She looked around at the room where the real Ye Xiner lived before, and was startled when she saw the photo on the wall——
"Isn't this light rain?"
"Pa!" Without saying a word, Ye Zhenzhen raised her hand and slapped Ling Shanshan hard on the face. Five clear finger prints suddenly appeared on her cheek.
"Why do you always hit me?!" Ling Shanshan was anxious, covering her face and asking angrily.
"How many times have I told you that you are not allowed to mention Ling Tongyu's name! Not only did you not listen, you also mentioned it in this house. Are you impatient?" Ye Zhenzhen picked up the photo frame and pulled it hard.
, hit the wall hard.
With a "clang", the photo frame suddenly fell to the ground, the glass was smashed to pieces, glass shards were shattered on the ground, and the photo fell out of the photo frame. The girl in the photo smiled very sweetly.
"..." Ye Zhenzhen's expression was full of hatred and unwillingness, and she looked very twisted. Ling Shanshan was frightened when she looked at it. She was so frightened that she cowered in the corner, not daring to say a word, for fear of offending this woman.
devil.

Chinese restaurant.
Today is the weekend. There are a lot of Chinese guests. Ling Tongyu is so busy that he doesn’t even have time to drink water. From 10 am to 2 pm, he washes vegetables, cuts vegetables, orders, and serves dishes. There is no time in between.
Why did it stop?
After a few hours, she was exhausted, sweating profusely, and had backache, but she still had no time to rest.
"Waiter, here's a beer!" When table three was ordering, the customer at table six shouted again.
"Hey! Come right away!" She responded loudly, running here and there.
Han Jifeng stood outside, his eyes quietly following the woman inside who was working non-stop like a hard-working bee.
Today, he had been driving behind her silently, but she didn't know.
He discovered that the lights in her house were on at five o'clock in the morning. At six o'clock, she went out on her bicycle to buy groceries at a nearby supermarket, and then rode her bike home again. Then the lights in the kitchen were on again;
At seven o'clock, I rode for half an hour to the school library to clean it and help the teacher in the library organize materials;
At half past nine, I rushed to this restaurant from school and have been busy until now;
From beginning to end, he didn't find her eating anything, but he saw her leaning against the wall several times, frowning, rubbing her stomach, wiping her sweat, and then continuing to work.
…
"Bill, please!"
"Hey, here we come!" Ling Tongyu walked to the last table of guests with a menu and calculator. After settling the bill, the busy schedule finally came to an end.
She wiped the sweat from her forehead, rubbed her lower back, sat down next to the messy table, leaned back on the chair, wiped the sweat from her forehead, and said -
"Oh Mom, I'm so exhausted."
She counted the money she received and rubbed her stomach from time to time. She stopped now and then felt extremely hungry.
"Xiaoyu, you've worked hard today, let's close up early today." Uncle Wu walked out of the kitchen with a towel wiping his sweat.
"Wow, Uncle Wu, you are so interesting!" Ling Tongyu was very happy when he heard it was closed.
"I'll cook you two delicious dishes. Just put them away after you finish eating." The two of them have been working together for a while, and Uncle Wu already likes this hard-working, kind, strong and brave Chinese girl.
"Thank you, Uncle Wu." Ling Tongyu swallowed his saliva and said mischievously, "I'm lucky again. Uncle Wu's food is delicious."
"I think your stomach is not feeling well, so I'll make you some porridge." Uncle Wu said and went to the kitchen.
"Porridge?" Ling Tongyu was stunned. She remembered that Han Jifeng could also make porridge.
"Squeak..." At this time, the door rang and a guest came in.
Ling Tongyu counted the money in his hand and said without raising his head, "Sorry, we are closed today. Please come back tomorrow."
"...Bang bang." The guest reached out and knocked on the table in front of her.
"I'm sorry, we've already fought..." When she looked up, what caught her eye was the face that had just flashed through her mind. He was looking at her with deep meaning.
Thinking of her image at this moment, she felt a little uncomfortable. She stood up, wiped her hands on her apron, and asked -
"You, why are you here?"
Han Jifeng looked at the woman in front of him with disheveled hair, red cheeks, and general discomfort, and asked——
"Why are you lying to me? There is no 100 million and no big house, right?"
Ling Tongyu was stunned for a moment after hearing this. It turned out that he already knew.
She smiled, wiped the sweat from her face, and said, "I'm not lying to you, but I think... I don't need to explain it to you in particular. Well, you have eaten, and Uncle Wu wants to cook for me, how about you
Eat some too."
"Xiaoyu, who's here?" By chance, Uncle Wu came out with the fried vegetables and was stunned for a moment when he saw Han Jifeng.
"Uncle Wu, this is my friend. This is Uncle Wu, who takes good care of me." Ling Tongyu introduced the two of them, and Han Jifeng nodded slightly towards Uncle Wu.
Uncle Wu seemed to see something on the faces of the two people. After putting down the dishes, he went back to the kitchen.
The two of them sat face to face on the cleared table. Ling Tongyu was hungry and lowered his head to eat in silence. Han Jifeng's eyes never left her.
It seemed that she was extremely hungry. Her eating behavior could be described as ravenous, and she didn't even realize that there were grains of rice stuck to the corner of her mouth.
"Don't you want to eat something? Uncle Wu's food is very authentic Chinese food, which is hard to find in New York." She looked up and found that he didn't even move his chopsticks, so she asked.
Han Jifeng stretched out his hand to her and took off the rice grain stuck to the corner of her mouth.
"..." Ling Tongyu's face suddenly turned red. Seeing him in such embarrassment again, something strange arose in his heart.
"Ling Tongyu, come back to China with me and give Xiaoxi a home." He said suddenly.
After hearing this, Ling Tongyu paused with her hand holding the chopsticks and said nothing.
In fact, after knowing some of the things Han Jifeng had done for them, she no longer cared much about the paternity test. Even if he secretly took the paternity test behind their backs, it was understandable. It just showed that he did not trust her and was unwilling to do so.
He just admitted that she gave birth to the child, but he didn't do anything to his daughter Xiaoxi.
But……
Han Jifeng stretched out his big palm, wrapped it around the back of her hand, looked into her eyes as clear as a spring, and said emotionally -
"When we return to China, everything starts over. For Xiaoxi, we try to work hard for each other. Maybe, we can really become a family."
She has been waiting for this sentence. After he knew that Xiaoxi was his child, she had been waiting for this sentence.
When she really heard it, her eyes turned red and tears slowly gathered in her eyes. Suddenly, she felt that her heart ached very much, and it ached for Xiaoxi.
She put down her chopsticks, lay on the table and cried.
"Ling Tongyu..." Seeing that she was just crying and not speaking, Han Jifeng suddenly panicked.
Ling Tongyu raised his face with pear blossoms and rain, and said——
"Do you know? I have dreamed countless times that one day Xiaoxi's father will take her home openly and tell her, baby, I am your father. From now on, you will no longer be a child without a father.
, Dad will always be by your side, and no one will dare to bully you..."
