"Wow! Uncle, you prepared a gift for me! That's great!" Xiaoxi was very happy. She hugged the box, jumped up, hugged Han Jifeng's neck, and kissed him hard on the cheek.
Gift? Ling Tongyu looked a little surprised. When did he prepare the gift? Why didn't she notice it?
In my heart, a long-lost warmth passed through me quietly.
"Yeah, it's the latest Barbie doll. Look, mom, my uncle bought me the Barbie doll I want most." With Han Jifeng's encouragement, Xiaoxi opened the gift box, which contained the latest Barbie doll.
She excitedly raised the gift box and showed it to Ling Tongyu. The joy of receiving the gift suddenly diluted Erdong's pain.
"Then thank you uncle." Ling Tongyu had a smile on his face, but he felt mixed emotions in his heart. These two people were obviously father and daughter, but they were burdened with the fate of never being able to recognize each other. Poor Xiaoxi
.
"Thank you, uncle." Xiaoxi obediently thanked Han Jifeng, and then began to happily sort out the Barbie dolls alone.
Neither Han Jifeng nor Ling Tongyu spoke, the carriage was quiet, while Xiaoxi was playing and fell asleep again in Ling Tongyu's arms without knowing it.
Han Jifeng held the steering wheel with both hands and stared straight ahead at the road with sharp and deep eyes. For some reason, Ling Tongyu felt that the atmosphere in the car had become a little depressing. She felt that he seemed angry, and there was a cold feeling on the back of his head.
breath.
"Thank you for today." Ling Tongyu looked at his back and thanked him, breaking the silence in the car.
However, Han Jifeng did not speak and continued to drive in silence. More than ten minutes later, the car drove into the dilapidated community where they lived.
Han Jifeng turned off the engine, got out of the car first, opened the rear seat window, bent down to take the sleeping Xiaoxi from Ling Tongyu's arms, and said in a deep voice: "We're here, get out of the car."
"I'll just come. It's already so late. CEO, please go back first. I really want to thank you today. Really..." Ling Tongyu quickly got out of the car and wanted to take her daughter from Han Jifeng's hand, but
Han Jifeng was so frightened by Han Jifeng's sharp look that he let go of his hand.
She had no choice but to follow him into their small house. When they went upstairs, some neighbors saw a man coming back with Ling Tongyu, and they couldn't help but take a few more glances at Ling Tongyu.
Tong Yu quickly lowered her head.
Put Xiaoxi on the bed and cover her with a quilt.
"Come downstairs with me." As soon as she walked out of the room, Han Jifeng, who was waiting in the living room, ordered her with a cold tone and an unquestionable power.
"It's so late. I think it's better to go back to the company tomorrow to discuss something. I think..." She thought of a reason to evade, because she could already think of what he was going to ask.
"Ling Tongyu." Her name came out of his mouth word by word, as if he had lost his patience. Ling Tongyu knew that if he tried to escape again, he might really piss her off, so he had to follow him downstairs again.
Got in the car.
Sitting next to him, she quietly raised her eyes and glanced at him. The lines on his face were tense and the joints of his hands that were holding the steering wheel were prominent.
"You still owe me an explanation." Han Jifeng turned around, looked at her and said, his eyes were a little gloomy, which made Ling Tongyu shiver in his heart.
"Wha, what?" She suddenly felt guilty. She didn't know why. She clearly felt that her affairs had nothing to do with him, but when he asked about it, she actually felt guilty.
"About Xiaoxi's father, what she said today is true, right? You have never been married, and there is no man around you. The so-called quarrels with your husband and your husband's business trip are all nonsense." I don't know why, but I think of her having a child out of wedlock.
, he felt a heavy, depressed and even angry feeling in his heart. He blurted it out before he could figure out why he felt this way.
"...Yes, yes, I have never been married, so I don't have a husband at all, and...there is no man around me." She replied softly.
"How old are you?" He took a deep breath and asked.
"Two, twenty-three."
"Two, ten, three, that is to say, you were only seventeen when you were pregnant with Xiaoxi." He suppressed the anger in his heart and continued.
"Yes." She nodded gently, her eyes slowly becoming wet.
Unbearable regret surged into my heart again.
Over the years, except for her best classmate and friend Yanyan, she has never talked to anyone about the incident that happened when she was seventeen. Her father and sister never asked her what happened, they only scolded her for her misbehavior.
, forcing her to have an abortion, she was almost kicked out of the house without begging.
At the age of seventeen, the most beautiful age in her life, she was about to enter college and work hard towards her dream school of fashion design in New York. However, as she was approaching the college entrance examination, she... experienced such an incident and encountered
Unknown pursuit, life has deviated from the right path.
At the age of seventeen, she didn't understand anything, was scared and helpless, and no one could help her. She was too scared to go to school.
At such a young age, she already had a natural motherhood in her heart. She seemed to be able to feel the feeling of this little life in her belly. She seemed to be begging her not to abandon her, so she made a decision.
The decision to give birth to a child.
As the months went by, her originally flat belly slowly grew larger, and even the loose school uniform couldn't hide it, and the pregnancy look became more and more obvious on her face.
The eyes around her gradually became strange. Some people poked her in the back and scolded her, scolding her for being uneducated, scolding her for being degenerate, scolding her for being shameless, scolding her for having the nerve to walk in and out, scolding her for what she did.
Don't die.
Both her adoptive father and sister felt humiliated and spoke coldly to her all day long.
She has become the best negative teaching material for parents to educate their daughters——
When she walked through the neighborhood, she could always hear a mother loudly saying to her daughter, "If you dare to be like the daughter of the Ling family, I will definitely break your dog legs and sever the mother-daughter relationship with you."
Every time, she lowered her head and smiled, caressing her belly gently, and whispered to the baby in her belly, "Baby, be good, mommy is fine. Mommy will definitely give birth to you well and raise you up."
Yes, let’s go, mommy will take you to listen to the birds singing..."
"Seventeen years old, seventeen years old..." Han Jifeng grabbed her shoulders, lowered his angry voice, and growled in a low voice, "Why don't you learn well? You made yourself look like this.
Look, what were you thinking at the time? You...you are very imprudent, do you know that? You are very casual, do you know that?"
