Tang Xinyi's childhood trauma still cannot be healed. The emotional rift between her and her mother, even if her mother is now seriously ill, she cannot repair or truly forgive her mother.
This is the tragedy of the original family.
Chen Feng also tried to persuade her about this, but there was nothing she could do if she didn't listen, or only half listened.
In short, Chen Feng agreed to go to her hometown to visit her mother tomorrow. In this way, he was able to earn face for her and fulfill his filial piety.
After the two discussed the matter, they ended the call without further conversation.
Back in the living room, Chen Feng told Wu Mengting the whole thing. There was nothing to hide.
What's more, Tang Xinyi's mother is seriously ill and is likely to die soon. He pretended to be Tang Xinyi's boyfriend and went over to meet her, which was considered a good deed.
Wu Mengting didn't object, and it would be useless even if she objected.
At nine o'clock the next morning, Chen Feng officially set off for Jinling, Tang Xinyi's hometown.
It was only over an hour away. Chen Feng read a few chapters of the novel on the train, and the time passed by.
At the exit of the train station, Chen Feng got into the car driven by Tang Xinyi.
After not seeing Tang Xinyi for two or three days, she looked quite haggard. After the car started, Chen Feng had time to ask about her mother's specific condition.
"She has rectal cancer and a variety of geriatric diseases. She underwent surgery this time. Although it was successful, she is not very optimistic. It may only last a few months."
Tang Xinyi's tone was very calm, as if she was describing a stranger's condition.
Chen Feng could only say: "Then you should spend more time with your mother. Anyway, your company has been transferred now, so you don't have much to do."
Tang Xinyi nodded and said: "Yes, I plan to stay with her for the next period of time. After a while, her condition has stabilized a little, and I will take her to travel to the places she wants to go, and try to let her leave without any regrets.
.”
"That's right." Chen Feng said with some appreciation, "How can there be any overnight hatred between mother and daughter? Let go of the prejudices and obsessions in your heart and reach an understanding with your mother. Only then will you have no regrets in your life."
In his heart, Chen Feng didn't actually feel how much injustice and abuse Tang Xinyi suffered when she was a child.
It is the common wish of countless parents in China to hope that their children will succeed and have a great future. They have strictly disciplined their children since they were young, and sometimes using violence is relatively normal.
When many people grow up, they will thank their parents for their strict discipline when they were young.
Tang Xinyi, on the other hand, has always been resentful of her mother's harsh discipline when she was a child. Even now that her mother is dying, she still can't fully forgive her. This is a bit too much in Chen Feng's opinion.
In today's society, although the educational concept of filial sons born under a stick is no longer promoted, this concept is still used by many parents. Many tiger parents, tiger mothers, and wolf mothers pursue strict education for their children, and in the end they really
Raise your children to be excellent.
Although Tang Xinyi was not educated and trained by her parents to become a top student, she at least was admitted to an art school and later became a star.
You said that her previous success had nothing to do with her parents. That is obviously wrong.
At least her parents gave her a pretty face, otherwise she might not have become a star.
Of course, don't persuade others to be generous without their suffering.
Chen Feng was right in thinking so, and he tried to persuade Tang Xinyi to let go of her past resentment towards her mother, but she couldn't do it, and Chen Feng wouldn't think she was at fault.
Everyone has their own perspective on the problem and their own ideas.
"I understand, thank you for coming here this time." Tang Xinyi was very grateful to Chen Feng for coming this time.
"There is no need to say any kind words. Your mother is seriously ill now and wants to see me. As your man, it is right for me to come over and meet her."
"Others don't know, but we both know that you are not my boyfriend. Now I ask you to pretend to be my boyfriend and come all the way to Aurous Hill. This is not your obligation. So, I am very grateful to you.
, I owe you a favor."
Chen Feng couldn't help laughing when he heard this: "Why are you and I still so polite? Although I am not your boyfriend, I am your man. You can't deny this. As your man, I will do something for you that I can do.
, shouldn’t it? So, don’t say you owe me a favor or anything like that.”
"You think I don't owe you any favors, but I still feel I do." Tang Xinyi said seriously.
"Okay, if you think you owe me, just owe me. It's good for you to owe me a favor."
"Well, I will pay it back in the future."
The two chatted all the way, and after about half an hour, they stopped in front of a hotel.
This is the hotel arranged by Tang Xinyi for Chen Feng. Chen Feng will stay here for one night.
After putting her luggage in the hotel room, Tang Xinyi continued to drive her to the hospital.
Her mother is still in the hospital, so Chen Feng bought a fruit basket at the entrance of the hospital, carried it into the inpatient department of the hospital, and met her mother.
Tang Xinyi's mother did not look old, even though she had just undergone surgery, but from the outside she looked like she was in her fifties. Unfortunately, she was seriously ill and died soon.
Mother Tang's first impression of Chen Feng, her daughter's boyfriend, was very good. After all, he was tall and handsome, and he was also the boss of a film and television company with assets worth hundreds of millions. He had produced two popular dramas, "The Sapphire Case" and "Flying Flowers".
Saw it too.
Mother Tang became more and more satisfied with Chen Feng.
After a brief exchange of greetings, Tang's mother happily said to Chen Feng: "I am very satisfied that Xiaoyi has a boyfriend like you. I just don't know when you will get married? Do you and Xiaoyi have such a plan?"
After all, Xiaoyi is not young anymore."
Unexpectedly, as soon as Tang’s mother opened her mouth, she would force the marriage to happen on the spot.
Before Chen Feng could think of how to answer, Tang Xinyi hurriedly said: "Mom, we are not in a hurry about the marriage. After all, we realize that it is less than a year away. We need to get to know each other more and get to know each other better."
Tang's mother sighed and said, "You are already thirty-four years old this year, right? If you don't get married soon, how long will it take for you to get married?"
Tang Xinyi really couldn't refute.
Seeing this, Chen Feng opened his mouth and said: "We are already seriously considering it. I have been divorced before, so I will be very cautious about my second marriage, so I have not discussed marriage with Xinyi for the time being, but in our mutual hearts
We all have concerns and plan to wait until our relationship becomes more stable before we get married."
Tang's mother said, "You should have this plan within this year, right?"
After Chen Feng and Tang Xinyi looked at each other, it was Chen Feng who spoke: "I have this plan, but as I said just now, I have been divorced and I have to be cautious about my second marriage."
"Aren't you very satisfied with our Xiaoyi?" Mother Tang asked.
"Of course not, I am very satisfied with her. But marriage is not a child's play, I will still be very cautious."
Chen Feng could only say this.
Seeing this, Tang's mother sighed helplessly and said: "You young people's views on marriage are completely different from ours. Xiao Chen, I'm not forcing you to marry my Xiaoyi. It's just that you should also know that my body is not good for you."
I know I can live with her for a few more days and I will leave at any time. I can't watch her get married before I leave. I might feel uneasy about leaving. I hope you can understand."
"I understand, of course I understand." Chen Feng nodded immediately, "I understand how you feel, but I'm really sorry that I can't promise you to marry Xinyi right away. However, I can assure you that I will treat her well.
Protect her and let her live a happy life."
Mother Tang stared at Chen Feng seriously for a while. Seeing that Chen Feng's eyes showed no intention of evading, she nodded her head and said, "Okay, I believe you."
That was the end of the forced marriage. Then Tang's mother asked him some more questions about his family, including some basic family information, and Chen Feng answered them all.
Later, Tang’s mother also took the initiative to talk about some of their family’s situation. Their family’s population was quite simple. Apart from her, the elder, there were two brothers and sisters, Tang Xinyi. Tang Xinyi’s brother was now an associate professor at Jinling University. He was married and had a seven-year-old son.
eldest daughter.
After chatting with Mother Tang for more than an hour, Mother Tang finally felt a little exhausted, so the meeting and conversation ended.
Tang Xinyi and Chen Feng came out of the ward together, and Tang's mother hired a nurse to take care of them.
"I'm sorry, my mother is like this because she is sick, so don't take it to heart."
After coming out of the ward, Tang Xinyi immediately apologized to Chen Feng.
Of course Chen Feng was not angry, and said naturally: "It's human nature for your mother to force me to get married. After all, she thought I was your boyfriend."
Tang Xinyi sighed and said, "It would be great if you really were my boyfriend."
Chen Feng said: "I have told you a long time ago that I will not consider getting married in the past few years. Even if I are really your boyfriend, I will not consider getting married."
"I didn't talk about getting married. If you were really my boyfriend, I could make many demands of you as a matter of course."
"any request?"
"For example, I can ask you to stay here for a few more days and spend more time with me and my mother. In addition, I can also ask you to take me and my mother on a trip. I can ask you to do other things.
"
"Then I'll really disappoint you. I'll stay here for at most one day, and I'll go back tomorrow. After all, I have my own things to do in Xiuzhou. As for traveling with you and your mother, that's even more impossible.
.I think your mother should prefer that you and your brother travel with her, not you and me. You should ask your brother to take leave and accompany you and your mother on the trip."
He will not let Tang Xinyi lead her by the nose and let her make more demands on him.
"I knew you would be like this. My brother is a nerd, and he is usually very busy at work. My mother would definitely be reluctant to let him take time off to travel with her. That's how she considers her son."
"Isn't he an associate professor at the school? He usually takes weekends off, right? He's very busy at work? In addition, his mother is leaving soon. Isn't it natural for him to take time off to travel with him and fulfill his last filial duty? You
Just tell him, I think he will agree. As long as he agrees, will your mother refuse? I don't think she will."
"Okay, I'll tell my brother."
The two of them walked out of the hospital, and then Tang Xinyi cheered up and took Chen Feng to visit the scenic spots here. They ate at the scenic spots at noon. They ate local snacks, which tasted very good.
After lunch, the two wandered around again before returning to the hotel to rest together.
After the two rested together for two hours, they each took a bath, and then they lay comfortably on the bed and talked about things.
"I won't think about starting a business for the time being, but can you give me some good advice so that I can start a business again in the future?"
Tang Xinyi sold the company and is now an unemployed young woman.
"Let's talk about the future in the future. Ask me for advice on starting a business. My advice is not to start a business. Divide your current money into two parts, deposit one part in the bank for a fixed term, and use the other part for free consumption. In this way, basically
I won’t have to worry about it in my previous life. The money you deposit in the bank on a regular basis will earn a lot of interest every year.”
"According to what you said, wouldn't I just lie down?"
"Isn't it good to lie down? Now I can actually lie down and enter retirement life early. I feel quite happy."
"How can you be lying down like this? After all, you still have a company, which can make you a lot of money every year. It's different for me. After the company was sold, I really had nothing to do."
"It's too early for you to consider these things now. Your first priority now is to accompany your mother and accompany her through the final journey. The rest can be discussed after this incident."
"ok, I get it."
After the two chatted for a while, Tang Xinyi received a call from her brother Tang Hongying, saying that she wanted to invite Chen Feng to have dinner with her in the evening to get acquainted.
It was difficult to refuse this request, so Tang Xinyi agreed.
Near evening, Jin Xinyan took him to her brother's house.
Her brother entertained them in his own home, which was a sign of not treating them as outsiders.
Her brother was pretty much what Chen Feng had imagined. He wore glasses, was polite, had a bookish air, and had a vague resemblance to Tang Xinyi in appearance, especially his eyes and nose. The brother and sister looked really alike.
Tang Xinyi's sister-in-law also wears glasses. Although she is not very beautiful, she is very elegant, speaks and treats others well. The most important thing is that she is very good at cooking. This is why Tang Hongying invited them to dinner at home.
An important reason.
Tang Xinyi's niece is seven years old this year. She looks a bit like Tang Xinyi and is already in elementary school. At first, she was not very close to Tang Xinyi, her aunt, but after Tang Xinyi said a few beautiful words, the niece immediately started talking and laughing with her.
stand up.
The meal started not long after the two came over. Neither of them were too restrained and both ate two bowls of rice. The main reason was that Tang Xinyi's sister-in-law was really good at cooking and they all praised the several dishes they ate.
After finishing the meal, Tang Hongying opened a bottle of red wine and poured it for both Chen Feng and Tang Xinyi.
Then, he raised his glass and said to the two of them: "As a brother, I used to care too little about you Xinyi. But in my heart, I always hope that my sister can live well. Chen Feng, can you promise me
, always take care of her and give her happiness?" ()
