Sophie bit her lips tightly. Although Zhao Dong agreed happily, she didn't know why, but she just had an indescribable feeling.
Ever since I learned about this this morning, until now.
Zhao Dong's behavior was not abnormal at all, and he agreed to all her requests.
Of course, for Sophie, this is a good thing!
But for some reason, Sophie still felt flustered. Everything was going too smoothly.
In other words, Zhao Dong behaved too much, leaving her feeling at a loss and not knowing where to focus her efforts.
She wanted to ask something, but now that Zhao Dong had promised, she couldn't ask further.
Especially Tang Rou's previous reminder added a bit of gloom to this premonition!
After briefly eating and tidying up the room, the two of them went out.
Sophie first followed Zhao Dong to the hospital and visited Qin Bin.
By the time we returned to Zhao's house, it was already past five o'clock.
Especially in the past few days, the sky seems to be leaking and it rains non-stop.
Before sunset, it was already half dark.
Because they said hello in advance, when the two of them returned home, the sister-in-law had already prepared the meal.
During the meal, the whole family, including Xie Shan, sat down together.
Because he was going out for a few days, Zhao Dong didn't hide anything and told his family everything about Xie Shan's parents.
So except Zhao Xiaoman and Xie Shan, everyone at the dinner table knew what was going on.
The sister-in-law picked up the rice bowl and filled a large bowl for Xie Shan, "Xie Shan, eat more today. Look at you, you have lost weight in the past two days!"
Xie Shan was extra well-behaved today for some reason, "Auntie, I..."
The sister-in-law had a straight face and said, "Call Godmother!"
"Xie Shan, I can tell you that my godmother likes you, and I recognize you as my goddaughter."
"Unless you dislike your godmother, otherwise you are not allowed to be polite to your godmother!"
Xie Shan smiled and said, "I don't dislike you. I really like the Zhao family and you."
"only……"
The sister-in-law looked at Zhao Dong and then asked: "Just what?"
Xie Shan lowered her head and said with a slight sense of inferiority: "It's just that my brother's affairs haven't been found out yet, and now everyone is looking for him."
"In the past two days, I have caused so many troubles for my family."
"Not only you and uncle, but also Grandma Zhao and Xiaoman... I'm afraid I'll be involved..."
Seeing that Xie Shan was in a bad mood, Sophie immediately held Xie Shan in her arms, patted her shoulder gently and said: "Shanshan, the reason why all of us protect you is because we regard you as a human being.
It’s a family.”
"Since we are a family, then this is your home and this is your safe haven!"
"Not only your godmother, but everyone in our Zhao family is your family!"
Zhao Xiaoman also said: "Yes, there is me too!"
The eldest sister-in-law spoke softly, "Shanshan, the eldest sister-in-law is just a womanly person and won't say anything else."
"I only know that no matter how your brother's matter is resolved, he is him and you are you."
"You are a good boy and your godmother likes you!"
Xie Shan's eyes turned red, she opened her mouth, but stopped talking.
Sophie tapped Xie Shan on the shoulder and gave her a signal.
Xie Shan stood up, then plucked up the courage to throw herself into the arms of her sister-in-law, crying: "Godmother..."
Affected by Xie Shan's emotions, the sister-in-law's eyes instantly turned red, "Good boy, my godmother is here, don't cry!"
Zhao Xiaoman breathed a sigh of relief, "That's great, Xie Shan. With you in the future, my mother will no longer have to stare at me all day!"
The sister-in-law picked up the chopsticks and hit it, "You brat, I bet you had this idea!"
With Zhao Xiaoman making jokes, the atmosphere at home finally returned to normal.
After dinner, my sister-in-law got up and went to clear away the dishes.
Sophie also found a reason and took Xie Shan back to the room. They chatted for a few words first, and then got down to the topic: "Shanshan, although you are not an adult yet, you are not a child anymore."
"I want to tell you something, you have to be mentally prepared."
Xie Shan lowered her head and said, "Sister Xiaofei, is there something wrong with my family?"
Sophie was surprised by Xie Shan's intelligence, "Well, something happened."
Xie Shan bit her lip, "My brother, or my parents?"
Sophie grabbed Xie Shan's hand and said, "Your parents."
Xie Shan gradually clenched her teeth. Under the exertion, the blood on her lips was almost gone, "The person...is gone?"
Sophie didn't know how to speak, so she could only nodded lightly.
Xie Shan lowered her head, her mood was calm, she didn't cry or shout, but there was just a hint of paleness on her face.
Sophie held her back and said, "Shanshan, cry when you feel uncomfortable. You and I, we are all your family!"
Xie Shan shook her head, "Sister Xiaofei, I'm fine."
"Actually, when I came out from home, my brother told me that no matter what happens, he will make me strong."
"He wouldn't let me cry, saying bad guys would laugh!"
Sophie felt even more distressed. What had a child of her age endured at an age she shouldn't have to endure?
For some reason, Sophie suddenly remembered her childhood, hugged Xie Shan tightly in her arms, and her tone became more somber, "Shanshan, cry if you want, no one will laugh at you, no one..."
Outside the corridor, the two brothers stood side by side.
The eldest brother smoked and said: "Xiaodong, if you go to Tiandu this time, I won't ask you anything else."
"Just one sentence, when something happens, think more about home, our mother, and Xiao Fei."
"As long as you feel worthy of our family, you don't have to worry about the rest. We have a big brother at home!"
"Don't worry about your business, big brother is waiting for you and Xiaofei to come back safely!"
Zhao Dong nodded, "Brother, thank you!"
At this moment, Xie Shan's hysterical cry came to my ears!
The voice is miserable and heartbreaking!
The sister-in-law took off her apron and ran over immediately.
Zhao Dong took the cigarette butt from his mouth and stubbed it out with his fingertips. He didn't seem to feel any pain!
Half an hour later, everything was packed away.
The whole family sent Xie Shan downstairs. Before getting in the car, the sister-in-law almost burst into tears and said, "Shanshan, come back soon, my godmother is waiting for you at home!"
It wasn't until the car was gone that the sister-in-law snuggled into her elder brother's arms and said, "Xie Shan, this child is so pitiful. My brother's matter has not been resolved yet, and my family..."
"By the way, Zhao Da, do you feel that something is wrong with Xiaodong tonight?"
The eldest brother was confused, "Is there any?"
The sister-in-law shook her head and said, "Maybe it's my misunderstanding."
On the other side, Zhao Dong was driving, and Xie Shan and Sophie were sitting in the back seat of the car.
The car did not leave Tianzhou, but shuttled through the city for a while, and finally drove into the Cathay Pacific Company compound!
Within the courtyard.
More than a dozen black commercial vehicles were parked in a line in the courtyard, all with their engines turned on and their double flashers on.
Under the rain, it looks like a long black dragon lying down, ready to jump out of the abyss at any time!
