Chapter 2 Parents
Liu Wangxue happily went to the bank to cash the check and transferred it to her own account. Then she blocked all of Mu Jingsheng’s contact information and had a delicious hot pot meal.
It was already dark when she got home. She found the cardboard box she had used for moving, packed all of Mu Jingsheng's personal belongings and the gifts he gave her into it, and threw them into the trash can downstairs.
The air in the room became fresher.
She lay on the sofa and called her mother.
The call was connected in a second, and Gu Xuelan's friendly voice came: "Xu Xu, why aren't you live streaming today?"
Liu Nanshan was wrapping dumplings at the dining table in the living room. His powerful voice could still be clearly heard by Liu Wangxue from two or three meters away: "Your mother has become accustomed to watching your live broadcast. She even ate one less bowl of rice when you didn't broadcast today!"
It’s great, the timing of my rebirth is great, Liu Wangxue thought, and then she couldn’t help crying: “Dad, I miss you so much——”
Gu Xuelan turned on the speaker and quickly walked to Liu Nanshan. The couple suddenly panicked. They asked her what happened and comforted her, telling her not to cry.
Liu Wangxue really couldn't control herself, so she cried into her phone for a long time. The longing in her heart flowed out with her tears, and it was not until a moment later that she was relieved. Liu Wangxue wiped her tears and snot, and finally smiled and said, "Dad, Mom, Mu Jingsheng and I broke up."
When this name was mentioned again, Liu Wangxue felt no ripples in her heart.
Gu Xuelan and Liu Nanshan looked at each other, and Liu Nanshan stopped making dumplings.
Gu Xuelan asked worriedly, "Why did you break up suddenly when everything was fine?"
Liu Wangxue's tone was calm, without any ups and downs, revealing a kind of indifference that came from letting go and letting go, as if he was objectively recounting someone else's experience: "He doesn't love me, he's just with me to kill time, and he's getting engaged soon."
Liu Nanshan was so hot-tempered that he slammed the table and flour flew up into the air: "He dares! Xuxu, just wait, Dad will go find him now and will definitely help you vent your anger!"
Liu Wangxue laughed a few times, a tear oozed out of the corner of her eye, she raised her hand to wipe it away, and said, "Oh, Dad, let's part ways in peace, forget it."
Liu Nanshan even picked up his rolling pin and said, "What do you mean by parting ways amicably? He is bullying you! How can we just let it go?"
Gu Xuelan, who has been a teacher for more than 30 years, glanced at him, and Liu Nanshan's rolling pin fell on the dumpling skin and directly crushed it.
Gu Xuelan felt that the breakup was not the point of the phone call, but she still tried to comfort him, saying, "It's okay, Xuxu. My daughter is so beautiful and successful in her career. She can find anyone she wants. Don't be sad, okay."
"Mom, I'm not sad. I just need your help with something."
Liu Nanshan stopped what he was doing and held his breath with Gu Xuelan.
Then I heard Liu Wangxue say, "I'm pregnant and want to abort the baby. Mom, I may have to trouble you to take care of me for a few days."
Liu Wangxue's light-hearted words were like a bomb, leaving his parents speechless for a long time.
Liu Nanshan slammed the rolling pin against the edge of the table, leaving a dent on the cherry wood table. "Asshole! How dare Mu Jingsheng do that! I must settle the score with him!"
"Dad, don't be angry. I just found out today, and he doesn't know yet." Liu Wangxue was afraid that his father would get angry and do something bad, so he quickly said, "Mom, please try to persuade Dad!"
She really didn't know that her father would react so strongly. After all, her father was no longer around when she had an accidental miscarriage in her previous life.
"Calm down. Didn't you hear that your daughter is getting anxious?" Gu Xuelan pressed down Liu Nanshan's hand and said to Liu Wangxue, "Xuxu, I'll book a flight right away and go there with your dad. Before we get there, you stay at home and don't do anything. Do you understand?"
"Understood, Mom. I'll book the tickets later." Liu Wangxue breathed a sigh of relief. "I'll wait for you at home."
"Promise!"
"I promise!"
The next afternoon, Liu Wangxue drove to the airport to pick up her parents.
As soon as Gu Xuelan entered the room, she found that a lot of things were missing from the room. They all belonged to Mu Jingsheng. She asked, "Xuxu, did you really break up?"
Liu Wangxue hugged her mother affectionately, without any sadness or loneliness after the breakup on her face, which made Gu Xuelan a little unbelievable.
"We've broken up. It couldn't be more true!" Liu Wangxue smiled and nodded, then said, "Mom and Dad, please sit down first. I'll go wash some fruit."
Gu Xuelan looked at Liu Wangxue's back, poked Liu Nanshan with her slender fingers, frowned slightly, and whispered, "I think there's something wrong with her. How can she be so happy after breaking up?"
Gu Xuelan knew very well how sentimental her daughter was. She had a relationship in college, and after the breakup, she cried for half a month before she recovered.
Liu Nanshan was in a position where as long as his daughter was happy, everything was fine: "I've long felt that Mu Jingsheng was unreliable, so it's better for us to break up." He was determined to find an opportunity to teach that guy a lesson.
Liu Nanshan took out the insulated box from his travel bag and shouted cheerfully to the kitchen, "Xuxu, stop doing that. Come here. Dad made some dumplings yesterday. He steamed them before we left. They're still hot. Come and try some."
"Coming!" Liu Wangxue responded happily, walking over with a plate of small kumquats in her left hand and a plate of large strawberries in her right hand.
Gu Xuelan took it and put it on the table. Liu Nanshan quickly handed the chopsticks to his daughter and took out a small box of dipping sauce.
Liu Wangxue ate them one by one, feeling very satisfied, and praised vaguely: "Dad's cooking skills are great!"
The couple looked at him lovingly, and Liu Nanshan said cheerfully, "Eat more. Dad will be here during this period. I'll make you some every day if you want to eat."
Liu Wangxue was so happy that she was about to burst into bubbles: "Dad, you eat fruit, Mom, you eat too."
Gu Xuelan tried one of each and didn't like it very much: "These fruits are not in season now, and they don't taste like they used to."
Liu Nanshan also felt that: "Yes, tomatoes are becoming less and less delicious. When I was a kid, we grew our own tomatoes. They were sandy, juicy, sour and sweet. They were so delicious."
The family of three talked about vegetables and fruits together.
After Liu Wangxue finished eating, Gu Xuelan asked, "Xuxu, have you really decided to abort this child?"
Liu Wangxue curled up on the sofa, looking sleepy after eating. She said nonchalantly, "Well, the doctor said this is the sixth week, so it's just the right time to get the shot."
Gu Xuelan looked at Liu Wangxue and said seriously, "Xuxu, abortion is very harmful to your body. You must consider it carefully. If you choose to give birth to the baby, we can raise it."
