Chapter 85 Almost Discovered
The problem is that other than saying thank you, I really don’t know how else to express my meaning.
I replied with an awkward emoticon, but Xu Zhengnan didn't reply to me.
Since I resumed contact with my mother, I feel much better and feel that my life has hope again. If I can leave Shen Yixiao and return to my parents, I will do it without hesitation.
"Wife, you seem to be in a good mood these two days." Shen Yixiao noticed that my mood had improved, and he said with a smile on his face.
I took a bite of the fried egg on the plate. It was delicious. As expected, when good things happen, people feel refreshed and even their appetite improves.
"Well, isn't the store going to be ready soon? I haven't started my own business before, and I'm looking forward to it." I smiled generously to Shen Yixiao and answered in a relaxed tone.
Shen Yixiao sighed, feeling somewhat guilty, "If I had known that the way to make you happy was so simple, I would have agreed to you earlier. I used to always want to support you and not let you suffer, but now I think I was wrong."
I smiled but said nothing, thinking that after Shen Yixiao went to the company, I would go buy clothes and bags for my mother.
I sold all the jewelry, clothes and bags in my home second-hand, and then bought a batch of identical high-quality imitations at a low price and kept them at home. I only kept a few commonly used items that were authentic.
It will be difficult for me to take these things away in the future, so it is safest to convert them all into money and put them in my card.
Now if I want to buy some gifts for my mother, I can use it at will, and Shen Yixiao has no grasp of my financial situation at all.
He is afraid that I will take control of the finances and doesn't like me to be independent. His gifts on any holidays will never be in the form of cash or bank transfers, because he is trying to prevent me from leaving him one day when I grow stronger.
“Wife, there is something I need to report to you and ask for your consent.” Shen Yixiao saw that I was in a good mood and spoke tentatively.
"What?" I asked.
"Regarding Secretary Lu's resignation, I originally planned to let her leave as soon as possible, but these days I found that the abilities of other people are questionable and they can't replace her. There are many tasks that need to be taken over, which will take time, so she may have to leave slowly." When he said this, it was all from a work perspective.
It sounds like no problem, but I think it's a big problem.
Because I have contacted Sun Xiaoling in the past two days, and she has also finished filming the variety show trailer. Director Li mentioned Lu Xiaoyun to her and was originally very optimistic about her, but Lu Xiaoyun performed too poorly during the interview, so he is a little hesitant now.
Director Li was hesitant, and Lu Xiaoyun couldn't enter the circle so quickly, so she could only find a way to stay in the company first.
I understood it in my heart, but I didn't expose Shen Yixiao. While he was busy with his secret relationship with Lu Xiaoyun, I could just accompany my mother.
"Okay, you arrange it." I had no objection.
Shen Yixiao was overjoyed, "Wife, what I like most is your understanding. If you hadn't supported all my decisions, I wouldn't be where I am today."
Listening to his sweet words, I responded with a fake smile, and then he left home and went to the company.
As soon as he left, I went out to see my mother.
My mother and I made an appointment to go shopping together, and she would be back before Li Qingming finishes school.
I was trying to compensate my mother, so I wanted to buy her a lot of things. My mother refused most of the things and only accepted a pair of ordinary priced shoes.
"Xiaoyue, you don't have to do this. Keep the money for yourself." My mother patted my hands and said gently.
"But I have nothing..." I felt guilty. I gave them nothing all these years.
My mother smiled and said, "Didn't you give us a painting? Zhengnan brought it to us and said you chose it."
I was a little surprised, thinking back to that time when we met at the art exhibition. I had just mentioned it casually, but I didn't expect Xu Zhengnan to actually buy the sunflower painting and give it to my parents.
I felt a warm feeling in my heart. Even though he was very cold and unwilling to pay attention to me, he still chose to help me make up for my regrets behind my back.
Xu Zhengnan and Shen Yixiao are like two extremes. One is cold on the outside but warm on the inside, always helping me silently, while the other speaks nicer words than anyone else but stabs me in the back again and again.
When talking about Xu Zhengnan, my mother talked incessantly about our childhoods, with great interest.
"You fell into a ditch when you were six years old. Do you remember? Zhengnan ran back to call us. Fortunately, he called us in time. The water in the ditch was quite deep and you almost drowned. In fact, he is your lifesaver."
"Your Aunt Yang likes you the most and often jokes about arranging a marriage for you. Your father and I didn't agree. Although we all think Zhengnan is good, we still have to respect your opinion."
"I never thought you would meet Shen Yixiao. It's really fate."
As he spoke, he came to Shen Yixiao again.
I hate hearing Shen Yixiao's name from my mother's mouth. It feels like I'm defiling her mouth.
So I quickly interrupted, "Mom, should I buy a basketball for Qingming? He seems to like playing basketball very much."
After being interrupted by me, my mother knew that I didn’t want to talk about this anymore, so she nodded helplessly and said, “Okay, he will definitely be very happy.”
After buying the basketball, I looked at the time and it was almost noon, so I chose a nearby restaurant to eat.
In order to have some peace and quiet and to chat, I chose a private room with just my mother and I. We had a lot to talk about, as if we wanted to make up for the communication we had missed over the years.
Just then, the waiter opened the door and came to serve the dishes. My seat was right in front of the door, and outside the door, Shen Yixiao, Meng Zicheng, and Liang Feng appeared.
At this moment, my heart was lifted up.
If Shen Yixiao saw that my mother had returned and I was still in contact with her, I was afraid that he would become suspicious again, and might even hold a grudge against my parents for what happened in the past and seek revenge on them.
I don't know what the three of them were talking about, and they didn't look over here. Liang Feng suddenly turned his head and glanced. When he saw me, a hint of surprise flashed across his face, and then his eyes fell on my mother's profile.
I clenched my hands and my palms were sweaty.
Shen Yixiao took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, put them between his lips, and turned his head unintentionally. When his sight was about to come in, Liang Feng pulled him and Meng Zicheng and walked to the side, "Go outside to smoke."
As I watched their figures disappear, I let out a long breath, but the goose bumps all over my body had not disappeared yet.
Five minutes later, Liang Feng sent a message: Is that your mother?
Me: Well, are you going to tell Shen Yixiao?
Liang Feng: You know he is afraid that you will get in touch with your family again.
Me: I also know that it was he who sent out the news that I was infertile, to prove his deep love for me and that he and Lu Xiaoyun were innocent.
Liang Feng: ...
He must be very surprised. How did I know this? The last time I went to the hospital to see him, he didn't tell me this.
