hard to let go

Chapter 46

Leng Xi poured a cup of tea and brought it to the table, "Auntie, please—"

Mother Chu looked around the store, "I happened to pass by here. I heard from Chu Hang that you opened a flower shop a few days ago, and I planned to come over to have a look, but something at home has been dragging on. Congratulations——"

Leng Xi slightly moved the corners of his mouth, "Auntie, you are being polite."

"When I was young, I had many wishes, one of which was to have a flower shop, but later, because of Chu Hang's father, I taught books for most of my life like this. But sometimes I think about it, even if I opened a shop at that time There may not be a good result. What you can't get is always good."

Leng Xi's heart skipped a beat, and he calmly picked up the cup and took a sip, the scented tea slightly pursed his lips.

Mother Chu stood up and walked aside, "This flower is so beautiful, is it the bellflower?"

Leng Xi followed and walked over, she nodded, "Yes." There were not many platycodon flowers in the store, she watched quietly, the purple petals had a little blue in them, delicate but not gorgeous, fresh and moving.

"Good-looking is good-looking." Mother Chu sighed suddenly, "It's just that the flower language of Platycodon grandiflorum is too sad." She read softly, "Pycotinum grandiflorum—a hopeless love."

Leng Xi's hand that was touching the petals paused slightly.

"Love is beautiful, but life is sometimes very realistic. Sometimes falling in love doesn't mean we can be together. Everything should be based on fate. Lengxi, do you understand?"

The atmosphere became quiet in an instant.

Leng Xi is very glad that Xiaoyou and Xiaoyi are out for dinner now, and she is the only one facing this.The so-called not going to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, not to mention that at Chu's mother's birthday party last time, Leng Xi also felt the warmth and warmth of human feelings.

"Auntie, I understand what you mean very well." Leng Xi said calmly, looking at her speech with clear and calm eyes, "I am very grateful to Brother Chu for helping me during this time, I will never forget it in my life I don't think there is anything unworthy in this world, as long as you are in love, why can't you be together?" She said neither humble nor overbearing.

When Chu's mother heard her words, her face was a little embarrassed.

Leng Xi pursed her lips, "If the last two people can't be together, it's not because of those so-called concepts, then it can only be said that these two people are not firm enough and love each other enough."

Mother Chu looked at her quietly, with a stiff expression.

Leng Xi suddenly moved the corner of his mouth, "You may not like what I said, but this is indeed my idea. Don't single mothers have the right to pursue their own happiness?"

"You—" Mother Chu bit the corners of her lips, the corners of her mouth twitched, she was no longer as calm and breezy as she just entered the door.

"If you say that there is nothing between Senior Brother Chu and me, that would be a lie, but that is just the throbbing of youth. Don't worry, Senior Brother Chu and I had nothing to do seven years ago." She sighed softly In one breath, I didn't expect myself to be so calm.

Chu's mother did not expect Leng Xi to say such words, she gritted her teeth, "You are also a sensible child, maybe what I said today, you will not be happy to hear it. When you reach my age, you will You will understand that sometimes love and marriage are really two different things. As a mother, how can I not know Chuhang’s feelings for you, but you are too far apart after all. If you can say these words to me, I will also not worried."

"sorry for disturbance."

Mother Chu turned around, Leng Xi looked at her back, and raised the corners of her mouth bitterly.

Chu Hang came home after ten o'clock in the evening. These days, the law firm has a lot of things to do, and he came home exhausted. Unexpectedly, his mother was still awake.

"You're back, are you hungry? Let me get you something to eat?" Mother Chu turned down the TV.

"No need, I had supper. Mom, why are you still up so late?" Chu Hang put down his bag.

Chu's mother looked at him deeply, under the light, her eyes were a little dark.Seeing her dazed expression, Chu Hang sat beside her, "What's wrong?"

"How are you and Xu Shi?" Mother Chu asked directly, without any ambiguity.

Chu Hang frowned, "Mom, I've already told you that I only treat her as a little sister. It's impossible for me and Xu Shi."

Chu's mother's face became more and more serious, "Xiaohang, listen to my mother, it is impossible for you and Leng Xi." She didn't hide a bit, "She had a daughter when she was unmarried, and now she is still entangled with that Mr. Gao Such a girl married into our family, how do you tell me and your father to face relatives and friends."

Chu Hang's face was gloomy, and his jaw was tense. "That's all nonsense written by magazines. Lengxi is a very good girl. You'll know it after you get along with her for a long time, and Xixi is also a very cute and sensible child."

Mother Chu shook her head again and again, "I'll make it clear tonight, Chu Hang, I don't agree with you and her, and do you think Leng Xi will be with you? I can see that she is a very thoughtful girl. She You know your attitude towards you." He took a breath, "Xu Shi told your Auntie Chen that she feels good about you."

Chu Hang tugged at his tie, "Mom, okay, I'm a little tired, I'm going back to my room to rest first. You should also go to bed earlier."

The night was quiet.Chu Hang was sitting on the desk, with a stack of documents in front of him, but he was so restless that he couldn't read a single word, and he had to go to court tomorrow.

His mother's words echoed in his ears again and again.The future between him and Leng Xi, Chu Hang is once again in a predicament, he is not afraid of the long wait, what he fears most is her shrinking back.

He can still remember what she said to him that day, "Xu Shi is very good." Yes, Xu Shi is really good, beautiful and capable, but it's still not her.No matter how good she is, it doesn't matter to him.

Chu Hang sighed heavily, and immediately picked up the phone.He seemed to feel the scene 7 years ago again, and it was so silent at the beginning, and finally broke up.

Leng Xi was making an accounting statement when her phone vibrated. She took it over and looked at the screen, "Chu Hang? What's the matter so late?" She glanced at the alarm clock on the table, it was past 11 o'clock.Why did he call at this time.

Chu Hang swallowed, "Xiaoxi, let's get married!" Let everything go to the ground.

The pen in Leng Xi's hand slipped instantly, "Chu Hang, what's wrong with you?"

"Xiaoxi, promise me." It was the first time Chu Hang insisted.

Silence, after a dead silence.

"Senior brother, you will find a better girl. It's impossible for me and you." Leng Xi closed her sore eyelids, and she heard Chu Hang's heavy breathing through the phone. "Brother, I'm sorry." She bit her lip and said softly.

Chu Hang suddenly sneered, his sadness was indescribable, "Because of him?"

Leng Xi took a deep breath, and she said with difficulty, "It's not because of anyone. It's just that we are no longer who we were before. Brother, you told me to look forward in everything. You too, you There will be a suitable girl."

Under the dim yellow light, Chu Hang's eyes were red, and he choked his throat and said softly, "Okay, I know, Xiaoxi—" He called her name softly, but he didn't say anything after that come out.

The two listened to each other's breathing, and finally hung up the call because Leng Xi's phone was out of power.

Leng Xi quietly stared at the bouquet of platycodon flowers she brought back from the store, her eyes were helpless and empty.

Some people are doomed.

Gao Ziqun attended the party held by the government at night, and met Chen Zhanbei without accident.Chen Zhanbei twitched the corner of his mouth at him, "Hello, Mr. Gao, do you still remember me?"

Of course Gao Ziqun knew that he was teasing him, he smiled, "If I don't know Mayor Chen, I don't need to hang out in City D."

Chen Zhanbei suddenly smiled, "My wife asked me to ask this question. I really admire you. You can think of such a clumsy method. Your brain is not broken, right?"

Gao Ziqun sighed helplessly, "It's broken, didn't you donate another sum just now?"

"I think you might as well just switch careers and become a screenwriter. You can act out such bloody amnesia."

"When she becomes Mrs. Gao, I will consider investing in the TV drama industry."

Chen Zhanbei heard from his wife that Gao Ziqun lost his memory, and he was selective, and he forgot Leng Xi alone.Xu Chenxi said this at home, "If Gao Ziqun loses his memory, sows can climb trees."

Chen Zhanbei laughed, "What does this have to do with sows?"

Chen Xi said seriously, "I mean it's impossible. Gao Ziqun must have lied to Xiaoxi. No, I have to tell Xiaoxi."

Chen Zhanbei quickly grabbed her hand, "Mrs. Chen, tell her, what are you going to ask her to do? Expose Ziqun?" Chen Xi fell silent. "It's better for Ziqun to take a step back than they are in this stalemate. I believe Ziqun has his intentions."

Chen Xi snorted, "Speaking of which, you are on Gao Ziqun's side, aren't you?" She pushed him dissatisfied.

Chen Zhanbei sighed, "Of course I helped Xiaoxi. It's been seven years. Do you want Xiaoxi to live like this for the rest of his life?"

Chen Xi shook her head helplessly, "Gao Ziqun ruined Xiaoxi's most beautiful youth."

"So Ziqun has to take responsibility, which is his duty." Even more willingly.

Chen Zhanbei raised his eyebrows and eyes, "What are you going to do now? You have used the bitter trick, and you are also using the amnesia trick. What else can you do?"

Gao Ziqun glanced at him coldly, "Don't tell me I'm a liar, yes, am I chasing my wife with the most sincere attitude?"

"Let's be a stalker." Chen Zhanbei chuckled, "Leng Xi is a soft-hearted person. You have moved your house across from her, so you still haven't had a chance?"

"You are very well informed." Gao Ziqun said flatly.He bought that house when his head was smashed, and he just moved there two days ago.This isn't Lengxi yet to discover.

"However, Ziqun, I would like to advise you. What Leng Xi hated most at the beginning was the matter between you and Wen Shu. You provoked her with Wen Shu. Now that Wen Shu has come back, you treat Wen Shu as your younger sister. Men are different, you just hide everything in your heart." Chen Zhanbei said vibrately.

These words made waves in Gao Ziqun's heart. In fact, what he regretted the most was that he used Wenshu to provoke Leng Xi. Every time he thought about it, his guts turned green with regret.

If that child was still there, he and Leng Xi would have had a happy family long ago.

But there is no medicine for regret in this world.
