Chapter 9: Where Are You?
Su Nan had never been so angry.
Xu Yanan has always been a well-behaved daughter in her eyes, and she will do whatever she says as a mother, and there will never be disobedience, but now...... Xu Yanan dared to talk to her like this on the phone, which was completely beyond her imagination.
What's more, an inexplicable man appeared at such a time.
"You're going to whip me?" Su Nan's tone of voice was full of disbelief, as if he suspected that he had misheard it before, "Did you say that you were going to come and smoke me?" ”
"Yes." Chen Xian silently squatted in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, looking at Xu Yanan, who was sobbing but silent, and suddenly felt a little distressed for her, "You have to be glad that you are talking to me through the phone now, if you are in front of me, I will knock out your teeth now." ”
Xu Yanan is the kind of woman with a strong personality, compared to the cute and lovely Xiao Muhe, she doesn't seem to need others to worry about her, as if she can do everything well, and her independent personality is like a copy of herself in Chen Xian's opinion...... But when Chen Xian saw her crying, it seemed like he knew her for the first time, maybe this was her real side.
Her strong temperament is like a shell of hypocrisy, and Xu Yanan, who is hidden under that shell, is no different from ordinary women, she will be sad when she is bullied, sad when she is scolded, and crying when she is wronged.
"Do you know who I am?" Su Nan's tone on the other side of the phone became cold, and there was a hint of threat in every word, "Do you know the consequences of talking to me like this?" ”
Chen Xian thought for a moment, and then asked, "Then do you know who I am?" ”
"Who are you?" Su Nan sneered, and didn't seem to take the person on the other side of the phone seriously.
"My name is Chen Xian, and now I am in Ningchuan, where are you?" Chen Xian asked quietly, and began to think in his heart that if the person on the other side of the phone was out of town, would it be good to buy a ticket for the big night? If it's hard to buy, why don't you just fly over?
At this moment, the person on the other end of the phone was silent.
Chen Xian?
Which Chen Xian?
Could it be Ning Chuan's one?
"Are you Chen Xian from the Ningchuan Branch?" Su Nan's tone became solemn, and she seemed to be a little disbelieving, after all, in her opinion, the relationship between Chen Xian and the Xu family was not so harmonious, besides...... He and Xu Yanan also had some conflicts, how could the two of them get together?
"It's me." Chen Xian replied, persistently asking, "Where are you?" ”
“.......”
Su Nan on the other side of the phone was silent.
Because she had already felt Chen Xian's perseverance and desire to send warmth to the door.
Seeing that the woman on the other side of the phone didn't speak, Chen Xian took the phone away, glanced at Xu Yanan, and asked softly.
"Who is she?"
Xu Yanan looked at Chen Xian pitifully and didn't speak, she couldn't find any trace of her previous strength on her face, maybe this was the first time she recognized herself, after all, she would be tired if she was strong for too long.
In the past, she couldn't find anyone to talk to, even when she went to her grandfather who loved her the most, she would only say a few words to that woman in the end, and then ...... There will be no change in his life, and he will always live like a tool belonging to the Xu family, like a marionette at will.
But now, Xu Yanan saw that there were people around him who would take the initiative to stand up for themselves, and the person who stood up for himself turned out to be the dead straight man Chen Xian who bullied him every day.......
"She's my mom." Xu Yanan lowered his head, and the whole person curled up in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, and his voice was trembling faintly, as if he didn't want the person on the other side of the phone to hear, "I don't like her." ”
Hearing this, Chen Xian was just stunned for a moment, nodded and didn't react much.
"Aren't you surprised?" Xu Yanan secretly glanced at Chen Xian.
"I don't think so." Chen Xian said, then picked up the phone again and asked politely, "Auntie, where are you?" ”
“.......”
Xu Yanan took the mobile phone from Chen Xian's hand, hung up the phone directly, and then squatted aside with the mobile phone, burying his whole face on his knees.
Mu He found out early in the morning that Xu Yanan seemed to be arguing with others, but after seeing Xu Yanan crying angrily, she didn't dare to lean over at will, and secretly hid by the door and looked at this side, as if she was a little at a loss and didn't know what to do.
This is the first time she has seen the people around her cry, and it is also the first time to feel this kind of sadness that seems to be empathetic...... It wasn't until he saw that the phone was hung up and Xu Yanan squatted aside and stopped talking, that Mu He dared to walk over cautiously.
"Sister Yanan?"
Seeing that Xu Yanan didn't speak, Mu He was even more frightened, and put his little hand on Xu Yanan's back very carefully, and gently patted her for smoothness.
"Don't cry, don't cry, who bullied you? Shall we help you kill him? ”
"Her mom bullied her." Chen Xian said.
"Her mother?" Mu He was stunned, and then behaved calmly like Chen Xian, and continued to comfort Xu Yanan, "Where is your mother?" Shall we help you kill her? ”
“.......”
Facts have proved that Chen Xian and Mu He are the same kind of people.
The concept of parents is extremely vague in their minds, especially Mu He...... The concept of parents she learned was all seen on TV, and for her, her parents were no different from ordinary people, just a little better for herself, what else was there?
Bloodline connections?
An indelible affection?
These are all incomprehensible things in Mu He's opinion, and so is Chen Xian.
He was brought up by his grandfather Chen Ba, and he couldn't understand what kind of existence his parents were at all, although he also learned some concepts about "parental affection" after being sensible, but at the same time, he also learned many things that he couldn't imagine before.
For example, parents are not necessarily good to their children.
For example, some parents are not worthy of being parents at all.
It's too much.
Every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, and Chen Xian knows this truth very well, so he was not surprised to learn that the person on the other side of the phone was Xu Yanan's mother.
At this moment, Xu Yanan's mood seemed to ease up a little, she raised her head and looked at Mu He with teary eyes, and then spread her hands and said.
"Xiao Muhe came over and asked my sister to hug ......"
"Hug~"
Xiao Muhe was soft when she hugged her, like a cute and delicate doll, holding her in her arms Xu Yanan only felt extremely healed, and couldn't help but rub her little face.
Chen Xian squatted aside like a person who had nothing to do, gently supporting his chin with his right hand, and looked at Xu Yanan silently, as if he was thinking about something.
"Am I ashamed?" Xu Yanan glanced at Chen Xian and asked in a low voice.
"I don't think so." Chen Xian shrugged.
"You are not allowed to tell anyone else, you can't talk about today's ......" Xu Yanan picked up the tissue handed to her by Chen Xian, wiped the tears on her face, and said with red eyes, "I didn't expect her to answer the phone...... If I had known she was home, I wouldn't have made this call......."
"Do you have a bad relationship with her?" Chen Xian asked with some curiosity.
Xu Yanan thought for a while, nodded and said: "I don't have much affection for her, after my father died, my grandfather basically brought me up since I was a child, until I showed the strongest talent among my peers in the Xu family....... She only came back to take me back then, and to be honest I hated her very much. ”
After saying that, Xu Yanan was silent for a while, then raised his head and looked at Chen Xian.
"Being at the mercy of others for more than ten years can't live the day I want...... Do you know how uncomfortable that feeling is? ”
"I don't know, but I can understand it." Chen Xian nodded.
"I suspect that in her eyes I am not a living person, just a tool for her to return to the Xu family, as if everything about my achievements is related to her...... She is the person who needs to be grateful to the Xu family the most, and everyone should be grateful to her for cultivating me, the heir of the Xu family. Xu Yanan smiled self-deprecatingly, stretched out her hand and gently pinched Mu He's face, "In the days when I disappeared in Meishan, she sent me a lot of text messages, all urging me to go back to errands, help her solve the jobs she received, and help her socialize with other people in the circle......."
"If you don't want to do it, don't do it in the future." Chen Xian said calmly, turning his head sideways to look at the endless traffic downstairs, "No one will force you." ”
"She will." Xu Yanan smiled bitterly and shook her head, "She understands people too well, and she is too good at being a person, now my grandfather can't say anything about her, as long as she wants me to go back, she has 10,000 ways to let me go back, and even asked those elders in the family to tie me back......."
"You told her to try."
Chen Xian's eyes were still on the downstairs, and it seemed that it was a very interesting thing for him to observe the pedestrians on the road at night.
"With me, no one can touch you."
