From my father-in-law's face, I saw some dissatisfaction and disappointment, but even so, I could not change my original intention.
"Well," I said, "but I felt a little bit uncomfortable. I always thought it was inappropriate to let the father-in-law down." I went out. "
With a slight bow to my dissatisfied father-in-law, I quickly walked out of the dull living room.
Come to the company, those familiar colleagues who haven't seen for a long time have come to meet me, the joy on their face is not half false.
"Sister Chi, you really haven't come to the company for a long time. We are all worried about you." Xia Yi rushed up first, took my hand and said.
"Yes, leader, if you are not here, the company will be in a mess." The assistant said, "we've been looking forward to your return."
"Chaos or something," I smile to them, for a long time did not meet such enthusiasm, "the company is not always white in it? Even if I didn't come, I would only be better. "
"General manager Bai can't be used as two people," Xia Yi replied. "These days, we are worried that her body will not be able to bear the fact that general manager Bai has to fly in city a and City C almost every day."
"Well," another colleague said, "just last night, President Bai left a city by plane, saying that there was an important cooperation meeting over there, and she had to attend it with President Xie."
"It's good that sister Chi comes back now. Bai doesn't have to work so hard. We're more energetic now, don't we?" A colleague yelled.
"Yes Everyone responded.
"But sister Chi," Xia Yi looked at me, "you've really lost a lot of weight."
When he said that, everyone began to discuss it with you at a glance.
"Sister Chi," Xia Yi seemed to hesitate for a moment, and then said the sentence, "we've heard about Song Yu. You have to be patient."
At the mention of Song Yu, I have no way to hide my sadness, but at this moment, I can only smile.
"I know. Thank you for your concern." Then I walked toward the office, "everyone's gone. Xiao Chen will come in with me and report on the recent work."
As my assistant, Xiao Chen's work has always been steady. I think Bai Shu has done a good job in her work diary these days.
Xiao Chen is reporting the recent work situation to me, and the people in the office are pushed away. It's Bai Shu.
When she saw me, she looked very surprised.
"Xiao Wan, why are you here?" She came to her desk and brought a hot wind outside.
Xiao Chen retired at the right time, leaving me and Bai Shu in the office.
"I'm afraid if you don't come to work again, sister Bai, you will be tired and thin." I cheer up and don't want Bai Shu to worry about me any more.
"What do you say?" Bai Shu put down his bag, then came up and took my hand. We sat down on the sofa together. "Didn't I let you rest more at home? What do you look like
"Just in time, just in time to lose weight." I joked.
But Bai Shu was not amused by my jokes at all. She even looked at me sternly. "You don't have to pretend in front of me. It's obviously painful in your heart. Why do you want to be brave?"
To be brave is a familiar word.
A sour nose, accompanied by a strong feeling from the heart.
"Bai Jie, I'm sorry..." I lowered my head and took away the fake but tiring smile just now. My voice was very low.
"Fool, what do you tell me I'm sorry?" Bai Shu gently holds my hand.
Tears pattered down and hit our hands.
"Well, it's all over. Don't cry." Seeing this, Bai Shu simply hugged me and patted my back, but her voice began to tremble.
"Xiaoyu is over there. He must have a good life. We don't need to worry about him any more." Bai Shu comforted me while still crying, which made her consolation not convincing at all.
In the Huo family, I have to worry about my father-in-law and mother-in-law. I even have to suppress crying. Now, someone who can feel the same feelings as me finally comes to tell me. My sadness is like a flood.
"But I just can't bear him. Whenever I think of him, I feel so bad, really bad." I put my head on Bai Shu's shoulder and let her tears fall on her white professional clothes.
"I know, I know," Bai Shu comforted me, "you really love Xiaoyu, so you can't accept this reality, but late, even if you feel bad again, he won't come back."
I don't know if he can't come back, but human beings are fragile and sentimental animals. How can it be so easy to forget a person?
The two of us just hugged our heads and cried for a while in the office, and then each handed over a tissue for the other.
Bai Shu's situation is not much better than mine. She has to be sad for Song Yu and busy with the company's affairs. Her son may also have hired a nanny. She is also haggard recently.
"What are you going to do in the future?" Bai Shu calmed his emotions and asked me.
I don't know the purpose of her question. At the same time, I ignored my father-in-law's proposal in the morning and answered naturally, "of course, I want to follow elder sister Bai and continue to work in Chengguo."
"I'm not asking you this," Bai Shu said, but he didn't care much about my answer. "I'm asking about your family."
Things at home? I don't know where I am. Everything is normal at home now, except that I need time to recover.
"At home ·····" I deliberately avoided some seemingly insignificant small conflicts in my family recently. In order not to let Bai Shu worry, "everything is fine at home now. Yan Yan's body has recovered, and my parents in law are not embarrassed. SK is well organized under the management of Huo Qingchuan."
"Is it?" Listen to me, Bai Shu seems to have some disbelief.
"Well," I nodded, "everything in my life is in order."
"But I always feel a little uneasy." Bai Shu frowned, "are you really OK?"
"It's really OK," I said firmly, and then thought of something, "by the way, sister Bai, I may return to my hometown frequently recently. Xiaoyu's first seven gifts, I want to go back to see him."
"It's natural. If I have a chance, I'll go too." Bai Shu said.
"By the way," I thought of a man, "Tingting now
After the death of Song Yu, Deng Tingting left city a again and went back to work in the head office of city C. I know something about the reason. Maybe I don't want to feel sad in this city full of Song Yu's memories.
"I've been out of my mind all day, and I've been haggard a lot." Bai Shu sighed, "I look at all distressed, Song Yu that boy, in the end is to create how much evil ah, let so many women for him sad."
"I'll take over the company's business slowly," I said, "sister Bai, please take care of Tingting. I'm worried about what will happen to her."
"Don't worry, I've been looking at her." Bai Shu said.
"Well, please, sister Bai." I said.
We talked with Bai Shu for a while, and then we discussed about our current work, because we had been left behind for too many days. It was not until the end of the day that I had a general understanding of our recent work.
"I'll let Xia Yi take you home." After work, Bai Shu said to me.
I didn't refuse. I came out with Bai Shu and got on Xia Yi's car waiting outside.
It's still evening when I return to Huo's home. The setting sun shines on the black iron gate of Huo's home, which makes it especially solemn and forbidding for strangers.
"Xiao Xia, go back and I'll go in myself." After getting out of the car, I said to Xia Yi.
"Can you be alone?" Xia Yi asks uneasily.
"Nothing. This is my home. What can I do for you?" I waved to him.
As soon as Xia Yi's car left, the door was opened from inside.
I stepped forward and walked slowly towards the inside. The reason why I walk alone on the open road of Huo family manor is that I just want to be quiet.
In the middle of walking, there was a sound of whistle behind him.
Looking around, it's Huo Qingchuan's car.
He stopped beside me and rolled down the window.
"Come up!" He said.
Since it was Huo Qingchuan, I didn't have the chance to refuse. I opened the door and got into the co pilot's seat.
"The first day at work, tired or not?" He drives slowly and chats with me.
"It's OK," I said, "but I've saved so much work that I can't handle it in one or two days."
"Just be appropriate, don't be too tired." Huo Qingchuan looked at me and said.
I nodded, thinking of my father-in-law's words in the morning. Does Huo Qingchuan know his father-in-law's proposal?
Just hold for a long time, I still can't say the words of inquiry.
The two of us unknowingly came to the front of the house, parked the car, and walked into the house together.
I'm already preparing dinner. My parents-in-law and Yan Yan are already sitting on the seats. We also walk past.
"Come back together today?" Asked her mother-in-law.
"I saw her on the way, so we came back together." Huo Qingchuan replied.
Dinner together, the family began to automatically up.
Maybe it's my illusion that there's something wrong with the atmosphere.
But everyone is eating seriously. My father-in-law is as strict as ever. My mother-in-law takes care of Yan Yan. If you want to say that, there is nothing different from the usual.
Maybe I think too much. How can my father-in-law care about me?
"Dad, mom, Qingchuan," I put down my chopsticks, thinking that I'd better tell them my decision. "It's the first seven of Xiaoyu. I want to go back to my hometown and meet him."
When I said this, the people on the table stopped and looked at me.
"Are you going back to the first seven ceremonies?" My mother-in-law asked me.
I nodded, "if you can, I also want to take Yan Yan." I said.
My father-in-law continued to eat, "if you want to join us, we don't object, but Yan Yan won't go." He said in an irresistible tone.
I opened my mouth to express my views, but my mother-in-law also stepped in.
"Yes, I'm going to take Yanyan to meet important people these days. She can't go with you."
"But," I still don't give up, "Song Yu, he
"Just do what your parents want, and you can do it yourself." Huo Qingchuan cleanly cut off my idea.
