"Don't talk nonsense. I don't have a boyfriend, and no man will come all the way from Sioux City for me. You want me to recharge your money. It's impossible. If you like to stay here, you can stay here. It's not a big deal for me. Go sleep in the living room."
Lingzheng simply hugged the quilt and went to the sofa.
Shicheng is extremely cold in winter.
She curled up into a ball.
Obviously I have experienced this kind of thing a lot, but I don't know why tonight, when Lu Chongli's gentle face flashed in my mind, my eyes felt sour inexplicably.
After tossing and turning for a while, she took out her mobile phone and sent Lu Chongli a message: [Have you arrived at the hotel? 】
Two minutes later, Lu Chongli sent a message: [No, I’m a little hungry. I’m looking for a late-night snack restaurant to eat. Do you know any delicious late-night snack restaurants here? 】
Lingzheng regretted that she wasn't careful enough, if she had known she would come back after eating with him just now.
[I don’t know, I didn’t have supper here in Shicheng. 】
She had never eaten it before. When she lived in Shicheng, she always used one dollar as two dollars.
Lu Chongli: [I’ll look for it online. If it tastes good, I’ll bring you to eat it next time. 】
Lingzheng: [Okay. 】
Lu Chongli: [I spoke harshly tonight. I'm sorry. I just hope you won't be so outspoken to me. In my heart, you are like a little turtle, always hiding yourself in a shell, thinking that you can protect yourself. In fact, the meat inside is very soft. 】
Lingzheng blinked her sour eyes and read the message over and over again.
...
The next day, Ling Zheng woke up to the sound of Ling's father's footsteps.
"Zhengzheng, why are you sleeping on the sofa?" Ling's father looked concerned, "Did Ling Hao stay up late playing games in your room last night? This bastard, I'm going to beat him up."
Father Ling quickly went to Ling Hao's room.
Soon Ling Zheng heard Ling's father beating and scolding from inside.
Lingzheng got up silently to make breakfast.
Originally she planned to leave after the New Year, but now she plans to go back with Lu Chongli in a few days.
It's not that she is indifferent, she doesn't even care about her biological mother, it's just that what if she comes back, there is no place for her in this family.
Especially after freezing on the sofa all night last night, she felt that her throat was uncomfortable.
During breakfast, Ling's father suddenly gave her two hundred yuan, "Zhengzheng, you go to the vegetable market in the morning to buy more vegetables. Mr. Xu will come to our house for dinner in the evening, so you can cook more of your specialty dishes."
Lingzheng frowned, "Dad, why does Mr. Xu always come to our house for dinner?"
Ling's mother's face sank, "What do you know? Mr. Xu comes to our house for dinner because he thinks highly of our family."
Ling's father glared at Ling's mother, and immediately smiled kindly at Ling Zheng and said, "Mr. Xu doesn't think much of our family. The main reason is that he likes to drink, and I can drink with him. Besides, this is not for Ling Hao's work." , would you like to accompany him a few more times? There is no other way. People at the bottom like us sometimes have no choice but to please the leaders above in order to survive. You will understand after you have just entered society not long ago and work for a few more years."
Lingzheng was silent for a moment. The last few words of Ling's father made her feel a little bit, "Okay, I'll go buy groceries in the morning."
"You're so good. No wonder people these days say it's better to have a daughter, but having a son will make people mad."
Ling's father gave Ling Hao a cold look.
Ling Hao said with a smile, "Dad, I will definitely earn a lot of money in the future to support you and mom in your retirement."
"It's better to rely on your sister than to rely on you."
Ling's father snorted and left. As he left, he secretly exchanged a look with Ling's mother.
