"Your father was not only good at doing housework, but he was also good at doing business. Your father used all his savings to buy three apartments. We could live very well with the rent. Although the rent was not high at that time, the consumption was very low. A few hundred yuan was enough for us to spend for a month."
Chu Yunxiu's eyes became misty. "You were just born at that time. Your father wanted to stay at home to take care of us, but I wanted to live a better life, so I forced him to go out and make more money. I didn't consider your father's mood at all. He spoiled me so much. Even if he was unwilling to leave us, he still went to the border of southern Yunnan to sell jade, but he never came back."
Speaking of this, Chu Yunxiu burst into tears. "It's all my fault. I'm too selfish and willful. Otherwise, your father wouldn't have disappeared, and you wouldn't have grown up without a father. Boohoo, it's all my fault. I shouldn't have forced your father to do business … boohoo …"
"Mom, don't cry, okay? I don't blame you. Since Dad doesn't want to leave us, if he is safe, he will definitely come back to find us. But he hasn't come back yet. Why are you so sure that Dad is not dead?"
Ling Yun asked softly, her eyes red. She wiped Chu Yunxiu's tears.
Chu Yunxiu choked and said, "After your father disappeared, I also thought he was dead. Even the Public Security Bureau gave me a death certificate. In fact, I found out that your father was still alive a long time ago, because I often woke up in the middle of the night and saw your father standing outside the window looking at me. But when I went out to find him, he had already left."
Ling Yun opened her mouth wide in amazement and said incredulously, "Mom, did you miss Dad so much that you had an illusion?"
"It can't be an illusion. I saw him more than once, but he never showed his face to me. As long as I found him and chased after him, he would leave immediately. I couldn't catch up with him no matter how hard I tried."
Chu Yunxiu said excitedly, "I also thought that I missed your father so much that I had an illusion. But I was not reconciled, so I secretly installed a camera outside my room. Although he wore a hat every time and I couldn't get a full picture of his face, how could I not recognize his figure and back."
Speaking of this, Chu Yunxiu took out a USB flash drive, installed it on the computer, and opened the file. Her face flushed with excitement. "Look, this is your father."
Ling Yun stared at the screen, dumbfounded. A man wearing a hat and a mask was standing outside her window in the middle of the night, looking into her house quietly. He was as still as a statue.
On the screen, the lights in Chu Yunxiu's room suddenly turned on, and the man immediately turned to leave. By the time Chu Yunxiu came out, she could no longer see him.
Thinking that there was such a man who often quietly stood outside her window in the middle of the night, she felt her blood run cold.
He said with a serious face, "Mom, are you sure this is my father? Could it be that someone wants to harm us? "
After all, although Chu Yunxiu was in her forties, she was still glamorous. She was also a widow, so it wasn't unusual for some psychopaths to peep at her at night.
"No, that's definitely your father. Although I don't know why he didn't want to see us, I'm sure it's him."
Chu Yunxiu said with certainty.
It seemed that her mother missed her father so much that she regarded a perverted voyeur as her father.
Ling Yun secretly made up her mind that she must catch this perverted voyeur and put an end to her mother's paranoia. Otherwise, she didn't know if her mother would become a psychopath.
She frowned and asked carefully, "Mom, has this man appeared many times?"
"What do you mean by this man? This is your father."
Chu Yunxiu rolled her eyes at her reproachfully. She stretched out her white fingers and foolishly stroked the face of the man on the computer screen, as if she was caressing the skin of her lover. "Your father must have something difficult to say. That's why he never met us. Many times, I could feel that he was behind me to protect me, but I couldn't find him no matter how hard I tried."
"It's over. My mother must be possessed. This matter must be solved quickly." With her eyes flashing, Ling Yun asked cautiously, "How often does he come?"
"Since you went to school and lived in the school, about three years ago, I first found your father, but unfortunately, the time of his appearance has never been regular. Sometimes he will come several times a year, and sometimes he will come only once in two years. There is no exact time. Otherwise, I must stop him and ask him what difficulties he has."
Chu Yunxiu looked at the time recorded by the camera and replied. But soon, she raised her eyebrows and said excitedly, "But when I went to negotiate with the development company today, I felt that he was behind me to protect me, so I was not afraid at all when I negotiated."
Ling Yun's heart suddenly froze. "Oh, no, that pervert has now developed to the point of following my mother in the daytime. Is he going to make a move?"
She immediately stood up and stretched to change her clothes. "Mom, I'm going to change my clothes and take over."
"Work? Aren't you on the night shift? It's only the middle of the afternoon. Why do you take over? "Chu Yunxiu put away the USB disk carefully and seemed to have regarded it as her spiritual sustenance.
This made Ling Yun more determined to catch the perverted voyeur as soon as possible. If it went on like this, even if his mother didn't miss him so much that she became ill, she would be tortured into a mental disorder.
"Oh, Sister Li has something to do at home in the evening. She has to leave a little earlier. I'll take over her shift in advance."
"Sister Li? Is it the nurse who looks like a man and has bad breath? Did she bully you again? Why does she let you take over her shift for no reason? I tell you, a kind person will be bullied. Don't appear to be a yes-man. If she thinks you are easy to bully, she will eat you for a lifetime. "
Chu Yunxiu raised her head and looked at Ling Yun vigilantly. She began to teach tirelessly.
"It's nothing. Since her illness was cured by Ding Ning, she has improved a lot. Now she is very good to me …"
Ling Yun explained subconsciously, but she was shocked to feel the cold eyes behind her. She stuck out her tongue, grabbed Chu Yunxiu's arm and said coquettishly,
"It's not what you think. Something happened to Ding Ning a few days ago. He happened to be hospitalized in our hospital. He happened to meet me and Sister Li, so he treated Sister Li by the way."
"Ding Ning is hospitalized? What happened? No wonder I haven't seen him come back these days. I thought he went back to his hometown. "
Chu Yunxiu asked in surprise.
"He is fine. Now he is living in the VIP ward. I don't know how happy he is. Mom, I know you have a soft heart but a sharp tongue. In fact, you still care about him very much, don't you?"
Ling Yun released her mother's arm with a smile and continued to change clothes.
"Humph, I don't care about him. I care about my rent. When you see him, tell him that his rent is seven days late. If he doesn't pay it, he can get out of here. I can rent it to others and get more rent."
Chu Yunxiu said angrily, "And, don't blame me for not reminding you. You should have less contact with Ding Ning in the future. If you dare to make friends with him, don't recognize me as your mother."
"Mom, what are you talking about? How did Ding Ning offend you? Everyone in the community likes him. Only you find him unpleasant all the time. "
Ling Yun pouted and shouted discontentedly while putting on her clothes.
"This child is good, but you have to remember that you are a native of Ninghai. No matter how bad we are, we have four houses in our hands. We can sell them for 20 or 30 million easily. What does Ding Ning have? He doesn't have a mother, and his father is a butcher. Most importantly, he's not a local. What Luochuan Town? I've never even heard of it. He might be in some remote village. He doesn't have anything he wants. How could he marry you? "
Seeing Ling Yun's indifferent look, Chu Yunxiu knew that she did not listen to her at all. She persuaded her earnestly, "You are so beautiful and a native. You can casually call someone and the person who comes to propose marriage can trample on the threshold of our family. What can't you find …"
"Enough, native, native. You only know the native. Why don't I think the native is so great?"
Ling Yun impatiently covered her ears. "I am an adult. I know what I want. Can you not interfere in my life?"
"I interfere in your life? I am teaching you with my life experience so that you don't take detours. Look at your attitude! What's wrong with the native? The native is great. Ninghai is a first-tier city. Many people try their best to come here. They want to live in Ninghai but can't. What's so good about Ding Ning? He has no money, no house, no car, and even no job. If you are together, how can he support you? "
Chu Yunxiu's voice suddenly rose and she scolded with disappointment.
Ling Yun stubbornly stared at her. "Don't look down on me. Ding Ning is a capable person. If he wants to make money, it is very easy for him to do so with his medical skills. He saved a rich girl a few days ago. She offered him a reward of several million, but he was unwilling to accept it."
"Humph, you can brag for him. He is a poor student who can't even find a job. A reward of several million? Who is he kidding?"
Chu Yunxiu disdainfully crossed her arms and sneered. "If he is really capable, he will buy an apartment in Ninghai for you. It doesn't need to be too big. Two hundred square meters will do. But it must be within the Second Ring Road. Your name must be written on the property ownership certificate. As long as he can do it, I will marry you without hesitation."
"You … you are crazy. I don't want to talk to you."
Ling Yun almost fainted because of her mother's anger. Each square meter of the house within the Second Ring Road was no less than one hundred thousand yuan. Two hundred square meters would cost twenty million yuan. Even if she had confidence in Ding Ning, she didn't think he could earn twenty million yuan.
What's more, her name must be written on the property ownership certificate. No one would agree to it.
"If he can't do it, it means he doesn't have the ability. If he is unwilling to write your name on the property ownership certificate, it means he doesn't love you enough. Why do you still like such a person? So you'd better stay away from him as soon as possible. You are twenty-one years old this year. It's time for you to make friends. After two years of dating, you can get married. Leave it to me. I will contact my sisters. I will help you find a good man who is handsome, rich and loves you. "
Chu Yunxiu said earnestly, "When that time comes, you'll know that some people are destined to be passers-by in your life. When you find your own happiness, you'll find that it's just a budding puberty. It's nothing."
"You … are really unreasonable. I will not go on a blind date. Don't give me a reason to run away from home. I am going to work!"
Ling Yun rolled her eyes, put on her shoes irritably, and closed the door with a bang. She sighed helplessly. Having such a weird mother, she was also speechless.
Looking at the closed door, Chu Yunxiu shook her head helplessly. It was true that a grown girl could not be kept at home. But she could not be capricious when it came to marriage.
The blind date plan must be started immediately. She immediately picked up her mobile phone and dialed a number. As soon as the phone was connected, she had a smile on her face. "Sister Wang? I am Yunxiu. I want to tell you something. I heard that you have a nephew who just came back from studying abroad, right? "
