In the room dedicated to watching movies in Gu Mingzhe's apartment, Lin Hai searched for a long time, and finally found the movie disc he was looking for on the shelf specially placed for DVDs.

"It should be this." He stroked the cover of the disc. Before that, he and Yan Yiran were studying the book "The Ship of Theseus" together in the room, and a clue mentioned this disc. So, after he went downstairs to get the mechanical pencil, he ran to this room, trying to find this DVD and show it to Yan Yiran, hoping it would be helpful for clue deduction.

Turning around, he was just about to walk out of the room when he suddenly heard the sound of objects vibrating from behind.

He had to turn his body back again, looked around, and saw the source of the sound - a mobile phone that had been left on the sofa.

Someone called, and the screen of the phone flickered and vibrated.

He hesitated for a moment, but walked over, picked up the cell phone on the sofa, looked at it, the cell phone belonged to Gu Mingzhe, and the call came from an unfamiliar number.

He thought about it, and decided to quickly take the phone to Gu Mingzhe, but when he was holding the phone to leave, he accidentally touched the answer button. Although the speaker of the phone was not turned on, and the phone was not put to his ear, but Since the room was very quiet, he still heard a woman's voice coming from the phone.

"Mingzhe..."

Although there were only two short words, he immediately recognized who the caller was.

He put the phone to his ear, and on the other end, the woman's voice became clearer, with a bit of pitiful pleading: "Mingzhe, you finally answered my call, please don't block my call again, okay?" ? I just want to ask, how is Xiao Hai? I want to see him again, is it possible?"

Lin Hai's heart trembled. Ever since Lin Wan'er slapped him severely last time, he was not only disappointed with Lin Wan'er, but also had a bit of resentment. At that time, it all disappeared.

"Mom, it's me." He said.

Immediately, Lin Wan'er's surprised voice came from the other end of the phone: "Xiao Hai! Your father is willing to let you answer my call? Is it because he doesn't blame me anymore and forgive me?"

"No." Lin Hai replied, "Dad's cell phone was left here. I saw someone calling and answered it by accident."

Lin Wan'er was stunned for a moment, then asked: "So, you are alone now, there is no one else around, your father, and the woman surnamed Yan are not here?"

Lin Hai honestly said "Yes".

In Liu Xiaoming's house, Lin Wan'er stood up from the sofa in an instant, held her mobile phone, and said overjoyedly: "Xiao Hai, you are alone now! That's great!"

As soon as she finished these few words, she felt that she was too happy, so she suppressed her emotions and continued: "Listen to mom, mom really didn't mean to hit you last time, mom hit you I regret it too. Don't blame your mother. My mother hasn't eaten well or slept well these two days. She just wanted to call your father and ask about your situation, but... "

She intentionally sighed heavily: "Your father always refuses to answer my calls, and sometimes he blocks my calls immediately. This is the fifth calling card I've changed...or is it God? Pity me, I don't want our mother and son to have a problem, so I let you answer the phone."

Having said that, she sniffed again and made a choked-up sound: "Xiao Hai, last time mom hit you, it was mom's fault. Will you forgive mom?"

Lin Hai was silent for a while before replying: "Although I am a little angry, but... Mom is still mom."

"Really?" Lin Wan'er asked with great joy, "You are forgiving mom, right? Mom already knows that Xiao Hai is a sensible and good boy and will not get angry with mom. Mom promises that she will never hit you again. Already!"

"As long as mom doesn't beat anyone, she's still mom." Lin Hai said slowly, "Also, mom must make sure that she can no longer scold Aunt Yan, nor beat Aunt Yan."

Hearing this, Lin Wan'er on the other end of the phone felt depressed, and the smile on her face disappeared immediately.

Lin Hai said again: "If mom can't do it, Xiao Hai won't see mom anymore."

Yan Yiran was very kind to him, and Lin Wan'er was his biological mother, and the scene of these two arguing was the last thing he wanted to see.

"...Okay." Lin Wan'er was quiet for a while before speaking again, "Mom promises Xiao Hai, as long as Xiao Hai asks, mother will agree."

Lin Hai showed a satisfied smile: "Mom is so kind."

Lin Wan'er sat back on the sofa again, lowered her eyes slightly, looked at the crystal nails she had just made last night, and said softly, "Xiao Hai, Mom wants to meet you, but your father definitely doesn't want to, can you hide it from me?" Looking at your father, come out and meet your mother? Mom misses you so much. "

"It's not impossible to meet Mom, but if Dad doesn't know..." Lin Hai hesitated.

"It's okay!" Before Lin Hai finished speaking, Lin Wan'er spoke again, "Mom will teach you how to do it, after you finish the phone call, go tell your father that school is about to start, and you want to go to the mall to buy some things to study. For supplies, go to the Wenjiang Department Store in the city center. The day is scheduled for tomorrow morning. Mom will wait for you at the "Colorful Children's Paradise" at the east gate of Wenjiang Department Store. Just say you need to go to the toilet, and then sneak over to meet your mother, okay?"

Lin Hai frowned in confusion. On the one hand, he felt that he couldn't lie to Gu Mingzhe and Yan Yiran, but on the other hand, he didn't want to reject Lin Wan'er either.

Didn't hear Lin Hai's reply, Lin Wan'er immediately pretended to be sad and asked: "Does Xiao Hai not want to meet mom? Is she still angry with mom? Mom said sorry to you, are you still mad at mom?"

Lin Hai couldn't help but soften his heart. After hesitating again and again, he finally agreed: "Then... well, but this is the last time. I won't lie to Dad and Aunt Yan again in the future."

"Okay, Xiao Hai is so good." Lin Wan'er managed to force out a bit of joy and replied, but the hatred for Yan Yiran in her heart deepened. Her son, now, is actually devoted to Yan Yiran!She was going to explode!
Before hanging up the phone, Lin Wan'er was worried that Gu Mingzhe would see the call records between her and Lin Hai. After all, the mobile phone that Lin Hai answered the call belonged to Gu Mingzhe, so she asked Lin Hai to hide Gu Mingzhe's mobile phone.

Lin Hai wanted to tell her that he knew the unlock code of Gu Mingzhe's cell phone. He had seen it by accident and remembered it automatically, but after thinking about it, he still didn't tell Lin Wan'er about it. Just hide Gu Mingzhe's phone.

After Lin Wan'er hung up the phone in peace, he unlocked Gu Mingzhe's phone, deleted the call records between him and Lin Wan'er, and at the same time silently said sorry to Gu Mingzhe in his heart, and secretly swore that after this time, he would She will not lie to Gu Mingzhe and Yan Yiran anymore.

During dinner, Gu Mingzhe received a call from Yan Yunxuan, asking him to meet tomorrow to talk about cooperation in new projects, Gu Mingzhe agreed.

He didn't walk away deliberately when he answered the phone, so Yan Yiran and Lin Hai who had dinner with him knew that he had an appointment tomorrow.

Yan Yiran naturally wanted to ask, and Gu Mingzhe told the truth.

Lin Hai listened to the conversation between Yan Yiran and Gu Mingzhe, thought for a while, and finally gave up the idea of ​​telling the lie Lin Waner taught him.

He felt that if he could deceive one less person, he would deceive one less person.

Lying is very bad, so instead of lying to Gu Mingzhe and Yan Yiran at the same time, saying that he will go to Wenjiang Department Store to buy school supplies tomorrow, it is better not to say it for now, and he will tell this lie after Gu Mingzhe goes out tomorrow morning , In this way, he just lied to Yan Yiran alone.

When it was time to go to bed, Yan Yiran lay on the bed, leaned sideways, snuggled into Gu Mingzhe's arms, and said, "I don't know what my mother told you, but since my brother has called you and asked you To talk about new project cooperation, it means that you must have agreed to my mother's request."

As she said that, she raised her head slightly and looked at Gu Mingzhe: "Tell me honestly, did you promise my mother that you would help my brother with something? Or did you promise her to lend money to my brother?"

Gu Mingzhe held her little hand on his abdomen, and said softly, "One is your mother and the other is your brother. If I don't help, isn't it good?"

"You really agreed!" Yan Yiran frowned instantly, feeling a little angry, "At that time, my mother and I would quarrel because I didn't want my family's affairs to fall on your head. My brother is a prodigal son, so Over the years, my mother has filled in many money holes for him. His new project must be another sham that only burns money and can’t even get back the principal. Are you stupid to plunge into it? ?”

Seeing her anxious face, Gu Mingzhe couldn't help laughing. He squeezed her soft and boneless hands, and asked in a low voice: "You can't trust me like that? In your eyes, I'm also a money-burner. A prodigal who can't even get back the principal of the project?"

"I didn't say that." Yan Yiran still frowned, and said angrily, "I just can't bear to see you being dragged into the water by my brother, even though he is my brother, but because he is my brother, I understand him, He is so ambitious and has no sense of responsibility. When doing business, he never does his own research or asks others for advice. He just listens to his cronies bragging about new projects that are easy to do. The prospects are bright in the future. All the money is invested, and he doesn’t care about it, he just thinks that the project will be developed and he will receive dividends, and wait for the sky to fall, but how can there be such a good thing!”

The more she talked, the more she frowned: "Every time he was tricked into putting all his money into it, and even borrowed a loan shark, which almost failed to pay. Later, my mother helped him, and he paid back the loan. You have to take money from me to pay off the usury..."

Thinking of how she had to go to work during the day and part-time at night in order to help her brother pay off the debts in those years, I couldn't help but feel a little bitter in my heart.

It's obviously the same mother, why is her mother always partial to Yan Yunxuan and doesn't care about her feelings at all?
