Chapter 32 I’m Sorry
Chenghai Restaurant is one of the best restaurants in Sushan. Besides private dining rooms, it also offers several small dining areas named after counties and places.
Yan Sui chose an area close to Yan Zhaoting's box. To ensure that her mother could see the people coming in and out of the box and that the two of them would not be discovered, she specifically asked the waiter for a seat near the column.
This place is located in the corner of the entire restaurant, narrow and secluded, and few people like it.
But Yan Sui felt that this was the best position for them to discover Yan Zhaoting's affair.
Sui Yuling ordered a table full of dishes that Yan Sui liked, ten dishes for two people, but none of them was her favorite.
She was always like this, putting her children and husband first, and always taking a lower position. Yan Sui thought so.
Thinking about the purpose of today, Yan Sui's heartbeat was pounding from the moment she entered the room. She had been sitting in her seat for more than half an hour, but her heartbeat had not slowed down at all.
"Sui Sui, eat more. You must have been too tired from studying recently." Sui Yuling picked up a piece of pork belly with chopsticks and put it into Yan Sui's bowl.
Yan Sui bit off the lean meat obediently, responding to Sui Yuling while glancing at the situation in Yan Zhaoting's box.
Just for the stomachs of mother and daughter, Sui Yuling put down her chopsticks after an hour of eating.
Yan Sui's stomach was already full, but Yan Zhaoting and the others had not left yet, so she forced time to be delayed for another half an hour.
While biting the meat, she estimated the time it would take Yan Zhaoting and the others.
According to Tan Shu, the dinner had already begun half an hour before they arrived. Everyone ate at roughly the same time, but when several men gathered and started drinking, it was hard to predict when the dinner would end.
While Sui Yuling went to the bathroom, Yan Sui sent a message to Tan Shu, asking her to do her a favor.
Two minutes later, Tan Shu replied
: [Almost over]
At this moment, Sui Yuling wiped her hands and sat back in her seat, and asked her softly, "Have you finished eating?"
Yan Sui nodded, "I feel a little full, I want to sit down and rest for a while."
This was a normal need after dinner. Sui Yuling did not suspect anything and chatted with her about school to relieve her boredom.
Yan Sui told Sui Yuling her midterm results on the first day they were released.
Sui Yuling has always been concerned about everything about her three children. She knows everything, big or small, not to mention things like midterm exams.
But she doesn't care much about their grades. She is different from the parents of other classmates of the same age. She just hopes that the three of them are happy, no matter what school they go to or what career they choose in the future.
So after Yan Sui finished her midterm, she didn't ask how her grades were. Yan Sui knew that even though she didn't ask, she was still paying attention, so she took the initiative to tell her.
"Your homeroom teacher called me a few days ago and said that you're a little weak in math, right?"
Yan Sui nodded: "It's quite different from the other subjects."
"He said, let me find a teacher to help you with math. I said, I'll wait for you to come back and ask for your opinion. What do you say?"
"Let's talk about it later! I'm a little tired these two days." Yan Sui wanted to wait until Yan Zhaoting's problem was resolved before considering other things.
Hearing this, Sui Yuling nodded in agreement, "Yes, I see you've lost a lot of weight. It's time to have a good rest."
As soon as she finished speaking, she laughed as if she suddenly thought of something funny.
Yan Sui's tense mood was infected and relaxed for a moment. She asked her, "Mom, why are you laughing so suddenly?"
"I suddenly thought of something interesting," Sui Yuling blinked. "When I was tidying An An's room a few days ago, I saw a boy's coat. Do you think An An has someone he likes?"
"Could it be Jiaping's? They've been playing games together every day lately."
"It's not Xiaoping's. The size of the dress is 190! Xiaoping is not that tall."
Yan Sui chuckled and continued, "If Jiaping knew what you said, he would definitely be angry."
Sui Yuling laughed twice, "Although Mom is very curious about An An's affairs, Mom is also very curious about my Dabao, Sui Sui. You are now in your second year of high school. Do you have someone you like in school?"
Yan Sui was stunned.
Someone you like?
When this topic was mentioned, the first person that came to her mind was Yu Shuli.
But she couldn't tell whether she liked Yu Shuli now or it was just a lingering memory of her past life.
If she had been asked this question in her previous life, she would have definitely answered "yes".
And the answer is very clear, it points to Yu Shuli.
But when she heard this question in this life, her subconscious reaction was whether she still had feelings for Yu Shuli.
Seeing Yan Sui standing there in a daze, unable to speak for a long time, Sui Yuling smiled knowingly and said, "It seems that there is."
Yan Sui subconsciously retorted: "No."
Sui Yuling didn't believe it and just said, "Sui Sui, the hazy emotions in high school are unique.
“Maybe you won’t like him anymore after many years, but when you think back to your youth, there will always be a place for him in your memory.”
Perhaps seeing that Yan Sui didn't want to talk about this topic, Sui Yuling didn't continue the conversation and instead brought the topic back to her family.
She sighed softly, her voice low and completely different from the tone just now, "I've been thinking about whether I should wait until you finish the college entrance examination and go out to find a job."
Yan Sui opened her eyelids and asked, "Why do you suddenly want to find a job?"
"You go to school during normal times, and Ping'an and the others go to boarding school. I'm alone at home. My aunt is leaving her job in a few days, and I don't have anyone to talk to. Your father doesn't come home often, so I want to go out and find a job."
Sui Yuling would have this idea, and Yan Sui could also think of it.
But she felt that Sui Yuling's desire to find a job was not solely due to the reason she gave. Perhaps it was also related to Yan Zhaoting's recent behavior.
Yan Sui was about to speak to comfort her when she raised her eyes and her gaze passed Sui Yuling and fell on the man at the door of the box.
She fell silent. Another woman walked out of the box. She took Yan Zhaoting's hand in a familiar manner and said to the people in the box, "Our car is outside. I haven't drunk any alcohol. Can I drive you back?"
From their box to the door, they had to pass through the aisle next to Yan Sui and the others.
Even though she wouldn't see them sitting inside when she walked down the aisle, Yan Sui still subconsciously said, "Mom, lower your head."
Sui Yuling didn't understand what was going on, but she still lowered her head as her daughter asked.
The next second, she heard a familiar voice coming from not far away——
"Yes, Lao Zheng, just take Shuyi and I's car back home!"
Suddenly, Sui Yuling felt the air around her still, and she could hear no sound. Her mind was blank, with only that sentence lingering in her mind.
Something in my heart seemed to be broken.
If there is any challenge in distinguishing the most familiar voices in her life, Yan Zhaoting's voice must be at the top of the list of voices she is familiar with.
Perhaps because he had been drinking, his voice was a little drunken, but she still recognized the other person's voice instantly.
But why? Who is Shuyi?
Thinking of this, Sui Yuling came back to her senses instantly. Just when she was about to turn around to see the other person clearly, her hand was grabbed by someone.
Sui Yuling then realized that Yan Sui had left her seat at some point, held her hands in her own, and squatted in front of her.
She shook her head gently at herself, and the look in her eyes when she looked at her stopped her from looking back.
"My home and Luwan are in two different directions. If I take your car, you'll have to change the car, right? I can just take a taxi back."
"I'm not going back to Luwan tonight, I'm going to Shuyi's place."
"Yes, Lao Zheng, you live in Dongcheng, right? I live there too, so it's just on my way there."
"Is that so? Then I won't be polite with you two! Thank you for your help, Shuyi."
The sound of a group of people came from near and far away. Noticing that they had reached the door, Yan Sui finally released the hand that was holding Sui Yuling.
Sui Yuling suddenly raised her head. Right in front of her, her husband was leaning against another woman. They were surrounded by a group of friends she knew, but no one stepped forward to object to her husband's intimacy with the other woman.
Everyone gathered together, chatting and laughing, as if they were used to seeing Yan Zhaoting and the other two together.
How many meals had they shared together without her knowing?
As she was slowly forced out of his circle of friends, he brought another woman into their circle.
Everyone knew, everyone was hiding it from her.
The group chatted for a while at the hotel entrance before dispersing and leaving.
The restaurant was still noisy and did not return to peace after the group of people left.
Although the atmosphere was lively, Sui Yuling felt that all the sounds that fell into her ears were extremely harsh.
Feeling her fingers being gently pulled, Sui Yuling lowered her eyes and asked with trembling lips, "You knew about this a long time ago, right?"
Yan Sui stared at her quietly and did not deny: "Yes."
"So you said you wanted to come here to eat, and you did it on purpose, wanting me to know this, right?"
Seeing the pain in Sui Yuling's eyes, Yan Sui felt sour in her heart, but she still suppressed her tears and nodded: "Yes, Mom."
Sui Yuling closed her eyes with a "swish", and her hand, which was held by Yan Sui's fingertips, couldn't stop shaking.
She bit her lips hard, and even with her eyes closed, her tightly furrowed brows revealed her inner struggle.
At this moment, Yan Sui didn't know what else she could do.
She didn't know what to say to comfort her mother.
He could only tighten his grip on Sui Yuling's hand, hoping that the warmth of his palm could give his mother some strength.
After an unknown amount of time, Yan Sui felt her clenched fist loosen.
The moment Sui Yuling opened her eyes, a tear trickled down her cheek, sliding down from her jaw to her chin, and finally dripping onto the back of Yan Sui's hand with a "plop".
Sui Yuling pulled out the hand that Yan Sui was holding and wiped away tears from her eyes.
She raised her hand and touched Yan Sui's head, and said in a hoarse voice: "It's Mom who is sorry for you."
You still have to worry about these things for your mother.
