Chapter 082: Father and Son Talk
Thunder pushed the door in, Lei Ling got up to say hello, and waited for him to sit down before pushing the brewed tea over.
Fang Bo put the medicine that Thunder was going to take in a conspicuous place and retreated, leaving space for the father and son.
Lei Ting took a sip of tea and raised his eyebrows: "Good tea." ”
Lei Ling nodded: "This is what Luo Ange brought back from Yunnan, I have already packed two copies, you can bring them back later, and let Uncle Fang soak them for you." ”
Thunder was noncommittal, took another sip, and asked, "Were you scolded by your grandmother and your grandmother?"
Lei Ling was stunned for a moment: "You know this, it was the woman surnamed Lin who told you?"
Lei Ting frowned, dissatisfied with his attitude towards Lin Qi: "When she was hospitalized, she brought you soup, didn't you scream very cheerfully from Aunt Lin? Why, now you have changed your face?"
Such an obvious maintenance, a fool can't hear it, Lei Ling snorted lightly: "Aunt Lin, can I call, provided that she doesn't go to my daughter-in-law to sow discord." ”
Lei Ting put down the teacup heavily: "If your husband and wife are stronger than Jin, how can others sow discord? It's not that I said you, it's obvious that you can't carry it yourself, how can you rely on others?"
Lei Ling raised his eyebrows and nodded, he didn't feel sad in his heart, anyway, after so many years, everyone on the earth knew that Lei Ting defended that woman.
Today's appointment for dinner is not to discuss the woman surnamed Lin, but for more important things.
"Okay, okay, you're right, okay, we haven't eaten alone in years, and I don't want to quarrel with you. ”
It's been years since I've eaten alone, and every month there are more than ten or twenty people at the family dinner, and I don't even sit together. When we eat together, there are other people. It's really rare for a father and son to sit alone and drink tea and eat like this.
The last dish was served, Lei Ling got up, first filled Lei Ting with a bowl of soup, and handed it over: "This is the lotus root in the pond of Aunt Guan's house, the freshest, you can taste it." ”
Thunder picked up the spoon and took two sips, which tasted good.
"It tastes good, right? Come, try this again, it's all fresh vegetables grown in the backyard here, and this black-bone chicken is also raised in the backyard. ”
Soon the plate was full of food, and looking at his diligent son, Thunder felt very uncomfortable at that moment.
When he was a child, among the three children, Lei Qiongying and Lei Qinghe were more afraid of him, but preferred to be with their mothers. It's Lei Ling, who sticks to his father every day, sits on his father's lap every day to listen to stories, sits next to his father when he eats, sends his father to school, follows his father when he goes out to socialize, follows his father when he goes to work, and asks his father to accompany him when he goes to the hospital when he is sick......
At that time, Thunder spoiled his son so badly that even Rui Xueji would be jealous.
When did the relationship between father and son suddenly come to an impasse? It seems to have started with the couple's resolute divorce...... Or from earlier, since Lin Qi took Lei Jiayan into the house and made the Lei family chickens and dogs jump, Lei Ling no longer stuck to his father for everything, and even Rui Xueji moved back to her parents' house, and the three children also followed back to Rui's house.
Later, they officially divorced, Rui Xueji took Lei Qiongying and Lei Qinghe abroad, Lei Ling knew that he was left to live with his father, ran away from home, didn't know where to hide, and came back half a month later.
After coming back, he fell seriously ill, had a high fever for a week, and didn't talk much after he got well, and then simply moved to the courtyard to live with his grandparents, and never returned to the Lei family's old house.
Once, Thunder really missed his son and ran to school...... Lei Ling walked past him and didn't give him a look.
The teacher grabbed him and pointed at Thunder: "Your dad has come to see you." ”
He looked at Thunder with straight eyes and hooked his lips evilly: "I'm sorry, I don't have a father." ”
At that moment, Thunder forgot about the embarrassment, and only had heartache.
Later, the old lady insisted on sending Lei Ling abroad, originally planning to come back to work in Lei's family after finishing college. But Lei Ling didn't come back until he was 26 years old, and he didn't join Lei when he came back, but founded the Universal Group by himself. A reporter asked why he didn't go back to the Lei family to inherit the family business, and he asked indifferently: "Does the Lei family have anything to do with me?"
It was the coldest year for the relationship between father and son, and the coldest time was during the Spring Festival that year, Lin Qi prepared a month in advance, gathered everyone in the old house, and celebrated the Spring Festival lively. Even the old lady gave three points of thin noodles to attend, but Lei Ling was absent, the phone was turned off, and there was no one at home.
Later, everyone learned that he went to Sakura Country alone and stayed in the hotel for a week.
"Dad, Dad......" Lei Ling waved his hand again, "Dad, Dad......"
Thunder woke up from the memory, his eyes were a little moist, and he didn't want to be discovered by his son, so he turned his face away.
Lei Ling smiled and leaned over: "Are you crying?"
Thunder didn't admit it: "How can I be, I stayed up late late, and my eyes hurt." ”
Lei Ling pouted: "I know, you must be remembering the days when our family of five was together again." Actually, I miss it a lot, I can't remember how long it has been since I ate my mother's cooking. Dad, do you remember, we used to love to eat my mother's boiled pork slices......"
Lei Ting smiled and said softly: "There are still three fresh, there are beer fish, and ......"
Lei Ling smiled like a child: "I still remember, when you went out to socialize and came back drunk, your mother would always squeeze the juice of bitter gourd and honey for you, and get up in the middle of the night to make porridge for you." My grandparents always said that my mother could become the top doctor, but she was willing to wash her hands and make soup for her beloved man and become a housewife. ”
Thunder picked up the teacup to hide his embarrassment, he comforted himself that he was smoked by the tea, not ashamed of himself in the memories of the past.
"It's me...... I'm sorry mom, I'm sorry for you. ”
Lei Ling leaned over and poured him tea: "Dad, have you ever regretted it after so many years?"
Lei Ting rubbed his eyes and smiled bitterly: "In this world, money can buy anything, and the only thing that can't buy regret medicine is it." ”
Lei Ling shrugged: "That's right, with your heart and the ability of the woman surnamed Lin, even if you are given another chance to choose, you will divorce your mother." This home is destined to be scattered. ”
Thunder sighed: "In this life, I'm sorry for many people...... When I was young, I neglected your mother and you for work; later, for the sake of your Aunt Lin and Jiayan, I had many disputes with your grandparents and your second and third uncles, and your grandfather was so angry that he fell ill and went to the hospital for rescue several times...... Now that he is older, he feels sorry for himself, and there are many things he wants to do, but he has no chance to do them, or he dare not do them"
Lei Ling looked at him: "You haven't been sorry for others?"
Thunder set his sights on his son, who was thirty years old, and in any field, he was the dragon and phoenix among people. As a father, he should be proud, but at this moment he only feels sad.
The palms and arms are all meat, one side is the son, the other side is also the son, he, as a father, does not know how to choose.
He knew why Lei Ling asked this, and Uncle Fang was really right, the old lady should have told Lei Ling what happened more than 20 years ago.
"Why do you ask?"
Lei Ling didn't avoid his gaze, but the smile on the corner of his mouth slowly narrowed: "Because you mentioned that you are sorry for many people...... In fact, I often feel sorry for many people, sorry for my grandfather, I can't come back to see him for the last time, I'm sorry for my grandparents, I don't spend too much time with them, I'm sorry for my grandma, I often contradict her, I'm sorry Lingling, and that ...... I didn't protect the unborn children, I'm sorry ......."
I didn't know what to think, he suddenly laughed: "I'm sorry Xiao Beiyuan, she is the most innocent, I was forced into this conspiracy by me, and I left her in the hospital." She was angry, and I didn't dare to say anything to her, wasn't it a wretch. In fact, you don't know, your daughter-in-law had better coax her, and she can be happy for a dollar lollipop for a long time. She didn't want to force me to break off with the Bai family, she just wanted to ...... Between her and the Kashiwa family, I don't want to sacrifice her every time. Dad, do you know, Xiaobei is really very sensible and well-behaved, the woman surnamed Lin went to her and persuaded her to divorce me, do you know what she said? That fool, she said that she seduced me. She also said that what I owe to Lingling is all on her head, and she will pay it back. She also said that in the future, she ......"
Lei Ling raised his head and suppressed the soreness in his eyes: "Do you know, in the twenty years since you divorced your mother, I feel like I am the one who has been abandoned every year, every month, every hour, every minute. When I was abroad, I had a nightmare in the middle of the night, and I dreamed that my mother was taking my brother and sister away, and you took the woman surnamed Lin and Jiayan away, and my grandparents left, leaving me in the sea. The storm is coming, and you don't feel sorry for me. It's been thirty years, and she was the first person to say that she would feel sorry for me in the future. ”
"Actually, I also think it's incredible, it stands to reason that my favorite and most sorry should be Lingling, when she risked her life to save me, conceived my child, and finally ended up in such a tragic end...... Even if I die a hundred times, I can't make up for her. It is rumored that after Lingling's accident, I couldn't live alone, and I committed suicide several times. Actually, I don't have as much love as they say, I just have severe insomnia and take too many sleeping pills. Even when the doctor told me that Lingling was in a vegetative state and the child was not saved, I never thought of killing myself, or killing someone. But do you know, in the Japanese restaurant, when I saw Xiao Beiyuan being pressed against the wall by several girls and pushing her down, I really thought about killing someone. ”
Thunder's mouth opened and closed......
Lei Ling seemed to be determined to spit out all these things hidden in the depths of his heart, and the wine and tea were prepared in the private room, which Luo Ange brought back from Yunnan. Lei Ling knew that Lei Ting's blood pressure had been high in the past few months, so although he prepared wine, he didn't pour it, at this moment, he poured himself a glass, drank it all, and continued: "Dad, do you remember, when Lingling was pregnant, you were all happy, open champagne to celebrate. Actually, I'm quite scared, probably because of you and my mother, I don't like children. If mom and dad can't grow old together, it will be a harm to the child. The current love is too short and unreliable, and any slightest wind and grass will disintegrate. So I never thought of putting having a child in my life plan, even if it was with Bai Yuling. But do you remember the day you came to the hospital and you said that we gave our children a name. At that moment, my heart suddenly became super soft, and I was thinking, ah, two kids who follow my ass every day and call me daddy, just like I did when I followed your ass, that's good. The premise is that Xiao Beiyuan must be the child's mother. If it weren't for her, I would never have had children in my life. ”
"I've been with Bai Yuling for so many years, and I've never had such a thought. Yesterday, Xiao Beiyuan asked me, if Bai Yuling woke up one day and asked me to make a choice between them, who would I choose? I didn't know what was wrong at the time, so I didn't answer. Xiao Beiyuan thought that I would choose Bai Yuling, but she was very angry and disappointed...... Actually, I really wanted to go to Yanjing to find her and accompany her to the seminar. Or don't go anywhere, just nest in a hotel room. But I didn't have the courage to go, I was going to take her to Mid-Levels Villa for the weekend today, and her birthday was approaching, so I prepared a surprise for her. But now, she won't forgive me. Dad, she won't forgive me. ”
During the whole process, Thunder didn't say a word except shock, shock, shock, and shock. He was the one who watched Lei Ling and Bai Yuling come all the way, and in the process of Lei Ling's narration, he said "Lingling" at first, and slowly called him by his name. The tone was gentle at first, but slowly became cold. Just the change of title shows the weight of one person in the heart of another.
And when addressing another woman, he mostly calls her by her first name, but throughout, his tone is full of enthusiasm, distress, and regret.
"Brother Ling, you ......"
Lei Ting didn't expect his son's feelings for Xiao Beiyuan to be so deep, and while he was happy, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
Speaking of which, among the people who are sorry for Xiao Beikite, he also accounts for one of them.
If he hadn't been obsessed, he wouldn't have caused a little girl who was waiting to be fed to lose her parents, and the old man with gray temples would have lost his son and daughter-in-law.
Hurt the night family......
Lei Ling poured himself another glass and drank it, his shoulders drooped, how could he still have the noble and elegant appearance on weekdays, but he looked like a child who made a mistake and was not forgiven by his mother.
"Dad, you have been divorced from my mother for twenty years, and I have never asked you why. Even if you spoil the woman surnamed Lin to the point of lawlessness, I have never said a word about you. But now you tell me the truth, what happened at the beginning ......" Lei Ling poured himself another glass and drank it, staggered to reach over, and leaned in front of Lei Ting, "You tell me the truth, what happened at the beginning, did you not save Xiao Beiyuan's parents when you saw death, so that Xiao Beiyuan's parents died tragically?" If you tell me that it is, then you know Xiao Beiyuan's temper, she will never be with me again, and I don't have the face to be with her. Dad, please, tell me, isn't it?"
