Chapter Twenty-Three: The Fourth Day
Xie Chengen watched Jiang Yueyuan's slender back gradually disappear from his sight, and just turned around to leave, he heard a sound of footsteps going downstairs.
In the next second, a voice came from the shadows: "Cheng'en, right? ”
Xie Chengen subconsciously turned around, and saw a middle-aged woman wearing a flower shirt walking out, who was Jiang Yueyuan's mother Shang Mei.
Xie Chengen was stunned, but quickly reacted and called softly: "Aunt Jiang." ”
Silence ensued.
Xie Chengen actually knew that at the beginning, Jiang Yueyuan's family didn't like him very much, so he was always very nervous when he got along with her family.
Although they got to know each other later, Xie Chengen was always a little nervous when facing Uncle Jiang and Aunt Jiang.
Even after all this time, that hasn't changed.
Shang Mei walked up to Xie Chengen, looking at the young man who was still a little immature before, and now he has grown into an outstanding young man, and he no longer sees the former youth between his eyebrows and eyes, and the whole person looks a little more mature, and perhaps because of too many reasons over the years, the whole person has a reassuring calm temperament.
Coupled with his handsome eyebrows and eyes, the whole person looks very energetic, which is exactly the type that parents like.
Even if Shang Mei doesn't touch her conscience, she can't say that her daughter is better than the child in front of her.
Originally, Shang Mei thought that she could be ruthless to warn the other party not to get close to her daughter again, but after a pair of faces, Shang Mei only felt that what she was going to say next was stuck in her throat for a moment.
However, she naturally couldn't show her timidity, cleared her throat, and said, "I haven't seen you for so long, and you have grown up, I don't know if you have time to talk to your aunt now." ”
Xie Chengen pursed his lips, "Okay, Auntie." ”
Then the two walked to the infrastructure of the community to exercise, and the two of them sat on a bench on the side.
Because it was autumn, the weather was already a little cold at night, and Shang Mei also intimately asked Xie Chengen if she was thinly dressed, would it be cold, and if she needed to go back and get a dress to wear.
Xie Chengen was a little flattered, but he still refused, but he didn't expect Aunt Jiang to be so kind to him.
After being quiet for a long time, Xie Chengen took the initiative to speak: "Auntie, if you have anything to say, just say it directly." ”
When Shang Mei heard this, she was not ambiguous, and said directly: "Since you said that, then Auntie will not hide it, I saw you send Yuanyuan home last time, are you two on good relationship now?"
"The two of us...... Now it's a colleague, and the relationship is definitely close. ”
Shang Mei showed a contemplative expression, but quickly reacted and said: "In this case, Auntie said directly, I hope you can stay away from Yuanyuan, although I don't know what happened four years ago, but it is a fact that you left us Yuanyuan to study abroad alone, and it is true that our family Yuanyuan was sad for half a year, and you also know that at the beginning, I didn't agree with you falling in love with Yuanyuan, and what happened later also confirmed my statement." ”
"Although you have returned to China now, no one can guarantee that you will not have such a thing happen in the future, I am Yuanyuan's mother, I don't want to see her hurt, so I hope you can still keep a little distance and don't worry about me as a mother. ”
Hearing Shang Mei's words, Xie Chengen felt a little bitter in his heart, he wanted to say something, but found that any justification might be in vain in the eyes of Aunt Jiang.
After all, the hurt of the past is real, and what happened will not go away with the passage of time.
"Aunt Jiang, I'm ......"
"Auntie knows that you may have had the idea of reconciliation now, but after all, you are still young now, and you have experienced too few things, and when you polish in society for a while and meet more people, you will find that it is not actually the other party, if you have experienced a lot of things, or decide to be together, then Auntie will never stop it, of course, that was before. ”
"But now, Auntie still hopes that you can keep a distance from Yuanyuan, and the two of you will be ordinary colleagues, and there will be no more connections. ”
"Just ask for you as an aunt, is that okay?"
While Shang Mei was chattering about her position and reasons, Xie Chengen had slowly lowered his head.
He didn't reply to Shang Mei's words for a long time, and he didn't know how long it took before he heard him speak with difficulty and firmness: "Auntie, Yuanyuan is your daughter, and it is natural for you to worry about her, but if I give up on her now, I'm sorry Auntie, I may not be able to do it." ”
After saying this, Xie Chengen suddenly raised his head.
The original warm eyes have now become like the eyes of a wolf cub, exuding a leisurely light, with an imperative look and determination in their eyes.
The temperament of the whole person is in stark contrast to the silence just now, as if in just one second, the whole person has been reborn.
Shang Mei was also taken aback by the other party's sudden change, but after all, she had lived for so many years and was well-informed, so she quickly reacted.
"I know you don't want to listen to you yet, but we're all here for your good. And with what happened four years ago, how could I trust Yuanyuan to you?"
"Whether you listen to it or not, I have persuaded you what should be advised, if you don't agree, it doesn't matter, I will do ideological work here, you can do it yourself. Watch out on the way home, I'll go back first. With that, Shang Mei turned around and prepared to leave.
Just took two steps, I heard Xie Chengen behind me calmly say to her: "Auntie, I know, no matter what I say now, it will be pale, but I hope you can give me time, and I will prove that I am the most suitable for Yuanyuan now." Auntie, please rest assured to hand over the full moon to me, I will not let you down. ”
Shang Mei didn't speak, but just looked at Xie Chengen for a long time, "When you do it all, tell me." Then he turned around and left.
In an instant, Xie Chengen was the only one left on the huge infrastructure field.
Xie Chengen looked at the back that gradually disappeared in front of his eyes, and couldn't help clenching his fists, and his lips were tightly pursed.
The whole person is hidden in the dark, as if the whole person is integrated with the dark environment, but a pair of eyes are surprisingly bright, looking ahead.
"I won't let you down, I swear. ”
