Met You in the Most Beautiful Years [200] After all, I am still your father
When Ye Hehuan met Yao Lie at Lao Liang's house, Ye Hehuan's state of mind at that time seemed to return to the scene when he met Zhao Xun at Han's house six years ago.
The difference is that Yu Zhongxiao is sitting next to her now.
"Oh, why don't you say anything, so quiet..."
Yao Lie was still smiling when he walked to the door of the restaurant. When he caught sight of Ye Hehuan from the corner of his eye, he suddenly couldn't stop laughing.
In fact, when he came in just now, he noticed a woman next to Yu Zhongxiao. In addition to being surprised, he was also curious. After all, Yu Zhongxiao had been single in the past few years. Yao Lie felt like "the second brother is enlightened", so he walked over and saw her.
But it was Ye Hehuanliu.
Even though they hadn't seen each other for several years, Yao Lie still recognized each other at a glance.
One reason is that Ye Hehuan is beautiful, and another reason is that his wife is their best friend when they were studying. Speaking of it, Ye Hehuan can be regarded as half of their matchmaker.
so now--
Yao Lie saw the two of them sitting side by side and replayed in his mind the words that his precious son had been murmuring recently - "I must have opened it the wrong way."
Or is this actually a family dinner?
But the others brought their wives and girlfriends. Even if they really wanted to bring their juniors to dinner, it seemed that it was not Ye Hehuan's turn to accompany him.
It was in such a tangled mood that Yao Lie was pulled to the table by Lao Liang.
"How is your son?"
Hearing Lao Liang's question, Yao Lie stopped looking at Ye Hehuan and laughed loudly, "My wife likes to make a fuss. She has already gone home with her child in her arms."
After saying that, Yao Lie looked at Yu Zhongxiao and called him second brother respectfully.
Yu Zhongxiao nodded and said a few words of concern for Yao Lie's son like Lao Liang. Suddenly, he heard Ye Hehuan coughing quietly next to him, as if he was choked by something. He lowered his head and asked in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "What's the matter?
?”
Ye Hehuan's face was slightly red. She covered her mouth and coughed lightly. She waited until the situation eased slightly before explaining: "A piece of rice accidentally entered the trachea. It's okay. It has come out."
A glass of water was handed to her hand.
Yu Zhongxiao whispered: "Drink water first, then eat."
Ye Hehuan turned to look at him, with warmth in his brows.
Yao Lie happened to be sitting across from the two of them and saw their interaction clearly, especially the look that Ye He gave to Yu Zhongxiao. It was not the respect of a junior for an elder, but the look that a woman would have when looking at the man she likes.
Regarding this discovery, within just a few minutes, Yao Lie's mood was already like a roller coaster, going up and down, undergoing a series of changes. Countless questions lingered in his mind, and finally converged into one point.
.
Second brother and He Huan are together!
Then he became even more confused, how could the second brother be with He Huan? The second brother was He Huan's former uncle...
But Yao Lie didn't dare to ask because the occasion was wrong, so he could only suppress the turbulent waves in his heart and chat and drink with the people around him as if nothing had happened.
…
The meal lasted until nine o'clock in the evening.
Seeing Yu Zhongxiao and Ye Hehuan preparing to leave, Yao Lie quickly stood up, fearing that he would be left behind: "Second brother, I didn't drive here, so you can give me a lift."
Yu Zhongxiao glanced at the anxious Yao Lie and did not refuse him a ride.
Walking out of the car, Ye Hehuan reached out to Yu Zhongxiao: "You've been drinking, I'll drive."
Yao Lie climbed into the back seat of the car alone, thinking about how to ask his second brother later, when he heard Ye Hehuan say to Yu Zhongxiao while starting the car: "Close your eyes and sit back for a while. I'll call you when I get there."
"
Yu Zhongxiao let out a low hum and really closed his eyes and fell asleep.
Looking at the two people who had a tacit understanding, Yao Lie finally realized that his existence was definitely a big light bulb among light bulbs. Thinking about this, he felt like he was sitting on pins and needles.
While driving, Ye Hehuan glanced at the rearview mirror and took the initiative to talk to Yao Lie: "Brother Yao, is little Yao Wang really okay?"
"The fever subsided after two bottles of intravenous drip." Yao Lie couldn't help but glance at Yu Zhongxiao as he spoke, "Tiantian is taking care of her at home. She didn't call me, so there shouldn't be any further problems."
"I just learned that Tiantian got married. I was quite surprised. What made me even more surprised was that she married you."
When Fan Tiantian was mentioned, Yao Lie's face showed happiness and he touched his neck sheepishly: "I didn't expect it myself. Although Tiantian is usually careless, she is indeed a good girl."
Ye Hehuan smiled, she could see that Yao Lie also really liked Tiantian.
When the car stopped at the intersection of Qingxiang Road and waited for a red light, Yu Zhongxiao opened his eyes. He rubbed his brow. After a moment of rest, his double-lidded eyes became even more profound.
He told Ye Hehuan: "I will send you back to the compound first, and then I will send Yao Lie back."
Before restarting the engine, Ye Hehuan glanced at Yu Zhongxiao with concern from the corner of his eye.
At the dinner table just now, Yu Zhongxiao actually didn't drink much wine, and half the glass was poured on Lao Zhao's face. Seeing that he didn't smell of alcohol, Ye Hehuan also guessed that he had something to talk to Yao Lie alone, so
Without mentioning going back to Qinghe Garden, I turned the car in the direction of the compound at the fork in the road.
If Lao Zhao's words tore a crack in the closed world between her and Yu Zhongxiao and made her more aware of the difficulties they would face in the future, then Yao Lie's appearance meant that her relationship with Yu Zhongxiao was no longer the same.
No longer known.
When she first saw Yao Lie, she was not worried.
But after a brief period of uneasiness, the hanging heart relaxed again.
He is not as uneasy as he was six years ago, perhaps because Yu Zhongxiao has always been by his side.
Hearing Lao Zhao's words, Ye Hehuan was not shaken. When she was wavering, she remembered what Yu Zhongxiao said that night. He said that he did everything carefully and carefully, rather than acting on impulse... Maybe it was deep in his heart.
He is a selfish person, so no matter whether it was six years ago or six years later, she could not really leave him.
——
The car stopped at the side entrance of the compound. Ye Hehuan got out of the car and watched Yu Zhongxiao shift into the driver's seat. She held the edge of the car window and repeatedly said: "Drive safely."
"Go in." Yu Zhongxiao looked at Ye Hehuan standing under the street lamp, his eyes became gentler: "Go to bed early at night."
"Um."
Yu Zhongxiao said in a low voice: "Let's go."
Ye Hehuan retracted her hand, retreated to a safe position, watched the car disappear at the intersection, and stood there for a while before walking into the compound holding the bag on her shoulder.
…
When she was approaching the door of her house, Ye Hehuan saw the black Mercedes-Benz on the roadside. The familiar license plate made her turn her head and look at the Ye family's house with the lights on.
Grandpa hasn't come back from the capital yet, and there are only two people at home, Ye Hehuan and Aunt Fan.
But today, when she was changing into slippers at the entrance, she saw a pair of men's leather shoes.
Going upstairs, passing the room where Han Minjing lived before, she found that the door was ajar and light was leaking from inside. Ye Hehuan stopped and turned towards the light source.
This was the first time Ye Hehuan saw Ye Zanwen after returning to City B.
He was still dressed as he was in the company, a white shirt and black trousers. A floor lamp was turned on in the room. The light was not very bright, and a dim halo fell on his shoulders. Compared with six years ago, although he was still the same
A mature and steady businessman, but the white hair on his temples revealed a message - Ye Zanwen is also getting older.
And her memory of Han Minjing has been fixed on six years ago, beautiful, noble, pale, but thin.
Sensing someone at the door, Ye Zanwen turned his head and looked over there——
When he saw Ye Hehuan standing by the door, he closed the dresser drawer calmly, and his eyes fell on her handbag: "Just came back?"
Ye Hehuan ignored it and turned around and walked to his room.
Just two steps away, Ye Zanwen's voice sounded behind him: "Wait a minute, I have something to tell you."
"..." Ye Hehuan turned around.
Ye Zanwen looked at the face that portraited him, but he couldn't feel any respect and love for his father from her, but he finally said: "The day after tomorrow is your mother's anniversary. I will pick you up in the morning. You just came back this year.
You should go and pay homage to her."
"Everyone is dead, what's the point of doing all this?" Ye Hehuan said lightly: "Nothing else, I'm going back to my room."
"Your mother passed away because of you. Are you so reluctant to even visit her once?"
"I can go see her, but definitely not with you."
The veins on Ye Zanwen's forehead loomed. Of course he understood what Ye Hehuan meant. He was not a good husband, nor a qualified father. Staring at those almost indifferent eyes, what he felt in his heart was that he had often had these problems in the past few years.
The helplessness and loneliness.
Han Minjing passed away suddenly. Instead of feeling happy, it felt like a piece of flesh had been cut out of his heart, and he has never been able to recover.
"Are you going to keep having this attitude towards me?"
Ye Zanwen looked at her, not as angry as he had been a few years ago: "In the end, I am still your father."

PS: Supplement: Jiang Hui didn't come because she had something to do, and she called later. Although Jiang Hui will mention it later when she appears, I'm afraid if I don't explain it, some friends who pay attention to small details will take this point to themselves.
