This house is not big, with an area of about 80 square meters. It has a standard layout of two bedrooms and one living room. The interior decoration has a light minimalist European style, and the color is mainly white. The house is not big, but it is very warm.
Chu Yan's surprise came from the cleanliness and tidiness of the room. He knew that girls like to be clean, but he didn't expect Jiang Xiaoran to love cleanliness so much.
Since the first day he met Jiang Xiaoran, he could clearly see the character of this confused little girl. She was confused but not careless. She was sleepy all day long and seemed to never wake up. She loved to sleep, but all love
There are very few diligent people who sleep in, and Jiang Xiaoran is obviously a big exception.
Although this little girl likes to sleep in and eat, her house is kept clean. The furnishings in the living room are very simple. There is a large beige sofa. In front of the sofa is a glass coffee table. Under the coffee table, there are neatly arranged items.
There are a lot of snacks.
There was no shortage of TVs, refrigerators, and air conditioners. They were placed reasonably and were so clean that even Chu Yan was ashamed. In front of the sofa was an approximately 40-inch LCD TV.
Looking at Jiang Xiaoran sleeping soundly on the sofa, Chu Yan couldn't help but take a closer look at the kitchen, bathroom and bedroom.
"I really didn't expect how you managed to get here alone all these years." Chu Yan said, his eyes fell on the background wall behind the LCD TV in the living room. On the glass partition on one side of the background wall, there was a photo frame
The photo in the frame is of Jiang Xiaoran and her parents. The background seems to be the Ferris wheel at Disneyland in Nanshan City.
Chu Yan knew that Jiang Xiaoran's father passed away and her mother remarried into a rich family, but he didn't know why Jiang Xiaoran's mother remarried and whether she still cared about Jiang Xiaoran after remarrying. But now it seems that the answer is ready to be revealed.
, in this house, Jiang Xiaoran only has her mother in one photo, and the rest of the photos are of her and her father, which intuitively illustrates some problems.
Jiang Xiaoran will sleep for a while. What happened yesterday was a big blow to her. This kind and confused little girl may have never encountered such a thing. Fortunately, the matter did not develop to an irreversible step.
Taking the key that Jiang Xiaoran threw on the coffee table, Chu Yan opened the door and went downstairs. He wanted to walk around this community and become as familiar with the environment as possible. He would inevitably come here in the future.
Most of the people living in Luofeng Garden Community are elderly people, and few young people come to live here. This is because when it was first built, it was positioned as a warm retirement residence for the elderly, so the greening and entertainment facilities in the community are
They are all complete, and of course, the necessary living facilities are also abundant.
Arriving at the supermarket at the entrance of the community, Chu Yan suddenly walked into the supermarket and went straight to the vegetable and meat sales area. He wanted to have lunch here and have a lunch cooked by him with Jiang Xiaoran.
This idea became extremely strong as soon as it appeared, so Chu Yan bought a piece of beef, a Wuchang fish and some vegetables in the supermarket and returned to Jiang Xiaoran's home.
It was almost noon, Chu Yan looked at Jiang Xiaoran who still showed no signs of waking up, and walked into the kitchen with a smile. In the kitchen, the vegetables he bought had already been washed, and the Wuchang fish had been marinated. All that was left was to do it.
Did it.
After smothering the rice, Chu Yan turned on the gas stove. He had not cooked for a long time with a warm smile on his face. The oil gradually heated up in the pot. Chu Yan put on his apron and picked up the shovel on the side.
With the sound of vegetables being put into the oil pan, the aroma of green onions and garlic being exploded in the oil pan filled the air. Jiang Xiaoran, who was lying on the sofa in the living room, also moved her cute little nose gently at this moment.
"Uh? Braised Wuchang fish? Cumin beef? Celery? Mushrooms?" As the aroma in the kitchen became stronger and stronger, Jiang Xiaoran, who was sleeping soundly, suddenly opened his eyes, and his nose kept twitching.
Some greedily inhaled the aroma of vegetables wafting in the living room, their saliva almost flowed out without realizing it, and the muttering in their mouths became louder and louder.
"Okay, done! I haven't done it for a long time, and I don't know if my skills have deteriorated." Putting the last mushroom and roasted rape into the plate, Chu Yan clapped his hands and took off his apron, looking at the four dishes and a pot of soup in front of him, satisfied.
nodded.
"Gu..." Just as Chu Yan was admiring his work, a strange sound suddenly came from behind him. He turned around and saw that it was Jiang Xiaoran who was drooling and looking at him with shining eyes...
The dish in front of her and this sound came from her stomach.
"Are you awake? Come over quickly and help me. Big brother will accompany you to have lunch." Chu Yan smiled and brought the dishes to the dining room table. Jiang Xiaoran did not forget to reach out and squeeze a piece of cumin beef while serving it.
The shredded beef was put into the mouth, and it was so hot that I could only exhale. However, after the beef was put into the mouth, the little sleepy eyes became extremely energetic, and the sleepy eyes that were always confused became piercing.
"How is it? How does it taste?" Chu Yan filled Jiang Xiaoran's bowl with half a bowl of kelp soup, and then asked with a smile.
"It's delicious! Big brother! The food you cook is so delicious!!" Jiang Xiaoran took a big sip of the soup, then quickly answered Chu Yan's questions, and then immersed himself in eating. Whatever Chu Yan asked, he didn't answer.
He just nodded his head in reply. As for his mouth, he was too busy eating to talk.
The meal was quite heartwarming. After the meal, Chu Yan wanted to stand up and clear away the dishes, but was stopped by Jiang Xiaoran. "Brother, let me come. You have already worked hard to cook."
Watching Jiang Xiaoran put away the dishes and then busy in the kitchen, the smile on Chu Yan's face was meaningful. For a little girl living alone, independence, autonomy, and taking care of herself are the first things she must learn.
Half an hour later, Jiang Xiaoran walked out of the kitchen and had a delicious lunch. After clearing the dishes, the eyes on her face returned to that hazy state again.
"Brother, the food you cook is so delicious." Jiang Xiaoran was sitting on the sofa, holding a cartoon pillow. She usually needed a nap after lunch, and today would be no exception.
"If you like it, big brother can come over often and do it for you." Chu Yan said to Jiang Xiaoran with a smile. Jiang Xiaoran smiled cutely on the side, and the two started chatting.
Time passed by, and although Jiang Xiaoran decided to skip work all day today, Chu Yan also hoped to spend as much time with her as possible, but a call from Mo Xiyao came, and the two brothers had a brief sofa chat together.
That's it.
After leaving Luofeng Garden, Chu Yan rushed to Silver Palm as soon as possible. It was now three o'clock in the afternoon, and Silver Palm had been open for an hour. Mo Xiyao was in the office on the third floor. Opposite her, a plainly dressed short-haired woman sat.
Next to the child and girl, there was a nervous middle-aged woman sitting.
"Mr. Chu, you are here, Mr. Mo is waiting for you above." When Chu Yan opened the door and entered the Silver Palm, Tina came over immediately and said with a smile, although in private she would call Chu Yan Brother Chu, Mo Xiyao
She is called Sister Mo, but during working hours, she still calls her more formally.
Nodding towards Tina, Chu Yan stepped up to the third floor. As soon as he entered the office, Chu Yan saw Mo Xiyao looking at the two people opposite her with a strange expression. This expression was really indescribable. She was angry.
It's a little bit happy, but also a little bit, in short, it's a mixture of emotions and anger, with a hint of helplessness and relief at the end.
"Who are they?" Chu Yan walked up to Mo Xiyao and asked with some confusion, because Mo Xiyao just said on the phone that he wanted him to come here quickly, and did not mention anything specific.
"Let me introduce to you, this is Zhou Xiaoyu, and that is her mother." After Mo Xiyao finished introducing, Chu Yan also looked confused, as if he didn't know these two people, and, with Mo Xiyao's
In actual circumstances, the possibility of intersecting with these two people is not very high.
"Who are they?" As soon as Chu Yan asked, Mo Xiyao turned the computer monitor on her desk to Chu Yan, and then clicked on a video in the folder. When Chu Yan's eyes fell on the video
, only then can we understand who these two people are.
"What are you two doing here?" Chu Yan wondered, Zhou Xiaoyu was the girl who placed the time bomb in the silver palm, and her mother was the onlookers who didn't know the truth, because Mo Xiyao had given
Chu Yan had seen the video on Fatty Luo Kai's cell phone. In the video, she was the one who was crying and begging Mo Xiyao to let her and a little boy go.
"I'm sorry!! I'm really sorry!! I was forced!! My mother and brother were arrested and locked up by him. If I didn't do it, he would starve my mother and my brother to death. I...I...Mom
"My younger brothers are my last relatives, I can't lose them... I'm sorry..." The girl stood up from the chair with a trembling voice, and while saying that, she was about to kneel down to Mo Xiyao and Chu Yan, but Chu Yan quickly reached out to stop him.
Got her.
"I came here to thank Boss Mo. The police originally wanted to arrest me and put me in jail. It was Boss Mo who begged for mercy that allowed me to stand here. Otherwise, my mother and brother would have no one to take care of me! Thank you, really
Thank you!" Zhou Xiaoyu was very emotional. Although the tears kept coming, they were tears of joy.
Chu Yan finally understood the ins and outs of the matter. Looking at Zhou Xiaoyu and the middle-aged woman beside Zhou Xiaoyu with tears on her face and choked with sobs, the string in Chu Yan's heart was gently plucked.
.
"Xiyao, look?" Mo Xiyao understood what Chu Yan meant. She looked at Zhou Xiaoyu and finally nodded, "Okay, Xiaoyu, don't cry. I'll give you a job."
Are you willing to take good care of your mother and brother?"
"I...I do!" Zhou Xiaoyu burst into tears when he heard this... dd
