Pretending to be cute

In the morning, Xiao Ling woke up.The familiar room, the warm quilt, the changed pajamas, and the pleasant smell of lemon all silently prove who is taking care of you.

Her eyes softened, she got out of bed and walked out of the room with her slippers on. Following the scent, she walked to the kitchen, and found porridge still cooking on the pot, and there was a thousand paper cranes beside her.

[Eat breakfast well, dress warmly, and take medicine again. 】

"Sister Li?"

As soon as the words came out, it was hoarse and outrageous.It rained for too long last night, and I still had a fever, no wonder my throat hurts and my body is weak.As for what happened, Xiao Ling didn't have much impression.

I just remember having a very sweet dream, in the dream Li Mi was taking off her clothes, she couldn't help kissing Li Mi, but Li Mi was not angry, and shyly pushed her away...

It really was a beautiful dream. After all, if she kissed Li Mi rashly in reality, what she got back would definitely not be shyness, maybe it was...

a slap?

Xiao Ling licked his lips, reminiscing about the taste of the dream, a little funny.I went to Li Mi's room and wandered around, Li Mi had already left, and the time was half an hour earlier than usual, so I guess I must be busy with important things.

Thinking of yesterday's disappearance and rain again, Li Mi must be angry.Under such circumstances, Xiao Ling did not forget the trivial matter of cooking porridge. Xiao Ling felt warm in his heart, and while drinking the well-boiled millet porridge, he sent a message to Li Mi.

[Children from the Li family: Sister Li, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have refused to answer your call yesterday.I'm... going to take care of something, I'm in a bad mood, sorry. 】

[Children from the Li family: Also, I shouldn't let you take care of me for so long in the rain.You can be mad at me, but, can you give me a chance to explain? 】

According to past experience, no matter how big a mistake she made, as long as she obediently admits it, Li Mi will not care too much.

Sure enough, when she finished packing and was about to go out, the reply came.

[Li Mi: Well, go home on time for dinner at night, and I'll make you your favorite coke chicken wings.When the time comes, I have one more thing to tell you. 】

Xiao Ling was a little curious about what it was, but he didn't rush to ask, but sent a voice in a happy mood: "Okay, I love Sister Li the most."

She didn't know that the woman who received the voice sat in the office for a long time, and after playing the love word again, she finally made up her mind and made an internal call.

"Ling Sheng, you can ask that person if he is free at noon, let's have lunch together, and see if it suits him by the way."

……

In the morning, the LD task force sent out an engineering project, and Xiao Ling took over the part he was best at. By the time of lunch break, he had already figured out the general idea.Just about to go out to eat something casually, someone contacted her.

Seeing the phone number, Xiao Ling's expression changed slightly. This is the private detective she was looking for.

In the list provided to Gu Lingyu, only one person's whereabouts could not be found, and the last information did not include this person's information.So Xiao Ling hired the private detective with the best performance to find out the whereabouts of that person.

This person is very important.His name is Lin Yan, and he was Xiao Fengkai's best brother during his lifetime.Lin Yan himself was in a bad situation, and he didn't have the luck and strength of Xiao Fengkai. He would pay for every business. If it wasn't for Xiao Fengkai's many donations, he would have been unable to survive.

Later, the business finally got some improvement. Lin Yan was very grateful to Xiao Fengkai, and had a certain business relationship with Ming Xiao.He is a bachelor, but he also likes children very much, so every time Xiao Fengkai takes Xiao Ling to play with Lin Yan, he loves Xiao Ling like his own daughter.

She always sweetly calls him Uncle Lin.

For Lin Yan, Xiao Ling has complicated feelings.Compared to Wan Hong and Du Qingnan who took advantage of the situation, this Uncle Lin wasn't that bad, but he wasn't too good either.Once Xiao Fengkai's accident happened, Lin Yan disappeared.

Safeguarding one's life wisely is a truth that all adults understand.Xiao Ling understood, but still brooding.

The private detective provided a lot of information. The first few pages were all about Lin Yan's early experience. Xiao Ling skimmed through it briefly, and there was not much difference with what she knew, and there was no important news.

On the middle pages, Xiao Ling's eyes froze.Lin Yan's company, in addition to the cooperation with Ming Xiao at the beginning, also dealt with Hongjiang later, and the two companies even held cooperation activities, and invited many media at that time.

According to the time, it was nine years ago, that is, it was almost a year since Li Mi adopted Xiao Ling.

Lin Yan is in business, and Li Mi is in construction. Whether it is the relationship between the two, or the work and business of the two, they can't get along with each other. How can there be cooperation?

Xiao Ling didn't believe Wan Hong's words. Instead, she used this to confirm that Li Mi must have paid a considerable price to snatch her custody from Wan Hong and Du Qingnan.What happened yesterday made her feel completely chilled by Wan Hong and the others, and she was even more eager to find out the truth.

Turning to the last page, there is a picture, and the hospital in the picture is the place where Xiao Ling will go later - the largest hospital in City C, South China Hospital.

South China Hospital is very close to LD.

After more than ten minutes, Xiao Ling collected the materials, got out of the car, walked up the steps, and stepped into the main entrance of the hospital.There were patients and family members at the entrance on the first floor. The youngest child seemed to be in his teens, and the nurse couldn't persuade him when he started making a fuss.

After entering the elevator, it suddenly became quiet.Xiao Ling noticed that most of the people in the elevator were family members of patients, and coincidentally, they basically went to the same floor as her.It's just that each of them is silent.

Xiao Ling suddenly had a bad feeling.

After opening the elevator, the three black letters reflected her thoughts. The ICU, also known as the ICU, admits and treats critically ill patients. It can be said that the patients here have already stepped into the gate of hell.

Although she cared about Lin Yan's actions, this Uncle Lin did not harm her at all. The oppressive atmosphere on this floor affected Xiao Ling's mood invisibly, and her steps became heavy.

The patients in the intensive care unit are all in the special intensive care unit, and the visiting time is very fixed every day, and it is only half an hour. Except for relatives, they are not allowed to visit.Xiao Ling thought for a while, and asked the nurse to ask for a visit.

The nurse has been working for a long time, and she has some impressions of the relatives of the patients who came to visit on this floor. When she met the eyes of several colleagues, she felt that Xiao Ling was very strange, so she cautiously said: "Excuse me, who are you from Lin Yan's patient?" ?”

According to the information, Lin Yan has always been single, never married and had no children, and has no relatives or friends.

who?Hearing this question, Xiao Ling was a little dazed.

She remembered that in the amusement park in the past, Lin Yan always let her ride on his shoulders, Xiao Fengkai scolded him for spoiling the children, Lin Yan also said with a smile, girls want to be rich, what's wrong with him pampering the girl, this is his only precious girl , spoiled to have him around.

Xiao Fengkai's kindness to Xiao Ling has principles and a bottom line, but Lin Yan is different. He has almost no bottom line in his kindness to Xiao Ling.

The word "uncle" was swallowed back, Xiao Ling cleared his throat, restrained his emotions and said, "I am his daughter, please apply, thank you."

"Daughter? According to the records, he has no children. You..." Before the nurse finished speaking, she glanced at the person walking by, "Hey, Xiao Lin, you came just in time. Someone wanted to visit your uncle, and they said it was you Uncle's daughter."

Following the nurse's gaze, Xiao Ling turned around, and the people over there also looked over.The person who came was a young boy with a handsome appearance, but it was a pity that there was a hideous scar next to the right eyebrow, which ruined the beauty.

"Daughter...is that Miss Xiao?" The boy called Xiao Lin spoke softly like a spring breeze.

Xiao?

This scar is hard to forget just by looking at it. If Xiao Ling had seen Xiao Lin, he would not have no impression of this person.And the fact that the other party can quickly call out this surname can only show that he is not surprised by her existence. In other words, Lin Yan should have confessed.

why?

"Miss Xiao, I don't mean anything malicious, I'm just... glad you came." Seeing Xiao Ling's vigilance, Xiao Lin smiled shyly, twisting his fingers together, "I know the reason why you came here, it's time to visit There is still a while, if you are free, do you want to wait with me? I know what you want to ask, and I will tell you. "

The young man is like a little deer, sincerely letting people down their guard. It’s okay to wait, and it can also solve doubts. Xiao Ling nodded: "Yes. Also, you don’t need yours. The age gap between you and me is not that big. You can do it."

Xiao Lin nodded, looking happier, explained the situation to the nurse, submitted a visit application, and led Xiao Ling to the end of the corridor on the left.

There is an open-air corridor in the middle, with several benches, which are specially provided for the patients' family members to rest.

There is sunlight on the bench and it is warm to sit on.

Before Xiao Ling could ask a question, Xiao Lin took the initiative to introduce himself: "Miss Xiao, my name is Lin Ziyan, and I am Uncle Lin...that is, Lin Yan's adopted son."

Xiao Ling didn't have much politeness with him: "You know me?"

Lin Ziyan's eyes were clear: "Yes. Uncle Lin showed me your photos, when you were a child, when you were in school, and now. He has no biological children under his knees. Apart from me, only you may come to him. So he told me about you a long time ago. I have been waiting for you for a long time, if you don't come, I will find you sooner or later. "

When I was young, when I was in school, now... photos from different time periods.In other words, Lin Yan has been investigating her?

Xiao Ling sneered: "Speaking so tenderly, isn't it surveillance?"

Lin Ziyan became anxious, and jumped up from the stool: "No, no, no, it's not surveillance, I'm just worried that you're not doing well, so..."

Xiao Ling said indifferently: "Worried? Why did he go so long ago? Where was he when my parents passed away? Where was he when I was looking for his whereabouts? But think about it, it's just a brother who talks about it. My dad's mess, what's the matter with Guan Linyan?"

"No, you really misunderstood. Uncle Lin has never forgotten you and Uncle Xiao. He wanted to find you at that time..."

"Think?" Xiao Ling grasped the keyword with a mocking expression on his face.

Lin Ziyan looked at her determinedly: "Uncle Lin really wanted to find you, but he couldn't go... because that day, he was involved in a car accident, with multiple fractures in his body and a head injury, and he lost consciousness on the spot , almost became a vegetable."

Xiao Ling was taken aback.

Lin Ziyan stroked the scar next to his eyebrows, and said dejectedly: "That day, I was pushed into the middle of the road. A car was driving very fast and was about to run over me. It was Uncle Lin who took the risk to save me. I am An orphan, an orphan that no one wants, he sacrificed so much for such a stranger, and I only left such a small trace."

He glanced at Xiao Ling, with deep pain in his eyes: "Uncle Lin was bleeding a lot at that time, but he was still chanting your and Uncle Xiao's names, saying that he was sorry for you. A few months later, he woke up Come here, the first thing is to find you."

Wordless silence.

Reason told Xiao Ling not to believe Lin Ziyan's one-sided words, but emotion told her that the scar could not be faked, which might be true.

After a while, Xiao Ling turned his head away, and his tone was no longer so cold: "He's lying, he didn't come to look for me, and I haven't seen him either."

"He came. I accompanied him the whole time. No one knows better than me. As for why you didn't see him, because he was in the hospital again..."

Speaking of this, Lin Ziyan was a little dumbfounded: "Uncle Lin went to Wan Hong and Du Qingnan first, you should know them. Knowing that your custody is in Li Mi's hands, and with Wan Hong's embellished description, Lin Uncle thought it was Li Mi who threatened them, stole everything from the Xiao family, and abused you, so he approached Li Mi angrily, and wanted to beat her without saying a word, but neither I nor anyone else could stop her, including Li Mi himself. "

abuse?

Xiao Ling was both angry and funny: "Lin Yan hit Sister Li? Why, why...does it when there is a disagreement?"

Lin Ziyan's expression became subtle.

"No, Uncle Lin really wanted to hit someone, but he didn't. He just woke up, his body was weak, his fists hadn't been stretched out, and he passed out directly in front of Li Mi, scaring the rest of us, including Li Mi. myself."

These two include too much essence, Xiao Ling seems to be able to imagine Li Mi's stupid appearance like a goose, and he doesn't know what to say for a while.

Lin Ziyan suddenly remembered something, and couldn't help laughing and said: "By the way, Li Mi said three words at that time, which was very interesting."

"what?"

"She looked at Uncle Lin who was lying in front of her and said, huh? Pengci."

"..."
