Chapter 7, Carefree and Unconcerned
On the night I returned, I hid in the room, holding my mother and crying, saying that if it weren't for your grandmother's insistence on not agreeing back then, she would have taken you to Shuzhou long ago
Xu Linlin could not believe that this was real. After driving the car into the parking lot and just backing into the parking space to a stop, she turned around and stared at him, asking:
Xu Linlin knew that he did not want to drive his new car, and with a mischievous smile, she said: "Your dad helped you decorate it beautifully, saving it for your new house to marry your wife. I moved in and lived here for over a year before the bride even arrived. What does it matter if you use my car for a few days?"
Han Xin smiled self-deprecatingly and then asked in confusion, "How do you know about these matters?"
What’s wrong with making a phone call? They will surely be very happy to know that you have returned
Xu Linlin remained as skeptical as ever
"Fraudster, great fraudster, you have deceived us for so many years!"
It seems that none of the members of the old Han family are capable of attending school
There is no need to call tomorrow; I will go see them early in the morning to give them a surprise
"What her dad and her mom, her dad is also your dad!"
"I am not a three-year-old child, I don't need you to accompany me." Han Xin adjusted the seat and fastened her seatbelt, saying: "This car is quite nice."
"You pay the bill later, from now on it will always be you who pays the bill"
Xu Linlin realized: "Then let's fight tomorrow, and inform them again tomorrow."
Alright, let's go up and have a meal
Xu Linlin turned around and said: "She just started her first year of high school, and her grades seem to be less than satisfactory. Your father and her mother might think that the teaching quality in her hometown is better than that in Jiangcheng, so they helped her transfer to Chengnan Middle School. Her mother also returned from Jiangcheng specifically to accompany her studies"
How could you think this way
Xu Linlin felt that he was being perfunctory again, and she said softly: "She... she just feels guilty towards you. These words she has not said to me, but to my dad and mom.
Then why don't you answer her calls, and why don't you reply to her letters
Isn't she always with her dad and mom in Jiangcheng
Han Xin believed that her uncle and aunt would surely be delighted to hear this news, and she explained with a smile: "If you were to call them right now, they would definitely rush over overnight. It's so late, and coming all the way from Tou Dun is quite far; are you sure you are comfortable with that?"
There is no need to go through such trouble; I will take a taxi tomorrow
"Have you seen Da Han Lu during this time? What grade is she in now?" Compared to the half-sister whom she has only met once, Han Xin is more concerned about her full sister.
Because you have deceived me for so many years, causing my compassion to overflow, I do not know how many times I have cried because of you, nor how many tears I have shed because of you
She really doesn't need to think this way; she has not wronged me, and I have never complained about her.
Linlin, I know you might not believe this, and please don't scold me for saying it. When they were going through their divorce back then, I was not sad at all; on the contrary, I was quite happy. I wished they would separate sooner rather than later. Do you think I would blame them for that
Xu Linlin thought for a moment and then smiled, "Brother, aren't you going to my house tomorrow? Drive my car back."
The community is not far from my workplace, it is located in the southern Pearl City, just a few steps away. Brother, since you just returned and do not have a car, you can use mine for now, as I hardly drive it anyway
I am not being polite with you; rather, this car does not suit me to drive
Brother, I have to work tomorrow, so I cannot accompany you. Those of us in training rely on earning some money during the winter and summer vacations as well as holidays.
... ...
This Lulu is not easy to distinguish. A few days ago, I saw Xiao Hanlu. Logically, girls should take after their fathers, but she resembles her mother instead. At just over ten years old, she is already quite overweight, with an estimated weight of around 150 to 160 pounds. I secretly took a photo, which is on my phone; I will find it later to show you.
Is her mother your student
You are the dog, with a wolf's heart and a dog's lungs, deceiving our feelings, extracting our sympathy, and even tricking our tears
At that time, I was young and naive, only thinking that if they separated, there would be no one to take care of me, and I would be free to play as I wished
I have answered this question many times before; I truly do not want to disturb her current life
Alright, I will use it tomorrow
How are you doing, brother? Dahan Lu is already in her second year of university! She came back with her mother during the summer vacation, stayed in Toudun for two days, spent a night in your new house, and also played at our 'Dancing Star' for an afternoon
She is a classmate of our boss's daughter. Her mother has no friends in Linghai, so she enrolled her in our dance class. Although it is said to be for learning dance, it is actually for weight loss
Rest assured, I recognized her, but she only knows that I am a teacher and is unaware of my relationship with you. I have no familial ties with her, nor is there any reason for us to acknowledge each other.
Xu Linlin was taken aback for a moment, then quickly reacted: "Brother, you are truly a talent!"
Han Xin was momentarily taken aback, turning to gaze at the night scene outside that was both familiar and somewhat unfamiliar
After finally getting rid of the annoying novice, Han Xin is now faced with her cousin's endless questions, but her mood is entirely different
Why did I buy it? Wasn't it agreed that you would welcome me?
What is inappropriate
Brother, are you suffering from a cold and fever? Have you become confused due to the fever, to say such nonsensical things!
Stop hitting, can't you see what time it is now
The space is so small; once I earn enough money, I will change to a larger space
Really
Looking back, it seems a bit thoughtless. Han Xin appeared quite embarrassed: "Linlin, I have kept this matter in my heart for so many years and have never told anyone. Just knowing is enough; please do not tell my mom, and do not tell your dad and mom either"
Xu Linlin rummaged through her bag and pulled out the car keys. She took him to the underground parking lot via the elevator, opened the door, and climbed into the newly purchased white Mercedes-Benz. Suddenly, she remembered something.
So many years have passed, and Han Xin has long lost any thoughts. Looking at the increasingly close Wanda Plaza, she murmured:
Everything is quite good, the marriage is harmonious, the family is happy, the daughter is beautiful, sensible, and performs well academically, and now even the son has become a police officer
Is my mother doing well
What has deceived you for so many years, I... I only deceived you out of your pocket money when you were a child. Moreover, when you later went to university and ran out of money, you called me, and I compensated you double. You clearly knew that the money I lent you was like a meat bun thrown to a dog, with no return.
Which Han Lu
I am neither suffering from a cold nor a fever, and I am certainly not confused; I am speaking from the heart
Alright, let's go
I drive your car, what will you do then
Han Xin knew that her niece from her maternal family likely cared for her aunt even more than she did herself, and couldn't help but smile wryly
Xu Linlin smiled knowingly and then said, "Brother, I saw Han Lu a few days ago."
"As long as you are happy." Han Xin nodded
Xu Linlin paused for a moment and then muttered: "My aunt is really something. In this lifetime, she has just married into the Han family. It was not easy for her to clarify things with your father back then, and now she has found another man with the surname Han. Even the name she gave to her child is quite similar to those from your father's side."
Xu Linlin confirmed that he had truly become a police officer and had indeed been reassigned. She could not express how happy she was as she helped organize the luggage and several large boxes of police uniforms, and then picked up her phone to call her parents.
Apart from my grandparents, the ones who care for me the most are my uncle and aunt.
This is more like it, you are still being polite with me
Then let's go to Wanda to have a meal first, and after we finish eating, I will help you buy clothes
