Chapter 107: The Real Reason (Three Watches)
Ren's sister-in-law is named Marianna, and she is the only sister of his mother Susan.
The two sisters were born in Los Angeles and later moved to New York with their parents, where Susan was discovered by a modeling agency and officially debuted as a model.
After Susan's model debut, she was favored by many top luxury brands because of her superior appearance, walked many shows, and also made advertisements and endorsements, earning a lot of money.
Her younger sister Mariana also gradually became interested in fashion, and after graduating from college, she also worked in makeup in New York, and now has a successful career.
The relationship between the two sisters has always been very good, supporting and helping each other.
After her sister unfortunately passed away that year, Mariana rushed to Nanjiang City as soon as possible to pay tribute to her sister and clean up her relics.
After learning that his sister's only son was still young, and his father Ren Qiwen not only cheated, but also ignored the child.
Out of concern for Ren Sui, and worried that Ren Sui would have psychological problems, Mariana weighed it again and again, negotiated with Ren Sui's grandfather, and took Ren Sui back to New York.
After returning to New York, Mariana worked and took care of Ren Sui with her parents until he returned to Nanjiang City at the age of 15.
For Ren Sui, the time in New York was probably the happiest day for him except for the time he spent with his mother.
It was also thanks to the time with Mariana and her grandparents that Ren did not embark on the same path as his mother to end his life
Of course, when he returned to Nanjiang City again, he saw his father who didn't care about the family, and the second harm that his grandfather only valued for him, so I won't mention it for the time being.
For Ren, Mariana is one of the most important relatives besides her mother.
This time, Mariana came to Nanjiang City, mainly because of work matters, so Ren didn't go to see her until Sunday, when Mariana was busy with work and was about to go to the cemetery to see her sister, so she called Ren Sui.
"It's a big change here."
As soon as she got out of the car, Mariana began to feel the appearance of the cemetery.
After Ren parked the car, he also got out of the car, holding a bouquet of his mother's favorite sunflowers that he would take with him every time he came to the cemetery.
"How many years ago was the last time I was here? Three years ago? Mariana asked.
"Two years ago, a week after your 44th birthday." Ren then replied, fluent in spoken English.
Hearing this, Mariana immediately retorted in a brisk tone: "It's not a good behavior to casually mention a lady's age, especially your elders. ”
The two of them walked along the narrow paths of the cemetery, the leaves on both sides rustled by the autumn wind, and it was so quiet that people could not take off all their discomfort, and their pace gradually slowed down.
"I thought you didn't care about that anymore." Ren then raised his eyebrows, it was rare that he was not as quiet and cold as usual, but like a college student who was close to his elders.
Mariana chuckled, "I really don't care, but these are two different things. ”
She was dressed in a gray striped suit, with long blond hair coiled behind her head, thick eyebrows and red lips, and a pair of turquoise eyes that were the same as Ren Sui, and the whole person was sassy and neat.
"Well, I'm sorry if I offended you." After speaking, Ren spread his hands together.
He led Mariana around the corner, and after a few more straight steps, stopped in front of the familiar tombstone.
The moment she saw the photo above, Mariana, who was still chatting and joking with her peers, put away all her expressions, looked at her softly, and slowly squatted down.
"Hey Susan, I'm coming to see you." She said, the corners of her mouth rose restrainedly, obviously smiling, but her eyes were full of sadness.
Ren then fell silent, and carefully placed the brightly opened beam of Xiang Sun in his arms in front of the tombstone.
At noon in late autumn, the sun is only half bare, the clouds are thick, and the blue sky is hidden behind.
The wind blew and stopped, the grass was lush, and only the occasional sound of conversation could be heard in the quiet cemetery.
If you listen closely, you can hear the tremor that cannot be concealed in the voice.
Ren then stood behind Mariana, listening to Mariana talk to her mother in English about the past while listening to the sound of the wind blowing.
Rare peace.
I don't know how long it took, but Mariana, who was squatting and her feet were a little numb, barely stood up straight with the help of Ren.
"Okay, the last thing I want to do here has been completed, and I don't have any regrets for the time being." Mariana said.
Ren then asked, "Are you leaving?" So fast? When is the plane? ”
"Tuesday morning." Mariana said, tidying up her clothes, "I came here this time because of work, so I didn't have any time for shopping and entertainment, and I have to go back and report the results to my boss." ”
Mariana now works in the marketing department of a makeup company, where she is considered a deputy minister, and her salary is more than enough even in an international city like New York.
Of course, the work content is also complicated, because the brand needs to expand the market of various countries, and needs to go abroad all the year round.
Speaking of work-related things, Mariana suddenly reacted and asked Ren then: "Oh yes, how is your work?" ”
"It's going well, and if nothing else, we will be able to successfully reach the public by the end of the year."
"Really?" Mariana raised her eyebrows, her expression much brighter, "That's great, it means that your dream is about to come true." ”
She looked at Ren Sui, but keenly noticed the movement of Ren Sui's lowered eyes, obviously deliberately avoiding this topic.
So Fang Cai's still bright expression changed sharply, and he spoke again with a bit of temptation: "You're still thinking about the previous project that couldn't be continued, right?" ”
Ren was silent, which was a tacit acquiescence.
Thinking back on the past, he couldn't help but frown.
Before officially forming the project and team of "Little Forest", he worked with Gong Cen in another game project team under Lingdao Games.
The name of that game is "Bounty Hunter", and it is also a game project proposed by him as the main idea and one of the producers, but it was later stopped by the senior management of Spirit Island Games, so there is no follow-up.
"Alas," Mariana sighed, "I heard your brother say this. ”
Ren then raised his eyes: "He told you?" When? ”
Mariana: "Last Sunday, the day you said you couldn't pick me up at the airport because you were going on a date, he ended up picking me up in his car. ”
"He told me a lot about your recent events, including the real reason why the game you worked so was stopped."
There will be a change later
