Ruan Bai walked up to Li Ni, patted her back gently, and said with a smile: "Hey, workaholic, it's time to get off work. Come on, I'll treat you to a midnight snack today."
Li Ni put down her work, sorted out the messy design drafts on the table, and refused with a smile: "No, I have to go home in a while. My mother just called and said that she was sick and asked me to go back early. I have to hurry up.
Go back, or she will have to bombard me again."
Ruan Bai saw that Li Ni didn't look well and was a little worried: "Do you need me to go back with you?"
She knows that Li Ni's mother Wang Na has never been good to her.,
In the past, she was not so blatant, but since Li Zong went to prison, she seemed to have become a different person, constantly squeezing Li Ni, like a vampire.
Li Ni rejected Ruan Bai's kindness: "No, I can handle it. My mother still has a deep prejudice against you. I'm afraid that if you go, it will be self-defeating."
Because of the frame-up of Ruan Bai, Li Ni's brother Li Zong was arrested according to law and sentenced to six years in prison. He has not yet been released from prison.
Ruan Bai was silent for a moment, thinking that Li Zong, who once took great care of her and was gentle and elegant, later became as scary as a devil. Not only did he drug her, but he also used himself as an object for his group friends to play with. She once felt that
I am blind.
The past is hard to look back on.
But after all they were lovers, Ruan Bai couldn't help but asked Li Ni about Li Zong: "Your brother, how is your brother...how is he now?"
Li Ni pretended to be relaxed and said: "He is still the same as before. I went to visit him half a year ago. He was much more haggard and thinner, but his personality was completely different from before, and his attitude was much more correct."
. He seems to be developing in a good direction, and it seems that prison discipline is still useful."
"How long does it take for him... to be released from prison?"
At the beginning, Li Zong committed the crime of rape. Although he attempted rape, the sentence should not be so severe, and the maximum would be less than three years. However, Mu Shaoling was determined to punish him and raped him forcefully.
The attempted case expanded and Li Zong was sentenced to six years.
Li Ni said calmly: "I heard from the prison guard that my brother behaved well in prison and made meritorious service twice. His sentence was reduced by two and a half years. He has been in prison for three years and will be in prison for another year.
Out of jail."
Ruan Bai didn't speak for a long time. After a long time, he sighed: "Nini, do you hate me? Because of me, your brother has been in jail for so long, and your life has also undergone earth-shaking changes."
Li Ni smiled and hit her shoulder, glaring at her: "What are you thinking about? My brother deserves to go to jail. If I were the victim, I would make the same choice as you.
, what does it have to do with you? Also, how many times have I said that my affairs have nothing to do with you at all. It is just my bad luck and meeting an evil lunatic. Well, no one can tell what happened in the past.
Okay, let’s go, it’s time to get off work!”
Ruan Bai looked at Li Ni's pretending to be relaxed, always feeling an inexplicable worry.
But she didn't say anything in the end, just shook her head helplessly.
…
Luoshan Town.
Li Ni drove home at night, spending nearly three hours on the road, and it was almost eleven o'clock in the evening when she got home.
Returning to an old residential building, she climbed dozens of dilapidated stairs wearing high heels.
Before she entered the door, she heard her mother's harsh voice——
"It's useless, you are just a loser. Not to mention that you can't make money, you are like a boring gourd all day long, and you can't even make a fart for a long time! I have been married to you for so many years, and I have never enjoyed a day of happiness. If something happens to my son, you won't be able to do it.
Don't care, I've never seen such a stupid man like you!"
This sharp and mean voice was naturally made by Li Ni's mother Wang Na, and it was obvious that she was criticizing the poor and loyal father Li.
Father Li has gray hair and a stooped back. Although he is in his fifties, he looks like he is sixty or seventy years old.
He just smoked silently, letting his mother Li scold him without saying a word, but his turbid eyes were filled with the misery of life.
Many cigarette butts were scattered on the floor.
Li Ni knocked hard on the door, breaking the tense atmosphere between the old couple: "Dad, I'm back."
The door was opened, revealing Father Li's loving face: "Nini is back, why is it so late? Have you had dinner? Can Dad go to the kitchen to make you a bowl of egg noodles?"
"No, dad, I'm not hungry. I ate on the way when I came back." Li Ni walked in and stopped Li's father.
She casually glanced at the living room. Many things in it had been broken by her mother, and the room was in a mess.
When Wang Na saw Li Ni coming back, she couldn't help but curled her lips and said in a weird voice: "Oh, you still know you're coming back?! Do you remember that there are parents at home? As expected, my daughter is just like the water that was thrown out. She grew up and her wings became hard.
If you run wild outside, you don’t even have a home!”
Li Ni put down the bag in her hand and said patiently: "Mom, you said you were sick, so I hurried back. Now you look so lively and vigorous, how can you look like you are sick? Since there is nothing wrong, then I
I'll go back first. I have to go to work tomorrow, I'm very busy."
But Wang Na flashed in front of Li Ni, blocked her way, and grabbed her bag tightly: "Since we finally came back, let's wait until the night is over before leaving."
After saying that, she grabbed her daughter's LV bag and eagerly opened the zipper.
Li Ni stared at her mother speechlessly like a robber, excitedly rummaging through her bag and watching with cold eyes.
But after groping for a while, Wang Na even turned her bag upside down, only to find some office materials, spare cosmetics, and a few hundred yuan of pocket money, but nothing else.
Wang Na immediately screamed, looking at Li Ni, wanting to eat her: "What's the matter with you, you didn't bring me and your dad some money when you got home? You clearly knew that life at home was difficult, but you didn't say anything
To use money to support the family? What use do I need from a white-eyed wolf like you?"
Li Ni sneered: "Mom, don't you blush when you say this? I basically give you my monthly salary and bonus. Don't you go to the bank to check the account on the 15th of every month? I have it in my hand
But I didn’t keep a penny privately, I gave it all to you, and I only have a few hundred yuan for living expenses, what else do you want?”
Wang Na poured out everything in Li Ni's bag, and put all the cash into her pocket as quickly as possible, leaving not a cent for Li Ni.
Then, she took out a shabby cloth bag from the drawer and put Li Ni's things in it, but kept her LV bag.
"This bag is pretty good-looking. I went to a second-hand store to sell it to get some money, and then I will go back to help your brother. He has been suffering in prison. As a sister, you, as a sister, can help him more. Anyway, you have a lot of bags.
