"After all these years of relationship, how can I be willing to divorce you, Yiren." Li Jianye said affectionately, and tried to reach out to touch Tao Yiren's face.
Tao Yiren knocked his hand away weakly, "What you can't bear to part with is your future and wealth. Stop pretending and get out. Get out of here."
"Don't be so excited, it won't be good for your illness." Li Jianye tucked her in gently, playing the role of a considerate husband as always.
"What? You've been pretending for so long that you can't take off your mask?" Taoyiren smiled sarcastically.
Li Jianye's expression changed, "I don't know what is good or bad."
Seeing Li Jianye walking away angrily, Tao Yiren laughed and beat the bed.
It's really ironic, she had a fight with her father over something like this.
What now? But we have ended up like this.
Fortunately, she sent her daughter Tao Xin away, which is the only thing she is happy about.
Tao Xin, who was far away across the ocean, received a call, "Cousin, this is Yiming. The shop left by my grandmother has been rented out. I have received five thousand in rent. Please give me an account and I will remit it to you.
"
"Okay, I will visit my aunt when I have time. Are you coming back after the holiday?"
"Okay, I'll contact you then."
Tao Xin felt a little uncomfortable after hanging up the phone. She had been studying abroad for two years. Every time she said she wanted to go home, her mother always disagreed for various reasons.
At first she didn't feel anything, but over time, no matter how slow she was, she felt something was abnormal.
She must take time to return to China to see what is going on at home.
Although her father passed away when she was very young, her mother never let her feel the lack of love. Her mother was both father and mother by herself. She could accompany her in doing crafts and also be able to help her when she was bullied.
Come forward when the time comes.
Her mother put her first in everything, and she seriously asked her opinion when she got married. It wasn't until she truly accepted her stepfather and got along well with him that her mother relented and agreed to the proposal.
Moreover, her stepfather was really kind to her when she was a child. He would tie her hair in pigtails, play shuttlecock with her, attend her parent-teacher meetings, take her to the amusement park, and ride the childish merry-go-round with her.
Later, as she grew up, she spent less and less time at home, and her stepfather became busier and busier at work, so the relationship between the two became slightly unfamiliar.
Especially in the two years since she was studying abroad, her stepfather had rarely contacted her.
However, her stepfather is really good to her mother, and his heart is all about her. If her mother asks him to go east, he will never go west, so she can leave her mother to her stepfather and go abroad with peace of mind.
It's just that we haven't seen each other for two years, and I don't know what happened. I always feel that the two of them are weird now.
Thinking of this, Tao Xin simply called home.
After dialing the phone, it rang several times before being picked up. The person who answered the phone was Aunt Liu, an elderly person at home.
Tao Xin asked indirectly, "Aunt Liu, tell me the truth. Is everything okay at home?"
Aunt Liu frowned and was very embarrassed. She didn't know how to tell the young lady that a young master had come to the house. He said he was his uncle's biological son, which made the young lady very angry.
Aunt Liu hesitated for a moment. Tao Xin wanted to ask more questions, but the phone had already been taken away by Tao Yiren who came downstairs to drink water.
"Xinxin, what time is it over there, haven't you rested yet?" Tao Yiren said softly.
"Mom, why does your voice sound different?"
"The weather temperature has been unstable recently. It has been hot and cold. I accidentally caught a cold. What about you, how is the weather over there?"
"It's pretty good here. The temperature has been low and stable. I'm wrapped up like a bear."
Tao Yiren smiled softly, "We Xinxin are still beautiful even if we are wrapped up in bears. Wear more clothes and don't get sick. It's very uncomfortable when you get sick. You know, take care of yourself when you are abroad? Mom will remit some money to you."
Bar."
"Mom, why have you been sending me money lately? I have so much money that I can't spend it all. Aren't you afraid that I'll buy a house here and never go back?" Tao Xin said tentatively.
After all, when I went abroad, my mother gave me countless warnings: I must return home after my studies and serve the motherland, and I must not let capitalism blind me, otherwise my mother would fly to the other side of the ocean to personally capture her.
"That's okay. It's pretty good over there. The economy is developing rapidly and wages are high. Check out how much it costs to buy a house recently. Mom will send it to you." Tao Yiren said, pretending not to care.
Tao Xin was horrified. Something must have happened at home, otherwise her mother would not have reacted this way.
She resisted the urge to question and asked casually, pretending to be chatty, "How is my grandpa's health lately?"
"He is still the same, neither good nor bad. He lives in a nursing home. He doesn't want to live with me at all. It's not like you don't know how stubborn your grandpa is. I can't persuade him anyway. You have
Just give him a call."
Something is wrong. Normally, my mother would say, wait until you come back to criticize the stubborn old man.
"I know my grandpa. He has loved me since I was a child. He will definitely listen to me. I will call him later to persuade him. By the way, what about Uncle Li, has he been very busy with work recently? He has not contacted me for a long time." Tao
Xin said while holding back tears.
"Your Uncle Li is still the same. He's busy with work. It's not like you don't know. Maybe he's forgotten because he's busy." Tao Yiren said in a few words.
Tao Xin was basically certain that the problem lay with her stepfather. The way her mother mentioned her stepfather was not right. She was not as warm as before, and there was no intimacy between husband and wife. Instead, she seemed to be talking about a stranger.
"Okay, then you tell my Uncle Li and tell him to take care of his health no matter how busy he is at work.
By the way, Xiao Ming called me today and said that the shop left by grandma for me has been rented out. Do you think I should go back and have a look?"
"Isn't it all left to Xiao Ming to take care of it? The shop won't run on its own. It doesn't matter whether you look at it or not. It would be great if Xiao Ming remits the rent to you on time. Xiao Ming, that kid, you
Don’t worry yet.” Tao Yiren joked.
"I don't have anything to worry about Fang Yiming. I can rest assured that he is straight-minded and won't turn around. I'm the only one who can cheat him. Xiaoming will never cheat me." Tao Xin smiled.
said.
"Okay, okay, Mom can't help you. You should rest quickly. I have something else to do, so I won't tell you anymore. You should be busy with your homework. If you can't get an A this semester, I will fly
Go over and take good care of you."
"Mom, please take care of yourself." Tao Xin said the last sentence and hung up the phone first.
Tao Yiren wiped the tears on his face and looked at the person coming in at the door with an unkind look.
