[Rebirth] Back to the big tree to enjoy the shade

After singing, it was almost five o'clock, and it was getting dark. After Ling Yun said goodbye to his classmates, he took Ling Qibi back to Maple Leaf Garden.

"Call my mother when I get home, so she won't worry." Ling Yun looked at Ling Qibi who was pouting in the passenger cab, and told her softly.

Ling Qibi let out a casual "um", looked at Ling Yun hesitantly, went back and forth a few times, saw that he was only concentrating on driving, bit his lip, and asked the question. "Second brother and the Tang Xiushi Wan Shihui mentioned, are they on good terms?"

She knew that Ling Yun likes to be alone, and this time she got in the car of a man she had never heard of, so she must have a good relationship. Thinking that Ling Yun is single now, Ling Qibi always felt very awkward, especially She knew Wan Shihui quite well, and her excessive attention to Ling Yun was obviously to find out the exact relationship between him and Tang Xiushi, which made Ling Qibi, who knew that Ling Yun liked the same sex, inevitably think too much.

Ling Yun couldn't help laughing, it seemed that Qi Bi was quite sensitive, and she hadn't always been one-sided.Although Wan Shihui knew Tong Juncheng in the past, it was also because of Ling Qibi, but at that time Ling Qibi never thought that what would happen next, besides, the reason for Tong Juncheng's derailment was all his own, without Ling Qibi, there would be the same The others, the Tong family at that time, could no longer tolerate him.

"It's just average, he helped me."

Ling Qibi breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that. "He is the soldier we mentioned earlier, Wan Shihui likes." She suddenly felt that such words sounded like a warning, she couldn't help but look embarrassed, she peeped at Ling Yun, seeing his calm expression, she couldn't help but sit up He twisted his lower back uncomfortably. "Brother, I'm not talking about you, I just think..."

"I know." Ling Yun interrupted Ling Qibi's hesitation. "It's just that you shouldn't believe everything that Wan Shihui said in the future. Today, Xia Nan in our class also mentioned that Tang Xiushi, saying that he will soon become his brother-in-law."

Although Xia Nan didn't mention his name directly, it didn't hinder Ling Yun's understanding and intentional retelling.

Ling Qibi turned her head abruptly, stared at Ling Yun's side face dumbfounded, unable to react for a long time.

"Tang Xiushi is already 26. He has been in the army all year round. It has been less than half a month since he came back. Let alone the ten-year difference between the two, your classmate has known him for a few days."

Ling Yun's voice contained some obvious sarcasm. Although Ling Qibi heard that she was coming, she did not defend her classmate for the first time. Remembering that other classmates had warned him before, she felt aggrieved.Next time we meet, she must ask in person, is this treating her as a fool?

Ling Yun looked at the anger in Ling Qibi's eyes and didn't care. Ling Qibi has been loved since she was a child. She has a hot temper and is more self-willed in doing things and speaking. Otherwise, she wouldn't yell at his brother face to face. Shihui had a falling out, and it would be a good thing to lose such a disgusting woman by Ling Qibi's side.

Ling Jimin was very surprised when Ling Yun and the unhappy Ling Qibi went home, but seeing that Ling Qibi wasn't angry with Ling Yun, he didn't investigate anymore, but was very happy that his granddaughter came so rarely.I specially asked Aunt Li to cook two more dishes that Ling Qibi loves.

In the evening, Chen Mengzhen followed Ling Kangquan and scolded Ling Qibi lightly. When she saw Ling Yun, Chen Mengzhen, who hadn't seen Ling Yun for half a year, acted lukewarm.Ling Kangquan, who was worried about his son, and Ling Qibi, who was always rough, looked at Ling Yun deliberately. Seeing that he didn't react and acted very calmly, Ling Qibi was relieved, but Ling Kangquan frowned.This time when they met, Ling Yun didn't even have the excitement and admiration he had when he saw Chen Mengzhen before, which made Ling Kang feel a sense of worry in his heart.

"Qibi, didn't your grandma call two days ago and said she missed you? It just so happens that it's a holiday now, and mom will take you there tomorrow." Chen Mengzhen looked at Ling Qibi and said softly.

When Ling Yun was young, Chen Mengzhen still took good care of Ling Yun. After all, he was just a little baby who lost his biological mother, but as he grew up, he became more and more like Shen Biqing, but at the same time, what he wanted was what she couldn't do. The maternal love paid.Chen Mengzhen began to avoid Ling Yun, and even gradually grew bored in her heart, so she was the most resistant to Ling Yun's coming out this time.

Although Ling Kangquan didn't appeal to it because of Ling Kangquan's affairs, Ling Qi would drive two hours from Jinghai back to Kyoto every weekend because of Ling Yun during the summer vacation, which made Chen Mengzhen very upset. She has been very unhappy since she came to Maple Leaf Garden with Ling Yun, so this time she didn't even care about superficiality, and directly confronted Qi Bi, wholeheartedly trying to separate the two.

Ling Yun had long noticed the hostility and rejection in Chen Mengzhen's eyes, and a sense of sadness arose in his heart. No matter what, he has called Chen Mengzhen's mother for so many years. Even if he no longer looks forward to her maternal love, he still does not want to see Seeing Chen Mengzhen's defensive eyes.Homosexuality is indeed easy to be discriminated against, but once people who are so familiar and close to them see themselves in this way, it will inevitably be embarrassing.He lowered his head and concentrated on eating the fruit.

For the first time, displeasure flashed across Ling Kangquan's eyes. After talking with Chen Mengzhen before, she clearly agreed well, but the last time Ling Qijun returned to the capital frequently, she showed some dissatisfaction with Ling Yun. Once it actually showed directly on the face.Ling Yun is a very sensitive child, this time he must be sad again.

He looked at Ling Yun subconsciously, but he clearly saw a trace of self-mockery and bitterness in his eyes, but he was not as shocked as he imagined. Thinking of the problem he noticed just now, Ling Kangquan tentatively opened his mouth.

"Xiaoyun, you've been busy for the past few days when you come back, why don't you go to Chen's house with Qibi tomorrow?"

Ling Yun raised his head and looked at several people with different expressions. "No, I have something else to do." He replied bluntly.

Chen Mengzhen froze, and she was not stupid. Her husband was obviously angry, so he hurriedly called out to make amends. "Yeah, look, I forgot. It's been a few days since Ling Yun came back, and it's almost time to rest. Let's go with Qibi to see your grandma. She hasn't seen you for half a year."

Ling Yun looked at her indifferently, his eyes were full of coldness and alienation. Chen Mengzhen's performance just now was enough to erase the last thought in his heart. "I'm not going to Chen's house."

He ignored Chen Mengzhen and Ling Kangquan's ugly faces, and stood up. "Grandpa, it's too late now, we should go soak our feet."

Ling Jimin let out a "huh", looked at Chen Mengzhen with a bit of sharpness and indifference, and looked at his son Ling Kangquan full of anger, let his grandson help him up, and slowly went back to the bedroom.

Ling Qibi looked at the strange atmosphere in front of her with a look of bewilderment, but her mind was still on Wan Shihui. Seeing that her grandfather and brother had also left, she also bid farewell to her parents and went back to the bedroom. Call to confirm some things.

"Kangquan, I'm sorry." Chen Mengzhen looked at Ling Kangquan who had turned cold after Qibi left, feeling uneasy. "I just, I just..."

"You just didn't like him in the first place. Now that you know he likes men, you don't want him to touch Qijun and Qibi, do you?" Ling Kangquan interrupted her coldly.

It was the first time he discovered that Chen Mengzhen seemed to have really changed, or maybe he hadn't seen it clearly.She is indeed a good wife and mother, but she is also too selfish.

Letting Ling Yun recognize her as his mother at the beginning, whether it was for Ling Qijun or Ling Yun, or for Chen Mengzhen to integrate into the Ling family as soon as possible, was a decision that had the best of both worlds, not to mention his marriage with Biqing, and there was nothing wrong with her.Unexpectedly, it has been almost 20 years, and Chen Mengzhen has not been able to come out. He did not force Chen Mengzhen to treat Ling Yun as a parent and child, but at the very least, when Ling Yun was already under tremendous pressure because of his sexuality, his family members did not want to leave. If you support him, at least you won't discriminate or reject him. Even for his sake, Chen Mengzhen shouldn't treat Ling Yun like this.Ling Kangquan was furious.

Chen Mengzhen's face turned pale. After so many years of marriage, this was the first time Ling Kangquan spoke coldly to her. "Kang Quan, I didn't mean it. You know, homosexuals are very..."

"Enough!" Ling Kangquan got up angrily, "You also watched Ling Yun grow up, don't you know what kind of person he is?" Looking at Chen Mengzhen's ashamed face, he suddenly sighed weakly: " Forget it, I shouldn't have counted on you, I just hope that when you appear in front of Xiaoyun in the future, it's okay to be a stranger instead of looking at him with colored glasses. As for Qijun, Qibi and Xiaoyun Brother and sister relationship, don't interfere in the future."

After speaking, regardless of Chen Mengzhen's terrified attempt to remedy, she left the living room with a cold face.

Ling Yun didn't know what happened in the living room. He knew that the old man was angry, so he calmed down and chatted for a while, talking about the day's itinerary, and then went back to the bedroom. But soon, the door of the bedroom was knocked He got up and spoke, and Ling Kangquan walked in.

"Father?" Ling Yun felt a little strange, thinking that he said just now that he would not go to the Chen family, he couldn't help but feel worried. In name, the Chen family is still his maternal ancestor's family. If he didn't go, the old-fashioned Ling Kangquan might feel that he Very rude.

Ling Kangquan walked in and saw that Ling Yun's room was very tidy, without the mess of ordinary boys. Thinking of the years of estrangement, he sighed and looked at Ling Yun who was a little nervous with a serious face.

"Xiao Yun, do you know about your mother?" Ling Kangquan asked bluntly. Since Ling Yun came out last time, he has behaved very strangely. It's just that he hasn't thought about it. Now that he thinks about it, he probably knew it a long time ago. It's no wonder that Chen Mengzhen has become a lot colder in the past six months.

Ling Yun couldn't react for a while, and then nodded.Since this matter is a fact, there is nothing shameful about his life experience. Of course, it can be said that even telling Qi Bi now, he feels nothing.

Ling Kangquan only felt a tight pain in his heart, and he looked at Ling Yun with a trace of guilt and annoyance.All this was ultimately caused by his negligence and self-righteousness.In fact, as Chen Mengzhen's alienated attitude towards Ling Yun became more and more superficial, the old man mentioned to him that he wanted him to tell Ling Yun about Biqing as soon as possible because he felt that Ling Yun was too young and was afraid that he would not be able to bear the fact I just wanted to wait for Ling Yun to become an adult, and then slowly confide in him. I didn't expect Ling Yun to come out suddenly after the college entrance examination, which completely disrupted his plan, and Ling Yun's serious setback in love made him even more afraid to tell the truth. .

"Father, I'm sorry, maybe it would have been better if I told you earlier." Ling Kangquan never thought that Ling Yun could hide his life experience for so long after he found out. Sad, this negligent son must have endured great pain in his heart before he could have such a transformation.

Ling Yun shook his head, he is not, it is easy to understand, Ling Kangquan made this decision painstakingly. "Father, just tell mother and Qibi about this, so that everyone doesn't have to guess."

Of course, Ling Yun's real purpose was to completely get rid of the Chen family. Seeing that the Spring Festival was approaching, he was no longer interested in accepting the white eyes and sneer from the Chen family for the sake of superficial peace.What's more, Li Haoping is now on the line with the Tang family and the Shen family. He doesn't know exactly when the Chen family offended his senior brother. Naturally, Ling Yun can't just sit back and watch the Chen family use the name of his maternal ancestor's family to ask him to resolve those contradictions.

Ling Kangquan remembered what Ling Yun said in the living room, "not going to Chen's house", and nodded clearly.

"Then don't go, as long as you are happy. Tomorrow, I will take you to see your mother. All her photos and diaries are also kept in my study, and I leave them to you." Ling Kangquan remembered his first time. Ren's wife felt a dull sadness in his heart. He had always regarded Biqing as an indispensable family member, and when they got married, they had actually decided to leave the past emotional entanglements behind. Who knew that there would be such a day? People are separated forever.

Hearing this, Ling Yun couldn't help showing a trace of relief and joy on his face, which made Ling Kangquan feel even more guilty. He quickly went back to the back bedroom, looked at Chen Mengzhen with red and swollen eyes, and just sat on the sofa chair beside him, saying something lightly. "Ling Yun already knows about his background."

Chen Mengzhen raised her head in panic, all kinds of abnormalities in the past six months flashed in her mind, no wonder she wanted to persuade him that time, but only got the first indifferent "mother", after that she tried so hard to stop Qi Jun, Ling Yun didn't either He didn't mind at all, even in the past six months of college life, he didn't even make a phone call to the compound, but directly contacted Maple Leaf Court.

Chen Mengzhen only felt that her chest was more depressed, looking at her husband's cold face, thinking of Qi Jun's persuasion, and Ling Yun's cold and indifferent face, she couldn't help feeling a bit of regret, feeling empty in her heart.

The next day, after Ling Yun came back from the cemetery, he placed the photo of Shen Biqing given by Ling Kangquan in the house without any taboo, and even bluntly stated in front of Ling Qibi that she was his biological mother.

Ling Qibi never thought that her second brother and she were not the same mother. Under Chen Mengzhen's silence, she called Ling Qijun to tell her.

"Little sister, you just need to know that Ling Yun is your second elder brother. Father, mother, and Aunt Biqing don't have any problem of being sorry to anyone else." Ling Qi persuaded with a sigh.

When Ling Qijun was despised and rejected when he was young, he actually complained about his mother, and even resented Ling Kangquan who didn't know his existence. Why did he have such an unbearable birth, why did he face such humiliation.When he really knows how to think from the other side's standpoint, he doesn't care anymore.That is the choice of the parents themselves, whether it is for opposing families or personal relationships.As for them, just live their own lives.

Ling Qibi, who was at the dream age, accepted the reality very quickly, and was no longer weird or worried because of Chen Mengzhen's indifference to Ling Yun. The only person who was not used to it might be Chen Mengzhen herself, but everything was gone. It's a foregone conclusion, and it's too late to regret it.

This day Ling Yun was holding the phone, listening to the other end of the phone line, the name he used to be familiar with was reporting himself there, with a mocking sneer on the corner of his mouth.

"Of course, Mr. Tong, see you tomorrow."
