Chapter 208: Goodbye, It's a Stranger
The next day, Gu Xiao's fever subsided, probably because of the cold at night, his spirit was a little bad, and he snuggled in his mother's arms.
While breastfeeding, my mother urged me to go back to the old house in the city to see, and I told my mother about the purchase of the house half a year ago, and my mother didn't say anything at the time, but remembered my father's death. Now she took the initiative to mention the old house, which surprised me a little.
After all, it was a memory of my father, and she was able to mention it calmly, indicating that she no longer had scruples in her heart, which made me feel a lot more relieved.
"Okay, I'll take the car over after eating and take a look, clean up, I haven't lived in it for so long, I don't know what it looks like to be dirty, and when it's cleaned up, we'll move over!"
Mother was very happy and teased Gu Xiao, "Did Xiaoxiao hear that?" Mom promised to take you to live in a big house, and grandma will take you to the biggest playground when the time comes, okay?"
Gu Xiao understood it, but the child was easily infected with the mood of adults, so he babbled and agreed. I looked at this scene, my heart was a little sour, this child has been in a bump since he was born, even if he has lived a stable life in his hometown this year, but who can know if there will be any changes when he goes to the city.
This is also something I've been worried about, and even sometimes, I'm afraid that Gu Xiao will grow up, afraid that when he can talk, ask me, where is my father? I don't know how to answer, and I don't know if I should let him meet Pei Shaobei.
In a daze, my mother had already taken out the key to the house that was in the suitcase and placed it in front of me. I know that once I decide to do some things, there is no turning back, and I looked up at Gu Xiao and sighed slightly in my heart, this child, I can't keep hiding, his future is always going to go out.
Thinking of this, I no longer hesitated too much, and when I waited for the long-distance bus, I was still comforting myself in my heart. The urban area is so big, and it may not be true that you will meet Pei Shaobei.
Coming out of the long-distance bus station, I took a taxi directly to the community, and when I rushed over, it was already noon, everyone was eating at home, and I didn't meet any acquaintances along the way.
When I reopened the door, the musty smell on my face made me feel like I was in a trance for a moment, as if I was in a different world, and the heavy curtains were drawn tightly, and there was no light at all.
On the shoe rack in the entrance, there are still slippers from his father's death, as if he has never left. I had a sour nose and let out a low cry, "Daddy!"
No one ran out of the living room anymore, laughing and calling me Wanwan, the whole house, cold and dead, making people so depressed that they could hardly breathe. I changed my shoes and walked to the window, opened the curtains, and opened the window to let the room in.
Because I haven't been here for a year, the heating fee has not been renewed, so the house is very cold, and the New Year's Day is approaching, and the sunlight in the urban area is not as good as in the countryside, so even the air is cold and scary.
I sniffed, a little unaccustomed to the hustle and bustle of the city and the smell of car exhaust. Not wanting to let myself sink deeper and deeper into such suppressed emotions, I took off my coat and started to clean up.
The sheets and covers had to be changed, but the clothes of my father in the closet, as well as the daily necessities, made me a little embarrassed, and my mother should clean up these things.
I hesitated, and I was worried that my mother would see things and think about people, and my emotions would be affected, so I thought about it, so I found a few large cardboard boxes from the storage room, turned them into them, sealed them with tape, and stacked them neatly in the storage room.
It was already three o'clock in the afternoon, I was tired and panting, sitting on the sofa to rest, the wind blowing in from the window took away the sweat, I was so cold that I remembered to renew the heating bill, otherwise Gu Xiao would definitely not be able to stand it when he came back.
hurriedly closed the window, locked the door and left, but ran into Aunt Li at the staircase.
Aunt Li didn't recognize me at first, but after a while, she grabbed my arm and shouted with an extremely excited expression, "Gu Wan, are you Wanwan?"
I'm a little fatter now than I used to be, because I didn't go to work after giving birth, and I didn't bother to keep in shape. However, because of the death of his father, he was mentally tortured, but he was not outrageously fat.
I reluctantly smiled and said hello, "Aunt Li, long time no see!"
Aunt Li pulled me to ask about the situation for more than a year, and when I talked about my father's death, she sighed and shed tears. I don't want this kind of thing to be exchanged for feelings, not to mention that there is no relationship between me and Aunt Li.
I found an excuse to leave, but Aunt Li was reluctant to send me to the gate of the community, chattering all the way, all of which were all about my father's life, and I felt uncomfortable and didn't want to say more.
At the gate of the community, I stopped a taxi, and when I got in the car, Aunt Li pulled me and said, "Wanwan, when you left, someone came to look for you, and it was that ......"
I knew who she was talking about, but I didn't want to hear it anymore, so I just pretended not to hear it, got into the car and waved at her. Aunt Li shouted a few more times outside the car, this time I really didn't hear it, the car slid through the familiar street, and the name in my heart came alive again.
Pei Shaobei?
I read it silently in my heart, and every time I read it, it hurts like a knife.
My mother asked me when Gu Xiao was three months old, and she said, you really plan to hide it like this, the child was born by you, but you have no right to deprive them of father-son recognition!
At that time, I was still in a state of extreme resistance, and I was angry at my mother's proposal. I think that letting Gu Xiao and Pei Shaobei meet is to let the Pei family snatch my child away, what is the difference between this and robbery. I can't bear the death of my father, let alone the loss of Gu Xiao from now on.
As soon as I thought of this, my fear of Pei Shaobei and the Pei family reached the extreme.
"Beauty, here, beauty?"
The driver looked back at me in surprise, and I came back to my senses, smiled embarrassedly, paid and got out of the car. This is the first time I have come to the company to pay the heating bill, and I used to collect money collectively in the community. I asked the front desk, filled out a series of forms, and had to retest the heating pipes because the heating was off, I looked at the time and booked for tomorrow noon, because the last bus back to the village was 5 p.m., and I had to rush back before that.
After dealing with the matter here, I hurriedly walked out, but accidentally bumped into a person, the person sighed, almost fell, I quickly reached out to help, but was thrown away by the other party in disgust.
"I'm sorry, I'm in a hurry, I didn't see anyone, I'm sorry!"
I hurriedly apologized, the man was wearing a white mink vest, stepping on the sky, and his delicate makeup showed a disdainful sneer, "I'm sorry? Do you know how much my clothes cost, and you're sorry?"
I looked at her clothes, they were indeed very delicate and expensive, but I just bumped her once, and I didn't break them, I really don't understand what she was shouting about?
"I'm sorry, I really didn't see it. But it's just a slight friction between us, so it won't damage your clothes, right?"
I apologized tactfully, but the man refused to give me up and insisted that I accompany the money. I also lost my patience, seeing that the time for the last train was approaching, I shouted urgently, "If you are so unreasonable, then we will go to the police station and call professionals to see how much you have lost this dress, if there is really a loss, I will compensate for everything!"
The man was startled by my sudden hardness, and was stunned for a while and didn't know how to answer, just when I was about to shock the other party so that I could get out, I heard her suddenly voice call out tactfully behind me, "Lawyer Pei, you have to make the decision for me!"
My back stiffened, but I prayed in my heart that there was another lawyer surnamed Pei in this legal profession.
"Miss Li?"
The familiar cold voice sounded faintly behind her, and the woman who was still arrogant just now instantly turned into a little sheep, twisting her small waist to meet her, "Oh, Lawyer Pei, I was bullied by a wicked woman here, you have to come and support me!"
I can't help but slander in my heart, and it's not a costume drama, do you want to call out all the titles of Lord Qingtian?
I listened to the footsteps behind me approaching, and subconsciously wanted to escape, but as soon as the footsteps moved, someone grabbed me, and then the accusation with confidence was raised, "Lawyer Pei, have you seen that this wicked woman wants to run away without apologizing for doing something wrong?
Pei Shaobei's face was so defenseless in my eyes, I had nowhere to escape, and looked over tremblingly.
I have imagined many times that we will reunite, and even many times, like the stupid heroine in an idol drama, will look forward to such an impossible but romantic encounter.
More often than not, though, it's self-deprecating that shatters all assumptions.
Pei Shaobei's face froze the moment he saw me, and even the professional smile on the corner of his mouth was frozen on his lips. The woman who had been trying to encourage Pei Shaobei seemed to be shocked by the other party's aura, and stopped halfway through her words, her face suspicious.
"Pei, Lawyer Pei?" the woman reminded Pei Shaobei with an embarrassed smile.
Pei Shaobei's coldness disappeared at this time, and when he replaced it, he was indifferent almost disdainful.
"Miss Li, what are you going to sue her? What substantive evidence is there, if you need to prosecute, please go to the office to find my assistant to register, I'm busy, goodbye!"
Pei Shaobei didn't give me half a look after he looked at me for the first time, and after he said these words to that Miss Li, he left directly.
Then Miss Li was a little stunned, so angry that she stomped her feet at me, but she no longer entangled with me, but hurried to chase Pei Shaobei. I looked at their figures one after the other, and my heart was a little sour, more because of Pei Shaobei's indifference, a strange illusion that could not be said to be happy or uncomfortable.
