Inertia Dependence of Rebirth

Chapter 4: Overwhelmed

Duan Ling found out that he was constantly in a daze tonight.He had thought about many bad possibilities and knew how to deal with them, but the current situation was completely beyond his expectations.

Could this be a parent meeting?

Could it be that the Duan family and the Qi family met face to face when he was 20 years old, but he never knew it?He was drunk every night at the time, and he didn't know many things and it wasn't hard to understand.

The person standing in front of him turned out to be—Yue, mother, Da, Ren.Now Duan Ling finally knows why she looks so familiar, because Qi Jingrui's appearance is somewhat inherited from her!But he just couldn't remember it at all!

So, the mother-in-law walked away step by step surrounded by the crowd.Duan Ling regained his composure and hurried to follow.

Qi Jingrui was walking beside his mother, Duan Ling saw him lower his head and whispered something in her ear, and Madam Qi smiled and nodded.

Duan Ling calmed down his confused thoughts, thinking about what he should say to Mrs. Qi to make it up, because he felt that his mother-in-law didn't have a good impression of him.Just as Duan Ling was thinking, Madam suddenly turned her head and glanced at Duan Ling.

Duan Ling was agitated by her sharp gaze, but the other party just looked at him and didn't express anything else.

Looking at the background of them gradually walking away, Duan Ling regretted almost bitterly.At that time, he only thought about the bad side, how could he have guessed that this was actually meeting the parents.

The old man and Duan Ling's two brothers kept sending Madam Qi out of the courtyard and out of the gate until she got into the car.

Qi Jingrui said: "Uncle, don't give it away anymore, just leave it to me."

"Okay," the old man nodded, "Be careful on the road. Today, you have to worry about it all night. Duan Ling is really getting more and more unruly now. I will definitely discipline him later."

Duan Ling stood behind the old man, couldn't hear what they said clearly, only saw Qi Jingrui smiled slightly, his father nodded to him again, and then he drove away.

Duan Ling stood beside the eldest brother, he sighed softly, "Brother, if you remind me of such an important matter earlier."

"I reminded you," the eldest brother took out his mobile phone and handed it to Duan Ling, "You see for yourself how many calls I have made for you."

Duan Ling was silent for a moment, "I dropped my phone."

The eldest brother patted him on the shoulder, "Okay, okay, actually this is not a particularly important occasion. Mrs. Qi just returned to China today, and our family just invited Mrs. Qi to dinner. It is said to be a family banquet, but it is not that serious Well, if you're late, be late, I don't think it's a big deal."

"They returned home today?"

Big brother nodded.

But in Duan Ling's memory, Madam and Qi Jingrui went to Germany and didn't come back for seven years!As for why they did this, Duan Ling never ignored them, and even deliberately avoided any news about the Qi family.Because he has made up his mind to leave that person.

In this way, how much has he missed?

Duan Ling asked: "Brother, do you know why they stayed in Germany for so long?"

"The headquarters of the Qi family is in Germany. They can just move back and don't have to come back. And..." the elder brother sighed, "Actually, Mrs. Qi has been treating illnesses for the past two years, and she has only improved a little in the past few years. .”

After finishing speaking, the eldest brother glanced at Duan Ling and asked, "Didn't you never let anyone mention anything about the Qi family in front of you? Why did you suddenly ask me today?"

Duan Ling said, "That's my mother-in-law."

The eldest brother was taken aback, "Huh?"

The old man turned back after seeing off the guests, so Duan Ling followed him in, the eldest brother was still standing there pondering what Duan Ling said just now, he immediately chased after him, pulled Duan Ling and asked, "Did I hear correctly just now? You said, she is your mother-in-law! How can this be your mother-in-law?"

Before Duan Ling could answer, the elder brother suddenly realized again.

"So, that's what dad meant! I said why it was so grand, it bluffed me. But then again, it's your fault, since you already know that you are going to meet the other party's parents tonight , then why are you still playing missing? I blame me for not reminding you, so where did you go tonight?"

"I thought there was nothing important tonight, so I went out with someone else."

"But didn't Dad just say that he told you about this before?"

Duan Ling thought silently, his father probably really mentioned this to him a few days ago, but most likely he just said it lightly, and missed this important message if he didn't pay attention.

Seeing that Duan Ling was in a low mood, the eldest brother comforted him: "I think it's just a meal, you didn't come if you didn't come, and I don't think Mrs. Qi is very angry, but you, why are you so flustered? I see you froze on the spot for a long time without moving or saying a word, did it really scare you?"

Duan Ling silently lowered his eyes.

"Okay, I don't think it's a big deal," the elder brother patted him on the shoulder, "Father and Mrs. Qi are very close, so don't worry about it. Judging from your performance tonight, at most people think you're not very good." Sensible, there is absolutely no need to hate you, and I won't."

Duan Ling felt helpless for a while, "It would be great if he just told me, 'My mother is at your house'! Then I must understand, and I shouldn't be so stiff, but what did he say? I take care of myself. Hey... none of you have reminded me directly. "

The elder brother asked back, "Your words are strange, what do you want us to remind you of?"

Duan Ling was stunned by the question.Indeed, except for himself, other people probably cannot feel the importance of this matter. After all, it is still too early, and everything is unknown.

The eldest brother continued to analyze: "And you think about it, what position does the other party have to stand in to say 'my mother is at your house'? This sounds very intimate, and it should be done after the relationship is confirmed." Can you say it? But nothing has been decided yet, so why make it so ambiguous? And the most important thing is..." The elder brother paused for a while, and looked at Duan Ling's face seriously, to make sure that Duan Ling was not angry Finally, he continued, "Have you separated from him? So, I thought you really didn't want to come back tonight..."

Duan Ling was silent again.

So, the eldest brother also followed and quieted down.After a while, he put his arms around Duan Ling's shoulders, and silently led Duan Ling into the room.

When he returned to the lobby, Duan Ling found that his father was sitting on the sofa, as if he wanted to question him.

Sure enough, the old man asked him, "What did you do tonight? Why are you still drinking?"

Duan Ling was embarrassed, in fact, he didn't remember it at all, he only knew that he woke up at the nightclub.

"Dad, I thought there was nothing important tonight, so I just... went out."

"Who are there?"

Duan Ling couldn't even remember this clearly, most likely he was just a friend or a friend.

"Uh...probably the ones I met a long time ago."

"name."

Duan Ling could only say, "I don't really remember."

The old man raised his eyes, "You are dealing with me."

Duan Ling paused, "Dad, I didn't mean to be perfunctory to you..." I really forgot.

"I don't remember what I did tonight? Isn't this perfunctory?"

"I……"

The eldest brother saw that the trend of the conversation was not going well, so he came up to smooth things over, "I think Duan Ling is also quite tired tonight, Dad, you should go to bed early, let's ask about these trivial matters later."

The old man lowered his face and remained silent.

The elder brother said again, "It's true that people can't remember things clearly when they drink too much. You can see that he has lost his soul tonight. Let's ask him after he wakes up, okay?"

The old man sighed, although his face was still silent, but the elder brother knew that his father had softened his heart.So Duan Ling was dragged down.

The eldest brother gave Duan Ling a slight push on the forehead to bring him back to his senses, "I said what's wrong with you tonight? You always have a blank expression, and you answer very dullly when you ask anything. It doesn't look like you at all. You, and often distracted, what hit you?"

"If you knew the direction of the future and knew that you were going to die, wouldn't you feel panicked and unbelievable now?"

The eldest brother looked puzzled, "I don't understand what you are talking about."

Duan Ling looked out of the window, his eyes became farther away, "I feel... It's like I had a long and terrible nightmare, and now I finally woke up."

"No matter how scary a nightmare is, it's just a dream. There's nothing to be afraid of."

Duan Ling smiled, "You're right."

"Why are you talking so much tonight, all right, you can go take a shower now to wash off the smell of alcohol, okay?"

"it is good."

It wasn't until that moment that Duan Ling really relaxed his tense nerves.

He walked into the bathroom, turned on the shower, and the warm water poured out, and soon a dense mist evaporated in the room, and the originally cold body gradually warmed up.Duan Ling became calmer and calmer, and his previously chaotic thinking became more and more clear. He began to recall that long nightmare in detail again.He began to re-examine those doubts that had been skipped over, such as why did he have an intersection with Xia Chen?Is it by accident or on purpose?

Two years ago, on Duan Ling's birthday, he and Qi Jingrui had a very unpleasant incident.It was this that caused Duan Ling to have a knot in his heart that was difficult to unravel. He paranoidly thought that Qi Jingrui didn't care about him at all, and even looked down on him.

Since they can't love deeply, then give up completely.

So from then on, Duan Ling stopped clinging to him and began to distance himself.He just wanted to hide away so that he could completely forget about the other party.

But now, Duan Ling has no doubt that the other party loves him, and he never left him from the beginning to the end.

After Duan Ling came out and returned to his bedroom, he found that there was only a picture of his mother on the bedside table.

Yes.He and Qi Jingrui had a big fight two years ago, and they separated after that.At that time, in order to forget the other party, he burned all the things related to the past, and he didn't leave a single photo.

At that time, Duan Ling believed that the other party didn't love him that much, but thinking about it now, he was completely wrong.

He actually suspected that the other party didn't love him!

Duan Ling thought about it, and his thoughts returned to two years ago...
