But not long after, she called me. After hesitating for a moment, I answered the call. Her voice came from the phone immediately, "You, how do you know?"
I said coldly: "Do you think there is anything in this world that can not be known to others for a long time?"
She was silent for a moment and then said: "Okay, let's meet. Tell me, where?"
I said: "I just sent Dong Jie back to the hospital ward, and now I'm driving. Tell me, where? I'll be right over."
After thinking for a while, she said: "Go to the Academy of Fine Arts. It's in my old dormitory. That place is still my studio now."
After I agreed, I immediately turned around and drove in the direction of the Academy of Fine Arts.
When I arrived under her studio in the Academy of Fine Arts, I found a white BMW sedan parked there. It looked like I had just bought the car not long ago, because it looked brand new, judging from the paint on the car.
You can see this.
It should be Wu Yaru's car. I am sure of it.
After going up, I found that the door of her studio was open, and then I saw her inside. Now I was even more sure that the brand new BMW car below belonged to her.
Zhong Feng's restaurant was where Wu Yaru's money probably came from. I immediately thought of this.
I still knocked on the open door, but she had already seen me. At this time, she asked me coldly: "Why are you knocking on the door? Didn't you see me inside?"
I smiled lightly and said, "You have a very bad temper today. If I just come in without knocking on the door, you might say that I don't even have the basic qualities."
She immediately laughed and said, "I will definitely say that."
Her smile immediately eased the tense atmosphere between us. After I entered, I took a look at her and her studio. At this moment, I suddenly had a dream-like feeling in my heart: We were also in the same place back then.
This was the first time we met, and the first time she and I also happened in this place. Now, everything here has not changed, it is still an empty room, and it is still the simple and lonely big bed at the other end of the room, empty
There are several picture frames placed in my room. There are figures and scenery in the pictures. I still can't understand whether they are good or bad. There is a large picture frame against the wall in front, and there is
An unfinished painting. It should be a portrait of a character. Only the minimum outline has been completed. However, I feel that the eyes on the painting seem familiar, but I don’t know where I have seen them. I am sure.
It's not Lin Yi's.
Yes, everything here is still the same, including all the furnishings and the level of chaos inside.
But she changed. I found that the skin on her face had become looser, and the corners of her eyes, mouth, and muscles on both sides of her face were slightly downward. Moreover, the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes became very obvious.
Especially the moment she smiled at me just now.
I couldn't help but sigh in my heart: Time is so cruel to women. I didn't expect that we hadn't seen each other for nearly a year, but she had already become like this.
When I saw her for the first time, I immediately felt that she was disgusting, but at this moment, I suddenly felt that she was a little pitiful.
She saw me looking at the unfinished painting, so she asked me: "Can you see it? Who am I painting?"
I shook my head, "I don't know."
But she continued to ask me: "Don't you feel familiar with this painting?"
I nodded, "I think these eyes are a bit familiar. Are you planning to draw a portrait of the chairman?"
She was stunned for a moment, then laughed, "A portrait of the chairman? You can imagine it! Haha! Let me tell you, the eyes I drew are yours!"
I was stunned for a moment, and then I was surprised, "Why did you draw me?"
She said: "Who said I painted you? I said the eyes I painted and the look in these eyes are yours. Recently I have been thinking that I want to bring together some of the characteristics of everyone I am familiar with.
Let's get together and draw a portrait. I think such a painting must be very interesting. Don't you think so?"
I shook my head, "You know, I don't understand such things. Let's not talk about this anymore, let's just talk about things."
She said: "Okay." Then she went to the bedside, took out a bottle of mineral water from a cardboard box there and threw it at me, "I don't have tea or boiling water here, so just drink this.
.By the way, I don’t have a stool here now. If you want to sit, just sit on the bed or the ground.”
I reached out to catch the mineral water she threw over, then opened it and took a sip. I was really thirsty. Then I said, "Just stand and talk. You tell me first, how will you really deal with Dong Jie from now on?"
Don’t you want to take care of it?”
She shook her head slightly and said: "How can I control it? She is mentally ill now, how can I control it? By the way, how do you know that she is not the biological daughter of her current father?"
But I immediately asked her back: "So, you have actually known about this for a long time, right?"
She said calmly: "She is the child of Lin Yi and my sister. This is not a secret in our family. My brother-in-law has a congenital defect. He only has one testicle, so he has no fertility."
Her indifferent tone made me feel a little strange, and even though Lin Yi had told me everything that had happened to them, I still felt a little curious at the moment of birth. No, to be precise, I didn't completely believe Lin Yi's words.
Then I asked her: "As far as I know, Lin Yu was in a relationship with you before. How come he has a child with your sister?"
But she asked me back: "Don't you know everything?"
I didn't want to tell her the truth, "I don't know anything. I only know that Dong Jie is not her father's biological daughter. This is what Dong Jie told me today."
She looked at me with a frosty look on her face, "You're lying! Dong Jie still doesn't know about this!"
I immediately felt stupid, because how could I deceive her with such a lie? I immediately asked her: "Then how do you think I know about this?"
She said coldly: "How do I know? Feng Xiao, do you think it's interesting for the two of us to go around in circles on this matter? Tell me, has Lin Yi recently discovered that Dong Jie is his biological daughter? So he
Just told you?"
I had to nod, "That's right."
She said calmly: "I knew that Lin Yi would know about this matter sooner or later. He didn't know it before, but it was just that he never cared about my sister. Maybe it was because his conscience discovered it recently, so he knew it
this matter."
I immediately asked her: "Can you tell me? What happened to the three of you before?"
But she asked me again, "Didn't Lin Yi tell you?"
I nodded, "He told me. But I don't know if what he said is true."
She asked me: "What did he say?"
So I briefly told what Lin Yi told me.
After hearing this, she laughed suddenly, "The story he made up is very good. Haha!"
I looked at her in shock, "Isn't this the truth of the matter?"
She was still laughing, "That's right. He is right. Anyone would be like him. Of course it is not convenient to talk about the scandalous things a person did when his reputation was not so prominent. He
He also believed that I would not tell what really happened that year, so I made up such a story. But his story is basically the same. Anyway, he had a relationship with my sister, and then Dong Jie happened. It’s just that he had a relationship with my sister.
At that time, he set up a trap himself, and his purpose was to get rid of me. My sister had never had children at that time, so she did not make any announcement after that incident, and later she became even more reluctant to make any announcement after having a child."
I seemed to understand the truth of what happened between them back then. Although it was still a little vague, I didn't want to ask too much. At this time, I suddenly thought of Dong Jie's current situation, and the feeling in my heart
Anger suddenly rose again.
Then I asked her coldly: "So you vented your hatred for Lin Yi on his children, right? Then you treated Dong Jie in that way, so that she became what she is now.
Situation, isn’t it?!”
She said loudly: "No matter what, Dong Jie is my biological niece. She is my sister's child. Dong Jie has followed me since she graduated from high school. I have paid so much for her and spent so much on her."
time and money, when have I ever wronged her?"
I still said coldly: "Really? You hit her again and again, and even insulted her with vicious words. Is this how you treat her unfairly? Have you ever thought about it? Is it true that Dong Jie has become like this?
Isn't it your responsibility? You are a university teacher and you should have learned some psychology knowledge. I don't believe you have no awareness of the mistakes you have made!"
She said loudly again: "I hate her for not living up to expectations! She is like this because her parents have been quarreling for a long time, and her father often beat and scolded their mother and daughter! What does it have to do with me?!"
I couldn't help but sigh, "Ya Ru, I don't want to argue with you about this matter anymore, because it's over. I can only say one thing: Dong Jie's current problem certainly has the factors you mentioned, and they may be the main factors.
Because a person's childhood experience has a great impact on his life. But I believe that you actually know very well that you should not have done some things in the past. Yes, I believe that you have a kind of affection for Dong Jie in your heart, but
Ask yourself and think about it, did you really not vent your inner anger on Dong Jie because of Lin Yi? Forget it, let’s not talk about this anymore, what I want to say to you now is
, Dong Jie is your biological niece, if you don’t care about her, it’s okay, Lin Yi will take care of it. Now that he knows about this matter, I am worried that he will be angry with you because of Dong Jie’s current situation. This is
The fundamental reason why I came to see you today. Well, my words can only go so far, you can make up your own mind."
Then I left. When I walked out of her studio, I heard her calling me, but I ignored her and went straight downstairs to drive away.
After going downstairs, I saw the white BMW car again, and I couldn't help but sigh: Although Wu Yaru now has her own family and a lot of money, what's the point of her life?
The restaurant that Zhong Feng is running now was once owned by Lin Yi for Wu Yaru. I believe there may be a lot of entanglements in it, and maybe there are other unknown stories between Wu Yaru and Lin Yi, but that's not me
Things that I should be concerned about, and I don’t want to know.
Now, I just hope that Dong Jie's future will get better, and that Dong Jie's today will become the past forever.
Now, I have finished what I should do and what I should say. I don’t want to worry about the rest.
But then I thought of the promise I made to Dong Jie, and a bitterness and guilt suddenly rose in my heart: Dong Jie, I'm sorry, it's not that I don't mean what I say, but I don't want to interfere with your affairs.
There are too many inside.
Now, I can only hope in my heart that Wu Yaru can consciencely discover all the mistakes she has made in the past. It is still too late for her to correct and make up for it. It would be best if she could take the initiative to talk to Lin Yi.
That is no longer my business. All I can hope for in my heart is: hope.
When I got home, my mother immediately pulled me aside and asked me in a low voice: "Is this little Ruan who came today really not your girlfriend?"
I was suddenly a little confused, "Mom, didn't I tell you already?"
She sighed and said: "This woman is so beautiful, and her daughter is also very well-behaved. If you get married, wouldn't it happen that you would have a son and a daughter? What a great thing? I observed her carefully today,
I think this woman is very polite and polite, and she especially likes our Yuanyuan family. Laugh, don’t you think about her at all?”
I couldn't laugh or cry immediately, and at the same time I felt a little worried in my heart, "Mom, you're not going to test her, are you?"
Mother hurriedly said: "That's not true. Didn't you remind me a long time ago? How could I just ask people randomly? However, I really think she is very good. You are already quite old. When your father was alive,
One of the few wishes I told you was about your marriage, and you promised your father? Why are you not in a hurry now? "
At this point, my mother began to cry.
I hurriedly said: "Mom, I will definitely find one as soon as possible. But this little Ruan can't do it because I don't have any feelings for her. Yes, her daughter is very well-behaved, but her daughter is not your biological child.
Granddaughter? From now on, if I find someone who can bear children for me, wouldn’t it be better to let her give you a biological granddaughter?"
My mother was immediately overjoyed, "Really?"
I nodded, "Really!"
My mother immediately laughed. I couldn't help but smile bitterly in my heart: This old man is like a child sometimes and needs to be coaxed with lies.
However, I also felt an invisible pressure in my heart: I managed to get over it today, but what will I do in the future?
I found that my mother is really anxious about my affairs now, because now whenever she sees a beautiful girl with whom I have a good relationship, she will fall in love with me.
I thought about it for a long time when I got home, and finally called Ning Xiangru, "Xiangru, if Dong Jie is discharged from the hospital soon, she should come to work at your place first, is that okay?"
But what I didn't expect was that she immediately refused. She said, "Feng Xiao, have you ever thought about it? Now that Dong Jie has been confirmed to be Lin Yi's biological daughter, do I still dare to accept her?"
I didn't understand what she meant for a while, "Aren't you just trying to do something for Lin Yi?"
She said: "I have a principle in everything I do, and that is first to see how big the risk is. Do you understand what I mean?"
