"It's really you! Auntie hasn't seen you for a long time! The little girl before has grown into a big girl now!" The middle-aged woman held her arm and talked to her excitedly.
His eyes wandered back and forth over her, as if he was particularly pleased that the little girl he once was had grown up to this day.
Chi Weiyang was very excited. After a long time, he came back to his senses, and hurriedly said to Xingchen on the other end, "Let's talk later," and hung up the phone.
Who is the middle-aged woman in front of me
It turned out to be Fu Yichen's mother, Lai Fengyi.
At first, the Fu family suddenly moved away overnight and disappeared without a word. She thought that she would never see the mother who once treated her like her own daughter again.
only…
Now, time has passed, and the years have left some traces on the middle-aged woman's face, and also left a sense of unfamiliarity in each other's hearts.
"Aunt." Chi Weiyang greeted politely with a smile.
"She is really not the carefree little girl she used to be." Lai Fengyi said, "She looks like a girl now. She is getting prettier and prettier!"
Chi Weiyang smiled, "Why are you here? Are you living in your hometown now?"
"Not really. It's just that his dad wanted to come back for Chinese New Year this year. It's the 30th the day after tomorrow, so we came back yesterday."
"I see." Chi Weiyang wanted to ask Fu Yichen if he would also come back for the New Year. However, she thought of the scene of him and Su Suyun together yesterday afternoon, and felt that she shouldn't ask. There was nothing to say, and the scene suddenly became quiet. She didn't know what to say to Fu's mother now.
"You have become a quiet and gentle lady now." Lai Fengyi really liked her. After looking her up and down, his eyes fell on her bulging belly. "Are you pregnant?"
It's so obvious, of course it can't be concealed.
She could only nod, her breathing tense.
Lai Fengyi sighed, grabbed her hand, and patted it twice with regret, "What a pity. In the past, when I saw you and Yi Chen together, I hoped that you two would grow up quickly so that he could marry you quickly. I also always treated you as my daughter and my wife. But now, when we meet again, I didn't expect that you two are already married and have children."
Chi Weiyang's breathing tightened, and he didn't explain. He just pursed his lips reluctantly and said, "It's just that we are not destined to be together! Back then, your whole family left here overnight, and since then, Yi Chen and I have had no contact."
After she finished speaking, she felt a pain in her palm. She was surprised and looked up, but she saw that Mother Fu's face was not good, and she was holding her hand tightly. It seemed that she remembered something painful, and her brows were tightly furrowed.
"Aunt?" Chi Weiyang called her worriedly and held her cold hand. "What's wrong? Did I say something wrong?"
Lai Fengyi came back to her senses after a while, and when she looked at Chi Weiyang again, her eyes inexplicably turned red.
Hand, holding her hand tighter.
Chi Weiyang was puzzled, but seeing that she was emotionally unstable, he did not dare to ask more questions. He just helped her sit down on a bench on the street.
After a long while, Lai Fengyi slowly spoke, "Back then... I really hoped that you two could keep in touch..."
Chi Weiyang felt a little puzzled, but she suddenly raised her hand and wiped the corners of her eyes.
She was shocked and quickly took out a tissue from her bag. "Did it remind you of something sad?"
Lai Fengyi shook her head and said bitterly: "It just makes my poor child suffer..."
Her voice trembled a little, "Our Yi Chen really liked you at the beginning, very much... He still keeps the birthday present he bought for you that year. He treats you like a treasure. I know that over the years, he has never really forgotten you in his heart. He is married now, and you are married too. As a parent, I shouldn't have said these words to you, but..."
She clutched her heart, forbearing and suppressing herself, "It really hurts... As soon as I saw you, I couldn't help but tell you... He really never forgot you."
Chi Weiyang was a little dazed.
birthday present
Did he buy it for himself
That year, the day he completely disappeared was the day after her birthday. He promised her that he would come back to cut the cake, make a wish, and give her a birthday present. However, when she called the school again the next day, his classmates said that he had dropped out of school overnight.
Did he really prepare a birthday present for her that year
"When he was sick and unconscious with a high fever, he kept calling your name. I really wanted to call you and ask you to come and stay with him. He would definitely feel much better if you were with him. But he was stubborn... he wouldn't let me..." Lai Fengyi couldn't help but think of what happened back then, and her heart ached as if she would die at any time.
My chest felt like it was being chopped by a meat grinder. It was a bloody mess.
That night, the child fled back home in a mess, covered in blood and in despair. No one could have imagined that he was actually raped by someone... by someone. And the other party was a man! (In fact, I have written it very clearly before, but I thought it was very cruel, so I just briefly mentioned it. However, I didn’t expect that some readers still have a vague understanding...)
The boy, who even had mysophobia, soaked himself in ice-cold water for the entire night when the temperature was several degrees below zero.
He took a towel and masochistically wiped his "dirty" body, rubbing it until his skin was broken and bleeding, but he refused to stop.
Even adults couldn't bear such a blow, let alone a child who was less than 20 years old? That night, the door of the Fu family was closed. The next day, Fu Yichen had a high fever of nearly 40 degrees and almost died.
after that…
The whole family quietly moved away when no one was paying attention. Afterwards, when he was no longer in danger, they personally sent him to the police station...
Both parties were sentenced.
He was convicted of excessive self-defense.
Lai Fengyi still remembers how her son survived like a zombie in prison for a year. She often wondered if Wei Yang had been there, would he have suffered so much.
However, at that time, he was inferior, fearful, and dark, so how could he be willing to contact her? To him, laying out all these dark things in front of her was like uncovering a scar that had finally healed.
That's cruel.
"Aunt, please don't think about the past anymore. It makes you feel uncomfortable." Chi Weiyang didn't know the hidden truth, but just said bitterly: "Now, we all have our own lives, which is not bad."
"Okay, okay." Lai Fengyi wiped her tears and took a few deep breaths before she forced herself to calm down. "When I saw you today, I lost my temper. Please don't laugh at me."
