When Wang Xiaoping returned home from evening self-study, she was a little puzzled because her mother, who always loved playing mahjong, didn't go out. Instead, she sat on the sofa watching TV. Even her father was sitting in the living room, as if waiting for her to get out of school. Liang Jianlan saw her daughter finally return and waved, "Xiaoping, come and sit for a while. Why are you home so late today? I've been waiting for you here for a long time."
Wang Xiaoping walked over slowly and asked, "What's the matter with you waiting for me today?"
Liang Jianlan didn't take her cold tone to heart and said, "It's not me who wants to talk to you about something, it's your dad who wants to discuss something with you."
At this time, Wang Haobing spoke, "Xiao Ping, tomorrow is your aunt's birthday. It happens to be Saturday and you don't have classes. I plan to go with my family to celebrate your aunt's birthday. Is that okay with you?"
Wang Xiaoping looked puzzled. In previous years, Ming Huixin had always gone to her birthday party with her mother, but her father had never been. Why was he planning this this year? "I don't have any problem with it, but Grandpa called a few days ago and told us not to visit. I'm afraid we'll be kicked out if we go."
Wang Haobing was embarrassed after hearing this, "That's why we have to go. When the time comes, you can apologize to the old man, make him happy, and then apologize to Liang Yiyi. Can he really kick us out then?
"What, you want me to apologize? Do you want to make grandpa happy? Do you want to apologize to Liang Yiyi? What kind of apology am I making? What did I do wrong that I should apologize for? Dad, you don't have a fever, do you? Or is there something wrong with my ears?" Wang Xiaoping asked in disbelief.
"What did you do wrong? Don't you know what you did? If you didn't want to trip the nanny and let Liang Yiyi get burned, your grandfather would have called and scolded our family. How dare you say you are not wrong? You are not wrong, is it my fault?" Wang Haobing slammed the coffee table with his palm and asked sternly.
"When did I want to burn Liang Yiyi? It was the nanny's own carelessness. She framed me. What does it have to do with me? I..." Before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by Wang Haobing.
"Stop, stop, do you believe what you said? Are you still planning to deceive me here? As your father, how could I not know what kind of person you are? I said, you go and apologize to your grandfather and Liang Yiyi tomorrow if you don't want to be kicked out of this house and sleep on the street." After saying this, Wang Haobing turned around and went back to the bedroom.
"Mom, what does my dad mean by this? What do you mean he doesn't want to be kicked out? How could we be kicked out?" Wang Xiaoping pulled Liang Jianlan's hand and asked anxiously.
Liang Jianlan sighed, "It's not surprising that you don't know what's going on at home, since you're always out early and back late. Your dad has been suspended for investigation. He thinks it might be because of what you did at your uncle's house that day that angered your grandfather, so he ordered someone to investigate your father. That's why your father asked you to apologize to your grandfather and his family. Otherwise, if they really investigate, your dad will most likely lose his job."
"How could this happen? Grandpa is so cruel. How could he do this to us? Liang Yiyi must have said nonsense in front of Grandpa, which is why he is so angry. It's all her fault." Xiaoping cursed with gritted teeth.
"Xiao Ping, just listen to your father and go over there tomorrow and admit your mistakes. Otherwise, if he's really fired, you won't be able to live like this in the future." Liang Jianlan stood up and said, "Even for your own sake, you have to bow your head. Think about it carefully!"
Liang Jianlan also went to rest, and only Wang Xiaoping was left in the living room. Thinking about having to apologize tomorrow, she cursed Hou Jie in her heart and said that she would kill Liang Yiyi to avenge herself. As a result, Liang Yiyi was fine after only a few days in the hospital. He was simply a waste. If Liang Yiyi had died last time, there would not be so many things now. It's a pity that he can't be found now, and no one knows where he went.
In fact, if Wang Xiaoping hadn't been forced by Wang Haobing to go to the Liang family to apologize, Wang Xiaoping would have had a good impression of Hou Jie. Their acquaintance was actually quite accidental. A few days after the New Year, school had just started. Wang Xiaoping woke up late and missed the bus. She was about to be late when Hou Jie, who was riding a motorcycle, spotted her and offered to take her to school. Wang Xiaoping was anxious at the time and didn't think twice before getting on Hou Jie's motorcycle. She arrived at school just before class started. She said she wanted to thank Hou Jie, but it was just a polite remark. Unexpectedly, Hou Jie said, "Then give me your phone number. How else can I contact you?" Wang Xiaoping had no choice but to exchange phone numbers with Hou Jie.
As a result, three or four days after this incident, Wang Xiaoping received a call from Hou Jie, asking him to go out and play together. Wang Xiaoping said that she had to study and did not plan to go. Hou Jie said, "It is easy to get tired if you study all the time. You should relax yourself. Besides, I promise to send you home before nine o'clock in the evening." Wang Xiaoping thought that this man did not look like a bad person anyway, and going early would save him from bothering her again. So the two of them met that weekend night. Hou Jie behaved very gentlemanly in front of her and was generous with money. Wang Xiaoping's opinion of him also changed. Later, the two of them became familiar with each other.
Once, Wang Xiaoping and Hou Jie had a few drinks in a bar, and they talked about Liang Yiyi. She swapped her and Liang Yiyi's identities, describing Liang Yiyi as a wicked villain and herself as a bullied white lotus. She also said that it would be great if someone could help her teach Liang Yiyi a lesson, so that she would not stir up discord in front of her grandfather and affect the relationship between her family and her grandfather. As a result, Hou Jie was indignant when he heard this in front of Wang Xiaoping, "How can such a person be taught a lesson and be done with it? Only by making her never appear in front of you again can you be safe." Wang Xiaoping said, "She is my cousin after all. It's not good to be too harsh, is it?" Hou Jie said, "Don't worry, this matter will never involve you. You just need to tell me where she appeared. I guarantee that no one will suspect you."
At that time, Wang Xiaoping was indeed hesitant, because she knew that Hou Jie could not tell the real meaning of Liang Yiyi's appearance in front of her, but when she thought of the old man's attitude towards her, she hardened her heart and told Hou Jie that Liang Yiyi was going to celebrate a friend's birthday, which led to what happened later.
