Of course I knew what she was thinking, "It's my father-in-law, Lin Yi."
She looked at me in surprise, "Why is he looking for you now?"
I smiled bitterly and shook my head: "I don't know either. He said he had something very important to discuss with me."
Her expression suddenly became complicated, "You, how will you deal with this relationship with him in the future? Do you have to listen to him forever?"
I think what she said was a bit excessive, "Jiu Mei, you may not know that he is not my ex-wife's biological father, but he has always been very good to me, and he has been extremely helpful to me. He
The relationship between him and me should accurately be that of friends and elders. I think, since he is so anxious to call me over now, there must be something very urgent and important."
She whispered: "I don't mean anything else. But I am very worried now. What if he doesn't agree with me being with you?"
I shook my head and said: "No. After all, this is my private matter, he can't control it, and I don't want him to control my affairs. Don't worry."
She was silent for a while, and then she said softly to me: "Go ahead."
I looked at her, "Then you..."
She said: "I will take a taxi to your hospital and then drive my own car home. Feng Xiao, if you are free today, come and accompany me. I will wait for you."
I couldn't help hugging her, "Yeah. I'll try. But I'm not sure now because I don't know why he came to me so urgently. I'll call you then."
Then, I hailed a taxi for her on the side of the road, and then I went alone to the community where her uncle lived and drove away.
When she left in a taxi, a feeling of reluctance suddenly arose in my heart.
When I drove the car out of the community, it started to rain. The raindrops were so big that they banged on the car window. In all my impressions, I have never seen such big raindrops in winter.
Raindrops.
As a father, I admit that I don’t have that much maternal instinct, so I often forget the fact that I still have a son at his grandmother’s house. Of course, I will occasionally think of my own child, but once I think of myself every time I see Shi Yanni’s
Sometimes there will always be an awkward feeling and I will hesitate to give up the idea of seeing my child.
I don’t know what it is, but I really feel awkward every time I see Shi Yanni, and there is always a sense of alienation and alienation. I once thought that maybe this is because I have always been thinking about her abandoning Chen Yuan.
Because I feel angry. Also, in my impression, Chen Yuan seems not to be very close to her mother.
Of course, there is another reason for this: What if I go see the child? Should I take him home and feed him by myself? Of course it is possible, maybe that can enhance the relationship between me and the child, but
Can I? And will Shi Yanni agree?
One thing I can completely see and feel is that Shi Yanni really likes this child. I can completely understand this: because her life is equivalent to having no children, although Chen Yuan later returned
When I came to her side, she lacked the process of raising a child. What's more, Chen Yuan and I's child is still her grandson. How could she not like it?
Just now, when Lin Yi called me, I immediately thought of my child, so I immediately promised him to go to his home right away. Although there was a factor in my respect for Lin Yi, it also contained my longing for my child.
inside.
When I arrived at Lin Yi's house, I saw the child playing with a colorful rubber ball in the middle of his living room. Shi Yanni was accompanying the child beside her. The two of them were having a great time.
The nanny opened the door. After I entered, I called to my son: "Baby, I'm here. Call me quickly."
When I saw the child for the first time, I was immediately excited. Family affection suddenly emerged spontaneously, and I completely forgot about the awkward feeling when Shi Yanni gave me the car.
However, the child was staring at me with his big eyes. His expression was very cute, but I felt a little ashamed in my heart, because the child's current expression seemed to be asking me: Who are you?
I was a little embarrassed and a little guilty at the same time, "Son, it's me, I'm the father."
Shi Yanni immediately blamed me and said: "Look at you, you haven't seen your child for so long, of course he doesn't know you. Really, you are so irresponsible as a father."
I laughed awkwardly, and then went to pick up the child. The child didn't resist, and he let me hold him in my arms very meekly. I actually felt that I had a flattering emotion towards the child in my heart, "Son, call me
It’s me. I’m dad.”
The child's hand came to touch my face. I immediately felt that his hand was soft and felt very comfortable when touching my face. I couldn't help but kiss the child's face. The child began to struggle, and he actually
Sprayed some spit on my face!
I immediately became angry and spanked the child. In fact, my force was not too strong, but the child immediately started crying.
Shi Yanni was very angry at the side and snatched the child from my hand, "Feng Xiao, what are you doing? Why do you hit the child as soon as you see him?"
I was still a little angry, "Why is this kid spitting on my face?! He's like this at such a young age. He should be beaten."
Shi Yanni said angrily: "How old is he? It's not like you kissed his face just now and hurt him. Do you think you know everything about children? Really, you just don't care about your children, so how could you do it right away?
Beating him? That's too much!"
At this time, Lin Yi came out. He frowned and looked at us and said, "What's going on? What's the fuss about?"
Shi Yanni said angrily: "Ask him. Really, he beats the child as soon as he comes!"
I stood there awkwardly, suddenly at a loss. At the same time, I was also angry in my heart: I will always be so humble in this place.
Lin Yi looked at me and said in a calm voice: "Come in."
I took the opportunity to leave Shi Yanni and the child, and then followed Lin Yi to the study.
"Sit down." Lin Yi pointed to one of the wicker chairs, "How are you? How are you doing lately?"
I was still a little embarrassed, so I nodded and said, "Well, it went relatively smoothly."
He nodded slightly, "That's good. How are the arrangements for the Spring Festival?"
I replied: "I just arrived at my new unit and I have to be on duty during the Spring Festival. By the way, my parents are also coming to the provincial capital."
A smile appeared on his face, "Okay, then I'll treat them to a meal."
I said, "Yeah." But I was wondering in my heart: Didn't he say there was something urgent? Why did he always ask me about such trivial things? So I couldn't help but ask him, "What do you want from me?"
"
He looked at me, and the smile on his face suddenly became easy-going and natural, "Feng Xiao, I have something to discuss with you. Your Aunt Shi is going to Singapore tomorrow, and she wants to take the child with her. You think you can
? You know that she can't live without this child even a day now."
I was stunned immediately, "But the child's grandparents made a special trip to see him this time."
He sighed and said, "Yeah. What should we do? Your Aunt Shi is going to Singapore for the Spring Festival, and also to visit one of her elders there. The air tickets have been booked. The child is hers.
She can't bear to leave her child for a day. Feng Xiao, you also know that now that we have no children and only this grandson is left, it is understandable that she can't bear to leave the child, right? "
I completely understood what he meant. In fact, in the final analysis, he wanted me to agree to Shi Yanni taking the child away. But... I thought about it and said, "Then, when will Aunt Shi come back?"
He replied: "It will only take a few days. I will come back after the Spring Festival. In fact, she feels more at ease with the child, don't you think? You are now the director of the hospital, and you will definitely have to go around to pay New Year's greetings recently. Where can I go?"
Do you have time to take care of your children? It’s impossible for your parents to come here in the past two days. I have asked today that the company in your hometown has been too busy recently. The bank has been very demanding in loan collections in recent days, so the company has to do this recently.
We have to take advantage of the Spring Festival to carry out a stage of promotion. Also, your father is the general manager of that company after all, so he also has to give New Year greetings to the heads of the county and the heads of various departments, right? Neither do I.
Kong, I will be even busier now that Aunt Shi leaves, so I think it would be good to let her take the child away. What do you think?"
Now that he has said everything to this extent, what else can I say? I nodded and said, "Okay. Just do whatever you say."
He smiled at me and said: "Feng Xiao, thank you for agreeing to this matter. Your Aunt Shi has been in a bad mood for a long time since Xiaonan left. Fortunately, having this child can make her slowly become happy. This person
Ah, you have to have something to rely on, right?"
I said: "Yes. I understand."
He added: "When the time comes, you can explain it to your parents, and I will explain it to them. In fact, I know you are in trouble, but after all, this child has been with your Aunt Shi for so long, and he is already very affectionate, so it is okay
I have no choice but to feel sorry for your parents. I know they also really want to see their children."
I said, "Yeah. Let's do this. I'll take the kids back after the Spring Festival. That way there won't be any problems."
He nodded, "Today your Aunt Shi took the child to see Xiao Nan. I originally wanted to ask you to go with her, but I thought you must be very busy, and it was estimated that you would go see her alone during the Spring Festival, so I didn't ask you.
.Feng Xiao, Xiaonan has been gone for so long, shouldn’t you also consider your own personal matters now?”
I didn't expect that he would come to talk about this matter at this time. Suddenly I realized that this might be a temptation, so I hurriedly said: "Let's talk about it later. There are too many things going on right now, and I don't have any ideas in that regard yet.
"
He shook his head and said: "You are a man, you can't live alone like this, right? You live alone at home in the cold, how do you live this life? And you are now the director of such a hospital, if
It wouldn’t be appropriate if this continues, as I won’t necessarily make mistakes because of it. What do you think?”
I was speechless for a moment.
He looked at me and said, "I think there is someone good, you might as well consider it."
I looked at him and immediately thought in my mind: Could it be that he was talking about her? Is he really planning to arrange her for me? I shook my head hastily and said, "Let's talk about this later. Okay?"
He looked at me and smiled, "It seems you already know who I'm talking about. That's all, you can think about it yourself."
I don’t want to talk about this matter anymore because it’s too embarrassing for me. “Uncle Lin, what exactly happened with Tong Yangxi? Can you tell me?”
However, he suddenly became excited, "Don't ask me about this! I'm still confused! Feng Xiao, do you really not know that Tong Yangxi is a policeman?"
I immediately regretted that I shouldn't have asked him about this, "I really don't know."
He stood up suddenly, and then kept pacing, "Someone wants to seize the handle of our Jiangnan Group and kill us! I know it! Some people can't stand the hugeness that our group has grown over the years.
He couldn't stand the changes in the situation, so he tried to use this method to destroy us. It was too much! I have reported this matter to the Provincial Public Security Department and also to Governor Huang.
What I need now is for them to give me a reasonable explanation. What I dislike the most is conspiracy behind the scenes, but I never expected that someone would actually get into me. They thought I was just like that
You're so easy to bully? That's unreasonable!" (To be continued)
