124. How can you say it easily
Zeng's mother definitely didn't expect me to be mad in front of her, so after listening to my tough attitude, she didn't argue with me and left, they are all laymen, and it is inevitable that they will encounter problems with mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and they have long been mentally prepared at this age, but after the events of the past two days, no matter how good my temper is, I can't withstand this test.
After my aunt saw my great-mother leave, she immediately came to report, I knew that the responsibility did not lie with them, so I directly explained two sentences and went upstairs, looking at Lele who was asleep, I was suddenly physically and mentally exhausted.
I think everyone in love will look forward to getting married together, but is marriage so simple? No, no, no, not at all, although the cultivation in the past few years has given me some experience in dealing with elders, but the situation of my great-mother is absolutely unacceptable to me.
And Zeng Ziqian, why can't the phone get through?
It was ten o'clock in the evening after removing my makeup, I was so tired that I fell asleep unconsciously, and when I woke up, there was still no one around, and when I walked out of the bedroom, I saw Zeng's mother and Zeng Ziqian who were talking downstairs.
"I'm not going to agree to that." It was Zeng Ziqian's resolute tone.
"Why not? Ziqian, you have always been clear about public and private, I don't understand that my decision makes you so resistant, are you worried that Xiaojie can't accept it? ”
How could my great-mother mention me?
I went downstairs curiously, my aunt called me, and then Zeng Ziqian and Zeng Ma looked at me at the same time.
Zeng's mother immediately got up, smiled, and said, "Xiaojie, you came just in time, I have something I want to discuss with you." ”
Listening to this tone, I was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Zeng Ziqian, we made eye contact, and I saw the embarrassment in his eyes.
When my mother saw me sit down, she said: "Xiaojie, Ziqian had a junior sister named Zhou Ruxue when she was abroad, she helped a lot in the acquisition of Hengyu this time, it's good that she is looking for a job now, I want her to come to Hengyu to work, what do you think about this matter?" ”
Zhou Ruxue, come to Hengyu to work?
"This matter doesn't need to be discussed, I don't agree." Zeng Ziqian didn't wait for me to speak, and directly put down the words.
Zeng's mother didn't care, and said with a smile: "Xiaojie, you see how clear Ziqian's attitude is, in fact, I know his psychology, now that the chairman secretary has resigned, Xiaoxue is the most suitable candidate, he's just afraid that you will be jealous." ”
Dare to love Zeng's mother to play a good mother in front of her son? Let me be a bad daughter-in-law?
"Auntie, you can see that I am jealous, why do you have to install such a big beauty by Zeng Ziqian's side? Do you want to test Zeng Ziqian's endurance, or do you want to see how big my heart is? ”
Zeng's mother was shocked, glanced at Zeng Ziqian, and said, "Dare to think about the company, but it turned out to be a bad person, okay, okay, I'll go." ”
"Auntie, breakfast is ready, you better eat something and go back."
When my mother heard me say this, she glanced back at me, and then walked out without looking back, Zeng Ziqian followed, and came back after a while, and made it to the dinner table, saying, "My mother doesn't mean anything else......"
I looked at the food in front of me and said, "You eat first, I'll go up and see Lele." ”
Without waiting for Zeng Ziqian to reply, I went upstairs, indeed, I was quick to speak for a while, but the fundamental problem was not solved, did Zeng's mother want to block me, and actually asked Zhou Ruxue to go to work in Hengyu, what to do? A balcony near the water?
The more I thought about it, the more angry I became, how unpopular I was, and how angry I had to bear here.
It's okay to be a little angry, but now even Lele has to suffer together, can this marriage still be married?
Zeng Ziqian came up after a while, he stood aside, looked at me, and said, "Don't be angry, don't I stand on the united front with you?" ”
I glanced at Zeng Ziqian and said, "Lele had food allergies last night, I called you, where are you?" ”
"I ......"
I looked at the hesitation on Zeng Ziqian's face, got up, and said, "If you don't answer, I'll help you say it, you were at the Caesar Hotel last night, with Zhou Ruxue." ”
Zeng Ziqian's face showed surprise and said, "I just went over ......"
"Zeng Ziqian," I interrupted the man, "I think I'm going to reconsider the issue of us being together." ”
"Huh?"
"In the past few days, I suddenly feel that I have never really understood you," I looked at Zeng Ziqian and said, "Let me calm down, okay?" ”
Zeng Ziqian looked at me in astonishment and said, "Don't understand? ”
"Yes."
"What are you suspecting?" Zeng Ziqian looked at me and said, "Could it be that we have experienced so much together, and you still doubt me?" ”
"Your mother has never recognized me, nor has she recognized the relationship between us," I stared at Zeng Ziqian and said, "This kind of opinion makes me feel aggrieved." ”
Zeng Ziqian was about to speak, his mobile phone rang, I watched him walk to the side to answer the phone, only then did he hold back the anger in his heart, after a while, he came over, looked at me, and said, "I have a little urgent matter to deal with now, come back later and we will have a good talk." ”
Look, I'd like to find a chance to talk to him that he's busy with work again.
After Zeng Ziqian left, I went to feed Lele, but this depressing atmosphere had almost driven me crazy, but fortunately, Lele was more worry-free, which gave me a little comfort.
At this time, the mobile phone rang, I originally thought it was Zeng Ziqian who called, but I glanced at the screen, and realized that it was Zhou Hengyi who called me, thinking of the situation last night, I ignored it directly.
After a while, the phone was quiet, but a text message popped up: Do you still want your necklace?
I looked down, and sure enough, the white gold necklace around my neck was gone.
The price of that necklace is average, and the style is ordinary, but it is the first gift I gave myself after graduation, and I have been wearing it for so many years, which can be regarded as profound, but how did I get into Zhou Hengyi's hands?
Just as I was struggling with whether to go over and get it back, my phone rang again, and I hesitated for two seconds before I pressed the answer button.
"Mr. Zhou, it's inconvenient for me to go out now, can I trouble you to send things over?"
There was silence on the other end of the phone for two seconds, and then I heard Zhou Hengyi say, "You are your secretary when I am?" ”
I coughed dryly, only then did I realize that my tone just now was not very friendly, and said, "I'm sorry Mr. Zhou, you can tell me a location, I'll let Xiaobai go over." ”
"It seems that this thing is not important to you," Zhou Hengyi's calm voice came, and said, "Then I'll throw it away." ”
"Wait," I hurriedly stopped, saying, "Lele can I go out during my lunch break, Mr. Zhou, where will we meet?" ”
"See you at the old place."
Before I could speak, Zhou Hengyi hung up my phone, look, these days, anyone can bully me.
At two o'clock, Lele fell asleep, and I told my aunt to call me as soon as my great-mother appeared, and then put on a coat and went out, took a taxi from the southern suburbs to the western suburbs, and when I arrived at the intersection, I called Zhou Hengyi.
"Mr. Zhou, I'm here, where are you now?"
"On the way."
"How long will it take?"
"Half an hour."
I glanced at the time, made sure that the person who was late was not me, and gritted my teeth and said, "You should always be safe on the road that week." ”
A chuckle came from the earpiece, and I stomped my foot angrily and sat down on the platform, feeling very depressed.
After waiting for a while, my phone rang, looking at the three words of Zhou Hengyi on the screen, I immediately pressed answer, and heard him say: "Let you wait for you to really wait, I don't know how to look around." ”
I didn't know what it meant for two seconds, but then I turned around and saw a BMW parked on the side of the road, so I walked over.
Zhou Hengyi opened the car door, and I stood in place, saying with a smile: "Mr. Zhou, I'm really bothering you." ”
Zhou Hengyi glanced at me and said, "Let's get in the car first, stop for a while, and the traffic police will come over to post the ticket." ”
I saw that such a thirty-five-year-old man didn't seem to be able to get along with me, so I got into the car, and after the car drove for a while, I saw that Zhou Hengyi didn't say anything, so I asked: "Mr. Zhou, where are you going?" ”
Zhou Hengyi raised his eyes and looked not far away, and said, "It's here." ”
In fact, it is not a special place, but it is just another corner of the city park, but because it is located in the middle of nowhere, there are few people, but the sparkling water surface has a unique flavor.
After Zhou Hengyi got out of the car, he sat on the stone pier and looked at me without speaking.
I glanced at him and said, "Mr. Zhou, can you stop playing me?" ”
Zhou Hengyi looked at me and said, "The anger is so big, is this a quarrel with a man?" ”
I didn't speak.
"Where's Lele?"
"Nap." I was slightly displeased in my tone and said, "Mr. Zhou, you know that I have a husband, but you ask me to come to this kind of place, aren't you afraid that someone will say that you will seduce a woman from a good family?" ”
Zhou Hengyi stared at me and said, "From the first time I saw you, I knew that your mouth was sharp enough. ”
"Mr. Zhou has won the award," I glanced at him and said, "The first time I saw Mr. Zhou, four words popped up in my mind, successful people, and now, four more words popped up." ”
"Oh?"
"You give me the necklace and I can tell you."
Zhou Hengyi ignored me, but looked at the lake and said: "As soon as you appeared today, it was like eating gunpowder, let me guess the reason for the possibility, one, quarrel with my husband, two, discord between my mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and third, early menopause." ”
I really have the leisure to joke.
"Miss Yuan, aren't you tired from standing all the time?" Zhou Hengyi took off his coat, put it on the stone pier, hooked the corners of his mouth, and said, "Please." ”
I was also polite, sat on his suit with a little resentment, and said, "Mr. Zhou, where did I offend you?" You have to get along with me? ”
Zhou Hengyi shrugged his shoulders and said, "I just think you're too defensive." ”
"You're a man, I'm a woman, if you don't keep some boundaries, the problem will come out."
"Looks like I guessed right."
I turned my face away and looked away, then glanced at him and said, "Mr. Zhou, you have been married, you said, if the gap between the external conditions of the two people is too big and the family does not support it, can they be together?" ”
Zhou Hengyi looked at me and said, "His parents don't like you?" ”
Sure enough, the man who eats for a few more years still has an opinion.
"If it's a small contradiction, it can be resolved through negotiation, but if it's an essential contradiction, such as the gap in identity and status, it may take a bit of a detour," Zhou Hengyi looked at the lake and said, "It seems that your husband hasn't adjusted the two problems." ”
"Actually......" I thought about the situation of having a deal with my great-mother, but in the end I remained silent.
"There are several necessary conditions for the harmony of marriage, spiritual synchronization, physical harmony, and equality of status," Zhou Hengyi looked at me and said, "You can refer to it." Most importantly, follow your heart. ”
I listened to Zhou Hengyi's words, and finally realized the root of the problem between me and Zeng Ziqian - unequal status, at least, in the eyes of Zeng's mother, it has always been.
After taking the necklace, I took a taxi to catch up, some thoughts have been lingering in my mind, before that, I have always had an obsession in my heart that I can't let go, that is, I must be with Zeng Ziqian, but Zeng's mother's attitude is there, and the cheesy point is nothing more than looking down on it, I can bear it now, can I still bear it in the future? In her opinion, if I marry Zeng Ziqian, it will be good luck for eight lifetimes, and in her eyes, she has not seen my feelings for him at all.
As long as I think that I will live in the days to come with the old lady, I feel tired. Moreover, Lele will grow up in the future and will understand the reason, if he is in such an environment, he will not be happy.
When I waited for him, I was not afraid, and when I had doubts in my heart, I chose to trust, but now, I dare not look forward.
When I returned to my residence, Zeng Ziqian had already returned, and the second I looked at him, I already had an idea.
"Where?" Zeng Ziqian followed me upstairs and asked in a calm tone.
"Get out and walk around." I avoided his eyes and said, "You came back early today." ”
"My aunt said something about you and my mother," Zeng Ziqian looked at me and said, "Don't take her words to heart." ”
"Can I not take it to heart?" I looked at Zeng Ziqian and said, "Zeng Ziqian, I thought about it, let's be apart for a while." ”
Zeng Ziqian looked at me in astonishment, and only after a few seconds did he speak, "Because of my mother?" ”
I nodded and said: "Ziqian, I cherish our relationship, a month ago, I thought we would definitely be together, the end of many fairy tales is, the prince and princess are happily together, but they don't understand what will happen after being together, just like what happened in the past two days, I don't know when it will break out, Lele needs a home, a warm home, instead of waking up every day and thinking about how to fight with your mother, I'm tired." ”
Zeng Ziqian listened to me, and there was disbelief written on his face, and after a while, he said, "Do you know why I was in Caesar last night?" ”
"You have too many secrets that I don't know."
"I went to meet the designer from New York," Zeng Ziqian stared at me and said, "I want to give you a unique wedding, but you told me to be separated for a while, Yuan Xiaojie, I can understand you, but how can you say the word separation so easily?" ”
