318 has a special meaning for him today
He's hurt?
How?
My brows were furrowed tightly, my heart was very worried, and I subconsciously picked up my mobile phone to call Shu Qiao, but I just put it down as soon as I was about to dial.
What am I doing here? Didn't you say that you would ignore him and no longer care about letting go.
I closed my eyes, and the heartache raged through every cell in my body.
"Ma'am, which one are you going to wear?"
Xiaoxue's question rang out suddenly.
When I opened my eyes, I saw her standing in front of me, carrying a coat in each hand.
I remembered that I was going to church for Christmas Mass later.
I'm not a Catholic, so I didn't go before, but Xiaoxue said that in addition to thanksgiving, there is also the meaning of blessings and prayers, Nino is sick, and Rui Rui is about to be born, so I should go and pray for their health and future.
I think what she said made sense, so I agreed for the sake of the two children.
I closed the computer and pointed to the one that Lou Shaotang customized for me on her left hand, Xiaoxue looked puzzled, "Madam, why do you always wear this?" This coat that the gentleman bought you also looks good, why don't you wear it? As she spoke, she raised the rubber powder fur-collared coat on her right hand.
"I don't like the color."
I made up a random reason. I don't like anything that Zhai Jin bought me, and I haven't touched it.
"Okay." Xiaoxue pouted helplessly, put the coat in her left hand on the bed, and then hung Zhai Jin's piece back in the closet.
After changing my clothes, I went downstairs.
The living room has been furnished with a Christmas vibe. A Christmas tree full of apples, paper flowers, ribbons and other decorations is placed by the fireplace, and at the top of the tree is a cherub. Next to the tree is a Christmas crèche decorated with colorful little figures from many Bible stories. It is a French Christmas tradition to commemorate the birth of Jesus.
Zhai Jin and Yvonne were already in the living room, Zhai Jin was sitting on the sofa, holding Nino and teasing him. The smile on his face was warm and loving, and he couldn't find a trace of the usual gloomy atmosphere around him, he really looked like an elder who was full of love for his children.
He looked up and saw me, got up and walked over to me, "Why don't you bring a scarf?" It's cold outside today. β
I ignored him with a cold face.
"I'll get it for you." Still smirking, he took Nino into Yvonne's hand and turned to go upstairs.
When his figure disappeared into the stairs, Yvonne's smiling face instantly collapsed, and he said unhappily, "Can your stinky face look better?" β
I was about to tease Nino when I heard her say this.
Usually I have a pleasant attitude towards her, but I can't laugh at this moment.
"Would you smile at someone you hate?" I asked unhappily.
"No, it won't." Yvonne said without thinking, and the tone of his words changed, "But today is the holiday, and my brother was injured so badly in order to save you, can't you pretend to make him feel better?" β
"He brought it all upon himself." I was unmoved.
Yvonne seemed to choke and was silent for 2 seconds, "Yes, he asked for it, and I know that you hate it in your heart, but it has come to this, since you can't change it, why bother with yourself and my brother!" Are you going to live like this forever? Let Rui Rui live in a hateful family environment? β
As she spoke, her emotions became a little excited for some reason, and without waiting for me to respond, she continued: "Tu Ying, even if you don't care about yourself, you should think about Rui Rui, do you know how deeply it will hurt the child's soul to see that your parents are loveless and one party regards the other as an enemy?" β
I was slightly surprised, not only because I had never considered what she said, but also because she spoke like she had experienced all these things before.
I didn't squeak, and looked at the beautiful face in front of me that put away the cold arrogance and floated with a touch of pain.
Realizing that his emotions were a little out of control, Yvonne immediately took a deep breath, quickly calmed himself down, and said, "Tu Ying, if you knew what my brother had experienced, maybe you wouldn't hate him like this anymore, but would pity him." β
"Poor him?" As soon as I heard this, I immediately sneered, and grief instantly swelled in my heart, "What about Lou Shaotang?" Isn't he pitiful? β
Tears streamed down my eyes.
Yvonne was speechless, and for a moment, sighed very slightly, the feeling of powerlessness was palpable.
"My brother has indeed done a lot of things to hurt you and Lou Shaotang, but it is true that he loves you, if he didn't love you too much, he wouldn't be so ruthless." She defended Zhai Jin, paused as she spoke, pursed her lips, and said, "Tu Ying, for the sake of his infatuation with you, just today, don't throw your face at him again, okay?" Her tone was pleading, "Because today is not just a festival for my brother, but also has a special meaning." β
Her eyes were red, and tears were rolling in her eyes.
I don't know what the special meaning of her so-called today is to Zhai Jin, but judging from her expression, it must be something that makes both her and Zhai Jin very sad.
No matter how cold and hard her heart is, her face full of deep sorrow will soften a little when she sees her at this time.
I wiped the tears from my cheeks and stopped talking.
Step, step, step β
There was a sound of footsteps at the staircase, and I looked at it, and Zhai Jin came down from the stairs, walking towards me with a beige checked cashmere scarf in his hand.
This scarf was bought for me when we went to Galeries Lafayette the other day, and it is my favorite brand. Actually, I had a lot of scarves and didn't need them at all, but he said they would go well with my coat, so he bought them despite my refusal.
He came up to me and asked to bring it for me.
"I'll do it myself." This time, I didn't wave his hand away unceremoniously, and although my voice was still cold, it wasn't as cold as before.
Zhai Jin was slightly stunned in surprise, "Okay." A smile of joy lifted into his lips as he handed me the scarf.
I took it and put it around my neck.
"Let's go." He told Yvonne and me that his mood suddenly became clearer than the weather outside.
When I went out, it was really cold outside, Zhai Jin helped me put my hat on again, I just raised my hand to take it off, but when I saw Yvonne's earnest eyes, I put my hand down.
"Hungry? Would you like to eat some biscuit mats first? He asked me.
He asked because it was almost 8 o'clock, and the French Christmas dinner started after Mass, and he was afraid that I would not be hungry.
But I ate a lot at noon.
I shook my head.
Zhai Jin smiled, helped me straighten the ends of my hair that had been blown by the wind, and then opened the car door and let Yvonne and I sit in, and he sat in the passenger seat with dignity.
Originally, it was going to be a separate car, but because it was close, only 5 minutes by car, Yvonne didn't want to bother, so he took a car with us.
Soon arrived at the church.
It's not my first time at church, but it's my first time attending this kind of religious service.
The Mass is the most important and most celebrated liturgy of the Holy Church, the purpose of which is the Eucharist and Blood, the sacrifice to God, the expression of admiration, thanksgiving, supplication and atonement to God, from the Last Supper of the New Testament.
According to the Gospels, at the supper on the eve of the crucifixion, Jesus took wheat flour and wine to thank and bless, turned the bread and wine into His own Eucharistic Blood, and gave them to the disciples to eat and drink, and commanded the disciples to do so in memory of Him. After dinner, Jesus was delivered, suffered, and died crucified on Mount Calvary, sacrificing his life.
As soon as I entered the church, I was greeted by a group of about 7 or 8 people, and when I saw one of them, my eyelids jumped.
is Zhai Jin's cousin.
He had plaster casts on both arms, a circle of gauze wrapped around his head, and a neck brace around his neck, and the original murderous aura had subsided a lot, but the anger was written naked on his face.
He glanced at the foreign man who was walking in front of them, and then hooked the corners of his mouth with a sympathetic look.
I looked at the man he was looking at for no reason. The man was almost 60 years old, and his appearance and temperament reminded me of Marlon Brando in the movie "The Godfather".
Zhai Jin stopped, and Yvonne and I followed, and then they walked towards us.
Seeing that Zhai Jin greeted the old man very respectfully, Yvonne also called him very respectfully, I guess this person should be an elder in their family.
The man didn't respond to Zhai Jin, but looked at me, his dark gray eyes as sharp as a falcon emitted a gloomy light, and his expression was also gloomy and serious.
My hands clenched unconsciously, and my heart palpitated.
Zhai Jin saw the slight fear in my heart, held my hand, and I pulled it out and put it in my pocket like an electric shock.
All this did not escape the old man's eyes, his gaze retracted from my face and moved to Zhai Jin, and said a few words to him, listening to the tone seemed to be a little admonishing, the corners of Zhai Jin's mouth opened a disapproving laugh arc, the old man frowned, a little dissatisfied.
Zhai Jin didn't take it seriously at all, and took Yvonne and I to the right row of seats.
Once we were seated, I subconsciously looked at them again, and his cousin was looking at us talking to the old man, and his expression seemed to be complaining or instigating.
The old man looked at me with a blank face, and then at my bulging belly, I suddenly felt a chill, and involuntarily pulled my collar and put my other hand on my stomach.
"Is it cold?" Seeing this, Zhai Jin asked me with concern.
I turned my attention back and didn't answer him, just shook my head slightly.
Zhai Jin smiled and said in a soothing tone: "It'll be over soon." "He reached out to take my hand, but he retracted it halfway through.
I didn't want to ask, but I was really worried, so I asked him, "Who was that person just now?" β
Zhai Jin smiled and condensed, "My uncle." His voice was so low that he couldn't hear any emotion, and when he saw me frowning in confusion, he added, "He's my mother's brother." β
When he spoke of "mother", his face was dyed with a faint layer of sadness, and a faint light seemed to surge in the depths of his eyes.
I didn't pay much attention to it, and asked, "You did your cousin's hand?" β
