Xu Jinhuan barely fell asleep until the outside of the window turned blue-gray.
I don't know how long it has passed, but she was woken up by the noise made by the children playing. She got up and went to the bathroom to take a shower. After the shower, she found that the clothes she was wearing before were too smelly. She was hesitant to wear them when there was a knock on the door.
Immediately afterwards, Ye Qingxin's voice said, "Huanhuan, are you awake?"
Xu Jinhuan put on a bathrobe and went to open the door. Ye Qingxin smiled quietly and gently outside the door, "I know you can take a bath, so I found you clothes that I haven't worn. I think you are about the same size as me, so you should be able to wear them."
"Thank you." Xu Jinhuan was grateful, "Thank you for taking me in last night, I didn't cause you any trouble."
Ye Qingxin smiled: "Fortunately, breakfast is ready, you come over to eat together later, and I will take you where are you going after eating."
Xu Jinhuan nodded, not rejecting the kindness.
The clothes that Ye Qingxin brought for Xu Jinhuan were a little tight, but they were not impossible to wear. After packing up, they went to the restaurant. Everyone in the villa was there. There were eleven people in the family, old and young, and it was very lively.
Mrs. Sheng and the others all knew Xu Jinhuan, and they also liked this pretty, capable, and good-natured little girl. Mrs. Sheng warmly invited her to sit down.
Xu Jinhuan sweetly called people one by one, and when she reached Jing Boyuan, she took a moment to measure up and called out: "Mr. Jing."
Jing Boyuan doesn't seem easy to get close to, Xu Jinhuan dare not call him by his name directly.
Ye Qingxin smiled and didn't correct her, she had corrected her several times.
When he arrived at Ye Qingguo, the smile on Xu Jinhuan's face faded by two points, "Xiaoguo."
Ye Qing didn't raise her head, she swallowed her food, wiped her mouth, stood up and left, without giving Xu Jinhuan a look from the beginning to the end.
"He's not in a good mood recently, so don't meet him." Ye Qingxin explained.
Xu Jin smiled and looked at Ye Qingguo's back. It had been a long time since he saw him. His appearance had changed a bit, he was more handsome and handsome, and his temperament seemed to be different.
After dinner, Xu Jinhuan bid farewell to everyone, and went back to the bar in Ye Qingxin's car.
Xu Jinhuan drove last night and parked in an underground garage near Bar Street.
"Your mother came to me last year and asked me to take care of Xiaoguo and prevent Xiaoguo from contacting you. I failed to do this. Xiaoguo called you several times. I'm sorry. Please give me an apology to your mother." Ye Qingxin said while paying attention to the road conditions.
In fact, she wanted to ask more, what was the reason for Xu Jinhuan to sever contact with Ye Qingguo so decisively. In the past, Xu Jinhuan wanted to be with Ye Qingguo so resolutely.
But she didn't ask.
It is a good thing for Xu Jinhuan and the entire Xu family that Xu Jinhuan made up his mind to leave Ye Qingguo.
Xu Jinhuan didn't answer Ye Qingxin's words, fell silent for a moment, and said quietly: "I'm getting married, with a promising young man my parents like very much."
"Well, congratulations."
"Yesterday was the day when the two families discussed their marriage." Xu Jinhuan turned his head and looked out the window, his voice seemed to come from afar, a bit unreal.
That's why she was so drunk, Ye Qingxin seemed to understand.
Ye Qingxin listened quietly.
Xu Jinhuan said by way of saying: "Before my mother talked to you last year, she was found to have breast cancer in the middle stage. She said she didn't want to see me jump into the fire pit, and she would only accept treatment if I promised to be with Li Buyan."
Therefore, between family affection and love, she chose family affection.
"I broke my promise and failed to fulfill my vow to take care of the small country for the rest of my life."
"You can't say that. Back then, I agreed with you to be with Xiaoguo. I wanted Xiaoguo to experience the life of a normal person out of selfishness. I know that any girl who is with him is no different from jumping into a fire pit. I am too selfish. I can completely understand your parents' feelings."
Ye Qingxin didn't expect Xu Jinhuan's mother to have such a serious illness. "As for Xiaoguo, he will forget it after a long time. He is angry now because you were too kind to him before, and you suddenly alienated him. He must have emotions." After a pause, she asked: "How is your mother now?"
"I had surgery last year, so far it's doing well, but this disease is easy to relapse, and once it recurs, the consequences will be very serious." Xu Jinhuan had tears in her eyes, so she didn't want and dared to disobey her mother's wishes again.
Li Buyan is very good, he is upright and treats her very well. He will be a good husband and father in the future.
It's just that these good things have nothing to do with love.
When Xu Jinhuan returned to her car, the cell phone in the storage compartment rang suddenly. She picked it up and found that the cell phone was out of battery.
After charging and turning on the phone, a call came in again, so urgent.
is the mother's number.
Xu Jinhuan picked it up: "Mom."
"You didn't answer the phone wherever you went last night, and you didn't return home. Do you know that I'm worried about you?" Fu Mingxia's voice was almost roaring, full of worry.
"Mom, didn't I tell you that there is something urgent on the set. I have to go back. I left my phone in the car last night. I didn't realize it was gone until midnight. I was too sleepy and didn't go to get it." Xu Jinhuan lied without blushing, "Okay, I'll be back in a while, and I promise to give you back a healthy and healthy daughter. Please don't be angry."
Fu Mingxia softened her tone, "I'll see how I deal with you when you come back."
Xu Jinhuan hung up the phone, sat down and closed his eyes for a while, then started the car and went home.
When they got home, Fu Mingxia seemed to have forgotten to be angry, and pulled Xu Jinhuan to look left and right to confirm that she really had a lot of meat before she felt relieved.
"Look at your pale face, did you go to sleep last night before you got a good rest, and your mother told you to get up for dinner at noon."
Xu Jinhuan had a sore nose. She didn't know whether it was because of her mother's illness or because of her own feelings. She fell into her mother's arms, "Mom, I really hope that you will treat me so well for the rest of your life. When I am seventy years old and you are one hundred years old, I still want to lie in your arms like this."
Fu Mingxia felt her daughter's depression, her eyes flashed with distress and unbearable, and in the next moment, it was replaced by firmness. She patted her daughter's back and said with a smile: "At that time, you were a little old woman, and you were still acting like a baby in your mother's arms. What did you say?"
Xu Jinhuan planned to take a few days off for himself, so after calling his assistant and talking, he turned off his phone and lay down on the bed to catch up on sleep.
At noon, Fu Mingxia went to her room to call her for dinner, but seeing that she was sleeping soundly and deeply, she didn't want to call, so she quietly closed the door and left.
He must have a good night's sleep and sleep until the evening.
After a while, he came back and saw his daughter's car, but when he entered the house, he saw his daughter, so he asked his wife, "Where is Huanhuan?"
"sleeping."
"Yesterday she" hesitated to speak for a moment.
Fu Mingxia said: "I must have been drinking yesterday. When I came back this morning, I could still smell the alcohol when she spoke, but she refused to admit it, and I didn't force her to ask."
Xu Yu was silent for a long time, and said worriedly: "I'm always uneasy that we told such a big lie. When Huanhuan finds out one day, she will hate us to death."
Fu Mingxia said angrily: "Shut up, don't mention this matter in the future, even if she finds out and hates me in the future, it's better than letting her be with that fool."
He sighed for a while, he didn't know why, so he cheated his daughter with his wife. In order to be realistic, the wife insisted on letting the doctor slash her chest, which can be described as well-intentioned.
"I just hope that after she marries Buyan, she can really fall in love with him. Buyan is a good child." Xu Mou was a little helpless, he only had such a daughter, so he naturally hoped that she could find real happiness.
"Father, I know that Buyan is a good person, so please stop talking about it." Xu Jinhuan's voice suddenly came, which startled Fu Mingxia and Xu Yu.
It's just that Xu Jinhuan's face is normal, it doesn't look like he heard something that shouldn't be heard.
Fu Mingxia gave her a reproachful look, "You are a cat and you don't make a sound when you walk."
"Mom, why do you look guilty and hide something from me?" Xu Jinhuan approached Fu Mingxia, hugged her neck and acted like a baby.
The moment Fu Mingxia was pushed into the operating room last year, Xu Jinhuan cried so much that she couldn't help herself. She had never realized the importance of her mother as deeply as at that moment.
After almost losing, you will cherish it more.
Fu Mingxia slapped Xu Jinhuan's hand away, "I can keep anything from you if you don't have anything to hide from me."
After dinner, the whole family sat on the sofa, ate fruit and watched TV. Fu Mingxia mentioned Xu Jinhuan and Li Buyan's marriage, "Your Uncle Li and Aunt Li want you and Buyan to get married earlier, and your father and I also mean the same thing. The wedding date is set on your birthday, what do you think?"
Xu Jinhuan's birthday is on the twenty-eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, two days before New Year's Eve.
That is, at the end of this year, she will marry Li Buyan.
Xu Jinhuan's fingers clenched tightly, and her nails dug into her palm, which hurt a little.
After a long time, she nodded: "You guys arrange it."
Fu Mingxia was overjoyed, took her daughter's hand, and said earnestly: "Mom knows that you have other thoughts in your heart, but you are still young, and there are many things you can't understand. In the future, you will understand that what Mom did is right. Don't resent Mom."
"Mom, I know, don't worry, I will make good preparations for the marriage, and I will live a good life with Buyan in the future."
Fu Mingxia stroked her daughter's hair in relief, her decision was correct, for her daughter, it was worth the knife.
After taking a shower, Xu Jinhuan was about to turn off the lights and go to bed when a text message came in on his phone.
It was Li Buyan.
I have been busy researching a big case recently, and now I have time to rest, have you fallen asleep
Xu Jinhuan thought for a while and replied.
not yet.
Then go to bed, girls staying up late is not good for your health, good night.
Li Buyan took the initiative to start the conversation, and then ended it on his own initiative. Xu Jinhuan was even a little confused about the meaning of the two text messages he sent.
She replied good night and turned off the lights.
The next day, she went to the flower shop to buy a bunch of baby's breath, and went to the cemetery to see Ren Sheng.
She put the flowers in front of Ren Sheng's tombstone, looked at his black and white photos, and felt that he was strange and familiar. The face similar to Ye Qingguo made her clearly aware of her feelings for Ye Qingguo.
To her, Ye Qingguo had already changed from a substitute to an irreplaceable one.
Xu Jinhuan knew what hardships and setbacks there would be when she was with men like Ren Sheng and Ye Qingguo, but she was willing to overcome them, at least, she was willing to try to overcome them.
But there are always many people in this world who are scared off by difficulties and are unwilling to even try.
For example, her mother.
"Shengsheng, I fell in love with someone else, will you blame me?"
"Shengsheng, I'm going to marry someone, not the one I like."
"Shengsheng, do you think I will be happy?"
"I will do my best to make you happy." A masculine male voice suddenly interjected, and Xu Jinhuan was surprised but not panicked when he heard who it was.
She turned around and looked at Li Buyan who was in police uniform, "Why are you here?"
"I was on a mission nearby, and I saw you walking this way with flowers in your arms. Come and have a look." Li Buyan walked over, held her hand, turned his feet 90 degrees, faced Ren Sheng's tombstone, and said loudly, "The person she is going to marry is me. Although she doesn't love me, I will try my best to make her fall in love with me and give her happiness."
His tone was as solemn as an oath.
Xu Jinhuan's expression was very calm, he broke away from Li Buyan's hand, said: "Let's go." Then he turned and left.
Li Buyan followed, "You don't believe me"
Xu Jinhuan: "I'm afraid that Shengsheng will get angry, so I will go to you at night."
"I believe in science." Li Buyan said with a smile: "Even if there is a ghost, if he comes to me, I will ask him for advice on how to capture your heart."
Xu Jinhuan stopped in his tracks, turned his head to look at Li Buyan's face carefully, and said after a while: "Sheng Sheng captured me with that face, you, I'm afraid you will never even think about it in this life."
Li Buyan smiled, touched his face, "I'm so ugly"
"It's not ugly, it's just not good-looking."
""
The two went down the mountain one after the other. In the parking lot of the cemetery, Li Buyan took two quick steps to catch up with Xu Jinhuan and held her wrist: "I allow you to keep someone else in your heart, but I only give you two years, and you must forget him within two years."
"What if I never forget it"
Li Buyan looked down at Xu Jinhuan's stubborn eyes, and the two of them seemed to be in a tug-of-war. After a long stalemate, Li Buyan suddenly smiled: "Then I have to extend the two-year period."
After a pause, he leaned close to Xu Jinhuan's ear and asked in a low voice, "Is one life enough?"
