Chapter 294 Red Wine
"My father..." Li Qingqing's face changed slightly, "My impression of him is still when he bought me candy. He suddenly disappeared when I was five or six years old. It was a huge blow to me.
My mother said that I was seriously ill at that time."
Li Qingqing felt slightly sad.
Bai Xiaomo thought for a moment and asked, "Do you want to find him?"
"Can I still find him? It has been fifteen years and there is no trace. My brother said he might have had an accident..." Li Qingqing lowered her eyes.
Bai Xiaomo reached out to hold Li Qingqing's hand and spoke slowly, "There are many things. Although the facts may be like this, I still want to know the reasons."
Li Qingqing was slightly startled. She raised her eyes and looked at Bai Xiaomo, who was younger than herself. What she just said echoed in her mind. Yes, even if the result is like this, you still have to know the reason.
Why did my father disappear? Why did he abandon them? Was it because of necessity or...
Li Qingqing's eyes slowly became firm, "Xiao Mo, you are right, I should find out."
Bai Xiaomo nodded, feeling a sense of guilt for Li Qingqing in her heart. She would definitely try her best to find Li Cheng. No matter whether she was alive or dead, she would tell Li Qingqing the news about him.
"It's just Xiao Mo, it's been so many years, can we still find my father?" Li Qingqing said a little discouraged.
Bai Xiaomo looked at her, "You have to try hard. No matter what the result is, it will be good."
Li Qingqing nodded, and then said with some emotion, "You are obviously younger than me, but you are so strong inside. Xiao Mo, you are so awesome."
Bai Xiaomo smiled, if she could, who would want to be so powerful? She also wanted to be a little girl who never knew the world...
"Tell me what you know and I'll record it for my friend who is a private detective." Bai Xiaomo took out his cell phone and turned on the recording.
Li Qingqing nodded and tried to remember, "I remember my father brought back a document bag before he disappeared. He told my mother that our life was about to get better."
"Originally I didn't remember this incident. On my father's birthday last year, my mother drank too much and talked about it. Then I remembered that my father might be checking someone, and the client might have paid a high salary."
Bai Xiaomo listened carefully without interrupting Li Qingqing, but she thought of another possibility. Li Cheng found out someone else's secret, and he wanted to use it to blackmail him and make a fortune.
"I can't remember anything anymore." Li Qingqing frowned and thought for a while, then said in a depressed tone, "Xiao Mo, my mother and elder brother don't want me to mention my father. They never tell me, and they don't allow me to ask. I don't want my mother.
I wasn't happy with my eldest brother, so I didn't mention it again. Occasionally they would talk about it in private, but as soon as I showed up, they would stop talking about it immediately."
Li Qingqing looked at Bai Xiaomo, sighed and said, "I know my mother and elder brother wanted to protect me, so they didn't tell me anything. They didn't want me to feel sad."
"Qingqing, since your eldest brother doesn't want you to find your father, don't tell your brother until we have clues about this matter." Bai Xiaomo thought for a while and said.
Li Qingqing nodded, "Xiao Mo, since you saved me, I have trusted you very much. I only dare to tell you these words. I always feel that my father is still alive..."
Bai Xiaomo's fingertips trembled, and she also felt that Li Cheng might still be alive.
"No matter what, I want to see my father and confirm his news." Li Qingqing suddenly said firmly.
Bai Xiaomo nodded, "I will ask my friends to try their best to help."
"Thank you, Xiao Mo." Li Qingqing said gratefully, "I came out with you to talk about my business. Let's add some more dishes. You're welcome. By the way, have you ever drank red wine? I heard that the red wine here is very good.
Not intoxicating yet.”
Bai Xiaomo hesitated for a moment, then nodded. She wanted to visit Li Qingqing's house. If she was drunk, it would be a good opportunity.
"Take a look." Li Qingqing called the waiter to bring the menu.
Bai Xiaomo ordered a bottle of red wine without adding food. She quickly sent a message to Mu Xiaobei and asked him to send her hangover medicine. She had no confidence in her ability to drink.
Mu Xiaobei went out immediately after receiving the message. Tang Yi wanted to follow, but Mu Xiaobei said it was business and would talk to him when he came back.
Although Tang Yi was a little depressed, he had no choice but to agree in order not to delay Mu Xiaobei. Fortunately, all his teachers came with him and they could continue to teach him.
It took half an hour to sober up the red wine, and it took Mu Xiaobei twenty-five minutes. After he arrived, he slipped into the bathroom and waited for Bai Xiaomo.
After Bai Xiaomo received the message, "I'm going to the bathroom."
"Okay." Li Qingqing smiled. She and Bai Xiaomo had a great conversation. They talked about many things. Most of the time, she was talking and Bai Xiaomo was listening. She was curious about Bai Xiaomo's married life. Bai Xiaomo
I also told her that she and her husband are very loving.
Li Qingqing liked and envied Bai Xiaomo, and was full of yearning for love and marriage. However, thinking of her father's disappearance and the bitterness of her mother raising their siblings alone, she hesitated a little.
Bai Xiaomo went to the bathroom, and Mu Xiaobei calculated the right time to pass her by.
"I'll wait for you in the underground parking lot. Give me information where to go and I'll follow you." Mu Xiaobei whispered, then put the medicine into Bai Xiaomo's hand.
"Yeah." Bai Xiaomo went into the bathroom and took medicine before returning to Li Qingqing.
The waiter came over and poured drinks for the two of them.
Li Qingqing mustered up the courage to take a big sip, "Well, it tastes pretty good."
Bai Xiaomo smiled and took a sip, "It's really good."
The two were chatting and drinking, and unknowingly finished the bottle. Li Qingqing was also drunk. She pulled Bai Xiaomo and her words could no longer be understood clearly, "Qingqing, you drank too much, I will take you home."
Bai Xiaomo asked the waiter to pay the bill, then helped Li Qingqing walk to the underground parking lot.
Mu Xiaobei saw Bai Xiaomo coming out and immediately went to help.
"Did she drink too much? Are you okay?" Mu Xiaobei asked with concern.
"I'm fine." Bai Xiaomo responded calmly, signaling Mu Xiaobei not to talk any more.
Mu Xiaobei understood it, but felt a little sorry for Bai Xiaomo, whose face turned red.
Two people helped Li Qingqing get into the car.
"Qingqing, where do you live?" Bai Xiaomo asked, sitting next to Li Qingqing. Although Li Qingqing drank too much, she still remembered where her home was.
Mu Xiaobei drove all the way and delivered Li Qingqing to the door of his house.
"I'll take her in." Bai Xiaomo said, helping Li Qingqing go inside.
Mu Xiaobei didn't follow her. He didn't know the girl in front of him, but there must be a reason for Bai Xiaomo to approach her. In order not to hinder Bai Xiaomo, he just waited for her downstairs.
