3 Chapter III
On the first floor, the Chen family had finished eating and sat happily in the living room.
Chen Mingyu hugged Xie Yunqiu with one hand and Xie Yunqiu's daughter Xie Baobao with the other.
The three of them watched cartoons on TV and chatted with laughter.
Xie Baobao pointed to the pink pig on the TV, and said in a milky voice: "Dad, Dad, I like Paige the most!" β
Chen Mingyu nodded again and again: "Dad, I'm going to buy it for you!" β
Mother Chen and Chen Shuang sat on the other side, surrounding Xie Yunqiu's son, and you and I were gossiping one by one.
Especially Chen's mother.
She looked at Xie Yunqiu's son's eyes full of kindness, as if she was looking at her most beloved big baby, and she couldn't close her mouth with a smile: "If you want me to say, Xiao Xie is still powerful, you see how strong and clever Xiao Xie Sheng's big fat son looks!" Compared to Shen Xingran, I don't know how many times more likable it is! β
Now that Shen Xingran is gone, Chen's mother makes no secret of her dislike and dislike for her.
Chen Shuang pursed her lips and echoed with disdain: "Shen Lingyi is a housewife with little knowledge, and no matter how good the child is, she will raise it." My brother was right to decide to divorce this time, a good woman like Sister Yunqiu should really cherish it. β
Mother Chen nodded in agreement, with a thoughtful face.
"Shen Lingyi has to leave today. But after all, the stars are the species of our Chen family, and they must stay. Xiao Xie is a good woman, and she won't embarrass the stars. β
With the current strength of the Chen family, raising one more Shen Xingran is nothing.
But......
"But Xingxing can't follow Shen Lingyi's surname anymore, I'll talk to Mingyu, and I'll take her to change her name in a few days and change her surname back to Chen!"
When Shen Xingran was just born, Chen Mingyu and Shen Lingyi were so good that they were mixing oil.
Shen Lingyi originally worked in Chenguang, a leading enterprise in Fengcheng, in order to marry Chen Mingyu, she gave up her good career prospects, followed Chen Mingyu back to Rongcheng, and accompanied Chen Mingyu to start a business while she was pregnant.
When Shen Xingran was born, Chen Mingyu's company happened to get a large order and was about to get on the right track.
Chen Mingyu smiled proudly, and in order to commemorate Shen Lingyi's so many sacrifices for him, he simply waved his hand and asked Shen Xingran to follow Shen Lingyi's surname Shen.
This decision naturally made Shen Lingyi even more desperate for him.
In addition, in order to take care of Shen Xingran, Shen Lingyi quit the Chen family's company, returned to the family, and became a full-time housewife who was devoted to her husband and daughter.
Mother Chen didn't say anything at that time, in fact, she had already buried her dislike for Shen Xingran in her heart.
It's a girl, and her surname is Shen, no matter how you look at it, you can't count it as their Chen family's species!
You have to change your surname, you have to change it as soon as possible!
Chen Shuang obviously agreed with her mother's words.
She nodded, looked left and right, and found that Shen Lingyi and Shen Xingran's mother and daughter didn't seem to have come down.
She frowned slightly: "Didn't you say go upstairs to change your clothes?" How did it take so long? I'll go up and see, nothing will happen. β
Shen Lingyi looked like her heart was dead just now, and she didn't feel right.
It can't be that you're being stimulated to go upstairs and do something stupid, right?
Mother Chen looked at the wall clock on the wall and nodded: "Okay, you go and have a look." β
It doesn't matter if Shen Lingyi has an accident, Shen Xingran is still a child of the Chen family after all, so it's best not to have an accident.
Chen Shuang nodded, stood up, and walked quickly upstairs.
She came to the door of Shen Lingyi's room familiarly and knocked on the door: "Stars? Are you in there with your mom? β
There was silence in the room.
Chen Shuang tried to twist the doorknob and found that it couldn't be opened.
She frowned and said in a louder voice: "Stars? Shen Lingyi? Did you hear that? β
Something can't really happen, right?
Just when Chen Shuang was thinking nonsense, there was a "click" and the door opened.
Shen Lingyi's face appeared behind the door and looked at her quietly.
Thinking of the dispute downstairs just now, Chen Shuang put down her hand a little unnaturally and coughed lightly: "That...... You okay? β
Shen Lingyi shook his head: "It's okay, I haven't found the right clothes yet, it will take some time." It should still be neededβ"
She looked up at the watch on her wrist, "It's going to take at least half an hour." β
After finishing speaking, she lowered her hand and calmly bowed to Chen Shuang: "Please go downstairs and wait for a while." β
Chen Shuang was a little dumbfounded.
She felt that something was wrong.
But Shen Lingyi's performance doesn't seem to be a problem.
After being silent for a few seconds, Chen Shuang had to nod and said dryly, "Okay, then I'll go down first." β
Shen Lingyi smiled at her, did not continue to greet her, and closed the door gently.
When she turned around and went down the stairs, Chen Shuang realized where the feeling that something was wrong just now came from-
Shen Lingyi looks so calm!
Obviously, when she first entered the gate of Chen's house today, she saw a woman with tears on her face and a hysterical expression.
But Shen Lingyi just now......
Even smiled at her before closing the door?
Her footsteps coming downstairs stopped abruptly, and she shook her head in some disbelief.
"You can't be stupid, right?"
-
After calmly closing the door, Shen Lingyi turned around, clasped his hands in front of his chest, and looked at Shen Xingran in the middle of the room.
Shen Xingran sat obediently on the small bench, holding his favorite rabbit doll in his hand, and looked at Shen Lingyi with an innocent face.
Her big eyes sparkled: "Mom, what's wrong?" β
She is just a child after all, and she will have forgotten the thrill of almost "jumping off the building" just now.
This will make Shen Xingran have only one thought in his mind - his mother has changed.
It seemed like a momentary thing, and my mother suddenly changed.
Shen Xingran felt that this was not a bad thing.
At least now this mother is not as terrible as she was just now, she will no longer pull her hand and want to jump with her.
And......
I don't know why, Shen Xingran feels that her mother seems to have become a lot better.
It's strange, obviously my appearance hasn't changed, why do I feel this way?
Many strange thoughts floated through Shen Xingran's little head.
She couldn't help but stare at Shen Lingyi more seriously, trying to figure out where this idea came from.
Shen Lingyi has seen all kinds of winds and waves, but she has never been stared at like this by a little girl.
And this little girl is still her own daughter......
The round little face, the big black and bright eyes, are exactly the same as when I was a child, and I can confirm at a glance that it is definitely my mother and daughter who have no way to run.
Thinking of this, Shen Lingyi shook his head with some tears and laughter.
Painless motherhood...... Who will believe it?
Soon after graduating from college, in order to prove his ability to his father, Shen Lingyi hid his true identity and entered Chenguang under the name of the Shen family.
Her last memory was of a business banquet.
Last second, she was still at the banquet, wearing a delicate suit, greeting her partner.
The next second, she suddenly came here, still holding a five-year-old child in her hand.
And between these two seconds, there are actually a full seven years!
It was as if someone else had "taken over" her body and lived for her for seven years.
Andβ
Shen Lingyi looked at the mirror, looking even more helpless.
The woman in the mirror was sloppy, her face was sallow, her eyes were blank, and her apron was still a little oily.
If it weren't for the familiar little mole in the corner of her eye, Shen Lingyi almost couldn't believe that this woman would be herself.
Obviously, in the past seven years, the person who took over her body has not taken good care of this body.
There are a lot of calluses on my fingers from housework, a circle of fat on my stomach that can't be erased, and most importantly-
She looked at the well-behaved little girl in the middle of the room with some headache.
Calluses can be eliminated, fat can be reduced, this is such a big child, can't be stuffed back, right?
"Mom?"
Seeing that Shen Lingyi was still sighing when he looked left and right, Shen Xingran had no bottom in his heart, and couldn't help but whisper again.
What's going on, I feel like my mother looks a little disgusted......
This "mother" made Shen Lingyi let out a long sigh again.
She blinked, squeezed out a smile hard, walked to Shen Xingran's side, and touched Shen Xingran's head a little unskillfully.
"That...... Good daughter, tell your mother, what happened just now? Why am I pulling you to the window? β
It is imperative to get to the bottom of the situation as soon as possible.
If she guessed correctly, the moment she returned to consciousness, the receiver of this body was planning to jump from the window, right?
And he dragged his daughter and jumped down together.
At first glance, I was stimulated by something.
It's easy to show your stuff when you ask others, and Shen Lingyi can only ask the cheap daughter in front of her.
As soon as I heard the word "window", those terrible memories just now were quickly awakened.
Shen Xingran shrank back in fright, and there was a crying tone in his tone: "Mom, don't you jump down, okay?" Even if Daddy wants to leave, I'll always follow you! I was really scared of that......"
Shen Lingyi frowned slightly: "Dad is leaving?" - Wait, little girl - ahem, good daughter, do you remember your father's name? β
Shen Xingran didn't know why, so he replied obediently: "Dad's name is Chen Mingyu." β
She was silent for two seconds, lowered her gaze a little gloomily, and asked a few more questions, "The aunt that Dad brought today is called Xie Yunqiu, and the aunt's daughter is called Xie Baobao." Mom, is Xie Baobao also Dad's daughter? Why can a father have a baby with another woman? β
Shen Lingyi raised his eyebrows: "? β
Good guys, this plot direction is too outrageous, right?
So she is not only a housewife with an out-of-shape figure, not to mention being a mother without pain, but also a cheating husband?
The cheap husband even knocked on the door with the mistress and the mistress's daughter?
Chen Mingyu β
The name she was a little impressed.
At the moment before she lost consciousness, she happened to meet a man named Chen Mingyu at a business banquet. At that time, Chen Mingyu was just a fledgling newcomer, and because of his overly good-looking face, he received the secret attention of many female colleagues.
However, Shen Lingyi is not included in these female colleagues.
Contrary to the natural affection of other girls, she actually doesn't like him very much.
Growing up in a complex family environment since childhood, Shen Lingyi has developed a pair of discerning eyes. She could see Chen Mingyu's handsome and bright appearance that he had hidden a deep utilitarian heart.
I really didn't expect her "receiver" to start a family with such a man.
Shen Lingyi held back her temperament, calmly analyzing Shen Xingran's words, and at the same time asking the questions she wanted to ask in a way that Shen Xingran could understand.
As she knew more and more things, the chaotic memories in her mind gradually became clearer.
At this moment, Shen Lingyi was like a bystander, quietly examining the memories of the past seven years in his mind across the river bank of time.
She was very efficient, and after twenty minutes, she had pretty much understood all the ins and outs of the past seven years.
Including the situation she and Shen Xingran are facing now.
Looking at the little girl with tears in her eyes, Shen Lingyi reached out again and touched her head.
"Don't worry, I won't do anything stupid again."
The top priority is to reassure the child as soon as possible and not leave any psychological shadows.
As for the scumbag Xiaosan's family downstairs, Shen Lingyi already has an idea.
After receiving his mother's promise, Shen Xingran felt that his heart could finally be put down peacefully.
She squinted, feeling that her mother's hand touching her hair was so soft and gentle.
It's not the same as before.
Shen Xingran couldn't help but grab his mother's hand, leaned over happily, and said loudly: "Mom is so good!" β
Mom knew that she was scared, and was willing to comfort her, and no longer scolded her impatiently like before!
Mom is so nice!
Caught off guard by a small soft body, Shen Lingyi stiffened for a moment.
Only...... It was the first time she had been held like this by a little girl.
is still a miniature version of her.
It feels really amazing.
Shen Lingyi's expression softened.
She pinched Shen Xingran's face: "Good daughter, you wait for me here, I can't bear to wear this garbage, I have to change my clothes." β
In addition to clothes, there are other things to prepare.
With all these ready, she can take Shen Xingran downstairs and win the next "tough battle".
Shen Xingran blinked in confusion.
Mom is wearing the apron that she usually likes to wear the most, why is it said to be garbage?
But she was a good child, and when her mother said she wanted to change her clothes, she immediately withdrew her hand, continued to hold her favorite rabbit doll, and sat obediently on the small bench to watch her mother's every move.
She saw her mother walk to the closet, open the door, and be silent for two seconds, letting out a loud complaint.
"As for buying so many aprons? Still hanging in separate colors?! β
Well, my mother doesn't seem to like aprons anymore.
In fact, she also thought that the apron was not good-looking, but she didn't dare to say it before, because she would definitely be scolded by her mother if she said it.
Shen Xingran rubbed the rabbit doll's head, watched his mother frown and pick and choose in the wardrobe for a long time, and finally found a simple red dress from the corner.
She remembered the dressβit was given to her aunt by a friend of her aunt's, who hated it and gave it to her mother.
Mom took it, but she didn't wear it once.
Dad once saw it by chance and asked why he didn't wear it.
There was a strange pride in my mother's expression at the time: "This skirt is too slim, with a low neckline and a short skirt, and the color is so red, which is not the style that a woman like me should wear." β
Shen Xingran didn't know what a "good family woman" was, but after seeing her mother change into this red dress, her eyes widened in amazement, and she let out a "wow" exclamation from her small mouth.
It's the first time she's seen such a good-looking mom!
It's as good as a Barbie doll in a toy store!
It turns out that my mother's legs are so straight and long, and my mother's arms are so thin and white!
No wonder mom would say aprons are rubbish.
Shen Xingran nodded in agreement.
Compared to this red dress, the apron is indeed rubbish!
Shen Lingyi smiled at Shen Xingran, who was cheering, pulled up his hair and coiled it at the back of his head.
She looked at herself in the mirror.
The clothes and hairstyle are barely passable now, and the accessories are ignored first, as for the sallow complexion - the time is urgent, Shen Lingyi simply washed his face, wiped the foundation that can brighten his complexion, and then applied a lipstick with a thin layer of gray on the shell.
The conditions are difficult, and for the time being, this is the only way.
Now there is still a shortage of a suitable pair of shoes.
Shen Xingran watched his mother rummaging in the shoe cabinet for a long time, gritting his teeth and muttering to himself: "Don't you have a pair that you can wear?!" You're a mom and you're not lame, why don't you even have a pair of high heels! Not a single pair! β
Shen Xingran knew thisβshe had seen other classmates' mothers wearing high heels. But my mom doesn't seem to have worn high heels.
Even when she saw other mothers wearing high heels, her mother would pout her lips disdainfully, roll her eyes upward, and complain in a low voice: "I'm a mother, who will I show when I dress up?" Frivolous. β
She thought about it, and suddenly she had a flash of inspiration, and she ran over, pointed to a pile of boxes in the corner of the shoe cabinet, and said loudly, "Mom, there is a pair of high heels in this white box!" β
The reason why she remembers it so clearly is because she once accidentally turned over these high heels and wore them curiously.
As a result, she was hit by her mother, scolded her on the spot, and punished her to stand in the corner for half an hour.
She remembered that it was a very beautiful, beautiful pair of red high heels.
It goes well with my mother's current red dress!
Shen Lingyi searched in the pile of boxes, and sure enough, he found a pair of almost brand new red high heels from a white box.
She looked surprised: "This is still J's shoes?" The style is pretty good. Yo, I thought your mom - ahem, I thought I didn't have a pair of high heels......"
Shen Xingran tried hard to recall what his mother said when he was punished for standing, and replied seriously: "Mom, this is your faint shoe, so you have been keeping it carefully - by the way, what kind of shoes are the faint shoes?" β
Is it because you wear too many shoes that will make you faint?
It's scary! No wonder when her mother saw her wearing it, she was so angry that she was punished!
Shen Lingyi's hand paused, and his face was indescribable: "......"
For a long time, this was actually a pair of wedding shoes, which was probably worn by her replacement and Chen Mingyu when they got married.
It's no wonder that thrifty substitutes would be willing to spend so much money on a nice pair of luxury heels, but never wear them.
It turned out to be for commemorative significance.
Shen Lingyi shook his head, calmly put on red high heels, and complained: "What's so fun about jumping out of the window?" If it were me just now, I would have to find these shoes and smash the heel on the scumbag's head! β
That's what makes it memorable!
Shen Xingran suddenly realized: "Oh! No wonder it's called a faint shoe, because it can be used to smash someone's head? β
If you hit your head, you'll get dazed!
Wait, what does a scumbag mean, is it a man who is so dirty that he drops scum?
Shen Xingran's face was full of serious thoughts.
The scumbag in my mother's mouth won't be ...... Dad, right?
Is Dad so dirty? Will it also drop slag!?
No wonder mom wants to hit him on the head with a faint shoe!
If you knock your father unconscious, won't your father say that he wants a divorce and won't drive his mother away?
Shen Xingran came back to his senses and found that Shen Lingyi had been completely dressed.
The rejuvenated mother in front of her made Shen Xingran couldn't help but exclaim again that she had never seen the world.
The current mother is completely different from the haggard and crazy woman in the mirror just now.
She wore a red dress with a delicate cut that framed her figure, and a pair of red high heels that matched the skirt at her feet.
Red is such a warm and bright color, and it is surprisingly suitable for Shen Lingyi today.
Shen Xingran felt that her current mother was wearing red and looked better than all the aunts she had seen!
It's better than the celebrity aunts in the tablet!
Shen Xingran felt that her mother's posture had also changed a lot.
Mom's figure stood straight, her eyes were bright, her eyebrows were slightly raised, and there was a faint smile on the corners of her lips.
Such a mother reminds Shen Xingran of the confident queen in the animation.
Right!
It's what it feels like to be a queen!
Shen Xingran immediately turned on the rainbow fart mode: "Mom! You're like the queen of cartoons! β
"Queen?"
Shen Lingyi's eyes crooked and he smiled, as if he liked this statement.
She sighed a little, "Everyone used to say that I was the eldest princess of the Shen family, but no one ever said that I was the queen. But you're right, I'm also a person with a baby now, so it's not appropriate to call me a princess. β
She has a bright smile and an indomitable spirit.
After tidying up her clothes, Shen Lingyi took Shen Xingran's hand and said in a more serious tone, "Next is the first battle after your queen mother re-emerges from the mountain-little girl, you have to watch carefully and learn more." β
Shen Xingran looked at the door blankly.
Today's mothers always come up with some strange words, new and interesting.
What "Queen Mom", "Little Girl"......
And "fighting".
Hey, why the fight?
Is Mom really going to take these faint shoes and knock Dad, a scumbag man, unconscious?
β¦β¦ What's going on, I actually feel a little looking forward to it!
