Chapter 30: The Grievances of the Last Generation
The scene in front of him made Ran Xixi hesitate slightly, and for a while he forgot to retract his gaze, and also forgot that Kong Miaomiao was still standing by his side.
Zhan Ruijue looks a lot like Zhan Xingchuan, and he will become more and more similar as he grows up, there is no doubt about this.
"He really loves Rui Rui, although he doesn't say it, but he has been trying to be a good father, as if he is making up for himself back then. There was actually a knot in his heart all along, and I could feel it. ”
Seeing that Ran Xixi could see it, Kong Miaomiao on the side said softly.
"A knot in your heart? That's right, I've never seen such parents and children, their family of three gets along in a really strange way, maybe it's because of Yu Youwei's incident. ”
Retracting his gaze, Ran Xixi followed the topic that Kong Miaomiao said, and said casually.
"No, no, no, in fact, it doesn't have much to do with Yu Youwei......" Kong Miaomiao saw that she didn't understand what she meant, and hurriedly explained: "Actually, it's not completely irrelevant, I can only say that that incident is a catalyst." I have known since I was a child that the relationship between my aunt and my uncle is not very good, so after my parents died, I have always been cautious during the time I lived at my aunt's house. Later, when I applied to live on campus, my aunt was still very worried, but I was actually relieved that I no longer had to send someone to the fence. ”
After speaking, she added: "Therefore, he should want to give his child a happy home more than anyone else, because he has not had it himself, and he must hope that Rui Rui will have it." ”
Ran Xixi glanced at Kong Miaomiao, and suddenly remembered something, she was sure that Zhan Xingchuan was playing with Rui Rui and would not come here, so she asked in a low voice, "Have you seen his uncle?" It seems to be called Zhan Liming. The last time I accompanied him to the hospital to see your aunt, I happened to meet him. ”
"Uncle...... It seems that there is such a person, but I probably haven't seen it. It's also strange to say, the Zhan family is obviously a big family, but in my memory, my aunt and uncle never seem to walk around with the relatives on the Zhan family's side, even if it's the New Year's holidays. Therefore, when my uncle left the company, there were not many elders with the same surname to speak for him, and I had only been working for a short time at that time, and I still felt indifferent at that time. ”
When it came to this matter, Kong Miaomiao was quite touched.
"That's right, when we got married, there were basically no relatives in attendance. I was also innocent, and I thought that I was in a hurry and had no time to invite. Now that I think about it, I'm so stupid, no matter what, if it's such a big thing as getting married, I shouldn't even be there for my uncle or something, right? ”
The more Ran Xixi spoke, the more she felt that there was a big problem in this, and then she thought of Zhan Xingchuan's strange attitude towards Zhan Liming, and she was even more sure of her guess: This uncle is not simple, it is very likely that he had some conflicts with Zhan Xingchuan's family of three before, and the two sides have not been able to reconcile so far.
In particular, Wang Jingshu went to gamble with others back then, owed a large amount of gambling debts, and was chopped off a finger by the gangsters. This matter has not yet been found out, although everyone does not say it, but they all know it, the whole thing may not be completely accidental, it is very likely that there is a trap set by someone with a heart, waiting for her to take the initiative to jump into it.
"Hey, if only it was like what the doctor said, my aunt could wake up. If she could wake up and talk to us, many things might be answered, including how my little uncle got there......"
Kong Miaomiao also sighed, she now only has an aunt to rely on, of course, praying that Wang Jingshu can wake up as soon as possible, and even attend her own wedding and watch her put on the wedding dress with her own eyes.
"Don't talk about this, tell me about you, when do you plan to marry Rong Qian? Year after year, it looks like it's a new year, and I'll see how long you can drag it out. Thirty, forty, or fifty? ”
Ran Xixi crossed her fingers and asked jokingly.
Hearing this, Kong Miaomiao showed a rare shy expression and snorted: "Let's talk about it next year." ”
"It's going to be next year soon. However, if you dare not invite me to your wedding, you will die! Also, our family Rui Rui still wants to be a flower girl, and she can pull the bride's wedding dress to the end. ”
Ran Xixi looked yearning, she had long wanted to dress up Zhan Ruijue as a little prince, even if it was only once.
"What do you say? It's almost time to eat, go wash your hands. ”
As he was talking, Zhan Xingchuan led Zhan Ruijue over, and the father and son played for a long time, and they were all out of breath at this time, especially Zhan Ruijue, who was so excited that his little face was red, because he didn't expect that his father and little aunt would come to the house together.
Dinner was richer than usual, Rong Qian received a call, and also ran over to eat, he praised the craftsmanship of Sister-in-law Chen and Sister Li again and again, saying that the two of them were simply "two swords combined", each with magical powers.
When everyone was about to finish eating, Ran Xixi hesitated slightly, but put down his chopsticks and decided to tell what he was leaving.
As soon as she finished speaking, except for Zhan Xingchuan and Zhan Ruijue, almost everyone was stunned.
"If you live and live well, why do you have to leave? Isn't it...... Where are you not satisfied, not used to it? ”
Da Chen, who had always been silent, was the first to speak up and asked with a stammered expression, the expression on his face was very frightened. Sister-in-law Chen beside him also immediately echoed: "Yes, is it that our couple has done something wrong, you name it, and we will change it immediately!" ”
Ran Xixi hurriedly explained: "No, I didn't make it clear just now, I want to go abroad for further study, the opportunity is rare, and I don't want to give up." In addition, I also want to take this opportunity to take Rui Rui out to have a look, after all, the environment abroad is indeed very different from that in China, and it is also good for him to let children go out to see the world. ”
After she said this, everyone relaxed a little.
"I accompany my mother to go abroad, and I want to be my mother's bodyguard."
Zhan Ruijue, who had been concentrating on eating, shouted, clenched his small fist, and waved it in the air.
Everyone laughed, but unfortunately, before they finished laughing, Zhan Ruijue said another sentence that made people laugh - "I still have to look at those bad uncles, and don't let them get close to my mother!" ”
Ran Xixi was suddenly a little embarrassed, she glanced at her son with disgust, and secretly made a gesture to shut up at him.
Zhan Ruijue continued to bury his head in the rice, he has been eating well recently, and it is somewhat related to Ran Xixi's strict control of daily snack intake. Children are like this, bullying the soft and afraid of the hard, and if they are a little strict with him, they will not dare to make noise for snacks, but eat obediently. At this point, Ran Xixi felt that he was a "tiger mother", while Zhan Xingchuan was much easier to talk to, and he was obviously a "cat father" who was dragging his feet.
"It's okay, it's only half a year, not a long time."
Seeing that everyone's searching eyes fell on his face, Zhan Xingchuan was slightly embarrassed, but he still said this.
Seeing him speak, it was difficult for everyone to say anything.
After the meal, Rong Qian and Kong Miaomiao sat for a while before leaving, seemingly intending to stay with Zhan Xingchuan so that he could have the opportunity to be alone with Ran Xixi.
Winning the Lu clan made Zhan Xingchuan feel very happy, and with Rong Qian by his side just now, he drank two more glasses.
Ran Xixi had already learned the news from the circle of friends, and she didn't know how she should react to this matter, as if it was reasonable for anyone to win and who to lose, so it didn't matter.
"Which day?"
Zhan Xingchuan had a cigarette between his fingers, but he didn't light it for a long time, because he knew that Ran Xixi hated the smell of smoke.
She picked up a magazine and flipped through two pages before replying, "Next week, on the morning of the twelfth." ”
"It's the end of the Spring Festival, the peak of travel, you take a child, be careful yourself."
He said dryly, but what he thought in his heart was that if they left on the twelfth, he wouldn't even have a chance to spend Valentine's Day with Ran Xi. Of course, this is just Zhan Xingchuan's wishful thinking, he knows very well that not to mention Valentine's Day, Ran Xixi can say a few more words to him now is a kind of mercy from heaven.
"Got it."
Ran Xixi flipped through a page of the magazine as he spoke, without even looking at him.
Zhan Xingchuan mustered up his courage, walked up to her, and gently pulled away the magazine.
"That incident, I think you still have a misunderstanding about me. Whether you believe it or not, I want to explain again, I really have nothing to do with her, can you please not think of me so ......"
She raised her head, looked him in the eye, and said very calmly, "This is not the first time you have met there. The last time I took Rui Rui downstairs to pick up the puppy, I saw you on a date. If one doesn't tell the story, what about two? Or did I see it only twice, when in fact there were three, four, and more? ”
Zhan Xingchuan was stunned for a moment, and then realized that he was not nervous that day, Ran Xixi did see him and Qiao Rachel meeting in the "even". However, in order not to arouse her suspicion, he also said that he was going to meet a customer, and he really jumped into the Yellow River and couldn't wash it away.
"I just didn't want you to be cranky, that's why I didn't tell the truth."
This kind of explanation even Zhan Xingchuan felt pale and powerless.
Ran Xixi not only didn't get angry, but smiled, she stood up, her eyebrows showed helplessness, and said softly: "Don't explain, it's completely unnecessary." We're divorced, and the only connection between you and me now is Rui Rui, you're his dad, I'm his mom, and we both want him to grow up happy. Other than that, there is nothing else, maybe in a few years, we will grow old and become friends. ”
Friend? Bullshit friends! Zhan Xingchuan couldn't help but scold in his heart.
It is definitely not uncommon for him to become friends with her, so that he will not be as hypocritical as Qiao Sijie, under the banner of friendship, to hide his powerlessness!
"I haven't packed my bags yet, so I'm going upstairs first. If you want to stay, you can. ”
Considering that she was about to take Rui Rui to live abroad for more than half a year, Ran Xixi didn't want to be too unkind, if Zhan Xingchuan wanted to spend the Spring Festival here together, she would not strongly object.
