Chapter 91: Heart to Heart "When Yingying is unhappy, she doesn't even talk...

"Especially, you are not allowed to ask men for money?" Ms. Jolie raised her voice a little.

Qiao Ruoying glanced at her mother and saw tears welling up in her mother's eyes. Her tears were about to burst out.

She was afraid to talk about Jiang Zongye and how she had spent Jiang Zongye's money, as it would bring back bad memories for her mother and remind her of her scumbag father.

"Yes, Mom, I remember..."

Qiao Ruoying knew that her mother was angry, so she followed her mother's words and responded obediently.

Ms. Jolly sighed.

"Xiaoying, look, Mom is a living example right in front of you. Back then, your dad also gave me money to spend..."

Hearing her mother suddenly mention her scumbag father, Qiao Ruoying immediately guessed that Cen Guangsheng must have called her mother this morning.

Involuntarily, she put her arms around her mother.

Ms. Jolly's steady voice continued.

"...When the average monthly salary was 300 yuan, your scumbag father was willing to buy me 900 yuan high heels. Mom was young at the time, and his desire for material things was aroused. Because I spent his money, he controlled me, so I married him..."

"Mom doesn't want you to make the same mistake again."

A tear slid across her mother's face, which was no longer young but still beautiful, and dripped onto Qiao Ruoying's neck. It was warm, but seemed to be scorching hot.

She sobbed silently, hugged her mother tighter, and felt her mother's soft, slightly trembling body.

When her mother was young, she was a very slim woman with a great figure. When she stood on the street in a well-tailored cheongsam, her figure was curvy and well-proportioned, and everyone on the street would turn around to look at her.

But what have time, years, and the responsibility of raising a family and children brought to mothers?

Her waist, no longer slender, gradually became stronger, and her arms also had a little fat. She had shed the beauty of a girl, and through the melting and beating of time, she had acquired the unique temperament and charm of a mature woman, like a mature golden ear of wheat; her body was like that of the mother earth, protecting her daughter from wind and rain...

"Mom, I know, I know."

Qiao Ruoying is very sensible. She has always tried her best to be a good daughter to her mother, understand her mother's difficulties, and share her mother's burdens to the best of her ability.

"I'm glad you know."

Jolie squeezed her daughter's hand.

Qiao Ruoying held her mother's hand, her fingers gently stroking the back of her mother's slightly relaxed hand, carefully choosing her words, and spoke again:

"Mom, listen to me, Jiang Zongye...he's different from my dad. He's not that bad a man. He's been through the test. Last time we found out his parents were investigating our family, we had already broken up. I sent all my things back to him, but he refused to accept them and pursued me again..."

"I couldn't tread water and nearly drowned as a child, so he insisted I take swimming lessons and be able to save myself. I even gave him clothes and bags, but he refused to accept them. He also wanted to assign me a driver, fearing I would downgrade my material consumption and suffer hardship. He gave me a card with plenty of money in it, and even if I didn't spend it, he would transfer money to me, encouraging me to spend as much as I wanted..."

"He took over the company at the age of 20 and made a lot of money on his own. He wasn't under his parents' control at all, and his parents weren't unreasonable people..."

Qiao Ruoying spoke incoherently, and her speech became faster and faster.

She wanted to say, Mom, can you give him a chance to prove himself?

He is really not a scumbag. He really has the ability to love me, and he loves me sincerely.

“…”

Listening to her daughter's slightly anxious tone, she could hardly catch her breath and her voice was hoarse. She was afraid that her daughter, as a mother, could not understand her, so Ms. Qiao Li sighed from the bottom of her heart.

She saw that her eldest daughter was really trapped in it.

She was really afraid that Xiaoying would get hurt.

"Okay, Yingying, mom also knows that we can't generalize." Ms. Qiao Li stroked her daughter's hair. There was a little sweat at the roots of her hair. The fine hair stuck to her smooth and delicate forehead, and there was a beauty that seemed like porcelain pearls.

Her precious daughter was so beautiful and gentle that she was spotted by a "yellow-haired" man as soon as she entered society.

"Mom has to go back to the factory to work overtime this afternoon. When the time is right, you can ask him to come over and see you. If he is a good person, respects you, and truly loves you, Mom won't object."

"real?"

After a sudden turn of events, Qiao Ruoying raised her misty eyes and looked at her mother in disbelief, with the corners of her lips sincerely curved into crescents.

"What mom said couldn't be false." Ms. Qiao Li forced a smile and gently scratched her daughter's nose with her slightly dry fingers.

"But listen carefully, Yingying. If, after getting to know him better, I decide that he's not a good person, or that his family isn't, and that you'd be wronged if I married him, I'll firmly oppose the marriage, and you can't marry him. You have to listen to me on this, okay?"

Although these words were sincere and heartfelt, Qiao Ruoying felt her heart hanging in the air.

Will there really be no mistakes while my mother is investigating Jiang Zongye?

But please don't make any mistakes.

Has Jiang Zongye settled everything with Jiang's parents? Don't let Mom think she'll be wronged if she marries him...

The conversation ended here.

Qiao Ruoqi was also "pardoned" by her mother and released from her bedroom. She hurried out, heated up the cold food in the microwave, and acted as a little bee to ease the atmosphere, chattering away.

"Mom, the sweet and sour pork ribs you made are so delicious."

"Mom, please eat with me for a while..."

Although Qiao Ruoying had no appetite, she still forced herself to eat a bowl of rice before returning to her bedroom.

On her mobile phone, there was a message that Jiang Zongye had just sent her.

"picture"

"picture"

Two pictures. One is the Freud rose he used to set the mood when he asked for reconciliation in the trunk of his Audi last night. Now it is placed on the balcony of the suite, cultivated with floral mud, with emerald green branches and plump petals.

The other photo was taken in a large supermarket with bright light strips. Large cherries were wrapped in red gift boxes, emitting a ruby-like luster.

Old man: "The flowers can still grow for a few days."

He knew that Qiao Ruoying liked flowers and liked them to bloom beautifully, so he would take good care of them and try to extend their flowering period.

"This supermarket has great New Year's goods. I asked them to save the freshest and best ones."

Seeing his message, Qiao Ruoying felt like she had grabbed a lifeline in a torrent of trouble. She imagined Jiang Zongye, a busy man, putting aside all his business affairs to carefully select New Year's goods in the supermarket, with such care and attention. Her originally gloomy mood also improved a lot.

She replied with an "OK".

Soon, Jiang Zongye's message followed. "Yingying, are you unhappy?"

Yingying, are you unhappy?

Seeing this, Qiao Ruoying was stunned. She hadn't had time to tell Jiang Zongye about what happened this morning, whether it was her scumbag father calling or her mother scolding her.

So how did he know her emotions?

Only those who care about you very much will pay attention to your emotions all the time.

Qiao Ruoying's heart suddenly softened, like a red peach in the orchard. If Jiang Zongye shook it even slightly, she would fall completely into him.

Cat Biter: "How do you know I'm unhappy?"

Old man: "When you are unhappy, you speak very briefly."

He was familiar with every detail related to her.

“…”

Qiao Ruoying felt a lump in her throat and thought, why is he so considerate? It makes her want to pee in her eyes. What a bad man!

The old man said, "Then I'll come find you. I'll be driving back right now and I'll be there in half an hour."

Cat Bite: "No need. You should just go to the supermarket and pick out your New Year's goods. I just talked to my mom, and she doesn't agree with us yet. She wants to carefully examine you. Only when she's satisfied can we be together. So you have to prepare well and make sure there are no mistakes."

The old man said, "Okay. I'll prepare well. Xiaoying, are you unhappy because your mother doesn't agree?"

In fact, it wasn't just this reason. She was also upset because her scumbag father came to harass her family, and sad because she recalled the lack of fatherly love in her childhood.

"It's because of my dad..." She had just typed this sentence into the input box, but then stopped. She remembered that she had never formally mentioned her original family to Jiang Zongye, nor did she mention her father and mother's divorce.

But Jiang Zong also assumed from the beginning that he came to Huaxian to see her mother, and even when he asked about her preferences, he only considered her mother and her sister's preferences. Therefore, he more or less knew the general situation of her family.

But he certainly didn't know those details.

I don’t know that she once felt upset because her father didn’t push her on the swing, or that she once cried bitterly because someone said, “You are a child who has no father.” He didn’t know any of the accumulated grievances.

At that moment, she suddenly longed to see Jiang Zongye and tell him everything. She knew he would firmly support her, wrapping her in his strong heart, making her feel warm and secure as if she were swaddled in a cradle...

She wanted to tell him in person.

She replied to Jiang Zongye: "It's also related to my father. I want to meet him and then tell you."

Old man: "Okay, then I'll go back now."

Cat Bite: "You don't have to come back now. Come back later."

"good."

Jiang Zongye finally agreed.

In the middle of the conversation, Qiao Ruoqi sneaked into her sister's room, hugged her sister's Ji Yi doll tightly, and talked about her own interesting things at school.

Qiao Ruoying knew that Xiaoqi, the cheerful girl, was distracting her with funny things to prevent her from thinking about sad things. She snatched the baby Jiyi from her sister's hand, grabbed Jiyi's ear and gently hit her sister on the shoulder, saying to her:

"Okay. Actually, I'm not that sad now."

"Is this true?" Qiao Ruoqi looked at her suspiciously.

"real."

She added silently in her heart: After all, your brother-in-law is here.

"...So Xiaoqi, you should follow the original plan this afternoon and accompany your mother back to the factory. She needs you more." Qiao Ruoying said.

"Okay." Qiao Ruoqi breathed a sigh of relief after hearing her sister say that. "Then I'll accompany Mom this afternoon?"

"Yes, let her forget Cen Guangsheng as soon as possible." Qiao Ruoying affirmed.

Ten minutes later, the aluminum alloy door slammed shut. Mom and sister left, and the house became quiet again. Qiao Ruoying turned on her computer, processed her email remotely, then opened a website and continued to show her mother houses.

Before I knew it, I had been sitting in front of the computer for more than an hour.

The sunset glow in the evening is extremely beautiful, diffusing in through the window, and the air is filled with a layer of golden light, like the shimmering scales of a koi leaping in a pond, or like a bonfire burning in the snow, it is so beautiful.

Qiao Ruoying was shocked by the sunset in this small town and opened the window to admire it.

The cold wind blew in, and the feeling of coldness from cheeks to the back of the head made people wake up immediately.

The cell phone rang at this moment.

Qiao Ruoying saw that it was another local Huaxian number and did not answer it.

After several persistent calls, she finally picked up the phone. As expected, Cen Guangsheng's voice rang through the receiver.

"Xiaoying, are you and mom still living in Happiness? I brought some things to your house and wanted to see you..."

Qiao Ruoying couldn't stand it any longer and really wanted to hang up the phone on her scumbag father, but her scumbag father knew their home address, which meant he had a hold on their weak spot.

"No, just go back and don't disturb us."

She said it with a stiff firmness.

Cen Guangsheng didn't say anything.

Over the years, he has worked in government agencies. What kind of people has he not seen? His social experience is much richer than Qiao Ruoying's.

He knew that Qiao Ruoying just wanted him to leave quickly to avoid him running into Qiao Li and making her sad and unhappy.

The two daughters defended their mother so fiercely, which made him, their biological father, both unhappy and jealous.

You know, these two daughters are so promising. I should have been nicer to them back then.

To be honest, it’s still Qiao Li’s fault. If she hadn’t insisted on changing her two daughters’ surnames, which made him feel that it was a loss of male dignity, how could the Cen family have such a bad relationship with them?

If things weren't so awkward, Xiaoying, Xiaoqi and Changchang would have some feelings for each other, so how could Xiaoying not support her brother?

On the phone, Cen Guangsheng's voice sounded honest and simple: "Which floor is your home on? I'm at the door. Are you living on the seventh floor? Please open the door to the apartment building for me."

“…”

Qiao Ruoying listened and felt like she was listening to a horror story.

The scumbag dad really came to my house?

She repeatedly emphasized many times and asked Cen Guangsheng to go back, but Cen Guangsheng didn't listen.

He is a sly old shrew and knows how to deal with Qiao Ruoying.

Sometimes, when a decent person meets a scoundrel, he will suffer.

Cen Guangsheng was determined to sacrifice his dignity.

There was no other way. The Cen family was now in decline. Cen Chang, who had graduated from a three-year college, couldn't find a job or enter a government department, so he just stayed at home playing computer games every day.

After all, this son was raised by him, he has feelings for his son, and he wants his son to have a proper job and avoid endless quarrels at home.

“…”

Qiao Ruoying was completely helpless against Cen Guangsheng.

Ms. Qiao Li will be off work in half an hour. What should I do?

After thinking it over, she put on her coat and decided to go downstairs to meet Cen Guangsheng.

downstairs.

Cen Guangsheng, wearing a brown leather jacket and carrying a fruit basket, was waiting under the telephone pole at the entrance of the apartment building.

The cold wind blew on his face like a scraper. He rubbed his fingers and finally saw the fruit green painted door being pushed open, and Qiao Ruoying's figure flashed inside.

Qiao Ruoying was wary of him and looked at him coldly.

"What are you doing here?"

"I came to chat with you three, mother and daughter." said Cen Guangsheng.

"There's nothing to talk about." Qiao Ruoying said.

The sunset gradually faded and night fell. The sky was a bright blue between tile blue and ordinary blue, like the blue of the sea water reflected by the lights in the aquarium.

Her face was wrapped in this layer of blue, like a layer of ice, cold, yet truly beautiful.

How could she not have a cold face? Cen Guangsheng had missed out on her and her sister's entire childhood.

When her mother was busy working overtime and her sister had a fever and she could only hold her sister and cry helplessly; when her mother had thyroid cancer and underwent surgery in the hospital and only the two sisters were by her side, where was her father?

In another happy and complete home.

Seeing that she was unmoved, Cen Guangsheng decided to change his words. He wanted Qiao Ruoying to feel guilty and then use her guilt to achieve his goal.

"Xiaoying, ahem, look, Dad has been outside for so long that his legs are frozen. He's going to get a severe case of cold legs when he gets home. If your mom hadn't insisted on changing your last name from Cen to Qiao, you wouldn't have been away from Dad for so long. Because of the surname change, Dad has been ashamed in front of your grandfather's family..."

“…”

When Qiao Ruoying heard what he said, she felt a buzzing sound and her blood rushed to her head.

Cen Guangsheng is becoming more and more shameless. Now he can say black as white and white as black. With his unrepentant attitude, it is a waste of words to say any more to him.

She planned to call the police, or tell Jiang Zongye and let Jiang Zongye find someone to handle it.

"If you want to stand here, just stand there. I'm going back." Qiao Ruoying ran out of patience. She said this and turned around.

The moment she turned around, her wrist felt tight and was grabbed by Cen Guangsheng. She felt nauseous and shook her hand away.

At this moment, a low roar came from behind, "Let her go", followed by a sticky groan from Cen Guangsheng.

Jiang Zong also kicked out, quickly, accurately and fiercely kicking Cen Guangsheng on the wrist.

Cen Guangsheng felt a sudden sharp pain in his wrist and had to let go of Qiao Ruoying. The fruit basket in his other hand flew out, and the big red apples rolled in the snow, breaking the peel and shattering the flesh.

Cen Guangsheng gripped his aching ankle in uncertainty, sizing up the man before him. He was tall and slender, his demeanor unapproachable, his face as cold as an Asura, icy and frozen, his dark eyes gazing intently at him.

Just being stared at by this young man, he felt a strong sense of oppression coming over him, drowning him like a flood.

Then, the man put his arm around Qiao Ruoying's shoulders, his tone returning to calm, yet with a hint of heartache in his calmness:

"Are you hurt anywhere?"
