213. To her, her mother is a stranger who has nothing to do with her
Lohi froze in place.
Shocked, dazed, disbelieving......
Many, many emotions came over me together, but they calmed down in a short time. She only felt empty in her heart, as if she had something in it, and as if she had nothing.
As soon as she moved, the heart in her chest seemed to be shaking so loudly that she could barely hear her own voice.
"You...... Is it my mom? ”
She looked at Zhang Haiyan in front of her, and her first feeling was that she was old, submissive, with a bitter face, and even a little sloppy that couldn't be said.
To be honest, in the past twenty years, she has not fantasized about what her mother is like. The fat, the thin, the beautiful and the ugly, have all fantasized.
But her imaginary mother can't coincide with the middle-aged woman in front of her no matter what.
Zhang Haiyan nodded affirmatively: "Yes, Luo Xi, I am your mother." Luo Rongtai, he is my ex-husband. If you don't believe him, ask him. ”
Loshi was a little stunned. The other party knows Luo Rongtai and knows that Luo Rongtai is her father, so what he said just now should be true.
Her mother, who had been curious for twenty years, finally stood in front of her, but she didn't feel the slightest excitement, and there was no expression on her face, which could even be described as numbness.
"Luo Rongtai told me that you took the initiative not to want me." She spoke calmly, without accusations or grievances, but simply told a fact.
Zhang Haiyan was a little uncomfortable by her reaction, looked away, and did not look at her.
remembered her ex-husband, and couldn't help but be resentful: "Bullshit! It's Luo Rongtai who has no conscience, he is looking for a concubine outside, and he wants to get his concubine into the house. I didn't want to, so he forced me to divorce and kick me out. Dog, I worked hard outside to earn money, but he took all my money to raise wild women. ”
The more she spoke, the more angry she became, and the more she wanted to say.
Luo Xi looked at the middle-aged woman in front of him who was caught in the memories of the past, and a trace of amusement was inexplicably born in his heart.
Zhang Haiyan's expression was much more vivid when she mentioned Luo Rongtailai than when she mentioned her own daughter.
At least, she can feel that Zhang Haiyan sincerely hates Luo Rongtai, and even after twenty years, she still has hatred and resentment.
"What about me? Luo Rongtai said that when you divorced him, I was not yet two years old. You can't bear to leave me alone? ”
Zhang Haiyan was stunned. She seemed to want to pull Lorshi's hand, only to carefully retract it when it touched Lorch's icy gaze.
"I ...... Of course, I can't bear it. You are the meat that fell from my body, how can I rest assured that I will leave you to Luo Rongtai's dog thing. ”
Zhang Haiyan had a flattering smile on her face.
It's just that this smile, Luo Xi thinks it's a bit fake, fake makes her want to resist,
She avoided Zhang Haiyan's hand that reached out again, and her cuffs brushed the other party's fingertips.
"Whether you can't bear it or not, the final truth is that you left me with Luo Rongtai, and in the past twenty years, you have never thought of contacting me."
Zhang Haiyan tried to set it twice and almost failed, and her voice was a little aggrieved and pitiful: "I know you complain about me, but what can I do?" Although Luo Rongtai is idle and useless, he still has a sister, Luo Huijuan has a factory, and she will not ignore her brother. If you follow Luo Rongtai, you won't suffer. “
"I'm different, my parents' parents are patriarchal, I came out to work when I was very young to earn money, even if I divorced Luo Rongtai, my parents won't let me go back to my parents' house to live, they think I'm ashamed. Are you going to follow me to the streets? ”
Loch was silent. Zhang Haiyan said that these difficulties, she has actually thought about it a long time ago.
She thought that her mother must have encountered a difficult situation and couldn't bear to suffer with her, so she left her to Luo Rongtai.
She thought that her mother must have had a bad time, so she never came back to her. Mom must have been worried about her all the time.
She even thought that if she could find her mother, she could take her to take care of her. She also has the ability to earn money now, although she will not be rich and expensive, but at least, she can give her mother a new age when she will no longer be displaced.
Can ...... now
Luo Xi took a deep breath and couldn't help but speak: "Auntie will send you money every month, and it has not stopped for twenty years. Although Luo Rongtai is ruthless and unrighteous, you will not end up on the streets. ”
Zhang Haiyan blinked, and there was a flash of obvious panic on her face.
After a while, she tugged at the corners of her mouth and explained: "That's because Luo Huijuan thinks that her brother is sorry for me, has a guilty conscience, and uses money to buy peace of mind." ”
The justification in these words made Loshi angry all of a sudden.
"10,000 yuan a month, a total of 20 years, do you want to calculate first, how much is this total? Even if it is alimony after the divorce, this money is enough. If you have this money, even if you don't have to work, you can have no worries about food and clothing. But you've never seen me, not even once. ”
"That's because ......," Zhang Haiyan also wanted to defend.
But Loch didn't want to hear it anymore: "Enough, don't talk about it." ”
She forced herself to calm down and took two steps back, one hand on the doorknob.
At this moment, she could feel that the heart in her chest was cold and hard, like a cold steamed bun that had been spent overnight.
"The former things have passed. How you spent the first 20 years, you can live in the future. You don't have to come to me again, just disappear from my life completely, as before, and that's it. ”
She said these words word by word, in a light tone, so cold that even she would dislike it.
Ms. Zhang didn't show any signs of wanting to fight for it. She even had a little more relaxation between her eyebrows, as if she was relieved.
"That'...... Money ...... per month"
Luo Xi pulled the door open hard, turned around and strode out of Zhang Haiyan's house: "There will be no more." Your aunt may feel guilty about you, so she uses money to make up for you. But I won't, I don't have any guilt for you. ”
Zhang Haiyan couldn't help but complain: "But I'm your mother, you should raise me." ”
Luo Xi had already stepped out of the door, turned around, looked at Zhang Haiyan, and couldn't help but want to laugh a little.
"The premise of my support for you is that you have never abandoned your obligation to support me. But didn't you give up on me twenty years ago? ”
"I can not give up, I can be a mother again."
Zhang Haiyan snorted and said, "Isn't Luo Huijuan dead?" Yes, she's dead, so Roshy, aren't you going to be an orphan? Bah, you and me, in the future, our mother and daughter will depend on each other. ”
Speaking of the back, she felt that this was really a very good suggestion, and her voice was a little higher, "I will compensate you and give you enough maternal love." ”
It's just that I don't know what I'm worried about, so I paused, and added, "But mom is still a little troublesome and can't live with you." In this way, you call me, and when I find a new place to live, I will call you, every day, and I will care about you and give you the warmth of home. ”
Luo Xi looked at her, and his heart was completely free of the initial grievance and anger.
She even thought the woman in front of her was ridiculous. I can't tell why, but I have a kind of blind confidence.
Why do you think that after 20 years of ignoring her, you can be her mother with a few painless phone calls?
"No need." Loshi smiled, raised his feet and continued walking.
"I have never lacked maternal love, my aunt has given me enough love and a very warm home. I had a happy childhood. And you, who have long been outside of my life. ”
Her own mother was a stranger to her.
It's ironic.
Luo Xi no longer paid attention to Zhang Haiyan's retention, and left without stopping.
She didn't know when it was raining outside, she didn't bring an umbrella, but she didn't want to stay here for even a second, so she just braved the rain and walked to the bus stop.
The roads in the suburbs were badly repaired, the roads were full of water, and she stepped on the muddy water every step she took, and it was extremely difficult for her to walk.
It's hard to wait for the bus here, it's not so much a bus as a shuttle, and it's only two or three times a day, and if you miss the previous one, it's possible to wait for an hour or two.
It's late autumn, and when it rains, the temperature is so low. Loshi was standing in the bus stop, and the shelter from the billboard above his head couldn't stop the rain at all.
Her clothes were already soaked by the rain, and the temperature of her body had dropped. But what is lower than the temperature is her mood at the moment.
She began to feel that this trip to Cloud City might have come to the wrong place.
If she hadn't come, she wouldn't have seen Zhang Haiyan, then her mother was still just living in her fantasy, with many hardships, but she always loved her kind woman.
She didn't know how long she had been waiting at the bus stop, but she felt cold all over her body, and her body began to tremble uncontrollably, and the bus she was waiting for was still nowhere to be seen.
She was not in a hurry and continued to wait patiently.
After a while, a black sedan pulled up next to the bus stop, and the driver honked his horn a few times, as if waiting for someone.
Loshi didn't take it to heart.
But the horn kept ringing, and she still looked up.
The window of the car was lowered, and Lu Weinan sat in the car, looking at her with cold eyes, and her tone was very light: "Get in the car." ”
Luo Xi looked around and pointed to himself uncertainly: "Lu Dong, are you talking to me?" ”
"Or else?"
Lu Weinan sneered, a little impatient, "Get in the car." ”
Loshi walked over and opened the car door. When I lifted my feet, I was a little embarrassed to see my soaked shoes and my trousers that were still dripping.
"Lu Dong, forget it. The bus will come right away. ”
Lu Weinan didn't look at her: "The same thing, I don't want to say it a third time." ”
Luo Xi thought to himself, in this case, she should not be blamed for soiling the car.
She got into the car and sat stiffly in the seat, a little uncomfortable.
But Lu Weinan opened his mouth first: "What are you doing in Cloud City?" Lu Ran asked you to come here on a business trip? ”
Luo Xi shook his head: "A little personal matter, it has nothing to do with work." “
"Are you done?"
"Well, that's it."
Lu Weinan didn't speak again.
Luo Xi thought about it for a while, and asked boldly: "Lu Dong came to Cloud City because of private matters?" ”
Lu Weinan looked at her in surprise: "How do you know?" ”
Luo Xi smiled: "There is no airport here, not even high-speed rail, whether it is from Jiangcheng or the imperial capital, you can only take a green car for more than ten hours." If Lu Dong hadn't had a personal affair like me, he wouldn't have come to this kind of town at all. ”
Lu Weinan didn't seem to be in a high mood, and his expression was not as sharp as ever. She looked out the window at the rapid passing of the scene, as if lost in thought.
He didn't speak again all the way.
I drove all the way to the train station.
When Luo Xi arrived here, she learned that Lu Weinan was also going to leave Cloud City by train today, but she didn't go to Jiangcheng, but went directly to the imperial capital.
When parting, she finally smiled and said to Luo Xi, "I heard that you put your clothes in Fu's mall. It's kind of a bit of a skill. I'm starting to look forward to the results of the competition between you and Su He. ”
Luo Xi pretended not to hear the sarcasm in her words, and replied with a smile that was neither humble nor arrogant: "I will not live up to Lu Dong's expectations." ”
The green car drove slowly, and when it returned to Jiangcheng, it was already close to midnight.
Loshi opened the door and walked inside with a vague step. As soon as I entered the door, I couldn't stop feeling dizzy.
The whole person lost support and fell into the arms of familiarity.
