Mr. Feng's sickly daily life

Chapter 99 No way to be indifferent to him

After saying that, he turned around and went home, closing the door with a "boom", without giving her a chance to refuse.

Jiang Yimian looked at the door panel one step away, and blinked blankly.

As a spare tire...

How could he say such words so calmly?

Jiang Yimian tried to imagine the scene when he told Lin Sinan that he wanted to be a spare tire, but just imagining it made his eyes sore and his heart even more sour, as if he had turned into a lemon tree.

She didn't know how Feng Beiting said these words, but what she knew was that he was very cunning.

Because of him like this, she couldn't be indifferent to him...

When I went to visit Mrs. Payne and her husband with Liang Qiu, they happened to be at home.

It was nine o'clock in the morning, and the sun was pouring down the ground.

There is a group of fabric sofas in the living room, and several oil paintings with fresh colors hang on the background wall.

There are many sets of cabinets in the room, and every empty space is filled to the brim. It is crowded but not cramped, full of the life atmosphere of the elderly.

There are flower pots at the corners where each space connects, full of greenery, and a few pots of flowers are very beautiful.

There are two rocking chairs on the balcony, and a set of tea sets on the small bamboo table in the middle, with a cup of tea on the left and right sides, steaming.

Mr. Payne sat in one of the rocking chairs, and Mrs. Payne came and opened the door for them.

Apparently before they came, the old couple had been enjoying tea in the sun.

"Oh! Cute girl, it's you!" Seeing Jiang Yimian, Mrs. Payne was very happy, the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes deepened a little, "Come in and sit down."

"excuse me."

Jiang Yimian nodded with a smile, and greeted with dimples and smile lines on Mrs. Payne's face.

The old people all like a little girl like her, full of youthful vigor, cute and playful, beautiful without any aggressiveness, as if her personality is so peaceful.

"Mrs. Payne, this is my teacher. In fact, he is here to see you and your husband today."

Liang Qiu stepped forward and stretched out his hand, "Hello."

"Hello." Mrs. Payne looked at him twice, "What's the matter?"

"I want to ask you about someone."

"Ask me?" Mrs. Payne expressed surprise, "Who?"

Liang Qiu took out a well-preserved photo from his arms, and when he handed it to Mrs. Payne, his eyes were full of anticipation, "Liang Xi, she is my daughter."

Mrs. Payne was so shocked that she even forgot to take the picture.

She fixedly looked at the black-haired oriental girl in a white dress in the photo, her eyes flickering fiercely.

clang-

Suddenly there was the sound of something heavy falling to the ground.

Jiang Yimian followed the prestige, and saw that Mr. Payne was leaning on a cane with one hand, and the other hand was hanging in front of him. The teapot in his hand fell to the ground, and the tea was spilled all over the floor.

But he didn't seem to notice it, and stared at the photo in Liang Qiu's hand intently.

Seeing this, Jiang Yimian and Liang Qiu looked at each other, their eyes became brighter.

"Mrs. Payne, from the reactions of you and Mr. Payne, you really know this girl, right?"

Snatching the photo, Mrs. Payne's eyes were full of water vapor. She stuck the photo to her heart and stroked it gently like a baby, "Not only did we know each other, we were once the closest people in this world."

"Then do you know where she is now?!"

"...just in Los Angeles." Mrs. Payne choked up for a moment, and her eyes that were not clear at first became cloudier, "She married a doctor."

"What's the doctor's name?"

"Dawson, Colby Dawson."

This time, Jiang Yimian and Liang Qiu were shocked.

Doctor Colby!

They went around for so long, but they didn't expect that the person they were looking for was always by their side!
"Master, please contact Dr. Colby."

"Yes! Yes! Yes!" Liang Qiu was so excited that he could only say this word. When he took the phone to call Dr. Colby, his hands were shaking, and he had to draw the unlock pattern twice.

Finally found his daughter, he couldn't care about anything for a while, stood up while holding the phone and walked out, tears even rolled in his eyes, "Xiao Mian..."

"Master, go there first." She wanted to know more about sister Liang Xi from Mrs. Payne.

"Ah."

After Liang Qiu finished speaking, he went out, and even forgot to say goodbye to Mrs. Payne and her husband, let alone say thank you.

He is now only anxious to see his daughter, and everything else has to be put on the back burner.

Watching Liang Qiu leave, Jiang Yimian smiled apologetically at Mrs. Payne, "Sorry, my master is too excited, I hope you can understand."

"……it does not matter."

"Would it be convenient for you to tell me how Liang Xi was adopted in the first place?"

"So that's how her Chinese name is..." Mrs. Payne raised her lips silently, but that smile was heart-rending.

Mr. Payne sat down beside her and sighed heavily.

"Let me talk." His voice was very deep, not as full of joy as what Jiang Yimian heard in the previous meeting.

then--

When Mr. Payne was still young, he used to travel between ZM and M to do some deeds.

Mrs Payne was in poor health and they had never had a child.

Originally planned to adopt one, but happened to meet Liang Xi who was a baby at that time.

He bought her from a trafficker, made a fake adoption certificate, and brought her home smoothly.

From then on, they raised Liang Xi as their own daughter.

They were supposed to be a happy family, but as Liang Xi grew up and her appearance became more and more outstanding, a big brother that Mr. Payne used to follow wanted to drag her into the night show.

Of course they disagree, but they have no ability to resist.

Misfortunes never come singly, but at that time, Mr. Payne suffered another health problem and urgently needed a large sum of money for surgery.

In desperation, they accepted the money given by the elder brother.

But when the matter came to an end, Mrs. Payne still regretted it. She asked them to pick up Liang Xi only after Mr. Payne finished the operation, and the other party agreed without the slightest hesitation.

Maybe it was because the elder brother didn't take that little time seriously, or maybe he was sure that the Paynes didn't have the guts to play tricks.

But it turned out that Mrs. Payne secretly contacted a private detective and asked him to secretly investigate Liang Xi's life experience.

The trafficker who sold Liang Xi back then seemed eager to make a move. Mr. Payne inquired more carefully, and vaguely heard that there was a big search and arrest in City A, but he was already on the return route at that time.

With such information, it is much easier for private detectives to find Liang Xi's parents than Liang Qiu to find her.

Later, they fled all over the world to avoid that big brother's revenge. They didn't dare to return to country M until the man died, but they didn't dare to return to Chicago.

They settled in Los Angeles.

Mr. Payne's heart is not good, and he needs to go to the hospital for regular checkups, which happens to be Dr. Colby's hospital.

By chance, they ran into a woman driving to the hospital to pick him up, and that person was Liang Xi!
But they didn't dare to go forward to recognize each other, and they always felt ashamed to see the child again.

After that time, the old couple often wandered in front of Dr. Colby's hospital, hoping to see Liang Xi again, but after a long time, Dr. Colby found out.

"He is a very good person. Knowing that we had adopted Flora, he even gave us this house. Flora must be very happy to be with him." Mrs. Payne's face was full of satisfaction, and the tears on her face were not due to regret To shed, or to shed because of rejoicing.

After listening to Mr. Payne's memories, Jiang Yimian's expression was a bit complicated.

On the one hand, they adopted Sister Liang Xi, which was a kind of favor to Master and the entire Liang family.

But on the other hand, they had thought of sacrificing sister Liang Xi to protect themselves, which made Jiang Yimian feel a little uncomfortable.

Fortunately, tragedy did not happen.

but--

I don't know if it's because of her nervousness recently that she tends to think wildly, but she always finds this story weird.

It seems that there is something that does not make sense, and everything seems to make sense, but it is too reasonable and smooth.

"Excuse me, do you have anything else belonging to Sister Liang Xi?"

"have pictures!"

Mrs. Payne took out a very thick photo album from a side bookcase.

Jiang Yimian took it, and opened the first page to see Liang Xi's photo, but it was from infancy, white and tender, with flesh all over her body, one could tell that she was well raised.

All photos are sorted by time.

From infants to toddlers to school days, there are every stage, which is enough to see the intentions of the Payne couple.

Most of the photos in the album were photos of Liang Xi, and there were a few photos of Mrs. Payne and Mr. Payne, but she didn't appear in the photo. Jiang Yimian guessed that maybe she was taking pictures.

Looking through it from beginning to end, Jiang Yimian's eyes became more and more suspicious.

strangeness……

There is not a single photo of Sister Liang Xi and the Payne couple.
