madam, your vest is off

Chapter 154 I Will Not Lie To You

Su Xinran sat in a daze for the third time.

The colleague next to her saw that she was really out of shape, so he nudged her with his elbow and asked in a low voice, "Xin Ran, what's the matter with you? You asked for leave yesterday, and you've been in a trance today."

"It's okay." Su Xinran recovered, smiled and shook her head at her, "Maybe he didn't sleep well."

"That's right, you should pay more attention to rest. You have dark circles under your eyes." The colleague comforted her and continued her work.

Su Xinran turned her head to look at her computer screen. There were many forms on it, but in her eyes, it was still blank.

I don't know why, but I always feel a little uneasy.

Could it be that he really felt sorry for rejecting his father?
I am indeed a little worried, after all... If she doesn't help to pay off the debt, where can my father collect enough money to pay off the debt?

Father is also desperate, so he came to her...

So is he really too cruel?

It is true that her father has not lost her food and clothing since she was a child, and she is very rich in material.

Su Xinran clenched her fists with some guilt.

After finally staying up until the noon off-duty time, Su Xinran picked up the food on the plate, feeling that it was tasteless.

Suddenly the phone rang, startling Su Xinran, she quickly took out her phone to check, and found that it was an unfamiliar number.

Su Xinran's mood was like riding a roller coaster, going up and down suddenly.

She immediately put down her chopsticks and went outside, cleared her throat, and then answered the phone: "Hi, I'm Su Xinran."

"Xiao, Xiaoxin..." There was a female voice on the other end of the phone, sounding a bit older.

Su Xinran's hand holding the phone tightened suddenly.

The female voice on the other end of the phone seemed a little timid. Seeing that she didn't respond, but she didn't hang up the phone, she seemed a little sad and a little excited, but she didn't know what to say, so she called again: "Xiaoxin..."

"Well, it's me." Su Xinran only felt her throat dry, and answered with difficulty.

The woman over there was even more excited when she heard her response, her voice was a little trembling, and she kept calling her: "Xiao Xin, Xiao Xin."

Her voice was too eager, as if she only knew to call her name at this moment, and couldn't say anything else.

Su Xinran took a deep breath, feeling her heart beating faster and faster following her call.

The guilt and anxiety in my heart are even worse, but I am also a little scared.

It doesn't make sense for her father to come to her in person, so he moved out of the mother to deal with her, right?
She clearly knew that she couldn't resist her tears and pleading.

"What do you want from me?" Su Xinran closed her eyes, holding back the tears that were about to burst out of her eyes, her eyes were flushed, and she asked in a trembling voice, even with a slight smile at the corner of her mouth.

It was just a mocking smile.

But even if it was sarcasm, the voice of inquiry carried some expectations.

Don't be what she thinks, please...

She really didn't want to be such an indifferent person.

The voice on the other end of the phone paused, and then said sadly: "Xiaoxin, mom finally found your contact information and can call you. Mom just misses you. Why do you say that? Is it okay? , Mom can't find you?"

"It's not like this... Of course I hope you can come to me more... when you're free." Su Xinran heard her mournful voice, and the guilt in her heart suddenly filled the whole atrium, and she felt a warm current. Her heart spread to all limbs.

Sure enough, it was her mother...

Perhaps, in this world, only her mother would treat her like this?

She must be wrong, she must be.

At least her mother is changing, right?
Su Xinran's hand holding the phone was trembling slightly, but she still tried her best to control herself, hoping that she would not reveal her secrets.

After wandering away for so many years, even when she came back, she never saw her mother. How could she not want to?Especially when she was abroad, she would feel very homesick when she looked at the moon.

While homesick, she resented her parents for being indifferent and ruthless, and also resented her own cowardice and indifference.

This entanglement has continued until now.

The moment she heard her mother's voice, she still couldn't hold back.

Because I was hurt so deeply by my father, I looked at my mother with hostility, which was too unfair to my mother.

Although my mother always leaned towards my father in the past, but now my father is no longer the big tree that supported the family upright, so...

Maybe my mother is really correcting it?
"But since you just answered the phone, you haven't even called your mother..." The woman over there was already crying.

"Mom, mother..." Su Xinran swallowed hard, and then managed to control her voice without trembling and calling out this address.

long time.

It has been many years since I called this title.

So much so that when he said it, he was a little hoarse, like a machine that hadn't been running for many years, it was rusted and dull, and when it was started again, it was a little unsmooth.

"Hey, my little Xin..." The voice of the woman on the other end of the phone suddenly rose, and she said excitedly, "You won't blame mom, right? Mom has been trying to contact you for the past few years, but she has been unable to. ..."

"I don't blame you, it's my fault." Su Xinran closed her eyes and said, "I cut off the contact with you, so you can't contact me."

"Xiaoxin, mom also knows that you have a lot of difficulties, so mom understands you." The woman sighed, "But, mom still hopes that you can come home more often to see, don't make me and your dad worry all the time."

"Mom, if you say that you are worried about me, I believe it, but I don't believe it when you bring my dad, I'm sorry." Su Xinran licked her lips mockingly, "You know my dad, He won't worry about me."

"You can't say that, Xiaoxin, your father is still very worried about you. After all, you are a girl who is wandering outside to study alone, and then lost contact. Whose parents are not in a hurry or feel distressed? Your father and I are looking for you It's been a long time." The woman said softly.

Su Xinran lowered her eyes, wondering if she should believe what she said.

After all, yesterday's father's change of face because of debts and her is still vivid, very clear.

"What we want most is that you can come home more often to visit us, instead of sending us money regularly every month. What's the use of that cold money?" The woman sighed, "You know, I I just want a warm family."

"But Mom, do you know that my father came to me yesterday? You said that the money is useless, so why should I pay my father's debt?" Su Xinran said, "Before he owed the debt, I really didn't Think, he will find me."

"Or——he didn't miss me too much, even if he tried his best to find me."

"Mom, you know how much I have paid to help my father and repay the debts of Su's bankruptcy. My life is almost ruined."

"Father sent me abroad. This is the best way to escape, but my conscience has been uneasy all my life. These things have become an eternal stain in my life and a permanent thorn in my heart. No matter what, I can't help it." Washed out and uprooted."

"Xiao Xin..." The woman's voice was also a little choked up, "Mom knows you are working hard, mom knows..."

"So, if you are helping my father to be a lobbyist, please don't waste your efforts, I... won't help him." Su Xinran was cruel, and said bravely, "I'm sorry, I I can't help him anymore."

"I know, mom knows..." The woman's voice had become sobbing, almost crying, "Xiaoxin, mom doesn't ask for anything, your dad and I will find a way to pay off the debt, But, can you agree to a small request from mom?"

"Before you agree to this small request, please tell me, are you two capable of repaying it?" Su Xinran's heart began to struggle again, "Please don't push yourself to a dead end."

"Actually, there is. Your father has found a way. It's the right way. If you do it well, you can pay off the debt within a few years. You don't have to worry about that." The woman said decisively.

Su Xinran frowned suspiciously: "What method? Then why did my father come to me yesterday and act like that..."

"Your father is short-tempered, and it's not like you don't know it." The woman said, "He actually went to find you to fulfill my... It can be said that it was our common wish."

"He's been looking for it before, and I've been looking for it too, but there's been no movement. It's a mistake to find you this time."

"So, your father definitely didn't come to you because of debts. He just couldn't save his face, so he lied to you like this."

Su Xinran's heart skipped a beat: "What did you say? Lied to me? What's going on?"

"It's actually like this." The woman said with some embarrassment, "It's just...we just miss you, we really want to see you, that's why we came up with this..."

"Your father didn't act well, that's why he revealed his secrets. You misunderstood that he only came to you because of debts, but it wasn't."

"We just want...just want you to come home and visit us and have a reunion dinner."

Su Xinran's throat choked up, tears welled up in her eyes, she still forced herself to hold down her trembling voice and said, "What, when?"

"Just tonight, tonight, okay?" The woman asked expectantly, "Mom cooks your favorite dishes, a table, and we'll wait for you to come home for dinner."

Su Xinran took a deep breath, trembling all over her body: "...Okay, I will definitely go home tonight."

After a pause, she said again: "Mom, you won't lie to me, will you?"

There was a hint of pleading in the voice, and a hint of expectation.

The woman over there seemed to be stunned for a while, and then said firmly: "No, Mom...I won't lie to you."
