Chapter 12: The Key Woman

“It’s dark, I’ll turn on a light.”

Cheng Li burrowed into Process Ming’s arms and lay on his thighs, creeping forward, his little head poking out from his armpit, lifting his hand to press the switch next to the head of the bed.

“Snap” and the incandescent light on the ceiling came on.

The sudden brightness made both Cheng Ming and Cheng Li feel uncomfortable.

Cheng Li covered her eyes with her hand and stayed in Cheng Ming’s arms for a little longer.

Cheng Ming, on the other hand, closed his eyes just enough to let his sore eyes rest for a while.

After half a minute, the two siblings, acclimatized to the light environment, got down to business.

Cheng Ming continued to knock on the code, while Cheng Li started to write the math homework that he didn’t finish last night.

Cheng Li straightened her body and sat on Cheng Ming’s lap, not moving her position either.

Taking the textbook, pen and workbook, he spread them out on the desk, squeezing Cheng Ming’s mouse and keyboard to one side.

“Xiao Li, can’t you just sit on the chair over there and do your homework?” Cheng Ming said as he lifted his sore thighs.

The desk wasn’t that big, the mainframe and monitor alone took up almost two thirds of the desk, facing the bed, with his back to the door, so that even if Mom and Dad raided, he wouldn’t be seen browsing any colorful web pages.

The empty space on the right desktop is where Cheng Ming usually writes his homework. Mom and Dad can see him reading when they open a crack in the door, and will close the door silently with the idea of not disturbing his studies.

“No, the chair is cold.”

“Your excuse is only about right for winter, it’s May.”

“Even July and August mornings are cold, especially before the sun comes up, ah-choo ……”

Cheng Li gave a very cute fake sneeze and sniffled his little nose.

Cheng Ming could not shoo away his sister and could only let her occupy the position, not to mention knocking on the keyboard to code, with nowhere to put his right hand holding his sister’s thin waist, looking down at her math homework, his left hand pointing to the calculation results and saying, “Xiaoli, is this question wrong?”

“Where did you go wrong, brother you haven’t slept, your eyes are all blurry, how could I possibly go wrong with such a simple giveaway question.”

“The answer should be 71 square meters, right? The equation is right, but the calculation in step 2 is wrong.”

“I’m right, I’ll just do the math again.”

Cheng Li took out his draft paper and just realized that he had miscalculated when he reached the second step.

“This is because I was too sleepy last night and misread the numbers, that’s why it’s wrong.” Cheng Li, whose small face was slightly red, weakly retorted, scratching out the wrong answer, wanting to paint it in a ball of black, and writing the correct answer on the side.

Wouldn’t a couple of slashes be enough for a mistake? It’s not like it’s an unseemly word, it’s necessary to go so far as to break the paper.

“Wooah, finally finished writing, so tired ……”

Cheng Li stretched a big waist, turned his shoulders and leaned on Cheng Ming’s chest and asked, “Brother, did you stay up all night?”

“Uh, what’s wrong?”

“Then why don’t you get some sleep, you’ll be out of breath for class today.”

Cheng Li turned his body, face to face with Cheng Ming, violently shook Cheng Ming’s body and said, “And then was called up by the teacher to ask questions, my brother did not know what to ask, was scolded by the teacher, called the parents to the school, and ultimately mom and dad found out that my brother had finished stealing the computer in the middle of the night, that you moved out of this room.”

Why are you still obsessing about moving rooms? You’re 100% going to lose energy in class today.

After the all-nighter, Cheng Ming was a bit light-headed, and after being pushed and pulled back and forth a few times by Cheng Li, his body fell backward, and the back of his head slammed into the soft pillows.

“I’m afraid to sleep, what if I oversleep?”

Cheng Ming is now afraid of a sleep until noon, the morning class is all skipped, this is not a university ah, but junior high school, or junior high school exams before the critical period.

Cheng Ming was also not one of those honor students who got a guaranteed spot in high school and could apply not to go to school, the consequences would be troublesome.

“Isn’t that what I’m here for? I can wake up brother.” Cheng Li patted her nearly flat chest and said with her head held high.

“Really? Not going to oversleep together, are we?”

“I’ve slept all night, I’ve had a full night’s sleep, I’m not sleepy anymore, okay, brother, you’re going to sleep, right now, right now.”

“I’m not a pig, how can I just say I’m sleeping, don’t sit on my body and move around, how can this make me sleep.”

At this point in her life, my sister was still a bit jumpy in nature and ignorant of many things.

He’s even more oblivious to the boundaries between siblings and twists his little butt in that position.

If you boki in a place like this, your brother’s career is over.

“Hush Hush ……”

Cheng Li started whistling, Cheng Ming didn’t feel like sleeping at all, but had the urge to pee.

Cheng Ming heard the tune his sister was blowing, she was blowing the Schubert lullaby, trying to lull Cheng Ming to sleep, this tune was used by mom when she was a child to lull them to sleep.

“I know, I know, I know, I’ll sleep all right, you stop sleeping.”

Cheng Ming obediently closed his eyes.

“That’s more like it, don’t do any more all-nighters in the future, or I’ll tell mom and dad.” Cheng Li clapped his hands and said.

Can you do something new? Is snitching the only thing the little girls around you can do?

“You need to cover up before you go to sleep, you’ll catch a cold.”

Cheng Li pulled the quilt aside and lay on his side beside Cheng Ming, covering it along with his own body.

Thin quilt, slightly cool morning, the warmth of the quilt as if there is some kind of magic, tiredness surged up again, eyelids are fighting, want to sleep a back to sleep the desire is unprecedentedly strong.

“Well …… I’ll just sleep a little longer too, just ten minutes, just ten minutes, ten minutes to get up and brush my teeth and wash my face and then go watch cartoons on the on-demand channel.”

Cheng Li pillow in Cheng Ming’s arm sound asleep, Cheng Ming side is not dare to sleep and do not want to sleep, fake sleep for ten minutes to open their eyes.

Cheng Ming moved his arm to get up, intending to go pee.

Cheng Ming has an obsessive-compulsive disorder in general, that is, before going to bed, he must go to the toilet once to empty his bladder before going to bed, otherwise he will toss and turn and lose sleep.

By the way, I’ll clean up the living room again. The living room should be a mess after the parents’ fight, and I don’t know if my mom in a state of rage has the heart to clean it up, but most likely she doesn’t.

If his sister saw the misery in the living room, Cheng Ming’s lie that his parents’ fight was a dream would be instantly punctured.

So Cheng Ming was going to clean up the mess his parents had left behind first.

Cheng Ming pushed the door out, the scene was a little better than he had imagined, there were quite a few glass shards and broken porcelain pieces scattered on the floor.

Dad’s ashtray and drinking glass were a pile of detritus, and the remote control was thrown on the floor, the back cover flying out and the batteries rolling to nowhere.

Cheng Ming carefully took a broom and dustpan to clean up the debris, only to find a photo mixed in with the trash.

“This photo is ……”

Cheng Ming picked up the photo and patted the dust on it, the photo was of his dad and a young woman.

There’s no cuddling together, no kissing, not even a shirtless hemming and hawing photo, just shoulders touching, and that’s who Dad’s cheating on, to say that the only suspicious thing is that Dad’s looking at this woman.

Mom’s not going to say Dad’s cheating on her just based on this one picture, is she?

Cheng Ming found another envelope on the sofa with a stack of photos piled inside, and a few photos on the coffee table.

Basically all of the dad and the woman, together wearing helmets to inspect the construction site, the woman down the stairs about to fall by the dad to help, this photographer’s skills can ah, so a moment of action can be captured.

The last photo is the most explosive, and I guess it’s the one that completely ignited mom’s anger.

The light was dim, and by looking at the background you could tell it was in some nightclub or ktv, with the drunken dad holding this woman in one arm and the young, beautiful ktv princess in the other.

Basically sure that these photos were taken by Ye Binsong, did not expect to use this kind of underhanded tactics, so that Dad messed up his mind, family matters can not deal with, let alone the company’s business.

The more Cheng Ming looked at this woman, the more familiar she looked, he suddenly remembered where he had seen this woman, on the news.

Pushed downstairs by the URA’s director’s wife, mistress Shen Xiao, fell all flesh blurred all mosaic pictures.

In Shen Shin’s relics found a large amount of evidence of embezzlement by the director, when there was also an unidentified large sum of money transferred to Uncle Lin’s payroll card number, and this money was transferred by Shen Shin, and the relics have a clear record of the remittance.

Uncle Lam, who has just been promoted to a higher position, is believed to be the Director’s co-conspirator, and the two of them are arrested and imprisoned together, only to be cleared of their wrongdoings years later.

Isn’t this person the mistress of that director? Why is she hooking up with her dad again?

And drag Uncle Lin down with you?

It was all doubtful, but Cheng Ming knew that as long as he found this person, there would be a way to break the situation, and no matter if it was a tragedy in his own family or Lin Jingyi’s family, it would never happen again.
