Before Jiang Kexin finished complaining, the phone rang again. She took a closer look and saw that it was Luo Hengyuan's call again, so she simply turned off the phone.
The bamboo rice dumplings and chicken made by her mother were so delicious that Jiang Kexin kept sucking her fingers while eating them. When she was eating deliciously, the dream bell suddenly rang.
As soon as Du Lanxin opened the door, she heard Lu Jinyan ask anxiously: "Mom, are you happy to see it?"
"She's right inside!" Before Du Lanxin could finish her words, Lu Jinyan rushed in like a whirlwind.
"Hey, isn't it working time now? Why are you here?" Jiang Kexin asked vaguely while chewing on the chicken legs.
Lu Jinyan felt relieved and then asked fiercely: "Where is your mobile phone? Why is it turned off? Didn't I give you two batteries?"
Luo Hengyuan's phone call to Jiang Kexin couldn't get through, and he was worried that something had happened to her, so he had to call Lu Jinyan. In order to avoid Luo Hengyuan, Du Lanxin turned off her cell phone and unplugged the phone line at home.
Lu Jinyan couldn't contact Jiang Kexin, so he became anxious and quickly looked for him.
Jiang Ke hurriedly begged for mercy: "I'm sorry, I forgot to charge it!"
"You, can't you be smarter? Do you know that when I received a call from Commander Luo just now, saying that you couldn't get through, I..." Lu Jinyan said with lingering fear.
Jiang Kexin's expression changed, and she glanced at him hurriedly, but it was already too late, Du Lanxin had already heard what he said.
"Damn it, did you lie just now?" Du Lanxin looked at her sternly and asked.
Only then did Lu Jinyan realize that he had said the wrong thing and looked at Jiang Kexin apologetically.
Jiang Kexin stood up and glared at him fiercely. When facing Du Lanxin, she turned into a good baby again: "Mom, I'm sorry, I was just afraid that you would be angry!"
"If you are really afraid that I will be angry, you should tell me the truth!" Du Lanxin said angrily.
Jiang Kexin stood there with an aggrieved face, looking as pitiful as possible. Lu Jinyan looked at it and felt extremely distressed before he wanted to express his love. At this moment, his phone suddenly rang. Lu Jinyan looked at
I checked the caller ID before pressing the reject button.
Then I heard Du Lanxin's voice: "Give me your phone!"
Lu Jinyan didn't say anything nonsense and immediately handed the phone to her.
Du Lanxin walked into the bedroom with the phone in her hand and closed the door in front of them.
Lu Jinyan and Jiang Kexin looked at each other.
The latter said dissatisfied: "Why did you give the phone to my mother? What if they get into a fight?"
"I think they should talk clearly between themselves, otherwise Commander Luo will not give up, and Mom's life will not be peaceful in the future!" Lu Jinyan said rationally.
In the room, as soon as Du Lanxin pressed the answer button on the phone, she heard Luo Hengyuan's anxious voice: "Jinyan, have you found Kexin? Where is she now? Nothing happened to her?"
"But Xin is my daughter, she doesn't need your care!" Du Lanxin said through gritted teeth.
Luo Hengyuan on the other side of the phone seemed stunned for a moment, and then shouted in surprise: "Lan Xin, is that you?"
"The name Lanxin is not yours, please teach me, Mrs. Jiang!" Du Lanxin said sternly.
Luo Hengyuan sighed heavily: "Lan Xin, do you really still hate me?"
"Shouldn't I hate you?" Du Lanxin sneered.
"Lan Xin, listen to my explanation. I was forced to do so back then!" Luo Hengyuan seized the opportunity and wanted to explain what happened back then.
"I'm sorry, I'm not interested in knowing. I answered your call just to tell you, please don't harass me and my daughter in the future. We just want to live an ordinary and quiet life!" Du Lanxin said coldly.
"Lan Xin, you are so selfish, but she is also my daughter. I love her as much as you do. How can you bear not to let us father and daughter meet!" Luo Hengyuan blurted out.
Du Lanxin was immediately shocked: "You are talking nonsense, but Xin's surname is Jiang. She is my and Yuan Mu's daughter and has nothing to do with you at all!"
"I have sent people to investigate. You and Jiang Muyuan got married in March, but Xin was born in October. The time doesn't match at all!"
"Well, that's because I was born prematurely!" Du Lanxin explained guiltily.
"I thought that might be the case at the time, so I went to the hospital to do a DNA test. You don't need me to tell you the results, right?" Luo Hengyuan said with a cold snort.
The mobile phone in Du Lanxin's hand fell to the ground with a bang.
"Lan Xin, what's wrong with you? Lan Xin, are you okay? Lan Xin, Lan Xin..." Luo Hengyuan called anxiously on the phone.
It took Du Lanxin a while to react. She picked up the mobile phone on the ground and asked with a pale face: "Luo Hengyuan, what do you want to do?"
"Lan Xin, I don't mean to threaten you, I just want to see you and know how you and your daughter have been doing well over the years..."
Before Luo Hengyuan finished speaking, he heard Du Lanxin say coldly: "Okay, I agree to meet you. You decide the time and place!"
"Then I'll pick you up at noon tomorrow!" Luo Hengyuan said in surprise.
"No need, just tell me a location and I'll go directly there!" Du Lanxin said coldly.
"There is a cafe called Lifetime Cafe next to Chengnan University. Let's meet there tomorrow at 12 noon!" Luo Hengyuan said quickly.
Du Lanxin agreed and quickly hung up the phone.
Luo Hengyuan originally wanted to ask her how she had been in the past twenty years, but as soon as she said a word, he heard the busy tone of the phone, but this did not affect his good mood.
Du Lanxin finally agreed to meet him. As long as she explained clearly what happened back then, she was forced to do so. Lanxin was so reasonable and would definitely forgive her.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but smile with joy. Luo Hengyuan then called his secretary: "Xiao Gu, help me do something!"
“That cafe in the south of the city!”
"Yes, it's the one I often go to. You can book the cafe for me for the whole day!"
…
Mrs. Luo, who was standing outside the study door, held the tea tray in her hands so tightly that her nails were almost broken, but she didn't notice it at all.
After he finished the call, Mrs. Luo mustered up the courage to knock on the door.
When Luo Hengyuan saw that it was her, his joyful mood immediately cooled down, and he asked calmly: "What's the matter?"
Mrs. Luo forced a smile: "I made you a pot of tea!"
Luo Hengyuan nodded lightly: "Let it go!"
Mrs. Luo put down the teapot and stood by the desk but hesitated to speak.
"Is there anything else?" Luo Hengyuan looked up at her.
"Are you free tomorrow?" Mrs. Luo looked at him expectantly.
"No time!" Luo Hengyuan refused without thinking. The next moment he saw her overwhelmed look, he felt a little soft-hearted, so he lowered his tone and asked, "What's going on tomorrow?"
Mrs. Luo was overjoyed and said cautiously: "Tomorrow is our twenty-eighth wedding anniversary, and I have reserved a restaurant!"
"I'm sorry, I have important things to do tomorrow. I will ask Xiaorou to go shopping with you tomorrow. You can buy whatever you like and I will pay you the bill when you come back!" Luo Hengyuan said apologetically.
"No, I don't have anything, I don't need anything!" Mrs. Luo replied lonely.
Seeing her sad look, Luo Hengyuan couldn't bear it and comforted her: "I am sorry for you this year, and I promise you that I will have a good time with you next year!"
Mrs. Luo forced a smile: "Work is important! You work first, I'm going out to prepare dinner!"
Luo Hengyuan nodded.
Mrs. Luo turned around, and the smile on her face disappeared immediately. She clasped her hands tightly, and her nails were deeply dug into her flesh. She still couldn't feel the pain.
She had to use a lot of willpower to control herself from crying loudly. Even if she wanted to cry, she would have to walk out of the room. Even if she wanted to cry, she could not cry in front of Luo Hengyuan!
Twenty-eight years, they have been married for twenty-eight years, but he can never remember when their wedding anniversary is, but she will always remember how cold it was that day, just like his expression at that time.
Like her mood at the moment, one is the biting cold winter, and the other is the sunny autumn. He can remember the two seasons with such huge contrast. It can be imagined how little he cares about the relationship between the two.
marriage.
It turns out that in his heart, drinking coffee with his first love is much more important than celebrating his wedding anniversary with her, a decent lady!
Originally, she still held on to a glimmer of hope that for the sake of her daughter and the twenty-eight-year marriage, she would at least have some place in his heart. It turned out that all of this was her own extravagant wish.
That's all.
In Luo Hengyuan's heart, there was no place for him at all.
When he married himself, he was just following his mother's orders. Now that she is useless, he has also found the woman he loves, so he can kick himself aside!
Luo Hengyuan, you have such a beautiful idea. If I don't live well, I won't let you live well. Even if I die, I will drag you to the funeral with me!
The next day, Du Lanxin arrived at Shengsheng on time, and Luo Hengyuan had been waiting there.
When he saw her coming in, he was so happy that he was at a loss: "Lan Xin, what do you want to drink? I remember that you used to like milk tea the most. I have tried milk tea from many stores. This one tastes the same as the one we drank back then.
The most similar!"
Du Lanxin looked at him with a responsible expression and said lightly: "I don't drink milk tea anymore, just give me a glass of water!"
"What a shame, after so many years, you haven't changed at all!" Luo Hengyuan looked at her intently, with the same expression on his face as before.
Du Lanxin frowned when he saw her. She didn't want to tangle with him any more, so she asked without any emotion in her tone: "Luo Hengyuan, if you have anything to say, just say it quickly!"
Luo Hengyuan lowered his eyes in disappointment: "Lan Xin, we haven't seen each other for so many years, do you really miss me at all?"
Du Lanxin snorted coldly, raised her head and glanced at him contemptuously: "Why should I think about someone who has nothing to do with me!"
Luo Hengyuan was speechless by her words. After a long time, he said in pain: "Lan Xin, do you know that I have been looking for you again all these years!"
"What are you looking for me for? You want to show off to me how happy your marriage is and how high and powerful you are now. Do you want to have the wind or the rain?" Du Lanxin said sarcastically.
Luo Hengyuan smiled bitterly: "Lan Xin, we haven't seen each other for so many years, can't you have a good conversation with me?"
"I can't talk properly to someone I hate!" Du Lanxin said rudely.
"Since you hate me, why did you still give birth to my and your child?" Luo Hengyuan asked sharply.
"Luo Hengyuan, stop being so sentimental. I'm happy to stay here just because she is my child. She is a life and has nothing to do with you!" Du Lanxin looked at her coldly and said.
"Lan Xin, I know I'm sorry for you, but I was forced to do nothing at that time. My mother threatened to die and insisted that I marry that woman. I couldn't ignore my mother's life!" Luo Hengyuan said painfully.
"The matter has passed. We are all living well now. I don't want to mention the past anymore!" Du Lanxin said lightly.
"There is no past. My feelings for you have always been there. It cannot pass!" Luo Hengyuan expressed his feelings loudly. This chapter has been completed!
