Chapter Eighty-Nine: Disappointment
"Mrs. Chen, there is something we don't understand very well, you keep saying that a woman like me is? I want to ask, what do you call a woman like me? Why can't a person like me be worthy of Chen Yidong?" When she was angry to the limit, Qing Huan suddenly calmed down, she raised her head and looked at the woman on the other end of the video calmly.
Mother Chen's eyebrows furrowed, and she was about to speak, but before she could speak, she was blocked by Qing Huan's next words.
"I rely on my own ability to work to support myself, and the industry I have engaged in is not unseemly, and I have never coveted anything from Chen Yidong when I am with him, I don't understand, I am self-reliant and self-reliant, and I live hard, why did I become such a woman in your eyes?" I know that you feel that you have money and status, so you seem to be born superior, but in my eyes, in fact, there is no distinction between high and low, but everyone's starting point is different, I think I don't need to be ashamed because I was not born in a famous family, and you should not be proud to use your own set of values to look down on others because you are luckier than others, this is not something that a cultured person will do. ”
Mother Chen was stunned when she heard this, and the usual elegance and calmness on her face were replaced by anger, "You dare to talk to me like this." ”
"I've always been a person who treats others as they do to me," Qing Huan looked straight at her and said, "If the person I talk to is a person worthy of respect, I will naturally respect her, and vice versa...... I don't think there's any need for us to continue today's conversation, I still have something to do, so I'll go first. ”
With that, she ignored the other party's face, pushed away the chair and stood up, and walked towards the door of the café.
Chen's mother has been used to being in a high position for a long time, and she has been despised like this, she was so angry that her whole body trembled, and she threw the tablet in her hand forward, and the tablet touched the back of the car chair and bounced onto the floor mat, making a muffled sound. After a while, she slowly calmed down, and then sneered, Rely on yourself, right? Gu Qinghuan, I want you to see yourself clearly, rely on yourself, you are nothing......
When Qing Huan returned to the hotel lobby, he unexpectedly saw a familiar figure in the corridor leading to the elevator, he was standing against a pillar, with a rare solemn expression on his face.
The long hallway of the hotel, she is on this end, he is on the other side.
Qing Huan paused slowly, a slightly sour wetness, and soaked into his eyes. But thinking back on everything that had happened in so long, her heart was like a stone that had fallen into the mire, and it had sunk. There was a numbness there, and she couldn't even touch herself.
Chen Yidong saw her when he turned his head inadvertently, and then looked at her in a daze, and straightened up. There was a moment of silence in both of them. Then she strode towards the elevator, and he stared straight at her, striding over.
The moment they were about to meet, Qing Huan looked away and walked forward calmly. The moment he misturned, his arm was grabbed.
"Qinghuan, let's talk. He stared at her and said softly.
Qing Huan slowly met his gaze, the corners of his lips were hooked, his emotions were difficult to distinguish, and after a few seconds, he finally nodded.
At a Chinese restaurant near the hotel, Qing Huan and Chen Yidong sat opposite each other.
When he looked up, he saw that she was a little distracted when she was picking up vegetables.
"What are you thinking?" he asked.
"Nothing. ”
Both of them were silent for a while, he stretched out his chopsticks and put the vegetables in her bowl, and was silent for a moment before saying, "How are you doing?"
"Hmm. Qing Huan slowly ate the dish he sandwiched, and only after swallowing the last bite did he slowly raise his head and look straight at him: "Can you tell me why?"
"Qing Huan, the situation at that time was very complicated, it was difficult for me to explain it to you for a while, I didn't mean to say goodbye so unexpectedly. Chen Yidong said bitterly.
"I think I'll have time to listen to you slowly explain the situation. Qing Huan was silent for a moment before speaking.
Chen Yidong was just about to open his mouth, when the mobile phone suddenly rang, he glanced at the screen, or chose to pick it up first, just after listening to what he said over there, his face changed, after hanging up the phone, then looked at Qing Huan and said: "I'm in a bit of a hurry, now I have to rush back to the hotel immediately, I'll come to you right away after I deal with it, Qing Huan, can you wait for me?"
Qing Huan glanced at him and saw that there was indeed an anxious look in his eyes, so he nodded.
Chen Yidong reached out and held her hand, put it on his lips and kissed it gently: "When I come back, I will tell you everything, and then we will leave together, this time, I will never let go again." ”
Qing Huan looked at him, lost his mind for a moment, but finally said nothing.
However, she didn't expect that this would be in the evening, when she saw Chen Yidong's assistant reappear in front of her, she suddenly wanted to laugh, how could she be so stupid that she would choose to believe him again. And that man must have chosen to give up on himself again, right?
In the hotel room, the curtains were tightly drawn, and the room was dim, and it was impossible to tell whether it was day or night.
With a snap, the room suddenly lit up, and then Su Jing's surprised voice sounded: "Qinghuan, what's wrong with you?"
The sudden light made her eyes a little uncomfortable, and she subconsciously reached out to block it.
Su Jing sighed, walked to Qing Huan who was curled up in the corner, and reached out to brush a strand of hair from her forehead behind her ear, "You have been wrong since last night, and you left the banquet well, and what did you say about walking alone, it is raining so hard, what are you going to do alone? And this morning, I woke up and didn't see you, and I didn't answer the phone, what happened? What happened?"
Qinghuan's tears fell suddenly, her friend's words of concern, made her instantly feel that her emotions were about to get out of control, she reached out very quietly and pressed her face to wipe away the tears, but the tears seemed to be unstoppable, just wiped and new tears kept flowing down her cheeks, she had to wipe it, while crying and repeating a sentence: "I waited for him for so long, I waited for him for so long......"
Seeing her like this, Su Jing's heart suddenly began to sour, she knelt on the carpet, pulled Qinghuan in her arms, and there was a hint of crying in her voice: "Shh...... It's okay, it's all over, don't be sad......"
Qing Huan only remembered that night, she hugged Su Jing and cried so much that her voice was hoarse, and the majestic sound of heavy rain could be vaguely heard outside the window, drowning her cry in this strange city.
In the hospital, when Tranquility was pushed out of the operating room, and the doctor confirmed that he was out of danger, the people waiting outside breathed a sigh of relief.
Chen Yidong stayed up outside the operating room for more than ten hours, and it was only at this time that he felt some loss of strength in his body. As soon as he turned around against the wall, he saw his mother standing in the corridor with a blue face, and because of Tranquility's sudden accident, she rushed over from S City.
He walked over slowly, without saying a word.
"I have something to say to you. Chen's mother looked very bad, turned around and walked in the direction of the elevator.
Got into the back seat of the car waiting downstairs, Chen's mother scolded sharply as soon as she opened her mouth: "What are you thinking? Do you have a sense of responsibility? Is it for the sake of that woman, you don't even want your own family?"
Chen Yidong didn't speak, just looked out the window, the rain was still falling, and I don't know why, California is a perennial sunny place, and when I came here this time, I encountered rain for two days in a row.
"Fortunately, the people on the Ning family's side don't know that the reason for this incident is because you want to break the marriage contract, otherwise, you will make it difficult for your father, he is now walking on thin ice, and without the support of the Ning family, what will the consequences be without me You should understand it, right?" Mother Chen continued to say with a straight face, "I think you are a ghost...... What a good child is Ningning, beautiful, capable, and has a good personality, how many times better than that Gu Qinghuan?"
"Am I just a tool for you and your father, a tool used to marry to keep your current status?" Chen Yidong suddenly turned his head to look at his mother, his face was barren, "In order to force me to comply, you have done so many things, using her to threaten me again and again, how can any parent threaten him with his own child's beloved? Do you treat me as my own son? Are you worthy of being a parent?"
Chen's mother couldn't sit still, she turned her head angrily, and said sharply: "How did you talk to your mother? All these years of upbringing you have been in vain? Just because of a woman, do you deny everything this family has done for you, everything your parents have paid for you? You have grown up so big, who gave birth to you and who raised you? You have enjoyed the privileges of the Chen family for so many years, and now when the Chen family needs you, you want to leave it alone? Let me tell you, in this world, there has never been such a simple and easy thing, believe it or not, if you dare to break the marriage contract, I will let Gu Qinghuan disappear from this world from now on!"
The carriage suddenly quieted down, Chen Yidong didn't say a word, just looked at her quietly, like looking at a person who had nothing to do with him, how good it was, upbringing, it was his upbringing that made him sincerely respect them and be filial to them since he was a child. It was his upbringing that made him give up his beloved woman and choose the most beneficial approach for the family when something happened at home, but in the end it was just a joke, how could they ever treat themselves as relatives?
All the ordeal is nothing but a joke.
Chen Yidong smiled very shallowly, the smile was so bleak that it was frightening, and then pushed the car door and prepared to leave.
An inexplicable panic rose in Chen's mother's heart, as if she had an ominous premonition: "You stop me!" she took a breath, "Mom is talking to you!"
"Like you said, since I have enjoyed the privilege of the Chen family for so many years under the surname of the Chen family, I will pay for it, but you don't want to trouble Qinghuan again, otherwise I will definitely make you regret it. Chen Yidong said calmly.
Mother Chen looked at him in shock, and she didn't know what to say for a while.
