She originally thought that she was hiding in a safe haven when she returned home, but the facts told her that there was a difference between getting married and not getting married, especially in a special reorganized family like theirs. Even if a married daughter is divorced, she is no longer in her own family.
people.
If her mother could be more forceful and say something to her, even if it was to comfort her, then she would be happy in her heart. Unfortunately, things were not going well, and her mother was too weak. With such a personality, she could not blame her mother for anything.
.
The weather is nice today. Qiao Xinwei is sitting on the terrace on the second floor of the restaurant, basking in the sun, listening to music, sipping a drink, and watching the flow of people on the street. It has a unique flavor.
She used to yearn for this kind of leisurely and bourgeois life, but now that she thinks about it, only people who have nothing to do can have this kind of leisurely life.
A taxi stopped at the door of the restaurant, and Arnold rushed over. "Arnold." Qiao Xinwei waved her hand downwards, indicating to Arnold that she was upstairs.
After a while, Arnold came up and said, "The road is a bit jammed. Have you been waiting for a long time?"
"Anyway, I'm fine now. I came early and ordered coffee for you."
"Thank you, ha, why are you just drinking water?"
"Well, suddenly I'm not interested in anything else."
Arnold sat opposite her and looked at her carefully, "Didn't you go back to your parents' house to recuperate? Why are you still looking so bad? Xinwei, why don't I ask for a day off to go out with you to relax?"
Jiang Hao contacted her privately and asked her if she would like to accompany Xinwei on a study tour abroad. He would be responsible for all expenses and would also be responsible for finding a job after returning. She would definitely be happy with such a good thing.
Qiao Xinwei shook her head, "Don't worry about me, you still have to work."
"Xinwei, to be honest, I think Jiang Hao has you in his heart. As a man, there are times when he makes mistakes on impulse. Haha, don't think I'm speaking for him. Of course, cheating is unforgivable. I
I just think it’s too cheap for Jiang Hao for you to clean up and leave the house like this. Why not fight for something while he feels guilty about you now?”
Qiao Xinwei looked at Arnold suspiciously, "Did Jiang Hao tell you something?"
Arnold smiled, hesitated for a long time, and then said: "Let me tell you the truth, Jiang Hao asked me to quit my job to accompany you abroad, and he paid for the expenses. If he didn't have you in his heart, he wouldn't have spent so much money on divorce.
Think more about you."
"What else did he say?"
"That's all. He mentioned this to me before you got divorced, but I scolded him angrily at that time. Yesterday at noon, he came to my work to find me and talked about it very seriously. He hoped that I would consider it.
." Arnold took Qiao Xinwei's hand and said, "Xinwei, I am definitely on your side, but this Jiang Hao, I really have nothing to say to him, compared to those scumbags who turn their backs and refuse to recognize others.
,Jiang Hao is really a good man."
Qiao Xinwei smiled bitterly. The mission Jiang Hao was performing was a high-level secret. She could not tell anyone around her the whole truth. Otherwise, if it spread, it would threaten Jiang Hao's life. Therefore, she could not tell anyone.
She couldn't say this.
Arnold sighed and said, "I know you are dead set on him now and it will be useless no matter what he does, so I didn't agree to him. Everything depends on your opinion."
Qiao Xinwei took a sip of water and said calmly: "Arnold, I understand what you mean, but... I don't want to have any interaction with him at all, do you understand?"
Arnold nodded, "Understood?? Oh, why is God so unsatisfactory?"
"Why, have you encountered something unpleasant?"
Arnold was drinking coffee, unable to speak for a while, and stirred with a small spoon. Qiao Xinwei looked at her, kept talking about his own things, and ignored her. Looking at her now, all the entanglements and conflicts were written on her face.
"Arnold, is something really wrong with you? Don't hide it from me. What's wrong?"
Arnold hesitated for a long time and said: "That?? That?? My aunt is delayed by two weeks this month. She will take a test with two bars in the morning."
"What?" Qiao Xinwei was shocked, "Whose child?"
Arnold flipped his hair irritably and said: "Last month at the company dinner, I drank too much and had sex with a male colleague. He has a wife and a daughter, so he couldn't be responsible for me. We agreed to forget about it afterwards.
But I didn’t expect that I would be tricked. I definitely can’t have this child.”
"Then does he know?"
"I don't know. I didn't plan to tell him. He has been transferred to another province. The whole family has gone there. I don't want to cause trouble. I want to go to the hospital one day to get cleaned up."
Qiao Xinwei instinctively touched her lower abdomen. When Arnold said the words "cleaned up", she was so uneasy that she felt a pain in her lower abdomen. She took two deep breaths and tried to relax herself.
She had already tasted the feeling of separation once, and it was a pain that she would never forget for the rest of her life.
"Arnold, you are so confused. You were never like this before."
Arnold smiled disdainfully, "Before? The former Liu Jinnuo was already dead. When Mao Libo spent my money to sleep with other women wearing the underwear I bought, he was already dead. I was also dead that day.
Impulsive, everyone has physiological needs, both men and women. It is impossible for me to destroy his family, and it is even less possible for him to abandon his wife and daughter for me. Therefore, it is wise for me to go to the hospital to get it done as soon as possible.
Lift."
Qiao Xinwei is very helpless. Not everyone's life is smooth sailing. Others' seemingly simple and ordinary lives may also have experiences that you didn't expect.
"Do you have anything going on this afternoon?" Arnold suddenly asked, "If nothing happens, please accompany me to the hospital. I don't want to delay it any longer. It's not a major surgery anyway."
Qiao Xinwei looked at her blankly and said, "I'll accompany you."
"Well, thanks."
In the afternoon, in the hospital, in the gynecology department, Arnold had already gone in, and Qiao Xinwei sat quietly outside waiting. There were many people in the big hospital, and there were many people sitting next to them. Some were accompanied by their boyfriends, some were accompanied by little sisters, and some
Come alone.
The little girl who went in not long ago came out in less than half an hour, her face sallow and slightly haggard. After all, this is a surgery that harms the body.
"It's pretty fast. How are you? Does it hurt?" A young man came up to help her.
The little girl frowned and complained: "Whether it hurts or not, it's all your fault."
"Blame me, blame me, be careful next time, do you want to sit for a while before leaving?"
The little girl didn't want to stay here for a moment, "I've been lying in there for a while, let's go, I want to go home."
The two walked away slowly. Qiao Xinwei looked at their backs for a long time. They looked like a young couple who should still be in school. I wonder if they will get married in the future. I wonder if this little girl will get married in the future.
Will regret it.
The flowery age, the best years, must be remembered with this kind of pain.
She had never thought about abortion. Even when she shouted to Jiang Hao that she would not have this child, she had never thought about abortion. This was very contradictory, but when she stood at the door of the small gynecological operating room,
She was even more convinced of this matter, she accepted her fate, she was timid, she couldn't bear it, it was a life.
One day, there will be a person who is related to you by blood. You are willing to give everything for him without reservation, without thinking of anything in return. All you want is for him to grow up safely, and all you want is for him to sweetly call you "Mom".
.
That is such a happy thing, just thinking about it makes me laugh from the bottom of my heart.
Thinking of this, the tip of her nose became sour, and tears almost fell down, and they kept rolling in her eyes. If Jiang Hao was not a soldier, if Jiang Hao did not have such a heavy sense of mission, or if he had any selfish intentions for his little family,
If you think about it, they wouldn't have reached this point today.
After a while, Arnold came out, looking very haggard as well. She quickly ran over to help him, "Are you okay?"
Arnold said angrily: "Who said there is no pain or feeling? I was deceived by the advertisement. Look, the pain made me sweat all over my head."
Qiao Xinwei took a tissue to wipe her sweat, sucked it up, and wet it all over, "Does the doctor say you can leave? Can you leave like this?"
"The doctor didn't care about anyone after we got off the operating table. In their eyes, this was just a small operation involving cutting off a piece of flesh. There was a little girl who was having a medical abortion crying in pain. I didn't like the noise, so I came out."
Suddenly, a bill fell out. Arnold didn't know it, stepped on it and walked over.
"Hey, you dropped something."
"The surgical drape will fall off if you drop it. You can't show it off everywhere. When you take it home, you tear it up and throw it in the trash."
Qiao Xinwei bent down and picked it up. Seeing that Arnold didn't look back impatiently, she quickly stuffed it into her bag, "Slow down, I'll help you walk?" Arnold, what do you want to eat tonight?
Let’s do it for you.”
Arnold forced a smile and said, "I want to take Maoxuewang, is that okay?"
"?? Let's be serious, this is a surgery after all, it will hurt your body, so you have to sit still while you are in confinement."
"I know, I took three days off from the company. Isn't your brother getting married tomorrow? You must have a lot of things to do at home. You should go back early without accompanying me."
Qiao Xinwei remained silent and didn't answer. She had a lot of reservations about Arnold. She didn't want Arnold to become the target of Jiang Hao's harassment in the future.
"What's wrong?" Arnold asked.
"It's nothing. Let's go. If it gets later, it will be the rush hour after get off work."
——
Qiao Xinwei stayed downstairs for a long time. She didn't go upstairs until Jing Shang called her and asked her to go home for dinner.
As soon as she entered the house, the atmosphere at home was pretty good. Yang Jiajia didn't mention the breakup. Tomorrow's wedding will be held as usual. However, when she saw Jing Jicheng, she became cautious as soon as he saw her. This was obvious and made her most uncomfortable.
of.
"Dad, brother, do you need my help?"
Before Jing Shang could speak, Jing Zhicheng said: "There's nothing to do anymore. Everything is ready. Let's all have a good rest tonight. Tomorrow will be very tiring. By the way, Xinwei, don't lock the door tomorrow. We'll lock the door in the morning."
Let’s move to the hotel for sweets and cigarettes.”
"Dad, I have never been in the habit of locking the door."
Jing Jicheng nodded and said, "Oh, let's eat."
Qiao Xinwei couldn't describe her specific feelings. She felt a lot confused and embarrassed.
