Chapter 277: Estrangement
Lu Chiye's original plan was to send Cheng Yiran's mother and son to Lu's house, and if there was anything else needed, he would just go to Cheng Yiran's house to get it himself.
But when they arrived at Lu's house, they unexpectedly found that the house was brightly lit, and Lu's mother was sitting in the living room reading a book.
Seeing them enter the house, Lu Mu immediately stood up: "Chi Ye, Yiran, Hexuan, you are back." She tried to hide her excitement and said as calmly as she could.
Xiao Hexuan blinked his big eyes and silently hid behind Cheng Yiran.
Cheng Yiran pursed his lips and did not make a sound.
Lu Chiye asked in surprise, "Mom, why are you here?"
"Ahem, didn't I watch you go on a business trip and no one at home to take care of you? Lu's mother said, stepped forward to take the luggage in Lu Chiye's hand, handed it to the nanny and took it to the upstairs bedroom.
"Yiran. Mother Lu greeted Cheng Yiran, "Long time no see, is everything okay?"
It sounds like just a normal greeting.
But Cheng Yiran's eyes widened in surprise.
She has been married to Lu Chiye for many years, so she naturally knows how proud and good-looking Lu's mother is, and it is really difficult for her to bow her head and take the initiative to say hello like this, and it also completely shows her attention.
Cheng Yiran smiled at her: "It's all good." ”
She didn't call Lu Mu, just because she didn't know what to call it now.
"Hexuan, come over and let grandma take a look. Mother Lu looked at Hexuan and smiled kindly, but the latter hid behind her mother, only showing a pair of eyes looking at her, her eyes full of vigilance and distrust.
It can be seen that Lu's mother has a little bad feeling in her heart.
"Okay Mom, go back and rest, I'll settle Yiran and Hexuan." Lu Chiye spoke out at the right time to relieve her, grabbed Lu's mother's shoulder, and sent her to the direction of the stairs.
Lu's mother also understands in her heart that everything has to be done slowly, but fortunately, Cheng Yiran has now come back with the child, and there will be time in the future.
She nodded and smiled at Cheng Yiran and Hexuan: "Then I'll go up first, you're also tired, go and rest early." With that, she turned and went upstairs.
As soon as Lu's mother's figure disappeared at the corner of the stairs, Xiao Hexuan timidly opened his mouth: "Mom, let's go......"
Cheng Yiran and Lu Chiye both looked at him.
The little guy tugged at the corner of Cheng Yiran's clothes and wanted to go out.
Cheng Yiran squatted down and asked him, "What's wrong, Hexuan, where do you want to go?"
"I want to go home......" Hexuan said softly, as if he knew that adults would not agree easily, and he was not very confident.
Cheng Yiran and Lu Chiye glanced at each other, with worry in their eyes.
"Hexuan, it's getting late, let's sleep here, okay? If you don't like it here, we'll think about it tomorrow. Lu Chiye patiently persuaded him.
The little child still shook his head stubbornly: "Dad said that we don't have to live with grandma, but now grandma is here, and dad's words don't count!"
In the end, the corners of the little guy's eyes have begun to redden.
"Hexuan, you also heard Dad ask Grandma why she was here, which means that Dad doesn't know when Grandma came, Dad didn't say it doesn't count, it's just an accident. Cheng Yiran tried to play a round.
But the child's stubbornness came up, and he couldn't listen to anything.
The current Lu family is like a terrifying existence to Hexuan, and he is not even willing to take one more step inside.
Cheng Yiran still wanted to talk about it, but Lu Chiye stopped her: "Forget it, don't force the child, let's find a hotel to live in first, and wait for tomorrow." ”
"Okay. Now that Cheng Yiran has no other way but to agree.
Lu Chiye asked them to wait for a while, and went upstairs to get their luggage.
When passing the corner of the stairs, he saw Lu Mu sitting alone on the stairs, quietly wiping her tears, and when she saw him coming, she quickly got up and turned around, and walked quickly upstairs.
Lu Chiye looked at his mother's back, and seemed to realize for the first time that she was already an old man.
He sighed silently, didn't catch up, and after taking the luggage, he left with Cheng Yiran's mother and son.
After checking into the hotel, Hexuan went to bed early.
But Lu Chiye couldn't sleep.
Cheng Yiran woke up in the middle of the night and found that the pillow was empty, and went to the living room, and sure enough, Lu Chiye was standing alone by the window, quietly looking at the night outside.
His back looked a little lonely.
Cheng Yiran sighed lightly, walked over and hugged him from behind, and put her face on his back, she smelled the smell of tobacco, which was very light.
Thinking about it, Lu Chiye had smoked, but he was worried that the taste would be too big, so he only smoked one, and maybe even pinched it after less than one.
"Can't sleep?" she asked softly.
"Why did you wake up?" Lu Chiye held her hand, "Are you sleeping comfortably?" He turned around and looked at her with concern.
"I'm fine, but you, how long have you been standing here? Don't tell me you're up, it's still cold under your covers. Cheng Yiran looked up at him, and the starlight outside the window reflected in her eyes, shining like broken diamonds.
Lu Chiye couldn't help but smile, hugged her, rested his chin on her slender shoulder, and sighed softly: "My mother heard what Hexuan said. ”
Cheng Yiran was stunned for a moment before he realized what he said, although it was the words of a child, but it was precisely because the child spoke more bluntly than the adult that it was more lethal.
"I'm sorry, Chi Ye......" In addition to being sorry, she couldn't think of anything else to say at the moment.
She also understands that although Lu Mu has always had a deep opinion of her before, she is really good to Hexuan, so good that she has nothing to say.
It's just that in Hexuan's heart, his mother is the most important existence.
If someone hurts his mother, then, no matter how good that person is to him, he will reject it.
"There is no need to apologize, you are not wrong in this matter, and Hexuan is not wrong, speaking of which, my mother is also the result of her own planting. ”
"But you're going to have a hard time doing it. Cheng Yiran still felt guilty, after all, Lu Mu had already bowed her head first, but she still got such a response.
"It's okay, she's always used to living alone, and she'll be back in a few days. When Hexuan's attitude is relaxed, just let her come to see Hexuan again. Lu Chiye stroked her long hair and said slowly.
"But you ......" Cheng Yiran still felt that Lu Chiye was under a lot of pressure, otherwise he wouldn't be able to sleep all the time.
"I'm standing here not sleeping, but not for this question. "Although there is a little bit of an element in it.
