Chapter 181 The Third Time and Space 27
Chen Ming's tone was serious, as if he was holding back his anger, he asked Chen Shuo, "What are you laughing at?"

Zeng Li replied a little perfunctorily, "I didn't laugh, Dad, you may have misunderstood too much." Dad's word was a bit emphatic, and Xie Jiao was amused by Zeng Li again.

But Chen Ming must have really drunk a lot, he didn't hear anything unusual, and was easily put off by Zeng Li. After that, he sighed, as if thinking of his own difficulty, as if The helplessness of not being understood, he said, "Xiao Shuo, you don't understand, they are different, you Aunt Xie Ting, she is different from your mother. You can see your mother's sadness, but you can't see the pain in your father's heart. "

The voice stopped here, and Xie Jiao heard another sigh.

Xie Jiao waited for Zeng Li to continue asking him, but before Zeng Li asked, Chen Ming said by himself again, "You think I have a good relationship with your mother, that's just a superficial appearance, yes, she was the one I chased after, no Fake, our relationship was indeed very good at the beginning, but your grandpa just looked down on me, no matter how hard I tried, he never gave me a good face, in your grandpa's house, Dad never had a say, even my No matter how unhappy I am, I dare not say a word of no. No one takes me seriously. Why trample on me like that, just because I'm poor I'm going to be inferior to others."

Zeng Li interrupted him: "Yes, grandpa has a bad temper, and you were wronged, but you already knew that he was difficult to get along with, and you couldn't stand his temper, so why didn't you separate from your mother then?" , why can't you bear it now if you could bear it then?"

Chen Ming: "I was able to bear it because of your mother. At that time, I had a relationship with your mother. She loved me, and I was a man. A man has to take responsibility. I can't just because your grandpa treats me badly." It is my father's responsibility to let her down despite the difficulties."

Chen Shuo: "Then what are your responsibilities and responsibilities now?"

Chen Ming: "Now, that's also your mother's fault. Do you think I want to divorce because I can live on? We couldn't live on a long time ago. Yes, at the beginning, it would be great when we just got married. , but later, I endured so much cold stare for her, I did so much for her, but as for her, not long after we got married, she changed, her natal family still looked down on me, and she also started to look at me No more, she started nagging me non-stop, accusing me, saying that I didn’t do this well or that I didn’t do it right, and the tone of accusing me was just like your grandpa’s. Tired, it’s not easy for Dad, do you know that when I get home, I don’t have any requirements, I just want to eat a warm meal and listen to some warm words. Talk about me, tell me what to do and what to do, as if what I do is wrong, I really, at that time my father was afraid to go home, listening to her keep blaming me in my ear, I really I don’t want to go back to this house anymore, I’m really tired. But I can’t not come back, you were still at home, you were still young at that time, you were my only son, you are so cute, I can’t leave you alone, I have to be responsible for you. Therefore, I can only continue to endure your mother. In order to allow you to grow up physically and mentally, I pretended that there was no grievance. I pretended in front of you that our husband and wife are loving and our family has a good relationship. So Xiaoshuo, do you know that it is not father's fault that we separated from your mother, it is their family who bullied others too much, it is your mother who not only repented, but I endured it for the sake of responsibility, but the limit of human patience is limited, father really I'm so tired. Can you understand Dad now? Dad is all for you."

Chen Ming stopped, he drank another sip of wine, and then said leisurely again, "But your Aunt Xie Ting is different, she is gentle and obedient, she is obedient to me, she also loves to laugh, and always uses admiration Looking at me, being with her, I will feel like a man, a dignified and useful man. It is also from knowing her that I know what the warmth of a family is. Being with her, I am very relaxed and happy. She is very happy, and she won’t start to mention trivial things to me as soon as I get home. She will make me tea and play a piece of light music, then massage my head, and ask me in a soft voice if I’m tired today. Not tired, and then talk to me about some work or interesting things in life, I think this is what life should be like. And the most important point, Xiaoshuo, she promised her father that she will treat you Good. This is the premise for me to accept her."

Chen Shuo: "I'm not worried about this. I just think, there is another point, have you ever thought about it, the principal of your business is paid by your mother, and she gave everything to make you today."

Chen Ming: "Her principal is only [-]. I don't know how many times I have paid her back. I don't owe her, but now she owes me."

Speaking of this, Xie Jiao raised her head from the textbook and looked at the connected mobile phone. What she said earlier was shameless enough. Will she say that she doesn't owe Zhang Xiao again?What do you mean not owe her?Also, why did Zhang Xiao owe him?Without Zhang Xiao, would he be where he is today?He didn't forget the well digger when he was drafting water. He completely brushed off his own faults in the previous sentence and blamed Zhang Xiao's family. Will he say that he doesn't owe others?
Xie Jiao wanted to hang up the phone, but after thinking about it, she still held back and continued to listen, but then the two of them didn't talk about any substantive topics. After clearing themselves, Chen Ming began to explain to Chen Shuo My father is in love, and it seems that he not only wants to divorce, but also wants to win over his son. He obviously doesn't give anything, but he still wants to drive a wedge between his son and Zhang Xiao, and let his son stand by him.

Oh, really shameless.

Xie Jiao didn't want to listen to the useless words later, she hung up the phone and started to concentrate on her studies.After Xie Jiao finished all the homework, it was still early, so she opened the math exercise book and started to do it.

About an hour later, there was a knock on the door.At first, Xie Jiao thought that she had heard it wrong, or that it was the knock on the door of the neighbor next door.But the knock on the door continued. She put down her pen, walked to the door of the room, and listened carefully again.

It was indeed a knock.

But she and Xie Ting had moved away for a while, so no one she knew would come here, and it was so late now, who would come?

Xie Jiao suddenly became a little scared, she walked to the door softly, and then looked outside the door through the cat's eyes.

But suddenly, the cat's eyes were blocked by people outside the door, Xie Jiao's eyes went dark, and she couldn't see anything.

Therefore, the people outside the door knew that there was someone at home, and they also knew that she was standing at the door. Who could be outside the door?
Xie Jiao frowned, she glanced to the side, there was an iron hanger on the hanger at the door, Xie Jiao reached out quietly, tiptoed down the iron hanger, and stood at the door when she was ready. It's an old anti-theft door. If the person at the door starts to pry the door after a while, she will...

Xie Jiao listened vigilantly to the voices outside the door, and then she heard Zeng Li's laughter, "Xie Jiao, are you standing at the door with that hanger in front of your house?"

Xie Jiao relaxed, and then she heard Zeng Li's voice, "Open the door, it's me, Zeng Li."

This time, Xie Jiao completely relaxed. In this world, only he knows that she is "Xie Jiao", and only she knows that he is Zeng Li.

Xie Jiao put down the hanger and opened the door.

The moment the door was opened, the sensor light outside the door came on.Xie Jiao saw Zeng Li's good-looking face. Because of the wine just now, his usually white and almost transparent skin is now slightly flushed, and the aggressive look is also because of this slight redness. And it became much softer. At this moment, his whole body seemed to have a warm aura.

Xie Jiao looked at him unexpectedly, "Why are you here?" They had agreed before that they would meet at school tomorrow morning.

Zeng Li walked in, then closed the door behind him, "I'm afraid you won't be safe alone."

Xie Jiao hung up the clothes in her hand, "I've locked the door, so it's not safe."

Regarding her bravado, Zeng Li explained with a helpless smile, "Okay, let me put it another way, I'm afraid you will be afraid alone."

Xie Jiao continued to speak stubbornly, "What am I afraid of?" After finishing speaking, she turned around and was about to enter the house.

But behind him, Zeng Li grabbed her arm, and he pulled her back. In front of him, Zeng Li looked into her eyes seriously, "Aren't you afraid what are you doing with the hanger?"

Xie Jiao looked away, and perfunctorily said angrily when she was exposed, "Nothing."

After that, Zeng Li put down her hand, and neither of them spoke anymore.Time passed by second by second, the two stood quietly, Xie Jiao gradually began to regret it.

She said something wrong just now, but she didn't mean it, or she just said it without reaction.

It’s not easy for Zeng Li to come here from Chen Ming’s house. The bus has already run out at this time, and Chen Ming’s house is in a villa area, so it’s impossible to get a taxi at night because Zeng Li doesn’t have a driver’s license in this world, so he can’t drive Chen Ming He came out of her car, and he had been drinking just now, so when he came to her place, he had to walk a few kilometers until he reached a bustling area before he could take a taxi.

And this early winter season, and it was in the middle of the night, how cold it must be to walk several kilometers in a row. Xie Jiao knew, and she also realized it belatedly at this time, his face was red, and the tips of his ears were also red. In fact, it wasn't because of the alcohol, he had walked such a long way here, the alcohol had worn off long ago, and the redness on his face was clearly from the cold.

But he still came, and he came without hesitation.

She knew that he was worried about her, and it was so difficult for him to come to accompany her, but she not only didn't appreciate it, but also acted indifferent.

He must be sad.

Also, get mad.

Xie Jiao reached out to pull Zeng Li's sleeve, but he dodged it.
