After her asking, Wei Hao seemed a little embarrassed. He picked up the cup again, took a sip gently, and said, “at that time, it was the trough of my career, and there was a contradiction between me and my father. Not long after my mother died, it should be less than half a year, or a year, so he married a woman back. At that time, I really hated him and felt that he didn’t love mother at all… So…”
“So you want to find an object to vent. Unfortunately, I became the object of your vent.” She frowned disapprovingly and said that her impression of him at that time was that he was a ruthless, cruel and rude man. She had no choice but to continue to perform the contract for money.
“Sorry!” He apologized for the mistakes he had made to her in the past.
“You don’t have to say sorry to me, because at that time, I was in an agreement with you. You wanted to find someone to vent, and I needed money…” she said, looking back , it was really incredible. How could she be with him! Sometimes there are things that you can’t predict, because you don’t know what will happen next.
“Now when I think about it, I feel stupid. Why did I do such a thing to you?” Wei Hao felt incredible and said with a laugh.
“Me too.” She smiled and said, “you know, at that time, I thought you were like a devil, but for money, continue to tolerate, because you said a word to me, to be worthy of the money you gave.”
“Really, did I say such a thing?” He opened his eyes wide and asked her blankly. He didn’t seem to remember saying such words to her before, because after seven years, no one remembered, let alone him!
“Forget it if you don’t remember.” He doesn’t remember, but she will always remember.
“In that case, I’m here to say sorry to you.” He didn’t remember, but he felt sorry for treating her like that in the past.
“Today, why do I suddenly talk to you about the past, but you also chat with me. I feel that time passes so quickly, and each of us has changed a lot…” she smiled at Wei Hao and said with a smile, thinking that they were quite strange today, and actually started the topic to talk about the past.
“Actually, there’s nothing wrong with it. Let’s talk!” Wei Hao smiled and said that if she didn’t say, he really didn’t know he had been so bad before.
Yang Shuting didn’t continue talking, but cleaned up the flower shop, because there was no business today. Because the weather was cold, there were not many pedestrians outside, so she closed the door long ago.
Ling Weihao helped her nearby, and then drove to the school to pick up Xinyan home.
“Mommy, how can you pick me up with your uncle today?” Xin Yan raised her red little face, looked at her Mommy, and asked her, “usually it’s my uncle who drives to pick her up. If my uncle is busy, he will ask Aunt Li to pick her up, while Mommy is usually busy with the business in the flower shop and rarely comes to pick her up.”.
“There is no business in the flower shop today, so I’ll pick you up with my uncle.” Yang Shuting reached out to touch her small head, looked at her gently, and said softly.
Ling Weihao, who was standing next to him, had a gentle look. His eyes were full of spoil. He looked at Xinyan. Although she didn’t call him daddy, he knew clearly that she was trying to accept him slowly, which made him very happy.
“So it is!” Hearing what Mommy said, Xinyan nodded and said suddenly.
“Let’s get in the car!” Shu Ting took her bag, took her hand, walked to the car, hugged her on the car, and then she also sat in the car.
Ling Weihao sat in the driver’s seat and drove the car.
Yang Shuting and her daughter sat behind, and t chatted together. They were very active and happy.
Wei Hao, who was driving the car, looked at the two of them and was very happy to see them so happy.
“Mommy, you promised me to go out with Daddy before. Don’t forget…” Xinyan thought of something and suddenly said.
Yang Shuting was stunned. If Xinyan didn’t mention it, she really forgot it, because too many things had happened before. She smiled at Xinyan and said, “Mommy didn’t forget.”
“When can we go out with daddy?” Xinyan asked again, because she hadn’t seen her father for a long time, and missed him very much.
Ling Weihao, who was driving, was a little stunned when he heard this, but he didn’t show it on his face. Shu Ting had told him before, and Xin Yan also asked him if he wanted to go out with them, but he refused.
Yang Shuting didn’t answer Xinyan in advance. She raised her eyes and looked at Wei Hao. She felt a little sorry. I believe he must feel bad in his heart!
“Since the child is going, you can spare time to play with the child!” Lingweihao suddenly inserted a word. His eyes were calm, showing a slight smile. He looked at their mother and daughter and said.
In any case, Xinyan has been accompanied by Wen Yuhang since childhood. She is also used to calling Wen Yuhang her father. Anyway, there’s nothing wrong with having another father. As long as she’s happy, it’s OK.
Hearing Wei Hao’s words, Yang Shuting couldn’t help but be stunned. She raised her eyes and looked at him again. Maybe he didn’t want her to be unable to get down the steps in front of the child, or maybe he was also worried about her mood. She smiled, looked at Xinyan beside her, and said softly, “when do you want to play?”
“I think this week, today is Thursday. After tomorrow, I can go the day after tomorrow.” Xinyan raised her head and looked at Mommy. Her voice was as clear and pleasant as a copper bell. She turned her eyes as bright as stars and said to her.
“Then this Saturday!” Yang Shuting reached out and gently stroked Xinyan’s small head, pursed her lips and said with a smile that she had promised Xinyan at the beginning, so she wanted to honor her promise to take her out to play with Wen Yuhang.
“OK, oh, by the way, uncle, do you want to go?” Little Xinyan had already seen that mommy cared about her uncle, so she stood up, put her hands around the back of the chair, looked at her uncle, and suddenly asked him.
Ling Weihao was a little surprised. He turned his face and looked at Xinyan. With a shallow smile, he said, “no, uncle has a lot to do. Just have a good time.”
“Are you sure you won’t go?” Xinyan tooted her pink mouth and looked very cute. She looked at her uncle and asked him again. She asked him last time, and he answered her the same way.
“I also want to go, but there are too many things…” Ling Weihao picked his heroic eyebrows, looked at Xinyan again, and said.
“All right!” Xinyan’s eyes were a little gloomy, and she sat back in her seat. She didn’t know how happy she was to see daddy and play with him this week.
Yang Shuting smiled, looked at Xinyan, and then looked at Ling Weihao who was driving the car. She didn’t say anything. She knew clearly that he was making excuses. He just didn’t want to see the three of them having a good time together. In this way, he would be in a low mood, so he would not let his mood be so bad.
At home, Xinyan took her bag and ran back to her room at the first time. Zhang Qin is busy cooking dinner in the kitchen. Since she moved here, she has a lot of free time, but she still wants to go back to the countryside, which may be suitable for her, but her daughter and granddaughter don’t agree with her to go back, so she has to continue to live here and take care of her granddaughter.
Yang Shuting saw her mother busy in the kitchen. She put down her handbag and went into the kitchen to help her mother.
He was the only one left in the hall. He went up to the second floor to accompany Xinyan.
“Shuting, mom wants to tell you something.” In the kitchen, Zhang Qin said to Shu Ting while washing vegetables.
“What’s the matter, say it!” Yang Shuting helps cut pork. She often goes to the kitchen. She is very skilled in such things.
“That’s the same thing. I want to go home and live in the countryside for a period of time.” Speaking of this, she stopped washing vegetables, and the water splashed. She turned around, looked at Shuting, and said.
She knew clearly that her daughter would not promise her, but she was a little bored living here. Besides, she hasn’t returned to her hometown for a long time. The old house there also needs someone to go home to live in. Go home and have a look!
When Yang Shuting heard her mother mention it again, she couldn’t help but stop, turn around and look at her, and said, “Mom, didn’t you say it before! If you live here well, why should you go back to live? Besides, your body is not very good, and here we can take care of you!”
She didn’t agree with her mother to go back to her hometown. Although it was not very far from the urban and rural areas, it would take four or five hours. If her mother came home and lived, she would be at home alone. If something happened, they didn’t know and couldn’t take care of it.
“I haven’t been home for a long time.” Zhang Qin turned around and continued to wash the vegetables. After washing, she put them in the vegetable basket, turned off the water , took a rag, wiped the drops on his hands, and continued, “I’m not saying that it’s not customary to live here, at least it’s more comfortable to live at home. Someone must go home and take care of the old house at home!”
Yang Shuting was silent. She didn’t speak. Her mother was right. She always had to go back and take care of it. After all, she was born there and had good memories of her childhood there.
“You can come back and see me when you have time.” Zhang Qin said, anyway, she doesn’t ask for anything. As soon as people get old, they miss home. In the end, they want to take root.
“Mom…” Yang Shuting heard her mother say so, frowning slightly, with a sour feeling in her heart, and softly called her.
“Don’t say anything, it’s settled!” Zhang Qin didn’t want her daughter to talk more and didn’t want to continue discussing this topic, so she said to her.
What else can Yang Shuting say?
After dinner, Yang Shuting returned to the room and didn’t see Ling Weihao. Maybe he was working in the study. She went to the dresser and sat down, thinking about what her mother had said in the kitchen before.
Mother wants to go back. In addition to missing the old house, she misses her father more. She laments the merciless passing of time and the cruel killing of her father by God. Anyway, it’s useless to complain about this kind of thing, because it’s been so many years.
