1. First encounter(1/2)
Cheng Simian is a very gentle name, which sounds soft and like a breeze. But everyone who knows Cheng Simian knows that she does not match her name at all. If she is really a wind, it will be a tornado.
Perhaps because she was too overbearing, she was even more miserable when she was abandoned.
Now Cheng Simian, who is standing in front of a small villa, only has a suitcase beside him.
Ten minutes later, someone drove in the parking space. A man got out of the car, wearing a casual suit and a pair of leather shoes.
Cheng Simian watched him walk step by step, his eyes flashed over his angry face, and a little cold, and his pink lips pursed into a line.
"What kind of eyes, what kind of eyes are you?" Cheng Qin felt numb with scalp, "Why did your father throw you to me, why did you really come to me? Who is he!"
Cheng Simian leaned against the suitcase, looked up at him, and replied casually, "Uncle, he is your biological brother. He ran away from bankruptcy, and he only has you, he is the only relative. Well... so I threw me to you."
"Kiss a shit brother? I have never had any contact with my dad, that is, your grandfather, since he died. He never thought about me when he was rich and powerful. Now he has gone bankrupt and ran away. Do you know how to ask me for help?" Cheng Qin hummed, "You go find someone else and live with whom you like."
"But I have no one else to look for except you." Cheng Simian put away the chill in his eyes and said with a grievance, "And I don't have a penny on me."
Cheng Qin almost stopped breathing, "Then how can I take care of you? I'm still in my life and want to find a girlfriend. You are too burdened!"
"You don't have to take care of me, and I won't disturb you from having a girlfriend." Cheng Simian said with a serious face, "As long as you give me a place to live and put more chopsticks when eating, I have paid the money from my school before, and you don't have to worry about my tuition. If you are kind, you can give me some pocket money."
"You!" Cheng Qin collapsed on the spot.
Cheng Simian flattened her lips and her big eyes were filled with tears, "Uncle, I am the only relative, my mother doesn't want me, and my dad doesn't want me either. If you don't take me in, I will be on the streets. Uncle, I'm afraid."
Cheng Simian's words contained tremolo, and his acting skills that could win the Oscars, looked very pitiful.
Cheng Qin was still a little touched when he saw Cheng Simian like this. A few years ago, when the relationship had not broken down, he loved this niece very much.
But he just hates his brother's mischievous behavior. Why did he run away by himself and throw his daughter to him?! Are you very familiar with him?
"My dad will come back. I won't bother you for too long, okay?" Cheng Simian pulled Cheng Qin's sleeve, "I beg you, uncle, just let me live, otherwise my dad has so many enemies, I don't know if he will be..."
Cheng Qin closed his eyes and finally compromised. In fact, he had the intention of compromising before coming, otherwise he wouldn't even appear. "I'm not the only one here, and I won't give you a lot of money to squander. You are no longer a lady, do you understand!"
Cheng Simian nodded vigorously, "I'm very comfortable!"
"Hmph, it's better to do this. Come in with me." Cheng Qin took out the key and opened the door. "I'll have something to do later, so you can stay yourself."
"kindness."
"Because you and I interrupted the dinner, it's really..."
"Uncle, you haven't graduated yet, are you senior?" Cheng Simian followed him into the door, "That's quite amazing."
"Ha, if I'm not awesome, I'll starve to death. Your dad's heartlessness took away most of your grandfather's property when I was young and ignorant. I'll be angry when I think about it!"
"Don't be angry, don't be angry, you see, he will be retribution now." Cheng Simian curled his lips, "People are too greedy."
Cheng Qin looked back at her, "That's what you said about your dad?"
"Uncle, I am on the united front with you now. Look, you have been abandoned as a younger brother, and I have been abandoned as a daughter. Isn't this the same sympathy?"
"Go to you, who is in love with you?" Cheng Qin pulled his tie, "The left side of the upstairs is my room, and the other rooms are from someone else. As for you, you are not allowed to move anywhere until I come back, just sit in the living room obediently. Do you understand?"
Cheng Simian nodded.
"Okay, I have something urgent to do, let's go first."
"Oh, uncle!"
Cheng Qin ignored her at all, opened the door and went out.
Cheng Simian heard the sound of the car starting, and she gave up and called Cheng Qin.
She had no money, so she got here by walking today. After walking all day, she was almost exhausted and hungry.
Cheng Simian chose the latter between fatigue and hunger, so he hurried on the sofa to sleep.
After sleeping for two hours, Cheng Simian woke up from hunger. She opened her eyes and looked around, quietly, with only a chandelier on.
It was past eleven o'clock and Cheng Qin had not come back yet.
Cheng Simian got up and went to the kitchen to find food. He opened the refrigerator and was empty. There was only an apple that had been left for unknown amount of time and was lying alone inside.
Cheng Simian, “…”
"Click." Someone opened the door with the key.
Cheng Simian's eyes lit up. When she thought that Cheng Qin had something to eat when she came back, she ran to the door happily, intending to greet him in the most enthusiastic state.
"Uncle~ You are finally back, I..." The voice stopped abruptly, and Cheng Simian stared out of the door in a daze.
The person outside the door also paused on the door handle.
The man who opened the door was wearing a black suit, a black tie, and his hair was meticulous. He stood there with the unique coldness of the outdoors.
Is this my uncle's friend? Cheng Simian looked at him calmly and looked really beautiful.
Her skin was slightly white, her eyebrows and eyes were very quiet, her lips were pursed, and the face that looked at her was so delicate that it was unremarkable.
It is gentle and peaceful, but it is not the kind of peace that makes people dare to talk to you after seeing it. Instead, I just want to just look at it like this, maybe this is what you can see from afar and not be slandered.
"Are you?" His lips opened slightly, with doubt.
Cheng Simian has always been good at speaking and acting, but at this moment, he is stuck.
He walked closer and looked down at him, "Uncle? Who are you calling?"
Cheng Simian took a step back unconsciously, "My name is Cheng Simian."
He didn't say anything.
Cheng Simian coughed and continued, "I came to find my uncle, Cheng Qin. He asked me to wait for him at home and then went out. He hasn't come back yet. Do you know where he is?"
He raised his eyebrows slightly, as if he understood, "He might be late for social engagements tonight."
"oh……"
He nodded, walked around her, then turned around after walking a few steps, frowned slightly, "Do you need to contact him?"
Cheng Simian nodded quickly, "Okay."
After saying that, Cheng Simian watched him take out his cell phone.
Cheng Simian's eyes swept over his hands, with clear joints and slender whiteness. His nails were neatly crafted, like a moist shell attached to his fingertips.
"Check it."
Cheng Simian withdrew his gaze and took the phone out of his hand.
Cheng Qin didn't answer the phone after a long time. Cheng Simian waited for a mechanized female voice to come from there and returned the phone to him, "No one answered."
"Yeah." He put away his cell phone, "I'll be back a little later. If you want to sleep in his room and rest." After that, he turned around and walked towards the stairs.
"Hey! Wait a minute!" Cheng Simian called him, "What's your name?"
He turned around and paused, but he still answered, "Su Xianyan."
Courteous and alienated.
Cheng Simian silently recited it in his heart. Then when he was about to go upstairs, he grabbed his sleeves. His voice was clear but pitiful, "Su Xianyan, I'm almost starving. Can you give me some food?"
A few minutes later, Cheng Simian sat at the table, holding his chin and watching Su Xianyan boil water in the kitchen.
"Do you want help?"
"Sit down." His voice was a little low, but it felt very moist and very magnetic.
"Oh." Cheng Simian shook his calves.
Cheng Simian is a very smart person. She knows when to show weakness and when to be strong. She could do anything wrong in the past, but now she can't.
She needs to live here, so she acted pitifully in front of Cheng Qin, and she should be more obedient. Now she needs to eat, so she is even more obedient in Su Xianyan.
Half an hour has passed.
"Eat it." Su Xianyan put a steaming dumpling in front of her, "The only one left in the house."
"I thought there was only one apple left, and it turned out that there were dumplings in the freezer." Cheng Simian brought the bowl over and ate it quickly. After being hungry for a day, he ate the warm dumplings with meat filling. Cheng Simian felt that he was about to ascend to heaven.
Su Xianyan looked at the little girl in front of him and vaguely remembered that Cheng Qin had mentioned it before... he had complained about the little girl's father.
Some time ago, it was said that his brother was bankrupt, and Cheng Qin sighed that his niece was going to become a Cinderella from a princess. Unexpectedly, he would see the niece he mentioned at home today.
"Su Xianyan, you are so nice." Cheng Simian suddenly looked up at him, his eyes were bright and childishly satisfied. Su Xianyan was stunned by her and heard her say, "This is the first meal I have eaten today. No one cares whether I eat or not, so you can put dumplings for me."
Su Xian said, “…”
It’s not his good thing, it’s because she was so tangled just now that she must make it a treat for her pitifulness.
Cheng Simian was really hungry and quickly finished a bowl of dumplings.
She breathed in satisfaction, stood up, "I'll clean up."
He picked up the dishes and chopsticks very diligently.
Su Xianyan looked at the little girl walking past in front of him, and she was only as tall as his chest. He was thin and weak. He remembered Cheng Qin said before that this child was very wild and disobedient, but now it seems that it is okay.
The door rang again, and this time Cheng Qin was really back. Cheng Qin was a little surprised when he came in and saw Su Xianyan, "You didn't sleep in the company today."
"Yeah, I'm back."
"Then you see Cheng Simian." As soon as he finished speaking, Cheng Qin saw Cheng Simian come out of the kitchen with a smile on his face, "Uncle, you are back. He made dumplings for me just now, and I'm very full."
