Disciplinary Guidelines

Here in Xiao Tong, Ji Yao heard another version of all the stories.

During those years of dating, Ji Yao initially wondered why Jiang Heng never mentioned his family.At that time, he felt that Jiang Heng had reservations, so he was unwilling to tell him too many personal matters, but it was not until today that he realized that Jiang Heng had nothing to say.

Xiao Tong is a very arrogant woman. When she was young, she married Jiang Yi against her parents' will and had a fight with her father, so no matter how bad things were after marriage, she never sought help from her family.

Jiang Yi's family conditions are not good, so Xiao Tong can only start from scratch with him.At first, I set up a street stall to sell some odds and ends, and later I went to sell mechanical supplies, running business during the day and entertaining at night.After more than five years of this kind of life, they finally had their own company and began to stabilize.

In Jiang Heng's life, his parents worked hard outside the home a few years ago, and as a half-left-behind child, he only saw his parents a few times a year.

And when he was ten years old, his father's cheating was exposed, and he began to act recklessly. There was a sudden change in the family, and the world was turned upside down overnight.

He hated the instigator, and he didn't want to stay in that changed home, so he made his own decisions when he entered school in the second year, and he simply went to boarding school and never returned home.

No wonder, Ji Yao thought, there are no parents in this world who would play with their children endlessly.

It turned out that those things that Jiang Heng "picked out" lightly were the whole of his family life.

"When he was eight years old, the company at home was in a period of rapid development. I happened to discuss a big case, and I wanted to celebrate it with him." Xiao Tong said: "But at that time, I was immature, and I was a child. Temper, drove the car all day without eating, and was really hungry when I got home, and I didn’t have time to prepare meals, so I cut a piece of his cake and ate it.”

"When he came back from school that day, he almost cried because he couldn't cut the cake with me." Xiao Tong said: "I didn't take it seriously at that time, so I could only coax him to say it. He is a very good boy. Then it turned the page.”

"But when I thought about it later, I really shouldn't." Xiao Tong sighed, and said, "He is a child, he doesn't want dragon liver and phoenix gall, nor does he want that cake—he just wants me to accompany him. Just him."

Xiao Tong's last words were like a needle with fluff, piercing Ji Yao's heart very sharply. His breathing was stagnant, and he felt a pain in his chest.

He thought of the failed trip to the hot spring three years ago, and recalled Jiang Heng's tone when he talked about his birthday.

He didn't say he was sad at all, he didn't say he was disappointed, he just said, "What a big deal."

Children are obviously the most unreasonable, if an adult contradicts his promise, or accidentally touches the child's young self-esteem, it is easy to provoke a show of resistance.

Ji Yao's own family is so dull and depressing, but as long as he is obedient and obedient, he can still lose his temper and act coquettishly or playful under the eyes of his parents.

Jiang Heng was undoubtedly a very good child since he was a child. He was considerate, careful and precocious, and he knew how to write the word "transposition thinking" very early on.He knows what his parents do when they go out, so he can understand each other's difficulties.

But the funny thing is that in this world, good kids always suffer the most.

Ji Yao lowered his eyes, staring at the golden shrimp ball in front of him, his mind was in a mess, he had all kinds of thoughts.

The past and the present are intertwined in a mess, messier than the shrimp balls in front of them.

In fact, Ji Yao is not a saint either. During those difficult days in the past, he occasionally couldn't help but shirk a little responsibility, wondering why Jiang Heng didn't come to question him when he found out about this matter.

But now Ji Yao suddenly understands, he can't say it - he has never received a response to his intimate appeals since he was a child, so maybe he doesn't know how to get angry with people close to him at all.

"I was thinking that one or two birthdays is nothing. When the company fully matures, there will be many opportunities in the future. But I didn't expect that Jiang Yi would be found cheating later." Xiao Tong said.

She originally wanted to divorce in a fit of anger, but Jiang Yi insisted on refusing, so Xiao Tong could only separate from him, thinking that he would file for divorce after the year of separation.

"When I was young, I was ignorant, and I only cared about myself when I was doing business. We didn't go home very often during the time when we were doing business. At that time, I always told him to be considerate of my parents, and I will be stable in the future." Xiao Tong sighed long He breathed a sigh of relief: "He promised very well, and then he did it-but I didn't expect that in the end it was the family who failed to persevere."

Ji Yao could tell that until today, Xiao Tong really regretted it.

But he didn't know what to say, or even whom to blame.The charming girl of the sky suddenly fell into the dust, and she had to work hard for the future with her own hands to support herself and her family. This may not be easy for her.Coupled with the fact that she married young and gave birth to a child before she grew up, it seems not surprising that she could not immediately transform from a girl into a perfect mother due to two factors.

In fact, there are tens of thousands of left-behind children in the world. If nothing happened to Jiang Yi, Xiao Tong would work hard with him for more than ten years and earn a stable family business, which would be a good thing for their family.

But just when all the hardships are coming, everything just happened.

Ji Yao seemed to vaguely understand why Jiang Heng hated his father so much that he would say "never go back to Shanghai again".

Because for him, Jiang Yi is not only the betrayer of the family, but also the culprit who broke his hope.

Later, the family became torn apart, Xiao Tong began to wander, Jiang Heng officially entered the boarding school, and began to take care of his own affairs from then on.Xiao Tong felt guilty towards him, so he worked harder to make money, trying to make up for him materially.

But the more she wanted to make money, the busier she became. Jiang Heng saw that the busier she was, the less he wanted to cause trouble for her, so he gritted his teeth and solved everything by himself, never telling her.

Jiang Heng reported the good but not the bad, and always hid his sadness, anger and sadness behind his back, leaving only Xiao Tong a mature and sensible son.

However, if he didn't say anything, Xiao Tong thought that this compensation model was correct, so they soon fell into an endless loop, caring about each other, but misplaced each other.

After a long time, Jiang Heng himself got used to it.He can solve everything by himself, so gradually, he doesn't even have the idea of ​​asking for help from the outside world, and he is no longer even used to the warmth and help from the outside world.

Until he grew up and became a man of indomitable spirit, he seemed to have really become a steel frame, impervious to all poisons and wind and rain, and even took the initiative to persuade Xiao Tong to let her go early Find your own new world.

As expected of a lawyer, Ji Yao thought.

If it wasn't for Xiao Tong, Ji Yao might never have known these things.His impression of Jiang Heng's family will always remain at the ease of "going down the river to fish and play billiards".The funny thing is that Jiang Heng obviously didn't lie, he just said half of everything, so in a few words, he turned the original heavy feelings into the capital of talking and laughing.

Ji Yao suddenly felt that if he was a coin, how many "backsides" had he had that no one could see clearly over the years.

"I'm a dereliction of duty mother." Xiao Tong said softly: "I always thought that he didn't need me, until the winter of last year, he suddenly went to France to find me once."

The year before last, Ji Yao quickly calculated in his mind that it should be a year after they broke up.

"At that time, he looked very unhappy. He drank a lot of wine during dinner. After the meal, he lay on the sofa and hugged a pillow on my lap." Xiao Tong said.

At that time, Xiao Tong had just been married for a whole year, and he was still thinking about his son in a foreign country. At first glance, when he saw Jiang Heng coming, he was overjoyed, and all his attention was on him.

But Jiang Heng's mood was rare, he drank too much, pillowed on Xiao Tong's lap, turned over suddenly after a long while, and put his arms around her waist.

"Mom." Jiang Heng asked softly, "Can I stay with you for two more days?"

Xiao Tong didn't realize anything at the time, she looked at Jiang Heng in wonder, and reached out to stroke his hair.

"Of course, you can stay as long as you want." Xiao Tong said, "If you want to, come and live with us after you finish your studies in England, that would be the best."

Her words seemed to comfort Jiang Heng, he responded vaguely, leaned on Xiao Tong, and did not speak for a long time.

But that day was really unfortunate. Amber suddenly developed a high fever in the middle of the night. Charles didn't want to disturb their mother and son's night conversation, so he ran lightly to the living room to search the medicine box, but he was not very skilled in business, so Ding Dong searched for a while, and let Jiang Heng know.

Then the next day, Jiang Heng boarded the leaving train, saying that he was going to Sweden to see the snow.

At that time, Xiao Tong didn't understand why he left suddenly, until one day a week later, when she was eating at the dining table, she suddenly realized it.It wasn't until then that she realized that it wasn't that Jiang Heng didn't need her, he just didn't want to cause trouble for her—even though Xiao Tong didn't think he was trouble at all.

Some things seem to be understood for a moment, especially when you realize it later, it hurts more.

Xiao Tong is like this, Ji Yao is no better than her.

Ji Yao's throat was tight, and he didn't know how he managed to force the words out of his throat: "Why... did he find you all of a sudden?"

"I don't know, maybe he was in a bad mood at that time." Xiao Tong lowered his eyes, shook his head, and said, "It happened to be Christmas that day, and I thought he was here to celebrate my wedding anniversary with Charles. .”

The string in Ji Yao's mind suddenly snapped. He keenly caught two key words, as if he was afraid that he might hear it wrong, and asked again: "Wedding anniversary... what day is it?"

"Christmas." When Ji Yao talked about his love history with Jiang Heng, he didn't mention the date of their breakup, so Xiao Tong didn't understand what he cared about for a while, and subconsciously said: "December 25th."

Ji Yao suddenly understood.

It wasn't until today that he really had a concept——Jiang Heng went to school by himself, lived his life, and signed the operation notice by himself. From the day Ji Yao met him, he seemed to be jumping from a crack in a rock. came out the same.

He is friends everywhere, but he doesn't have a family.

He had wanted to think of himself as a family member, but he had failed his trust.

It turned out that in the past so many years, among all the choices, Jiang Heng was the one who was given up.

Even, perhaps for Jiang Heng, on the same day, he and Xiao Tong abandoned Jiang Heng successively.
