Over indulge

"Mom." Lin Jiayue quickly grabbed her mother's hand, and explained to her sincerely: "Actually, this injury was caused outside of school a few days ago. At that time, I had a dispute with Su Mian, and I fell... the reason I don't want you to know, but I'm also afraid that you will worry."

"Su Mian?" Zhou Hong showed doubts on his face, and began to search for information about this girl in his memory, "You mean Su Mian, the daughter of the real estate company opposite your father?"

Lin Jiayue nodded: "She used to come to play at home when she was in elementary school, you've seen her before."

"How could she..." Zhou Hong suddenly came over, "It's because of that kid Fu Zian."

Lin Jiayue asked in surprise, "Mom, do you know this too?"

Zhou Hong smiled, "Don't look at me, although I usually don't ask these questions, but I know more or less, that girl likes Fu Zian, but Fu Zian likes you, because the same person who likes two people who have a good relationship broke up , this kind of thing is too common.”

After hearing this, Lin Jiayue suddenly made a joke, covered her face with a smile and said, "Mom, you say that as if you have experienced it before."

A moment of astonishment flashed in Zhou Hong's eyes, and she hurriedly explained: "No, no, mom has never experienced it."

"Okay, let me help you put on makeup." Zhou Hong picked up the foundation again and changed the subject.

While smearing Lin Jiayue's face with gentle hands, her mother said, "Let's go downstairs after finishing the makeup. Your father should already know that you are back."

"Is Dad at home now?" Lin Jiayue asked curiously while sitting still.

"I came back early today, isn't it that you are going home today?" Zhou Hong smiled.

Lin Jiayue also grinned, she was the best at showing her childish side in front of her mother.

After reapplying her makeup, Lin Jiayue looked at herself in the mirror, and her whole body became much brighter. Her mother's craftsmanship is really much better than hers, and now there are no traces of bruises at all.

"Let's go downstairs." Zhou Hong got up and said.

When I came downstairs, I happened to meet Lin Baiyi. Lin Jiayue hurried downstairs and called out affectionately, "Dad!"

Lin Baiyi looked at her daughter with a loving face, "Let me take a good look, have you lost weight?"

Lin Jiayue turned around, "No."

"It's still a little thinner." Lin Baiyi muttered while holding his chin.

Seeing Zhou Hong coming down the stairs slowly, Lin Baiyi asked curiously: "The mother and daughter are both upstairs, so I can find them easily."

Zhou Hong smiled slightly and said, "Talk about boudoir talk, it's nothing."

"By the way, did you tell Jiayue about Zhou Heng's family coming over for dinner tonight?" Lin Baiyi asked Zhou Hong.

"I haven't had time to say it yet," Zhou Hong said.

After hearing this, Lin Jiayue asked, "Uncle and the others want to come over for dinner?"

"It's not that you came home today, they asked to come and see you." Lin Baiyi explained.

Lin Jiayue fell into deep thought. If it was the past, she would never have any complaints or opinions when her uncle's family came over, but now at this time, the once-a-month chance she got from Xu Ruining to go home always feels not so glorious.

"Okay, I have to go to the office to make a phone call. Jiayue, you also go to see my sister, she is very cute now." Lin Baiyi said with a smile, patted Lin Jiayue on the shoulder, and strode away.

Seeing this, Zhou Hong came to Lin Jiayue, "Let's go and have a look."

Lin Jiayue swept away the haze, smiled and nodded.

Although Lin Jiayue has always been able to see her sister through the photos in the group during this period of time, but she has not seen her for more than 20 days. When she sees her again, she can still feel some changes. Life is really amazing. The wrinkled red child who was just born has turned into a white, tender and cute baby.

Lin Jiayue squatted beside the crib, gently holding the baby's hand, not daring to use force, and said, "Little Jiaxue, grow up quickly, my sister will take you to play."

Zhou Hong smiled and said, "Wait? After a year or two, I can run after you."

Lin Jiayue rested her chin and said, "At that time, I should have graduated from university."

Hearing this, Zhou Hong's eyes showed sadness, as if she remembered the bad facts again, Lin Jiayue noticed that her mother didn't speak, and looked back.

"mom……"

"Mom is fine, it's fine."

"If you have anything to say, you can say it."

"It's nothing. How has Xu Ruining treated you during this time?"

Lin Jiayue thought about it carefully, and gave an objective evaluation: "Sometimes this person is quite domineering, but overall he is not bad. He even sent someone to deliver me medicinal oil yesterday, and Su Mian was also given by her subordinates. Beaten."

"You mean, Su Mian was taken care of by Xu Ruining?" Zhou Hong asked in surprise.

Lin Jiayue nodded, "Today He Bao and I came out of the school cafeteria after eating, and we met her, and my face was beaten like a pig's head."

"A violent person like Xu Ruining, you'd better be careful in the future, huh?" Zhou Hong warned.

On the surface, Lin Jiayue nodded and promised that she would be careful, but in her heart she felt that Xu Ruining would not be violent to her. She didn't know why, but she was very determined.

It was getting late, and the chefs in the kitchen at home were in full swing preparing for today's family dinner.

Lin Jiayue's uncle's family, that is, her mother Zhou Hong's natal family, has always been in a decent family. Although it is not as big as Lin Baiyi's big business, the family has several shops in the bustling commercial street and also runs a restaurant. At a high level, the monthly income can also be in the millions.

Originally, when Zhou Hong married into the Lin family, her grandmother prepared a few shops as a dowry, but Lin Baiyi didn't want them at that time. After all, he had already turned his career and didn't want to get any favor from the woman's family to prove his ability.

A white BMW [-] Series drove into the yard, and Zhou Hong led Lin Jiayue out to greet her.

After the car came to a complete stop, three people got off at about the same time. The one who came out of the driver's seat was Zhou Heng, Lin Jiayue's uncle, the woman in the co-pilot was Hu Jing, Lin Jiayue's aunt, and the other one was about the same age as Lin Jiayue and only younger than her. A one-year-old girl, Zhou Yuyao, is her cousin.

"Uncle, aunt, Yuyao." Lin Jiayue greeted politely.

Because they have the same blood, Zhou Yuyao's appearance is also five or six points similar to Lin Jiayue. This cousin likes to learn how to dress herself. Sometimes the two sisters stand together, and it is difficult to distinguish them from the back.

"Aunt~" Zhou Yuyao rushed forward and hugged Zhou Hong fiercely, and then took the opportunity to greet Lin Jiayue with a lukewarm "cousin."

"Sister, I brought some supplements for you, and some new clothes and toys for my little nephew." Zhou Heng walked up the steps.

"Just come here, bring something." Zhou Hong smiled.

"Sister, look at what you said, you can't come here empty-handed, right? When the time comes, it will be spread, and it will be said that our Zhou family is not good at life." Hu Jing said.

Lin Jiayue was already used to it, and this aunt had always spoken harshly.

A group of people entered the room, and Lin Baiyi also came out to greet them after finishing their work. The layout of the restaurant was in full swing.

"Brother, stay safe." Zhou Heng stepped forward and shook hands with Lin Baiyi.

"Uncle, how is the company going?" Zhou Yuyao suddenly approached and asked.

Lin Baiyi was stunned for a moment, and then said: "It's good, everything is good, it's on the right track, and it started to make a profit last week."

Hearing this, Hu Jing couldn't help saying: "That was pretty fast. Thinking about the situation a month ago, tsk tsk, Jiayue has contributed a lot."

As soon as these words came out, the scene instantly became a little awkward, especially the expressions of Zhou Hong and Lin Baiyi. Although Lin Jiayue didn't say anything, she still felt strangely uncomfortable in her heart.

"Yuyao, do you want to go and see my little sister with your mother?" Zhou Hong asked with a smile and changed the subject.

"Okay, okay." Zhou Yuyao readily agreed.

Seeing that the three of them were about to go to the master bedroom on the first floor, Lin Jiayue forced a smile and waved her hands and said, "You guys go, I won't go there."

In the living room, Zhou Heng and Lin Baiyi sat drinking tea and chatting, while Lin Jiayue made and poured tea for the two elders silently.

Compared with her aunt, Lin Jiayue is still more willing to stay with her uncle, at least he will not say some hurtful words, even if it is not intentional.

"How is Jiayue doing at school?" Zhou Heng asked.

"It's all good." Lin Jiayue smiled.

Zhou Heng sighed helplessly, and said to Lin Baiyi: "Our Yuyao can't do it without her sister. She didn't like reading when she was young, and she only knew how to play when she was sent to learn art. This year, she barely got into the college entrance examination. One book, worrying people."

Lin Baiyi said: "What does that matter? It's natural to love to play. In the future, you will be more calm when you get married."

Finally it was dinner time, six people were sitting at the dinner table, and there were exquisite dishes on the table.

Lin Jiayue seldom talked, and ate in silence. Most of the time, it was her aunt who chatted endlessly, and then her mother echoed her a few words.

In the end, the topic turned back to Lin Jiayue for some reason, and it was impossible to guard against.

"I've heard that Xu... Ning is a devil who eats people without blinking an eye, and our Jiayue is really pitiful." Hu Jing pretended to be sorry with a pretentious look.

Lin Jiayue looked up, and for the first time replied to the elder: "I'm not pitiful."

Hu Jing's face suddenly became a little embarrassed, Zhou Hong had no choice but to help explain: "Auntie is also kind, Jiayue."

Lin Jiayue lowered her head and ate silently, a little angry.

Maybe it was because she felt uncomfortable seeing her mother being bullied, so Zhou Yuyao also came out to speak, her tone was a little cynical: "Then cousin is selling herself, so you can't fall in love freely in the future, and being with an old woman, I don't think there will be a good life Pass."

"Who told you to say this?" Zhou Heng said angrily.

Zhou Yuyao looked indifferent, not afraid of her father at all.

Lin Jiayue tightly clenched the chopsticks in her hands, then let them go on the table silently, and said in a dull tone, "I've finished eating, and I want to go upstairs to rest, you take it easy."

After finishing speaking, she pushed away the chair and stood up. Lin Baiyi hurriedly called her back, and was even a little angry at her waywardness. Lin Jiayue left regardless, she just wanted to leave the dining table as soon as possible.

"This child is really getting more and more willful." Lin Baiyi said.

"It's okay, it's okay, girls, you have to have self-esteem, is it that we Yuyao are talking too much?" Zhou Heng said.

"Why did I speak too much? Lah, what I said is the truth." Zhou Yuyao quibbled.

"It's Jiayue's child who has too much self-esteem, and others can't even say a few words." Hu Jing also helped her daughter speak.

For a moment, Zhou Hong's expression on the table was not very good, and she couldn't help but speak for her daughter: "Jiayue made this decision without telling us. She did it for the good of the Lin family, and to save the Lin family. Carrying it alone, I don't want you to talk about her like that, I am also a mother, and I can most understand the child's pain."

"No one talks about her, no one talks about her." Realizing the embarrassment, Hu Jing hurriedly smiled to smooth things over.

Lin Jiayue, who returned upstairs, closed the door, went to the balcony outside the room alone, and sat on the rattan chair in a daze.

Although what they said was the truth, they still couldn't help feeling uncomfortable, as if they had become a commodity or a tool in their mouths, and no one considered her feelings?

Sighing silently, Lin Jiayue looked up at the moonlight tonight, the crescent crescent hung in the sky, and there were many stars.

I don't know how long I sat alone like this. My uncle and the others seemed to have finished eating and were about to go back. Lin Jiayue subconsciously wanted to get up and go back to the room, fearing that she would be discovered by them, but maybe she was thinking too much. He said goodbye in a hurry and got into the car. No one noticed himself nestled in the wicker chair on the small balcony upstairs.

Lin Jiayue secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

The night wind in November was very cool. It brushed gently on the face, and after a while, the face also became icy cold.

Not long ago, I was still a little angry, but I gradually suppressed it and turned into sadness.

At this moment, the cell phone in Lin Jiayue's pocket rang, and the caller showed Xu Ruining's name.

After hesitating for a few seconds, Lin Jiayue still answered the phone and put it to her ear.

"Hi." There was a listless reply.

"Did you eat?" the person on the other end of the phone asked.

"I've eaten." Lin Jiayue replied.

Ten seconds of silence followed.

Lin Jiayue couldn't help asking, "Call? What am I doing?"

"Can't I call you if I have nothing to do?" Xu Ruining asked back.

Lin Jiayue was not in a good mood at first, so she said: "If there is nothing wrong, I will die."

"Wait a minute." Xu Ruining hurriedly called out.

Lin Jiayue held the phone and listened to her ear again.

After several seconds of silence, Lin Jiayue became a little impatient, "Xu Ruining, you are kidding me."

"I miss you." The woman on the other end of the phone tried her best to suppress her emotions, and with difficulty, these four words came out of her throat.
