The expression on Wen Jiu's face suddenly became tense, and he took a step back. The table behind him was so low that it just reached his waist. At this moment, he felt that there was support behind him when he pressed against the edge of the table.

He didn't dare to look at the expression on He Lanshu's face - and he didn't even know when He Lanshu came and how much he heard.

It would be okay if he listened more, and it just proved that he had no other intentions, but if he only heard the following few sentences... Wen Jiu looked at the bright and clean floor, thinking that he would use himself to wipe the floor and then How likely is it to get out.

Sun Jian looked at He Lanshu and Wen Jiu who were on opposite sides, and he became more convinced of his guess. He didn't care what Wen Jiu said just now, he only thought that he wanted to preserve some dignity after his scars were uncovered. That's all.

Men, I understand.

Thinking of this, Sun Jian stood up, walked two steps forward with a smile, stretched out his hand and nodded with a smile, "Mr. He Lan."

He Lanshu also stretched out his hand, and just as Sun Jian showed an ambiguous smile, He Lanshu's hand went straight past Sun Jian and reached Wen Jiu's shoulder behind him.

The smile on Sun Jian's face suddenly froze at the corner of his mouth. Su Qin hurried forward two steps, hugged his hand with both hands and shook it vigorously up and down, "Mr. Sun! Long time, long time!"

Sun Jian's lips moved a few times, wanting to have an attack but seeming to be worried about something, finally pulled his hand out of Su Qin's hand, and stood aside with an ugly expression.

"Didn't I tell you to rest at home today?" He Lanshu frowned, lifted a little of Wen Jiu's fur hat, touched his forehead, and gestured on his own forehead, and put down the snack when he found that it was not burning. .

Wen Jiu blinked, and said tentatively, "Then you're not angry, are you?"

He Lanshu glanced at him with a half-smile, and found that Wen Jiu said these words most often these days, making it seem like he was a very irritable person.

He touched his face helplessly, hung the mask on his ears again, stared at his eyes that were only exposed outside and said, "No, but even if you want to come out to meet guests, you have to worry about your body .”

Wen Jiu nodded hastily like a chick pecking at rice, and shook his hand as if to fawn on him, "I'm fine, it's good to come out to have a wind."

Only then did Wen Jiu turn her gaze to Su Qin who had been maintaining a standard smile with eight teeth in the corner, and asked, "Are you here today?"

He Lanshu nodded, and glanced at the watch on his hand, "I asked Dr. Mo to discuss something."

"Doctor Mo Ce?" Wen Jiu's eyes lit up, and she said hastily.

He Lanshu nodded as expected, Wen Jiu didn't ask any other questions, and urged him, "Then hurry up and don't make people wait."

"I'm right next door to you." He Lanshu raised his eyebrows and smiled, narrowed his eyes and finally turned to Sun Jian, whom he regarded as a transparent person, and said, "I forgot to say hello, Mr. Sun, what a coincidence."

Sun Jian pulled up the corner of his mouth and smiled stiffly, but didn't reply.

Wen Jiu looked at Sun Jian in embarrassment, he actually liked Jiang Cong.

For old people, it's not a bad thing for people of Sun Jian's age to be a little arrogant, and after all, Jiang Cong and Sun Jian don't spend much time together, so it doesn't mean that they fully understand how this person is, most of them are impressions and impressions from childhood. The appearance he is showing now.

Thinking of this, he simply sighed and said to Sun Jian in front of He Lanshu, "Mr. Sun, I have made my words very clear just now, I hope you will be more self-respecting in the future."

What he said was ambiguous, not too blunt to make Sun Jian unable to step down, but even so, none of the four people present were stupid.

Sun Jian's face turned blue and red, trying to save the last bit of face, he finally left here in embarrassment, and looked back when he turned the corner.

They had already sat in, Wen Jiu and He Lanshu were sitting face to face, Wen Jiu faced him with a trusting and undisguised smile on his face.

He suddenly became a little puzzled by the information he had in hand.

It's just that this question didn't last long. Sun Jian glanced at Wen Jiu again, straightened his suit, and walked downstairs slowly with his head raised.

----

Wen Jiu sat on it for a while and then proposed to leave.

He Lanshu immediately looked at him when he heard the words, Su Qin was sitting beside him, leaned back a little when he heard the words, and leaned his whole back on the back of the chair, relying on He Lanshu not to look back at him, he grinned at Wen Nine makes faces.

Wen Jiu rolled his eyes at him, "I'll wait for you in the car, I just want to sleep."

He also wanted to participate in the discussion between Dr. Mo Ce and them, maybe he could come up with a few ideas, but he just looked at the materials in He Lanshu's hand... there are many English marks on it, and they can't be read at all. I can't read them all.

At this moment, he suddenly realized the gap between him, He Lanshu, and Su Qin, and he couldn't help feeling a little downcast.

He was really a bit lacklustre—he felt really tired talking to Sun Jian.

When facing Sun Jian, he was funny and helpless, just like facing a child who couldn't get a toy and tried everything to get it. In the end, he was so annoyed that he lost his temper and just wanted to leave quickly.

This situation is actually the most energy-consuming.

Wen Jiu had been tormented enough yesterday, and last night it was more serious to say that he was in a coma rather than falling asleep. Now that he said he wanted to sleep, He Lanshu directly gave him the car keys.

He Lanshu pulled out the electronic menu on the table, and after ordering a cup of preserved egg and lean meat porridge, he said to Wen Jiu, "Drink the porridge before going to bed. The cup will be placed in the booth."

Wen Jiu couldn't help but rolled her eyes inwardly when she heard the words—he was sick once before, and He Lanshu told him to drink a bowl of porridge before going to bed. He relied on He Lanshu to go to the company in the afternoon, and he was too sleepy, so he didn't drink at all. , Turning around, I forgot about it.

Later when He Lanshu came back... After forcing him to eat, whenever he was not by his side, someone would definitely watch him finish eating.

This time it's almost the same... Wen Jiu pursed her lips and smelled the aroma of porridge, and being blown by the cold wind outside, she really thought it would be nice to buy a cup of porridge.

The sky was getting dark now, Wen Jiu searched outside for a while and found He Lanshu's very low-key car.

There were cars everywhere in the parking lot. After looking at it for a while, Wen Jiu realized that He Lanshu's car seemed to have a higher chassis than the other cars, and it was obviously much thicker.

He blinked, and suddenly remembered that he no longer got motion sickness.

He also thought that he was afraid of vehicles because of psychological reasons, but now it seemed that it was not like that.

When Sun Jian sent him back last night, he was in the car so uncomfortable that he couldn't get up and down, retching and nauseous, got out of the car and was blown by the cold wind for a long time and didn't recover.

Wen Jiu touched the car with one hand, opened the door and went up.

When he woke up, it was just past seven o'clock.

He yawned and sat up, touched the remaining half cup of porridge, it was already completely cold.

He didn't drink any more, and dozed off on the seat with half-closed eyes. The parking lot was very quiet. In fact, Wen Jiu was most afraid of being alone with such a person, especially when it was dark, and he was the only one in the car. When the lights were on in the car, he would always feel that a gangster with a knife would suddenly pop up beside him to rob him.

Occasionally, there would be a few echoing sounds of vehicles starting up around. Wen Jiu shrank his neck, put down the chair, took out his mobile phone and lay on his side to play, and looked up from time to time.

The windows of He Lanshu are single-sided windows, the inside can see the outside, but the outside cannot see the inside.

Wen Jiu didn't know this, so when he saw a face on the car window, he was so scared that he almost went into cardiac arrest.

He couldn't even call out, and the panicked phone dropped directly under the carriage.

Wen Jiu stared at the face of the person crowded on the car window and didn't come back to his senses for a long time, his heart was beating wildly. After a while, he waited until the figure was a little farther away, and then he turned on the light of the garage to see clearly. who is it.

Wen Jiu gritted her teeth angrily, pulled down the car window at once, looked at Wen Chang who was outside and was planning to use a flashlight to lean on the window, and said, "What are you doing!"

His tone was urgent and fast, he was quite frightened, and his voice was relatively loud.

This time, it was Wen Chang who was taken aback by him. The thing in Wen Chang's hand was like Wen Jiu's mobile phone. He dropped it on the ground with a trembling hand. He quickly picked it up, and raised his head aggrieved. "Brother Shu said you were here."

Wen Jiu calmed down, "What do you want from me?"

"It's okay. I'll come over to see if you're okay." Wen Chang said slowly, and then leaned into the car window, "Brother, don't be as knowledgeable as Dad, although he has a bad temper, But you are his son, let's bear it if we can."

Wen Jiu's face paled, his face was hot as if it was still in pain, his entire left face was swollen, he had to be careful to bite the broken inner wall when he ate, even the slightest touch would hurt so much that he would frown.

"I have nothing else to do, so I'm going to school." Wen Chang saw that Wen Jiu didn't want to continue this topic, and waved at him after hearing this, "Mom called me just now and said that Dad knew it was wrong , let you go to Mr. Sun to thank him."

To thank Sun Jian?

Wen Jiu closed the car window again to block out the sound from outside.

Probably the business between Sun Jian and Wen's family has failed, otherwise how could his cheap stepmother specifically ask Wen Chang to ask him to talk about this matter when she called Wen Chang.

Wen Jiu had long thought that he shouldn't have any feelings, but when Wen Chang appeared in front of his car nonchalantly, he realized that there are some things that he can ignore without telling himself not to care.

He curled up silently, the whole person curled up on the seat, the little ball looked extremely pitiful.

The darkness that was a little scary to him just now has become the best cover at this moment. The tears he shed will not be seen by others, and he can cry wantonly. No matter what is in his mind, there is no need to worry about it Accidentally say it out loud and be heard.

Wen Jiu cried silently until the car door was opened and closed again. After a while, He Lanshu sat in alone.

Wen Jiu didn't say a word, just wrapped his arms around his neck, and curled up in his arms like before, "What's wrong?"

Su Qin originally got down with him, but the moment He Lanshu opened the car door, Su Qin took a taxi and left alone.

Su Qin didn't ask too much, he opened the door a little slower than He Lanshu, but he also saw Wen Jiu huddled in the gap of the front door, so he went out without saying anything.

Wen Jiu shook her head, "I saw Wen Chang just now."

"What did he say?" He Lanshu comforted him, but his eyebrows frowned.

In the entire Wen family, if one really cared about Wen Xia and Wen Jiu, Wen Chang might be the only one left.

"No." Wen Jiu spoke slowly, stopping for a while, "He actually didn't say anything."

It is because Wen Chang didn't say anything, didn't want to express anything, but said all the things he didn't have, that's why he felt uncomfortable.

Wen Chang is a freshman this year, and Wen Jiu still remembers that on the day of his college entrance examination, neither Li Meimei nor Wen Jianguo went out, and the two of them accompanied Wen Chang outside the examination room from the start to the end of the examination.

When he heard Wen Chang say it casually, his tone was still complaining, complaining that both Wen Jianguo and Li Meimei were outside, making it difficult for him to take the exam.

Maybe he was really unhappy, but from Wen Jiu's ears, he didn't even want to.

"College entrance examination?" He Lanshu listened to Wen Jiu's incoherent words, holding his hand interspersed with his, and then said with a light brow, as if he didn't care at all, "How do you know that?" No one cares about you?"

Wen Jiu raised her head differently upon hearing this, her eyelashes were still a little wet.

He Lanshu seemed a little embarrassed. He turned his head to the side and coughed dryly twice as if trying to cover up something, "I followed you the whole time on the day of your college entrance examination."

Wen Jiu widened his eyes.

"But you didn't seem to do very well in the exam, and you weren't very happy when you came out." He Lanshu said with a smile.

Wen Jiu shook her head, "I did pretty well in the exam..."

He just came out after the exam and looked at the anxious parents and the children who were acting like a baby in their arms, and he felt a little lonely.

"Did you follow me all those days?" Wen Jiu suddenly laughed.

He Lanshu shook his head, and said as if explaining, "I just met you on the road, and when I saw you, I followed."

"...Your words sound like a pervert." Wen Jiu muttered a few words and wiped her itchy eyes, "Did I tell you about my family?"

He Lanshu shook his head silently.

Wen Jiu was silent for a while, "Should we go home first?"

"Okay." He Lanshu started the car, let Wen Jiu's head lie on his lap, and did not correct him for not wearing a seat belt for the first time.

When the two returned home, the two dogs immediately came up to each other affectionately. The golden retriever and the Samoyed were indeed smiling little angels. Wen Jiu rubbed them with a smile, and followed He Lanshu upstairs to change clothes.

Aunt Qin had already returned, and when she saw them coming back, she came out with a smile and asked a few questions, then hurried into the kitchen to work again.

It's just that it will take a while to prepare the meals. After Wen Jiu finished washing, she climbed onto He Lanshu and pressed him down.

He Lanshu smiled heavily, touched Wen Jiu lying on his chest and said, "Can we talk now?"

He has asked several times, but Wen Jiu has always refused to say anything.

This time he took the initiative to mention it, and to be honest, He Lanshu was quite happy.

The information he can investigate is always too one-sided. He can't go deep, and can only understand the affairs of the Wen family from the surface.

He knew the relationship between Wen Jianguo's family, but he couldn't find out the details.These things belong to a family.

"Well... Let's just talk about Wen Chang." Wen Jiu listened carefully to He Lanshu's steady heartbeat, and it rang in his ears one after another. Calmed down a little bit.

"Actually, I can't remember much about my childhood." Wen Jiu drew circles on He Lanshu's body with one hand, "I know Li Meimei is my stepmother, but I can't like her at all. At that time, I was actually quite afraid of her. Yes, my sister said, every time I saw her when I was a child, I would cry, and the next day I would definitely have a fever."

"Is this the cause?" He Lanshu put a pillow behind his back, frowned and looked down.

After Wen Jiu came back today, she didn't have a fever anymore, but she couldn't raise her emotions, so it's not good to continue like this.

"It should be." Wen Jiu pouted casually, "Actually, I really hate Wen Chang."

"Ah."

He Lanshu reached out and poured him a glass of water, poured some medicine into it, stirred it slowly, put it in Wen Jiu's hand and let him drink it slowly, Wen Jiu took it, took a sip before saying, " He actually didn’t want to do anything, and sometimes I thought he was cute and wanted to play with him, but every time the result was that I was killed by him and beaten up by my dad.”

"for example?"

"For example, after Wen Chang's elementary school exam failed, he would often hand over my report card to Wen Jianguo, and then Li Meimei would talk about the score, and then Wen Jianguo would beat me if he lost face." Wen Jiu sighed, "I didn't like him very much at that time. My sister and I have never been to the parents' meeting. Li Meimei will go to him every time, and then I will talk about these things."

Wen Chang actually didn’t have any bad intentions, but at that time they were children, and their own situation was difficult to go to school. When Wen Chang’s grades failed for the first time, maybe it was just a sudden thought that he had to change with him. Paper, but after the first time, there will be a second and third time.

Wen Chang certainly liked him, but at that time, the meaning of his existence was more of a scapegoat.

It's not that he didn't try to say it, but what an eight or nine-year-old child said over and over again is just a few words, not to mention that every time Wen Jianguo made a move, Li Meimei was by the side, and every time he blocked it "just right" took his word.

After that, Wen Jiu would definitely be hungry, so after a while, he stopped talking.

It's useless to say it, and no one believes it.

"Sometimes I feel that my sister and I are like outsiders. The three of them are the real family, and the two of us are outsiders who are not welcome." Wen Jiu drank slowly. Biting the wall of the cup, he said, "Wen Chang, I married you after high school. I also had a lot of money during that time... He always asked me for it, but I didn't give it to him, he said I'm coming to you."

He knew that Wen Chang was threatening him, but he might not be able to go to He Lanshu, but he couldn't be sure, because Wen Chang was the same, with a capricious temperament.

He Lanshu has been listening quietly, he knows these things.

Wen Jiu has never counted the money in his hands, and sometimes he designs some manuscripts to receive money. He has never used the card he gave Wen Jiu, and he is not willing to make so much money for his half-night rush for pictures. A little money, so Wen Jiu would often lend the money to Wen Jiu through the other party's hand when he was collecting money.

This behavior actually started shortly after Wen Jiu received the picture.

It's just that he never knew it.

"When I went home a few days ago, I found a photo album in Wen Chang's room." As Wen Jiu talked, he always thought of what to say. He Lanshu listened, but he could also know what Wen Jiu meant. , "The photos in the photo album are me and my sister, I also want to understand, Wen Chang probably wants to play with us, but we don't like him."

He Lanshu nodded when he heard the words, and listened to Wen Jiu's continuation.

"I also think that he actually likes me and my sister very much. Every time my dad loses his temper, he will stand in front of me..." Wen Jiu finished drinking the medicine in his hand, He Lanshu took it and put it aside, looking at Wen Jiu touched her cheek with her hand.

"But every time he would do something that bothered me..." He said and buried his head in He Lanshu's arms again, "Since I can remember, what I'm most afraid of are exams and normality, because every time I They have to try their best to avoid a beating."

He Lanshu touched the back of Wen Jiu's neck and kissed the corner of his mouth, "You don't have to worry about these things in the future."

He looked at Wen Jiu's swollen side face, narrowed his eyes slightly, "If anyone other than Wen Chang wants to call you, you should refuse."

Wen Jiu curled her lips, "I also want to..."

In fact, he also understands that in the final analysis, his heart is still family.

Wen Chang has a fatherly and maternal love that he has never had before. Even when he said that Wen Jianguo wanted him to ask Sun Jian to thank him, he said it so bluntly.

Wen Chang is very simple. At his age, he faces a group of innocent students in school and only needs to study textbooks every day. All the filth and uncleanness that he has seen before are not found on Wen Chang's body.

Even when Wen Chang framed him, what appeared on Wen Chang's face was the most innocent expression of not wanting to be punished, that's how it was, every time he was beaten by Wen Jianguo because of Wen Chang, he could get With the things he bought with his lucky money, he came to Wen Jiu to reconcile again and again.

He Lanshu listened quietly, grabbed Wen Jiu's arm and looked at it.

It was not easy to leave scars on Wen Jiu's body. Obviously, Wen Jianguo was serious, but he had never seen blood—but bruises were inevitable, after all, Wen Jiu's face was the best evidence.

"If you don't like it in the future, you will be less likely to see Wen Chang." He Lanshu lowered his eyes and gently touched Wen Jiu's face, "Now, you don't have any need to accommodate yourself for others. The people of the Wen family are very important to you. It’s already a passerby.”

Wen Jiu didn't understand what He Lanshu's words meant, so she raised her head in confusion and said, "What?"

But He Lanshu smiled and rubbed his hair, "It's fine."

Some things, now is not a very suitable opportunity to tell Wen Jiu.

He Lanshu sighed softly, "From now on, you only need to do what you like, and I will be there for everything."

The author has something to say: Wen Chang probably finished his explanation, so I said that children are the most innocent and cruel.

Wen Chang only thought of exchanging transcripts for pocket money and everything he wanted, but he never knew how much Wen Jiu had been hurt behind this because of him.

Hmm, so when you grow up, pay it back slowly...
