The world is a bitter sea, and people struggle within it.
Is genuine sincerity always belittled? Are kindness and gentleness always bullied? Are ugly commoners always mocked? Is unparalleled ...
Chapter 253 The CEO’s Moonlight (7)
The two of them walked to the elevator door carrying the vegetables they had just bought at the supermarket. Shi Yi suddenly thought of something and asked him, “Can you steam rice?”
“No.” Qu Xiangran looked at Shi Yi carefully, afraid that he would be disliked, and immediately added, “I can learn it this time.”
“Okay, why are you so nervous?” Shi Yi raised his hand and pressed the up button, but the smile on the corner of his mouth was so obvious that Qu Xiangran couldn’t ignore it.
“Why are you so happy?” Qu Xiangran asked his question. He rarely saw Shi Yi so happy.
Before Shi Yi could speak, the elevator opened. As soon as the two walked in, a large group of people rushed in. The two had to stand against the wall to avoid them.
Qu Xiangran glanced at the big brother standing in front of him, who kept moving towards Shi Yi, and quickly squeezed in to block Shi Yi.
Shi Yi smiled, and was even more glad that he pressed the elevator button as soon as he came in, otherwise there would be a lot of crowds.
The elevator door opened and Shi Yi’s floor arrived.
"Make way. Thank you." Qu Xiangran carried Shi Yihu in his arms and walked out.
The elevator incident did not affect the mood of the two people to cook. Shi Yi almost taught Qu Xiangran step by step how to steam rice, how to wash vegetables, and how to handle fresh chicken. Qu Xiangran also learned seriously. One of them was willing to teach, and the other was willing to learn, so a meal was cooked in this way.
When Qu Xiangran came to Shi's house in the past, he ate ready-made meals and took it for granted that cooking was an easy thing. Today, he followed Shi Yi to pick fresh vegetables in the supermarket, and came back to cook and handle vegetables and meat. Only then did he realize that cooking actually requires knowledge. Moreover, facing a table full of meals he made himself, he felt a great sense of accomplishment.
He thought of many people around him who would complain when they were drunk that their girlfriends were the type who didn't do housework. They were beautiful, but they had no soul. Now that he has such a clever and skillful girlfriend with excellent cooking skills, what reason is there not to cherish her?
Shi Yi didn't expect that cooking a meal would give Qu Xiangran so many ideas. She had planned to show off her baking skills, but after the meal, they were both full and lay on the sofa without moving.
Qu's house.
"What time is it? Where did he go again?!" Qu's mother pushed the cup in her hand onto the table, and the coffee that Xiaohua had just made for her was spilled all over.
"Godmother, Brother Xiangran should be busy with work." An Yihuan gestured to stop Xiaohua from coming to collect the cup, and cleaned the table for her.
"Busy, what are you busy with? He goes to that little vixen's house all day long!" Qu's mother had a cold face and spoke in a gloomy tone, which made An Yihuan feel a little scary.
"Who went to the little vixen's house again?" Qu's father, who had returned home, heard the second half of Qu's mother's words and continued.
"Oh, you are such a busy person, and you still know that you have a family." Qu's mother's face became even gloomier.
It is said that family disgrace should not be made public, especially when there are outsiders around. Therefore, Qu's father glanced at An Yihuan and said seriously, "My son will be back soon. I have something to talk to him about. Don't go upstairs."
An Yihuan had only seen Qu's father on TV before, but she didn't expect to see him in person today, and in such an atmosphere. She was nervous for a moment and didn't know where to put her hands and feet.
Speak of the devil. Qu Xiangran stepped into his own door and saw his long-lost father. He called out very naturally, but unexpectedly touched the sensitive nerves of Qu's mother.
Qu's mother yelled, "Don't call him father. You don't have such a father."
Qu's father shrugged his shoulders helplessly, motioning his son to go upstairs and ignore her.
Qu Xiangran was also very sensible and went upstairs quickly.
"You two father and son are very tacit today. Qu Xiangran, I tell you, if you don't come home before nine o'clock next time, I will make you pay." Qu Xiangran shouted at the backs of the two people on the stairs.
Father Qu frowned. After all, they had lived under the same roof for more than 20 years. How could he not know what Mother Qu meant? She just wanted him, as a father, to see her influence on her son. But if his son, Qu Weilai, was to be influenced by a woman, he would rather not have this son and entrust the family business to a professional manager.
He closed the door of the room.
The first thing Father Qu did was to take out the documents in his briefcase and let Qu Xiangran take a look.
"Father?" Qu Xiangran had been uneasy since he received the call from Father Qu. Seeing the documents at this moment, his heart was settled.
"I asked Attorney Bei to draft the divorce agreement." Qu's father said bluntly: "Your mother and I have no feelings for each other for a long time. I didn't get a divorce before because I thought that this would be my life, and I just hoped that you would become successful. But I didn't expect that I would meet my true love, and you are also promising enough to bear the pressure. I think now is the time. It's time to let us be free."
Qu Xiangran didn't look at the documents, but he carefully observed his father's expression. He found that his father, who was usually taciturn, seemed to relax the moment he handed the documents to him, as if he had unloaded a particularly heavy psychological burden.
He lowered his head and said, "Okay."
"Although I divorced your mother, you are still my son. The relationship between you and me will not change because of the breakdown of the relationship between me and your mother." Qu Weilai patted the shoulder of his most proud son.
Ten years ago, he really didn't have the confidence to divorce. It was all because of his outstanding son who was able to manage the family business so well that he could leave this family without any pressure. So, he was really grateful to his son.
When Qu Xiangran was very young, he guessed that his parents would get divorced one day, but he didn't expect that this day would come today after more than 20 years of peace and stability. It's better to get divorced. They were originally two unsuitable people, and it would be difficult for each other to be together.
He laughed and took the initiative to shake his father's hand, "We will always be father and son."
Qu's father held his son's hand and laughed, but he still had to tell him some things.
"Your mother is a person with a strong desire for control and a bad temper. The wife you want to marry must have her own opinions and ideas, otherwise she will be like the girl standing next to her, timid and not generous, and it will be a disgrace to our Qu family if she goes out. I think the girl your mother dated last time was very good. She spoke to your mother neither servile nor arrogant. Your mother is a fool. She thinks that everyone can be bought with a check. Even girls don't care about her."
Qu Xiangran didn't care about what his father said, because all he could think about was Shi Yi's visit to his home. His mother had already made an appointment with Shi Yi to come to his home in advance.
No wonder his mother was so anxious to bring his goddaughter An Yihuan home, and was thinking about letting her come to his company for an internship. So... So...
But she didn't tell him a word.
