Chapter 51: The Mournful Family
"Zheng Xichen, don't get too carried away!" Isn't that Kwon Ye's girlfriend? Sooner or later, she will let this little vixen know that she will always be the only one who is truly qualified to be Quan Ye's girlfriend! Only she is qualified to be Kwon Go's mother!
"I'm just telling the truth."
Zhang Xiaorong glared at Zheng Xichen viciously, the more she looked at that lotus-like face, the more angry she became, and the more she looked at it, the more she couldn't figure it out.
Isn't it just that better looking than yourself? What could she be better than herself but that face? I really don't know why Kwon Ye was blind and let such a woman be his girlfriend!
I think that at the beginning, one Yan Yi was enough, Yan Yi couldn't be compared, but why couldn't she compare to a Zheng Xichen?
The more Zhang Xiaorong thought about it, the more angry she became, but as if she was thinking about something, she quickly controlled her irritable emotions: "Whatever you say, anyway, you'll be so proud for a few days!" Hum! ”
As Zhang Xiaorong shook her head and left, Zheng Xichen's tense nerves finally relaxed at that moment, and he sat on the sofa in one breath, but he still had to pretend that he had nothing to do, and raised his tired hand to clean up the toilet paper that was torn by Zhang Xiaorong on the table, as if he was cleaning up his already tired heart.
"Miss Zheng, if you're too tired, go back to your room with the little master to rest, and I'll clean it up here." The housekeeper really couldn't stand Zheng Xichen's tired appearance, and couldn't help but ask.
"That's right, Sister Xichen, let's go back to the room together."
Quan Guo looked at his slightly pale cheeks in distress, and pouted.
However, for the housekeeper and Quan Guo's concern, Zheng Xichen only shook his head slightly.
"I really don't have anything to do, Guoguo, you go and rest first, and my sister will come up later." Immediately, Zheng Xichen looked at the housekeeper again and continued: "Butler, you should also go and busy yourself first, I'm really fine." ”
"But ......"
"Guoguo is obedient, don't you want your mother to see your obedient appearance?" Zheng Xichen's always gentle face became solemn, which made Quan Guo feel even more uncomfortable.
But when I wanted to say when, a pair of Zheng Xichen's deep eyes swallowed the words that came to his lips, and reluctantly returned to his room.
"Miss Zheng, little master, this is just because I'm worried about you." The butler's wrinkled face revealed a touch of the elder's kindness, in his eyes, whether it was Quan Ye or Quan Guo, they were excellent children.
Although Zheng Xichen even said that he couldn't compare to the two of them in all aspects, everything he received since he was a child was different.
But in Fangcai, Zheng Xichen's performance made him sigh secretly.
She was just a little girl, living in such a family since she was a child, and when she grew up, she went to the hospital for her own persistence, but she was only a small intern, and she was also burdened with a huge family loan shark debt.
When she came to the Quan family, she had to face all kinds of difficulties from other upper-class ladies, and she didn't need to face all this.
"I know, I don't want him to be a little kid like me...... "become as unbearable as me."
Zheng Xichen's hands trembled slightly, and the glowing mobile phone screen in her pocket pulled her back from reality.
Is it Zifeng?
Zheng Xichen's heart, which had been stiff for a long time, finally stirred, and eagerly picked up the phone, but the moment he saw the text displayed on it, the heart that had finally been stirred up cooled down in that instant.
"Dad......"
"Eh, Xichen, these days...... Are you doing? Zheng Guoan asked hesitantly on the other end of the phone.
Zheng Xichen's nose was slightly sour, how could she not know why her father, who had always been just asking for money, spoke like this? I'm afraid it's to borrow money again, but because they have already moved out, they can't find themselves, and after asking the landlord, they know that they can't afford the rent and move away, right?
I can't find myself, so I call myself, and I don't know if I'm really worried about myself or because I'm afraid that I won't be able to find her in the future, so I don't have a free wallet for them to use.
"Hmm...... It's okay. Zheng Xichen curled the corners of her mouth bitterly, God knows how difficult it was for her to say this sentence every time.
How's it going? Is she doing well?
As soon as Zheng Guoan heard her say this, he also knew that he owed his daughter too much, and he didn't know how to speak for a while.
"That's right...... Then you should rest early. ”
"What's the early rest? You didn't even get down to business! Li Li angrily snatched the mobile phone from Zheng Guoan's hand and shouted: "Do you really think that your little salary is enough to pay us back?" Others said again that they have to pay an extra 2,000 yuan this month, otherwise they will have to increase the interest! ”
"As a daughter, you also know that our family doesn't have any money, why can't you pay more attention to the finance to advance a few thousand dollars?"
The more Li Li spoke, the more excited she became, and Zheng Xichen could hear her scolding Zheng Guoan here: "Don't push me!" Am I not telling the truth? Shouldn't she, as a member of the family, contribute this money? I don't know what you think, let her rest without talking about business? What is the use of resting? Can you take a break for two thousand dollars? ”
"But! We've ......"
"What is already there? Do you still want to speak for her? Li Li finished scolding Zheng Guoan, turned her head and continued to say to Zheng Xichen: "Did you hear that?" When to pay money, you can say it directly! Or you send me your current address, and we'll get it for you when the time comes! ”
Zheng Xichen couldn't help but snort coldly in his heart, and his voice was a little obscure: "Don't you even have two thousand yuan?" ”
"Hey, what do you mean by that?" Li Li became angry when she heard this: "You mean, oh, shouldn't we ask you for money?" Do you think of us as your parents? ”
"Anyway, you can figure it out for yourself, whether to send us money directly or tell us the address! Anyway, others are urging them these days! ”
The more Li Li spoke, the more impatient she became, obviously Zheng Xichen was not her own daughter, but she called Zheng Xichen like her own daughter, which sounded really ironic.
"The hospital can't advance the salary, if you can slow down......"
Before Zheng Xichen finished speaking, Li Li interrupted impatiently: "Slowly? Do we need to call you if we can slow down? If you don't want to give it, just say it! Why beat around the bush like this? By the way, didn't you ask the landlord to return the money to you when you left? What about your money? ”
"Won't I have to pay for it when I move out?" Zheng Xichen's heart was full of coldness, she knew that Li Li was unreasonable, but she never thought that she would be unreasonable to this extent.
"Oh, are you blaming me?" The more Li Li spoke, the more excited she became, and she didn't even want to listen to Zheng Xichen: "Just say that!" Do you give money or not? If you still treat your dad and me as parents, hurry up! Or send us your address! We're coming for you! ”
"I can't tell you the address, but ......" Zheng Xichen was about to explain, but she heard a sudden busy voice on the other end of the phone, cold lingering in her ears, and the beeps made her heart more and more frightened.
Then the phone suddenly trembled again, and a few short words on a text message pierced her already tired heart.
"Unfilial daughter!"
"Miss Zheng? Are you okay? The housekeeper has always been by Zheng Xichen's side and has not left, although he doesn't know what was said on the other side of the phone, but judging from Zheng Xichen's sparse words, he still vaguely guessed something.
Zheng Xichen took a deep breath and raised a big smile towards the housekeeper, "It's okay, Mr. Housekeeper, if you are busy with anything else, go ahead first, I will clean up the things here and go to Quan Guo's room." ”
The butler hesitated, but still nodded: "Okay." ”
After the housekeeper left, Zheng Xichen silently curled himself up into a ball like an injured child, hugged his legs tightly, and leaned against the innermost corner of the sofa.
The words "unfilial girl" on the mobile phone coldly pierced her sparse and bloodshot eyes, who can understand the blockage in her heart?
If she was not filial, would she have been running for her family's debts for so many years? Why could that woman still say such a thing to herself? Was she blind before?
All the good things about Zheng Xichen are taken for granted in Li Li's eyes, and even helping her repay the money has become a matter of course.
Yes, you are our daughter, even if you are not your own, but you are also a daughter, and you are also a member of the family.
Whenever Li Li said this, Zheng Xichen really wanted to refute, but he was always speechless.
The vicissitudes of Zheng Guoan's face that became clearer and clearer over and over again appeared in his mind, and Zheng Xichen would say to himself in his heart every time he wanted to give up: "No, Dad finally pulled himself up, how could he be defeated because of such a small setback?" ”
But even so, she is a girl after all, and she also wants to have her own life and give herself a little breathing space.
The hot liquid slowly slid down her cheeks with a little salty wetness, and her heart suddenly throbbed.
Why did she have to endure this? Is she really like what Zhang Xiaorong said, a lowly woman who is nothing?
In the dark shadows, the butler looked at the trembling people on the sofa, and a touch of unbearability flashed in his gray eyes.
"Alas...... That's the reality, isn't it? Miss Cheng. ”
