After Shen Yiming left, Mo Zhonghui's call came, and when he heard the mobile phone ringing, An Nuan almost couldn't wait to press the answer button. At this moment, even just listening to his familiar voice could make her frightened heart gradually calm down.

"Mo Zhonghui, when will you come back?"

As soon as he spoke, his voice was hoarse.

Mo Zhonghui tugged at that end, "An Nuan, what's wrong?" Who bullied you? ”

"They said I was the daughter of my second uncle."

Mo Zhonghui gasped, what he didn't want to happen last time still happened.

A deep voice comforted her on the other end, "An Nuan, I'm already on the way, waiting for me to come back." ”

"Okay, I'll wait for you to come back, I miss you so much."

"No matter what happens, remember you and me."

Tears flowed silently, and a choked voice said to the other end, "Mo Zhonghui, I only have you, come back to accompany me quickly." ”

He could almost imagine her despair and helplessness at the moment, God really loves to play tricks on people, and at this time, he couldn't even be by her side.

After hanging up the phone, he immediately called the villa over there in Jiangcheng.

After only a while, the people in the villa found peace. Seeing these people who were once familiar, An Nuan felt a trace of warmth.

They are not family, but they take care of her wholeheartedly, without lies and without harm.

Shen Yiming once said to her that the person who hurts people the most is the person who loves her the most, which is not false at all.

An Nuan went to the former villa with the maids, and this home, no matter when she came, was clean and refreshing.

When she came to her room, the furnishings had not changed at all, and the furniture on the floor was spotless.

"Miss An, you can live with confidence, there are people cleaning here every day. The quilt and sheets have just been changed, you smell it, and the smell of the sun. And the clothes in your closet, we take them out to wash and dry every few days, so you can wear them with confidence. ”

An Nuan said gratefully, 'Xie Luxie', this is what it feels like to be at home, no matter when they come back, they have arranged everything properly.

"Miss An, it's too much for you to say thank you, we have been paid all these years. You go to the shower, then go down to eat, they cook a few of your favorite dishes and make you a cake. ”

An Nuan smiled and nodded, turned around and went into the bathroom.

Under the warm shower, a heart seemed to gradually calm down, at least she knew that no matter when, she would not be homeless.

An Nuan went downstairs after taking a shower, and they prepared a table full of meals in the restaurant, and after a few years, they still remembered her tastes, all of which were her favorite dishes. At that moment, An Nuan felt that her eyes were a little sour, which was touched by outsiders.

"Miss An, Mr. Mo called just now, he is already on the plane, and he will be back soon."

An Nuan nodded.

She really wanted to live here with Mo Zhonghui all the time and never return to Beijing.

That night, An Nuan lay on the familiar bed, but she had insomnia, and she couldn't sleep after tossing and turning. The heart is always empty, how I hope that Mo Zhonghui is by my side at this moment, and I can only find that sense of security by sleeping with him.

——

Shen Yiming did not return to Beijing and stayed in a hotel in Jiangcheng. He has been sending people to monitor An Nuan, and he is relieved that Mo Zhonghui's people have picked her up.

Late at night, the villa came to report, An Nuan ate, took a bath, and had fallen asleep, everything was normal.

But his anxious heart could not be calmed down.

The more you are afraid of what happens, the easier it seems to happen. The more I try to grasp something, the more I can't grasp it.

"Sir, rest well, we must go back early tomorrow morning. Miss An should be safe to live here, and Young Master Mo should come back tomorrow. ”

Shen Yiming sighed lightly, one hand supporting his sore forehead.

"How can I rest assured that she is left here alone."

The personal guard comforted, "There are so many people in the villa taking care of Miss An, it should be fine, and Young Master Mo is already on the way back, with him accompanying Miss An, it will be fine." You still have to go back to Beijing to preside over the work, but you can't let someone with a heart take advantage of it. ”

How could he not know the tricks of Mo Pingshan and Old Man Xue, they wanted to attack his heart and make him defeat without a fight.

"Mo Pingshan and Old Man Xue must have hoped that I would collapse so that they would have a chance to attack me, but they were wrong, they have been mixed up for decades, what kind of scene they have not seen, what kind of pain they have not experienced. How could I be easily defeated by them. Even if it is for warmth, I must be strong, I must be her strong backing, and at all times, protect her. ”

The guard sighed lightly and comforted, "Sir, Miss will definitely feel your good intentions one day, she just can't accept it for a while, your kindness to her, each of us sees it in our eyes, I believe she must understand, give her some time." ”

Shen Yiming nodded a little heavily.

——

Early the next morning, before dawn, he returned to Beijing.

At this moment, the Shen family's home is also in chaos. The old man fell ill in bed and refused to go to the hospital for treatment. Xue Yulan was angry, stayed in the room and refused to come out, did not eat food, and did not drink water.

Shen Yipei and Shen Yibo had no choice but to put down their work and come back to take care of the elderly.

As soon as Shen Yiming went home, he went to see the old man, and the old man was lying on the bed and asked in a weak voice, "How is Nuan Nuan?" Did she come back with you? ”

Shen Yiming sat down at the head of the old man's bed, held the old man's skinny hand, and replied in a deep voice, "Nuan Nuan didn't come back." ”

The old man was a little excited when he heard this, and his expression was very painful.

"Father, don't worry, although Nuan Nuan has not come back, but she is in good condition now, she lives in her former villa, there are many servants to take care of her, Huizi also flew back overnight, she can be there this afternoon, don't worry, Nuan Nuan will be fine."

The old man waved his hand and said bitterly, "That girl, how can she live so hard in this life, she has no mother since she was a child, she has no father in her twenties, she has been in prison for three years at a young age, and all the hardships she has suffered are all given by us." I really hate myself, why didn't I fulfill you back then, if I had let you and Yiru be together, there wouldn't have been so many tragedies. ”

Shen Yiming's heart also twitched fiercely, Shen Yiru was an eternal pain in his heart, and every time he mentioned it, he would feel a tingling sensation.

"Father, I don't blame you, you are also for the overall situation and my future."

In that situation, as long as he married Xue Yulan, with the help of the Xue family and the Shen family, his future was limitless, and in fact, he did not disappoint everyone. On the contrary, if at that time, the old man fulfilled them, he would have to announce Shen Yiming's identity to the outside world, so that they could be together, remove the halo of the Shen family, and bear the bad reputation with his sister, and Shen Yiming's future would be completely ruined. The old man also struggled, after all, Shen Yiru was his most beloved daughter, but after weighing it again, he still chose to sacrifice their relationship to fulfill Shen Yiming's lofty ambitions.

The old man never expected that they were so affectionate, and what happened later was not under his control. For Shen Yiming, he completely sacrificed his daughter. No one knows how many times he wanted to go to Jiangcheng to see her because of the torment and pain in his heart over the past few decades, but he always told himself that he couldn't be soft-hearted. His comrades-in-arms gave him a life, and it was natural for him to sacrifice more for Shen Yiming.

It was only at this moment that he gradually understood that he was not sacrificing himself, but his daughter and granddaughter.

"Yiming, no matter what, you must bring Nuan Nuan back, I still want her to accompany me on the last journey."

The old man's painful words made everyone secretly wipe their tears.

Shen Yiming's eyes were also a little sour, he clenched the old man's hand, and said in a somewhat hoarse voice, "Father, don't worry, Nuan Nuan is filial and sensible, let's give her some time, she will definitely be able to figure everything out." You must take good care of your body and listen to the doctor. ”

"Don't worry at this time, I won't be able to die for a while, but if Nuan Nuan doesn't come back, I can't guarantee whether I can live."

"Father."

"Go and see Magnolia, she hasn't come down to eat all day, and she's a poor person."

——

Shen Yiming didn't know how to face Xue Yulan, he had failed her in this life, as if no amount of compensation would help.

When I walked to their room, I hesitated, and stood quietly for a long time, not having the courage to go in.

The door was suddenly opened from the inside, Shen Chenpeng walked out, and when he saw him, Shen Chenpeng's originally calm face became more and more gloomy.

Shen Chenpeng's hands were even clenched into fists, if the elder in front of him was not his, he would definitely swing it over and beat him hard.

"Chen Peng, how is your mother?" Shen Yiming's voice was a little soft.

Shen Chenpeng's dark eyes narrowed, and his cold voice was word by word, "You still have the face to ask her how she is?" A woman, when you were not so brilliant, married you without hesitation and gave birth to children. In the past few decades, when you are not busy outside, has she ever complained to you? Thirty years, a woman's most precious thirty years have been given to you, how did you treat her? If you didn't love her at the beginning, and you know that you won't fall in love with her, you shouldn't marry her. Since you have married her, you should be loyal to her and take good care of her. ”

"Chen Peng, I ......"

"You don't have to explain it to me, I finally understand now that you couldn't bear to send me abroad when I was very young. For what is it, since I was born, you have never hugged me, never smiled at me. I used to think that you were such a cold-blooded and ruthless person, and you were cold to everyone. But since An Nuan came to my house, I found that you can also laugh, you can also spoil people, and you can even spoil a person to the sky. You will give her whatever you want, love, freedom, and these are things I can't hope for. She is your daughter, and I am also your son, why can she pursue her true love, and I have to become your tool, a victim of your consolidation. Don't you think you're too cruel to our mother and son? ”

"I'm sorry, Chenpeng."

Those three words simply shocked him, and Shen Yiming, who was high in the sky, actually said sorry to him, he had never thought of it in his life.

Taking a deep breath, he said lightly, "You go, my mother doesn't want to see you for the time being." ”

That night, Shen Yiming didn't stay at home and went to his office. For a while, he seemed to have become a sinner of the Shen family, Xue Yulan and Shen Chenpeng hated him, An Nuan no longer cared about her, and everyone in the family seemed to have heartache in their eyes when they looked at him.

All along, everything was under his control, but this time, I really experienced what helplessness is.

——

After Shen Yiming left, Shen Chenpeng went to the kitchen to cook a bowl of noodles and took them to Xue Yulan to eat.

Yesterday he spent the whole night with her in Xue Yulan's room, and Xue Yulan sat on the bed with a sluggish expression. All night, she maintained this movement and expression. After all the good things were said, she just wouldn't lie down and sleep.

Sitting down beside her, Shen Chenpeng coaxed in a good voice, "Mom, eat a bowl of noodles, you haven't eaten for a day." ”

"Don't eat, don't want to eat anything, let me be quiet." Xue Yulan's voice was very hoarse.

Shen Chenpeng was a little angry, and his voice couldn't help but raise a little higher, "Who are you angry with like this, even if you starve to death here, Dad won't feel distressed, at most he will blame himself and say sorry to you." You knew early on that he didn't love you, and you insisted on marrying him, who can you blame now? Blame An Nuan's mother, she's dead. Is it to blame An Nuan, she is also a victim. ”

"I don't blame anyone, I'm just sad. Early in the morning, he knew that An Nuan was his daughter, but now he is still sad. Decades, I still can't warm his heart. Son, I'm sorry, Mom is sorry for you, so you haven't felt family affection since you were a child, I'm sorry. ”

Shen Chenpeng put the bowl aside, shook her hand hard, and said in a deep voice, "I don't blame you, your son has grown up, and even without him in the future, I can protect you." I will be filial to you and be your dependence. ”

Xue Yulan's tears that she had endured for a long time fell down, she hugged Shen Chenpeng tightly, her face buried in his shoulder, unconsciously, her son had really grown up, and her shoulders could already be relied on. She was wrong from beginning to end, she shouldn't have pinned all her heart on Shen Yiming, in order to cooperate with his education, she has not taken care of her son, leaving him alone to grow up in a foreign country.

"Son, I'm sorry, please forgive Mom."

Shen Chenpeng's deep voice comforted her, "I don't blame you, I know that you are more bitter than anyone else in your heart." ”

Later, Shen Chenpeng fed her half a bowl of noodles and coaxed her to lie down.

"Chen Peng, you can also go and rest, don't worry, for you, my mother will also cheer up."

Seeing Xue Yulan fall asleep, Shen Chenpeng left.

——

In broad daylight, Shen Chenpeng went to the bar to drink, holding too many emotions in his heart, as if only borrowing wine could eliminate it.

At this moment, I wanted someone to accompany him, took out his mobile phone, the number slid from top to bottom, and finally fixed on the name of 'Gu Qiu', his eyes dimmed, and he continued to slide down, only to find that none of the hundreds of people could confide in him. The so-called friends around him, who are not for the sake of profit, everyone wants to get some benefits from him, but no one is sincere to him.

He actually wanted to call An Nuan and ask her if she was okay now, but he didn't do it, and he didn't know if he would be able to face this sister calmly in the future.

He didn't hate her, he knew that An Nuan must be in the same pain as him at the moment.

Drank all day at the bar, from day to night, from dawn to dark.

As the crowds at the bar grew louder and louder, he left the bar unsteadily. Looking up at this dark night, starry, what a bright starry sky, there is a silly woman who always likes to make a wish to the stars in the sky. He once asked her what she wished, and she said that it would not work.

Her pure face and the clean smile at the corners of her mouth came to mind, and her heart was stabbed violently. Since childhood, there has been no family affection, no father's love and no mother, but this woman has given her the warmth of her home and a place for his wandering heart.

But he had lost her, and he had no power to protect her, no blessing to have her.

At this moment, he was thinking about her, and she must be in the arms of another man.

How he wanted to go to her, even if it was just to look at her from afar, but he didn't want to disturb her peaceful life.

An Nuan told him that if there is no way to make her happy if she loves someone, she should decisively let go and let others give her happiness.

For her sake, he let go, but every such deep night, the lonely heart never had a place to live.

He didn't know how long it would take for him to forget someone, he had been trying, but the more he wanted to forget, the more he missed it.

Countless nights like this, he dialed her number and hung up, hoping she would give him one back, but she never did.

Every time he picked up his phone and called her, he told himself that this was the last time, but there was always a next time.

He still hit, this time it didn't just ring, it rang for a long time, the end hung up, he was unwilling, he hit again, several times in a row, and I don't know who Lu Dao was angry with. After the end, he got through. His eyes turned red when her familiar voice came out in a rage, and when he heard her voice, he realized how much he missed her.

"Shen Chenpeng, what are you crazy about, what time is it?"

He didn't speak, it was enough to listen to her.

"Shen Chenpeng, call me and don't speak, it's fun, isn't it?"

I didn't get a response from him, and the other end was a little angry, "Shen Chenpeng, if you don't talk again, I'll hang up the phone." ”

"Gu Qiu, I miss you."

Five simple words are worth a thousand words.

"Gu Qiu, when I was in the most pain, I was the first to think of you, only to find that the pain that anyone brought me was less than one-thousandth of yours. Because they never gave me love, I don't feel bad, and you, who gave me love, took it back. ”

"Shen Chenpeng."

"I'm fine, you're just talking nonsense when I'm drunk. Gu Qiu, Xie Lu Xie You are still willing to answer my phone, Xie Lu Xie You once gave me warmth. ”

------Off topic------

In the past few days, all kinds of repairs, all kinds of physical discomfort, first five thousand more, and then I will recover ten thousand more when I am in better condition, thank you for not giving up. How many people were touched by the love between Shen Chenpeng and Gu Qiu? Anyway, I was moved.
