When my mother was newly married, did my grandfather think of his predecessors once? "

"My grandmother married my grandfather when she was young, and she thought that she would be very happy if she found a promising husband, but for some reason, she gradually became depressed and had mental problems. Mom Ever since I can remember, I have to face a mother who always screams, smashes things, hurts herself or hurts others, and looks like a crazy mother, I am afraid that she is about to collapse." Li Xiao pulled the corners of his mouth, obviously laughing "What a coincidence, at this time, my mother met a gentle and tolerant man who seemed to really understand her and love her. Grandpa, tell me, mother How could she not be tempted by such a man and not regard him as her life force? And the moment she fell into it, she could never pull herself out again. "

Guan Yunshan's face was livid: "What are you talking about?"

"Grandfather, you have worked hard all your life. You are afraid that everything you have worked so hard will be taken away by others. Your wife and daughter will not be trusted. You hold them in your hands and arrange their lives. Let them lack souls and wisdom, and be manipulated by you like puppets. Back then, my father cheated one after another, driving my mother to go crazy, and wanted to take me to commit suicide to avenge him. You finally found a suitable excuse that time , to ensure my safety, and drove me abroad, I think at that time you hoped that I would stay outside and never come back..." Mentioning the one covered in gloom and gloom, was deliberately blocked by Li Xiao. The high school days that are in his memory, Li Xiao can say it now without changing his face, he groaned, and then laughed again, as if he really thought it was very ridiculous, his eyes were full of mockery, "But Who would have thought that it was time that finally made grandpa bow his head. Time gradually wears away your ruthlessness, and when the time comes, you also begin to feel that the New Year's Eve dinner should be a family reunion, and the family property cannot go to the grave with you. If you want the glory to last forever, someone must inherit it."

"But grandpa," Li Xiaoshui looked at the old man who seemed to have been drained, his body and spirit exhausted, and smiled almost pityingly, "Don't you believe in this world, karma, reincarnation, and everything has retribution?"

Ruan Xingtong stood outside the study room, the door was not completely closed, she heard Li Xiao's last question mark inside, and fell silent, then suddenly felt the cold under her feet, and her arms were covered with goose bumps.

She originally wanted to go back to her own room, but she didn't want to bother the servants. As a result, in this overly large house, she completely forgot which room she lived in. She wanted to ask someone, but she overheard This family secret.

The reason why Li Xiao went abroad...was because his mother wanted to take him to commit suicide?

Ruan Xingtong's scalp felt a little numb when he thought about it, and he didn't dare to stay any longer, so he hurriedly left while no one was paying attention.

"Retribution?" The initial pain of being opened by someone's scar passed away. Guan Yunshan was Guan Yunshan after all. After a while, he calmed down and sneered. If I really believe in retribution, I have long since become a good man and a believer."

Li Xiao looked at him coldly, almost disgusted by his brazenness.

"I don't know where you heard these rumors, and I don't know how your mother taught you to be so stubborn and unfilial that you can say anything." Guan Yunshan's tone was calm, but his words were high and aggressive, "But you After all, it is my grandson, your parents don’t know how to discipline children, so I will discipline them for them.”

Li Xiao's face darkened.

"For so many years, I have never cared about you. I let you follow your parents and learn a lot of nonsense." Guan Yunshan spoke contemptuously, and said bluntly, "I know you are still entangled with a man. Together, we cannot be implicated."

Hearing that Shi Yu was mentioned, Li Xiao's face turned cold and he said, "What are you going to do?"

Guan Yunshan didn't seem to hear what he said, snorted coldly, and continued: "Your mother is deaf and blind, and she is a bastard like Li Yuan. Thanks to her being a baby for so many years, she refused to let go even if she died. Now you are too In this way, you look at him pitifully and think you are sympathizing with him, but do you still feel that you are kind and helping the poor? Have you ever thought that he is just taking advantage of your pity? Do you know that he secretly What kind of person is it?"

Li Xiao lost all patience, his voice suppressed his anger, and he said coldly: "Grandpa is worrying too much, too many things are hurting, grandpa should save some energy, so as not to go down too early, seeing grandma, there is nothing to say .”

He stood up, not wanting to waste any more time here, he turned and walked towards the door.

But the person behind him said: "Don't you want to know where that cat is now?"

Shi Yu froze the wrapped dumplings in the refrigerator, and cooked keel soup, but he only ate a few dumplings, and then retreated into the sofa to watch TV. He tuned a few channels, all of which were on the Spring Festival Gala. The eyes are all red, and everyone is beaming and saying auspicious words.

Probably friends, relatives, and several children came next door.No matter how good the sound insulation is, it can't stop the children's running and making noise. It's lively inside and out, after all, it's Chinese New Year.

Shi Yu curled up in the blanket, watching the lips constantly opening and closing on the TV, listening to the voices coming and going from inside and outside the door, he was still a little drowsy, but he refused to really fall asleep.

Li Xiao said that he would come back early, and it was already ten o'clock, Shi Yu felt that he would be back soon.

In fact, many promises that Li Xiao made to him did not count, but as long as Li Xiao said it, Shi Yu took it seriously.

But until the countdown started, Li Xiao still didn't come back.

Ten, nine, eight...

Shi Yu pricked up his ears, listening to the sound outside the door, those children were screaming, they were too noisy, he couldn't hear anything, he couldn't hear the sound of the elevator door opening, he couldn't hear the sound of leather shoes stepping on the floor, he couldn't hear When the fingerprint lock is opened, there will be a series of electronic sounds.

Four, three, two... one.

Turn over the old year, and it's a new year.

Li Xiao didn't come back.

Shi Yu curled up on the sofa and fell asleep drowsily. He didn't know what he dreamed of. He felt very sad and couldn't breathe.

He woke up suddenly, and when he opened his eyes, there was a white furry thing under his eyelids, and the other's fleshy paws were still stepping on his chest, and after looking at him, he meowed at him—— I don't know if this silly cat has a bad memory, it seems that he has forgotten the grievances with him, and is rushing to act like a baby again.

Shi Yu thought for a moment that he was dreaming, or hallucinating.

"you're awake."

At the other end of the sofa, Li Xiao sat there with his legs crossed, he didn't look at Shi Yu, his face looked calm, slightly indifferent.

Shi Yu woke up.

Li Xiao said: "Last night I drove to that family's house and brought the cat back."

Shi Yu was stiff all over.

"I came to their house in the middle of the night and asked for a cat. Fortunately, they didn't think I was a liar, saying that they didn't know that the cat was mine."

Li Xiao's voice was also very peaceful, but a little hoarse, probably because he had been driving for a long time without taking a break. At that time, just in case, Shi Yu specially found an adopter from another city.

"They also asked me, what is the relationship between me and you." Li Xiao finally turned his face to look at him, his face seemed to be covered with a layer of fine ice, and his eyes were even more indifferent. He looked at him like a stranger. Shi Yu, as if he had never known him before, "Why is it obviously my cat, but you gave it away to someone else?"

Shi Yu was speechless, this time he could no longer pretend to be wronged to defend himself, nor could he ask Li Xiao why he found out——Li Xiao's tone and eyes were too strange to him, he was overwhelmed by that look. I panicked.

Li Xiao looked at his pale face and panicked expression, and said without emotion: "I'm also curious, why do you—"

He paused for a breath, then his jaw tightened, and there were blue veins popping out of his forehead. He stared at Shi Yu, almost word by word popping out from between his teeth: "You, by, what, what."

I don't know where Li Xiao's words stabbed Shi Yu, his face was still pale, but the panic and restlessness on his face disappeared, and in his flickering eyes, a kind of stubbornness that never admitted his mistake gradually appeared.

Gritting his teeth, he said, "I hate it."

In fact, Yu didn't think about what would happen to him if Li Xiao found out, whether Li Xiao would fly into a rage, and whether he would drive him out again. Every time he thought about it, he felt very scared, but that was also Can't stop him from doing evil, his reason and fear have been swallowed by jealousy, making him desperate.

He also knew that to Li Xiao, he was just dispensable, a grain of rice that was not even enough for decorations, because of his shameless, humble and pitiful appearance, the other party gave him sympathy.And he dared to boldly include Li Xiao in his own possessions, and also intended to exclude all other things that wanted to divert Li Xiao's attention, it was simply audacious and wishful thinking.

Therefore, those shady fantasies, paranoid and distorted obsessions are carefully hidden under the weak surface by him. In front of Li Xiao, he pretended to be harmless to humans and animals, obsessively but not aggressive, He knew that only in this way could the other party soften his heart and make the other party relax his vigilance.

He put a lot of prohibitions on his heart and mind, ordering himself to release the energy that is not too stressful within the appropriate range.
