Ye Mingze was a little embarrassed and a little angry. Zhu Tianlei always spoke straightforwardly. He might be said to be arrogant, but he couldn't see the contempt in his eyes. He might be said to be unkind, but his grandfather and sister often talked about him.
.
In any case, now that Ye Mingze had come out, he had already made up his mind, so he didn't think much, went around, opened the back seat door, and sat in.
He didn't really want to sit in the passenger seat, and when driving his own car, he clearly understood that his current condition was not suitable for driving, so sitting in the back seat was probably the best option.
"Keep going north."
After exiting Dingxiang Street, Ye Mingze pointed in the direction without saying where it was. Zhu Tianlei didn't mind. After all, it was just a road running from north to south, either south or north.
But the car drove all the way to the northern suburbs, and Ye Mingze didn't stop or change direction. Going further, there was the crematorium.
"Turn around from here."
Just when Zhu Tianlei thought that Ye Mingze was going to ask him to drive the car to the crematorium, Ye Mingze spoke. Turning around, he saw a very dilapidated alley, a bit like the Majia Hutong where Zhu Tianlei went to find Zhou Qiang. Even
To be more dilapidated.
There are small alleys inside each other. As soon as you pass through one, the car will not be able to pass through.
"Get out of the car, we can't get into the car."
As soon as the car stopped, Ye Mingze jumped out and walked inside without waiting for Zhu Tianlei to react.
Zhu Tianlei followed Ye Mingze, walked around several small alleys, and finally stopped at a door.
"My mother is not in good health right now, please don't irritate her."
Ye Mingze looked back at Zhu Tianlei.
"I'm looking for Xiaoshan."
Zhu Tianlei answered Ye Mingze sideways.
Tuk-tuk-tuk.
Ye Mingze knocked on the door.
"Who?"
Within a few seconds, a woman's voice came from the yard.
"Mom, it's me."
"Mingze!"
The footsteps in the yard quickened, and the door opened with a clatter.
Liu Shuang was wearing a smoky gray cardigan sweater and a pair of black trousers, with her hair casually combed into a bun. Although she didn't look as noble as she did in the hospital, her temperament was still outstanding compared to women of the same age.
, together with this dilapidated yard, is like a pearl left in the garbage dump.
"Zhu Tianlei?"
Liu Shuang's face originally had a smile, but when he saw Zhu Tianlei standing behind Ye Mingze, his smile immediately solidified, but he did not show any anger or anything like that.
"Mom, he is here to see Xiaoshan."
Ye Mingze naturally grabbed Liu Shuang's arm, but his tone was stiff when he mentioned the word Xiaoshan.
"he is not at home."
Liu Shuang said calmly.
"I'll wait for him."
After finishing speaking, Liu Shuang walked into the yard first without waiting for Liu Shuang to speak.
"Mom, let's go in too!"
Ye Mingze did not stop Zhu Tianlei. Firstly, he knew that it would be useless to stop him. Secondly, he had long noticed that Xiaoshan was not normal. It seemed that after leaving the Ye family, Xiaoshan became more and more gloomy. He used to have a good relationship with Xiaoshan.
But compared with Ye Mingzhi and his biological mother who grew up with him, Xiaoshan's existence seems less important.
In fact, even without Zhu Tianlei, he had been looking for an opportunity to explore Xiao Shan's background. Zhu Tianlei's appearance just helped him solve this matter.
Zhu Tianlei took a look at the yard. It was not big, but it was very clean. There were also a few pots of flowers. Compared with the old and dilapidated environment around them, these pots of flowers looked particularly eye-catching, especially the two pots of cabbage chrysanthemums, which were bigger than the leaves.
The ones in the backyard of the family medical center are even more dazzling.
Zhu Tianlei glanced at Liu Shuang without any trace, and found that Liu Shuang and Ye Mingzhi's eyebrows were somewhat similar. Is it really because they were raised since childhood and had the appearance of mother and daughter?
"I'll wait here, you can do whatever you want."
Zhu Tianlei saw a few small benches in the yard, so he pulled one over and sat on it.
There is a washing tub next to it, with some clothes soaked in it. During this season, clothes are washed by hand in the yard. It is not easy to think that Liu Shuang, a woman who is used to being a wife, can live such a life now.
After Zhu Tianlei finished speaking, he looked away from the mother and son.
Liu Shuang was also very calm. He didn't even ask Zhu Tianlei why he came to Xiao Shan. He just talked to Ye Mingze in a low voice. Zhu Tianlei didn't listen intentionally, but he could still hear Liu Shuang saying that Ye Mingze had lost weight and looked haggard.
Then he asked Ye Mingze to take good care of himself, take care of Ye Mingzhi and listen to Mr. Ye, as if he was sincere and not like he was just saying it to Zhu Tianlei.
This Liu Shuang is really weird.
When he was pointed out by him for raising Gu insects, Liu Shuang acted very calmly and left calmly. It seemed that he had been mentally prepared for the outcome and did not feel any reluctance to leave the Ye family.
The sun is getting higher and the weather is getting warmer.
Outside the yard, footsteps finally sounded.
The conversation between Liu Shuang and Ye Mingze stopped. Zhu Tianlei also stood up from the bench. Ye Mingze glanced at Zhu Tianlei with a vague look, and then glanced in the direction of the courtyard gate.
The courtyard door was quickly opened.
Xiao Shan, still wearing a black leather jacket, walked in from the door.
"Zhu Tianlei, you..."
"When you see a guest at home, you turn around and leave. This is not the Chinese way of hospitality!"
The moment he saw Zhu Tianlei, Xiao Shan subconsciously wanted to leave, but Zhu Tianlei was so fast. Before Xiao Shan could exit the door, Zhu Tianlei had already reached the door first. As soon as he stretched out his hand, the door was closed with a crash.
"Mr. Ye, you and Mrs. Ye had better stay away."
Zhu Tianlei put a hand on Xiao Shan's shoulder, looked at Ye Mingze, and said lightly.
"Mom, let's go in, Zhu Tianlei won't do anything to him."
Liu Shuang still said nothing, just glanced at Xiao Shan, and then followed Ye Mingze into the house.
The reason why Zhu Tianlei never went in was to prevent Liu Shuang from tipping off Xiao Shan privately, but now it seems that he was overthinking it. Liu Shuang's attitude towards Xiao Shan was very cold, and he couldn't see Ye Mingze's affection for him at all.
arrive.
Xiao Shan did not show any disappointment or coldness about this.
What a strange family.
However, Zhu Tianlei was not in the mood to explore other people's family life. He needed to pry Xiao Shan's mouth open.
"Zhu Tianlei, you are really capable. You actually chased her home. What, are you venting your anger on Deng Jingjing or do you want to settle a score with me?"
Xiao Shan smiled, of course, it was still that sinister smile.
Except for the sad face he saw for the first time outside the hospital corridor, every time Zhu Tianlei saw Xiao Shan, he looked so gloomy.
"Tell me, who asked you to inquire about my whereabouts."
Zhu Tianlei didn't want to quarrel with Xiao Shan. Xiao Shan was not his opponent. The most important thing was that he was not in the mood. Mao Yu had already made progress, and this incident urged him to speed up his actions.
"Oh, so you're here to ask about this."
Xiao Shan smiled again, and opened his mouth, and his pair of tiger teeth could be seen clearly. In Zhu Tianlei's impression, people with tiger teeth generally have lively personalities and good natures, but here in Xiao Shan, it seems that
