"Sir, your girlfriend is so happy. You will receive flowers every week. ”

The flower shop owner smiled, and Liao Yunfan also smiled lightly.

"Not for girlfriends."

"Oh? Is it for Madame? Look at the time you write on the card, 'To the one you love the most'. You put it away. ”

Liao Yunfan politely took a large bouquet of white roses. He nodded politely at the florist owner.

The charm of an elegant mature man fascinates the older single boss a lot.

……

"Mom, I brought my dad to see you."

Liao Yunfan dragged his mentally disturbed father to his mother's grave.

In the last days of my mother's life, I was extremely poor. A wife from an eldest lady who has never done any rough work. The family has no financial resources, and they are banned from looking for jobs everywhere. During the day, he worked as a temporary worker in a factory, and at night he traveled to all corners of the city, working as a tutor to supplement his family.

In order to save money, I learned to ride a bicycle and fell with a blue nose and swollen face. I ride more than 20 kilometers a day to and from my family. When I got home, I cooked and did laundry for my son. I was busy until two or three o'clock in the morning before I could go to bed. I had to get up again at six o'clock the next morning.

In the end, he died of overwork.

His mother's thin body, gray hair, and increasingly rickety back are all of Liao Yunfan's impressions.

And everything her mother did was worth it, Liao Yunfan went to the best school, and won a scholarship from Dartmouth as an undergraduate, specializing in finance.

After graduating with a master's degree, he made a name for himself on Wall Street. To comfort the mother's soul in the sky, the only way to do it is to work frantically day and night.

"Mom, this is the flower that my dad and I picked out for you."

A bouquet of snow-white roses, wrapped in soft pink and gray frosted paper, is sober and holy.

"Dad...... Father! This can't be eaten. ”

Liao Shikai grabbed the petals and stuffed them into his mouth, chewing them with relish.

Looking at his deceased mother and crazy father, Liao Yunfan sat on the stone steps next to the tombstone.

The wounds of the past can no longer be erased. In the future, my father's life will also be taken care of by himself. And his sister Yunxin is still in contact with Qiao's family.

Every time he thought about this, he was heartbroken. is also thinking about it, it's time to tell Liao Yunxin the truth.

"Phew! Bah! Bah! ”

Liao Shikai, who ate the flowers, felt bitter in his mouth and vomited the entire tombstone.

Liao Yunfan hurriedly went up and wiped his mother's photo again with a hand towel. Things are not people, and the only thing their Liao family can rely on now is him.

Just finished wiping the tombstone, Liao Shikai was on the grave again, urinating on the ground.

"What are you doing, Dad! She's your wife, he's your wife! No matter how crazy you are, you can't forget her! You know how much she has suffered for you? You have been away from home for so many years, it is all because of her, I have not died, you should wake up and look at her...... Father! I beg you, sober up. ”

Liao Shikai knelt on his knees in front of his mother's grave, crying and begging his father.

Liao Shikai walked away slowly like a naughty boy. Holding the bouquet of white roses, he chewed frantically.

The thorn of the rose pierced his lips. He didn't care.

Liao Yunfan was about to collapse, he rarely lost control of his emotions, and he thought he had been able to deal with all kinds of emotional scars. But since his father picked him up, he has become more and more out of control.

I often can't help but lose my temper.

But every time I lose my temper with my father, I fall into deep self-blame. He's already suffered so much, why can't he be forgiven.

He is not a normal person, but how Liao Yunfan hopes that his father is not crazy and will regain his strength with him.

"Qiao's family, everything is because of Qiao's family"

Liao Yunfan snatched the rose in his father's hand and threw it away, far away. People will grow old and their memories will fade, but their pain will increase and decrease. He had to pick up the pace and couldn't wait any longer.

"Ahhh Liwen! Liwen! ”

Liao Shikai chased after the bouquet of flowers that were thrown away and almost fell down the steps.

Memories of the past appear sporadically, and from time to time a little bit wells up in my mind.

When he was young, his wife often ridiculed him for being a merry and talented man, loving flowers too much, and being an out-and-out nymphomaniac. So he picked the white roses from the garden, put them in his mouth and chewed them, and tasted them with relish, like tasting a delicacy.

"Dad, do you remember Liwen? Gu Liwen, it's your wife, my mother. She lives there, and we'll come to see her next time. All right? ”

Liao Yunfan pointed to the tombstone behind him.

Liao Shikai's eyes looked in the direction his son pointed, and tears flowed out of his eyes, and he couldn't stop it.

Years of suffering come to mind. I can't remember the specific fragment, but the pain is so real.

……

"Wen Han, next Wednesday is my mother's birthday, you haven't forgotten it."

Su Chenfeng's early morning call almost didn't startle Qiao Wenhan's wake-up anger.

"Well, I haven't forgotten, you have set a place, and I'll take An Xiaoxi with you."

Hearing An Xiaoxi's name, Su Chenfeng couldn't help but feel nervous. Although, the possibility of becoming a lover with her is already very small.

But when it comes to sweethearts, the heart reacts naturally.

"Okay, I'll tell the kitchen to cook some of your favorite dishes. This is a family dinner, so I don't plan to invite too many people. ”

Hanging up the phone, Qiao Wenhan continued to go back to sleep. On a rare Saturday, I was disturbed by a phone call again.

Su Chenfeng told his mother that An Xiaoxi would also come.

Su's mother, who was changing the vase with a new bouquet, accidentally fell off the scissors.

"Mom, are you alright?"

"It's okay, okay, the wrist joints are not flexible, things are always falling."

Su Chenfeng picked up the scissors and put them on the table, looking at his mother who was gradually recovering her complexion, and the uneasiness in her heart finally decreased a lot.

Their Su family can no longer withstand the blow.

Mother's 55th birthday is warmer, and there is a saying among the people that you can rejoice.

For people who are recovering from a serious illness, it is beneficial to participate in social activities appropriately and invigorate their spirits.

Su Chenfeng works in the study, in order to accompany his mother more, except for meetings and meeting customers, he tries to be at home every day.

"Morrowind, mom asks you something."

Su's mother's face didn't look very good, maybe it was because the autumn wind was getting cooler, and she hooked up the root of her illness again, and she couldn't stop coughing. Su Chenfeng helped her sit down and quickly poured a cup of hot tea.

"You say, I don't have any secrets from you."

"That Miss An, it's the one from the Qiao family, you were injured before, and she sent you to the hospital."

Su's mother never asked Su Chenfeng about her love life, her serious girlfriend didn't care, and her rumored girlfriend didn't care about it, everything was just as long as her son liked it.

Today, I was in the mood to ask An Xiaoxi.

Maybe it was Zhi'er Mo Ruo's mother, Su Chenfeng's desperate desire to hide the feelings that were seen by his mother.

"What's wrong with Miss An?"

Su Chenfeng stopped what he was doing, looked at his mother's pale face, and was full of worry.

"You're not interested in her, are you?"

Su's mother used a smile to hide the embarrassment of asking this question, she never asked, and it was inevitable that she was a little embarrassed to ask a girl for the first time.

"No, where will it be. She is Wen Han's girlfriend, and she will still be her fiancée in the future, so what can I do. Mother? Do you also want me to get married and have a grandchild for you? ”

Su Chenfeng giggled and fooled his embarrassment.

But the eyes don't lie, after all, Su's mother is a person from the past, and she can't see anything.

Her son would never say such overly playful things, talking about getting married, grandson, but just to hide his weakness.

"I thought you were also attracted to Miss An? That's a good boy, just not for you. Actually, Wen Han is not so suitable, you say that they are together together, young people's affairs, where can we elders manage so much......"

After saying this, Su's mother went back to the living room to fiddle with the bouquet.

Leaving Su Chenfeng alone to savor the meaning of these words, thinking of Leo's previous hostility towards the Qiao family, Su Chenfeng looked at his mother. For the first time, he discovered what his mother should know, and his mother, who had been with him for so many years, still had many secrets.

……

"Welcome, welcome! Ouch, great guest! ”

Seeing that Qiao Youyi was also here, Su Chenfeng had no good intentions, and he also piled up a smile to greet him.

This uninvited guest always came out to stir up trouble on key occasions, and Su Chenfeng specially sent someone to monitor her. After all, it was his mother's birthday, and Qiao Youyi was not allowed to mess around.

"Say, Morrowind, do you have any hearts that don't welcome me, even if it's 1%."

"Auntie, where are you, where is 1% unhappy, but I'm 99% unhappy, okay?"

Su Chenfeng's joke made Qiao Youyi embarrassed.

"Humph! If it weren't for my sister's sake, I wouldn't have bothered to talk to someone of your lower rank. Slightly ......"

Qiao Youyi looked like a half-grown child and made a grimace. The gift given, judging from the packaging, is also very similar to a Christmas gift.

Su Chenfeng waited left and right, and did not see An Xiaoxi and Qiao Wenhan appear.

Maybe these two people are really entangled in affairs, so they can only rush back to sing the birthday song.

Just as he was thinking this, the sound of Jo Wenhan's Maserati engine came into his ears.

As Qiao Wenhan's favorite car, this Maserati accompanied Qiao Wenhan to various occasions. The reason given by Qiao Wenhan is: because it is cheap, it looks good, and it is not distressing if it is broken.

So much so that when An Xiaoxi heard this, he rolled his eyes to the sky on the spot.

"It's coming!"

Su Chenfeng gently patted Qiao Wenhan's back, greeting each other between good brothers.

But for An Xiaoxi, he didn't know what to do. An Xiaoxi also obviously felt his embarrassment, just a few simple greetings, and walked towards the living room with Qiao Wenhan.

The Su family's manor is not as grand as the Qiao Mansion, but it is very elegant.

At first glance, Su's mother is an elegant woman with ingenuity and taste.

"Auntie! Here we go. ”

Qiao Wenhan walked in aggressively, grabbed the fruit on the table and ate it. I grew up in my aunt's house when I was a child, and I didn't have so many constraints. However, An Xiaoxi looked uncomfortable, after all, it was the first time she came to Su Chenfeng's house for a banquet, and Su's mother may not have a good impression of her before.

The party was held in the garden, full of red roses, in full bloom.
