Early the next morning, when Lin Yu got up, he heard Ren Lu talking on the phone in the living room.
"Mom, don't worry, I'm also thinking of a way. I will collect enough money for the surgery as soon as possible." Ren Lu sounded anxious. When she saw Lin Yu came out, she hung up the phone, "Okay, I won't tell you now. ”
Lin Yu thought for a while and then asked tentatively, "Is a family member going to have surgery?"
"Yes." Ren Lu's eyes were a little red, and she reluctantly twitched the corners of her mouth, "I've made breakfast. Come and eat after you wash up."
"Thank you." Lin Yu went to wash up briefly.
The breakfast on the table was very simple but tasted good, but Ren Lu obviously couldn't eat it.
"How much is the remaining cost for the operation?" Lin Yu took the initiative to ask. Although they had only known each other for a few days, she felt that she was very close to Ren Lu and wanted to help.
Ren Lu quickly shook her head, "It's not much different, I can handle it myself, thank you."
"It doesn't matter, I have tens of thousands of dollars, and I don't need it now." Lin Yu still wanted to help.
But Ren Lu still refused, "No, really, thank you."
This is the difference between people. Ren Lu and the man downstairs are obviously very different.
The two of them finished breakfast together and went to the company.
On this day, Ren Lu basically took Lin Yu. At noon, Lin Yu wanted to invite Ren Lu to dinner, but Ren Lu also refused.
Lin Yu noticed that Ren Lu ate very simply, obviously saving money.
This woman is really too strong, and I don’t know who in the family is going to do the surgery.
When they got off work in the evening, it was already past eight o'clock. The two returned to the apartment. When they reached the third floor, they saw Xiao Meimei standing in the security door again.
Lin Yu glanced at Ren Lu, who nodded, then took out the key and opened the security door.
"Meimei, would you like to go to Auntie's house and play for a while?"
"Is that okay?" Xiao Meimei was obviously looking forward to it, but she also seemed to be afraid of causing trouble for others.
"Okay, we welcome you." Lin Yu said with a smile.
Xiao Meimei secretly went to see Ren Lu.
"Okay, let's go and let Aunt Lin hold your hand." Ren Lu smiled.
Xiao Meimei felt relieved now, showed a happy smile, and followed Lin Yu upstairs.
"I'm preparing dinner." As soon as she entered, Ren Lu made arrangements, "Lin Yu, give this child a bath."
"Okay." It was exactly what Lin Yu wanted.
Lin Yu changed his clothes and took Xiao Meimei into the bathroom. "Xiao Meimei, take off your clothes. Can Auntie help you take a bath?"
Xiao Meimei nodded.
But when Lin Yu went to help her take off her clothes, she was obviously repelled and her whole body was very stiff.
"Meimei, you have to take off your clothes to take a bath. Auntie will help you wash your clothes later." Lin Yu used a little force and suddenly saw an injury on little Meimei's back.
Her whole body froze instantly.
Little Meimei almost shrank into a ball, standing there motionless, lowering her head hard.
Lin Yu took a few deep breaths before he managed to speak, "Meimei, be good, auntie will be gentler, okay?"
Xiao Meimei nodded again. This time, she was much more cooperative than before.
As the little guy took off his clothes little by little, Lin Yu saw more and more scars on his arms, legs, back... everywhere, which was a bit shocking.
Some of these scars look new, while others seem to be from a long time ago.
Lin Yu's eyes turned red instantly. She didn't know what this child had gone through.
She pulled Xiao Meimei into her arms, but she didn't dare to hug her hard. She felt so uncomfortable that she didn't know what to do.
"Auntie, Meimei doesn't hurt, it doesn't hurt at all." The little guy is so good.
Lin Yu sniffed and held back tears, "Meimei, the injuries on your body were... caused by your father?"
Little Meimei hesitated for a moment, then nodded, and immediately explained, "Dad sometimes misses mom too much, and it gets worse after drinking... But Meimei doesn't blame dad."
Lin Yu couldn't hold back his tears for a moment. The child in front of him was so well-behaved and pitiful.
But she was just a passer-by and couldn't do anything.
While helping Meimei take a bath, she asked, "Meimei, do you remember mom?"
Perhaps the child's mother had no choice but to leave at that time. Perhaps this mother would be the child's only hope.
Little Meimei shook her head. When she had memories, her mother was gone.
Lin Yu refused to give up, "Didn't mom leave her phone number or any contact information?"
Xiao Meimei shook her head again.
It’s so strange. Did this mother really abandon Meimei so cruelly?
Lin Yu asked again, "What about dad? Has he ever mentioned mom? For example, what does she look like? Or something else?"
Xiao Meimei thought seriously for a while before answering, "Dad said... Mom is a bad woman and doesn't want us anymore. She said she... ran away secretly."
"But Meimei doesn't believe it, but Meimei believes that mom will come back to see Meimei one day." The little guy looked at Lin Yu innocently with big eyes, "Auntie, are you right?"
"Yes, your mother will definitely come back to see you." Lin Yu coaxed softly.
After giving Meimei a bath, Ren Lu's dinner was also prepared. The two adults and one child ate together. It was already ten o'clock.
Lin Yu didn't hear any sound from downstairs. Apparently the man hadn't come back yet.
"Meimei, do you want to sleep with auntie?" she asked tentatively.
"Is that okay?" Little Meimei is very beautiful after taking a bath. Although she is very thin, her eyebrows can tell that she will be a great beauty in the future.
"Of course, Auntie likes Meimei very much and wants to sleep with Meimei." Lin Yu could feel that this child was always very cautious.
Ren Lu smiled beside her, "Don't tell me, you two are a bit similar."
"Really?" Lin Yu looked at Meimei carefully, and it seemed that she did, "This is probably fate."
She asked again, "Meimei is willing to stay?"
"Okay." Xiao Meimei was very happy and couldn't help hugging Lin Yu's neck.
Lin Yu wrote a note and put it on the coffee table left behind, so that even if the man came back, he wouldn't be anxious because he couldn't find Meimei.
Although, Lin Yu vaguely felt that if a man couldn't find Meimei, he wouldn't be too anxious.
At the same time, the man was wandering under an extremely gorgeous commercial building. He called over and over again, and the other party finally answered.
"What on earth do you want to do? I said, five million, I will call you within three days!" came a voice with gritted teeth from the other side.
"I want to see you!" The man said straight to the point.
"impossible!"
"You just disappeared and took away my passport and ID card, turning me into a black man who could not return to my country. Do you know how I came here in the past two years?"
The other person said nothing.
The man gritted his teeth and said, "Lin Meizhi, don't be too cruel. If you dare to come back, you should have expected to meet me. This is God's will!"
