Chapter 52: The Past Is Like a Floating Cloud

Nan Qiao glanced at it, it was a pair of high heels.

"I said no, I can't usually wear it at all, the limited edition is useless to me, you can give it to someone else. ”

"Who am I going to give? Nanqiao, you are really my ancestor, why do you always want to reject me, let me pet you to death?"

"Yes. ”

Nan Qiao gave him a funny look.

“………”

Gu Shunshun let out a long sigh, "Nanqiao, I think I may have been cursed by you, otherwise why would I chase you with such a dead face." ”

Gu Shunshun, who suddenly came down seriously, made Nan Qiao a little uncomfortable, she knew what it was like to be rejected by someone she liked.

"Gu Shunshun. ”

"Huh?"

"What do you like about me?"

Gu Shunshun thought about Nanqiao's question very seriously, but the answer given in the end was indeed a.

"I don't know what I like, but I feel like I like everything, you just stand there and don't have to do anything, I like everything. ”

Nan Qiao nodded, this time she believed what Gu Shunshun said, because it turned out that she liked Han Zhi like this.

"Well, I thank you for liking me, but right now I really have no intention of re-embracing a relationship. ”

Nanqiao's answer, Gu Shunshun already knew, he felt that he didn't mean to put pressure on her, nor did he have to force her to do anything.

Gu Shunshun lowered his voice, and then responded: "Nanqiao, I didn't want you to do anything, you can not accept me, but you can't stop me from liking you, even if we are not together in the future, but at least I have a clear conscience and have worked hard." ”

I really can't be swayed by my heart when I like this kind of thing, it's very erratic, you can like someone in a moment, or you can forget it after a while.

Therefore, Gu Shunshun still said the same thing, live in the moment and have fun in time.

"Okay, let's not talk about that, where have you been tonight?"

Gu Shunshun was interrupted by Nan Qiao just now, he originally wanted to ask her about the hot search on Weibo after giving the gift, but somehow he talked about other aspects.

"Go to a celebration party for Brother Mo. ”

"Then do you know that you are on the hot search because of Han Zhen?"

Gu Shunshun is now very curious, at the banquet, did anything happen to the two of her and Han Zhi at the same table?

Nan Qiao twisted her brows, and said in some surprise: "Hot search? What kind of hot search." ”

Gu Shunshun took out his mobile phone and opened Weibo, now the popularity has receded, but some can still be found.

"Well, see for yourself. ”

Nan Qiao took out her mobile phone and looked at it carefully, only to find that this hot search didn't seem to have anything to do with her, and was more focused on Han Zhi and Bao Yuan.

returned the phone to Gu Shunshun, Nan Qiao didn't care about it.

"It has nothing to do with me, I just accidentally got filmed in it. ”

"Then you ......"

Gu Shunshun wanted to ask them if they had spoken, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was a bit redundant to ask.

Nan Qiao turned her head to look at Gu Shunshun, "Are you idle every day, how is your work?"

Gu Shunshun said that he would not return to Guangde, he has graduated from college now, and he didn't hear him say where to work, Nanqiao knew that Gu Shunshun was not short of money, but even if he was rich, it was impossible to be idle.

Hearing this, Gu Shunshun touched his nose, "Well, I think it's actually quite easy to work, my dad recently wants to expand a branch in Beicheng, so maybe go to him." ”

Nan Qiao didn't know that Gu Shunshun was lying, his old man was not ready to go north to open a company at all, they were urging him to return to Guangde every day, after all, that was the foundation of their Gu family, and sending Gu Shunshun to Beicheng University was to gild, and they didn't expect him to really do anything.

"Oh, come on, then. ”

"Yes. ”

Gu Shunshun nodded, in fact, this matter is quite big, the old man's side is urging tightly, the father and son of the two heads have an opinion because of this matter in three days, and now he has not cut off his food, if this is to lengthen the front, maybe Gu Changan will not indulge him so much.

Thinking of his father, Gu Shunshun fell into deep thought, he was too difficult.

"Gu Shunshun?"

Nan Qiao shouted a few times, but the person next to her didn't respond.

"What's wrong with you?"

It took a long time for Gu Shunshun to come back to his senses, he looked at Nan Qiao, and then suddenly leaned his head on her shoulder.

"Hey, you?"

"Shhhhh ”

Is it really tired, plans are disrupted, all kinds of pressure, can you not be tired?

Gu Shunshun's tired face made Nan Qiao can't bear to push him away, everyone has times when they are tired and need to find comfort.

Under the dim street lamp, the two stayed like this for a long time.

Not far away, a pretty figure turned around slowly and left.

Ma Quan didn't know how she was feeling now, why did she feel stuffy and panicked when she saw Gu Shunshun and Nan Qiao together.

This trip downstairs was originally to pick up Nanqiao, but I didn't want to endure my aunt's pain and go downstairs, but what I saw was such a scene.

Actually, Gu Shunshun is very good, but his mouth is a little cheap, and it can be seen that he should be sincere to Nanqiao.

The horse shook his head and looked up at the sky, took a deep breath, and smiled unnaturally.

Jing County.

This New Year is approaching, and Shen Donghai and Xia Jieying have been discussing the New Year at home recently.

"Donghae, you hand me that rope. ”

Hearing this, Shen Donghai, who was watching TV in the living room, got up to serve his wife.

As soon as he entered the kitchen, he saw that the stove was full of Huaqi cakes, which are the special pastries of Jing County, and they are also a must-have thing on every Chinese New Year's Eve meal in every Chinese New Year's Eve household.

Of course, more importantly, he knew that Shen Dushi loved to eat this very much.

Shen Donghai looked at Xia Jieying's busy figure, and suddenly his eyes were wet, and he often wondered, why Shen Dushi was not his and Xia Jie's child? If so, then how happy his family should be now.

With a long sigh, Shen Donghai stepped forward, held Xia Jieying's shoulders with both hands, and said gratefully: "A-Ying, thank you for your hard work." ”

Xia Jieying didn't look back, and she didn't say anything, she has come down for so many years, this is something she is willing to do, not to mention hard work or not.

Suddenly, Shen Donghai's mobile phone on the table rang, and he left the kitchen to go to the living room.

picked up the phone, clicked on WeChat, there were a few unread messages on it, looking at the person who sent the letter, Shen Donghai was a little confused, how could she find herself?

The message was sent by Sheng Qiannuan, she was Liao Juan's sister's child, at that time, because she and Shen Dushi were studying in the same school, so Shen Donghai added Sheng Qiannuan's WeChat, mainly to understand his son's usual situation at school.

Since the end of the college entrance examination, the two have almost no contact, and their usual correspondence is limited to some unnutritious holiday wishes, and the most talked about recently is the time when Shen Dushi returned to China without authorization.

"Uncle, how are you doing lately?"

"My cousin is very good in Beicheng, he has a girlfriend, do you know?"

"I also saw it by accident, very beautiful, and we are from Jing County, a classmate of my cousin's original Tianzhong, a very good girl. ”

Finally, after posting this information, Sheng Qiannuan also attached a separate photo of Nanqiao, as well as a photo of Ma Breaking and Nanqiao when he was in the twilight of the circle of friends.

Shen Donghai clicked on the photo, his thumb and index finger kept wandering on the screen, and after watching it a few times, he agreed with Sheng Qiannuan's words, this girl named Nanqiao is really beautiful, and he is very compatible with his son in appearance.

Shen Dushi is almost twenty-four years old now, and there is no problem at all in falling in love, although Shen Donghai hopes that his son will become a dragon, but his concept is still traditional and deep-rooted, and he feels that no matter how successful a person is, he will eventually return to the family.

Shen Donghai didn't say anything, he immediately made a phone call with Sheng Qiannuan.

After asking what happened again, his favorability of Nanqiao was much higher, because just now he learned from Sheng Qiannuan's mouth that this girl was really good.

Hanging up the phone, Shen Donghai smiled.

This Shen fell in love at dusk, which can prove that his sexual orientation is normal, and secondly, it also shows that his son is excellent.

"Donghai, what are you laughing at? ”

Xia Jieying walked to the living room with a plate of fruits, and as soon as she came out, she saw Shen Donghai's smiling and happy face.

As soon as Shen Donghai saw Xia Jieying, he greeted excitedly: "A-Ying, come on, I'm talking about my girlfriend at dusk, come and see." ”

"Oh?

It seems that Xia Jieying is also very excited, she has already entered the role of Shen's mother in the twilight after so many years.

"Yes, look. ”

Shen Donghai handed her the phone.

She reached for her apron and wiped it, then took the phone from her husband's hand.

Seeing this, Xia Jieying's eyes could no longer take her eyes off the screen, and it was already five minutes later when she heard Shen Donghai calling her and came back to her senses.

Shen Donghai looked at Xia Jieying with some concern, "A-Ying, what's wrong?"

"Uh, what? It's nothing, I'm not, are you hungry......? That ......"

Xia Jie's English was incoherent, and Shen Donghai couldn't help but be suspicious, "A-Ying, what's wrong with you?

Shen Donghai's first reaction was that Xia Jieying knew Nanqiao, he thought she knew what was wrong with this girl?

"No...... I don't know. ”

Xia Jieying shook her head frequently, she returned the phone to Shen Donghai, and then went straight to the kitchen.

It was already eleven o'clock when she came in and out again.

Shen Donghai had already fallen asleep, Xia Jieying walked to the room, took out the book from his hand, covered the quilt for him, turned off the lamp, and walked out of the room lightly.

For the first time in so many years, Xia Jieying had insomnia, she sat on the sofa tiredly, took Shen Donghai's mobile phone on the coffee table, found the photo of Nanqiao, and looked at it again and again.

Sometimes, God seems to like to take pleasure in teasing people, this absurd thing in the world can happen everywhere, such as now, Xia Jieying's daughter and Shen Donghai's son are in love.

Nanqiao, the person Xia Jieying often thinks about, but doesn't dare to mention it.

Looking at the swaying leaves outside the window, her mind slowly drifted back to more than twenty years ago......

Xia Jieying and Nan Zhiguo were introduced to each other, and they were not very satisfied with each other at first, but in the 80s, love had not yet been pushed to the altar, and everyone felt that they could come together only if the conditions of both parties matched.

So, they got married after almost three months, and after half a year, they had a lovely daughter, Nanqiao.

At that time, Xia Jieying worked in a state-owned enterprise, and the treatment was good in all aspects, but it was a little bad, and she needed to work three shifts, which caused no one to take care of Nanqiao when there were no regular shifts.

At that time, the old lady was busy opening a store to make money, and she was reluctant to take Nan Qiao, especially Xia Jieying on the night shift, she was even more irritable.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law quarreled several times about this, and finally Xia Jieying had to return to the family, which also caused her to completely derail from the outside world, and Nan Zhiguo derailed naturally.

At that time, she heard that her husband was dating several women at the same time, and even more exaggerated was that he had an ambiguous relationship with his ex when he first got married, and it was said that one of his bellies was enlarged.

When Xia Jieying found out about this, it was when she was seven months old in Nanqiao, and others advised her to be patient for the sake of the child, maybe one day Nanzhiguo will come back when she regains her heart.

This forbearance was more than a year, and in the end, Xia Jieying's patience not only did not exchange for Nan Zhiguo's return, but made him even worse.

He took the cheating woman home and blatantly slept in a bed.

Is it tolerable or unbearable, Xia Jieying and Nan Zhiguo began to divorce.

At that time, the people of the Nan family were not human.

The old neighbors of Trillium Lane persuaded the old lady to intervene to stop it.

Who knows......

I don't know that the old lady said, "Whoever is my daughter-in-law is the same." ”

Nan Zhiguo's younger sister Nan Langui was even more excessive, shopping directly with the woman, and called the title of "sister-in-law".

Later, Xia Jieying and Nan Zhiguo embarked on the road of court divorce.

The house is public, and there is no need to fight for it, and the reason why they embarked on this road is because neither of the husband and wife wants the custody of Nanqiao.

Xia Jieying felt that she had sacrificed enough for Nanqiao, and she worked in a state-owned enterprise for the sake of her, and now she herself is a person with no tomorrow, how can she bring Nanqiao with her.

And Nan Zhiguo felt that Nan Qiao was a burden, and if she lived with herself, it would cause him a lot of trouble.

In short, people go to court to fight for custody, and their family is very strange, and they are competing to give up custody.

What happened to this later? Who has custody of Nanqiao?

Of course, it is Nan Zhiguo, for the simple reason that the court believes that he is more capable of raising children than Xia Jieying.

In this way, a marriage is broken and the child becomes a victim.

It snowed a lot on the day Xia Jieying left Trillium Lane, which is rarely encountered in the Jiangnan area.

She thought that God was taking pity on her.

At seven o'clock in the morning, Xia Jieying went out with her suitcase, and she went to see Nanqiao, her hard-working child.

Xia Jieying knew very well in her heart that Nan Qiao would suffer 100% with Nan Zhiguo, but she still left her behind, because she felt that the rest of her life was more important than her children.

didn't delay too long, Xia Jieying left, and when she went out, the bus at the entrance of the alley just came.

After getting on the bus, she hadn't taken a few steps when she heard the driver and the conductor discussing that there was a child chasing the car behind her.

Xia Jieying hurriedly turned around, and sure enough, she saw Nanqiao, who was only wearing a thin autumn coat and pants, chasing the car in the snow with her hair scattered and barefoot.

She couldn't hear what Nan Qiao was shouting, but she could imagine that she was telling her not to leave.

Xia Jieying didn't get out of the car, she sat in the back seat and secretly wiped her tears.

Later, the last time I saw Nanqiao was her falling in the snow, her face was covered with blood marks, and she couldn't stand up to chase after her.

Xia Jieying thought at the time, if Nan Qiao died, it would be fine, Nan Zhiguo's irresponsible livestock might be even more tortured after following him, it would be better to die, and it would be liberated when he died.

Therefore, later, Xia Jieying changed her name and married Shen Donghai in a different guise, she deliberately did not inquire about Nanqiao's news, and never mentioned to anyone that she had such a child.

Extracted from the memories, Xia Jieying's face was full of tears, so the child she had abandoned and expected her to pass away was now alive, and she was so close to herself that she had become her stepson's girlfriend.

Oh, God loves to joke.

Looking back, Nan Qiao definitely can't be with Shen Dushi, not to mention that if she gets married in the future, her mother is not a mother, and her mother-in-law is not a mother-in-law, that is, if the Shen family knew that Nan Qiao was her biological daughter, how would they think about it.

Xia Jieying's mind was in a mess, she wanted to stop it with all her might, but she felt powerless, and she lost sleep for several nights in a row, but she didn't come up with a way.

In the end, I rushed to the doctor and chose an extremely stupid method.

The old man of the Shen family was tortured by a serious illness for more than a year, and finally failed to survive this year's Chinese New Year's Eve, and when there were still twenty days before the New Year, he drove to the west.

Shen Dushi, as the eldest grandson, should come back to mourn.

When Xia Jieying didn't usually have the opportunity to contact Shen Dui, she knew that he was very resistant to her, because he believed in his bones that he had ruined his parents' relationship, and then caused his mother to commit suicide.

Regarding this matter, Xia Jieying felt that she was really innocent, although the time was very consistent, but there was a big misunderstanding in it, and as for the truth, she felt that it was not her turn to tell Shen Dushi.

Speaking of which, blame that damn Nan Zhiguo.

There is a rule in Jing County that the night before the funeral, the eldest grandson and the eldest daughter-in-law must kneel in the mourning hall to cry.

The reason for this is to summon the soul out of the body and go to reincarnation as soon as possible.

Therefore, Xia Jieying had the opportunity to spend time alone with Shen Dushi that night, and he couldn't leave.

In the past few days, Shen Dushi has been very calm, his sadness has not been shown on his face, and it is even difficult to see him cry.

He just stood quietly beside the old man's corpse and didn't say a word.

When Xia Jieying turned her head to look at Shen Dui, she poured a pile of origami gold ingots into the brazier, and then symbolically cried her soul.

At three o'clock in the second half of the night, the people in the mourning hall were almost gone one after another, and Xia Jieying had been watching from the sidelines, looking for the best time.

She felt that it was most appropriate for her to do so, and if this thing was really broken in the future, she would not say that she would die miserably.

Thinking of this, she opened her mouth.

"At dusk, Auntie has something to say to you. ”

“………”

Xia Jieying waited for a long time, but Shen Dusk didn't open her mouth to respond to her.

expected this to be the case, and about five minutes later, Xia Jieying spoke again, and this time she went straight to the point.

"Twilight, I have always regarded you as my own son for so many years, as my own, I know that you hate me and your father because of your mother's affairs, but I still want to defend myself, I swear here today, I absolutely did not harm your mother. ”

Xia Jieying dared to swear in this situation, she was absolutely confident, otherwise if she really did something wrong, how could she dare to swear in front of the dead?

“………”

Shen Dusk got up and re-lit the extinguished candle, and after a while, he slowly spoke: "You don't have to explain to me, if you want to prove your innocence so much, go to my mother." ”

The blazing candle flame kept jumping in front of Xia Jieying.

Her eyes were instantly filled with tears, "Twilight, after so many years, my kindness to you is not worth it?"

Shen Dushi looked back at Xia Jieying, and said indifferently: "I'm not rare, I have a family that loves me, my grandfather, my grandmother, etc., I don't lack love, why should I take your affection?"

Shen Dushi, who has always been gentle and elegant, really hurts people when he talks cruelly.

Xia Jieying felt like her heart was being screwed up, she gave up her daughter and spent all her energy on other people's children, but in the end, she got such a sentence.

"Okay, okay, yes. ”

Xia Jieying nodded with a wry smile, and then continued: "In the twilight, your father is not easy, although we are a halfway husband and wife, we are very affectionate, if you don't want our family to break up, just break up with Nanqiao." ”

When the word "South Buckwheat" was mentioned, Shen Dusk's eyes shimmered.

"How do you know about Nanqiao, and why does this have anything to do with her?"

Shen Dushi looked at Xia Jieying's eyes seriously, he didn't understand why this matter was related to Nanqiao.

Xia Jieying guessed that Shen Dushi should not have understood that his father knew about his relationship with Nan Qiao.

"Twilight, it's like this, a few days ago your cousin sent a few WeChat messages to your father, she said that you were in love with a girl named Nanqiao, and we found out. ”

Shen Dushi pursed her eyebrows slightly, he didn't understand why she did this?

Seeing his confused face, Xia Jieying immediately felt a trace of luck in her heart, could it be a misunderstanding?

She immediately added, "Is this true?"

Of course it's fake, Shen Dushi wanted to deny it, but suddenly remembered Xia Jieying's words just now, she inexplicably let herself break up with Nanqiao, is there any ulterior secret in this?

"Twilight?"

Xia Jieying asked again.

"It's true. ”

Shen Dushi lied because he wanted to know what Xia Jieying would say next.

Unknowingly, Xia Jieying did not disappoint him, after hearing his answer, she panicked, and in this hurry, the brazier at her feet was kicked over.

"No, no, you can't be together. ”

Xia Jieying kept shaking her head, muttering in her mouth.

"Why not? Do you really think you're my mom and can interfere in my business?"

Shen Dusk took a step closer and was aggressive.

"No, in the twilight, you can find whoever you want, but you can't be Nanqiao, because she is my daughter!"

Xia Jieying told the truth in one breath.

"In the twilight, your father is living a very happy life now, if you are with Nanqiao, do you want him to know the truth of this matter, what will he do? How should we get along with the relationship between our family? It doesn't matter if I go, but what about your father?"

Xia Jieying showed Shen Donghai's trump card, she knew that although the relationship between their father and son was usually tense, Shen Dushi still cared about him as a father, otherwise why did he not dare to really turn his face with Shen Donghai after so many good things.

"Your dad is not in good health and can't afford this fright. ”

Xia Jieying took it a step further and threw out the seriousness of the problem.
