I was deceived and almost sold out. I finally escaped, but I really have no shame in going to see you.
I have no choice but to pick up trash every day during the day and sleep under the overpass at night..."
Ling Yunming lowered his head, and when he talked about what he had experienced these days, his voice was choked with sobs, "This is really not a life for human beings. I swear that I will live a down-to-earth life in the future and never mess around again. I am already old."
As he spoke, he sighed deeply. Unknowingly, this man who was addicted to gambling had gray hair and his face was covered with the vicissitudes of time.
