Yao Yiyi went to Shanghai for a few days and had a backlog of work. She said hello to her colleagues in the same department and immersed herself in work.
Just before noon, her phone rang. She took it out and looked at the display on it, frowning.
Although she looked a little unhappy, she finally picked up the phone.
"Hello."
"Yiyi, I'm dad. I'm outside your company now. Can you come down and meet me and your mother?" Yao's father's voice came through the mobile phone a little cautiously.
Yao Yiyi sighed. Even though her parents were wrong in all kinds of ways, she could not be so cruel as to sever all relations with them.
But you can have good parents, but you can't have bad children, otherwise, it would be unfilial.
"Dad, you and Mom wait, I'll go down now." Yao Yiyi said.
It was time for lunch. Yao Yiyi collected the documents on the table, turned off the computer, and then went downstairs, but Gong Lin followed closely.
"Gong Lin, you and other colleagues should go have dinner first. I have something to do when I go downstairs," Yao Yiyi said.
Gong Lin said stubbornly: "Young madam, I'm sorry, I have to stay with you to protect you. If someone hits you with a car again like last time, I will be responsible for your shortcomings and shortcomings."
Yao Yiyi has a headache.
"Gong Lin, this is my order. I don't think Qingheng sent you here to restrict my freedom." Yao Yiyi said with a rare tough attitude.
Gong Lin frowned and looked at Yao Yiyi with some disapproval.
"Gong Lin, be obedient. I'll go downstairs and come up in a while."
In the end, Gong Lin only had to compromise.
Yao Yiyi hurried downstairs.
"Dad, Mom." After leaving the building, Yao Yiyi saw the two old people cuddling each other, and a trace of sourness flashed through her heart for some unknown reason.
They haven't seen each other in nearly ten years. The two people who were once very indifferent to her have grown old. When they see her again, their eyes are cautious.
There was no longer the indifference in the memory, but the caution made everyone get along with each other even more strangely.
They were obviously relatives, but she felt like they were familiar strangers.
"Yiyi, you're down, have you disturbed your work?" Yao's father asked with concern, but Yao's mother just glanced at her and didn't say much. She wouldn't treat her like an ordinary mother. Asking questions and asking questions.
"It's already noon. My colleagues have all gone to eat. I think you haven't eaten yet. I'll invite you to eat. If you have anything, we can chat while eating, okay?" Yao Yiyi was polite. asked.
Father Yao nodded.
Yao Yiyi took them to a very high-end restaurant, asked for a small private room, ordered the dishes, then handed the menu to the waiter and said: "Please serve the food faster, the two old people are hungry. "
"Okay, we will serve the food as quickly as possible."
The waiter took the menu and came out of the small box. Father Yao looked at the decoration in the box and said, "Yiyi, will it be expensive to eat here?"
"Dad, don't worry, the cuisine here is very delicious and authentic, and the prices are very reasonable." Yao Yiyi said with a smile.
"You have a job now and a husband, so we are relieved. Your mother and I came to you this time, and we don't want to equalize your happiness. We are not so shameless, we just want to Don't go to Huang's house. As long as you agree, your mother and I will go back immediately and won't embarrass you here." Father Yao swallowed and said.
Yao Yiyi's eyes dimmed for a moment, and the sourness in her heart rose again.
She tried her best to suppress the sourness, opened her bag, took out a bank card from the bag, handed it to Yao's father, and said: "Dad, this is the money I have saved for you over the past few years. It was originally I wanted to make a call to your account, but all the accounts at home that I am familiar with have been cancelled, and I didn’t dare to call your number, so it has been stored in the card. Just think of it as my way of repaying you for your kindness in raising me over the years. The money is not much, only about a few hundred thousand. If it is not enough, just tell me that I am your daughter, and this will never change."
Father Yao looked at the card complicatedly, struggled a few times, and finally pushed it back to Yao Yiyi.
"Yiyi, please put it away. Neither your mother nor I will ask for your money. We only have one condition: don't disturb the Huang family. For dad's sake, don't go." Father Yao lowered his head. He said in a very hoarse voice.
Yao Yiyi looked at the card that was pushed back, smiled bitterly, and said, "Dad, don't you even give me a chance to fulfill my filial piety?"
Father Yao shook his head and said: "Yiyi, don't get me wrong. I haven't fulfilled my duty as a father in these years. You and our Yao family have also suffered a lot of grievances, so we won't feel at ease with your money." of."
I think you want to cut off all ties with me.
Yao Yiyi thought in her heart.
The Yao family is still as indifferent as ever. Even though the appearance seems to have changed, the coldness towards her in their hearts has not changed at all.
Yao Yiyi didn't say anything else, she just took the card back and became a little more distant.
"Dad, if you need my help with anything, just ask, we are still a family." Yao Yi said quietly.
"Yiyi, there's only one thing we need your help with. Don't bother the Huang family, okay?"
Yao Yiyi gave Yao's father a complicated look, lowered her head and remained silent.
Father Yao pushed the chair away, bent his legs, and knelt down straight.
He straightened his back and said in a hoarse voice: "Yiyi, for the sake of the money I spent to raise you, don't get close to the Huang family. The Yao family has been unsafe these years, and your brother now also has cirrhosis of the liver. , as long as Mr. Huang moves his fingers, he will die violently. His children are still young, please stop being so cruel."
Yao Yiyi also stood up. She originally wanted to bend down and help him up, but after hearing these words, her hands froze in the air, and there was unspeakable sadness in her eyes.
"Dad, we haven't seen each other for so many years, don't you want me to feel better?" Yao Yiyi asked quietly.
Father Yao's back stiffened a little.
"Yiyi, I'm sorry."
"Dad, when I was young, I couldn't resist your indifference. Now that I'm married and have children, do you still want to control my life? Have you really never felt guilty for your selfishness?"
"sorry."
Yao Yiyi took a deep breath and tried her best to calm down.
"Brother, is he really sick?"
Father Yao nodded.
"Ask your sister-in-law to bring him to T City, and I'll ask Qingheng to arrange for him to stay in the best hospital. Nowadays, medical skills are advanced. As long as you actively cooperate with the treatment, there is nothing that cannot be cured." Yao Yiyi's eyes have regained his composure. , Wu Bo Bu Lan: "When my brother's illness is cured, you should stop getting involved in the Huang family's affairs. The Huang family is not something you can afford to offend."
Huang's father shook his head violently, suddenly rushed forward and hugged Yao Yiyi's thigh, begging Yao Yiyi to spare the Yao family. Although their family was not particularly good to her, they did their best to raise her and let her Stop being so cruel.
Yao Yiyi laughed sadly after hearing this.
The remaining family affection in her heart disappeared due to Yao's father's selfishness time and time again. The guilt she felt on the last phone call turned out to be just her illusion.
Ou Qingheng opened the door and came in, and what he saw was this scene.
His eyes darkened, and he walked over quickly, bent down, and helped Yao's father up with a seemingly gentle but strong hand.
"Dad, are you rehearsing some show? Even so, as a father kneeling in front of his daughter, Yiyi will lose his life." Ou Qingheng said with a smile on his face, but there was no smile in his eyes.
Father Yao looked at Ou Qingheng who suddenly appeared, a trace of embarrassment flashed across his face.
Yao Yiyi looked at him and said a little feebly: "Qingheng, why are you here?"
Ou Qingheng raised his hand and touched her face and said, "My parents are here, why don't you give me a call? I can prepare a banquet for them, otherwise they will think that my son-in-law has not done enough." What should I do about Geke? Dad, Mom, are you right?" The latter sentence was obviously addressed to the Yao couple.
Father Yao's face was sly, and he seemed to be very jealous of Ou Qingheng.
Yao's mother stuttered and said: "Yiyi, the old man and I have finished eating, so we won't bother you. You and your husband eat more, and then you can go over to see us two old people when you are free. Let's go first gone."
Ou Qingheng strode forward and stopped the two people who were about to walk out.
