Chapter Seventy-Six: You Are a Nightingale, Not a Canary
It was Mother Xu who came to open the door for Lin Muyang.
As soon as she opened the door, she saw Lin Muyang, and as soon as Xu's mother wanted to ask, she saw the person on Lin Muyang's back, Xu's head fell to the side uncontrollably, and Xu's mother shouted in surprise.
"Yes?!! Oh my God, this, what's going onβ"
"Hello, aunt, I'm Enron's friend, she was careless today." Lin Muyang carried Xu Anran on his back, and also freed up a hand to help Xu Anran's head, and it became very difficult to speak.
"Ah, it's Ranran's friend, oh, this kid, quick, come into the house." Hearing Lin Muyang's explanation, Xu's mother hurriedly gave way out, and hurriedly went to support her daughter's head and let Lin Muyang enter the house.
It was not until he walked to the bedside of Xu Anran's bedroom that Lin Muyang put Xu Anran down, and Xu's mother took off Xu Anran's shoes and covered her with a quilt. Looking at Xu Anran, who had fallen asleep, his face was a little sad, and he brushed the hair in front of him before turning his head to look at Lin Muyang.
"This girl slept so hard, it's really hard for you to send her back."
"Auntie, I'm okay. Lin Muyang shook his head with a smile, his eyes always stayed on Xu Anran's sleeping face, and never looked away.
"By the way, have you eaten? If I make you something to eat, what will you drink first? Do you drink milk? β
"Auntie, I, I don't have to..."
"Then what's going on, I'll go and make you something to eat, and I'll be fine soon."
After speaking, Xu's mother walked out of Xu Anran's room in a panic and went to the kitchen to prepare food for Lin Muyang, but Lin Muyang didn't have time to refuse.
In an instant, the room was quiet, except for Xu Anran's occasional whispering, there was only the sound of both sides breathing.
Lin Muyang looked at the person on the bed, pursed his lips, then stepped back and began to look at Xu Anran's room.
The room is not big, but it is clean and tidy, the purple curtains and white carpet look romantic and elegant, and the books on the shelves are also placed in an orderly and neat manner.
Feeling a little soft in his heart, Lin Muyang slowly walked to Xu Anran's desk, picked up a book casually, turned a few pages and put it back in its place.
Then he moved a few more steps and walked to Xu Anran's dresser, unlike ordinary women, there were no piles of cosmetics on the table, only some simple skin care products and a few commonly used cosmetics.
"Do I want to give you a lipstick next time?" Lin Muyang picked up the only lipstick placed on Xu Anran's table, muttered to himself, and slowly put it down.
After looking around again, in the end, Lin Muyang slowly walked back to Xu Anran's bedside.
"Why isn't there anything ...... him?"
Lin Muyang looked at the sleeping person and whispered, not knowing whether to ask her or talk to himself. It's not sad or joyful, maybe somewhere, she still has a place for him, but he doesn't see it.
"Ranran's friend, come out quickly, the face is ready-"
Before the thoughts returned, there was a shout outside. Lin Muyang once again took the corner of the quilt for Xu Anran, turned off the lights, and closed the door of Xu Anran's room.
Mother Xu had already brought the finished noodles to the table, and poured a glass of hot milk and put it beside her.
Lin Muyang smiled and sat down in front of the dining table and took the initiative to pick up the chopsticks.
"Thank you, Auntie."
"Thank you, by the way, are you classmates with us?"
"Yes, it's been many years, and I just happened to be admitted to the same university and became a closer friend."
"Our family is natural, we haven't had many friends since we were children, and we don't know how to get along with people, so we love to be with that Yang...... Belch... It's nothing, Ran Ran can make such a righteous friend as you, and she still carries her back on this cold day, which is really her blessing. β
Xu Mu said softly, halfway through the words, as if she had thought of something, paused, smiled slightly embarrassedly, and walked around.
Lin Muyang saw it in her eyes, and knew what she originally planned to say, but she didn't say anything.
"Enron is very kind and smart, and many people like her. By the way, Auntie, isn't Uncle Xu at home? β
Lin Muyang took a bite of noodles, glanced around, and asked Xu's mother.
"Ah~ You, your uncle, went out to dinner with friends, and you haven't come back yet! Hehe~"
Mother Xu replied to Lin Muyang hesitantly, and laughed dryly twice, coupled with the strangeness in her eyes, she obviously wanted to hide something.
Lin Muyang just nodded and continued to eat noodles.
The people in the room opened their eyes and stared blankly at the ceiling, with undried tears in the corners of their eyes.
After Lin Muyang, who finished eating noodles, thanked Xu's mother, he also drove away in a hurry.
Xu's mother cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, then made a basin of hot water and walked to Xu Anran's room. As soon as he got closer, he saw Xu Anran's black eyes open.
"Wake up, isn't it uncomfortable, how about Mommy make you a bowl of decanting soup?"
"No, Daddy hasn't come back yet?"
"There are so many debts that need to be settled, and I am expected to come back in the middle of the night! It's you, running out to drink, Mommy is so worried....."
Xu's mother took the towel that had been in the water, wiped her palms for Xu Anran, and said while wiping. The tone that seemed to be reproachful was actually full of distress for Xu Anran, and she knew that she was bitter in her heart.
"Mommy, do you believe that what happened a year ago was arranged by Yang Qichen?"
Mother Xu didn't speak, just tightened her hand on the towel she was holding, and then went to change the water.
"I don't hate him, I hate myself."
"Yet... It's not your fault......"
"Even if it's as Dad said, everything is just his revenge, Mommy, I still can't hate him... But I can't forgive him..."
"Well, let's stop here."
β......β
Xu Anran was silent, but he had an answer in his heart.
That's the end of it, don't tear love apart anymore.
......
Tangmen because of the cooperation with the Lin family, the situation of the entire company has been greatly changed in an instant, the day Yang knew the news, it was like an explosion, the entire senior management questioned Yang Qichen's ability, plus Yang Qichen was imprisoned, no one came out, the general manager was vacant again, and several meetings were all discussing this matter.
Old Man Yang just sat in the position of the backbone every time, looking at the impetuous crowd casually, and did not make a clear statement, just said that Yang Qichen had his own plans and asked everyone to wait patiently.
The emperor is not in a hurry, and no matter how much a group of people jump, they will only jump on the shore, and they can't set off any stormy waves.
After the meeting was dispersed, Mr. Yang was about to go back to the old house accompanied by him, but halfway through, Xu Anran also got into the car.
Xu Anran looked out the car window, the peach trees on the side of the road, the leaves had fallen very little, only the dry branches, looking lonely and desolate in the dry winter.
In autumn, passing by here, he said that March is the time when the peach blossoms are in full bloom, and in March of the next year, he will bring himself over. Unexpectedly, they didn't even survive this year's winter.
It's ridiculous, I don't know at that time, how to talk about the next year?
Xu Anran blinked and withdrew his gaze.
Soon, the car drove to the old mansion, and the housekeeper was already waiting at the door.
Old Man Yang got out of the car and walked to the main hall on crutches, Xu Anran saw this, and immediately followed behind Old Man Yang and walked in together.
As soon as he entered the hall, Old Man Yang sat down on the main seat, did not say a word during the whole process, nor did he look at Xu Anran, but just calmly picked up the tea on the table.
"Old man, you asked someone to give me the words that day, I thought about it carefully for a few days, I still haven't figured it out, can you say it directly? To be honest, it's really tiring and boring to guess like this. But you said that if I didn't guess, I was worried in my heart, guessed, and I always guessed. Xu Anran didn't sit down, but just stood in front of the old man, saying what he wanted to say in a loud voice, without a trace of jealousy on his face.
Old Man Yang raised his eyebrows and glanced at Xu Anran, then put down the teacup and unbuttoned the first button on the collar of his Tang suit.
"You already understand, why do you pretend you don't understand?" After clearing his throat, Old Man Yang turned to Xu Anran and spoke slowly.
"No, I don't understand." Xu Anran flatly denied it.
"If you didn't understand, you wouldn't be here. I know what you're here for today. β
"The old man wants me to be a smart but obedient and gentle canary next to Yang Qichen, and he also wants to ask my opinion, right?"
"You know that I didn't mean that, but you have to say such things to hit me, do you actually want me to help you find out the truth?"
"The truth? Compared with the truth, the old man should hope that I believe Yang Qichen's words. It's not impossible, you rescue him, let him tell me personally, come and explain to me. β
"It's not that I don't save him, it's that he doesn't want to come out. He's waiting for you. β
"Grandpa has a way to do it, doesn't he?"
"If he told you personally, no matter what he said, would you believe it?" Old Man Yang slowly stood up, did not stop, and walked to Xu Anran with a slightly unsteady step.
Despite this, the tone is still force majeure, but unfortunately, the person who heard the words was Xu Anran.
"Never."
"In that case, why do you have to listen to his explanation?"
"Because he owes me. Your grandson left me two years ago, and only came to me two years later to tell me about the breakup, and now, all these things have happened, all the blame is related to him, if I don't ask, when will he come and explain to me, two years? Decade? Or twenty years? It's not that I can't afford to wait, it's that I'm not sure I'll want to have an intersection with him in this life. β
In the last sentence, even Xu Anran himself felt the tremor of his voice, but he still endured it and said it with a resolute face.
Xu Anran's words successfully made Old Man Yang frown, and the expression on his face changed from serious to worried.
"Little girl, do you want to finish it?"
"It's long overdue, isn't it?"
"Do you regret it?"
"His love for me has long since ended. Grandpa, this may be the last time I call you that, I have always respected you, but unfortunately we have no fate. I hope you can respect me, I love Yang Qichen, I love him very much, I love him so much that I can't hate him, I can't hate him. But that's why it should all end. I don't regret it, I don't owe him, from beginning to end, he owes me. β
Xu Anran was a little moved, although he had tried very hard to restrain the undercurrent in his heart, his eyes were still wet at this time.
"Well...... Little girl, you are a nightingale, not a canary. Don't worry, I'll let him out. β
"Thank you, then, I'm leaving."
"Let the driver drop you off."
"No, I'll take the bus."
Yang Zhongxiong looked at the back of Xu Anran leaving and sighed.
Once trust is lost, let alone crossing the city, it is even a threshold to step over.
