Although the results of the competition have not yet come out, Ouyang Ze still took people to the most luxurious meal, and it was regarded as a celebration banquet in advance, first, to boost everyone's morale, and second, to really thank them for not leaving the company at this time.

For the luxurious feast full of tables, everyone talked and laughed, and there was a scene of joy.

Only Ouyang Ze looked absent-minded, although he had always had this look in front of everyone, but for Li Shen, who was more familiar with him, Ouyang Ze had something in his heart, otherwise he wouldn't be like this.

After eating, everyone's interest was still high, and someone mentioned going to karaoke, Ouyang Ze waved his hand,

"Go ahead, all the expenses tonight will be reimbursed by the company tomorrow."

Ouyang Ze looked at everyone's happy looks, didn't say anything more, but drove away.

Li Shen, as his best friend, also followed him at this time.

Along the way, Ouyang Ze was exceptionally silent, and that silence was a silence emanating from the bottom of his heart.

Even though Ouyang Ze usually looks cold, but now Ouyang Ze is not only silent, but also a silence that is not in a good mood.

Glancing at the man in the rearview mirror, Li Shen opened his mouth:

"You seem to be unhappy?!"

didn't get an answer, and there was still an indescribable atmosphere in the car, which made Li Shen move a little uncomfortably:

"Is it because of Tong Xia?!"

Still no one responded, Li Shen glanced at Ouyang Ze again, but saw that the man had closed his eyes and pretended to be sleeping.

The corners of his mouth twitched, forget it, I don't want to say it, I don't want to say it, anyway, he didn't expect this stuffy gourd to answer him.

Tong Xia pulled Tang Xue all the way back to where he lived, and the obvious concern on his face made Tong Rui see it.

"Sister Xiaoxue, what's wrong with Mom?"

Tang Xue didn't know how to explain to a five-year-old child, so she had to prevaricate:

"Probably at work."

Sent Tong Xia home safely, Tang Xue couldn't help but say before leaving:

"Xia Xia, tonight is not a good opportunity, you just met, you are in the joy of meeting each other, you suddenly said it like this, you can't help but give him a chance to accept it."

Tong Xia sat on the edge of the bed in a daze, and smiled bitterly when she heard the words, in fact, she didn't know, but if she didn't say it, wouldn't it hurt even more after a long time? !

The long pain is better than the short pain, and now it is even more impossible between them, so confessing to him at this stall is also a kind of injury, but this damage can be minimized.

"But what about later?! It's no longer possible for me and him. ”

Tong Xia's eyes were out of focus, and he seemed to have fallen into his own world.

Tang Xue sighed slightly and comforted:

"How do you know it's impossible?! Since God can let you meet again, it may mean that the fate between you is not over, and I want you to continue the previous fate. ”

Tong Xia shook his head, his expression still sad:

"There is an unbridgeable chasm between me and him, which I will never be able to cross in my life."

"Xia Xia, what happened between you back then?!"

Tang Xue looked at Tong Xia, who was covered in sadness in front of her, and reached out to hug her:

"Whatever happens, it's all in the past, and from now on, you have me by your side."

"Xiaoxue, have you ever tasted betrayed by your loved ones?! It's that painful taste, I don't want to try it again in my life. ”

Tong Xia's memory returned to that weekend six years ago, and the feeling of sadness in his eyes was greater than his death:

"That time, I had already made an appointment to meet him, but I didn't expect that on the first night of the appointment with him, I was taken to a banquet by my parents.

At that time, my mother handed me a glass of water, and it was because of that glass of water that I was unconscious.

The next morning, when I saw that I was in a strange room with a stranger lying next to me, I instantly collapsed.

At that time, all the grievances, all the anger, and all the sadness were not as big as the blow my mother gave me.

She explained to me that it was a last resort and that I was the only one who could help the family through this difficult time.

Xiaoxue, you know what?!

I was only 18 years old at the time, just a freshman, but I didn't expect this to be the case. ”

Tong Xia wiped the tears on his face, and it turned out that he would still cry:

"That day, I felt like the darkest day of my life, and at that moment, I just wanted to get out of here, go far away, and never come back.

Later, I left directly, and I had a difficult life alone in country Z, but fortunately, I still have a good girlfriend there.

But she just went to study abroad, plus me, and I accidentally learned that I was pregnant, two young girls, especially one who was pregnant, those years of hardship, I can't imagine it.

Fortunately, we survived at the beginning, and it was from then on that I became covered in thorns and didn't give anyone a chance to get close to me, because I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to protect Rui Rui and myself.

If it's me, I don't care, but I still have Rui Rui, and I can't let him be bullied......"

Tong Rui didn't listen to the rest of the words, he was afraid that he couldn't help crying, which would alarm Sister Xiaoxue and her mother.

He knew these things, but it was the first time he said them from his mother's mouth, and he felt extremely distressed.

It turned out that his mother had suffered such a thing, no wonder he always found that his mother was often stunned alone, especially when she sat there alone, how lonely and desolate her figure was.

Tong Rui thought of what Tong Xia said just now, his hands clenched into fists, his mother has always loved him, but his mother's mother is a selfish person, how can there be such a mother in this world? !

Tong Xia recalled the past, as if she had opened a conversation, and told Tang Xue about the past that she had never mentioned to anyone.

Tang Xue looked at Tong Xia distressedly and put Tong Xia's head on her shoulder:

"Xia Xia, in the future, my shoulders will always be relied on by you."

Tang Xue had only seen such things on TV or novels, those things like the grudges of wealthy families, selling women for glory, she always thought that only in novels.

But I didn't expect it to happen in life, Tang Xue really couldn't imagine how there could be such ruthless parents in the world.

Although her family is not wealthy and has a younger brother, even if her father broke his leg and had no source of livelihood, her parents never said a bitter thing in front of them.

At that time, she didn't want to go to school and wanted to go out to work, but her parents stopped her, saying that the family didn't need her to earn that money.

As long as she studies hard.
