Chapter 169 It's ok, Minghui is fine
Pei Yanning took his people out and considerately closed the door.
Gu Si lowered his eyes to look at Lingxi. Seeing her obviously frightened and disheveled appearance, he felt anxious and angry.
He felt sorry for Lingxi ruining her body, but seeing her like this he couldn't say a single harsh word to her, and now was not the time to talk.
He wanted to let the person go, but Lingxi looked at him eagerly, holding his clothes tightly in her hands and refusing to let go.
"Be good, I'll get you clothes. I'm not going anywhere. I need to change my clothes too." Gu Si coaxed her, and what he said was true.
He rushed here overnight and hadn't changed his clothes for the past few days. If it weren't for special circumstances, he wouldn't have touched Lingxi under such circumstances.
Lingxi looked at him again, as if to confirm whether Gu Si was lying to her. His expression was gentle and he had a familiar smile on his face, so Lingxi let go of his hand.
But my eyes still followed him.
Gu Si first changed himself into clean clothes, then he wet a hot towel to wipe her, and then changed her into clean clothes.
After Lingxi changed her clothes, she pulled Gu Si's clothes, snuggled into his arms, and held his waist tightly.
Tired, sleepy, sleepy...
Lingxi was completely relieved and at ease, feeling that she didn't need to worry about anything anymore. All her fatigue swept over her in an instant. She closed her eyes obediently, not even wanting to waste the energy to speak.
Soon, her breathing became even.
Gu Si rubbed her back to comfort her.
It was only at this time that Gu Si had time to look at other things.
In the room, both pillows had dents, which showed that someone had slept here before. It couldn't have been Pei Yaning, and it was also impossible that Minghui was too young and didn't sleep well.
It can only be the old lady...
There were water stains on the inside of the bed and on the white walls.
It was obviously Lingxi who got it on there just now.
He gently stroked Lingxi's neck, his mind filled with Lingxi's frightened pulse and the storm brewing in her eyes.
But, it was suppressed in the end.
Pei Yaning and Gu Si didn't know what kind of shock Lingxi had received, but what was the same between Gu Si and Pei Yaning was that they both knew that this might be related to the old lady, or maybe it was just some kind of accident that no one wanted to happen.
But, no matter what, they couldn't let Lingxi and the old lady be alone together again.
When Gu Si was distracted, Pei Yanning's mental power had already enveloped him.
Gu Si had naturally noticed it, but he knew very well that Pei Yanning was just as worried as he was, so he didn't say anything, and the father-in-law and son-in-law just stayed quiet.
Lingxi also felt something vaguely and slept more soundly.
The clock ticked, time passed by minute by minute, Pei Yanning sat on the sofa in the living room, under the dim light, he half-hidden in the darkness with his eyes lowered, his thoughts drifting away.
Soon, there was a rustling sound. Pei Yanning looked up and saw that his bedroom door was slightly opened and a little head poked out.
It’s little Minghui!
Minghui was stunned when he saw Pei Yanning sitting on the sofa.
"Want to release the water?" Pei Yanning asked.
Little Minghui paused, and suddenly seemed to think of something, nodding his head: "Fourth Grandpa, can you take me there? I want to go to the one outside."
Pei Yanning nodded and went out with Minghui.
Minghui's voice just now was quite loud, and he knew Gu Si could hear it, so he didn't say hello to him.
Pei Yanning did not think much about it. However, when Minghui went out and walked into the corridor, he did not leave. Instead, he turned his head and looked around, and seemed to be a little sneaky. It seemed that after making sure that there was no one else, Minghui lowered his voice and whispered, "Fourth Grandpa, can you take us home?"
Pei Yanning paused. Although he thought so, he didn't expect Minghui to say so.
He collected his thoughts and looked at Minghui with a smile: "What's wrong? Are you not having fun here? I see you are having a good time in the factory!"
Little Minghui paused and nodded.
"I miss home and don't want to be here anymore."
Pei Yanning rubbed his head and said with a smile: "What if Fourth Grandfather doesn't want Minghui to go back?"
Minghui became anxious instantly.
Thinking of her little aunt who had always loved her and was always smiling, but now she was crying, Minghui was about to cry.
Seeing that Pei Yanning refused to give in, he pursed his lips and pulled Pei Yanning to the basketball court outside. There was a circle of chairs around the basketball court, and the surroundings were empty. If someone approached, they would be seen at a glance.
He was sure that this was the safest place his father and grandfather taught him to tell secrets, and that there was no one around. He was sure that no matter what he said, no one would hear him. Only then did he let his tears fall.
"Minghui is not a good child..."
Pei Yanning looked a little surprised.
Minghui started talking and didn’t intend to stop: “Minghui failed to take good care of my aunt.
The little aunt is tired of cooking, tired of looking for things, tired of playing with Minghui, so tired.
My aunt wants to sleep very much in the morning, but as soon as you leave, she gets up to cook. As soon as she falls asleep, my grandmother calls her to get up and eat, and makes her look for something and has no time to sleep.
My aunt couldn't stand steadily and fell down several times, and she vomited for a long time every day..."
Minghui's voice was filled with tears.
"Minghui is not a good kid for complaining. Minghui is bad. Grandma is good, especially good. She cooks for him, washes dishes, and cleans the house. But little aunt doesn't like the food and feels uncomfortable..."
He had never seen his aunt like that before. She looked like she could faint and fall to the ground at any time. He also knew that his great-grandmother loved his aunt the most, but his aunt was tired!
Minghui didn’t know what happened at night, but he saw his aunt crying.
He doesn't know what to do?
I just thought, would it be enough for him and grandma to just go home?
What Minghui said didn't make sense, but Pei Yanning understood it.
I was so angry that I didn't know who to blame.
Pei Yanning lowered his eyes and punched the bricks and stones of the garden next to him. The skin on the back of his hand was immediately broken and bleeding.
Minghui was so frightened that she forgot to cry. She looked at Pei Yanning in disbelief with eyes wide open.
But when he saw Minghui like this, he steadied his breathing and comforted him: "It's okay, Minghui is fine, I have to thank our Minghui, our Minghui did nothing wrong.
And Minghui is very smart.
We know that this kind of thing cannot be said in front of other people, but we can say it quietly to our own family. Minghui is not complaining, but is just caring about his aunt, and he is still a good child.
Your aunt must be very happy to know that our Minghui loves her."
Children are really easy to coax.
Minghui's eyes sparkled when he heard Pei Yanning say that, but he still felt that it was not a good idea to complain. He also felt that he could have told her earlier so that his aunt would not be so tired. He quickly lowered his head and looked a little regretful...
Pei Yanning tried hard to soften his expression.
"Your grandmother...
Maybe he was sick and his eyesight was not good, so he didn't notice that your aunt was not feeling well."
Pei Yanning didn’t know what was wrong with the old lady, but he still had to say this in front of the younger generation.
And what scared Lingxi tonight...
Under the cold moonlight, Pei Yanning's eyes flickered.
