Wei Mian smiled, which Zhao Yanjun thought was a response to her, so she spoke more excitedly and told him all the anger she had suffered from her cousin and grandmother in the past few years.

My new clothes and shoes were taken away by my cousin, my grandma and mom were not getting along, and I was always bullied by my cousins when I was a child.

In short, I complained to them about everything I could think of.

The coach listened to the conversation with a smile on his face, and occasionally gave his response from a father's perspective when Zhao Yanjun asked him.

"At least your relatives are still here."

Xiao Xiao suddenly spoke.

Zhao Yanjun thought this was a bit strange. She pondered it for a moment before cautiously asking, "Xiao Xiao, is someone missing from your family?"

Xiao Xiao twitched his lips. "My grandparents passed away when I was very young. There were only my parents and I at home. But I heard from my father that my grandparents loved me very much. Later, my father died in a car accident, and only my mother and I were left at home."

When Zhao Yanjun heard this, he looked at Xiao Xiao with some sympathy.

Being in a single-parent family, with the mother raising her daughter alone, life must be very hard!

"My aunt introduced a man to my mother. I've met him a few times, and we're going to celebrate Chinese New Year together this year."

Xiao Xiao was happy for her mother who had worked so hard and finally had someone to rely on. Now that she had grown up, her mother no longer had to worry about her being wronged and could pursue her own happiness.

The uncle was also very nice to her. A few days ago, he transferred 500 yuan to her, saying that it was for her to buy clothes. They had seen each other's photos and had contacted each other on WeChat.

The two confirmed their relationship a few months ago. His mother has moved to his house for a while and said that they get along well. Xiao Xiao is also happy for his mother.

But she was not familiar with the uncle and did not want to live there. It was fine when she was in school before, but now that it was vacation time, she could only use the excuse of going to a driving school near her home to take a driving test, and then go there when the driving school was closed during the New Year.

Her father had been dead for almost six years, and Xiao Xiao couldn't help feeling awkward about suddenly having to live with a strange man, and getting along with him as a father and daughter.

Wei Mian was originally cracking melon seeds, and after hearing this, he couldn't help but look at Xiao Xiao.

Judging from her facial features, the left corner of her eyebrow was sunken and the ends of her eyebrows drooped, indicating that her father had passed away. This was confirmed by what Xiao Xiao had just said.

Wei Mian found that the tip of her nose was red, there was black air on her forehead, and there were dark spots on the corners of her mouth, which meant that Xiao Xiao's mother was not in good health and showed no signs of recovery.

What caught Wei Mian's attention was that Xiao Xiao's forehead was sunken, and there was a red line rising from her brow, forming a lump in the middle of her forehead, indicating that she would be injured at the very least, or suffer a serious disaster in the near future.

Wei Mian was curious about what was going on when he suddenly felt a numbness between his eyes and his third eye opened automatically.

This time she saw a middle-aged man wearing a cotton jacket. The cotton jacket he was wearing was the kind that people in the system liked very much, and it made him look very authoritarian.

Judging from his facial features, this man is indeed an official of medium rank.

The middle-aged man was sitting on the sofa in the living room. He was looking at something on his laptop, fascinated by it, with a strange expression on his face.

Before Wei Mian could see clearly, there was a knock on the door. The middle-aged man seemed startled. When he figured out who was at the door, a smile appeared on his face and he closed the computer.

He stood up and opened the door, and it was Xiao Xiao standing outside.

Xiao Xiao was pushing a small suitcase in her hand. When the middle-aged man saw her, he hurriedly and attentively helped push the suitcase in.

The two talked in the living room for a while. During the conversation, Xiao Xiao was rather reserved, with her eyes mostly on her toes, and she gave incoherent answers to the man's questions.

As if noticing Xiao Xiao's discomfort, the man opened a door and gestured inside with a smile on his face, as if to say that the room was prepared for Xiao Xiao.

Xiao Xiao accepted the man's kindness, pushed her suitcase back to the room, and said thank you to the man before closing the door.

The man stood at the door for a while before returning to the computer.

As if afraid of disturbing Xiao Xiao in the room, the man took a few more glances and turned off the computer directly.

Wei Mian didn't see clearly what was on it. It should be said that she didn't pay attention to it at the beginning. She just glanced at it before turning off the phone. It seemed to be a room.

The scenes of the next few days flashed by quickly. During this period, she also saw a woman who looked somewhat similar to Xiao Xiao, who should be Xiao's mother.

She looked sick and seemed to be in poor health.

The three of them lived in the same house, so they didn't have many opportunities to meet each other. However, Wei Mian saw the middle-aged man standing alone at Xiao Xiao's door several times.

I don't know if he was listening to something or wanted to knock on the door to say something.

Xiao Xiao stayed there. Although the food and accommodation were a bit awkward, when she thought about how her mother's condition had improved after her uncle and her mother got together, she felt that she should be nicer to her uncle.

A few days passed like this, and soon it was New Year's Eve.

After a few days of getting along, Xiao Xiao's relationship with the middle-aged man became much more harmonious.

Wei Mian discovered that every time Xiao Xiao went to take a shower, the man would go back to the empty room and turn on his laptop, and after a while strange noises would come from the room.

The middle-aged man's gaze towards Xiao Xiao became more and more presumptuous, which was completely different from the look a father gives his daughter. He even showed many intimate gestures.

Xiao Xiao noticed something was wrong and told her mother quietly. However, her mother didn't take it to heart. She hoped that Xiao Xiao would treat the man as her father. It was normal for a father to have some physical contact with his daughter occasionally, and she told Xiao Xiao not to think too much about it.

After being told this several times, Xiao Xiao began to doubt whether he had misunderstood.

On New Year's Eve, Xiao's mother cooked a New Year's Eve dinner. In order to celebrate the New Year, the middle-aged man took out his treasured red wine and gave it to the mother and daughter to drink.

Seeing the two of them drink a glass each, a barely perceptible excitement flashed across the man's face.

Soon, Xiao's mother was drunk and was helped by the man back to her room to sleep. Only he and Xiao Xiao were left in the dining room.

At this time, Xiao Xiao's cheeks were flushed and his eyes were hazy. He seemed to be about to fall asleep, and he was holding on with the little remaining vigilance in his heart.

However, her willpower was weak and she could not resist the drugs at all, and she soon fainted.

When the man saw Xiao Xiao who had fainted, a triumphant smile immediately appeared on his face. He didn't care about the dining table at all and picked him up and carried him to the bedroom.
