The other side of the small town.
Fu Yichen waited in the house all day and didn't go anywhere. He sat in front of the TV absent-mindedly, checking the time repeatedly, waiting for dinner.
However, after waiting for a whole morning, and then another whole morning, it was only a little after two in the afternoon. Counting the hours one by one was simply a torment for him.
"Still looking, what are you looking at!" Lai Fengyi came over and patted him on the head, "You've been looking at it since this morning, and now you've almost seen through the watch."
"Mom, make dinner early today."
"No matter how early it is, we can't have dinner at two or three o'clock." How could Lai Fengyi not see what her son was thinking
Fu Yichen was a little embarrassed and didn't say anything. Even if she arrived at five o'clock, there were still nearly three hours.
He took out his cell phone several times, wanting to call her, even just to hear her voice, but he was afraid that she would know he was here and would not dare to come.
After all, it was he who said that day that the two of them would be strangers from now on...
"Okay, stop being so depressed. It's depressing to watch." Lai Fengyi was packing up her things. She patted a paper bag and ordered, "Go, accompany me to deliver this to the Chi family."
"I'm too lazy..." Before he could even utter the word 'move', Fu Yichen's gaze suddenly turned from the TV to his mother.
"Okay, go if you want. If you don't want to go, I'll go by myself." Lai Fengyi picked up his things and turned to leave.
"Mom, wait a minute!" Fu Yichen, who had been listless just now, suddenly became energetic. He threw the remote control in his hand, stood up, grabbed his mother's wrist, and took the things in her hand.
"What are you doing? Aren't you too lazy to move?" Lai Fengyi glanced at him and asked deliberately.
"This thing is so heavy, and you're not in good health, so of course I'll carry it."
Lai Fengyi smiled and didn't expose him. The two walked out together. Seeing that he was in good spirits, Lai Fengyi couldn't help but remind him earnestly: "The good relationship in the past was in the past. Don't confuse that kind of relationship with the feelings of adults now. Don't forget that you have a family."
Fu Yichen lowered his head and met his mother's gaze before saying, "I came back this time to discuss this matter with you and father."
"What's up?"
"Suyun and I have talked about it. After the new year... we will get divorced."
Lai Fengyi frowned and looked more serious, "Why are you getting divorced? You treat marriage as a joke! You got married without even saying hello. Now you're getting divorced. For so many years, your father and I haven't even seen your wife! Do you still regard us as your parents? Your father and I are traditional people, and we can never accept your concept of getting divorced at will!"
"Mom, don't be anxious. Actually, the relationship between Suyun and I is not what you think."
"What do we want? It's you who want to get married. What can we think about?" Lai Fengyi was a little angry.
Fu Yichen sighed, holding the gift in one hand and holding Lai Fengyi's shoulder with the other, "He and I didn't get together because of love. In the end, we just got married by agreement."
"I can not understand what you say."
"… She was my lawyer in that lawsuit a few years ago. Because of the lawsuit, she was retaliated against and had no peace for several years. Her life was not peaceful." Speaking of the things that happened a few years ago, Fu Yichen's expression darkened. After so much time, he still couldn't face it calmly. However, he quickly suppressed such emotions. He returned his thoughts to the main topic and said, "Later, she needed a legal marriage certificate because of some difficult things. She had no one to turn to, so she found me."
"So, you two... aren't really a couple?"
"of course not."
"Then the child you mentioned last time..."
"Her ex-boyfriend's. As for the others, I haven't asked, and I won't ask."
"…" Lai Fengyi was stunned for a moment, and felt that it was ridiculous! It seemed that the more he thought about it, the angrier he became. He didn't know where to vent his anger, so he clenched his fist and hit him, "You little bastard! You little bastard! How dare you do this behind your father and me! Fortunately, the two of us were happy, thinking that we had a granddaughter to hug us, but we didn't expect you to dare to fool us like this!"
"Mom, don't be angry!"
"How can I not be angry? You're going to piss me off to death!" Lai Fengyi rubbed his chest, which was choking him with anger. "I need something in my hand right now. I... I have to beat you up!"
Fu Yichen smiled bitterly. He wondered how the old lady would react if she knew that she actually had a grandson.
But now is not the time to tell the truth.
… … … … …
When the doorbell rang, Chi Weiyang was helping her mother pick vegetables.
Chi's mother continued to ask: "Weiyang, tell me the truth, why is the father unwilling to take this responsibility?"
"Mom, this child is mine and has nothing to do with him. Please stop asking, okay?"
"What do you mean yours? It has nothing to do with him? Can you give birth to a child by yourself? You are hermaphrodite!" Father Chi was sitting in the hall listening and got angry. He stood up and asked, "Tell me the truth, is that man married? Are you a mistress outside?"
Father Chi's words pierced Chi Weiyang's heart. Her hands trembled and her breathing became tense.
She only felt her father's sharp eyes and her mother's inquiring gaze cast at her. She was afraid that they would see through something, so she lowered her head even more guiltily.
However, little did they know that this would only make the truth more obvious.
Silence is tantamount to consent.
The two elders of the Chi family were traditional people. When they heard that their daughter was a mistress, they felt even more distressed. The two looked at each other, and Chi's father walked over and pulled her up from the chair.
"Mr. Chi, be careful! She is pregnant now. It is very unsafe to pull her like this!" Chi's mother also stood up and gave worried instructions.
"Go to the hospital right away before it's six months old!" Father Chi's voice was as heavy as a bell and left no room for argument.
"Dad, I don't want it!" Chi Weiyang tried to pull her hand free. However, her father held her hand too tightly, leaving a shocking red mark on her wrist.
She shook it twice, but failed to get it loose.
The man was pulled to the door by Chi's father.
Just then, the doorbell rang.
"Quickly stop making trouble, there are guests coming." Chi's mother said, looking out through the peephole, then looking back at the father and daughter who were still entangled. She said to her husband, "Quickly let Weiyang go. Fengyi is here! We haven't seen each other for so many years, don't let them laugh at you!"
