"Zhong Ping." Meng Shuheng said in a low voice, as if a trace of displeasure flashed across his eyes when his wife mentioned his younger sister.
After scolding his wife, Meng Shuheng nodded gently to Meng Qidi and looked at the old man, "Dad is in good spirits today."
Meng Side didn't even look at his son, "Why are you back so early? Don't scare the child with your stern face. If Xiaoqi hadn't been so stubborn, I would have died a long time ago with my bad temper."
"Grandpa Meng, you're too polite." Meng Qidi retracted her gaze. She noticed the strangeness in the couple's eyes. If they had told her that there was no problem earlier, she would not have believed it even if she was beaten to death.
In the following time, Meng Qidi really acted like a guest at the Meng family and did not cross the line by talking about the Meng family's taboos.
After coming out of the Meng family, Meng Qidi lowered her eyes slightly. Today was not a complete failure. She successfully met the four young masters of the Meng family and also learned about the abnormality of Meng Shuheng and his wife.
It is difficult for her to investigate this matter, so she has to look for her stepfather.
But she didn't want him to know about this.
A bicycle was coming towards them. Ling Xiao raised his hand and pulled Meng Qidi to the right. "I think there's something wrong with Meng Shuheng and Zhong Ping."
Meng Qidi was slightly stunned and turned to look at him, "Did you figure it out?"
Ling Xiao nodded, "You can't even see this, how can I be worthy of my expertise?"
"Wow, look how good you are. Tell me, what new discoveries have Captain Ling made?"
Ling Xiao raised his hand and put it on her shoulder. "Don't tell me. It won't do any good if you tell me. Just figure it out yourself."
Meng Qidi pinched his waist angrily and said, "Thinking about your sister, will you tell me?"
Ling Xiao held his hand on his waist, full of helplessness, "Hiss, too cruel, I am the only one who lets you do whatever you want, and you don't even know how to be gentle, and you're not worried about it when I hurt you?"
Meng Qidi rolled her eyes at him and grabbed the corner of his clothes, "Stop talking nonsense. Tell me quickly, what else did you find?"
Ling Xiao leaned close to her ear helplessly, "Didn't you notice that Meng Shuheng didn't want to mention your mother? It seems that he is afraid of making the old man feel uncomfortable, but there is another possibility..."
"Is he feeling guilty? Or is he feeling guilty? Or..."
Ling Xiao shook his head. "That's hard to say. It depends on what happened back then. Is this a matter that needs to be investigated?"
"Can you do it?" Meng Qidi looked at Ling Xiao. Of course she wanted to find out who was trying to kill her...
If nothing had happened to her mother, would she not have had such a miserable life...
It is very likely that she will be a little princess who is loved by others, maybe...
At least I won't die miserably like in my previous life...
"What do you think?" Ling Xiao pinched her shoulder unhappily. Can a man say no?
He walked forward with Meng Qidi, "Why are you in such a hurry? Your appearance today has probably alerted these two people. We just need to wait for their actions."
"Guess?"
"It's a guess. According to psychology, they will definitely be restless. There has been no news for more than ten years, and you suddenly appear. Even if they don't think you are the child from that year, they will probably be worried about what to do if the child from that year comes back?"
"So what you said means that you believe that the two of them are the ones from that year..."
Ling Xiao touched her forehead unhappily, "Let me give you an analogy. If it were them, they would definitely do this. Tell me, what do you want to eat tonight?"
"You cook?"
"Okay, I'll cook. Have you decided what to eat?" Ling Xiao was in a good mood. It was rare that there weren't so many extra people today.
"Let's go to the vegetable market and buy all the delicious food." Meng Qidi put aside all the messy things and said with a smile.
As soon as the two of them left the Meng family, Meng Shuheng and his wife came out with sullen faces.
"Shuheng, what happened back then..." Zhong Ping raised her hand to hold her husband who was about to get into the car, her hands trembling slightly.
Meng Shuheng's voice sank slightly, "Let's talk about it when we get back."
Zhong Ping calmed herself down, looked around, and forced herself to calm down before getting into the car.
The Meng family does not live in the old house. Only the old man and a few servants are in the house, and occasionally the grandchildren will stay overnight.
Everyone dispersed, and Meng Sidu waved his hand listlessly, "Go and have a rest, no need to watch over me."
Having said that, he slowly stood up and walked towards the study, closed the door, and did not come out again until dark.
Here, Meng Shuheng and his wife arrived home.
"Shuheng." Zhong Ping hurriedly called out to her husband who was about to go back to the house, "You said that girl today was... Meiling's child?"
"No, why are you panicking? You were the one who buried the child with your own hands." Meng Shuheng glanced at his wife coldly.
After getting her husband's affirmation, Zhong Ping calmed down. She looked around the house and saw that her sons had not returned yet. She lowered her voice and said, "Shuheng, then...then our previous plan..."
Meng Shuheng lowered his eyes, "It has to be early."
Glancing at his wife, he walked back to the house and sneered, "Why are you panicking? She's just a little girl. Even if she has a relationship with me, so what? You didn't treat me like this back then..."
Zhong Ping's face changed slightly, and her breathing became a little rapid, "Meng Shuheng, you..."
Meng Shuheng turned his head coldly. Zhong Ping met his cold eyes and dared not say a word...
Family building.
"Hey, it smells so good. Oh, Ling Xiao is great. He actually cooked. Is this a rare trip for him to come back?"
Zhao Dezhong appeared at the stairs with his hands behind his back and saw Ling Xiao coming over to him while cooking.
Ling Xiao glanced at him and then looked away, "Aren't you not coming back for dinner today?"
"I'm at home, what's wrong with coming back to eat?" Zhao Dezhong put his hands behind his back and looked at the pot. He was very satisfied with the food inside. "Where's Xiaoqi?"
"In the vegetable garden downstairs."
"This girl really likes to play with those things." Looking at the pot again, the old man swallowed his saliva and said, "Hurry up, I have to go back to school in the evening."
Ling Xiao paused while cooking, "Xiao Qi is going too?"
The old man secretly took a bite of the food and snorted, "What do you think? Aren't you back now? I won't embarrass you. I'll leave my wife to you."
Ling Xiao laughed, "Then should I still thank you?"
"Oh, yes, seriously, hurry up, I have to go back to school later, I'll go find some information first. By the way, do you remember where you put Xiaoqi's report?"
"It's right on the table. Didn't you say you didn't remember it? Why are you taking it?"
"Don't say anymore. The higher-ups want to look at it. It's really annoying me. The approval is stuck at this last stage." The old man quickly entered the house.
"Then I wish you all the best." Ling Xiao said helplessly.
Meng Qidi came back from downstairs with a bunch of vegetables, but Zhao Dezhong had already left.
Meng Qidi put the washed vegetables in the basket and glanced at the dishes on the table. "Teacher, have you eaten yet?"
"Well, he ate and left, and took the information on your desk, saying he was going to take it for review."
"What?" Meng Qidi twitched her lips, "The one on my desk?"
"Is there a problem with that?" Ling Xiao turned his head suspiciously, "I saw the report written on it."
Meng Qidi slapped her forehead and said, "Wrong, that's not it. That was just a random memory of the situation in the vegetable garden downstairs..."
Ling Xiao twitched his lips, "What should we do now?"
"Let's eat first. I'll send it over tomorrow. I still have to go for the review. It's no use for him to be anxious." Meng Qidi was no longer panicked.
