The slap hit Xixi on the face. Xixi was stunned. Lin Anxin was also stunned. He turned back to the room and closed the door heavily.

Lin Anxin regretted it very much. How could she hit Xixi? Xixi was so well-behaved and had made her worry-free since childhood, but she actually hit her today.

She looked at Zhuo's mother and then at Zhuo Xi. She felt infinite grievance in her heart, so she went back to the room without saying anything.

In the living room, Zhuo Xi sat slumped on the sofa, looking at Zhuo's mother who was a little unnatural. On the coffee table, there was a photo of Zhuo's father.

"Mom, frame dad's photo." Zhuo Xi said while holding back her anger.

Zhuo's mother risked her life. She knew that Zhuo Xi had something to say later, so she simply said, "Tell me, if you have anything to say, say it now so that you won't feel uncomfortable holding it in your heart."

"Mom, why are you..." Zhuo Xi was interrupted by Zhuo Xi's mother before she could finish speaking.

"I knew you would scold me for her. I agreed that she would come to live with us, but I didn't say in what capacity. She has no legal relationship with us. Is it wrong for me to ask her to pay the rent? Is it too much? Still

That time, I did find that I had less money, so I asked her what was wrong? She was responsible for buying groceries every day, and who knows how much she took..."

"Mom... you were not like this before. You are like this now, and I don't even recognize you anymore..." Zhuo Xi said.

"You mean I've become a philistine, right? Zhuo Xi, it's you who want to spend the rest of your life with her. Look at her spending money lavishly and throwing away things at every turn. What a waste. I can't stay with you forever.

After all, you have to live your own life. If you find a woman who is a prodigal, not to mention a family like ours, even Li Ka-shing will inevitably be ruined."

"As a woman, it's understandable even if you occasionally make impulsive purchases. Didn't you often buy branded bags with your father before? You really can't eat those things between meals. Eating too much is not good for your health. You say we are lang

Cost, if you look at the foreign catering industry, everything that cannot be sold out on the same day will be thrown away. Where can you keep it for sale the next day? If you eat bad and go to the hospital, wouldn’t it be more wasteful? "

Zhuo's mother snorted coldly, why didn't she understand these truths? She had always pursued a quality life, and she just wanted to make Lin Anxin look bad.

"Others can be pretty and beautiful, but she can't. I don't think about her background, so I think she is a rich lady? Is it bad to eat something for the next day? Besides, there is a refrigerator now, what should I not put in it?

Oh my God? Women can’t be pampered too much.”

"Dad used to dote on you very much. It's not easy to feel at ease when comparing your feelings to yours."

"Yes, it's not easy for her. I'm the only one who's the bad guy. Now I'll leave it here: It looks like she and I can't get along anymore. Either she leaves or I leave. You see what I do."

Zhuo's mother also got up and went back to her room, leaving Zhuo Xi alone in pain on the sofa.

When he was upset, he always wanted to smoke a cigarette, one after another, and in the blink of an eye he had smoked three.

Lin Anxin felt wronged by what happened today. His mother had indeed gone too far. But she was his mother after all. No matter how bad she was, he had no reason to leave her alone, not to mention the last incident had left him with lingering fears.

But Lin Anxin's side... Zhuo Xi knew that she had to endure it very hard. When he heard Xixi's words, Zhuo Xi's first reaction was that it was impossible. He didn't believe that his mother would do that to Lin Anxin, but then Lian Zhuo Xi

Even though his mother had admitted it, he had no choice but to disbelieve it and could only respect and be grateful to Lin Anxin more and more.

The apology must be made to Lin Anxin. However, how can the two women get along with each other in the future? Is it really like what Zhuo's mother said, to choose one of the two? Zhuo Xi is determined that Zhuo Xi will not abandon her again.

Then the only one he has to give up is Lin Anxin.

Abandoning her...Zhuo Xi didn't even dare to think about it.

There was one thing that Zhuo Xi never asked. When he came back, Lin Anxin and Xixi came back together. But Xixi was so young, how could she go out to find Lin Anxin alone? I remember when she first came back, Zhuo's mother said sarcastically: "

Didn't you find it? Someone got there first and dragged everyone around to look for it. How could you find it?"

When he was upset at that time, he didn't think carefully about what it meant. Looking back now, there is only one possibility for the person who dragged his family and family to find him, Yin Haoze.

Every time there was a small friction between himself and Lin Anxin, he would always appear at the right time and open some cracks in their relationship. Lin Anxin had been gone for so long, where had she, Yin Haoze and Xixi gone? Why did Xixi go?

Suddenly he had such an attitude. He used to be a good and sensible boy, but today he actually called Zhuo's mother an "old witch"!

Zhuo Xi felt very uncomfortable. He felt that Yin Haoze must have said something to Lin Anxin again.

He returned to the room and saw Lin Anxin sitting on the bedside crying silently. He sighed, walked over and took her hand.

On a hot summer day, her hands were so cold.

"I'm sorry, An Xin...I have made you feel wronged..."

Zhuo Xi's words touched the softest part of Lin Anxin, or in other words, she released her grievances to the fullest. Her tears rolled down like broken beads.

"Zhuoxi...I have really worked hard..."

"I know, I know...it's all my wishful thinking. I thought that when two people get together, everything will be fine after the running-in period. I didn't expect that it would make your relationship even worse. It's so unfair to you."

Lin Anxin didn't speak, just cried.

"An Xin...I assure you, my mother is actually a very good woman. She was really not like this before. Maybe...maybe...maybe her father's death has stimulated her, or maybe she has entered menopause, so her personality is inevitably a little bit...

Extreme...can you forgive her?"

Lin Anxin thought that even if he said this, could he still not forgive him? Even if he didn't forgive him, what could she do? She could only nodded.

When Zhuo Xi saw this, he couldn't help laughing happily. Then, he carefully made a request: "For my sake, can you endure it for a while? Maybe my mother will change her mind after this."

Lin Anxin didn't expect Zhuo Xi to make such a request, and her body couldn't help but tremble.

She was so scared. Really, every time Zhuo Xi went to work and Xixi went to school, she would face Zhuo's mother alone just like a maid meeting an old lady. She was as trembling as a maid meeting an old lady. She was afraid of accidentally making her unhappy.

, but she couldn't reply because once she did, she would faint when she got angry.

Lin Anxin's reaction fell into Zhuo Xi's eyes, and his heart was stabbed hard. Now Lin Anxin was like a frightened bird. He didn't understand that his mother had hurt her so much?

How did he know that Lin Anxin was inspired by Zhuo's mother to have memories of her childhood at her uncle's and aunt's house. At that time, she was also careful to make her uncle and aunt look well-behaved and try not to cause trouble to them, but the way her aunt looked at her

It's always disgusting.

I remember one time, my aunt asked her to iron a piece of clothing, but she accidentally made a hole in the clothes. It was her aunt's most expensive piece of clothing. She will always remember the look in her aunt's eyes as if she was about to eat her.

That day, she was made to stand by her aunt. On a winter night, it was still snowing outside. She didn't even eat dinner and stood shivering in the ice and snow. She missed her parents, but it was useless. She couldn't see them.

It's time for them. She hasn't seen them since she was very young.

Originally, she thought that as soon as she grew up and had enough ability to support herself, she could be separated from her uncle and aunt. Unexpectedly, their plan for her was not just as simple as disgusting her and forcing her to stand in the snow, but also betrayed her.

Therefore, her fear of Zhuo's mother stems from the memories given to her by her uncle and aunt, and also because she doesn't know what other methods Zhuo's mother will use to punish herself.

The unknown is far scarier than the known.

Zhuo Xi had no choice but to hold her in his arms: "I won't force you. If you find it really difficult to get along with my mother, you should go back to where we originally lived."

Lin Anxin secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked: "But... Auntie is at home alone..."

"An Xin, I can't leave her alone, so..." Zhuo Xi paused and said, "I will visit you often, but I can't live with you. Can you understand me?"

Lin Anxin nodded and asked Zhuo Xi to leave his mother and be with him. Even if Zhuo Xi agreed, he would feel uncomfortable.

That's fine. It's just me, Xixi and Lin Ping. At least I'm more comfortable than now.

She saw the embarrassment on Zhuo Xi's face, and she understood that if she left this time, she and Zhuo's mother might never be able to live together in the same room.

She had to think about her future, and she couldn't do it just because Zhuo's mother and Zhuo Xi were always separated. She thought about it and remembered a marriage expert who said that the best way to solve the relationship between two generations of a single-parent family is for the older person to find a partner.

If you live happily alone, you should also find someone to build a family with and live happily instead of letting one of you become a burden.

"Zhuoxi... how about we help aunt find a companion."

When Zhuo Xi heard this, his face darkened: "What did you say? My dad passed away just a short time ago, and he asked my mom to find someone? What does this make my mom think?"

Lin Anxin stopped talking immediately. Maybe it was too early for her to say these words now.

"I just saw it said on TV that the real way to make elderly people living alone happy is to find them a companion who speaks the same language, so..."

Zhuo Xi sighed softly: "I know you are thinking about her and us. But it is too early to say this now. My mother will think that we dislike her and are eager to push her to others.

.Besides, I still can’t accept calling another old man ‘dad’.”

Even though Zhuo Xi didn't listen to Zhuo's father, he actually admired his father since he was a child. Otherwise, he would not have followed the path of a television worker like his father.

For him to put down his dignity and call a man he didn't know his father was a difficult hurdle for him to overcome.
