MTL - Old Injury-Chapter 13

】

Song Mo looked at me timidly, and even stopped chewing the cake.

He is a sensitive child, and his words will hurt him if he is not careful. Although I was also shocked that he would call me "mom", it is really unnecessary to deny him at this time and make him think that he has done something wrong.

He may have been looking forward to it for a long time, brewing for a long time, before finally summoning the courage to call me that. Thinking of this possibility, I couldn't bear to open my mouth to correct him.

I pursed my lips, and I said to Song Bailao: "I didn't ask Momo to call me that, but... Since we're married, I don't have any opinion on how he wants to call me."

Following my statement, Song Mo relaxed and gave me a small smile. I was so softhearted by his smile that I couldn't help but give him back.

At this time, Li Xun came over with a cup of fragrant black coffee, bent over and placed it on the glass coffee table in front of Song Bailao, then she got up and was about to leave, when Song Bailao stopped her and asked her to bring Song Mo went to wash his hands.

Children don’t pay attention to what they eat, and there is a lot of cream on their hands and faces, and they really need to be washed. But I know that Song Bailao's main purpose is to spare Li Xun and Song Mo so that they can talk to me alone.

Watching Li Xun disappear in the corner holding Song Mo's hand, Song Bailao withdrew his gaze and looked at me again: "Don't do unnecessary things."

Although there is no difference between the look and the prank, at most, the expression is a little lighter, but this subtle change is enough to make me tremble.

My eyelashes trembled uncontrollably, a dry smile on my lips: "What... extra?"

"Trying to be my child's 'mother' is too much." He leaned back in his chair and said clearly, "I said, as long as you do what you should do, don't give If I cause trouble, we can coexist peacefully. You really don't need to play these tricks... I don't want to play a happy family game with you."

I felt a sense of powerlessness. In his heart, what I may do is purposeful and has ulterior motives. He can choose the distance between him and me, and even arbitrarily "use" my body, but I don't want to take the initiative to get close to him. As long as I make a little arrogant move, he will show his sharp claws and let me know the consequences of "crossing the line".

This shrike is moody and ferocious, making it hard to please. I don't know what kind of immortal character Song Mo's mother is, and how good she must be in order to have the title of "Song Bailao's mother"... an admirable title.

"I really didn't teach Momo to call me 'mom', nor did I have the idea of ​​replacing his biological mother. I know you hate me, and I will try to appear in front of you as little as possible in the future. As for Momo... I really feel sorry for him, I want to be nice to him, not play tricks." As I said that, I wanted to laugh a little, "No matter what I do to Ning Yu, I won't take advantage of a child."

After listening to my words, Song Bailao fell into silence, as if thinking about the credibility of my words.

After a while, he said, "Remember what you said today."

I let out a sigh of relief, knowing that it was Yu Jiyun.

"If I have nothing to do, I'll go first." I glanced at my watch and found that it was almost time for my appointment with Ning Shi, so I got up and prepared to leave.

Song Bailao raised his eyes, and his voice sounded unhurriedly: "I have contacted a lawyer about the plagiarism of the competition two years ago, and you may be asked to sign a few authorization documents at that time, You just sign it."

The usual statement tone, domineering and indisputable.

I was stunned for a moment, the whole person stayed there and looked at him blankly: "Lawyer?"

"Your stigma may only be related to yourself in the past, but now it is also related to me, and even the reputation of the whole 'Xiasheng'." Song Bailao held up the coffee cup, "Who told you that It's useless, now I can only wipe your ass."

I opened my mouth, although his speech was still ugly, but I have learned to block keywords and delete useful information. What he means is that he wants to reverse the case for me. But I don't have any useful evidence here except my own mouth...

A faint spark was emitted, and he was clamoring for a "resurrection".

Song Bailao's coffee cup was in the air, looking at me with a "what are you kidding" eyes. Seeing that I didn't look fake, he quickly turned into a foolish look.

"Xia Sheng's lawyers are one of the best lawyers in the world. If they can't win such a small case, how can they deserve the high legal fees I pay them every year? I never Raising waste." He sipped the dark brown liquid in the cup, as if he felt that it was not rigorous enough, and added, "You are the exception."

The development of this matter is beyond my expectations. Although Song Bailao repeatedly said that this is for the reputation of himself and Xia Sheng, the biggest profiteer is still me. Anyway, I should thank him.

"Excuse me." I nodded slightly at him, "Thank you."

Song Bailao looked at the floor-to-ceiling window with a coffee cup, his tone was slow, and his voice was low: "Since you know 'trouble', you will do less troublesome things in the future."

Leaving Xia Sheng, I asked the driver to take me to the coffee shop that I made an appointment with Ning Shi. When I was about 100 meters away from my destination, the driver suddenly braked and my body leaned forward uncontrollably. A mighty team appeared in front of the vehicle, crossing the street and going from right to left. Everyone has more or less two slogans on their hands, calling for attention to beta's human rights and to treat each beta freely and equally.

"It's a parade again." The driver's tone was a little helpless.

I unbuckled my seatbelt and said, "Let me down here, anyway, just cross the road, I'll just walk over by myself."

The driver turned the direction, pulled over and stopped, saying that he would find a place to park nearby, and let me call him when I use the car again.

I got out of the car and walked through the crowd with difficulty. I was in a place where there were so many people. I felt uncomfortable all over and just wanted to pass quickly. When I was about to get to the other side of the road, a leaflet was suddenly stuffed into my arms. The other party is a young girl with a scale painted in striking red on her face, and the scales hold the words "Freedom" and "Equality" written in yellow oil paint.

She pulled me and said very fast: "Sir, learn about the beta affirmative action, this society is too unfair to us."

I pressed the flyer and said indifferently, "Oh, okay..." I broke free from her hand, and I quickly left the parade.

Pushing the door and entering the cafe, the wind chime at the front of the door made a crisp sound, and the waiter said softly here: "Welcome."

There are not many customers in the store, Ning Shi has already arrived, sitting by the window, drinking coffee while watching the parade not far away.

"Sorry, I'm late." I walked across to her and sat down, and the flyer was placed on the table.

Ning Shi saw it, picked it up, glanced at it, and quickly put it down.

I took the drink list handed over by the waiter and ordered a random one. After listening to her dejected remarks, I couldn't help but reply: "If these people also accept their fate, beta will There's really no hope."

Ning Shi sneered and said disapprovingly: "Look at what you said, you know that nature has the survival of the fittest, right? Alpha and omega are completely immune to c20. Combined, their children will only be type A. Blood and type O blood. Don't tremble to guess whether you are the unlucky one-tenth, healthier, better, and more needed by this society. Omegas are not like betas that are useless once they are born, want to be born No matter how many births you have, you are not afraid of cheating if you mark each other with alpha. Beta's physical strength and IQ are not as good as alpha's, and their appearance and talent are not comparable to omega's. "

"But..." I know what she's saying is false, but to be honest, it's hard to find a strong counterpoint. "Without beta, this world and this society can't function, and many Careers are inseparable from beta contributions.”

Ning Shi sneered: "Ning Yu, why are you so naive? There used to be dinosaurs on the earth, without them, do you see the world stop working?" She said in a relaxed tone, as if she had jumped out Beta ranks, detached from the abo system, "Let's not talk about it, let's talk about the past 100 years, so many people with type AB blood have died, and this society is not very good. Many professions are inseparable from beta, because Neither the alpha nor the omega are willing to do it. Can you imagine having an a or an o sweeping the streets?"

beta It is not difficult to find a job, but it is much more difficult to find a good job than an alpha with the same education and experience. There are many large companies that will even give priority to entering alpha, and the remaining positions will be considered for beta. The promotion of beta is also far less fast than that of alpha. For occupations such as writers and designers that require creative inspiration, betas don’t even want to squeeze in, which has always been the field of omega. That's why it was so easy for Chang Xingze to frame me back then. Among the dozens of participating teams, only me and Xiang Ping were made up of two betas, and the other teams also had at least one omega.

I thought about what she said, and said, "If beta strikes now, alpha and omega will also have a headache."

"Power and money are in the hands of ao, the bottom beta waits all day for those wages to live, and who is more disadvantaged if there is no wages on strike?"

I looked at Ning Shi, and suddenly felt extremely frightened. She sat in front of me talking about the hopeless point of the beta, like a mirror between us. Looking at her is like looking at myself. Countless times I've had the same thoughts as hers, I've written them down in a journal, every stroke is a shade of gray, and these negative emotions are always easier to control my brain when I'm hit.

I thought we had nothing in common except for appearance. It seems that I was wrong. Some of her thoughts still affect me... This may also be called the tragedy of the original family.

The biggest difference between me and her is that she has completely given up hope and I am still struggling.

While struggling, she was afraid of being overwhelmed by a more painful reality, so she could no longer cheer up. So become more and more timid, more and more careful.

"Forget it, I can't convince you, and I don't want to agree with you, so let's get down to business." I said, "Can you tell me the name of the child this time?"

Ning Shi stirred the coffee in front of him with a spoon, and said unexpectedly: "Yes, his name is Youyou, an excellent You. I fostered him in a beta family since he was a child, and every so often Going to see him. He knows his mother is a male beta and is looking forward to seeing you."

I was nervous and excited, and I couldn't help but lean forward: "He knows me?"

"He often asks me about his father." Ning Shi looked at me meaningfully, "After so many years, you still refuse to tell me?"

I became vigilant: "After so many years, what if I know? I'm married now."

"That's a precious fertility opportunity for beta..."

"I don't know the identity of the other party either, it's just a random guy I met in the bar, just a one-night stand." I prevaricate her and don't want to continue this topic.

Ning Shi saw my rejection and did not continue to ask.

After a while, my lemon soda came and we stopped talking for a while.

After the waiter left, I asked Ning Shi, "When can I see him?"

Ning Shi frowned: "It's been agreed for half a year, don't you want to go back on it?"

Although it is only spring, the sun is shining today, and the seat by the window is a bit hot after sitting for a long time. The store also turned on the air conditioner early because of this, but the temperature was set too low, and the cold air hit the other half When on the body, it will be cold again.

Ice and Fire, just like my mood at this time.

"Can't it be earlier?"

I discussed with Ning Shi, but she didn't get into the oil and salt: "How can there be such a reason in business. You keep your promise, and I keep your promise, isn't it?"

Business…

It seems that she does not care about family at all and just wants to talk business with me.

I bit my lip and lowered my request: "Then at least... give me a picture of the child?"

Ning Shi looked hesitant and distressed.

"Please." I begged her, "Just a picture."

"Or else... Next time I'll ask you to make a video call, so the head office will do." She finally backed down.

Instead of taking pictures, I naturally prefer to talk to the other party and ask him how he has been all these years.

"Yes, yes!" I hurriedly responded. After I was happy, I asked her carefully, "When is the next time...?"

Ning Shi took out her phone and glanced at the date: "Next month."

I am a little disappointed to hear that it will be next month. But thinking that I can really meet him in a few months, I can't help but have infinite longing.

Afterwards, I asked Ning Shi a series of trivial questions, such as the food the child likes to eat, the books he likes to read, and even the size of his clothes and height, and begged her to let me look at the photos again. In the end, Ning Shi became impatient. Looking at the time, he said that it was not too early, so let me go back early.

I heard what she meant, so I had to pay and end the meeting.
