Chapter 222: A Child Can't Live Without a Father

Dong Mei's text messages did not come back, and no phone calls came. I looked at my phone and waited for a long time, and finally I felt ridiculous, and even regretted sending such a text message.

I slipped my phone back into my bag and picked up a few random books and went to the cash register, not wanting to waste any more time here.

The tutor's time is set in the morning, and when the winter vacation is over, it will be changed to evening. I had no objection to this, and in order to better prepare for the first class tomorrow, I ate dinner and went into the small bedroom. My mother took Gu Xiao to play in the living room and was absolutely supportive of my work.

Because it is not a classroom class, there is no courseware preparation, and everything has to be formulated according to the student's own ability, so I decided to test the student's English level in the first class, if it is too poor, even if I prepare a surprise plan, I will not be able to implement it.

I was hand-drawing the test form with my forehand, and the mobile phone on the table rang, and I picked it up and looked at it, and I was stunned.

It's Dong Mei.

I hesitated and didn't know whether to answer it, but the phone ringtone stopped abruptly, and I didn't know whether it was loss or happiness, so I only let out a sigh of relief and put the phone aside, but the heart lake was disturbed.

I calmed down, got back to work, and quickly got the test form done, which made me breathe a sigh of relief and no longer be so nervous about tomorrow's events. I packed the form and put it in my bag, caught a glimpse of the mobile phone on the table, thought about it, and gritted my teeth to call Dong Mei back.

This time it was quickly picked up, and Dong Mei's voice was very small, and it became clear after a while.

"Gu Wan, the child is asleep, I'll go to the living room and tell you!"

I looked up at the clock on the wall, and then realized that it was already nine o'clock in the evening, I was a little embarrassed, and quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, I didn't know you were resting, so I won't bother!"

"Hey, Gu Wan, you can hang up later!" Dong Mei hurriedly stopped my actions, sighed and said, "Tell me why you are so awkward, since you haven't forgotten Pei Shaobei, can't you be brave?"

"Who, who hasn't forgotten him, Dong Mei, don't talk nonsense!" Through the phone, I couldn't see Dong Mei's face, my disguise was no longer there, and my face immediately burned.

"Am I talking nonsense, don't you know? This kind of thing can deceive others and deceive themselves?" Dong Mei hated iron and steel, and I couldn't help but retort, "Hey, why did you become so verbose after becoming a mother, do you say that you don't say it, don't say that I'm hanging!"

Dong Mei sighed and said, "Okay, okay, I said it's not okay?Gu Wan, you are the most awkward person I have ever seen." Forget it, whoever makes us old classmates, whoever asks me to rush to slap you up. ”

"So much nonsense!" I muttered uncomfortably, but did not interrupt Dong Mei again.

The matter is actually very simple, Dong Mei finished it in three or two sentences.

Indeed, as I imagined, Pei Shaobei was decadent for a while because of my departure, and it was during this time that Yuan Shao seized the opportunity to overturn the case for Xiao Chen in one fell swoop.

The facts are in front of me, but I feel so unreal.

I didn't get the information I wanted, why was Dong Mei indifferent to me threatening Pei Shaobei at the beginning, but it was my departure that made him lose the case? The information provided by Dong Mei could not explain this, and I couldn't figure it out myself.

My silence made Dong Mei think that I was remorseful, and opened her mouth to persuade, "Gu Wan, don't you make any more awkward trouble, okay?" Pei Shaobei has already expressed that he likes you very much if the second generation of my rich can do this for you. If you had ......

Dong Mei paused, took a deep breath, and said, "Forget it, don't mention it." Anyway, you know my affairs, I just hope you can cherish it, take 10,000 steps back and say, you are not for yourself, you should also be for the children. Now children who grow up in single-parent families will have more or less shadows in their hearts. Isn't a woman's life just for a family, for her children? I didn't understand these things before, but after becoming a mother, I realized that I really couldn't even want my life for my children. Gu Wan, listen to my advice, go to Pei Shaobei, it's not too late. ”

I didn't answer Dong Mei's words, not because I didn't want to, but because I didn't know how to answer.

She's right, children need fathers, and do I need a man?

I can't be sure, many of Pei Shaobei's appearances flashed in my mind, calm, sarcastic, sad, and indifferent, but I can't think of what Pei Shaobei was like when he was decadent, the Pei Shaobei trapped in Dong Mei's mouth is too far away and too strange from me, in the end, I still don't believe it.

I thanked Dong Mei and found a reason to hang up the phone, and Dong Mei's sigh could still be heard on the other end of the phone, which made my heart more and more panicked.

Why do I feel that I have become the person who owes it, obviously I didn't, and I obviously left with a despair that hurts to the bone marrow.

My mother knocked on my door outside, and I packed up my emotions and opened the door to go out, "What's wrong?"

"Well, sleep, are you okay tonight?" my mother looked at me with a worried expression.

I shook my head, paused and nodded.

My mother pulled me to the couch and sat down, "What's wrong?

"No!" I thought about it and looked up at her, because of my father's death, my mother was much older, and her hair was a lot grayer, if it wasn't for me and Gu Xiao by my side, making her a little less lonely, I really don't know what she would become.

"Mom, do you miss Daddy?" I asked, choking up.

The mother was stunned, but her eyes turned red all of a sudden.

She turned her face away, raised her hand and wiped it, "Everyone is gone, what are you doing asking this!"

"I'm sorry Mom, I'm struggling. I don't know what to do, I know something today, it turns out that when I left, Pei Shaobei was really decadent for me. I don't know if I should trust him, whether I should go to him, I don't even know if my feelings for him are the same as before, I, I'm afraid!"

I reached out and hugged my mother, feeling uncomfortably tight.

The mother sighed and said, "Silly child, no matter what decision you make, your mother will support you, your mother is old and can't experience the kind of love and love that you young people have, but my mother knows that a woman can't live without a home." This life is too long and too hard, if you live alone, even if your mother goes to find your father, she won't be able to close her eyes!"

I couldn't hold back any longer, and the tears fell silently, and I didn't dare to cry out loud, for fear that my mother would become sad because of such grief.

"Shaobei's kid is not bad-hearted, otherwise, he wouldn't have just looked at Xiaoxiao from afar for so long, if it was that kind of domineering and willful child, he would have come to the house a long time ago. Mother sighed, rubbing her hand on my back to comfort me, "Wanwan, I don't know if you and Shaobei can go on, Mom can't care so much, Mom just hopes that you can live happily, and you hope that Xiaoxiao will grow up healthy and happy! Every mother has only this one wish, so don't put so much pressure on yourself, fate has arrived, just let it be!"

When I was very young, I hated the control of my parents and felt that I always had to listen to their arrangements in my life. Later, when I grew up and became independent, I was more tired of my parents' nagging, and I always thought that my own opinions were much more transparent than theirs, and even disdained such so-called care.

However, in this life, it is as if people are walking in a big circle. The truths that you once disdained and hated have become clear and clear in your heart again after the baptism of life, and with a heavy life experience that cannot be denied, you gradually discover how naïve and stupid you used to be.

Let it be, this is a path that the living are willing to follow after many sufferings come. Because time is the best healing agent, it will turn the pain and hesitation of the past into plain and determined.

My life has not changed because of Dong Mei's phone call. My heart that was struggling with the so-called facts also dissipated as the counseling program unfolded.

Pei Shaobei still appears in front of me from time to time, but he has never set foot in my door. Occasionally I looked at Gu Xiao playing at the gate of the community, occasionally blocked me, and forced me to have an embarrassing meal with him. In fact, I have wanted to ask him many times, why didn't he look for me when I left, I don't believe that with his ability, he can't find any clues about me?

In fact, those so-called facts, the so-called decadence are all a kind of appearance, and what I care more about is not the frustration and grief he suffered because of me after I left, but what he did to reunite.

Or, he didn't even think about looking for it, a kind of resoluteness that gave up and gave up, Pei Shaobei did it. And the entanglement again, just because of my initiative, he was unwilling to recover from the silence, and what he wanted was probably just a complete humiliation of me.

This is confirmed by the fact that he never wanted to meet my mother and never wanted to admit Gu Xiao's existence in front of outsiders. Pei Shaobei and I are very much like divorced couples, for the sake of our children, we occasionally meet, occasionally quarrel, and more often ignore each other.

Pei Shaobei's lace news is still a lot, and I'm surprised that no one has reported on me. I don't believe that Pei Shaobei and I have met so many times, and none of them have been photographed. Once I teased Pei Shaobei about this, but he glanced at me from beginning to end with extremely disgusted eyes, and said, "With your current image, others will not suspect that we have that kind of relationship even if they see it!"

Because of this sentence, I lost my temper with Pei Shaobei for a week, hid when I saw him, and didn't even allow him to go to see Gu Xiao, as long as he appeared in the community, I immediately took Gu Xiao upstairs.
