Chapter 69
Yu Qiao looked at her, the smile on her face faded: "The school gate?"
Xie Bufei took her hand and walked to a secluded place, and told her in detail what happened just now.
Yu Qiao's gaze gradually sank, and she said, "Tell me about his appearance again."
Xie Bufei thought for a while, and described: "About 50 to [-] years old, tall, with a very deep voice. His hair is short, and there is a scar at the corner of his mouth. He looks very difficult to get along with."
Yu Qiao was silent for a long time, then lowered her eyes: "It is indeed him."
Her face became as pale as paper, her breathing gradually became short of breath, and a thin layer of sweat oozed from her forehead, like a sign of some kind of stress reaction.
Seeing this, Xie Bufei quickly supported her, worried: "Quietly..."
She remembered that when Yu Qiao mentioned about her father before, she also had such a reaction.
Yu Qiao leaned on her shoulder, her chest heaving violently.
The usual strength and calm faded away a little bit, revealing a bit of fragility and helplessness in line with his age.
Only then did Xie Bufei realize that Yu Qiao was nothing more than that.
Ordinary girls at this age grow up under the protection of their parents, do not have to bear the burden of basic necessities, food, daily necessities, rice, oil and salt, and lead a carefree and colorful life.
And Yu Qiao is like a chick thrown in the nest, flapping her wings, clumsily learning to fly and prey, no one taught her how to do it, she grew up alone, and became so excellent and good.
She suddenly felt sad for Yu Qiao.
Xie Bufei's eyes were slightly sour, and she held back the choking in her throat.
Yu Qiao slowed down for a moment, her heartbeat calmed down.She looked at Xie Bufei, with a smile on her pale face, and said softly, "I haven't cried yet, why did my sister cry first?"
Xie Bufei lightly touched Yu Qiao's cheek with her fingers, tears streaming down her face: "I want to treat you well."
She couldn't make up for the pain Yu Qiao had experienced in the past, she could only show her beating heart.That was the best, unique thing in the world she could give.
Yu Qiao looked at her silently for a while, her eyes behind the transparent lenses gleamed, like the light reflected from the snow, or like tears.
She said, "You've been nice to me."
In the past, many people knew Yu Qiao's experience and lamented for her, but no one cried for her.
All beings are suffering, and everyone hurriedly walks their own way, just looking at her, and will not stop because of it.
Only Xie Bufei stayed for her and handed her a pack of facial tissues.
She still remembers the burn on her calf, and the soft, sweet scent of lily-of-the-valley that accompanied her to sleep on that tumultuous autumn night.
From then on, she was never alone again.
Yu Qiao lowered her head, kissed the corners of Xie Bufei's eyes lightly, and gently wiped away those shattered tears with her warm lips.
"Stop crying, stop crying..."
Xie Bufei put her arms around her waist, raised her face like a small animal, rubbed her with the tip of her nose, and said, "Then I won't cry, and you shouldn't cry either."
Yu Qiao looked at her tenderly, stretched out her hand to wipe away the tears rolling down her cheeks, and replied, "Okay."
After a while, Xie Bufei calmed down, her voice was a little hoarse: "Quietly, you should try to stay in school these few days and don't go out."
Yu Qiao lowered her eyes and said in a low voice: "I'm a little worried about my mother. I don't know how he found out that I am in University A, and whether he already knows my home address."
Xie Bufei: "Why don't you tell Auntie to live in another place for a while?"
Yu Qiao's face was gloomy: "You can hide for a while, but you can't hide forever."
Xie Bufei said: "Then what do you want to do, I will help you."
Yu Qiao was silent, and said, "I want to ask him what he wants to do with me."
Xie Bufei quickly said: "No!"
Her lips moved, and her wet eyes were full of worry: "I don't know what he will do to you, I'm afraid something will happen to you."
Yu Qiao's eyes were heavy, and she said softly: "He is so anxious to find me, maybe he wants to get something from me. Only by knowing what he wants can we grasp his weakness."
Xie Bufei bit her lip: "But..."
"Sister, it's alright."
Yu Qiao patted her on the head with her hand, and smiled reassuringly, "I can't avoid him forever."
Xie Bufei looked at her uncompromising expression, and finally gave in reluctantly: "Then I will go with you."
Yu Qiao smiled, shook her head and said, "You have to stay, I want to ask you for something."
……
In the next few days, Yu Qiao did not leave the school again.On Saturday, she took the car to the small county in the evening, returned home, and told her mother about the incident in detail.
After Gu Cuilan finished listening, her face turned pale, and her hands on her knees trembled slightly.
She asked with luck: "Are you sure... are you sure it's really your father? Maybe, maybe it's a mistake..."
"It must be him, no one else will find me in this way."
Gu Cuilan bit her lip, her eyes flickered.
The setting sun shone through the window, and the orange-red afterglow filled the small living room.
The woman sitting on the sofa was wearing simple work clothes, her black hair was draped on her shoulders, and the lines of time had passed on her no longer young face.
She was silent for a long time, then said hesitantly, "Quietly, or...forget it."
Yu Qiao didn't speak.
"He... After all, he is also your father, and you have the blood passed down from him in your body."
Gu Cuilan's voice was full of exhaustion, "In case, in case he gets better and wants to be a good person again, we should give him a chance..."
For a long time, she didn't hear Yu Qiao's answer, and her fingers on her knees clenched tightly.
With her back to the window, the young girl sat motionless, her face a bit blurred in the dusk light and shadow.
She finally spoke: "Have we given him too few chances?"
"Mom, are those scars on your body healed? Don't you feel itchy every year when it rains?"
Yu Qiao lifted the hem of her clothes, revealing the long and narrow scar on her waist.
"Do you remember how this injury came about? When he was 12 years old, he was drunk and kicked me down, and I hit the corner of the table."
Gu Cuilan's eyes moved, and she mumbled: "He did make a mistake, but, he is your father..."
Yu Qiao sat up straight and said expressionlessly, "Because he is my father, I will not forgive him."
"Mom, if you think about it carefully, in fact, we can live well without him these years."
Gu Cuilan looked at her, feeling slightly sour in her heart, and said in a low voice, "I'm afraid you'll work too hard, and I want to give you a complete family."
No one could understand better than her how difficult it was for a single Omega to bring a young child to a strange big city in those days.
Without the support of Alpha by my side, it took many criticisms, cold eyes, and ups and downs to get to where I am today.
Every time she heard someone mocking behind her back that Yu Qiao didn't have a father, she felt overwhelmed with sadness.
Yu Qiao stretched out her hand and pressed it on the back of her hand, her gaze was firm and clear: "Mom, we don't need him anymore."
"I've grown up, and I can take care of you slowly. You don't need to wrong yourself to accept a domestic violence murderer." She said softly, "I can't accept what he did in my life, and I won't forgive."
Gu Cuilan looked at her clear eyebrows, feeling inexplicably sad and relieved.
This child seemed to have grown up so much before she knew it.
She knew that she was weak and submissive, and she was always afraid of her husband, but she didn't dare to resist.
Fortunately, Yu Qiao didn't follow her heart.
Gu Cuilan had mixed feelings, sighed heavily, and said, "I'll listen to you."
Yu Qiao smiled, and patted the back of her hand: "Mom, don't go out these few days. If Yu Chongming comes to look for you, you must not open the door for him."
Gu Cuilan nodded: "Okay, I'll take a few days off."
She worried again: "Where did he get your information?"
Yu Qiao shook her head.
Gu Cuilan: "You must also be careful."
The two chatted for a while, Yu Qiao put down the teacup in her hand, and said casually, "Mom, I'm with senior sister."
Gu Cuilan's eyes widened when she heard that, "Is that the senior sister Xie you brought home?"
"is her."
"Xiao Fei is a good girl, you have to be nice to her, don't bully her." Gu Cuilan paused, showing hesitation, "But I remember she is an Alpha, right? Can she accept you?"
Yu Qiao paused and said, "Actually, she is an Omega."
Gu Cuilan: "?"
Yu Qiao touched the tip of her nose, and said a little embarrassedly: "It's a long story. Anyway, we have always liked each other."
Gu Cuilan smiled and said, "Okay, okay, as long as you like it, I have no objection."
She joked again: "I thought that you would never bring back the person you like in your life."
Yu Qiao looked bewildered: "Really?"
Gu Cuilan took a sip of tea, and said leisurely: "Your child has been cold since he was a child, like a robot, he knows how to study in a day. It's like the kind of intellectual who has devoted his life to scientific research, and those who fall in love are just floating clouds. "
She used a very old Internet vocabulary, which made Yu Qiao feel embarrassed and said, "Mom, you are exaggerating..."
Gu Cuilan smiled slightly: "When will I bring Xiao Fei back to meet the parents? I'll cook my special dishes for you."
Xie Bufei went back to Xie's house as usual.
The living room was dimly lit, Xie Hongxin was sitting on the sofa and looked towards her when he heard the door open.
He turned his face and coughed heavily, his voice hoarse: "You still know how to come back?"
Xie Bufei looked at the dark circles under his eyes and said, "What's wrong with you?"
"It's nothing, the company is busy recently." Xie Hongxin thought that she was caring about him, and his heart warmed up.
Xie Bufei dragged the suitcase and walked towards the stairs, said calmly: "Don't stay up late, be careful of sudden death."
"Wait!" Xie Hongxin called out to her loudly, "Where did you go last Saturday?"
Xie Bufei sneered, and asked back: "It's strange, Xie Ke didn't tell you?"
Xie Hongxin got a headache from her anger, and stretched out his hands to rub his temples: "Do you have to make trouble with me once you go home? Yes, she told me that you went out to play with your friends."
Xie Bufei looked at his face with disgust in his heart.
"Isn't that quite clear?"
Xie Hongxin narrowed his eyes: "Your friend, is that girl you brought home that day?"
Xie Bufei gave a slight pause, pretending to be relaxed: "So what, do I have to report to you when I go out to play now?"
Xie Hongxin looked at her expression, and said for a long time: "Tomorrow, you go to see the youngest daughter of the Tang family and talk about the marriage."
