Bian Jie took a sip of her drink before speaking again, "Mr. Yuan, you suddenly appeared and came to our house again. Can I ask, what are your plans? Do you want Xiaoyuan to recognize you as your father?"
Of course Yuan Shuo thought that this was his and Bian Ting's child. Of course he wanted Bian Jinyuan to call him father, but he turned to look at Bian Jinyuan.
Bian Jinyuan sat calmly and looked at him silently. There was no turbulence in his eyes, and there was no trace of touch.
When he heard about Bian Jinyuan from Lu Xiangming's mouth, he didn't know what his character was. He just heard Lu Xiangming say that he was sensible, obedient, helpful, and a good boy. At that time, he thought Bian Jinyuan was gentle and introverted. However, after he met Bian Jinyuan and had a conversation with him, he realized that he was completely wrong.
Bian Jinyuan is indeed sensible, obedient, or helpful, but he is a very mature or even too mature child. He has his own ideas and opinions. He is arrogant than himself and Bian Ting. For him, many things simply cannot enter his eyes, let alone his heart.
Yuan Shuo thought about a hundred scenarios of meeting with Bian Jinyuan, a hundred kinds of expressions Bian Jinyuan would have when he saw him, he had thought that he would be angry, resentful, happy, or disappointed. But there is absolutely no one who is indifferent, but Bian Jinyuan looks at himself like this, without any fluctuation, as if what he heard was not that I was your father, but that I was just asking for directions.
Yuan Shuo had never seen or understood such a child, so he didn't know whether Bian Jinyuan was willing to recognize him as a father.
"Are you willing to recognize me as a father?" Yuan Shuo asked him.
When Bian Jie heard the words, she also turned to look at him.
Before she left, Bian Ting left a letter to her son and also to her sister. The letter said: If he met Yuan Shuo before he was 16 years old, then you can give him some Suggestion; if he meets Yuan Shuo after the age of 16, then it is up to him to make the decision, you just need to support him.
In two months, Bian Jinyuan will be 18 years old, so he can make the decision now.
Bian Jinyuan felt the eyes of the two adults, and said indifferently, "I don't need it."
He looked at Yuan Shuo, his words were as calm as his expression, "I'm living well now, and I don't need the existence of my father. You can talk to me if you want; you can also see me if you want; but let me call you Dad, or go back to your house with you, I don't think it's necessary."
"I don't hate you, but I can't have any other feelings for you. Mr. Yuan, I don't want to be called a passer-by's father, and I don't want to live with a passer-by. I think you can understand this."
Yuan Shuo nodded slowly, "Yes."
"But we can get in touch slowly and get to know each other," he said.
"However, I'm not curious about you, and I don't want to know about your past and future." Bian Jinyuan said indifferently.
Yuan Shuo was silent and looked at him quietly.
"That's it." Bian Jinyuan smiled and poured himself a drink, "In the past few years, we had no intersection, did not interfere with each other, and had a good life with each other. How about this."
"How can this work," Yuan Shuo disagreed, "I didn't know about your existence before, but now, since I know your existence, how could I ignore you."
Bian Jie laughed and interrupted, "Let me remind you, Mr. Yuan, when I asked you whether you would get married in the future, you said that you will wait until later, which also means that you have the possibility of getting married in the future. So , do you plan to leave Xiaoyuan alone, watching your new family happily? Do you think this is appropriate?"
Yuan Shuo put his eyes back on her and said solemnly, "If Xiaoyuan is willing to recognize me, and if he doesn't like it, I can always be single."
Bian Jie nodded, "Also, Mr. Yuan, a person who loves freedom so much, is probably what Mr. Yuan wants most without getting married like this."
Yuan Shuo was helpless, "Xiao Jie..."
"I'm not that familiar with Mr. Yuan. Mr. Yuan can call me by my full name."
Hara:…
Yuan Shuo felt that his sister-in-law was different from what he heard! Bian Ting clearly said that her sister is gentle and considerate, but how can this be gentle and considerate? !
"Bian Jie," Yuan Shuo said again, "I admit that in the previous relationship with your sister, it was my fault. I didn't tell your sister at the beginning that I didn't plan to get married, so I delayed her. However, I didn't know that your sister was pregnant with Xiaoyuan and gave birth to him. If your sister told me about this at the time, if I knew about Xiaoyuan's existence, I would not let her take her alone. children's."
Bian Jie sneered and wanted to say something, but she didn't say anything. She turned to look at Bian Jinyuan and whispered, "Xiaoyuan, go buy a bottle of wine, there is no wine at home, buy a bottle of wine and come back to entertain Mr. Yuan."
Bian Jinyuan knew that she intended to support herself, so she responded, stood up, and walked out of the room.
Bian Jie waited until Bian Jinyuan left, guessing that he should not be able to hear it, and then said, "Of course you won't, you will let her kill the child before the child is born. This is what you will do, no ?"
Yuan Shuo knew from the first time Bian Jie opened his mouth that it was a Hongmen banquet, and Bian Jie set up such a Hongmen banquet to settle accounts for her sister Qiuhou. It's just because Bian Jinyuan is there, he can't talk about many things. Now that Bian Jinyuan is gone, he has no scruples, and simply told her about the events of the year.
"Everything you say is based on what I know, but the truth is, I don't know anything at all! When I was with your sister, we didn't want to get pregnant so early. At that time, your sister and I've only just graduated from college for a year, and your sister doesn't want to have a baby so early, and neither do I, so we've been using contraception. So I didn't even know she was pregnant!"
"Later we had a quarrel because of conceptual problems. She said at the time that we broke up, and I said we should calm down again. I thought it was an ordinary spat, but she left. She walked so neatly and didn't say anything, Nothing was taken, and when I found out she was gone, I didn't even know where she went."
"But you didn't look for her, did you? You have her phone number and her contact information, but you didn't call her to find her, did you?"
"I thought about looking for her, but I found out what to say to her, say let's get married? I can't do it. Say we continue to fall in love like this? She won't agree. So, even if I find her, what's the use, She wouldn't go on with me in an unmarried relationship, and I couldn't give her a marriage commitment at that age. There was no way I could go to her."
"Since you can't give her a promise about marriage, why are you trying to provoke her again?" Bian Jie said angrily, she looked at Yuan Shuo with tears in her eyes, "You chase her first, you go first to provoke her. She, you never told her that this relationship is unmarried, and then after you were together for three years, you told her that you didn't plan to get married, you never planned to get married, how dare you say it! That's her The best age, the easiest age in her life, she likes you so much that she even broke up with you and wants to give birth to Xiaoyuan, but you, you don't want to marry her at all, then why do you Go and provoke her!"
Bian Jie cried.
She has never been a very powerful person. She doesn't like quarrels or fights. She hates Yuan Shuo, so she uses the sharpest words she can say to attack him, but she is more wronged by her own sister, so she still Cried.
She didn't understand, if she didn't like it, why Yuan Shuo wanted to provoke her sister, but if she liked it, why didn't she want to get married. It's not that you want to get married immediately, why don't you want to.
Yuan Shuo quietly stared at the silently crying person in front of him, and at that moment, he didn't say anything.
He took a tissue from his pocket and handed it over. "I'm sorry," he said, "you're right, I'm sorry for her."
Bian Jie didn't take his paper, she took a few sheets from the tea table and wiped her tears.
"You're the one who's sorry for her," she repeated.
"I won't interfere too much with Xiaoyuan's affairs." Bian Jie said softly, "I respect his choice, if he wants to recognize you, I won't stop him; if he doesn't want to recognize you, I won't persuade him. that's it."
"Okay." Yuan Shuo nodded.
"Bian Jie, believe it or not, I really want to be nice to Xiaoyuan. Your sister is the only woman I've ever loved in my life. I really love her, but at that time, I really hadn't gotten married. After she left, I also met many people, but none of them made me fall in love like her."
"The second year after she left was when I missed her the most. At that time, I called her and I thought, if she is willing to give her another chance, we will get married. But when I called, it showed It's an empty number. I called her many times. I even went to find her, but I couldn't find her. She didn't go to the city I told me before, and she didn't tell others her contact information. I didn't find her." Shuo whispered.
Bian Jie listened quietly and was silent for a moment before she said, "She waited for you for a year, but you didn't call her, so she changed her phone number and started a new life. That year, my parents were old Now, my mother gave birth to us late, and it belongs to old people, so when we grow up, they also get old. At that time, not long after Xiaoyuan was born, she was in her hometown, taking care of her parents and Xiaoyuan at the same time. It was not until my parents left and Xiaoyuan was two years old that she left her hometown with Xiaoyuan."
Bian Jie wiped her tears, "She is alive and well, and after leaving you, she is also doing well. There are still people chasing her, but she refused."
Yuan Shuo nodded slightly, "I guess so, she has always been a very independent and assertive girl. Back then at school, many people liked her."
The room was a little quiet for a while, neither of them were talking, and the tense atmosphere gradually eased.
Bian Jinyuan came back from buying wine and sat at the gate of the courtyard for a while. A square stone bench was built beside the wall of their courtyard. Occasionally passers-by sat down and rested, but Bian Jinyuan was sitting on it for the first time.
Looking at the starless night sky, he took out his mobile phone and called Lu Yunfei.
Lu Yunfei was still working on his summer homework. After picking it up, he asked, "What's wrong?"
"what are you doing?"
"What else, of course, is homework. How about you?"
"I just got back from the store and bought a bottle of wine."
liquor? Does anyone in Bian Jinyuan's family drink? Lu Yunfei said curiously, "You have a guest at your house."
"Well, the cheap dad I suddenly showed up."
Lu Yunfei became interested in an instant, "Does he want you to recognize him? I even inquired for you today, wow, by the way, your dad is amazing. My dad said that he lives in city B, which is better than ours. Rich, and he's still single, has no wife, and has no lover, so there are no other children."
Bian Jinyuan: …
"You've heard quite clearly."
"It doesn't concern you." Lu Yunfei said naturally, "So, what do you think? Do you want to recognize him?"
"No." Bian Jinyuan said, "It's not necessary."
Lu Yunfei nodded, "Yeah, we're pretty good on our own, so it's useless to have a dad like that."
Bian Jinyuan smiled, "Then you still inquired so clearly."
"Know yourself and know the enemy, you won't be imperiled in a hundred battles. Do you think you are the only one who has seen the art of war? I have seen it too. Whether we recognize it or not, we will definitely not be wrong if we find out the bottom line first."
"You're right." Bian Jinyuan smiled.
The two chatted for a while, Bian Jinyuan checked the time, hung up the phone, and went home.
Bian Jie and Yuan Shuo have regained their calm, and they can even talk a few words in harmony.
Bian Jinyuan handed over the wine to Yuan Shuo, and reminded him on the way, "Take it back and drink it again, it is illegal to drive under the influence of alcohol."
Yuan Shuo quickly put down the hand that was about to open the bottle cap, and replied, "Okay, Jin Jin is more careful."
His own surname was Yuan, so he always felt that it was a little strange to be called Bian Jinyuan Xiaoyuan, so he changed his nickname.
Bian Jinyuan didn't care, he sat down and started to eat.
After a meal, Bian Jie said, "It's getting late."
Yuan Shuo winked and said, "Then I'll go first, and I'll invite you to dinner another day."
"No need." Bian Jie said.
"No." Bian Jinyuan said.
Yuan Shuo smiled at him, took the bottle of wine he bought, and went out.
Yuan Shuo left, Bian Jie began to clean up the table, and Bian Jinyuan accompanied her to clean up.
Bian Jie asked him, "Do you really not recognize him?"
"There is no need to recognize it." Bian Jinyuan said.
Bian Jie smiled, "You don't hate him, right?"
She knew very well the children she had raised since childhood. If Bian Jinyuan hated Yuan Shuo, he would not let him into her house at all.
Bian Jinyuan was silent for a while, and then said softly, "My mother doesn't hate him."
Bian Jie's hand for packing things paused, and Bian Jinyuan looked at him with a gentle tone, "Auntie, do you remember my mother gave me a letter before she left?"
Bian Jie nodded.
"She said he wasn't aware of my existence and that he was innocent. My mom didn't really want me to hate him."
Otherwise, she would not have written this sentence specifically.
He remembered that his mother said that he was born full of love, and when her love was in full bloom, he came into her body with full of love and tenderness. His birth was not only Bian Ting's love for him, but also Bian Ting's love for Yuan Shuo.
So Bian Ting didn't want him to hate Yuan Shuo, so she said that Yuan Shuo was innocent at this point.
That's why he doesn't hate Yuan Shuo.
But it's just that he doesn't hate it. He doesn't have Bian Ting's liking for Yuan Shuo, so all he can do is to be willing to talk to him, and he wants Yuan Shuo to come to his home. No matter how much more, Bian Jinyuan can't do it. , do not want to do either.
"I won't go to his place." Bian Jinyuan looked at his aunt and calmly stated his point of view, "If he wants to see me, I won't stop it, but I won't see him, nor will I go. He's there. Whether he needs me or not, I don't need him."
Bian Jie listened to his calm words and nodded, "You can decide this matter. Whether you recognize him or not, I will support you. Because," she raised her hand and touched Bian Jinyuan's hair, " No matter which one you choose, you are my nephew."
Bian Jinyuan reached out and hugged her, and said softly, "Well."
In the new week, Yuan Shuo still insisted on calling Bian Jinyuan every day and asked him if we could have dinner together today? If not, I'll ask again tomorrow. He would never appear at the gate of Bian Jinyuan's school again, because Bian Jinyuan said when he appeared for the second time that he didn't like this kind of uninvited coming.
Yuan Shuo felt that he was really like Bian Ting in this respect, so he obediently stopped his actions, and called his son in advance to make an appointment before doing anything, but most of the time, he was ruthlessly rejected by Mr. Bian.
Yuan Shuo was puzzled, "Jin Jin, are you so busy? I made an appointment three days in advance."
Xiaobian is always indifferent, "I'm almost in my third year of high school."
Yuan Shuo immediately shut up, the third-year high school party, the busiest and hardest group of people in the world, is not one of them.
So Yuan Shuo began to give his son nutritional supplements and review materials, and even said, "Either you can change a house."
In this regard, Xiaobian is still very indifferent, "No need, take it back, don't fool around."
Yuan Shuo sighed, he felt that his son was much more dominant than his boss, this is the one who is better than the blue, and he deserves to be the son of him and Bian Ting! Very impressive!
Yuan Shuo stayed in X City for a month. Although his son didn't pay much attention to him, his sister-in-law still insisted that he would not let himself go to pay homage to his former lover, but he still stayed happily, waiting for one day, his son I would like to go to worship Bian Ting with him.
He really wanted to see Bian Ting again. Since seeing Bian Jinyuan, that memory has rekindled like a spark and a prairie fire. It was like a storm hitting the shore, and he was caught off guard. He would always think of Bian Ting and the time when they fell in love when they were young.
One night, Yuan Shuo woke up from a dream. He sat on the bed in a daze. He played the scene in his dream over and over in his mind. It was the scene when they broke up. It was the first time. He told Bian Ting about him. Not going to get married, he likes her, he loves her, but he doesn't want to get married yet.
Bian Ting looked at him in disbelief. After a long time, she said, "No, you may like me, but you don't love me, at least, not as much as you think."
She said, "I love you Yuan Shuo, so I would want to marry you. But you never thought about it. In the end, you don't love me that much."
She has always been outspoken, and she doesn't shy away from her feelings. She will tell Yuan Shuo frankly that she likes him, and she will simply leave after breaking up.
Yuan Shuo always remembered her, even though he quickly let the waves cover her every time the memory was tumbling out, but he knew that he still remembered Bian Ting. Everything he said to Bian Jie was true, he didn't lie to Bian Jie, Bian Ting was the only woman he had ever loved in his life, so when he knew Bian Jinyuan, he was only surprised, not concealed Resentment, only surprise, and untraceable joy.
He reached out and wiped his face, which was cold.
At the beginning of October, Yuan Shuo finally left. He originally intended to wait until Bian Jinyuan's birthday to leave, but he couldn't bear the ten calls a day from the old man at home. Yuan Shuo couldn't, so he had to go back first.
"I'll be back before your birthday," he said. "Do you want any birthday present? I'll buy it for you."
"No." Bian Jinyuan ate the dishes in front of him indifferently, and said without any father and son affection, "I don't have to come back before my birthday. I have to go to class and have dinner with my aunt, so I don't have time to talk to you."
Hara:…
"I can go to dinner with you and your aunt, and we will celebrate your birthday together."
"I reject."
"You can think about it again." Yuan Shuo said actively, "I can invite you to eat whatever you want, and then take you to the mall and other things you want to do."
Bian Jinyuan looked at him coldly, "Do you think I want to?"
In no mood. Yuan Shuo thought to himself, his son doesn't look like a person who likes shopping malls, sigh, he doesn't look like his mother, Bian Ting used to love shopping malls.
"Then I'll be back on time." Yuan Shuo said firmly.
Bian Jinyuan doesn't care, "As you like."
After dinner, Yuan Shuo took him home and handed him a thin coat, "It's autumn, remember to add clothes."
Bian Jinyuan did not refuse and said goodbye to him.
"So your cheap dad is gone." Lu Yunfei sat under the tree and chatted with Bian Jinyuan while carrying the words on his back.
Bian Jinyuan sat next to him, said "um", and continued to test his words.
"You don't actually hate him, do you?" Lu Yunfei asked, "If you hate him, you won't talk to him."
"Nothing to hate." Bian Jinyuan said.
Lu Yunfei listened to his words, looked at his calm face, and suddenly smiled, he approached Bian Jinyuan and said, "Bianbian, you are really gentle."
Bian Jinyuan raised his head in confusion.
Lu Yunfei looked at him with a smile, his eyes were full of fine light.
He has known Bian Jinyuan for so long, and he has almost never seen any negative extreme emotions in Bian Jinyuan. Most of the time, he is calm and calm, and when he encounters people and things he likes, he will show a gentle smile.
Although it does not seem easy to get along with, and sometimes it is indeed a bit cold, but his side is gentle and sunny. He will not feel inferior because of his poor family background, nor will he feel self-pity because his parents are not around. In all the emotions of Bian Jinyuan, there is no resentment, no jealousy, no unwillingness, and no other dark colors.
He lives frankly and bluntly, without any scheming, as clean as running water between his fingers.
Such Bian Jinyuan made Lu Yunfei feel very precious.
"Beside you, you are really a very good person." Lu Yunfei said warmly.
