Chapter 187 - Adoption?
"Stone, you... Know him? " Auntie Li was surprised.
Lin Sitong glanced at the boy, who was still a little afraid, and couldn't help but slow his voice and say gently, "But … We just met in the courtyard. "
The Auntie Li nodded and said, "This child … Was he bullied again? "
"You know?" Lin Sitong looked at Auntie Li in shock.
Auntie Li sighed, she patted the little boy's head and revealed a look of helplessness, "We know, but we can't do anything about it. "Even if I scold them, even if I don't bully them in public, I will secretly bully them even more."
Lin Sitong could not help but frown slightly: "Is there no other way?"
"All we can do is try to keep him by our side." The Auntie Li sighed, "It's just that this is not a long-term solution."
"No one... Will you adopt him? " Lin Sitong asked.
Auntie Li looked down at the little boy and laughed bitterly: "Xiao Jie, he … "There are some flaws on your body …"
Lin Sitong could not help but be taken aback. Her gaze involuntarily landed on the little boy behind Auntie Li who had her head lowered.
Seemingly because of Auntie Li's words, Xiao Jie's head drooped even lower, her hands anxiously rubbing the corners of her clothes.
Auntie Li continued, "I don't know if he was born that day or the day after, but this child … You don't speak very quickly. "
Hearing the Auntie Li's words, Lin Sitong's eyes held a hint of tender love for Xiao Jie.
Pei Qingheng suddenly spoke into Lin Sitong's ears: "If you want, we can consider taking him in."
Lin Sitong's eyes lit up as she looked at Auntie Li.
Auntie Li's face revealed a gratified smile, but she shook her head and rejected the proposal. She said, "We appreciate your kind intentions. But... You don't meet the requirements for adoption either. Besides, you guys are busy with your work right now, so how would you have the time to accompany him? "
Lin Sitong was startled, she thought about her own matters, pursed her lips, and the light in her eyes gradually dimmed. After a long while, a bitter smile appeared on the corner of Lin Sitong's mouth: "This is because I want it to be simple."
"You, are still the same as before." Auntie Li looked at Lin Sitong with eyes full of love, "In the future, it will be the same if you come and see Xiao Jie more."
Lin Sitong nodded, stood up, walked to the side of the little boy with a twist and a limp, and squatted down to look at him, saying gently: "Your name is Xiao Jie, right?"
Xiao Jie retreated back in fear, raised his eyes and glanced at Lin Sitong, but did not say a word.
"In the future, elder sister will often come and play with you. Since someone is bullying you, just tell me, okay?" Lin Sitong said softly, as if he was afraid of scaring Xiao Jie.
Xiao Jie looked at Lin Sitong, his two hands tightly grabbing onto the hem of his clothes, and after a long while, he slowly nodded his head.
Lin Sitong stared blankly for a moment, the corners of her mouth curling up slightly, revealing a happy smile. She reached out to rub Xiao Jie's hair, and praised him while smiling: "Good girl."
Pei Qingheng stood behind Lin Sitong, and his gaze that was full of smiles never moved from Lin Sitong's body.
After looking for a while, Pei Qingheng raised his wrist, looked at the time and said: "It's getting late."
"Hmm?" Lin Sitong turned to look at Pei Qingheng, "Weren't we just here for a while?"
"Just now, Xiao Rui said he would treat us to a meal." As Pei Qingheng spoke, the corners of his mouth slightly curled up, revealing a faint smile. There's someone here to introduce us. "
"Someone wants to introduce us?" Lin Sitong blinked her eyes in confusion and asked suspiciously, "Director Ling and I … Are you familiar with it? "
Pei Qingheng said with a smile that was not a smile: "Why not? "After all …"
As he said that, Pei Qingheng's voice paused, went close to Lin Sitong's ear and whispered, "How is it, he also called you 'sister-in-law' so many times."
"Who's him …!" Lin Sitong was about to retort, when she saw the Auntie Li's curious gaze from the corner of her eyes.
Lin Sitong clenched her teeth, lowered her voice, and said angrily: "Who's his' sister-in-law '!"
"Explain it to him." Pei Qingheng looked at Lin Sitong with extreme innocence, his amber eyes filled with helplessness, "Right now, he has already determined that you are his sister-in-law."
Isn't it all because of you!
Lin Sitong stared straight at him with blazing eyes.
Looking at Lin Sitong's furious gaze, Pei Qingheng sighed in an aggrieved manner: "I'm not even your person. He personally invited you, but I have no way of refusing it for you either."
Lin Sitong, "..."
Pei Qingheng's intention was... [Is it all my fault?]
Lin Sitong squinted her eyes, revealing a dangerous expression.
"So …" It seems that no matter what happens, you have to personally make a trip and explain everything to him. " Pei Qingheng continued.
Lin Sitong, "..."
Pei Qingheng crossed his arms, he looked at Lin Sitong leisurely, and revealed a smile that required a beating.
Lin Sitong glared at Pei Qingheng hatefully, adjusted his facial expression, and said to Auntie Li: "Then Auntie Li, we will be leaving."
Seeing that the Auntie Li had indicated that she understood, Lin Sitong bent down again and patted Xiao Jie's head. I'll come see you next time! "
Xiao Jie pursed his lips and nodded.
Lin Sitong couldn't help but smile, and before she could say anything, she realized that the sky was spinning, and she was already being carried by Pei Qingheng.
"Pei!" Qing! "Heng!" Lin Sitong clenched her teeth and roared.
"Yes." Pei Qingheng replied calmly.
"You! Put me down! "
Pei Qingheng smiled, "I'm in a hurry, I'll carry you faster."
"[email protected] # $%..." Accompanied by the sounds of argument — — Prepare to speak of Lin Sitong's frantic voice and Pei Qingheng's calm reply, the figures of the two gradually disappeared.
"Young man …" Auntie Li laughed as she shook her head.
Soon, the motorcycle arrived in front of a high-end restaurant.
Lin Sitong took off her helmet, and with a smelly face, she climbed down from the back of the motorcycle.
A waiter walked over and politely asked, "Mister and xiaojie, would you like to make an appointment in advance or are you here on the spot?"
"I have an appointment." Pei Qingheng alighted from the carriage easily and said, "Top floor, seats, Ling Xiaorui."
"Alright, please follow me."
Following behind the waiter, the two of them soon reached the top floor.
"Sir, Miss, this way please." The waiter said politely.
"We can go by ourselves." Pei Qingheng said indifferently, his movements gentle as he supported Lin Sitong and walked in one direction.
