Li Xiang lost his composure immediately after hearing what Xiaodouzi said.
He quickly looked at Zhang Ling beside him and asked:
"Is this all true?"
Zhang Ling looked at Li Xiang and nodded.
Li Xiang put Xiaodouzi on the ground, grabbed Zhang Ling's shoulders with his excited hands and shouted:
"Why? Why didn't you tell the truth just now?"
He thought about what if Zhang Ling had told the truth just now.
I will definitely greet the old patriarch with my own hands for Xiaodouzi.
Zhang Ling asked:
"Do you think if I had told the truth at that time, our family of three would have been able to walk out of that yard safely?"
Li Xiang's brain was buzzing.
Suddenly!
It seemed that the surge of energy and blood in his chest completely overwhelmed his mind.
I just want to get an explanation for Xiaodouzi.
"No, I have to go back and kill that old bastard with my own hands!"
Zhang Ling looked at Li Xiang with scarlet eyes, turned around and walked quickly towards the old patriarch's courtyard.
Xiaodouzi seemed to see that Li wanted to fight with others.
At this time, I plopped down on the ground, shouted "Dad" and started crying.
Zhang Ling shouted to Li Xiang with a somewhat commanding tone:
"Li Xiang, come back here! You are stupid for fighting others on their territory!"
Perhaps it was Xiaodouzi’s cry that made Li Xiang soften.
Maybe he could tell from Zhang Ling's words that he held an important position in her mind.
He finally stopped and looked back at Zhang Ling.
Zhang Ling feels from the bottom of her heart that Li Xiang is a good father who is dedicated to his daughter.
Of course, she also saw that Xiaodouzi, who was sitting on the ground and crying, could no longer live without Li Xiang as his father.
For the sake of her daughter, she then said to him:
"Yes, even if it is for the safety of Xiaodouzi and I, and for the sake of our family, please calm down and don't be impulsive, okay?"
These words deeply awakened Li Xiang's reason.
Yes!
He is not alone.
At least he still has a family.
Therefore, he cannot act impulsively without any scruples.
He slowly walked towards Zhang Ling with steady steps, and said with a smile of enjoyment:
"Okay, I won't be impulsive anymore. But can you say what you just said to me again? I want to hear it."
Only then did Zhang Ling think through what she had just casually said.
Even she herself didn't expect to say these words.
Especially when he said those words, his tone was not only full of concern for Li Xiang, but also subconsciously believed that they were actually a family.
In order to avoid Li Xiang's request, she glanced at Xiaodouzi sitting on the ground, but cruelly did not immediately step forward to help her. Then she looked at Li Xiang and said:
"I said to Li Xiang, you are a bit incompetent as a father. Your daughter is sitting on the ground crying and calling your name, but you are thinking of teasing the child's mother with a smile."
"Teasing the child's mother? Hmm... This teasing is very good. I really like it." Li Xiang looked at Zhang Ling with a meaningful smile and said.
"Disgusting!" She subconsciously replied casually.
When he saw Zhang Ling blushing, he turned his head to the left uncomfortably and turned slightly to look at a locust tree in the distance.
Li Xiang only felt that her graceful figure at this moment made his heart beat the most.
If it weren't for the cries of Little Douzi beside him, he would have wanted to take a few more greedy glances.
Danmu.
After comforting Xiaodouzi, the three of them returned to the room.
Xiaodouzi ran to the table to ask for a drink of water because he was thirsty.
Probably crying is indeed a waste of body water.
The alert Zhang Ling noticed something strange in the room.
He walked a few steps quickly and held Xiaodouzi in his arms.
Because the half cup of tea originally placed on the table was gone, and the cup was still upside down on the plate.
What's even more bizarre is that the window is obviously closed, but the curtains on one side are obviously fluttering.
"Mom, Xiaodouzi is thirsty and needs some water!"
While Xiaodouzi was talking, he reached out and tried to touch the teacup on the table.
Li Xiang, who was standing aside, looked at her behavior of stopping Xiaodouzi and asked in confusion:
"What's wrong?"
Zhang Ling looked around the room solemnly and said:
"A guest came before the master returned. It's just that this guest seemed a little too ungrateful. Let's not talk about eating the master's food without permission. Why did you hide when the master returned?"
"Mom, what kind of guest is this? It's obvious that the home has been robbed. Call the police. We'd better call the police as soon as possible."
Li Xiang also quickly glanced around the room, as if he already knew who the "thief" was?
He picked up a solid wood chair and walked towards the wardrobe in the corner while obviously suppressing his smile and said:
"Ling'er, you were too polite to speak. Are there any guests? I didn't see them. However, our little Douzi is right. This is indeed a burglary at home, so please call the police."
"Okay, I'll call the police right now."
She understood the situation and took out her mobile phone, pretending to dial the police number.
The person who was hiding in the closet and taking a peek finally couldn't hold it in anymore.
He wanted to jump out to stop Zhang Ling from making a phone call, but found that Li Xiang had blocked the cabinet door with a chair.
"Hey, hey, it's me, it's me, I'm Chen Jian! Don't call, sister-in-law, please don't call." Chen Jian pushed the cabinet door a few times, but did not push it open, and shouted anxiously, "Li Xiang,
I’m here to give you something. Don’t be like this, let me out quickly.”
Chen Jian always treats Li Xiang's home as his own.
There are no rules for coming in and out.
If the hostess is the only one in the house, is it really okay for someone like Chen Jian to rush in when doing something private?
I'm afraid even brothers can't tolerate this kind of thing happening at this time.
At this time, it is normal for the male host to have a friendly and in-depth exchange with the intruder.
Li Xiang looked at their mother and daughter with a proud smile, like a child who had not grown up.
"Who are you? I heard you right. The little thieves are so rampant now! After being caught by the master, they dare to pretend to be the master's relatives and friends to defraud!"
Li Xiang has long wanted to cure Li Xiang's habit of breaking into his room without seeing anyone else.
Especially after getting close to Zhang Ling, this desire became even stronger.
Today happens to be a good opportunity.
Of course, he has another purpose for doing this.
The main thing is to make Xiaodouzi happy.
Let the children forget the terrifying experience of being locked up in a small dark room through laughter and laughter.
"Chen Jian, I am really Chen Jian!" Chen Jian shouted as loudly as he could, and then said in a pleading tone, "Li Xiang, brother Li Xiang, no, you are my brother. Please let me out.
Okay? It’s really depressing in here.”
Zhang Ling laughed out loud after hearing what I, Chen Jian, said.
She never imagined that she just made up a reason at random.
Now it has become a fact.
Chen Jian really came to see Li Xianglai.
But this way of meeting is indeed a bit special.
Only then did she feel relieved to let go of Xiaodouzi in her arms.
Then he personally poured a cup of tea for Xiaodouzi.
Xiaodouzi held the tea cup with both hands, looked up at Zhang Ling and said:
"Mom, why does the thief in the closet still call daddy and brother?"
Before Zhang Ling had time to answer, Xiaodouzi suddenly thought of something.
He looked at Li Xiang with a surprised look and continued:
"Oh... I finally know. Does dad still have the identity of a thief boss? That's why the thief in the closet is so afraid of dad."
Zhang Ling opened her eyes and looked at Xiaodouzi, and then looked at Li Xiang, whose smile was frozen and his face was ashen. She finally did not suppress her smile and burst out laughing.
Chen Jian in the cabinet kept repeating the three words "thief boss".
These three words continue to stimulate Li Xiang's angry nerves.
Li Xiang angrily slapped the cabinet with his hands.
Chen Jian in the cabinet couldn't bear it and quickly begged for mercy:
"Brother thief, please spare your life! No, no, Brother Li, please spare your life! You can't bully my brothers like this. Boss thief, your daughter said it first, not me, Chen Jian, how could you catch me so hard?"
Bullying alone?"
After drinking the water, looking at Li Xiang who was a little irritable, and hearing Chen Jian's instigation in the closet, Xiaodouzi was obviously a little scared.
He quickly hid behind Zhang Ling and stuck his head out and said:
"Mom, look, dad looks so scary. Did I just say the wrong thing again?"
Before Zhang Ling could speak, Chen Jian, who was a bit cynical, heard Xiaodouzi's question and shouted loudly:
"That's right! Xiaodouzi, you didn't..."
Li Xiang was a little confused!
He hasn't seen Xiaodouzi's happy smile yet.
Instead, I saw fear on Xiaodou’s face.
This made him even more worried.
So his body movements were a bit exaggerated, and he slammed his hand on the cabinet again and yelled:
"Quiet, quiet, give me some quiet!"
As long as it's not work, it would be great if Chen Jian was so obedient in life.
Chen Jian endured the noisy slapping sounds and said stubbornly:
"If you tell me to be quiet, I will be quiet. This makes me, Chen Jian, look more respectable."
Or maybe Li Xiang’s hand hurts and wants to rest;
Or maybe Chen Jian has what Li Xiang wants most, so he can confidently continue:
"Xiaodouzi, you did say the wrong thing. However, according to your way of thinking, I know that your name is Xiaodouzi and that you are the daughter of the thief boss. Do you think this means that Xiaodouzi is also a little thief?"
Li wanted to hear that Chen Jian didn't say anything outrageous.
His nervous heart temporarily calmed down a lot.
It seems that Xiaodouzi has encountered such a difficult logic problem for the first time.
Habitually touching her earlobes and thinking for a long time, she looked up at Zhang Ling again and said:
"Mom, what did that thief mean? Xiaodouzi didn't understand."
Did the little girl really not understand?
No!
The clever little guy seemed to have guessed Chen Jian’s intention.
So I'm pretending to be confused.
Chen Jian saw Xiaodouzi's subtle expression when he was thinking through the gap, and wanted to praise Xiaodouzi for being a bit as wise as Li Xiang.
The result surprised him a bit.
Xiaodouzi thought for a long time and finally said this.
Little did they know that the little girl just didn't want an outsider to reveal her deep and astute thoughts.
Chen Jian, who has always been an observer, has no choice but to admire Li Wanwan who is outside the closet:
"Brother, your daughter is definitely a talent!"
"How do you say that?" Li Xiang asked doubtfully.
Chen Jian smiled without saying anything, and then said:
"You will understand this later. However, Li Xiang, are you sure you don't want to let me out? I have a signed document here that I want to express to my brother. Then I can only convey the contents of the document to you in the cabinet." p>
Li Xiang felt the air in the room solidify immediately after listening.
He saw Zhang Ling walking slowly with a strange smile and asked:
"What documents did this person who called you Miss Brother send you? I'm also very interested in knowing about it. Chen Jian, tell me!"
She thinks this vixen is probably Shangguan Aoxue.
She is more curious about the contents of the file than this.
There was an obvious sound of tearing the seal of documents from the cabinet.
Then Chen Jian said with a little excitement:
"Okay, sister-in-law, since you want to hear it, I will risk my life to tell you..."
Before he finished speaking, Li Xiang opened the cabinet door.
Chen Jian happened to take advantage of the weak light in the gap to get closer to the document and read the text as hard as he could.
Li Xiang snatched the document into his hand before Chen Jian could react, with a nervous look on his face that sounded like a guilty conscience.
Because this kind of document was sent by none other than Zhen Li.
It would be bad if the secret of his substitute was mentioned in the document.
Li Xiang's reaction made Zhang Ling even more curious!
This further supports her suspicion.
She obviously guessed a little bit weirdly and said:
"What kind of document is this for you? Look at how nervous you are. It feels like I have sent you a document about your hidden marriage. That's why you are so afraid of being seen by me."
After saying this, she felt a little regretful.
I secretly blamed myself for why I said these words?
She can feel the strong jealousy even listening to it.
Chen Jian on the side walked out of the cabinet, not forgetting to add another blow and said:
"Sister-in-law, you are such a genius! I remember that there seemed to be a lot of words about marriage in the document."
Li Xiang is anxious!
This matter will be ignited by Chen Jian again.
Zhang Ling's misunderstanding of him will definitely become deeper and deeper.
If it weren't for the fact that Xiaodouzi was still there, he would have wanted to slap Chen Jian directly.
So he could only wink at the talkative Chen Jian and scold loudly:
"Shut up! If you stop saying a few words, no one will treat you like a mute. Go away and stay away, and stop trying to create a sense of presence here."
After speaking, Li Xiang was obviously avoiding everyone, walked to another corner of the room, and quickly scanned the contents of the document.
He just wanted to quickly understand what the document said.
Chen Jian failed to satisfy his parents' wishes recently and successfully brought Yan Yuan back for a family dinner.
His parents have united all relatives to isolate him.
In addition, the relationship between Li Xiang and Zhang Ling seems to be in full swing.
Li Xiang has no time to talk to Chen Jian.
This makes Chen Jian, who is jealous, have no sense of existence recently.
I finally found an opportunity to increase my presence.
How could Chen Jian let it go so easily?
Therefore, regarding Li Xiang’s wink, he simply pretended that he didn’t see it and still said steadfastly:
"Sister-in-law, it's true! I, Chen Jian, can swear to God that I will never lie."
Zhang Ling had successfully suppressed the overwhelming jealousy.
After watching the two brothers' performance, she glanced at the document in Li Xiang's hand, looked at Chen Jian and said with a bit of sourness:
"Forget it! Whether I believe it or not seems to be of no use to someone. Even if someone really wants to abandon us mother and daughter, I, Zhang Ling, will never say a word to save them. Just let it happen."
The clever little Douzi understood the meaning of Zhang Ling's words.
I saw her shaking herself up and summoning up the courage to come to Li Xiang. She pulled the skirt of her clothes with her little hands and said:
"Dad, Dad, they all say that Xiaodouzi is a dragster. So are you planning to leave mom because of Xiaodouzi?"
Li Xiang leaned over and looked at Xiaodouzi and asked:
"Molly! Xiaodouzi, where did you hear this word? Tell me!"
Xiaodouzi did not answer Li Xiang's question, but shook his head with tears in his eyes and continued:
"If this way Xiaodouzi can stay with the dean's mother forever. I just ask you not to leave Zhang Ling's mother, okay? Because mommy really likes you. Xiaodouzi is not willing to be a bad boy who ruins the happiness of his parents." p>
Listening to Xiaodouzi's words, everyone present felt a sense of bitterness.
In particular, two bitter tears ran down the cheeks of Zhang Ling and Li Xiang almost at the same time.
