Chapter 2: Being able to hold on - is the real skill
() After returning to China, Yin Yuqi would come to find her, which was expected by Tong Mai! However, it was not Yin Yuqi who came, but Chen Yuhua...
After several years of separation, we met again... Tong Mai originally thought that he could truly let go of all his resentment, but when he saw her in person, there was still hatred lingering in his heart.:...
"When you meet your elders, you don't even say hello. It seems that you are still as uncultured as before. Also, it is easy to change the situation, but it is difficult to change the character, are you right?"
Chen Yuhua looked at Tong Mai with arrogant and rude eyes. They were like natural enemies. They couldn't help but attack each other as soon as they met...
If Chen Yuhua had said she was uneducated in the past, Tong Mai would have fought tooth and nail to argue, but now that she is older, she has matured a lot and learned to use the most hurtful but least energy-intensive way to fight back.
"Elder? Who are you, this lady, to me? Can you introduce yourself? If you are a stranger, how can you greet me?" Tong Mai's tone was light and indifferent, but it hurt her morale.
Sure enough, Chen Yuhua's face turned pale with anger. She bit her lip and said, "Tong Mai, please stop giving me tongue twisters. Let's open the skylight and talk openly. How much do you want to stop pestering Huo Yize?"
As expected, her visit to her was just a matter of Yin Yuqi and Huo Yize...
"So you're going to tell me this? Actually, you don't have to ask me how much I want or what conditions I want. You can just do something like you did back then and make a recording or something so that Huo Yize and I can draw a clear line, right?
Does it save you trouble? Let me tell you, if you still want to use any tricks, just come! If I really want to return to Huo Yize, do you think you can stop me one by one? Now Yin Yuqi getting Huo Yize is nothing, because
This is what I gave to her as a gift, and the only real skill is to hold on to it."
Tong Mai's tone was still calm and calm, especially when she was looking at Chen Yuhua with such confidence, as if no matter what, as long as she was willing to return to Huo Yize, it would be effortless.
If she and Huo Yize separated because of distrust, and now she is unwilling to act as a third party and continue to have anything to do with him, it's not that they don't love each other anymore...
"Tong Mai, don't be too arrogant. I came to you for your father's sake. I don't want your father to worry about you before he dies." Chen Yuhua said angrily.
The news about Yin's father broke out from her mouth, which obviously shocked Tong Mai, "What happened to him?" Even though Yin's father had not fulfilled his responsibilities as a father to her for a day, at this moment, hearing about him
The bad news made her heart tremble slightly. It was because blood was thicker than water...
Even if she couldn't think of asking, his blood would still be stirring in her bones...
"Your dad is in the final stage of lung cancer and there is not much time left!" Chen Yuhua's voice was obviously lowered, but it could be seen that there was not much reluctance and nostalgia in his eyes.
At this moment, Tong Mai's head was rumbling.
In the past, she hated Chen Yuhua and Father Yin so much that she wanted them to be cut into pieces, but when she heard him, time was running out! Tong Mai's eyes were inexplicably sour, and her originally calm heart was rolling wantonly, but in
Chen Yuhua pretended to be calm in front of her, "It's no use using him to put pressure on me! Go back!" She didn't want to see Chen Yuhua! If she could, she would never have anything to do with her in her life.
Chen Yuhua could also see that Tong Mai was still as stubborn and determined as before. It was still useless to negotiate terms with her, so it was better to think of other ways...
Tong Mai's mood was extremely heavy after receiving the news that General Yin's father would die soon. She didn't even notice that Chen Yuhua had left at that time, and tears welled up under her eyes involuntarily.
Is it retribution? Or does the mother no longer want to be alone in heaven, so she wants to summon him?
"Grandpa, mother said that children who don't eat are not good children. Grandpa, you are an adult! You must eat well." In the ward, Huo Zhengluo was talking to Father Yin in a very obedient manner beside his bedside.
Father Yin nodded. Every time he looked at Luo Luo, his tears flowed involuntarily, "Grandpa, are you crying? Does it hurt? Luo Luo rubs it for you..."
The more he saw that Luo Luo was so obedient and sensible, the more excited he became, "Cough cough..." He coughed so hard that his breathing was not smooth at the tip of his nose, and he even had to hold his breath, "Lolo..."
"Grandpa, I'm here, let me pat you." Huo Zhengluo imitated the way Yin Yuqi patted Yin's father on the back. He followed the pattern and acted in a orderly manner.
Tong Mai stood outside the ward, looking at Father Yin's very uncomfortable look, and his heart clenched violently. This time Chen Yuhua didn't lie to her, was Father Yin really about to die?
As soon as Yin's father raised his head, he saw Tong Mai's figure. When the father and daughter looked at each other, Tong Mai reflexively dodged, as if he didn't want him to find him...
Even when she saw with her own eyes that he was about to die soon, she no longer had any hatred, but now she didn't seem to be mentally prepared to face him face to face...
"Wheat...Wheat..." Yin's father became more and more excited, "Luoluo...help grandpa stop her..." He had never dared to see Xiaomai because he was ashamed of him, but now Xiaomai is here.
, he couldn't let go of this opportunity.
"Aunt...wait..." Luoluo hurried out and called Tong Mai.
Tong Mai paused for a moment, and Luo Luo also took the opportunity to stop him, "Auntie, don't leave! My grandpa is very, very seriously ill. Can you see him?"
Luoluo is still very polite, and his attitude towards his elders is very different from that towards Tong Xiaosha. His mother has taught him since he was a child to be sensible and cultivated.
Later, his mother also told him: Tong Mai is not an aunt, but a sister-in-law... She is her mother's sister. But why does her mother's sister want to compete with her mother for her father?
Luoluo frowned and saw that Tong Mai didn't go back or forward. He cautiously stepped forward and pulled Tong Mai's hand with his little hand. In an instant, Tong Mai's body felt as if he had been struck by lightning, and every move in his body was...
Every cell is in pain, and unknown emotions are rising in the chest...
"Auntie, look at him! Grandpa is very pitiful." Luoluo continued to squeeze her palm, her dark eyes filled with sincerity, as if she could not tolerate Tongmai's rejection.
"Who is Luo Luo?" Tong Mai suddenly squatted down and looked at him levelly. He looked at Luo Luo's face carefully at close range. He had the same exquisite facial features as Huo Yize, and he was handsome.
His gentle and elegant character seems to make no one feel disgusted at all.
Tong Mai had to admit that he once again envied Yin Yuqi's good life...
"Auntie..." Luoluo originally wanted to tell her not to take her father away.
But Tong Mai held his hand and walked to the ward, stopping his next words...
"Come on, let's go in." Tong Mai grabbed the palm of Luo Luo's little hand, and there seemed to be warm currents flowing through her. Logically speaking, she should hate him. Maybe she should just call him affectionately "aunt".
Be tolerant to children, after all Luoluo is innocent.
But when Tong Mai one day finds out that the Luoluo in front of her is her sweetheart who was born in ten months of pregnancy, but calls her aunt, her world will definitely turn upside down...
"Wheat..." When he saw Tong Mai not far away, the two words that escaped from Yin's lips were obviously trembling, and he burst into tears.
Tong Mai's footsteps gradually became stiff, as if he couldn't move any closer and couldn't get closer to him. He even didn't want to get closer to him, so he could see his extremely thin cheeks more clearly.
His eye sockets were obviously sunken, as if his whole body was filled with the breath of death. Even the hand he stretched out to Tong Mai was wrinkled. In an instant, he aged and faded in the blink of an eye.
Luo Luo was silent at this time, and was quiet next to him. Xiaomai stood there, his hands in his pockets tightened, struggling whether to step forward to hold his hand, or to refuse cruelly...
Tong Mai thought of his previous cruelty, and after a moment of hesitation, he still didn't reach out...
The meaning of extending your hand is obvious, doesn't it mean that you have forgiven him? At this moment, although you can try not to hate him, you can't forgive him either!
Father Yin continued to cough, and the palm holding his lips was stained with blood, but he still tried hard to say a lot to Tong Mai...
"Mai Mai, I'm sorry, I'm sorry for you..." Yin's father did not dare to call himself "father" in front of her. He knew that he was ashamed of Tong Mai and was not worthy of being a father at all. "You... can come see me! I
Already...very satisfied..." A smile appeared on the pale and slender face. Such a smile made people feel depressed and couldn't help but feel distressed.
From beginning to end, Tong Mai just stared at him without saying anything and had nothing to say!
"Grandpa, stop talking..."
Luoluo patted Yin's father on the back. He seemed to be more sensible than Tong Mai, but now Tong Mai was not ignorant, but for a moment...she didn't know how to face it.
Do you forgive him? I feel unwilling to do so!
Don’t you forgive me? And you feel reluctant to let go...
Tears were rolling in her eyes, but she didn't want to cry in front of him, "You take good care of yourself, and I'll come see you when I have time someday." Her words were choked and hurried. The more hasty she was, the more her panic and concern were highlighted.
"Mai Mai... don't leave... I still have something to say..." Seeing Tong Mai leave, Yin's father hated his physical weakness and could not stop her.
But this time Luoluo quickly caught up and said, "Auntie..."
Tong Mai turned her back to Luo Luo, wiped the tears from her eyes, and then turned around, "Luo Luo, my aunt has something to do, so I have to leave first." She couldn't stay any longer, and staying would only make her more embarrassed.
Luoluo still stood there, with deep expectation in her bright eyes, "Auntie, can I ask you something?"
What's going on? Tong Mai frowned and couldn't help but feel a little puzzled.
Her silence, Luoluo took it as her acquiescence, "Auntie, my mother is very pitiful, please give my father back to my mother, okay?"
