034 I hope that your red envelope contains forgiveness and peace
Zhuang Yan acted decisively, and that night he seriously thought about the feasibility of kneeling all night.
He didn't mind kneeling down to Jiang Zufeng, when their family was not so rich when they were children, they always maintained the custom of kowtowing to their elders during the New Year. But later, after his father became a big boss, he didn't allow them to pay New Year's greetings like that anymore for the sake of face.
In the early years, Zhuang Yan would regard kneeling as a big deal, but now, there is no turmoil in his heart at all.
He didn't know if it was maturity or desperation, but he was at peace with his heart.
But he knew very well that if he was asked to kneel by another object, he would definitely not be as calm as he is now. Jiang Zufeng is his elder, he and Jiang Yang are closer than brothers, Jiang Zufeng is no different from his father in a sense, every time he wanted to feel the warmth of the family, he would go to Jiang Yang's house to rub the temperature.
Zhuang Yan had been wondering if the act of kneeling would make Jiang Zufeng stop making trouble.
At dawn he didn't come up with any results, and although he wasn't sure, he felt that this method would work. If you don't try, how can you know if it works?
The next day, he went to the company to explain the big and small things, after all, he had resigned, he knew that the current picking on private affairs would have an impact on his reputation, but he couldn't wait. Xiao Ai's tossing day and night made him extremely bored, and when he thought that Shen Xi couldn't go back to his home with the children, he felt that he was very useless.
Xiao Feng saw that he had explained so many things, and his face suddenly turned white to ashes: "Mr. Zhuang, are you in such a hurry?"
Zhuang Yan shook his head: "No, there are urgent private matters to do." Pay more attention to things in the company and call if you have any questions. ”
Xiao Feng cautiously looked left and right, secretly thinking that Zhuang Yan really regarded him as a friend, and even directly told him that he was going to do personal affairs: "Mr. Zhuang, when will you come back? There is a contract to be renewed in two days, and you need to sign and seal it when the time comes......"
"Make arrangements every day, contact me a day in advance if something happens, and I will come back in time. ”
Zhuang Yan went back to his hometown first, Jiang Zufeng was a fellow villager with him, and he wanted to buy some local products from his hometown and then go to Jiang Zufeng.
The heart that was originally calm suddenly fluctuated after stepping into that villa.
If Shen Xi knew about his kneeling with the children, would he have any thoughts? Zhuang Yan didn't think that kneeling like Jiang Zufeng was a spineless thing, when he was a child, Jiang Yang knelt down to his father, and he also knelt down to Jiang Zufeng several times.
So in the face of Jiang Zufeng's toss, the feelings in his heart were very complicated.
It's impossible to talk about resentment, after all, there are so many years of affection, but if it is impossible to fully understand, he is more or less annoyed in his heart. He understood the reason why Jiang Zufeng sent his father to prison, and now he has long thought about it, his father has indeed violated the law and discipline, and he should be punished by the law; his father betrayed Jiang Zufeng with Zhao Dehai at the beginning, and Yu Qing should also be punished.
But in any case, his father let Jiang Yang go back then, but Jiang Zufeng is now attacking their juniors.
Sometimes Zhuang Yan also thinks that he is Jiang Zufeng, and only after he came out of prison for a few years did he know that Xixi's mental condition was wrong, and after he was released from prison, he obviously thought that she wanted to die but couldn't meet him immediately, and after slowly letting her get used to it, she wanted to live a good life, but she suddenly died of illness......
Zhuang Yan took a big breath coldly, and his heart beat wildly for a while before he finally calmed down.
He thought that if he were Jiang Zufeng, he would also go crazy. But he will calm down after a while of madness, after all, there are still children to take care of.
Jiang Zufeng was watching TV at home, when an advertisement was being shown on the TV, it was an advertisement for infant milk powder, and a cute little baby boy was giggling and crawling around. The advertisement has been playing on a loop, and later Zhuang Yan learned that after Jiang Zufeng accidentally saw this advertisement on TV, he liked the little baby boy very much, so he asked people to record it.
"Uncle, I'm here to apologize to you. My dad was really wrong back then, and now he has subdued the law, I hope you can let me go and let Xixi go. Zhuang Yan handed the souvenir to Jiang Zufeng, and when he raised his eyes to look at Zhuang Yan, Zhuang Yan slowly knelt down.
Kneeling heavily, there was a muffled thud on the floor.
Jiang Zufeng's pupils dilated slightly, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise: "What are you doing?"
He doesn't quite remember Jiang Yang and Zhuang Yan kneeling to him when he was a child, and now Jiang Yang occasionally kneels when he is beaten by him, after all, Jiang Yang was too naughty when he was a child, and it can be said that he was beaten by him since he was a child, so Jiang Yang's kneeling when he was beaten was very different from Zhuang Yan's situation.
Of course, he understood that Zhuang Yan was succumbing to beg for mercy, and there was a sense of pride in his heart, what was the pride? Finally took revenge? Finally trampled the Zhuang family under his feet? He couldn't tell clearly, but he hurriedly got up and entered the study, and whispered to Jiang Yang's mother's last photo for a while.
Zhuang Yan caught the sense of accomplishment on Jiang Zufeng's face, and after the others left, he pulled the corners of his mouth bitterly and shook his head helplessly.
What is the meaning of fighting for people in this life?
He knelt for a long time that day, and when Jiang Zufeng was eating at noon, Zhuang Yan smelled the fragrance of the food, and his stomach rumbled in protest.
Jiang Zufeng was very happy that day, and even called a partner to his house halfway. Zhuang Yan knew that Jiang Zufeng deliberately wanted people to see him like this, his brows furrowed for a long time, and he struggled for a long time and didn't stand up after all.
Hearing Jiang Zufeng and that person talking from time to time mixed with laughter, Zhuang Yan felt a sense of humiliation in his heart.
But this humiliation was quickly suppressed by him, because his knees were already painful and numb, and he began to wonder if he would really have any effect in doing so except to humiliate himself.
More often than not, he misses Shen Xi and his two children.
I have never been separated from them for so long, can the two women take the children well? Will they meet human traffickers? Will they meet scammers? Without him by his side, will Shen Xi not sleep well at night? Will they suffer from heat stroke in the summer......
He felt so nervous that he was worried about all this mess.
Shen Xi is now very self-reliant, and he is no longer afraid of life as before, he believes that his little girl can take good care of the two children.
He knelt on an empty stomach until three o'clock in the afternoon, when Jiang Zufeng sat on the sofa and continued to watch TV.
"Uncle, when I was a child, I didn't kowtow to you until the Chinese New Year, and you would give me a red envelope at that time. His lips were dry and cracked, and the most uncomfortable thing was his stomach, which made him very hungry.
Jiang Zufeng raised his eyebrows: "What, do you want red envelopes?" He laughed very wantonly, and asked the aunt at home to help him take a few red tickets from the study and stuff them into Zhuang Yan's trouser pocket, "Enough?"
Zhuang Yan's brows were twisted into a vertical line, he knew that he had to behave humiliatingly in order to satisfy Jiang Zufeng, which he had learned from Shen Xi. But in fact, he did feel humiliated at this time, he was like a beggar who was given a handful by Jiang Zufeng.
"Uncle, now that I'm older, it's not money that is rare. I hope your red envelope is filled with forgiveness and peace, Xixi wants to divorce me, you know Yangzi's temperament, he will not marry Xixi, you force Xixi so much, Yangzi will hate you. He didn't want Jiang Zufeng to be angry, so he was very soft.
Jiang Zufeng was indeed not angry, but his mood was already not good.
Of course he knew that Jiang Yang didn't buy it, because Jiang Yang had already quarreled with him several times during this time, and he just saw Jiang Yang frowning all day long and wanted to force Jiang Yang to do what he didn't dare to do.
That day, he knelt on an empty stomach until four o'clock before standing up, because he might meet Jiang Yang later in time, and he didn't want Jiang Yang to be embarrassed by seeing that scene.
When he stood up, his knees were stiff, and his legs couldn't stand at all, and it took a while to ease the soreness on his legs.
He ate a lot that night, he really hadn't been hungry like this since he was a child, and thinking that Shen Xi often didn't have enough to eat when he was a child, his nose was a little sour. He rubbed his knees for a long time in the hotel that day, and when he thought of Shen Xi's soft little hands, his nose was sour again.
He really wanted Shen Xi to talk to the children, but he called Shen Xi after adjusting his emotions, pretending to video chat with her as if nothing happened, and couldn't bear to touch her eyebrows and eyes on the screen. Lele and Kang Kang both giggled at the camera, and Lele excitedly told him where he went to play today.
Hearing that Yao Lan was very good to Shen Xi and them, Zhuang Yan was a little dazed, maybe he was too ** at the beginning, and he shouldn't have prevented their mother and daughter from recognizing each other. He felt that Yao Lan was selfish, but Shen Xi was Yao Lan's daughter after all, he thought, Yao Lan should love Shen Xi, right? Zhuang Yan knew that Shen Xi had been longing for maternal love subconsciously, so he didn't persuade her to stop having more dealings with Yao Lan.
"Hee-hee, I miss you so much. Zhuang Yan suppressed his emotions and whispered to the screen.
At that time, Shen Xi had been away for several days, she bit her lower lip and looked at her children, and hurriedly walked into the bathroom before responding with a smile: "I miss you too." She...... Are they still going to mess with you?"
Zhuang Yan felt a dull pain in his heart, he had forgotten the reason why Shen Xi left with the children just now, thinking of Xiao Ai, he remembered those photos again. But as soon as he saw Shen Xi's sincere expression, he let go of his gentleness again: "Don't make trouble." Heehi, I'm sorry, but I didn't do well enough. ”
Shen Xi bit his lower lip again, lowered his gaze and didn't look at the camera: "Husband, don't say that." Everyone makes mistakes, and I allow you to make mistakes, and I know you don't mean to. ”
Zhuang Yan's heart was very sweet, and the sweetness was wrapped in sourness: "Xixi, call again." ”
He wanted to hug her right away and kiss her hard. All the humiliation today is not worth mentioning in front of her.
Sometimes he would think, if it was Shen Xi who met him first, would he still love Shen Xi so much? It was Zhou Jin who brought him out of his closed heart and let him learn to open his heart and love hard, and it was Zhao Yaru who made him understand the triviality of marriage, and understood that marriage cannot be built on the basis of no love at all.
Shen Xi tilted his head suspiciously: "What's your name?"
She saw the corners of Zhuang Yan's slightly curved mouth, laughed, and called sweetly several times: "Husband, husband, husband, dear~ I miss you too." ”
She said and took the initiative to pout her mouth and kiss the camera, and after kissing, Zhuang Yan obviously saw that her face was dyed with two red clouds. His heart suddenly became beautiful, he chuckled, raised his hand to touch her face, but only met a cold screen: "Xixi, can you forgive me?
Before Shen Xi left, his body obviously rejected him. Although they rarely had contact with Jiang Zufeng in order to show Jiang Zufeng at that time, every time he wanted to kiss Shen Xi, she would subconsciously turn her head, and when she came back to her senses, she would take the initiative to hold his face and kiss him.
Zhuang Yan thought, Shen Xi more or less thought he was dirty.
Hey, he sighed and didn't wait for Shen Xi's answer, because Shen Xi was in a daze. He knew that his question was inappropriate, he was just emotional, no matter which man faces the woman he loves deeply, he will have that impulse in that regard, not to mention that since the incident with Xiao Ai, he has not been intimate with Shen Xi until today.
Shen Xi saw that he was lost, and hurriedly smiled hard: "What nonsense? We are husband and wife, who will touch you if we don't let you touch us?"
"Hmm. Zhuang Yan nodded with a smile and did not continue the topic. He regretted asking a little bit just now, he wanted to give Shen Xi enough time to digest this matter, whether it was psychological or physical, it needed time to adjust.
He was glad that he destroyed the photo in time, if Shen Xi saw that kind of photo, he thought, Shen Xi didn't know how long it would take to digest it before he could completely let go of this matter.
He slept very deeply that night, and early the next morning, after dealing with his work email, he went to find Jiang Zufeng again, and this time he knelt down directly after saying hello.
This time, Jiang Zufeng's satisfaction had been greatly reduced: "What is this for? If I refuse to give that red envelope, how long are you going to kneel?"
Zhuang Yan looked at him steadily: "Kneel until you agree to give." Uncle, when you were a child, you often said that I was half your son, and in my heart, you were also half my father for a long time. ”
There is an element to this, but it is true. When his parents quarreled before, he had thought about how good it would be if Jiang Zufeng was his father, how much Jiang Zufeng loved his wife, and this kind of man was worthy of being a father.
