Chapter 219: Don't You Still Forget the Old Love?
My mother didn't ask again, but she said that if she knew her son, she would definitely be able to see it from my emotional changes. I lay alone in the living room for half a night, and only took off my coat in the early hours of the morning, went to the bathroom to take a shower, dried myself and lay beside Gu Xiao. This time I didn't hold him, but my heart settled down because of his breathing and the occasional stir.
I woke up all night, and the next day, I didn't lie to my mother that I had found a job, but told everyone that happened in the past few days, including Pei Shaobei's persecution of me. I didn't know if I was looking for comfort or if I wanted to find an ally to resist the imminent movement in my heart, but I looked at my mother, hoping that she would give me an answer.
Gu Xiao was on the crawling carpet, playing happily with the toys that Pei Shaobei bought. Mother sat on the sidelines, and sighed after listening to my words, "It's me and your father who dragged you down, if it weren't for the sudden illness of your father, the misunderstanding between you and Shaobei would not have deepened into the current situation." Late, Mom thinks that Shaobei still likes you. Mom didn't say that you should eat back grass, but I felt that Xiaoxiao would soon realize the existence of my father as she grew up, and when the time came, how would you explain it!
"Mom, aren't you afraid that Pei Shaobei will take Gu Xiao away?"
I asked my mother what I was most worried about, my mother was stunned, and her face became not very good-looking, she turned her head to look at Gu Xiao, the dependence, pity and loneliness in her eyes were all revealed, and after a pause, she shook her head, "I'm old, it's impossible to accompany him for the rest of my life, and it's impossible to accompany you for the rest of my life!"
My tears burst instantly because of my mother's words.
After becoming a mother, I gradually understood the love of parents for their children. That kind of love is beyond life, even if it is because of the difference in the concept of the generation gap, people have a kind of dislike and an incomprehensible alienation, but that kind of love will never disappear, no matter how old you grow, it will only increase.
I got up and hugged my mother, trying to persuade me but I whimpered before I could say a few words.
Sadness spreads through the living room, as if endlessly. I suddenly felt that something warm was hugging my legs, I looked down, Gu Xiao looked at me with big eyes, a clear gaze and a little curiosity, babbling in his mouth, and my mother kept screaming. All the sadness, thought that it would never dissipate, was melted by the child's gaze at this moment.
Mother and I hugged Gu Xiao and made a mess, and my mother talked about the pimple in my heart, I will no longer be entangled in the future with Pei Shaobei, let it be, if there is really fate, then try to be together, if you still don't have the courage, you won't force yourself anymore, as for Pei Shaobei coming to visit Gu Xiao, I actually longed for it, although he never came up, only occasionally appeared at the gate of the community, but never said a word to me again.
Since the last time I was Xiao Chen's translator, the studio has never introduced me to work. I had lost faith in the job fair, and I checked it on the Internet, intending to self-examine for graduate school, enter the school again, and look for opportunities again.
When I was preparing to apply for the exam, I received a call from Yuan Shao. He asked me to meet, but I refused outright, and I really didn't have a good impression of him. However, Yuan Shao is more persistent than I imagined, and when I went out to buy vegetables and was blocked by him at the door of the community, I suddenly felt that it was not impossible for Pei Shaobei to be defeated by such a person.
Yuan Shao has changed a lot, and he is no longer the gentle and humble young man he was before, and his sharp-edged and self-respecting aura is stronger than Pei Shaobei's so-called gold medal lawyer. I greeted with a sneer, "Lawyer Yuan, you are really haunted!"
Yuan Shao was not angry because of my unkindness, but laughed more and more excitedly, as if my appearance was a great stimulus for him, and this stimulation was by no means a negative meaning.
"Teacher Gu, long time no see. I was so resolute when I left, I thought you would never come back!" Yuan Shao opened the car door and made a gesture of please, raising his eyebrows slightly, "What, Teacher Gu doesn't dare?"
"It's not that I don't dare, I don't want to, Lawyer Yuan, there is nothing to talk about between me and you, and I don't have that friendship to share a car. I said that I would stagger him forward, and Yuan Shao's reaction to me seemed to have been expected, and he closed the car door and walked quickly to my side by side with me.
I looked at him sideways, extremely puzzled and impatient, "Lawyer Yuan, what do you mean by this?"
"Teacher Gu said that we don't have that friendship and can share a car, then I will walk with Teacher Gu, this road is not mine, Teacher Gu will not let me even walk the road!"
I really had no choice about such a laid-back person, so I simply let him go and made up my mind not to ignore him. Yuan Shao is taller than me, so it is impossible for me to get rid of him in terms of pace, and he is not in a hurry, his tone is calm and indifferent, "I heard Mr. Xiao say that Mr. Gu is looking for a job recently, and I am fortunate to participate in Mr. Xiao's foreign investment activities, and his performance is good, I don't know if I have this honor, I can ask Mr. Gu to work together!"
I snorted coldly, and couldn't help but ask, "I don't know what Lawyer Yuan is cooperating with me? Dealing with Pei Shaobei? Lawyer Yuan's defeat of Pei Shaobei was completed a year ago, and now he is also going hand in hand with him, there is no need to rely on other people's reputation to climb up, isn't it?"
Yuan Shao smiled, not caring about my provocation at all, just smiled, and continued, "Teacher Gu praised it falsely! But what you said is right, I really don't need to rely on Pei Shaobei to make a name for myself now, and today's lawyer industry is by no means he Pei Shaobei covers the sky with one hand." I've heard that in order to take revenge on Mr. Gu, Pei Shaobei instructed the major companies that are connected with him not to accept your resume, tsk, this method is really despicable!"
"Relying on women to suppress competitors, Lawyer Yuan's understanding of the word despicable seems to be different from mine!" Although I don't like Pei Shaobei's domineering approach to me, others, especially this annoying Yuan Shao, I absolutely can't bear to say such things.
Yuan Shao squinted at me, and then hooked his lips and smiled, "Listening to what Teacher Gu means, is it still unforgettable for Lawyer Pei?"
"What nonsense are you talking about!" I blushed instantly, and I didn't know if I was angry with his words, or embarrassed by what he said.
Yuan Shao was amused by my reaction, but his smile was more mocking.
I was so angry and embarrassed that I couldn't be patient anymore, so I stopped and glared at him and asked, "Yuan Shao, what do you want to do?"
"It's nothing, there's no need for Teacher Gu to have such a big resistance to me!" Yuan Shao smiled and stood with his arms crossed, "I just think that an excellent person should not be buried by some power, I hate powerism, and I am dissatisfied with all the acts of bullying the weak." So, I want to give you a chance, I don't know if Teacher Gu is willing to accept my kindness?"
I couldn't help but laugh when I heard this, and gave me a chance? Sure enough, it is the enemy who knows each other best. I have to say that Yuan Shao is really a tough and interesting opponent for Pei Shaobei.
"What is Teacher Gu laughing at?" Yuan Shao reacted slightly stunned at me.
I stopped laughing and calmly replied, "I just think it's funny, someone asked the same question not long ago, so I'll answer you with the same answer." Sorry, no!"
"That person is Pei Shaobei?" Yuan Shao immediately asked.
I nodded, not hiding it. "It's him, one is my former lover, and the other is someone I hate, Lawyer Yuan thinks, even if I have to choose one, which one will I choose?"
Yuan Shao's face was a little bad, and he softened before he said, "I haven't seen you for a year, and Teacher Gu is really sharper than before." Yes, I'm getting more and more interested in you, it doesn't matter, whether you refuse or accept, I won't let go, we'll see you again, farewell!"
Yuan Shao helped his eyes, turned around and left with a smile, his straight back disappeared from the crowd, I was stunned, I felt that this person's mind was too heavy, and I fell into the whirlpool for no reason. Obviously he has withdrawn, why, as if he has never gone out, he is still trapped in it and can't extricate himself.
I shook my head, didn't bother with the questions anymore, simply bought some groceries, and hurried back. Gu Xiao can already eat complementary food, and my mother and I are thinking of ways to make food for him in order to ensure his nutrition. After eating, the sun was just right outside, I just went out, and I didn't feel the wind, so I moved the car downstairs and took Gu Xiao to walk around the community. My mother didn't sleep well last night, and I forced her to go back to her bedroom for a lunch break.
In the old community, in addition to a few incomplete gravel roads, there is only one pavilion, and half of the stone piers in it are missing. Gu Xiao was very curious about everything, even the stone pier that was half missing. I thought it was funny, and with him in the past, he could already walk, but it was still a little unstable, but that competitive nature was already revealed.
He desperately tried to break free of my grasp, trying to reach the stone pier himself. I was so angry with his actions that I wanted to laugh, and I couldn't help but scold, "You little kid, you have such a strong temperament, but you look like your stinky father!"
As soon as the laughter and scolding fell, someone behind me accidentally mentioned the mineral water bottle on the ground, making a harsh sound, and when I looked back, I saw Pei Shaobei holding a big box in his hand, standing a few steps away with great embarrassment.
The sun shone on his face, slightly red, and the eyes that were usually calm and abnormal, slipped through the panic but quickly calmed down.
"What are you instilling in your children, teaching them all sorts of things!"
