Worried that my father would wait for me until late at night, I took a quick look around Zhang Wenhong's house and then went back home.
The distance from Zhang Wenhong's house to our small courtyard was only two or three kilometers. There were no people on the road. I walked quickly, and it was not dark when I got home.
As soon as I entered the courtyard, I saw my father sitting on the steps at the door, with his elbows on his knees and his chin in his hands, looking in the direction of the door with a sad look on his face.
Fourteen lay quietly at his feet, eyes as dark as obsidian looking in the same direction as his father.
"Daughter, you are finally back!" Seeing me entering the door, my father jumped up from the steps happily, came up to me and held my arm.
"What's wrong, Dad? Why do you look unhappy?" I asked Dad a little strangely. This was the first time I saw him look so sad since he was injured and became crazy.
"I'm not unhappy! How can I be unhappy? I'm happy to see my daughter!" Dad said with a smile and pulled me into the house and said: "I won't feed you buns today. I specially asked you to eat buns."
Luo Yue made you your favorite food."
Although Dad was smiling, there was still a bit of sadness in his eyes.
"Dad, you must be unhappy. Is there something you are hiding from me?" I looked at my father suspiciously: "Why did you suddenly ask Luo Yue to prepare delicious food for me?"
I walked into the living room with my father and saw Luo Yue busy in the kitchen. When she saw me entering the room, she turned her head and looked at me with a smile and said: "Sister is back, you sit down first, we will have dinner soon."
!”
I don't know if it's my imagination, but Luo Yue's smile looks a little weird and far-fetched.
Something's wrong!
Something was really wrong. Neither my father nor Luo Yue were good at hiding their emotions in their current situation. The suspicion in my heart became even deeper. They must be hiding something from me.
There was already soup and a braised fish on the dining table. I walked to the dining table and sat down while looking at the look on my father's face.
"Girl, this is your favorite red date belly slice soup. If you are tired, drink a bowl of soup first." Dad picked up a bowl and filled the bowl with soup.
When he was talking, my father's eyes were a little dodgey. He didn't look at me, but just stared at the soup bowl on the table.
"Dad, are you hiding something bad from me?" I said, staring at my father's face.
"No, no!" Dad put the soup in front of me and shook his head quickly: "There is nothing bad, and no girl came to take away my son-in-law's things!"
Is there a girl coming to get Lu Xiaohong’s things?
I was stunned and looked at my father blankly. I understood what he said but I didn't understand the meaning of the sentence.
"Oh, Uncle Lu, what are you talking about!" Luo Yue put two plates of freshly fried vegetables on the dining table and said, "Brother Lu didn't come here by himself, that girl is talking nonsense, just ignore her!
"
I slowly turned my head to look at Luo Yue, looking into her eyes without saying anything.
An inexplicable sadness came over me.
Luo Yue met my eyes, her eyes flickered, she lowered her eyes in frustration, put her hands on the table, and kept wringing her fingers together, looking very entangled, as if she wanted to say something but didn't dare to say it.
"What's going on? What girl? Why are you taking Lu Xiaohong's things?" I looked at Luo Yue and asked.
Luo Yue's head was lowered, and I could only see her biting her lips tightly.
I looked at my father again, and my father waved at me repeatedly and said, "Yes, that girl is a psycho and talks nonsense. Let's just ignore her and drive her away!"
My heart sank little by little. I seemed to know something, but also seemed to know nothing.
Dad and Luo Yue wanted to hide it from me because they were afraid that I would be sad. I also wanted to pretend that I didn't understand anything, but another voice in my heart was frantically telling me to keep asking.
You can't escape problems by running away.
"Since none of you want to tell me, I'll ask Lu Xiaohong myself!" I said, taking out my cell phone from my pocket and starting to call Lu Xiaohong.
In fact, I have called him no less than ten times today, but his phone has always been turned off.
Unexpectedly, I got through this time, and there was a ringing sound on the phone.
"Sister!" Seeing me calling, Luo Yue quickly raised her head, looked at me with some worry and said, "Miss Qinxue, is she back?"
Qinxue?
I thought about the continuous dreams I had when I was imprisoned by Qi Yue in the Mulan Mountain Villa, and the shadow of a person emerged in my heart.
"Hey! Is it Hu Ling? Do you know who I am? I guess you can't think of it!"
When the call was connected, the voice that came over was not Lu Xiaohong's voice, but the voice of a girl who was unfamiliar yet somewhat familiar.
"Chen Shanshan?" I subconsciously whispered the name of the person who came to mind.
"Huh?" Chen Shanshan exclaimed on the other end of the phone: "I didn't expect that after so many years, you can still recognize my voice when you hear it!"
"Where is Lu Xiaohong? Why do you have his phone number in your hand?" I was too lazy to talk nonsense to her and asked directly.
"After all these years, your words are still as annoying as before!" Chen Shanshan chuckled on the other end of the phone and said, "Why can't I have my fiancé's phone number in my hand?"
Her fiancé?
When did Lu Xiaohong become Chen Shanshan's fiancé? He had only left me for two days.
This must be a conspiracy!
"When you ask Lu Xiaohong to answer the phone, you don't have to act pretentious. As long as you can ensure his safety, just say what you want!"
My first subconscious reaction was that Lu Xiaohong was kidnapped by Chen Shanshan, although I couldn't figure out why Lu Xiaohong would be able to trick Chen Shanshan with his skills.
"Oh, what a self-righteous woman!"
Chen Shanshan snorted coldly on the other end of the phone and said: "I went to your house in the afternoon and saw your idiot father and your beautiful maid. Since you are so rare and unwilling to return Xiaohong's things to him, I
Just buy it for him, I have plenty of money anyway!"
Although I knew that Chen Shanshan was deliberately speaking to stimulate me, my heart still sank a little bit.
"Let Xiaohong answer the phone!" I said coolly into the phone.
"Then I'll be a good guy for once and see if he's willing to answer your call!"
Chen Shanshan chuckled lightly on the other end of the phone and shouted lazily: "Dear, a woman named Hu Ling is calling you. Do you want to answer it?"
My heart felt as if it was tightly grasped by a big hand, suffocating me. Why did Chen Shanshan call Lu Xiaohong dear?
She just wants to make me angry, it must not be Lu Xiaohong, it must not be him!
"I don't know, hang up!" A deep and cold man's voice came from the other end of the phone.
For an instant, I felt as if I had been struck by lightning and was stunned, unable to move. It felt like a big hole had been penetrated by someone's hand.
It was Lu Xiaohong's familiar voice. This chapter has been completed!
