Before he reached the living room, his old mother came over with anxious steps and told him that her eldest son suddenly came home today and looked very ugly.
"I almost fainted, but the security guard helped me carry her into the room. But Ling Ling said it was okay and that she would be fine after a nap."
Cheng Tianyuan raised his eyebrows and said: "Lingling said it's okay, then it should be okay."
But the old mother lowered her voice and explained mysteriously: "Ran Ran cried... His eyes were red. It wasn't just as simple as staying up late. He had obviously cried."
Cheng Tianyuan was secretly surprised.
The boy never sheds tears easily, and the eldest son has not cried since he was ten years old.
I thought something serious must have happened, otherwise how could I cry.
Despite this thought, he still did not forget to comfort his old mother.
"It's probably nothing. He's probably about to graduate, and he can't bear to leave his classmates who have studied with him for many years. If he wants to sleep, let him sleep. I'll go see him later."
During lunch, everyone asked if they wanted to wait until Ranran got up to eat.
"No need." Xue Ling said: "He is sleeping soundly! He already had a bowl of Huaishan paste earlier, so he won't be hungry."
After everyone heard this, they all picked up their chopsticks.
Cheng Tianyuan had a meeting to hold in the afternoon, so he hurried out after eating.
Xue Ling quietly went to her eldest son after taking a nap, and found that his curtains were tightly drawn and the door was closed. She thought he might still be sleeping, so she didn't want to disturb him, so she went to the study to read.
In the evening, Cheng Tianyuan came back from get off work.
While changing his clothes, he asked: "Where is the boss? Is he still awake?"
"The room is still closed." Xue Ling replied, "I didn't go in to disturb you."
Cheng Tianyuan frowned and asked, "How long have you been sleeping? No matter how sleepy you are, you should have slept enough, at least eight or nine hours."
"That's almost it." Xue Ling said: "I also plan to dig him out for dinner."
Cheng Tianyuan walked to the bathroom and said warmly: "You go there first, and I will go over and take a look at him later."
"Okay." Xue Ling walked around.
After knocking several times, the door finally opened.
Cheng Huanran was wearing pajamas, his hair was messy and his eyes were sleepy. His face looked better, but he still looked bad and his brows were wrinkled.
He called out "Mom", then walked to the outer balcony and entered the bathroom.
Xue Ling looked at the messy big bed and started to clean it up.
After a while, she poured a glass of warm water in.
"Of course! Come and drink some water!"
Cheng Huanran walked out dejectedly, thanked him in a low voice, drank half the glass.
Xue Ling said: "Wake up, the big kitchen is almost ready for dinner."
"Oh." Cheng Huanran sat on the edge of the bed, looking sad and decadent, and his whole body seemed to be hidden in the shadows.
Xue Ling sighed softly: "What happened? Are you broken in love?"
Since the eldest son entered high school, his grades have been improving by leaps and bounds and he is among the best.
In the past few years, he has been able to receive a scholarship every year, whether at the university level or in postgraduate studies.
Whether he is an intern or a trainee doctor, he is always praised by leaders and mentors.
I haven't graduated yet, the thesis was completed as early as the end of last year, and even the unit has been initially determined.
Xue Huan said that with his level it was more than enough to enter the Imperial People's Hospital, and suggested that he stay in the People's Hospital after graduation and become Uncle Huan's right-hand man in the future.
He has achieved both good results in his studies and career, but the only thing that can make him so decadent and uncomfortable is love.
Cheng Huanran was stunned for a moment and gave a bitter smile.
"Mom, is it that obvious?"
Xue Ling shrugged: "Otherwise? You are about to graduate, and your studies have always been fine. The next employment is also within your grasp, so there is no need to worry about it. Apart from these, do you have anything else?"
Cheng Huanran let out a long sigh and fell down on the quilt.
"Mom... I feel very sad... very sad."
Xue Ling sat next to him and whispered: "In my opinion, your father and I can still be regarded as enlightened parents. Your brothers and your sister who is preparing for the college entrance examination are all free in love.
, my parents never interfered at all."
"I know." Cheng Huanran said in a low voice: "You told us that if we are right, you are welcome to take them home at any time after you are sure. At other times, you will not interfere unless you bring them home."
"Have you been dating your girlfriend for many years?" Xue Ling asked curiously, "What? Is it because of employment issues?"
Cheng Huanran covered his eyes in pain and whispered: "It's been five years...we've been together since the first semester of our junior year. I planned to take her home next month. Mom, I'm ready...for graduation.
I was going to give her a romantic proposal that day. Who knew...who knew it would suddenly come to this point..."
Xue Ling felt sorry for her son's discomfort and couldn't help but ask tentatively: "Is it an employment problem? Or some other problem? If you don't tell us and discuss it carefully with us, we don't know how to help you."
"With her professional level, there is no problem for her to stay and work in the imperial capital." Cheng Huanran whispered: "It's just that her parents want her to return to her hometown to find a job. Not only that, they also want me to find a job there."
What?!
Xue Ling frowned when she heard this and asked, "Where is her hometown? Is it far away?"
"...the capital of a neighboring province." Cheng Huanran answered.
Xue Ling tentatively asked: "Then what does she mean? She has been in the Imperial Capital for so many years, and she should have a lot of affection for the Imperial Capital. She has no problem staying employed, so why not stay in the Imperial Capital? If her parents miss her, you
With so much real estate under her name, she can take her parents to live in the imperial capital in the future."
Cheng Huanran shook his head slowly: "Her parents have said that she is an only child and they don't want her to stay away from home. Their family is financially sound, with a house and a car. They hope that I can take advantage of my graduation to move there to find a job and settle down.
If I refuse, Xiao Qiao... will have no choice but to break up with me."
"What do you mean?" Xue Ling frowned and asked cautiously.
Cheng Huanran buried his head and whispered: "Xiao Qiao said that our family has three brothers and one sister. But she is the only one in her family. There are too few people in the family. She hopes that I... will marry into their family."
Xue Ling rubbed her temples and asked, "You didn't agree? She threatened to break up with you?"
"I'm so confused..." Cheng Huanran choked up: "I love her very much and don't want to lose her at all. She kept persuading me to go back with her. She also said that as long as I nodded, we would get the certificate immediately. Waiting for work
After settling down, we will have a drink there at the end of the year...I am in a dilemma, I don’t know what to do. She is angry with me and has ignored me for several days..."
Xue Ling frowned and shook his head: "Is there really no room for it? Can't it be solved in other ways? It has to be this way? Of course, you should know in your heart that your father cannot agree."
"Mom, can you... help me?" Cheng Huanran asked tentatively.
"Impossible!" Cheng Tianyuan's voice came from outside the door, with a resolute tone of anger and disdain.
