I didn't make a special call back and left early without anything. I took the subway to the nearby area and then took a taxi. Although the subway was faster, it was still dark when I got there.
The bright lights held me back a little. I used to go crazy and come back late. When I saw the lights at home, it would be very warm.
But then everything changed.
This is no longer my warmest home, nor is it my shelter. This is someone else's home. When I come here, I can only be like a guest. I'm uncomfortable anyway.
However, I'm not here to see anyone or come back to pick up anything. Many of my things have been thrown away and cleaned up.
After taking a breath, I opened the low wooden gate and went in. The aroma of lavender became more and more strong.
I knocked on the door and a brisk female voice said, "who's here?"
Tu Yuannan opened the door and was surprised when he saw me, but he immediately changed into a warm smile: "master, look who's coming. It's Xiaomi."
My father also stood up. They looked like they had just finished dinner. Qiao's mother was tidying up the dishes and chopsticks. In the hall, Chen Jiayin was playing the piano. When she saw me coming, she turned her head in surprise, and then disdained to stop looking and continue playing her music.
I was like a intruder who disrupted other people's lives. Tu Yuannan smiled and wanted to pull me in: "Xiaomi, have you eaten yet? I shouldn't have eaten at this time. You called earlier. We'd better wait for you to eat together. Mom Joe, don't clean up. I'll come later. You hurry to cook two dishes Xiaomi likes."
"Don't be busy. I'm not hungry or want to eat. I'll just ask my father about something."
But my father still had to put on a high shelf, sat on the sofa and said, "what's the matter? Can't you ask on the phone?"
"Soon, just a few minutes."
"If you have anything, just say it." he didn't seem to want me to avoid his stepwife and little daughter. He didn't get up at all.
"Forget it. I'll call you later."
I turned and was about to leave, but he said coldly, "stop, Chen family, do you think it's a mess? Come and go if you want?"
"When I haven't been here."
"Chen Xiaomi." he was angry and threw the thing in his hand.
I sighed and didn't feel much sad. Anyway, I was used to it. Anyway, I didn't come with any hope.
"Lao Chen, don't be like this. Xiaomi just came back and didn't even drink a cup of tea. You lost your temper first. You're like this. You still think about how she'll come back? Xiaomi, come and sit down. I'll make you a cup of coffee. You young people like it."
"Don't be busy, come out for a while." I bowed my head, turned and went out.
I'll wait outside. If he doesn't come out in two minutes, I'll leave.
What uncle Pei told me is ringing in my ears. I just want to ask him to repay his kindness. What does Peifeng owe our family, or what? Why haven't I heard of it, and the third brother hasn't mentioned it.
The colder the wind, the more fragrant the lavender. It's obviously a kind of plant to calm the nerves and comfort, but I smell it, but I feel very uncomfortable.
As expected, I still prefer the fragrant lotus. Even the taste is not good for Peifeng to serve.
Maybe he won't come out again. I've been waiting for a minute.
But almost two minutes later, he came out and looked at me with cold anger.
"Dad," I whispered.
But he was still angry: "you know I'm your father. I thought you were my father."
"Look what you said."
"What do you want to say?"
I looked down at the toe of my shoe. The Rhinestones on the middle heels were shining. Pei Feng bought them for me. I changed a lot of shoes in the shoe cabinet. I quickly changed all my high heels. He bought a lot. I don't worry about finding shoes to match my clothes every day.
It's good to wear comfortable handmade shoes, which are much better than my high heels.
"I went to the hospital today."
"What's the matter?" he asked.
"I don't have anything. In the hospital, I met uncle Pei. He said something to me. He didn't think much of me being with Peifeng, but."
Before I finished, he interrupted me and said coldly, "don't talk about him. I don't think much of you, Chen Xiaomi. You're not 19 years old. You're 29. How old is he, and he's much better than you in all aspects. You think you're my daughter. Peifeng, he's not a simple doctor."
"Whether we are together or not, it doesn't matter to me, but I don't understand one thing. He said Peifeng was with me to repay kindness. I just want to know what kind of kindness he wants to repay?"
His face suddenly froze and his eyebrows frowned tightly.
"You want to know, why don't you ask Peifeng?"
"If I could ask, I wouldn't ask you. Did the Pei family owe us the Chen family anything?"
He seemed to be thinking that he hadn't spoken for a long time.
"Then I'll ask the third brother. The third brother may know. The third brother doesn't know. The second brother and the eldest brother are always known."
"You don't hit the south wall and don't look back, do you? If everyone advises you, you have to listen? You have to be so capricious, don't you?" he didn't want to say, but he angrily scolded me again.
"My character may be like this all my life, and I can't change it anymore. OK, I'll go, that's it."
He doesn't want to say. He always scolds me like this.
After only two steps, he stopped me: "stop."
I turned back and looked at him expectantly, hoping that he would tell me the truth.
He sighed and said, "go and see Peifeng's heart. He changed his heart."
"What does this have to do with our family?"
"Just ask him. I don't want to say anything else. If you want to go, go. It's useless to do anything without thinking."
His eyes are irresistible loss. I think it's funny. What else does he want to look forward to? Now he has a beautiful wife and young daughter, chenghuan. Do you still need me? Do you still care about me?
Turn around and go without stopping at all.
There is no car down the mountain here. I have to go outside. I was thinking about what he said all the way. Peifeng changed his heart. Uncle Pei said he just wanted to repay his kindness. Whose heart? Is it... It's my mother's.
My mother had a car accident and was sent to the hospital. Then, I don't know very well anyway.
