Volume 6: The City of the Heart (12)
Love has an expiration date.
What about family affection?
Maybe give enough courage to Chen Zhao to face Yang Xiaoru's matter. But in any case, the only thing he doesn't want to face and dare not face now is his parents.
Love is beautiful, Chen Zhao does not deny this. But love is too complicated, and no one can sort it out. After all, this is so extravagant and beautiful to talk about, but it is often so cheap.
But family affection won't.
He believes that no matter how much this body does wrong, his parents will still forgive him. Just like my feelings for my daughter Xiaole, as long as I am willing to repent, everything can be restored...
Chen Zhao was full of expectant fantasies.
But I'm afraid.
He was sure how much wrong this body had made. But as far as he knows, he lost everything just by gambling, even the house given by his parents, and eighty percent took a lot of money from his parents... Therefore, he was afraid that his parents would not forgive him as much as he thought.
Coupled with the rejection of borrowing money for his daughter's tuition, the downright coldness in his words made Chen Zhaohou afraid to this day.
Yes, he chose to escape. Even if Xia Qing's life was so difficult when he was hospitalized, when he couldn't persevere, he didn't think about his parents. He was afraid that what little hope and illusion he had had left would be shattered.
In fact, Chen Zhao knows that his family should be quite rich, if his parents return to spoiling themselves like when they were 18 years old, then the house, living expenses, everything, not to mention such a hard work and life...
Thinking of these, Chen Zhao cared about Xia Qing's family.
After all, he has been in this world for so long, and Chen Zhao has not understood this.
Her daughter's simple words made Chen Zhao think too much for a while. He smiled bitterly and rubbed his daughter's head, "Do you like grandparents?" ”
"Like! Grandparents are very good to Xiaole. ”
Chen Zhao saw the 'expectation' and 'nostalgia' in his daughter's eyes. The eyes that seemed to glow made him feel guilty.
If it weren't for the fault of this body, my daughter wouldn't be like this, right? I can live a good life, wear beautiful new clothes, have toys that little girls of the same age will touch, go to a better kindergarten...
"Wait a little longer," Chen Zhao smiled, "When the Chinese New Year comes, we'll go to see our grandparents." Grandparents must also want to see Xiaole. ”
"Hmm!"
Chinese New Year...
....
Time may be fast or slow. The usual boring and difficult long days, on this day with my daughter, it was the opposite easy and simple.
Chen Zhao felt that his world was like a basin of boiled water dripping with pink paint....
Instantly assimilated into that warm pink.
In the blink of an eye, a day passed like this.
Hu Guiyu seems to like the well-behaved and sensible Xiaole, and when Chen Zhao got off work, he came to allow him to take his daughter over at any time, and he could put it there if he was too busy, she could watch it when she had nothing to do... He was overjoyed and hurriedly thanked him.
This can be regarded as solving Chen Zhao's biggest headache. He didn't want to trouble Zhang Mei all the time, and if he could take it with him, he would be much more at ease.
took his daughter home, turned on the TV for her, and told her to wait obediently for Xia Qing to come back, Chen Zhao rode a bicycle and went back to the original road, bought some fruit and went to Yang Xiaoru's house.
"I knew you were coming." The moment she opened the door and saw Chen Zhao, Yang Xiaoru smiled.
"I'm just here to talk to you about something." Chen Zhao frowned and put the fruit on the table, "Zhang Jun and Yu Yazhi are together..."
“....”
Yang Xiaoru was stunned for a moment, and then smiled, "This is normal, and it's not a strange thing, speaking of which, I know Zhang Jun better than you." ”
Seeing that she was still smiling, Chen Zhao felt that he was thinking too much, so he turned around and left.
"Don't talk about it this time?"
"There's nothing to talk about."
"What do you think of your family?" Yang Xiaoru smiled, looking at this somewhat inexplicable smile, Chen Zhao felt a little uncomfortable, he thought about it and asked, "What do you think?" What do you mean? ”
"Do you still want a divorce now?"
Hearing the word divorce, Chen Zhao's face was not very good-looking.
"Yang Xiaoru, I don't know what your idea is. But I don't want a divorce. What do you want to say, what do you do, how do you want to really let me go... If you ask for it, I'll do it. I'm like this, I'm really tired, really... There are a lot of good men in this world, you can look for them casually, how can you not find them?"
"I'll let you go if you get divorced." She laughed, "In other words, you don't have to be afraid of me when you're divorced, can you?" ”
But looking at Chen Zhao's increasingly gloomy face, she looked at Chen Zhao who was standing not far from the door, closed the door, and said with a smile, "Just kidding, you can go." Thinking I'll tell you. ”
Click...
The door closed.
Yang Xiaoru stood at the door, calmly looking at the closed silver iron door with a smile, and gradually, the smile retracted.
"Chen Zhao... I don't want you to have a good life.... So is Jang Jun! ”
.....
It was still a bit cloudy, but it was a mild day.
It was quiet before the storm.
In the evening, the clouds were denser than ever, and it was a beautiful dusk, but it was not pleasant.
Chen Zhao was in a bad mood this night.
When he first arrived at the door of the house, he saw Xia Qing walking down from a black car, and after that, Wang Dong, who he hadn't seen for a long time, came down from the other side.
Seriously, seeing this scene, Chen Zhao laughed a little strangely.
The comparison between himself riding his old car and this small car is really not ordinary funny. It can't help it.
Of course, it was just the first feeling, and maybe there was some inferiority, but it was quickly relieved. He knew that he and Wang Dong were indeed very different in some aspects, and there was no comparison. In the past two months, he has gradually let go of certain things...
He also doesn't have so many weird rejections or inexplicable psychology. Xia Qing just came back in someone else's car, it's not something that can't be accepted, it is estimated that it is because of work, or it may be forced to send it, Xia Qing has no choice...
What made him unhappy was that after being seen by Xia Qing and stopping the bicycle, she said hello, 'Go home?' What about Xiaole? Later, he said, "Wang Dong wants to come to our house for dinner." ”
"Eating at our house? Why? ”
Chen Zhao didn't answer her first question, and his stable mood was very chaotic, and his face was cold, "Why?" ”
Xia Qing was a little stunned when he saw Chen Zhao's big reaction, but his face was a little unsightly, he bit his lip and lowered his head, "Chen Zhao... Actually...."
"I just wish I could come to your house for a meal, as a colleague. Didn't you say last time that I was welcome? Wang Dong replied first.
In some ways, Chen Zhao doesn't care.
Because Xia Qing has been with this body for several years, he is unlikely to believe that he has betrayed himself. Of course, this possibility is not impossible, such as... is like Yang Xiaoru. But it's a small odds, isn't it?
So when he saw Wang Dong's car get down, Chen Zhaocai didn't have a mustard.
But Wang Dong has a good impression of Xia Qing, and the relationship between the two is not ordinary, which is an indelible fact.
And this home is the only one that Chen Zhao owns, which makes Wang Dong jealous, and this is the area he does not allow him to contaminate.
"Sorry, no!" Chen Zhao said in a deep voice: "It's okay to be a guest, but it's not okay to eat." You can ask Xia Qing to invite you out to eat, you can eat anywhere, you can't be at my house! ”
This indifference and decisiveness, with a tone that could not be refused, made Xia Qing, who had hesitation and stop in his eyes, a little incomprehensible.
Wang Dong was also a little dumbfounded.
"Chen Zhao... He came for a meal, but it was nothing. There's a reason for that..."Xia Qing spoke.
"Xiaole is at home, I just went out." Chen Zhao answered her initial question, then glanced at Wang Dong, turned around and left.
"Don't you ask why?" Wang Dong smiled and said, "Doesn't this seem very small? For men. ”
"I'm not a child. If I'm angry, I'll be angry when I see Xia Qing get out of your car. But this is my family, and I have the right to call the shots. Besides, my daughter doesn't like you either. Chen Zhao turned his head and left.
