Lu Zhixing thought about what Xie Yunshu said. He knew that she was always tough on the outside but soft on the inside. Although Xinyue had suffered so much harm because of him, she did not vent her anger on the child. How much better would it have been if he had not chosen to have a child with her early on because of his career?
Regretted more than once, Lu Zhixing held Xiaowei's hand and walked out.
Lu Xueting was so angry at her brother's attitude that she had no desire to eat it. "What's so good about Xie Yunshu? Sister Xinyue is pitiful. The children she raised are all ungrateful. I questioned her so many times, but Xiaowei refused to say a word. He was corrupted after being with Xie Yunshu for a while!"
Lu Jianshe turned around and went to the study. Cheng Yuxiang really didn't want to explain to her daughter about Zhou Xinyue's child abuse. After all, what she was concerned about from the beginning was not Xiaowei being abused, but what Zhou Xinyue did that implicated the Lu family.
The dining table was empty in a blink of an eye. Xiaowei's bowl of rice was still half full. No one cared whether he had eaten enough that night. Even Lu Zhixing was immersed in his own emotions and did not notice.
On the way back, Lu Zhixing suddenly remembered to ask him: "Xiaowei, then why did you think of looking for Yunshu?"
Xiaowei seldom spoke, and sometimes Lu Zhixing thought he couldn't speak, but this time Xiaowei said two words: "Mom."
Lu Zhixing's face darkened slightly: "Your mother beat you so much, and you still think about her?"
Xiaowei shook his head: "Not mom."
Lu Zhixing didn't understand what he meant, so he put Xiaowei on the back of his bicycle and rode towards the tube building without realizing it. Although she didn't want to see him, he wanted to see her.
But he was really afraid of Xie Yunshu's disdainful look towards him, so Lu Zhixing just parked his bicycle outside the alley and looked at the dim street lights of the tube building from a distance.
Lu Zhixing stood there like a statue, with the ring Xie Yunshu gave him on his finger. When they first got married, he thought it was troublesome to wear it because he had to take it off when he had surgery. But now he wears it all the time, and he realized that it is not a big deal to just take it off his finger and put it away.
But he didn't notice that when Xiaowei, who was sitting in the back seat, saw the tube-shaped building, his eyes lit up. He jumped off the bicycle and ran inside.
Lu Zhixing frowned and shouted, "Xiaowei! Where are you going?"
He was about to chase her, but stopped. Xiaowei seemed to like Yunshu very much, and Yunshu would be soft towards him. So could he use Xiaowei to meet her and have a casual conversation with her?
Taking advantage of a child might be a bit despicable, but Lu Zhixing couldn't help thinking so.
Xie Yunshu had just finished her meal. She was reading a book under the desk lamp. She had already taught herself the basic theories of architecture and was now turning to world architectural design cases. The book was very thick and contained a lot of fascinating knowledge.
Xie Mingcheng was also studying. Although he was confident as the college entrance examination approached, he was even more stressed. He wrote numbers and symbols densely on both sides of a piece of draft paper. The test papers and exercises of 1986 were also very precious. Not only were there few channels to buy them, but they were also more expensive. In order to implement the strategy of "sea of questions", he copied many questions from his teacher with his own hands.
The brother and sister were both studying, and Li Fenlan was not idle either. She took a job knitting sweaters, and was paid two yuan for each finished sweater. Although it took several pieces to knit a sweater, she worked very hard. Xie Yunshu refused to listen to her and just let her do it.
She knew her mother was just trying to lighten her burden as much as she could, and if work could bring her psychological comfort, then it couldn't be considered hard work.
There was a knock on the door. Li Fenlan put down her sweater and said, "Is it Cuiping? She asked me to say something good for her yesterday. She said she wanted to watch TV in the evening."
Xie Yunshu didn't raise his head: "No, Mingcheng has to study tonight."
Li Fenlan was speechless, and then hurriedly asked the child outside to come in: "Oh! Why did this child come here? Did he get beaten or starved?"
Xiao Wei shook his head, took out a candy from the bag and put it in Li Fenlan's hand: "Here you go."
He still remembered that when he left Li Fenlan's house, there was a candy in his bag. This candy was given to Xiaowei by Cheng Yuxiang as a face-saving measure when someone went to Lu Jianshe's house to pay New Year's greetings on the first day of the new year.
He kept a piece of White Rabbit milk candy for a whole week, and when he took it out, the candy wrapper had changed color.
Xie Yunshu paused for a moment, and with a cold face, she pulled Xiaowei over. Seeing that he was still wearing the old cotton-padded jacket that Lin Xiaohu had worn when he was sent to the police station, she knew that the Lu family didn't treat him very well.
"Did you get beaten?" Xie Yunshu asked, unbuttoning a few buttons on his body. He breathed a sigh of relief when he found no new injuries. He frowned and asked him, "Are you hungry? Didn't they give you enough food?"
Xiao Wei shook his head. He was already doing well in the Lu family. At least the woman was not around, which was a good life for him. As for care and warmth, he had never enjoyed them, so he had no object to compare his desires to.
Xie Yunshu sighed. This was Zhou Xinyue's child. She really didn't want to be soft on him, but Xiaowei was too easy for normal people to get hurt. Lu Zhixing kept saying that Zhou Xinyue and her son were pitiful, and that Xiaowei was the most pitiful because he was always injured and sick.
But he gave all the care to Zhou Xinyue. To Zhou Xinyue, Xiaowei was just a tool for her to win favor, while to Lu Zhixing, Xiaowei was just a pretext for him to enjoy the ambiguity with Zhou Xinyue openly.
Li Fenlan stroked Xiaowei's hair and turned on the stove to boil some water: "Be good, I'll make you some noodles, and there's a little broth to go with it."
It's obvious that this child hasn't had enough to eat...
Lu Zhixing stood alone outside the tube building. He was a little nervous and adjusted his hair and collar. He came to find the child. Yun Shu would definitely not chase him away again, right? Could he say sorry to her and beg her to wait for him?
When he married Yunshu, he didn't like coming here because it was dark and damp, everyone had a vulgar and mercenary look on their faces, and everyone had to smile flatteringly when they saw him. But now, he really wanted to go in and sit in that room without sunlight, and have a home-cooked meal with Yunshu face to face.
While he was still hesitating at the door, someone behind him said in a cold voice: "Please make way."
The voice seemed familiar. Lu Zhixing turned around in surprise, only to see the man who had stood next to Xie Yunshu when he was at the court gate and already at the police station, Shen Subai.
Chen Subai naturally didn't know that Lu Zhixing would be here. He came here for a special reason. There was gasoline and oil in the motorcycle tricycle. It was too cold at night in winter, so he had to cover it with something warm, otherwise it would be difficult to start the engine tomorrow. He forgot to tell Xie Yunshu about this before he left, so he could only come here to remind her.
But now it seems that he should come...
