Chapter Twenty-Six: I Thought He Would Be a Brother-in-law
After cleaning up my father's office, I walked out of the building tiredly, stopped to look up at the place where my father had worked hard all his life, and felt a lot of emotion.
I walked towards the parking lot, but suddenly remembered that there was no car left, and I pulled the corners of my mouth shallowly, this is the truth.
Turning around, I walked down the street in the direction of my home, the dim street lamp accompanying my lonely figure.
The phone rang, and it was Xiaowan, "Sister, why haven't you come back yet?" Is it that things are not going well in the company? ”
"If it goes well, I'll be back! Is Mom okay? ”
"It's okay! Ate a bite of chicken cake, I'll wait for you, come back soon! ”
"Hmm!"
I hung up the phone and my eyes were a little hot!
Yes, there is still family waiting for me to go back, and I am not alone.
I stretched out my hand to take a taxi, but suddenly retracted my hand, afraid that I would have to learn to be frugal in the future, and the days of worry-free food and clothing would end with my father's departure.
I looked around, and to be honest, I didn't know where the subway was, and the bus couldn't get to my home. Even if there is, I am afraid that I will not be able to catch the last train at this time, and I will have to walk a long private road to the park.
As I was hesitating, a car pulled up in front of me and said, "Get in the car!" ”
This voice was too familiar to me, and I paused and blurted out, "Thank you, no need!" ”
At this time, I didn't really want to see him.
"Get in the car, what's ...... Forgot the conditions between us? My request was to be available! The voice in the car was cold and unforgiving, as if he was not a man, but a god, or a haunting devil, and I avoided it!
"Not today, I have to go home, my mother is still sick, I ......"
"I said get in the car......"
Anger was evident in his voice.
I looked at the boundless darkness of the night, plucked up the courage to reach out and open the door and sit in the car, but before I could sit down, the car sprang out.
Let the chips fall where they may! Where do I still have autonomy, and my life from now on is not the same as the previous Xia Yiqing.
I could hear my own heartbeat and breathing in the car.
I looked out the window without saying a word, but was pleasantly surprised to find that the car was heading in the direction of my house.
I suddenly didn't understand, could it be that he sent me home with kindness?
No way?
It's a little incredible, does he still have feelings?
Doesn't he hate me very much? I couldn't help but sneak a glance, his side face was angular and handsome, and it had become a habitual liking that made my heart pound.
But his attitude towards me discouraged me, and my heart tingled.
Today is indeed a day that I will never forget, and it will be the most painful and helpless day of my life, and I am afraid that I will never forget it for the rest of my life.
Along the way, Sheng Teng didn't say a word to me, as if he was thinking about something, and drove very attentively.
When he arrived at the door, he whispered: "Get out of the car!" ”
I shivered slightly, and resignedly, "Thank you!" ”
When I got out of the car, the car drove away with a 'whoosh', without stopping for a moment, I don't know if it was a relief or a loss.
I stood there until his car disappeared from my sight, then I turned and walked into the house.
When Xiao Wan saw me coming back, she hurriedly ran over, "Sister, are you back, have you eaten?" I'll ask Sister-in-law Li to give you a hot meal! The way she chirped told me she was actually lonely.
"No, is Mom asleep?"
Xiao Wan grabbed my hand, glanced upstairs, and shook her head helplessly.
"Where's Qiao Xin?"
"Sister Xinxin said to go home today and come back tomorrow!"
"Oh, then go to sleep! I'm going to see Mom! I put down my bag and headed upstairs.
I went to knock on my mother's door and said, "Mom, I'm back!" The company has dealt with it, Mom, I'm ...... I did my best! ”
There was no sound in the room, and she still didn't want to see me.
I knocked on the door again, "Mom, I'm in!" ”
With that, I twisted the door open and gently pushed the door in.
"Get out!" Suddenly there was a bad roar.
A shadow flew over, and with a 'thud', a hard object slammed into my forehead, then fell to the floor and shattered.
The hot stuff ran down and blurred my eyes instantly, and I reached out to cover my forehead.
"Sister......" Xiao Wan, who was following behind, exclaimed, "Sister, it's bleeding...... Sister-in-law Li...... Sister-in-law Li, hurry up and get the medicine box, my sister is injured! ”
Xiao Wan exclaimed, I took it down and took a look, and my hands were all bright red.
"Mom, what are you doing here? My sister came back after a busy day, and I came to see you without eating, why did you smash her, my father is dead, don't force my sister! Xiaowan cried to her mother obediently.
"Get out, get out of here! Get lost! ”
I looked at my mother, and she was wide-eyed and hysterically screaming for us to get out.
Since my father's death, this is the first time I have seen my mother, she has lost a lot of weight, she looks weak, her face is innocent, there is no quiet elegance in the past, and her eyes are full of panic and anger.
"Mom! Don't be angry, you can rest first! I lowered my eyebrows and comforted her.
"Get out, don't let me see you, it's not enough to be successful! The Xia family is gone, your father's Xia family is gone, what face do you have to come to see me, it's all you...... Get out! ”
Another pillow flew over me and slammed limply in front of me.
I looked at her manic appearance and had some heart palpitations, and I was afraid that she would be angry, so I had to withdraw and gently close the door.
"Sister, hurry up and let Sister-in-law Li bandage you!" Xiao Wan looked at my forehead in panic.
I touched it again, and the blood was already dripping onto my clothes, bright red, and all over my face's eyelashes.
"Miss, why don't you go to the hospital! There's so much blood flowing! Sister-in-law Li was a little flustered.
"It's okay, just deal with it simply!" I said absent-mindedly, in fact, my heart hurts a lot more than this.
Sister-in-law Li hurriedly treated my wound, and said while wiping the blood stains from the wound, "Miss, let's go to the hospital!" The opening is a bit big. ”
"No!"
Sister-in-law Li had to tremble and wipe me with alcohol, but I was already sweating in pain.
I didn't expect my mother to hate me like this.
This night, Xiaowan fell asleep in my arms, I could feel her helplessness, in fact, I was not like this, I could only stare at my eyes all night until dawn.
Everything had settled, and I was like a spinning top, with no power and suddenly stopped, swaying back and forth in place.
When I got up, I made breakfast for my mother, and although I didn't do it well, I had to learn to do it, and I thought to myself that I should quit my job as a maid at home.
In fact, I don't need to say it, they are also quietly talking in private, planning for their future, but because of the face of these years, it is not easy to take the initiative to speak.
I knew that they had actually wanted to leave a long time ago, and the Xia family was no longer the original Xia family, although they couldn't accept the overnight changes, but the Xia family was really defeated.
I sat down with Xiaowan for breakfast, and I told her, "Xiaowan, after eating, change your clothes, let's go to Sheng's house." ”
"What? Going to the Sheng family? Xiao Wan looked at me in surprise with a reluctant expression, "What are you doing at the Sheng family?" ”
"Go to see Grandpa Sheng, after all, Dad's funeral was done by Grandpa Sheng, we can't be without courtesy, we always have to thank others." I said to my sister indifferently that the rice in my mouth was like chewing wax, and there was no taste in eating.
"Dad is gone, Mom is sick, it's been a long time, there's no reason not to thank you, we can't let people laugh at us for being rude." I patiently explained the truth to my sister.
Xiaowan's personality is different from mine, maybe she is still young, she is a younger sister in addition, she is very frank and simple, she doesn't have so many ideas, and she has to say that newborn calves are not afraid of tigers.
"Don't talk nonsense when you get there, no matter what people say, you can't mess around, you know?" I looked at Xiao Wan's simple and beautiful little face and said, "I can't be like before in the future, you know, Xiao Wan!" ”
"Hmmm! Sister, are you afraid of Sheng Teng? She looked at me with innocent faces, big eyes and inquiring.
"Don't be afraid, it's just that there's no need to fight with him, the Xia family and the Sheng family, we are us, they are them, and they are already afraid that they will not be as close as before, and the etiquette can be counted! We're on our own! ”
I don't really want to instill this in my sister, but she is too young, only 16 years old, 6 years younger than me, and she still doesn't understand a lot of truths.
"Sister, do you still love Brother Sheng Teng?" She looked harmless to humans and animals, and asked me a little blankly.
"I don't love it anymore! He is no longer the Sheng Teng brother I knew! I said quietly, as if talking to myself.
Xiao Wan sighed, pouted, a little unwilling, "I thought he would be my brother-in-law, why don't you love him, in fact, I don't like him to be good to other women." She muttered and shoved a mouthful of bun into her mouth.
Suddenly, she raised her big eyes and looked at me again, "Sister, it must be that bullshit Xiang Mannie, it's her business, without him, Brother Sheng Teng wouldn't change!" ”
I was stunned, staring at Xiao Wan, and entered reverie with a wooden expression.
Xiang Manni, Xiao Wan is right, this Xiang Manni is of course the key.
In the dark, I feel that in my life, Xiang Manni is...... I can't say anything, but I always mention it and my heart beats.
Now I can't be compared with it, she is a popular star, and I am a shabby.
"Finish eating, let's go and go back, it's too late and it's noon!" I took my attention and looked at Xiaowan urging.
After eating, we all changed our clothes, I knocked on my mother's door and said inside: "Mom, I'll take Xiaowan to lie in the Sheng family's old house, meet Grandpa Sheng, and come back in a while!" ”
There was no movement in the room, I knew that she heard it, and she would not stop her when she went to the Sheng family.
I was just about to call Joshin when she came in, and now there is no car, so I have to drive her car, I don't know how helpless we will be if she goes back to Canada.
I asked her to help take care of my mother.
I took Xiaowan out, and I drove Qiao Xin's car towards the Sheng family's old house.
