Lu Sheng almost exhausted all the tricks of coaxing and deceiving, and finally got Bai Rui to stop following him. However, when the two separated, Lu Sheng had no choice but to agree to Bai Rui's condition of exchanging phone numbers. He gave the phone to Bai Rui.
The number was given to Bai Rui.
Sometimes just some inadvertent actions or some contradictory behaviors will have unexpected effects. Lu Sheng refused in his heart to give Bai Rui his phone number, but he didn't expect it to be because of Bai Rui.
Knowing his phone number directly helped Lu Sheng.
Zhou Xiaodie planned to leave Meizhou the next day to work in the south, while Lu Sheng planned to go to Zhou Xiaodie's house to talk to her the next day. It was very possible that the two of them would miss each other, but it was Bai Rui who took the lead.
The phone number returned allowed the two of them to have a very important conversation.
That's what happened:
After Lu Sheng left Zhou Xiaodie's house, Zhou Xiaodie thought a lot.
Bai Longqiang did not explain the details of the incident to her in detail. She only knew that Bai Longqiang was going to jail, and she and Bai Rui were moving to a new home. The reason why they moved to Huangzhou was because the house was given to them by a real estate owner in Huangzhou.
of.
It is nothing new for Bai Longqiang to cause trouble outside, but that time ten years ago, she heard that Bai Longqiang was actually going to jail for seven years, which was still difficult for Zhou Xiaodie to accept.
Although this will erase all of Bai Longqiang's debts and provide them with a high-end house as compensation, considering that the child may not see his father for seven years, and Bai Longqiang will have the reputation of being a prisoner from now on, no matter how much money he gives, Zhou
Xiaodie didn't want him to do that either.
However, Bai Longqiang's words completely stopped Zhou Xiaodie from stopping him from going to jail.
Zhou Xiaodie still remembers that last night, the three of them crowded into the same bed. It had been a long time since the family of three had slept on the same bed.
Bai Rui was lying between the couple. Bai Longqiang looked at the sleeping Bai Rui and said calmly to Zhou Xiaodie, "It's either seven years or death."
After that night, Bai Longqiang never returned to their home.
In the past ten years, Zhou Xiaodie thought about her mother and daughter, but they only had a big house, and Bai Longqiang didn't leave any savings for the family.
She had no stable job and no skills. In order to support her family and pay for Bai Rui's studies, she had no choice but to take up that despicable job.
That job does not require academic qualifications or skills, as long as you are beautiful, even if you are not beautiful, it is the difference between making more money and less money. Fortunately, she works in Huangzhou, and all their relatives and friends are not there
However, as Bai Rui gets older, Zhou Xiaodie wonders if her daughter already knows what kind of job she is doing.
Zhou Xiaodie thought about the strange man who came today. He said so much, and she knew that this man must be related to what happened back then.
Bai Longqiang is dead, and she has never thought about avenging him, but even if it is for her daughter, even if she wants to accumulate some virtue for herself, if possible, Zhou Xiaodie wonders if she can do Lu Sheng a small favor.
Zhou Xiaodie has been recalling what Lu Sheng said to her at the door during the day.
"I just want to know what is the relationship between you and Song Haoqian, why did he give you a house, and what is the relationship between Song Haoqian and Zhao Shi's family."
"If you can, I hope you can tell everything you know. I hope your child's father will not stupidly serve seven years in prison for others, nor will he die in vain."
…
It was getting late, and Bai Rui came back after having dinner at home. When she saw that her mother had washed her face, she suddenly felt a little uncomfortable, but at the same time very friendly, and thought that she would have a good chat with her about the past in the evening.
During dinner, the dinner table was unusually quiet because of what happened in the afternoon.
After dinner, Zhou Xiaodie pulled Bai Rui into their room. When they returned to the room, Bai Rui sat on the edge of the bed, while Zhou Xiaodie stood aside, looking down at Bai Rui, and asked:
"Where have you been for such a long time?"
Bai Rui raised her head and looked at her mother, without hiding anything from her, "Go follow that person!"
"What? You, a little girl, are following him? Aren't you afraid that she is a bad person?"
"I can feel that he is not a bad person. You can tell by the look in his eyes."
"Why are you following him?"
"I want to know what happened back then. I want to know why my father was imprisoned for seven years and why he was hit to death?" Bai Rui said this, and she was surprised to find that she was surprisingly calm.
Hearing this and looking at Bai Rui, Zhou Xiaodie felt very distressed. She didn't want to tell her daughter the truth or damage Bai Longqiang's image in her daughter's heart. She deliberately changed the subject and said, "Has he discovered you?"
"Um."
"That's just right. Do you know where he lives?"
"have no idea."
Zhou Xiaodie sighed, because just now, she really had the urge to tell Lu Sheng some truth.
A lonely look flashed across Zhou Xiaodie's face, but Bai Rui still saw the slight change in her mother's expression. She suddenly stood up and looked at Zhou Xiaodie and asked:
"Mom, why did you ask him where he lived? Are you going to find him? Did you plan to tell him what you know?"
"Xiao Rui, something did happen back then. From this person's words, I can also feel that he is also related to what happened back then. And like you, I can also feel that this person is not a bad person."
Hearing this, Bai Rui reached out excitedly and held her mother's hand, "So? If he can help us catch the bad guy, we should help him."
Zhou Xiaodie was silent for a while, then pulled Bai Rui to sit on the bed, "What happened back then is likely to be related to many people, and I can't do it for such a stranger, for the promise that he doesn't know whether he can fulfill it for us.
Choose to help him?"
Bai Rui was a little confused when she heard this. She didn't know what her mother meant by what she said.
"But since he came to the door and explained what happened back then, even though ten years have passed, it is still not completely settled, so I did have the urge to talk to him just now, but I have to leave tomorrow and may not be able to find him.
He..."
Bai Rui knew what her mother was thinking, and before she finished speaking, she hurriedly said, "I have his phone number."
Having said this, Zhou Xiaodie knew that this favor seemed to be coming.
"Mom, then I'll call him."
Zhou Xiaodie looked at Bai Rui and did not refuse.
Bai Rui happily took out her mobile phone and found "Unknown Uncle" on the phone. This was the note she gave Lu Sheng, and she dialed the number.
