Chapter 201: A Lost Surprise
I exclaimed, "Mom! ......”
On the second floor on the platform stood my mother, who was looking lovingly at the few people in the living room downstairs.
I was stunned for a long time, and my mother's eyes were fixed on me.
There was surprise and doubt in her eyes, and more of heartache and love.
It's no longer indifferent.
"Mom!" I shouted, looked up at the upstairs platform, and ran desperately towards the stairs.
I saw my mother also walking briskly towards the stairs, running down.
"Mom......" I couldn't help but call out one after another, as if this was the only way to confirm that all this was true.
I saw that my mother's steps were also a little staggering, and my weak legs were not like words at all, it was really difficult to walk.
Xiao Tianyu hurriedly came over and tried to hold me, but I pushed him away and stumbled upstairs.
Finally, I half-climbed up to the tartar, and she came down to the tartar.
Both of us were stunned and nailed there without continuing.
Her gaze didn't leave my face from the moment she saw me, I quickly lowered my head, tears streaming down my face, "Mom, I'm Xingchen!" I ......"
I can't go on any longer, it seems like everything is frozen here.
The surroundings are quiet and terrifying.
Suddenly, I heard my mother crying.
I fell to my knees all at once, "Mom......"
I crawled to her on my knees, and she ran two steps, fell to the ground, and took me into her arms, "O stars...... Son......."
"Mom......" I threw myself into her arms and hugged my mother tightly.
Xiaowan also ran up, and the three of us mother and daughter hugged and cried.
For 5 years, we were separated for five years, without a phone call, not a chance to meet.......
But this is what it looks like to see each other again.
I looked up at my mother, "Mom, you're back, Xingchen misses you so much, I thought my mother didn't want me anymore!" ”
"O stars, mother...... How could I not want you! "My mother burst into tears, she hugged me tightly and looked down at my face, and I felt so painful.
Her hand touched my face gently, and her eyes were full of love and pity.
Xiao Tianyu slowly walked up and stretched out his hand to help the three of us mother and daughter, "Auntie, sit down and talk!" You're tired from the journey, I've already arranged a meal, I'll be there soon, you must be hungry! It's not too late to chat after eating first! ”
Mother looked at Xiao Tianyu, she patted his arm, "Thank you Tianyu!" ”
I helped my mother downstairs and sat in the living room, when I saw Uncle Yu, the housekeeper of our house who went to Australia with my mother.
I quickly stood up and pulled Uncle Yu, "Uncle Yu, thank you for taking care of my mother all the time!" Thank you! ”
"Miss, this is what I should do." Uncle Yu looked at me with surprise and doubt, I think he must be confirming whether I am their eldest lady or not.
Qiao Xin had already put down her luggage, she had been in the hospital for several days since she came, and she would follow Uncle Yu to arrange the restaurant.
I kept holding my mother's hand and didn't want to let go, this stone has been pressing in my heart for too long, I really want to know, why?
Why did my mother come back suddenly?
"Mom, why did you come back all of a sudden?" I looked at my mother and asked.
"Tianyu sent someone to escort me back, I was afraid that it would not be safe for me to be alone in Australia, so he picked me up!" My mother looked at Xiao Tianyu, who was sitting opposite, smiled, and then looked at me again, "My stars are suffering!" It's only been 5 years, and it's ......"
She started crying again, and I cried too, and my sister Xiaowan was still snuggled in my arms as before, maybe she was still very tired.
It looks a little wilting and not energetic.
Not long after, the Assorted Wangfu delivered a meal, and Uncle Yu and a few workers were making dishes.
I said to everyone, "We're all going to eat together today!" ”
I held my mother and shouted for everyone to go to the restaurant together, and I shouted for everyone to come along.
But just as he wanted to sit down, Xiao Tianyu's phone rang, he listened to the phone, and said to me and my mother, "Auntie, I can't dine with you, I still have something to deal with, let's go first!" ”
After speaking, he and Tang Hao hurriedly left here.
I called Uncle Yu over for dinner, and everyone gathered around the table.
This meal was the most down-to-earth meal I have had in 5 years, the stone in my heart was completely shattered, I was much more relaxed, and I also felt the unprecedented happiness that I had regained.
But I kept secretly pinching myself to confirm that all this was true.
Oh, yes! What could be happier than a family reunion? If only Dad were there!
After eating, a few of us sat down around my mother.
The mother who hasn't seen her for 5 years is a little old, the original black hair, now a little gray, although there are not too many traces of her demeanor and skin, but the kind of indescribable vicissitudes of life makes her look a little old.
"Mom, what the hell is going on?" I looked at my mother and asked, although this knot was opened, but it went directly to the result, but I didn't know the process, I always felt a little inexplicable, like riding a roller coaster, and some couldn't accept it.
"If you want to talk about this matter, you have to start with your father's accident." My mother looked at my face, and she probably still haunted my face.
"When something happened to my dad?" I was a little surprised.
"Yes, before your father's accident, you were not at home at that time, didn't you go to the north? During that time, your father went out early and returned late, and he was very busy every day, and when he came back, he was locked in the study, and he could only sleep 3-4 hours a day. ”
Mother began to tell about the beginning of that nightmare 5 years ago.
"I was a little worried about his health, and he always comforted me and said that it would be fine after this time, and I asked him if there was something going on with the company."
"At first, he didn't want to tell me, he has been perfunctory to me, your Uncle Li also keeps going abroad, keeps coming to the house, and even sometimes, he will come here in the middle of the night, locked in the study, and talk for a few hours, I am sure that there must be something big wrong with the company."
Mother will be very serious, she seems to go back to those days 5 years ago.
"At that time, Tianyu had already returned to China, and from the few times he answered the phone, I could hear him talking about Tianyu, and he looked very angry, I wondered, could it be that there was something wrong with the Xiao family, because at that time, you also knew that Tianyu took over the Xiao family when he came back!"
"Yes, he changed a lot back then!" I nodded, of course, remembering everything back then.
"And the whole person has changed a little! If you have changed, the Lin family has also changed. ”
The mother's face was a little bitter.
"One day your father came back after midnight again, and looking at the way he looked, I knew that he must be very tired and pale today."
"I won't let him stay up late anyway, your father is very obedient on the surface, and he will rest early in front of me, but when I go to sleep, he gets up and goes to the study."
"It didn't take long for me to find out. Once, when the sky was about to dawn, I found that he was not there, so I went to the study to see what he was doing, but I heard two people talking in the study, and I heard Xiao Tianyu's voice. ”
Mom's words surprised me, Xiao Tianyu came to our house in the middle of the night?
"Tianyu?" I was a little surprised, "He came to my house at this time?" ”
"Yes! So I didn't dare to disturb them, thinking to myself, they must have something important to talk about, and just as I wanted to turn around and go back to the room, I heard your father say, 'It seems that we have to check Xiang Li'an properly, if we blindly let things develop, our Xiao Jialin family will perish in the business world.' ’
My mother said this, looked at me, and said very seriously.
"I was a little terrified when I heard your father say such things, what could make both families perish in the business world, it was terrifying!" I fully understand my mother's situation at that time.
"I heard your father continue, 'Now there is only this one clue, you also know the Lin family, there is no foreign aid, although your Xiao family has overseas forces, but you have also secretly found out, they will never attack their own family, so where is the matter? We have to find out where it really came from. ’”
I looked at my mother and imagined what it would be like.
The mother continued, "When I heard these words, I understood that there was really something wrong with the company. I didn't dare to disturb them, so I quietly went back to my room. ”
"And then?" I asked.
"I don't know when Tianyu left our house that day, and after your father returned to the room in the morning, I asked your father what was going on, he looked at me for a long time, pulled me and told me seriously, this matter is very serious, and the Lin family and the Xiao family have no way out."
Mother lowered her eyelids and thought for a moment.
"I asked him at the time, 'Can Tianyu still have hope with the stars?' ”
I stared at my mother.
"Your father said, 'Now that the two families have reached such a critical time of life and death, how can they have the heart to think about the relationship between their children, and in the future, it is no longer important.' ”
Mom took my hand, and her eyes were full of pain.
"Your father reminded me not to get involved in anything in the company, no matter what happens, don't cause trouble to the Xiao family, stay away from the Xiao family, and make it seem that the two families have become estranged."
I still looked at my mother. Qiao Xin also listened carefully to her mother's story, and of course she paid attention to the whole process, because she witnessed all my pain.
"Your father said, don't let Xingchen chase Tianyu anymore, when necessary, you can only let Xingchen make sacrifices and leave Tianyu! Only the Xiao family, who the Lin family is really detached, can buffer it and give Tianyu a chance to turn around. ”
My mother looked at me with guilt in her eyes, "That's what your dad was thinking." ”
I nodded silently, I understood my father's will to me, I don't ask the Xiao family, stay away from Xiao Tianyu!
"But who knows, that morning your dad and I will be the last time we talk."
