596 Happy Birthday
I think that Fanyin doesn't want to admit this now, probably because he blames me in his heart. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
I understood that it was cruel to send him to a psychiatric hospital, but I didn't feel like I was at fault. After so many years of entanglement, it has long been impossible for me and him to tell who is more sorry for each other.
So, in this case, it's good that he doesn't admit it positively. Anyway, our lives are over.
It's just that Nian Nian will be very happy, after all, this is the father who loves her, but I don't plan to tell her.
On this day, I went to the hospital, and Shanshan was chatting with my father, if it wasn't for the company's important things that annoyed me, I would never have chosen this time.
I came in and said hello, and Sansa made an excuse to leave. I asked my dad about business, and then I was about to leave. He asked, "Don't you have lunch with your father?" ”
As soon as Sansa left, she said that she would be back for lunch, and I said, "No, I have something to do." ”
"Dating Jian Cong?" He asked with a smile.
I haven't thought about how to tell my dad that Meng Jiancong and I have probably broken up, because his condition has been unstable recently, and I am afraid that he will be angry.
But I didn't want to lie to him, so I didn't answer directly, just said, "Anyway, I'll go first, Dad." ”
He still looked at me kindly and said, "Jian Cong said that he made an appointment with you for dinner. ”
I explained, "I'm going back to the office at noon. ”
"Let's stay here at noon and eat with Dad." He smiled and said, "It's a birthday after all." ”
I said that I remembered that today was my birthday, and although I wanted to refuse, I felt that I couldn't bear to live up to his kindness, so I nodded: "Okay." ”
"You go and send someone to bring Yin Yin and Nian Nian over." He said: "Especially Niannian, I haven't seen her for a long time. ”
"Niannian made an appointment to go to a classmate's house to play today." I said, "I'll be back in the afternoon." ”
He nodded and asked, "How long have you not spoken?" ”
"I said it this morning." Indeed, Nian Nian got up very early today and told me about it before I got in the car. I didn't think much of it at the time, and I didn't understand what she meant until now.
Why bother? I'm not coveting her birthday wishes.
He nodded and said, "Then let Yin Yin come." ”
Seeing that it was almost noon, I called and sent someone to bring Yin Yin.
Soon Shanshan also returned, and it seemed that she had already discussed with my father and arranged a lot of dishes. Yin Yin didn't remember that today was my birthday, she just thought that her grandfather had asked her to eat together, and she couldn't be happy.
The atmosphere at the dinner table was still the same as every day, and Yin Yin was a little afraid of me, although I never criticized her. Shanshan and I had nothing to say, so the three of them kept chatting, and I was half-full, and I was worried that I had no excuse to go, when my phone rang.
As soon as I took it out to look at the screen, I realized that it was an unfamiliar number, and before I could answer it, Yin Yin said on the side: "Grandpa, mom is leaving again." ”
I was stunned, and the action stopped, and I saw my father's face: "Turn off the phone." ”
I explained, "It could be business. ”
"Turn it off." He said, "Without you, the company wouldn't have gone bankrupt." ”
I looked at Yin Yin, and she pouted and looked at me pitifully.
I put down the dishes and took a few sips of water, wandering around the phone call. Who could it be? I don't remember it, but I'm sure I've never seen that number.
My dad is still angry: "It's rare for you to spend time with your children, don't think about business, don't think I don't know, how can there be so many things in the company?" ”
Shanshan persuaded him on the side: "Dad, of course the company doesn't have so much to do for you, but my sister has only taken over for a short time, and it is normal to be busy, and many people in the company praise her for her diligence." ”
"How did I hear that she was a workaholic, and that she was mean and cold-blooded." It seems that he said today that it was for my birthday, but in fact he was dissatisfied with me, "and he was short-tempered and had to smash something every day." ”
I said, "I'm sorry. ”
My dad didn't speak, neither did Shanshan, only Yin Yin whispered, "Grandpa......" She was a little nervous.
My father's tone softened from this: "I understand that you are busy, but you should spend more time with your children, and don't always keep a straight face, lest you not be able to call back for your birthday in a few years." ”
I knew he was right, but I couldn't help but get angry, looked up at him and said, "I never needed someone to celebrate my birthday." ”
Yin Yin craned her neck, and my dad frowned slightly.
"I'm sorry, Dad, I'm really in trouble." I stood up, looked at Yin Yin and said, "Mom has something to do today, I'll be with you another day." ”
Then, without waiting for them to speak, he turned and walked out of the room.
As I approached the elevator, I heard footsteps behind me. I turned my head to see that it was Sanshan, who was holding a box in her hand, and said, "Daddy was going to give it to you after dinner." ”
There was wrapping paper on the outside of the box, and I didn't know what it was, so I hesitated for a moment and took it and said, "Thank you for me." ”
"What's wrong with your own dad?" She smiled, "I'm not going to say it for you." ”
The elevator arrived, and I said, "I'll go first, bye-bye." ”
She didn't speak, and I stepped inside. There was no one in the elevator, so I was about to press the close button when Shanshan suddenly shouted, "Lingyu! ”
I had to stop and look up at her.
"Dad actually wants you to spend more time with him." "He always talks to me about you," she said. ”
"I see." I said, "Thank you." ”
"I used to think your personality was a little awkward." She probably thought I couldn't get in the oil and salt, and frowned: "It's even more awkward now." ”
I didn't speak, I pressed the close button.
Am I awkward?
I'm obviously good.
Nian Nian came back in the afternoon, but she didn't notice that I was at home, and when she came back, she went headlong into her room.
I hesitated and hesitated, but finally didn't call Meng Jiancong. We hadn't been in touch for a long time, and we hadn't planned to have dinner together, so I don't know why my dad said that.
The strange number didn't call again, so I didn't call back, in fact, business won't call my mobile phone, I think it should just be a wrong number.
It wasn't until five o'clock in the afternoon that my phone rang again, it was Meng Jiancong.
I picked it up, and as soon as I said "hello", he keenly asked, "Feeling bad?" ”
"Nope." I knowingly asked, "What's the matter?" ”
"I can't contact you if it's okay?" The mild tone was like the previous argument had not happened.
I said, "I thought you were never going to contact me." ”
He didn't answer me, but said, "I want to make an appointment with you for dinner in the evening." ”
I said, "I have other appointments. ”
"I specifically asked Mr. Su," he said, "and he said you didn't have an itinerary for the night." ”
I became angry: "Why do you even ask him such a thing? ”
"Your assistant won't tell me." He said, "I was willing to do it before. ”
I asked, "Did you say anything to my dad?" ”
He was silent for a while before he said, "Let's talk about it when we meet, okay?" ”
I still agreed to Meng Jiancong, and when I finished packing up and went out, Niannian was at the gate, and she saw me, but she was obviously pretending not to see it, and was running into the garden.
I shouted, "Nian Nian." ”
She had to stop, turn her head to look at me, and reluctantly called out, "Mommy." ”
"Did you have a good time today?" I tried not to keep my face on my face, but the muscles seemed to freeze, and I had forgotten how long it had been since I had laughed.
"It's fine." She replied impatiently.
"Oh, what do you want to do at night?"
"Do your homework."
"Isn't there no class today?"
"There's homework anyway." She said.
I nodded and asked, "Where are you going now?" ”
"Go to the backyard." She couldn't hold on, turned her head to look at my car, and asked, "Don't you want to go out?" ”
"Yes." I said, "But I want to talk to you, it seems like we haven't talked for a long time." ”
"I'm going to be late for a date." She stood her ground: "And I'm busy, too. ”
When it was all said and done, I had nothing to say, "Then you should be busy." ”
Even so, I didn't move, and Nian Nian obviously stood there for a while before saying, "Then I'm leaving?" ”
"Go ahead."
She turned.
I didn't know what to think, but I suddenly became impulsive and called out to her: "Nian Nian." ”
She paused, and turned impatiently. She had her head down, but I could see her frowning, apparently her patience had run out.
I knew I would be disappointed, but I said, "It's Mom's birthday." ”
She didn't seem to hear, and her face showed impatience.
"Don't want to wish your mom a happy birthday?" I asked.
It took her a while before she said, "Happy birthday." From the voice to the expression, there was only perfunctory: "Okay?" ”
It took me a long time to find my voice: "Thank you." You go get busy. ”
Nian Nian ran away, and I got in the car too.
It's February, it's almost the Spring Festival, and you can always see lights on the road.
I felt a little lonely.
Meng Jiancong booked a good French restaurant, with a delicate cake in the center of the table full of brocade decorations.
He was already waiting at the door of the restaurant, and I noticed that he had lost some weight, but his expression was smiling.
Once seated, the waiter begins to serve an aperitif. When he saw me looking at the cake, he smiled and said, "The craftsmanship is not good, I will practice diligently when I go back, and strive to make it look better next year." ”
I was still thinking about my question: "What did you tell my dad?" ”
"He asked me why I hadn't dated you lately, and I said it was because everyone was busy." "Then he asked me why I didn't make an appointment with you today," he asked, "and I said I was baking a cake and would have asked you out if it was baked well." ”
I asked, "Did he ask about marriage?" ”
"Yes." "I said I'd give him the answer tomorrow," he said. ”
I said, "I'll tell him about it myself." ”
I still don't want him to know that I'm involved with Fanyin again.
He asked, "What are you going to say?" ”
"Since you said you'd give him an answer tomorrow, let me think about it tonight." I said, "Anyway, you don't have to worry about it anymore." ”
