My dad nodded, "Your mother and I gave birth to you without even getting a marriage certificate. With you, your grandfather naturally couldn't say anything. After all, he gave birth to a daughter. So Yanyan, I am particularly special now. I understand what your grandpa was thinking at the time. I hated him for many years, and now I am truly relieved. If Liang Sheng is a woman and you are a man, and you want to be with her, I will not only not object to you, but will do so unconditionally. I support you; but you are a woman and Liang Sheng is a man. I understand a man’s feelings very well. Unless he loves you to the core, it will be difficult for him to withstand the grinding of setbacks and the scrutiny of time."
Although I don’t know what my parents went through back then, my dad hasn’t told me so many things about their youth for so many years, which makes me start to understand my dad more or less. It's just that there is no so-called empathy at this time. No matter how difficult other people's journeys are, those scars will not remain on my body, so I can learn from this kind of thing, but I still can't do it.
I have always felt that my dad loves my mom more because my mom devotes herself to business and often ignores my dad, which leads to my dad often socializing outside and preferring to get drunk at banquets rather than go home alone. Keep an empty house'. Now I know that it is my mother who loves my dad the most. My parents are so loving, so Liang Sheng and I should not be any less affectionate.
When my mother came back, my father had just put out his sixth cigarette. My mother closed the door and turned around to see me sitting on the chair. She was so frightened that her whole body trembled: "Yanyan?"
"Hehe." I smiled nonchalantly.
My mother’s face turned green with fright. She threw all the things she was carrying on the table and came over to see me, “What’s going on?”
My dad was drinking tea: "I got allergic to beauty treatments with her little sister."
"Allergic?" My mother's nervous expression suddenly recovered, "I thought you were disfigured."
My dad and I looked at each other. I originally planned to tell the truth, but my dad lied for me. He was afraid that my mom would be worried, so he deliberately hid it from her. I knocked off my mother's hand and said with a smile, "Your daughter is so handsome, it would be a pity to ruin her appearance."
"That's true." My mother sat down next to me, twisted her waist and stretched her muscles: "Oh, the company's recent end-of-year sales are really tiring me out."
"Who's to blame? There are twenty-four hours in a day. You wish you could stay in the company twenty-five hours a day. If Yanyan hadn't gone home, you wouldn't be willing to get off work so early." My dad suddenly scolded him like a little daughter-in-law. When my mother said something, I secretly pursed my lips and smiled.
Happiness is probably like this, we dislike each other but never leave each other.
In the evening, my mother helped me wash my body in the shower and asked me if I wanted to go to work the next day. I shook my head. I was like a mummy. I was so scared to death when I went to the company. My mother asked me if I wanted to attend the company's annual meeting with her. I was like, "Is there a shortage of mummies at the annual meeting?" If there is a shortage, I will go.
As a result, the next night, she dragged me to her company’s annual meeting. Because of the full twelve hours, my gauze can be removed, and my face has almost recovered. There are no traces of injury except for a slight blush on my cheeks.
Originally, I thought my mother was just bringing me over to support the scene. After all, people of their generation only talk about business and men when they are together, but they also focus on having children. Only when I got there did I find out that she was openly recruiting me to marry me. No wonder she bought me an expensive dress before going out. My mother kept tempting me when we were in the car, "Our company has many talented people, and our spokespersons this year are popular celebrities. If you are bored at home, you will be bored anyway, so why not go to more places?" Make a few friends and expand your network.”
When we arrived at the annual meeting, I found out that she said the popular star was Ling Xiao. On the large display board outside the venue, Ling Xiao looked majestic in his latest British-style men's casual wear from Mom's Company, attracting many employees to stand in front of the display board and rush to take photos with 'Ling Xiao'. From their gossip, they didn't know that Ling Xiao himself would come. If he had known, the meeting would have been crowded with reporters.
For Ling Xiao, the most profound memory is that time in Shanghai, in order to save Yuan Sheng, Ling Yu beat me until his mouth was full of blood; then came the promotion meeting of "Green Snake", he hugged my waist in front of all the media . Although Liang Sheng has been warning me to stay away from him, I really don't have a bad impression of him. On the contrary, with Ling Yu as a foil, I think Ling Xiao is a good person and very loyal.
My mother walked in with me on her arm, gave me a glass of champagne, and started greeting various people.
"Oh, Chairman Zhang, I was hoping for the stars and the moon, but here you are." A middle-aged man with a flattering face greeted my mother enthusiastically.
My mother smiled politely back and corrected decisively: "Chairman Zhang passed away not long ago, just call me Mr. Zhang."
The man stepped aside in embarrassment.
The first time I saw my mother dealing with business, it really made my eyes shine. With fair skin and black hair, she looked particularly capable in a brown dress. She was full of aura for such a grand occasion.
"Hello, Mr. Zhang. This must be your daughter. She has a beautiful temperament and is graceful and elegant. She has a bit of Mr. Zhang's demeanor." Another man boasting about walking horses.
After listening to it for a while, I felt really bored, so I excused myself to go to the toilet. This hotel is located on the seaside, and there is an open-air observation deck outside. At this time, people were concentrated at the venue, and the observation deck was empty, so I carried my dress and walked out.
Suddenly, there was a feeling of facing the sea and spring flowers blooming, and I felt a lot more relaxed. I raised my face, feeling the sweetness of the ocean tide. The wind gently caressed my cheek, and the sunlight shone on my face. I felt lazily and a little sleepy.
"I really can see you everywhere." Ling Xiao's voice came from the corner beside me. I saw him wearing ordinary casual clothes, lying on a white lounge chair and opening his eyes leisurely.
I looked at him and couldn't help but smile: "I should be the one to say this, you are really everywhere." Posters were everywhere in the streets and alleys, even some of his clothes reflected him Photo.
Ling Xiao sat up lazily, crossing his legs in a very casual manner, "I am everywhere because I am the national male god. What about you, why?"
He was asking me why I was here.
I hesitated for a moment and answered conservatively: "My relatives are coming to attend the annual meeting and they brought me to join in the fun."
Ling Xiao nodded doubtfully and glanced sideways: "Why don't you go in? The annual meeting has begun."
"What about you?" I asked.
Ling Xiao clapped his hands, stood up, walked a few steps toward me, and looked at my face closely: "Of course I will. Just continue to sleep."
I subconsciously glanced in the direction of the venue and asked him, "You can sleep here like this without fear of being recognized."
"What are you afraid of? The worst thing you can do is take a few more photos and sign a few more names. It's you. If you come here, does your man know?" Ling Xiao smiled maliciously.
As soon as he mentioned Liang Sheng to me, I felt inexplicably guilty. I didn't know why, but I always felt that there was something in his words. My eyes flickered and I replied casually: "It's really something you care about." Then I waved to him and returned to the venue.
When my mother saw me coming back, she quickly pulled me over and scolded me: "You kid, it takes so long to go to the bathroom. Come on, let me introduce you. This is Shi Qian, the deputy director of our company, who is a few years older than you; This is Zhao Qing, the general manager of the American branch, who has a doctorate from Harvard; and this..."
I sighed inwardly, but I didn't want to disappoint my mother, so I could only hold up the champagne and smile stupidly. My mother deliberately arranged a table for us, and then invited a few older leaders to go out with her for a toast, leaving only four or five men and me at the table.
In the previous hour, their conversation had been about their opinions on the company’s development trends in recent years;
In the next half hour, their conversation escalated directly to a philosophical level;
After another half an hour, they suddenly realized that I was lacking in interest and began to continuously inquire about my hobbies, leisure life, personal relationships, etc.
Until the man named Shi Qian asked: "Do you have a boyfriend?"
I was about to say yes, when suddenly someone sat down next to me, put his arm on my shoulder and said, "What are you talking about with my girlfriend?"
I was stunned, Ling Xiao
