In previous years, the Qingming Festival was drizzling, but this year, for some reason, from 4 o'clock in the morning, the sky began to rain heavily.

It was already eleven o'clock in the night when Dong Chenfeng left last night, and at seven o'clock in the morning, he bought breakfast and appeared at the door of Lu Siyu's room on time.

As soon as he got in the car, Lu Siyu turned on the map on his mobile phone, and in the voice prompt, it took about three and a half hours to get from here to the county.

"It's so far, is it because of the traffic jam today?, or does it usually take so long?" Dong Chenfeng turned his head and asked Lu Siyu.

"I usually go by bus, it takes about this long, and if I drive, I don't know very well, so I shouldn't need it. Lu Siyu looked thoughtful after speaking.

Dong Chenfeng asked her curiously what was wrong?

Lu Siyu looked at him and hesitated and said, "Your car looks quite new, it can't be that you bought it yourself, right?"

Dong Chenfeng smiled and said, "Why not? I got my lawyer's certificate in my senior year, and the teacher who took me was very good to me, he often divided some cases for me to do, so it's normal for me to have a little savings." ”

"It's amazing, how can this car be 。。。。。。 Lu Siyu found that in addition to knowing the word "JEEP", he didn't understand what kind of car it was. "Forget it, it's a style I can't afford anyway. Lu Siyu was envious, muttering in his heart: It has only been more than a year since graduation, and the gap is so big.

Dong Chenfeng asked Lu Siyu again, "By the way, I haven't asked my future wife what she does now." ”

"Paralegal" Lu Siyu whispered, Dong Chenfeng almost didn't hear it.

"Why do you do this job? Didn't you study management in college? Why don't you go to a corporate office and choose a law firm?"

Hearing him ask, Lu Siyu suddenly became shy, and there was even a hint of timidity in his tone when he spoke, "Because, because you said at that time that you would be a lawyer after graduation, I wanted to be closer to you, so I secretly took law when I was in college, thinking about whether it was possible to become a colleague or a peer with you in the future." ”

After hearing this, Dong Chenfeng smiled and asked Lu Siyu helplessly, "You can be my wife, but you want to be my peer, this is called wanting to be closer to me? Even if you are a curve to save the country, it is a little too far, right?" Dong Chenfeng couldn't help but shake his head after speaking, "Then you are now working as an assistant as a trainee lawyer, or is it a simple assistant who has not passed the judicial examination?"

Lu Siyu coughed twice subconsciously, and said with some embarrassment: "Just... Simple!" The voice lowered again, wishing that Dong Chenfeng couldn't hear it.

Seeing her reaction, Dong Chenfeng was amused by her again and comforted: "It's okay, this certificate is really not easy to test, and some of my college classmates have not taken the test yet." Well~~~ However, as your future husband, I advise you to give full play to your strengths when looking for a job, the profession of a lawyer requires careful logical thinking skills, and it will be very hard for you to do this, but if you are a peer, I am looking forward to meeting an opponent like you in court. ”

Lu Siyu's face sank, and he turned his head to look at him, "You mean that an opponent like me can let you see the dawn of victory, right?" ”

Dong Chenfeng smiled, "I didn't say that, but you can understand it like this." ”

Lu Siyu glared at him, pretending to be angry and leaning back on the seat, "I won't talk to you anymore." ”

In fact, it's not that she hasn't thought about changing careers, but she has always had an obsession in her heart, thinking that if she becomes a lawyer, does it mean that she still has a little fate with Dong Chenfeng. Girls will always take some strange things as their emotional sustenance, and always hope that there is something in common to connect each other.

It's as if her mother gave birth to her back then and had a lifelong bond with her father, she always wanted to catch something, which was related to Dong Chenfeng, even if she knew that this matter made her feel very difficult.

Dong Chenfeng took out his mobile phone and asked Lu Siyu to send a message to Gu Lan, telling her the news that they had reunited, and inviting her to dinner by the way. Lu Siyu asked him to unlock his fingerprint and then handed it to himself, Dong Chenfeng said, "The number can also be opened, and the password is your birthday." Lu Siyu smiled happily when she took it, Dong Chenfeng looked at her shy appearance when she lowered her head, and deliberately teased her: "What are you laughing at, I just changed it last night." ”

Lu Siyu raised his head and put away the smile on his face, "What was the previous password?" Dong Chenfeng suddenly became happy and said proudly, "It used to be the pig's birthday. ”

Lu Siyu glared at him, slapped him on the arm a few times, and laughed again.

Lu Siyu sent a message to Liao Jie first, and then picked up Dong Chenfeng's mobile phone and saw his chat history with Gu Lan, the latest message said that Gu Lan should not tell his mother about their encounter with Lu Siyu.

Lu Siyu looked at the text on his phone, his mood was instantly low, and looking at the flashing vehicles outside the window, his memory seemed to have entered a time tunnel.

Three years ago, in the summer vacation of her sophomore year, she came back from Lixian with her mother's relics, and as soon as she entered the house, she saw Dong Chenfeng's mother sitting in the living room, and her grandmother was warmly entertaining her. washed the fruits, poured tea, and specially took out the pastries that she usually only kept for herself, which Aunt Su Qin sent from Suicheng.

Han Zhiqiu sat on the sofa and showed a professional smile to his grandmother, although he said not to be busy, no matter how he looked at it, he was condescending. When Lu Siyu watched her grandmother leaning over and handing it to Han Zhiqiu with a cup of tea, that kind of cramped politeness and humble politeness seemed to have a kind of appearance that was three points shorter.

Lu Siyu looked at her grandmother and felt very uncomfortable, such a posture really didn't match her age, grandma is usually a very strong person, to be like this, Lu Siyu knew in his heart that it was all for himself.

Grandma asked Lu Siyu secretly, "Xiaofeng's mother came over today and said that she didn't tell Xiaofeng, so did she tell you?"

Lu Siyu shook her head, grandma sighed, her cloudy eyes were full of helplessness, she should have guessed the purpose of Han Zhiqiu's coming here. After returning to the living room, grandma told Han Zhiqiu that she went out to buy vegetables and asked her to stay and eat, but when she walked to the door, grandma replaced the trolley bag in her hand with a handbag that she usually buys vegetables.

After grandma went out, Lu Siyu moved a stool, sat opposite Han Zhiqiu, picked up the teacup in front of her, looked at Han Zhiqiu and said, "Auntie, if you have anything to do with me today, just say it." ”

Han Zhiqiu's face showed that kind of professional smile again, as if he was waiting for Lu Siyu's words, and after saying a simple hello, he said straight to the point: " I went to your hometown a few days ago, and heard some things about your family, so I came today to ask you for verification, after all, in case it is a misinformation, it is not good for me to take it seriously, I only have such a son, his life's events, I and his father are very important, if my next words have offended you, I will first say sorry to you, please also be considerate of the feelings of a mother. ”

Although she didn't want to hide their plans, this feeling of being questioned by someone was really uncomfortable, Lu Siyu smiled awkwardly, and she had no choice but to say to Han Zhiqiu: "It doesn't matter Auntie, what you heard, what you need to verify here, or if there is anything else you want to know, I can tell you today, I know that you and your uncle are decent people, I can understand." ”

"Then I won't spare the bend. When he said this, Han Zhiqiu picked up the teacup and asked Lu Siyu in a relaxed manner: "Your father's current wife is not your biological mother, right?"

"Yes," Lu Siyu replied succinctly.

"Then did your biological mother and your father divorce at an early age?" Han Zhiqiu continued to ask.

Lu Siyu shook his head, "My father has only been married once, that is, with his current wife, but my mother is not a third party, they are each other's first love." At that time, my grandmother's family was too poor, and my father went to Suicheng in order to change the living conditions of the family, and my mother's family was also very opposed to them being together because my father was too poor at that time. My dad didn't know about my mom's pregnancy, because they were separated by that time, and by the time he knew, he was married to his current wife, so my mom left after giving birth to me, and I lived with my grandma ever since. ”

"And what are your dad and mom doing now?"

"My father is now the leader of a government unit in Suicheng, and my mother 。。。。。。 Lu Siyu hesitated for a moment and calmed down, "My mother opened a small restaurant with her husband. In order to prevent Han Zhiqiu from inadvertently mentioning her mother to her grandmother, she did not tell her the news that her mother had passed away.

"So, what does your stepmother do, and how is your relationship with her?"

"Aunt Su Qin and my father are in the same unit, although she is my father's wife and my grandmother's daughter-in-law, but she is not my stepmother, to me she is Aunt Su Qin. Han Zhiqiu put down the teacup, and his face showed a deep meaning that Lu Siyu couldn't understand.

Actually, Lu Siyu said this not to mean that she couldn't accept Su Qin in her heart, because she didn't want Han Zhiqiu to know that his father had never let Aunt Su Qin know her existence for more than 20 years for his own future, so in Aunt Su Qin's heart, she was just Lu Yiqing's mother, not anyone's stepmother.

Lu Siyu's mother specially instructed her before she died, asking her to learn to protect herself and her father, so no matter how much resentment she has towards her father in her heart, in front of outsiders, she will not say anything that damages Lu Weiting's image.

Just like she didn't tell Han Zhiqiu just now, in fact, his father had thought about divorcing Aunt Su Qin, but his mother learned that Aunt Su Qin's father was the leader of his father's unit, if his father divorced Aunt Su Qin, then his future life in the unit must be difficult, like walking on thin ice, as a foreigner wants to have a place in the city of Suicheng, it is definitely not possible to fight alone, my mother understands my father and knows what it means to get ahead for him. Therefore, Aunt Su Qin is the best choice for Dad, if she comes back to be with her, Dad may always be looked down upon by others. Therefore, in the face of career and love, my mother helped my father make a choice.

After listening to Lu Siyu's answer, Han Zhiqiu expressed her opinion, she said that she hoped that her future in-laws would be right with her own family, and they had no right to interfere with what kind of girlfriend their son had, but when it came to marriage, it couldn't be all up to him.

Han Zhiqiu hopes that Lu Siyu can take the initiative to withdraw, so as not to affect their mother-son relationship at that time.

Lu Siyu told Han Zhiqiu that if she wanted to end their relationship, she hoped that the person who broke up would be Dong Chenfeng instead of herself.

But Han Zhiqiu's next words made her unable to refute, "If I wasn't Dong Chenfeng's mother, I would be very sympathetic to what happened to you." In other words, in your situation, if you let Xiaofeng break up with you, others will definitely say that he is unkind, I don't want my son to bear such a reputation, but if you mention the breakup, it will be different, I know I say this sounds excessive, but I can't help it, you are not a mother yet, so you can't understand that a mother can give her life for her child, let alone other things, so, as long as you break up with Xiaofeng, you can resent me. ”

"A mother can give her life for her children. This sentence was like a sharp sword that cut Lu Siyu's heart to pieces. No one can understand the weight of this sentence better than she did at that time, and no one can understand the heartbroken feeling that she has just lost her mother.

Lu Siyu restrained his sadness and assured Han Zhiqiu, "Don't worry, I will do what you wish." ”

Han Zhiqiu stood up, said thank you to Lu Siyu, and left.

Lu Siyu sat in the car and couldn't help but ask himself, what would have happened if he hadn't promised Han Zhiqiu at the beginning?
