Chapter 2 Keeping it - is the real skill
After returning to China, Yin Yuqi will come to her, as Tong Mai expected! However, it was not Yin Yuqi who came, but Chen Yuhua......
See you again after a few years of separation...... Tong Mai originally thought that she could truly let go of all her resentment, but when she saw her in person, there was inevitably hatred in her heart.
"When I saw the elders, I didn't even say hello, it seems that you are still as uneducated as before. Also, the country is easy to change, but the nature is difficult to change, right? ”
Chen Yuhua looked at Tong Mai with arrogant and rude eyes, they were like natural enemies, and they couldn't help but attack each other as soon as they saw each other......
If Chen Yuhua said that she was uneducated before, Tong Mai would argue desperately, but now that she is older, she has finally matured a lot, and she has learned to fight back in the most hurtful and effortless way.
"Elders? Who are you to love this lady? Can you introduce yourself? If it's a stranger, how can you greet it? Tong Mai's tone was shallow and light, but it could hurt her morale.
Sure enough, Chen Yuhua's face turned a little pale with anger, and he bit his lip, "Tong Mai, don't give me tongue twisters, let's open the skylight and say something bright, how much do you want to stop pestering Huo Yize?" ”
As expected, her search for her was nothing more than Yin Yuqi and Huo Yize's business......
"So you're going to tell me this? Actually, you don't have to ask me how much money I want, or what conditions to prescribe, you can play a trick like you did back then to record or something, and let Huo Yize draw a clear line with me, wouldn't it save trouble? I'll tell you, what else do you want to do, just come! If I really want to return to Huo Yize's side, do you think you can stop me one by one? Now Yin Yuqi is nothing to get Huo Yize, because this is what I gave her, and I can keep it - it is the real ability. ”
Tong Mai's tone was still steady and unfazed, especially now in Chen Yuhua's eyes, she was so confident, as if no matter what, as long as she was willing to return to Huo Yize's side, it would be effortless.
If she and Huo Yize were separated because of distrust at the beginning, and now, she is unwilling to act as a third party and continue to have anything to do with him, it is not that she doesn't love each other......
"Tong Mai, don't be too arrogant, I can come to you for your father's sake, I don't want your father to worry about you before he dies, and he won't be blind." Chen Yuhua said angrily.
And the news about Yin's father broke out from her mouth, which obviously shocked Tong Mai, "What's wrong with him?" Even if Father Yin didn't fulfill his responsibilities as a father to her for a day, at this moment, when she heard the bad news about him, her heart was trembling faintly, because blood was thicker than water......
Even if she didn't want to ask, his blood would be in her bones......
"Your dad has terminal lung cancer, and he doesn't have much time left!" Chen Yuhua's voice was obviously lowered, but it could be seen that there was not much reluctance and nostalgia in his eyes.
At this moment, Tong Mai's head was rumbling for a moment.
In the past, she hated Chen Yuhua and Yin's father to the core, and she wished that they would be cut by a thousand knives, but the time to hear him was running out! Tong Mai's eyes were inexplicably pantothenic, and his originally calm heart was tumbling arbitrarily, but he just pretended to be calm in front of Chen Yuhua, "It's useless to use him to put pressure on me!" Go back! "She doesn't want to see Chen Yuhua! If you can, you don't want to have anything to do with her for the rest of your life.
Chen Yuhua could also see that Tong Mai was still as stubborn and resolute as before, and it was still useless to negotiate conditions with her, so it was better to think of other methods......
Tong Mai's mood was extremely heavy after receiving the news that Yin's father would die soon, and she didn't even notice that Chen Yuhua was leaving, and tears involuntarily welled up under her eyes.
Is it retribution? Or does Mother never want to be alone in heaven anymore, so she summons him?
——
"Grandpa, my mother said that children who don't eat are not good children, grandpa, you are an adult! You have to eat obediently. In the ward, Huo Zhengluo was talking to Yin's father very obediently by his bedside.
Father Yin nodded, and every time he looked at Luo Luo, his tears flowed involuntarily, "Grandpa, are you crying?" Does it hurt? Luo Luo rubbed it for you......"
The more he saw Luo Luo so obedient and sensible, the more excited he became, "cough cough ......" coughed very badly, the breathing on the tip of his nose was not smooth, and he even had to go back to breathe, "Luo Luo ......"
"Grandpa, I'm here, I'll take a picture for you." Huo Zhengluo learned how Yin Yuqi patted Yin's father on the back in the usual way, drew gourds in the same way, and did things with a clear eye.
Tong Mai stood outside the ward, looking at Yin's father's very uncomfortable appearance, and his heart was violently pinched together. Chen Yuhua didn't lie to her this time, Father Yin is really about to die, right?
As soon as Father Yin looked up, he saw Tong Mai's figure, and when the father and daughter looked at each other, Tong Mai reflexively dodged, as if he didn't want him to find himself ......
Even when she saw him die soon, she no longer had any hatred, but now she didn't seem mentally ready to face him face to face......
"Wheat...... Wheat ......" Father Yin's emotions became more and more excited, "Luo Luo ...... Helped her grandfather stop her...... "He has never dared to see Wheat because he is ashamed of him, but now that Wheat is here, he can't let go of this opportunity."
"Auntie...... Wait......" Luo Luo hurried out and called Tong Mai.
Tong Mai paused instantly, and Luo Luo also took the opportunity to stop in front of Tong Mai, "Auntie, don't go!" My grandfather is very sick and very serious, can you take a look at him? ”
Luo Luo is still very polite, there is a big difference between his attitude towards his elders and Tong Xiaosha, his mother has taught him to be sensible and cultivated since he was a child.
Later, his mother also told him: Tong Mai is not an aunt, but an aunt...... She is her mother's sister. But why did my mother's sister rob my father from my mother?
Luo Luo frowned, seeing that Tong Mai did not go back, nor did he go forward, his little hand cautiously stepped forward and pulled Tong Mai's hand, and in an instant, Tong Mai's body seemed to have been struck by lightning, every cell in his body was in pain, and unknown feelings rose in his chest......
"Auntie, look at him! Grandpa was pitiful. Luo Luo continued to squeeze her palm, and her inky eyes were full of sincerity, as if she couldn't tolerate Tong Mai's refusal.
"Lolo, huh?" Tong Mai suddenly squatted down and looked at him at eye level. Carefully examining Luo Luo's face at close range, he has the same delicate facial features as Huo Yize, handsome and compelling, coupled with a gentle and elegant personality, it seems that people can't give birth to the slightest sense of disgust.
Tong Mai had to admit that he envied Yin Yuqi's good life again......
"Auntie......" Luo Luo originally wanted to tell her, don't snatch her father away.
But Tong Mai took his hand and walked to the ward, stopping him from what he said next......
"Let's go, let's go in." Tong Mai grabbed the palm of Luo Luo's little hand, as if there was a warm current flowing, it stands to reason that she should hate him, maybe she should be called at him by the affectionate title - aunt, she should be tolerant of children, after all, Luo Luo is innocent.
It's just that when Tong Mai knows one day that Luo Luo in front of her is the baby she gave birth to in October, but she calls her aunt, her world will definitely turn around......
When "Wheat ......" saw Tong Mai not far away, the two words that escaped from Yin's father lips trembled obviously, and he couldn't cry.
Tong Mai's footsteps gradually became stiff, as if he couldn't drag his steps, unable to get closer to him, or even didn't want to get closer, and saw his thin cheeks more clearly.
His eye sockets were obviously sunken, as if he was surrounded by the breath of death, and even the hand he stretched out to Tong Mai was wrinkled, and in an instant, in the blink of an eye, old age and decay.
Luo Luo was silent at this time, quietly beside him, the wheat stood in place, the hand in his pocket tightened, struggling to step forward to hold his hand, or refuse ruthlessly......
Tong Mai's mind remembered his previous ruthlessness, but after hesitating for a moment, he still didn't stretch out his hand......
The meaning of reaching out is obvious, doesn't it mean that he has been forgiven? At this moment, although you can do it without hating him, you can't forgive him!
Father Yin continued to cough, and the palm holding his lips was stained with blood, but he still tried to say a lot to Tong Mai......
"Wheat, I'm sorry, I'm sorry for you......" Yin's father didn't dare to call himself "father" in front of her, he knew that he was ashamed of Tong Mai, and he didn't deserve to be a father at all, "You...... Come and see me! I've ...... Very satisfied...... "A smile was involved on the pale and slender face, and that kind of smile made people feel depressed, and they couldn't help but feel distressed.
From beginning to end, Tong Mai just stared at him, didn't say anything, and had nothing to say!
"Grandpa, stop talking......"
Luo Luo patted Yin's father on the back, he seemed to be more sensible than Tong Mai, but now Tong Mai was not ignorant, but ...... for a while She didn't know how to face it.
Forgive him? Unwilling!
Don't you forgive? There is reluctance......
Tears rolled in his eyes, but he didn't want to cry in front of him, "You take care of your illness, I'll come to see you again when I have time that day." The words were choked and hurried, and the more hasty she was, the more she showed her panic and care.
"Wheat...... Don't leave...... I still have something to say......" Seeing Tong Mai leaving, Yin's father hated his weakness and couldn't stop her.
And Luo Luo caught up with him this time, "Auntie......"
Tong Mai turned his back to Luo Luo, wiped away the tears in his eyes, and then turned around, "Luo Luo, my aunt still has something to do, I have to go first." "She couldn't stay any longer, and staying any longer would only make her more embarrassed.
Luo Luo was still standing there, with a strong expectation in his bright eyes, "Auntie, can I ask you for one thing?" ”
What's up? Tong Mai twisted his eyebrows, and couldn't help but wonder a little.
Her silence, Luo Luo took her as a tacit consent, "Auntie, my mother is very pitiful, can you return my father to my mother?" ”
