Chapter 138 telephone release
Back at the hotel, Li Haitang washed his face and lay in bed to rest for a while. After signing the bond with the couple today, she wasn't as relaxed as she seemed. When Ji Dongming took her out to play, she wasn't too happy, but she was somewhat relieved.
Lying on the bed, he picked up the letter of guarantee that was thrown at the head of the bed and read it carefully, smiling bitterly silently.
This was the biological parents of her life. The first time they met, they didn't say a word. The second time they met, they came to give such a result. They couldn't wait.
As she had guessed before, she was an unnecessary burden that they didn't want at all.
What is there to be forced to suffer, pure deception, such parents, the original owner of this short life is also sad. They gave her life, but they also personally pushed her into the abyss of suffering. She struggled in the mud, a small and thin child was looking for her own direction in confusion and helplessness. Fortunately, with the help of her teachers and classmates, she did not give up on herself, did not degenerate, but died in the mud.
"Zheng Wentao!"
Her slightly calloused fingers caressed the name, and a sarcastic smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, which was the name of her biological father. After 17 years, he finally knew his name on this letter of guarantee. Oh, what a sad thing.
Well, well, these people had nothing to do with her anymore. She got what she wanted. She could really live a quiet life in the future.
She put down the letter of guarantee and closed her eyes in a daze and fell asleep. It didn't take long for her to have a dream. Perhaps she was affected by her depressed mood today. What she saw in the dream was not very good.
It was already half past five when she woke up. Through the window, she saw that the sunlight outside was much softer and the temperature had dropped. She got up from the bed, cleaned up the things that were thrown on the bed, went to the bathroom to wash up, closed the door and went downstairs.
Walking to a nearby store, Li Haitang walked in. She still planned to tell Li Jianguo about today's incident. He was her father in her heart, and she needed to give him feedback about what was going on outside.
"Beep!"
The phone in the shop rang three times, and Sister liu, who was settling the bill, took the call, "Hello, hello!"
"Sister liu, it's me."
Li Haitang's cold and clean voice came from the other side. Sister liu's smile widened a little. "Haitang, it's you. When will you be back?"
"Come back tomorrow, the day after tomorrow evening." Li Haitang paused and asked, "Sister liu, is my dad there?"
"Yes, he just went to look for Wang Yao next door. Wait a minute. I'll get him to answer the phone." Sister liu put down the phone and trotted to the next room to call for help.
Li Jianguo had just gone to Wang Yao to check the financial accounts for this month and was only halfway through. When he heard Li Haitang calling, he immediately ran back and picked up the phone, "Haitang, what's the matter?"
"Dad, I have something to tell you." Li Haitang organized the words in his mind, but for a moment he didn't know how to speak.
"Yes, what's the matter?" Li Jianguo thought she was going to talk about the business in the shop, so he took the pen and paper from the side and prepared to take notes. But there was silence all the time. He was sensitive to the possibility that something might have happened and frowned, "Haitang, what's wrong with you?"
"Dad, I'm fine. I just want to talk to you about something. I, I saw them yesterday." Li Haitang looked down at the phone and said. Her thin body looked a little lonely. The shopkeeper couldn't help but look at her.
"Them? Who did you see?" Li Jianguo did not expect it for a moment.
Li Haitang did not know what was wrong with her. When she heard Li Jianguo's voice, she suddenly felt like crying. She pursed her lips and her voice trembled, "They are Li Xiaoqin and that man."
Li Jianguo's pupils shrank and his throat tightened. "Haitang, how did you know it was them? Did they recognize you?"
"The sixth grandpa and his family were here yesterday." Li Haitang choked, and suddenly tears began to fall from his eyes, wiping them and telling him what had happened over the past two days intermittently.
Sometimes she needed a vent when she was in trouble. At this time, she regarded Li Jianguo as the target of her vent. Even though jiang chuheng and ji Dongming comforted her, she still wanted to talk to Li Jianguo.
In fact, Li Xiaoyu was right. Deep down in her heart, she longed for family love. She longed for the family love that really loved her and spoiled her. That was why she cherished the bloodless foster father and daughter relationship with Li Jianguo and the brother-sister relationship with Li Tao.
The shop owner looked at her occasionally at first, but then listened carefully. When she heard that this beautiful girl had such a dispute with her own parents, she was still crying so bitterly that even she was sad to hear it. She took a piece of paper from the counter and gave it to her, "This classmate, wipe it."
"Thank you." Tears rolled down Li Haitang's eyes, red and swollen. He thanked her and took the tissue to wipe his tears.
Li Jianguo was very upset. He broke a ballpoint pen. He was a bad talker. Now he heard her cry so sadly, and he didn't know how to comfort her. "Haitang, stop crying. They, hey, since they don't want to recognize you, let's just pretend that they don't."
Although Sister liu did not hear the conversation between the father and daughter, he also guessed something from his words. This haitang's luck was too... The first time he came to the provincial capital, he could meet his uncle, the second time he met his grandparents and his family, the first time he went to the capital, he met his biological parents. The world was really small.
"Well, I signed a letter of guarantee with them this morning. Chu heng sent someone from the notary office to handle it. Both parties promised not to disturb each other." Li Haitang finished talking to him, cried and vented, and his mood improved a lot.
Li Jianguo felt a little comforted and said, "It's a good thing that you have Instructor jiang with you. It's better that way. You should thank him later."
"Yes, I see."
If he didn't talk about it, Li Haitang really forgot. She really should thank him and Ji Dongming for this. After a day of confusion, her mind was a little confused. She rubbed her temples and tried to cheer herself up.
"That's it. That's it. We'll treat them like we don't have any of their family anymore. Since they don't want to recognize you at all, sooner or later, it's better that they do it today." Li Jianguo said this, but his mind was reminded of what happened nearly 20 years ago. People were really too fickle. She had become so much that he couldn't even imagine it.
"Yes." Li Haitang wiped his swollen eyes and his voice was a little hoarse, "Dad, I'm fine. I'm just not in a good mood today. I still feel a little depressed after walking around in the afternoon, so I want to talk to you. Now that I'm done, my heart is at ease. I'm fine. You don't have to worry."
Li Jianguo sighed, thinking that a girl like her would be in a bad mood when she happened to meet someone she didn't know well. So far away, they could only say a few words over the phone, but comforted him, "It's getting late now. Go home early and rest. Tomorrow we'll take the train. I'll pick you up at the train station the day after tomorrow."
"Okay, I'll hang up then. Bye." Li Haitang hung up, paid for the call, and thanked the landlady before leaving.
Li Jianguo also hung up the phone, and his face was very ugly. Liu Fen frowned and asked him, "Jianguo, did haitang see her biological parents? What the hell happened?"
Li Jianguo was a little upset, lit a cigarette, picked up some important things and told her.
Liu Fen's face was livid and angry, "How can there be such parents in this world? Haitang has everything now. She doesn't need to rely on them at all. She didn't go to them and scold them for abandoning her. Are they so eager to get rid of her? No matter how sensible and smart she is, she is only a 17 year old child. They gave birth to her, and if they don't raise her, they still act so ruthlessly, which really refreshes my understanding."
"What's wrong? What happened?"
Li Jianhua and the others finished their work in the warehouse. They had just returned to hand in the bill. As soon as they reached the door, they heard Liu Fen's angry voice, as if they had vaguely heard the name of haitang.
After Li Jianguo finished smoking, he frowned and said, "Let Liu Fen tell you. I'll go next door and finish up the accounts with Wang Yao." Then he strode off.
When they got to the next room, Wang Yao and Duan Meifang pulled him to ask about Li Haitang's phone call. When they learned that such a big thing had happened in the capital in the past two days, they were as angry as Liu Fen.
Wang Li, who had come to play during the summer vacation, was also in the shop. She was a hot-tempered person, and she knew best that Li Haitang had suffered so much when he was a child that she was so angry that she scolded him in the shop. If Zheng Wentao and Li Xiaoqin were here, she would probably point at their noses and curse.
Li Haitang did not know that her phone call had completely disrupted the peace in the two shops. It was a simple age, and these workers were honest people with no crooked thoughts. How could they not understand what was going on in the minds of the couple when they heard such a thing?
"If I had such a daughter, I would have spoiled her to heaven. A teenager, smart, sensible, good grades, promising, still running such a big store, filial to his elders, and where to find such a good daughter. Oh, they're still so disgusted, so eager to break all ties. I'm really curious about their family background." A fellow worker who worked with Li Jianguo in the granary said while smoking a cigarette.
Li Mingtang was holding a large enamel cup in his hand, his blue sleeves were wet with sweat, and he remembered Li Xiaoqin's appearance in his mind. They grew up together when they were young, but at that time, they didn't expect her to be such a person, and her voice was a little low, "I heard that the man made money in business, not in government. I don't know what's so great about it. Even if he earned more money, haitang would not earn less in the future. Her brain was so smart that she might earn more than him in a few years. Hmph, I'll regret them to death then."
"Exactly. When she gets into a prestigious university next year and goes to work in an agency, it's not a problem for her to get promoted quickly with her abilities. That's when they really regret it." Uncle liu also came to talk.
