Chen Yidong drove all the way back to Chen's house, and when he arrived at the door of the house, he saw that Chen Yuan's car was also parked at the door of the house.

As soon as he entered the house, he noticed that the atmosphere was different, Chen Yuan sat at the marble table in the dining room and lowered his head to eat noodles. Chen's mother stood by the side, her arms folded on the table, and looked at her lovingly. Hearing the sound of him entering the door, Chen's mother glanced at this end, her gaze stayed on him for a second, and then withdrew it calmly.

Father Chen was sitting on the sofa reading the newspaper, and when he saw him, he smiled: "Yi Dong is back, I thought you forgot that today is your sister's birthday......

Chen Yidong called his father, and when he lowered his head to change his shoes, he searched for a while, and then remembered that today was Chen Yuan's birthday.

Mother Chen sat there and laughed coldly, "He only has that woman in his heart now, where can he still remember his sister's birthday, and when he comes back today, I'm afraid that he will come to Xingshi to ask for guilt." ”

"It's good that the child comes back, and you're talking nonsense there. Father Chen glanced at Chen's mother with some displeasure, closed the newspaper in his hand, and instructed his aunt to cook a bowl of noodles for Chen Yidong.

Chen Yidong changed her shoes and walked to the restaurant, sat down opposite Chen Yuan, she looked at him from the corner of her eyes when she lowered her head to drink the soup, and her eyes were still plain. After so many years, her character Chen Yidong couldn't be clearer. They are all exactly the same, no matter what kind of thoughts they have in their hearts, there is no trace of waves on the surface.

The aunt brought the noodles up, and Chen Yidong lowered his head and fiddled with the bowl of noodles, but he didn't move his chopsticks.

Mother Chen looked at his appearance, and couldn't help but feel angry in her heart, she just wanted to open her mouth to say something, but was pressed by Chen Yuan with her hand, she raised her head and said to Chen Yidong: "Let's go upstairs, I have something to say to you." ”

With that, she got up, pushed away her chair, and walked upstairs.

After Chen Yidong was silent for a few seconds, he also stood up and followed.

Pushing open the room where Chen Yuan lived before she got married, she was standing in front of the dresser, and when she heard the voice, she turned her head to look at him, and said lightly: "You must not have come back today because you remember that it was my birthday, right?"

Chen Yidong leaned on the edge of the door, and did not deny it, but said in a cold voice: "Do you know all the things that your mother did?"

"What if you know, what if you don't know?" Chen Yuan brushed the broken hair on his forehead in the mirror, and actually laughed slowly, "Seeing that your sweetheart has been wronged, you are in such a hurry to come back to get justice for her?"

In fact, Chen Yuan has always been polite and self-denying, rarely so mean, and has always been gentle and humble to his younger brother since he was a child, but this time he has such an attitude towards Qing Huan, and it feels like a different person.

Chen Yidong stood in place for a few seconds before he said slowly, "Don't go too far." ”

Chen Yuan looked at her for a moment, turned around and walked to the dresser, where there were still some of her usual skin care products, she pointed her fingers bottle by bottle, and then paused on one of the bottles, and said: "Excessive? Chen Yidong, don't you think that your behavior of abandoning the family is really excessive? Of course, if you are just playing, it doesn't matter; if you are serious, I advise you to stop." ”

Chen Yidong glanced at her, then suddenly sneered and asked, "So you are now managing me as a parent?"

"Otherwise?" Chen Yuan turned his head to look at him, his tone was very calm, "You can play as much as you like before getting married, we don't care who it is, even if you want to continue after getting married, we can turn a blind eye, but you just can't marry her, the son of the Chen family, the marriage partner must be the right person." ”

Chen Yidong suddenly felt ridiculous, the corners of his lips hooked up a self-deprecating smile, and then lowered his head to tidy up his cuffs. He has always been meticulous in his clothes, and he has not let go of any details-shirt cuffs, thin shirt cuffs, layer by layer, before he looked up at her, "So, do you want my marriage to be the same as you? What happened to you you also wanted to happen to Tranquility? This is what you call a way to repay the Ning family?"

Chen Yuan turned his head to look at him suddenly, his body trembled slightly, and he lowered his voice, "Chen Yidong, do you know what you're talking about? Don't go too far." ”

"Am I excessive?" Chen Yidong curled the corners of his lips and said lightly, "Just like this, you can't stand it? Don't do to others what you don't want to do to yourself, don't you know what kind of life you live? Don't you treat Tranquility as your own sister? You really don't feel guilty at all when you say such things?"

Chen Yuan's jaw tightened, as if he had been poked with the most embarrassing scar. If she could, who wouldn't want to be brave enough to pursue the person she really liked, and who wouldn't want to live according to her own wishes, but she wasn't a little girl who didn't know the world and lived in a dream, nor was she a little girl who pursued platonic spiritual love. She is also hypocritical, she is also sophisticated, she can calculate, she will compare. If she wants to abandon everything she has, power position, money and wealth, and parental affection, just for the so-called love, then what will she have left after the passion retreats?

Over the years, there are no examples around me who have the courage to give up everything to chase love, but how many people are left who have really stood the test of time?

So she chose to obey the arrangement of her family and chose the person she should choose, instead of impulsively leaving with that person, and she has always believed that the choice at that time was not wrong, in the final analysis, the family is the foundation of her survival, without the family, she Chen Yuan will be nothing.

So Chen Yuan smiled faintly as if he hadn't heard this, and just said calmly: "You can stick to your own ideas, and you can continue to ignore the people in your family, as for what we want to do and who we want to do, you can't control either." ”

"I won't allow the same thing to happen to her a second time, and if you want to continue, don't blame me for turning my face. Chen Yidong took a deep breath, "If you still think about the friendship between sisters and brothers, don't force me." ”

After saying that, he quickly turned around and looked out the window at the huge lawn downstairs, the leaves on the ginkgo tree had fallen halfway to the ground and spread on the grass, as if it had stepped from the hot summer to the autumn overnight, and the world suddenly became very lonely, and there was no need to say anything more.

Chen Yuan stood where he was, heard his footsteps and quickly went downstairs and out of the yard, heard his car start, and quickly left. She looked out the window, a gust of wind blew, a few leaves fell from the trees, and she felt that her heart was like those leaves, swaying down the tall trees in the autumn wind, tired like never before.

When Chen Yidong went downstairs, he only said hello to Chen's father and left, and did not call Chen's mother, so angry that she picked up the remote control on the table and threw it on the ground to vent her anger.

Father Chen glanced at her and sighed, "The child is older, let him do whatever he wants, I don't know what the use of you doing so much, and in turn you are so stiff with your son......"

"Your son is more stubborn than yours, I think he is a ghost, continue to let him not know what to poke out of the basket, the last charity party, the quiet mother was stunned and didn't say a word to me, causing those nosy people to talk behind my back, my backbone is about to be punctured. ”

Father Chen smiled, "What's so angry about this, the mouth grows on other people, they can say whatever they like, you can still control it?"

Mother Chen was very angry, "Do you think I really care what those people say? Am I not afraid that offending the Ning family will have an impact on you? If it weren't for the Ning family that year, would we be able to get out so safely? And this time, do you still want to go up?"

Father Chen sighed, "It is true that the Ning family helped me a lot at the beginning, but Yi Dong really doesn't like the girl of the Ning family, we can't force him too much, if the Ning family needs it, we can compensate them elsewhere, the happiness of the child's life, we still have to be cautious, don't be too disregarding his wishes, the twisted melon is not sweet." As for the things I want to do, I basically don't think about it anymore, and sometimes it's not necessarily a bad thing to retreat bravely......"

"Torrent retreat bravely, sometimes you want to retreat, but others may not let you retreat," Chen's mother sneered, "I didn't do this to prevent it from happening, a quiet and sensible child, not to mention beautiful, and a good tutor, all these years have always respected us, never won Qiao, is it a pity that such a good child missed? Not to mention the Ning family's insurance, we won't be so passive in the future, right?"

"Speaking of which, you are just dissatisfied that Yi Dong did not marry Ning Ning as you thought. That kid is good," he folded up the newspaper as if to say casually, "but it's not necessarily a good thing, and when the kid is older, he knows the choice." ”

"You're used to him...... Mother Chen was so angry that she didn't want to talk to him anymore, so she turned away with a cold face, "No, I can't watch him be so obsessed and continue to be with a woman with that kind of background, this kind of woman, once provoked, it will be endless." If we don't get it right, we won't be able to get rid of it, and if there is any joke, you will make us embarrassed in the whole compound?"

Father Chen sighed and looked up at his wife, the contours of her face were still very beautiful, and there were almost no traces left on her face over the years, but now it is difficult to find a trace of the shadow of the past in her, as if she was born so noble and elegant, he couldn't help but slow down his voice and asked, "Do you remember how we met in the first place?"

Mother Chen was stunned for a moment, then stood up and looked at him coldly, "What do you mean?"

Father Chen stared at her, and suddenly felt an indescribable astringency in his heart.
