Chapter 206: Let Me Go Tomorrow
"I'm fine. ”
Lan Xiaotian took advantage of the lack of attention to hide the phone in his pocket.
"Then why were you looking at your phone in a daze just now?"
Ji Hangcheng and Yan Ziqi's wedding was only spread on the Internet, although it was very grand, but it had not yet reached the point where everyone knew about it, Mianmian was in the hospital, and she rarely touched her mobile phone, so she naturally didn't find out.
Of course, Lan Xiaotian would not choose to tell her at this time, think about it, if Mianmian knew about it, it would be a lot of trouble.
"Oh, I had something to attend to just now, Mianmian, do you want to eat now?"
"I don't want to eat, Aunt Xiaotian, I miss my mother. ”
has been in contact with Mianmian for so long, and almost all Lan Xiaotian heard from her mouth was that she missed her father, and for the first time, she heard her say that she missed her mother.
"What's the matter, is there something unhappy about it? or I'll get your father." ”
Lan Xiaotian knew that Mianmian's mother was dead, and when the child missed her relatives the most, it was right that she should be accompanied by the people closest to her.
As soon as she spoke, Mianmian shook her head desperately, "I don't want to, I don't want to see him, Aunt Xiaotian, actually... Actually, I didn't want my dad at all, it was my mom who liked him very much, so I pretended to like him. Before, I longed for my father, but when I first met him, I knew that he didn't like me as a daughter at all. ”
“...”
Lan Xiaotian looked at Mianmian incredulously, she admitted that she was frightened, this thing didn't sound like what a nine-year-old girl would say, shouldn't they still be immersed in the happiest princess dream at this age?
How did she get here, she couldn't find anything positive on her body except for seeing endless sadness, which was terrible, really terrible.
At the same time, Lan Xiaotian had the idea of having a child, she wondered if she had an unhappy married life and had a child in the future, would she be the same as Mianmian in the end.
For a long time, Lan Xiaotian couldn't hold back a word.
"Aunt Xiaotian, I really miss my mother, I know that she is the best for me in this world. But I also knew that she would never come back, and she deliberately lied to me so that she would work far away, when in fact I knew she was dead, and if she died, I would never find her again in this world. ”
Her thin fingers kept twisting the corners of the quilt, and she pressed her head very low, and tears fell drop by drop, seeping into the quilt.
"Mianmian, don't think so, I secretly tell you, in fact, Aunt Xiaotian also lost her father when she was very young, and every time I think about him, I cry a lot, and then my mother told me that if I miss him, I will look up at the moon in the sky, and say that my father lives there, and he will always be with me. ”
This is just a comfort, Lan Xiaotian has always understood it, at first she felt that this was a complete lie, there was nothing on the moon, how to live in people.
Later, the lies she didn't believe when she was a child became the light of faith in her heart when she grew up, and she relied on that light, whenever she encountered difficulties, she would look up at the moon in the sky, and then get ready to face life again.
Similarly, today's Mianmian is the same as when she was a child, she doesn't believe this kind of words.
"No, Aunt Xiaotian, when a person dies, there is nothing, and my mother does not live on the moon. ”
"Then let her live in your heart, when you miss your mother, you will silently miss her in your heart, and tell her what happy things you have done recently, is this also a good way?"
Mianmian thought about it, and finally nodded, "Okay." ”
"Well, Mianmian, you must live a good life, don't let down your mother, you know?"
"Yes. ”
Although Mianmian has not improved, Lan Xiaotian feels that she is already thankful, not to mention anything else, at least she is willing to communicate, this is a big step towards success.
"Awesome, Mianmian, is there anything you particularly want to go to, if so, you must tell me, will I take you there?"
Mianmian is still too young to be treated with medication all the time, and the most she should receive is psychological therapy.
"Good~"
*
Coming out of the hospital, Lan Xiaotian went back to the research institute, and recently their director didn't mention how much he cared about Mianmian's case, almost every three or two days, he had to ask a few words.
Calculating the time, it was almost the day of the routine "greeting", so Lan Xiaotian sent it to the door by himself.
"Knock knock—"
"Come in. ”
Lan Xiaotian pushed the door in, "Director, do you have time now?" I'm here to report to you." ”
"Yes, yes, how not. ”
Lu Jian, the leader of Lan Xiaotian, is a man about forty years old, born in the 70s, with a style of left and right, coaxing the leader from above, and grasping his subordinates below, a particularly capable person.
"Come, Xiaotian come and sit, haha, you've been working hard lately. ”
Lu Jian put down his work and came to the sofa next to him with Lan Xiaotian, the smile on his face made people feel very enthusiastic.
"Thank you for your concern, I'm fine. ”
Lan Xiaotian actually had no choice, when Dong Qiyang came to the door, she was actually not ready to go to the business, so she felt that it was purely a help between friends, but she didn't expect that this matter still leaked the news, Lu Jian knew about it, and he wanted to deal with this case as a special event.
He even promised a lot of benefits that Lan Xiaotian might not be able to achieve in five years in the research institute.
"Eh, my God, how is Chairman Ji's daughter doing lately?"
After a simple greeting, Lu Jian got straight to the point.
"It's good, it's slowly recovering. Lan Xiaotian's words are purely an inertial lie in the workplace, and the situation is actually not much better, but it is taboo for their psychological circle to tell the truth, no matter what the real situation is, it is right to say that there is progress anyway.
"Oh, that's good, I'm telling you that this is not a trivial matter, the other party is the daughter of Chairman Ji's, you must care more, I don't want you to do other things now, you can do a good job in this case, be enthusiastic, and communicate with others more." ”
Who does this "family" refer to, Lan Xiaotian understands very well in his heart, Lu Jian's meaning is nothing more than asking her to tie Ji Hangcheng more, and give them a little resource when the time comes.
Lan Xiaotian herself was very disgusted with this, she wanted to tell Lu Jian that she was enthusiastic last time and was ready to be kicked by others, if she cared too much, I am afraid that Ji Hangcheng would directly replace her.
But I can only say this in my heart, after all, the tens of thousands of dollars in the annual evaluation are still very tempting for an ordinary single parent girl from a working-class family in an eighth-tier city.
"Okay, leader, I know. ”
"Well, don't be embarrassed, after all, people are not ordinary people, and we want to make them feel that we need more humane things in addition to our professionalism. I know that you are very hard, and many times you work in your spare time, but special affairs, at this time, personal interests must be minimized, anyway, no matter what needs of that child, you will meet her, you will concentrate on treating her, and I will find someone to do all the tedious work for you. ”
Lu Jian crackled and said a lot, Lan Xiaotian's ears were calloused, and she understood what her leader meant, that is, she wanted her to tie up Ji Hangcheng and respond to her requests.
Lan Xiaotian actually wanted to say that there was no need for this, but in the end, the words were still suppressed by those tens of thousands of yuan.
"Okay, I know, leader, I'll work hard. ”
"Okay! Xiaotian, I will give priority to you this time in the annual advance of the firm, and I will also tell my comrades-in-arms about your boyfriend's entry into the law firm, as long as he passes the written test, there will be basically no problem with the interview. ”
As soon as Lan Xiaotian heard Lu Jian's promise, her eyes immediately lit up with golden light, she thought that if she could really successfully let Cheng Jie enter the law firm this time, then she would be willing to become a tired dog.
"Thank you leader, thank you leader, I will live up to expectations and try to do my best to add glory to us!"
"Uh-huh!"
*
On the way home, Lan Xiaotian couldn't be happier, she thought that if Cheng Jie successfully entered the lawyer profession and held the iron rice bowl, then they would be able to gain a foothold in Shencheng very safely.
It was precisely because of this joy that Lan Xiaotian swept away the haze left by the quarrel a few days ago, and she took the initiative to call Cheng Jie and ask him to go to their favorite hot pot restaurant before.
At eight o'clock in the evening, it was already past dinner time, but business was still booming in this Internet celebrity hot pot restaurant, and several people sat around the table and ate happily. Ground floor
"Gollum"
The red soup pot was burning, and Lan Xiaotian took a piece of hairy belly and put it in Cheng Jie's bowl.
"Xiaojie, come and eat it while it's hot, seven up and eight down, no more than fifteen seconds, no less, your favorite. Lan Xiaotian had a smile on his face, and there was a little flattery in his words.
Cheng Jie is not a person who has to give inches, and when he saw Lan Xiaotian taking the initiative to give the steps like this, he was unwilling to hold it all the time.
He picked up the hairy belly and ate it very respectfully.
"Is it delicious?" Lan Xiaotian shuttled back and forth on Cheng Jie's face with an expectant gaze.
"Well, it's delicious. ”
"Hehe, it's delicious, Xiaojie, I'm sorry, I had a bad temper the other day, it was my fault, I shouldn't be angry with you because of work. But don't worry, I'll try to end this case as soon as possible so that I can have more time to read with you. ”
Lan Xiaotian mentioned reading books, Cheng Jie suddenly had a feeling of losing his appetite, but because he took into account that the two had just rebuilt the old friendship, he didn't show much resistance, but just changed the topic and asked, "Eh, is your director putting pressure on you again?"
Regarding Lu Jian, Cheng Jie also knows a little bit through Lan Xiaotian's mouth.
"Okay, there's always going to be pressure, but it's part of my job. ”
Lan Xiaotian didn't want to talk about it much, now she just wanted to complete this thing perfectly and get what she wanted.
"Yes, I think you've been very busy since you took over this child, and I can't see your figure a lot of the time, Xiaotian, shouldn't you be so interested because the other party is the daughter of Chairman Ji's? or..."
Or is there some other reason, Cheng Jie did not continue at this point.
“...”
But Lan Xiaotian still listened, her fingers holding the chopsticks tightened, her lips pursed into a line, and the time passed minute by minute, and the hot pot restaurant was full of people, and no one noticed the unusual silence on their side.
After brewing for a long time, Cheng Jie suddenly put down his chopsticks, he held Lan Xiaotian's hand and said softly: "I'm sorry, I don't mean anything else, Xiaotian, I know that you are a very hard-working person, everything you do is for our future, I am just very worried about your body." Also, I feel like I can't get used to the fact that you haven't been with me for so long, so what I said may not be right, and I apologize to you. ”
Seeing Cheng Jie's attitude softened, Lan Xiaotian's heart felt like something had been torn apart, she pursed her lips and shook her head, "It's okay, I don't blame you, I promise you, I'll accompany you after I'm busy with this case, don't you want to go to the singer's concert the most? I'll accompany you next time." ”
"Okay, but recently I found a particularly interesting place, we can go there first, how about this Saturday, there is a group buying event. ”
Saturday?
Lan Xiaotian thought that he had nothing to do, and it was said that Ji Hangcheng was looking for a new nanny recently, so she shouldn't be needed for this matter, so he happily agreed.
"Okay. ”
"Uh-huh, let's eat. ”
In this way, the little couple reconciled again.
*
However, the plan couldn't catch up with the change, and on Friday, Mianmian suddenly proposed to go to the zoo on Saturday, and specified that Ji Hangcheng and Lan Xiaotian would accompany him.
This is very demonic, what is the relationship between Lan Xiaotian and Ji Hangcheng, how can they take a child to the zoo together.
When Mianmian proposed this idea, Lan Xiaotian's first reaction was to refuse, but suddenly Lu Jian's face and his words flashed in her mind.
"Little God, you must devote 100% of your energy to the case of Chairman Ji's daughter. ”
"Xiaotian, I will give priority to you if you are advanced in the year. ”
"Xiaotian, I've already said hello at the law firm. ”
“...”
The messy words converged into a pile of straw and blocked in his throat, making Lan Xiaotian feel like a fish in his throat, and he couldn't say a word about what he wanted to say.
Fortunately, what she couldn't say, Ji Hangcheng said.
"I'm sorry, Mianmian, I can't promise you this request, if you want to go to the zoo, I can ask Aunt Xiaoyan to accompany you. ”
As soon as Ji Hangcheng's voice fell, Mianmian resisted, "I don't want her! I don't want her to go with me! I want Aunt Xiaotian, she is really good to me, I want her to go, Dad, I don't want to be unhappy, why do you have to make me unhappy?"
Tears came as soon as she said it, Mianmian sat on the bed and cried, her shoulders twitched, and she looked like she was going to cry anytime and anywhere, but even so, Ji Hangcheng did not relent.
He doesn't want to go out with a person of the opposite sex casually, if he goes, it will be irresponsible to Yan Ziqi, he can't say that he has no bottom line to ignore another person's feelings because he takes into account his emotions.
"I said, if you want to go, I can accompany you with Aunt Xiaoyan, Mianmian, the purpose of you want to go to the zoo is to see that the animals are playing, not to care about who the person who accompanies you is. ”
"Uh, Mr. Ji..."
Lan Xiaotian just wanted to dissuade him from saying such a thing, but Mianmian made a fuss before her.
I saw that she ran to the window at once, and then leaned out half of her body, and said very emotionally: "I don't want it! I said I don't want it, why do you force me? Dad, didn't you say that I was your daughter? But why is there a father like you in the world, I just want to go out and have fun with you, what did I do wrong?"
"If you don't love me, then don't pay attention to me. ”
Lan Xiaotian was frightened, she hurriedly stepped forward to reassure: "Mianmian, don't be excited, is there anything we can discuss slowly? Otherwise, will you think about it, Aunt Xiaotian will accompany you alone, or I will find another uncle?"
Lan Xiaotian was also forced to move out of Cheng Jie in desperation, Ji Hangcheng's concerns were right, what kind of place is the zoo, a place for parent-child interaction, what is it for her to go with him?
If something happens and Cheng Jie knows, it won't be good.
"No, don't, I just don't, didn't you say to save me? Is this your way, why do you have to push me like this? ”
Mianmian is so "Qiong Yao" completely thanks to the nanny surnamed Chen who took care of her, she has nothing to do all day and takes a child to watch that kind of unnutritious romance drama at home, and children who grow up in this environment are not precocious and have ghosts.
"I don't really have any requirements, I just want to go to the zoo with you, my world is full of unhappiness, and there have been times when I don't want to live. ”
The more Mianmian talked, the more she deviated from the trajectory she should have at her age, Lan Xiaotian knew that it would not be good for anyone to continue to consume like this, if there was any excesses, it was estimated that Lu Jian would directly expel her from the research institute.
That's it, it's out!
Lan Xiaotian agreed without Ji Hangcheng's consent.
"Okay, Mianmian, Aunt Xiaotian promised you and your father to take you to the zoo together, you come over, and we will discuss it together. ”
As soon as Lan Xiaotian's words came out, Ji Hangcheng glanced at her with a frown, and felt the terrifying eyes behind her, she was like a thorn in her back, but there was no way, there was no other way in front of her.
"Well, Mianmian, come to Aunt Xiaotian and tell me which zoo you want to go to the most. ”
Lan Xiaotian's words were like a tranquilizer injected into Mianmian's body, her emotions gradually calmed down, and she reached over and threw her hand into that warm embrace.
"Thank you, Aunt Xiaotian, thank you for being willing to fulfill this little wish of mine. ”
Ji Hangcheng can't stay anymore, he thinks it's all fucking something, if he has any heinous sins, please let the law punish him, don't always let some fools around him make him uncomfortable!
Turning around, Ji Hang left without looking back, he came to the corridor to smoke, and he wanted to kill so many people in an irritated heart!
When he finished smoking his third cigarette, Lan Xiaotian walked out of the ward.
"Mr. Ji. ”
“...”
"I officially inform you not to appear in front of me from tomorrow!"
Ji Hangcheng's tone was so resolute that people couldn't tell whether this was an impulsive speech or not!
