Stealing the moonlight into my arms

After sending her children home, Fu Runing found the atmosphere at home strange.

But no one asked her anything.

Second Aunt saw that she seemed to be hesitant to speak, but she didn't say anything. She just asked her what she wanted to eat for lunch.

Second uncle glanced at her and went out to work.

So Fu Runing walked up to her father and asked quietly, "Dad, why are you looking at me so strangely?"

Fu Zhangnan didn't say anything, just shook his head, "What's so strange about that?"

"Why does Second Uncle look at me like that?"

Fu Zhangnan scolded him seriously, "Why do you care what he thinks of you? He's just having a problem."

"Oh..." Fu Runing nodded.

It's probably because of Xiao Jingting's matter that my father and second uncle had a conflict at home.

So that’s the look that Second Uncle has.

Second Uncle is really...

Fu Runing couldn't help but smile, "Dad, you and Second Uncle are so different in personality. One of you is good at literature, the other is good at martial arts. Our grandparents don't know how they gave birth to you two."

Fu Zhangnan still felt angry when he thought about the nonsense Fu Jinbei said.

In a rare act of personal attack, he attacked his younger brother: "He's illiterate and has a lot of bad habits."

In Fu Runing's cognition since childhood, her second uncle was a very secular man, very patriarchal, and to use the fashionable words today, very fatherly. He could be said to be the epitome of many ordinary middle-aged men today.

When they achieve a little bit of success, they become arrogant; when they make some money, they consider themselves successful entrepreneurs.

Fu Runing asked her father to sit down and stood behind him affectionately to massage his shoulders.

"Dad, my second uncle has a lot of problems, but didn't you always tell me that when I was very young, there was a flood in Shengzhou one year, and when we were evacuated, we were separated. It was my second uncle who found me despite the danger and carried me on his back for a long time before we reached a safe place. You said that he didn't even have time to take care of my brother before he went to find me. He didn't even know where my brother was at that time. Later, he said that my brother was a boy and had a tough life, so he had to take care of me first."

When talking about the past, Fu Zhangnan's expression became better and he was not as angry as before.

Fu Runing continued, "When I was a kid, I was bullied by other kids. I never told you. You would have just gone to the parents to reason with them. But my second uncle took a wooden stick and took me to settle the score. He said that those kids would just scare you, they would back off quickly, so there was no need to use force. Why would you reason with them..."

Fu Runing laughed out loud when she talked about this. At that time, her second uncle always told her that if she was hit by someone, she should fight back without hesitation, and then hold on until the adults came to support her, otherwise she would be doing herself a disservice.

Fu Runing remembered that when she first moved here, she was the boss among the kids here. No one dared to laugh at her for not having a mother. If anyone heard a word of it, her second uncle would come to talk about her relationship with her.

The key point is that this villa area is still inhabited by wealthy people who made their fortunes in Shengzhou City in the early years. Neighbors are still busy maintaining relationships with each other, but my second uncle is arrogant. He is friendly when he should be friendly, and cunning when he should be cunning. He will not give up until he achieves his goal.

Any child who said she had no mother was asked to apologize to her.

My second uncle made his fortune in engineering, and what he is best at is dealing with all kinds of people. He speaks in jargon to the blacks and in plain words to the whites. Sometimes he wears a safety helmet to the construction site and can chat with the workers like brothers.

When she was a child, Fu Runing felt that she was very happy. She had a gentle and doting father, an arrogant and domineering second uncle who stood up for her, and an aunt who took care of her in every detail. Although not having a mother might be her eternal regret, her family members all tried their best to love her.

Fu Zhangnan felt uncomfortable when he heard what his daughter said.

He said with some emotion: "Ningning, Dad doesn't want you to be so sensible."

Fu Runing smiled sweetly, "People have to grow up eventually. I won't be five years old forever."

"Besides, it's normal for Second Uncle to support Jing Ting. After all, it was Jing Ting's family who saved him. Even if he's pretending, he has to act warm and friendly. When Jing Ting comes home, we give him the cold shoulder. Shouldn't Second Uncle smooth things over? He's very smart."

Fu Runing said with a smile, "And isn't Second Uncle earning money for our family's livelihood? When has he ever been vague about your affairs? Even when your fake father-in-law wanted to build a house, he hired someone to do it. When you wanted to adopt Luo Luo, he registered the child without a second thought."

"Second uncle is already in his fifties and he didn't dare to say a word after you said a few words to him. Why are you still arguing with him? You are a big man and don't bear grudges."

Fu Zhangnan's brows were relaxed by his daughter's understanding.

He looked at his daughter, and some words were on the tip of his tongue, but he swallowed them back.

After a while, he asked with some regret: "Can you and A Zheng really live in peace after your divorce?"

Fu Runing's lips curled up slightly. "Why not? As long as I'm not embarrassed, he's the one who's embarrassed. Don't worry about me. It's nothing."

After that, Fu Zhangnan didn't say anything else and didn't dwell on this topic any further.

He thought for a moment, then asked awkwardly, "Ning Ning, are you and Feng Yan from next door in a relationship?"

Fu Runing was stunned...

Ah this...

Dad is not a gossipy person, so where did he hear the rumor from?

"Dad...where did you hear that? How come Brother Feng Yan and I are dating?"

Fu Zhangnan turned to look at his daughter and said, "His stepmother has been sending gifts to our house these past few days. Your second aunt has received them several times. She said the fish you ate last night was the one her husband brought back from a sea fishing trip. When she met me, she even politely told me that they knew a cancer expert abroad."

"That's because we have good neighborly relations. Aunt Su Qing even gave me gifts. Have you seen the photos I posted on WeChat Moments? Those three cute wooden sculptures of kittens were given to me by Aunt Su Qing."

Fu Runing blinked and pretended nothing happened.

"Then we should return the favor someday. It's not like we're not even related to each other and always take advantage of others."

Fu Runing thought about it and agreed immediately: "Okay, Aunt Su Qing can't cook, just ask her to come home for dinner."

Not long after, the father and daughter ended their conversation.

Fu Runing picked up her phone, found her contacts, and sent a message to Su Qing.

"Aunt Su Qing, my father invited you to dinner at our house. He said we're neighbors, but you're really polite. When are you free?"

She originally thought that Su Qing would refuse for a while, but she replied very quickly.

"Okay, I'm free tonight."

"Today is also possible."

Fu Runing thought that Aunt Su Qing was so cute. Her gentle and generous face appeared in her mind, but she didn't expect her personality to be like this.

No wonder Brother Feng Yan has a good relationship with his stepmother. Who doesn’t like such an unselfish personality?

Fu Runing sent a message in the family group, asking if she could treat guests to dinner in the evening.

I have to ask the opinion of the head of the family, Second Aunt.

Of course she had no objection to Second Aunt replying quickly.

My second uncle didn't hear any news for a long time.

Forget it, his opinion is not important and no one will take his words seriously.

Second Aunt asked her how many people there were in the group, and Fu Runing replied that there should be two.

After all, besides Aunt Su Qing, there is also Brother Feng Yan. It doesn't make sense to invite the mother but not the son.

As for Aunt Su Qing's husband, she seemed to have never seen him. They, mother and son, lived in the villa next door.

After a while, Fu Runing sent a message to Su Qing.

"Auntie, is Feng Yan's father coming?"

"If you're not coming, can you bring Ayan?"

Fu Runing replied: "Of course you can."

After the communication here was completed, Fu Runing replied to the second aunt, two people.

……

After Xiao Jingting finished the morning meeting and returned to the office, his phone showed a call from a private number.

He saw the caller ID and picked up the phone.

"Second uncle, what's wrong?"

"Jingting, am I interrupting you at work? The surveillance system at home is still not working properly. Yunting Technology's after-sales technical service needs to be improved. I can't even see the surveillance system when I go back to check it."

Xiao Jingting said calmly: "I asked them to hurry up and come to debug."

"Why don't you just come to my house and take a look after you get off work?"

Perhaps Xiao Jingting felt guilty, and he did not understand the hidden meaning of Fu Jinbei's words.

His mind was focused on this surveillance.

And the key word he caught was 'reverse surveillance'.

Why do you need to check the surveillance camera for no reason?

Let him go back and debug it. I'm afraid he will never be able to debug this monitoring system in his lifetime.

Even so, Xiao Jingting still agreed.

"Okay, I'll go home and take a look after work."

But after a moment, perhaps feeling guilty, Xiao Jingting calmly asked, "Second Uncle, what do you want to do with the surveillance camera?"

Fu Jinbei would never say that he wanted to find out who the yellow-haired man who came in and out of his house was. After all, his daughter's reputation was important.

"Isn't this for safety reasons? Ning Ning told me before that she encountered a gangster, but she didn't explain what happened. Surveillance is still very important."

Xiao Jingting held the phone in his hand and said calmly, "Okay, I'll go back and take a look."

After hanging up the phone, he put the phone on the table and tapped it with his fingertips.

rogue.

That's what Fu Runing said about him.
