President, his whole family thinks I'm sick

"Miss Lin, you seem to be too lenient." Xu Lie turned his head, holding the baby bottle that fell on the ground in his hand, and kept wiping the dust on it: "You have also seen that I, as a "single "Father, it's not easy to take care of a child. I can't think about the consequences, but I have to make enough money for her to finish college."

"Maybe for you, the position of money is very erratic, but for me, without money, there is no way for me to raise Xiaotao."

"I know." Lin Manman smiled, and gently coaxed Xiaotao in his arms to sleep: "You need money, I can understand, I will help you."

"I don't need it." Xu Lie laughed, looking at Lin Manman beside him, his eyes were full of sarcasm: "Maybe you don't know, I don't need anyone's help at all."

"The reason why I work with Qiao Xin is because I want my younger sister to have a higher standard of living security, and for Xiao Tao to enter the kindergarten in the city center."

"She promised me that she would help my family, Xiaotao and my sister, but she broke her promise."

Recalling Qiao Xin's tense face and the irritability revealed in her words, Xu Lie's heart almost broke...

I have been busy for so long, but what I got in exchange was not the beautiful clothes and food for my sister and niece, but a suicide note left by my sister who committed suicide.

"What kind of person is your sister?" Lin Manman asked, his eyes flickering at Xu Lie in front of him.

"She is a strong person. Even if that man failed her, she was not discouraged. Instead, she took Xiao Tao and raised her up alone."

"Because she has never met her father, Xiaotao believes that I am her father. No matter how many times I say it, she will not believe that I am her uncle."

Speaking of this, Xu Lie seemed very unhappy. He frowned, cleaned up the mess on the table, and put the milk powder back into the bottle.

It is not difficult to see that this man's technique is very clumsy, as if he is very inexperienced in this matter.

This has already well explained that Xu Lie was forced to become Xiao Tao's caretaker and took care of her to grow up.

"Have you ever thought that your sister didn't die by suicide?" Lin Manman thought for a long time before asking the question in his heart.

"..." Lin Manman's phone call made Xu Lie frown. He looked at Lin Manman beside him with complicated and cloudy eyes.

After a brief silence, Xu Lie opened his mouth slightly, and said in a hoarse voice, "What exactly do you want to say?"

Lin Manman could tell that Xu Lie was scared...

"Qiao Xin is an unpredictable woman. Every step she takes is surprising. What I want to say is that she may be the insider of your sister's suicide..."

People in the know, these three words seem to be able to be disassembled into several meanings, it depends on whether Xu Lie is willing to think about that.

"You're wrong." Xu Lie refuted Lin Manman's words, and this was also expected by Lin Manman, looking at Xu Lie beside him without obvious surprise.

"Although she is an unpredictable woman, she has a good heart."

"Do you know her well?" Listening to Xu Lie's words, Lin Manman asked suspiciously.

"No." Xu Lie replied, "But I can see that she has no bad intentions."

Hearing this, Lin Manman even felt it was funny, she raised her lips, her face was full of helplessness and pity.

Xu Lie seems to be a man who still has compassion for Qiao Xin. Isn't it too much to do this by himself?
"Well, Mommy..." Xiaotao moved in Lin Manman's arms, and her pink mouth kept muttering: "Don't leave Xiaotao..."

The immature childish words, with a heartbreaking taste, reached Lin Manman's ears.

She was surprised, why would Xu Lie's younger sister choose to commit suicide when Xiaotao was so young?
If she really had no hope for the world, Xu Lie and Xiaotao, then it was definitely impossible.

"She loves Xiaotao very much, right?" Lin Manman asked.

Xu Lie was taken aback for a moment, and quickly said, "Yes."

"So you really decided that it was right for your sister to abandon her daughter and choose to leave this world, right?"

"..." Xu Lie didn't answer, as if he was convinced by Lin Manman's words, his eyes were full of anger.

What Lin Manman said was not entirely wrong.

After all, my sister really did everything for Xiaotao.

Even if he endured such a dirty job, why would he choose to fend for himself?
Frowning, Xu Lie's eyes became lowered, and the tingling in his heart constantly reminded him that Lin Manman's words were correct.

"No, it won't." Xu Lie wanted to quibble, glanced at Lin Manman who was full of heartache, and said coldly: "You are my mother-killing enemy, even if my sister was really murdered by Qiao Xin, Why do you come to tell me these things?"

"I didn't kill your mother." Lin Manman sighed: "I don't know what to say to believe you, but believe me, one day, I will show you evidence to let you know that the person you have hated for so many years is not Your mother-killing enemy."

"How can I trust you?" Xu Lie watched Xiao Tao fall asleep, and did not hide the anger in his heart. The dagger he was carrying flashed out: "Ten years ago, when I was a teenager, I took my sister After going out, a fire broke out at home when I came back, spreading to the fields behind the village."

"My mother worked in the fields. In order not to let the only one acre of land in the family be burned, she desperately carried out two bags of grain and gave them to me who was only 15 years old and my 12-year-old sister. .”

"I lost my father when I was young, and I don't have a deep definition of my father, but my mother has worked so hard to raise me. I watched the fire devour her, but I didn't have any ability to go forward and pull her out."

"Later, my sister ran into the fire crying. In order not to hurt her, I had no choice but to carry the burning flames into the fire and hug her out."

As he said that, Xu Lie touched the ferocious side of his face. He didn't dare to recall everything back then. His mother's struggling figure and shrill cry echoed in Xu Lie's ears forever and could not go away for a long time.

"My sister and I lived frugally for two years. I finally gave up my studies and let my sister finish her life in college."

"That's my proud sister, my proud family. I can't abandon her, so I have to work hard to make money and save her future dowry and living expenses now."

"After she came out of college, she brought a child with her, and that child was Xiaotao. I asked her who Xiaotao's father was. She cried, but she refused to tell me."

When Xu Lie said this, he was very excited, his eyes revealed anger and pain, as if he would never forgive the man who failed his sister.

"It's not easy for me and my sister to go out and work hard. Now that I have an extra child, it is a burden for me, and it is also for my sister."

"But it's my younger sister's own flesh and blood. Even though she hates that man, my younger sister still raised Xiao Tao without fear of the eyes of outsiders."

"I don't believe that she will abandon Xiaotao and leave this world, but I also don't believe that you are not my mother-killing enemy." Xu Lie has a different affirmation of this point, and the anger in his eyes is also reflected In Lin Manman's eyes.

If Xu Lie believed that Qiao Xin was a good person, then it would be difficult.

Lin Manman frowned, gently stroking Xiaotao's hair in his arms, with tangled eyes.

Not afraid of the knife in Xu Lie's hand, what she is most worried about now is not being able to keep such a useful person as Xu Lie by her side.

Rather than...
