After the birthday party, everyone drank a lot, and Shen Weichu personally escorted the elders out of the hotel.
Ying Rutian wanted to go over and say a few words to Ying Yanluo, but just as he made a move, he was stopped by Old Madam Ying.
"You guys go back first."
Ying Rutian was a little hesitant.
"Go back." Madam Ying said firmly.
Ying Rutian looked at his mother, then looked at Ying Yanluo who was standing with Su Weichu not far away, and finally got in the car.
After Ying Rutian and his friends drove away, Old Madam Ying walked towards Ying Yanluo.
Ying Yanluo noticed them out of the corner of her eye. When she saw Old Madam Ying walking towards her, she took two steps forward and called her "Grandma".
Madam Ying had a kind face and asked, "Yanluo, can we have a conversation?"
Ying Yanluo: “Of course.”
"Are you still angry about what happened last time?"
Ying Yanluo shook her head, "No."
Madam Ying looked into her eyes. Her eyes were clear and calm, showing no emotion. But Madam Ying had experienced so many ups and downs in her life, how could she not know the waves hidden under this calmness
After finding out what the second brother had done, she was extremely disappointed. Perhaps it was because she had never experienced any setbacks in relationships, so she didn't understand. It was obvious that the second brother liked his second daughter-in-law very much, but it was only a few short years, so how could it turn out like this
Later, with the death of my second daughter-in-law, many of my attachments disappeared in an instant.
Kneel down, apologize, and admit your mistake.
As a mother, she chose to forgive her son.
Tao Lanzhi came into the family in a disgraceful way, so she has been behaving herself after that, and she takes care of Yan Luo herself. As for the child she brought with her, it seems that he has been well educated and gets along well with Yan Luo.
She also deliberately warned the adults about the second child's matter, so they would not say much in front of the children. It was also because of this that Yan Luo, who had lost her mother, gradually became dependent on Tao Lanzhi.
Madam Ying's attitude towards Tao Lanzhi changed slightly. In fact, it started from the time she gave birth to Chi Xi and she did not neglect to take care of Yan Luo. This made the young Chi Xi very attached to Yan Luo since he was a child, and he often followed her like a little follower.
This peaceful life lasted for several years, until Yanluo was nine years old.
When Yan Luo was brought to them from the second brother's house, she actually had a vague guess that she must know something, but she didn't rush to confirm it. Could a child who was only ten years old really understand these things
But no matter whether she could understand it or not, from that time on, year after year, the second brother's family had long been gone from her heart. Even now, she dared not say whether she and her husband were in her heart, but on second thought, it seemed that they were not. It was not surprising. Rather than saying that she was raised by them after she was ten years old, it would be more accurate to say that she was raised by the Song family.
"Yanluo, you should have known this a long time ago, right?" asked Old Madam Ying.
Ying Yanluo restrained her expression but did not deny it.
Seeing this, Madam Ying sighed and said, "Yanluo, there are some things that grandma doesn't know how to say, but our Ying family is sorry to your mother and to you."
Ying Yanluo looked at Madam Ying and said, "Grandma, the Ying family has never done anything wrong to me. As for my mother, so many years have passed. It is meaningless to say anything wrong. I don't want to talk about these things anymore. I just want to live my life well now."
Madam Ying was silent for two seconds, then nodded, "Yeah, that's right, I'm still living my life well."
Ying Yanluo smiled faintly, "Grandma, it's getting late, you and Grandpa should go back and rest early."
…
Shen Weiqing is returning to the Shen residence tonight, so he will drive Shen's father and mother back.
"Drive slowly and be careful on the road." Su Weichu reminded him.
Shen Weiqing inserted the car key and said, "Don't worry."
After sending everyone away, Su Weichu and Ying Yanluo were the last to leave.
Su Weichu asked Ying Yanluo who was sitting in the passenger seat while driving.
"You're not in a good mood. Did Madam Ying say anything to you?"
Ying Yanluo turned slightly to look at Su Weichu, and said with a smile: "Actually, he didn't say anything, he just apologized to me for those things."
"What about you? How did you answer?"
"How else can I respond to an elder's apology?" Ying Yanluo pursed her slightly dry lips and continued, "Actually, I originally had a lot of questions I wanted to ask, but when I really talked about these things, I didn't want to ask them that much."
"It doesn't make sense anymore." Su Weichu said.
Ying Yanluo chuckled, "Yeah, it's meaningless now."
After returning home, they washed up and went to bed.
Su Weichu held the person in his arms and coaxed him, "You must be tired today, go to sleep."
Ying Yanluo put her face against his neck, "Good night."
"Good night."
The bedroom was quiet for a very long time. Ying Yanluo opened her lips but couldn't help asking, "Are you asleep?"
Su Weichu's voice rang out, "No."
Ying Yanluo was a little surprised, "Why haven't you slept yet?"
Su Weichu put his hand on the back of her neck, "You're not asleep."
Ying Yanluo was stunned for a moment, then she understood. She bent her lip and said, "I can't sleep."
"If you can't sleep, then don't sleep. Let's chat."
"What are you talking about?"
"It's all right. I'll listen to whatever you say."
Ying Yanluo moved in his arms and pressed her upper body against his chest. Their breathing became very close. "Tell me, how come two people who loved each other so much suddenly stopped loving each other one day? Why is that?"
Su Weichu reached out and turned on the night light on the bedside. The warm light illuminated the dim bedroom. He saw her slightly red eyes and felt his heart pierced. He gently stroked the back of her head, "Yan Yan, I can't explain to you the reason for this, but I can promise that we won't do this."
"And there are also relationships in this world where people have been supporting each other for more than ten years, like my parents. I grew up watching and feeling their relationship, so don't be afraid or retreat. I will always love you as long as you are willing to stay with me."
Ying Yanluo felt a sour feeling rushing up from her nose to her forehead, and her eyes began to water. She sniffed, "Of course I am willing to stay with you, please don't leave me."
Su Weichu pressed her head down against his chest, "Yan Yan, we can't choose our original family, but after we form a new family, we can choose what kind of original family we want to form."
Ying Yanluo rubbed her chest and said hoarsely, "I want a family like yours."
Su Weichu kissed the top of her head, "Of course, this is the family I want."
Ying Yanluo had felt countless times that a perfect family like this could only appear in her comic book world, but now, someone told her that he was willing to build such a family with her and had been proving it to her with practical actions. How could she not yearn for it
After talking for a while, Ying Yanluo felt sleepy, but just before she fell asleep, she said to Su Weichu, "I want to go see my mother tomorrow."
"Okay, let's go together."
The next morning, after packing, we went out together.
On the way there, Ying Yanluo bought the flowers that her mother liked. She was still young when her mother passed away, and it was her aunt who told her about these flowers.
The weather is nice today and there are quite a few people coming to the cemetery to pay their respects.
This was not the first time that Su Weichu and Ying Yanluo came to worship. They had been here before the New Year and a few days before their engagement party.
Probably because there was a heavy rain a few days ago, a lot of rain mixed with mud splashed on it. Ying Yanluo took out a wet tissue and wiped it carefully, and Su Weichu replaced it with fresh fruit.
The two men held hands and knelt in front of Yingmu's tombstone, kowtowed respectfully.
Su Weichu promised, "Mom, although I already said this last time, I still promise you that I will treat Yanyan well for the rest of my life, don't worry."
Ying Yanluo held Su Weichu's hand tightly with a smile on her lips.
After the worship and cleaning, the two of them bowed one last time and then left together.
Ying Yanluo took the afternoon flight back to the crew.
They had lunch at a restaurant outside, and Su Weichu sent them to the airport.
"The next time we meet will be when I finish work. Wait for me to come back."
Although the airport was crowded with people coming and going, Su Weichu couldn't help but hold the person in his arms and kiss him.
Ying Yanluo's face was so hot that she didn't even want to raise her head.
Su Weichu smiled and held her shoulders: "Be safe, and message me when you get there."
Ying Yanluo responded obediently, "Okay."
