Chapter 155 Strangers
There is still nothing in the teddy bear, but Meng Gui still recognized it. This should be many years ago... in 1992? The teddy bear he left with Cheng Fei. The chapter is updated the fastest
I just don't know why it is wandering here.
Is this a clue to the task?
Just as Meng Gui was thinking about it, he couldn't think of it. When he was about to start the car and leave, he looked up and saw a seven or eight-year-old girl walking towards him not far away.
The little girl's face was covered with black and gray, like a little beggar, and she could hardly tell her face in the darkness.
Meng Gui sat in the car and didn't go out for the time being. He watched the little girl walk back to the tree and searched around, as if she was looking for something.
"Are you looking for this?"
Meng Gui walked behind the girl, took out the teddy bear and asked her.
"It's mine!" The little girl quickly reached out and snatched the teddy bear, then took a few steps back, and looked at Meng Gui very vigilantly.
"Xiao Ling?" Meng Gui tried to shout to the little girl.
"Who are you?" The little girl looked at Meng Gui in surprise, and then glanced at the distance, as if she was ready to escape at any time.
"My surname is Meng. I am your mother's college classmate. I know your mother's name is Chen Fei. She studied at Tianhu University of Science and Technology, so I know you too. I know your name is Gu Ling. This teddy bear was given to her by your mother when she was in college." Meng Gui said to Xiao Gu Ling.
After hearing Meng Gui's words, Gu Ling became a little hesitant, probably because she didn't know whether she should believe the stranger in front of her.
"Why don't you stay at home? Why are you running outside alone? It's very dangerous outside. Tell me your parents' mobile phone number or home phone number, and I'll call them." Meng Gui asked Gu Ling.
"No! I don't want to go back!" Gu Ling turned her face away with a very aggrieved expression.
"Xiaoling, be obedient, just run out like this, your parents will be very anxious. They are anxious to look for you everywhere. You can't go home this night. If you are hit by a car on the road or something. If you are hurt, you will not regret it in the future." Meng Gui walked over and whispered Gu Ling.
"No, they won't look for me. They don't love me at all." Gu Ling shook her head vigorously, tears slid out of her eyes, and a light white mark burst out from the black and gray on her face.
"Are you hungry? Uncle will take you to eat first?" Meng Guijian couldn't persuade Gu Ling. He could only find a way to get along with her first.
Gu Ling turned around and looked at Meng Gui again vigilantly. It was obvious that she would not easily believe Meng Gui, a stranger.
"When I came here just now, I happened to pass by a man named Mai who was open 24 hours a day. The roasted chicken wings inside were very fragrant and sweet ice cream..." Meng Gui had no choice but to use delicious food to lure Xiao Gu Ling. He knew that children of this age could not withstand this temptation the most.
Moreover, she ran away from home alone and walked so far at night, so she must be cold and hungry now.
Sure enough, Xiao Gu Ling couldn't help swallowing after hearing what Meng Gui said. But she finally shook her head to Meng Gui and refused to get into his car.
Meng Gui couldn't help but complain in his heart... So young... but he is still much stronger than my sister Meng Yi. He can't get into the weird uncle's car!
"Let me go there with you. Anyway, there are only two stops away from here. If you think your uncle is a bad person, you can run away at any time, okay?" Meng Gui discussed with Gu Ling.
Gu Ling finally nodded and walked forward. She obviously knew that the boss Mai, who had only opened for business for 24 hours a day, didn't need Meng Gu to lead the way, so she walked over there herself.
Meng Gui didn't want her to be afraid, so he didn't follow her very closely. He took the bag of money from the car and hung it three or four meters behind him, slowly following Xiao Gu Ling.
Gu Ling held the teddy bear and looked back at Meng Gui from time to time. She probably felt that this uncle might not be a bad person. Her expression slowly relaxed a little, not as nervous as before.
The two of them walked one after another and walked for about half an hour before they arrived at the 24-hour boss Mai. Gu Ling arrived at the door and stopped. When Meng Gui walked over, she followed him into the store.
This McKirchman has just opened its new business and used the 24-hour business as a gimmick, but now there is no business at this time. There is only a few couples sitting in the corner, eating French fries while chatting in a low voice.
"If you want to eat, just order whatever you want. Uncle has money." Meng Gui took Gu Ling to the counter and turned around to ask her.
"We only provide French fries, chicken wings, chicken nuggets, and coke..." The girl at the counter looked at Meng Gui and Gu Ling, who was like a little beggar. I wonder if she suspected that Meng Gui was abducting the little girl, but she did not mean to call the police.
Not all employees go to work after the night, only a few people stay here on duty, so there is a limited variety of food available.
"I want to eat French fries and chicken wings." Gu Ling looked at the counter with her eyes and swallowed her saliva constantly. She looked a little hungry.
Meng Gui took out two hundred-dollar bills, bought a lot of servings of several other varieties, piled up two large plates and brought them on a table and put them down.
When Meng Gui was buying things, Gu Ling went to the bathroom and washed her hands and face. After this, Meng Gui could already recognize the Gu Qin he used to be from her eyebrows.
I still remember... When she was in the teaching building No. 10, she once said that she wanted to treat him to a meal, but Meng Gui really didn't expect that the first time she had a meal with her was like this...
"Can you eat it?" Gu Ling sat down and asked Meng Gui.
"Of course, eat whatever you want." Meng Gui nodded to Gu Ling, then handed a box of chicken wings to Gu Ling.
Seeing her eating the chicken wings in big mouthfuls, Meng Gui suddenly felt a little wet and inexplicably got wet.
"Uncle, don't you eat it?" Gu Ling wiped out a chicken wing and asked Meng Gui.
"Well, I'll eat too." Meng Gui quickly lowered his head and picked up a chicken wing and started eating. He didn't want her to see the wet scene of his eyes.
After eating seven or eight chicken wings, Gu Ling was almost full, so she slowed down and started to deal with small things like fries slowly. At this time, her vigilance towards Meng Gui was basically relaxed, and she even looked at him secretly. After being discovered by Meng Gui, she smiled at Meng Gui.
"Are you full?" Meng Gui asked Gu Ling.
"Well, I'm full, thank you uncle." Gu Ling flatteredly dipped a piece of French fries in tomato sauce and handed them to Meng Gui.
"Uncle won't scold you, but can you tell me about it? Why run away from home? Where are you going in the middle of the night?" Meng Gui ate the fries handed over by Gu Ling, and then asked her.
"My parents always quarrel, especially mother, who has a bad temper. I advised her not to argue, but her mother yelled at me and even beat me... She doesn't love me anymore..." Gu Ling's happy expression became sad again, her eyes turned red, and tears fell.
"It's not that mom doesn't love you. If she doesn't love you, she won't give birth to you. Mom is very tired from work, stressed, and may still have illnesses, so she is so annoyed and always quarreled..." Meng Gui advised Gu Ling. From the last time Cheng Fei drank in a bar, he felt that Cheng Fei was not a responsible mother.
It just made Xiao Gu Ling suffer, and her childhood life was so unhappy.
"Uncle, what should I do if my parents divorce?" Gu Ling asked Meng Gui.
"They don't know." Meng Gui comforted Gu Ling. At least he already knew that in 2007, Gu Ling's parents were still having a divorce, and there were still four years left!
"Really?" Gu Ling looked at Meng Gui with anticipation.
"Yes, they and I were on the phone. They were just quarreling and would not really get divorced. By the way, your mother has depression... a disease that will be angry and unhappy for no reason. Don't care too much when she scolds you. Maybe she is sick, you should make her happy." Meng Gui can only persuade Gu Ling from this aspect now.
"Oh." Gu Ling lowered her head, not knowing what she was thinking.
"Xiaoling, tell uncle where you live? I'll send you home, otherwise your parents would be worried about it." Meng Gui asked Gu Ling again.
Gu Ling just bit the Coke straw with her mouth and hesitated, not replying to Meng Gui's words.
"Xiaoling? Stop being angry, mom will get sick in an emergency." Meng Gui asked Gu Ling again.
"Uncle, you lied to someone just now." Gu Ling muttered and replied to Meng Gui.
"Ah?" Meng Gui was stunned.
"You said you were on the phone with them, why don't you contact them now? And... you don't know where our family lives..." Gu Ling looked up at Meng Gui.
"I didn't bring my phone with you... Moreover, your parents and I haven't met for several years, and I have only contacted you by phone, so I don't know where you live." Meng Gui was sweating and tried hard to fulfill his lies, but he didn't expect she was so smart.
"Okay, I believe you, uncle, you are not a bad person." Seeing Meng Gui's anxious look, Gu Ling smiled at him.
"You little ghost head! You are so stingy!" Meng Gui reached out and tapped Gu Ling's head gently.
"Uncle, what's your surname? Are my mother and I a college classmate?" Gu Ling tilted her head and confirmed Meng Gui's identity.
"My surname is Meng, you can call me Uncle Meng." After Meng Gui said this, he immediately understood why in 2007, Gu Ling saw him calling him Uncle Meng.
"Hello, Uncle Meng." Gu Ling indeed changed her mouth.
