This parent is a bit cold

The endless arguments and endless entanglements made Ji Ming exhausted.

It was only later that Ling Mo didn't contact her by force.

Cheng Siyan began to spread money everywhere, not only bought the inn, but also planned to start a thorough investigation of Gu Ruoqing and Ji Ming's past.

What can threaten these two people, other than family members?

Gu Ruoqing's words were like a sword hanging from her heart, stabbing her heart from time to time.

She seemed to be able to understand what it was like to be distressed and what it was like to be worried.

In the past, maybe she was just curious and couldn't swallow that breath. Now she wants to know Gu Ruoqing deeply, wants to know her past, her experiences, and everything she hides in her heart that no one knows.

On the eve of the start of school, Ling Mo had been thinking about resigning. She didn't want Ji Ming to make a big fuss. The transfer of the child would definitely affect the whole family.

It doesn't matter to her, since she is alone, she can move around as she pleases, she can resign and find a new job, or even change careers...

I don't know when it started, Ling Mo became a little humble, she can't do much for Ji Ming, maybe this is barely one thing.

In early spring, it coincided with Cheng Siyan's birthday, and the three of them went to Cheng's house for a birthday party at noon.

Cheng Siyan's parents used to be provincial cadres, and they still have many old acquaintances and old friends after retirement. They only have Cheng Siyan, the jewel in their palm, and they have always regarded it as a treasure.

Cheng Siyan didn't want to have a baby, they didn't force it, Cheng Siyan wanted to open a shopping mall, they didn't object, everything Cheng Siyan wanted, he would try his best to satisfy.

The old man has a child when he is old, and now he is almost 80 years old, and he just wants his daughter to be safe and happy.

So every birthday, they invite relatives and friends to hold a party to give their daughter a sense of ceremony.

It is also because of the influence of the two elders that Ling Weixiang's official career will skyrocket later.

As for whether Cheng Siyan married Ling Weixiang for gratitude or for other reasons, it doesn't matter, as long as she is willing, it is better than anything else.

What's more, Ling Weixiang was originally a student who was valued by the two elders, as long as he didn't bully their daughter and had a good character, he could do anything.

The small talk between the elders and the entertainment in the officialdom made Ling Mo very disgusted.She doesn't want to attend Cheng Siyan's birthday every year. It looks like a celebration, but it's actually a political situation.

In the afternoon, they returned to Cheng Siyan's villa. Ling Mo planned to DIY a birthday cake by herself. She didn't know how to cook, so it was okay to make desserts.

After all, Cheng Siyan was on the same team as her now, so she had to rely on her to fight against her father.

Cheng Siyan answered the phone on the balcony. The private investigator he hired seemed to have found something.

Ling Weixiang sat on the sofa and read the newspaper, glancing at Cheng Siyan who was talking on the phone from time to time.

"Ji Huaming is notorious for not only domestically abusing his wife and children, but also addicted to gambling. It is said that he owed a huge sum of millions before his death. When Ji Ming was very young, his house was mortgaged. Later, the whole family lived in a dilapidated tile-roofed house. By the way, when Ji Ming was eight years old, he was admitted to the hospital because of his beating and suffered a head injury. At that time, the villagers did not dare to stop him, fearing that the mad dog would bite him, so Ji Ming was almost raped in his childhood. Hit the big one."

Cheng Siyan frowned slightly, trying to make her expression look peaceful. The closed glass door of the living room blocked her voice.

Listening to the private detective's depressing report, she couldn't help lighting up a cigarette.

"go on."

"Ji Huaming's wife is also a victim of domestic violence, but she is a typical old-fashioned rural woman who regards her husband as her god, willing to work without complaint, beating and scolding, so she has no ability to protect her daughter, but his sister-in-law..."

Sister-in-law, it must be Ruoqing, Cheng Siyan took a deep breath.

Finally, what she most wanted to hear came.

"My sister-in-law, Gu Ruoqing, has excelled in her studies since she was a child. After her parents passed away, she lived with her sister. She has a relatively rigid personality. Whenever her brother-in-law beats her sister and niece, she will stop her and be affected. But because her parents died early and she is a minor, In the years of middle and high school, I was almost supported by my sister."

"Is there anything else, has she been injured, or..." Cheng Siyan didn't know what he wanted to ask, and always felt that Gu Ruoqing's psychological shadow was related to this past.

The other end of the phone paused, and replied: "I haven't heard of this, but it must have been miserable. She has a very good relationship with her sister. The eldest sister is like a mother, and because her age is not much different from Ji Ming, she gets along well. Very close, but she left her sister's house suddenly in the second year of high school, and went back to her parents' hut alone, and never went to Ji Ming's house again."

"Do you know why?"

"Everyone in the village said that she wanted to study quietly for the college entrance examination. Because her family was poor and couldn't afford to live in the school, it took her two hours to commute to and from school every day, and the two villages were far apart at that time. Send some food to maintain, and secretly stuff money to maintain. After the college entrance examination, Gu Ruoqing went to work directly, and only appeared at Guo Ji's house when he got the admission notice, and then he never went back there, as if he disappeared from the world."

Cheng Siyan breathed out smoke rings leisurely, his blurred eyes were covered with a thin layer of mist.In the depths of the mist, Gu Ruoqing's face appeared, but he couldn't see clearly.

"How did Ji Huaming die?"

"It is said that it was washed away by the flood, but some people said it was a suicide. It is almost a mystery. Anyway, the corpse was never seen. The graves in the village are all clothes tombs, and relatives helped build them. Only Ji Ming and her daughter came back at the funeral. , Gu Ruoqing didn’t see anyone. Mr. Cheng, you’ve asked everyone you can, and I’m still in the village, what else do you want to know?”

Cheng Siyan stubbed out the cigarette butt, turned the lighter in his hand, and did not speak.

As night fell, the last yellow glow slowly disappeared, and the light in Cheng Siyan's eyes gradually dimmed.

"Boss Cheng?"

"Go and find out the person who lent money to Ji Huaming back then, and bring them to me."

"Okay, I'll do my best."

"En." After hanging up the phone, Cheng Siyan turned around, and a gloomy and terrifying face suddenly appeared, with a smile on his mouth, and cold eyes. Through the glass door, Cheng Siyan felt a sense of oppression that he had never felt before.

Ling Weixiang stood silently in the living room, smiling at himself with his hands behind his back.

Xu was too focused on the phone, she ignored the shadow behind her.I don't know when he came, how long he stood there, and whether he heard his last words.

Cheng Siyan asked himself countless people and had the ability to know people. He and Ling Weixiang respected each other and never interfered.But today, she suddenly felt that the person in front of her was very strange, so strange that it was scary.

With a peaceful and kind look in his eyes, he smiled and said, "Momo has made a cake, come in after the call."

It seemed to be calm and nothing special.

Cheng Siyan nodded, opened the door and entered.

"Sister Si Yan, come here and make a wish first." Ling Mo blurted out the word "sister", Ling Weixiang's smile froze, and he said, "It doesn't matter whether it's big or small, is it appropriate to be called Sister Si Yan?"

Ling Mo didn't take it seriously: "I don't think there's anything inappropriate. Didn't I just call her that when I was young?"

"When I was a child, it was when I was a child, and now is now, where the generations are here, how can I change at will?"

Cheng Siyan smiled: "You can call it whatever you want, I don't care."

"It doesn't matter to you. The generations in a family are messed up. How decent is it?" Ling Weixiang and Cheng Siyan must maintain the harmony between husband and wife. Over the years, the balance cannot be tilted. Ling Mo doesn't know how the husband and wife get along, and he can't make his daughter feel like a father. For the future, he married a wife in name.

Things that make him lose face must be killed.

Ling Mo and Cheng Siyan looked at each other and shook their heads in disappointment.

Cherry blossom themed cake, decorated with pink cream like petals, full of dreamy colors of spring.

This is Ling Mo's masterpiece. She inserted an 18-year-old candle and said intentionally, "Today is Sister Si Yan's birthday. Why are you so old-fashioned? Sister is better than stepmother, right?"

"The stepmother is also a mother. It's a concession to not let you call me mom. If you don't call me a sister, you just don't allow it." Ling Weixiang suddenly went online. Everything was caused by him, and he suddenly lost his temper.

She retorted: "There are no outsiders in the family now, and you are not at work, so why use a commanding tone to talk to family members, I'm afraid you are addicted to being a leader."

"You..." Ling Wei was so exhausted that he was speechless, and Cheng Siyan hurriedly stretched out his hand, pulling the distance between the two of them: "You two, give me a little face for this birthday person, okay? I'm planning to make a wish, and my birthday at noon is a social event, so I'm only doing it now." It's my time, you're not going to deprive me of the most privileged moment of the year?"

The gap between father and daughter is like a crack on the wall of an ancient city. After passing through the sun, the moon and the stars, the wind and rain have devastated them, and there will be cracks that are difficult to heal throughout their lives.

The smoke that rose quietly was wiped out by Cheng Siyan, and she symbolically began to make a wish.

"I don't have any wishes, I just hope that the father and daughter can open up their hearts, be honest with each other, and eliminate the barrier as soon as possible."

I don't know if she did it on purpose, or if she kindly persuaded her, she deliberately mentioned the words "frank and honest".

Ling Weixiang remained silent, and Ling Mo said angrily, "How can it be effective when you say your wish?"

"If you don't express your wish, you will treat me as a transparent person. If you argue, you will quarrel." Cheng Siyan blew out a candle.

"Don't make insinuations when you speak. When did my dad and I not treat each other honestly?"

"Do you know that in your heart?"

The two sang together and pretended to bicker and play oboe.Every sentence projected Ling Weiwei, he wasn't stupid, but he didn't show his emotions or anger.

"Okay, don't quarrel on a good day, let's eat cake." He smiled, became approachable, and switched emotions freely.

The benevolent look of the veteran cadre makes it impossible to associate him with those excessive behaviors.

The three of them had their own thoughts, and ate the cake well, making it seem like a silent mourning. Ling Mo was thinking about coming out today, Cheng Siyan was full of the report of the private detective, and Ling Weixiu kept it secret, and couldn't see anything unusual.

"I'll go to Haixi in two days and buy an inn." Cheng Siyan said while eating the cake, since she didn't start chatterbox, she'll do it.

Ling Weixiang raised his eyes, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes: "What kind of shop do you want? You have to go to a shop in other places when you have such a big business?"

"Isn't it because I went to play during the Spring Festival and met Boss Liu who runs the inn? She said that there was an inn to be sold over there and asked me if I was interested in investing. She has limited funds. I like it quite a bit and plan to buy it for vacation."

"Which one? The one next door?" Ling Mo asked intentionally.

"Yi Qingzhou, not far away, I heard that the boss over there is leaving Haixi."

"It's a pity. I don't know what happened to give up such a good place. It's a good place for outstanding people and a seclusion."

"Yeah, a good place can't be handed over to others. It doesn't have much money anyway, so just buy it."

Once the seeds of anger were planted in his heart, they would always ignite. Ling Weixiang endured and tolerated the words between the two of them, and it is still the same now.

He dropped the cake in his hand, and said with a cold face: "I have always hoped that our family can be harmonious, and now it seems that you don't want this."

Finally forced out his heart.

Ling Mo secretly raised the corner of his mouth and looked at Cheng Siyan.

"Uncle Xiang, your words are serious. The conversation between me and Momo didn't mean to tear down the house, did it?"

"Father must be dissatisfied with me."

"Hmph, I do things aboveboard, and I'm not afraid of all the difficulties and obstacles I've encountered in my official career. Are you afraid that you will check me and question me?" He is in control of everything. Point broken.

If it wasn't for Ling Mo and Cheng Siyan talking to each other, he really didn't want to tear himself apart today.

"Heh, Dad sent us away to find trouble with others, calling it open and aboveboard?" Ling Mo still can't believe it, and can't understand what he did.

"You're the absurd one, don't you think it's shameful enough? You live in a married woman's house every day, entangled to death, what are you trying to do?"

"Picture what? I picture a person who can make me feel at ease. I picture a person who gave me everything. I picture a person who gives me wholeheartedly without asking for anything in return. What do you think I want?"

Ling Weixiang was very angry, but he couldn't bear to think of Ling Mo's passed away mother, and thinking of himself being busy with work and neglecting to accompany him.

"I know that Ji Ming took good care of you at school, so Dad turned a blind eye and helped her deal with her troubles. This is my gratitude and feedback to her for taking care of you. In the past so many years, you should accept I'm worried, Dad is going to retire, and I plan to spend more time with you and grandparents in the future to make up for the shortcomings of these years." He felt that he was old and wanted to return to the family, but the lost time and emotions were like cracks, which could not be repaired.

"I have passed the time when I need you. Since you gave me freedom, please give it to the end. I might as well tell you that if I am not with Ji Ming, I will not be with others. You're a living nun, don't even think about holding a grandson, it's impossible." Ling Mo made up his mind, and no matter what methods Ling Weixiang used, he couldn't force him.

Even if she can't get back together with Ji Ming, she won't marry anyone, at worst, like Gu Ruoqing, she will be alone and end up with the rest of her life.

"It seems that I shouldn't have indulged you these years. I shouldn't have given you the freedom to give birth to these unethical thoughts because of my guilt towards your mother." Ling Weixiang felt that Ling Mo was obedient on the surface, but in fact It is a wild horse that has run away and cannot be pulled back.

He somewhat regretted his laissez-faire, the father and daughter drifting away made him sad, but when he wanted to pull it back, it was already too late.

"Dad, I'm already 29. I've lived alone outside these years, worked hard by myself, and never relied on you. I really don't need you to arrange my life for me." Ling Mo tried to communicate calmly: "In all fairness, superior I have always been protected by my upbringing environment and a life without worrying about food and clothing, and I have never experienced any hardships, but this kind of family background that others look up to makes me always envious of others. I even envied Ji Ming and experienced the world Suffering, but also understand the preciousness of food and clothing."

"You really don't know the heights of the heavens and the earth." Ling Wei finally exploded: "Are you stupid to envy Ji Ming? Do you know what kind of father Ji Ming has? Do you know what she went through when she was a child? You were born in Fukuoka. It's ridiculous and childish for Zhong Zhifu to dare to say such unreasonable things." His anger was released with the volume, like a roaring beast, almost out of control.

Seeing the opportunity, Cheng Siyan interjected: "Momo, don't say such ignorant words, many people dream of growing up in this kind of family environment."

"But I would rather be born in an ordinary family than lose my mother and father's company since I was a child, and now be bound by his desire to control." Ling Mo pointed at Ling Weixiang, his eyes were slightly red, and his voice was a little choked up.

This accusation completely angered him.

"What do you know?! If I hadn't arranged for someone to take Ji Huaming away to solve the follow-up troubles and fake his death. Ji Ming would have been sold by her father to pay off the debt, do you know? Don't say I wouldn't accept you being with a woman Together, even if you are with a woman, you can't have anything to do with a woman from a family like Ji Ming."

Ling Mo and Cheng Siyan were stunned in astonishment.

"You mean, Ji Ming's father is not dead?" Ling Mo couldn't believe it, and every breath became heavy. Didn't he die a long time ago?

Ling Weixiang sneered: "That's right, he was just trying to avoid debts. I didn't control him. Do you think Ji Ming's family will live in peace like this? How could I let you and his sister-in-law be beaten like this kind of animal father?" Daughter is fooling around, she is not worthy!"

Cheng Siyan's heart skipped a beat, he rushed forward and grabbed Ling Weixiang, and asked frightenedly, "What did you say? You...you said he violated my sister-in-law??"

The author has something to say: In a slightly fatter chapter, the stepmother knows the truth, what should Ruoqing do, 5555

What about Momo and Mingming, 555, it's too difficult
