Chapter 75 The belated love is cheaper than grass
"Chu Jingchuan, I really liked him. But he has a fiancée. I guess he's married to his fiancée now."
"That was the first time I fell in love at first sight in my life, and it will probably be the last time in my life."
"Okay, Xuedan, it's getting late, it's time to go to bed. You and Chen Jialian have two babies, and your relationship is quite stable. Don't think about the past anymore." Lin Xi advised.
"Xixi, you are right."
"Hmm~"
"Good night, Xixi."
"An~"
The next morning, not long after Lin Xi woke up, Xuedan also walked out of the room with sleepy eyes.
After washing up together, the two of them went downstairs to eat.
Breakfast in Singapore is very different from that in China.
The bread comes with jam and butter, but Lin Xi likes to have a whole piece of toast without any spread.
The dishes are generally sweet, and even the boiled fish, Lin Xi can taste the sweetness.
However, Lin Xi never gets tired of the taste of home.
Meat buns with porridge and a few chopsticks of pickled vegetables made by Wang Ma, this is what she loves most.
"Xixi, your aunt is a great cook." Xuedan told the truth.
"Then you are welcome to come to my house for breakfast often." Xiuyun said.
"Thank you, Auntie. You're so kind."
Her mouth is still as sweet as if she had eaten candied fruit.
Xiuyun couldn't help laughing.
After breakfast, Xuedan was about to leave because she had two children at home and as a mother she was always worried.
Only after seeing Xuedan off did Lin Xi dare to go see her own child.
I don’t know why, but I always feel like a thief in front of Xuedan.
Xiuyun is particularly good at raising children and takes good care of Chu Nian and Chu Ning.
She treats all three equally. All three are her daughter's children, grandsons and granddaughters.
Chu Ning is the most beautiful, with fair skin and very long eyelashes.
Moreover, the girl is quiet and rarely cries. She is more obedient than her older and younger brothers.
Afterwards, Lin Xi asked her mother who was managing the Lin Group now.
"Me and your Uncle Zhang."
Xiuyun wasn't completely clueless; on the contrary, she understood everything about business. The "Uncle Zhang" she mentioned was also a senior executive of the Lin Group. They had built the empire together, and the board of directors wouldn't let the Lin Group lose money.
Even if the sky falls, there are still tall people to hold it up.
"We are also considering selecting a few outstanding children of these senior executives to work in the company."
"It's pretty good." Lin Xi said.
"Well, don't worry." Xiuyun wanted to say something, but stopped.
Lin Xi saw it and said, "It's okay, Mom, just tell me what you want to say."
"Oh, that's right. Mom wants you to take good care of yourself and not worry about the company. You started working at Lin's before you even graduated from college, and you've been working almost non-stop for three or four years. Now it's rare for you to get some rest."
I also heard from Xiaolan that you had a miscarriage and need to take good care of your body..."
The fire took away the baby in Lin Xi's belly.
"Mom, you're the best."
Lin Xi hugged her mother.
Now she loves to listen to her mother talk and she likes to listen to whatever her mother says.
"Why haven't you seen Xiaofu yet?"
"Mom will go with you to look for it in the back garden."
"good."
So Lin Xi took her mother's arm and went to the back garden.
Xiuyun gently called Xiaofu's name, and Xiaofu crawled out from under the swing.
It has grown into a big cat and is very fat.
"Meow~ Meow~"
Xiao Fu walked slowly towards Lin Xi.
Sticking to Lin Xi's trouser legs, acting coquettishly and cutely.
Lin Xi squatted down and picked up Xiao Fu, "You are so big now."
The whole body is plump and it feels like touching cotton when you rub it.
"Meow~Meow~"
"Think about it, Xiao Fu is already over two years old, and more than two years have passed."
At the age of twenty-six, life seems to be gradually taking shape.
At fifty, one knows one's destiny, but at twenty-six, Lin Xi has already seen through the mundane world.
I have been in love for more than ten years, and have been persistent for more than ten years, but in the end, the obsession is too deep and the fate is too shallow.
…
…
I am too embarrassed to see Chen Yan again, but Jingbei is just that small.
You might occasionally run into Chen Yan when you go out for dinner with Xuedan.
Xuedan walked up to greet him casually, and Lin Xi just wanted to find a hole to crawl into.
Chen Yan was the person she least wanted to see for the rest of her life.
If we meet again someday, how will I greet you? With tears, with silence.
Lin Xi was the latter and remained silent throughout.
Chen Yan also glanced at her calmly, then said to the people he was traveling with, "Let's go."
They passed each other.
Lin Xi kept scratching her palms, her hands were itchy, and she really wanted to hold Chen Yan's hand. Actually, I think we were pretty good before. We only had each other, and I only had you.
At this moment, she hated Chu Jingchuan again.
Why, why?
A forced melon is not only not sweet, but also bitter.
Tears welled up in her eyes, and she tilted her head back, trying to stop them from falling.
However, it was very lively today. Not only did I meet Chen Yan, but even Madam Gu was here.
Mrs. Gu had afternoon tea with a group of ladies.
Lin Xi held his forehead.
This Chinese teahouse is obviously very close to the Gu family.
Now that she has seen her mother-in-law, Lin Xi must go forward.
Mrs. Gu was talking to someone with a smile just a second ago, but her smile froze when she saw Lin Xi.
He was also a respectable person. He said to the old sisters, "You go first, I'll be there soon."
I found a place to sit down with Lin Xi and talked alone for a while.
"I don't blame you. Whether Gu Zhaoyun is my grandson or not, I don't blame you either."
"Why don't you blame me?"
"It was you who accompanied Qingheng on the last journey of her life."
After a pause, he continued, "My son is gone, Zhaoyun is not our child, and in essence, you are no longer Madam Gu."
Mrs. Gu knew how much Gu Qingheng loved Lin Xi. Even if he hadn't married Lin Xi, he would have gotten sick. But since he had married Lin Xi the year before he fell ill, he had no regrets in his life.
She also lost her husband in middle age, and gave birth to four children for the Gu family... After her husband left, she was the only woman who supported the Gu family.
Why should women make things difficult for other women? Mrs. Gu can often understand Lin Xi because she is a woman.
"I'm really surprised you could say that."
"That's nothing. Life isn't measured by the number of years you live."
"Yes, living to 100 years old is a vicious curse." She wanted to die with Chu Jingchuan several times, but now she is still sitting here.
"The day we were born, we were destined to die one day. I just hope that in these few short decades, I will have no regrets. Whether I am 100 years old or 30, nothing will matter as long as I have no worries." Mrs. Gu said with relief.
Lin Xi forced a bitter smile.
Gu Qingheng was indeed free of worries and had no regrets.
But Lin Xi does.
Whenever she mentioned him, her heart would ache.
Mrs. Gu's eyes were red, and she said, "Don't make your friends wait anxiously, and don't make my old sisters wait anxiously. Lin Xi, you are a good child. Goodbye, I hope you can find your happiness."
"Okay, Madam Gu, goodbye."
The former mother-in-law and daughter-in-law turned around and left each other. This brief farewell meant that they had no further relationship.
When Lin Xi came back, Xuedan asked, "What were you talking about? The food is getting cold."
As she spoke, she put away her phone and prepared to eat.
"Then why don't you eat it first."
"It's okay. I'll have them serve the fish, meat and shrimp soon. Let's eat the appetizers first."
"Well, nothing to talk about."
Lin Xi picked up a steamed bun.
A sip of broth and a mouthful of meatballs, dipped in a little vinegar, and the appetite in my stomach was immediately aroused.
"Hey, I don't know what kind of hard life you and Mr. Jing have been through."
Look how miserable the child is, but he eats the dumplings with relish.
He really didn't want to mention Chu Jingchuan in front of Xuedan. He took a sip of juice and said, "The taste of his hometown doesn't suit my authentic Beijing taste."
"oh."
"Besides, I don't like eating with him."
"Can I meet Mr. Jing?" Xuedan asked innocently.
Just this one sentence choked Lin Xi.
“Cough cough cough…”
"What's wrong, Xixi?"
"Oh, it's okay. You can't see him, he's not here..."
"Oh that's a shame. I wanted you to see what your current partner looks like."
Lin Xi gave a forced smile.
After dinner, I drove home.
Since both of them have children, Gu Zhaoyun can be weaned now, but Chu Nian and Chu Ning cannot.
When I got home, it was dark.
As soon as Lin Xi got out of the car, she saw Chen Yan's car, and the license plate number was still so conspicuous.
He exhaled and walked into the villa.
I saw Xiuyun holding Gu Zhaoyun, who was dressed in soft and cute clothes.
When they saw Lin Xi coming back, they all started giggling.
"Mom..." the little guy called out incoherently.
Lin Xi stepped forward with a smile, "Who is going to take my baby?"
As he said this, he snatched his son from Xiuyun's arms.
He looked at Chen Yan with a half-smile.
But when he saw Chen Yan's face, his pupils trembled slightly.
I was so infatuated with someone in the past, but now we have to go our separate ways.
"Mom has a new child. It's better for us Zhaoyun to stay with Dad." Shen Yan said coldly.
Looking at Lin Xi, it means giving his son to him.
Lin Xi hesitated to speak, tears in her eyes as she said, "My son will live very well with his father. As long as you are well, I will be very happy even if you are not by my side."
At the moment when tears fell, Lin Xi also smiled.
Chen Yan was very calm.
Lin Xi looked at the man she had loved for more than ten years. He was wearing a dark suit and showed a bit of tenderness when he looked at the child. She really wanted to hug Chen Yan again.
Unfortunately, I am no longer qualified.
Chen Yan has appeared in her world since childhood and continues to do so until now.
It’s good that you have loved me. What I regret is that I can’t love you forever.
After all my hard work, I finally made you leave. Only then did I realize that I was wrong. I thought I loved you deeply, from the beginning to the end.
…
Lin Xi went upstairs in a daze, cursing Chu Jingchuan eighty thousand times in her heart.
He doesn't love Chu Jingchuan.
Chu Jingchuan is a bastard!
Crying, tears can't stop falling.
The whole person seemed to have lost all strength. Lying on the bed, the moment the brain was deprived of oxygen, Lin Xi fell into a short sleep.
But soon, she dreamed of Chu Jingchuan and woke up in fright.
A man got out of bed to find water to drink, his throat was dry and his eyes were dry.
After taking two steps, she felt dizzy and fainted.
In the next life, can our fate be deeper, even deeper!
Lin Xi never expected that Chu Jingchuan would show up unexpectedly.
…
The first person to discover that Lin Xi was unconscious was Xiao Fu.
Xiao Fu kept meowing.
It was late at night and there was no sound in the villa. Xiaofu's cry woke up Xiuyun who also lived on the second floor.
Xiuyun was so annoyed that she came in her pajamas.
When I pushed the door open, I saw Lin Xi fainted on the ground.
Hurry up and grab your phone and call emergency services.
When the sky was just getting light, Lin Xi was lying on the hospital bed, receiving an IV drip.
People with anemia and hypoglycemia should not be overly happy or sad.
The doctor recommended that I gain weight.
I am too thin now and am already in sub-health.
Ever since she and Chu Jingchuan lost their child, Lin Xi felt that she was losing her hair and felt dizzy from time to time, but perhaps she didn't pay much attention to it.
It was already noon when the drip finished.
Xiuyun pulled out the needle for Lin Xi in a haggard manner, and the doctor said that she could wake up in the afternoon.
If she wakes up a little later, it doesn’t matter, because Miss Lin fell asleep on her own.
In order to help Lin Xi gain weight and increase her business, she went to buy ingredients according to the diet prescription prescribed by the doctor and went home to ask Wang Ma to make dinner for Miss Lin.
Afraid that Wang Ma wouldn't understand, I kept reminding her.
When it was dark, Xiuyun returned to the hospital with a sumptuous dinner and pushed the door into the ward.
Lin Xi just woke up.
Xiuyun's feet hurt. She should have stopped wearing high heels.
Just sit down and rest for a while.
"It smells so good..." Lin Xi said weakly.
Xiuyun stood up again, set the table for Lin Xi, took out the food, and placed it on the table one by one.
"I'm sorry, Mom. I'm so old, but I still make you worry."
"You're not in good health, and this isn't what you want. I'm old, and sometimes I just can't do what I want. Just like five years ago, I could wear five-centimeter heels, but now I have three-centimeter heels, and my feet hurt when I go up and down the stairs."
"Why don't you see Chu Jingchuan? I heard you all got your marriage certificate."
"Yes, I got it a month ago." Chu Jingchuan insisted on registering for the marriage certificate...
In fact, Lin Xi really doesn’t want to!
"Forget it, don't mention him."
"Why not? He's your husband. Even if my daughter is getting married for the third time, she's still 26 years old, beautiful as a flower, and comes from a distinguished family. How many men can't marry her..."
Thank you Ms. Xiuyun for thinking so highly of Lin Xi.
"It's a pity that I didn't get what I wanted in the end. Only when we lose something do we know how to cherish it."
Belated affection is cheaper than grass.
"What's the point of cherishing something only after you've lost it? Some things are lost forever. Just like spilled water, it's impossible to recover it."
Lin Xi talked to himself.
The hand that picked up the chopsticks trembled.
Maybe it's because I haven't moved for too long.
After holding it for a while, I grasped it.
Take a bite of the ribs.
"Mother Wang did it."
“Make your favorite sweet and sour flavor.”
"Um!"
I drank pig's trotters and ate spinach soup.
I took a few more bites of each dish and found it very delicious, so I ate more.
After eating half of a bowl of rice and putting down her chopsticks, Xiuyun said, "How can this be possible? You only eat so little!"
Does every mother feel that her child doesn’t eat enough? Anyway, Lin Xi’s mother has always wanted her daughter to eat more!
However, Lin Xi always had at most one bowl of rice.
