Trafford’s Trading Club

In the past few days, I unexpectedly saw a young man taking Ren Ziling back at night.

There are many old neighbors in the old city, and gradually some gossips started to happen... Occasionally, when I passed by a small restaurant where a group of guests would sit to enjoy the cool air at night, I heard it.

Luo Qiu also met him once, just downstairs in the old house... talking and laughing.

Who could it be?

He didn't know when he felt uneasy, vaguely irritable... maybe it was just like what the old neighbor said.

She was still so young, in her best years and when she needed the most comfort. How could she devote herself to raising a child who was about to grow up?

Moreover, it is not a biological child?

Who is that young man who often sends her back? Luo Qiu had always felt that he would not be the kind of impulsive person, but he gradually developed an impulse that he could not explain clearly.

It was like a devil, perhaps always present in my heart, and then fed on in the months after my father died in the line of duty.

Finally... saw this young man for the second time. On this day, he deliberately took leave from school early and returned to his house in the old city earlier than before. The college entrance examination was approaching. The school could not let him go casually.

But the teacher knew what was going on with this child and knew that it was not easy for a child who had just lost his father, so he was a little more tolerant.

Luo Qiu hid in his room, and the closed curtains quietly opened a gap. He felt a sense of guilt... and looked downstairs silently.

It wasn't a high-end car, but the man who got off was probably only in his mid-twenties, so he seemed to be in pretty good condition to be able to drive such a car.

He also saw Ren Ziling getting out of the car... She seemed a little absent-minded. Luo Qiu couldn't hear what they were saying.

But it seemed that after just two words, it was over. The man nodded and drove away.

But Luo Qiu didn't see Ren Ziling coming up immediately. Instead, she leaned against the wall downstairs and lit a cigarette... This was the first time Luo Qiu saw her smoking.

While twitching, she suddenly squatted down, covered her eyes with her hands, and her shoulders shook slightly. He knew she was crying... This was the first time he had seen her so sad in such a long time.

A man squatted downstairs at home, sobbing silently.

How helpless and painful is this to be like this? Luo Qiu didn't know... He just suddenly had the idea that maybe what those old neighbors said was not unreasonable.

He just looked at it like this... After about ten minutes, Ren Ziling stood up again, quickly washed her face with mineral water, then patted her face, opened the door and walked out. .

Footsteps, Luo Qiu heard her footsteps coming from outside the door. She knocked on the door gently and asked him if he had eaten and if he was tired... some words that could be heard every day.

But he didn't choose to open the door, nor did he make a sound. He just sat silently in the room with the lights off. She thought he had fallen asleep.

Although she brought him back here, she still felt cold and cold.

…

"Really! I saw that woman and a young man walking into the hotel!"

"Which woman?"

"And that one? Isn't that the one! I knew that at such a young age, I would not be able to bear it!"

"Wait a minute...did someone walk by just now?"

"who?"

"It looks like Lao Luo's son. Am I wrong?"

…

Luo Qiu felt that he shouldn't have come...but he still came here unknowingly.

Something was driving him to come, and he felt that he really couldn't control himself. This was not a very good situation...but he did see the car that had taken her back, parked under the hotel.

The hotel is not high-end, just like hotels in the old city... maybe a restaurant is more suitable. Luo Qiu suddenly felt a little ridiculous. Even if he arrived, could he do anything? Should something be done?

When he hesitated, whether it would be better to leave... some things, perhaps not revealed, would be better for both parties.

Maybe, even if he was the only one, he wouldn't be able to survive... That's it.

But he saw the man, walking by in the hotel lobby. Luo Qiu was startled. He knew he shouldn't continue to get involved, but... there was something driving him.

He followed the man quietly, but did not see him enter the floor that provided accommodation for people, but only the private room on the second floor.

The room... seemed very lively.

He took a deep breath and quietly opened a gap. Before that, he had even heard Ren Ziling's voice.

So loud.

"No way! I will never give up Luo Qiu's custody rights!!"

"What custody rights? Is this your biological son?"

Another voice...the voice of a middle-aged man. Luo Qiu wanted to know the source of this voice: the person who responded to Ren Ziling with an indifferent voice was obviously a cousin of his father who had the same surname as him.

There are a lot of people inside, all of whom are from the Luo side... people who dare to come from other cities. Luo Qiu's father was originally assigned to work in this city, and later settled down and lived in the same place as them.

"Speaking of relatives! Who is closer! We all have the blood of the same ancestor! And you! We will never say a word if we say she is her biological mother! But you are just a woman who got started later! You are so kind, Take care of him? How old are you? Can you bear it?"

What a snarky voice.

"I've said it many times! Please don't come to me again! I will never give up custody rights!"

How many times has she... faced these people?

"Hmph! I think you are just greedy for money! What you are greedy for is my poor cousin's property! To put it bluntly, that's all!"

Ren Ziling suddenly said nothing, but threw a pile of documents on the table with an unusually heavy weight. She looked at the people at the table and said vigorously: "These! These are all the properties my husband had after his death, as well as the pension from the conquest, and the real estate certificate! And the inheritance distributed to me after his death! All of it! , I have entrusted my lawyer to represent them, and they have all been inherited in Luo Qiu’s name! When he comes of age, all of these will belong to him! Before that, I will never use any of these inheritances!"

"Hello, I am the representative lawyer of Qingyuan Law Firm, and this is my card." The man said calmly at this moment: "Miss Ren has already gone through the relevant procedures with us, and I guarantee that these are all legally binding. . If you don’t believe it, you can take copies of these documents to any notary office to check. If you have any questions, I can also answer them.”

Lawyer...is this man actually a lawyer...

"What can you give this child? Yes! I am indeed not his biological mother, but we have lived together for at least a few years! And what about you? Do you know what this child likes to eat? What he likes to wear? Like What songs are you listening to? When is his birthday? What does he like to play? Have you ever called him during the holidays? Do you want custody? With all this, does he need you to support him? You guys What can you give him? Don’t you want these too?”

"You, since you don't want anything, what can you give him?"

An angry voice.

"I!"

Ren Ziling pointed at her face and said loudly, as if she was swearing: "I can give him a home!"

Why does she need to be strong...because she knows that she needs to face these vicious words, and she needs to protect a father who just lost his child.

If she wasn't strong, if she wasn't as good as a hedgehog with sharp thorns all over her body, how could she keep walking with that child.

…

Luo Qiu closed the door gently, and no one knew he had been there.

But some people knew that he hit someone that day... As if he was ill, Zhan Xiaobu, who was nearby, suddenly slapped a middle-aged woman hard in the face.

…

…

Snapped!

There was a very loud and clear sound, and the slender fingers struck the face with great precision, almost as if it could be broken by a blow.

I don't know how powerful it is, but it is obvious that it instantly caused a red mark of a slap on this delicate face.

After being slapped, Long Xiruo's mind went blank for a moment.

She has never had such an experience... No, it should be said that she has never had such an experience since she matured. When was the last time? Thousands of years ago? Thousands of years ago? As a child?

There were bursts of burning pain in her neck that was pinched by the opponent's palm, but it wasn't that she couldn't breathe. It was just another kind of pain on her face, which made her feel unprecedented humiliation.

Long Xiruo slowly lowered her head. Even though she was grabbed by the neck and raised her body, she seemed to be unhurried. Her golden eyes seemed to have become dimmer, turning into a dark golden color... …But it’s also more solid.

"You...are planning to start a war with me here, aren't you?"

You can clearly feel Long Xiruo's hidden anger. Facing this rage that was like a stormy wave, Luo Qiu faced it without wavering at all.

"I just wanted to let you know something."

Luo Qiu suddenly let go of his hand, and Long Xiruo suddenly stood on the ground, and then he continued: "We are not coming back from the dead, and we are not saying that we were forced to disappear by those Western lunatics you mentioned, we are just... …We are always walking in the world.”

In an instant, behind the owner of the club, an old, ancient, and weird door suddenly stood up.

It slowly opened a little.

Just this tiny trace, as small as a hair, reveals something about it.

Long Xiruo suddenly took a big step back. A layer of moisture formed on her forehead instantly. Her eyes, which were almost dark gold, returned to their normal black and white color. She even trembled slightly involuntarily.

She seemed to hear countless wailing sounds, and she seemed to feel a whisper that seemed to come from the entire world. It seemed that there was only desolation and endless silence in front of her.

She seemed to be in the endless red earth, the sea was changing... the sky was shattering, and the world seemed to fall into nothingness in the next moment.

She is the true dragon that protects this land...but only this land.

But above the earth...

He is right... In this era, in this Dharma Ending Age... how can anyone appear who can compete with this place?

Boom!

A loud noise like thunder on a dry day rang in Long Xiruo's mind, making her forget the pain in her neck and the humiliating feeling of being slapped. Her mind went blank again... This was the sound of this terrifying door closing.

It's so heavy...I can't bear it.

The air flow caused by the whizzing vehicles on the road blew to Long Xiruo's back, and the coolness of water meeting the wind restored some of her blank consciousness.

She and the new owner of this club are still here, in this city, and everything seems to have returned to its original state.

"I'm sorry, I almost never hit people. But sometimes I do get a little impulsive."

She heard such a calm voice... It was not so much an apology as it was just explaining something.

"I didn't hurt you, did I?"

Luo Qiu didn't know when he got closer to Long Xiruo. His finger lightly touched the slap mark on her face, and the red mark faded away instantly.

Long Xiruo subconsciously took another step back, filled with fear and a trace of fear that she was unwilling to admit, so that she was unable to respond to this situation, which was like being raped.

"Owner!"

At this moment, the voice of the maid came from behind Luo Qiu. The maid seemed to have broken through the space and walked directly over.

Long Xiruo could clearly see that the look in this woman's eyes, which was bluer than the sea, was getting deeper, and her hands were slowly burning with extremely troublesome black flames, as if she was about to enter a battle state, and even Maybe you won’t say anything and just act loud.

"madman."

Long Xiruo said something coldly, turned around, jumped onto the roof of the building next to him, and disappeared into the night of the city in an instant.

She forcefully swallowed the humiliation of the slap, but did not have the thought of fighting to the death... Her pride was completely torn in front of that door and scattered into a pile of useless things.

…

"Master, just now..."

Seeing that Long Xiruo had left, the maid also withdrew her black flame and came to Luo Qiu's side.

Luo Qiu breathed a sigh of relief, silently looked at the night sky, and then said softly: "People who are easy to talk are easily bullied, but if they are crazy, emotionally unstable, etc., they should make people feel a little more afraid. It's okay, I It’s just a warning to her...you should go back first."

Youye nodded. She glanced at Ren Ziling, who was leaning against the car door not far away, and seemed to understand something.

…

…

But she still felt a little scared... If the car hadn't recovered in time, would she have been lying in the hospital?

Ren Ziling raised her head and glanced at the building where she now lived, and immediately went up without any intention of going up.

She took out her makeup mirror and took a good look at her face... She didn't want Jia Luoqiu to see anything wrong with her face.

This kid's eyes are as sharp as a thief, and he has inherited the skills of his boss who was a policeman very well.

She planned to walk up after finishing this puff of cigarette.

She just didn't know why, but as she twitched, she squatted down, her eyes were a little moist, and she felt like crying... She seemed so lonely alone.

But she couldn't let people see her so vulnerable.

One minute, just cry for one minute. Ren Ziling, do you understand?

She said this to herself.

"What are you doing squatting here?"

Exactly one minute later, Ren Ziling heard an extremely familiar voice... Luo Qiu's voice.

With her eyes a little red and the cigarette butt still held between her fingers, Ren Ziling squatted and raised her head. She saw Luo Qiu appearing here and opened her mouth slightly.

"pain……"

She was so stunned that the burning heat of the cigarette butt hurt her for a moment before she realized what she was doing. She quickly threw away the cigarette butt in her hand, lowered her head, stood up, and rubbed her eyes quickly at the same time, "There is sand." It's in your eyes. You...what are you doing here again? No, isn't the light on above? Why are you downstairs?"

Luo Qiu raised the shopping bag in his hand and said, "Aren't you going to use the firewood, rice, oil, and salt? I don't imagine that you can remember these things."

Ren Ziling smiled coquettishly.

"Have you eaten?"

"No... no time..." Ren Ziling shook her head.

"Go back, I'll make something for you." Luo Qiu said of course, "I just bought some meatballs, let's make fermented rice balls."

With that said, Luo Qiu walked directly upstairs. Ren Ziling was stunned and quickly followed. She pushed Luo Qiu's back with her hands and quickened her pace, "Ah! I can't control my stomach anymore! Boy, Hurry, hurry up!!”

"Throw away the cigarette case in your bag before entering." Luo Qiu said without looking back.

Deputy Editor Ren could only respond pitifully, "I got it!"

When entering the door, although Ren Ziling was a little reluctant, she still put the cigarette case in the trash can in the corridor. At this time, Luo Qiu suddenly stood at the door and turned around.

He said calmly: "Throw away the ones you hid in the closet as well."

"...Okay." Deputy Editor Ren kowtowed weakly.

"Well...welcome home."

Ren Ziling was stunned and suddenly raised her head, only to see Luo Qiu walking in.

She couldn't hold it back all of a sudden, and after crying for a minute, her eyes turned red again.

…

…

Shen Meixuan was like this, anxiously looking for her son on the street... Where could he go? Have you regained some consciousness?

Continuous question marks appeared in her heart, and she was even worried about whether something would happen to her son in his current state.

She blamed herself, she shouldn't have gone out shopping so rashly.

It had been several hours, but she still hadn't found her son, which made Shen Meixuan almost go crazy.

Now that she finally got her son back, please don't take him away from her anymore... She prayed like this.

Perhaps after hearing her prayer, Shen Meixuan finally found her son.

He just stood at the door of an amusement center, quietly looking at the amusement center's sign. (To be continued.)
