I listened quietly to him as he told the story, not commenting, just asking him what had happened when appropriate.

"Then you fell in love with my mom, didn't you?"

He didn't answer right away, but thought for a moment.

"Actually, it's not that I fell in love with her, it's that she gradually became dependent on me." As he spoke, his eyes flashed with sorrow again. "I said at the beginning, I am a family person, and she just regarded me as an elder, a father and something that we could rely on in our slow contact. At first, she only liked to be with me, consciously or unconsciously, but then she came to me when she had anything to do. I felt it, too, so I immediately decided to put the distance between us. I first told her that I was leaving at the end of my vacation, but she didn't say anything and walked away silently. ”

When he speaks, he thinks he's telling a story, as if he's not talking about himself at all, but about telling a story that no one knows. His eyes were sad and his tone was flat.

"Later, she stopped coming to me to make up for the lessons, and I was about to leave after the holidays. The night before leaving, your mother came to my room and said that she wanted to go with me, and her attitude was resolute, but I had no choice but to persuade her to no avail, so I had to send her back to your grandmother's room. Your grandmother only knew your mother's thoughts about me at this time, she was so angry that she was about to drive me away, and your mother was naturally beaten and scolded by your grandmother, and she was locked in the room and not allowed to come out. I also knew it was my fault, so I packed up my things and left overnight. ”

"My mom came to look for you, didn't she?" I heard from my uncle that my mother left a message one day and went to find him.

"yes, I didn't expect her to be so persistent that she came to me alone, and I don't even remember when I left her the address. When she stood in front of me, I really understood what a person decides and how strong her willpower will be. ”

"She's coming for you, so what should you do, what about your wife, does she know?" Yes, he has a wife, and my mom was just an accident.

"I was at odds with my wife at the time, and we were talking about divorce at that time. But because I have a daughter, I can't bear to make my child sad, so I can only drag it. When I saw your mom coming to me, I thought that suddenly I had someone to talk to and relieve my boredom. I settled her to live in my apartment, I went to see her first after work every day, I took her to see things she hadn't seen, and I accompanied her to eat, go shopping, and watch movies. At that time, I seemed to go back to my youth all of a sudden, and I seemed to have forgotten all the awkward married life for so many years, and some of them were just happy. We didn't know what a relationship was at that time, it was like comforting each other and listening to each other, and I told her about my unhappiness, and she told me about her depression. After a long time, there are feelings, what shouldn't happen happens, and what shouldn't start begins. ”

When he said this, he seemed to miss and care, and he thought that he was remorse and guilt.

I think he must be regretting that if he hadn't done that at the time, didn't go shopping, eating, chatting, watching movies with my mother, didn't talk about life and ideals with her, didn't let her fall in love with him, then there wouldn't be so many regrets and regrets now.

He must have felt guilty and regretted.

"However, there will always be a time when the truth will be revealed, and finally, my wife will find out."

I'm not surprised at all, paper can't contain fire after all.

"My wife is a very reserved and calm person, she is very well cultivated, and she quietly went to my apartment and met your mother. It was the second month that your mother came to see me, and I have rarely come home, and even when I do, I leave very quickly. I don't know what my wife told her, she had already prepared a meal waiting for me when I went back in the evening, nothing happened, it was the same as before. Later, she said that my wife had gone to see her, and she said that my wife was very nice and kind, and asked her if she wanted to help, and asked her if she was in trouble. ”

I'm very strange, the original wife should be going to fight when she sees her husband's lover, how can she shush and ask for warmth.

"My wife is a rich lady and has a good upbringing, but I didn't expect her to be so calm and neither mess with me nor quarrel with me, just went to find your mother, and then I went home and asked her, she didn't blame or cry, just asked me to promise a condition not to divorce her. At that time, the business of both of us was very large, and the divorce was not good for us, so I agreed, anyway, we were only in love on the surface, but in fact, it was a fictitious couple for a long time. But what I didn't expect was that your mother left without a word, without a word, without warning, and just disappeared. ”

Yes, my mother is so smart, she must have considered that he is a family person, he has children, he has things to worry about, in order not to affect him, for his future, she can only give up, can only leave.

"The thing I regret the most in my life is that I didn't expect your mother to leave, in fact, I should have been aware, but I didn't, she was ready to leave me that morning, and when she sent me out in the morning, she said that she wanted me to be happy forever, and I thought she was going to be with me, but I didn't expect her to say goodbye to me. I went out in the morning and returned to my place in the evening, everything was as clean as ever, but there was no trace of your mother anymore. There was no message, no goodbye, no word, she just disappeared like that. ”

My mother may have hesitated, she may have wanted to go down with this man, but he has responsibilities, he has responsibilities, he has children, he has a complete home, if she continues to go down with him, another woman will lose her husband, and another child will lose their father. So, my mom she decided to leave on her own, she didn't take anyone with her, she just left on her own.

"I went to see your mother later, but your grandmother didn't see me at all, and I later learned that your mother didn't go back after she left me, and no one knew where she went. Maybe she really didn't want anyone to find her, so she ran away. Later, my wife asked me to have another child with her, because there were too few children in the family, and the elders urged me, and there was no way, I only cheated on each other with my wife for the sake of that family and that business marriage. ”

I've always felt that these business marriages, the business world's wealthy families who do everything for the sake of profit, are only in TV plots, I didn't think that around me, around me, these things have already happened.

It turns out that two people who don't love each other can really be tied together for a purpose, and two real people who feel flesh and blood can really become victims for profit.

"The child I conceived later was Xu Wei, my wife was 35 years old when she was pregnant with Xu Wei, everyone was looking forward to the birth of this child, expecting that he should be a boy and should be our successor, and everyone's thoughts are on my wife. Even my eldest daughter was expecting her mother to have a younger brother soon. I was ordered by everyone to take good care of my wife, just because they all wanted a boy and a successor. I was not allowed to leave the house for a single step, and I devoted myself to taking care of the pregnant woman, and I watched my wife's belly grow little by little, and carved the baby into my heart little by little. ”

I have always felt that Xu Wei is very favored by her father, and his love for Xu Wei is almost unmatched, it seems that the relationship should be established like that. Little by little, she grew up in her mother's womb, little by little she established a relationship with her, and transferred all her love for another woman to this unborn child.

Xu Wei is another kind of sustenance for my mother, a kind of missing, and a kind of dependence on this man.

"When Xu Wei was born, the whole family went to the hospital, the best ward, the best doctor, the best care, even the baby products were the best, they really longed for this child. Xu Wei didn't let her mother suffer anything, she was born half an hour after entering the delivery room, she was very beautiful when she was born, and she cried louder than any child. Those who were expecting her were naturally disappointed, and having a girl meant that there was no successor in the family and no one to deliver, those people were actually very pitiful, thinking that they could sit back and relax and have no worries, but they didn't expect the result to be unexpected. ”

The idea that men are superior to women has not been overturned for thousands of years. It is better for a family to have a man to inherit, because if a girl inherits, the things that have worked hard all his life will fall into someone else's house.

Xu Wei, as well as her sister, are actually living victims of this antique concept under this concept.

"Xu Wei was very naughty when she was a child, like a boy, she was ten times more headache than her sister. Beating people in kindergarten, bullying classmates in elementary school to the point that they dare not go to school, and gangs running rampant on campus in middle school, she grew up all the way and didn't know how much trouble she caused us. At that time, we went to school the most, teachers criticized, students complained, and we were the subordinates who followed her ass to accompany her. No one can do anything about her, her sister had already studied abroad at that time, and she was very obedient to her sister, but because the two of them had little time to meet, no one could control her. ”

The first time I heard Xu Wei, I never knew that she was still living so radiantly when she was young. Looking at Xu Wei now, I only know that she has a bold personality, but I don't know that she is actually an evil little devil.

"Then now Xu Wei is not the same as before, what's wrong, what happened later?"

"The current Xu Wei is also dignified and well-behaved, she is actually very pitiful. Falling from the clouds to the ground all of a sudden, those who had expectations for her went from accepting her as a girl, to turning her into a problem spirit, and then completely disappointed in her step by step. His sister was raised to be a lady, dignified, introverted, temperamental, learning management, and learning to do business. In fact, we are all victims of this plan, this business chain, her sister has no life of her own, she has never really been in love, and she doesn't have what a girl should have. She has to have three teachers to teach management courses every day, and she has to dress up dignified and steady every day to say hello to her grandparents and grandparents, she is the most tired one. ”

Maybe this is the life we have not experienced and never known, we may not think that while we envy the rich, they are also the sacrifice we have never thought of in exchange for that bit of glamour, that kind of life, that kind of honor, far less than the one who belongs to loses.

What the poor envy is only the glamour of the rich, because they don't know the effort behind it, and they don't know that in fact, that kind of life may not be what the rich themselves want.
