Whether you wait deliberately or not, a few days will always pass quickly.

Ruan Wan didn't deliberately choose the location - to be honest, she felt that there was no point in doing such a thing, so she gave the choice to Du Jinnian. She refused to be picked up by him, and chose to go to the small café they frequented alone.

She pushed the door open, and the bell hanging from the door suddenly made a crisp sound.

"Welcome. The young proprietress who turned back to meet the voice showed a gentle smile after seeing Ruan Wan, "Your boyfriend is already sitting in the old place." "People who can keep a store open and stick to it for a while usually have a good memory, not to mention that Ruan Wan is both conspicuous and a regular customer.

Others greeted each other with smiles, and Ruan Wan naturally couldn't be indifferent, so she also smiled and nodded.

As she walked along the empty seats, she noticed that he was sitting in the far corner of their usual sitting, nervously and apprehensively looking in the direction from which the people had come. As soon as he saw her, his eyes lit up and he immediately stood up.

"Awan. ”

"How long have you waited?" she asked, as she sat down.

Ruan Wan's calm way of speaking made Du Jinnian couldn't help but be surprised, and at the same time, joy appeared in his heart. Because in his opinion, this is undoubtedly clear proof that "one qiē has passed". Now she has returned to her former appearance, if there is any difference, it is probably that she has been angry for a long time this time. But it doesn't matter, after that he will double the compensation until she is happy and satisfied.

"It didn't take long, and I just arrived. ”

Ruan Wan nodded and sat down.

As soon as she sat down, the proprietress came over with two cups of coffee with a rich aroma, and she smiled as she put the coffee in front of the two of them. There was no doubt that he had ordered a qiē before she came, as always.

Ruan Wan took a sip of coffee, she didn't sleep well last night, her spirit and face are not very good today, the latter can still be covered by foundation, and the former can't do anything. She took a few sips in succession, perhaps because of the psychological effect, and felt that her spirit was slightly better. Then he put down the cup, looked up at the person opposite, and said, "You can speak first." ”

"Me?" Du Jinnian was slightly stunned.

"Yes. If there's anything you want to say to me, you can say it now. ”

Du Jinnian looked at the woman opposite who had always looked faint, slightly stunned, keenly aware that the current situation seemed to be a little different from what he thought. However, they should also talk about it.

He thought for a moment and said, "What happened before was indeed my fault, and I have deeply realized this. In the future, it will never happen again. ”

Ruan Wan nodded again in his gaze, signaling that he could continue.

Du Jin's young hand stroking the rim of the cup paused, with a hint of hesitation on his face, because next, it was something he didn't really want to cover, but at the same time, he had already made up his mind to tell her about it.

"I know, you must be surprised why I pay so much attention to Zhuang Luo. Du Jinnian took a deep breath and slowly exhaled again, "This has something to do with my mother." ”

Mother?

Ruan Wan was stunned, but at the same time she didn't feel too strange. He hadn't told her anything about it in his previous life, and after he started dating in this life, she had asked, but he always avoided talking about it. Out of respect and consideration for him, she never asked. In hindsight, it may have been a foolish decision.

"Although I love her very much as a son, I have to admit that she-" Du Jinnian pursed her lower lip, "is not a good woman in the general sense." ”

As her son, he could forever cherish and love her in his heart.

But as a father's son, he felt that he could not do so.

Immediately after, Ruan Wan heard a story that she had heard for the first time in her life. But at the end of the day, things happen between men and women, whether they end well or badly, and most of them are similar. The same is true of Du Jinnian's one.

Young men and women who marry each other because of family ties are lucky enough to be in love with each other, and the initial relationship is indeed very good, but as time goes by, conflicts and disagreements also appear.

The husband takes his career too seriously, and his wife secretly complains about his neglect. After a long time, quarrels naturally occur. No matter how deep the feelings are, they can't withstand such a grind, and over time, the strictest problem finally arises.

The wife cheated.

Maybe it was just an accident.

Maybe just a little touched.

Maybe just a revenge.

Who knows?

There are some things that don't change the outcome, no matter what the cause.

Afterwards, she regretted and felt guilty, but she couldn't stop her fall. At the same time, her vision for choosing a partner is indeed not very good. When an investment failed and was almost bankrupt, she threatened her with photos taken secretly at some point, and if she didn't want the matter to be exposed, she would give him money or help him tide over the difficulties.

The wife's status in the family is similar to Qiao Shuqi, she has never been in charge of money and does not need to worry about it, and she is extremely unfamiliar with the family's industry. She knew that she couldn't help that scumbag through the economic crisis, let alone come up with a sum of money without attracting the attention of her shrewd husband, guilty, worried, and afraid...... With so many emotions intertwined, she made the most extreme choice.

"She committed suicide. When Du Jinnian spit out this sentence, his voice trembled slightly, he propped his elbows on the table, and buried his face in his palms, "Coincidentally, that day, I won the first place, and when I got home, I ran to their bedroom as soon as I could, and then ......."

Until now, he had no way to recall that day.

The mother, who was dressed in pajamas, lay on her back on the ground, her eyes closed as if she was asleep, and as if she would never wake up again.

An overturned wine glass lay beside her, the liquid staining a small carpet.

Before she chose to commit suicide, she left a letter containing photos of her lover who threatened her and a blank piece of paper with only three words on it - sorry.

He couldn't put into words how panicked and scared he was, and even lost a little memory, only vaguely remembering that he called for an ambulance, he hugged his mother and cried, and he looked at the photos in the paper bag with horror in his heart......

Hearing this, Ruan Wan vaguely understood why the people in front of her were so opposed to her busy work, but there were still some things that could not be explained.

He didn't speak again for a moment, and she waited quietly.

Sure enough, there was a follow-up.

Du Jinnian's mother did not die.

It's a good thing to be alive, but sometimes it's not always that way.

For example, her cheating was known to her husband, and the latter, who loved her deeply, naturally fell into a rage. In the end, the photo matter was resolved, but at the same time, Du Jinnian's father could not forgive his wife for betraying him.

"Mom, she really regrets it. Du Jinnian whispered, with a trance of memories in her voice, "She has been begging her father for forgiveness since she woke up." Although my father did not divorce her or let her move out of the house because of me, he always ......"

I couldn't forgive my mother.

Looking back on those years now, what impresses him the most is that his mother would get up early every day, wear delicate makeup and proper clothes, dress herself up as the most beautiful, go to prepare breakfast with a smile on her face, and then sit on the sofa in the living room and wait quietly. It wasn't until the food on the table was completely cold that she stiffened herself to her feet and ate a little. Then, it's time to prepare lunch, wait, prepare dinner, and wait......

Repeatedly, every day.

But in fact, he knew very well that his father would not come back, as long as she remained at home for a day.

He also couldn't bear to persuade his mother, telling her "Don't wait, Daddy won't come back", but she just laughed and said with a smile, "What if he comes back?

He also begged his father to give his mother another chance, but his father, who was also haggard, just smiled and rubbed his head, and whispered, "Good, do your homework, you don't understand what happened to your parents."

In the final analysis, the couple is on the path of self-torture and mutual torture at the same time, never dying.

This story ends with the death of Du Jinnian's mother.

Before he died, her husband finally agreed to come and see her, but she couldn't wait.

Du Jinnian was in pain in this matter, but he didn't hate his father, who could blame him for the delay in the plane due to weather problems? He clearly remembered that on that day, his mother, who had been dressed up delicately until the last moment, said the last words were-

"I can finally be beautiful in his eyes again. ”

She died with a smile on her face.

The father, who had been holding on to not seeing him again, collapsed the moment he saw his mother's body.

The past seems to have disappeared with the death of his mother. After the funeral, my father moved back and lived in the room where my mother had lived for the rest of her life. Gradually, the house was full of pictures of my father and my mother. Some things may seem ironic, but they are. When she was alive, she was full of sins, but when she died, she was transformed back into her most beautiful and clean appearance.

At the end of her life, the mother finally wanted to open up and gain liberation.

Her father was relieved after her death, and from then on, he no longer had to face the things he didn't want to face, and he could think about her and love her unscrupulously. She's the best at all times.

This is perhaps the most ideal state.

But in Du Jinnian's opinion, if his father had gone to see his mother earlier, before she died. Maybe a qiē won't end in tragedy, maybe he won't get a broken family. It's really hard to "forgive" it, but sometimes, it can really save a lot.

Ruan Wan was silent.

"I know that I broke your heart in the matter of Zhuang Luo. Du Jinnian raised his head and looked at her with a wry smile, "But there are some things, some times, I really ...... Can't control yourself. I don't want that either, but I really ......"

It's like he wants to give Zhuang Luo another chance.

It's like he can't tolerate Ruan Wan using those photos.

It's like he can't watch a life pass away in front of his eyes, even if it might be acting, but what if it's real?

"Awan. He put down his hand, took her grip, and sighed slightly, "Are you disappointed? I'm not as good as you think." "There are some things he doesn't want to say, and he can't say it. Sometimes, he really felt that she looked at him as if she were looking at a god, as if he were perfect, without the slightest blemish. This recognition did make him happy and honored, but at the same time, it also gave him a lot of pressure.

Now, he finally pulled out the unspeakable tray.

Ruan Wan lowered her eyes, and after a moment of silence, she spoke, she said-
