Chapter 19 9
To Xi Wanfeng's surprise, what he felt after paying the money was no longer resentment, but a short-lived, deceptive peace. He had reason to believe that the other party was a habitual offender. Didn't he say so himself? Live by it.He may have made a career out of keeping an eye on the private lives of the rich, profiting from their affairs by selling them out.
That's right, he has no enmity with him, he just wants money, he won't betray his secret, Xi Wanfeng comforted himself, looking at the receipt in his hand, he calmed down.
In the evening, Xi Wanfeng didn't go to the company, he went home directly.Cheng Lan sent a text message in advance to say that his nephew was coming to play at home tonight, and Xi Wanfeng brought back some snacks that children like to eat from the supermarket.
When Xi Wanfeng was ready for dinner, Cheng Lan and his nephew just rang the doorbell. Xi Wanfeng pulled himself together, wiped his hands, and after confirming that there was nothing wrong with his facial expression, he went to open the door.
"Brother Xiaofeng!" The nephew rushed towards Xi Wanfeng excitedly, rubbing his face against his waist,
Cheng Lan's nephew liked Xi Wanfeng very much, probably because Xi Wanfeng often took him to play games, and sometimes held parent-teacher meetings for him.
"Xiao Chi, brother misses you so much." Xi Wanfeng patted the child's head.
Cheng Lan pursed his lips deliberately and said:
"Xiao Chi, how many times have I told you that my name is Uncle Xiaofeng."
Xiao Chi stuck out his tongue and shouted naturally: "Cream mushroom soup, I love it so much!"
Cheng Lan sighed, Xi Wanfeng pinched Cheng Lan's face:
"You are the uncle, and I am the elder brother. Don't mislead the children."
"Isn't that inferior?" Cheng Lan kissed the boy.
Xi Wanfeng responded with great cherishment, then opened his eyes and asked anxiously:
"Honey, did you get any weird text messages today?"
Cheng Lan raised his eyebrows: "En?"
"My little one, what have you received?"
Seeing Cheng Lan's expression as if he didn't know anything, Xi Wanfeng replied hesitantly:
I... I got a text message that I won the lottery. "
Cheng Lan laughed softly and patted the boy's head: "My baby has won the lottery, what do you want to buy?"
The boy shook his head: "I want to buy you, and you will never leave me."
Cheng Lan suddenly became quiet, and looked at the boy affectionately: "I belong to you forever."
They exchanged a deep French kiss, and Xiao Chi suddenly appeared between the two:
"Wow~ This is how adults communicate~"
"Xiao Chi!" Cheng Lan beat his nephew upside down.
There was a child at the dinner table, and the atmosphere became much more relaxed and cheerful. Xi Wanfeng drank mushroom soup and suddenly began to thank the decision he made to give money to the blackmailer immediately.
At about nine o'clock in the evening, Xi Wanfeng finished cleaning the kitchen and found some black debris in the trash can. Out of doubt, he carefully picked up one piece and found that it looked familiar. After thinking about it carefully, it was Cheng Lan's bedside. A handicraft horn was placed. When I bought it, Xi Wanfeng said, "Why didn't he grab such a small shell for [-] yuan?" So he was particularly impressed by it.
The trash can is emptied once a day, so things are broken today. Xi Wanfeng had a clue in his mind, pretended not to see it, tied up the mouth of the bag, and pasted a post-it note on it: Be careful of the broken pieces, put them at the door for delivery. Take it away by cleaning staff who specialize in recycling.
I wanted to hide it for the child, but Cheng Lan's observation skills were almost sharp. As soon as Cheng Lan entered the bedroom, he felt a little different. After looking carefully, the bedside table was a bit empty.
Cheng Lan asked Xi Wanfeng, Xi Wanfeng looked away and said he broke it.Cheng Lan patted the boy's head:
"Xiao Chi begged you to help him take the blame?"
Xi Wanfeng did not expect to do something wrong with good intentions:
"No, really not. I thought the child must be scared, so I didn't ask him. Anyway, it's just a decoration, and there are not many things in the house? Let's forget it, huh?"
Cheng Lan folded his arms and said with some seriousness:
"Things are small, but the child is still young, so he cannot develop the habit of being afraid of admitting mistakes and taking responsibility. I will talk to Xiao Chi."
Xi Wanfeng couldn't stop him, so he could only follow in with a worried face.
Xi Wanfeng heard Cheng Lan talk to the child gently, but the child denied it at first, and lowered his eyes in shame, because he was trembling even when he spoke because he was afraid of showing his feet.Later, Cheng Lan told him: It is understandable that he concealed the truth because he was afraid of being punished. Everyone was afraid of being punished when they were young.But although we can understand it, he should bravely admit his mistakes and accept punishment, so that he can stop lying in the future.
The child held back his mouth and burst into tears of grievance, but Cheng Lan still said:
"Then as a punishment, I won't be able to take you to the equestrian club tomorrow. I know you've been looking forward to it for two weeks, but I'm sure you'll accept your punishment for lying. Right?"
The child just cried more sadly, Xi Wanfeng wanted to hug the child, but Xiao Chi pushed him away, rushed to the bathroom and locked the door, crying bitterly.
Xi Wanfeng looked at Cheng Lan, expecting him to say something.
Cheng Lan rubbed his forehead:
"Do you want to ask me if anyone regrets it? No, although he is crying sadly now, the burden in his heart has been completely let go. When he comes out again, he knows that no one will doubt what he has done. , and no one will blame him again, although he lost his equestrian club, but he gained inner peace and comfort."
Xi Wanfeng was stunned. He saw Cheng Lan's still water eyes, which seemed to be expressing some foreign language. Xi Wanfeng's eyes suddenly turned red. He couldn't help but refute, crying with trembling , not only for the children, but also for myself, for my fear and guilt that cannot be seen:
"Have you ever thought that he may just dare not admit his mistakes in front of his relatives because of shame? Maybe he will not escape his mistakes to outsiders? You know, the closer you are, the more It's about being ashamed."
Cheng Lan rubbed the side of his chin with his index finger, as if thinking carefully, then opened his eyes wide again, and there seemed to be a flash of surprise in those eyes:
"You're right, maybe it's shame that prevented him from admitting his mistakes, thank you baby, I want to inform him that he won his equestrian club again because of you, baby." Cheng Lan lovingly pulled the boy over, A kiss fell on the top of his head.
Xi Wanfeng looked at Cheng Lan's back and frowned in pain, and asked silently with his eager eyes: Cheng Lan, can I tell you?Will you understand my shame?
