Mi Qi held Yanyan's hand and walked on the way to Xixi Kindergarten.
This time is usually their mother-son bonding time.
Yanyan would talk about what happened in school today, and Miqi would also tell him how her day was.
Although Mickey pretended to be relaxed, the words she asked were quite abrupt.
Yan Yan was stunned when he heard this and turned to look at her.
Mi Qi couldn't stand her son's gaze and waved her hand: "What if, let's chat casually. The teacher also said it, right? Things are unpredictable. Who knows what will happen the next day, right?"
Although Yanyan is only nine years old, children these days are precocious.
Mi Qi felt that this topic was not too much to discuss with Yan Yan.
"There are classmates in our class whose parents are divorced." Yan Yan looked forward and muttered, "But I don't like my parents getting divorced. If I get divorced, I will have a new father and a new mother. What if they treat me badly? What to do? Then am I going to separate from Xixi? And mom, you don’t go to work, and you have to rely on your husband to make a living, then you can ensure that your new husband is as good to you as your father? "
"..."
Sure enough, today's children are all precocious and have such wide-ranging thinking.
"Do you think Dad is very good to Mom?" Mi Qi felt sour in her heart. In the eyes of the child, Jiang Si was very good to her, so her grievances and unhappiness really became her one-man show.
"Well... at least my father doesn't take the initiative to quarrel with my mother. He also pays her money on time every month and comes home every day. My classmate's father doesn't come home all year round. He always says that he is busy outside in meetings and business trips. But dad is also very busy." Yan Yan said without thinking.
Mickey nodded bitterly.
Look, in this society, no matter who it is, the demands placed on fathers and mothers are naturally unequal.
"So you think it's not hard for your mother to cook and wash clothes for you at home every day without making money, and that's how it should be, right?"
Mickey's tone was not questioning, but Yan Yan still caught the change in the atmosphere of the conversation and closed her mouth.
When we arrived at the kindergarten, the teacher was already standing at the door, sending the children to meet their parents after school.
Mickey meets Shirley's mother.
When their eyes met, Mi Qi saw that Xue Li's mother looked embarrassed, and then took the initiative to step forward and greet her: "Xi Xi's mother, I'm sorry, it's about the case..."
"There's nothing I'm sorry about. I gave you my husband's business card in the hope that you would have one more choice. As long as your affairs can be handled well." Mickey quickly interrupted her apology, "How about it? When will the verdict be announced? "
Xueli's mother breathed a sigh of relief after being forgiven. "The evidence is conclusive. There is no dispute that he is at fault. Now it is a question of money. Her father begged me not to put too harsh a price on the past relationship between husband and wife."
"Love between husband and wife? Why didn't he think about love between husband and wife when he was looking for a mistress?!" Mickey frowned, "Mom Xue Li, if you are soft-hearted, you are being cruel to yourself!"
Mi Qi was obviously a little excited, and her unconsciously raised voice startled both Xueli's mother and Yan Yan.
"Mother……"
"I'm sorry." Mickey came to her senses and stroked her hair in a panic, fearing that Xueli's mother would see any clues, "I'm excited."
"It's okay, I know you are doing it for my own good." While the two were talking, little Xueli ran out and sweetly called her mother. Xueli's mother turned to look at her child and said with emotion, "He is Xueli after all. I will always have to see my father in the future, and I don’t want my child to become a victim of adult discord.”
Mickey turned her head and felt that Xueli's mother was much older than the last time she saw her.
Xixi also came out. Mi Qi took Xixi's hand and prepared to take a taxi on the side of the road, but Dou Yian's car honked at her.
"Lawyer Dou, are you looking for Xueli's mother? She has already picked up the child and left."
Dou Yian nodded and said gently: "Really? That's really unfortunate."
"You want to go home? I'll give you a ride."
"No need..." Mickey's refusal was faster than getting out of the car and opening the door.
The way he smiled reminded Mi Qi of her rude words to him in the mall, so she had no choice but to leave the decision to Yanyan and Xixi.
"This is Uncle Dou, your father's colleague. Do you want to take Uncle Dou's car home?"
The two siblings nodded unconcernedly and scrambled to get into the back seat.
Naturally, Mickey also had to take care of the children in the back seat.
Dou Yian looked at Mi Qi who was not in a good mood in the rearview mirror and asked proactively: "Do you mind listening to the music station?"
Mickey took two seconds to realize that the person was asking her, and shook her head.
Dou Yian opened the button and "Happy Breakup" by Liang Jingru was played.
This is considered an old song now.
"Happy breakup, I wish you happiness, you can find a better one..."
Liang Jingru's warm voice sounded subtly in the car.
Mickey looked in the rearview mirror and met someone who was looking in the rearview mirror at the same time.
Mickey frowned slightly.
what's the situation? Did you play it to me on purpose?
Dou Yian looked forward and changed songs silently.
It's just a coincidence, I really didn't mean to show it to you.
"Lawyer Dou, do you have much contact with our Lao Jiang?"
"It's not bad. We are the vice presidents of the Rongcheng Lawyers Association. We sometimes meet up for meetings and dinners, or to connect with clients."
Mickey concluded: "That means we have a personal relationship."
"It seems Jiang Lu talks about me a lot? What does he say about me?" Dou Yian turned his head as he waited for the traffic light to turn green.
This question was quite tricky, and Mi Qi followed suit by using a question instead of answering: "What does Lawyer Dou think Lao Jiang will say about you?"
Seeing that Mi Qi didn't want to answer, Dou Yi'an looked forward with a smile: "Jiang Lu is an arrogant and perfectionist person. If you live with such a person, your partner will have to bear a lot. Ms. Mi, thank you for your hard work. "
Mickey glanced at him again.
I have to admit that he is very good at talking and empathizing with others. There is room for careful consideration in his seemingly bland words.
With the children around, Mi Qi no longer had in-depth discussions with Dou Yian.
Just listening to the music and watching the scenery outside the car window move back.
Dou Yian sent them to the gate of the community.
At Mickey's signal, the children bowed to Dou Yian: "Thank you, uncle."
Mi Qi asked Yan Yan to take the first step.
"Thank you for the cake last time."
"You're welcome."
"Lawyer Dou, do you know something?" Mickey got straight to the point.
"What do you mean?"
Mickey hesitated for a moment, and the courage she finally summoned was gone.
She said after careful consideration: "It's nothing, I just thought there was something in what you said in the mall that day. I'm a housewife, so I'm definitely not as well-informed as you, so I just asked."
Mi Qi reminded her tactfully, thinking that if a smart person like Dou Yian really knew something and wanted to say it, he would say it. If he didn't want to say it, she wouldn't say anything substantively.
When adults speak and do things, it is self-evident to a certain extent.
In the dark of night, they happened to be standing in the yellow halo of the street lamp.
Mi Qi could clearly see the subtle expression changes on Dou Yian's face.
Mickey expected what he would say but was afraid of what he would say.
"Jiang Lu, he..."
"Dou Yian?"
A car stopped nearby and Jiang Si got out of the car.
Mickey turned her head and saw his official smile, and looked away in disgust.
"Dou Lu know my wife?" Jiang Si hugged Mi Qi's shoulders and looked at Mi Qi and then at Dou Yian. "You look very close, may I know what to talk about?"
"I'm going to pick up clients from the kindergarten and give them a ride." Dou Yian explained to Jiang Si calmly, then opened the door and prepared to get in the car.
"Don't leave, come to my house for a casual meal. My wife's craftsmanship is very good." Jiang Si acted like a loving couple with Mickey.
Midge's face darkened and she hated the truth.
Dou Yi'an smiled slightly: "Next time."
As the car left, Mi Qi pushed Jiang Si's hand away.
Jiang Si frowned.
