Chapter 153 The True Appearance
Zhu Xiyue carried a bag of fruit and followed this gentle and elegant uncle into the living room.
The decoration of the room is all Chinese retro style, with a strong Zen feeling.
Uncle also burned incense, and the whole room was filled with the smell of incense.
There is also the sound of flowing water, which is because he placed a Chinese-style flowing water decoration in the living room.
Zhu Xiyue blinked her eyes as she looked at this new environment which was completely new to her.
He kept looking around.
"Come, eat something."
Uncle took out some snacks from home and came to Zhu Xiyue. After a while, he took out some delicious food from home and put it in front of Zhu Xiyue.
"Uncle...enough is enough."
It was also the first time that Zhu Xiyue felt the enthusiasm of her elders, and she was suddenly at a loss.
Both of them were being polite, and at this time, Zhu Xiyue suddenly asked a question.
"Uncle, why are you alone at home? Where's aunt?"
When the uncle heard that Zhu Xiyue was looking for his wife, he paused.
He placed the things in his hands on the coffee table and sighed slightly.
"Good boy, come and say hello to your aunt."
Uncle called Zhu Xiyue to the other side of the living room.
A woman with black and white hair sat quietly in a wheelchair, looking out the window, watching silently.
Outside the window is the area at the entrance downstairs.
She had a very slender figure, and even when she was sitting in a wheelchair, she didn't hunch her back, but just sat upright.
You can still see her temperament.
From the couple's temperament and quality of life, it is not difficult to see their cultural heritage and profound knowledge.
But now, the hostess just sat there blankly, staring outside.
"Wife, there's a child who wants to say hello to you."
Uncle walked forward gently and placed his hands lightly on aunt's shoulders.
I hope she can give me some response.
But my aunt still didn't react at all, and looked out the window with lifeless eyes.
Uncle spoke a few more words patiently, but saw that aunt still ignored him.
He straightened up with a little disappointment and covered her with the blanket.
"I'm sorry, my wife is having some problems and she doesn't respond to anything from the outside world right now."
Zhu Xiyue probably knew why her aunt became like this. She nodded guiltily to show that she understood.
She now finally understood why Lu Yinghan came in person to thank her last night.
It turns out that you need to see the true appearance of things with your own eyes.
When the uncle saw Zhu Xiyue's look, he adjusted himself and smiled at Zhu Xiyue again.
"Your name is Zhu Xiyue, right?"
"Yes, uncle."
He took Zhu Xiyue to a seat and poured her a cup of tea.
"Uncle, why did you leave home?"
Ah, you still ask after all.
Zhu Xiyue felt reluctant for a moment and did not speak immediately.
Uncle realized that his question was too direct and hurried to explain.
"Don't worry, uncle won't tell anyone else. I'm just curious. In exchange, I'll tell you why auntie became like this."
Without waiting for Zhu Xiyue to be ready, the uncle slowly explained to Zhu Xiyue the whole story.
Even though Zhu Xiyue had heard Lu Yinghan talk about it, when she heard the person involved talk about it, the feeling of powerlessness and sadness directly hit her heart.
She listened to her uncle carefully.
When my uncle talked about how he and my aunt went to the scene and saw his son.
He closed his mouth tremblingly and stopped talking.
His eyes just turned red. He took off his glasses, wiped them, and took a deep breath to calm himself down.
Seeing my dearest child being tortured so cruelly in front of me.
Even after so many years.
It was still extremely painful for him.
"Uncle, are you okay?"
Zhu Xiyue was at a loss and wanted to go up and hand the uncle a napkin, but the uncle waved his hand.
"I'm sorry to have embarrassed you."
Zhu Xiyue felt a lot of emotions when she looked at such an uncle. In order for him to believe her, he was willing to open up the wounds in his heart again.
And my own parents...
He shook his head and turned away from his parents' faces.
Zhu Xiyue also spoke slowly.
Now it was the uncle's turn to frown.
After listening, Zhu Xiyue looked at his expression carefully.
This action made my uncle feel very distressed.
A good child is treated like this by his family.
If this was my own child, I wouldn’t even bother feeling any pain!
But since I was an outsider, I couldn't say anything. I could only sigh deeply to express my dissatisfaction.
"Uncle can call you Yue'er, is that okay?"
After Zhu Xiyue finished speaking, the uncle asked Zhu Xiyue in a very gentle manner.
"No, no problem!"
It was the first time Zhu Xiyue was called like that, and she was a little flattered, her face turning a little red.
"You said you are hiding at Yingying's house now and no one has noticed you. If that's the case, you can come to our place during the day so that we can take care of you.
Recently there have been news reports that cases of missing children have begun to increase in number again. It sounds like those unscrupulous human traffickers are responsible.
It’s not safe for you to be alone at home, and you don’t know if someone will sneak up to you, so it’s safer for you to come to your uncle’s place during the day. ”
Uncle was telling the truth and he sincerely invited Zhu Xiyue to his home.
The feeling of having children at home is really much better than being alone together. After chatting for a while, he already felt reluctant to leave.
Of course, you have to respect others. If she doesn't want to, don't force her.
"Will it bother you too much?"
"No! Uncle is very welcome! You can talk to Auntie, maybe she will get better slowly."
Looking at her aunt who was still motionless on the other side, Zhu Xiyue softened her heart.
"As long as you don't feel bothered, uncle, I will come!"
After getting Zhu Xiyue's promise, the uncle smiled happily.
When he is happy, he is very reserved and doesn't express his emotions as directly as other people.
"Okay! Okay! Just come! You can stay for dinner today! Uncle will cook for you!"
As he spoke, he walked briskly to the kitchen and began to take out the good ingredients from the refrigerator, preparing to make something delicious for Zhu Xiyue.
Seeing that she couldn't stop it, Zhu Xiyue was alone in the living room, not knowing what to do.
Seeing that the small blanket on her aunt's body had slipped down a little again, Zhu Xiyue walked over and gently pulled it up.
"Aunt, hello, my name is Zhu Xiyue."
Zhu Xiyue whispered in her aunt's ear, and seeing that she didn't respond, she simply sat next to her and watched out the window with her.
Occasionally I would look at my aunt to see if the blanket on her body had slipped away, and then I would pull it up and cover her up properly.
Uncle was in the kitchen looking at the two people in the living room.
I felt a mixture of relief and sadness in my heart.
If Tongtong were still here.
She will definitely be as well behaved as Yue'er.
