Chapter Twenty: Indistinguishable
At that time, a middle-aged man who had just finished work online was walking in the corridor. Seeing the two blocking the way, he frowned and Lin Miao quickly took out the key to open the door, and his drunk father immediately pulled Liu Yifei inside.
"Uncle Lin, I and Lin Xiao are just friends, don't get me wrong. As soon as the door was closed, Liu Yifei immediately explained."
"Sister? Jin Lin's father gave Liu Yifei a sidelong glance, then with a flick of his arm, pushed Liu Yifei into the bedroom. The force was not small."
"Dad, what are you doing? Liu Yifei is my good friend! He's still a high school student, don't scare him to death!" At this time, Zhang Linmeng rushed into the bedroom in a hurry and supported Liu Yifei.
"High school student? Lin Heng's father looked at Liu Yifei with a slanted gaze, feeling that Liu Yifei was not very old. He then glared and said: "You're so big, why are you hanging out with a little kid? Hurry up and let him leave! I'm getting annoyed just looking at him."
Just dragged Liu Yifei in and drove him away in the blink of an eye, Jin Linmiao's father changed his mind quickly.
Liu Yifei furrowed her brow, thinking that Lin Huan was such a lovely and innocent girl, yet she had such an annoying father, no wonder she wanted to rent a house alone outside.
"Get out of here quickly, Liu Yifei!" Qi Honglin pushed Liu Yifei to leave in a hurry, his expression extremely anxious.
This made Liu Yifei feel very uneasy, that was Lin Miao's father, why was she so afraid?
"The dishes are back, aren't they great? We're living a pretty good life, and there's roasted chicken too. At this time, Lin Nian's father had already taken the several bags that Lin Nian was carrying, and after taking out a roasted chicken, he tore off a big leg and started devouring it. Then he yelled at Lin Nian: "Hurry up and go buy some wine for me, it's been so long, I don't even know how to show filial piety to your old man, I've really wasted my efforts raising you this big."
"You wait here for a moment, I'll go buy some wine right away." With that, Lin Miao responded with a "mm-hm" and dragged Liu Yifei out of the bedroom in a manner that resembled fleeing.
After closing the door, Lin Miao finally let out a sigh of relief and looked at Liu Yifei with a hint of guilt: "Yifei, I'm really sorry about this. My dad..." "Hmph, didn't scare you, did it?"
"Hmm, it's nothing, Uncle Lin," Liu Yifei was about to say something but stopped.
Lin Huan let out a long sigh and walked silently with Liu Yifei for a distance before saying, "He's just an alcoholic who gets drunk every day and then beats me and my mom. My mom was even driven to death by him. I ran away from home to escape him, but somehow he still found me."
Looking at Lin Miao's pitiful appearance, Jin Liu Yifei felt a sharp pain in her heart. No wonder in her previous life, Liu Yifei asked Lin Miao about his family matters, but he didn't want to mention it. Having such a father, Jin really had no face to speak of. Jin stretched out her arm and hugged Lin Miao tightly, saying: "Don't be afraid, I'm here. We'll face it together."
Lin Huan's head tilted to one side, and he leaned weakly on Liu Yifei's shoulder, letting out a sigh as he said: "How can I face him? He's my dad. All I can do is go along with him or run away gradually. It seems like I'll have to move again."
"You can't keep avoiding him, it's not a solution. Liu Yifei also felt that this matter was very tricky. Even if he had the golden finger of rebirth, he couldn't easily intervene in such family affairs as an outsider."
"What's the point of hiding? He'll definitely come here every other day to pester me, that Jin. Ugh"
Liu Yifei furrowed her brow, suddenly thinking of a question. If Lin Miao moved away because her father found her, then in the previous life she should have also moved away. But at that time, she was still living in Yunli Jin's house. There must be a reason for this. Either it was because of her own rebirth and the impact it caused, allowing her father to find her earlier than expected. Or else, what method did she use to appease her father?
"Your father is looking for you, does he have any requests?" Liu Yifei asked tentatively.
"He" Ning Linmiao sneered and said, "What else can he do? He just comes to me for money. If I give him money, he'll leave me alone; if not, he'll definitely come to pester me every other day.
Liu Yifei secretly sighed in his heart, thinking that he had seen many parents who relied on their children to make a living. It was rare to see someone who only knew how to drink and not work hard. If anyone had such parents, it would be painful to death. However, at this time, he didn't want to add more mental burden to Lin Miao, so he smiled slightly and said: "If he wants money, just give it to him. We're not short of money now."
"Give him money? That's your money, I won't give it to him." Jin Lin Meng immediately shook his head in refusal.
"Stupid girl, my money isn't yours? Humph! You're still being polite? Jin, no matter what he says, he's still your father, he gave birth to you. That's a great blessing, even if he's not good, he's still your father. Let's just give him some money and let him live a good life. Because of rebirth, Liu Yifei's feelings towards his parents are much deeper than before, so he cherishes the time spent with them more. Therefore, even if Lin Miao's father is not good, he still thinks he should help him instead of abandoning him."
Lin Xiao turned his head to look at Liu Yifei's grateful expression, but still shook his head and said: "Fang Er, you know that he is a greedy person who can't get enough. You gave him money today, he will go back to Hangzhou tomorrow, then gamble it away, and in just a few days, the money will be gone, no matter how much more you give him, it's like pouring water into a bottomless pit."
This is quite troublesome. Liu Yifei was at a loss for what to do, but after thinking about it, he said: "Let's just give him some money first and comfort him a bit." However, make it seem like it's being done reluctantly. This way, we can also somewhat comfort him.
"This," Lin Miao looked at Liu Yifei with some hesitation, "is quite a lot of money."
Liu Yifei forcefully patted Lin Miao's shoulder, his face stern. "Didn't I just say that? My money is your money, how many times do you want me to repeat it?"
Lin Xiao tilted her head and stared blankly at Liu Yifei, whose eyes turned red, then softly said: "Yifei", thank you for understanding.
"Don't say thank you, it's settled then. Uncle Lin won't be staying at your place tonight, will he? Even if he is Lin Miao's real father, just thinking about his drunk appearance makes Jin Liu Yi Fei feel uncomfortable, let alone sleeping in Lin Miao's bed."
"He won't give him money, he will definitely hurry back to gamble"
"That's great." Liu Yifei subconsciously picked up a sentence.
Lin Hui nodded and didn't think much of it. Jin took out a deposit slip from his pocket and said, "Today we sold three items, all for 1,000 yuan each, totaling 3,000 yuan, which I've deposited into the account."
"Put it away, we'll need to use this money for turnover. Today, you actually sold three pieces of gold! You really have achieved something! Lin Miao couldn't help but praise Liu Yifei first, then seriously said: "Do you have cash on hand now? Remember my words, don't be so stingy with me, or I'll really get angry."
"Hmm, I have enough money in my hand to give him. Suddenly, Hong Linmiao finally revealed a smile."
The two of them had already walked to the small shop, Jin Linmiao bought two bottles of beer and then said to Liu Yifei: "You go back to school, I'll get rid of him in a bit."
"Alright, you can go now." With that, Liu Yifei nodded and watched as Lin Huan returned to her home.
Liu Yifei didn't leave, but instead sat on a small stone bench not far from the front of the building, staring at Lin Miao's home. If Lin Miao's father didn't come out, then he would have to think of a way to take Lin Miao away.
But Lin Miao's words were indeed accurate, and in just over 20 minutes, Lin Miao's father hurried out with a joyful expression on his face. Lin Miao chased after him, shouting: "Be more frugal and stop going to gamble all the time!"
"Alright, alright, stop nagging. You're still so talkative. Lin Miao's father waved his hand impatiently and hummed a tune as he walked out to hail a taxi."
As Lin Miao returned home, Jin Liu thought of going in to comfort her. However, just as he took a step forward, he suddenly felt two gazes staring at him. Subconsciously, he turned his head and saw a figure hiding behind the shadow of a tree. Curious, he walked over.
But before he could even get to the back of the tree, a figure had already jumped out and was smiling at Liu Yifei saying: "I'm not stalking you, I just happened to be visiting my classmate's house nearby and saw you on my way back."
Liu Yifei did not expect to see Chu Ming here, the girl in front of him was wearing a pure white sportswear, still with that signature smile, hands behind her back and chest out, looking at him with a bright smile.
"What are you hiding for? Boom! Liu Yifei had no bad feelings towards this bold girl, and a smile was also hanging on his face."
Chu Ming smiled and looked at Liu Yifei: "I feel that you are very strange, sitting here staring blankly. I just want to see what's going on with you? Don't tell me, are you secretly in love with the older sister who just came out? It seems like many boys like older sisters, and that sister looks very beautiful."
"What are you talking about, Nian Jin? That's my cousin. Luckily, Liu Yifei didn't see him hugging Lin Xiao when he raised an eyebrow, or else who knows what would have happened."
"Eldest sister? " Chu Mei blinked her eyes and said with a smile: "Then why don't you go in?" Boom!
"What's with you being so nosy? Liu Yifei knew that Chu Ming was here, and he didn't need to go to Lin Miao's house anymore. With a loud noise, he turned around and walked towards the school."
"Hehe, Jin, I'm going to chase you! Of course, I need to know your situation first. Otherwise, how can I chase you? Chu Ming caught up with two steps, and Jin walked side by side with Liu Yifei, a sweet smile hanging on his face."
"Alright, you've caught up" Liu Yifei stopped in her tracks and laughed, shaking her head.
"You're a sly one. You know I didn't mean it that way." Chu Meng laughed out loud.
Two people were chatting when suddenly Liu Bo's figure appeared in front of them. This little guy first looked at the two with a ambiguous gaze, then smiled and said: "One flying, this weekend, don't forget to go to Qingnian Lake Park."
Lin Cang's eyes lit up with gold, while Liu Yifei secretly cursed, "Damn it!" Lin didn't know if he would make the water of Qingnian Lake acidic this weekend. Chapter 20: Indistinguishable
