Chapter 14: The Banquet (2)
Shen's mother felt sorry for her daughter, her daughter had not been wronged anywhere, but in this relationship, she seemed to have made up for all the grievances she should have suffered elsewhere at once.
In the final analysis, the marriage between Xu Xiao and Shen Jiaqi is Shen Jiaqi's wishful thinking, and the interests of the two families are tied.
Now that five years have passed, the vitality of the Xu Group has slowly recovered, and the cooperation between the two has gradually stabilized, and it doesn't matter whether there is a connection in this marriage or not.
At the beginning, she agreed to this marriage because she wanted Shen Jiaqi to die, so that she would completely repent after seeing the Yellow River hit the south wall.
And what makes her happy and distressed is that Shen Jiaqi is no longer as firm as she was at the beginning.
She has always been reckless, but the last time she came home, she showed fatigue and confusion.
She is glad that her daughter can now slowly withdraw herself from this humble relationship, and she feels sorry for the grievances that Shen Jiaqi has suffered in the past five years.
"Huh? Zhizhi, Jia Ji, you are here, oops, long time no see! A smiling lady saw Shen Jiaqi and Shen's mother and walked towards them.
The person who came was Mrs. Wang, the proprietress of the steel company in B city, she had a very good relationship with Shen's mother in her early years, the smooth cheongsam wrapped her round figure, and the rich smiling face gave people a sense of intimacy, giving people the first impression that she was a bee growing up in a honey pot, mellow and happy.
Wang Cuilan saw Shen's mother who was being pulled by her daughter's arm, and the facial features on her face gathered together because of her smile, "Oh, sister, you're still so tight!" ”
After speaking, she took Shen Jiaqi's hand and looked it up and down, and nodded with satisfaction, "Jiaqi is also getting more and more beautiful." ”
"And our son-in-law is not only successful in his career, but also in appearance." As she spoke, she also looked left and right and approached the three of them, and said cautiously, "I don't know how many little girls are staring at you as soon as you enter the door, but the relationship between the two of you husband and wife is so good that they can't get close." ”
Wang Cuilan envied Shen's mother in her heart, although she is also rich now, but her nature has been fixed in the past few decades.
She and Mrs. Shen are college classmates and have a good relationship. Shen's mother went on a hunger strike when she was young in order to maintain her figure, she knew that small tomatoes were both low-fat and could promote metabolism and help weight loss, so every time she bought fruit, she would bring a little to share with Shen's mother, and once Shen's mother was hungry because she ate too little, she was the first to find out and brought her to the infirmary.
When Shen's mother woke up, she saw Wang Cuilan crying in front of her bed with a handful of snot and tears, and saw Shen's mother crying louder when she woke up, "Zhizhi, my father just called me and said that the daughter of the aunt next door was admitted to the intensive care unit because of a hunger strike, Zhizhi, you must not be fine." ”
Yu Yuzhi looked at the girl who was crying more uncomfortable than her as a patient, and later Yu Yuzhi brought Wang Cuilan to her party, and then Wang Cuilan found out that her roommate was actually a rich second generation.
And she also met a boy who blushed at her at that party, the boy's family is well-off, his family runs a steel factory, and he is also kind and reliable, Yu Yuzhi quietly helped his friend, and since then the girl who came to the big city from the countryside to go to school has formed her own family in the city.
After marriage, her husband cared for her very much, she studied food at home to accompany the children to grow up, her son and daughter are also very good, her daughter got married last year, Yu Yuzhi also went to her wedding.
"Aunt Wang, Sister Leran's husband is also very good." Shen Jiaqi and Wang Cuilan have met a few times and know that she and her mother are old friends.
When she heard Shen Jiaqi mention her daughter's husband, she immediately laughed, "Yes, yes, yes, although they are still a little worse than Jiaqi, but Lin He is very happy and happy, sometimes I feel that he spoils her." ”
"Some time ago, Le Ran was pregnant, Lin He knew about it, and immediately pushed a lot of work, followed Le Ran every day, cooked pregnant meals for her, and told her stories and jokes, saying that it was to prevent depression during childbirth."
"Your happiness is almost spoiled as a crab at home, so you almost left sideways, how can you still worry about it." Wang Cuilan shared to herself, not noticing the trace of unnaturalness and impatience that flashed on Shen's mother Yu Yuzhi's face.
At this time, Xu Xiao's business partner saw him, so Xu Xiao left temporarily, leaving Shen Jiaqi with Yu Yuzhi and Wang Cuilan.
Seeing Xu Xiao walking away, Wang Cuilan asked Shen Jiaqi curiously, "Jiaqi, why haven't you had children after five years of marriage with your son-in-law?" Your sister has been married for two years and has children. ”
Yu Yuzhi frowned slightly, although she knew that Wang Cuilan was kind, but after so many years, her sense of proportion still did not grow as always.
"The child has a big heart, and his career is also on the rise, and having a child at this time will affect the work too much, and the two children will not be in a hurry if they want to be free for two more years." Shen's mother answered this question for her daughter.
"That's too," Wang Cuilan sighed, "Jia Ji and his son-in-law are both people who attach great importance to their careers, and they put their careers first, and they put their careers first. ”
"But it's a good time, you are not young now, you still have to make plans for this as soon as possible, and there will be risks in getting pregnant in the future." Wang Cuilan kindly reminded again.
Mother Shen couldn't bear it anymore, she found an excuse that Shen's father was waiting for her in the back hall, so she said hello to Wang Cuilan and pulled Shen Jiaqi away.
When he came to the room, Shen Jiaqi looked at his mother with red eyes, and felt a little guilty in his heart.
"Mom, Aunt Wang is also kind, and besides, what she said is right, people care about us."
"If she cares, it's better not to care, she really can't speak."
"Aunt Wang is still like this after so many years......"
After so many years, a person still maintains the appearance of being unscheming when she was a teenager, which shows that this person has not been hit and hurt by the outside world, and she is loved very well.
Yu Yuzhi didn't know this truth, she was a little unbalanced in her heart, she felt sorry for her daughter, she was so good but she didn't meet a good person for her.
And Wang Cuilan lives as if she saved the galaxy in her last life, although she was born in the countryside, she has never suffered or been tired since she was a child, and she has grown up to marry a good husband, and the children she gave birth to are as happy as her.
She is no worse than Wang Cuilan, but her daughter is not as good as other people's daughters, and her children are so good.
"Mom......" Shen Jiaqi gently patted Yu Yuzhi's back and comforted her.
She knew why her mother was sad, and she made her mother worry about her.
Yu Yuzhi sorted out her emotions, coughed lightly and asked Shen Jiaqi, "Jiaqi, you and Xu Xiao grew up under the watchful eye of your mother since childhood, you have been the treasure in the palm of your parents since you were a child, and your parents want you to be happy instead of watching you force yourself." ”
"Xu Xiao, this child has a cold temperament since he was a child, and his personality is a little withdrawn and even weird, when you liked her, my mother thought that you would only maintain your enthusiasm for a few years, after all, no one will always cover a stone with enthusiasm, and my mother didn't care too much, thinking that you would slowly like other better people."
"As a result, I didn't expect you to put your heart into it for so many years, and even put your own marriage into it," Shen's mother closed her eyes and sighed, "It's been five years, do you regret it?" Or have you ever regretted it? ”
"Mom......" Shen Jiaqi's throat was sour.
"Mom is the closest person to you, I hope you are doing well," Shen's mother paused, "Now that the Xu family has slowly come out of the previous blow, Xu Xiao doesn't need your help." ”
"I know that you used to feel sorry for him and were willing to pay for him, but now he is developing well and no longer needs your help, but you have to face this unbalanced marriage when you are tired and busy."
"Jia Ji, if you want to end this marriage, the Shen family will always be your dependence, our two families have signed a contract, no matter how you and Xu Xiao will continue to cooperate after marriage, besides, Jia Ji You can find a better one on your terms, don't go all the way to the dark, my mother always hopes that you will be happy."
Hearing Shen's mother's words, Shen Jiaqi's heart was not pantothenic, she knew that her parents regarded her as the meat of their hearts.
She still remembers that once she accidentally fell asleep in the garden, and her parents looked for her for a long time but did not find her hiding in a small hidden place in the garden, and when she woke up and walked to her parents with her confused eyes, they cried like a child.
"Mom, don't worry about me, I know it in my heart, and ..... I don't seem to like Xu Xiao as much as I used to. ”
Shen's mother's figure was stunned, and she looked at Shen Jiaqi with some surprise
Shen Jiaqi continued, "This is also what I discovered recently, and I don't seem to understand why I insisted so much when I think about it now, in fact, I was thinking about divorce several times ago. ”
"But Mom, you know what? Just when I was about to give up, Xu Xiao suddenly confessed to me, saying that he had always had feelings for me. ”
"But ......," Yu Yuzhi wondered.
"Mom, actually, I don't understand," Shen Jiaqi smiled, "I don't understand what Xu Xiao means, but I don't want to tell whether this sentence is true or false." ”
"After so many years, my efforts have finally been rewarded," Shen Jiaqi paused for a second or two, "I want to continue to walk with him for a while, although I can't know how long this time is, but this is the last time, I won't be addicted anymore." ”
"That's fine, fortunately you don't have children, and it's easier to leave when the time comes, and the break will be cleaner."
"Hmmm......"
......
Xu Xiao, who had just seen Shen Jiaqi and Yu Yuzhi leave together, glanced at them more, and he found that his mother-in-law's expression was a little strange, and somehow he was curious and followed him.
He stood behind the wall, which was a temporary partition decoration made by the winery, and the sound insulation was very poor, so he stood there and listened to the conversation between Shen Jiaqi and Yu Yuzhi.
Those words seemed to crush his heart like an invisible giant hand. The heart that had finally slowly cleared away the clouds was covered by a haze at this time.
He crouched down and clenched his fists against his head.
The neurites in his brain burst out, and the blood seemed to break free from the shackles of blood vessels and rush out of his body, and at this moment, he had a splitting headache.
