The next day, Xiang Wan asked for leave and didn't go to the brigade.
Yesterday she told her mother that she was going to take her to the hospital for treatment today, so she had to go.
The elders can't be coaxed, what they said, they will remember it in their hearts.
After getting up early, Xiang Wan made a special effort to tidy herself up, picked out a dress that looked better, put on a light makeup carefully, took a selfie in the mirror, was satisfied, and then went out with her bag.
Every time she goes to see her mother and aunt, she pays special attention to her appearance and image.
I didn't expect to dress up specially today, and when I went out, I ran into Cheng Zheng in the elevator aisle.
Looking at each other across the air, they were silent for a while, and Xiang Wan raised the corners of his lips in greeting.
"Morning, Team Cheng."
Cheng Zheng looked her up and down, "Go to work?"
Xiang Wan said politely, "No. There is something wrong."
Cheng Zheng nodded, "Looking at the elevator that has arrived, do you need me to take you?"
Xiang Wan smiled slightly, "No need. Thank you."
Don't ask for explanations, don't criticize, don't care.
She thought this was the best and most direct way to deal with the little embarrassment between herself and Cheng Zheng.
As she said that, she walked straight past him, entered the elevator, moved the bag strap on her shoulders to the front, and stood upright in the middle of the elevator without looking sideways.
Cheng Zheng hesitated, and before the elevator closed, he strode in and stood beside Xiang Wan.
The silent space is too narrow.
The two were very close, but Cheng Zheng felt that there was a Milky Way between them.
Such a polite and polite relationship is more regressive than before.
The elevator goes down.
Cheng Zheng looked at the jumping numbers and was silent for a long time.
"Sorry!"
Apologizing is not his thing, he has always been a proud man.
But in front of Xiang Wan, he actually lowered his head time and time again.
To be honest, Xiang Wan really couldn't tell how big Cheng Zheng's shortcomings were.
He is not a very bad kind of person, and he even cares about people silently. But with him, a pool of stagnant water cannot stir up waves. And his family, that mother, really made Xiang Wan not like him. Even if she became friends with him in the future, she felt that she would not be able to bear it.
So, knowing that he didn't want to hear something, she just asked something.
"Is your mother gone?"
She asked with a smile, very relaxed, as if she didn't care at all.
But he used subtext to remind Cheng Zheng that it would be better to keep a distance from her...
Cheng Zheng's face turned cold slightly, he looked at her darkly, his mouth moved, as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't say anything for a long time, until the elevator door opened again, he watched Xiang Wan stride away, and then He yelled at her back.
"I know you're angry."
His voice was a little high, not his usual calm and self-disciplined appearance.
Xiang Wan paused, and slowly turned to look at him, "Huh?" Looking at him, she slowly smiled again, and said relaxedly, "It's actually okay. I'm not too angry. After all, it's a stranger... If I had taken this kind of thing to heart, I would have been killed by those who hacked me on the Internet."
Cheng Zheng held the briefcase, sighed, walked in front of her, stared into her eyes, and said in a low voice, "My mother wasn't like this before..."
"Sorry." Xiang Wan interrupted him, raising his eyebrows in embarrassment, "Cheng Dui, I'm not interested in what kind of person your mother is. I'm in a hurry, so I'm leaving first, let's talk!"
"You don't believe it?" Cheng Zheng added, his eyes filled with a very strange emotion.
It seemed that her affirmation meant a lot to him.
It seemed that he wanted to find recognition and relief from her eyes.
"I believe it!" Xiang Wan smiled slightly.
After the humanitarian letter, she quickened her pace, and with the wind under her feet, she hurried out of his sight.
…
When Xiangwan took a taxi to Tan Yuechun's villa, their family was there.
Tan Yunchun was not surprised by her arrival.
She is a filial child, she said yesterday that she will come today, and she will definitely come.
But when Tan Yuechun saw Xiang Wan, his expression was a little ugly. Her patriarchal style has long been infiltrated into her bones, and she has a lot of opinions on Xiang Wan recently.
... This niece is getting more and more difficult to manage. It's okay to turn a deaf ear to what she said, but in the end, a good marriage was ruined by her. She wasted all her hard work and made her say a lot of good things in front of Cheng's mother.
Xiang Wan walked in slowly and greeted him as usual.
"Little aunt, little uncle... Good morning."
Xing Yuanhang immediately stood up and smiled politely, "Xiao Wan is here? Come on, come on, sit down quickly. Does your aunt keep talking about you these days? You can chat with her, I have to go to the company..."
From the first day Xiang Wan met him, he had been like this. Not indifferent, not close, always be polite and responsible at home.
As for Xing Feifei, she completely disliked taking responsibility.
When she walked out of the restaurant, she snorted softly when she saw Xiang Wan. Then, he said loudly to Xing Yuanhang: "Dad, wait for me, I will take your car to school..."
Xing Yuanhang naturally knew what his daughter was thinking, so he agreed with a beep.
"I'll wait for you outside."
"Okay!" Xing Feifei rushed upstairs like a rabbit in three steps at a time, took her schoolbag down, didn't even look at Xiang Wan, and rushed out of the gate as if there was a ghost chasing after her, without turning her head , completely ignoring Xiang Wan's existence.
He also objectively told Xiang Wan that she was not welcome.
Xiang Wan stood there expressionlessly.
I got used to it and didn't care anymore.
Tan Yunchun was a little embarrassed, afraid that his daughter would feel bad, so he quickly smoothed things over, "Feifei is very busy with homework recently... Hurry up, Wanwan, come sit down and talk to your aunt."
With a hmm, Xiang Wan slowly sat down on the sofa.
She didn't eat the fruit that her mother handed over, but turned to Tan Yuechun and said, "Auntie, I was on duty on Mid-Autumn Festival and couldn't come back..."
With a cold expression, Tan Yuechun took the TV remote control and pressed it carelessly, obviously unhappy, "Now that your wings are hardened, you don't need me, an annoying person, to worry about it. Fly if you want to fly! Why do you apologize to me? I should apologize to you. It's a big holiday, I insist on letting you come back for dinner... "
"..."
It's embarrassing to say that.
Originally, she was such a close aunt, so she found a step and the matter was over.
But when it came to this point, Xiang Wan was very passive.
She knows that my aunt is used to being strong, and she doesn't like others to be disobedient...
The most important thing is that the relationship between them and their aunt is also very special - if it is not handled properly, it will evolve into "Dou Mi En, bear Mi En" in the eyes of others.
And this is also the real reason why my mother has always been extra careful to please my aunt.
After all, it was my aunt who helped them when their family was in the most difficult time. For so many years, she has been helping her all the time, so I can't turn against her because of a trivial matter, and be called ungrateful...
Relationships are the most sensitive.
Xiang Wan took a deep breath, softened her tone, and looked very cute.
"Auntie, I know you're angry with me. I didn't handle this matter well. I'm sorry for you..."
"You're sorry for me, why did this happen?" Tan Yuechun turned his head and stared at her intently.
Xiang Wan was shocked.
On second thought, I see.
"Mother Cheng told you all?"
Tan Yuechun drooped her face, her complexion was dark and ugly.
"If she doesn't tell, will you tell me?"
Xiang Wan was silent.
Some things are more difficult to explain.
My aunt is angry, let her vent it.
However, her silence did not calm Tan Yuechun out.
"I understand now. I used to be too meddling in my own business, so I had to find some faults for myself. From now on, I can't afford to worry about you..."
As she spoke, she threw the remote control on the coffee table, patted her knees, stood up, and said to Tan Yunchun.
"I'm going to wash my face. You have to go out later, just tell Xiao Deng Tian Tian..."
…
The door opened and closed again.
The aunt just left, leaving only the embarrassed mother and daughter.
You look at me, I look at you, haven't spoken for a long time.
"Mom... I'm sorry." Xiang Wan's apology was sincere.
She couldn't bear to see her mother's sad expression, and felt that she was particularly unfilial, but she couldn't convince herself to succumb to an external will outside her original heart.
"I know that you and my aunt are for my own good. But I have grown up and am an independent person. I don't want to force myself to accept a relationship I don't want..."
Tan Yunchun's eyes were red, and he just looked at her like that, with his hands on his knees, motionless, and his voice was so low that he couldn't breathe.
"You said you are a girl, why are you so strong-tempered? What's the point of tossing around? Isn't it better to find a reliable man to take care of your life than to show your face outside?"
"Mom..." Xiang Wan moaned.
Then, a long sigh.
Age, generation gap—a hurdle that cannot be crossed.
Xiang Wan was silent for a moment, smiled and sat next to Tan Yunchun, took her arm, leaned on her shoulder affectionately, and said seriously, like lying in her mother's arms when she was a child, "Mom, I do these things. It's not that I have a strong temper... It's that I want to have a lot of money."
Tan Yunchun was startled, and looked sideways at her.
Xiang Wan felt that it was easier for her mother to understand the explanation from an economic point of view.
So, she continued on the issue of money: "The money I want is money that I can control at any time. It is not given to me by any man, and I don't need to look at other people's faces, let alone buy a sanitary napkin. With permission from others…”
Tan Yunchun's face has changed.
Aren't these easy-to-understand words the experience of her past life
If money is not free, people will not be free. How can happiness come from
Xiang Wan looked into her eyes, "Therefore, I have been working hard to make a lot of money. Only a lot of money can bring me a lot of freedom. Only a lot of money can give me a life that I can control independently. Only a lot of money can give me a lot of money. Let me not be subject to the will of others at any time because of anything, and live like a puppet... "
Tan Yunchun stared blankly at her and didn't speak for a long time.
Xiang Wan took a deep breath and suddenly hugged her tightly.
"Let's go, let's go to the hospital to see a doctor—" As he spoke, Xiang Wan patted his bag again, "I received last month's manuscript fee, which is a lot of money... So, Mom, you don't have to worry about the future Your life is not guaranteed, your daughter can do it, raising our mother and daughter, there is no problem at all... "
The corner of Tan Yunchun's mouth twitched, and he covered his face.
When he looked up again, his eyes were already moist.
"Well, let's go see a doctor!"
