Chapter Seventy-Seven: A Different Kind of Lady
I smiled awkwardly and sat down.
Xie Fangzhi beckoned the waiter to serve me a cup of good tea, and after the waiter retreated, the atmosphere became a little awkward, and we were both silent, and I secretly looked at Xie Fangzhi during this interval.
I found that she looked quite young, according to Yaze's age, Xie Fangzhi was at least in her fifties, but at this time, the woman sitting in front of me looked like she was in her early forties at most, she was quite well maintained, her figure was not fat or thin, her skin was fair and delicate and shiny, the makeup on her face was not thick or light, and the clothes on her body were even more graceful and luxurious.
When I looked at Xie Fangzhi, she was also looking at me silently, her eyes looking very meaningful.
I don't know the exact purpose of Xie Fangzhi coming to me today, and I don't want to start a conversation rashly, but I know that she came to me because she had something to do with Zhou Yaze.
Sure enough, after an awkward moment of silence, Xie Fangzhi coughed lightly, and then said to me straight to the point: "Ms. Wei, I know that you are a cheerful person, so I won't beat around the bush, and directly say that the purpose of my coming to you today is for my son Yaze, or more precisely, for the relationship between you," and then she looked at me and asked softly, "Are you in love now?"
Let her ask, I am a little ashamed, falling in love, this seems to be the patent of young men and women, I am a mature woman who has gone through a marriage, and I am still asked like this, and I feel very strange in my heart.
But I still blushed slightly, and replied to her softly, "Auntie, that's the case." ”
Hearing me call her like this, Xie Fangzhi was slightly stunned, and then a smile bloomed on the corner of his mouth.
She bowed her head and sipped tea, but I think she was probably thinking about how to move on to the next topic.
Sure enough, when she put down the teacup, she began to go straight in.
Xie Fangzhi said to me directly: "Ms. Wei, I was born Yaze at the age of twenty-one, and I am exactly fifty-two years old this year, if you don't mind, you can still call me Sister Xie or Mrs. Zhou, so that it seems closer." ”
After speaking, Xie Fangzhi looked at me with that extremely confident demeanor.
My face is a little feverish, I don't know the purpose of Xie Fangzhi's words, it is true that women are afraid of being said to be old, like Xie Fangzhi, an elegant and decent Mrs. Kuo, if you don't say her real age, no one will believe that she is in her fifties, and my appearance is basically the same as my actual age, although some people say that I am a few years younger than my actual age, but I look like I am in my thirties, and I am also calm about this.
Therefore, if you look at it from the perspective of appearance, I am in my thirties, and it is correct to call Mrs. Zhou, who looks like she is in her early forties, as the eldest sister, but it is obvious that this is not Xie Fangzhi's real purpose, her real purpose is to insinuate me, since she doesn't like me to call her aunt, that is, she does not recognize my relationship with Zhou Yaze sideways.
I'm not stupid, how could I not understand this?
I smiled awkwardly, and then said to Xie Fangzhi decently, "Okay, in that case, I'll call you Mrs. Zhou, right?"
Xie Fangzhi smiled and nodded at me, and took another sip of tea.
Then he put down the teacup and put away the smile on his face, and said to me slowly: "Ms. Wei, I don't hide the main purpose of my visit this time, that is, I don't agree with your relationship with my son. ”
When Xie Fangzhi said this, her demeanor was very calm, so calm that people mistakenly thought that she was talking about a very normal thing.
My expression was slightly stunned, and then I asked Xie Fangzhi softly: "Oh, then what about the reason for your objection?"
Xie Fangzhi looked at me and smiled faintly, and said to me thoughtfully, "Reason one, your age is not appropriate. For the dual identity of Yaze's wife and daughter-in-law of the Zhou family, you are too old. Second, your past history is too rich, you have a marriage, and you have a child with your ex-husband, these complex backgrounds are not suitable for being the daughter-in-law of my Zhou family. ”
Xie Fangzhi said this with a very comfortable demeanor, as if the reasons she said were beyond doubt.
I listened to her words quietly, sat there for a moment without squeaking, and then, I smiled lightly, then looked at Xie Fangzhi, and asked her: "Then what if I and your son Zhou Yaze really love each other? I love him, he loves me, can you bear to break up a loving couple?"
Hearing my words, Xie Fangzhi was stunned for a moment, and then she laughed, her smile was very gentle and subtle.
Next, she began to refute me softly, she whispered to me: "Ms. Wei, first of all, I don't think your love will be deep, you are already a woman who has experienced a marriage, and your marriage with your ex-husband has lasted for more than ten years, right?"
I looked at her expression, and I felt very uncomfortable.
Yes, I have indeed experienced a long marriage, and I am indeed not young anymore, but can it be said that I do not have the right to pursue love again? In fact, the heart-pounding feeling that Zhou Yaze brought me is a feeling that no man has ever given me in this life, and from the day I felt for him, I felt that I had a girlish and tender heart again.
Although I know that saying this will make many people laugh, but this is my true state of mind when facing Zhou Yaze, but why, in the eyes of many people, women in their thirties should not have this kind of tenderness and longing? Including Xie Fangzhi, who was sitting in front of me, she also held this view.
I sat silently, thought for a long time, and then said to Xie Fangzhi: "Mrs. Zhou, I have indeed experienced a marriage that has lasted for more than ten years, because of the betrayal of my ex-husband, I am indeed heartbroken about love," Speaking of this, I accentuated my tone, "This does not affect my desire for love again, I want to say that the feeling of love that Zhou Yaze brought me is something that I have never experienced in any marriage and love object that I have experienced in the past, and I am serious about him." ”
Hearing my words, Xie Fangzhi smiled faintly again, and there was still a hint of mockery on the corner of his mouth.
Her smile made me feel very uncomfortable, but the next words she said pierced my heart more directly than this smile.
Next, Xie Fangzhi looked at me and said to me seriously: "Ms. Wei, I also came from your age, how can I not understand your psychology? I have already experienced a failed marriage, so I am unwilling, I feel that my life has been wasted on an unworthy man, so I want to find a better person than him to repay it in the second half of my life, do you feel this way?"
I admit what Xie Fangzhi said, I did think about it for a period of time, even after I just divorced, because Xu Minghui said that it was impossible for me to find someone better than him after the divorce, my sister Haijing also comforted me in order to cheer me up: "With my sister's conditions, I will definitely be able to find a ...... ten times stronger than him Xu Minghui."
However, now that I have found it, I have encountered such great resistance.
I looked at Xie Fangzhi, smiled bitterly, and muttered back: "This idea did occur after my divorce, but to be honest, the reason why I chose to be with Yaze was also carefully considered, so it has nothing to do with gambling and winning." ”
Xie Fangzhi nodded, smiled faintly, and said to me slowly: "I know that there must be a certain emotional component between you, but given that you both have complex love histories, this emotional component will not be too simple. You said that you and Yaze really love each other, and you were with him after careful consideration, but do you think Yaze chose you carefully?"
I looked at Xie Fangzhi and didn't understand the meaning of her words.
She smiled bitterly and continued: "To tell the truth, Ya Ze suddenly chose to have a silent relationship with you after breaking up with Wu Yanran, which surprised me at the time, but I thought carefully in private that he was doing something that would be counterproductive. ”
Then, Xie Fangzhi also explained to me very seriously: "You may also understand Wu Yanran's willfulness," as he spoke, Xie Fangzhi sighed lightly and continued, "But there is no way, the relationship between our two families is too long, so long that it can't be separated at once." What's more, no matter in terms of age, appearance, knowledge, and family background, Yanran is a good match with Yaze, and she loves Yaze so deeply, so when her parents came to propose, Yaze's father and I really couldn't erase this face, so we agreed. I know that Ya Ze is in the process of falling in love with Yan Ran, and he is very aggrieved, after all, Yan Ran is also something I grew up watching, how the Wu family spoils this only daughter, and how her character is rude, I know it in my heart. But I thought at the time that anyway, in a family like ours, we don't need our daughter-in-law to do anything after we get married, as long as they are a young couple, and they can get by on the surface, but I didn't expect that in the end, Yaze still couldn't stand Yanran's willfulness and categorically proposed to break up with her. I think it is precisely because Ya Ze has a shadow of his feelings in Wu Yanran that he will resolutely choose a mature woman like you as his girlfriend, but I think your relationship is okay as a transition in his life, but as a lifelong love relationship that helps each other to grow old......"
Saying that, Xie Fangzhi smiled self-deprecatingly, and then said in a low voice: "Don't be afraid to say a word of disobedience, if you really get married, I don't think this marriage will last until you are old." ”
Xie Fangzhi's words can be said to make my heart feel cold, she objected to it so thoroughly, and directly asserted that if I were with Zhou Yaze, I would not grow old.
