Sometimes in life, it takes a little bet to make a breakthrough.
As long as the probability is greater than 50% and the situation is controllable, Xue Xue tends to bet bravely.
Fortunately, this time she won.
What Chen Wenhua thinks is not within Xue Xue's consideration, as for what Yi Lang thinks...
The phone rang.
Xue Xue picked up the phone.
"Have you found anyone?"
"no."
"Did you seriously help me check?" The short words made Xue Xue snort. "Professional leave?"
"Heh." The baritone on the opposite side uttered a sneer. "You should be the one who took the professional leave, Xue Zhiyou. You are so old and still chasing stars. You actually went to be a reporter for a magazine because of him. Your parents' cultivation of you is really a waste."
"...Xue Jinian, why is your mouth so cheap?"
"It's just each other." Xue Jinian paused. "What's the matter with you today?"
After maintaining the same posture for too long, Xue Xue, who had a stiff neck, switched to holding the phone.
"What's the matter?"
"You wouldn't talk to me like this before."
"Oh? Otherwise, how should I talk to you?" Xue Xue, who had been exposed, asked calmly, "Chinian, in good conscience, I've been thinking a lot these days."
Although it wasn't obvious, Xue Xue could still feel that Xue Jinian's breathing became heavier on the other end of the phone.
"My parents are getting older, and we are not young people who can do whatever we want." Xue Xue raised her head and looked at the family portrait that Xue Zhiyou put on the TV cabinet. "Reconcile, Xue Jinian."
In fact, in the past ten years, the relationship between Xue Zhiyou and Xue Zhinian has indeed eased a lot.
A more precise turning point was the day when Xue Zhiyou almost jumped into a river in high school.
On that day, Xue Zhiyou's thoughts of suicide were dispelled by the words of the young man Yi Lang.
But she didn't go back to school either, she just wandered aimlessly along the river bank until the sun went down and the night was hanging before she walked in the direction of going home.
And at home, it was already a mess.
Ye Wen always felt uneasy after talking on the phone with her daughter. Although she asked for leave from the teacher for her according to Xue Zhiyou's words, she still felt that something was wrong, and when she called Xue Zhiyou's mobile phone, she couldn't answer it.
Ye Wen immediately called Xue Yonghua and asked him to try to contact Xue Zhiyou.
She managed to endure the meeting with the manufacturer and successfully signed a contract for the supply of materials that she worked hard for more than half a year, but Ye Wen did not feel any joy, she just missed her daughter who was still missing.
She and Xue Yonghua went to look for it separately, one hour, two hours, three hours... Until Xue Jinian came home from school and saw her parents in distress, after asking about the situation, she pursed her lips tightly and did not speak.
"Call the police."
he said.
Xue Yonghua glanced at him, helpless and depressed.
"It's been less than 24 hours since Zhiyou disappeared, and the police can't handle it."
"… "
The three looked at each other silently.
"It's all my fault..." Ye Wen choked. "I should have expected that Zhiyou wouldn't call me for no reason, but I actually, for work..."
Xue Yonghua took his self-blaming wife into his arms.
"I don't blame you, how can I blame you? If I say it wrong, I am also wrong. In recent years, for work, I have neglected the children too much, and Chinen is also..."
Xue Jinian's heart was complicated when he saw his parents' guilt and sad eyes.
When he was a child, his parents left him alone at home with his nanny for the sake of his sister. The memory of "depending on each other" is too deep. The young child couldn't ponder the reason behind it, but subconsciously felt uneasy and panicked, and felt that he had been left behind.
Because of his sister, he will be left behind.
Although the nanny only said such a sentence jokingly at that time, it has since been deeply rooted in Xue Jinian's mind.
Intimacy and dependence are gone, replaced by resentment and resentment.
Although Xue Zhinian also understood the difficulties of his parents and the hardships Xue Zhiyou experienced as he got older, the negative emotions had settled in his heart for so long that it had become a habit.
Later, Xue Zhiyou came back safely, and honestly spoke out his thoughts.
In exchange, Ye Wen gave a merciless slap.
Although the slap hit Xue Zhiyou on the face, it also reflected in Xue Zhinian's heart.
"You stupid boy!"
Ye Wen hugged Xue Zhiyou tightly in her arms, the mother and daughter cried together, and the moment he met his father, the little boy who lived in his heart seemed to have grown up in an instant.
Since then, the relationship between siblings is no longer tense. Although it cannot be restored to the intimacy of childhood, how can it be possible to maintain the friendship between people. For Ye Wen and Xue Yonghua, this is already a Best result yet.
but…
Thinking of Xue Zhiyou's wish, Xue Xue decided to work harder.
"Xue Jinian." Her tone softened. "I think we..."
Before I could say the words "should have a good talk", the sound of "beep, beep, beep..." could be heard.
Xue Jinian hung up her phone.
Xue Xue: "..."
