Chapter 143
Xu Ziran, who hadn’t cried for many years, couldn’t even remember what she said later. She only remembered that while she was crying, she said a lot, probably more than what she had said to her mother in the past five years combined.
She cried and said, until finally her father came out and looked at their mother and said in surprise, “What happened? Was it bombed? Should I call the hospital?”
Mother Xu pushed him in and told him not to talk nonsense.
After that, Xu Ziran and Qiu Yurou talked about the cause and effect. Qiu Yurou said that she would come over that day, and then she felt that she needed to prepare something, and then said that it was the next day.
Xu Ziran heard that her words were no longer as organized as before, and knew that the other party was more nervous than she thought, so she comforted: “Don’t rush over here, after all…”
What Xu Ziran is thinking here is that although her mother accepted this matter in her words, she is definitely not without her own pimples. If she has a sense of presence in front of her now, she probably won’t be able to please her. All embarrassed.
But when I was about to say it, I felt it was inappropriate, so I turned and said, “I have to visit relatives these days, and we didn’t agree before that I will go to your place on the fifth day of the first day.”
What Qiu Yurou thought of: “Speaking of which, my mother was still talking to me yesterday… um, something more pessimistic.”
Xu Ziran could probably imagine what Ms. Shen said. She felt that she had the confidence now, and she thought that the other party was her mother-in-law and could not easily offend her, so she just avoided the important and said lightly: “After all, Auntie knew about our affairs for a long time. There are bound to be some ideas.”
Qiu Yurou said, “That’s my fault. If I knew this would happen, I wouldn’t tell her.”
Xu Ziran was taken aback: “Ah? You said what happened to us.”
Qiu Yurou fell silent.
Xu Ziran thought that the other party was embarrassed to say it, and didn’t want Qiu Yurou to be embarrassed, so she quickly wanted to change the subject, but she didn’t expect the other party to say when she was about to speak: “I told her a long time ago, at that time, I thought it was nothing, but now Thinking about it, it’s still a bit reckless.”
Xu Ziran asked curiously, “When?”
“When I fell in love with you.”
“When was that?”
“Second year of high school, one night, I suddenly said that I didn’t seem to have known Fan Yijia for a long time at that time.”
…
The two suddenly recalled the past, and they were out of control. As soon as they said it was late, Mother Xu urged her to finish the meal.
The usual life is so busy that it seems that I can’t notice the passage of time. However, when I fall into the memory, I realize that time is in a hurry, and so many years have passed.
There have been very few relatives walking around in Xu Ziran’s house these years, but after all, there are still some, so the next two days were really spent eating at various relatives’ houses.
When the seven aunts and eight aunts get together, it is inevitable that the parents are short-sighted.
Xu Ziran revealed a little earlier that she was starting a business, but she didn’t clearly say what company it was. Her parents didn’t know much about this. They only knew that Xu Ziran was not bad at the moment, but they were based on the ideas of the older generation. Although Xu Ziran repeatedly It was stated that the money was just pocket money, and all the money Xu Ziran gave them was deposited in the bank.
But it was a large sum of money. When it was revealed, relatives knew that Xu Ziran was now successful in his career, so he was able to treat him differently and become a “children’s family”.
Xu Ziran maintained a high degree of coldness throughout the whole process, so as not to be entangled.
She originally thought that the next few days would pass in such a bland way, but she didn’t expect that on the fourth day of the fourth day, when the whole family had breakfast, Xu’s mother suddenly said abruptly, “Why haven’t Rou Rou been here for the past two days.”
There is nothing wrong with what she said, because in the past few years, Qiu Yurou spent the New Year at her house.
Xu Ziran choked on the porridge, looked up at her mother first, and then at her father.
Her father ate the mustard with a calm face, while her mother stared at her.
Xu Ziran said vaguely, “Aren’t her parents here this year?”
After dinner, when Xu Ziran was washing the dishes, her mother came over again and whispered beside her: “Your dad doesn’t know about you yet, I’ll tell him secretly later.”
Xu Ziran always thought that her father was more enlightened than her mother, but she didn’t expect her mother to persuade her father when such a thing happened.
Mother Xu said again: “Do you think that Rou Rou will come over and I will be uncomfortable?”
Xu Ziran had this idea. She scratched her face embarrassedly with her fingers, and when she put it down, she realized that her fingers were full of foam of detergent, so now her face is also stained.
Mother Xu glanced at her in disgust and said, “You child has always been like this. You are not big, but you have a big heart.”
Xu Ziran has always been a thoughtful person, but she has always been praised in the past, and she has never been disliked like this. She thought to herself, this is definitely her mother’s right.
Not to mention that Mother Xu also added: “I just look big, but I still have no heart. It’s clear that I’ve already said it, and it’s chilling to worry about it.”
Xu Ziran was stunned at first, and then suddenly realized.
Thinking about it carefully, Qiu Yurou’s mother has indeed expressed her attitude, and she is the only one who is looking ahead.
Mother Xu said again, “Why hasn’t Rou Rou been here these two days?”
Xu Ziran said embarrassedly, “I thought it would be embarrassing to meet.”
“It’s embarrassing. I grew up watching Rourou, so what could be wrong.” She glanced at Xu Ziran, “It’s you, don’t bully her.”
Xu Ziran didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. After washing the dishes, she called Qiu Yurou and told her about it.
Qiu Yurou said, “Then I’ll come over tomorrow, do you want to bring some gifts?”
Xu Ziran said, “It’s good to bring some wine and a gift bag. Like in previous years, if it’s too much, it will look unnatural.”
Qiu Yurou agreed.
Thinking of her mother’s previous words, Xu Ziran hesitated: “Fish, do you think I’m thinking too much?”
Qiu Yurou laughed on the other end of the phone, her breath sprayed on the microphone, making Xu Ziran feel itchy for some reason, and the other party whispered, “Then do you want to hear the truth or the lie?”
Xu Ziran said, “Of course it’s the truth.”
Qiu Yurou deliberately paused for a long time, until Xu Ziran urged her to say, “I sometimes think you think too much – but I think everything you think is necessary.”
Xu Ziran didn’t expect this, but it seemed to be expected.
She thought quite contentedly in her heart, in Qiu Yurou’s place, of course she is good everywhere.
Qiu Yurou said gently: “I know you are thinking of me, but I just hope you can tell me all this in the future.”
Xu Ziran realized that there was something in the other party’s words, and when she thought about it carefully, Xu Ziran had to admit that she did hide a lot of things from Qiu Yurou—of course there were some things she couldn’t say, but there were some things she could say, but she didn’t think it was necessary, so she didn’t say it.
And now she realizes that her behavior is actually more insecure.
Xu Ziran said, “I know I was wrong.”
Qiu Yurou didn’t know whether to laugh or cry: “I didn’t ask you to admit your mistake.”
Next, the two agreed to form an agreement, saying that Xu Ziran would pick her up the next morning.
Xu Ziran thought that she woke up early the next day, but she didn’t expect that when she got up to brush her teeth and wash her face, her mother was already ready to go out to buy food. Judging by her posture, she was going to have a big meal.
So even Xu Ziran became nervous. When driving, he found that the palms of his hands touching the steering wheel were sweaty.
She looked at herself in the rearview mirror, and found that she looked calm under the light makeup, so she took a deep breath, and when she was about to exhale, she suddenly narrowed her eyes.
At the corner of the back road, a car was parked.
Because it’s a small place, Xu Ziran knows almost everyone around here, so of course he knows what kind of car they have – and it’s an unfamiliar Honda.
Xu Ziran drove the car away suspiciously. Seeing that the car didn’t follow, he thought that he was probably thinking too much.
She put aside her distracting thoughts, after all, when she arrived at Qiu Yurou’s house, there was still a tough battle to be fought.
When he arrived at Qiu Yurou’s house, Xu Ziran saw Shen Feiyao’s expression and knew that Qiu Yurou had told her what she had confessed to – but it seemed that Shen Feiyao was even more unhappy, stabbed Xu Ziran strangely, and hurriedly returned to the room .
It was Father Qi who greeted her and explained to her, “She has something to do, a professional relationship.”
Xu Ziran nodded in understanding.
But speaking of it, Xu Ziran was more afraid to talk to Qiu Mingtai than to talk to Shen Feiyao. The other party naturally looked like an assistant professor, which reminded Xu Ziran of the courses she was about to fail.
Qiu Yurou was going to take the bag and go directly with Xu Ziran, but when he was about to go out, Qiu Mingtai suddenly said that he could not find a book, and asked Qiu Yurou to help her find it, so Xu Ziran had to sit in the living room and wait for her, by the way. Qiu Mingtai looked at each other in dismay.
Qiu Mingtai took a sip of water and suddenly said, “I’m coming back tonight.”
Xu Ziran was stunned.
“If it’s too late, I’ll find someone to pick her up.” Qiu Mingtai added, “The world has not been peaceful recently.”
Xu Ziran was thoughtful.
On the way back, Xu Ziran told Qiu Yurou what Qiu Mingtai said, and asked, “So your dad came back this time, really for you.”
Qiu Yurou seemed to be in disbelief: “I thought he didn’t care about anything about me.”
Xu Ziran was also very emotional: “So guess what, when I came back this time, I found out that I didn’t know my family.”
She thought that her mother would be as hysterical as she wanted to force the marriage in her previous life, but she didn’t expect that this time she would just let it go. She was also thinking about this for the past two days, and found that it would be like that in her previous life.
First, she communicated less with her family in her previous life, and secondly… At that time, Tian Jiaqi was indeed fanning the flames.
Xu Ziran wanted to meet Tian Jiaqi next time, and she might beat Tian Jiaqi before breaking up.
She was driving when a phone call suddenly came, Qiu Yurou answered it for her, said a few words, then put the phone to her ear and said, “It’s Luo Feifei.”
Luo Feifei said on the opposite side: “I can finally find time to call you. Have you been having a good time recently? Do you think the sun is brighter?”
Xu Ziran was amused by her, just as he was about to say something, his eyes fluttered through the rearview mirror, his expression stunned.
She changed her words and said, “Are you sure everything is alright?”
“Can it be fake?”
Xu Ziran lowered his face: “Then why, there is a car following us?”
