Lin Xiangwan also didn't expect that she would recognize Chu Di at a glance among so many people. Looking at him from a distance, she lost the ability to move. She sat blankly in the car, at a loss.
How did he...become like this? When she met him for the first time after returning to China, she laughed at how old he was. But compared with that time, his changes now would be earth-shaking. If it weren't for their entanglement,
For a long time, I'm afraid no one will be able to recognize him now.
At first glance, the man's clothes were casually picked out from the corner and put on. There was no sense of matching or particularity at all. The suit and trouser legs were covered with wrinkles, large and small, which gave him the natural noble look he once had.
The energy has disappeared.
It was as if he had been knocked back to his original form, thrown directly into the abyss from a high place, and his desolate appearance was unbearable to watch.
His slightly messy hair, green eye circles and stubble, and his thin face were even more clear-cut. His whole person was like a sharp blade rushing out of its sheath, but his sharp eyes remained unchanged.
Like her, he was standing in an inconspicuous place on the street corner, and their eyes fell on the same person.
Ye Nan didn't know what he said to Xiaozhen. Xiaozhen no longer wanted to cross the road, but the little girl was obviously a little unhappy. She pouted her lips and her round little face bulged with anger. She looked like a
Angry little pufferfish.
Ye Nan did not persuade her, but took off her schoolbag, put it on the ground, rummaged around a lot, and found something similar to a Lux bar and handed it to Xiaozhen.
Xiaozhen took it and it was clear after the rain.
She opened the package and carefully divided the Lux rack into two pieces. The two children ate the sweet snacks, looked at each other and smiled, and never let go of their little hands.
At this moment, Chu Di suddenly took two steps forward. Lin Xiangwan didn't know what he was going to do. He was holding on to the door handle tightly. It seemed that if Chu Di was unfavorable to Ye Nan, he would rush over.
Xu Yunqi pressed the car lock, "Look again, he won't do anything. The Shen family protects Ye Nan very well and will not let him get within ten meters of him."
Sure enough, before Xu Yunqi finished speaking, the man standing behind Ye Nan had already moved. He took a few steps forward and blocked Chu Di not far away.
Chu Di was explaining something to him hurriedly, but the man just shook his head. Being too far away and in the car, Lin Xiangwan couldn't hear what Chu Di was saying, but just looking at his expression, she was inexplicably confused.
A little sad.
She placed her palm lightly on her chest. There was a huge scar there, bigger than her palm. She took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down the strange emotions in her heart.
"It seems like he wants to give Ye Nan something."
Although Chu Di himself was not very well-dressed, the box he held in his hand was beautifully packaged and tied with a silver butterfly knot. It looked like the contents inside should be valuable.
The bodyguard hesitated for a moment, but finally took the thing, turned around a few steps, and handed it to Ye Nan.
Ye Nan looked at the gorgeous cardboard box indifferently, pursed his lips tightly, and his brows were slightly furrowed, making it difficult to see his expression clearly, but after hesitating for a moment, he still put the cardboard box down.
A smile that was half gratified and half sad appeared on Chu Di's face, but before the smile could take shape, it turned into astonishment. Because he saw that Ye Nan raised his hand and threw the box heavily.
On the road with cars coming and going.
There were so many cars on the road that the exquisite gift box was quickly swallowed up by the rolling traffic. After the green light, there was only a broken box in the middle of the road. Inside the box was a remote-controlled airplane model that had been crushed by the wheels.
The tiny fragments of the model shimmered faintly in the dusk and sunset. Soon, when the next round of traffic arrived, they completely disappeared.
The nanny car that came to pick up Ye Nan and Xiaozhen also arrived at the school at this time. Ye Nan pulled Xiaozhen and got into the car without looking back, leaving Chu Di alone.
From the beginning to the end, Ye Nan never looked at him, let alone said a word to him.
This is her son, with her blood flowing in his veins. He is as clear about love and hate as he is, and he must retaliate. She should feel gratified. Although Ye Nan is only a little child, he has already understood that the backside of love is not
Hate, but indifference. Only indifference is the best reward for the person you hate, but she is not happy at all.
She was so sad that she wanted to cry. She buried her face in her hands, but not a drop came out.
"Go, go back, take me back to the tea house, please." Lin Xiangwan whimpered, urging Xu Yunqi to leave the school gate as if he was escaping from some kind of disaster.
On the way back, the car was so quiet that it made people nervous. Xu Yun lit a cigarette. The dusk wind blew in through the open window of the car. Lin Xiangwan's long hair was fluttering in the wind, and she curled up.
, as motionless as a thorn.
"Sorry, I thought you would be happier if I showed you Ye Nan, but I seem to have done something wrong." Xu Yunqi laughed at himself, pinched out the cigarette butt and threw it into the mountain road.
Lin Xiangwan did not answer, and still maintained a self-protective posture, with his face pressed against the glass window, motionless.
Xu Yunqi felt a little heavy and wanted to turn on the radio, but right here, Lin Xiangwan said, "Next month is Ye Nan's birthday. That should be his birthday gift."
"Oh? Have you prepared a gift for him?" Xu Yunqi asked.
Lin Xiangwan shook his head with a wry smile, "No, I haven't given him a proper birthday in several years. Thinking about it, I am really an incompetent mother. At that time, I was busy in Chicago, busy making money and busy studying for credits.
Every day on Ye Nan's birthday, I bought him a cup of bread and put in a candle to celebrate it casually. Because at that time, he didn't know how to make wishes. Every time he made a wish, I made it for him and I blew out the candles for him.
. Later he became sensible. He actually always wanted me to give him a good birthday, but I was still busy. I thought I would have a lot of time. Even if I don’t have time this year, I will have time next year. I always feel that if I can make those
I understand everything, no matter how many years from now, I can help him organize any birthday he wants... But..." Lin Xiangwan sighed as he spoke, and spread his long hair on the side of his face, making her see
She looks like a little girl who will be criticized immediately if she does something wrong. "On the other hand, Chu Di always remembered this day after returning to China. She prepared gifts for him very early. She always gave Ye Nan many expensive gifts when she had nothing to do.
The gift is meant to make up for his missed birthdays."
"You can make up for it later, it's too late." Xu Yunqi consoled him.
Lin Xiangwan said, "How long will it take? At that time, whether Ye Nan forgives me or not will still be the same thing. Have you seen the stubbornness of that little guy? He is very powerful. Who treats him badly and who treats him right?"
He is good, and he knows it very well. Even if I want to secretly ask Shen Shijun to give him a gift, I can't. I will ask, who gave it to me, why did he give it to me, and how did he know that I like this? Shen Shijun wouldn't do it.
If you lie, sooner or later he will let you know the truth. Then it will be even more troublesome."
"Xu Yunqi, let me ask you, am I a very failed mother? I want to protect my child, but I put him in danger. In the end, I can only withdraw in such a clumsy way, like a deserter. It's ugly, right?"
This is really a difficult question to answer. Saying yes or no seems wrong.
Fortunately, Lin Xiangwan didn't really want to get answers from Xu Yunqi, she just wanted to talk.
Although Long Jiwei gave her a refuge, he had no time to listen to her nonsense. To him, only Bai Jing's words were meaningful, and others were all nonsense. And Bai Jing, even Lin Xiang
Even if I say a thousand or ten thousand words to her, she will not give her a response.
She has been through so many things, and escaping from death is like living a new life. In those days when one foot was in the Palace of Hell and the other was still in the world of the earth, she seemed to have climbed many unknown mountains, and every one of them
The mountains are engraved with her past. She has never reviewed her life so carefully and profoundly. The joys and sorrows in her life are like unfolding pictures, for her to savor and think carefully.
And it wasn't until the end that she discovered that she was so stupid and that the things she had been stubborn about didn't actually make much sense, and what was truly precious was ignored by her.
Xu Yunqi's car drove quickly and steadily, and he brought Lin Xiangwan back to the tea house in less than three hours, complete with beard.
The cast iron door of the tea house has been opened. Long Jiwei stood at the door impatiently. When he saw the car, his brows knitted together.
The door of the tea house weighs at least several hundred kilograms and is usually locked. The fear is that some unscrupulous people will break in and disturb the people recuperating here. Usually when someone in the tea house wants to go out, they always go to the side.
Lin Xiangwan left in a hurry when she went out, and did not have time to inform Long Jiwei. She originally thought that Long Jiwei didn't care about her life and death, and wished she would disappear as soon as possible. Now it seems that the surnamed Long is still
Somewhat conscience.
However, Lin Xiangwan was really in a bad mood at the moment, so she nodded to Long Jiwei as a greeting. Long Jiwei stepped aside, letting Lin Xiangwan walk over, and then stood at the door of the tea house again.
Xu Yunqi and Long Jiwei looked at each other. The latter's eyes were like lightning, and he didn't understand any etiquette at all, and he stabbed him hard. Xu Yunqi suddenly felt depressed in his heart, just like the summer and the rainy season, and even the air became dull.
Thick and heavy, he endured the discomfort deep in his body and exchanged glances with Long Jiwei unceremoniously.
After a while, Long Jiwei raised the corner of his mouth slightly, turned around and entered the tea house, closed the door with one hand and locked it.
"Don't see that man again." Long Jiwei followed Lin Xiangwan and said, "Otherwise, get out."
Lin Xiangwan thought he was talking about Chu Di, so he explained, "I didn't mean to see him, I just bumped into him at the school gate."
"I'm not talking about your mistress, but the man who sent you back."
