"Why, Linlin? Is something wrong? Tell auntie!" Although he had not officially recognized her, Li Wenxiu quickly replaced her role as aunt and looked at Zhang Linlin with a smile.
Zhang Linlin shook his head, hung up the phone, and put it on the table. When I saw Zhang Linlin doing this, I knew that Zhang Linlin's Foster parents must have done something!
Li Wenxiu saw that Zhang Linlin hung up the phone directly. Although he felt a little strange, he didn't ask any more questions and was ready to continue persuading Zhang Linlin to meet his own parents!
However, the phone came back to me again. For a moment, I felt as if Li Wenxiu was depressed.
"Is that you, Foster parents?" I asked Zhang Linlin at the right time, and Zhang Linlin smiled bitterly and nodded.
Upon hearing this, my eyes lit up and I said to Zhang Linlin, "Take it. Just let your aunt see what kind of person your Foster parents is?"
"No need!" Zhang Linlin frowned, but I reached for Zhang Linlin's phone, answered it, and pressed the hands-free button.
As soon as the call was connected, Zhang Linlin's foster father's cursed voice suddenly rang out. "Damn girl, we're not back yet. Your mother and I have nothing to eat! Do you want to starve us to death? You ungrateful little girl! When your big brother was around, he never starved the two of us!"
When Zhang Linlin heard this, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth. "Because the money he spent is mine too, it would be great to be generous to others!"
"Bastard, I should have pinched you when you were little! Hurry up and get us something to eat. Your mother and I have no money left!"
"I'll order you takeout later!" Zhang Linlin took a deep breath and said in a deep voice.
"Bullshit, how expensive is takeout? You must be burning up with money! There's so much money. Give it to me. I'll save it for your brother!"
"In your dreams! I'll order you takeout later. If you like it or not, I don't believe that you won't have any money left in your pockets! Okay, I'm hanging up!" With that, Zhang Linlin hung up the phone, trembling with anger.
Li Wenxiu frowned and gritted his teeth. "Linlin, is this your Foster parents? I'll help you teach them a lesson!"
"No need! Gather and disperse! I'm a little tired, I want to go back! Let's talk about it next time! Chen Bin, I want to go back!" Zhang Linlin looked at me eagerly. I nodded quickly and got up to take Zhang Linlin back!
But just then, Li Wenxiu stopped us and frowned. "Linlin, you can stay with your aunt! He's unreliable!"
"He's more reliable than all of you!" Zhang Linlin didn't care about Li Wenxiu's changing face. He took my hand and left. When he heard that, I smiled and looked at Li Wenxiu proudly.
Li Wenxiu was furious. "Take good care of Linlin!"
"Okay!" Although Li Wenxiu didn't like me very much, I still smiled and nodded. At this point, in fact, Zhang Linlin's recognition of the family has become a foregone conclusion, but the time is different!
Therefore, I don't need to offend Li Wenxiu too much. Generally speaking, women are unreasonable, not to mention that they are relatives, not to be beaten, not to be scolded!
And I know in my heart that what I'm doing now is actually not good for me in the end. Whether I succeed or not in the end, it doesn't mean anything to me. It's even possible that Zhang Linlin and I will be separated because of this!
But I don't care anymore, because I really don't want to see Zhang Linlin being bullied by his own Foster parents.
As for whether Zhang Linlin and I are destined to be together in the future or not, that's all for the future!
Yes, yes, no, then no.
When we got out of the restaurant, Zhang Linlin and I drove back to the apartment. On the way, Zhang Linlin didn't say a word. I saw Foster parents, who had ordered some takeout food from meituan for her.
There was a sense of helplessness.
Soon, Zhang Linlin and I returned to my apartment.
I said to Zhang Linlin, "Let's go! Home!"
"Mmm!" Zhang Linlin nodded in a daze. All of a sudden, Zhang Linlin looked at me with wide eyes and bright eyes, and said to me as if he had expended a lot of energy, "Chen Bin, if I lose a single family member in the future, would you like to be my family member?"
"Of course! Don't think too much! This is a good thing for you, not a disaster!" I said softly.
"But I feel lost, I feel empty! I don't know what to do! Zhang Linlin threw herself into my arms again. Although she did not cry this time, I could still vaguely feel Zhang Linlin's trembling. I held Zhang Linlin's body tightly, groped around her back, and whispered," don't think so much. You just need to know that you are a strong woman. Now even if you know that your biological parents are rich and rich, but so what? You can live on your own and be free to move forward and backward! What are you afraid of? You have a good life now, and it's all about your own efforts. In my opinion, you can still live well without anyone! Don't think about it so much, just let nature take its course!"
"Mmm!" Zhang Linlin grunted, looking so aggrieved, and said pitifully, "Chen Bin, why do you think my life is so miserable?"
"It will be fine. There will always be a chance to stand out!" I comforted Zhang Linlin.
I don't know if my words are still useful or if Zhang Linlin figured it out himself. Zhang Linlin smiled and said to me, "Let's go upstairs! Duo Duo is still waiting for me?"
"Is it possible that Duo Duo is not your own Foster parents?" Suddenly, I asked hesitantly.
"No, Duo Duo, she must be...!" Zhang Linlin suddenly stopped talking and looked a little uncertain.
Seeing Zhang Linlin like this, I was shocked and said strangely, "Is there a problem?"
"It seems a little...!"
"Well, check it out too!" I just said it casually, but I didn't expect Zhang Linlin to actually think of something, so I couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Zhang Linlin nodded solemnly.
After that, I took Zhang Linlin's hand upstairs and muttered, "What did you say you were walking so fast for? I haven't had enough to eat! That table didn't move much, and your aunt was there, so I was too embarrassed to say pack! What a waste!"
"Am I better than a table?" Zhang Linlin looked at me angrily.
I looked at Zhang Linlin playfully. "Unless you give me the little chrysanthemum!"
Zhang Linlin blushed and punched me. "Go away, pervert!"
