Chapter 020: Relationship Confusion
"Go play. I'm chatting with Aunt Congbai and Uncle Juncheng over there, you guys have something, come over there to find us. Shu Wan pointed to the gazebo in the courtyard and said.
"Good!" The three children said yes and ran back to play.
Shu Wan took Huang Congbai and Huang Juncheng to the pavilion, and the sister-in-law came over with tea.
"Sister-in-law, let's go clubbing by ourselves." Shu Wan asked her sister-in-law to put down a set of tea sets and motioned for her to leave.
She made tea for the two of them and said, "Time flies so fast day by day." β
"Not really. Looking at your face, it's still the same as when I first met you many years ago, but you're already a mother of two children. Huang Juncheng said with emotion.
"Child, like a little sapling. After you give birth to it, whether you care about it or not, it will grow day by day. Shu Wan meant something and said.
Huang Congbai can conclude that this child is her and Xu Xiao's son.
The three of them sat and talked about the old days. Most of the time, it was Huang Juncheng who was talking, Shu Wan was listening, and Huang Congbai was in a daze.
"Congbai, why are you absent-minded?" Huang Juncheng noticed that Huang Congbai was wrong and asked.
"Nothing." Huang Congbai smiled disguised and said.
She took a sip of tea, her voice was sad, and said: "A person's life is really a step by step chess, and if you make a mistake, you will be wrong every step." β
Huang Juncheng glanced at Huang Congbai and did not answer. He knew that Huang Congbai must have remembered the child who stayed in the Xu family. Back then, Congbai took the child to the Xu family, saying that he could not delay the child from enjoying the warmth of the Xu family. She was just an orphan with no relatives. And the Xu family can be regarded as a prosperous person. For this reason, she would rather endure the pain of thinking about her son alone. She agreed with the Xu family that she would never look at the child again, and she would never recognize the child forever.
Shu Wan opened his mouth and said, "A person's life is indeed very delicate. A trivial thing back then, a small choice, maybe it will affect the trajectory of one's life and determine one's destiny a few years later. I want to go back and make a new choice, but I don't have a time machine to travel back in time. β
Huang Congbai said: "If I could choose, I chose not to meet." Well, everything is calm, not so much heartbreaking. But I didn't have a choice. I just met, sank, and did the unthinkable. β
She stopped her voice and glanced at Shu Wan, not understanding why she suddenly spoke like this. She suppressed her voice, changed the subject, and said, "Shu Wan, what are you looking for me?" β
"Nothing. I heard that Tao Qin is still pestering my brother. Tao Qin is your sister, I hope you can take care of her. Shu Wan said. This is the excuse she came up with for Huang Congbai.
Huang Congbai smiled and said, "After my parents died of illness, all my relatives left me. With so many debts, I am left alone to pay off, and I can onlyβ"
She smiled bitterly and said, "And when I have paid off all my debts and have money to spare, these relatives will come out one by one." β
Her voice turned cold and said, "Tao Qin is not my sister, but she is just a little related to me." Maybe before, I still thought she was my cousin, and I wanted to get along better. Now, I just want to be a little farther away from her, a little farther away. She and I are not all the way. β
Shu Wan let out an "oh" and said, "That's sorry, I can't understand it thoroughly, so I'm bothering you." β
"That's what you're looking for me?" Huang Congbai stared at Shu Wan's eyes and asked.
Shu Wan looked at her seriously, didn't take his eyes off, and said, "Hmm." As you know, my brother's daughter-in-law has a delicate relationship with my family. So I don't want problems in their marriage. Tao Qin, this woman, I also know a little bit. She's just afraid that it will be difficult to listen to anyone. You're her cousin, and I think she'll listen to you somewhat. β
"My sister has broken a good hand. Her family conditions are okay, and she can obviously find a reliable man and live a good life. But I have to look at those men who look glamorous but don't look down on her. After such a delay and two delays, she became an older leftover girl. Huang Congbai sighed.
Another reason why she broke with Tao Qin was that Tao Qin clearly said that she delayed Tao Qin's happiness. Tao Qin said that because her cousin was unmarried, she did not want to get married. Her aunt scolded her to the point of blood, telling her to stay away from her daughter in the future and not to give her a bad influence.
However, can she be the same as Tao Qin?
She was forced to be completely disappointed in the man. And Tao Qin, who is obviously a flower heart, is like a monkey breaking corn, seeing one love and one good one, and ruining his reputation in vain.
Men are not stupid. No one wants to marry a water-based poplar woman and go home, and they don't know when they will cuckold themselves.
Huang Juncheng said: "Shu Wan, don't worry. As far as I know, Tao Qin is about to get married. β
"Marry? Who to marry? Huang Congbai and Shu Wan were surprised.
"Yuan Yu. Yuan Yu and Tao Qin are a perfect match. One is a flowery carrot among men, and the other is a nymphomaniac among women. One can't marry the daughter of a serious family, and the other can't marry a good family. Huang Juncheng looked gloating.
"Tao Qin can't get married, I believe it. Yuan Yu coaxed a student girl to marry him, isn't it as simple as one plus one equals two? Huang Congbai said he didn't believe it.
Huang Juncheng shook his head and said, "Don't forget, Yuan Yu wants to find a woman with a family." Such a woman has a thick family background. How could his parents not check on him? Naturally, it will beat the mandarin ducks. How about Tao Qin, it can be regarded as a slight family background. Men and women, like women, must be good themselves if they want to find the good one. If the character is not good, no matter what, it will not work. β
During the meal, Xu Anwen, like the little adult, followed Shu Wan and them to the big table to eat. A few and He He, eating at a small table.
"Anwen, what do you like to eat? Auntie clips it for you. Huang Congbai asked. She looked at Xu Anwen, her eyes were shining.
"No need, thank you, Auntie." Xu Anwen said with a smile. His smile was detached.
It's strange, Xu Xiao is a warm person, and he is also a warm person, how could he give birth to such an indifferent son. Perhaps, this is the result of the living environment?
Huang Congbai's nose bridge is sour. Can't give his son a warm childhood and let him grow into a warm person. As a mother, she was a failure.
Be an old soul. It's because life is too hard, isn't it?
Thinking of this, tears were rolling in Huang Congbai's eyes. She went to the bathroom to calm herself.
Shu Wan followed in, looked at her, and did not speak.
"What do you mean?" Huang Congbai said coldly.
"Nothing. If you want him, you can always come to my house to see him. He is now raised by me and Qi Tong. Shu Wan replied.
"What?" Huang Congbai was surprised.
"Xu Xiao's cousin is getting married. The old people in the family are all old. Xu Xiao is married, and it is inconvenient to leave him at home. Your son offered to let me raise him with Qi. He's so big, and he's thinking a lot. β
"Shu Wan, thank you!"
"No, I don't. Let's take a look at him. β
"Hmm."
