They were saying something, saw me come in, and all stopped at the same time.

He Xiao looked at Duan Jingchen and said with a smile: "It's good for you, I poured beans from the bamboo tube, and I told her a word about it, it's really heart-wrenching." ”

"Anyway, Giorgio is my friend, and she is doing these things excessively, but from her standpoint, it may not be excessive. She just cares too much about you. After I finished speaking lightly, I ignored the two of them directly, walked to the front of the bean bag, and picked up the thermometer to take her temperature.

Doubao stayed in the hospital for half a month and was finally discharged.

I basically didn't go to the company much in the past half a month, and I was relieved that Doubao was completely free to go to kindergarten.

I make do in the hospital every night, even if Duan Jingchen runs for me every day, my skin condition is irreversibly worse. Today, I was going to go to the office during normal working hours, and I wore heavy makeup, but I still didn't feel ideal. The yellow gas on the face is too heavy, and the foundation can't cover it. I sighed, and that was all I could say.

Doubao packed up his schoolbag and came to the room to call me, just when he saw me sighing, he immediately took the schoolbag off his back, put it on the ground and turned it over, and finally took out a card in the dark compartment and said to me: "Mom, you go to beauty." ”

I took it and looked at it, and it was actually a beauty card with a lot of face value.

"Who gave it to you?" I asked.

"I saved up for two years and asked Uncle Duan to buy it for me. When I was in the hospital, I saw my mother get dark circles under her eyes. Doubao said with a smile.

When I heard such simple words, my eyes turned red with anger.

"Thank you, baby, Mom will definitely take the time to go. I said.

The feeling that Doubao gives me now is that he has grown up all of a sudden.

I cheered up and sent the bean bag to the kindergarten, and I didn't dare to make a mistake in watching him take the teacher's hand and walk in, and then continue to drive to the company.

I just sat down on a chair in the office when Liu Shuang knocked on the door and came in.

"Mr. Tao, Miss Qiao is coming to you. Liu Shuang stood at the door and said.

Jogian: She's coming for me?

……

Thinking of this, I have a headache, what can she do when she comes to me, what can He Xiao do with her divorce. But I can't take care of this matter at all.

People like He Xiao won't listen to other people's persuasion.

"Tao Ran, it's so hard for me to see you. ”

Before I could figure out how to talk when I saw her, she appeared behind Liu Shuang.

"Go ahead. I said to Liu Shuang.

After Liu Shuang turned around and left, I smiled at Qiao Ji'an: "I was so busy with the bean bag that I didn't contact you for a while." ”

She was smiling at me, "I know, that's why I waited until I came to you today." ”

"Sit down and have a drink?" I asked.

"Water will do the trick. She replied lightly.

I got up and went to get her bottled water, and at the same time I was thinking in my heart, I don't know if the divorce procedures between He Xiao and her have been completed, and why she came today.

When I got the water, I suddenly realized that she and I couldn't go back to the past.

She took the water from my hand, looked at me and smiled, "I feel like I'm sharing a lot with you." ”

I didn't speak, I was too familiar with her, and I didn't want to say polite words, but I couldn't say yes, and I had a lot of differences.

She smiled again: "Tao Ran, you don't have to look at me so vigilantly, I came to apologize to you today." ”

I was startled and looked up.

"I'm really sorry about that. I'm also a ghost of the moment, otherwise I wouldn't have done that. Now, I've come to my senses from this relationship, so I'm here to apologize to you. Giorgian said.

I looked at her in a daze: "You and He Xiao have ......"

"Gone. Qiao Jian said very easily, "If someone like him wants to marry me, I can't stop it, and if he wants to divorce me, I can't stop it." ”

"He forced you?" I asked.

Qiao Jian smiled and didn't speak.

"Has the property been divided? How much did He Xiao give you? What about the child, with you or with him?" I asked a series of questions.

Although we said that we were separated on the surface, after hearing that she had suffered such a big change in her life, I still couldn't help but care about her.

Jogian had been laughing, and when he heard my question, his eyes turned red, and then big tears fell.

I took out a few tissues and walked up to her and sat down, handed it to her and said, "Cry if you want to, women are different from men, as soon as they enter the relationship, they regard love as everything." I can understand what you're doing. However, I did get angry because it was too much. ”

At this time, Qiao Jia burst into tears.

She suddenly hugged me, tears streaming down my shoulders.

I was stiffened by her sudden hug, and I really didn't expect her to choose me as the object of her crying. However, after she cried for three minutes, my nose was also sore, and my hand couldn't help but soften, and I patted her on the back and said, "No matter what happens, things have to be resolved." Actually, I may not be saying persuasive words, but I hope you will listen to them. If you can't afford the consequences of what you've done, it's best not to do it. ”

"I just take him too seriously. Qiao Jian cried until he was angry, and said this intermittently.

I didn't speak anymore because now she just had to cry.

She cried in my office for more than half an hour, and finally stopped crying, wiped away her tears, and said to me: "Tao Ran, borrow me your makeup mirror." ”

I smiled and pulled the large vanity mirror out of the desk drawer and handed it to her.

She wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes in the mirror, took out her small makeup bag and touched up her makeup in the mirror.

I looked at her like this and smiled, this is the Jogian I knew.

"I divorced him, and the children belonged to him, and he said I was not qualified to take them. In addition, he gave me a large sum of money, so much that I could lie down and do nothing, and eat nonsense until I died. ”

"What's next for you?" I asked.

Except for his eyes being a little red and his voice being a little hoarse, Qiao Jian couldn't tell that he had cried so much just now.

"The child belongs to him, and I am relieved. He Xiao is not a good husband, but he is a good father. From the birth of the child to the present, he gets up every night to feed the child, and the confinement sister-in-law comes to do it, and he is not at ease. I thought that he loved me, so he loved my children. Now it seems that he only loves children. Qiao Jian said this, with a faint sense of loss.

"What are you going to do?" I asked.

"If you have money in your hands, you can do whatever you want, and you won't do anything to please an old man in this life. In case I'm in the mood that day, it's possible to play with little fresh meat. Qiao Jian said lightly.

I tried a few times, and finally saw that she was leaving, and then suddenly asked, "Ji'an, do you have a child?"

She was stunned for a moment, and laughed slowly: "Yes, I have a child, but I don't know where that child is now." ”

I looked at her and wanted to ask something, but she shook her head and said, "Can you stop mentioning this matter?" ”

"This child is the reason for your divorce, who is the father of the child?

"Tao Ran, if I say I don't know anything, do you believe it?" she asked, staring at me.

I was shocked by her aggressive eyes, and nodded slowly: "Believe or believe, but don't you want to make a fool of this kind of thing?"

She smiled and shook her head: "Tao Ran, not all of them, it's you." ”

I choked on her again.

She looked at me and suddenly smiled again: "I came today to apologize, you are willing to forgive me, I am very happy." In the future, if there is fate, goodbye. ”

"Where are you going?" I looked at her and suddenly understood that she had come to say goodbye.

"Who knows, let's go and relax. She stopped and waved her hand at me and said, "The happiest thing in my life is to meet you." ”

I was frightened by her tone and immediately chased after her: "Don't think about it." ”

"How so?" she said, clasping my hand, "Now I have an endless amount of money to spend, but I really don't have the heart to look for death, and the rest of my life is to spend money, and it's cool to think about." ”

After saying that, she left without hesitation.

Her marriage with He Xiao ended like this.

I stood in front of the window and was stunned for a long time, and suddenly thought of He Xiao's eyes when he first looked at Qiao Ji'an. At that time, his eyes were warm, expectant, and there was some innocence in them.

What kind of monster is marriage that makes two people who obviously love each other go farther and farther.

I remember an old song that I didn't feel when I heard it, but now that I think about it, I feel that every word is fine. The lyrics in it are roughly like this: It's just that a woman is easy to fall in love, always trapped by love, and finally falls deeper and deeper, but a woman, love is her soul, and she can dedicate her life to the person she loves.

I wanted to call He Xiao and ask him, but I picked up the phone and put it down. After all, this is a private matter between him and Georgian, and I have mixed too much, what will he think. What's more, now that they are all divorced, Qiao Ji'an did not raise any objections to this result.

But, I don't know why, I just feel inexplicably wronged in my heart, and I can't cry when I want to cry.

The departure of Jogian made me feel depressed again for a few days.

However, whether you are happy or unhappy, time is the same, and you roll forward day by day at your own speed.

When the weekend came, I picked up my spirits and went to the vegetable market to buy groceries and prepare to cook a hearty weekend meal for the bean buns.

I drove the car to the door of the vegetable market, and suddenly received a call from He Xiao. He said on the phone: "Tao Ran, let Aunt Wang pick up the bean buns, you have to come back and work overtime, it's a bit urgent." ”

I immediately stopped: "Do you have to go back? ”

"Just make it clear, come here, I'll be waiting for you in your old office. After He Xiao finished speaking, he hung up the phone.

I stood at the gate of the vegetable market for a while, and finally called Aunt Wang.

After arranging the bean buns, I drove back to the office.

He Xiao was indeed waiting for me in the office, and when he saw me walk in, he immediately stood up and pointed to the computer: "How do you deal with this?"

I glanced at him strangely: "Mr. He, your acting is too fake, do you need to ask my opinion on work?"

He smiled: "Just look at it." ”

I sat down at the phone and opened the email he had marked in yellow.

The content of the email is very simple, about how to renew the 5G patent after the expiration of the use period. This is an email from a foreign operator, and there are too many additional conditions in it, which makes people dizzy.

After reading it, I said to him: "It's very simple, just throw out our conditions, if he doesn't agree, don't renew the contract." ”

He Xiao glanced at me, held his chin and smiled: "There is still a note below that I haven't read." ”

Only then did I notice that after many lines in between, there was still a short paragraph. If you look closely, you really feel that the problem is complicated.

This operator wants to exchange with us with one of its new technologies.

"You are in this business, I really don't understand, how about the technology he wrote? Is it profitable. He Xiao asked.

"Before the technology takes shape, no one knows what the profit will be in the future. And as soon as a lot of technology comes out, it's almost outdated. Because at the same time, there are many companies developing new communication technologies, and as long as others surpass you in research and development, your technology will basically be wasted. However, before it is formed, no one will disclose their core technology, so much research is useless. I looked at He Xiao, "Regarding the investment in this area, it is a gamble." ”

"If it's a bet, do you think you should bet on it?" He Xiao was very interested.

"I need to check some more information, I don't think I can reply to him today, two days later. I said.

He Xiao nodded and said, "Okay, in this regard, I trust your judgment." ”

The matter was settled, and I waved goodbye to him: "You can make it clear on the phone, and the same is true for calling me over." ”

"Is that clear?" he asked, rhetorically, "but I'll have to look up a dictionary to understand what those terms mean." See for yourself a little more direct. He Xiao glanced at me, "Why are you ranking last in all the jobs now?"

I looked at him and smiled, "I have enough money to spend." ”

"Let's go, let's go, I'm too lazy to talk to you. He Xiao waved at me.

I suddenly thought of his daughter and reminded him: "The child is still young, I suggest you don't let the nanny take it all day, there are so many cases of baby abuse now." She can't speak, and if she really gets beaten, you won't know. ”

"Whoever dares to touch my daughter's finger, I will kill her whole family. He Xiao glared at me and said, "But you don't have to worry about this, I sent the child to my father, he has guards and everything, and an aunt who has been in my house for more than 30 years, it will be fine." ”

That's when I breathed a sigh of relief.

I've been worried about it for about a week.

It was already nine o'clock when I got home, and after parking the car, I walked to the gate. But when I got to the steps, I was stunned.

The lights in all the rooms were not on and the whole house was dark.

Doubao and Aunt Wang should be at home? My heart sank, and I thought of a bad place. Immediately took out his mobile phone to call his aunt, and at the same time unscrewed the door of the house.

The moment I opened the door, the lights in the house suddenly came on, and they were very bright. I was so stimulated by the sudden glare that I closed my eyes.

I slowed down for a few seconds, then reopened my eyes, shocked by what I saw.

There were many pink balloons floating in the room, and each balloon was hung with roses, some pink, some white, some red and purple. The balloons are also decorated with colorful lights, which decorate the house in a dreamy way.

My eyes passed through the sea of balloon flowers and saw Doubao standing not far away in a neat little suit, and Duan Jingchen was standing next to him.

He looked at me, motionless, with a smile on his face.

Doubao pushed him and said, "Uncle Duan, it's your turn." ”

Duan Jingchen was pushed by the bean bag like this, and he actually blushed. He walked up to me with some restraint, knelt down on one knee and held a pink rose in his hand and said, "Tao Ran, can you please marry me?"

I didn't expect him to come and propose a second time.

"You've already proposed. I whispered.

"You didn't really say yes last time, so do it all over again. Duan Jingchen's face turned even redder, "I know, this arrangement is a bit vulgar, but this is the most beautiful marriage proposal I can think of." ”

He was so tall and knelt in front of me like this, and his face showed the nervous and expectant smile of a young man.

I glanced at the bean bag, and he looked at me nervously with his hands clenched into small fists.

I closed my eyes vigorously, and said to myself in my heart, Tao Ran, since I promised the child, let's do it. Don't let him think you're a mom whose words don't count. Tao Ran, it's time to say goodbye to the past...... Finally, I whispered to myself again, Gu Yi, goodbye.

I opened my eyes, exhaled heavily, and reached out.

Duan Jingchen took out a sparkling pink diamond ring from the heart of the pink rose and put it on my hand, gently took my hand and kissed it, and said, "Tao Ran, thank you for putting your hand on it." ”

With that, he put the ring on my hand.

I felt my fingers cold, and when I looked down, I saw that I was being covered by this man's ring.

Bean Bao sounded a small colorful salute on the side, and colored paper shattered into stars spilled from his head.

I smiled, and there was something in my heart that I let go, but I couldn't let go.

Is that the right thing to do?

At the hospital, I agreed to the bean bag, but I regretted it as soon as I was discharged.

If Duan Jingchen hadn't acted today, I would have pretended that this matter had passed. I admit that I really don't intend to be trustworthy in this regard.

I looked at the people in the room, Doubao was very happy, Duan Jingchen was very happy, and even Aunt Wang, who was watching from the sidelines, was also very happy.

At this time, someone knocked on the door, Aunt Wang went to open it, and He Xiao walked in.

He saw the ring on my hand at a glance and said with a smile: "Tao Ran, your business is a good deal, and you have received two engagement rings alone." ”

"You called me to the office to give them time to set up their room. I asked.

He Xiao smiled: "The room will be arranged in the afternoon, but if you come back too early and it won't get dark, these effects won't come out." It's not easy for us old people to come up with such an idea, so I always have to let him get the effect he wants. ”

Aunt Wang had already prepared a sumptuous dinner, and now that everything was settled, everyone sat around for dinner.

My heart is a little warm, but there is also a deep astringency. I'm sitting here, not even knowing what I'm doing.

Is it really like this to marry Duan Jingchen? What if Gu Yixiao comes back?

But now that all the people are there, I can't say that. Duan Jingchen has a head and a brain, and I have to save enough face for him.

After eating, Duan Jingchen wanted to leave with He Xiao. He Xiao smiled, patted him on the shoulder and said, "You are still leaving." ”

At this time, the bean bag has already gone upstairs.

Duan Jingchen said very seriously: "I can afford to wait, and I can only be practical if I take my time." ”

The two of them left together, and I stepped on my stool to take off the balloons on it. However, when I stepped on the stool, my head was dizzy and my eyes were dizzy, and I fell down.

Aunt Wang immediately ran down when she heard the movement, saw me fall to the ground, and trotted to help me to the sofa: "What's the matter? These are not in a hurry, they look good when they are hung, I will get them when I clean up the house on Monday." It's a bean bag decorated with Mr. Duan, and you have to let the child watch it for two days. ”

"Well, that's good. I had a bit of a headache and went to sleep first. I said, "You can clean up and get some rest." ”

With that, I went upstairs.

That night I had a fever, and I was in a semi-dazed state. At half past two in the morning, I woke up with a sore throat that was about to smoke. I struggled to find cold medicine, took it myself, lay down, and started sweating.

I dreamed all night, and my dreams were all about the sea that I could never swim out of.

When I woke up the next morning, the fever had subsided. However, I sat on the bed and didn't move, the feeling of drowning last night, was Gu Yixiao giving me a dream and telling me how he died?

Thinking of this, my heart is inexplicably sad.

At this time, Aunt Wang called me to wake up and have breakfast, I had a headache and no appetite, so I said that I didn't want to eat and asked her to bring bean bags to eat.

I was lying in bed and by 10 a.m. it was burning again.

Doubao didn't see me in the morning, ran in to play with me, and after finding out that I was sick, he called Duan Jingchen directly without consulting me.

My cold lasted for three days, and I was sleeping except for eating. When I was in good spirits in the middle, I opened the phone and checked what was said in the email.

On the fourth day, I felt much better, just as soon as I stood up, I felt top-heavy, like stepping on cotton.

"Tao Ran, your nerves have been too tense recently, it's good to have a fever and detoxify. Duan Jingchen looked at me with deep eyes and said, "You must call me when you are not feeling well, otherwise the bean bag is so small, how can I take care of you." Doubao said on the phone, you still don't let me find me. You and I will soon become a family, give me the opportunity to take care of you, okay?"

I looked at him and smiled weakly and said, "Okay." ”

From today onwards, it doesn't matter what I think in my heart.

The most important person in my life is gone, then I will no longer be a selfish mother, for the sake of my children, I will be decent for a while, and be an ordinary person. No longer think about those ethereal things, down-to-earth, worldly once.
