There was a cheerful female voice on the phone, but Joan's mood was not bright.

"Tomorrow, um, I haven't had a day off from work yet."

"What time do you get off work? Auntie cooks the meal. You can eat it directly when you come over. If you don't come, your father will be unhappy again."

He clearly knew that he couldn't refuse.

"Then I'll leave work early tomorrow, sorry for the trouble, Auntie."

"Why are you being polite as a family, tomorrow Auntie will cook some of your favorite dishes, you and your dad will have a good talk."

"Well, thanks Auntie."

Hanging up the phone, Joan lay down on the bed, "Oh", obviously I don't know what I like to eat, and I also know that my dad and I always break up on bad terms, we are never a family, why do we still have to Take pains to maintain this superficial effort.

"Go take a shower first, we'll talk about it tomorrow." Qiao An stretched himself to cheer himself up.

The next day, Joan and Yu Jing greeted each other, and the boss happily gave her leave. Joan went to a nearby fruit store to buy some fruit, and then went to a toy store to buy a racing car model and a doll, and then set foot on her father’s trip. new home.

"Huh-ha--", taking a deep breath to ease the nervousness, Joan rang the doorbell.

The door opened soon, and there was a little girl about 8 years old. She glanced at Qiao An timidly, said "Hello, sister" in a low voice, and ran away.

Qiao An stood in a daze at the door. This girl is the elder sister of this family. Although she is not close to her, she is not hiding...

"Lulu, why did you let your sister stand at the door, An An, come in quickly, this child has become more and more disobedient recently, these slippers are new, you should wear these."

The woman enthusiastically took the slippers for Joan to put on. Seeing the things in Joan's hand, she said, "Oh, you child, I told you a long time ago that you don't need to buy these things, and there are no shortages at home."

"When I passed by, I bought it."

Joan felt that the smile on her face was probably too stiff. The more friendly she put on, the harder it was for Joan to deal with it calmly.

"Lulu, Sister Qiao An bought you a bear, come here and thank her." The woman greeted the girl sitting on the sofa, and then said to Qiao An, "Your father took Xiao Yu downstairs to play, and I will be here soon." came back."

The girl obediently trotted over to take the doll from her mother, glanced at Qiao An secretly, then quickly looked away, said "Thank you sister" quickly and ran away.

The woman was a little surprised, "What happened to this child today, Joan, don't be angry, maybe I told her a few words today that she lost her temper."

Of course Joan understood that this was just a polite remark, "It's all right."

Being led to sit down on the sofa again, the girl moved away silently when she saw Joan sitting down, as if Joan was some kind of dirty thing, which made her even more restless.

I don't know how long it took, maybe 10 minutes, maybe 10 minutes, there was a happy father and son fighting at the door, Qiao An stood up and looked in the direction of the door, and sure enough, he saw his father hugging a 5-year-old boy playing noisy.

"dad."

"Here we come." The man was probably in a good mood, and his tone was not bad.

Children of this age don't remember anything, and Joan rarely comes here. At this moment, the boy is looking at Joan curiously, probably wondering who this stranger is. It just so happens that the mistress of the house just set up the dishes and came over to take the conversation. , "Why did you come back, An'an has been waiting for a long time, come on, son, mom will take you to wash your hands and eat."

The man frowned unhappily, "Why is she still tired after letting her wait for a while?"

Joan, who was innocently lying on the gun, stood there without saying a word, and the woman who had hugged her son didn't answer, but just asked Joan to sit down.

At the dinner table, the male host is at the top, Joan sits on the right, the opposite is the hostess holding her son, and the girl sits next to her.

"Your grandma said that you went to your hometown two days ago."

"Well, I went back for the New Year's Day holiday."

Here is a stiff conversation between father and daughter, but on the other side is a lively scene where the hostess is coaxing the son to eat and serving food for the daughter. Joan feels that the food in his mouth is getting harder to swallow.

"I contacted the doctor for you, and he will arrange a time in these two days, so you can go there."

The atmosphere solidified with these words, the hostess bumped into the hostess with her elbow, the girl was silently eating, but the frequency of peeking at Joan was much higher, only the boy didn't understand the current atmosphere, and was still talking to him. Mom acted like a baby, "Mom, I want to eat braised pork."

Joan squeezed her chopsticks tightly, "I'm not sick, why do I need to see a doctor?"

"An'an, that's not what your dad meant, it's just an ordinary physical examination." The hostess came out to smooth things over.

"Your grandma told me that you, like your mother, are living with a person who is delusional. The doctor is an expert in this field. It took me a while to make an appointment for you. You will go there in two days." ."

"I'm not sick, and neither is my mother."

Joan lowered his head, almost suppressing the words.

"Your grandma can't rest assured, I will take you there when the time comes." The host made a decision on his own.

"I told you I'm not sick! My mom is fine now."

It was silent again, Joan's mind was blank now.

"An'an..." The hostess seemed to want to say something, but was interrupted by the suddenly angry host, "You said your mother is doing well, Qiao An, your mother has been dead for 7 years, you really follow your crazy mother."

Neuropathy... This word pierced Joan's remaining rationality in an instant, she slapped the table and stood up, "My mother is not crazy, she is living very well now, she called two days ago to say that she is well now, She's doing fine without you."

"Crack", Qiao An's head was tilted to the side after being hit, her face was burning with pain, but she still stared back stubbornly.

"Lulu, take your brother back to the room, and don't come out when you hear anything." The woman who realized that the situation was not good hurriedly asked her eldest daughter to take her brother back to the room, and she came up to persuade her, "Jianye, if you have something to say, speak up , don't hit the child."

"Dad, you are my dad, you deserve this slap, but you can't say that about my mom."

The man laughed back angrily, "I was wrong, look at the scar on my stomach, it has been there for 7 years."

The man lifted his shirt, and there was a two-finger-wide scar on the left side of his abdomen. This scar rolled up with some memories that were tightly pressed in his heart. Joan suddenly felt a little nauseous, and hurried to the door. He didn't care about changing and grabbed the door and fled.

Chapter 39 The Forgotten Past

Stomach acid rolled up, bringing burning pain to the throat every time, Joan tightly covered his mouth, forcefully suppressing the desire to vomit.

There was no nausea to distract her attention, Joan felt the cold wind, she ran out in a hurry, she didn't take anything with her coat and bag, she could only wrap her arms around herself, Joan's mind was still blank, and she walked forward in a daze walking.

"Joann--"

A woman's panting shout came from behind, and Joann turned back reactively, but it was the stepmother who was holding a coat and bag, "You are running too fast, put on your clothes, you should be freezing in such a cold day "Joan was like a marionette, allowing the woman to put a coat on herself.

The woman hesitated to speak, "You know your dad's temper, he still has you in his heart, I shouldn't say anything else, you go back alone and be careful."

"……thanks."

Joan took the bag and hugged it in her arms, looking for a little bit of sustenance. The woman didn't stay behind, and hurriedly turned around and left after delivering the things, leaving only Joan standing there alone, staring down at the upper of the plush slippers .

Originally, she wanted to cry, but the tears were stuck in her eyes, and Qiao An reached out to search for her phone in her bag, only to realize that her hands were shaking all the time.
