The lipstick I used on my mother in the morning was originally from the same brand.

The reason she was able to fool Li Hui was that she never wore makeup.

But if you meet someone who knows the business, you definitely can’t hide it.

"Mom, when I look back, if I come across that stall, I'll bring her one."

"Okay, I'll tell her tomorrow."

Seeing that her mother didn't insist on the lipstick, Xia Chutang breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Mom, I'll help you put on your makeup tomorrow morning."

"No need. You have time to sleep a little longer." Li Hui felt sorry for her daughter.

Xia Chutang smiled and said, "Mom, I have to get up and help Doctor Lu make breakfast, just by the way."

Hearing what her daughter said, Li Hui stopped what she was doing and worried: "Tangtang, although Dr. Lu is the benefactor of our family, you should focus on studying now..."

"Mom, I have to eat in the morning anyway. Besides, Dr. Lu has a coffee machine at home, so I can make a cup of it. It will refresh me."

"But……"

Li Hui was afraid that her daughter would have other thoughts about Lu Chengyuan.

The age of seventeen or eighteen is the time when a girl is pregnant.

just in case……

Zhen Zhen and Lu Chengyuan had something to do with each other.

Then they have no place to reason.

"Mom, I know that my most important task is to study."

Xia Chutang noticed her mother's sadness and comforted her: "I will take care of it, Dr. Lu. Don't worry."

"Then please be careful."

Li Hui couldn't say anything, so she could only tell her daughter: "No matter how good Doctor Lu is, he is still an adult man. You are still young, so be careful to keep your distance."

Xia Chutang agreed and changed the topic: "Mom, I'm going to play in the Provincial Gymnasium starting tomorrow morning. I may come back later in the evening recently."

"Huh? Going to play a game?"

Thinking of the "subsidy" her daughter got back during the Dragon Boat Festival, Li Hui asked, "How long will it take? Will it affect my homework?"

"It should be about a week."

Xia Chutang wanted to do her own thing in the name of competition.

"I'm just afraid of missing class, so I go to my classmates' houses to make up classes after school in the evening. So I come back later."

"Is your classmate's home far away? How can you come back at night?"

Li Hui washed the last bowl and looked at her daughter, who was a little taller than her, with worry in her eyes: "Tangtang, are you hiding something from me?"

Xia Chutang waved her hands quickly, "Absolutely not. I will come back before the bus stops running. If it is later, my friend's parents will send it to me. Mom, I am already so old, don't worry."

"Oh, how could I not be worried?"

Li Hui scraped her daughter's small nose and cherished it: "You are my daughter. Even if you are 60 years old, I will worry about you while you are alive."

Xia Chutang thought of her gray-haired mother in her previous life, who would always tell her to eat well and dress warmly.

It's just that she was ignorant at that time and always found her mother annoying and told her to "shut up".

"Mom, it's great to have you here."

Xia Chutang hugged her mother's shoulders, lowered her head in her arms, and murmured, "I used to be blamed for being too ignorant."

Li Hui was startled for a moment, then smiled angrily and patted her daughter on the shoulder: "Get up! How old is this child for acting like a spoiled brat?"

"mom--"

Xia Chutang was greedy for the smell and warmth of her mother, and asked, "You and my dad..."

After returning from the big countryside, everyone made a tacit agreement not to mention Xia Chutang's father.

It has been more than half a month since Li Hui's arm was broken last time.

This "father" never appeared.

Xia Chutang had avoided mentioning it before because she was afraid that her mother would be agitated.

Today, while Li Hui was in a good mood, she wanted to confirm her mother's attitude.

When she mentioned her husband, the joy and warmth on Li Hui's face were replaced by indifference, and she said calmly: "Tangtang, you have grown up now, and I won't hide it from you anymore. I have been struggling with it every day since I was hospitalized."

Xia Chutang held her mother's hand, pulled her to sit on the sofa, and listened quietly.

"No matter how bad he is, his surname is Xia and he is your biological father..."

Li Hui sighed heavily: "If I want a divorce, what will you do in the future? So..."

"Mom, what you said makes it sound like I am no longer your daughter after divorce?"

Xia Chutang enlightened her mother: "The first time there is domestic violence, there will be countless times. In the next few decades, are you going to live in fear of being beaten by him?"

"Tangtang, it's not like mom can't bear to leave him."

Li Hui shook her head, looked at her daughter's big eyes, and felt distressed: "I'm worried about you!"

"I?"

Xia Chutang wished her mother would divorce that scumbag father.

"Then you don't have to. I'm not reluctant to let him go."

Li Hui still shook his head and said: "If I get divorced, what will happen if you get married in the future? Xihai is so young, and people will definitely be disgusted when they hear that your parents are divorced."

Li Hui herself is not afraid of rumors at all.

But Li Hui was very scared when this saliva got on her daughter!

She has been unhappy in her marriage in this life, and what she hopes most is that her daughter will marry well.

Aunt Zhao heard the two voices and came out.

Looking at her daughter's eyes full of guilt: "It's all my fault. If I hadn't listened to Zhao Lanying... you and Nazhuang..."

"mom!"

Li Hui interrupted her mother, glanced at the clock, and urged: "It's getting late, Tangtang, you go prepare for tomorrow's class and go to bed early."

After saying that, Li Hui got up and entered his bedroom.

Something's wrong! Something is definitely wrong.

"Grandma, what's wrong with my mother?"

Xia Chutang felt that there was something else going on here, and asked in a low voice: "What do you mean by that village?"

"Oh, your mother was in the army back then..."

"Mom! Promise never to mention this matter again!"

Li Hui suddenly came out and growled: "Stop talking!"

"Okay, okay, don't say anything!"

Aunt Zhao immediately shut up, stood up and yawned: "As I get older, I feel sleepy after eating, so I fall asleep."

Xia Chutang: "..."

"Xia Chutang, focus on studying! Stop asking about other things!"

Li Hui was furious: "You don't have to worry about your father and me! Do you understand?"

"I know, I know." Xia Chutang nodded repeatedly.

In two lifetimes, this was the first time Xia Chutang saw her mother so angry.

There must be a story in this!

At night, Xia Chutang heard the sound of things being moved in her mother's room, and she was tossing around until the latter part of the night.

When she woke up the next morning, Li Hui's eyes were as swollen as walnuts. She had obviously cried for a long time last night.

Xia Chutang and Aunt Zhao had a tacit understanding, and no one asked any more questions.

But when making coffee in the morning, Xia Chutang also poured a cup for her mother.

"I can't get used to drinking this stuff."

Li Hui took a sip of the coffee brought by her daughter and smacked her tongue: "It tastes worse than Chinese medicine."

Xia Chutang applied makeup to her mother and said, "This will reduce the swelling."

Hearing this, Li Hui gritted his teeth and drank all the coffee.

Fortunately, he listened to his daughter and was sent to the TV station to interview and record Li Hui when he arrived at the unit.

If you had those walnut eyes, you would definitely miss such an exercise opportunity.

"Today is the province's hero model commendation meeting."

Fang Xiao, a colleague sent by the newspaper office, explained today's theme and division of labor to Li Hui: "Wait a minute, you can focus on recording the speeches of several leaders, and we will summarize them when we go back."

"This is the list of leaders present at today's meeting."

Chen Chen, who was in charge of recording and taking photos, handed the list to the two of them: "I have circled the key objects to record. You guys can get familiar with it."

Fang Xiao looked at the list in his hand and smiled meaningfully: "Brother Chen, we have been out for interviews together seven or eight times, right? I haven't seen you so meticulous before? Why are you so concerned about Sister Li when she comes?"

"Stop talking nonsense!"

Chen Chen scolded, "Comrade Li Hui has just arrived and is not familiar with the work process, so I should help him."

Li Hui quickly thanked her. She was very nervous when she came out for an interview for the first time and didn't pay attention to the meaning of her colleague's words.

She focused on the list, but as she looked at it, Li Hui's face became ugly...
