(Ask for a genuine subscription to the starting point girl's network, thank you to all the book friends who support me, love you, Mo Da.) )
Three years later, the thirtieth night of the Chinese New Year's Eve.
The street lamps of Ziyun Villa have been replaced with new lampshades, and even there is a big red lantern next to the lampshade, all the way down, the road is straight, but the green of the plants and the red of the lanterns are cleverly integrated into the line of sight, which is pleasing to the eye.
Before six o'clock, the sky gradually darkened, and the houses by the lake were star-studded, shining on the lake with the street lamps, sparkling, like stars sprinkled on the water, layer by layer of beauty.
Wang Xue and Grace were busy in the kitchen for the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner of the three people, and as time passed, the table was filled with all kinds of dishes.
Wang Xue's specialty is also Yin Xiaotao's favorite meal, and there is also the French meal that Grace has just learned, although it does not look as meticulous as a high-end French restaurant, but the presentation is still very chic.
Wang Xue took out the coconut snow clam soup that had been stewed for two hours and put it on the dining seat, and then looked at the staircase that was still empty, and there was a little worry in her eyes, so she said: "Hey, Xiao Tao has been busy like this for several years, and I don't know if I also give myself a few days off to rest and rest, I work like this day and night every day, and if it continues like this, I'm really afraid that her body will collapse like this!" Shaking her head helplessly, she immediately said to Grace in a serious tone: "You are her best sister, help me persuade her not to work too hard, just have something to eat, you don't need to make so much money, your body is the most important thing." ”
Grace's eyes faded, and her heart was the same as Wang Xue's.
But since Yin Xiaotao knew the fact that Leng Yi was no longer there. At first, she was depressed for a long time, but then she suddenly recovered automatically, and at first Grace thought she had figured it out, but she didn't expect that she was just using the excuse of her job position to digest the fact that she still didn't accept Leng Yi's absence.
In fact, she was also very entangled, she had watched Yin Xiaotao so depressed many times and wanted to tell her the truth, but in the end she held back. Over the years, how can she not feel guilty about such concealment, but thinking of Leng Yi's words, she has to keep this secret even if she is a bad person, because everything is for the future of Yin Xiaotao.
She gently patted Wang Xue on the shoulder. comforted: "Auntie." Don't worry, I believe that Xiao Tao will definitely be measured, her body is herself, even if she doesn't take care of herself for you. You put your heart in your heart. Don't always get too tired about it. Little Peach is no longer a teenage girl! ”
Having said that, Wang Xue was still relieved, only to see her shaking her head. Helplessness was written all over his face.
"Yes, she's not a teenage girl anymore, but in my eyes, she will always be a child!"
Wang Xue's love for Yin Xiaotao made Grace silent, because she has been an orphan since she was a child, and she has no memory of her parents, let alone any father's love for her mother's affection, which is a fantasy for her.
Sometimes, Grace is really envious of Yin Xiaotao for having a mother who loves her like this and cares for her all the time; Although Wang Xue also cares for her like a daughter, this kind of love and blood thicker than blood love still make her feel a world of difference.
"Auntie, I'll go up and ask Xiao Tao to come down for dinner first!" Tears swirled silently in his eyes, but they were still suppressed.
Watching Grace go upstairs, Wang Xue also sighed secretly
In the study, Yin Xiaotao, who was wearing a plain white dress, was talking on the phone while browsing the email, looking very busy.
In the past three years, she has long bid farewell to the era of secret agents and transformed into the creative director of a Fortune 500 company, becoming a gold collar, working hard every day, and even the itinerary has been arranged for the entire first half of the year.
It's not that she's not short of money, just with the commission she earned for five years of working for Martin in country F, even if she spends her whole life wrongly, so her desperate work has nothing to do with money at all, but to pass the spiritual loneliness.
But the spiritual loneliness was indeed gone, but she ignored the people around her who loved her, and when she became so selfish, even she didn't know.
Grace pushed the door directly in, leaned on the back of the door with her hands crossed and looked at Yin Xiaotao, who was talking on the phone and did not forget to tap on the keyboard, speechless.
Yin Xiaotao noticed Grace, and then said into the phone: "Okay, the explanation has been almost explained, so be it, Happy New Year, goodbye!" ”
Putting down the phone, the rhythm of her fingers on the keyboard stopped, she leaned back in the boss's chair, looked at Grace with a gloomy face, and said, "Who made you angry, why did you have such a stinky face!" ”
Grace smiled coldly, pointed at her and said, "You! ”
"Me?" Yin Xiaotao pointed at herself, and said with a look of confusion: "I haven't been down today, and even lunch is solved here, if you want to make you angry, I'm afraid not!" ”
"Hmph, so you remember that you didn't go down all day today!" Grey walked over slowly with her hands in her pockets, sat down on Yin Xiaotao's desk, stared at her and continued: "You make a busy look like this every day, who do it for!" Have you ever taken into account the feelings of the people around you who love you and care about you? Please don't be so selfish, okay! ”
Yin Xiaotao took a breath: "I'm selfish, where am I selfish?!" ”
Grace spread her hands and said speechlessly: "Hmph, where are you selfish?" Do you know what day it is? ”
What day it was, she didn't know. Looking at the joy outside, it reminded her of Leng Yi, and she didn't know if he was doing well over there.
Seeing that she didn't speak, Grace was a little angry: "You actually forgot what day it is, you are really a noble person!" Look at the calendar on your desk and look at your phone! Today is the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, and the whole family has a lively New Year's dinner together! But what about you, even if you forget it, you still have to disturb your subordinates and the whole family's reunion, and you still say that you are not selfish? I see you're selfish everywhere! ”
Yin Xiaotao closed her eyes slightly, a little self-blamed, in fact, she knew all this, so she said coldly: "Enough!" Grace! ”
"Not enough!" Grace was already arrogant, and directly swept up the documents on her desktop and threw them into the trash, seeing this, Yin Xiaotao hurriedly stopped it, and had an argument with Grace, and said angrily: "I've said enough Grace, didn't you hear!" ”
Grace steadily shot the document that was snatched away by Yin Xiaotao earlier, held it in her arms, and continued to say angrily: "Then I didn't say enough, didn't you hear it?" ”
At this time, Yin Xiaotao was completely speechless, so she said: "Okay, I surrender, I surrender, it's important to me that you return these documents to me!" ”
"Important?" Hearing this, Grace tightened the papers, and asked, "Are these rotten documents more important to you than your gray-haired mother?" I ask you, go downstairs first to see your mother's face that has been sad for you for several years, and then take a look at these useless rotten documents, take a look, whether your mother is important or these junk files are important! ”
She was silent for a moment, and it dawned on her that Grace was so angry because she had neglected her mother!
Suddenly, she no longer fought with Grace for those documents, but sat back in the boss's chair, silent and blaming herself!
This action still made Grace unable to let go, and her anger broke through her thoughts, and she raised her hand and threw down the stack of documents in her hand without thinking about it, scattering them all over the ground.
In the end, she stepped on those documents with both feet, came to Yin Xiaotao, grabbed her collar directly, and asked with disappointment: "A man tortures you like this, so why don't you just die, so that the people around you who care about you will have a long pain and a short pain!" You've been selfish for three years, how long are you going to be selfish, do you think that if you're like this, he will go away with peace of mind and be happy on it? You're sober, you've been three years, it's time to let go"
Her words touched the deepest part of Yin Xiaotao's heart, and the memories were overwhelming, and at the same time made her heart ache!
Tears flowed silently from the corners of her eyes and dripped down Grace's hand that was clutched in her collar, in fact, Grace didn't know that Yin Xiaotao had pain in her heart! Seeing her crying, she couldn't help but keep it in her own eyes.
Although he complained about Yin Xiaotao's selfishness, he still gave it away, and said with tears streaming down his face: "Xiaotao, if Leng Yi is here, I must not want to see you like this." What needs to be said, I've already said it, what to do next, you can do it yourself! I'll go down first, your mother is still waiting for us to have a New Year's dinner! ”
Grace is gone, but the door is still open.
Looking at the door that was still swinging, the emotions hidden in the depths of Yin Xiaotao's heart completely collapsed. She didn't hide it, so she didn't care about howling and crying in the study.
Grace stood at the door, listening to her miserable cry, and she couldn't help but cover her mouth in pain, because she knew that Yin Xiaotao really had too many emotions to release, too much.
Wang Xue walked up, and as soon as she arrived at the corridor, she heard Yin Xiaotao's pain, so she hurriedly came to see Grace looking at herself with tears streaming down her face, and asked, "What's the matter, you two quarreled?" ”
Grace shook her head and choked up, "No, there was no quarrel, it's just that it's time for her to be completely released."
After a while, Yin Xiaotao finally stopped crying, and looked at the documents scattered on the ground, and she glanced at it.
With a slow pace, he soothed his mood and walked out of the study, looked at his mother and Grace who were squatting on the ground, and cried excitedly again, and immediately squatted down and hugged them, and said with tears streaming down his face: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, because my selfishness has ignored you for so long, no, not again." ”
Wang Xue, whose face was full of tears, finally showed a long-lost smile and said, "Good, good, good." ”
