Chapter 25: Being Provoked
This evening, I chose to get off work early, and then took Pipi to the "Duoduo Children's Restaurant" and ordered a parent-child set meal to accompany Pipi to eat.
"Dad, do you think that little girl is beautiful?" Pipi said, pointing to a girl who looks like a Barbie doll.
"It's not beautiful, it's a bit fat." I started to study it with Pipi seriously.
"It's really beautiful!" Pipi said persistently.
"Then tell my dad, why do you think she is very beautiful?" I asked with a smile.
"She has dimples when she smiles, just like my mother!"
I looked at the little girl again, and happened to be smiling. There were really two shallow dimples, and the charm was a little like Zuo Lan. My heart seemed to be penetrated by millions of needles in an instant, full of holes.
After a long time, I touched Pipi's head and said softly, "Eat, my dad will take you to the playground later."
Pipi nodded obediently, but looked at the little girl from time to time. I knew he missed Zuo Lan. Their deep mother-son relationship could not be washed away in just two years.
......
Today, Pipi was not in a very high mood. Even though he was in the amusement park, he had only played for less than 20 minutes and said he was tired and wanted to go home to sleep. I had no choice but to take him back.
After I got home, I sat on the sofa in the living room and looked at the recent financial statements. Pipi washed himself in the bathroom. After a while, he walked out of the bathroom and said to me, "Dad, can you come to my room? I want to do it with
You can chat for a while."
I was a little surprised. At this time, Pipi was only a little over 5 years old, but he spoke in an old tone, but he nodded and then put down the financial statements in his hand.
Pipi lay on the bed and covered her with a quilt. I sat down beside his bed and asked, "What do you want to say to my dad?"
After being silent for a long time, Pipi said to me as if she was determined: "Dad, is my mother dead? She will never come back to see Pipi?"
"No, who told you this!" I angrily scolded Pipi, but my heart was twitching.
Maybe I was scared by my attitude, maybe I was really sad, Pipi cried loudly and beat me with his hands: "You are all liars, there is no Snow White in the world... Mom is dead,
She will never come back!"
I let Pipi beat me, raised my head, and tears couldn't stop flowing out... The warm scenes of Zuo Lan holding Pipi or kissing or calling her good son are now like sharp swords stabbing
Through my heart.
I hugged Pipi tightly and said with a sob: "Good son, my mother just went to another world first. In a long time, we will also go to another world to meet my mother. Although my mother is gone, there is still a world where I can still see her.
Dad will accompany you, as well as grandpa, grandma, Chen, Shen, Lin, Uncle Han, Uncle Prince... They all love you very much, do you know?"
"But I just want mom. Dad, please go and get mom back? I will definitely not make mom angry! I will study hard and listen to the teacher and aunt."
Listening to Pipi's heart-wrenching cry, I realized how painful it was when the seemingly beautiful lies were! I couldn't give Pipi a Zuo Lan after all.
That night, I just hugged Pipi like this, and he cried, and I cried, until he was tired of crying and fell asleep, I came back to my senses from the loss of my soul.
I covered Pipi with a quilt, turned off the light, and gently brought it to the door. I sat on the sofa, even though it was late at night, I didn't feel sleepy.
......
It was not until the bell sound of the early morning came from the bell tower in the distance that I came back to my senses again and finally realized that Chen Qingyi had not come back yet.
I took out my cell phone and dialed Chen Qingyi's phone number, but no one answered it for a long time. A hint of unhappiness surged in my heart. What kind of cocktail party should I attend until 12 o'clock in the morning?
I called Ye Huayi again. Ye Huayi on the other end of the phone was obviously resting. She asked in a dim tone: "What's wrong? Call me so late?"
"Do you know what cocktail party Qingyi is going to attend today?" I asked in a serious tone.
Ye Huayi's tone finally became clearer: "Ah! Haven't Qingyi returned yet?"
"No."
"I heard from her: It seems that Mr. Ning, who is Mercedes-Benz, returned to Nantong today to inspect the reception in the evening..." Ye Huayi was halfway through his words and realized that something was wrong and stopped immediately. Everyone in the whole circle knew that Mr. Ning was suffering at the beginning. After chasing Chen Qingyi for a long time, she hurriedly explained, "Yixi, don't think too much. There are many people invited today, and Sister Chen Man also received the invitation, mainly Mr. Ning talked with his former old friends."
"Well, I've been disturbed so late, you go to bed." Before Ye Huayi could speak again, I hung up the phone.
I immediately called Chen Man again, and it was answered a while later. I didn't say anything and asked immediately: "Senior sister, are you going to attend Ning Xu's cocktail party today?"
"Well, is there any problem?"
"Where are you now?"
"I'm at home, what's wrong?"
“When will the cocktail party end?”
"It's over before ten o'clock...what is wrong?" Chen Man's tone became more and more confused.
"Did you see Qingyi at the end of the party?"
"I didn't pay much attention. I was just talking to my friends... Hasn't she come back yet?"
"You drank a lot of bars today, go to bed early." I said and hung up Chen Man's phone call. I had a judgment in my heart. Chen Qingyi must be with Ning Xu at this moment. Even Chen Qingyi and I have been around for more than a year. After getting married, Ning Xu has expressed his admiration for Chen Qingyi in public or in front of friends without any hesitation.
I called Chen Qingyi again, but no one answered, so I called Ning Xu's phone number, and the phone was connected after a while.
Before I could speak on the other end of the phone, I immediately asked, "Are Qingyi with you now?"
"Be with me." Ning Xu's tone was a little provocative.
I was extremely controlling my emotions: "What time is it, do you think it's appropriate?"
"As a husband, you don't care about her, what's wrong with me, as a friend?"
"Don't talk nonsense to me, give me the address, I'll pick her up."
"No need for you, Mr. Zhang. I'm on the way to take her back. If you want it, go downstairs to help her and she's drunk too much!"
.........
I put on my coat and came downstairs of the community. After a while, a black Mercedes-Benz e350 drove into the community and then stopped in front of me.
Ning Xu first walked out of the car, and then prepared to open the co-pilot's door and help Chen Qingyi get out of the car.
"Don't move." I pointed at Ning Xu, walked to the side of the passenger seat, opened the door, and helped Chen Qingyi, who was in a vague state.
I said to Ning Xu coldly: "I warn you not to appear by Qingyi in the future, especially at this point!"
Ning Hao looked at Chen Qingyi who was supported by me, lit a cigarette, took a sip, vomited it hard, and said to me: "Zhang Yixi, I admit that you have achieved remarkable achievements in the shopping mall in the past few years.
You do have the ability and means, and countless people have been stepped on by you, but as a husband, you failed... You don't understand what a woman needs, especially a married woman...
..Qingyi’s marriage to you was her biggest mistake in her life, especially if you still have such a burdened son!”
