Liu Wenbin took two buses and found the happy community where Ren Xiaojie rented.
The community is very dilapidated and completely open. There is a pool of smelly water in the depression to the left of the door. Several sewer workers are cleaning the dirt.
Liu Wenbin stopped while passing a fruit shop while covering his nose. He saw the big cherries sold in the fruit shop, which were purple-red and larger than a one-yuan coin.
He subconsciously wanted to go in, took two steps and then stepped back.
The proprietress of the fruit shop saw him and greeted him warmly: "Brother, the newly arrived big cherries are very sweet. Buy some for your children! Children all love this."
The word "child" made Liu Wenbin's heart fill with emotion. There were bursts of sadness. Yes, Miaomiao loves to eat big cherries. There was a time when the price of a pound of big cherries was more than 80. Liu Wenbin's performance was not good that month and he was reluctant to buy a pound of ribs. But he didn't hesitate to buy the big cherries that Miaomiao loved to eat.
He loved to watch Miaomiao eating cherries, squinting her eyes and making dimples when she smiled, it was simply sweeter than cherries.
The memories evoked by cherries made Liu Wenbin's originally hard heart soften. In the end, he bought a box. When
was walking towards the community carrying the box, the weight on his hands woke him up. He couldn't help but laugh at himself: How cheap! What can I buy for myself with more than two hundred dollars? Miaomiao, Miaomiao is not his biological child.
Ren Xiaojie lived on the fifth floor, and Liu Wenbin stood in front of the mottled iron door, with mixed feelings in his heart. After a long time, the door finally clicked.
The door opened, and Ren Xiaojie's pale face appeared in front of Liu Wenbin. She didn't seem to react, and was stunned for a while before she remembered to make way for Liu Wenbin.
Liu Wenbin silently placed the cherry at the door. At this time, a thin figure popped out of the bedroom and shot into Liu Wenbin's arms like a cannonball, "Dad!"
It was Miao Miao.
Liu Wenbin took Miaomiao into his arms, forced himself to smile, and replied: "Hey!"

Miaomiao kept pestering Liu Wenbin asking questions, "Dad, I miss you, and you didn't come to pick me up." I...Dad, when can we go back to our old home? When will it be renovated? It's so dirty, smelly and noisy here! I don't like it...Dad, my room needs to be painted light blue. Sex!"
Ren Xiaojie came over and pulled Miaomiao away: "Go and do your homework, mom and dad have something to say."
Miaomiao was very good. When she turned around, she saw the big box of cherries at the door, and she looked at it eagerly. Looking at the two of them, he asked: "Can I eat it?"
Liu Wenbin went to unpack the box, but Ren Xiaojie stopped him: "Miaomiao, my father bought this for others. If you want to eat it, I will go downstairs to buy it for you later."
Liu Wenbin With a dark face, he pushed the open box in front of Ren Xiaojie: "I've bought so many, and I still need this one box?"
Ren Xiaojie's originally pale face turned even paler, and she looked at Liu Wenbin wetly, but hesitated to speak.
Liu Wenbin took a basin from the table and washed some for Miaomiao: "Miaomiao, take the cherries and go do your homework."
After Miaomiao returned to the house, Ren Xiaojie smoothed her hair unnaturally and said, "Thank you You, Wenbin, are you here today?"
Liu Wenbin deliberately ignored Ren Xiaojie and asked in a rough voice: "Let me ask you, when are you going to give me the 150,000 yuan?"
Ren Xiaojie looked embarrassed: " Wenbin, let me discuss with you, is it okay to pay in installments? I paid the rent for a year last month, and I have to pay the tuition for Miao Miao’s English class this month. Next month, I’ll get my salary paid. I'll pay you back five thousand. I've taken on a lot of private work now. As long as I have money, I'll pay it back to you first, okay?"
After saying that, her eyes turned red and her voice lowered: "Please"
Liu Wenbin. From the beginning, she knew that Ren Xiaojie had no money to pay back, and she couldn't bring her children to live here if she had money. The instant noodles on the table, the rotten apples with holes on the coffee table, the bag of potatoes at the door... Many details in this small home illustrate how miserable Ren Xiaojie's life was after leaving the house with Miaomiao.
Liu Wenbin came here today, but he actually didn’t want to get the money. He was just in a bad mood, he hated it, and he needed to vent his anger.
Also, what he didn't want to admit was that he missed Miaomiao.

After the divorce, every lonely and miserable night, Liu Wenbin imagined more than once: If only he didn't test the child's blood type that day, then they would live together happily as before.
Now every time he thinks about what happened that day, Liu Wenbin feels extremely ironic. He went to test Miaomiao's blood type not out of suspicion, but out of meticulous love.
At that time, a colleague's son was in a car accident and needed a blood transfusion. Liu Wenbin was helping in the hospital when he suddenly remembered that he seemed not sure about Miao Miao's blood type. Miaomiao was born in her hometown, and the hospital there did not take the initiative to test the blood type of newborns.
After hearing about the car accident of his colleague’s son, Liu Wenbin felt that it would be better to know the blood type in advance. It just so happened that during that time, Miaomiao had a cold and cough and needed a blood test to confirm whether she was infected with bacteria when she went to the hospital, so Liu Wenbin asked the doctor to add a blood type item.
When he saw that Miaomiao's blood type was B, he was completely stunned. He and Ren Xiaojie had done premarital examinations, and they both had type A blood. How could they give birth to a child with type B blood?
His first reaction was that the verification was wrong. Even though he had doubts, he felt sorry for Miaomiao and did not want her to be pricked again. He endured it until three days later, when Miaomiao's blood test was reviewed, the blood test type was added again. The result of
is still B type .
That night, after Miao Miao fell asleep, Liu Wenbin took the blood type results and asked Ren Xiaojie bluntly: "What's going on? I don't doubt you. I'm watching Lao Li's child for blood transfusion, and I'm not sure about Miao Miao." My blood type, so I took a test. Tell me how this happened? I took the test twice! How could two people with type A blood give birth to a child with type B blood?"
Ren Xiaojie shook her hands slightly and took the test form. , looked again and again, but never looked up.
The room was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. Liu Wenbin suppressed his excitement and waited silently for Ren Xiaojie's reply.
After a long, long time, a crisp "bada" broke the silence. That was the sound of tears hitting the paper.
Liu Wenbin stared at the wet test report, and his heart began to cramp. He asked in disbelief: "You...you cheated? Miaomiao is not my child?"
Ren Xiaojie raised her head, tears streaming down her face, her voice dumb. Said: "Are you willing to listen to my explanation? If you are willing to listen, I can talk to you?"
Liu Wenbin covered his heart and sat down numbly.

That year, Liu Wenbin and Ren Xiaojie ended their three-year relationship and entered into marriage. Both parents had little money, so they used their savings to buy a small house with a mortgage. In order to repay the loan as soon as possible, both of them worked very hard.
Ren Xiaojie was just a small design assistant at the time, and her daily job was to assist the design director. . At that time, the company was struggling with a complete VI design for a large company, and the entire team had to work overtime all night to come up with alternative solutions.
One day, the design director came to Ren Xiaojie and said that he wanted to invite people from the other company to dinner. During the dinner, they would discuss some design issues and asked Ren Xiaojie to follow him to listen.
Ren Xiaojie foolishly thought that the director valued her, but when she entered the private room, she realized that what was waiting for her was actually a drinking game with an old man. The director brought her here just because she was young and beautiful.
In the end, Ren Xiaojie was forced unconscious. When she woke up, she was on the bed of Express Hotel next to the company. She was naked, and beside her lay the design director sleeping like a pig.
Ren Xiaojie was stunned after screaming. She tried hard to think about what happened the night before, but her brain seemed to have been formatted and her memory was blank. The design director of
was woken up by her. He sat up and put on his clothes calmly. While putting on the clothes, he said with a smile: "You drank too much last night and kept pestering me. I didn't expect that you are usually as well-behaved and cute as a little baby." White Rabbit, so hot in bed."
Ren Xiaojie burst into tears and said fiercely: "Impossible! I'm a good drinker and I just fall asleep when I'm drunk. You lied to me! It was you who raped me! I'm going to sue you! "The design director of
sneered: "Then you can sue. Where is the condom? Throw it away. As for you, I have also taken a bath. Take a look for yourself. Are there any signs of resistance and struggle in the room, on the bed, or on you? "
Ren Xiaojie was about to collapse: "The hotel has surveillance, and it must have captured the footage of you bringing me in. At that time, I was already unconscious! "
Design Director: "Haha, I'm not old, but I know a lot. Then go adjust the monitoring and call the police. Hey, I remember you were married not long ago, right? After calling the police, this matter will no longer be covered up. Your husband will know, your parents will know, and maybe your colleagues will know too. If you say I raped you, what will happen even if everyone believes it? You are still young and have little social experience. Let me tell you, the number of people who sympathize with you will be the same as the number of people who will talk about you behind your back. I'm alone, so it doesn't matter. "
Mentioning her husband, the inexperienced Ren Xiaojie's psychological defense was broken. She huddled on the bed and couldn't help crying.
The design director actually advised: "Isn't it normal for adult men and women to have sex? You are not the only person I have slept with in our company. I advise you, be smart and act as if nothing happened. I'll include you in the next batch of promotion lists. "
Ren Xiaojie was really too naive at the time. She was frightened by the design director's words. Just as she was hesitating, Liu Wenbin called and asked her if she was tired from working overtime all night, when she could go home, and if she needed him to pick her up.
In that moment of hesitation, Ren Xiaojie lied and lost the best opportunity. She looked at the greasy and wretched design director, and at the same time, she said desperately into the microphone: "I still have some work to do. That's it. I'll be home around noon. "
hung up the phone, and the design director smiled proudly: "That's right, there is no need to cause trouble for everyone. Don't worry, I'm a man of martial ethics, and I will definitely do what I promise you. "

Ren Xiaojie returned home in a daze and fell seriously ill. During her illness, she completely forgot about taking emergency contraceptive pill . Thinking about it afterwards, she could only comfort herself that the beast had used a condom and would not So unlucky.
Liu Wenbin, who knew nothing about the truth, believed that Ren Xiaojie fell ill because the job was too hard, so he decided to let her change her job. She really couldn't live with that beast every day. Meet.
After completing the resignation procedures, Liu Wenbin took annual leave and took Ren Xiaojie on a trip to relax. Ren Xiaojie's mood was slightly relieved, because the atmosphere of the trip was so good, and Ren Xiaojie tried his best to look normal, so the two slept together. Many times.
More than a month later, Ren Xiaojie found out that she was pregnant.
When she got the diagnosis result from the hospital, Liu Wenbin was so happy that she fell into a huge panic. ; On the other hand, she was afraid that the contraceptive success rate of condoms was not 100%. What if the child was that beast?
She was struggling every day, and she was getting thinner. Liu Wenbin felt that he had to take care of work and could not take care of her. She brought her parents over.
At this point, Ren Xiaojie had no choice but to bite the bullet and hint that fate would not tease her again.
Their life had been so happy in the past seven years. The terrible past had been slowly covered up. Ren Xiaojie really thought that everything was over. However, she never expected that one day, due to a small opportunity, this matter would be swept away from the dust. When Liu Wenbin found out that Miao Miao was not his flesh and blood, he was so depressed that he even wanted to die. He loved this child so much that he wanted to pluck the stars from the sky. Come down and give it to her; he loves his wife so much that he wishes he could keep away all the wind and rain.
However, suddenly one day, someone told him that everything was fake, that the seven-year relationship between father and daughter was fake, and that the child he held in his hands was actually the product of his wife's rape.
As a husband, he had no way to empathize with Ren Xiaojie. He once roared and asked her: "Since you knew you were raped, why didn't you call the police? Why didn't you tell me? Why didn't you take contraceptive pills ? If I didn't If you find out that there is something wrong with Miao Miao's blood type, are you going to keep it secret from me for the rest of your life? Are you still a human being?"
Ren Xiaojie was speechless. If Ren Xiaojie had experienced something like this now, she would never choose to swallow her anger like she did back then.
However, there is no if in this world! Miaomiao is seven years old, she can't go back!
Now facing Liu Wenbin, she did not dare to have any other extravagant hopes except guilt. So Liu Wenbin filed for divorce, she agreed, and took the initiative to clean up and leave the house; Liu Wenbin showed her a similar case. There was a father who raised his cheating wife and other people's children for four years. The court ordered the woman to pay 100,000 in alimony and Mental damage solatium , he has raised Miaomiao for 7 years, 150,000 is not too much, right?
Ren Xiaojie thought it was not too much, but she had no money now, so she could only write an IOU to him.

Does Liu Wenbin care about the 150,000? The home he worked so hard to protect is gone, so what's the use of the 150,000?
He just hates it, and there is a feeling of grievance and anger in his heart that cannot be vented. But he took two buses to make this trip and did nothing except deliver a box of cherries to Miaomiao. Finally, he returned home dejectedly. When changing his shoes, he saw the Snow Queen that Miaomiao had posted on the shoe cabinet. Sticker, at that moment, he felt as if the sky had collapsed and his way of survival was buried.
He pulled out the small sticker, held it in his hand, sat on the ground leaning against the shoe cabinet, and cried inconsolably.
Liu Wenbin is really desperate, not because of his ex-wife's unbearable past that he cannot prove, nor because of his divorce. His despair comes from the fact that he still loves Miaomiao very much. There is no blood-related father-daughter relationship between them. Even if he shows the sharpest knife, he can't cut it. Just like when he saw the big box of cherries, he couldn't help but buy it, laughing at himself while paying.
The divorce broke his back, but the child emptied his heart.
A week later, Liu Wenbin was hanging around in the workplace as usual.
During lunch break, the front desk suddenly called and said that a little girl came to see him. Liu Wenbin seemed to realize something and ran out in big strides. Sure enough, the person who came was Miao Miao. When the little girl saw Liu Wenbin, she rushed over and shouted softly: "Dad."
Liu Wenbin opened his arms uncontrollably, The moment he caught the child, he thought: I can't let my colleagues see anything strange, so I have to pretend to be close to the child.
He lied to himself like this, except that the reason was false, everything was true. He asked Miaomiao: "Why did you run here by yourself? How dangerous! Why did you come to see Dad?"
Miaomiao took out a greeting card from her schoolbag: "The teacher sent me to cross the road, and she was waiting outside. Here I am. Dad, you forgot, today is your birthday, I’m here to send you a greeting card. I made it myself for several nights. Look, do you like it?”
Liu Wenbin held the greeting card. , open the inner page, it is a simple drawing of a family of three. His heart was throbbing, as if every stroke of the painting was painted on his heart.
At that moment, since he learned the truth, his sanity finally slowly returned.
hugged Miaomiao, and he thought of many things.
Thinking of the days when he and Ren Xiaojie were in love in school, the two of them worked together to earn money for their love; thinking of the day they got married naked in order to save money, they just went to celebrate with a buffet of 199 per person on the day they received the certificate; thinking of them saving money to buy a house, I took the bus and looked at countless real estate properties; I remembered how cute Miao Miao looked when she was just born; I thought of Ren Xiaojie's careful care of her parents when they were sick...
They were once so loving and happy, just like a piece of white and flawless paper.Later, he saw a small black dot on the paper. It was bird droppings falling from the sky, snot thrown by passers-by, and mud splashed by passing vehicles while waiting at the red light on the roadside on a rainy day. The white paper is so big and the black dots are so small, but he just can't see the whiteness of the white paper.
He knows this is not good. He also knew that after the bloody truth was revealed, he was in pain and despair. Even if he was not willing to pay, it would be enough to prevent him from being happy for the rest of his life.

Liu Wenbin wants to remarry. Ren Xiaojie disagreed. Liu Wenbin said: "I will treat myself as a second marriage and marry you with children, can't I?"
Ren Xiaojie asked: "What are you trying to do? Don't you feel bad about it? How will you treat our mother and daughter in the future? Do you sometimes I can't live even if I mention two words."
Liu Wenbin laughed at himself: "I also want to completely break up with you, but Xiaojie and Miaomiao have called me daddy for seven years. I raised her since she was a child. Watching her grow up bit by bit! I can't forget it! Even if I get angry and ask you for money, I still remember that she loves to eat big cherries! It's like we have never been married or divorced! , we just walked together from now on."
Ren Xiaojie was silent.
The two eventually remarried, and the three of them still had strong emotions that could not be separated even if they wanted to. They quietly divorced, quietly signed an IOU worth 150,000 yuan, and then quietly remarried. Others only see that their love remains the same as before, and they don't know how turbulent it was beneath the surface.
Speaking of which, the two of them will definitely not be able to go back to the past, but they are both content. Ren Xiaojie once suggested that when Miaomiao was older, they could have a child.
Liu Wenbin remained silent. In the past, Miaomiao was his only one. But now, he knew in his heart that this might be their best choice. It's not that he doesn't love Miaomiao, but that they still need a bond. A bond that makes Ren Xiaojie feel at ease and makes him willing.
After the incident subsided, Liu Wenbin quietly visited the advertising company where Ren Xiaojie worked. He wanted to teach that beast a lesson. All the twists and turns he experienced were due to that beast. If he had to vent his anger, he should be the one to vent it to!
In fact, he didn’t know what he could do if he went there. Beat him up? Scold him? Complain against him? Or even sue him?
Thoughts came to him one after another, but he pushed them down. Anyway, he must do something, he must make that beast pay the price.
However, he never expected that the beast would become seriously ill. The receptionist of the advertising company told him that the design director was undergoing chemotherapy in the hospital and he could go to the hospital to find someone.
Liu Wenbin asked: "What disease does he have?"
The front desk said: "Liver cancer, it was discovered late. If you are his friend, hurry up and go and have a look."
Liu Wenbin suppressed the raised corners of his mouth and nodded. ,gone. When we walked out of the gate, the wind was light and the clouds were light, and the sun was bright. This result made Liu Wenbin feel relieved.
This lighthearted feeling is not all caused by evil people who will not end well. What he didn't want to admit was that a large part of that "lightness in his heart" came from outsiders who knew that Xiaojie had a terrible past and was about to disappear.
No matter how many bad reasons there were for that incident, as an ordinary man, he couldn't deny that he actually cared about it.
But this time, besides him and Ren Xiaojie, the third person who knew about this matter was going to die.
is already very good. He could try to keep this matter in his own mind rather than talking about it on other people's lips. When all hidden dangers are eliminated, in the future, he is willing to look at the white paper more and leave the black spots to be faded by time.
