Over the years, Chu Jingyao and Qin Xue have met from time to time, mainly because of Chengcheng. Because of Chengcheng's existence, no matter how busy Chu Xiangguo is, he has to spend time with his grandson every two or three days. Sometimes
It lasted most of the day, sometimes an hour or two, and almost every time it was Qin Xue who came to pick Chengcheng up. I don't know whether this was deliberately arranged by Chu Xiangguo or whether it was an unintentional move.
No matter what, Chu Jingyao's attitude towards Qin Xue was very cold. She could not forgive the woman who took away her father. When Chu Jingyao was young, she stood in front of the mirror and asked herself more than once,
Is it because I am not pretty and cute enough? Why did my father leave me and my mother to be with another woman and child? This question has been entangled for so many years, but there is still no answer.
Chu Jingyao was silent. What Qin Xue said on the other side was the answer she had always longed for. After a few seconds, Qin Xue said calmly: "There are some things that we can't explain over the phone. Let's talk about it in person?"
"Okay." It was the first time that Chu Jingyao agreed to Qin Xue so simply, and it was also the first time that she let her into the house.
Qin Xue arrived at Villa No. 7 an hour later. This was Chu Jingyao's request. She wanted to wait until the child went to bed before talking to Qin Xue. Chu Jingyao took Qin Xue to a small study room on the second floor and gave her
I took a bottle of imported lemon juice, turned on the silent air conditioner in the study, and drew a layer of blinds.
"The decoration of this study is really nice." Qin Xue praised it after sitting down and looking around.
"Say it." Chu Jingyao said calmly.
"Can't we just chat?" Qin Xue said with a smile.
"What do you want to talk about?" Chu Jingyao smiled secretly at the corner of her mouth and said, "I just want to know the answer."
Qin Xue opened the lemon juice and took a sip. Because the pure natural lemon juice was too sour, she almost shed tears. She slowed down and said with a smile: "This lemon juice is really sour. It must be imported from New Zealand."
Chu Jingyao unscrewed the bottle of sparkling mineral water in front of her and took a sip. She was obviously not in the mood to chat with Qin Xue. Qin Xue smiled awkwardly and said: "Well, since you don't want to talk to me anymore, then
I’ll get right to the point.”
"In the past, I thought Uncle Chu took care of me and my mother because he liked my mother. He is no different from most men who abandon their children, except that he treats me and my mother better."
"Isn't he just that kind of man?" Chu Jingyao said sarcastically with a smile.
"No..." Qin Xue shook her head and said: "I didn't think so after I met Aunt Chu. Aunt Chu is prettier than my mother, both in figure and temperament. More importantly, she replaced Uncle Chu
After giving birth to you, a man would not give up such a woman and choose another woman."
"Ha..." Chu Jingyao laughed mockingly.
Qin Xuedao: "I just know the real reason... The reason why Uncle Chu has been taking care of me for so many years is because when he was on the battlefield, my father took a bullet in his own heart to save him. My father
Zai He entrusted my mother and me to Uncle Chu, so..." Qin Xue stopped talking, she looked at Chu Jingyao with a smile on her face, she hoped she could understand.
Chu Jingyao was silent. Her mind was blank, and her heart was empty. The countless resentful thoughts that she had had all came out at this time, and then they were suppressed, and then they came out again.
She hated Chu Xiangguo. If it weren't for his kindness to Chengcheng, she might have ignored him all her life. Her mother died of depression because of his departure. This is the eternal pain in Chu Jingyao's heart.
, her mother had raised her up alone for so many years, but before that he, Chu Xiangguo, had done nothing.
Chu Xiangguo was not rich at the beginning. In the years when he first retired from the army, he only made money by doing odd jobs on construction sites. At that time, his income was meager. It was already not easy to support Qin Xue and her mother, so he did not have any extra money.
He had no energy to worry about Chu Jingyao's mother and daughter, which made Chu Jingyao feel even more resentful.
The answer is actually that simple. He left just to fulfill his promise and repay his kindness. After being stunned for a few seconds, Chu Jingyao smiled from the corner of her mouth, which was a bit bitter, but also seemed to be relieved. The father who was so unforgivable in the past, this
For a moment, she seemed to have found a reason to forgive him. At the same time, she also felt sorry for Qin Xue. If it were not her father, she would be the one without a father now.
Chu Jingyao looked out the window. In the blurred depths of the stars, she didn't know which one was her mother. After her mother in heaven knew the truth, would she forgive her father?
The moonlight was like a sickle and as cold as spring water in a deep pool. Chu Jingyao sat alone on the balcony, watching Qin Xue drive away downstairs. The lock in her heart that had been in her heart for so many years was slowly disappearing bit by bit.
Melting, when a gust of evening wind blew across her cheeks, she suddenly felt a chill, and then she realized that tears had flowed down at some point.
Holding the phone in her hand, she hesitated for a while before she dialed the familiar but always considered unfamiliar call. The phone rang several times but no one answered. He must have fallen asleep by now. Just when she was about to hang up.
When I picked up the phone, the phone was suddenly answered, and the man's nervous voice came from inside.
"Jingyao, what's the matter?" In Chu Xiangguo's impression, Chu Jingyao should not call him at this time unless something happened.
"It's okay." Chu Jingyao said, her tone sounding blank and weak, like a silent confession.
"Oh?" Chu Xiangguo was very surprised by his daughter's reaction today, and still asked doubtfully: "Jingyao, if you have anything to tell dad, as long as dad is here, even if the sky falls, it won't be able to crush you and Chengcheng."
Chu Jingyao covered her mouth. She couldn't help but burst into tears. Chu Xiangguo, who was on the other end of the phone, saw that his daughter hadn't spoken for a long time. He suddenly became anxious and said, "Jingyao, Jingyao, are you okay? Talk to me.
"
"Dad..." Chu Jingyao choked and said. This choked sob was mixed with countless emotions. It was also the first time in so many years that she called Chu Xiangguo dad. This time, Chu Xiangguo was silent. On the other side of the phone, that
The man who had experienced countless lives and deaths on the battlefield had an expression on his face that trembled with excitement. He had been waiting so hard for this call, and he had been waiting so hard for his daughter.
"Jingyao..." Chu Xiangguo couldn't hide his excitement and said, "You...have you forgiven dad?"
"Why didn't you tell mom the truth in the first place?" Chu Jingyao cried and complained.
"You, you know everything?"
"Why didn't you tell mom?"
"Back then...sigh..." Chu Xiangguo's tone was full of sadness, and he said: "Back then, Brother Qin died because of me. I watched him lying in my arms and died. My heart was extremely sad. How I wished he could
I was the one who died. I was too sad when I left you and your mother, so I didn’t explain it to your mother. When I calmed down later, I wanted to explain it to your mother again, but she had already disappeared from me."
Chu Xiangguo said repentantly: "Jingyao, it's all because of father's fault that you and your mother have been wronged for so many years, especially your mother. She left without having any happiness with me in her life. Dad is sorry for your mother."
.”
"Dad, if Mom knows the truth, she will definitely forgive you." Chu Jingyao said.
"I also hope your mother can forgive me. The people I owe the most in my life are you and your mother." Chu Xiangguo said.
"Dad, don't say that. My mother and I didn't know your difficulties in the past. We owed Qin Xue and Aunt Qin. If Uncle Qin hadn't taken that shot for you on the battlefield, I would never have a father.
Already."
"Jingyao, it's very gratifying that you miss me so much." Chu Xiangguo said, "Dad has always hoped that you and Xiaoxue can get along well and get along like sisters."
"Dad, don't worry, it will happen." Chu Jingyao said.
"Find some time, bring Chengcheng and Lin Kun, and our family will get together to have a good reunion dinner." Chu Xiangguo said happily.
"Dad, isn't the reunion dinner only for the Chinese New Year? It's only a few months now." Chu Jingyao said with a smile.
"Dad has been waiting for one day for how many years. He can't wait any longer. Let's do this. If nothing happens, we will tentatively schedule tomorrow. If your time is convenient, you can bring Chengcheng and Lin Kun."
Chu Jingyao said deliberately: "Just bring Chengcheng, but not Lin Kun. He is not our family."
Chu Xiangguo laughed and said: "Daughter, don't deny it. According to what I know, you are becoming more and more interested in Xiao Lin..."
"Don't say..." Chu Jingyao said shyly.
"Okay, remember to bring Xiao Lin with you tomorrow. I have to get to know this future son-in-law more and see if he is worthy of my Chu Xiangguo's daughter." Chu Xiangguo said narcissistically: "I, Chu Xiangguo,
My daughter has everything she wants. Her figure, appearance, knowledge, and temperament are all unmatched by ordinary girls. Moreover, she is the largest shareholder of my Tianchu Group. If he can marry my daughter, this guy will wait.
Go home and have some fun, haha!"
"Dad, what are you talking about?" Chu Jingyao said coquettishly: "I didn't say I wanted to marry him. He is now a professional nanny. Don't you pay him every month? I can't
I don’t want to have any development with him, he is such a careless man, which is not in line with other people’s tastes.”
"Haha, Jingyao, just be tough in front of dad." Chu Xiangguo laughed and said, "Dad, let me tell you, as far as I know, Lin Kun is a good young man, he is responsible and courageous, and he can't be a fool at all.
It’s nothing, who hasn’t been young yet, your father and I were like that when we were young, but your mother still likes it.”
Speaking of his late wife, Chu Xiangguo's tone became lost and sad again, "It's a pity that your mother passed away early, otherwise I would have bought her a big house, a luxury car, or a plane.
"
"Okay, dad, you don't have to be too sad. Mom knows your thoughts in heaven, and she will definitely be happy."
"Um……"
After chatting for more than an hour, the father and daughter hung up the phone. This was the longest conversation between the two in more than ten years. When Chu Xiangguo and Chu Jingyao were in contact before, the phone calls did not last more than one minute, and the meetings only lasted for more than a minute.
After a few simple greetings, Chu Jingyao remained indifferent no matter what Chu Xiangguo said, including the fact that Chu Xiangguo personally gave Chu Jingyao the largest shareholding certificate of Tianchu Group.
When she saw it, she just glanced at it lightly, and then calmly put it into her bag without any reaction. You must know that it is 69% of the equity of Tianchu Group, worth countless billions, ordinary people
If people were faced with that equity book, they would probably have nervous twitches with excitement, but our beautiful lady Chu was as calm as if she just received a not-so-unusual one hundred yuan note.
That night, Chu Jingyao had a good sleep and had a beautiful dream. In the dream, she returned to her childhood and that sunny day. She saw her parents sitting together and looking at her.
Smiling happily, she stood in a field of colorful flowers, as happy as a blooming sunflower...
