Xiao Guo only knows a rough idea of ​​Qiqi's life experience. She didn't say the details, and he didn't ask. Caring does not mean interfering in everything and exposing people's privacy. Some people want to know the past of their friends. Men and women in love are very possessive. If the other party’s every move is not reported in detail, it will immediately cause jealousy and anxiety, and they must use various blackmail methods to track down the truth. Human nature?Too hard to live with myself. Qiqi's life has been normal since she left her career as a nightclub backup dancer.

The detective agency has shares, and she is half the boss. She has a place to sit for a while every day, listen to the phone, read the newspaper, and chat, which is better than being bored at home in a daze. Qiqi knows how to live, and she is one of the few happy women who can retreat bravely. She doesn't have much money around her. In a modest apartment on the first floor, some cash is safely deposited in the bank to collect fixed interest. She does not waste or be stingy, and maintains a comfortable life without being humble or overbearing. Qiqi refuses to gamble, she has no interest in gold and stocks, she has never been in the speculation business, at most she plays small mahjong, her tricks are extremely bad, and her sisters always laugh at her for not making progress.

Although Qiqi has stepped into a new era and lived a new life, she does not draw a line with the old friendship. They are still good friends. The only regret is that I may be a little lonely. Qiqi's extraordinary rationality has become a shortcoming in this respect. She doesn't give up her feelings easily. She said: "It's better to be blank than to suffer." Xiao Guo only knows that she has a very young father who is only ten years older than Qiqi, but he is very poor. At a glance, he can tell that this kind of person has never tried a serious job in his life. Or have done anything.

But he has such a good daughter as Qiqi. Qiqi said: "Okay? Not necessarily. When he comes to the door, he has to be perfunctory. He is numb after begging for money. How can he do what he wants?" He has bad habits. Qiqi never mentioned her mother. Time flies, and summer is here again. On a night of heavy thunderstorms, around five o'clock in the afternoon, the sky was as dark as night, dark clouds covered the sky, lightning flashed, and thunder rumbled. Qiqi leaned against the window and said: "It is said that Tianlei is dedicated to chasing and beating unfilial sons."

"Really," Xiao Guo asked with a smile: "Who is filial and who is not? Who decides?" "God." "Is the standard reliable?" "It's just a legend." "Come on, there is no business in heavy rain, let's go back." "I didn't expect to look up to the sky and make divination everywhere." Lock the door of the office building and go downstairs. There is a dark mass squatting under the canopy outside the building. If you look closely, you realize it's a person. The metropolis is full of arrogant and wealthy people, and there are also people who have been reduced to animals.

Xiao Guo didn't pay much attention, he just stepped out the door. Qiqi concentrated on it and stopped. Xiao Guo stopped and waited for her. At this time, lightning searched the sky like a searchlight, illuminating the doorway, and there was a thunderous thunder, and the beggar was obviously frightened, and he raised his head suddenly. Qiqi looked at his face, and found that it was a beggar woman, shivering, trembling all over, her body was drenched wet. Xiao Guo gently said to Qi Qi: "Let's go, this is a social problem." "No," Qiqi opened her handbag, "give her some money."

"She's going to buy the narcotics right away." "Alright," Qiqi begged, "I can wait till tomorrow." "What difference will it make to her tomorrow?" But Qiqi still took out the money and threw it in front of the beggar woman. When the beggar woman saw the money, she stretched out her hands like chicken claws, grabbed the banknotes tightly, and suddenly became agile in her movements. She stood up like an animal and jumped into the heavy rain, disappearing without a trace in the darkness. Qiqi still stood still, her eyes glazed over, and her thoughts went far and wide.

Xiao Guo said gently: "Let's go, go to my house and have a cup of Irish coffee." Qiqi raised her head, "My mother has been missing for a long time." This was the first time Xiao Guo had mentioned her birth mother since she had known her for two years. Xiao Guo was taken aback, "Don't be afraid, if she is so embarrassed, she will come to you." Qiqi smiled sadly. "Wait a minute, I'll drive the car over." The water couldn't move, and the rain poured down. Such heavy rain is very rare. Qiqi said: "The poor will become beggars when they are so poor."

Xiao Guo persuaded: "As the common saying goes, people have endless aspirations, but it's just a matter of personal willpower. Those who have aspirations can achieve success, and they must struggle to be born. You yourself are the best example." "It's just my luck." Qiqi felt a lot tonight. "Complaining about being poor and showing off with wealth is not the right thing to do." "So, young mentor, what is the best way to live in the world?" "You have already got the essence of it, why ask me." "Xiao Guo, you are really my good friend and confidant."

That night, at Xiao Guo's home, Qiqi cooked simple food, opened a bottle of good wine, and talked about the past with Xiao Guo in detail. "Like a dog, it keeps being born, those who can't be fed are given away, and they are forgotten in a flash, and they are completely indifferent when they see their own children, with a blank face, their eyes roll around, they want money, and they just shout poor every day..." After listening for a long while, Xiao Guo realized that Qiqi was talking about her biological mother, and couldn't help feeling sorry for her. "It's just a matter of seeing how great a mother is," Qiqi smiled, "I've never received maternal love."

Xiao Guo refills her wine. "She disappeared when I was fifteen, and then I went to work in the ballroom and supported the family independently for a few years until my siblings got jobs." "Have you ever seen her?" "No, I don't know where she is. She hasn't come back since she left home." "Qiqi, if you really want to find them, it won't be too difficult. Missing children are mostly dangerous! No one will kidnap the elderly." "Old man? Sixteen years older than me, is forty considered old?" Only forty! "Do you miss her?" Xiao Guo asked. "No, it's just strange. At the beginning, I was just a bunch of cells in her body. After multiplying to what I am today, there should be a chain that tightly binds us together. Other mothers and daughters are connected, but I don't have this kind of connection at all." Feel." Xiao Guo put down the empty wine bottle, "There are also many examples of mother-child discord in the world." "You have come to comfort me again." "I'll clean up the guest room for you. It's raining so hard, so don't go back." There is no romance between Xiao Guo and Qi Qi. The next day the rain stopped. The street has been washed all night, the dirt is gone, and it is as clean as a bluestone slab. There is a coolness in the air, which makes people feel refreshed. Qiqi seems to have completely forgotten what happened last night. Until the weekend, the beggar woman squatted back to her original position, and Qiqi felt the shock again. Qiqi grabbed Xiao Guo, and looked at the man who looked like a mess of rags hesitantly. Xiao Guo knew exactly what she was thinking. He broke her doubts, "Miss, she reappeared not because she remembered you, but because she had begged a huge sum of money here." A plate of cold water was poured down. Sure enough, the beggar woman was in a daze, silently waiting for alms. Passers-by covered their noses in disgust and passed by. Within half a day, the management office called the police to remove her. Qiqi said: "Poor, she must be her mother." "That's not necessarily the case, but it must be someone else's daughter." "If you think about it like this, life is meaningless." "Only those who have done their best to live are qualified to say that." Qiqi was silent. "Do you have a picture of your mother?" Qiqi nodded, "There was only one photo. One day, the neighbor in the next room bought a new camera. After taking the photo, he didn't have time to develop it, so he took the leftover negatives and took pictures for us." "Where are your siblings?" Xiao Guo asked. "There are four in total, two are given to others for adoption, and two are brought up by me." "You should be very close." But they never came to Qiqi. "But born in that kind of place, everyone is eager to forget everything about the past, and my sister is also a part of their past, so even I am also forgotten." Xiao Guo sighed infinitely. Fortunately, God also made up for Qiqi, she has everything now. Qiqi brought an old photo, which has faded. To Xiao Guo's surprise, Qiqi's mother is not a thug with a fleshy face. On the contrary, she has a beautiful face, and Qiqi can be said to be like her. Just relying on an old photo, it is difficult for Detective Guo to do it. "Where's your father, do you have any contact with him?" "Don't worry, he will appear regularly, and he will never let me go," Qiqi added, "There are so many children, only I am willing to see him." "If you don't mind, Qiqi, do you have the same father?" "I have no idea." Qiqi is distressed. Qiqi spread her hands, "Look at how unreliable my life experience is." "Come on, come on," Xiao Guo smiled, "don't feel sorry for yourself, today, your life experience is your achievement, and the rest will not be counted or deducted. What is your family background?" "Xiao Guo, if everyone in the world is like you, the world will be peaceful." "Qiqi, why do you care about people who are not like me?" Qiqi was suddenly moved, stepped forward lightly, hugged Xiao Guo, and buried her head in his chest. In the days that followed, Xiao Guo intentionally or unintentionally waited for Qiqi's biological father to appear. Xiao Guo remembered him. Like a mouse, scurrying around in the dark night, waiting for Qiqi outside the dance hall, asking her daughter for the hard-earned money she earned. It takes a lot of courage to do such a shameless thing in imagination, but he is so effortless, which is really enviable. Of course Xiao Guo recognized this person. Once or twice when he came to the door of the detective agency, Qiqi only dared to tell him that she worked as an operator in the agency. It is said that he immediately said contemptuously: "It's only a little bit of money." He took the money and left. The more sloppy you are, the more you look down on people. The more clown you are, the more you like to play tricks on people. Qiqi said: "After I stopped dancing, he looked down on me." Xiao Guo talked with experts, and they all agreed that it is not easy to find a down-and-out nameless middle-aged woman, and the only way may be to search for her in the newspaper. Xiao Guo thinks it's not feasible, so Qiqi definitely doesn't want to show off. It is best to bury the things of the past in the soil. Once dug up, snakes, insects, rats and ants will definitely be brought out, which will definitely cause unpleasantness. That being said, Xiao Guo still secretly investigated. One afternoon, Qiqi went to have her hair done, and the secretary said someone was looking for Qiqi outside. Xiao Guo replied casually, "She's not here." "That gentleman must see her, or he won't leave." Xiao Guo's heart skipped a beat. He walked to the reception desk and saw that it was indeed Qiqi's biological father. coming. It was the first time for Xiao Guo to take a closer look at him. He was very tall and thin, with a turmeric complexion, weed-like hair, golden teeth that are rarely seen nowadays, protruding cheekbones, and a lack of energy. It is not difficult to find unskilled workers at a young age, but it is difficult to say that everyone has his own ambitions. "Qiqi isn't here." Xiao Guo said lightly, "What's the matter?" "Who are you, her boss?" The man stood up and asked bluntly. Xiao Guo nodded understandably. "She owes me money." "How much do you owe?" Seeing that Xiao Guo was willing to bargain with him, the man became more courageous. After thinking about it, the lion opened his mouth, "30,000." Xiao Guo took out 1,000 yuan and put it on the table, "If you can answer my question, feel free to take the money." "What's the problem, Qiqi is indeed my own." He held out his hand. "Wait a minute," Xiao Guo pressed the money, "Where's Qiqi's mother." "Huh, how do I know." "You didn't ask her for money?" Xiao Guo asked skillfully. "She asked someone to drive me away──" One sentence revealed confidentiality. Xiao Guo still wanted to ask, but Qiqi had already returned, and Xiao Guo let go of his hand, and he snatched the banknotes. Qiqi came over and asked her biological father angrily, "What are you doing?" He ignored Qiqi, pushed her away, and rushed out the door. Qiqi asked Xiao Guo: "It's none of your business, why did you give him money?" Xiao Guo was silent. Qiqi sneered, "Are you doing this for my own good?" Xiao Guo said, "Let's talk again after your anger subsides." Qiqi didn't talk to Xiao Guo for seven or eight days, and Xiao Guo let her go. He still poured tea for her, and she still answered the phone for him, but she just didn't talk. This was the first cold war between them, and they had never tried it before. Silence has become a habit, but it has produced a lot of tacit understanding. Many times, Xiao Guo only needs to raise his eyes, and Qi Qi knows what he wants. This makes Xiao Guo understand that it is impossible for him to find a partner who is more compatible than Qi Qi. He took advantage of this period of silence to think about the relationship between the two of them. Xiao Guo is very emotional, feelings are born unconsciously, and losing Qiqi will cause great trauma in his life. One evening, the secretary answered the phone, "Mr. Guo, the second line." As soon as Xiao Guo picked up the microphone, he heard a sneaky voice: "Are you Xiao Guo?" Who could this be? "Your honorable name?" Intuitively, Xiao Guo knew something was wrong, and quickly closed the door. Over there laughed several times, "I am Qiqi's father." Oh, it's delivered to your door. Xiao Guo knows how to deal with this kind of people too well. He has been negotiating with people from various religions and nine streams since he was a child. Sure enough, there was no sound, and there was a hurry. "Xiao Guo, if you want to know Qiqi's life experience, I can provide information, but you have to pay." Xiao Guo couldn't help but satirize him: "Is there anything you won't betray?" He didn't mind, "Mr. Guo, how do you know the suffering of the poor." "I see that you are very proud of being poor, and you have no intention of changing the status quo for the time being. You are used to being poor every day, and you will feel sad if you lose your privileges." "Xiao Guo, don't gossip, let's talk about business." "How many?" "Thirty thousand." "The number is too large." "Xiao Guo, if you think it's worth it, things will definitely surprise you." The obscenity of his tone made Xiao Guo not want to continue talking to him, "Three thousand, not even a son." "Xiao Guo, you are a big bully." "Really, you can call after you think it over." "Hey Hey hey." Xiao Guo had already hung up the phone. Even if he doesn't volunteer himself, this kind of person can sell anyone, including himself, for a little bit of profit, and he has no shame. Xiao Guo let out a long breath, went to a nearby flower stall, bought a large bouquet of tulips, put them in a crystal bottle, and held them in front of Qiqi. Qiqi still didn't soften, she looked at him quietly, and didn't speak. Xiao Guo didn't ask her to make peace with him. If there is something in her heart, she can show it in her face. She is honest and honest. She is willing to get angry with you to save face. Only twenty-four hours later, the call came again. "Xiao Guo, I'm at the coffee shop on the corner. You bring three thousand yuan in cash and come right away. Those who are late will make mistakes." Xiao Guo immediately went out. Qiqi's father flinched on the coffee seat. He has a fixed posture pattern, sitting without sitting, shaking all over his body, either shaking his legs, shaking his hands, or laughing wildly, showing his golden teeth and saliva Xingzi. Xiao Guo sat opposite him patiently. "Where's the money?" He looked like he knew the taste. "Tell me, what is your last name and what is your name?" He was startled, as if he had heard the strangest question of this century, and after thinking for a long time, he answered, "My surname is Liu." Liu, Qiqi's surname is Liu. Immediately, Mrs. Liu became impatient, "You don't care what my name is, just bring me the money first." "One thousand here, please lead the way." "No, pay first." Liu was very tough this time, "It's already cheap for you. I'll wait for the money, otherwise I won't let you pick this cheap price." Xiao Guo looked into his dim eyes. After a while, he put the money in front of him, and he put the money in his pocket with satisfaction. "follow me." They hailed a streetcar and drove to a moderate residential area. Xiao Guo patiently watched him make some mysteries. Halfway through the car, Mrs. Liu ordered the driver to drive elsewhere, and Xiao Guo let him dictate, the more unhappy you are, the happier he is, why bother to satisfy him. Sure enough, he was tired and re-named an address. Right this time, Xiao Guo thought, this is a red-light district in disguise, full of small pornographic establishments. Xiao Guo is melancholy, is it possible that Qiqi's biological mother is still making a living in this kind of place?Not too young wow. I really don't understand how a snow-white lotus can grow out of this kind of mud. The car came to a side street and stopped. When they got out of the car, Mrs. Liu looked up and pointed to a purple plastic light box with a red border, on which was written: Phoenix Massage. "Go up by yourself." Shi Liu shrank her neck. "Wait a minute, do you want to go?" Xiao Guo grabbed him with judo techniques. Liu cried out in pain, "Brother, if she sees me, she will yell and kill me. It's useless for me to go up with you." "Who should I call?" "Look for the boss lady." "Don't try to lie to me." As soon as Xiao Guo let go, Mrs. Liu seemed to run away. Xiao Guo has a sixth sense, and this bum seems to be telling the truth this time. He walked slowly to the massage parlor, and immediately a waitress came out to greet him. "I want to see your boss lady." "The proprietress has long since ceased to do so." "I'm her old friend. My surname is Guo. Please let me know that I know Qiqi very well." The waitress walked away hesitantly. After a while she came out with a completely different attitude, and said to Xiao Guo: "Please come here." Xiao Guo followed her into a small room, and there was another room inside the room. The door was hung with an old-fashioned bead curtain, and a woman was vaguely sitting inside. The woman said in a deep voice, "Stop." Xiao Guo had no choice but to stand outside the curtain. "Sit down." The woman ordered again. Xiao Guo felt that he was a bit like a lap dog, forget it, for the sake of Qiqi, he had the right to be patient, and he sat down on the stool. This woman learned from Empress Dowager Cixi to listen to politics behind a curtain. "Do you know Qiqi?" Xiao Guo nodded, even through the curtain, Xiao Guo noticed that the woman had sparkling eyes, she should see that Xiao Guo was not talking nonsense. Sure enough, she believed Xiao Guo, "How is Qi Qi?" She asked Xiao Guo. "Tory, it's not bad." "Then why doesn't she come to see me?" Xiao Guo was greatly surprised, "She knows your whereabouts?" The woman sneered, "Is she pretending to be a lady in front of you, or Miss Qianjin? She doesn't know, she was born as a massage girl here, didn't she tell you?" Xiao Guo was in a daze. "Then, has Qiqi ever told you that she cursed at her birth mother, saying that she would rather be a beggar than a butcher?" The woman laughed fiercely, and Xiao Guo's hairs stood on end. He got it, got it all. The woman asked, "What do you want from me?" Xiao Guo stood up, "It's all right." "Want to come and see me," the woman teased, "Want to know what my mother-in-law looks like?" "Sorry for interrupting." Xiao Guo withdrew. "Greetings to my precious daughter for me, she is so good at jumping out of the fire pit, it's better to stand on dry ground for the rest of her life." Xiao Guo staggered a little as he left that terrifying place. How much Qiqi has started to massage female career, twelve, thirteen? It was a sunny day, but Xiao Guo felt that the sunshine was a little out of standard. For such a mother, it is better to treat her as missing. Lost forever, never to be found again. Back at the detective agency, Xiao Guo sat down slumped. Someone poured out a cup of brandy and placed it in front of Xiao Guo, who knew it was Qiqi without looking up. Qiqi said softly, "You look like a zombie ghost." "Really." Xiao Guo touched his face. "What scene have you never seen before, why are you so scared?" Xiao Guo couldn't answer. All he knew was that Qiqi had resumed diplomatic relations with him, everything was safe and nothing had happened. "Rest more, worry less, and your spirit will naturally improve." "Thanks for all the advice, give me another drink and fill it up." Qiqi shook her head and went to do serious business. Xiao Guo doesn't plan to tell about the Phoenix massage parlor, never.He will bury it in his heart forever. Regardless of Qiqi's life experience, it will not affect their relationship. The mother in the old photos is no longer her mother in real life, poor Qiqi. The weather is getting hotter. There are still aftermath about this matter. Xiao Guo received another call. "Xiao Guo, my surname is Liu." Xiao Guo knew who he was as soon as he heard it, and kept silent. "Have you seen the proprietress? Is it worth three thousand dollars?" He smiled. "Their mother and daughter have cut off contact for several years. Qiqi loves to tell people that her biological mother has disappeared, but she can't hide it from you. You really have one." The way is to reveal her hole card." "What else do you have to say?" Xiao Guo couldn't hide his dislike for this person. "It's like this, Xiao Guo, I accidentally rummaged through things and found out that Qiqi took some old photos when she was doing massage at the massage parlor. It's a bit cheaper. It's 5,000 yuan in total. I'll sell them all to you. There are two very good ones. .” "I do not want." "What, you have already dumped her," infinitely regretful, as if losing a source of income, "You don't want her anymore?" "Listen, don't call again in the future, and don't come to Qiqi again, or you may break a bone in a certain part of your body." "What," the man yelled, extremely aggrieved, "I am Qiqi's biological father, why can't I see her?" "Qiqi has neither a biological father nor a biological mother. This is her background." "So, where does she come from?" Xiao Guo refused to pester him, and put down the phone with a snap. Where does Qiqi come from?On a thunderstorm night, she was conceived by gathering the aura of heaven and earth. Qiqi has already repaid the couple early in the morning, without delay or debt, she is a free agent. He raised his voice, "Qiqi, it's a holiday in the afternoon, let's have afternoon tea." "Heh," Qiqi said, "It's such a rare grace, why are you so happy." "It's worth celebrating if we live a healthy and happy life." Xiao Guo smiled and took Qiqi's hand.
