She always thought that her parents had a good relationship. She had never seen them quarreling. She never thought that one day, something would happen between her father and her mother.
Lin Xi wanted to believe her father and told herself that a few photos could not prove anything. It was possible that, like the photos of her mother and Liang Peng, someone deliberately staged the photo to offend someone and try to sow discord between her parents.
But those photos were obviously taken secretly and not staged.
It was already late at night when the mother and daughter returned home, and Lin Siqin had not returned yet.
Shen Yixin seemed to have no such person at home, her expression was as usual.
"You don't need to ask for leave tomorrow. This little problem of mine is not a big deal." Shen Yixin said.
I have other things to do, and I didn't ask for leave specifically because of you. "Lin Xi smiled.
"I have an appointment tomorrow." Shen Yixin said, paused, and looked at Lin Xi who hesitated to speak.
"What's wrong, Mom?" Lin Xi asked quickly.
"You're older, I should let you know some things in advance." Shen Yixin's voice was not loud, but every word was clear. "I will divorce your father, and it probably won't take more than a month."
Lin Xi paused for a moment, looking at her mother's pale but extremely firm face, and hesitated for a long time before speaking.
"Mom, do you know everything?"
Shen Yixin smiled, with a bit of sarcasm and a bit of self-deprecation.
"Wang Xiaobei has brought all the paternity tests. Is there anything else I don't know?"
Paternity Testing?
Wang Xiaobei?
Lin Xi looked at Shen Yixin from blank to shocked, and spoke in disbelief.
"Mom, you mean..."
"Of course I won't believe her so easily." Shen Yixin remained calm. "You don't have to worry about this, I will find out. I don't want to believe that I have been living in an illusion for so many years."
Wang Xiaobei, who is currently intern, is at least 22 or 23 years old. If the paternity test is true, then this illusion will take a long time.
"Okay!" Seeing that Lin Xi still couldn't accept it, Shen Yixin patted Lin Xi gently. "Go to bed first, I'm sleepy too."
Lin Xi nodded and walked to her bedroom. After taking two steps, she turned back.
"Mom, we're divorced. If you don't want to live here, just move back to your old house!"
The house she lives in now was left to her mother by her grandparents, and it was also the place where her family first lived.
It was just renovated a few years ago and is still very comfortable to live in.
Shen Yixin smiled at Lin Xi.
"Don't worry! Your mother is not that fragile."
Lin Xi nodded.
She can accept her parents' divorce, but she just can't accept that her father has lied to her mother for so many years!
Twenty-five years! !
How many twenty-five years can there be in life! ! !
The next day, Lin Xi got up early.
When Shen Yixin woke up, she saw millet porridge, steamed dumplings and mixed vegetables in the kitchen. A flash of surprise flashed in her eyes, and then she smiled.
"You're so promising. You know how to cook for mom."
Lin Xi touched her nose with her hand, feeling a little embarrassed.
She doesn't know how to cook, but she can make porridge or something with a rice cooker.
As for the rest, buy of course.
The mother and daughter had a meal and rested for a while. Lin Xi asked to see a paternity test. Shen Yixin did not refuse. She gave her the portfolio and went to put on makeup and change clothes. She packed up and got ready to go out.
"I won't be back at noon. You can go back directly after finishing your work!" Shen Yixin said, putting the paternity test in her bag.
"Don't eat cold or spicy food!" Lin Xi couldn't help but be verbose.
It's easy to say that it's cold, I should be able to remember it. As for the spicy food, her mother would probably forget it easily as long as her stomach no longer hurts.
"I will never eat spicy food again." Shen Yixin vowed.
Lin Xi made a face at her mother.
"I've heard this sentence a thousand times!"
"Exaggeration!" Shen Yixin glared at Lin Xi and walked out.
"Hey, Sister Shen, Sister Shen, Sister Shen, medicine, medicine, medicine!" Lin Xi quickly stopped Shen Yixin, packed the medicine that Shen Yixin had just taken and put it there, and handed it over.
"Some should be eaten before meals, don't forget!"
"My daughter is really worried about her life." Shen Yixin took the medicine and sighed with a smile.
Neither of them mentioned the paternity test again, and Lin Xi didn't ask who her mother had dated.
As soon as Shen Yixin left, Lin Xi quickly contacted Feng Ke.
She originally asked for leave to accompany her mother, but now that her mother doesn't have to accompany her, she just wants to quietly visit the villa where Qin Yao lives.
Feng Ke immediately sent Lin Xi her location and told Lin Xi that Lu Bin would be waiting for her there.
Lin Xi took a taxi and arrived quickly.
Lu Bin was waiting at the west gate of the community, and walked with Lin Xi to the villa area where Qin Yao lived.
"She didn't go out today. She was sitting in the small garden basking in the sun. I know where is the best place to observe. Just don't worry and watch. I'll keep an eye on you."
"Thank you!" Linxi said.
"You're welcome." Lu Bin smiled a little shyly. "Feng Ke's friends are my friends."
Lin Xi smiled.
She had long known that Lu Bin was interested in Feng Ke, but Feng Ke didn't want to fall in love now and had rejected Lu Bin.
Lin Xi watched Lu Bin skillfully dig out two blue bricks from the wall of the villa courtyard, and couldn't help but ask in a low voice.
"Isn't this your masterpiece?"
Lu Bin smiled and shook his head, also lowering his voice.
"I guess it's Liang Peng."
Lin Xi was surprised.
Liang Peng and Qin Yao both grew up in an orphanage and were considered childhood sweethearts. It was normal to care about Qin Yao, but this kind of hidden concern in the dark was not normal.
Could it be that Liang Peng likes Qin Yao?
It's a pity that in the end, "you still become someone else's mistress."
Lin Xi sneered.
I still don’t know who I am!
The sun is just right, warm but not too hot, perfect for sunbathing. Qin Yao was wearing simple and loose home clothes, lying on a recliner, basking in the sun with her eyes closed.
The breeze blows, and there is a faint fragrance of flowers. It is really a quiet time.
It’s just that these stolen years are quiet and good, I don’t know how long they can last!
A fat woman about fifty years old came out of the villa, carrying a tray in her hand. On the tray were a bunch of grapes, two slices of watermelon, and a glass of... it should be milk.
The woman placed the tray on the small round table next to the lounge chair and whispered something.
Qin Yao smiled slightly and said nothing. She just took a few sips from the cup and waved the woman away.
Lin Xi used the telescope Lu Bin gave her and looked at it intently for more than ten minutes.
Qin Yao is not pretty, her eyes are not big, the bridge of her nose is not straight enough, her eyebrows are sparse, barely half in length, and the only facial feature that can be called "good-looking" is her small and delicate mouth.
The skin is actually very good, white, tender and delicate, full of collagen.
Nothing unusual.
Lin Xi watched Lu Bin put the bricks away and returned the telescope to Lu Bin.
"Who was that fat woman just now?" Lin Xi asked as the two walked out.
Didn't see it in the photo.
"It's the nanny who takes care of Qin Yao. Her surname is Zhang. I met her yesterday and chatted for a while. She went back to her hometown a few days ago and just came back." Lu Bin answered softly.
