Chapter 228: From Disappointment to Slow Despair
In front of him or wooden coffee table. It could be seen that they were all worth a lot of money and very suitable for conversation.
Li Ting wanted to come for a while, so she stepped aside and invited a few policemen to go over and sit down.
"Mom." As soon as a few people sat down, a little girl with a powdered face ran out from one of the rooms, under the curved crescent moon eyebrows were watery eyes, a small but straight nose, and her reddish little mouth was slightly pouting, only to see her milky voice screaming, "Mommy, look at my brother, he bullied me, and even tore down my little castle."
It turned out that the girl came to complain, the small castle is she with blocks one by one slowly built out, can work hard, tired of her sweat, her upper body are stinky, but brother is not satisfied, said to do more beautiful, and immediately pushed down her hard work to make a good little castle.
When the girl said this, she gently tutted her mouth, not like she was complaining but like her mother was pouting.
Li Ting listened to her daughter's words, her eyes all of a sudden gentle down, gently touch her daughter's small forehead, said: "Good boy, brother brother how to bully you, mom to help you talk about him ah, do not be angry Oh, angry children are not cute." After saying this, he also favored and scraped his daughter's small nose.
"Mom." At this time a boy slightly older than the girl stomped out of the room and immediately pounced on Li Ting.
"Baby why are you bullying your sister again, you're not good oh!" Although Li Ting's words were a reproach, there was no hint of anger, instead they were very gentle.
"I didn't, it's my sister who is too stupid, the castle ride is ugly." The boy wrinkled his little nose and said.
"Then you are the older brother, you have to give in to your sister and protect her well!" Li Ting gently coaxed the two children.
The boy looked very understanding, listened to his mother's words and nodded his head, holding out his small chest and said, "Uh-huh, I want to grow strong and sturdy, and I want to protect my sister, and my mother in the future."
Liu Wan Yan several people looked at this cozy scene, do not feel feel that Li Ting is very loving their children, and mother and son, mother and daughter feelings between them are also very good, but this problem comes.
Li Ting since so much love for the children, and how would divorce her husband, to know that many women, although the marriage is not happy or painful, but in order to small children can have a sound home, and then unhappy will also bitterly insist.
Li Ting also seems to be a good mother, coaxing the child attitude is also very gentle, can see that she is very much in love with the two children, but what is the reason for her divorce? This point Liu Wan Yan several people and the police are very interested in understanding.
"You love your children very much, your family's relationship should be very good!" Liu Wan Diem suddenly asked.
Only then did the two little children notice that there was someone in the house, and their little paws tugged on their mother's coat and asked:
"Mom, who is this?"
"We are police uncles." Without waiting for Li Ting to answer, the short policeman said with a smile.
"Police uncles? Are you guys here to catch bad guys?" The girl raised her red little face and said, "But there are no bad people in our house, we are all good people!"
"We are here to ask your mom some questions." Hearing such cute childish words from the little kid, the short man replied with a smile.
"Oh, so ah, then you guys ask." After saying that, she twisted her head over and shook her mom's hand, "Mom, why doesn't dad come to play with us lately? Good boy and brother miss daddy so much." There was petulance in these words, and the little boy on the side also nodded his head repeatedly, saying that he also misses his dad.
Hearing this, Li Ting's face blanched and her eyes flickered slightly as she stroked the two human children's heads and said, "Daddy is very, very busy and doesn't have time to come over, so you guys have to play by yourselves."
After saying this, the group looked at her, in the end, she loves children, so she has not yet told the two children the news of divorce.
Not being able to care about the gazes from across the room, without waiting for the two children to ask anything else, Li Ting smiled and pulled up the two children, coaxing them to go to their room to play.
To the children back to the room Li Ting quietly closed the door, only to come back to the living room to sit, said: "You say, what to ask?" The words resumed their previous coldness.
"I can see that you love your children." Lau Van Diem said.
"That's for sure."
Liu Wan Diem was puzzled, "Let me ask you a question, since you love your child so much, and just now I could hear that the child and the father have a good relationship, in that case why did you divorce? A sound family environment is better for the child's growth, isn't it?"
Li Ting froze when she heard this, a hint of painful color flashed in her eyes, her lips moved slightly, but she held it back and turned her face aside, "This is none of your business!"
Liu Wan Yan did not care, but continued, "You are still a model couple in the eyes of others, so you must be very loving, since you are so loving, why did you separate?"
When Li Ting heard this, her face remained on one side, as if she didn't want everyone to see her expression, and she growled in a low voice, "What do you know?"
Liu Wan Diem shook his head and continued, "We don't know, but the only thing we can be sure of is that you and your children have lost a family member, maybe you don't care, but you will really never see him again."
"Perhaps, but he was no different than dead when he chose to leave us." Lydia turned her head and answered with an agitated look.
"What does that say?" Liu Wan Yan asked.
Li Ting smiled ruefully, with elegance in her words and mesmerized eyes, and said, "Let me tell you a story ……."
This is a story that is so clichéd that it can no longer be clichéd, but it really happened. More than ten years ago, Wei Ligui and Li Ting were two students of a famous university in the city, one is an excellent good student of the chemistry department, one is a famous talent in the art department, which is two irrelevant parallel lines, but met at a party.
And in everyone's eyes, one will only be busy in the laboratory, but a whole day in the music room to talk about the piano, one only knows Avogadro, a hand holding is the two people, out of everyone's expectations, they fell in love, and soon love to death, as if the eyes inside in addition to each other there is no one else.
They are like all couples, they agreed to get married as soon as they graduate, even if there is not much money, but also to try to build a small home belonging to them, so they love is four years until the university graduation, the boy decided to employment in the city, while the girl was accidental end of the outstanding performance by the tutor, was invited to go abroad to further study for three years.
At this time, the problem came, the girl is considering whether to leave the love of 3 years to go to a foreign country, after all, that the fashion capital is also the most famous art capital, where she can have the achievement of all the dreams from childhood, but she also love the boy, want to realize their original wish – to build a small home.
The boy knows the girl's difficulties, but quietly choose not to bother her, he loves her, not willing to separate from her, thinking that the two can from now on no longer separate, he wants to wake up every day, the first eye can see her, he wants to share the joys and sorrows of the day with her, he wants to …… but these are his dreams, but should not be a barrier to the girl's burden, he decided to leave the decision to the boy, and want to realize their original wish – to build a small home. Burden, he decided to leave the decision to the girl, he loved her, loved her enough to be able to respect her every decision.
Just when the girl was in a dilemma, God seemed to help her make a decision, so that she decided to stay, for their love to stay, for their little family to stay, because – she was pregnant.
After knowing the news that the girl stayed, the boy was very happy, on the one hand because the girl could not fulfill the dream and feel heartbroken, on the other hand, secretly happy in the girl's heart his position is so important, especially after learning that the girl is pregnant, the boy is even more ecstatic, not only does he have the girl, but also will soon have them to witness the most precious memento of their most precious.
When learning that the girl is pregnant, the boy face ecstasy hugged her, even the body are slightly trembling up, he is really very happy, in the happy side of the boy speech are beginning to stutter up, "I …… me, Tingting, you rest assured, I must treat you well, I will listen to you in the future everything. " A man who comes from the science is really not speak too much pleasing sweet words, but after thinking for a while he still firmly said, "Waiting for the future we have money, I must year after year to treat you to go to the place you most want to go. We all go as a family."
This is not very beautiful, very real, but forgive me, the girl is still touched by the eyes slightly red, she suddenly felt that the decision to stay is correct, looking at the boy's face of happiness, that the last bit of regret in the bottom of the heart all disappeared, all turned into a happy chorus of "fool!"
From that after graduation, the boy began to work hard, and the girl because of the relationship between the pregnancy to stay in their rented small rented house to wait for the birth of a baby, although the house is very small, but the girl is still ingenious to make it arranged as a cozy new room in general.
And the boy just heartbroken kissed her, the two embraced tightly in their little home did not speak, but in his heart: he is exhausted, but also want to let the girl live a good life, live in a big house with a bunch of souvenirs of their love.
If Li Ting was given a choice to go back to the past, perhaps Li Ting would still be willing to stay for the boy, stay in the country and his daughter-in-law's life, but she would choose to go back to their poorest time, when they had just graduated, living in a tiny house, in order to save money she and the boy graduated for three whole years have not been down to the pavilion once, not once.
They were very poor in those three years, even buy buns can only buy vegetarian, occasionally the boy will choose not to eat or more than a few mouthfuls of water, to leave the money to the girl to buy some barbecue pork buns or milk, so that when she was pregnant to be able to supplement the nutrients, the girl, although she felt that the boy is very stupid, but very happy, in order to their home, she is willing to keep him together to suffer, together to struggle.
At that time, the boy for the sake of the child's future, in order to choose a comfortable birth environment for the girl, because his mother was not able to go to the hospital to give birth to a hemorrhage and died, his father soon left him far away from his hometown and never came back, as if he was an orphan in the family of the relatives wheeled around to grow up, so he desperately one person to work three jobs, just for the girl to be able to safe delivery, to be able to two people to live together until the gray hairs.
Soon they got a license to give the rest of their lives to each other, and from then on the boy became a man and the girl a woman, working together to run their most cherished marriage.
Their child was born, is a tiger head and brain of the little boy, looking at the face resembles his son, the man happy corner of the eye are overflowing with tears, he then only think his life has been complete, determined to work harder to make money, the family to live a good life.
Soon the man he realized his promise, was engaged in that small company owner he was willing to do progressive, but also hometown, asked him if he would like to share in the expansion of the company, he worked to save good money to become a young partner.
Now he worked harder, almost day and night are running around busy, but also do not forget to often go back to see his wife, the boy's birth seems to begin to bring a steady stream of good luck, his company better and better, although the scale of the small but earned money has been more than ten times more than the last time he succeeded in climbing up to the boss and the position of parity.
Different from other rich people is that, although the man has money has a superior position, treat the woman is still ten years as one day good, and even they gave birth to a daughter, powder carving jade pecking female doll, lovely let people see feel happy.
Women feel that this life has been very successful, and even at the reunion she is the envy of all married and unmarried female students, everyone has praised them as a model couple, she hoped that the days went on like this, never change, as long as this has always been happy and the whole family to live together, she and the man is still as in the school as in love, and even more and more affectionate deeper and deeper.
Of course, if the days really go on like this would be good, the world still has the envy of a family of four, a happy happy family, of course, but also really just if.
A few years have passed, the man's company more and more busy, when the busy schedule he did not forget to take time to spend time with his wife and children, play together, but this time but with the man constantly busy and travel more and more short, gradually the woman also found the problem, but she felt that she should be sympathetic to the man's hard work, so the heart, although not happy, but never declared in the mouth.
She has not changed, she is still a good wife, a happy and contented housewife, a temperament elegant mom.
But the man has changed, this is from when to say it, the woman is not clear, maybe it is a night shift or a business trip, or maybe it is a socializing after a drunkenness, or a sudden unexpected phone call.
One day the woman sent two children to school, then alone at home began to take care of household chores, these jobs she has been doing for several years, from a grain of literature goddess into a whole day with the wood, rice, oil, salt, soy, vinegar and tea for the woman, but she does not feel sad at all, for her to be able to take good care of a happy family is her greatest achievement.
"Ring ring ring ……" the phone rang, the other end came a man and a woman's laughter, the woman's voice she did not recognize, but the man's voice she turned into ashes also recognized, is her lover, her husband, her child's father, she froze for a moment, smiles She froze for a moment and smiled, reassuring herself that maybe she had misheard, maybe it was just someone else calling the wrong number.
At the moment when she was about to hang up the phone, an arrogant but sultry female voice rang out from the other end of the phone, it was a scream that she could not forget even in her lifetime, "I think you heard it just now, right? I'm with Mr. Wei now, we're still a happy couple, you're nothing but a yellow-faced woman who's still at home with him, a free nanny who helped him give birth to his child and also piggybacked on his help, that's all."
"Please do me a favor and give up the spot under your ass, don't take it, how annoying nah, I heard it's your anniversary today, but he's mine tonight, huh?" The words came with a naked braggadocio, and she could almost imagine what an irritating mouthful was on the other end of the phone.
These words exasperated the woman a breath just feel stems in the chest, she tried to restrain the impulse to want to run to the company, try to console themselves perhaps just this woman's wishful thinking, over the years the husband's high price, indeed attracted a lot of flowers, but which one is true, the man loves him so much, and they are such a happy family.
Outside the business of the scene of play is inevitable, some girls in order to material money to make some heartbreaking lack of morality is also there, this kind of phone call she is not not added only the tone is not so arrogant, she consoled herself to listen to her husband how to say, by the anger deceived the rationale.
Slowly she let herself calm down some, began to continue to take care of the housework, the day passed, the woman would like to start preparing dinner as usual, tonight is their wedding anniversary, her husband had said that he would be back for dinner, she deliberately give the child a day of full-time care, in order to have a good time with her husband and her husband in the world of two people.
The man came back, she wanted to set up slippers and towels at the pass as usual, but this time the man didn't change his shoes, but walked in with a diameter, picked up a file and was about to go out, as if he hadn't seen the table full of food in general, if he had looked closely, he would have found that those were all his favorite dishes.
"Where are you going? Aren't you going to eat tonight?" The woman called out to the man.
The man looked at the woman with a hint of avoidance in his eyes, smiled and said, "There's something going on at the company tonight, so I won't be able to accompany you, so why don't you let the baby and the good boy accompany you ah."
The woman looked straight at the man, her heart suddenly surged with a bad feeling, chased after him and asked, "Are you going to accompany her?"
"Her? What do you mean?" The man turned his head.
"Today, the one you were joking with." The woman said simply, but not without staring at the man.
"What joking? Don't get any ideas, no, I had a busy day at the office today." The man said.
The woman laughed sarcastically, her words carried a surprising calmness, "Don't lie to me, be honest with me, that woman you were joking with at the office today, do you love her?"
A trace of surprise flashed across the man's face, and he looked straight at the woman for a while before he said, "You, you know all about it?"
The woman nodded, "Tell me about it."
The man saw that he couldn't cover it up, so he slowly walked over and sat down, and said something that made the woman's heart break the most in her life.
In fact, it is very simple, a new company college students fell in love with their handsome young boss, she advocates the freedom of love, do not care whether people are married or not, only care about love or not, so the boss launched a burst of fierce pursuit of the offensive.
The young boss has his own home, have a lover have children, but these years of dull let him feel life began to boring, the girl strong offensive let him feel both fresh and happy, although refused many times, but the other party has not yet given up, finally in a business trip together after the boss drunkenness had the opportunity to half-push under the achievement of a good thing.
She said afterward that she did not want the boss debt, which makes the boss very touched, think she is very understanding. But such a thing for life gradually flat man is very fresh, so there is the first time, there will be the second third and then countless times, know by this time by his wife found.
"Do you love her?" Li Ting once again asked her husband, her quiet daughter-in-law man shook his head, even if it is to lie to himself, as long as he said no, she believed, as long as he said no, she will forgive him.
But the old man seems to always talk right, men with money become bad.
Unfortunately, the man soon lets him down, and after hesitating for a while, the man actually nods and says something that hurts her to the core, "I love her."
This word, the woman felt her whole world has collapsed, she was buried in a piece of rubble can not get out, the road ahead is not clear, but she still hold back the piercing heartache to ask, "Then how do I do? What about our children?"
The man said, "Let's get a divorce, and the children will all be yours."
The woman could not figure out how the man is so obsessed with the mind, must be for a woman who knows less than a year to destroy their feelings for many years, so hard to fight out of the happy family.
Li Ting insisted on refusing to divorce, she secretly hoped that the man was just a momentary stupor, she hoped that he would come to his senses, and finally choose her and their home, their two babies, rather than that bewitching woman.
But the reality let her disappointment, as time passes the man more and more do not go home, even a week are not home at night, the woman's heart slowly from hope to disappointment, from disappointment and slowly despair.
The last straw that crushed their marriage is that one day the man went home, she was full of joy to meet her, thought she finally waited for the prodigal son to return to the day, she is not just love for the man, there is no substitute for affection, she told herself that the man is just like an occasional playful child, to be played after the certainty of returning home.
However, the first words of the man to enter the door, but, "she is pregnant, let's divorce, I want to give her a home."
"Give her a home." The woman froze, restrained tears, to give the woman a home, but to sacrifice the home they have operated for so many years? They worked so hard for so long, struggled so long, loved so long to exchange the happiness of this lost.
The man promised to leave most of his property to the woman, even though he knew she wanted more than that. Women but wooden did not say a word, she did not know whether to cry or to laugh, to cry because of the betrayal and destroyed the home? Or happy that a large amount of property is about to come to hand.
After the man left the woman locked herself in the room for three whole days, a whole three days of crying, the child entrusted to the nanny regardless, she thought of suicide but could not let go of their children, and finally is the daughter misses her mother's cries woke her up, she wiped away the tears. The top of the kind of eyes like peaches, to the man's company sent the signed name of the divorce agreement.
Just like that, they divorced, years of business, years of happiness, years of happy family, it ended.
They did not tell the child about the divorce, the man still often come to see the child, but with the passage of time, he visited the child the number of times is slowly decreasing, she did not want to see him again, because he came every time, she will be in tears that night wet a pillowcase.
Especially in the last six months, the man began to change from every three days to once a week to see the child, slowly become two weeks, a month, two months …… and then the woman did not see him.
This is the story that Li Ting is going to tell, and this story is the reality of her and Wei Ligui, who used to be so happy as a family.
Li Ting will talk about the year is, eyes still with an incomparable nostalgia and yearning, Liu Wan Diem a few people think, if she gives her a choice, perhaps she would like to stay forever in their most difficult but also the happiest time it, even if there is no big house without so much money.
Rechecking the Clues
"That's about how it went, now you know why we're getting divorced." Lydia skimmed her head and quietly wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.
"So, it was because your husband cheated on you that you got divorced?" After listening for half a day, Liu Wan Diem understood the general situation.
Li Ting smiled bitterly, although she still didn't want to admit the cruelty of the truth even now, but yet it was really the case, she just had to nod her head.
Everyone sat on the sofa and looked at each other, if that was the case, Li Ting was also suspected, at least she couldn't rule out the suspicion yet.
"So when was the last time you saw your ex-husband?" The tall cop asked.
Li Ting said, "Three months ago, yes, it was three months ago when he came to see the kids and picked up the two kids to play for a while."
