Although my grandma is old, she has never been confused. Ever since she came to Night City, Chen Wenhang has never shown up. I lied to her before and said that Chen Wenhang was sent on a business trip by the company, but Chen Wenhang didn’t even make a phone call. Then It's a bit unreasonable.
In fact, such a lie can be easily exposed. My mother is pretending to be confused, but I am deceiving myself.
Now that my grandma is leaving Night City soon, she is worried about me, so she can't help but ask me.
I sat on the edge of the bed, feeling much calmer than I imagined. I was silent for more than three seconds, and then I softly replied: "Mistress, I'm telling you, but you must not get angry. Chen Wenhang and I have actually separated a long time ago." ”
Maybe my grandma had already been mentally prepared. After hearing this, she was stunned for a few seconds, and then asked: "When did it happen?"
I said, "It will be more than two months before graduation."
My grandma asked again: "Then why?"
I replied calmly: "I don't have the right personality."
My grandma held my hand and trembled slightly. I held her hand back and replied without changing my expression: "Natty, don't feel bad. I never told you because I was afraid that you would miss me. I can’t even do surgery well.”
My grandma said: "Then your father and mother have known about it for a long time?"
I hummed, "They already knew."
My dad sat on a chair, took out a cigarette and lit it. My mom turned around and said, "Go out and smoke. Mom can't smell the smoke."
After hearing this, my dad got up and left the bedroom, while my mom turned her back to me and pretended to pack things, but in fact she was secretly shedding tears.
There were several times when I was impulsive and wanted to cry, but I held it back.
Looking at my breast's eyes that instantly turned red, he smiled lightly and said, "Nay, don't be like this. If you feel uncomfortable, I should feel uncomfortable too."
My grandma looked at me with distressed eyes and couldn't say a word, so she could only hold my hand tightly.
There was a sour and depressing atmosphere in the room, and none of us made a sound. Maybe it took a minute, but my mother turned around first. She looked at my breasts and said, "Mom, don't feel bad. My son Jin told me about this a long time ago. They are destined to have no fate. Let’s just divide it.”
My eyes were red and tears were dripping from the corners of my eyes. She looked at me without blinking. I saw in her eyes full of distress and hesitation.
Tears finally couldn't help but rush to my eyes. My vision was blurred, but I stubbornly raised the corners of my lips and said with a smile: "Hey, don't cry, I'm really fine. If you don't believe me, ask my mother, I don't feel uncomfortable at all. "
I opened my mouth, my voice was choked, and I said in a low voice: "It's been seven years... How can I not feel uncomfortable at all..."
I was suddenly hit in a painful spot, and my heart felt like it was being grabbed.
My throat was choked, I swallowed hard, and then said indifferently: "I'm not married anyway, and I'm still young. After I start working, there will be a lot of good men for me to choose from, so you still worry about me not being able to get married." Well."
Saying that, I stretched out my hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of my eyes.
I knew she had a lot of things she wanted to ask me, but when the words came to her lips, she was afraid that I would be sad, so she could only hold back.
Why don't I want to hold my family and cry bitterly, telling them how much cowardice and sin I have suffered in the past two months, but I can't.
I finally know that what is unspeakable is called grievance.
My mother came over and handed tissues to me and my mother, and then said aloud: "Don't feel bad. Zijin is right. There will be no good men after work. It's just Zijin in our family. Whoever marries him will be lucky." Chen Wenhang is also not very discerning. After breaking up with Zijin, I’ll see what kind of person he can find in the future!”
In the end, my mother was deeply resentful of Chen Wenhang. This was because I didn’t tell the whole story. If she knew that Chen Wenhang didn't want me because of Zhang Xinwei, I was really afraid that she would have Chen Wenhang chopped up alive.
Before they left, they finally pierced the window paper. Although I was worried that my grandma would always miss her, it was better than deliberately hiding it all the time. No matter what happens, as time goes by, it will gradually be forgotten.
They just want me to live well, and as for whether the person next to me is Chen Wenhang, it's not actually the most important thing.
I always acted like I didn't care and just hoped they would relax and not worry about me.
My grandma told me that they had decided to leave the day after tomorrow. When I went back to the apartment that night, tears suddenly came to my eyes at the thought of them leaving.
Lying on my bed, I almost fell asleep with tears in my eyes. At 8:30 the next morning, the alarm clock on my mobile phone rang. Before I even got out of bed, I missed my mother, so I called her while lying down. Made a phone call.
The call was quickly connected, and my mother's voice came from the phone. She said, "Zijin, are you awake?"
I heard a bit of noise on her end, and the sound of a radio was faintly heard, so I asked aloud, "Where are you?"
My mother said, "Guess."
I had just woken up and my brain had not fully returned to work, so I responded lazily: "I don't know, where are you?"
My mother smiled and replied: "We are at the airport."
I suddenly became excited, straightened my back and glared, "What are you doing at the airport?"
My mother said: "Actually, we had already planned to go back to Liangcheng today. Your mother was afraid that you would feel uncomfortable, so she didn't tell you."
As I lifted the quilt and got out of bed, I replied nervously: "I'll go there right now..."
My mother said: "Come on, come on, don't bother, our plane is about to board at 8:50."
Hearing this, I immediately burst into tears and choked with sobs: "What are you doing..."
I was not even allowed to see him off. I stood by the bed, tears falling down.
My mother was also silent. I knew her eyes must be red now and she was holding her phone. I was speechless.
Sure enough, after a full ten seconds, my mother replied: "Zijin, don't cry, it's not like we can't see each other anymore. After we get home, you will video chat with us every day. Everybody can see it.”
My throat was so choked that I could hardly speak. After a while, I said, "Then you have to tell me. I still want to see you off."
My mother replied: "Originally we were sure to leave tomorrow, but if you think about it, you have a week off and you should go to work tomorrow. I don't want to delay you, so we booked a flight ticket to leave today."
I had a lot to say in my heart, but the tears were flowing so hard that I couldn't speak at all.
My mother was silent for a few seconds, then smiled and said: "Good boy, don't cry, otherwise my mother will feel uncomfortable. We know that you are having a good life in Night City, so we are relieved."
I nodded subconsciously, but quickly realized that my mother couldn't see it, so I whispered back: "Don't worry, I will take care of myself."
My mother hummed, and then said, "Wait, your dad wants to say a few words to you."
Not long after, my dad’s voice came from the phone: “Zijin.”
"Yeah, Dad."
"Zijin, Dad wants to tell you something. Wei Zheng really helped a lot at the hospital. Yesterday we went to go through the discharge procedures and tried to settle the expenses, but the hospital gave us a three-dollar bill. The bill is worth 10,000 yuan, and I won’t give you any extra money. I know that the 30,000 yuan may not be enough to cover the cost of hospitalization here. It must be Wei Zheng who is helping us behind the scenes. He refuses to accept our money. You. Thank you more for us later. If you need anything in the future, or if there is anything going on with him, you have to tell us, and we have to spend money."
My dad was right, 30,000 yuan was really not enough to pay for Rong Xin's hospital bed for one day. I didn't expect that Wei Zheng would help so much behind the scenes.
I replied aloud: "Okay, I know, I will find him later."
My dad added: "And Luo Xiangdong, the reason why Wei Zheng can help us is because of Luo Xiangdong's face, and if you work in Luo's in the future, you will inevitably have to deal with him. While your mother was in the hospital, He also sends things to the hospital. This is a huge favor, you have to find a way to pay it back. "
"Dad, don't worry, I know what you said."
I will repay those who owe Luo Xiangdong, those who owe Wei Zheng, and all the people who came to visit me while my grandma was in the hospital.
Before hanging up the phone, my dad said again: "Zijin, I asked your mother to put 100,000 yuan into your card. You are alone in Night City now and need money everywhere. You spend the money first." , When it’s not enough, we’ll call you when we get home.”
Hearing this, I immediately said: "Why are you giving me money? It's not like I have no money."
My dad said, "Okay, the money you saved from being hospitalized is also a favor you owe. This 100,000 yuan is not enough to cost the ginseng root Luo Xiangdong gave me."
I wanted to be brave and say that I would pay it back, but I was afraid that my dad and the others would miss it, so I had to say, "Okay, I'll look back and give them something to give them."
In fact, I know in my heart that Luo Xiangdong and Wei Zheng are lacking something.
Finally, my dad spoke up and said, "Zijin, you are alone outside. Take care of yourself. No matter what happens, call home. Don't embarrass yourself."
The sourness I had just suppressed came up again. I took a deep breath, held back my tears, and replied aloud: "Dad, don't worry. What kind of character is your daughter? There is no way she will suffer. You and your mother will take good care of me." Mom, call me as soon as you get home.”
My dad said hello, and after we hung up the phone, my features immediately wrinkled, and tears rushed to my eyes.
It was so uncomfortable inside that I had no time to control it, and tears burst out of my eyes.
After taking two steps back, I sat on the edge of the bed and cried loudly. After crying enough, I picked up my phone and called Xu Lu.
After Xu Lu got through, she said hello, and then said: "Well, why do you have time to call me?"
I said in a hoarse voice: "Luzi, come out and stay with me."
When Xu Lu heard that I was crying, she immediately asked nervously: "What's wrong? What happened?"
I said: "My parents and my mother are gone."
Xu Lu paused and said immediately: "Where are you? I'll be right over."
I said: "Luzi, can you call Jianan too?"
Xu Lu said: "What do you want her to do?"
I cried and replied: "The house is empty, my family has left again, and now I only have you two acquaintances left in Night City. I don't want to lose Jianan too..."
