Chapter 116: Quarrel at dinner
Su Yuebai walked back to her place and sat down, folded her hands, and looked at Gu Tingchen: "So, what do you want me to do, resign and go home, and be a competent young grandmother?" ”
Gu Tingchen's expression was solemn: "How do you want to deal with this matter?" If you continue like this, it will only cause psychological problems for the two children. ”
She lowered her head, thought for a moment, then looked up and said, "I can't quit now." The project is more than halfway through, and it will be completed in half a month. After that, the magazine officially cooperated with well-known foreign media......"
Before Su Yuebai finished speaking, he was interrupted by Gu Tingchen: "It means that your overtime state will continue for half a month?" Half a month later? With so many media outlets, is your workload greater than before? I told you, your magazine has a problem, I don't buy it, someone else might buy it......"
She began to get emotional, and before Gu Tingchen could finish what he was going to say, she raised her voice and said, "So what? Speaking of which, you don't want me to resign? Before I got married, the people of your Gu family began to order me to resign, and now they have colluded with two children to force me? ”
Gu Tingchen was originally holding coffee, but after hearing her say such a thing, he slammed the coffee cup in his hand back to the coffee table: "Collusion with two children? Do you think my mom and I taught our two kids to say that? ”
"Isn't it? My first two children have always supported me unconditionally! They will never let me quit, nor will they say that I am asking for trouble and suffering by working hard, because they know that I used to work hard and raise them by myself! If I didn't have a job, they would have starved to death. ”
After Su Yuebai said these words, her chest rose and fell violently. After a few moments, she picked up the glass of water in her hand again and slurped from it.
Gu Tingchen's eyes showed a bit of helplessness, and his tone contained pity: "I know that you raised two children alone before and suffered a little. But now the situation is different, this family has me, and you don't have to worry about the economy at all. I can give you as much money as you want a month, and I will ask the maid to buy whatever you and your children want......"
"You don't understand, you never understood my thoughts!" Su Yuebai Huoran stood up, looking excited, "Am I working for that salary?" I am here to realize my self-worth, which is what I want Su Yuebai to do the most! I don't want to be like other women, my life will only revolve around her husband and children, and others will only say whose wife she is, but they will not remember her name. ”
Gu Tingchen also stood up, took a few steps forward, and approached her: "Why don't I understand?" It's you who don't understand, you have to drill the horns! There are so many things you can do to realize your self-worth, I just want you to spend more time with your children and find a balance between family and work. ”
Speaking of this, Gu Tingchen held her shoulders and looked at her for a moment: "What you have to do now is to resign from the position of editor-in-chief of the magazine and go home to rest." ”
Su Yuebai broke free of his hands: "I said it, I won't resign." ”
With that, she turned and walked back to the back room.
Gu Tingchen followed behind her: "Yuebai ......"
Su Yuebai's footsteps didn't stop: "I don't want to quarrel with you anymore, I'm tired and need to rest." ”
Gu Tingchen stopped and returned to the sofa with a gloomy expression and sat down.
Su Yuebai slept until dusk after returning from overtime as usual. She got up, and as soon as she opened the door and walked out of the bedroom, a maid came over: "Mrs. Gu, it's time for dinner." Today, Mr. Gu specially instructed us to make the dishes you like to eat. ”
After listening to the maid's words, her expression was a little gloomy, and she just wanted to speak, but she heard the servant ask, "Mrs. Gu, are you uncomfortable?" Look at your face suddenly changed. ”
Su Yuebai quickly shook her head and smiled at the maid: "I'm fine, I'll go to dinner after washing." ”
When she arrived at the dining room, she found that the whole family was already sitting at the dining table.
"Yuebai, you're awake, come over and eat." When Zhao Lin saw her, he beckoned.
Su Yuebai smiled politely at Zhao Lin, and then walked to the position next to Su Xiaobai and sat down. Usually when she eats, she sits next to Gu Tingchen, but recently she has had an awkward relationship with Gu Tingchen, so she doesn't want to get too close to him.
Gu Tingchen obviously noticed that she was deliberately distancing herself from herself. At that moment, his eyes flickered, but he didn't say anything, just took the soup bowl, filled the bowl of soup to Zhao Lin, and then served the bowl of soup to Su Yuebai.
Su Yuebai lowered her head, ate the meal in silence for a while, and Su Xiaobai's voice sounded in her ears: "Mom, do you have to work overtime next?" ”
She raised her head and looked at Su Xiaobai: "Maybe it will take another half a month." What's wrong? ”
Su Xiaobai pursed his lips and said a little unhappily: "It's nothing, I just want my mother to accompany me." Moreover, we don't want my mother to work so hard. Resign, okay? We have a dad now, so you don't have to work so hard. "Quick Eye 123
After Su Yuebai listened to her words, a strong sense of displeasure surged in her heart. She put down her chopsticks with a snap, looked at Su Xiaobai and asked, "Xiaobai, who taught you to say that?" ”
When Su Xiaobai saw Su Yuebai's serious face, she became a little frightened, and replied to her timidly: "No one teaches me." It's my own thoughts. ”
Su Yuebai lowered her eyes, picked up her chopsticks and just wanted to eat, but heard Zhao Lin say, "Yuebai, what do you mean by this?" Do you mean that Tingchen and I instigated the two children to make you resign? ”
Her hand holding vegetables paused in mid-air, then retracted and turned her head to look at Zhao Lin: "Yes, mother-in-law, that's what I meant." What do two children understand? If it weren't for you speaking ill of me in front of them, how could they say that about me? ”
As soon as her words fell, Su Dabai spoke: "Mom, you have wronged grandma and father." They really didn't tell us anything, Xiaobai and I just thought you were working too much overtime. One is concerned about your body, and the other is really hoping that you can accompany me and Xiaobai more. Especially Xiaobai, she really misses you. ”
Su Yuebai looked at Su Dabai and said in a serious tone: "But, as you know, it's impossible for my mother to give up her job. ”
As soon as she finished saying this, Zhao Lin said with some excitement: "Why can't you?" It's because Tingchen was used to you before you got married, so you want to go to the office to be a small white-collar worker with a meager salary, is it important to have a family at work? Your husband and children have asked you to take care of the family, why are you so stubborn? ”
Su Yuebai bit her lip, suppressed the emotions in her heart, and then gently put down her chopsticks and stood up: "You guys eat, I'm already full." ”
When she stood up, her eyes caught a glimpse of Gu Tingchen opposite, who was looking at herself with a frown.
Su Yuebai's gaze swept indifferently over Gu Tingchen's face, and then she turned around and walked out of the dining room.
After Su Yuebai left the dining room, Zhao Lin said to Gu Tingchen: "Tingchen, I think you are too fond of Yuebai, so I got used to her stinky temper." ”
Gu Tingchen looked at his mother: "She has been working a lot of overtime recently, and her temper is inevitably a little irritable, no wonder her." To resign as a young grandmother, you have to persuade her slowly. Speaking of this, he shook his head, "It's just that her temper should be changed, in front of your face, just throw off her temper and leave." ”
"Dad, grandma, my brother and I all hope that my mother will quit and come home. Other people's mothers are like this, why aren't our mothers like this? Su Xiaobai's milky voice sounded.
As soon as Gu Tingchen wanted to say something, Zhao Lin got up and walked to Su Xiaobai's side and hugged her: "Yes, Xiaobai is right, why can't Yuebai be like someone else's mother?" ”
Su Dabai turned his head to look at Gu Tingchen at this time: "Dad, you can persuade Mom." I don't really understand why she has to be so stubborn in doing her job. ”
Gu Tingchen pondered for a while, then stood up: "I'll go talk to her." ”
Gu Tingchen went to the bedroom from the dining room and found Su Yuebai standing in front of the window, looking out of the window.
"Yuebai, let's calm down and talk about the recent things." Gu Tingchen walked to her side as he spoke.
He looked at Su Yuebai and found that she had a gloomy expression. Perhaps because she has been too tired from work lately, her face looks a little pale. In the dining room before, there was a goose yellow light, and Gu Tingchen didn't notice that her face was so bad.
"Yuebai, your face looks so bad, are you okay?" Gu Tingchen said, reaching out and gently pulling Su Yuebai over, letting her face him.
Su Yuebai looked at him, her eyes intertwined with complicated emotions: "Your father called me just now." He asked me in a fierce tone, when did I resign from the editor-in-chief of the magazine? He also said that the scandal about me in the media has brought shame to the Gu family. ”
Gu Tingchen frowned: "Regarding the scandal, I will ask my subordinates to go to public relations." It's the little things. ”
Su Yuebai stretched out his hand and removed the hand he placed on his shoulders: "What's the matter with you Gu family?" Are they all so selfish and arrogant? If I marry you Gu Tingchen, can't I even do the job I like? ”
Gu Tingchen just wanted to speak, but he heard Su Yuebai say again: "You must let me resign, let me resign if I work more overtime, and make me resign because of the scandal." There are scandals because foreign media are promoting to enter the domestic market, they are intentional, can't you see such a simple thing? ”
Gu Tingchen's expression became a little condensed, he reached out and grabbed Su Yuebai's wrist, and then walked to the sofa: "Come here, sit down, let's talk calmly." ”
Su Yuebai followed him and walked to the soft leather sofa. Gu Tingchen pointed to the sofa: "Sit down first, I'll ask the maid to give you a hot cup of milk, and we'll talk about it when you finish drinking the milk." ”
