Chapter 1862: Staying behind closed doors
Children’s issues are the most important.

Cat abuse and lying again
The woman placed her hands on her knees with her fingers together, and the veins on the back of her hands were faintly visible.

she doesn't believe
Was the child’s expression of remorse at that time fake?
If it's fake...

Why couldn't she see any clues?
The woman looked at the man.

Seeing that the man was confused, she looked at the child's room again.

The man then stood up suddenly.

The biggest reason why he insisted on having the conversation at home was to verify with the person involved.

It was just the child's unexpected behavior that upset his mood.

He forgot for a moment.

"Dong dong~"

The man knocked on the door a few times and then reached out to open it.

But then the feeling in his hand told him that the door was locked.

The man turned his head and looked at the woman in surprise, "The door is locked."

The woman stood up.

He also walked to the door of the child's room.

She first tried turning the doorknob, and when she found that the door was indeed locked, the woman's heart skipped a beat.

Although she knew that the old man was not lying
After all, they have no grudges against the old man and they have always gotten along well. What reason does the old man have to lie to them?
But she hoped that what the old man said was false.

At least that's just the surface.

She was willing to believe that everything the child did had his reasons.

Or maybe there is a reason why the child is avoiding going out now?
Women and children come out.

"Dong dong~"

"Little Horse."

The woman called out the child's name.

"Why did you lock the door?"

"come out."

"Mom and Dad want to ask you something."

"Little horse, little horse."

"Xiao Ji!"

The child's lack of response made the woman, who was already a little irritated, even more anxious.

"come out!"

The man grabbed the woman's arm.

"Little Horse."

The man's voice was steady.

But his face didn't look good.

The child behaved very impolitely in front of outsiders.

You know, there are not only their family in this house now, but also two elderly people next door and a strange young man.

"What do you look like?"

"come out."

"Let's talk face to face if there's anything."

"Xiao Ji!"

The man's voice became more severe.

There seemed to be some noise in the room.

When the two of them listened carefully, they could hear nothing.

"what happened?"

The woman couldn't help but murmur.

You know, this kid is actually a little afraid of his father.

of course.

Most children are afraid of an angry dad.

This is not surprising.

Whenever the father loses his temper, the child will always obey.

This time, the anger in the child's father's words was so obvious...

But the child still didn't do what they asked.

"dong dong dong~"

The man suddenly raised his hand and hit the door hard several times.

The heavy force caused the door panel to make a loud noise.

Everyone was a little startled.

"what are you doing?"

The woman stroked her chest and glared at the man unhappily.

"Thank you."

The old lady turned around and smiled gratefully at Xiao Xiao.

If Xiao Xiao hadn't been quick enough to hold her hand with one hand and pull the cup out of her hand with the other, the water in the cup would have spilled onto her hand.

She was also frightened by the sudden loud noise and her whole body trembled.

The cup in his hand almost fell over.

"Xiao Feng."

The old lady looked at the man, "Be patient with the child."

"Don't be so impatient."

"If the child is frightened by you, won't he be even more afraid to come out?"

A somewhat forced smile appeared on the man's face.

But he was really a little impatient.

The child's rare willfulness made him furious.

Especially the child’s behavior is a slap in the face of the couple.

They all believe in children.

They are not happy with the elderly who come to their house with an expression that they are doing good for them, but actually say that their children are not good. Who can be happy?

As a result, the child's behavior in the next second verified that what the old man said was very likely true.

The child lied to them.

However, they, as the child's parents, did not know the truth of the matter until the other party came to their door.

Are there any parents as shameful as them?
"Do you have a key to the child's room?"

The man looked at the woman.

The woman frowned and thought for a while, then said uncertainly, "I think so."

"I'll try and find it."

Before she finished her words, the woman hurried towards the master bedroom.

"Feng Ji."

The man called out the child's full name.

"Please wait a moment."

Xiao Xiao spoke.

The man looked at Xiao Xiao in surprise.

He almost forgot this person existed.

"Don't tell the kids yet that you're going to look for his room key."

Xiao Xiao said softly.

"for-"

The man was about to blurt out his doubts when he was about to do so.

The next second, his voice stopped abruptly.

He thought he understood the young man's concerns.

"You mean"

"Just to be on the safe side."

The corners of Xiao Xiao's mouth rose slightly.

The man's expression became even uglier.

"This is the fourth floor."

he murmured.

Xiao Xiao didn't say anything.

He said it was just to be on the safe side.

"What kind of riddle are you talking about?"

The old lady looked at the man and then at the young man beside her.

She pulled Xiao Xiao's arm.

"Why can't the old woman understand?"

"Old man."

The old lady turned her head and looked at the old man, "Do you understand?"

"No."

The old man shook his head.

"It's no use."

The old lady looked disgusted.

Old man:
Didn’t this old woman not understand either?
You have the nerve to talk about him.

"nothing."

Seeing the old lady's insistence, Xiao Xiao smiled slightly, "I'm just worried that the child will be too scared and do irrational things."

"Irrational behavior?"

The old lady repeated subconsciously.

"Out the window."

Xiao Xiao’s words made the two old men’s eyes widen.

"How can it be?!"

“This is the fourth floor!”

the old lady exclaimed.

The old man hurriedly reminded the old lady, "Hey, I told you to speak softly."

"What if the children hear it?"

The old lady quickly closed her mouth.

After a few seconds, she asked quietly, "Is it really possible?"

"do not know."

Xiao Xiao shook his head.

"It's just a possibility."

"oh oh."

The old lady nodded.

"That child won't be so desperate. It's too dangerous..."

"This matter is not that big of a deal..."

"He just needs to admit his mistake and promise not to make the same mistake again..."

The old lady muttered.

If the child really did something dangerous on impulse, and if something happened as a result, she would not be at peace for the rest of her life.

"It's fine."

The old man patted the old lady on the shoulder.

"Didn't Xiao Xiao ask Xiao Feng not to tell the kids that they were looking for the room key?"

"Ah."

The old lady responded softly.

"Grandma Zhang, drink some water."

Xiao Xiao handed the cup of water that he had just taken from the old man back to the old man.
