Marriage as a Game

Chapter 44 He is the kind of master that is hard to see through

"Mom, I'm sorry! I couldn't help myself and couldn't come back to see you!"

Yao Chun's voice, with a strange familiarity, entered Shen Chaoxi's ears and stirred her heart.

There was no family affection between her and this so-called mother.

When Shen Xi was five years old, her parents died in a fire while on duty, and she became an orphan for a while. By the time she grew up, she had long forgotten what parental love felt like.

But, at this moment, she is Shen Chaoxi. Although this person is gone, her thoughts and consciousness are still there. The longing for the past four years floods her heart like a tide.

Two lines of tears flowed down unconsciously.

But she had resentment, and this resentment made Shen Chaoxi unwilling to take a step forward. He just wanted to take a look on her behalf.

Grandma's trembling voice was filled with dissatisfaction.

"You can't help yourself? Can't come back?

Can’t make a phone call?
We haven't moved for more than 20 years. Don't you know the address? You can't send me a letter, even if it's just to let me know you're safe!"

The old lady burst into tears.

"I'm old, it doesn't matter what I look like, I have your brother and sister-in-law to take care of me.

But Chunchun, you are not single!

You have a daughter, you forgot!

You've been gone for four years, and you just left Xixi to that beast?
Have you ever thought about how difficult her situation must be?
As a mother myself, I wonder whether you are safe day and night. Although I blame you for not living up to your expectations, I also hope that you are living a good life out there!

But, on the other hand, don’t you care about how Xixi is doing?"

The old lady's words struck the people in front of her.

Yao Chun was crying uncontrollably, shaking her head and sobbing.

"Mom, I was wrong!
I miss my child. There is not a single day that I don’t miss her. But I was penniless when I left. What could I give her?
In the Shen family, Xixi can still live a rich life and doesn't have to wander with me. Moreover, Shen Daguang promised me that he would take good care of her.

Later, I had more money, and I would give her living expenses every once in a while. Shen Daguang would always use the excuse that the child was studying to prevent me from talking to the child. He…"

At this moment, Yao Chun realized something was suspicious and stood up with a trembling voice.

"That beast Shen Daguang!"

“What’s the point of scolding her!

Back then, it was you who insisted on following him despite my opposition. Life is good now, but what kind of person he is was already determined!
You will have to follow my old path eventually!

However, no matter how hard and tired I was back then, I never gave up on you two siblings. I felt at ease knowing that you shared the hardships with me but stayed by my side!

Xixi was already 14 years old at the time. Did you ask her if she was willing to follow you? Did you ask for her opinion?

She didn't do well in the college entrance examination this year, and that beast wanted to marry her off. Xixi disagreed and came to live with your brother and sister-in-law. I was sick at the time, and I later learned that the child came all the way from Yuncheng without even a change of clothes and was hungry for a whole day!"

The old lady covered her chest and took a few breaths, then pointed to her heart and spoke.

"Later, your sister-in-law quietly told me that the child helped her clean the house, cook, wash clothes, and change light bulbs at home. He could do everything!
I felt relieved but more distressed when I heard this!
What conditions does the Shen family have? They don’t have a nanny at home? They force a teenage girl to do everything! "

Yao Chun knelt on one knee at the head of the bed, covered her face with her hands, and begged, "Mom, please stop talking! Stop talking!"

The old lady looked at her daughter's painful face, but she didn't stop.

"You know without me telling you?

If you don’t tell me, you will feel guilty towards your child and will always think that you owe her something. You should always treat her well in the future! ..."

Shen Chaoxi didn't listen to the rest of the conversation. She wiped the tears from her face and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window opposite the ward.

At this time, the drizzle was still falling, and pedestrians hurried by with umbrellas on the street. The scene that used to be bustling with traffic seemed a little lonely because of the long holiday.

The whole city was shrouded in water vapor.

Shen Chaoxi was so engrossed in watching that it took her a long time to notice that there was someone standing next to her.

Looking back, it was the middle-aged man I saw at the elevator entrance just now.

As if sensing something, Shen Chaoxi glanced towards the ward opposite.

Sure enough, the man's deep and gentle voice came over, and there was a joking tone in his voice, as if coaxing a child.

"Let me guess who you are?" The man's black eyes were bright, as if they could illuminate the surroundings.

Seeing this face with his dark eyes, Shen Chaoxi was certain that this gentle man like jade was not the kind of person who would be manipulated by others.

He is the kind of master that is hard to see through at first glance!
Shen Chaoxi curled the corners of his mouth and said, "I'm the person you guessed." His voice was a little hoarse.

The girl's eyes were upturned at the corners, with a faint blush around her eyes, and it was obvious that she had just cried.

The man's eyes were softer. He was a head taller than Shen Chaoxi. He leaned forward slightly, trying his best to look at Shen Chaoxi at eye level.

This posture makes people feel very comfortable.

"You look so much like your mother. I recognized you at first sight. You are Xixi, right? Your mother talks about you almost every day," the man said this with tenderness in his eyes. He glanced towards the ward and then his voice became serious.

"She has her own difficulties. Although you may blame her for leaving you temporarily, you must believe that she will always put you first!"

Shen Chaoxi believes that she has an indestructible willpower and can remain indifferent no matter how difficult or painful the situation is.

But the bitterness in my heart spread uncontrollably.

Like now!

She is not living as Shen Xi now, Shen Chaoxi still lives deep in her heart.

Seeing Shen Chaoxi crying, the man was a little at a loss. He strode to the front of the ward, opened the door and said a few words inside.

Shen Chaoxi didn't know what it felt like to be held in Yao Chun's arms. In short, she had never experienced it before.

This morning, a person who claimed to be a mother kept holding her hand and crying.

"This is Uncle Zhong, my mother's current lover. We are planning to start a family, and I would like to ask for your advice."

There was tension in Yao Chun's voice.

Shen Chaoxi lowered his eyes, his eyelashes flickering around his eyes.

"If I don't agree, will you break up with him?"

As if he didn't expect Shen Chaoxi to answer like this, Yao Chun was stunned for a moment, then nodded.

She also felt that her daughter's attitude towards her was unfamiliar. She was completely different from the girl who always hugged her and acted coquettishly a few years ago.

Moreover, up to now, Yao Chun has not heard the word "Mom" from Shen Chaoxi's mouth.

In more than four years, more than just the rings of time have passed, but also the family ties have passed.

"If Xixi doesn't agree, Mom won't get married. Can we be together as mother and daughter in the future?"

From the conversation just now, Shen Chaoxi knew that Yao Chun is no longer the housewife she used to be. She is now a well-known jewelry designer.

Back then, Yao Chun was a famous talent in Tsinghua University and won many awards for her designs. However, after graduating from university, she married Shen Daguang and later became Mrs. Shen Kuo.
