Chapter 1 Splendid and Lonely
"In this world, there are no perfect people, but there is a perfect team! It is the efforts of all of us that have made our team achieve excellent results in the past year, and I hope that everyone will make persistent efforts to witness our performance and become a miracle in the industry! Thank you! β
When Qi Siyue pushed open the door with a little drunkenness, the applause she heard on the podium echoed in her mind.
Four years ago, she was transferred because of pregnancy, and she resolutely resigned as soon as her child reached the age of three and was breastfeeding, rushing from a comfortable and idle clerk to a bloody sales circle, from fighting alone to leading the team, from the cynicism of others to the envy and jealousy of others, she went all the way, and finally came to the top of this circle.
BIG's Sales Champion of the Year, the next Marketing Director, and the youngest female executive in the country...... Flowers and halos, glory and the future, all in front of you.
Although her stomach cramped slightly because she was hungry all night in a close-fitting dress, Qi Siyue breathed a sigh of relief when she took off her high heels in the hallway.
"You still know to come back? Do you think of this as a home or a hotel? β
A sharp female voice came from the back room, and the raised tone pierced Qi Siyue's eardrums fiercely, making her frown, and raised her eyes to look at her mother-in-law who had been living since she came to see a doctor a year ago, and pressed her heart.
"Mom, be quiet, it's time for An Ran to sleep, right?"
"Do you still know Enron? If you don't live at home all day, you don't even know that your child is sick, do you still look like a mother? β
Mother-in-law Zhao Guilan smashed the medical records in her hand towards Qi Siyue, sat on the big sofa in the living room, and began to cry.
"What kind of sin is our Lao Lin family doing, marrying a daughter-in-law and coming back home, raising the good baby grandchildren into fools......"
"Fools?"
Catching the medical record as soon as possible, the sharp hard corner of the brown paper bag still touched the forehead, but the physical pain was far less than the psychological pain caused by these two words, which made Qi Siyue tremble like a thunderbolt, and even the hand that opened the medical record trembled.
"How could Enron get sick? Didn't it be fine before......"
"Before? Have you ever managed him before? Running outside all day, except for coming back to sleep, do you think this is your home? Have you ever taken care of a child? β
The mother-in-law's mouth was like a cannonball, crackling and counting, Qi Siyue, who was under no pressure on hundreds of people in the company, was bent down a little bit at the moment, and the joy of winning the previous achievements and honors was gone, and even her vision was blurred by a strong sense of guilt, and she was foggy, but she could still clearly see the dazzling conclusion on the diagnosis.
"Diagnosis: Autism Spectrum Disorder"
"Autism? How so? Enron ...... Enron! β
Qi Siyue's brain was buzzing, and she still couldn't hear what her mother-in-law was yelling at the side, so she just grabbed the piece of paper so hard that she forgot to put on her slippers and staggered into the children's room.
"Enron?"
As soon as she opened the door and saw that it was dark inside, Qi Siyue immediately covered her mouth, almost forgetting that it was already zero o'clock when the celebration banquet was over, and now the child should have gone to bed......
It's too presumptuous, and losing your mind like this will only make the situation worse.
Qi Siyue stood at the door of her son's room, looking at the small figure on the children's bed by the light from the door, her heart was sore and painful, she walked in slowly with bare feet, sat down on the floor at the head of the bed, lay on his pillow, almost face to face, looking at the little life she was pregnant with in October, and the noisy screams and scolding outside the door seemed to be far away at this moment.
Even if there was only a little light in the crack of the door, his little face was still white and shiny, with a small nose, a small mouth, closed eyes, and long eyelashes trembling slightly...... Trembling like butterfly wings, they flickered open, revealing the black and white eyes inside, looking at her quietly.
Quiet, calm, indifferent...... Without a trace of emotion, like a lifeless doll.
Qi Siyue only felt a stalk in her throat, as if she was plugged by something.
"Enron ......"
I forget when she started, when she was busy with work, when she saw her son quietly staying by herself, she would praise him for being good and obedient...... Even when talking to other mothers about their children, they will be proud of his "obedient" and "well-behaved", and think that she is a successful woman who has both family and career.
But now, the truth slapped her hard.
The child is not obedient and well-behaved, but he is not obedient at all, does not hear her, and cannot enter her world.
He was right in front of him, but he was far away.
Autism, Autism, Star Kids...... The relevant information that she had seen in film and television dramas and the Internet came to mind, and Qi Siyue couldn't believe that these legendary cases that she thought were far away would actually fall on her children.
"Enron...... Don't be afraid...... Mom is here...... I'll be with you ......"
She reached out with a sad hand to hug him, but just touched his shoulder, but she heard an extremely piercing scream, followed by a kick, and before she could react, the child screamed hoarsely and struggled like a frightened rabbit.
"Ahh Yes! βββ
"What are you messing with him for?"
Zhao Guilan rushed in from the door, pulled Qi Siyue away, dragged her out of the door in three or two clicks, and closed the door heavily, "Don't let people sleep at night?" β
"Let me in!" Qi Siyue broke free of her hand and pushed the door hard, "An Ran must be scared, I'm going to accompany him!" β
"Accompany what? What did you do earlier? He doesn't let anyone accompany him at all now! β
Zhao Guilan looked at her embarrassed appearance, and felt a kind of happiness inexplicably. From the time she lived in her son's house, she knew that most of the family's income depended on her daughter-in-law, and she felt an indescribable sense of grievance. It doesn't count if she doesn't live at home all day, she said that people simply spend money on housekeeping, and they don't care about her mother-in-law's authority at all.
Especially when she was sick, Qi Siyue did not hesitate to take out more than 100,000 handling fees, and also hired a 24-hour nurse to take care of her......
It's okay now, busy with work, busy with work, no matter how much money she makes, it's her fault that her son is sick and stupid!
She glared at Qi Siyue viciously, and said with a bit of schadenfreude: "Even if you go in, he won't know you...... The doctor said that he couldn't recognize people at all because of his illness, and he wouldn't recognize people...... If you want to blame you, I didn't accompany him for a long time, and now he is stupid, and I don't want you anymore! β
"Nope! βββ
Qi Siyue shook her off and pushed open the door, but she fell to the ground because of too much force, and her knees hurt, so she could only crawl forward a few steps forward and pounce on the side of the bed, desperately hugging An Ran, letting him punch and kick herself, and refusing to let go.
"Enron, Enron! I'm a mother! Look, I'm your motherβ"
The child continued to scream in spite of it, and as she held her tightly and couldn't move, she screamed louder and louder.
Qi Siyue's heart ached and couldn't help herself, she couldn't feel the pain he hit on her body at all, and even when he opened his mouth and bit her arm, she refused to let go, for fear that once she let go, she would not be able to catch him at all.
"Ahhhhh
He screamed, suddenly convulsed, rolled his eyes, and stalked his neck back, his small body trembled, so frightened that Qi Siyue hugged him and immediately got up and ran out.
"Enron, what's wrong with you? Don't scare your mother! β
Zhao Guilan was scolding, and when she saw Qi Siyue running out in a panic with her son in her arms, she was also startled, "What's wrong with Enron?" Why are you scaring him again? β
Qi Siyue was in a mess, where did she have the heart to argue with her, and hurriedly ran towards the door, "I'm going to take him to the hospital-"
As soon as he ran to the door, the door was opened, Lin Xiangyu walked in with his suitcase, and was startled when he saw her appearance head-on, "What's the matter?" β
Qi Siyue couldn't help crying when she saw her husband finally come back, "An Ran, An Ran is sick!" Mom said he had autism......"
Lin Xiangyu took his son from her, glanced at the pajamas he was wearing, and then saw that the small dress on his body was wrinkled, there were still blood-colored tooth marks on his arms, and Qi Siyue, who was barefoot and had messy hair, jumped fiercely with the green tendons on his forehead.
"You go change your clothes, put on your shoes, and drive to the hospital."
Qi Siyue nodded in a panic, rushed back to the bedroom to change into simple clothes as fast as she could, tied her hair into a ponytail, and then ran back to the door to put on her sneakers, just when she saw Lin Xiangyu holding the child in one hand and the medical record in the other, listening to Zhao Guilan's chatter.
She didn't have to listen, she didn't have to ask, she could imagine what her mother-in-law was saying to him.
It was she who was because of her negligence and her carelessness that would make her son suffer from such a powerless and helpless disease.
She couldn't refute it, she couldn't appeal.
When he arrived at the garage, Lin Xiangyu was about to get into the car with his son in his arms, when he suddenly glanced at Qi Siyue, "Have you been drinking?" β
Qi Siyue nodded, "Tonight is the company's annual meeting, and I won the annual sales championship......" But the joy brought by these honors is now gone, and there is even an indescribable discomfort, especially when I see my son who is wrapped in a small blanket and shrunk into a ball, I am even more distressed.
"You sit in the back with Enron, and I'll drive." Lin Xiangyu motioned for her to get in the car first, and then handed Lin Anran to her.
At this time, An Ran seemed to be tired of shouting, and her convulsions were much lighter, but her eyes were still empty and indifferent, gnawing on her fingernails, ignoring her existence at all.
In the past, she was pleased that he was quiet and obedient and not clingy, but now she sees that he seems to be independent in his own world, completely isolated from her, but she would rather cry and shout and stick to himself, as if he couldn't leave her baby for a minute or a second.
However, there is never a regret medicine in the world, and just as if it is always just if, yesterday will never be repeated.
