I used to think that family affection was dispensable, but now I know that family affection is necessary, and it is constantly abandoned.

"What are you crying about? Everyone has a time when they are old, just recognize the actual situation and make arrangements. There are only four things that cannot be avoided in this life, that is, birth, old age, sickness and death. These four things are not at all transferred by your personal will. Luo Xiaotian took out a few tissues and handed them to me and said, "I have found the person who abducted you from the hospital back then, but for the sake of them raising you, I have not held you responsible." ”

He said that the last thing, I had a hunch, so I was not particularly surprised.

"It's been so long, and I don't want to say anything. In an area where patriarchy is so severe, it's really good that they can get me through high school. If they had been a little more snobbish at that time, and after finishing primary school, they would have made excuses not to let me go to school, and my brother would have been left alone, and the family would have been more financially comfortable. Later, I was admitted to university, and my younger brother also went to high school, and the financial pressure on my family was really great. However, at least they didn't make me give up going to school and go out to work to earn my brother's tuition, they just said that they wouldn't provide for me. I am still grateful for this. As for what happened next, I don't want to say anything. In that environment, that's the norm. The value of the daughter's existence at home is to earn money or exchange money for her brothers. Their minds are terrible, but they are also ordinary. When your daughter grows up, she will be someone else's family, and she can't support you for nothing in the past 20 years, so the money earned from working belongs to the brothers, and the bride price from the mother-in-law's family belongs to the brothers. I looked at Luo Xiaotian and said lightly, "Actually, you also came out of the town when you were a child, and you should understand what I said." ”

He nodded: "You can have today, it's not that they have much to do with you, it's just the result of your own efforts." I know this very well, but I really can't do anything to them, for fear that you will be scolded as a white-eyed wolf. Now society seems to have progressed, but in fact there is no big difference from before. ”

After saying this, he said that the time was not early, let me rest early, and the time for him to return to Hong Kong was set for a week later, and asked me to think about those things carefully.

I don't want to think about these things. Because once you intervene, there will be infinite trouble, but Luo Xiaotian really asked me to be lonely or something before he died, can I really not care?

I'm not a virgin, I'm not a white lotus, I'm just an ordinary person. I don't deliberately forget the good of others, nor do I deliberately forget the bad of others. The relationship between Xiao Zi'er and Sheng Qingjin is something I can't handle well.

After thinking about it for most of the night, I had an idea in my heart, and I fell asleep without panicking.

Gu smiled at me, back to the point where he was even more than before. And I also felt weird, as if I had become very naïve overnight, and I really answered that sentence, and I laughed when I saw it. I can't help but laugh at this kind.

Because of the good mood, time flies exceptionally.

In the blink of an eye, it was time for Luo Xiaotian to return to Hong Kong, and Gu Yixiao and I specially found a good restaurant for him to practice.

After the meal, he looked at me and Gu Yi who were sitting next to him and smiled: "Now I really don't understand the thoughts of you young people. However, my daughter doesn't worry about getting married, and she doesn't hate to marry. If you want to be good, I don't have any opinion, if something happens again, even if Tao Ran can stand it, I can't stand it. ”

He said this to Gu Yixiao, and he also said it to me.

It's also a little sad to think about it, I've been married twice, and both times it didn't end well. Therefore, now that we are with Gu Yixiao, we all took the initiative to keep silent about marriage. To be honest, I was a little scared. However, if it is like this, doing nothing, I am a little unwilling in my heart.

Women, they are such contradictory animals.

"Uncle Luo, in fact, Tao Ran and I have realized it from now on, if you think about it, there is indeed a misunderstanding in the middle, but it is more of a big incident. If it weren't for those, we would have been together a long time ago. Gu Yi said with a smile.

Luo Xiaotian smiled: "We have experienced a lot together, so we must cherish it even more." I'll go first, and I'll be back when I'm done. ”

Gu Yixiao and I glanced at each other and sent him out.

After Luo Xiaotian left, my life in Beijing was still the same. It's just that it was calm for three days. On the fourth day, Si Jianlian suddenly appeared at my doorstep.

If I used to say that, I would have saved half face for him. Now, I see that he is no longer sad or happy, and he is like a passerby. Even hate, I'm too lazy to have it.

"You're here?" I opened the door and said to him, "why didn't you make a call in advance?"

He walked in and looked around, then sat down on the couch, looked at me and said, "I suddenly realized that the layout of the house hasn't changed at all since I left." ”

He had something to say, but I didn't want to give him this kind of misunderstanding, and said lightly: "The child is still young and can't do big decorations, what's wrong?"

He paused and said, "Tao Ran, then we're going back to Beijing." ”

"Oh, what does that have to do with me?" I asked.

He and Sheng Qingjin will go back to Beijing as soon as they want to, they really don't need to say hello to me, and I am not too emperor.

"I know that when you divorced Duan Jingchen, he once gave you a villa. We've moved the company back to Beijing, but after this toss-up, we're running out of cash. You see, the house you live in now is actually our joint property. At the time of the divorce, I didn't bother with you. Now, I want to get this house back. Si Jianlian said.

My eyes widened when I heard that.

Divorce is an old thing, how can there be a reason to come back and ask for a house after more than two years of divorce and almost three years.

"You are much better off than us now, you have a house, and you don't care about this house, for the sake of a few years of husband and wife, and for the sake of bean bags, return this house to me. Si Jianlian said again.

I really don't know where he got such a big face.

"Anyway, I'm the biological father of Doubao, and you can't watch me be reduced to renting a house. Without waiting for me to speak, Si Jianlian said again.

Actually, it wasn't that I didn't want to speak, but I didn't know how to speak, and what he said shocked me.

"I ......," I said one word, stuck again.

"If you really don't want to move, our family of three will live on the third floor, you and Doubao will live on the second floor, and the first floor is a public area. Si Jianlian said again.

I simply stopped talking, and looked at him with a smile until he finished speaking.

Sure enough, my easy-going expression gave Si Jianlian a lot of encouragement, and he continued: "Besides, no matter what, Doubao and Doudan are also brothers, and if they live together, he can still play with his younger brother." ”

Only then did I know that Sheng Qingjin gave birth to another son to Si Jianlian.

However, this pregnancy to give birth to a child is too fast.

"As for the problem that Qingjin doesn't want to live with you, I'll solve it. Si Jianlian said again.

He finished his sentence and made the decision for me. I don't know when I ever misunderstood him and made him think that I was someone who could live with someone else.

Hearing this, I finally couldn't help it at all, and sneered at Si Jianlian: "Do you think I will agree to your proposal, and I am willing to live with Sheng Qingjin?"

He was surprised by my reaction and asked, "Why not?"

His natural tone made me lose the interest in communicating with him again, and immediately said resolutely: "Si Jianlian, now there is only one relationship between me and you, you are the biological father of Doubao blood." Other than that, we don't have anything to do with it. Also, this house belonged to me when I divorced, and now it's too late for you to say anything, I won't let you live in it first, and I won't live with Sheng Qingjin in the second. ”

Si Jianlian looked at me dumbfounded: "Tao Ran, after so many years, don't you have a little husband and wife affection for me?"

"There used to be, but then you polished it out. I said.

Si Jianlian's face was full of disappointment, and he simply stopped pretending, he said directly: "Tao Ran, when you divorced, you took more than half of the things, but I didn't care about you when I remembered the old relationship between husband and wife, and now I am really in financial difficulty, otherwise I wouldn't have bothered with you about this villa." No matter what you say, I'm going to settle on this house. ”

"Then I'll make it clear, I really won't give you this house. I said.

He sneered twice and said: "It turns out that I saw that the decoration of the house has not changed, and I thought that you were thinking about the old love, but now that I look at it, I am blind." ”

I pulled open the door and said to him, "Get out." ”

At this time, a taxi stopped at the door of the house, and Aunt Wang came down with a bean bag. I glanced at the time, and Doubao was out of school.

"Dad. Doubao stood in place and called Si Jianlian.

He used to run over when he saw Si Jianlian, but now he obviously has a lot of points. If it was before, I would have advised him to be closer to his father, but now I don't have the heart to do so.

"Bean buns. Si Jianlian called him.

In this way, Doubao slowly walked over, handed the schoolbag to me, and took my hand to look at Si Jianlian: "Dad, are you here for a business trip to Beijing?"

"No, I came to see you. Si Jianlian said.

I sneered, thinking that he didn't even have a draft when he lied.

Since the divorce, I suddenly found that Si Jianlian has changed. He wasn't like that before, and if he was like that, I wouldn't have been with him, and I wasn't blind. However, if he can manage his ex-wife and ask for a house after the divorce, how shameless will he be.

"Really, how many days is Dad going to live in Beijing?" asked Doubao.

Si Jianlian picked up the bean bag and asked, "How about Dad living in Beijing in the future?" Or rather, Dad and you live together?"

Doubao looked at me with a puzzled expression.

I didn't want the child to have any misunderstanding, so I immediately said sharply: "In front of the child, don't talk nonsense." Also, I need to talk to you about it. ”

He put the bean bag on the ground and said, "Go in and wait." ”

He and I went outside on the lawn.

At this time, it was already twilight, and the courtyard was not well lit, dim and dark.

"Si Jianlian, no matter what you say now, you are a father of two children, can you be a little shameful, and then be a good person and set a good example for the children. How about you and Sheng Qingjin, I don't care and I'm not interested. However, can you pay attention to your bean bag? I'm not afraid that the bean bag will learn from you, but I'm afraid that the children will look down on you. Think about how sad it is for a child to look down on his father. I spoke earnestly, in a very serious tone, with the utmost patience.

"Tao Ran, I just asked you for a house, and you said I was shameless. What about you? It's been less than three years since we divorced, how many men have you changed?" Si Jianlian said.

His words almost made me vomit blood.

"Si Jianlian, why are you so shameless?" I asked.

He looked at me and said, "You talk about me first, at least I haven't changed women, and there have been no other women except Sheng Qingjin in the past few years." Compared to you, I'm really more traditional. You can agree to the house, or not. I'm sure I'm going to come back, but I can't, so I'll go back to the courthouse. I am not satisfied with the verdict of that year. ”

"You've been so brainy, it's long past the appeal period. "I looked at him and hated that iron could not be made of steel.

"Think about it again, I'll go see the bean buns and then go back to the hotel. After Si Jianlian finished speaking, he stepped up the steps, pushed open the door and walked in.

I looked at his back and really wanted to kick him to death.

Suddenly, I noticed that he was now more and more like Sheng Qingjin. The front of the person is particularly glamorous, and for the sake of this glamour, he can do anything.

But since he came to me about it, I can't ignore him anymore, at least to know what has happened to him lately.

So, I gradually calmed down, then thought for a while, and went in to watch Si Jianlian accompany the child.

He didn't say anything about living with Doubao, played with him for a while, and after dinner, he left. Watching him walk out the door, I breathed a sigh of relief.

When Doubao fell asleep, I turned on the computer and began to check the situation of his company.

Anyway, I still have shares in him, and I have to care about it, and if the performance is not good, I will sell the equity now and then cash out.

I really don't know if I don't check, and I'm shocked when I check it.

The five new cars developed by Yiran Technology will go on sale next month, and they have already passed the stage of testing real cars on the road, and the pricing is expected to come out. The performance is comparable to Tesla, and the price is only about 400,000.

During this period of time, I patronized and talked with Gu Yixiao, and I didn't pay attention to the changes in the market. Thinking of this, I broke out in a cold sweat.

As soon as a woman falls in love, her IQ becomes negative.

I watched the news of the automobile industry until almost two o'clock in the evening, and finally found that Gu Yixiao came back this time, and it was really like the return of the king. All of his business activities have been attacked in a stormy manner, and those competitors who ignore Yiran Technology have lost particularly badly.

When Gu Yixiao had an accident, everyone thought that Yiran Technology would definitely die. However, no one expected him to come back, and as soon as he came back, he made all kinds of big moves.

I know that these are just looking easy, and I don't know how much unknown hardship has been put into it. It's just that Gu Yixiao never said this in front of me.

However, when I closed the computer, I was relieved.

Gu Yixiao was born to do business, and in just a few months, he made up for the more than half a year that Yiran Technology had been delayed, and it was even better than before.

I wanted to call him again, but I couldn't help it when I looked at the time.

Having said that, now that Yiran Technology has come to this point, it is good that Si Jianlian's company has not closed. His car costs a lot, I know that. Everything is the best that is available now, but the best may not be the best. Si Jianlian has two cars that have not rolled off the assembly line, and the cost is twice the price of Gu Yixiao. How to fight the market with him?

The fact that he was able to come and ask me for this house shows that he is indeed poor to a certain extent.

I thought all night about whether I should give him the house to live in. If he does, will he get an inch, and if he doesn't, will he bother me every day?

Si Jianlian used to be a very face-loving person, how did he become like this now?

Finally, when I fell asleep, I had this little bit of things in my dreams.

The next day, I looked at the panda eyes, and even the bean bag could see that I hadn't slept well, and on the way to school, I whispered, "Mom, are you not sleeping well because you are angry with your father?"

"Not really. I looked at the road in front of me and asked calmly, "Doubao, if Dad doesn't have a house to live in, do you want to give them the house?"

He sighed and said, "Why doesn't Dad have a house to live in?"

That stopped me. If Si Jianlian does business well, even if the company is in a recession, he won't even be able to afford a house, the key is that he treats Sheng Qingjin as a queen. I don't have much spare money in my hand at all, but I meet any of her requirements, otherwise I wouldn't have ended up like this.

"He ran out of money. I said.

In recent months, I haven't asked to know where his money has gone. Shenzhen is so close to Hong Kong, and there are many luxury auctions, Sheng Qingjin goes to Hong Kong once a weekend, and even participates in an auction every half a month. However, it is useless for me to say this, as long as Si Jianlian is willing.

Now, the work has not been done for a long time, and the money is gone.

"Is Mommy rich?" asked me.

"Yes. I said simply.

"Does Mommy have enough money to buy a new house?" asked Doubao again.

"Enough. I said.

He thought for a while and said, "Then give our house to Dad, and return it when he has money." ”

I smiled.

He was able to say that, as I expected.

"Okay, Mom knows how to do it. I glanced at him.

At this time, I happened to be at the school gate, I parked the car, picked him up from the car and said, "Go play, you don't have to worry about Dad's business, I will help him." However, after school today, your mom has something she wants to talk to you about how to help others. ”

"Hmm. After hearing my agreement, Doubao nodded vigorously and ran in.

I pinched my eyebrows, and I really think that women must be cautious when they get married, and even more cautious when they have children. Because after having a child, even if the relationship is broken, it is impossible to retreat to the distance of passers-by.

At noon, when I was about to call Gu Yixiao, he pushed open the door of my office with a takeaway box.

"What's coming?" I asked, "and don't make a phone call?"

He walked up to me, opened the lunch boxes one by one and put them on the table and said, "Passing by a store, I saw a lot of people in line, and then I searched the Internet and it was all praise, especially his pig's trotters, everyone ordered it." At noon, it was too late to queue up for food, so I packed it and brought it to you. ”

Speaking of this, he immediately saw that there was something wrong with my state, reached out and gently touched the corner of my eye and asked, "What's wrong?"

Before I could answer him, he came over with a smile and asked, "Are you thinking about me?"

"Isn't it, disappointed?" I finished asking, sighed, and said, "Si Jianlian came to me." ”

"He's looking for you again?" Gu Yi asked.

I nodded.

He suddenly said with a suddenly realized expression: "I know, his company is in a recession, and now it is expected that the car will be launched three months later than ours, and the market opportunity cannot be taken, and the price advantage cannot be taken." This company, by now, can even be determined to be bankrupt. Also, he has such a wife who likes to show off in the circle of the upper-class rich, and the money is not enough?"

I smiled bitterly and said, "You are Zhuge Liang, you can pinch and calculate." ”

He laughed, "That's what it's clear about." ”

"Do you say that Si Jianlian's face is flooded now? How can you ask me to return the house to him? Aren't men very face-loving? Why doesn't he want any face in front of me?" I asked him very puzzled.

Gu Yi smiled disdainfully and said, "It depends on what kind of woman he is with." Sheng Qingjin really regards herself as Mrs. Kuo now, except for occasionally taking children, she often goes out to participate in those rich salons, and in order to support the façade, hundreds of millions of jewelry dare to shoot. To be honest, when I used to have an entire A consortium under my command, I had to think about spending millions of personal expenses. Sheng Qingjin is good, and he doesn't blink his eyes. In this way, even if the company has been profitable, the money will be enough. ”

Gu Yixiao said very truthfully, and I couldn't help but think about it again.

"Don't think about him, eat first, I'll talk about the house later, and it won't taste good after a while." Gu Yixiao handed the broken chopsticks to me.

I took it and smiled at him.

Because of Gu Yixiao in front of me, my appetite is a little better, after lunch, he took the initiative to clean up the table, although a little clumsy, but I look at it and feel very good, my heart is warm.

Gu Yixiao was the first man to take the initiative to help me with housework.

Si Jianlian will not do these things.

"What do you think?" he asked, throwing away the garbage and walking back to me.

"The house will be given to him, but he will also use this as an excuse to write something to ensure that he will not come to harass me again in the future. Also, I want to sell those shares in his company. I said.

Gu Yixiao thought for a while and said, "I can take the shares, but can I think about the house again?"

"I know it's not appropriate to give it to him, but I can't make Doubao feel that his dad is very pitiful. You can think of what to do for me, but be sure to put the bean bag in it. I said.

Gu Yi smiled and nodded, "That's good." ”

"Will you lose money if you take my shares?" I asked.

"No, I have other arrangements for that. Gu Yi smiled and looked confident.
