Chapter 688 A family who is prone to lying
After today's interview, Lu Yaoyao became more and more suspicious of Mrs. Arnold. In fact, from the very beginning, Lu Yaoyao was the Arnold and his wife who were suspicious.A child with little contact with the outside world undoubtedly has the most contact with her family.The relationship between Mrs. Arnold and her neighbors is not good, and the possibility of Margery going to play at her friend's house and encountering an accident is extremely low.

Someone must be lying, and this person is undoubtedly Mrs. Arnold, and she made up an unfounded crazy tramp just to make Lu Yaoyao believe that all of this is a random accident and has nothing to do with her mother.

In fact, Lu Yaoyao didn't think it would be so scary at first, until Mr. Arnold called the police.Before, Lu Yaoyao suggested that Mr. Arnold bring Ella back, saying that it would help Margery to recover, and Mr. Arnold did as well. Until he got a reply from Uncle Ella, he thought that his son was living in someone else’s house .Uncle Ella's reply was like a bolt from the blue, and Mr. Arnold realized that his son had been missing for more than a month, but he didn't realize it.

When the police went to Arnold's house, Lu Yaoyao was squatting nearby—because she suspected Mrs. Arnold, so Lu Yaoyao was always monitoring Mrs. Arnold's words and deeds—then she also joined the crowd, and casually said to the women beside her: "This is What kind of crime did you do, what a disaster-ridden family."

"Yeah, this is the second time the police officers have come to the door."

Lu Yaoyao was a little surprised: "What? This family looks so beautiful." But her reaction just satisfied the woman's desire to show off.

"Who said that when the former Mrs. Arnold died, her natal family suspected that Mr. Arnold killed her daughter, so they went to the police station to call the police, but nothing was found in the end."

"So that's how it is." Lu Yaoyao suddenly felt chills. If Mr. Arnold really committed a crime, what kind of life would Ella, who had disappeared before she met her, live?She continued, "Poor Ella, I hope he is found soon."

"It's probably impossible to find him. He has been missing for a month. It's hard to say whether the child is alive or not. With such a greedy father and a harsh stepmother, Ella might as well leave here forever."

"But Mr. Arnold is very kind to Ella." Lu Yaoyao deliberately spoke ironically to the other party.

"The previous Mrs. Arnold died when she gave birth to Ella. Her rich dowry belonged to Ella. If Mr. Arnold really wanted to get some glory, he had to be nice to Ella. But poor Ella, He is always bruised and bruised. If Mr. Arnold really loves his son, why would he let his wife treat him so harshly?"

Lu Yaoyao originally thought that Mr. Arnold really cared for her children. He was so nervous about his daughter that he called the police as soon as he found his son missing, but the truth of the matter was never what people saw on the surface.

Ella's disappearance and Margerie's eccentricity cast a pall over the family.When Lu Yaoyao came to the door because Arnold's family missed the appointment time, she found that Mr. Arnold seemed to be ten years older.

"Oh, Mr. Arnold, I'm not worried because you didn't bring Margery to the clinic... What's wrong with you?" But Lu Yaoyao knew it well, and she deliberately came to sow discord today, because according to Ella After missing, Lu Yaoyao came up with a very bad inference.

"Sorry, so much has happened at home lately, I forgot to make an appointment...my son Ella is missing."

"Why? Didn't Ella go to my uncle's house?"

"No... When I came back that day, my wife told me that Ella had gone to my uncle's house. I thought Ella was too rude to leave without telling my father. I didn't expect him to run away from home... ..." Mr. Arnold had a vague intention of blaming Mrs. Arnold.

"Thinking about it, the time when Ella left was the same time when Margery became strange." Seeing Mr. Arnold staring closely at her, Lu Yaoyao suddenly realized, "That day Mrs. Arnold told me that a crazy wanderer broke into the garden. Han, did this tramp take Ella away?"

Mr. Arnold couldn't sit still any longer, apologized and went to confront his wife.Perhaps the other party had long suspected that it was his wife who drove his stepson out of the house, or perhaps Mr. Arnold was annoyed that his wife hadn't explained this to the police, but these had nothing to do with Lu Yaoyao.If Mr. Arnold doesn't act, she doesn't mind writing an anonymous report letter to report the abnormality of this family.

When a quarrel broke out in the room, Lu Yaoyao walked briskly to the garden outside.Margery was sitting under the big tree just like last time, but this time she was painting. Lu Yaoyao didn't say anything after walking over, and just watched Margery painting quietly.

The quarrel in the room became louder and louder, and Margery finally couldn't help raising her head and asked, "Are mom and dad quarreling?"

"Adults always like to express their inner feelings with such intense emotions, you don't have to worry." Lu Yaoyao squatted down and touched Margery's soft hair.

Margery did not avoid Lu Yaoyao's touch, but nodded and devoted her mind to the painting.

Margery finally drew a picture of the whole family. The family of three stood under the tree holding hands, with a bird flying around above their heads.

"Your brother doesn't seem to be inside." Lu Yaoyao softly reminded Margery.

"My brother is this little bird. He said he wants to become a bird and be free."

"Well...since the little bird is the elder brother, what about this tree? Is it because the little bird always rests on the tree?"

"No, it's because my brother likes this tree." Margery refuted Lu Yaoyao seriously, "My brother said that this juniper tree is his mother."

Lu Yaoyao paused, she didn't quite understand the child's whimsy, so she simply asked: "Why?"

"My father said that my brother's mother did not leave, and this tree was planted by my brother's mother, so my brother would talk to this tree every time, so that my brother would become happy again."

The immature words of the child are always full of the cruelty of reality. Probably every time Ella suffers from grievances and has nowhere to confide in, she attaches herself to this juniper tree as her mother. Consider it part of your family.

"Well, Ella's mother must have heard what Ella said, so she talked to Ella quietly."

"But mother doesn't like my brother doing this very much."

Lu Yaoyao was stunned. She suddenly remembered that Mrs. Arnold had called her stepson "the devil" before. Is it because Ella seemed to be chattering away when talking to a tree?Lu Yaoyao felt a little angry. If Ella could experience unconditional love, she wouldn't regard a tree as her own relative, but even his only comfort has become Ella's shortcoming.This family is so ridiculous and sad.

When Lu Yaoyao left, the police came to visit again, this time they took Mrs. Arnold away.After Mrs. Arnold left the house, she never came back.
