innocent deception

Marriage Matters No.30 Nine Articles: "Family."

Probably when Yu Jinnan was very young, he already knew what kind of undercurrent was hidden under his glamorous family.Political marriage has brought Yu Jinnan material conditions that are envied by others, but what follows is also a childhood that is difficult for others to empathize with.

From then on, Yu Jinnan became less talkative, and the teachers in the school often discussed Yu Jinnan's unsociable character behind his back.The frequent quarrels between father and mother had exhausted Yu Jinnan, who was not yet fully sensible. Neither of them seemed to want to continue the marriage that had long existed in name only.

His mother always looked at him with very complicated emotions. When he was a child, Yu Jinnan thought that his mother didn't love his father, but at least loved himself, because he was born in October of her pregnancy after all; As time passed, he suddenly discovered that his mother's love for him seemed to be in disguise. He not only hated his father, but also seemed to hate his son.

When Yu Jinnan was in middle school, his father and mother finally divorced, and the seemingly incompatible two finally got rid of each other.Originally, the reason they got married was because the companies of both parties could get the maximum benefit. Now even without the maintenance of marriage, the company can still run well.So who would be willing to go home every day and face someone who doesn't love him at all?So they went through the divorce procedures non-stop, as if a second of delay would make them feel more uncomfortable.

Yu Jinnan still remembered that his mother was smiling brightly and happily when she left home, at least in his impression that this woman hadn't smiled that much for many years.Soon after his mother left, his father returned home and drove him to his grandparents.

He really didn't care who he was with after the two of them divorced, but the funny thing was that neither of them wanted him.

Later, Yu Jinnan grew up in the home of the two old people. Fortunately, the two old people were sincere to him, and Yu Jinnan's life finally calmed down, and these things he had never told Xia Diyi of.

Xia Di also took the phone from his ear after he finished saying "Got it". After listening to him, he saw him cut off the call and asked in a hurry: "Auntie?"

"Ah."

"She wants to see me?"

"Correct."

Xia Diyi's expression instantly became tense: "When?"

"Not yet." This conversation also made Yu Jinnan's heart heavy.

Xia Di naturally didn't know the twists and turns, he seemed quite happy: "Then tomorrow?"

"Didi..." The two chatted in the hallway for so long, and now they finally remembered that this was their home.Yu Jinnan had been traveling outside for a day, and his last breath was easily defeated by this phone call.

"I...not what you think..." The man struggled to organize his words, "My family situation is a bit complicated..."

The fatigue between the brows of the man sitting on the sofa was gradually revealed at this moment. Xia Di also listened to his faltering expression, and the excitement in his heart that he could meet his parents gradually cooled down.

According to Xia Diyi's understanding of Yu Jinnan, whenever he talked to himself in this tone, it was basically something that he really had a hard time saying or didn't want to tell others.

He went to the kitchen and poured Yu Jinnan a cup of warm water, and put it in front of him. Xia Di also said to him in a relaxed tone: "Yu Jinnan, you don't have to say anything if you don't want to."

"I..." In fact, Yu Jinnan didn't mean to say it, but the harm his parents brought to him ran through his entire growth path, and he didn't know where to start for a while.

"Then let's not talk about it." Xia Di didn't want to force him, so he changed the subject and shouted that he was so hungry, "During the day, Yanyan told me that there is a private kitchen that has delicious food, and their home can order takeout. I said tell me to try it with you."

Yu Jinnan was stunned: "I'm with you?"

"Yes, otherwise who would I eat with?"

Yu Jinnan hesitated and said, "But doesn't Shi Yan really hate me..."

"That's right..." Xia Di also said casually, "To tell you the truth, if there is only me in the world, then only Shi Yan will pay attention to you the most. It's just that we didn't go to college. Son, otherwise I guess she will write an observation diary, researching what you eat, what you drink, what color cup you like to use for homework, what brand of pen..."

Yu Jinnan felt a chill down his spine: "...Huh?"

Xia Di also lowered his head and found the shop that Shi Yan mentioned. He added the signature dish, boiled pork slices, to the shopping cart, then raised his head and smiled sullenly: "So Yu Jinnan, please don't divorce me. .”

"Don't betray me, or your end will be really miserable."

"Didi," Yu Jinnan said abruptly, "Let me tell you about me."

This man seems to always bring surprises to people. Xia Di didn't expect that he failed to change the subject. He laughed and said, "That's not what I meant. I didn't mean to force you. If you don't want to say it, you don't have to say it."

"It's okay, I want to say."

"No, I don't want to hear it."

"Listen to me."

"I don't want to hear I don't want to hear!"

"Dee Dee—"

"Yu Jinnan, don't kidnap me!"

"I do not have."

"Then tell me." Xia Di was also worried that the two of them would touch Yu Jinnan's injured left hand when they pinched, he said helplessly, as if he was really forced, "Can I listen?"

"My father and mother divorced when I was in junior high school, and then I lived with my grandparents. My mother remarried a few years later and gave birth to a son."

Xia Di also waited for a while without waiting for the follow-up: "And then?"

"It's over."

"Gone?"

"Gone."

Xia Diyi's family background is very different from Yu Jinnan's. According to his experience of watching TV dramas, it should be very normal for this kind of thing to happen in Yu Jinnan's family.The living room fell silent, Xia Di also added the details based on these brief words, for example, Yu Jinnan's mother does not love him, for example, the relationship between Yu Jinnan and his father may be the same.

"Then you go abroad, the capital to start a company now..." Xia Di also pondered for a long time, but the first thing he thought of was money, "Where did the money come from?"

"Of course it belongs to my father." Yu Jinnan felt that Xia Diyi's brain circuit was also quite magical, "He doesn't care about me but likes to dominate me. Back then he didn't allow me to come out and start a company by myself. I fought against him for a long time. It was time for him to nod."

"I borrowed from him the funds that the company needed to invest in the early stage, and then I returned the money to him when the company was up and running." Yu Jinnan said with emotion, "Didi, if I don't have the ability, maybe what's waiting for me is a political marriage .”

Xia Di also thought to himself that this man just said what he said, why did he boast about it?He mentioned a name with a smile on his face: "Lin Yuning?"

Yu Jinnan choked for a moment, obviously realizing that he had said something wrong, he tried his best to redeem him: "No, Didi, I will marry you no matter what."

"Yu Jinnan, you are really a person who can't speak."

"I know." Yu Jinnan unconsciously said stiffly, "So I am trying my best to change myself."

"It's not necessary." Xia Di also smiled, pointing, "Anyway, I can understand what you mean, but if you don't say it, it will make you appear more sincere."

"Oh...so it looks like I'm lying now?"

"picture."

"Okay... Got it."

The two discussed it in bed for a long time at night, and finally decided to meet again the next day.Yu Jinnan told Xia Diyi some stories about his childhood. At that time, Xia Di also looked at the dark ceiling and said silently: "It's okay Yu Jinnan, at least you still have money, at least you won't be bullied starve."

Yu Jinnan answered "Yes" dumbfounded.

Xia Di also groped and touched Yu Jinnan's cheek in the dark, comforting him like coaxing a child: "Okay, okay, go to bed, I'll see my aunt tomorrow, she will definitely like me."

"Ah."

The next day, Yu Jinnan sent a text message to his mother, and made an appointment for a time and place. Xia Di also picked out clothes in front of the closet for a long time, and finally found one that was satisfactory.

Yu Jinnan always had a worried expression on his face. Although Xia Di also went with him, he was afraid that if his mother said something and he couldn't control the situation, who would know what the consequences would be.Xia Di also dressed neatly and smiled to reassure Yu Jinnan: "Yu Jinnan, Auntie will not force you to divorce me like my mother. What are you worried about?"

"Dee Dee..."

"Let's go! If you don't go out to work, you will be late!"

The agreed time is at one o'clock in the afternoon, a coffee shop with strong privacy.Yu Jinnan and Xia Diyi drove to their destination after lunch together. On the way, Xia Diyi kept thinking about what to say when he saw Yu Jinnan's mother.To be honest, he is also very nervous, but there is someone who is even more nervous than him, so he has to play the role of activating the atmosphere between the two of them.

There were almost no people in the coffee shop during the lunch break on weekdays. When the two walked to the door of the box, they heard some immature voices from inside. Xia Di also thought of the younger brother Yu Jinnan mentioned, and asked him: "Yu Jinnan , when was the last time you saw your aunt?"

"I don't remember." Yu Jinnan met his gaze, "I haven't seen her since college."

At that moment, Xia Di also seemed to understand why Yu Jinnan was so nervous.

The box was designed in a European style, and there was a square table for four. When Xia Di also entered, she saw a woman in a dark brown trench coat, and a boy about ten years old was sitting on the seat beside her.

The four looked at each other, and the boy yelled uncomfortably when he saw the stranger: "Mom..."

Yu Jinnan didn't lie, the communication between the mother and son was limited to the phone call, so when he looked at his mother who was obviously a stranger, he was in a daze for a moment.

"Ruirui has a little cold these two days, so he is more clingy to me; I was worried about letting the nanny take him with me, so I brought him out." The woman is not as strong as she appeared on the phone when I really met, Xia Di Yi kept his eyes on the silent Yu Jinnan. Seeing that he hadn't spoken for a long time, he took the initiative to say, "Hello, Auntie."

"Hello." She smiled and said to the boy who had been making noise, "Ruirui, I'll ask my brother to take you to buy your favorite cake, okay?"

The boy raised his head and looked timidly at the two strange men in front of him. He should have met Yu Jinnan before, but he was still too young at that time, so he had no memory of Yu Jinnan.

"Mom...I..."

"Didn't you keep saying you wanted to eat cake when we came here?" Yu Jinnan stared at the picture of the woman coaxing the child, and a very strange thought came to her heart - so she could be a competent mother .

"I'll let this brother take you there, okay?"

After all, the child was young and couldn't stand the temptation. The boy quickly nodded, and the brother she was talking about was Yu Jinnan.

The woman's intention to distract the man was too obvious, Xia Di also reached out and patted Yu Jinnan inconspicuously, implying that he would follow his mother's wishes.

Yu Jinnan glanced around lightly, and then walked out first; the woman then patted the boy's buttocks, Xia Di also watched him walk out of the box, and heard a crisp "Brother."

"My surname is Shi, you can call me Aunt Shi." The well-maintained woman seemed to be only 40 years old at most, and Xia Di also sat opposite her, and she continued, "Yu Jinnan's luck is really good, look Come out, you love him very much."

I have to say that these two people are worthy of being mother and son, even though their mother-son relationship also exists in name only, but their ability to not speak is exactly the same.

"Aunt Shi, what you say makes me feel that you don't want Yu Jinnan to be happy at all." Xia Di also said with a smile, but there was no sense of joke in the words.

Shi Minzhi didn't expect that such a handsome man would talk back quietly, so she bent the corner of her mouth to smooth things over for herself: "Don't mind me, I speak straighter, of course I didn't mean that."

"I know, I was just joking with you."

"How did you know each other?"

"We are college classmates."

"It's difficult to get along with him, isn't he? He had a weird personality when he was a child, and his classmates didn't like him very much." Xia Di also felt that she had no need to belittle Yu Jinnan in front of him, after all, they were all Yu Jinnan in the scene family.

He also finally understood why she was so gentle when they first came in, because there was the boy present, and she loved him so she couldn't let the boy think she was a bad mother.

"I don't think so." A clear answer came from the box, "I think he is very good."

"Speaking of which, I still have to thank Aunt Shi for giving birth to Yu Jinnan." Xia Di also frowned, with a faint smile on her face, "Otherwise I wouldn't have met such a good man."
