madam, your vest is off

Chapter 155 Worry
Xu Ruoqing turned off the hands-free button, hung up the phone, her eyes were still red.

She took a deep breath and let it out slowly, and she calmed down after repeating it several times.

She touched her tears, put her phone on the coffee table, and sighed, "You heard it all, are you satisfied now?"

The teacup on the coffee table was still steaming, and the tea in it was just brewed.

A big hand took the teacup on the coffee table, passed it to his face, sniffed the fragrance of the tea lightly, and hooked the corners of his mouth in satisfaction: "Good tea."

"Yudong!" Xu Ruoqing was a little anxious seeing his indifferent look.

"You've done a good job, this is my good wife." Su Yudong took a sip of tea unhurriedly, rolled his eyes in satisfaction and said, the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes were clear.

Xu Ruoqing sat beside him and said, "Yudong, what are you thinking? Xinran is our daughter, you won't really..."

"Don't worry." Su Yudong waved his hand and said, "She'll be fine. What's more, compared to your daughter, we are almost without a house and have to bear debts. Aren't these things more urgent and terrifying?"

"If you had known this, you shouldn't have gone astray, and you should have earned money well, or spent your old age well with the living expenses paid back by Xiaoxin!" Xu Ruoqing said, her eyes began to flicker again. red.

"What do you know as a woman!" Su Yudong frowned and raised his voice, "Anyway, this is the end of the matter, and she also promised to come back for dinner tonight, that's fine, don't talk so much."

Xu Ruoqing was startled by his yelling, and almost cried again.

"Don't cry! You have lost your luck! What else can you do but cry! Bad luck!" Su Yudong put down his teacup fiercely, got up and walked into the bedroom.

Xu Ruoqing watched him walk into the bedroom and slam the door shut, her body also trembled, and then she collapsed on the sofa as if exhausted.

Xiaoxin, I'm sorry, I'm really sorry...

Mom lied to you again...

But she really wants to see Xiao Xin...

Even though he tricked her back home in this way...

Xu Ruoqing bit her lip, tears couldn't stop flowing.

Husband and daughter, she finally chose to stand on her husband's side.

There is really no way, her husband is her god. After so many years, such habits and biases have already been rooted in her heart and bones, and there is no way to change it.

After all, in her mind, her daughter will eventually leave her and form another family, and her husband is the one who will spend her life with her.

She knew she was ashamed of Xiao Xin.

But she has chosen another path.

……

Holding the phone, Su Xinran stared at the blue sky outside the window in a daze.

Can she still trust her mother?
Maybe what Mom said was true.

She said she wouldn't lie to her.

She also said it was all about getting her home for dinner.

Su Xinran was a little confused, she didn't know whether what her father did yesterday was true, or what her mother said on the phone today was true.

Give them another chance.

Hope they really don't disappoint her this time.

if not……

She hooked her lips in a self-deprecating way, even if she was disappointed, so what could she do?

Su Xinran looked down at the string of unfamiliar numbers in the phone, hesitated again and again, and clicked on save.

When filling in the remarks, I hung my finger on the screen for a long time before typing the word "Mom".

After clicking OK, she suddenly relaxed and took a deep breath of fresh air, only to realize that she was holding her breath because of nervousness.

She smiled helplessly, she didn't expect that she would become so chaotic just after answering a phone call, she even forgot how to breathe.

She checked the time and called Wen Yuanzhou's cell phone.

But after two rings, it was picked up over there, and his gentle voice came through the receiver: "Xin Ran."

"Have you eaten yet?" Hearing his voice, Su Xinran's mood cleared up.

"Eat, how about you?" Wen Yuanzhou asked.

"Well, I just had enough." Su Xinran replied.

It's just a very daily question, but these questions are as sweet as dipped in honey.

"Why did you call suddenly?" Wen Yuanzhou asked, "Miss me?"

"That's not it." Su Xinran's face turned red in an instant, "It's just... I just received a call from my mother."

"Your mother?" Wen Yuanzhou raised his eyebrows, and the ending sound followed suit.

"Well, my mother." Su Xinran said, "She told me that my father was just acting yesterday, and their purpose was just to let me go home for dinner. Also, my father's debts have been settled. way."

"But if you want you to go home for dinner, just say no? Why are you beating around the bush?" Wen Yuanzhou frowned, "And...how did your father come to me when he was looking for you?"

"I don't know either, so my mind is in a mess right now. Do you think I should go back for dinner tonight? Although I have already promised my mother." Su Xinran puffed her cheeks.

"What's the most outrageous thing your parents have done?" Wen Yuanzhou asked suddenly.

The most outrageous thing?

Of course, it was the two things that asked her to dress up as a man, fall in love with another girl, and force her to help them find ways to repay their debts.

Su Xinran pursed her lips, but how could she tell him such a thing?

Wen Yuanzhou waited for a long while but did not see any response from the other side, so he called out: "Xin Ran?"

"Oh...I, I was thinking." Su Xinran gritted her teeth, "No, it's just about paying off debts..."

"At least they will protect your personal safety, right?" Wen Yuanzhou said.

"What, you're worried about me." Su Xinran rolled her eyes, "Probably not."

No... right.

After all, they asked her to dress up as a man...

But even though he was disguised as a man, his father still made a plan, didn't let her reveal his secrets, and helped her arrange the way out.

So it should be regarded as... guaranteed.

"What should you mean? You have to give me a definite answer before I let you go back with confidence." Wen Yuanzhou's voice was a bit oppressive.

Su Xinran's heart warmed, and she bent her mouth: "Don't worry, they are my parents, no matter how cruel they are, they won't let me do anything. It's just going back to have dinner, let me tell you One sound."

"Then you have to go home before 08:30 in the evening." Wen Yuanzhou said, "If you don't go home by 08:30, I will pick you up."

"Okay, okay, I promise you." Su Xinran quickly agreed, feeling warm in her heart.

It's good that there are still people in this world who worry about her.

The two talked a few more words, then hung up the phone.

It's just that after hanging up the phone, both of them felt a little uneasy, but they didn't know why.

Su Xinran gripped the phone tightly and took a deep breath.

It's just a meal, there's no need to be so nervous.

No matter what, they were still her parents, she didn't believe they could really do anything.

I thought so from the bottom of my heart, but Su Xinran's grip on the phone became stronger and stronger.

……

The work in the afternoon is still absent-minded.

Su Xinran finished today's work in a daze, and the minute hand just happened to point to the moment when she got off work.

Su Xinran stretched, packed her things and got up to leave.

She didn't choose to take the car, but walked slowly towards the destination alone.

She bought that house for her parents back then, and she doesn't know how the second elder managed it.

It should be a cozy little home.

In fact, when buying a house, in addition to considering her own economic reasons, what she wanted more was such a cozy nest, which was out of her own selfishness.

The area is not big, and it is full of furniture and decorations. It is not like living in a villa before, no matter what is placed, it is empty.

There is no human touch at all, it is cold and cold.

Maybe, living in such a warm little house, parents will become closer.

The two don't have to think about anything, they live a leisurely retirement life every day, enjoying flowers, taking a walk, and traveling wherever they want.

Su Xinran didn't know what channel her father's debt was due to, but she felt that it didn't matter even if her father was in debt, because he found a way to solve it, so he could do something.

After all, it is good for people at their age to be more active. Besides, father has such a strong personality, so he probably can't stand a leisurely life.

My father is still at work, and my mother is doing what she likes at home as usual, eating three meals a day, and walking and chatting together at night...

Just thinking about this kind of life actually makes me feel pretty good.

Su Xinran thought about it, and unconsciously a smile appeared on his face.

Once again, it was already at the door of the house.

There is also an upside-down blessing on the door of the house, full of joy.

But such a small door made her feel warm.

Su Xinran took a deep breath, and stretched out her index finger tremblingly to ring the doorbell.

She could feel that her fingertips were still cold.

After waiting for a while, when she heard the sound of the door lock turning, Su Xinran's breath started to rise, and then she was a little flustered, and she didn't even know how to put the expression on her face, the smile that was clearly ready was stiff at this moment down.

It was indeed Xu Ruoqing who opened the door.

When she saw that the person in front of her was Su Xinran, she was stunned for a few seconds, then her eyes turned red, and tears welled up in an instant. She stretched out her hand, making some funny gestures in mid-air, probably because she wanted to hug her but I dare not.

Su Xinran was also a little embarrassed, she coughed, cleared her throat and said, "Mom, mom..."

"Hey...Xiaoxin..." Xu Ruoqing heard her daughter standing in front of her, calling her mother obediently, her voice trembled immediately, and she couldn't stop her tears.

Su Xinran was a little at a loss, she had watched her tears grow up since she was a child, she had no way of persuading her to stop her tears, she could only watch from the side helplessly and say some useless comforting words.

"Okay, okay, I'm back, so don't cry." Su Xinran could only say this, she clenched her fists and then loosened them. After some ideological struggle, she slowly let go of her hands On her shoulder, clumsily soothing.
