Invade the World

  Chapter 307 Scolding and ridiculing

  Xu Xiangyang and Lin Xingjie were looking at each other. When they fell into the memory, Ms. Lin seemed to see some hope of persuading their daughter. She stared at them both in silence, without blinking.

   "Ha ha ha..."

  At this moment, familiar laughter sounded from behind them.

  The three of them turned their heads one after another. The squad leader put his hands behind his back, and swayed out of the trees farther away.

"when did you come?"

  Xu Xiangyang was surprised.

   "I have been listening since the very beginning."

   "You are called'eavesdropping'..."

   "You are not the same."

  Sir, the squad leader’s smile diminished slightly and became serious.

  Her gaze crossed the two friends and looked straight at Lin Suya.

   "Aunt Lin, can I say a few words?"

   "...Well, you said."

  Perhaps affected by the girl's serious attitude, Lin Suya unconsciously raised her head and stared at her.

   "I listened to it for so long, until just now, I finally figured out one thing."

  Zhu Qingyue had a smiling expression, but the light shining in her pupils became more scorching.

"You seem to have been persuading Xingjie to accept your boyfriend’s apology just now. In fact, in my opinion, he hit Xingjie with his hands. Of course, he was the unforgivable and most direct perpetrator. But in that family, really let Xingjie feels the source of pain, the culprit of all problems... it's not someone else, it's you!"

The squad leader seemed to be very polite, but his words were not at all polite, so that Ms. Lin was caught off guard and showed an embarrassing expression of choking.

"According to your statement, the man named Sun Shengping wanted to protect Xingjie, right? But during that time, Xingjieming had been living under his threat, not to mention enjoying the feeling of being sheltered by his family. , It’s simply to treat him as the greatest enemy, try every means to avoid him, and be in panic all day long..."

   "I'm not that scared!" Lin Xingjie muttered beside him, but the monitor did not stop talking, but raised the decibel of the voice by an order of magnitude.

"At that time, where were you as a mother? If it was really a misunderstanding, why can't you tell me in advance? If you have noticed her emotions a long time ago, try your so-called'communicating between two people' method. , Press that man’s head to apologize earlier, how can the relationship between you and Xingjie fall to the present level?!"

"I--"

  Ms. Lin was at a loss, unable to say a word. She lowered her head and began to mumble.

   "No, this is of course my fault, because I always treat my daughter as a child. She likes to shut herself in the room, so she always does her own way, thinking that it will be better when she grows up..."

  The other party seemed to want to do a self-examination, but Zhu Qingyue didn't mean to let her go.

"Also, you two are obviously grown-ups, and your heads are too naive, right? Isn't it possible that the simple and crude way of'beating the bully' is protecting the child? Don't spend time caring about her. Life in school has no meaning at all, it just satisfies your hypocritical mentality of'being a good parent'!"

  The smile on the face of the squad leader disappeared completely, and replaced by a blank expression that made people look chilling in the heart. She stared at the face of the middle-aged woman, her eyes so cold that she didn't look like a high school student.

"Let me tell you what happened afterwards. The few people who were taught by that man, not only did they change without knowing their mistakes, they even developed a feeling of hatred because of this, and wanted to take revenge on Xingjie in a more vicious way! Haha, This is how you protect your children as parents? What an idiot, an idiot! Hopeless!"

  Lin Suya was said to be shaking all over, as if she might fall down at any time. She looked at the daughter and the boy who were standing not far away as if begging for mercy, but the two of them were just indifferent.

  So, her face became paler and paler, like a piece of white paper hanging on a curtain, and when the night passed, she was beaten to pieces by the storm.

"Relax, although Xingjie was born in such a family, she is not ordinary herself. She will not be harmed, at most she will become a murderer... And because of the timely appearance of this man, Xingjie did not even treat her as a prisoner. , So I can still live happily as ordinary high school students."

  Zhu Qingyue’s voice turned from high-pitched to low-pitched, and her face regained a smile—but this time, she showed a mocking sneer.

"But all this has nothing to do with you. You have been the perpetrator from beginning to end. Aunt Lin, now you should understand that if everything you say is true, then your daughter will not. I should go back with you."

  "Because the real source of Xingjie’s family problems has not been solved at all. Not only that, the culprit has not even noticed all the mistakes he made until today!"

   "Ah...uh..."

  Ms. Lin seemed to be unable to say a complete sentence, tremblingly supported the tree next to her, and sat down with an embarrassing attitude.

  ……The so-called "more excited than the person involved" refers to this situation.

The squad leader scolded Lin Suya with righteous indignation, panting, her chest undulating fiercely, and glittering sweat flowing on her forehead, she seemed to have completely substituted for herself and became a victim of harm by her native family.

  In the process, Lin Xingjie, who was the real person involved, frowned, her eyes constantly moving back and forth on the faces of Zhu Qingyue and her mother.

  After the squad leader shut up, and her mother became desperate, the girl complained indifferently:

  "So annoying, I want you to be an outsider to take care of your business."

"Oops……"

  Zhu Qingyue seemed to have just come back to her senses, she smiled embarrassedly, this kind of attitude is quite rare for her.

   "Sorry, I'm a little excited. I really can't understand the kind of parents who are obviously irresponsible and like self-righteous parents."

  "……"

  Lin Xingjie ignored her again, but turned her gaze back to her mother.

   "However, Lin Suya, what this woman said just now is indeed similar to what I thought."

  She walked slowly to her mother.

A pair of high heels appeared in Lin Suya's vision, sitting paralyzed on the ground.

  The woman's chest became more and more dull. She just stared at the toe of the shoe, not daring to look up at her daughter's face.

  "Do you still have any thoughts of letting me go back? Or is there any excuse to defend yourself? You can tell it now."

"me……"

  The woman still couldn't answer a word.

  During this process, Xu Xiangyang never interrupted.

This scene is really pitiful in the eyes of unknowing others: a weather-beaten middle-aged woman who should have an overwhelming advantage in experience and experience, but was dumbed by two underage girls, and a pair is about to go. The appearance of a heart attack, one of them was her daughter.

   But of course he can’t stand by the other side out of sympathy, and he can’t even say “just words” like a peacemaker.

  Because, his thoughts are actually the same as those of the two girls.

  Ms. Lin is really not a qualified mother.

  It has nothing to do with how many life experiences you have had, and how many years you have gained. Li Qinglian has never married or even talked about love, but she is far more like a qualified parent than the woman in front of her.

"……Sorry."

  There was a long silence. Until the end, Lin Suya could only say this.

   "Actually, I have never really thought about how to be a mother. I have been confused all my life. Even after your father left, I started to learn how to live..."

  Ms. Lin seemed to be talking to herself, but halfway through, she was interrupted by her own wry smile.

   "Sorry, to say this, it seems that I'm shirking responsibility again."

"not completely."

  But Lin Xingjie was very calm. The girl no longer looked down at her mother from a condescending position, but squatted down and looked directly into each other's eyes.

"The hardships you and I have suffered in the past few years are indeed given by that irresponsible father. I also know that my former mother was an eldest lady who did not touch the sun with all her fingers. In my childhood memories, at that time You are really just like a kid, you can say that you don’t know the world."

  The mother and daughter looked at each other quietly for a while, and finally Ms. Lin found it unbearable and subconsciously turned her head.

   "...this is my problem."

"Yes, of course you have a problem. But in the final analysis it is still his fault. On the surface, he pretends to be an affectionate good man, and his attitude towards his wife can be'hold it in your hand for fear of falling, hold it in your mouth for fear of melting'. Described; after cultivating my wife's dependence mentality like this, one day she chooses to abandon her wife and children cruelly...Ah no, I get angry just thinking about him!"

  Lin Xingjie said, clenched his fists, and slammed the meadow by his feet viciously.

  Xu Xiangyang shivered immediately, and subconsciously covered his heart, feeling that the punch seemed to hit his chest.

  But this time it doesn’t hurt as much as before.

  I shouldn’t deliberately cultivate Xingjie to make her more dependent on herself, right? Qingyue had said similar things to make Xingjie his "love slave" or something... But he swears that he has never thought about it like this!

   "He left without saying goodbye," Lin Suya replied softly, "So, there may be reasons we don't know..."

  "You are always like this, Lin Suya! You, a woman like this, don't have a long memory, that's why you hurt me and yourself so much! What's more, you are a sinner now, do you still want to defend others?"

  Faced with her daughter's loud rants, Ms. Lin could only smile wryly and kept her mouth shut.

  ……

   "Let the two laugh."

Ten minutes later, Lin Suya, who had calmed down, came to Xu Xiangyang and Zhu Qingyue and bowed deeply to the two young people.

  "With irresponsible parents like me, Xingjie can still live as happily as it is now, is it all because of the company of two? You may not like me, but please allow me to say thank you."

  Xu Xiangyang and Zhu Qingyue accepted it frankly, while Xing Jie curled his lips beside him, with an expression that hesitated to speak.

  Xu Xiangyang was actually very clear about what she wanted to say but did not say:

   "Although I have experienced unprecedented happiness when I am with them, the heartache and sadness that I have never experienced before are also given by them."

  But put these words in the moment, so you don’t need to mention them for the time being, lest the other party has to make trouble again.

   "There is also Police Officer Li, please also convey my gratitude to her for me." Ms. Lin said to Xu Xiangyang, "At present, it seems that it is better for her to live with you two."

  Faced with Xingjie’s mother’s full trust, Xu Xiangyang was silent for a moment before speaking.

  In this mother-daughter confrontation, he expressed his opinion for the first time:

   "Actually, for Xingjie now, it doesn't matter where she lives."

"……Ok?"

  "Aunt Lin, now Xingjie is fully capable of taking care of herself by herself. Please don't look at her with the same eyes that you used to treat children."

   "That's it..."

"Yes."

  He shook his head vigorously.

   "So, when you said that you wanted to take Xingjie back, I really wanted to jump out to oppose it for the first time. But it's not because I can't worry about her. On the contrary..."

  Xu Xiangyang smiled.

   "——Because I can't bear her."

  He heard Lin Xingjie’s small gasping sound in his ears.

   is very light, very light, really light. But Xu Xiangyang was sure that he heard it right.

  But he didn't dare to turn his head to look at her face.

  Don’t look at him on the surface, but his heart is almost jumping to his throat, and his ears are completely red.

   "That's it."

  Ms. Lin repeated this sentence again, and she looked at him with a little complicated emotion, but her expression became happier.

  *

  Ms. Lin did not achieve the goal of this trip. Instead, she was ridiculed by the three young men and ended in an embarrassing ending; but when she left, there was no regret on the expression on her face, but a smile.

   Despite this, she is only one person after all. Come alone and leave alone.

The lonely back figure not far away looked thin and weak, as if a slightly larger wind could blow her to the sky; there were obvious signs of rickets on the back of the elderly, which had not been carefully taken care of. Hair is like a handful of dry weeds.

  She wore the same sneakers on her feet as Xingjie once, and she had already washed white. The dim and yellow street lamp resembled the setting sun, dragging the shadow of the woman on the ground long.

  They watched each other away in silence.

  When Ms. Lin was about to walk out of the road, the Rapunzel suddenly stopped him.

"mother!"

  She didn't call her by name anymore.

  Lin Suya turned her head and looked at her daughter suspiciously.

   "I don't believe the man named Sun Shengping, but I can see that you have feelings for him."

   "...I have been with him for half a year, and I think I know him well."

"Yes."

   Lin Xingjie still did not let go.

"The ugliness is at the forefront, even if it is the kind of man who looks very good on the surface-in fact, he has helped you several times without any regrets, and treats you sincerely, no one will feel that he has met himself. The man who is the destiny in his life-even if he is that kind of person, it is possible that he will become a scum on two boats when he is really together, let alone a prisoner who also likes to drink alcohol. Where's the guy!"

   "Puff."

  The squad leader next to him covered his mouth, his eyebrows were crooked, and he couldn't help laughing.

   and Xu Xiangyang is expressionless. There are enough arrows in his chest.

   "I mean, of course I won't go back to that home again. Because I have grown up, it is impossible to continue to be with you, so there is bound to be something that I don’t know much about. But—"

   Lin Xingjie took a deep breath and shouted at her mother under the street lamp.

  "——If you are bullied by someone, remember to tell me!"

   "Xing Jie..."

  Ms. Lin's eyes widened.

   "No matter what you do, it's my mother. I won't leave you alone!"

  Speaking of this, Lin Xingjie murmured again in a low voice: "Anyway, even if I am really angry and don't care about you, I must regret it afterwards..."

   "In any case—"

  After a short pause, the long-haired girl held her head high, looked straight ahead, and spoke decisively.

  "You are an irresponsible mother, but I will never be an irresponsible daughter!"

  Ms. Lin’s place is far away from the young people. But at that moment, the three of them all saw a bright luster in each other's eyes.

   is not an illusion. It was amidst the shining lights, and tears were swirling in the eyes.

  Lin Suya laughed and waved vigorously at her daughter, again and again, as if standing on the platform of a long-distance train, waving goodbye to the child who was about to embark on the journey in the window.

  *

   "Hey, did you see it?"

"Ok."

  Xu Xiangyang put his hands in his pockets, squinted his eyes and looked towards the end of the street shrouded in darkness.

   "Someone came to pick her up."

  Ms. Lin's back has become very vague, but she can still vaguely see the figure of the man accompanying her.

   "It seems that the man still cares about her, and he takes the initiative to pick it up. Of course, does he really feel guilty for you..."

   "It doesn't matter anymore. I have led a new life, and I will never have any contact with him."

   Lin Xingjie said.

   "I have said everything that needs to be said. Regardless of whether the things my mother said are true or false, I didn't mean to break my promise and make trouble for the other party. Anyway, I haven't really broken the picture... It's good luck."

  No, that man should be considered lucky, Xu Xiangyang thought.

  It is self-evident that girls value their appearance. Even if it only leaves a small mouthful on his face without recovering, the opponent will end up miserably.

  Speaking of this, during the period when he and Lin Xingjie gradually became acquainted, she had been wearing band-aids. Isn't that cute too...

  Xu Xiangyang shook his head vigorously, restraining his cranky thoughts.

"If it's'fake', I hope the two of them can know it well and quickly turn this matter into'true'." Lin Xingjie said coldly, "If I wait for me to do it again, I have to settle the old and new accounts together. ."

   "Wow, it's so cool~"

  Zhu Qingyue deliberately pretended to admire beside her, and deliberately stretched out her hands, trying to hug the long-haired girl's arm like a little lover.

   "I'm completely fascinated by you, Xingjie."

  Lin Xingjie glared at her, shook her hand away, turned around and walked towards the entrance of the restaurant without looking back.

  The two people who were behind looked at each other and smiled, and stepped forward to keep up.

  ……

  So, things come to an end tonight.

  Tonight belongs only to her.

  And tonight, it is far from the end.
