Half an hour later, Deng Xiaoqi returned home.
"Xiaoqi, you are back."
After the nanny Aunt Liu said hello cordially, she suddenly noticed that her face was flushed: "Hey, have you been drinking?"
Deng Xiaoqi nodded and went straight to her room without explaining.
"Your mother is back and is on the phone in the house."
Aunt Liu wanted to remind her that God knew if Deng Xinhua would be angry when she saw her daughter drinking, so she could be mentally prepared.
After hearing this, Deng Xiaoqi paused and did not go to her bedroom. Instead, she turned around and went to Deng Xinhua's room.
"Okay, let me contact you about this when I get back."
As soon as I opened the door, I saw the mother smiling and saying, "We'll talk about it when you come back."
The voice on the other end of the phone...yes, it was Lin Yue.
Deng Xiaoqi immediately became angry: "Who are you calling?"
Deng Xinhua glanced at her, did not answer the question, and continued talking to the person on the phone.
Deng Xiaoqi asked again, and the volume was louder: "I want to ask who you are calling."
"Then let's do this for now." Deng Xinhua hung up the phone and said with a hint of impatience: "What's the matter with you? Didn't you see that I was on the phone?"
"Are you calling Lin? Is it him?" Deng Xiaoqi said in a questioning tone.
Deng Xinhua frowned: "Have you been drinking?"
As someone who frequented banquets and wine venues, she could certainly tell her daughter's state. The way she looked now, she was probably not even drunk.
"Didn't you say you were having a party with your classmates? Why did you drink so much wine?"
Originally, a bottle of RIO wine wasn't very strong, but Lin Miaomiao scolded her a few times, and she lost her temper with Jiang Tianhao downstairs at the KTV. The cold wind aroused her, and the wine got to her head. When she got home, she heard Deng Xinhua again. How could Deng Xiaoqi remain calm while calling that annoying guy?
In her opinion, Lin Yue ruined her reputation, robbed her of her mother, and now provoked her best friend Lin Miaomiao into conflict with her. This was simply too much bullying.
She shook off Deng Xinhua's hand that wanted to help her.
"Don't contact him. Don't contact him from now on." She took half a step back and hit the closet door: "I want you to sever ties with him, do you hear me?"
"Deng Xiaoqi!"
Deng Xinhua was also irritated by her: "Look at you now, do you look a bit like a student? I don't know what happened at the party, but I can say responsibly that the person you mentioned is in the African savannah and something is wrong. Putting the blame on others when nothing happens is a disease that needs to be cured."
"You are the one who is sick!" Deng Xiaoqi pointed at her and yelled: "You know that I hate him, but you still want to associate with him. Why on earth is this? Why!"
"Why? Isn't it for you? In order to save your life and find a reliable backer for you to enter the entertainment industry in the future, you are the party involved in the New Year's Day party at your school. I don't need to tell you. How many times have I told you, I told you to have a good relationship with him and don’t always think about going against him, did you listen?”
"I want to be an actor, not a singer."
Can rebellious boys and girls listen to adults’ advice? No, they will only think that adults are realistic, hypocritical, timid, conservative, and think they are authoritative but actually very pitiful.
"If you contact him again, you will no longer have my daughter from now on."
After leaving these words, she slammed the door and left without looking back.
The nanny, Aunt Liu, was just opposite, their eyes met, and she smiled awkwardly.
Deng Xinhua shook her head and said nothing. She believed that Sister Liu could understand. After all, they were all people who had gone through this step.
…
On the other side, Lin Miaomiao came to her grandparents' house.
It was Lin Dawei who picked her up, but as soon as she entered the door, she was stunned by the scene in front of her.
"Give it to me, I'll let you give it to me."
Wang Shengnan stood in front of Tang Jiaojiao and looked at his niece with warning eyes.
"Katsuo, you scared the child."
The Queen Mother persuaded her from behind. Her wrinkled face was full of reluctance, but she did not move and was still sitting on the sofa in the living room.
Lin Dawei walked to his wife and pulled Tang Jiaojiao behind him.
"Children are not sensible, can't they say something well?"
"Lin Dawei, it's none of your business. Get out of the way." Wang Shengnan said in a bad tone, looking at Lin Dawei with threatening eyes: "Every time something happens, you jump out and be a good person. I tell you, Lin Dawei, in my education When you are a child, stay alone."
These words...
There seemed to be some intention to anger him.
Lin Dawei looked at Lin Miaomiao and thought that Wang Shengnan was still angry with him for constantly being in trouble during the slap incident.
"Jiaojiao is still young. What you do will only make her afraid of you, and it will have no educational effect at all."
"I just made her afraid of me. She turned a deaf ear to what my grandparents said at such a young age. What will happen when she grows up?"
Lin Miaomiao was very angry when she heard this. She was so angry and scolding her.
"Shengnan, please tell me what happened first." Lin Dawei protected the child: "I'll tell her, okay?"
The royal father stood up and said, "Yesterday, Tang Yuanming came to pick up the child."
Lin Dawei nodded, indicating that he was listening carefully.
During the Chinese New Year, it is normal for the biological father to take the child home for two days. Although it was originally agreed that the child would be raised by Wang Dingnan, the grandparents and father cannot be deprived of their right to visit the child.
"After sending the person back today, Shengnan found that Jiaojiao was holding a mask. It looked a bit scary, so he wanted to take it away and put it away. Jiaojiao said nothing and refused to give it to him. You have seen what happened below."
Lin Dawei turned around to look, and sure enough he saw the little girl holding a mask made of cork tightly in her hands behind her back. It didn't look as scary as his father-in-law said, with plump lips, wide-open eyes, and bright pupils. Protruding, there are three horizontal lines on both sides of the cheeks, and a mountain-shaped symbol on the forehead. At first glance, it looks like something from abroad, most likely a specialty from Africa.
Who would give Tang Jiaojiao something from abroad? Still from Africa, the answer is obvious - Lin Yue.
Can Wang Shengnan endure this?
You must know that now his wife and father-in-law and mother-in-law are taking care of the child. One thousand percent will regard this as Lin Yue's provocation. As for Tang Jiaojiao, for some reason, the child is very stubborn and did not listen to his mother before. , now she doesn’t listen to her grandma, grandpa, aunt, and thinks that her cousin is the best to her, so the conflict between the two parties is understandable.
"Jiaojiao, can you give this to uncle? You are still young now. You can play with it when you grow up."
Jiaojiao shook her head, hugged the thing in her hand tighter, and watched him warily.
Lin Dawei was frustrated and his hunchback seemed to be getting worse: "How about I let your sister Miaomiao play for two days? She is also very interested in this."
What did he think?
Let’s put the question down first. Three feet of ice does not last in a day. At least it will give Wang Shengnan and his parents-in-law a step down. The relationship between Tang Jiaojiao and Lin Miaomiao is the best in this family. If she opens her mouth, the children will To give face.
As he spoke, he winked at his daughter.
However, unexpectedly, Lin Miaomiao ignored this at all and looked away with a cold face.
"Lin Miaomiao, what are you doing? I turned against you."
Wang Shengnan glared angrily, the corners of his eyes raised slightly, and his tigress spirit was in full swing. Facing Tang Jiaojiao, she also knew that the child was young and not her biological child, so she had to restrain herself no matter how disgusted she was. Now it was her daughter's turn, so of course it was not I'll get used to it.
"Is it interesting? Is this interesting? She can play with these delicate things as she pleases. What qualifications do you have to confiscate them from her?"
Lin Miaomiao said this with deep resentment, because she felt the same way.
Deng Xiaoqi and others only knew that she was slapped in the face by Wang Shengnan in school, but they did not know that there was another war between mother and daughter in the past few days from the holiday to the Chinese New Year.
It was winter vacation, so Wang Hongying returned the phone she had confiscated before.
Wang Shengnan asked her to stay away from Lin Yue. Social software like this had long forced her to block her. However, we are not in the age of dial-up phones. Is it difficult to get in touch with people on the Internet as long as you are willing? Not difficult at all!
There is no Lin Yue on QQ and WeChat, but she knows his live broadcast account on the Douyu platform. Since the Spring Festival in 2015, Lin Yue has been broadcasting holiday live broadcasts online from time to time, recording and showing the customs and harvests of Africa. Got a lot of fans.
When she returns home after the holidays, whenever he starts a live broadcast, she will watch it immediately.
Speaking of which, this guy is really fearless. When he was nosy in an elite high school and meddles in the logistics and cafeteria, he was like a mouse meeting a cat. He was equally dishonest when he went to Africa. The customs officer who asked for tips from tourists followed the people from the Wildlife Foundation to drive away ivory poachers, visited the local tribe as a guest, and followed the old hunter to snatch the prey of lions and leopards without a gun. The chief of the tribe deliberately His daughter married him, and he once beat up a local warlord who raped a female soldier on the street, which really made people sweat. He was really not afraid of revenge from these blood-licking guys. For this matter, the platform At one time, his live broadcast room was banned for spreading violence. In the end, he was scolded by netizens until he gave in and had to unblock him. This is not the end of it. The Ebola virus broke out in Sierra Leone last month, and others were running away. He He went inside and worked as a volunteer there for more than half a month. If his parents hadn't forced him back to Mozambique near the Spring Festival, he might have been able to get himself the title of virus expert in another two months.
From his live broadcast, she understood why this kid dared to challenge authority. In a place as chaotic as Africa, he dared to run around. Although he was sometimes driven away by the local indigenous people, but in all fairness, putting aside the danger Element, living a fulfilling and colorful life every day. Compared with their classmates in China, it can be said that they live in two worlds. People like him, who have experienced all the ups and downs, will let go of the mess of an elite middle school. In your heart?
It doesn't matter if Qian Sanyi is the number one scholar, or if Jiang Tianhao is the second generation of rich people, their structure and vision are far different.
So watching his live broadcast became the biggest pastime during the winter vacation and the most addictive thing. The two of them interacted in the live broadcast room. Because of this, they were so excited that they didn't notice Wang Shengnan opened the door with the key and gave her She was caught and her laptop was confiscated. Her parents also discussed sending her to a cram school after the Chinese New Year, so that she would have no time to pay attention to things that in their opinion were harmful and useless.
Now when she came to her grandparents' house, Wang Shengnan wanted to confiscate Tang Jiaojiao's New Year's gift. This reminded her of her own experience. It would be strange if she could cooperate.
Wang Shengnan also saw the disgust in her heart, and with a sudden change of mind, he understood that she felt that her little cousin had the same problem as her and wanted to form a united front.
"Lin Miaomiao, let me tell you, transfer to another school for me. I will transfer you to another school when school starts. I will let you watch his live broadcast and help him speak. From now on, I will tell you never to see him again."
"If you dare to transfer me to another school, I will stop reading. Whoever likes to read this book will read it."
She was angry when her computer was confiscated, and she had a fight with her best friend in the KTV, and she was suffocating. Now that she was provoked by the unreasonable Wang Shengnan, she was like Tang Jiaojiao, arguing with her own mother. On.
The same goes for that little girl. When she saw her cousin contradicting her aunt, she didn't hand over the mask sensibly. Instead, she ran to Lin Miaomiao and held hands with her, shoulder to shoulder, looking at the angry tigress with an angry look on her face. .
"Lin Miaomiao! Tell me again if you dare!" Wang Shengnan pointed at her and shouted.
Lin Miaomiao looked dissatisfied, and when she was about to retort, Lin Dawei glared at her.
"Miaomiao, why are you talking to your mother? You take Jiaojiao downstairs to play for a while, go..."
Seeing her father wink at her desperately, Lin Miaomiao said with a sullen face, "Let's go, my cousin will take you to play on the trampoline," and took the child's hand and left.
"Look at her!"
Wang Shengnan pointed at her back and said, "It's that guy named Lin who taught her bad things and transferred her to another school! Lin Dawei, you took her to transfer to another school as soon as school started. Do you hear me?"
Lin Dawei didn't want to refute at this juncture, so he patted her on the shoulder and said: "Okay, okay, listen to you, transfer Miaomiao to another school, transfer her to another school."
…
The elite middle school is the best middle school in Jiangzhou District. Transferring? Where can I go if I transfer to another school? What should I do if Lin Miaomiao really breaks the pot after turning around?
At first, Lin Yue made a big fuss over the class division. The result given by the school was that the first year of high school was divided into experimental class and ordinary class based on the scores of the high school entrance examination, and the second year of high school was divided into experimental class and general class of arts and science based on the results of the final examination of the first year of high school. But when it came to In the third year of high school, students are divided into classes based on their grades every two months. Those who do poorly in the experimental class are assigned to the ordinary class, and those who do well in the ordinary class are promoted to the experimental class. In the third year of high school, with Lin Yue's grades, it was absolutely impossible to stay in the experimental class, so he had to endure it for another half semester, and it would be over soon.
Lin Dawei used the above logic to persuade him for a long time, and finally he did his job to help his wife and stopped making trouble to transfer his daughter to another school.
However, in exchange, Lin Dawei agreed to find a room near the school to accompany him, because Wang Shengnan believed that Lin Miaomiao going home after class every day could effectively reduce her contact with Lin Yue.
Soon, the elite high school started, and the courses for the second semester of high school were online. However, in the past week, Lin Miaomiao didn't see Lin Yue come to school. She was almost anxious to death, fearing that this troublesome guy would encounter an accident in the chaotic Africa. , I bit the bullet and asked my former uncle, and the answer he got was that Lin Yue was fine. He didn't go back to school at the beginning of the semester because he encountered some problems with a local engineering project, and he was helping his parents solve it.
A high school student helping his engineering-major parents solve technical problems? This statement is a bit untenable, but Tang Yuanming swore that Lin Yue would come back before the school outing. At this point, he could only choose to believe it.
In this way, as the days passed, some guys who were worried about the world's chaos began to complain privately, always feeling that Lin Yue's absence made high school life lifeless.
Finally, the time came to the end of March.
The outing is here.
What made Lin Miaomiao uncomfortable was that until the day before departure, she still didn't see the shadow of the guy she had many questions to ask.
I was worried, but the joy of being able to travel still prevailed.
She took off her school uniform, put on a long-sleeved sweatshirt and jeans, and got on the tourist bus bound for Huishan Ancient Town. Then, she discovered a somewhat sensitive issue. English teacher Cai Ying got on the bus of Class 6, Grade 2, and... I was chatting and laughing with Tang Yuanming on the way, and I don’t know what happened during the winter vacation. The relationship between the two of them is a bit... hard to say.
Others also noticed this anomaly and were talking in low voices. Tang Yuanming could only give a positive explanation, saying that Teacher Cai came to the shuttle bus for Grade 2 and Grade 6 mainly because Lin Yue was absent and a seat was vacant. This arrangement was a reasonable use of resources. .
That's what they say, but what they think is up to the students themselves.
On the first day, after the car arrived at its destination, the first project organized by the school was to climb Qionglong Mountain, walk up and down the mountain, stroll around the foot of the mountain, and go to the contracted hotel to rest in the evening.
Qian Sanyi and Jiang Tianhao shared a room, and Deng Xiaoqi and Lin Miaomiao shared a room. They had a quarrel after the New Year, but Lin Yue never returned to school after the start of school. Even though they deliberately avoided topics about him, they could still If they maintain a relationship as good friends, at least on the surface, it won't make people think there is a problem between them.
The next day, free activities in Huishan Ancient Town.
When the four of them walked around for almost a circle, Lin Miaomiao complained that her feet were tired and wanted to find a place to rest. She subconsciously glanced in the direction of the Ferris wheel. She looked like a wild bird suddenly alert.
"Look, is that Lin Yue?"
"Lin Miaomiao, can you please don't mention this name? It's embarrassing." Deng Xiaoqi complained, but found that her best friend didn't seem to hear her and was tired of the noise, so she spread her legs and ran forward.
"Lin Miaomiao, why are you running away?" Qian Sanyi hurriedly chased after her.
Deng Xiaoqi and Jiang Tianhao looked at each other, even if they felt unhappy, they could only follow them.
"Lin Yue, Lin Yue."
Lin Miaomiao shouted at the figure walking into the Ferris wheel cockpit. The target person probably didn't hear it and didn't respond to her. In order to make sure that the person was the boy she longed for, she ran up to the platform and put her hand in the row. The two classmates in front pulled forward and entered the cockpit first.
"Hey, Lin Miaomiao, why are you like this?"
"sorry Sorry."
Qian Sanyi quickly apologized to them, ignoring his fear of heights, and hurriedly followed them.
Deng Xiaoqi wanted to hold Qian Sanyi, but was stopped by Jiang Tianhao.
The second generation of rich people are rebellious and willful, but they are not stupid. He can also see that Lin Miaomiao is becoming more and more interested in Lin Yue, and Qian Sanyi seems to care about Lin Miaomiao. If the first two can be matched, Deng Xiaoqi Wouldn't you consider him after you give up?
"Oh, let go."
Deng Xiaoqi shook off Jiang Tianhao's hand and squeezed into the cabin that was coming next under the astonished eyes of the two previous classmates.
Just when the two were hesitating, Jiang Tianhao took the opportunity to get in and make an apologetic gesture to the outside.
"She's in a bad mood. Please understand."
Deng Xiaoqi's attention was not on him at all, she was staring at Qian Sanyi in the car in front of her.
Lin Miaomiao did the same. She didn't realize that the champion was afraid of heights. She grabbed the armrests of the seat with both hands and her face turned pale with fright. She focused on the car in front and confirmed the identity of the person she just saw.
That's right, it's Lin Yue.
But the crux of the matter is that the woman with him is none other than Deng Xiaoqi's mother, Deng Xinhua.
