Chapter 115: The first step of the mission
On Friday night, Li Wenbo and Xie Yu organized another round to make an appointment with the best man and bridesmaid group.
Li Wenbo looked at his good brother, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion, the wedding date is approaching day by day, and the matter of Xiao Yining and Lin Youan is still unknown.
He was not only worried that he would lose a best man, but also worried that his brother's hard-won love would end without a hitch.
"Hey......" Li Wenbo sighed in a low voice.
"What's wrong with you?"
Xie Yu looked at Li Wenbo, who was suddenly depressed, thinking that he was still worried about the best man.
"It's really not good, call your cousin who runs the shop to be your best man."
"That's right!" Li Wenbo slapped the table with understanding.
"How did I forget my cousin."
After Xie Yu's reminder, Lin Youan also remembered Li Wenbo's handsome cousin.
She glanced at Wang Lelan, but it was a pity that the cousin was married, otherwise she would have liked to match him with her good sister.
"I'll ask my cousin to come out and sit with you tomorrow?" Li Wenbo said to everyone.
Lin Youan hurriedly raised his hand: "Report, I'm not available this weekend." I want to go home. โ
Wang Lelan glanced at Li Wenbo, who was looking at himself.
This look?
She immediately understood that Li Wenbo did it on purpose, and at this time, it was time for her to go out.
"You'an, I'm okay with the weekend off, I'll go back with you, right? It's been a long time since I've seen my aunt and grandmother. โ
"Okay. They must be happy to see you. โ
In this way, Wang Lelan successfully completed the first step of the task.
Xie Yu, who was in the dark, was still laughing at Xiao Yining, his girlfriend came home with a girlfriend instead of a boyfriend.
Xiao Yining smiled bitterly, then took a bowl of soup and handed it to Lin Youan.
Lin Youan drank soup and chatted with Wang Lelan, but he didn't notice that his boyfriend's mood was gradually declining......
ยท
The next day, Wang Lelan accompanied Lin Youan on the journey home.
Along the way, Lin Youan chatted with Wang Lelan about various past events, and even began to look forward to her mother's happy expression after she knew that she had found a boyfriend.
Wang Lelan listened to Lin You'an's story quietly, and occasionally made a few jokes with her, but her heart had already become a mess.
"You'an, what if Auntie doesn't agree with you and Xiao Yining?"
Lin Youan suppressed his smile: "Don't agree? โ
She really didn't think about it.
Xiao Yining is so good and loves himself so much, and he will definitely love his mother in the future.
The two families know each other well, what reason does my mother have to object?
But......
Lin Youan's mind suddenly flashed the conversation with Brother A Fu in the noodle restaurant when he returned to his hometown with Xiao Yining for the first time, what was his pity? And for what did you sigh and shake your head?
Mom doesn't let me mention my dad anymore, and she doesn't let herself find Chubby, why in the end?
Seeing Lin Youan's expression in a trance, Wang Lelan hurriedly patted her hand.
"Don't be nervous, I'll just ask."
Lin Youan came back to his senses: "I'm not nervous, I just feel that something is wrong." โ
"Something is wrong?" Wang Lelan's heart jumped to his throat.
"It's nothing, maybe I'm thinking too much."
Lin Youan comforted himself.
She and Xiao Yining have been separated for almost twenty years and can continue their relationship, which is enough to show the depth of their fate.
She shouldn't think about all those things that catch the wind and shadows, and she firmly believes that they will always be happy.
ยท
When the two arrived at Lin You'an's house, it was already noon.
Lin's mother and grandmother have already prepared a table of dishes waiting for the two girls.
As soon as she entered the door, Wang Lelan warmly hugged her grandmother and Lin's mother, and Lin Youan was left aside.
"Grandma, Mom, I'm You'an." Lin Youan, who was left out in the cold, decided to speak for himself.
Mother Lin saw her daughter stomping her feet on the side, and turned around to hug her: "Le Lan hasn't been here for a long time, you can eat this vinegar." โ
"Silly boy." Grandma also pointed at Lin Youan with a smile, "Come here, grandma hug." โ
"Grandma." Lin Youan trotted into the old man's arms and sprinkled coquettishly.
Mother Lin pulled Wang Lelan to sit at the dinner table, and her grandmother also took Lin Youan to sit down, and the four of them chatted while eating.
Halfway through the meal, Lin Youan saw that the atmosphere was just right, so he got to the point.
"Mom, Grandma, I have something I want to tell you." Lin Youan put down the dishes and chopsticks in his hand.
Lin's mother and grandmother also stopped.
"I'm in love."
"Really?" Grandma asked happily.
"How's the other party doing? What about your background and family background? Where are the people? How old is it? Is the job good? What about character......"
Mother Lin's questions were one after another, and Lin Youan didn't have time to answer them at all.
Wang Lelan looked at Mother Lin, her face was full of joy, but the question was in a tone of interrogation.
As a mother, it is normal to have such emotions, hoping that her daughter will soon find someone to entrust her life, but she is afraid that she will meet someone unladylike.
"Mom, don't worry, you ask so many questions at once, which one do I want to answer you."
"That's right, I'm not in a hurry, you speak slowly."
Only then did Lin's mother calm down and switch from questioning mode to listening mode.
Lin Youan told Xiao Yining's current family situation and work situation to his mother and grandmother.
It can be seen from the expressions of the two elders that they are generally very satisfied.
"Mom, grandma, that boy you know is our former neighbor, Chubby Ding."
Lin Youan excitedly opened the photo of Xiao Yining on his mobile phone and handed it to Lin's mother and grandmother.
After hearing the words "Little Fat Ding", the expressions of Mother Lin and Grandma froze.
Grandma's eyes were full of disbelief and regret, she looked at Lin Youan, her mouth twitched slightly, and she didn't open her mouth after all.
Wang Lelan looked at Mother Lin, she looked down at Xiao Yining's photo, and a trace of horror flashed in her eyes.
Mother Lin immediately turned her head away and pushed her mobile phone in front of Lin Youan: "I don't agree." โ
Lin Youan's expectant expression disappeared instantly with the four words of Mother Lin.
"Why?" Lin Youan blurted out.
"Anyway, I don't agree, don't you ask why?"
Mother Lin got up solemnly and walked towards her room. Immediately afterward, there was a heavy slamming of the door.
"Mom......" Lin Youan shouted at Lin's mother's back.
She just wanted to get up, but was pressed down by her grandmother.
"You'an, sit down, don't disturb your mother yet."
"Grandma, why doesn't my mother agree, Little Fat Ding is really good to me, and I like him very much."
Grandma pressed Lin Youan's hand and unconsciously increased her strength and said, "This ......"
Grandma raised her eyes to look at Wang Lelan, her eyes were complicated.
Wang Lelan couldn't be sure for a while whether her grandmother's eyes made her leave, or let her stabilize Lin Youan first.
"Grandma, tell me what happened to our two families in the past."
Lin Youan is now very sure that Brother Afu's words are true and there is a reason.
Wang Lelan put her hands on Lin Youan's shoulders and gently comforted her: "You'an, don't worry. โ
Grandma threw a grateful look at Wang Lelan.
"Grandma, I'm sorry."
Grandma got up and walked to Lin's mother's room and knocked on the door, but no one answered.
Grandma turned to look at Lin Youan and Wang Lelan, and knocked on the door again: "Daughter, since this matter can't be avoided, let Youan know." โ
Lin Youan got up and walked to Lin's mother's room: "Mom, I'm sorry, I had a bad attitude just now. You open the door first and tell me why, okay? โ
The room was quiet, and Wang Lelan vaguely heard a choked sound coming from Lin's mother's room.
She knew that Mother Lin at this moment must be extremely tormented in her heart, her future son-in-law's father died in her own hands, how would she face Xiao Yining.
If her daughter knew about this, what would she think of herself?
I don't know how long it took, there was suddenly no movement in the house, and after a while, the door of the room slowly opened, and Mother Lin appeared in front of everyone with tears on her face.
Lin Youan looked at his mother, although there was no crying anymore, the tears on his mother's face still kept flowing down.
"Mom, don't cry." Lin Youan raised his hand to wipe away the tears on Lin's mother's face.
"You'an, help Auntie go back to the room and sit down."
Wang Lelan got up, walked to Lin You'an, and helped Lin's mother to the edge of the bed and sat down.
Seeing that Lin's mother's emotions were still tense, she withdrew from the room and helped her grandmother who was standing at the door to sit back in the living room.
In this way, Lin Youan, who accompanied his mother in the house, and Wang Lelan, who accompanied his grandmother in the living room, learned the truth of the incident from the mouths of the two elders respectively.
Wang Lelan's narration of her grandmother is not surprising, and the situation is basically the same as Xiao Yining's narration.
It's just that for the ambiguous relationship between Dad Lin and Mama Xiao, the mothers of the two families have obviously different angles - Mama Lin is still skeptical about the relationship between Dad You'an and Mama Xiao.
Lin You'an in the house, after listening to his mother's story, the whole person was silent.
She leaned against the edge of the bed, her whole body trembling slightly.
Her eyes were red and swollen from crying, but the tears were still flowing, and her heart was full of sharp dull pain.
Now, she has no words to describe her emotions.
Mother Lin also began to whimper when she saw her daughter in such pain.
Lin Youan only felt that her breathing became heavier and heavier, she covered her face with her hands, not wanting her mother to see her sadness, but the sobbing from time to time turned into a continuous low cry.
She wanted to ask Wang Lelan for help, but she didn't know how to talk about it at all, and even if she used everything she had learned in her life, she couldn't tell her current mood.
If Xiao Yining knew about this, what would he think? What will he do?
She had fantasized about all kinds of bright futures with Xiao Yining, but at this moment, they all lost their color and everything was gray......
Wang Lelan, who was outside the house, heard that the house was gradually quieting down, and asked her grandmother again.
"Grandma, if Little Chubby Ding can let go of that past, do you think Auntie is ......"
In fact, You'an's mother has been in pain all these years, she regrets it very much, but she is even more afraid that You'an will dislike her after knowing about it. So she can only hide her guilt and remorse by losing her temper every time. โ
Grandma took a deep breath: "Unexpectedly, she has been hiding all her life, and in the end she still can't hide." โ
"Grandma, You'an and Little Fat Ding really love each other, do we want to tie up their current happiness because of their past mistakes?"
Grandma: "......"
"Grandma, you also want You'an to be happy, and now we are the only ones who can help her."
"Lady Lelan." Grandma looked at Wang Lelan, she knew that this girl must have an idea in her heart.
Wang Lelan leaned into her grandmother's ear and talked about her plan......
