Today is Friday. Zhao Ziqiu happened to have a dinner party outside the school with a few girls who slept with him in the evening. Suddenly he received a call from his mother. Zhao Ziqiu didn’t think much about it. He picked up the phone and pressed the answer button. She called out sweetly. He shouted: "Mom!"
Xie Yun's voice was full of sullenness as she asked her: "What are you doing?"
Zhao Ziqiu was surprised when he heard that his mother's tone was wrong, and said nervously: "I'm having dinner with my sisters in the dormitory, what's wrong, Mom?"
"Let me ask you." Xie Yun asked her directly angrily: "What is your relationship with Li Mu?"
Zhao Ziqiu stood up hurriedly and came out of the private room. Then he covered the phone receiver and whispered: "Mom, what's wrong with you today? It's weird."
Xie Yun's voice was sharp: "Answer my question!"
Zhao Ziqiu suddenly felt guilty and hesitantly said: "Mom, Li Mu is my boyfriend. Didn't you promise us to be together a long time ago?"
Xie Yun asked her: "How did I hear that Li Mu also has a girlfriend, and she is in the National People's Congress like him?"
Zhao Ziqiu suddenly panicked and said with a trembling voice: "Mom, who did you listen to?"
Xie Yun said: "Don't ask me who told me this. Let me ask you, did Li Mu and that girl break up?"
"that… "
"What is that? Broken up or not broken up, choose one!"
Zhao Ziqiu was so confused that he wanted to lie, but when he thought that his mother had already asked about this matter, he must have had some understanding in advance. Lying by himself might not solve the problem, but might make things worse, so I had no choice but to say two words under tremendous psychological pressure: "It's not over yet..."
"Zhao Ziqiu!" Xie Yun suddenly became anxious and rebuked angrily: "You are trying to make me and your father angry to death!"
"Mom, please listen to my explanation..." Zhao Ziqiu was panicked and ashamed, and tears suddenly burst into his eyes.
When Xie Yun heard that Zhao Ziqiu was crying on the phone, her heart softened a lot. However, the anger in her stomach did not decrease much. Instead, she felt a little more distressed for her daughter. This feeling made her particularly uncomfortable.
The mother and daughter were silent on the phone for a long time. Xie Yun sighed and was the first to break the silence. Her voice was much gentler: "Stop crying, Zi Qiu. Mom will go to Yanjing tomorrow. You call Li Mu and tell me that I will go to Yanjing tomorrow." meet him."
Zhao Ziqiu became even more panicked and asked her hurriedly: "Mom, why are you seeing Li Mu?"
After saying that, Zhao Ziqiu was afraid that his mother would have objections to Li Mu, so he hurriedly explained: "Mom, don't misunderstand Li Mu, everything I do with him is of my own free will."
"Of course Mom knows that you volunteered, but can volunteering solve the problem?" Xie Yun was helpless and sighed: "Mom has to fight for a justifiable identity for you, otherwise how long are you going to maintain this relationship with Li Mu?"
Zhao Ziqiu said in a pleading tone: "Mom, I know my own affairs well, so please don't get involved, okay?"
Xie Yun said: "Okay, if I don't get involved, let your dad do it. Or should I choose one of the two? Should I solve it or your dad should solve it?"
After saying that, Xie Yun said again: "No, it's one of three! Or your dad and I can solve it together!"
Zhao Ziqiu begged in a low voice: "Can you let me solve it myself..."
"No!" Xie Yun said categorically: "Tomorrow is the weekend, you just stay at school and don't go anywhere. I'll book your flight ticket for tomorrow right away. I'll tell you the details when we meet!"
"Mom..." Zhao Ziqiu still wanted to beg.
Xie Yun no longer gave her any room: "Zhao Ziqiu, I have already taken great care of you by not telling your father about this for the time being. If you still insist on pushing the envelope, your father and I will go to Yanjing to find you tomorrow!"
Zhao Ziqiu felt aggrieved and scared, fearing that her mother would really tell her father what happened, so he had to say to her: "Then it's up to you, mother, to do it yourself. Can you not notify Li Mu first?"
"Okay." Xie Yun said, "Wait for me at school."
…
After hanging up her daughter's phone call, Xie Yun felt very uncomfortable. Originally, her daughter had found a boyfriend like Li Mu, and she, as a mother, was very satisfied with it. But today she found out that Li Mu actually had a daughter in the National People's Congress. My friend, all the satisfaction Xie Yun had towards Li Mu completely disappeared in an instant.
Xie Yun even wished she could fly to Yanjing to question her face to face, who did this kid think her daughter was? Is the daughter of the Zhao family something you can play with casually? No matter how rich and capable you are, what will happen
However, when she thought of her daughter's voice on the phone and her attitude towards Li Mu, Xie Yun was really worried that her daughter was willing to maintain such an unclear relationship with Li Mu, or willingly accepted Li Mu's bullying. If this is what the two boats did, she, as a mother, would feel very uncomfortable.
Xie Yun returned home feeling a little dejected. Zhao Xianliang hadn't come back yet. She was alone and upset. She took a bottle of whiskey from the wine cabinet, paid it with a few ice cubes, and drank it with a frown to relieve her sorrow.
After Xie Yun drank three small glasses of whiskey alone, Zhao Xianliang came back.
Zhao Xianliang and Zhong Xinhua also drank wine at dinner. Xie Yun could judge how much he drank through his face and the state of his eyes. At present, it seems that he drank seven or eight liang of wine. This amount of alcohol is not enough for Zhao Xianliang. , which is in just the right state.
Xie Yun also drank some wine. Although she had the urge to chat with Zhao Xianliang several times, she gave up after thinking about it. She had to abide by her promise to her daughter. She decided to help her daughter solve this matter by herself. If you really can't solve it yourself, let your husband take action when the time comes.
She knew that men loved their daughters more. If Zhao Xianliang found out about this, whether it was his daughter's choice or not, he would probably have to go to Yanjing to fight Li Mu on a chartered flight tonight.
The two couples were lying on the bed. Zhao Xianliang was slightly drunk and was about to fall asleep as soon as he lay down. Xie Yun suddenly shook him awake and said to him: "I want to go to Yanjing tomorrow."
Zhao Xianliang was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses and asked her in surprise: "Why are you suddenly going to Yanjing in the middle of the night?"
Xie Yun said: "I miss Ziqiu. Let's go see her."
Zhao Xianliang said: "Then there's no need to do it right away when you think of it, right? We just came back from Yanjing a few days ago. If you miss her, just wait a few more days and I will go with you."
"I don't need you to accompany me." Xie Yun said, "I just miss her and want to see her. I want to go shopping and eat with her like a best friend. It's not appropriate for a grown man like you to follow her."
Zhao Xianliang thought for a while and said, "Since you want to go, then go ahead. I have business arrangements tomorrow so I won't go with you."
"Okay." Xie Yun said, "I'll try to come back on Monday."
Zhao Xianliang hummed and asked again: "Then when will you leave?"
"Leave tomorrow morning, go to the airport and take the earliest flight possible."
Zhao Xianliang nodded and said: "By the way, I gave you some tea. It's in a red and black box in the study cabinet. This tea is usually not available to ordinary people. You can bring a box for Li Mu to try." "
Xie Yun said subconsciously: "Don't let him taste it!"
Zhao Xianliang didn't expect his wife to react so radically, and asked in surprise: "Isn't that how you always talk about Li Mu as your future son-in-law? Are you still distressed when you bring him a box of tea?"
Xie Yun hurriedly covered it up: "My heart won't hurt, my hands will hurt. I don't want to carry my luggage back and forth. I will go empty-handed tomorrow to save trouble."
Zhao Xianliang had no choice but to nod his head: "As long as you are happy, I have no objection."
…
Early the next morning, Xie Yun took a flight from Hangzhou to Yanjing at around eight o'clock.
The first-class newspapers and magazines were all up-to-date. Xie Yun browsed through some and found that the headlines were almost all about two things. One was about Makino Technology chartering a flight to send employees to the United States, and the other was about Li Mu. The speech that inspired the nation.
Xie Yun flipped through these newspapers and magazines at random, then threw them aside without interest. She didn't want to pay attention to the positive news about Li Mu now. She just wanted to rush to Yanjing and find her daughter to find out what was going on. .
At around 10:30 in the morning, Xie Yun came out of the airport and got into a taxi. Then she called Zhao Ziqiu and said as soon as she landed, "I landed. Now I'll take a taxi to your school. I'll let you know when I'm almost there. Then you can go to school." Come out and wait for me on the roadside, and you will stay with me at Ziyun Villa for the next two days."
Zhao Ziqiu didn't dare to disobey, so he agreed immediately.
When Xie Yun's taxi arrived at the People's Gate Building, Zhao Ziqiu was already waiting on the roadside at the school gate with a double bag on his back.
As soon as Zhao Ziqiu got in the car, he looked at Xie Yun's disgusted face and felt very guilty. He could only tentatively ask Xie Yun: "Mom, are you tired from the journey?"
Xie Yun said expressionlessly: "People are not tired, but their hearts are tired."
Zhao Ziqiu gritted his teeth and said, "Mom, don't think so much. If you are more open-minded about everything, you will naturally not feel tired.
Xie Yun rolled her eyes at Zhao Ziqiu and said, "What tricks are you playing on me now? I tell you, it's too late."
Zhao Ziqiu's face was full of embarrassment.
At this time, the two male and female anchors reporting news on the car radio spoke. One of the male anchors said: "Chen Lei, since yesterday, do you know what the big news is spreading everywhere?"
The female host known as Chen Lei smiled and said: "Of course I know. Isn't that big news Li Mu's speech? I heard it was particularly popular, is that true?"
"Of course." The male host said, "Li Mu was really awesome this time. His speech made my blood boil. I wanted to quit my job and learn computer technology."
The female host laughed and said: "Liang Long, it would be great if you really learned computer science. From now on, if my computer crashes or I need to reinstall the system, it will all depend on you."
At this time, Xie Yun in the car was a little unhappy and said to the driver: "Master, please turn off the radio."
