Chapter 151: Senior Sister?
Two more days passed, my dad, mom, aunt, and uncle never left, and I took time to accompany them every night, but to my surprise, they seemed to have discussed it and never mentioned me again.
Chen Qingyi's affairs made me even more confused and uneasy. Obviously, this is not their style.
That afternoon, my aunt came to my office at "Sea View Coffee" and said she had something to talk to me. I asked the service desk to send two cups of coffee and then waited for her to come.
My aunt took a sip of coffee, looked at me with a look that made me furious and said, "You kid don't really plan to let your dad, mom go back to the small town, right?"
"I respect their wishes for this matter. They are willing to be in Jinan. Of course I will buy a house for them, but they will not leave easily after living in the small town for most of their lives."
"You little brat are just thinking. Who said that if you buy a house for them in Jinan, you must live in Jinan for a permanent residence? It's just that you have an extra living option and don't have to stay in a hotel every time you come, right?"
I thought about it and said, "That's right... I've done this for a few days. Actually, I hope they can stay by my side. They have been working hard all their lives. It's time for me to repay them.
.”
"By the way, this is just like what a son said." The little aunt finally smiled and said to me.
.........
I was still working. My aunt opened the curtains and looked out. It was already dark. She said to me, "Yixi, don't work overtime tonight, let's have dinner with us."
"Well, wait a moment, I'll clean up."
A moment later, my aunt and I came downstairs. I went to the underground parking lot to drive. When I came out, I was surprised to find that my aunt was standing with Zuo Lan. In fact, in recent days, Zuo Lan no longer has anything to do with me.
She has never appeared in any intersection, even the opening of "Sea View Coffee".
I stopped the car again and came to Zuo Lan and my aunt. The little aunt grabbed me and said in surprise: "Yixi, I didn't even dare to recognize it at the beginning. I watched it several times before I confirmed it was Zuo.
Lan, I didn’t expect that she was also in Jinan.”
"Yes, she has been living in Jinan for many years." I looked at Zuo Lan and said with a smile.
The little aunt nodded and looked at Pipi who was holding Zuo Lan's hand and asked, "Is this your son?"
Zuo Lan nodded and said to Pipi who was playing with the toy in his hand: "Pipi, call her grandma..."
Pipi looked at the little aunt and said, "Don't call, there is no such young grandma!!" After that, he played with the toy in his hand.
Zuo Lan smiled at his aunt a little apologized, but the aunt didn't care. She took out a thousand dollars from her wallet and handed it to Zuo Lan and said, "This little thing is so funny. Take it to buy something for him."
Zuo Lan hurriedly said, "No, aunt!"
"This is the rule. How can an elder refuse to give a gift when he sees a child for the first time? He has grown two generations here, and he must not give it to me." The aunt said and stuffed the money into Zuo Lan's hand.
Lan looked at me, and I nodded at her and signaled her to accept it.
When the little aunt saw Zuo Lan accept the money, she finally smiled and said to her: "Let me hug this little clever ghost. I like him very much at first sight!"
Zuo Lan discussed with Pipi who was playing with her own hands: "Pipi, let grandma hold you for a while, okay, mom is tired!"
Pipi finally glanced at the little aunt, then opened her arms and asked her to hug him. The little aunt took him with a smile, hugged and kissed him, and liked him so much that I couldn't help but wonder, if one day I had a son
, How do she have to spoil it!
......
On the way, I was driving attentively, but my aunt patted my legs and said dissatisfiedly: "Yixi, look at the child who was so old after Zuo Lan broke up with you. You still don't even have a relationship.
If you are in decline, can’t you let us elders save worry?”
I didn't say anything and was still driving attentively. I couldn't tell the reason about this, but I could only say that the angle of considering the problem was different!
But the little aunt refused to give in: "Hurry to figure out your lifelong affairs. Brother and sister-in-law are still waiting to hold their grandson..." and said again: "I don't know why, I saw Zuo Lan
That little thing in the house feels kind!!”
"Is it kind?" I muttered for no reason, but looked at the shadows of trees outside the car window and the lights flashing...
.........
Two more days passed and I was notified that the prince had returned to China. I put down all the work I had and rushed to Nantong to prepare to meet him.
It was a cold and dull night. I was wearing a thick gray windbreaker and smoking cigarettes after cigarettes at the door of the Nantong store's "Sea View Coffee".
Lin Xi came to me at some point. She handed me a cup of hot coffee and said to me softly: "It's cold outside, go in and wait."
"We made an appointment at 8 o'clock, and he will come later." I looked at my watch and looked forward and said.
The light of the car pierced the street light and shone on me. I squinted my eyes and looked around, and finally I saw clearly that it was the prince's A4.
He parked the car and I walked quickly towards him. After half a year, I finally met the prince again.
His face was full of loss, and his thick beard made him lose the sunshine of the past. Seeing me, I just smiled bitterly.
After looking at each other for a long time in silence, I and the prince took out the cigarettes they were about to hand to each other at the same time, but they did not exchange them in awkward manner, but just ignited them separately.
The prince looked at Lin Xi beside me, and Lin Xi subconsciously took a step back to me. Their meeting was anger-like embarrassment. To this day, I don't know if the prince could let go of Lin Xi that day.
Speaking without saying anything! Maybe there wasn't that day, he had already married Shen Man, or maybe with Shen Man by his side, he wouldn't have suffered such a severe blow... But life is like this, let
We each wait, our fantasies, our own shattering... and resentment can never be stopped from being destroyed!
"Go in and chat..." I patted the prince's shoulder after one stroke and said.
The prince did not look at Lin Xi again after all, and walked into the coffee shop alone with his desolate back facing the cold wind.
......
The smoking area of the coffee shop, the location next to the window, the prince and I sat opposite each other, lit a cigarette, but no one spoke. I know that after the baptism of time, we have become accustomed to being silent, the past
The laughter and scolding are getting farther and farther away...
I bounced the ashes of my fingertips and finally said to the prince: "I have asked Ang to intervene in your company's financial crisis. With the financial resources of their group, there should be no problem."
The prince just replied: "Thank you." He took a heavy breath of cigarette.
After a moment, what we said was not even as much as we smoked, as if there was an insurmountable shackle between us, and this shackle had quietly locked us before the prince went to Singapore.
The prince looked out the window blankly and lost his mind. I lit a cigarette in silence, and the gradually formed mist attached to the glass window to make the world outside the window blur.
The prince used his hand to wipe the limited clearness of the glass window, but his expression suddenly became surprised and happy: "Senior sister... it's senior sister!" After that, he ran towards the entrance of the corridor regardless of the silhouette.
Chapter completed!
