Chapter 5 Mistakes
"Mama Zhang, please put your mind at ease and I'll tell her." Behind her, daddy hurriedly caught up.
Zhang Ma had to stop after receiving the order. Daddy opened his hand to take her over, but she refused and hugged Zhang Ma's neck and refused to let go.
Although she was young at that time, she was still ignorant and knowledgeable. Anyway, she felt that it was not good for Daddy and Auntie Mei to be like this, so she instinctively resisted Daddy coming to hug her.
However, her strength was too weak and she couldn't break free, so she was hugged by her father.
Dou Lingxin could only use the child's trump card, open her mouth and cry loudly.
Zhang Ma, who had already retreated to the side, came up again: "Sir, please leave the lady to me."
At this time, Tang Meiran also caught up. She smiled unnaturally at Dou Lingxin, who was crying, trying to win Dou Lingxin's favor as before, but Dou Lingxin cried even louder when he saw her.
Daddy glared at Tang Meiran fiercely and returned to the office with Dou Lingxin in his arms.
Zhang's mother was about to go to the office with Dou Lingxin and her daughter when Tang Meiran stopped Zhang's mother.
"Zhang Ma, I want Zhang Ma." Dou Lingxin cried instinctively. She always felt that Tang Meiran was going to scold Zhang Ma, so she immediately had the desire to protect Zhang Ma and rescue Zhang Ma from Tang Meiran's clutches.
thoughts.
Just two days before that day, she heard Zhang's mother tell a story about an evil witch. Somehow, she equated the evil witch with Tang Meiran.
However, according to Tang Meiran's usual arrogant attitude towards her servants, it is highly likely that she would reprimand and anger Zhang Ma. Dou Ling's concern was also subconscious.
"Mama Zhang, follow us in." Dou Lingxin's cry for Ma Zhang made her father stop, then turned around and gave an order to Ma Zhang.
Seeing that her plan failed, Tang Meiran also wanted to enter the office.
Daddy's face turned dark immediately, and he yelled at Tang Meiran angrily: "Stop, get as far away from me as you can."
Dou Lingxin remembered that after hearing her father roaring at Tang Meiran, she immediately stopped crying, sobbed and lay on her father's shoulder, secretly glancing at Tang Meiran.
Now that I think about it, the change in Tang Meiran's face at that time is truly wonderful. First it turned red, then green, and finally as black as ashes on the bottom of a pot.
Daddy added: "If a situation like today happens again, don't blame me, Dou, for being rude!"
"Brother-in-law, how could you do this to me..." Tang Meiran immediately put on a tearful look, whimpering pitifully at her father.
Daddy didn't even bother to say anything to her, so he turned around and entered the office. After Zhang Ma came in, he slammed the door shut.
Later, her father made it clear to her and Zhang Ma that all this was caused by Tang Meiran. Tang Meiran came to the office to find him and said she had something to tell him. In the end, she didn't say a few words and was standing in front of the window.
Tang Meiran, who was looking outside, suddenly threw herself into his arms and shouted that she liked him.
"The result was seen by you. Zhang Ma, do you believe what I said is the truth?" After Dad finished speaking, he stared at Zhang Ma waiting for her answer.
Zhang’s mother nodded: “Sir, I watched you grow up, how could I not believe you?”
Daddy suddenly smiled: "I knew that Mother Zhang knew me."
Then he turned to Dou Lingxin and said to her: "I blame Daddy wrongly. Daddy has never done anything sorry to your mommy."
Dou Lingxin's eyes moved from her father to Zhang Ma, then from Zhang Ma to her father, and then she hummed softly.
Zhang Ma no longer blames Daddy, so naturally she won't blame Daddy either.
Thinking of this, Dou Lingxin shook her head hard, no, daddy's sweetheart would never be Tang Meiran.
Dou Lingxin took a breath, then moved her finger to the lower right corner of the notebook and turned to the next page.
A densely packed page is the diary kept by Daddy.
And the date turned out to be the day when she and her mother moved out of the old house and lived in an apartment in the city.
Her heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and she subconsciously turned over the pages. They were all diaries. To be precise, they should be irregular diaries, or essays, because the recorded dates were discontinuous, as if they were written randomly and inspired by her thoughts.
Dou Lingxin sat up involuntarily and began to read from the first diary entry.
As he read, Dou Lingxin's expression began to change, his brows went from slightly wrinkled to knotted, and his face became more and more solemn.
"Miss, miss, are you awake? Do you want to get up for dinner?" Seeing that it was getting dark, Sister Ping walked upstairs and downstairs several times before she couldn't help but knock on Dou Lingxin's door.
Dou Lingxin was stunned for a while before replying: "Sister Ping, I'm not hungry. I'll eat later."
"Then if you want to eat, tell Xiaocui and I'll ask her to wait at your door." Sister Ping responded outside the door.
"No, I will go downstairs if I want to eat. You can go and take a rest. You are very tired today." Dou Lingxin rubbed her swollen eyes and ordered Sister Ping.
After Sister Ping left, she started reading again.
She didn't know how long she had been reading it, but she finished reading the contents of the notebook. Daddy's diary ended abruptly on the day he passed away.
There is a small blank page at the back.
Dou Lingxin stared at the first blank page for a while, then a tear suddenly fell and hit the white paper, leaving a pool of water stains.
She threw herself on the table and sobbed suppressedly.
It turns out that she has wrongly blamed her daddy for so many years, and she regrets it so much. Now that she and daddy are separated from each other, she has no chance to apologize.
Daddy, her cold-faced and warm-hearted daddy, is actually a deeply affectionate man, a kind-hearted good man, and a competent father and husband.
But a trick of fate caused him to pass away burdened with misunderstandings and regrets, leaving only sadness...
After crying for a long time, Dou Lingxin, whose eyes were red and swollen, raised her head. She closed her notebook, found her cell phone and dialed her aunt's number.
"Xin Xin!" Dou Lewen's excited voice sounded through the receiver. She took the initiative to call Dou Lingxin, as happy as if she had won the lottery.
"Aunt, I've finished reading Daddy's notebook. You're right, I want to see you now." Dou Lingxin rubbed her nose and answered her aunt.
There was a bang from Dou Lewen's side, and then she said: "Xinxin, aunt also wants to see you. Auntie will leave for you right now and wait for auntie."
As soon as he finished speaking, the phone was hung up before Dou Lingxin could say the second sentence.
She stood up and walked to the bathroom. Her aunt was always busy with her work and would be here soon. She had better tidy up a little so as not to make her aunt sad again if she saw her.
Because she misunderstood her father, she had not been kind to her aunt in recent years, and she felt very guilty at the moment.
