Chapter 61: Means of Leaving "Clingy child."
Lin Zhun brought two gifts for Chi Liuai.
He passed Meng Yuzhi's gaze and stepped in front of Chi Liuai.
Chi Liuai's wishes were always easily fulfilled. Her threshold for getting happiness from gifts was raised by Meng Yuzhi. She opened the gift box nonchalantly and paused.
They are like two different ways of education.
Chi Liuai thought that she still loved her brother the most.
The pink item in the gift box is an e-cigarette.
Chi Liuai played with the e-cigarette and asked Lin Zhun in an incredulous tone, "Is this really for her?"
This gift made Meng Yuzhi frown slightly, but he didn't say much.
"Aren't you afraid that I'll become a bad person if I learn to smoke?" Chi Liuai asked carefully in a voice that he didn't want certain people to hear.
Lin Zhun smiled and stood in front of Chi Liuai, blocking Meng Yuzhi's sight.
"No. You've been a good kid since you were young. You're just a little curious. It's okay to have some contact with him."
Under the guidance of her brother, after taking a mouthful of it, she found the mint refreshing without any spicy taste, which was very much to Chi Liuai's liking.
She used to smoke only women's mint cigarettes.
Chi Liuai is indeed a very curious child.
She had learned to smoke a long time ago and was not addicted. After trying, she still said she couldn't learn it.
Lin Zhun returned the e-cigarette to his palm and held it. The lingering warmth from the escaping smoke made his scalp tingle. The lingering scent of the menthol cigarette lingered between his fingers, like a younger sister holding his hand and breathing softly.
After all, Lin Zhun had raised Chi Liuai, and he knew her temperament all too well. She wasn't interested in e-cigarettes, alcohol, or the random boys you'd meet at the bar. It was rebellion, defiance, and a love of defying the "no smoking" rule. Once she truly felt it, knowing it was just that, Chi Liuai would abandon it.
He walked behind Chi Liuai, and over the thin figure, he met Meng Yuzhi's eyes. The girl seemed to want to support Lin Zhun and was arrogant in front of Meng Yuzhi.
Investigating the reason why Lin Zhun was given sleeping pills that night.
Lin Zhun wiped it away calmly: "Brother drank it himself."
Chi Liuai turned to look at Lin Zhun in disbelief, wondering if Lin Zhun had agreed to the lie in order to prevent her from getting hurt in the argument with Meng Yuzhi.
Lin Zhun gave Chi Liuai a second gift.
"Liuai, do you want to see your mother?"
Chi Liuai bewilderedly asked Meng Yuzhi for confirmation, then looked at Lin Zhun and asked cautiously in a voice that both of them could hear clearly, "Can I go home to visit the graves now?"
Meng Yuzhi stopped turning his watch and said softly, "She's Liuai's biological mother."
This morning, a paternity test report from the hospital appeared on Meng Yuzhi's computer, and at the same time, a phone call was connected. The news was not good news.
The woman was kidnapped from the villa and disappeared without a trace.
Meng Yuzhi could probably guess who wrote this, and only Lin Zhun had this ability.
He did not let the bodyguards continue to track him, but only said that he would contact the government to allow him to leave and prepare a private plane at the local airport.
Since Meng Yuzhi had found this woman, he would of course let Liuai meet her. But now was not the right time. If she were a mother with better moral character, Meng Yuzhi would not do this.
Chi Liuai once asked a friend whether his eyes were like his mother's.
More than that.
The water dungeon in the underground casino was specially designed for gamblers who had given away thousands or could not pay off their debts. Meng Yuzhi stopped in front of a pool of silt mixed with a lot of filth. His custom-made high-end leather shoes were out of place here. As he walked down, the people around him were celebrating and wailing over the wins and losses of the bets. It only took a dozen seconds to make the difference between heaven and hell.
Looking into those eyes that were 90% similar to Liu'ai's.
Meng Yuzhi seemed to see that Chi Liuai would be doomed if she made even a small mistake or was a little bit negligent. It was hard to imagine that if Chi Liuai was so playful and innocent, without any bodyguards to guard her and without any backup, she would become an auction item imprisoned in a water dungeon for gamblers to watch.
That night, Meng Yuzhi paid off his gambling debts.
The next day, the woman appeared at the gambling table again.
During the confrontation, Meng Yuzhi turned his back to the woman who begged him to give her a huge sum of money to turn the tables. She was scheming and used everything in exchange for Meng Yuzhi's sympathy again.
The mist is also like this...
Until the woman learned that she had a daughter in China who was the man's wife, and cleverly raised the price.
"I remember I have a few children. If you like this type, I can let them come to see you..."
Such a mother is not suitable to meet Liuai.
Chi Liuai is a child who is easily influenced by others.
He also wanted to hire an actress with a similar appearance at a high price to replace Liu Ai's mother.
Meng Yuzhi was very dissatisfied with Lin Zhun bringing a woman who had not yet learned to play the role of a perfect mother to Chi Liuai.
It didn't matter. Meng Yuzhi held all the debts of this person in his hands. If he nodded, the woman would be relieved. He didn't need to remind an old gambler of this truth.
Meng Yuzhi and Lin Zhun accompanied Liuai out, and Chi Liuai went to prepare a gift for the meeting.
Conflicted between preciousness and affection, with the dedicated help of the two men, Chi Liuai's dilemma became a choice between Meng Yuzhi and Lin Zhun.
Chi Liuai gritted her teeth and said that they were all gifts, and she paid for them with her own pocket money.
She never had any plans, and the money she had saved for living with her brother was squandered by her without her knowing when. When Chi Liuai was slumped in the back seat of the car with the gifts in her arms, the slight bump on the road bumped Meng Yuzhi's arm.
Meng Yuzhi stopped what he was doing and patted the little girl who was rubbing against his arm.
"I understand. I will reimburse you."
Lin Zhun was in the back seat, giving Meng Yuzhi a cold snort and a cold look.
Crossing his hands and looking out the window, his arms felt a little uncomfortable and empty.
Whenever Chi Liuai felt frightened, he would look up and down, look left and right, and pretend that he was looking at the scenery.
He glanced at the closed hotel room door without any concern.
"I don't look good today. I'd better come see mom tomorrow."
Chi Liuai said this, trying to find the inappropriate side of herself, but Meng Yuzhi hugged her early in the morning and even trimmed her nails neatly, so what bad side could she have?
It has to be said that Chi Liuai's uneasy look made Meng Yuzhi feel some pity. He wanted to hold Chi Liuai and return to their home with satisfaction. From then on, even Lin Zhun would not have to exist. After all, Liuai already knew that Lin Zhun was her only insignificant relative without blood relationship in this world. This mother would not satisfy all of Liuai's fantasies and might even hurt her.
Lin Zhun did a stupid thing.
"What if she doesn't like me?"
Chi Liuai's excitement had completely faded. He tried to use his ear to get through the heavy door to hear what his mother was doing inside. Was she as nervous as he was? Was she pacing back and forth in the room, checking her appearance from time to time? Would she like his gift? Would she prepare a gift for him?
"Liu'ai, many people like you, and she will too." Lin Zhun encouraged softly.
When Meng Yuzhi's eyes met Chi Liuai's, they turned like the rippling of warm water, overflowing with care.
He also needed to say something to make Liu'ai happy.
But it has not been exported yet.
Chi Liuai's eyes curved into a suspicious arc, and her little face drooped as she looked at Meng Yuzhi.
Meng Yuzhi understood, his shoulders relaxed, and he said in a voice without any emotion, "There is no surveillance."
snort.
Chi Liuai knocked on the door in a swaggering and arrogant manner, not caring whether the person inside heard it or not. Before the extremely unlikely event that the other party refused to meet him happened, he swiped his card and entered.
Chi Liuai smelled a strong fragrance in the dim presidential suite.
The woman on the sofa had her back to her.
Chi Liuai's heart was beating violently. She didn't know what to say. Should she call her aunt, mom, mother, or mother?
The woman heard the noise and stretched out her arm from the sofa. Chi Liuai saw that she had a thin cigarette between her beautiful and slender fingertips. At the same time, she inadvertently glanced at Chi Liuai with her side jaw.
"Hey, Madam Meng."
The woman brushed her fluffy, shiny black hair to the other side, and the two of them could see each other's faces clearly.
"Hey, you're worthy of being my son."
Chi Liuai's eyes lit up, and he seemed very proud, with his chin raised a little. He rushed to the woman's side without stopping, like a lamb sticking to its mother, but was pushed away by the woman with a push of her shoulder.
She just stood a little distance away from her and let her mother see what she looked like.
"Since I was little, many people have told me that I am beautiful."
The woman snorted. “I’m tired of hearing that.”
"Yeah, thank you for making me liked by others." Chi Liuai couldn't help but move closer.
The woman clicked her tongue and thought, this child is so clingy.
"If you lose this hand, be careful I'll beat you up." At this point, the woman suddenly became interested, "Has anyone beaten you before?"
When Chi Liuai heard this, he thought of Meng Yuzhi's ruler.
She said she had been slapped on the palm of her hand by a man outside.
"How lame."
The woman was still playing a card game and held the cigarette to her lips. Perhaps because Chi Liuai was too close, she really didn't want the cigarette butt to burn this delicate girl, lest her debts become a problem, so she put out the cigarette again. As a result, Chi Liuai skillfully lit another one for her.
"Very skilled?" The woman laughed. "Aren't you afraid of being scolded by people outside?"
Chi Liuai said: "Sometimes I'm a little scared, but most of the time, he's very nice."
The woman fell silent, continuing to play cards. Chi Liuai, unable to understand, pretended to watch the game screen. The woman felt her gaze, a burning spark of light stinging her. It carefully passed through the mist, drifting around her face, intentionally or not. Even a single strand of her hair would disturb her peeping, so she quickly pretended to be busy.
Chi Liuai gradually became fascinated by the sight.
She was beautiful, or rather wild.
Her delicate skin was baked to the extreme by the direct sunlight. The yellow-brown skin was spotted and scattered around the eyes, where there were dark circles, scars, and fine wrinkles. She had suffered all the bruises of life, but the urge to pinch her cigarette and pick her eyes made her already beautiful skin surpass the marks of bruises and impact the sight of others, like a savage mountain lion.
Chi Liuai thought that if Sui Yue was willing to reply to the message, she would definitely tell Sui Yue.
Her mother's eyes are much prettier than hers.
"It's time, you can go."
The woman looked at her watch, dragged herself to the refrigerator, and opened a bottle of beer in front of Chi Liuai.
Straightforward: "Overtime will be charged."
"I don't have any money."
"You men have money, and theirs is yours."
"Where did I get those men!" Chi Liuai blushed guiltily, "We are in a normal relationship. If you keep talking nonsense, Brother Yuzhi will be angry."
The woman smiled and stopped teasing the child. She gave Chi Liuai a look of disdain.
"You are useless. You are controlled by a man like this. If you have any ability, don't even say you are my daughter when you go out."
Chi Liuai wanted to save face, but for a moment he couldn't think of anything to support himself.
In the end, he also spoke harshly to his mother, who was not kind to him: "Sure enough, they are right!"
The woman narrowed her eyes and said, "Is that so?" She walked slowly to Chi Liuai and touched her child's face with her hand. Chi Liuai was so beautiful and very likable that she couldn't help but take a few more glances at him. But she didn't like him and felt a little unhappy.
Even when Chi Liuai entered the door, he was like a quail leaving its nest, looking back every three steps.
What kind of person has her child been raised by that arrogant and cold-hearted man!
The woman hooked the necklace around Chi Liuai's neck, which contained a miniature eavesdropping device. She sneered, "Did they say bad things about me to you before you came?"
Chi Liuai was stunned. His mother came very close to him. There was tobacco and a dizzying smell.
"They just told me, 'You have a lot of children, I have brothers and sisters.'"
"I lied to them."
"Why?"
The woman took it for granted: "These two people think that they saved me from paying off my gambling debts and that I should be grateful to them? They act like saviors, and seeing those two 'this is all for your own good' expressions makes me unhappy, so I'm bored and want to stimulate myself."
"Isn't this a bit inappropriate?" Chi Liuai suddenly remembered that she usually treated Meng Yuzhi in the same way, "But, but I can understand it."
"What's wrong with that?" The woman patted Chi Liuai's shoulder. "Are you afraid of him? If you don't leave, you'll be trained like a dog and wag your tail at him?"
Chi Liuai started to make a fuss: "I'm not a puppy!"
The woman looked at Chi Liuai with a cold and disappointed expression, sizing him up and asking seriously, "No?"
"You are his most satisfied pet, child. Look at your clothes now. What's the difference between him looking for me and looking for a nanny for a puppy? And he even asked me to say to you, 'I miss you very much'"
The woman pulled the necklace and used the □□ as a microphone.
He spoke slowly to Chi Liuai at the corner of his mouth.
"Listen carefully. Your mother isn't a good person, but she's too lazy to lie to you. I smoke, drink, and gamble. I've been living in Cambodia, Thailand, and Laos for over a decade. I've done everything except what I shouldn't have. You're just the offspring of a one-night stand I had with a man back home. If your husband hadn't owed me millions in gambling debts, I wouldn't bother seeing you."
Chi Liuai asked again: "Can you tell me your name?"
"I won't leave my name. They all call me so-and-so's girl, and I won't tell you. No one will remember me, including you."
"Then, will you stay with me first? You already didn't want me once."
Chi Liuai also swore.
"I can make you live a rich life."
Chi Liuai simply viewed her family. She had money, so her brother would be by her side, and her mother would not leave her. Life would be free of the necessities of life, only sweet. She secretly seduced her mother, who had nothing, and suddenly had a very bad idea. She might even realize that only she could bring a stable life.
"Stop dreaming. No one owes you anything, and you don't owe me anything either." The woman let go of Chi Liuai's necklace. "No matter what I've become, I don't need anyone's pity. I'm at ease. I deserve it.
"A few days ago I thought I would die in the water dungeon. Who knew I would live for a few more years."
Chi Liuai panicked: "Someone is bullying you!"
The woman groaned for a long time, then smiled at Chi Liuai: "Child, haven't you realized yet? Someone is bullying you."
The car entered the highway, Chi Liuai's face turned pale.
[I was once pestered by several men, and they even tried to get me pregnant. Unfortunately, I ended up running away. I don't even want you.]
[Child, do you know how I left?]
[I said I loved him, and I became whatever he wanted me to be. After I gave birth to you, he thought I had become obedient, but it turned out the child wasn't his, and I ran away, hahahaha.]
[You know, the means of leaving.]
[Take your wiretapping chain and get out of here. Don't come looking for me again. I'm happy to pay my gambling debts myself. I don't need my child to be terrified of men. It's so embarrassing.]
"Are you feeling uncomfortable?" Meng Yuzhi touched her gently with the back of his hand, and Chi Liuai subconsciously dodged.
There was a streak of light outside the car window, dazzling Chi Liuai. She couldn't see Meng Yuzhi's face hidden in the darkness, nor did she know how long he had been staring at her.
Meng Yuzhi ordered the partition to be lowered slowly.
The interior of the car became brighter.
Chi Liuai's pale little face was just like the first time they met in the car. She was like an injured kitten that couldn't find a home and ran into someone else's arms, begging Meng Yuzhi to take her in. At that time, there was really no kindness or patience to deal with the situation. In the end, Meng Yuzhi still hugged Chi Liuai. At that moment, he thought that it was because she was too clingy.
"Daddy, can we plan the wedding a year and a half in advance? Wouldn't that be troublesome?" Chi Liuai returned to the cat bed and snuggled up to him. "I want to hold the wedding next month."
Meng Yuzhi's face was comforted by Chi Liuai's lingering scent, and he lowered his eyes.
He felt that Chi Liuai had skillfully placed her ear to the spot where his heart was beating, accurately and precisely, as if she sensed that he was looking at her. She also looked up and looked at him with eyes full of expectation. She didn't know when she had taken off the necklace from her neck.
"Clingy kid."
Meng Yuzhi gently promised: "No, but you can ask me for more trouble, and the wedding will still go on as planned."
Meanwhile, a private jet departed for Thailand.
The woman looked at the increasingly smaller scenery and dozed off into boredom.
She was holding a gift box in her hand. She brought nothing with her when she returned home except this.
The girl's sincere words once again came to mind.
"I'm sorry I was a burden to you before. I brought you a pair of shoes as a gift, but just leave them nearby. They're high heels, so don't wear them. I hope you can run faster this time, Mom. I'm fast, and I can run too."
The woman clicked her tongue and thought, what a little girl who doesn't understand what people say.
She is innocent, naive, and kind. She even wants her mother to come all the way to teach her how to abandon a man.
