Crying
After starting his doctorate, Chen Qian'an became busy, and winter traveling was the most direct way to experience this.
After experiencing the wonderful days when Chen Qian'an had just finished her doctoral exams, Dong You felt very uncomfortable when she could not often come to have lunch with her after Chen Qian'an started her doctoral studies.
Speaking of being busy, Chen Qi'an wasn't as busy as Dong You. It was just that his schedule was too fragmented, and he rarely had the chance to spend almost two hours rushing to Dong You's company to be with her during lunch.
Chen Qi'an himself felt very uncomfortable and sometimes was a little absent-minded in class.
I couldn't help but wonder if Dongyou had eaten and what she had eaten. Then I secretly took out my phone and sent her a message.
Winter travel most of the time will reply: [Miss you. 】
Sometimes Dongyou would also take the initiative to send messages, so sometimes after class Chen Qian would see Dongyou send several messages similar to "I miss you so much".
For some reason, his teachers don’t allow him to use his cell phone during class or go to the bathroom during class.
This made Chen Qianan very uncomfortable, and he felt like he was back in high school a long time ago.
Not to mention that when he was an undergraduate and graduate student, he could take out his mobile phone openly, and he would do other things in class at that time.
But most of the time he still kept an ear to listen to what the teacher said.
It takes time to adapt to a new environment and a new model, not to mention that Chen Qi'an only saw Dong You a few times a day after school started, and they fell asleep after just a few words.
Both of them were very tired and went to bed at that time.
They maintained this kind of life for several months, not seeing each other during the day, meeting at night to chat, and sometimes even having dinner together if they were lucky.
What broke this strange and very orderly situation was an accident.
One day, both of them received calls from their mothers.
Dongyou sat in the office looking at this month's report. It was the end of the month and there was always a lot of things to do.
When working, Dongyou usually mutes his mobile phone. I don’t know what happened that day. When he picked up the water cup on the table to drink water, he glanced at the mobile phone screen and saw that his mother was calling him.
She picked up the phone: "Hello? Mom?"
She first heard very low sobbing sounds.
She was so frightened that she immediately sat up straight, her heart panicking: "Mom?! Mom?! What's wrong?? Why are you crying?? Is someone bullying you??"
"No! No! Xiaoyou... I... I really don't know what to do..." Wang Huan's voice was trembling with tears, and although he tried his best to conceal it, it was still clear to his ears.
Dong You had never seen Wang Huan cry. Growing up, her mother always smiled more than she frowned.
Dong You really hated his father, but he had to admit that he was a very good husband.
Dong Qun's violent temper is almost well-known throughout the Dong family. It is said that he has restrained himself now that he is older, but when he was young, there were countless company executives who were yelled at and cried by him.
After marriage, judging by the winter trip, my father treated my mother very well. She never had to worry about food, clothing, and daily necessities. Except for not giving my mother love, he gave her almost everything a husband could give and fulfilled his obligations.
She always felt that her mother cried so sadly this time...and it had something to do with Dong Qun.
A long time ago, she was still willing to listen to Dong Qun. At that time, she thought she had the best parents in the world, and her parents loved each other very much. She was the happiest child in the world.
But as she grew older, she began to hear many rumors in the circle. She heard a piece of news that shocked her to the core.
Her parents were married through a cooperative arrangement, and she was the product of a consolidated partnership, not a love affair at all.
She knew that her mother was getting married for the second time, but she thought at the time that her father loved her very much and would not give up marrying her because of rumors; her mother also loved her father very much, and even though she was obviously hurt in her previous marriage, she still married her father without hesitation.
But she heard a fact that was completely contrary to her guess——
Wang Huan was the only daughter of the Wang family, which had been one of the largest corporations in the country before her, practically a leader in its industry. Meanwhile, the Dong family was just a declining corporation, hanging on by a thread.
At that time, Wang Huang had just divorced the eldest son of the Liu family. Not long after, Dong Qun went to the Wang family to propose marriage, and the Wang family agreed.
Not long after the wedding, the Dong family reversed its decline and soared into the clouds like a tough vine. In just a few years, it returned to its peak and became one of the top five chaebols.
The marriage between Dong Qun and Wang Huan was a complete transaction. Although there was nothing on the surface, everyone knew it: the Wang family must have been secretly helping their son-in-law.
As for that child.
Everyone knew that Wang Huan's previous marriage was not happy. She and the eldest son of the Liu family did not love each other at all. Their marriage was also a marriage of arrangement. However, compared to Dong Qun, Wang Huan's marriage to the eldest son of the Liu family was almost open and aboveboard. The wedding was not concealed and was directly transformed into a business dinner.
Maybe the Wang family felt that it was not good to always use their daughter's marriage as an excuse, so the second marriage was much more low-key.
"If you ask me, she's quite pitiful. She doesn't even have the right to freely choose her own marriage."
"Huh??? Do you really think she'd fall in love with a man? In her eyes, everything is business. She's not at a disadvantage. The men she marries are all well-known in the industry. It's impossible for them to do anything to her. And she also has a reliable husband's family."
"What else can she do? Without her father's love and her mother's absence, she has to rely on herself for everything. Don't you know? Her father married a stepmother a long time ago and had another child, a boy." The person who spoke lowered his voice, "Have you forgotten? Wang Huan's mother is Ming Huan, the eldest daughter of the Ming family. She was the one who insisted on marrying Wang Chaohe. Wang Chaohe was not the one in charge of the Wang family before. At that time, he was still starting a business. To put it bluntly, he was just a lousy worker. If Ming Huan hadn't fallen in love with him and insisted on marrying him, and then had the support of the Ming family, would he have achieved what he has now?"
"I do know that the Wang family has never liked Miss Ming. But I just don't understand. Miss Ming is a nationally renowned beauty with a gentle personality. I almost fell in love with her after watching her old videos. How could the Wang family not be tempted?" The speaker sighed and continued, "But even if he doesn't like Miss Ming, he should still love his own flesh and blood, right?"
"Tsk, if he had been a bit wary when the Ming family was still around, wouldn't the Ming family have collapsed long ago? After Ming Huan died, he took her home. And Ming Huan hadn't been dead for a few days when a strange woman broke into his house. Wang Huan is so smart, she must have guessed what her father had done to offend her mother. If Wang Huan used to have some respect for him as a father, then after that woman came into the house, the two of them can be said to be incompatible."
"Huh? How did Ming Huan die?"
"I don't know about that, but I guess Wang Chaohe must have angered him to death. Think about it, why did the Ming family fall? It was because they stretched their hands too far and crossed the red line of the law. Logically, a family like the Ming family who did such a shameful thing should have hidden it well, but they were discovered. Do you know how they were discovered?"
"How did you find out?"
"It's just gossip, anyway, I heard it from someone." The person who spoke half covered his mouth with his hand and whispered, "Wang Chaohe reported it!"
This answer was really surprising and the person who heard it was shocked.
The same goes for eavesdropping on the winter tour.
She has never been to her grandmother's house, and her mother doesn't seem happy every time she mentions her grandfather.
So that's how it is.
So for the mother, she is just a tool to bind the marriage relationship?
But Dongyou knew very well that his parents were very good to him, and it was definitely not like what they said, that they were just using him as a bargaining chip.
This makes Dongyou feel painful——
It turns out that the happy family of three was just an illusion.
It is performed for outsiders and also for yourself.
On this day, she secretly swore in her heart that she would never become her father's tool like her mother, and would decide her own life.
She began to rebel, gradually leaving the harbor of her parents and venturing out on her own.
Sometimes she wanted to tell them: Get a divorce.
But when he saw their eyes, Dongyou was speechless.
"Dong Qun's family members!"
A voice on the phone brought Dong You back to her senses. She heard her mother say, "That's it for now, Xiao You... in a while. No, come over quickly when you have time."
"...I understand." Dong You said numbly.
What did mom say just now...
“Dad is sick…
Now in the hospital for emergency treatment...
What should I do…"
In front of Dong You, Wang Huan was always strong, and he had never been so helpless when talking to Dong You as he was now.
You can see that she is really panicked.
But why?
Dong Qun is fine, why???
Why did he suddenly go to the hospital, and for emergency treatment?
It sounds like it happened suddenly.
Dong You always quarrels with Dong Qun, but that doesn't mean she doesn't love her father.
She started to get scared.
What if…what if Daddy can’t recover after this emergency treatment…what should I do? What should I do…
Dong You covered his face with his hands, his nose felt sore, and tears gradually welled up in his eyes.
She raised her hand and dialed Chen Qian'an's number with trembling hands.
At that time, Chen Qi'an had just hung up the phone with his mother.
Chen Jiahuan had just called and told him, "Xiao An! Your father Dong suddenly fainted today and is currently receiving emergency treatment at the hospital. We don't know what happened. You should take leave immediately and come to the City First Hospital with Xiao You!"
Chen Jiahuan quickly finished speaking the key points, and before she could even hang up, she hurried to comfort the sobbing Wang Huan: "Sister Huan...it's okay...it's okay..."
Chen Qianan hung up the phone silently, frowning in thought: It seems that this matter is really serious.
The phone rang again. He looked down and saw it was Xiao You.
He quickly picked up: "Xiao You!"
There was no sound on the other end of the phone. Chen Qi'an hurried to the side of the road and tried to hail a taxi. He said with a breathy voice, "Wait for me. I'll come find you."
Dong You's tears flowed down, and he said in a trembling voice: "Okay..."
Chen Qi'an kept watching on the side of the road, but when he heard Dong You's voice, he immediately noticed her mood. He immediately guessed that she had already known the bad news.
Worried that Dongyou might be in a bad mood, he said, "It's okay, I'll talk to you, okay?"
The car was stopped and he quickly told the address of the winter travel company.
Dong You on the other end of the phone still didn't speak.
Chen Qian'an waited patiently, listening to her unsteady breathing. Somehow, he began to hum a cheerful tune.
This was the song Chen Zhangyuan hummed for Chen Qian'an when he was in a bad mood to comfort him.
He heard Dong You's crying, from slow to rapid, from suppressed to unrestrained.
Chen Qian'an looked at the people passing by outside the car window, and his eyes became red.
