You must marry me!

Qi Zhen held back his smile, patted Yan Yiyun on the shoulder, nodded to her, and said seriously: "That's right, it's none of their business."

Yan Yiyun said loudly, "Take it easy!"

Qi Zhen drank oolong tea and said, "You probably won't say anything more after you made the announcement."

"That's it," Yan Yiyun raised his chin, "you can tell what I mean just by looking at it."

After Yan Yiyun and Qi Zhen finished their oden cooking, they reckoned that it was almost time before going upstairs to the company.

As soon as they got out of the elevator, they saw Yu Xiaotao waiting anxiously at the door.

Seeing them, Yu Xiaotao breathed a sigh of relief and said, "You guys are finally back."

Seeing her flustered look, Yan Yiyun raised his eyebrows and asked, "What happened?"

Yu Xiaotao lowered her voice and said, "Director Qi, your family members came to the company suddenly and are waiting in the reception room."

Qi Zhen's head jumped, her family?That must have been her mother.

She moved out for so long, and she sent money to her mother on time every month. Before that, her mother didn't call me a single time. She thought she had accepted the fact that she moved. Why did she suddenly find her in the company now?

Seeing that Qi Zhen's expression was not very good, Yan Yiyun tugged at her sleeve and asked in a low voice, "Are you all right? Do you want me to ask her to go out?"

Qi Zhen shook his head and said, "No need."

Yan Yiyun held her hand, gently rubbed the back of her hand with a sense of comfort, and said: "It's okay, it's not a problem, just say that the company has passed the reception time now, and it's fine if it's not convenient for you to receive customers." .”

Qi Zhen forced a smile, and patted her hand: "It's okay, I'll go and have a look, it will always happen like this."

She tried her best to lighten her tone, but what she said was still unsatisfactory.

Seeing that the worry in Yan Yiyun's eyes became more obvious, Qi Zhen shook his head helplessly, and said: "When I moved away, I thought she would come to me, but I didn't expect that she would come directly to the company. If I don't go today , she will come later."

Yan Yiyun had no choice but to let go of her hand and said, "Okay, then I'll wait for you in the office."

Qi Zhen nodded, separated from her, and went to the reception room.

The reception room is at the other end of the corridor, with bright floor-to-ceiling windows, which looks like a coffee shop. Employees and partners from the Commerce Department sit at round tables in twos and threes, discussing business while drinking coffee.

Yu Xiaotao led Qi Zhen to a booth in the corner, and whispered, "Call me if you need anything."

Qi Zhen walked towards the deck, where a familiar figure was sitting there waiting for her.

Obviously it didn't take long, but Qi Zhen felt that the man seemed to be much older, his meticulously combed black hair was mixed with silver threads, his old arrogance was gone, there was sadness between his brows, and some hair grew on his hands. Wrinkled, leaning on a porcelain white coffee cup, looks even more shabby.

Qi Zhen sighed, sat down in front of her, and asked, "Mom, why did you come to the company?"

Qi's mother suddenly raised her head, stared at Qi Zhen's face, and said sharply, "I haven't asked why you don't go home every day!"

Qi Zhen found it ridiculous. On the day she moved, Qi's mother stood in front of her, watching her move the luggage away one by one, with a sarcastic expression on her face, without saying a word to persuade her to stay. She was indifferent until she got in the car and left, so why is she saying she won't go home now?

Could it be that in mother's mind, she was just acting like she wasn't really moving at all?

Qi Zhen suddenly felt powerless.

She originally thought that moving out was the end, as long as she moved out of the house, she would cut off that messy life, but what she didn't expect was that even though she moved out, in her mother's heart, she still had nothing to worry about. did not do.

As far as her mother was concerned, the fact that she was moving, like anything else she did, was a non-existent concern.

A burst of anger rushed into Qi Zhen's heart, she felt angry, why no matter what she did, her mother acted as if she didn't see it, and stubbornly understood everything according to her imagination?

Qi Zhen didn't want others to know about their problems, so she lowered her voice and said, "I said I've already moved out!"

"what?"

Qi's mother looked at her confusedly: "Are you really moving? Are you really buying a house? I thought you just stayed at a friend's house for a few days. Who knew you wouldn't come back for so long. I told you that I was so worried. You If I don’t come back today, I’m going to call the police!”

Hearing what she said, Qi Zhen's anger slowly subsided, replaced by endless disappointment and sorrow.

She realized again that no matter what she said or what she did, even if she disappeared in her mother's life, her mother would not really care, and would still pretend that the years were quiet and nothing had changed, just like After her father had an accident and the family went bankrupt, she still had to maintain her original life. Her mother had been living in a dream and would not come out to see the reality.

Qi Zhen originally thought that she was used to this feeling, but when she sat here and listened to her mother repeating her rhetoric, she still felt disappointed and uncomfortable.

Qi Zhen looked down at the coffee cup in front of her. The black coffee exuded a mellow aroma, and the bitter taste remained on the tip of her tongue, which would not go away for a long time.

Qi Zhen took a deep breath, tried to calm down his voice, and said: "I have said that, I bought a house, moved, and I will not live with you, and I will not go back in the future. I gave you the bank card. Give you money every month, you take care of your own life, I told you when I moved out, why didn't you listen?"

Mother Qi said as a matter of course: "I thought you were joking."

Qi Zhen stared at her. In her life, the time she lived with her mother was not as long as the time she lived in boarding school. She and her parents really didn't know each other. Her father had lost consciousness, and he was like She lives happily like a child, her mother has always lived in a dream, and she still wants to bind her together in the dream, but she doesn't know how much effort she has spent to maintain her dream.

Qi Zhen realized clearly like never before that it is impossible for her parents to change, and it is delusional to ask an adult to change her lifestyle, not to mention that this person is her mother, who naturally thinks that she knows life better than her.

Maybe she should give up.

Qi Zhen understands that since it is impossible for her parents to change, if she wants to get rid of this messy life, what else can she do other than give up completely and let them change, and then find the life she wants?

Not only did she have to give up, but she also had to make her mother realize that she had given up, so that she would stop trying to tie her life up.

Qi Zhen shook his head, his voice became very soft: "I'm not kidding, I never joked."

Qi's mother suddenly realized that something had changed in her daughter. She remembered a morning long ago, when her daughter turned around and left the kitchen with the lunch box in her hand. At that time, she felt that something had really changed in Qi. She felt that she was losing something Something, but she couldn't figure out what it was.

Now, that kind of thing appeared again, and it materialized in front of her, like a sharp knife, piercing the barrier in front of her eyes, allowing her to see the real world.

Qi really sat in front of her and said to her coldly:

"I never joked, never joked about anything."

"I told you before that our family is not what it used to be. I want to sell the house and live a little easier. I'm not kidding."

"You said yes at the beginning, but when it came to the end, the buyer was about to sign a contract with us. You said you wouldn't sell it. You thought I was joking. You never thought about selling the house. Just let it go once. Repeat this over and over again, and in the end, the intermediaries in that area will not accept our order, so you are satisfied."

Qi Zhen brought up the old story again, her voice was steady, without any ups and downs, as if she had no emotion at all, and she was just stating something that had nothing to do with her.

"I came to work at Xingyun, and you said I was joking. If you have nothing to do, ask me when I will resign. I don't think I have more face than doing art before, but have you ever thought about why I came here to work?"

"If I don't come here to work, where will I get the money to treat my father?"

"It's not that you don't know that the follow-up treatment of his disease is long and expensive, and he may have to rely on money for his entire life. If I don't work, where will the money come from?"

Qi's mother couldn't hold back her face, she looked a little embarrassed, and said, "Isn't the family rich..."

"Is there money at home?"

Qi Zhen showed a mocking smile, she was really laughed out of anger now.

"That's the old calendar from many years ago. Our family went bankrupt, don't you know?"

Qi's mother looked worried, and said: "Your father's business is not doing well, but doesn't your grandfather still have money?"

When Qi Zhen heard her mentioning the matter of her grandparents, her heart ached, her eyes were slightly red, and the anger in her voice became more obvious, saying:

"The money left by my grandparents has long been spent on medical treatment. At that time, you were still buying bags and clothes. Oh, I forgot. Now you don't buy less bags and clothes."

Qi Zhen stared into his mother's eyes and said coldly:

"Mom, just wake up. Your life as a young lady should be over. Our family is bankrupt, and our grandparents are gone. Now we have to rely on our own hands to make a living."

The corner of Qi's mother's mouth twitched, and she talked about the first thing again: "Don't talk about it, you really moved and aren't coming back?"

Again!

In the past, when Qi Zhen talked with his mother, such things often happened.

As they talked, Qi Zhen would be interrupted by his mother just after he said something important, and would go back to the first thing. Many times, they talked for a long time, but in the end they still didn't discuss anything. Nothing was resolved.

This situation made Qi Zhen most angry.

She used to look at

For my mother's sake, if I talk to her nicely again, or try to persuade her or something, the end result is mostly going around in circles, and nothing has changed.

This time, Qi really didn't want to bear it any longer.

"Yes."

Qi Zhen said with a cold face:

"I moved away and won't be coming back."

"You don't need to say anything to me, anyway, you won't listen to what I tell you, so I don't need to listen to what you tell me."

"you!"

Mother Qi said angrily:

"What are you doing now, kid!"

Her eyes were red, and tears fell quickly.

"You were not like this before. You would listen to everything I told you. Why are you like this now? You don't listen to anything I say. If you move, you move. Do you still think I'm a mother... "

Qi Zhen listened to her cry quietly, without speaking or moving.

She thought of the past, every time her mother cried, she would compromise, or cry with her, it was the same old saying, nothing would change.

Qi really thought, this time really can't do that again.

If nothing changes every time, her life will always be a mess.

Today, my mother can find her company, and in the future, she can find her apartment, and even move into her apartment without anyone noticing when she is at work.

She really didn't want that to happen.

Qi's mother was crying and crying, seeing that Qi Zhen didn't respond at all, she couldn't help beating her heart.

Usually, when she cried like this, Qi Zhen would compromise and would do things according to her request, why is she crying like this today, Qi Zhen just watched without any reaction?

Mother Qi panicked a little.

She didn't know why this happened, not to mention Qi Zhen, as long as she cried in the past, her request would be satisfied, whether it was parents, husband or daughter, they would obediently listen to her.

Why is this trick not working now?

Thinking of this, Qi's mother burst into tears.

She is the only daughter of her parents, even the only girl in the whole big family. She has been loved by thousands since she was a child, and she is the jewel in the palm of everyone.

Since she was a child, she has everything she wants, whether it is a doll or a car, she has everything she expects. Both boys and girls envy her. At family gatherings, her brothers and sisters take her out to play, and she is omnipotent. When she went to school, her parents took turns to pick her up. Later, she was escorted by her brothers in junior high school, high school, and high school. She didn't suffer any grievances. , and even the elders of the two parties helped to guide her, so she didn't suffer a little bit.

She originally thought that her life would be so peaceful and happy, spent like a fairy tale, but who knew that her husband had an accident in middle age, leaving behind a daughter with such a cold-faced and indifferent personality.

Thinking of this, Qi's mother felt that God was unfair to make her suffer like this.

Her crying became louder, causing others to stare at her frequently:

"I've worked so hard to bring you to this age. Now you can move whenever you want, and the house is deserted. How can I live!"

Qi Zhen said softly:

"I was killed by my grandparents

Bring big ones. "

Qi's mother was stunned for a moment, she never expected that Qi Zhen would say that, in her consciousness, she gave birth to a child, and Qi Zhen grew up to such a big age, isn't she the one who brought him up?How can you say that?

Qi's mother said: "Then I don't care about you? They only brought you when they were young!"

Qi Zhen shook his head and said, "Then I was brought up by my grandparents and the boarding school. You really didn't take care of me much."

There was even a little smile on her face, and she said to her mother:

"Mom, to be honest, I really don't know what you think. When I was a child, my grandparents took me to live with my grandparents on weekends. When I can go to school, I will be sent to a boarding school. Why do you think you brought me up?" What about the big one?"

Qi's mother said, "Then we didn't support you?"

Qi Zhen said: "I don't think it makes sense to say these things now."

"You have the bank card, I will call you the money on time, take care of yourself, if you feel that you can't take care of yourself, just tell me, I will hire a nanny for you, and I will ensure that you can live a good life."

"Going home is out of the question, I said I wasn't kidding."

Qi's mother was completely flustered. It was acceptable for Qi Zhen to cry or scold her, but she couldn't accept that Qi Zhen was so calm, as if he had figured everything out, and had no affection for them.

Qi's mother asked: "Then you just give money? If you don't come back to see your parents, don't you love your parents?"

Qi Zhen seemed a little unbelievable. She looked at Qi's mother and hesitated before asking, "Love? Then have you ever loved me?"

Qi's mother didn't answer immediately. During the few seconds she was thinking, Qi Zhen looked at her quietly, the light in her eyes gradually dimmed, and finally said lightly:

"Forget it, I don't want to know."

Qi Zhen picked up the bag next to him, took one last look at Qi's mother, and said with a half-smile:

"Actually, babysitting is kind of like boarding school, don't you think?"
