Volume 6: The City of the Heart (15)
It was quite a long serious exhortation, but the air in the car seemed to freeze a little.
"Are you crazy?" Chen Zhao was curious: "Still think I'm crazy?" Divorce Xia Qing? Give up your daughter again? ”
He was so angry that he wanted to laugh.
If Xia Qing insists on divorce, it is not that he can't agree, after all, Chen Zhao himself still knows very well that the twisted melon is not sweet. But if you even have to give custody of your daughter, there is no room for negotiation at all.
"Sure enough, that's pretty much the same thing." Wang Dong's eyes had an expression that he had expected, and he said calmly, "But have you thought about it, Chen Zhao, if you are with Xia Qing, she will not be happy, or compared to happiness, she has a very hard life." ”
'Life has been hard'.
These words were so harsh that Chen Zhao's trace of anger dissipated, and he fell silent for a long time.
"I'm working hard now, and my family has enough money to live on...", he finally defended himself.
Wang Dong nodded and replied, "Yes, I heard her talk about it." Say you've started working hard to make money. ”
Speaking of this, he took a deep breath, as if trying to stabilize his emotions that were about to explode.
"But Chen Zhao, do you think this is useful? She was still eating cheap staff meals with some of the most basic factory employees, and her leg was left with an ugly scar because she didn't buy some skin care products. She's dressed up to be prettier, have you seen her wear makeup? There are so many pieces of clothes going back and forth all day long, how many times have you seen her go out shopping? ”
Wang Dong sighed, "Chen Zhao, it's not that I came to embarrass you for other reasons. It's just that she doesn't live like an ordinary woman, you know? She didn't live a real life! It's okay now, but have you ever thought about it, for a few years when you didn't work, she worked overtime desperately, and now she still owes a lot of money to others, do you know this? ”
Chen Zhao lowered his head even more.
He knew that he was sorry for Xia Qing.
I'm sorry in many, many ways...
This remark made him feel some uncomfortable feelings that could not be described in words. He had never thought about Xia Qing's life, but the guilt that had slowly lurked in the past few months doubled up.
"She... Owe money? Chen Zhao bit his lip and asked in a low voice.
"Don't owe? Heh, Chen Zhao, do you think 4000 is enough to live, right? Yes, enough for your family. But how old was your daughter then? The milk powder money is enough for her headache! I asked her friend about this, and if she hadn't told you the address of her home, I might have run over and hit you. ”
“....”
"How much does she owe..."
"How much? I don't know. According to her friend, it seems that your family gave her some money and paid back a lot. Wang Dong replied.
"My family..."
Chen Zhao muttered, finally raised his head, let out a long breath, and looked at the visible half of the night sky in front of the car.
There are stars in the night sky tonight.
Although there were still few left of the neon lights that flickered in the summer of the tall buildings in the distance, the only ones that emerged were so dazzling. It makes people dare not look directly, and even gives people the idea that this night is not worthy of watching this scenery...
"I know I was wrong a lot. But I'm going to make up for it, and I'm working hard. Wang Dong, my feelings for Xia Qing are very complicated, you can't understand it, but I really, really want her to live a good life and make her happy..."
Yes, in Chen Zhao's world, he has no love for Xia Qing.
If you have to say it, family affection is a part. Gratitude counts as part of it. Like is also partial. But love doesn't mean love.
These are three combined complexes.
"How do you tell me to believe what you say?" Wang Dong sneered, and at this moment, that sense of gentleness disappeared.
"Because you want to do business, she started to slowly save money and work hard again. I want to get more paid. I even came to find me, who I don't like to ask very much. What is your attitude as a result? Chen Zhao, do you remember what your attitude was in the evening? Is this what you mean by happiness? ”
“...”
Chen Zhao was speechless.
He didn't want to listen anymore. But he still has to listen, only in the face of Xia Qing's matter, he can't escape, and he can't escape.
"Chen Zhao, my relationship with Xia Qing is more complicated than you think. I have known her for many years, and my feelings for her are definitely deeper than yours. ”
At this time, Wang Dong's tone began to slow down again, "If you don't love her as much as I do, give up on her and get divorced, okay?" You can't give her happiness like this. But she loves you very much, and I know, and you love you too..."
As he spoke, he paid attention to Chen Zhao's eyes, which had begun to shake a little.
"But can you give your daughter happiness like this? What if your business fails? Isn't the family going to collapse? If you don't do business, then continue to work like this to make money, buy a house, take out a loan. On that day, there was a change? Can there be happiness? ”
"As long as you file for divorce and are willing to give up your daughter, as long as you insist, she will eventually reluctantly agree... That way, she'll be free, won't she? Of course, don't worry, I can also compensate you... Houses and stuff like that... Or money..."
"Chen Zhao, I hope you think about it and make a choice. I'm just discussing with you, I don't force you to do anything, it's all up to you. If you want Xia Qing to continue to live like this..."
The conversation stopped.
....
The cold wind rustled Chen Zhao's clothes.
The wind is getting stronger and stronger, and with Chen Zhao's messy clothes, his whole person is about to be swept up...
Chen Zhao couldn't help but think, this is really biting cold.
Looking at the shadow of Wang Dong's departing car, he glanced at 8 o'clock on his mobile phone, swept around in confusion for a while, and finally smiled bitterly and walked back towards his home.
He was a very different person from the loneliness he had left a few hours earlier. It gives people a kind of, like the plastic bags that have been discarded in the street, dancing in the air with the strong wind...
Sad?
Maybe there aren't many words to describe it.
It was 8:12 a.m. when I got home.
The cold brought by the typhoon is almost compared to the cold winter, and the moment you open the door and feel the warmth of your home, the bleak cold is also gone....
"Daddy!"
When her daughter's immature voice came, she was about to pounce on Chen Zhao.
"Eh, wait, I'm cold, I'll close the door first." Chen Zhao hurriedly called out to his daughter, closed the door, and then squatted down, with a doting face, "Do you miss your father?" ”
"Yes!"
Xiaole hugged Chen Zhao's neck at once.
Standing up with her daughter in her arms, Chen Zhao's eyes fell on Xia Qing, who was sitting on the chair with a somewhat complicated emotion, and she sighed, "Are you hungry?" Eat? I'll fry you rice. ”
As he spoke, he stood up.
"No need, I've eaten it!" Chen Zhao shook his head.
"You didn't bring any money, did you?" Xia Qing was stunned.
"I ran into a friend... Please let me eat. ”
"Is it..."
In this silent atmosphere, Chen Zhao also forgot his dissatisfaction and anger at that time.
The stubbornness was gone, and he said softly, "I was too much in the evening... I shouldn't be like that, I know you're doing it for my good. ”
Xia Qing was stunned.
Chen Zhao's sudden apology caught her off guard, she didn't want to apologize, because Xia Qing thought she was right, she just wanted to slowly ease the atmosphere, but she didn't expect Chen Zhao to apologize...
"It's good not to be angry," she hesitated for a few seconds, and finally smiled, "It's good that you understand." Then invite him over tomorrow to have a good chat? Well, it's okay to go out and eat. ”
Chen Zhao did not answer.
Looking at his daughter's smiling face, he sighed, "Xiaole, you go wash your hands, Dad and so on will take you to eat something delicious, okay?" ”
"Delicious? Good! ”
The daughter jumped down and ran to the bathroom.
And in this room, in this short distance, only Chen Zhao, who was emotionally complicated, and Xia Qing, who was a little stunned, remained.
"Xia Qing..."
Chen Zhao gritted his teeth, "You say... Wouldn't it be better for us to get divorced..."
