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 256: CEO’s White Moonlight (10)
“I don’t know more. This sister and I used to be neighbors.” Shi Yi lowered her eyes and retracted her melancholy look.
Ji Ran didn’t know Qu Weilai had a family at first. Later, she was moved by Qu Weilai and fell in love with him. It was only when Qu Weilai confronted her that she knew everything. For Qu Weilai, she even miscarried her three children in succession. In the original plot, she did not get a good ending. In the end, Qu’s mother and An Yihuan brought people to her house to humiliate and beat her. When the neighbors found out, they talked about her going crazy. She was sent to a mental hospital by the sympathetic heroine An Yihuan.
“Let’s go see this sister together when we have time.” Qu Xiangran’s eyes flashed with deep thought, and he put down his chopsticks.
“Have you eaten?” Shi Yi came back to his senses.
“You, you didn’t tell me anything. My mother must have embarrassed you when she saw you.” Qu Xiangran held her hand.
They have been together for more than a year, but their relationship seems to be always close and distant, with no substantial breakthroughs. The girl in front of him gave him the feeling that he was dispensable.
Shi Yi stared into his eyes and shook his head, his eyes sparkling like little stars, "I can handle it."
"What can you handle?" Qu Xiangran gently stroked her cheek, "I know my mother's temper. You must be angry if she is aggressive, but why didn't you tell me?"
"Auntie used 5 million to let me go abroad." Shi Yi pressed his hand and stared at him, and continued: "Unfortunately, although I love money, I will not be moved by this mere 5 million. After all, President Qu Xiangran should be worth 50 million, right?"
"Naughty." Qu Xiangran mischievously pressed her head into his arms, but his nose was a little sour.
Using money to make people around him leave is his mother's usual method. From childhood to adulthood, as long as he has a particularly good friend around him, his mother will use this trick. And those who offer a suitable price for his mother often leave him quietly. Later, he rarely made friends. He almost forgot this trick of his mother.
Shi Yi is the first person who has not been moved by his mother's money so far. Although he knows that Shi Yi really wants to study abroad.
"You still have to go to work tomorrow, go to bed, the bed is made for you." Shi Yi patted him on the back gently.
"No, I'm not sleepy yet." Qu Xiangran pestered her like a child and refused to let go.
It was a rare opportunity for him to be with his sweetheart, and he didn't want to waste time on things that he could do every day.
"Okay, then let me go first, I'll make you a fruit plate." Shi Yi was disturbed by the mysterious black shadow and didn't want to sleep. She glanced at Qu Xiangran who was very dependent on her, and was very grateful that he could come to her home at this time today.
"No, I don't like to eat fruit. I just want to hold you like this, and listen to the rain outside quietly." Qu Xiangran didn't mean to let go at all.
In such a late night, the first person he thought of was Le Shi Yi, and he admitted defeat.
Shi Yi let him hold her without saying a word.
The two of them used the warmth transmitted to them by each other and listened quietly to the sound of the heavy rain hitting the glass windows outside. For the first time, Qu Xiangran felt that the dreary autumn rain could also be warm. He was a little touched and had the desire to talk.
"Let me tell you a story."
"Okay."
"Let's start with the usual beginning. There was a little boy whose parents were arranged by the family to get married. Before the boy's father got married, he was a very loose and free man. He was used to living a casual life and hated being bound. The boy's mother was good-looking and used to being praised by her family. After getting married, she took it for granted that her husband should pamper her and give in to her. The marriage between these two was doomed to tragedy early on."
"Their conflict reached its peak after the boy was born. They had a fierce quarrel at home. Both of them were from the upper class, and although their marriage was not happy, no one would be stupid enough to lose the interests behind it for a legal relationship. The same was true for the boy's parents. So in the boy's memory, he would never see his father at home, and the only way to see his father was to take the driver's car to the company. Because people like his father who were used to being casual would rather go to work in the company than stay at home and be bullied by the boy's mother."
"The father was often not at home. Fortunately, the boy had his mother with him, so he didn't care much. But gradually, as the boy grew up, he found that his mother had changed and became more and more controlling. His mother dictated what kind of school he should go to, what grades he should get, and what kind of friends he should make. He was very unhappy. But he had no choice. Because as long as he couldn't meet his mother's requirements, his mother would cry in front of him about how difficult her life was and what a jerk she was. Just when he was really about to resent his father, his father told him that everything was just his mother's imagination."
"The boy's father gave the boy a thick photo album. There were many photos of the boy and all the awards the boy had won. At the same time, there was a list of various congratulatory gifts he had personally selected. The boy's father told the boy that he was proud of the boy. But the boy began to be confused because he had never received any gifts from his father. As for every parent-teacher meeting, his mother would tell him that his bastard father would not come because he was fooling around outside. In short, in those years, whenever his father was needed, his mother would tell him that his father was fooling around outside and didn't want them anymore."
"The little boy spoke out his doubts, and he still remembers how the father scolded his mother with gritted teeth. He realized that his mother might have lied to him. He reconciled with his father. They often contacted each other secretly. Just as the boy's father expected, the boy really grew up to be a responsible man."
"At this time, the boy's father finally decided to divorce his mother. As a child, he didn't know who to support or not. But he thought that he had grown up and could bear whatever happened. But the little boy didn't want to go back to the big house where he had lived for more than 20 years, because it always reminded him of the loneliness of his childhood."
"Go to sleep. The little boy found his beloved little girl later, and he won't be lonely anymore." Shi Yi stretched out his hand and slowly wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes.
Lucky people use their childhood to heal their whole life, and unfortunate people use their whole life to heal their childhood. Qu Xiangran is obviously the latter, but he is extremely lucky. Because someone is willing to spend all the costs to travel through time and space for him.
