Chapter 120: Start Again

I walked over with the bean bun and said hello to the other party's parents.

The children all knew each other, and two children also waved to Doubao and said, "Doubao, you are here too, why is it so late?"

"I'm Doubao's mother, I just happened to bring him over for dinner today, and I saw you guys playing together, and he wanted to join, is that okay?" I said with a smile on my face.

"Yes. A delicate-looking little girl nodded.

"Bean bag, go over. I patted him lightly on the shoulder.

"No, we don't welcome kids without a father. A little boy said overbearingly.

As soon as Doubao took a step, he immediately stopped when he heard this voice, and his big eyes were full of tears.

"Asaki, how do you speak!" said the parent who was sitting next to him, stopping the little boy.

I raised my hand to him and said, "It's not the child's problem, it's that we didn't make it clear to everyone." ”

The parent of the child named Chaoxi said with a sneering face: "I'm sorry, I really didn't expect him to say that." ”

I smiled slightly, walked over to the boy and crouched down, and said to him, "You're a kid of Chaoxi, right?" I am the mother of Doubao, Doubao has a father, and I can't say that Doubao has no father in the future. ”

The boy nodded plausibly when he saw my serious and solemn appearance.

"Now, can Bean Bao play with you?" I asked.

"Yes, yes. Asaki said.

Obviously, he is the leader of this group of children, and he is still very powerful in speaking. When he was done with me, he turned to the bean bag and said, "You can play with us later." ”

In fact, the child's world is very simple, what do you say he believes, I don't know who came out of the topic of bean bags without a father, but from today onwards, I will correct it. I can't let my child be like a transparent person in a group life.

The children are playing, the parents are mostly familiar with each other, chatting with each other, I have rarely participated in such activities, and not many people know me.

I sat alone, still a little out of place.

After a while, Chaoxi's mother spoke to me and asked cautiously, "Doubao mother, I see that you are a little familiar, as if I have seen you in the newspaper, are you the CEO of KB?"

I didn't need to be low-key at this time, I smiled lightly and said very casually: "I used to be, then I took care of my children full-time, and then I went back for various reasons." ”

"Oh, I said. She said.

As soon as my identity was confirmed, the atmosphere changed immediately. The world of adults is more complex than that of children, but it is also straightforward. I am a successful person in society, and I have seen too many such eyes. In the past, I always felt that I had to keep a low profile in school and let Doubao live like an ordinary child. Now, the experience of the past few months has made me see a lot of things clearly, he was originally my child, I was originally the boss of KB, why should I hide it. If I could reveal my identity early on, Doubao would not be marginalized by the children.

I'm no longer secretive, I've become generous.

I can handle such a complicated situation in business, not to mention the parents of several children and classmates. Of course, being able to go to school in this kindergarten is not an ordinary person, but in this society, a lot of money can always make people look at it one or two more.

This night, the bean bag was very happy.

On the way home, he looked at me with sparkling eyes and asked, "Mom, can I still play with the children in the future?"

"Yes, and I've already thought about it, let's have a small party at home this weekend, let's make some beautiful invitations these days, and you can invite your favorite classmates to come over. I said.

He almost jumped up with joy, and the safety seat could barely hold him down.

After experiencing this, I have become more and more comfortable with my status and money.

I focused on my children and didn't take the change of ownership of the company so seriously. I knew that in which I was just pretending to be a Buddha, I needed a proper moment to erupt.

However, now that the time has not come, I will continue to pretend to be a Buddha.

Every day, I personally sent the bean bags to school, personally picked up the bean bags from school, and found a day when he went to the Providence Wholesale Market early after school to buy a bunch of beautiful cards, and after reading the story with him in the evening, we made invitations together. He was in charge of designing the formatting and I was in charge of writing.

By Wednesday, we had sixteen invitations ready.

Before Doubao brought the invitation to the school, he was afraid that his classmates would not come. I cheered him up and told him that as long as he was brave enough to send it out, someone would definitely come. He still hesitated for a long time, and I showed the best patience and told him over and over again.

After a long day of encouragement, the bean bag had the courage to take the first step.

I invited their classmates to come to our house, and the address and the name of the inviter were clearly written. I believe that children will ask their parents for advice after receiving the invitation, and as long as the parents see the invitation, it is very likely that they will come.

I put all my mind into the weekend party of Beanbao, and I felt in a good mood, and even felt like I was starting over.

I set the start time of the small party until 3:30 in the afternoon, and the content is arranged to include games, barbecue, buffet and so on, and the last small draw, which is estimated to be very attractive to children. The decoration of the house was also made by me with the bean bag, with lantern ribbons, balloon flowers and so on.

Everything was arranged in order, and I actually had a rare sense of accomplishment.

Unexpectedly, my good mood ended early on Thursday morning.

In the morning, as usual, I delivered the bean buns first and then went to the office. Who knew that as soon as the car turned, I didn't look at it and hit the butt of the car in front.

When I saw the license plate number, I kind of wanted to hit it again, this time to death.

Gu Yixiao walked out of the car, looked at me seriously through the front windshield, and turned a few steps to knock on my door.

I rolled down the window impatiently: "Go to the risk, I admit that I am fully responsible." ”

"Your current state is not suitable for driving, either find a driver, or I will be your driver. Gu Yi said with a smile.

I took off my sunglasses and looked at him and said with a smile: "Gu Yixiao, now that the dust has settled, I have no use for you, why bother to behave in front of me." Now, there are so many women around you, and they all treat you like an emperor, don't come to me to pick up a cold face. ”

My tone was calm, no joy, no anger, no sorrow, no emotion.

"Come down. He said, his voice was low, but it was deep.

"On what basis did you order me?" I asked.

"Fix my car with me. Gu Yi smiled and said, "My car was damaged by you." ”

I knew he was deliberately looking for a reason to be alone with me, but I didn't have the heart to do so. A woman like me is heartless when she says it well, and ruthless and unrighteous when she says it badly. No matter what it is, as long as I want to let it go, I can let it go.

I quickly unbuckled my seat belt, took out the car keys, got out of the car, took two steps back and kept a distance from Gu Yixiao, then threw the car keys into his hand and said, "You use it first, and then return it to me when the car is repaired, as for how much it cost, just give the ticket to my assistant." ”

After saying that, I left without looking back.

Did Gu Yixiao chase me, or did he keep staring at me until I turned the corner...... I don't care about any of that.

I walked to the side of the road and stopped the car to go to the company.

Sitting in the taxi, my mood suddenly became bad, and there was an anger in my chest that I couldn't vent, I wanted to yell, I wanted to throw things, I wanted to lose my temper......

And just like that, I thought all the way.

When I got off the bus at the door of the company, I took a deep breath to suppress the anger, and then walked calmly and rationally to the elevator.

I set up a special handover team to communicate with Gu's people about work, but I was idle. After all these years of being in the company, this is the biggest thing I've ever experienced, but it's also the most relaxing.

Bad mood is like a seed, suddenly planted in my heart.

I wanted to go to Di Bar at night and scream desperately, but I couldn't, because I still needed to pick up the bean bags, and the decoration in the living room was not finished yet.

Adults are so sad and helpless, and many things are thought about and done.

I called Si Jianlian and whispered that I hoped he could come over on Saturday, because this was the first time Doubao had invited a classmate to come to his house to play, and he didn't hesitate and agreed immediately.

On Friday, we officially made the handover, and the ceremony was grand and grand.

Of course, this is for Gu's sake. For me, the more grand and grand the handover ceremony today, the more it shows how failed I am.

But at this time, I can't help but hold on to my face.

I didn't laugh the whole time, and there was an indescribable silence in front of the reporters' cameras. It's come to this, you don't have to act. I didn't play any tricks for Gu's family, and completed all the handovers in a disciplined and serious manner. In the eyes of others, I was a little spineless, and I was so easy to let it out? Some people even began to talk about me, saying that I was a woman after all, and I didn't know how much effort it took to open a company, so I gave it to others......

I heard too many such words, and I became immune.

Whoever has the same problem as me, I'm sure no one will do it better than me under the same conditions. Of course, that kind of background and amazing family wealth can ignore this sentence.

After the ceremony, I picked up my things and left.

However, walking quietly like this gave me the feeling of wanting to escape. I walked a few steps, and suddenly stopped, and glanced back at the Gu people who were still talking on the stage.

Today, Gu Yixiao didn't come, Gu Tianbao didn't come, it was Gu Ling and a few people I didn't know.

Gu Ling noticed my gaze and immediately looked over.

I smiled at him, whispered goodbye, and turned away.

"Wait a minute, Tao Ran. "When I was about to get on the elevator, Gu Ling chased after me.

"What's the matter?" I asked.

"No, I want to ask if you're going to the evening party?" he asked.

"It's not appropriate for me to go to your celebration banquet. I waved at him.

He smiled awkwardly and said, "I know I shouldn't ask you this, but I have to give it a try." ”

"Understood, the power is a big one. I patted him on the shoulder and said, "Gu Ling, KB is really handed over to you, don't let it be yellow." ”

After saying that, the elevator came, and I didn't look back and strode in.

It wasn't until the elevator door closed that I dared to turn my head to face outside.

In the mirror, I couldn't hold back in the end, and tears flowed down my face.

The last sentence I said to Gu Ling, I also know that it is also in vain. Gu's merger company has a very good set, and it is very likely that it will not be long before KB will be changed beyond recognition. But I couldn't help but say it.

When I got downstairs, the lights were on.

The landscape lights of the building are turned on, and when you look up from downstairs, the building is like a beautiful vase, shining with light and shine.

From one office in the early days of the company's establishment, to three rooms later, to one floor, to listing, to having the money to buy their own land and build their own building...... What happened in the middle, only Si Jianbian and I know.

Now, my KB has changed hands!

I kept looking up, looking at the building, looking at the floor where my office was located, tears were flowing backwards into my eyes, my nose and mouth were bitter, my eyes were painful.

At this time, God didn't cooperate, and I didn't know that it was raining to create an atmosphere.

I stood there for a long time before finally choosing to leave.

Tomorrow there is the first class reunion of bean bags, and I still have to cheer up the spirit of 12 points, and I can't let any small mistakes go wrong in the middle.

I'm the mom of bean bags, and I have to organize tomorrow's party perfectly.

I can't ignore my children because of the company.

I have to go now, and the bean bag is waiting for me at home.

I'm no longer the president of KB, what are I doing here.

I'm the mom of the bean bag and I have to go back and help him prepare for tomorrow.

……

Over and over again, I'm mentally building myself.

But it didn't work.

I don't know how many times I said these words in my heart, and finally my willpower collapsed and I burst into tears. But even so, I don't want to be seen.

I held back my tears, endured my voice, lowered my head, walked quickly to the side of the road, raised my hand to stop a car, opened the door and plunged straight in.

I told the driver the address of my home and immediately leaned back in the seat to pour my breath. For a moment, my chest was so tight that I couldn't breathe.

The driver didn't say anything, just drove away.

I like this kind of driver who doesn't talk much.

I leaned back in the back seat and let the tears flow, wetting my clothes, into my neck, and blurring my vision.

Finally, I saw the faint street scene outside, and immediately suppressed this indescribable emotion. I thought to myself, I would see the bean bag in ten minutes, and I couldn't let him see me crying.

"Master, do you have tissues?" I asked, in a suppressed voice.

I received the tissue, and suddenly recognized the hand in front of me, which was Si Jianlian's hand, and he was still wearing the watch I bought for him on his chest.

"It's you. I said slowly.

"I don't worry about you, I've been waiting at the door of the company. He didn't look back and continued to explain, "I was going to talk as soon as you got in the car, but I was too sad to say it when I saw you, and I wanted you to vent it." ”

"I'm all right. I said.

He glanced back at me, shook his head and said, "You're not good at all, go back today and rest first, don't think about anything, isn't it just a company, we can start again." ”

"Where is it so easy?" I sighed softly.

"It's not necessarily easy, how can you know if you don't try?" he asked.

I stopped talking, he had something to say, and I couldn't answer him. Si Jian didn't even see that he was silent, and he didn't force me to ask, because he had already arrived home. I cleaned myself up before I got out of the car, at least so that the bean bag couldn't see that I was crying.

Doubao saw me and Si Jianlian enter the door together, and called out to my mother and pounced.

"Tomorrow Dad is going to accompany Mom to entertain your classmates, so we're coming back together, have you had dinner?" I asked at the same time, pointing out the reason why I came back with Si Jianlian, I don't want Doubao to misunderstand.

Si Jianlian and I can't get back together, so I don't want to give Doubao a vague hope.

"I've eaten it, but my mother has not eaten it. He asked, looking me in the eye. Before I could answer, his voice lowered, "Mom is crying." ”

"Mom didn't cry. I said.

"It's just crying, and I smell tears in my mother. Doubao whispered seriously.

I calmed down so easily, and I almost didn't hold back.

Si Jianlian immediately lost control when he saw me, walked over to pick up the bean bag and said, "Dad brought you snacks, let's go to the car and get them back." ”

"Mom's ......"

"Mom is fine, let her wash her face, get some sleep, and everything will be fine tomorrow. Si Jianlian dispelled the concerns of the bean bag.

"Are the snacks for the students?" Doubao's attention returned to the snacks.

"yes, many, many. Si Jianlian said.

I breathed a sigh of relief, I didn't dare to think anything about my confidant, I immediately went into the bathroom to clean my face, and simply touched up the base makeup, and I couldn't see the crying marks, so I walked out.

The trivial matters at home made me slowly calm down, and I didn't stop doing things one night.

The bean bag finally fell asleep and I stopped.

Si Jianlian slowly walked in front of me, we looked at each other, there were many things in our eyes, no one opened their mouths for a while, and the air froze.

"Si Jianlian, I suddenly want to drink. I said.

Without saying a word, he turned to get the wine.

The things in the house were still in their former locations, and he could easily find them. He brought the wine and the glass together, and we sat down on the sofa in the casual living room and touched the glass.

The living room is decorated like a fairy tale, with colorful balloons floating on the ceiling with ribbons hanging from them, colorful lights hanging on the walls, and shiny decorative words on the walls.

In this pink atmosphere, he and I were not at ease at all. None of us spoke, and we touched one cup after another.

The two bottles of red wine bottomed out almost instantly.

When he saw that he was out of wine, he got up again and went to get it.

At this time, I looked at the clock on the wall very sensibly and said, "It's not too early, it's time to rest." You go to the guest room, which has been kept very clean. ”

Si Jianlian stopped when he heard my words, glanced back at me, and suddenly strode over, and before I could react, he took me into his arms and said in an almost whispered voice in my ear: "Tao Ran, let's start again." ”

I didn't move because I drank too much and didn't have the energy. After being hugged by him for a while, my strength recovered a little, I pushed him away and said, "Si Jianlian, don't drink if you can't drink it, if you drink too much, it's boring to talk drunk." ”

Actually, both he and I knew that the other party was not drunk.

He let go of his hand and said with a wry smile: "All the mistakes are my fault, if it weren't for me, our family would be complete, and the company would still be our own." It turns out that hurting feelings is really hurting. ”

"It's over, don't talk about it. I shook my head to myself and said, "Actually, I should be content, I still have KB 20 shares in my hand now, and the annual dividend is a huge amount, if I don't do anything, eat and wait for death, three years of money will be enough for my life to spend." Si Jianlian, I don't want to be strong now, and I don't want to be independent anymore, so it's also a good choice to lie on the results of the struggle in the first half of my life and wait for death, right. ”

Finally, those two words are asking myself.

I didn't wait for Si Jianlian's answer and went upstairs to sleep.

This night, there was no dream, and it was very stable.

The next day, Doubao's class reunion was perfect, classmates and classmates' parents were very satisfied, everyone often saw Si Jianlian in the media, but they didn't expect Doubao to be his son. As a result, parents' attitudes towards bean bags have changed dramatically.

I thought to myself, if I knew this was the case, why did I go to such great lengths to hide it in the first place.

My life has come to this point, and it really has gone to zero. My parents were not biological, the family was not complete, and the company was acquired......

Everything, cleared.

I wanted to be decadent for a few months, but I couldn't because I had children.

After delivering the bean bags to school on Monday, I went straight to the company, and as I strode towards the company elevator, I suddenly realized that this was no longer my company.

I stood in the hall embarrassed to death, turned around and walked outside.

In a hurry, I bumped headfirst into someone's arms and had a sore nose. Looking up, I saw Gu Yixiao, and then I rolled my eyes and saw Gu Ling beside him.

"Is your car fixed?" I asked faintly, taking a step back.

"Not yet, I'll return your car in a few days. Gu Yi said with a smile.

I answered, wanting to bypass him and walk out, Gu Ling suddenly said at this time: "Mr. Tao, Yixiao is here to take over KB, and the shares in my name also belong to him." ”

I was pinned to the spot at once, and looked up at Gu Yixiao.

I don't know if I'm going to want to hear what he has to say at this point. Everything is under his control, and now that he is KB's largest shareholder and the most powerful person in KB, what does he want to do?

"Gu Yixiao, I want to talk to you alone for five minutes, is it okay?" I asked.

He looked at me and smiled, and without hesitation, he said, "Yes, but in half an hour, I have an important meeting to start." ”

"Okay, I'll wait for you. I met his eyes and said lightly.

Since I have set the present as my own restart, there are some things between me and Gu Yixiao that need to be clarified. I'm not here for anything other than to say goodbye to my past self. At such an important moment in life, there must be some sense of ritual.
