Miao Jian looked at her back, chewed the bread in her mouth, lowered her head and went to drink porridge again.
Shao Xinghan finished the remaining porridge in the bowl in a few moments, walked straight to the balcony, took out his cell phone from his pocket, pressed it a few times, and then put the phone to his ear.
"When will you come back?" Shao Xing said in a cold voice.
"You care when I will come back?" The proud and indifferent expression on Shaoyao's face was clearly conveyed to Shao Xinghan through her voice.
Shao Xinghan was calm and put his hands in his pockets, "How much do you want your mother to worry about you?"
"Did I let her worry? It's her own fault." Shaoyao didn't give in even a step, her hand holding the phone was cold to the bone.
"I'll ask you again, when will you come back." Shao Xinghan endured his last temper, with a faint wrinkle on his brow.
"Don't care about me?" Shaoyao was still proud, with disdain in her tone.
As soon as she said this, the phone was hung up, and the rest was a busy tone.
Shaoyao's hand holding the mobile phone to her ear froze. She listened to the beeping busy tone and her mind went blank. Her face was pale because of too much makeup, and there was no blood at all.
Shao Xinghan rarely called her. So far in her memory, his brother had only called her twice. Including the one just now, there were only three calls in total.
Shaoyao used to send messages to Shao Xinghan whenever anything happened. In the past, Shao Xinghan would often send messages to her. Although he didn’t talk much, he would at least give her basic greetings. Shaoyao remembered that it was when she was promoted to junior high school.
When she was in the third grade of junior high school, Miao Jian accidentally broke her father's vase, which he bought at an auction for several million dollars. She remembered that her father Shao Yingzhuo's face was terrifyingly gloomy at that time.
Yao clenched her fists when she saw him, but in the end her father returned to the company without saying a word, and then did not come back for a week or two.
Shaoyao didn't understand at that time why no one in the family blamed her when Miao Jian made a mistake. It was as if it had never happened and no one mentioned it. But she knew that it had happened, because since then
, Dad never bought any antiques again. The paintings, porcelain, etc. he liked were all moved to the company's office.
She felt dissatisfied. Why should people who made mistakes be protected? Why didn't her father punish her and neither did her brother? Instead, he was extra kind to her and didn't even say anything to her mother, who was most biased towards her.
Shaoyao was filled with resentment. She told this matter everywhere and even promoted it to Miao Jian's grade, calling her a rotten child who broke a vase and refused to pay or apologize.
At that time, this incident was causing quite a stir, but it was actually nothing. But children can’t stand being bossed around by others, and they would collectively target a certain person when others said something. Miao Jian was criticized by her classmates in school because of this incident.
Miao Jian fell ill later, and she lay on the bed without saying anything. The Shao family had no choice but to suspend Miao Jian's schooling.
Shao Xinghan gradually learned the whole story, and he gradually became indifferent to Shaoyao. In the end, he was unwilling to say a word to her.
Shaoyao really didn't understand what she had done wrong. Why was Miao Jian not punished for her mistakes? She just punished her. What had she done wrong? Why was she the one who was punished in the end?
From that time on, her relationship with the family gradually faded away. She no longer clung to her brother, whom she loved to cling to the most. He also stopped talking to her and didn't even look at her.
Shaoyao really hopes that her brother can look at her and say a few gentle words to her, just like before, saying something as ordinary as "How are you doing lately?"
But Shao Xinghan didn't. Her mother was busy with the company all day and paid little attention to her. Her father was away talking about business all day, and sometimes he was not seen for weeks.
Shaoyao is like a wild child, no one cares about her, no one cares about her, her heart is growing wild and twisted, and she is getting further and further away from her family.
Shaoyao put down her phone, put on a bleak smile on her face, and chuckled twice.
She felt like a drowned dog, soaked all over and longing for someone to come and rescue her.
She struggled for a long time, but no one came. Some people watched her fall into the water but were indifferent. She had already sunk later, and the people closest to her remembered her and hurriedly came over to give her a hand, but by that time she was no longer struggling.
, she has become accustomed to the days of drowning in the water, and she does not need anyone to save her.
-
Miao Jian didn't know what Shao Xinghan was doing, but she felt that he had left for a while and then came back, his face as calm and untroubled as ever.
Miao Jian finished breakfast, and Shao Xinghan came to clean up the dishes. Miao Jian also helped to clean up. Miao Jian was preparing to take the packed dishes to the kitchen. She just took a step forward and Shao Xinghan said: "Bows
Give it to me, I'll wash it."
Miao Jian, who had been lowering his head, suddenly raised his head and met Shao Xinghan's gaze head on.
Shao Xinghan was thinking about something and didn't pay much attention to Miao Jian's movements. He only saw Miao Jian stunned and didn't hand the bowl to him.
"Give it to me, I'll wash it," he said again.
Miao Jian's eyes were misaligned with his, and the messy images in her mind seemed to pop up again. She quickly lowered her head and handed the bowl to Shao Xinghan.
Shao Xinghan took the bowl to the kitchen to wash it, while Miao Jian sat on the sofa and played with her mobile phone for a while.
Just as Shao Xinghan finished washing the dishes, Shao's mother came out of the room.
She put on makeup, not heavy, but it covered the blemishes on her face, the dark circles under her eyes were much lighter, and her complexion looked much better. She was holding a bag in her hand, which she carried on business trips all year round.
"I'm going to the company. I have news to tell me." She said as she walked, and then put on high heels at the door. She was a few centimeters taller and looked much more energetic.
"Mom, you don't have to rush to the company. Dad hasn't come back yet. You can wait until he comes back." Miao Jian stood up anxiously, still holding the phone in his hand.
"I forgot to tell you that your dad went out drinking last night. He has his own things to do when he comes back, so don't worry about him." Shao's mother stood by the door and held the door frame, as if saying her last goodbyes.
She seemed to have nothing to say. She lowered her head, then raised it again, and smiled: "I'm leaving, take care of yourself."
Miao Jian still had thousands of words stuck in her throat, so Shao Mu walked away on her high heels, leaving only the sound of her high heels hitting the ground.
Shao Xinghan didn't say a word from beginning to end. He knew Shao's mother Chen Lian's temper very well. Shaoyao was exactly the same as her. No matter what others said, he would not be shaken by the decision he had made.
