Mengping was lying on the door panel, looking out through the peephole, and saw that the man looked slightly panicked, and when she wanted to wait to see what his next move was, suddenly the man walked towards them.

Mengping backed away quickly, and then there was a knock on the door, she quickly suppressed her panic, and asked as if nothing had happened, "Who is it?"

"Hello, I live across from your house, can you open the door?"

Of course I can't open the door. Although the other party is good-looking and has a nice voice, what if the other party is a bad person, "Sorry, it's inconvenient for me to open the door. What's the matter?"

"I would like to ask some questions, did you see someone broke into my house just now, I am going to call the police and want to know some clues."

Call the police?Mengping thought for a while, "I did see someone go to your house, but I can't tell you, or you should call the police first, and I will tell him when the police come."

Liao Wenjie knew that Mengping regarded him as a bad guy, but he really couldn't call the police, "Well, I'll go to the police first."

He just wanted to know who came to his house, and calling the police was just an excuse to Mengping. Now it seems that the little girl is quite cautious, but she often comes here alone, which is a bit too careless.

Mengping saw people leaving through the cat's eyes, so she quickly took her bag and stopped a rickshaw to return home. She was terrified along the way, and finally returned home without any danger.

"Oh, Mengping, why did you come back in a hurry? Are you also a debt collector? You don't look like a lady at all. Which rich family would dare to marry you in the future."

Seeing Mengping's undignified and gentle posture, Wang Xueqin criticized. When she got closer, she found Mengping's face was pale, and she touched her forehead with her hand, "Are you sick? Why is your face so ugly?"

"No, I'm not sick." Mengping adjusted her breathing and glanced at the clock beside her. Jiang Yan is working overtime at school today, but this time should be coming back soon, and I have to talk to him about today's affairs when I come back.

It was really scary. The group of people looked like robbers. They entered and searched everywhere with great fanfare. Later, when the man came back, he said he wanted to call the police, but he didn't look like he wanted to call the police at all.

"Seeing that your complexion is so bad, you must be sick. I'll ask Mama Yun to buy some blood-enriching food for you to eat. The most important thing for a woman is to have good energy and blood. If you have energy and blood, you must be energetic, even if you don't look so good-looking. , it looks pleasing to the eye, so I say, you will definitely..."

Wang Xueqin told Mengping a whole set of theories, but Mengping was so absorbed that she didn't listen to a word, until Jiang Yan came back, and couldn't wait to drag him back to the room to talk about things.

"Why are you so mysterious? You went into the house as soon as you came back." Seeing the two of them going upstairs and returning to their room, Wang Xueqin was puzzled, but she didn't have the intention to eavesdrop, so she asked Mama Yun to buy food that can nourish Qi and blood.

Not long after, Erhao and Ruping also came back, along with He Shuhuan and Du Fei. This was the first time Du Fei came to the house after Ruping and He Shuhuan got engaged. Erhao warmly entertained her. Wang Xueqin couldn't let his son fell shame.

The young men and women downstairs were chatting and laughing, and Mengping and Jiang Yan upstairs were talking about her "fear" today. Those who broke into the opposite door were all wearing uniforms. Although they didn't know which department's uniforms they were, she was sure to see them again. can recognize.

What's more important is that people in uniforms can openly use violence to break into the other party's house and rummage through it. What a terrible thing.

Jiang Yan didn't have much to say about this, as this is where it is going. After a few years, the Japanese will enter Shanghai, and then there will be real panic and everyone will be in danger.

I can only comfort Mengping not to be afraid, and tell her that the person who lives at the opposite door is his friend, not a bad person.

"Your friend? Why haven't I heard you talk about it before? And you didn't say hello when you met before." Mengping said, remembering that when Jiang Yan just came back from France, he lived outside for half a month before returning. He must be Those who are doing something may not be able to recognize each other.

"It's probably good if I know the things. I won't ask too many questions. Just promise me that you won't put yourself in danger." No matter what you do, safety is the most important thing.

"I promise you." He would not put himself in danger.

Seeing that Jiang Yan promised to be straightforward, Mengping felt a little worried. No matter how she heard her words, she seemed to be perfunctory, but she also knew that the things Jiang Yan himself did were dangerous. You can also see the arrogant attitude of those who broke into the opposite door.

"Er Yan Mengping, stop whispering in the room and come out for dinner." Wang Xueqin's voice sounded outside the door.

The two looked at each other and opened the door to go downstairs. There were people there at night, and the dishes were extraordinarily rich.

But when Lu Zhenhua looked at the sumptuous meal, he remembered Yiping and Fu Wenpei. Yiping didn't take the money from here, and she didn't ask Erhao to deliver it later. I don't know how their mother and daughter came here in half a year. of.

"Old man, hurry up and eat, is today's food not to your taste?" Wang Xueqin asked Lu Zhenhua with a worried face.

"I'm thinking of Yiping and Wenpei, and I don't know how they are doing now." Lu Zhenhua doesn't need to worry about other people's thoughts and ideas in this family, so he doesn't care about how many people at the dinner table after he said this. How ugly is my face.

Only Du Fei still didn't understand the reason, and asked stupidly: "Is Yiping Uncle Lu's other daughter? I've never seen her before. Did Ruping come when she got engaged? I happened to be on a business trip at that time." Didn't see it."

He said it was a business trip, but in fact, he couldn't accept that the woman he liked was with his brother, so he went on a business trip specially.

"Yiping didn't come to participate in Ruping's engagement. She is the daughter of my father's other wife, and she is not from the same mother as us." Er Hao was angry when he thought of Yiping's attitude towards him before, and the attitude of introducing Yiping was also the same. Not so good.

However, Lu Zhenhua is now full of guilt towards Yiping and Fu Wenpei, and Er Hao's attitude can be said to hit the wooden cang, and said in a deep voice: "I will give you 500 yuan tomorrow, and you will give it to their mother and daughter." In the past, if Yiping didn't want it, I would give it to Wenpei and ask her to accept it."

"They won't want it. Dad, why are you so proactive? Last time I went to give them money, you didn't see Yiping's attitude, as if I wasn't her brother or her enemy at all. I wish Mu Cang could kill me."

Erhao complained about Yiping's attitude towards him, but he didn't expect Lu Zhenhua to drop his chopsticks in the next moment, "I tell you to go, and you go, how can there be so much nonsense? If you don't listen to me, you can also start from this Get out of the house."

As soon as Lu Zhenhua said this, everyone looked at him in disbelief, and Jiang Yan also felt a little unbelievable.

"Old man, what are you talking about? How can you compare Erhao with Yiping? Erhao is the eldest son of this family." Wang Xueqin was the first to give in, and quickly winked at Erhao, "Erhao, meet your father quickly." It's a mistake, and your father will definitely forgive you."

"What did I do wrong?" Originally, Er Hao didn't think it was his fault, not to mention that it was at the dinner table, in front of his two best friends, if he just admitted his mistake like this, where would he put his face in the future? ?As if he was someone who couldn't live without his parents.

Under Lu Zhenhua's glaring eyes, he got up angrily, "Let's go, Yiping is right, you are no longer the black leopard you used to be, you are a person who can only show power and lose your temper with your children. "

"Get out, get out of this house, and never appear in front of me again."

Lu Zhenhua was only angry for a while, and if Erhao admitted his mistake, the matter would be over, but Ruoerhao went straight up and refuted the past, which angered him even more.

Er Hao never bowed his head at this time, turned around and let him go, He Shuhuan and Du Fei were stunned, and hurriedly chased them out. Seeing this dilemma, Ruping wanted to chase Er Hao back, but she was afraid that Lu Zhenhua would come back. more angry.

In the end, he stayed. He Shuhuan was not afraid of Er Hao, and he and Wang Xueqin spoke good words for Er Hao, moved them with affection and reasoned, and promised that Er Hao would come back and admit his mistakes.

Only then did Lu Zhenhua calm down, and went upstairs to his room to rest.

Unable to see Lu Zhenhua anymore, Wang Xueqin was so tired that she slumped on the sofa, and said bitterly: "Yiping and Fu Wenpei are really lingering ghosts, and the old man can still miss them after they have been away for so long."

Mengping handed Wang Xueqin the hot soup that Mama Yun had just stewed, and sat quietly on the side without saying a word. If it was before, she would definitely refute it. It was clearly her father who drove Erhao away, so why rely on others?

Now she knew that even if she said it, Wang Xueqin would not listen, so she simply stopped talking, so as not to waste that tongue.

"Er Yan, go and call He Shuhuan's apartment and see what's going on with Er Hao."

Wang Xueqin was still worried about Er Hao, Jiang Yan glanced at Ruping, it stands to reason that it would be more appropriate for Ruping to make a call, after all, she is He Shuhuan's fiancee, and then thought of Wang Xueqin's dissatisfaction with He Shuhuan, probably because of this because she didn't want to let Ruping Ping and He Shuhuan had too much contact before marriage.

Went to make a call, but no one answered after calling several times, now Wang Xueqin was even more worried, wondering if there would be an accident, after all, it was not safe to go out in the dark sky, Ruping Mengping gave a good message of comfort, until the phone rang, He Shuhuan came It is safe to report safety.

Er Hao lived in the apartment rented by He Shuhuan and Du Fei for one night, and started looking for a house to live in by himself the next day. In his opinion, he has already worked and is fully capable of living outside without being attached to his family, let alone being like Yiping , reaching out to Lu Lu Zhenhua for money.

So even if he was kicked out, he would not be very embarrassed. However, what he didn't expect was that those good houses outside were just a dream for his salary. Fly shared an apartment.

It's a fantasy for him to rent a villa close to the newspaper office, let alone hire a servant to do the cleaning, so he can only rent an apartment near He Shuhuan and Du Fei's apartment, and the landlord still needs three months Pay the rent together with Ken and rent it to him. After the rent is paid, there will not be much money left in hand.

"How could there be only a few dollars left? Could it be that you haven't saved any money in the past two years of working?" Du Fei was puzzled. He wanted to send money back home, but he always broke things in a frizzy manner. , That's why life is tight. It stands to reason that Erhao doesn't need to pay money to his family at all, so he should be able to save some money.

"We've known each other for so many years, don't you know what kind of temperament Erhao is? He's used to being big-handed, and I think he's going to have a hard time in the future." He Shuhuan still knows Erhao very well, chasing girls for food and clothing Everything is the best, you don’t have to hand over your wages when you work, and you still get pocket money every month, not counting the car that Lu Zhenhua bought for him during the year he worked.

Ruping hurried over after class, seeing Er Hao hurriedly gave him all the money on his body, "Go back and talk to Dad, Mom and I have already told you all the good things for you yesterday, and Dad is now Don't be angry anymore, you just need to go back and apologize."

As soon as Ruping finished speaking, the money she had just given to Er Hao was stuffed back, "I don't need you to speak for me, he has already kicked me out and I am no longer a member of the Lu family. From now on, I will live or die with you It doesn't matter to you."

"Er Hao, don't you know what is good or bad? He is our father, can you never recognize him as a father?" Looking at Er Hao in front of her, Ruping seemed to see Yiping, and she also refused to tell her family. bow your head.

"That's right, Erhao, no matter what happens to Uncle Lu, he's still your father. No son would deny his father."

"Yes, yes, stay outside for a few days when you are angry, and go back when your anger subsides. Can you still deny him forever?"

He Shuhuan and Du Fei persuaded him, and Erhao accepted Ruping's money again. He really had to recognize his father, but he still had to have the attitude he should have, otherwise it would be too embarrassing.

Ruping looked at the hands without money, she seemed to have to take back what she said just now, Erhao and Yiping are different, Yiping said she would never want the money from the Lu family, but Erhao said she would ask for it again .

Can't say which one is better, but they are definitely different.

Back home, Ruping told about Erhao's affairs, looking at Wang Xueqin who looked depressed, Mengping and Jiang Yan who were silent, and even Erjie who was usually very cheerful did not speak.

How did this home become what it is now?Obviously we are all a family, we ate happily together yesterday, but today we all have our own concerns.

"Okay, everyone, stop crying. Those who don't know think that our Lu family is dead. It's getting late, so go upstairs and go back to sleep. We'll talk about it tomorrow if we have anything to do."

Wang Xueqin said and took Erjie upstairs to rest, and the remaining three people looked at each other and went back to their respective rooms.

For the first time, Ruping really understands what is meant by "relative silence". It's really a bad feeling when you are the closest people and have nothing to say when you are together.

Lying on the bed without falling asleep for a long time, I thought about it and knocked on Mengping's door, "Mengping, are you asleep?"

"No, come in."

Ruping pushed the door open and entered, seeing Mengping painting, "What are you painting?"

"It's nothing, just draw whatever you want." Working as a translator, drawing from elementary school to adulthood can only be regarded as a hobby now.

Ruping sat next to Mengping, watching her draw with a pencil on the notebook, she could vaguely see that it was a person, but she couldn't tell who it was.

"Mengping, do you feel that this family is about to fall apart?"

Mengping paused for a while, then continued to paint as if nothing had happened, "What nonsense are you talking about? Why did our family fall apart?"

"Isn't it? But I really have this feeling. Erhao was driven away by his father, and his mother has no energy. Even Erjie is not as happy as before."

Is it her illusion?But this feeling is really strong.

Mengping doesn't know what Ruping thinks, anyway, she doesn't have this kind of feeling, of course, it's also possible that she doesn't have a strong sense of this kind of thing, "Anyway, I don't have the feeling you said, mom is worried that Erhao is here He has a bad life outside, so he is not energetic, although Erjie is young now, he can also read words, and of course he will not be happy when his family is unhappy."

Ruping thought for a while, and there was indeed such a possibility, and she breathed a sigh of relief, "I hope Erhao can realize that he was wrong, and come back quickly to apologize to Dad, otherwise what should we do if the family really broke up?"

Mengping stopped writing, admiring this work that made her very satisfied, "I think you keep sending money to Er Hao, the less he will come back."

"why?"

"You are free outside, and no one cares about your money. Why do you come back? You saw Dad's attitude that day, and you also saw Erhao's attitude. Neither of them would let the other go. Er Haoqian is telling his father that he has softened, and he will only become more and more unscrupulous."

When Mengping said her point of view, Ruping couldn't help but be speechless, is that so? "Er Hao said he would come back, so he probably wouldn't deliberately not come back."

"Then did he say when he'll be back?"

Ruping was taken aback, this Erhao did not say anything, only said that he would come back in a while, and suddenly thought that his house was rented for three months, could it be that Erhao will wait for three months before returning?

"Then what should we do now? If we don't continue to give him money, will he come back? What if he doesn't come back like Yiping?"

Mengping chuckled, she didn't think Erhao had as much perseverance as Yiping, "Erhao is different from Yiping, Yiping was kicked out with her mother, Erhao ran out by herself, and her father didn't give With Yiping’s money, she can go to work, and Erhao has already worked, but his salary is not enough.”

From luxury to simplicity, from simplicity to luxury is difficult.

Yiping and Fu Wenpei have always had a hard life, working part-time and earning enough money to survive, but Er Hao has always lived a life of a rich man, and suddenly all his sources of income were cut off. He already had a declared job and could no longer Go to other jobs, not to mention that he is not a hard-working character.

Ruping hesitated for a while, after all, she hadn't made up her mind, she still couldn't be too cruel to Erhao.

However, on the second day, when we were having breakfast in the morning, the dining table was still in a frozen atmosphere, and no one spoke. Even if he decided not to send money to Er Hao in the future, he told Shuhuan Du Fei not to lend him any money , so it is estimated that he will retreat in the face of difficulties.

Ruping thinks so, in fact she did the same, and she can't refuse Er Hao face to face, but she doesn't have to meet Er Hao.

Sure enough, within five days, Er Hao took the initiative to come back and admit his mistake, and Lu Zhenhua forgave him, and the matter came to an end, Ruping and Wang Xueqin both heaved a sigh of relief.

Mengping didn't expect that Erhao could not hold on so quickly, she thought he could hold on for ten days and half a month, but it was only five days, it really is that a penny can't beat a hero, besides, Erhao is not a hero .

Since the last time something like that happened in Jiang Yan's rental house, Mengping never went there again, but what she didn't expect was that she actually saw Liao Wenjie at school.

It is her new colleague who translates foreign works with her in the library. She is 20 years old and has just returned from studying in the UK.

Liao Wenjie greeted Mengping as if he was seeing him for the first time. He picked up Mengping and did not open the door. They had met outside the apartment or in the corridor before, but Liao Wenjie said I have no impression of her at all.

Mengping thought it was very strange, but she also thought that maybe this was what Jiang Yan and the others did. They knew each other but could only pretend not to know each other, so she didn't feel it was strange.

Doing translation work as usual, saying a few words from time to time, just like ordinary colleagues.

No, it's not like they are ordinary colleagues, they are ordinary colleagues, there is no special relationship at all.

"Mengping, are you okay?"

At noon, Liao Wenjie yelled suddenly. Mengping looked over suspiciously, and saw Liao Wenjie again and said, "When you're done, let's go have dinner together. Your brother is already waiting for us in the school cafeteria."

"You...can you tell the outside world that you know my brother?" Didn't you "meet each other" before, now you can "know each other"?

Liao Wenjie was so cute by Mengping's expression, he couldn't help smiling, "Don't worry, I've come here to work now, it's fine, let's go."

Mengping nodded half-understood, if there is anything wrong, she would just see her brother and ask him later, if nothing happened, she would be happy and relaxed, but it was too uncomfortable to keep a secret in her heart.

I went to the school cafeteria with Liao Wenjie, and sure enough, I saw Jiang Yan waiting for them, and seeing Liao Wenjie greeted them familiarly, I finally felt relieved.

"Mengping's vigilance is really too strong. Just now, she kept a distance of two meters from me when walking. It's so funny to be afraid of me being a bad person at school."

"What's wrong with being vigilant? You don't have the word "bad person" written on your face, and you can't guarantee that you are a good person after entering school. Of course I have to be on guard."

Both of them knew each other, and Mengping didn't have so many scruples when she spoke. Liao Wenjie smiled again seeing this.
