When she went home for dinner, her mother-in-law prepared a table of delicious food. Now the atmosphere at home was much more relaxed than at the beginning. Her father-in-law and mother-in-law slowly accepted her.
After dinner, Jiang Hao accompanied his father to watch the news broadcast in the living room, while his mother-in-law took Qiao Xinwei to the room and talked about herself.
"Xinwei, how is your health lately?"
Qiao Xinwei was flattered, "Mom, I'm in good health." The sun was shining in the west, and her mother-in-law, who usually ignored her, actually started to care about her health.
"Is there any movement in your stomach...?"
Qiao Xinwei instantly realized that her mother-in-law was asking about this. She smiled sheepishly and said, "Not yet."
Lin Caiyin frowned slightly, sighed and said, "Why not yet? Ah Hao is in such good health and has no problem with his annual physical examination. How about you take a day and I can accompany you to check it out?"
Well, the mother-in-law was doubting whether she could have children, "Mom, there is nothing wrong with my health. This kind of thing also depends on fate. Jiang Hao and I have worked very hard."
"Xinwei, I really didn't think highly of you at first, but we have no choice but to accept what Ah Hao has determined. It was my fault for saying cold words to you before. Don't forget it in your heart." Lin Caiyin said her feelings.
Worried, "Don't get into trouble with Ah Hao because of our old relationship."
Qiao Xinwei was so anxious, wondering what happened to her mother-in-law today, "Mom, don't scare me, what's wrong?"
Lin Caiyin held her hand and said sincerely: "We have read the news and know that the old Ah Hao is back, but you must not have any knots in your heart and live a good life with Ah Hao. If she comes to trouble you,
Don't go home and get angry with Ah Hao, tell me and I will fix her."
Qiao Xinwei was stunned for a while, and Lin Caiyin continued: "This year is very important for Ah Hao. Whether he can go up depends on his performance this year. If marriage problems arise at such a critical juncture, then what will happen to him after so many years?"
All your hard work will be in vain. Government units attach great importance to the behavior and style of comrades, and there should be no stain on it, do you understand?"
After listening to her mother-in-law's words, Qiao Xinwei suddenly realized that the reason why Jiang Hao had always emphasized that he would not get divorced after getting married was because of his own career. She had something in her heart that was very suppressed, but now she felt even more sad.
Lin Caiyin saw her embarrassment, held her hand even more tightly, and tried to persuade her: "Xinwei, who hasn't gotten over it yet? In short, our Jiang family considers you a daughter-in-law. If you have any grievances, tell me, no matter it is
Be it Hao or anyone else, if you feel wronged, just tell mom and she will make the decision for you."
Qiao Xinwei looked at her. Although her mother-in-law had taken good care of herself, she had been ravaged by many years. The fine lines at the corners of her eyes betrayed her age, and the bloodshot eyes in the whites also wrote about the vicissitudes she had experienced. She suddenly thought of her own
Mother, a mother, no matter what they say or do, their starting point is for the good of their children.
She once complained about why her mother got married so quickly. Later, when she grew up, she understood that her mother wanted to give her a perfect family. For a girl who was only thirteen years old, nothing was as good as a family.
A perfect family is important.
So now, she understood why her mother-in-law changed her attitude towards her. Wasn't it all for Jiang Hao? She responded with a warm smile and said: "Mom, I understand, don't worry, Jiang Hao and I will be fine.
"
When he came out of the room, Jiang Hao was raising his hand to knock on the door, "What are you two whispering in the room?"
Lin Caiyin: "Isn't it just a big thing to have a grandson? Son, you have to work harder."
Jiang Hao put his arms around Qiao Xinwei's shoulders and raised his eyebrows, "Did I try hard? Well, let's go home and work harder."
"Why don't you just sleep at home tonight, and I'll make some tonic soup for you to take to work tomorrow."
Jiang Hao didn't care, he looked at Qiao Xinwei.
"Mom, don't bother. We have been exercising recently and have to take a two-hour walk after dinner. It just so happens. Husband, let's walk back."
Jiang Hao raised his eyebrows and smiled secretly without exposing her, "Are you sure?"
"Well, there has been no smog these days. The air is good. It's perfect for a walk after a meal to relax. Let's go."
"Then Mom, we'd better go back, so you can stop working."
It really took two hours to walk back to the apartment from the Jiang family mansion. Qiao Xinwei was digging a hole for herself to jump into. When she walked out of the Jiang family mansion, Jiang Hao didn't say anything. He just stepped forward and pulled her to the roadside. At this time, he took a taxi.
Is it difficult to say it is difficult or easy to say it depends on the opportunity.
Qiao Xinwei shook off his hand and said calmly: "I don't want to take a taxi, I want to take the subway."
Jiang Hao knew that she was feeling uncomfortable, and she felt uncomfortable not letting her vent her anger, so he just let her go, "Okay, let's take the subway."
Subway Line 1 was always overcrowded no matter what time of day. After buying a ticket and waiting on the platform, the wind in the aisle was blowing. Jiang Hao took advantage of the situation and pulled her over her body and hugged her tightly.
"What did mom tell you? It must not be as simple as holding a grandchild. Your face is stretched even longer."
"Don't you want to say it? Do you want to quarrel? If you can feel better if you scold me, then scold me."
"At least you can say something, don't let me think that I am alone, okay?"
"Wife?..."
At this time, the subway entered the station, and there was a surge of people. Jiang Hao pulled Qiao Xinwei into line, protecting her from others.
The subway was full of people, and they were standing by the handrail at the door. The subway opened and the wind whistled loudly. Qiao Xinwei got a lump in her throat and cried when she saw the wind.
Jiang Hao was standing behind her. He saw it from the reflection of the subway's glass door. He hugged her waist tightly, squeezing her hand with his big hands. He felt uncomfortable when he saw the lines of tears she shed.
Very.
After leaving the subway station, I was greeted by the cool wind. The evening wind was a bit cool, but it made people feel more energetic.
"Do you feel better?" Jiang Hao asked.
Qiao Xinwei wiped away her tears. How could she feel better? He waited until she fell in love with him before telling her that he had someone else in his heart. Now she knew from others that he didn't divorce for the sake of his career. How could she feel better? No matter how strong she was,
My heart has been tortured to pieces. She is only twenty-four years old after the New Year. Is this how she spends her whole life? God, can it be fair? Can the person I love also love me?
"I knew you were looking for excuses not to live at home. It's better to vent your bad mood than to keep it inside."
Qiao Xinwei suddenly turned around. Jiang Hao said many things to her along the way and she didn't respond to him. But now, just for this sentence, she wanted to say: "It's not that I refuse to live at home because I'm in a bad mood.
It's because there are photos of Xiao Tianai everywhere in your room at home. The Xiao Tianai you remember is looking at me with eyes open and laughing at me from every corner, and I can't stand it!"
Jiang Hao looked at her quietly. For a moment, he really didn't know what to say. It was his fault. If he married her, he would be destined to fail her.
He stepped forward to hug her, but she took two steps back and said, "Don't touch me. I don't appreciate this kind of compassionate hug."
But Jiang Hao stepped forward, pressed the back of her head and hugged her tightly. She struggled and he hugged her tighter.
She beat him, crying and shouting: "Jiang Hao, you bastard, I thought you were cold-blooded, but it turned out that you were not. It was you who gave all your heart to others. Why can't you love me? Why... I tell you, today
All the grievances and pains you have caused me are just because I love you. If I don’t love you anymore, I don’t care who you end up with, I don’t care!”
She took a breath and continued: "Don't you love her? If we divorce, it will be over if you marry her. I will help you. But Jiang Hao, you are so selfish. For work and future, you have to trap me for the rest of your life. You usually
What's the use of coaxing and doting on me? Have you ever thought about my feelings? I finally got over the betrayal of Ji Xiaohai and Sun Rongxuan. I finally mustered up the courage and learned to love you, but what about you? How can you
If you can do this, why can't you love me? If you love me, you will die!"
Jiang Hao just held her in his arms, letting her hit, scold, and vent her words. Every word she said struck a chord in his heart.
"No, I don't want to trap you forever, I care about your feelings."
"Then we get a divorce and you let me go."
"..." Jiang Hao lost his words and couldn't answer. He had never thought about divorce, not in his heart.
"Then forget about Xiao Tianai. If you love me well, I will give birth to a child for you and we will live a good life."
Jiang Hao couldn't answer either. He couldn't measure the weight of these two women in his heart. When it came to relationships, he didn't have that high emotional intelligence.
That night, Qiao Xinwei cried in his arms for a long time, and he knew that he had hurt her deeply.
When they woke up the next day, everything was over and everything was a new beginning. They went to work as usual.
Qiao Xinwei was still sore all over and her walking style was awkward. Her colleague Xiao Mi joked, "Hey, did you exercise too much last night?"
As soon as she said this, many colleagues around her laughed, especially a few male colleagues.
Qiao Xinwei blushed and sat down directly. She didn't know how to explain, fearing that the more she explained, the more confusion she would get.
Unexpectedly, Xu Rijia stood up and said: "Sister Xinwei, are you sore because you ran for too long in the morning? Are your waist and legs particularly sore?"
"Well, yes, I feel like my calf is no longer mine."
Xu Rijia diligently handed over a bottle of massage oil, "Here, try this. It can relieve pain. I sometimes apply this on strains and sprains. It works really well."
"Thank you." Qiao Xinwei was a little embarrassed. He misunderstood her the day before yesterday. It turned out that she was such a warm-hearted person.
"Hey, why hasn't Sister Yunqing come today?"
Qiao Xinwei glanced sideways, yes, Yun Qing was rarely late because she took Chen Jingye's car every day, and Chen Jingye had to leave early because his workplace was far away. Yunqing was the only one who arrived early and was not late. But today
, it’s been ten minutes since work time, and Yun Qing hasn’t come yet.
She took out her mobile phone and dialed Yunqing's number. The call was connected, but no one answered. It was really worrying.
Ruan Bin walked out of the office, "Mr. Ruan, do you have Chen Jingye's number? I can't contact Yunqing. Why don't you call Chen Jingye and ask?"
