Chapter 622: Olive Branch
This meal was sloppy, and in the current situation, everyone doesn't have so much focus on private life and feelings.
After the meal, Wen Borong also received a call and asked him to go to the Third Hospital.
He looked at Xu Yanqing with a serious face, and said, "Otherwise, you will go with me?"
Mrs. Wen said, "If the situation is tricky, you can go with you, and I will arrange for someone to send Chen Nian back later, and I happen to be home alone, and I also want someone to chat with me." Now people's hearts are panicking, and my heart is not stable, so it is better to have someone by my side."
Chen Nian: "You come along, I'm here to accompany Mrs. Wen, let me stay at home alone, I'll also be worried, it's better to have a companion with Mrs. Wen here."
"Okay."
Then, Xu Yanqing left with Wen Borong.
Mrs. Wen asked the nanny to serve dessert after the meal, "I heard that you like sweets very much, I don't know if you like these things I have prepared."
The three desserts are Chen Nian's preferred varieties, and Mrs. Wen asked her to eat them first and go upstairs to get something by herself.
There was news on TV about the virus.
Chen Nian looked at the relevant reports, and the dessert in his mouth turned into a bitter taste.
Mrs. Wen took a piece of jade pendant of peace to Chen Nian and said, "This is what I asked for in the temple a few years ago when I went to worship the Buddha with my friends. At that time, I asked everyone in my family for a piece, but in fact, I would ask a fortune teller to tell Yu Nong's fortune, which already hinted to me that maybe the person was no longer there."
"It's just that I don't want to believe it, I always think about where she might be in a city to live her own life, or to get together with her sister and live a new life for the two of us. Maybe I wasn't good enough for her at the time, so she didn't want to stay in this house."
"Actually, for a long time, I was quite angry with her, angry that she just left quietly, not thinking of this place as her own home at all, and not treating me as her own mother. So I thought, let her suffer outside, and when she suffers, she will come back."
Chen Nian listened quietly.
Mrs. Wen watched her eat the cake, reached out and touched her head, and said, "Niannian, why don't you stay with me and treat this place as your home, okay?"
Chen Nian swallowed the cake in his mouth, "But I've never met this aunt, let alone have any feelings. My mother didn't see her until she died, didn't you find your aunt's daughter?"
Mrs. Wen sighed, tears glistening in her eyes, and said, "Both mother and daughter have died. I just think that you look a little similar to Yu Nong, which makes me feel very familiar, so I have this idea. I have two sons, and they rarely come back to see me after they get married, and my grandchildren all go abroad to study, and they rarely even call me on weekdays except for the New Year's holidays."
"So when I'm older, I always miss Yunong, and I always think that if she's still around, she'll definitely come to see me from time to time. Sometimes my children are too good to be around, and in this situation, I can only worry about it at home. You see that Lao Wen is not young, and he still has to run around, and I can't help much, so I can only guard at home."
"Maybe I'm too lonely, I hope that someone can always be by my side, life has come to this day, what do you think I have to look forward to? That is, children and grandchildren are often on their knees. You should be regarded as the appeal of a lonely old man, if you are free on weekdays, you will often come to see me, I believe that you also need a home, a backing that can support you. Isn't it?"
Obviously, Chen Nian's background has been investigated clearly.
Chen Nian was silent for a while and said, "Actually, I also long to have a family and a backing. But your family ......," she smiled reluctantly, "I'm afraid I can't climb high, and you should know my background, and I don't want to drag down your reputation because of this."
"What? Will the people of the Xu family mind this background of yours?"
Chen Nian: "Not really."
Mrs. Wen: "Isn't that good, we are not rigid people, you have nothing to do with those things, not to mention that the affairs of the Qi family have passed for so long, no one will get up again, I think you are not at all."
Don't take it personally, it's all about living your own life."
Chen Nian lowered his head and looked at the jade pendant in his palm.
Mrs. Wen took the teacup on the coffee table, took a shallow sip, with a shallow smile in her expression, and secretly observed Chen Nian's expression, she finished drinking the tea, handed Chen Nian a cup, and said, "You don't need to think so much, you just need to think that from now on, there will be one more home, and there will be more people who can take care of you and love you." That's something to be happy about, isn't it?"
The cup of the purple clay pot is not insulated, but the temperature of this tea is just right, with warmth, at such a temperature, it can give people warmth.
It's like an olive branch thrown by Mrs. Wen to Chen Nian.
Xu Yanqing took Wen Borong's car to the hospital.
There are very few vehicles and pedestrians on the road, and as the Chinese New Year approaches, there will be fewer people on Beicheng Street, and the red lanterns hanging on the street lamps reveal the atmosphere of the New Year everywhere.
The car came to a stop at a red light.
At the intersection of the full road, there is an ambulance rushing by.
Wen Borong took out a pack of cigarettes from the storage box and handed one to Xu Yanqing, "This situation is tricky, right? I don't know who will be everyone's hero and save people from fire and water."
The cigarette was lit, Wen Borong lowered the car window, and looked sideways at the two young people hurrying over on the zebra crossing.
Wen Borong took two puffs of cigarette and said, "Your Xu family, in fact, I am more familiar with Xu Kaichang, but I didn't expect him to be from your Xu family, which is quite surprising."
"Big brother has always been a role model, and when the news came out, I was also surprised."
Wen Borong turned his face sideways and looked at Xu Yanqing, he didn't smoke, the cigarette was pinched in his hand, "Are you okay?" I've also heard about the matter between you and Xu Ting, how are you recovering from your injuries?"
"It's fine."
"Your Xu family has had a series of accidents in the past two years, and every single one of them is a big event, if it weren't for your grandfather's support, your family's reputation would have landed a long time ago."
Xu Yanqing met his gaze, "Yes."
"No wonder he's already retired and come out again. Is he afraid that there will be no successor?"
Xu Yanqing smiled but did not speak.
The red light jumped, Wen Borong started the car, put the cigarette in his hand, and said, "But I think it's redundant for him to do this, with you, the Xu family can't do it."
The car entered the third courtyard, and it could be seen from the outside that the situation in the courtyard was tense.
The expression on Wen Borong's face also became serious, and he searched for a long time before he found a parking space to park.
Xu Yan unfastens his seat belt.
Wen Borong suddenly reached out and grabbed the seat belt in his hand, and strained hard.
Xu Yanqing didn't resist, and the seat belt rubbed against his neck, which hurt slightly.
He looked sideways, and Wen Borong's eyes were full of anger.
