Chapter 24: The Return 2
In the past few days, there have been clouds at home and outside, which makes Wang Jie always feel a headache. My mother asked the company for a long vacation, staring at her at home every day, Lin Canghai specially talked to her, and then gave her a long vacation, she didn't have to go to work, and stared at her mother at home every day.
It's going to be winter soon, the weather is not good, it's gloomy all day, just like my mother's face these days, Wang Jie didn't dare to talk to Xiao Ye in front of her, for fear that she would nagging and chattering endlessly, and she didn't even dare to send a message to Xiao Ye in front of her, so she could only hide in her bedroom and send it secretly.
Wang Jie sent a message of apology to Xiao Ye, Xiao Han and Ye Quan, but Xiao Ye never replied. She thought that Xiao Ye was angry because of her mother's attitude towards her father, so after waiting for two days and not seeing Xiao Ye's reaction, she hid in the bedroom and made a voice call to Xiao Ye again, until the phone interface automatically popped up, and Xiao Ye did not answer.
The atmosphere in Xiao Ye's house is not very good. Enter. Go out. There is only silence when you go out, and even when you eat, there is only the sound of utensils colliding with each other. Xiao Han and Ye Quan sat opposite Xiao Ye in silence, and Ye Quan's amount of food dropped again.
Several times, Xiao Ye wanted to tell Xiao Han and Ye Quan that he would break up with Wang Jie, but every time the words came to his lips, he didn't know how to speak.
Ah Xin came home once, at that time, Xiao Han was doing nothing at home to water the white roses he planted and pruning the branches and leaves, and Ye Quan was taking a nap upstairs - Xiao Ye knew that Ye Quan had been insomnia for several days because of this incident.
Xiao Han handed over all the things to Xiao Ye, and he and Ah Xin went to the pavilion next to him, and asked in a deep voice, "You know everything?" ”
Ah Xin agreed, and after a while, said, "Maybe, I can give it a try." ”
When Wang Jie and his mother were bored watching TV at home, there was a polite knock on the door, and her mother glanced at her, and when she went to open the door, she followed in three or two steps.
Outside the door was a tall, dark-skinned man, whom Wang Jie knew, his name was Ah Xin, and he was an uncle of Xiao Ye. Ah Xin stood at the door and said in a gentle voice: "I am Xiao Han Xiao's assistant, my name is Xiao Yunxin." I can...... Talk to you? ”
……
"Mr. Xiao's father left him and his mother when Mr. Xiao was just two years old. It's because, a woman. Mr. Xiao's father likes this woman, but in fact, the real reason is that Mr. Xiao's father was poisonous at that time. The product is addictive, and the money in this woman's hand can support him. When Mr. Xiao was five years old, his mother found a wealthy businessman and left, and the two of them left while he was asleep. ”
Later, the woman heard that Mr. Xiao's father had a child, and she didn't want Mr. Xiao's father to be involved with this child, so she wanted to kill him. At that time, this woman was very powerful in society, and she quickly caught her eldest brother, who was only six years old at the time. That time, his biological father was just flattering the woman and did not intercede for him, and the eldest brother jumped into the sea and escaped, and he was seriously injured, but the most serious injury was in his heart. ”
"Since then, the eldest brother has been wandering for a long time with a child who is not yet ten years old. You may not know what life is like, but I know and have experienced it. Purgatory. There is nothing to eat, you don't have the strength to fight back when others beat you, shame has become the most extravagant thing for this kind of person, the hope of waking up the next day, and the disappointment in the hurt and pain again and again, and in the end, despair. ”
"When the eldest brother was at his most desperate, he probably thought about not resisting, and let those people kick and kick him with punches and feet until he died. However, he did not die, he survived. I don't know what made him survive that time, but I think he must have met someone. ”
"It's been many years since I met my big brother, and it wasn't in the city at that time. The eldest brother never told anyone about his past, and I never knew anything about him, until he returned to the city and took over everything about the woman in less than a month, that I slowly began to search for something about him on my own. ”
"There is a painting in the eldest brother's studio all the year round, and he never lets others into his studio. Seriously, big brother...... He never really lost his temper with anyone, although others were afraid of him, but that time, the eldest brother could barely control his emotions, he almost killed someone, and that was the first time I saw the content of that painting. ”
"On the painting, it's a boy, twelve or thirteen years old, and he's just like that on the big brother's painting, laughing all the time."
"For so many years, even if my eldest brother doesn't say it, I can feel that it is this person who has always supported him, his belief in survival."
"You may find such a union incomprehensible, but what would you do if you were the one who was in the darkness, and it was that person who brought you from the darkness to the light?" Ah Xin looked at Wang Jie's mother and continued: "People are easily disappointed, and if they are disappointed too much, they will become desperate, and there are few people in this world who have really tried the feeling of despair, so few people can understand that people in despair are more easily moved than anyone else. The eldest brother waited for many years to wait for the person he had been waiting for. ”
When he said this, the corners of Ah Xin's mouth almost miraculously curved, and he said with a smile: "The person that the eldest brother likes may change, but his belief will not." ”
On that golden afternoon under the sunset, Wang Jie accompanied his mother to listen quietly to all the things Ah Xin said, she was dumbfounded, and her mother was also dumbfounded, neither of them expected that it would be such a short but cruel experience.
Ah Xin finally said that some of these things were found by him, but there were also some things that he guessed by himself. He said that there may be some things that even Xiao Ye and Ye Quan himself don't know, and he hopes that Wang Jie and his mother will not reveal what he said today to anyone.
My mother got up very early and went out, probably to buy vegetables in a nearby supermarket, Wang Jie miraculously woke up at less than six o'clock in the morning, I didn't know what to do, I walked from the living room to the kitchen alone, from the kitchen to my bedroom, and then to the living room, back and forth several times, before going downstairs and walking aimlessly along the side of the road.
Last night, Wang Jie quarreled with her mother, which was the first time she had quarreled since she reconciled with her mother. Wang Jie doesn't remember how long she and her mother quarreled, what they each said, but she remembered that both of them quarreled fiercely, as if the two of them had returned to more than ten years ago all of a sudden, but it didn't seem to be the same as that time. I only remember that my mother later looked at the photo of my father on the wall with straight eyes and tears on her face, and said, "I can't be sorry for your dad anymore." ”
Wang Jie doesn't remember if she cried at the time, but now she remembers that the face of her mother in the living room and the photo of her father are blurry like a layer of mist, and she still remembers what she said: "If it were Dad, he wouldn't be like you, using his own prejudices against others to hurt others, he wouldn't!" ”
The bedroom door closed with a "bang", Wang Jie seemed to be awakened by the sound of himself slamming the door yesterday, and walked along the side of the road unconsciously, but suddenly laughed, smiling with tears. She felt that she was too ridiculous, because last night's quarrel was undeserved, she was too involved.
Wang Jie stretched out his hand and brushed his hair that had not been combed in the morning, and a taxi that came over probably thought she was going to take a taxi, so he drove in front of her and stopped, and the master in the car poked his head out and asked her, "Girl, where are you going?" Wang Jie didn't know where she was going, so she opened the car door and sat in the back seat, and she remembered where she was going, so she reported Haiwei's address.
When it was very late last night, Xiao Ye made a voice call to Wang Jie, it was already 00:58 in the morning, but Wang Jie hadn't slept yet, and he was curled up at the head of the bed like a little girl who was frozen, and tears flowed uncontrollably again and again. She wiped a handful of tears from her face, and a hoarse voice came from her dry, aching and tight throat: "Hey? ”
Xiao Ye over there was silent for a long time before he said two words: "Xiaojie ......" His voice was very low and deep, and it was also hoarse, and then there was endless silence, and after a few minutes, he hung up the phone.
Wang Jie arrived at the general manager's office, he didn't see Xiao Ye, Assistant Li was tidying up things in the office, and when he saw her come in, he smiled at her very professionally: "Mr. Wang." ”
Wang Jie didn't react that she was calling herself, or didn't hear her calling herself, her eyes looked straight at the chair behind Xiao Ye's desk, and asked Assistant Li, "Xiao Ye, didn't you come to the company today?" ”
Assistant Li paused what he was doing, but still smiled at her professionally and said, "Mr. Xiao has already gone to the meeting, do you want to wait for him here?" Or, is there anything I need to convey to him? ”
Wang Jie came back to his senses in a daze, and looked down at the ground: "Oh, it's nothing, Sister Li doesn't need to bother." ”
Xiao Ye didn't go to the meeting at all, when Wang Jie came, he avoided it, and he didn't know how to face Wang Jie now. On the phone call last night, in fact, he wanted to say to Wang Jie, "Don't go on", but when the words came to his lips, he couldn't say it again, not only because of Xiao Han and Ye Quan, but also because of Wang Jie's feelings, he understood that this kind of injury was tantamount to punishment for himself or her.
Ye Quan hadn't been to Rose for many days, because of his body. Xiao Han was not worried that he was alone at home, so he handed over part of Lishi's affairs to Qianyue to deal with, and he accompanied Ye Quan at home.
In the evening, Xiao Ye came back, but he didn't see Xiao Han and Ye Quan in the living room, he knew that they wouldn't be in the bedroom at this time, so he walked to the collection room. When he was halfway up the stairs, he saw Xiao Han and Ye Quan next to each other, sitting on the sofa with their backs to him, and an episode of "SpongeBob SquarePants" was playing on the screen in front of him.
Xiao Han said: "Don't think about it so much, it's okay, Ah Xin has already gone to talk to them." ”
Ye Quan's deep and tired voice said, "Old Xiao, really...... Is it our problem? ”
Xiao Han sat up with him a little, faced each other, and said with a solemn face: "No, it's their problem." ”
