Chapter 130 We Don’t Have a Daughter
"How much time do you need?" I asked.
Shen Yixiao looked solemn and thought seriously, “One month, after the show is over, I will definitely handle it, otherwise I’m afraid something will go wrong.”
It's amazing that he thought so carefully.
I didn't say anything, so he took it as my agreement and left home in a hurry.
As soon as he left, I drove to my parents' place.
I saw the van from a distance. It was parked outside my house in broad daylight, and there was obviously someone in the car.
I called the police to report someone illegally parking. The road in front of my house does not allow long-term parking, so the traffic police came quickly and asked about the situation of the van.
Driven away by the traffic police, the van finally left.
I took the opportunity to get out of the car and strode towards my villa. Looking at the already mottled iron gate, I suppressed my uneasiness and nervousness and rang the doorbell.
Unexpectedly, it was Li Qingming who ran out to open the door. When he saw me, he was very happy, "Sister, you're back! That's great!"
I felt embarrassed by his affectionate attitude, so I forced a smile and asked, "Where are mom and dad?"
"Mom is cooking and Dad is preparing lessons." Li Qingming answered as he opened the door.
After opening the door, he reached out and held my hand and walked towards home.
I looked at his little hands and felt something subtle.
When I got home, everything felt old, and it was almost the same as where I lived when I was a child. Even the air was filled with the familiar scent of grass and trees.
My nose felt sore and it felt really good to be home.
"Mingming, who is it--" My mother came out with the dishes. When she saw me, she was surprised, then very happy, and quickly put down the dishes to greet me.
"Xiaoyue, you're back, come and sit down." She pulled me to sit on the sofa.
I looked up at the stairs. My dad should be preparing lessons on the second floor. If he knew I was coming...
I’m a little afraid to think about it.
My mother was about to say something when she heard footsteps on the stairs. Her face changed and there was worry in her eyes.
"Is Zhengnan here? The one I told him about--" My father's familiar voice came, with a very calm tone.
The moment he saw me, his voice stopped abruptly, the smile on his face disappeared, and was replaced by a look of disgust and anger.
"Lao Li, our daughter is back." When my mother saw me standing up, she quickly took my hand and looked at my father with a hint of pleading.
"Where did our daughter come from? We only have one son, Li Qingming!" My father embarrassed me as soon as he opened his mouth.
My heart was in a knot and my eyes were hot.
I don't blame him, I only blame myself for being too stupid and naive at the time.
"Lao Li!" My mother raised her tone, a little anxiously.
"Dad, I came to see you today because I have something to tell you." I said awkwardly.
My father came over and stood opposite me. When I was a child, I thought he was very tall and the most powerful man in the world. Now I realize that after he got older, he is not as tall as before, and not as energetic as before.
But the sternness on his face was the same as always, "There's nothing to discuss between us, let's go!"
"Dad, Mom, we haven't lived here for many years and it's become very old. I'll give you some money and you can move out. This will be my compensation to you, okay?" I knew my dad didn't want to see me, so I got straight to the point.
My dad seemed to have heard a joke, "Who do you think you are? You want our family of three to move? Also, don't think that just because Shen Yixiao has made money and gives you some stinky money, you can come back and show off. I don't want that."
These words are really hurtful, but I can only bear it.
Looking at my father's determined look, I had an urge to tell them about Shen Yixiao and I.
Even though they will be slapped in the face, their safety is more important.
"Dad, Shen Yixiao and I--" I was about to speak when the doorbell rang again.
My dad ignored me and went to open the door.
Soon, I heard his laughter, "Zhengnan, if you are not busy, let's drink tea and play chess together. I have no opponent, but you can make me feel a little bit of urgency when I meet a worthy opponent."
"Okay, Uncle Li." Xu Zhengnan's gentle and clear voice was accompanied by a smile.
The two walked into the living room one after the other.
When he saw me, Xu Zhengnan paused and looked a little unwell.
My father noticed that he was looking at me, and said coldly, "Don't take it seriously, you uninvited guest."
My mother became more and more agitated. She raised her voice and said, "Who is the uninvited guest? This is my daughter. It's not like Zhengnan doesn't know her!"
"Mom, I'm fine." I was afraid that she and my dad would quarrel again, so I hurried to comfort her.
"We don't have a daughter!" My father got angry and said it again rudely.
My mother was furious. "No daughter? I quit my job at school and put in so much effort to raise Xiaoyue. You say I don't have a daughter, so I don't have a daughter?"
The two were about to quarrel again. Li Qingming was so scared that his face turned pale, and tears welled up in his eyes, "Dad, Mom, please stop quarreling..."
Seeing his pitiful little appearance, I felt filled with guilt.
Xu Zhengnan frowned slightly, picked up Li Qingming, and then said to my parents, "Uncle Li, Aunt Bai, if you have something to say, just talk it out. Arguing won't solve the problem, and it will scare the child."
What he said was always effective. My parents looked at Li Qingming, felt a little guilty, and shut up.
I came here to try to convince them to move, but all I ended up doing was arguing.
"Dad, Mom, I'll go first--" I prepared to go first.
The doorbell rang again.
There seem to be a lot of guests today.
My father went to open the door and came back soon, followed by a young girl. She was very pretty, dressed cleanly and simply, and was very graceful.
My dad took a look at me and immediately introduced me to Xu Zhengnan, "Zhengnan, this is Letong, Li Letong, she is a counselor in our school, and she is also your college classmate, she also graduated from HKU!"
My mother said before that my father was introducing a blind date to Xu Zhengnan and was very concerned about it.
I ran into a blind date today.
Li Letong greeted Xu Zhengnan with a smile, without any shyness, "Hello Xu Zhengnan, I'm Li Letong, nice to meet you."
As she spoke, she took the initiative to extend her hand.
Xu Zhengnan lowered his eyes and glanced at her hand, saying politely, "Hello, I'm holding the baby right now, so it's not very convenient."
He is indeed holding Li Qingming now.
Li Letong didn't mind. She took her hand back and said, "Yeah, this kid is so cute."
My dad introduced them with a smile, "Le Tong, that's my son, Li Qingming, this is my wife, her last name is Bai."
Li Letong greeted everyone one by one and was very polite.
Then her eyes fell on me, and she asked curiously, "Professor Li, who is this?"
My father also looked at me, and his face suddenly turned cold, as if I was hindering them.
