Chapter 2056 Assist
When she divorced, Wu Xinqing wanted to escape from the familiar place and people, but that didn't mean she could easily abandon her two sons.
But what she was most worried about was actually Rong Ye. After all, Chen Yuan was older and had long been sensible, so she was not worried at all.
But Rong Ye was still young. When she had just been abroad for a while, she heard that Shi Guangyuan might remarry. She couldn't help but imagine that his stepmother would abuse Rong Ye. She was afraid that his stepmother would take her anger out on her ignorant little son, so she immediately returned to China and took Rong Ye to live with her.
Later, the news of Shi Guangyuan's remarriage came to nothing. She was too busy with work to take care of Rong Ye, so she sent Rong Ye back home. However, she would make time to accompany Rong Ye every year, and would regularly bring her youngest son to live abroad for a short time.
But when it comes to dealing with Chen Yuan, it is completely different.
After the divorce, she and her eldest son became more and more distant. Now, when she wants to narrow the distance between them, she finds that the connection between mother and son has almost been broken.
Wu Xinqing knew that she had failed to fulfill her duties as a mother over the years and owed Chen Yuan too much.
To Shen Yuan, she was now just a mother in name only...
Thinking of this, her eyes filled with tears.
She turned her back, sighed, and was wiping the corners of her eyes with her fingers when a tissue was handed to her.
Wu Xinqing turned her head and saw Xiaoyu standing beside her.
She felt a little embarrassed for losing her composure in front of her juniors. After taking the tissue, she wiped the corner of her eyes and said thank you in an awkward tone.
Xiao Yu hesitated for a moment and said, "Actually, Chen Yuan cares about you a lot, but he's not very good at expressing it."
Wu Xinqing was slightly surprised. Xiaoyu didn't look like a meticulous girl, but he didn't expect that she could carefully understand what he was thinking.
But she knew Xiaoyu was comforting her. After all, she herself had a feeling about Chen Yuan's attitude towards her as a mother.
The reason why Shen Yuan was still willing to talk to her was entirely because she was her mother, and Shen Yuan was a sensible child, so even if he didn't want to be close to her, he at least put her in the position of a mother to respect her, and was willing to listen to her, of course, as long as it didn't involve issues of principle.
This girl named Xiaoyu in front of me is Shen Yuan’s principle problem...
So no matter how he tried to dissuade them from being together, Chen Yuan didn't listen.
Because of this incident, Shen Yuan had more opinions about her, and the gap between them became deeper...
She sighed secretly, then turned to Xiaoyu and said, "Anyway, thank you for comforting me..."
"Auntie, I'm not trying to comfort you. He's told me more than once that he runs the company simply because he has this responsibility and can't escape it. But what he wants most is not career success, but a family meal sitting around the table. He also told me that he's just afraid of his hopes being dashed, so he no longer looks forward to you coming home."
Xiaoyu's words made Wu Xinqing's eyes sore: "Did he really tell you that?"
Xiaoyu blinked and nodded: "Of course, after you and uncle divorced, he also hoped that you would remarry. But he never said it, because even if he had said it before, it would not change the fact that you separated, so he always acted indifferent and said that marriage is your own business and has nothing to do with him."
Wu Xinqing never thought that this was what Chen Yuan was thinking in his heart.
And Xiaoyu had to tell her all these things.
She really doesn't seem to understand her son at all...
Just when she was feeling frustrated, Xiao Yu asked tentatively: "Auntie, I don't mean anything else, I just want to ask you on behalf of Shen Yuan, is there really no possibility for you and uncle to get back together?"
Wu Xinqing smiled bleakly: "I'm afraid I'll disappoint you. Chen Yuan's father hasn't contacted me for three months. Maybe he has completely given up on me. After all, he has pursued me for many years, but I didn't agree..."
Xiaoyu blinked: "So, you also want to get back together now, but you're just too embarrassed to take the initiative?"
Wu Xinqing was stunned for a moment, "Did I express this meaning?"
Xiaoyu smiled and nodded: "Yes, Auntie."
“…”
Wu Xinqing thought back to what she had said. Well, she seemed to have expressed this meaning. She couldn't help but stroke her hair...
What had happened to her today? She had lost her composure repeatedly in front of this little girl. Just now, she, who usually never cried in front of others, had shed tears in front of Cheng Xiaoyu. Now, she had carelessly let her guard down, letting her heart be seen through.
She once again looked at the girl in front of her with scrutiny.
The question that has been bothering me for many days suddenly has an answer.
She seemed to know why her son liked this girl.
She understood Chen Yuan's character. He was very methodical and usually very boring. In fact, it was a bit like she let it go.
Cheng Xiaoyu, in addition to her beautiful appearance, is also a person who dares to speak and act, and is also very cunning and thoughtful, which just makes up for the dullness of her son.
If nothing else, it should be easier for Shen Yuan to be with her.
No wonder Chen Yuan said that he liked being with Cheng Xiaoyu because he felt happy.
Thinking back to the girls he had found for Shen Yuan, compared to Cheng Xiaoyu, they were too proper and seemed a bit boring.
She said to Cheng Xiaoyu: "I just said that about getting back together, don't take it seriously."
Xiaoyu nodded obediently: "Okay, Auntie, but Uncle also said that he has been pursuing you for so long, and you haven't turned back. Maybe you really don't like him, so he has no confidence to contact you again."
Wu Xinqing couldn't help but wonder, was it because of this reason that Shi Guangyuan no longer came to look for her?
In front of the child, she suppressed her fluctuating emotions and asked, "Did he tell you that?"
Cheng Xiaoyu nodded very seriously and said that it was absolutely her uncle's original words, not a single word was wrong, and he didn't say it to her alone. It was two days ago when they went to the manor to see her uncle. When everyone was having dinner, Mu Xin brought up the topic and mentioned her uncle and aunt's marriage. Her uncle said this in front of everyone.
Seeing that Xiaoyu spoke so sincerely, Wu Xinqing felt that Xiaoyu was not lying and there was no need for her to lie.
He thought that Guang Yuan was really going too far. If he didn't want to pursue her, then that was fine, but he actually said so much in front of the child, making her seem so unkind and as if he had never been considerate of him for all these years.
He doesn't say anything when she takes advantage of him, but when she is rejected, he says she is cold-hearted.
Then I thought again, no, it seems that this is what time feels like.
Maybe he said it on purpose to the children and asked them to pass the message to her.
Since Shi Guangyuan said he didn't have the confidence to pursue her anymore, she would see how long he could last without contacting her. Anyway, it was impossible for her to take the initiative.
I just don't know, if I keep waiting like this, will Shi Guangyuan really lose confidence?
He glanced at Cheng Xiaoyu again. This girl seemed to be easily tricked into talking, so he decided to ask her a few more questions.
Wu Xinqing cleared his throat slightly and said calmly, "What else did he say to you?"
