Xue Ling shook his head: "How can there be so much temporary time? Ah Fang, your brother is already fifty years old, do you know? We are no longer young."
Cheng Tianfang smiled bitterly: "...I just want to have a good time with Xiaohan, watch her grow up, watch her have a successful career and have a happy marriage. Then I will be satisfied."
"But the child will have her own family and her own life in the future." Xue Ling advised: "You must also have your own life."
Cheng Tianfang's eyes turned red for a moment and he whispered: "Sister-in-law, I have led a terrible life. I... don't dare to try again. I let down my family and friends, and I indirectly killed my father..."
"It's all over." Xue Ling interrupted her and said warmly: "Time can heal some scars. You and mom are mother and daughter, and blood is thicker than water. We still regard you as our relatives."
Cheng Tianfang shook his head: "But my mother and eldest brother have never forgiven me... I can't even handle the relationship with my closest relatives. I don't dare to harm other people."
"You can't say that." Xue Ling whispered: "You can't give up the right to pursue a stable life just because of these. You are not old yet, so you don't understand the discomfort of the elderly suffering from illness, let alone
The Dharma body knows the pain of loneliness. I advise you to find a companion while you are still young. At least when you are old, there will be one more person who cares about each other, can talk to you, and can be a crutch."
Cheng Tianfang gave a sad smile: "Sister-in-law, you don't have to wait until later... I have always applied for overtime work in the past two years. On weekends, I am accompanied by Xiaohan, and there are voices and laughter at home. But at other times I am alone...
Many times I turn on the TV, hoping to have more sound and not seem too deserted. If I could stay in the unit and work overtime, I would rather stay in the unit. There is no shortage of people in the TV station, and there are busy colleagues coming and going.
In such an environment, I sometimes feel at ease."
"Then you should find a companion." Xue Ling reminded.
Cheng Tianfang sighed softly: "Sister-in-law, it's not that easy."
Xue Ling couldn't help but asked: "Are you... waiting for A Heng?"
"...No." Cheng Tianfang smiled bitterly: "What qualifications do I have to beg to get back together with him? I just never thought about looking for him. I don't have the intention. Apart from Xiaohan, the only thing left in my world is work."
Xue Ling sighed, but didn't want to hide it from her.
"Do you know that A Heng already has a girlfriend?"
Cheng Tianfang was slightly stunned and gave a bitter smile.
"...I don't know. But sooner or later, I'm not surprised. He is such a good person, even if he is older, he has money, a house and a career, and a lot of young girls like him."
Xue Ling shook his head: "No, the other party is about the same age as you. She is a divorced mother with a child, who is a little older than Xiaohan. She is a lawyer, very capable, and owns her own law firm. Moreover,
You know her."
Cheng Tianfang asked in surprise: "Lawyer He?"
"Yeah." Xue Ling explained: "She is responsible for handling the legal affairs of our group and has a lot of contact with me and A Heng. Maybe it is because we have many opportunities to get along with each other. We are both single parents and there are many topics to talk about, so we slowly come to
Together. Probably a few months ago, they started dating. Maybe the relationship is not stable yet, so the two haven't planned to make it public yet."
Cheng Tianfang's eyes were red and she whispered: "...it's good, they match each other very well."
"We may not be able to be together." Xue Ling told the truth: "A Heng talked to me and said that the two of them did not feel in love. It may be that they are both older and have lost any passion in life.
, but we have topics to talk about and we feel comfortable getting along, so I want to try to see if we can be together."
For middle-aged men and women like them who have successful careers, it is very important whether they can get along well, especially whether each other's family members can integrate into each other's families.
"A Heng said that what he is most worried about is Xiaohan's reaction. Over the years, he has been single and brought her up, and everything is centered on her. She may have grown up in a single-parent family and is more sensitive than other children around her.
Many. Because of this, unless He Miaomiao is someone he is very sure of, he will not disclose it easily. Of course, if they get along well, they will vaccinate the children in advance to let them have some peace of mind.
Prepare."
Cheng Tianfang nodded: "He is a good father. I know he loves Xiaohan very much. At the same time, I also believe he can handle this matter well."
Xue Ling's eyes moved slightly and advised: "Afang, when Xiaohan goes to your place, you can give her some testing and mental preparation."
The two of them are not yet in their seventies or eighties. If they meet the right person, they may choose to be together.
Regardless of whether she or Xue Heng, Xiaohan will have to face the possibility of her parents reorganizing their family sooner or later. Give the child some mental preparation so that she can better accept it in the future.
Cheng Tianfang agreed and whispered: "Sister-in-law, I will do it."
Xue Ling secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that she had quickly accepted the matter between Xue Heng and Lawyer He from surprise to calmness.
"Afang, you have only lived half of your life at most. Don't give up like this. A Heng told me that he no longer hates you. As the mother of his child, he also hopes that you can live well in the future.
.”
Cheng Tianfang suddenly burst into tears: "...Thank you! Sister-in-law, with his words, I have no regrets. I am so sorry for him...Thank him!"
Xue Ling took out a tissue and gave it to her, then patted her shoulder gently.
"Afang, he has moved on. You should also pick up your mood, adjust your state, and start a new life again."
Cheng Tianfang sniffed and nodded.
"...I'm not in a hurry. After he and Lawyer He settle down and Xiaohan accepts it, I will consider whether to find another one. Sister-in-law, if the other person is a good person, that's fine. If he is a scumbag, then it's better.
Not looking for one. It’s lonely to be alone, but it’s okay to be quiet. If Xiaohan’s family doesn’t want me to get involved too much in the future, I will find a quiet place to retire, and when I get too old, I will go to a nursing home.”
Xue Ling sighed and whispered: "Don't think so for now. If you like family, then reconsider. If you really don't want to, you can come and live with us when you are old."
"...Thank you, sister-in-law!" Cheng Tianfang smiled gratefully and said jokingly: "I think...I am not the kind of person who can live for a long time. I hope that my eldest brother and mother will have forgiven me by then... and I also hope that I will not be too much of a drag.
you."
"What are you talking about?" Xue Ling looked at her with an angry look and looked at the sky: "It's getting late. You should go back early. I have to buy gifts quickly. The dinner will start at about half past seven."
"Yes." Cheng Tianfang nodded: "Sister-in-law, please contact me when you have time... Remember to send me a photo of your mother. By the way, there are also family photos."
