This parent is a bit cold

The word "divorce" rekindled the dawn of Ling Mo's hope. Why didn't she think of looking through the household registration book before.She was so nervous that she was at a loss, as if she had discovered a great secret, which made her ecstatic, and her mood switched between sadness and joy, making her feel as if she was in a dream.

She needs to calm down and review what happened today.

Ji Ming is married and has a child. Her daughter is Ling Siji, who is four years old and is studying in kindergarten at her own school.Ji Ming is very indifferent to herself. The moment they met, she was calm, as if everything was expected...

Ling Mo picked up the box of lozenges and remembered the circle of friends she had just added as friends. She couldn't believe that these were all accidental.

No, she must seek proof of the "divorce", otherwise she will have trouble sleeping and eating.

Ji Ming will not tell the truth to himself, this doubt can only be solved by Ling Jie, the person involved.

Thinking of this, Ling Mo decided to make a phone call.

It has to be said that Ling Jie, a man, from applying for admission to knowing about his child's school situation, is more active and responsible than Jimin, which can be regarded as fulfilling the responsibility of a father.

Thinking of Ling Jie, Ling Mo felt a little disheartened.Ling Jie's temperament was like that of a high-ranking white-collar worker, his facial features were very delicate, he was obviously almost 30 years old, and he was as handsome as those boy band boys.

Ling Siji perfectly inherited her father's genes, so she couldn't see any similarities with Ji Ming on her face, but her charm and personality traits were too similar to Ji Ming's.

Ling Mo was still fantasizing that this child might belong to Ling Jie, and Ji Ming was just playing the role of mother.Or, are there other possibilities...

She's a teacher who wants her students' families to be incomplete, and she's ashamed of herself for such a despicable idea.

But she is also a woman who has been looking for her first love for eight years.

She wants to redeem, save the lost love.

The call was connected, and Ling Jie always answered the call in a timely manner, no matter how busy he was.

"Hello, Teacher Momo, isn't today the mother-parent meeting? What happened?" Compared to Ji Ming's sarcasm, Ling Jie spoke more politely, always speaking in a soft voice, as gentle as a woman.

But every time he receives a call from himself, he feels a little nervous. He is a typical parent who is afraid that his child will have an accident at school.

"The parent-teacher meeting is over. I'm reviewing each child's profile, and I want to ask you something." Ling Mo said this calmly, his heart was already turbulent.

She did not directly ask about the divorce abruptly, but said in a roundabout way: "Because understanding the family situation of the students will help us guide each child, but today I found that your household registration book says that you are...divorced." state?"

A real divorced family would keep this matter secret, but Ling Mo must get the answer.

She said these two words very carefully, she was also afraid of touching the cracks in other people's hearts.

This question caught Ling Jie unexpectedly, he hesitated a few times before reacting quickly.

"Oh, this, I'm ashamed to say, because my parents don't live with us, so I bought two sets when we changed houses. Isn't Tianhai City restricted purchases and loans, the down payment ratio of the second set is too high, we can only Choose a fake divorce, so that my wife will have a first house in my name and I will have a house in my own name, which just relieves our pressure on buying a house. We may still have plans to buy a house later, so we have no plans to remarry for the time being."

A set of smooth rhetoric, almost no loopholes to be found, is also the current status of the property market.Although Tianhai belongs to a second-tier city, the house prices are astonishing, and the tightened house purchase policy makes house buyers do everything they can. There are many examples of this kind of fake divorce to buy a house.

But this answer made Ling Mo, who was overjoyed, fall into depression again, especially the word "wife" that Ling Jie said just now, pierced his heart like a needle.

It's really Feng Shui's turn, and finally it's my turn to have my heart cut into pieces.

How sad should Ji Ming be when he accidentally turned to his mobile phone information and saw someone calling him his wife?

Ling Mo's vision was blurred, but she still had to work hard to maintain the teacher's proper posture.

"So that's the case, then you usually accompany the four seasons together." She took out the tissue and pressed the corners of her eyes, the thin tissue was soaked by the tears quietly flowing from the corners of her eyes.

Her tone was as calm as water, and Ling Jie didn't hear anything unusual, but replied fluently: "We are indeed very busy at work, and we often work overtime, but we basically stagger our time to spend time with the child, and when we have time, we spend time with her together, don't worry, teacher. alright."

Every word is late.

"Then..." Ling Mo originally wanted to ask more deeply, but reason told her that she couldn't continue, so she had to change the subject: "Then I can rest assured, after all, the original family has an important influence on the child's character. "

"Our family is fine, don't worry, that...Ah Ming is gone?"

Ling Jie called her Ah Ming, Ling Mo was submerged in a sea of ​​jealousy, no matter what Ling Jie said, it could corrupt her heart.

"Well, the parent-teacher meeting is over. She said she would go back to the company for a meeting, and she has already left."

"Oh, that's all right, is there anything else to do, teacher?"

"No more, excuse me."

Ling Mo hung up the phone and collapsed on the chair in a daze.

She picked up the photo frame on the table, and seeing Ji Ming's smile facing the camera, the tears she held back finally burst.Holding the photo, she wept silently.

When Zhang Wen opened the door and came in, she found that Ling Mo was having an emotional breakdown.

"Momo, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?" She was shocked, thinking that Ling Mo had a sudden fever or convulsions like before.

Ling Mo just shook his head, Zhang Wen found that she was holding the photo frame tightly, and then looked at the person in the photo, isn't it Ling Siji's mother?No wonder she looked familiar just now, but now Ji Ming is much more stunning than in the photo.

"My God..." Zhang Wen couldn't believe it. She and Ling Mo were colleagues at work and friends in life, so they talked about everything.

Ling Mo came out to her when they talked about why she didn't have a boyfriend many times.

She is a bit rotten, likes to play various CPs, and is very accepting of homosexuality. After listening to Ling Mo's story, she supports her to keep her original intention.

But today, the first love Ling Mo had been waiting for for so many years became the mother of his student.

It's like being drenched in a pot of dog blood with sulfuric acid.

"Momo, maybe..." Zhang Wen had no way to comfort her, so she simply shut up.

Ling Mo's eyes were a little dull, she just stroked Ji Ming's face, and was speechless for a while.

It was getting late, the road outside the school gate was paved with golden yellow, the breeze blew, the leaves rustled, and a ginkgo leaf was exposed on Ji Ming's shoulder.

She reached out to take it down, staring at the leaves in a daze.

"Ming Ming, is the ginkgo I drew pretty?"

"Lifelike."

"Hmph, why don't you coax me, after all, I'm a layman, and I rely on fooling around."

"It proves that you are very talented. You see, I draw like morning glory, but I am still not suitable for holding a pen. Why don't I take a picture of you."

"Then you have to take a snapshot. It is only at this time of the year that the school is as beautiful as a picture. It is a pity that the beauty of ginkgo is like a flash in the pan, which is too short-lived."

"So we can use photos and brushes to keep the beauty."

Memories are like dreams and tides, Ji Ming lowered his eyes and put the leaves in his bag.I don't know when she developed the habit. Every year, she randomly collects some ginkgo leaves.

The city is developing, the school is being renovated, life is changing, and her life trajectory is also changing. The only thing that remains unchanged is the ginkgo in late autumn.

There is no texture of time, no man-made carvings, and no regrets of passing away. It keeps its original appearance year after year, making people unable to tell what year it is.

The vibration of the mobile phone, like a stone hitting the glass, shattered her beautiful memories with a bang.

Ji Ming glanced at the incoming call and picked it up.

"Sister Ming, are you still coming back for the meeting?" It was the company phone number.

Ji Ming was silent for a moment, and replied: "No, let everyone go back."

"Ok."

She was in no mood, and didn't even have the strength to speak.

Ji Ming's heart is already riddled with holes. She habitually hides her true emotions, but she clearly knows how bad she is.

Just after hanging up the phone, Ling Jie called.

"what happened?"

"Ms. Ling called me to ask about our divorce."

Ji Ming frowned, and she went to look through the account book.

"What did you say?"

"What else can I say, just to buy a house, and what I said is true, isn't it?"

"Well, what else did she say?"

"I asked if we usually accompany the four seasons together, and I answered truthfully, but I don't think she will give up. Do you want to tell her the truth?"

"No, don't say too much."

"Okay, but you have to be mentally prepared, this is the beginning, no matter what, don't affect the child."

"I know."

Ji Ming pressed her heart, and waited for the rushing heartbeat to pass before walking towards the parking lot.

In the days that followed, Ling Mo posted various news in the group every day, sometimes telling parents what English words were taught today, sometimes showing pictures of children, in short, she would find various reasons for all members of Aite.

But Ji Ming didn't reply as usual, and didn't even receive a sentence.

Ling Mo will take more personal photos of Ling Siji and send them privately to Ji Ming. She is silent most of the time and rarely replies: "It's good."

Their reunion and parents' meeting did not change Ji Ming's state, and Ling Mo's expectations fell through again and again.

Even if Ji Ming is married, even if they can't get back together, they can still be friends, right?Once so close, must I become a passerby now?

Whether it's as compensation or to reduce guilt, Ling Mo also wants to take care of Ling Siji and Ji Ming more.

So, she decided to make a home visit.

This is also her last chance for herself.

She wants to see Ji Ming's current life with her own eyes. If Ji Ming's family is really harmonious and happy, maybe her obsession should dissipate, and she may even consider leaving Tianhai.

Thinking of this, she dug out Ling Siji's enrollment information again, and her home address was near the school, within a 10-minute walk.

It turns out that Ji Ming has always been so close to her, so in these years, have they passed each other, or almost met each other?Or, Ji Ming knew that he was in Tianming Kindergarten, so he chose to buy a house here?

Ling Mo thought fearfully, maybe it was all his own wishful thinking.

There are so many questions in her mind that she can make up a hundred thousand reasons.

Today, she stayed at school for overtime classes, avoiding the dinner time, and went to Ling Siji's house at 07:30.

The afterglow of the street lamp shines on the leaves, making the ginkgo glow.Ling Mo had no intention of admiring the scenery, and was hesitant all the way. What would he face with this kind of uninvited home visit?

Fortunately, the property management of the community is not very strict, so she slipped in with other residents and went straight to the ninth floor.

909, what a good number.But Ling Mo stood at the door, but he didn't dare to ring the doorbell.

She was too scared, afraid to see Ji Ming and his wife singing in harmony, she was the only one more outsider in the family of three.She was also afraid of Ji Ming's cold and alienated eyes, and even more afraid that she would not even be able to enter the door.

What's the use of thinking so much?

It was Ji Ming who she let down first, and now she deserves everything she has endured.

Ling Mo took a deep breath and pressed the doorbell.
