A few days later, I couldn't help but break into Xie Chulei's house to find out, and the boulder hanging in my heart finally landed, I still remember the joyful scene I saw after Aunt Xie's eyebrows danced and opened the door, I knew that everything had rained and the sky was clear, as expected, they were reconciled again, Ye Hui did not violate what he had said, and indeed entered the house to ask Chu Lei for the guilt, and also flattered Aunt Xie in every way as usual, the left mother-in-law shouted, and the right mother shouted, coaxing Chu Lei and Aunt Xie to bloom, and then added three inches of incorruptible tongue, explaining endlessly, which was enough to make the haze of Chu Lei a few days ago disappear。

When she was about to start lunch, the familiar sound of the car stopping came into Siyu's ears from downstairs, she opened the beige floral floor-to-ceiling curtains and looked in the direction of the entrance of the next floor, and saw her stepfather Cheng Duyun open the car door, habitually putting his trouser pocket in his left hand and holding a briefcase in his right hand and approaching slowly. She cleaned up her appearance and clothes at will, and walked down the stairs. When Sister-in-law Qiong saw her husband coming back, she turned her head excitedly and shouted upstairs: "Madam, Mr. is back, Mr. is back." ”

Hearing the news, Zhao Yuhan's heart trembled, his hands trembled and grabbed the clothes on his chest, nervously overwhelmed, hurriedly touched the comb on the dresser, and combed it mechanically along the hair again and again, looking at the haggard and pale self on the mirror, in a trance as if frightened by a ghost, powerlessly caressing his face that was no longer smooth and slightly undulating like sand, her eyes widened in horror, small tears overflowed silently from the corners of her eyes, she opened the powder box in a daze, and frequently sprayed powder on her face, pounced again and again, in order to cover the damage on her face and the destruction of the years。

Walking downstairs with a smile, Yuhan looked at Cheng Duyun and said cautiously, "Duiyun, you're back." ”

Once again, the flattered Cheng Duyun was no longer surprised, the first thing that touched the nerves of the brain was only fright, he had seen Zhao Yuhan's hysteria after all kinds of tenderness, and also experienced her tears after her madness, it was definitely more painful than directly slashing his head and covering his face to give him a scolding, just like gently stroking his cheek and slapping him suddenly, feeding him a mouthful of sugar and mixing a mouthful of dung, a comfortable and safe haven actually hides several extremely sharp knives, which makes people feel palpitations in retrospect, as if they are in dire straits, half of it is a gorgeous and bright paradise, and the other half is a hell of thunder and lightning。

"Hmm," he replied in response, and walked to the dining room and sat down.

Sister-in-law Qiong put the meals on the table in order, and after the process, Twilight Cloud smiled and muttered: "Mrs. has been waiting for you to go home for a long time, and she has been cooking herself every day for the past few days, shouting to make your favorite dishes for fear that you will not have an appetite when you come back, you see that the dishes on the table today are also your favorite dishes." ”

Cheng Duyun subconsciously glanced at the dishes on the table, steamed osmanthus fish, soy sauce chicken, fried leeks with chicken offal, barbecued pork with honey sauce, and scrambled eggs with five willows are indeed his favorite home-cooked dishes, so his heart was soft, his surface was indifferent, and his inner defense was taken off one level, and he said lightly: "You don't need to be so grand when you go back to your own home." ”

"I beg you to forgive me. I knew I was wrong. Zhao Yuhan pulled out a chair and sat next to Cheng Duyun, and shouted again: "Siyu, it's time to eat." ”

Cheng Siyu sat down in a seat separated from Cheng Duyun, picked up the dishes and chopsticks and chewed the vegetables silently.

"I personally cooked these dishes, all of them were freshly imported materials, and the ingredients were bought by someone I bought abroad, and I prepared them every day for a long time, you have to give me some face to taste." Zhao Yuhan smiled, and as he spoke, he put the dishes into Cheng Duyun's bowl.

"Thank you. Cheng Duyun took it at a loss, looked at her and smiled awkwardly. After trying it, I felt that it was really delicious, and the corners of my mouth rose and I said in surprise: "It's delicious, your cooking skills are still very good." ”

"Really? Eat more. Zhao Yuhan's eyes shone with hope, and he said excitedly with his cheeks, blindly putting vegetables into Cheng Duyun's bowl, as if the forty or fifty-year-old man in front of him was just a five or six-year-old child, afraid that he would not eat enough, and he would have to take good care of him as a mother.

"Yuhan, don't be like this, I can come by myself, not to mention that the kitchen is still a place with a miasma, it's not good for your health, just leave these jobs to Sister-in-law Qiong to do, what else can she do if you rob Sister-in-law Qiong?" he quipped, originally to liven up the atmosphere.

Zhao Yuhan lowered her head abruptly and was silent, Cheng Duyun panicked, shook her hand and asked, "What's wrong, did I say the wrong thing again?"

Looking at her parents, Cheng Siyu was displeased, and in fact, she didn't want to see her mother in front of her stepfather, humble and unproductive, but being unacceptable does not mean that she can't understand, she can understand Zhao Yuhan very well, the age of the pink flower and the weak body, the ups and downs of joy and sorrow, who can bear it, who is willing to bear a full burden, so she doesn't blame Cheng Duyun, a man can do his part, it is already benevolent and righteous, and she can't look down on Zhao Yuhan, she is just grasping the only straw that can be attached to her vitality。 Reality forced Cheng Siyu to be calm, putting on a light and breezy appearance, at the moment there was only food in her eyes, and what would happen had nothing to do with her.

"Do you think my cooking tastes bad? Could it be that you're still angry with me?" Zhao Yuhan whispered in disappointment.

"No, that's not what I meant, don't think too much. Cheng Duyun took a breath, exhausted, patted Yuhan's back soothingly, and continued to eat as if nothing had happened.

"Let's eat, don't talk so much, I think Dad is tired from work, eat early and rest early. Cheng Siyu interjected.

"When adults talk, don't interject casually when you children. Zhao Yuhan looked serious and scolded impatiently.

Cheng Siyu stopped talking.

After a while, Zhao Yuhan tentatively said to Cheng Duyun: "Duyun, don't you think that there are too few people living in our villa, the people are thin, and they lack some popularity, especially Yangqi, when I sit alone in the hall at night, I always feel cold and breathless." ”

"I think it's pretty good, don't you still have Sister-in-law Qiong and Siyu with you, and I'm not away from home every day. Cheng Duyun said nonchalantly.

"How many days can you spend at home a month, either overtime or socializing, or on a business trip, Siyu's child is also older, the daughter is involuntary, and the child will naturally have her own world when she is older, can I, as a mother, still tie up my daughter and accompany me every day to talk to my heart? After all, Sister-in-law Qiong is an outsider, how can she be compared with her own people?" Zhao Yuhan began to babble again.

Stopping the chopsticks in his hand and holding his forehead, he turned his head to look at Zhao Yuhan in annoyance and said, "Then what do you want, Yuhan, just say it." ”

"Forget it, I'm not going to say it. She sulked.

"You name it, I don't blame you. Cheng Duyun showed a tired look on his face again.

"I'm thinking, since Jeongwoo died, I haven't been able to let go of the past, and I live in my own memories every day to torture myself, so I will become the current character of hating ghosts, but this is not what I think, I can't control myself, I hate myself so much, so I think, if I have a child, and it's a son, treat him as a gift from God, or even the second generation reincarnated by Jeongwoo after reincarnation, then I will definitely treat him well, love him well, and with him, my life will definitely be happy. What's more, your company also needs an heir, isn't it, Siyu is a girl, not proficient in automobile manufacturing, naturally can't take over, but we have a son is different, you and I are only forty or fifty years old, and we can cultivate him for more than 20 years, and when we are in our seventies, we can rest assured that the company will be handed over to him to take care of, right, this is also to solve your worries. Zhao Yuhan said to him hopefully and pleasantly, his eyes full of anticipation.

Cheng Duyun gasped and smiled helplessly, he looked at Zhao Yuhan and said angrily: "Can the adopted child be the same as my own child, can the adopted child be compared with our Zhengyu? How can he replace our own son? Do you think I can rest easy if I give up the country I have worked so hard to a son who is not related to me by blood?" Yuhan, please read more books when you have time, or ask friends or Mrs. Zhang or Mrs. He to go out to sit and bask in the sun, and also understand the changes and current affairs and development situation of this society, don't always sit at home and think about some scary and ridiculous ideas, I have begun to get old, and I really can't help your mental destruction. I'm full and go out for a walk. As he spoke, he picked up his clothes and walked to the door.

"Twilight, aren't you resting?" Zhao Yuhan stood up and asked timidly like a wronged daughter-in-law.

"No, I can't sleep right now. Cheng Duyun responded depressedly.

"I know, it's my fault again, I really don't know what my thoughts are going to bother you, I'm just trying to make up for my mistakes and try to save my relationship with you. Zhao Yuhan explained blankly.

"I'm not angry, you go back and rest. Cheng Duyun said.

"Are you going to come back again?" Zhao Yuhan said with tears in his eyes.

"Alas!" Hearing this, Cheng Duyun felt extremely annoyed again, and waved his sleeves and left without looking back.

Seeing Cheng Duyun's departure, Zhao Yuhan couldn't control his face and sobbed, and a "woo" cry pierced Cheng Siyu's heart, who was sitting opposite. She stood up and walked in the direction of Zhao Yuhan, wanting to go over and hold her mother's shoulder to comfort, but she couldn't stretch out her hand, since she lost Zhengyu's 100-day photo last time, a heavy fence was blocked between her mother and herself, although her mother has been showing favor to herself since then, trying to repair the relationship between mother and daughter, but some words, you can't take them back when you say it, some behaviors, if you do more, you will accumulate a lot, despair is accumulated bit by bit of disappointment, Cheng Siyu no longer has the luxury of being able to let Zhao Yuhan love herself, nor is she willing to keep expectations for luck, lest the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment, and the more painful the fall will be。

Zhao Yuhan suddenly raised his tearful face, looked at Siyu pitifully, his eyes were full of expectation and loneliness, Siyu didn't dare to look back at her eyes with a difficult face, picked up a pack of tissues on the table and put it in front of Zhao Yuhan, and hurriedly ran out of the door.

Suddenly, Zhao Yuhan's eyes that have not aged with the passage of time have lost their luster, eclipsed, she clenched her fists and trembled all over, a mouthful of sullen breath against her throat like a fire ignited a raging flame but she couldn't cough it out no matter how hard she tried, she felt a spasm all over her body, her heart twitched strongly due to sadness and grief, she shouted: "Ah" swept the dishes and chopsticks on the table, exhausted, and finally couldn't control her crying.

Sister-in-law Qiong hurriedly ran to hold Zhao Yuhan's hand and asked what was wrong, she didn't want to say anything, just said back and forth, sobbing, and shouting: "Why do you all treat me like this? Why don't you want to forgive me, why don't you understand me? Is it because I want to do this? Don't you understand? Who can understand the pain in my heart!!"

Cheng Siyu walked out of the house and saw Cheng Duyun sitting in the car open the window, his fingers between the cigarettes and the clouds and spitting out the fog, his face was sad and buttonholed, so haggard. She walked to Cheng Duyun's car window, and he squinted at him and said weakly, "What's the matter, kid?"

"Dad, can we go out and sit down and talk?" Cheng Siyu said.

Cheng Duyun looked at Cheng Siyu suspiciously, thoughtfully, and after a minute, replied to her, "Okay." ”

Cheng Siyu got into the car, and the car went away.
