Cen Yunong has always had very complicated feelings for his mother.
Her father died when she was very young, and it was her mother who raised her up alone. It goes without saying that she endured many hardships. Cen Fangruo was a female worker in an ordinary textile factory. Later, the factory was reformed, and Cen Fangruo was reformed, and she was honored.
Got laid off.
Life for a laid-off female worker with a child is naturally very problematic. In order to support Cen Yunong in school, Cen Fangruo endured hardships. She built a small trailer and rode a three-wheeler to sell spicy hotpot during the day. At night, she set up a stall at the night market.
I sell trinkets, small clothes, etc. from the wholesale market. I have been frugal in this way, and I have managed to survive.
Later, Cen Fangruo took a job as a nanny. Because she did a good job, she was introduced to Zhou Xian's home. It happened that Zhou Xian was in poor health at the time and urgently needed someone to take care of her day and night. Cen Fangruo was not willing to stay at Zhou Xian's home for a long time.
At home, there was a daughter to take care of. Zhou Xian saw that she was considerate and reliable, so he said that he would marry Cen Fangruo so that he could take care of him more conveniently.
It's said to be taking care of, but actually it's just to serve.
Cen Fangruo married into this family entirely for the sake of her daughter Cen Yunong. It’s okay for her to suffer, but once she marries a university professor as her wife, Yunong will at least be able to live a better life. Going to school will be smoother in the future.
.So even if she is just a servant in this family, she is willing to do so.
It’s just that she completely ignored Cen Yunong’s wishes. Cen Yunong has been strong and stubborn since he was a child, and he never wanted to be insulted under the roof of others, let alone Zhou Yuhan, a top stepsister! During those years in the Zhou family, if not
With Zhou Ziqiao's protection and care, Cen Yunong would not have been able to stay in that home for such a long time!
So starting from college, Cen Yunong rarely went back to that home. Although it was very close to home, Cen Yunong chose to stay on campus and stay in the dormitory. He tried his best to avoid going home even during the winter and summer vacations, and only worked in big companies.
practice.
It's not that she doesn't know how to be filial and considerate of her mother, it's just that she doesn't want to go back and see her mother groveling and forcing a smile. Such bitter tears and fake smiles are really unbearable for her to see.
Therefore, besides studying hard and working hard, Cen Yunong has no other way to better repay his mother.
As for the fact that she later married into the Gu family and gave birth to a child, her mother was not allowed to know at all. However, after she left the Gu family, her mother rarely took the initiative to call to care about her.
Occasionally, she would learn news about her mother from Zhou Ziqiao. It was nothing more than those things in the past. Her mother was in good health, serving Zhou Xian every day, and living an ordinary life.
Over the years, her mother and she seemed to have completely lost contact. Cen Yunong admitted that it was mostly her fault. She deliberately avoided contact with her mother, perhaps just to avoid the unbearable memory of her childhood when she was dependent on others.
So Cen Yunong was surprised to receive a call from Cen Fangruo at this time.
"Mom, why did you call? Have you eaten?" Cen Yunong asked stiffly.
Gao Feng was a little surprised when he heard the word "mom". He couldn't help but stop his chopsticks and look at Cen Yunong.
"Is everything okay?" he asked concerned.
Cen Yunong shook his head, then put his ear close to the phone: "Mom, it's so late, what's the matter with calling me?"
"Oh. It's nothing. I just miss you. So I called you to ask you how you are doing recently?" Cen Fangruo's voice sounded a little vicissitudes of life again.
Cen Yunong nodded: "Mom, I'm doing well. How about you, how are you doing recently? Are you feeling well?"
"Everything is fine, everything is fine. There is no shortage of food and clothing here. But there is one thing. Mom misses you. You are so talkative. See you tomorrow." There was a slight pleading in Cen Fangruo's tone.
Cen Yunong nodded: "Okay, I will be free at noon tomorrow. Then we will meet at Wutong Street next to the Municipal Court."
Cen Fangruo nodded and said yes, and Cen Yunong waited for her to hang up before hanging up the phone.
Because she kept thinking about her mother's incident, Cen Yunong had no time to think about anything else. So she put aside the impact of Zhou Yuhan's incident on her for the time being. She happened to have to work overtime in the court in the evening, so Cen Yunong
Of course, Yu Nong stayed in the office overnight.
It was finally noon the next day, and Cen Yunong arrived at a beef noodle restaurant in advance to wait for Cen Fangruo according to the agreed time.
Cen Fangruo was not a young lady from a wealthy family, so she never went to any cafes. Cen Yunong was afraid of being scolded by her mother again, so she simply chose a place where she would not be scolded.
Beef noodle restaurant, economical and affordable, Cen Fangruo’s favorite.
After sitting inside for a while, Cen Fangruo came as promised.
"Mom, here." Cen Yunong waved to Cen Fangruo.
When Cen Fangruo saw her daughter, she felt a little cautious. She rubbed her hands vigorously and walked towards Cen Yunong's table with her head down.
"Mom, sit down." Cen Yu smiled thickly and looked at her mother's face.
I haven't been home for many years, and my mother seems to be getting older. I guess life in the Zhou family will not be easy, that's why she looks so old.
Cen Yunong's nose felt sour, and he quickly lowered his head and smiled: "Mom, are you hungry? Do you want to order a bowl of noodles?"
"No, no, no, no, the noodles here are not cheap. A bowl costs more than ten yuan. With this money, I might as well go home and cook and eat." If Cen Fang is a person who is used to hardship, he will not be willing to part with more than ten yuan.
Cen Yunong held her hand and smiled: "Mom, my daughter is rich now. We can still afford beef noodles for more than ten yuan."
After saying that, without waiting for Cen Fangruo to say anything else, he waved the waiter over: "Two bowls of beef noodles. For the small bowl, add more beef, no coriander or garlic."
Cen Fangruo smiled: "You still remember that I don't eat coriander or garlic."
Cen Yunong poured a glass of water for her mother: "I am your daughter, how can I forget these things? I can't forget them anywhere."
Cen Fangruo glanced at her, took a deep breath, and finally plucked up the courage to say: "Yunong, you, give up Gu Shaoqin to Yuhan. She is still young..."
This sentence was like a bolt from the blue, hitting Cen Yunong's head. When she heard this sentence, she was stunned for a long time, and then asked in disbelief: "Mom, what did you say? What does letting mean?"
Not allowed?"
Cen Fangruo's face had turned pale, and the aura emanating from her daughter made her dare not say anything, but thinking about Zhou Xian's face, she finally gritted her teeth and said with difficulty: "Yes, you are Yu Han's sister.
You have to give way to your sister in everything. She is still young, and she likes that Gu Shaoqin so much that she will not marry him regardless of right or wrong. Yu Nong, for the sake of your mother, just give it to your sister!"
This time Cen Yunong finally understood the meaning of his mother's words. Today's meal is not a bittersweet reunion of mother and daughter crying together! It turns out to be a Hongmen banquet of "forcing one's daughter to give up to her husband"!
I'll do it!
What else can she eat with beef noodles? Just eat shit! If she, Cen Yunong, agrees to this ridiculous request today, her name will be written upside down!
Although she doesn't love Gu Shaoqin and has no feelings for him at all. But her mother actually forced her to give up her husband to her difficult stepsister! She said this and she still laughed out loud!
Losing a man is a small matter, but this issue of face is a big deal!
So Cen Yunong sneered, placed the beef noodle bowl heavily on the table, and said coldly: "Who asked you to tell me? You yourself? I don't think you have the time to worry about your biological daughter's marriage!"
When Cen Fangruo was teased by her daughter, she immediately blushed and murmured: "I have to say it myself. When Yuhan was at home, she kept crying. Your father almost fell ill again.
I really couldn't bear it, so..."
"So you come to ask your biological daughter if she is willing to give up her husband to someone else! You would rather break up your biological daughter's family than make your old man and that unruly idiot happy!
"Cen Yunong was about to get into a rage!
"Yu Nong, it's not like that, I am..." Cen Fangruo saw that her daughter was angry and was extremely anxious. But she was also clumsy and tongue-tied, so she couldn't even stammer out what she wanted to say.
Cen Yu took a deep breath, stood up, threw down a pink banknote, and looked at Cen Fangruo sadly: "Mom, you really disappoint me! Today's conversation ends here, I don't want to talk about this topic again.
Keep going, otherwise the relationship between our mother and daughter will only be hurt even more deeply!"
After saying these words, Cen Yunong was about to turn around and leave. Unexpectedly, as soon as she took a step forward, the door of the restaurant opened from the outside, and the two figures that Cen Yunong hated most in her life appeared vividly in front of her eyes!
