Li Li held Ruosheng's hand pitifully, raised her head and looked at her with clear black and white eyes without blinking.
Wow, they have come a long way, how far they still have to go.
And my mother didn’t say a word along the way, which was really scary.
"Li Li, be good, give me a hug, mom."
Looking at Li Li's tired little face, Ruosheng couldn't help but feel distressed, bent down and picked him up and continued to move forward.
She didn't know where she was going, and she suddenly realized that there was no place for their mother and son in such a big world.
No matter what happened before, Li Xi was her solid backing, but now...
She really didn't know where else to go.
"Mom, are Dad Ling and Mommy together? Don't want us anymore?"
Suddenly, Li Li looked at Ruosheng timidly and asked cautiously.
Ruosheng looked at him blankly, and couldn't help but evoke a wry smile.
I thought to myself, it seems that even the children have noticed it. How late-minded I am, I didn't know it at all. No wonder I haven't seen Li Xi for a long time. It turns out they are together.
"No, mommy won't let Li Li go."
Taking a deep breath and forcing a wry smile, Ruosheng gently pinched Li Li's face.
She knew that Li Li liked Li Xi very much. Li Xi had always been very kind to him, and he always called her mommy. To him, Li Xi was the most important person besides himself.
"But...but mommy ignored Li Li."
"No, mommy didn't ignore Li Li. Mommy didn't see Li Li."
"Really?"
"Really, Mommy likes Li Li the most, so why would she ignore Li Li?"
"oh!"
After getting a satisfactory answer, the little guy finally became quiet, but his little face was still solemn, as if he was thinking about something.
Such a little child, so sensitive, Ruosheng could only smile bitterly, rubbed his little face, and couldn't help but smile a little bitterly.
She also wanted to know what was going on with Li Xi and Ling Yuechu, but...
"Hey, aren't you Liu Ruosheng?"
"Um, sorry, who are you?"
Ruosheng held Li Li and walked aimlessly. As they walked, a freckle-faced woman suddenly stopped them and greeted them enthusiastically. Ruosheng looked up and down, but there was still nothing.
Recognize the person in front of you.
"Oh, you have forgotten that we are classmates. I am that... that class beauty, the former class beauty of our class!"
"Class beauty? Oh, it's you!"
After looking hard for a long time, I finally got a vague impression, but how did she become like this?
She remembered that she used to be a very pretty little girl with a few cute freckles on her face. At that time, she was the dream girl of many boys.
But...but now she is just like the aunt on the street. Her figure is like a balloon, at least three times the size she used to be. It is normal for her not to recognize Hu Lai.
"Oh, we haven't seen each other for so many years, and I'm already getting old. Look, you're still the same as before. You're even prettier. By the way, this child is...could it be Liu Shuqi's?"
"Uh... um!"
Speaking of Li Li's father, Ruosheng looked confused and nodded immediately.
To be honest, she really didn't remember who Li Li's father was, but in her memory, she only had one boyfriend, and that was her classmate Liu Shuqi. Apart from him, she really couldn't think of anyone else.
"Really, you are so old. Speaking of which, Liu Shuqi was really stubborn back then. Liu Shuqi just said it casually, but he didn't expect you to run away like this. You don't know how fast he has been looking for you in these years.
crazy!"
Ban Hua spoke vividly, while Ruosheng listened with a confused look on her face. She had no impression of what happened or what happened.
But when she said it this way, it seemed a little clearer.
It turns out that you ran away because you had a disagreement with him.
"Hey, you said it's been really hard for you, a woman, with a child these years. By the way, has Liu Shuqi been looking for you? It's been really hard for him these years. He's been looking for you while starting a business, and now he's
He’s not married yet, but he keeps saying that he won’t get married if he can’t find you. Everyone he knows tells him not to look for you, but he refuses to give up. Hey, he’s so infatuated.”
The class beauty was talking to herself, and Ruosheng's face couldn't help but feel slightly hot as she listened.
To be honest, what she said had no impact on her at all. It was like listening to other people's stories, but...but this was clearly her own business, and she felt a little embarrassed.
"You, stop talking. Come with me back to my house and sit down. We haven't seen each other for so many years. Let's talk together."
"Is this okay?"
Ruosheng looked at the class beauty who had become an aunt with a troubled expression.
Now she has nowhere to go, and she doesn't know where else to go. It would be good if she could go to her house and sit down to find some water for Li Li to drink.
She came out in a hurry, she didn't have a penny on her, and now Li Li was hungry and thirsty.
"Look at what you said. We are old classmates. If there is anything wrong with you, just leave."
The class flower was very hospitable and took Ruosheng's hand, pulled her into the alley, and soon arrived at her home.
"Okay, you guys sit down and I'll find you something to eat."
"Hey, um... no need... we..."
"Mom, I'm hungry."
"Um...thank you, I'm so sorry."
This is an old house, dark and damp, and it seems that her life is not easy. Ruosheng does not want to cause trouble to her, but Li Li complains that she is hungry.
"Look at you, we have been in a relationship for many years, and it's really outrageous for you to say such things. I'll be back soon, just wait."
"Well, thank you."
"Look at you, why are you so polite!"
Banhua twisted her fat body and turned into another room. Ruosheng held Li Li and sat on a small chair. One of the legs of the chair was broken and it was a bit unstable. Ruosheng moved it carefully and was a little scared.
It crushed the chair.
"Come on, come and eat. So, little one, what's your name?"
Banhua came in with a small plate of candies, twisted one and handed it to Li Li. It must have been left there for too long, and it was already covered with dust.
"Li Li."
Li Li said her name obediently, stretched out her little hand to take the candy, and looked at Ruosheng with a troubled expression.
Although Ruosheng didn't have much money, he never treated Li Li badly and gave him the best. When had he ever seen such candy?
Ruosheng could only bring up a wry smile, took the candy bag from his hand, opened the candy wrapper and fed him.
"Li Li, dear, this was my mother's favorite candy when she was little. Thank you, auntie."
"Thank you, auntie."
With the candy in her mouth, Li Li thanked her very obediently, but her eyebrows could not help but tie into seven or eight knots.
Well, this candy is really terrible. He has never eaten such a terrible candy.
"Ah, there is some candy."
"Stop, that's mine!"
"My, my!"
"Don't fight with me!"
Ruosheng was about to appease Li Li, when suddenly a group of children rushed in like a gust of wind, and they all ran towards the small plate of candy. After a while, even the plate was taken away.
"Oh, my little ancestors, what are you doing! This is what my mother used to find auntie and the others. Why are you so rude?"
The class beauty angrily scolded a group of children, but the children were not afraid at all. They quickly stuffed the candies into their mouths one by one, and some did not even peel off the candy wrappers, as if they were afraid of being snatched away.
"Um, are these your children?"
Looking at the group of children around her, including six boys and girls, big and small, Ruosheng couldn't help but be speechless.
"Yes, I made you laugh. They are all my children. They are all disobedient and behave badly. Your Li Li is still a good boy. Look at his fair little face. He is exactly the same as Liu Shuqi.
!”
The class beauty looked at Li Li with a flattering look on her face and praised her unceremoniously. This made Ruosheng feel a little embarrassed, so she could only nod her head.
In fact, she didn't even remember what that Liu Shuqi looked like, and she could only vaguely remember the name in her mind, so she really couldn't tell whether Li Li looked like her or not.
"Seriously, it's not easy for you, a woman."
"Actually...it's actually good."
Holding Li Li in her arms, Ruosheng looked around at Banhua's home.
Although her life was not easy, seeing her family like this made her feel balanced.
If it hadn't been for a series of troubles, he and Li Li would actually be living a good life.
"Hey, children still need a father. Children without a father are really pitiful. You and I are a bunch of stupid kids. Don't look at them. They are all dead now, but when their father comes back, they are obedient."
Ban Hua paid attention to the change in Ruosheng's face as she spoke, and continued speaking with peace of mind when she saw that she didn't have much reaction.
That man said that as long as he could persuade the two of them, he would give himself 20,000 yuan.
Twenty thousand yuan is an astronomical sum of money to them. They have never seen so much money in their lives.
"That...actually...actually we..."
"Ruosheng, Ruosheng, where is Ruosheng? Ruosheng, I finally found you!"
Looking at the class beauty with an embarrassed look on her face, Ruosheng tried hard to think of how to explain to her that in fact, although Li Li did not have a father, she lived a better life than her children. Before she could explain, a man suddenly rushed in. She
Before he could see his appearance clearly, he hugged himself and Li Li tightly in his arms.
