Chapter 25 Chapter 25 Xin Mihe stepped on...
Xin Mihe had stepped on a big bomb and didn't know what to say. But his matter was urgent and he couldn't just wait for Lu Yanlin to be in a better mood.
He was still sighing on the way back. Logically speaking, it would be difficult to find anyone like Lu Yanlin. What's the point of a Jin Man? If you like a gentle style, just spend money to buy it.
But no matter how angry he was, he didn't dare say anything more when he saw his brother's expression.
They are all sick.
If you really love someone, take good care of them and don’t force them to leave. If they die, send them to the ICU.
He smiled to himself, trying to find the best in himself. Just then, Mrs. Xin called him. He hadn't recovered when she picked up the phone yet. The old lady was very smart. After a few inquiries, she knew that something had happened to Lu Yanlin, and it was probably related to Jin Man.
Xin Mihe almost knelt down to his mother: "I haven't said anything yet."
Mrs. Xin hit the nail on the head: "What's the matter that requires you to keep your mouth shut? Could it be that they're divorced?"
Xin Mihe was hit hard and paused for a moment without reacting. Mrs. Xin saw his reaction and guessed almost exactly what was going on. She was very happy. Yan Qiong's thoughts were obvious. She was hoping that the two of them would break up.
Xin Mihe hurriedly warned: "Mom, don't do anything rash."
Mrs. Xin agreed verbally and went to find Yan Qiong after picking up the phone. Yan Qiong was stunned at first. She hadn't even used any tricks yet, but Jin Man gave up the competition on his own. She felt a little uncomfortable.
The day before yesterday, Yan Qiong looked at the things Jin Man sent over. They were very detailed and not just random purchases.
That kid isn't a bad person.
So she is a bit complicated now. Maybe people tend to think more when they get older. When they were young, they were decisive and made enough money, so they started to care about spiritual things.
She couldn't sleep in the middle of the night, her throat dry, so she drank some water. There wasn't even anyone around to talk to. She always felt that Lu Yanlin was too self-disciplined, but in fact, he lived a better life, consciously or unconsciously, and didn't follow her path.
If you indulge yourself too much, it will no longer be new.
While the two people were talking, they didn't notice that there was a little kid holding a whale backpack, squatting there and listening for a long time.
In the middle of the night, Aunt Yu found that there was no one in Lu Zhi's room. She thought he came out to drink water, but she searched the room up and down and didn't see anyone. She was so scared that her legs went weak.
She quickly called Yan Qiong, and everyone in the house was in chaos, looking for the child everywhere in the house and yard.
After checking the surveillance footage, we found that at around 11 o'clock in the evening, Lu Zhi slipped out from the back door with his schoolbag on his back. His height was just enough to reach the door lock.
"What did he run out for?"
Yan Qiong was anxious and quickly asked someone to find the child. She checked the location of the child's watch and found that the child had been moving towards Lu Mansion. More than an hour had passed and the child had already walked 3 kilometers.
It’s so dark, if you encounter any danger, it will really scare you to death.
Yan Qiong drove to look for him herself and found him on the empty street. He was pale and had not worn any thick clothes. He was frozen all over by the cold wind in the first half of the night. He ran away when he saw the headlights.
Unfortunately, he was in poor health and was caught after only a few steps.
Yan Qiong was wearing slippers and had disheveled hair. She was so angry that she almost died. However, she couldn't act like a chairman when facing a little child. She was frightened for half the night and had no place to vent her anger. It was only after more than 20 years that she realized that raising a child was not an easy task.
Thinking back to the past, Lu Yanlin wasn't that troublesome at all. Even when she and his father had a huge fight in front of him, he could still eat, practice the piano, and use the debris on the floor as building blocks without changing his expression.
Lu Zhi had never experienced this kind of thing before, and his ability to withstand stress was very weak.
He was shaking all over. Aunt Yu wanted to take his schoolbag, but he refused. When he saw that she was about to carry him into the car, he didn't want to do it. He cried anxiously: "Grandma, I want to go home. I want to find my dad."
"I won't trouble you... I can go by myself."
A five-year-old child runs three kilometers in an hour. His legs are not even as long as the Doberman at home. How much perseverance does he have?
Yan Qiong looked at his red eyes, which were swollen like two peaches. No matter how she looked at him, it looked like he was scared and crying all the way. He still didn't know how to repent and was determined to go back no matter what.
"Do you know something?"
Lu Zhi didn't say anything, but his mood was obviously not right. How could Yan Qiong not understand that?
She took several deep breaths. She didn't want to lie to him, but she couldn't tell the truth either. It was unrealistic for Lu Yanlin to ask him to pick up the child, so it would most likely be left to her.
"Let's talk about it when we get back."
After tossing and turning for most of the night, everyone was exhausted. The next day, Lu Zhi started to have a fever and refused to eat or talk.
He was left here, with neither of his fathers around. Because he matured early, he was hard to fool, and Yan Qiong's business talk was ineffective. His originally chubby face had become much thinner in just a few days, and his demeanor began to resemble Lu Yanlin's childhood.
There was a rift between Yan Qiong and Lu Yanlin, and she was too embarrassed to ask, so she tried to find out about Lu Yanlin from Xin Mihe in a roundabout way. Xin Mihe was really troubled because she would offend him whether she told him or not.
He objectively described the scene at that time without any superfluous words. Yan Qiong felt that this was unlikely. How could he give up everything? Was he playing hard to get or retreating three steps forward?
If everyone does business like Jinman, they will suffer huge losses.
I didn't notice it when he was there, but after he left, I realized the house was in a mess.
She thought about it and called Jin Man.
Jin Man carried his luggage into the security checkpoint alone. Xiaoji couldn't take the high-speed rail and could only be checked in as a pet. He blocked everyone related to Lu Yanlin, but he had never contacted Lu Yanlin's mother, so she slipped through the net.
He picked up the phone, and when he heard the voice, he remembered who it was and said politely, "If you have anything to say, go find Lu Yanlin."
Yan Qiong was upset by this sentence and felt angry:
"Jin Man, I know you have to respect yourself, but you have to think clearly. From the moment you entered the Lu family, you can't pick it up again. If you want to pick it up, you have to ask Yan Lin if he is willing. Come back and we can have a good talk."
What to talk about?
Jin Man had heard the most unpleasant words before, and at this moment he no longer wanted to be angry. He raised the corner of his mouth and said calmly: "Auntie, Lu Yanlin and I are divorced. Please don't call me again in the future."
After a pause, he added, "It's a little annoying."
There was the sound of a cup falling on the other end of the phone, followed by a long silence. Jin Man was confused and hung up the phone.
He originally wanted to keep the phone card, but now he thought it was better to have less trouble. When he passed by the trash can, he took out the thin card and threw it into the trash can.
The train departed from the new station and made several changes.
The mountains along the way became higher and higher, the sky became bluer and bluer, and the warm sunlight poured in through the window. His heart, which had been tightly twisted into a ball, felt a lot better.
Jin Man was lying on the small table. The canvas bag beside the table contained all his things.
He was like a man with very little strength, who relied entirely on his biological instincts to eradicate the serious illness in his body, but he was also very sad.
The carriage was shaking slightly and was unusually quiet. After a while, someone knocked lightly on Jin Man's desk. He looked up and saw a young man with a guitar on his back.
"Hello."
He was young, with a clear voice. He had a camera hanging on his chest and said cheerfully, showing off his white teeth: "This is for you."
Jin Manyi took it with great surprise and said thank you first. After the young man walked away, he lowered his head to look at the photo in his hand. It should have been taken with a Polaroid camera.
The empty carriage in the camera was layered, with a solemn and oppressive feeling. He lay on the table in the corner with one arm stretched out. The sunlight filled the seats there. He closed his eyes, looking gentle and handsome.
He stared at the photo for a while, took out his phone, took a picture, and replaced the screen of the original family of three.
Maybe it was because the photo was taken so well that he didn't feel sad.
A few hours later, the train arrived in Liuhe Town, where he grew up.
The originally bumpy dirt road has been turned into a smooth concrete road, and most of the houses have been renovated and turned into small buildings or flats. Because of the abundant water resources, there is a large lotus pond outside the village.
Time here seems to pass slower than outside. At the end of summer, the lotus flowers in the pond are still blooming, the lotus leaves are stacked layer upon layer, and the quiet and cool fragrance is everywhere.
Jin Man's mood couldn't help but improve. He walked and looked along the way. He reached out and picked a lotus leaf from the lotus pond on the side of the road and put it on his head.
The old house he once lived in was still there, though it had fallen into disrepair, and the tiles on the roof were leaking. The yard was overgrown with weeds, and in the corner, clumps of purple wild jasmine were growing beautifully, producing countless long, narrow flowers. Bean pods and morning glories tangled on the fence, and spider webs hung from the door lock.
Jin Man wiped the glass and looked inside through the window.
The furniture inside was covered in dust, but fortunately it was intact. He found a stick and patted the surrounding weeds. Sure enough, there were a few small spicy strips, hissing and crawling away in fear.
Jin Man had no time to be sad. He took out the key hidden in the crack of the door, opened the door, changed his clothes, and wanted to get some water to wipe the house.
But the old bucket he used to carry water had long since broken, so he had no choice but to knock on the door of the old man next door. The old man was old, and now he lived with his family, a very lively family. The house was a two-story villa, beautifully decorated with flowers and grass.
He was surprised for a long time when he saw Jin Man before he recognized him. Now he didn't have to fetch water. He just called his eldest son who was working in the fields and asked him to come back to install the water pipe for Jin Man.
The four or five puppies from the old man's house followed Jin Man everywhere. Jin Man looked embarrassed and nervous as he followed his elder brother to help.
The eldest brother was tall and strong. He had been doing farm work all year round. His arms and thighs were almost as thick as he could twist the wire with one hand. Jin Man was stunned by what he saw and subconsciously clapped his hands. As he clapped, his face turned red.
"Go play with the puppy."
Jin Man was stuffed with two little yellow dogs and assigned the most useless job.
Soon, fresh mountain spring water flowed through the pipes and into the sink.
Jin Man bent down to scrub the mossy sink. The brush rubbed hard on the mossy stone, making a rustling sound.
He brushed again and again until the clean spring water overflowed the sink. He looked down and saw his own blurry, smiling shadow reflected in the transparent ripples.
