Chapter VIII: Contradiction 2
The treacherous smile on Zhang Mingrui's face made people angry when they looked at it, Yao Nanping shot in front of Mingrui like an arrow, and pinched Mingrui's arm tightly with her hand. Yao Nanping shook her head, her eyes throwing out a distress signal.
Mrs. Lu walked slowly with a cane:
"What the hell are you guys doing! Zhang Yisheng, who! ”
Zhang Mingyao showed a bright smile, she glanced at her mother, and walked over to help her grandmother. Two black sedans not far away stopped, and it was time for them to go.
Zhang Mingyao tried to help her grandmother get into the car, but was thrown by Mrs. Lu, who was almost thrown to the ground by her recoil. She stumbled, took two steps on her hind legs, and finally stabilized. After a pause, she cried out almost in humiliation:
"When a person is old, it is a disgrace! The son is gone, and the grandchildren are indifferent..."
Ming Rui and Ming Yao quietly walked in the direction of the car. They have long learned the trick of being brutal and softening with tears. The old man in front of him is still too outdated.
Mrs. Lu trembled and followed behind them, asking, Yao Nanping came to the end, frightened, and was rapidly constructing an answer that could deal with this old woman!
Zhang Mingyao looked at his younger brother, Mingrui smiled impatiently, and retreated to the back to support his grandmother. He began to make small talk, distracting:
"Grandma, how did you and Grandpa reconcile back then?"
"What is this for?" Mrs. Lu's memory still drifted into the distance, as if she was trying to remember.
"Ying'er messed with me, we... Now separated. Zhang Mingrui was very appropriately emotional, showing an uneasy and distressed look, and he changed the topic.
Mrs. Lu pondered for a moment and then continued:
"How did it happen! What about the children, how are they? You are a man, and you can tolerate everything, but you have to see it..."
Zhang Mingyao turned around and glanced at her mother, and Yao Nanping's crisis was temporarily lifted. When she got into the car, Mrs. Lu sat in one by herself, and Yao Nanping took the opportunity to get into Ming Yao and Ming Rui's car.
The sister and brother were chatting about the issue of agency litigation: "The government's approval documents have been approved, but at the time of the patent review, a local leading company in Canada said that it had developed a drug with the same function a month earlier and sued us..."
"How can it be so coincidental!"
Yao Nanping interrupted impatiently:
"How do you know about Zhang Yisheng?"
The sister and brother looked at their mother in a daze, and Yao Nanping reacted to herself: "You... If there is anything in the future, you can ask me directly. Everyone has privacy and I don't like being investigated! ”
Zhang Mingyao sneered, it seemed that this kind of mother made people feel familiar: "Mom, you..."
Yao Nanping: "Since you call me Mom, then I should teach you..."
Zhang Mingyao immediately stopped: "It's just a title, why do you bother to put it on the shelf!" Zhang Yisheng: No matter whose son it is, we don't care. Settle down and don't stir up grandma. A lot of age, you tossed and fell apart, who is responsible! ”
Yao Nanping looked like she had been nailed to her seat, and she turned her head with difficulty to look at the driver.
Zhang Mingrui: "Don't worry, keep it confidential!" ”
Yao Nanping sorted out her emotions, turned her head to look ahead, as if answering: "Many things are not as you seem on the surface... Straightforward. ”
Ming Yao recalled that that night, her grandmother talked to her about her parents at home. On that rainy night with thunder and lightning, Ming Yao curled up and hid under the covers, and when she urgently needed her grandmother to be appeased, her grandmother said.
"You are a disgrace to them, a disgrace to them..."
Zhang Mingyao looked sideways at the scenery outside the window, she should be grateful to her grandmother, since then, Mingyao has never been afraid of thunder and lightning. She said unconsciously: "Mom, except for the fact that Dad forced you to give birth to me, this factor... Do you have any other reason to hate me? ”
Zhang Mingrui listened calmly, he knew that this day was always coming, but he didn't expect it to be at this funeral.
Yao Nanping: "There is also guilt, for you... When you were in a mental hospital..."
Zhang Mingyao: "That's called psychological counseling therapy!" Ming Yao angrily stopped Yao Nanping, the woman in front of her was left with only endless pain and unbearable darkness.
"It's recuperation!" Zhang Mingyao muttered another sentence to himself.
Yao Nanping didn't seem to care, she touched her hair proudly. This daughter, she knows best. soft-hearted and easy to control, eager to be loved, indecisive, although she seems to be very decisive on the surface, Yao Nanping always has a way to make Ming Yao's inner defense collapse.
"It's your brother after all, there should be something about him in the will!"
Zhang Mingrui looked at her sister, her eyes were now confused, her legs were shaking, she was not suitable to deal with this situation. Mingrui patted his sister's hand, calmly pulled out a bottle of mineral water on Yao Nanping's back seat, unscrewed it, and splashed it on Yao Nanping's hair as if he was painting a splash of ink. A series of movements, coherent and natural.
"You go and ask Dad, he agrees, and we'll give it to him!"
