Flipping through the newspaper, Han Yuan was absent-minded, his mind still thinking about Gu Yan's stinking face.
At this moment, a young Chen from the office walked in, "Brother Han, Brother Yang, let's gather everyone for a meeting — —"
It was a meeting again! This Old Yang really likes meetings.
Although he was in a bad mood, he still had to be serious. Han Yuan immediately went to the meeting room to participate in the meeting.
Just like that, an entire morning passed.
Just after the meeting ended and he turned on his phone, he received a call from his mother.
"Far away, bring Gu Yan and Hong'er over tonight. Mom has some good fresh bamboo shoots here —" Mom said over the phone, not caring that Gu Yan didn't go for her birthday at all.
Han Yuan's heart was pounding. If Gu Yan's phone could not be reached, even if she could, she probably wouldn't answer it and wouldn't go to his mother's house for dinner.
"Alright, I'll try to get there earlier —" Han Yuan said.
Han Yuan especially admired his mother. After retiring from the provincial women's union, the old lady had retired and set up a home management company. She had solved the employment problems of hundreds of people and had even made her own pocket bulge.
It was amazing how busy and full the old lady was every day.
At four-thirty in the afternoon, he went to pick up Su'er, and once again called Gu Yan on the way. She still had her phone shut down!
How preposterous!
Han Yuan took his son and went straight to his mother's house.
F * ck, I don't care!
"Hong'er, let's go to Grandma's for dinner —" Han Yuan said to his son.
"What about Mom?" Han Hong asked with concern.
"Mom, she has something to do, so she works overtime —" Han Yuan made up an excuse.
Don't let the child know too much about grown-ups.
Han Hong sat in the back, silent. He was still a bit unhappy when his mother didn't go.
Because his mother loved him the most, she would take him wherever she went, and he wasn't used to leaving his mother.
Han Yuan could feel his son's silence. As he drove, he said, "Hong'er, do you miss Grandmother?"
Han Hong pouted but remained silent. At this moment, he was thinking about his mother.
"You have to say hello to Grandma when you see her. Grandma's in so much pain, right?" Han Yuan explained.
Han Hong still pursed his lips, but nodded obediently.
Soon, he arrived at his mother's house.
Han Yuan parked the car and took Han Su upstairs.
When he arrived at the door of the second floor, his mother had already opened it and was waiting for him. When she saw Han Hong, she immediately shouted happily, "Hong'er, come and let Grandma see, I miss you so much!"
"Hi grandma!" Han Hong greeted him obediently.
"My darling, come in quickly —" The old lady lovingly held Han Hong's hand as she walked inside and helped him to take off his schoolbag.
"Why isn't Gu Yan here?" his mother asked as she looked at Han Yuan, who was closing the door.
"Mom, you have to work overtime —" Han Hong immediately raised his head and said.
"Heh heh, Hong'er sure is obedient." The Old Granny smiled and said, "Come, let's eat lychee. We just picked it from the Litchi Garden in the afternoon —"
Han Yuan put down his bag and went to the kitchen. He found out that his mother had prepared a lot of ingredients: fresh bamboo shoots, reservoir ducks, yellow croaker, shrimp crabs, and so on. It was too sumptuous.
"Mom, why are you being so grand today?" Han Yuan put on his apron and walked into the living room.
"I was thinking that Gu Yan could come over, it's been a long time since I last saw her, let's have a good meal together, it's my birthday!" The old lady sighed, "I didn't expect her to be so busy …"
When Han Yuan heard his mother's words, he did not feel good about it at all.
If his mother knew that Gu Yan was purposely not attending her birthday and that she was purposely missing, she would definitely be extremely sad.
After eating a few fresh lychees, Han Yuan went back to the kitchen to prepare dinner.
Just as he was about to cut the vegetables, his phone in his bag rang.
It was from his home, Gu Yan was home.
Han Yuan went to the balcony outside and pressed the answer button.
"Where did you take Hong'er?"
Without going overboard, Gu Yan asked directly with her ice-cold yet firm voice.
"..." I brought him to my mother's house — "Han Yuan said," Why did you shut down your phone again?
"Who told you to take me there?" Gu Yan asked again, ignoring Han Yuan's question.
"I can bring my son along if I want to!" When Han Yuan heard this, he got angry. "You've turned off your phone for the entire day. What are you trying to do?"
"Han Yuan, I'll tell you. In the future, don't think about taking your son out on your own without my permission!" Gu Yan raged again.
"How preposterous!" Han Yuan could not help but scold, "I can bring my son along if I want to!"
"In your dreams!" Gu Yan threw down the three words and hung up with a "pa" sound.
F * ck, this is getting more and more outrageous! He actually wanted to restrict him from taking care of his son! Han Yuan gritted his teeth in anger as he held his phone.
After standing on the balcony for a while, he finally calmed down and returned to the kitchen to start cooking.
His mother walked in. Seeing that he was in a bad mood, she worriedly asked, "Yuan, what's wrong?"
"It's nothing. I just received a call. Now, let's start cooking."
"Did you get into a fight with Gu Yan?" his mother asked, standing behind him.
In the kitchen, his son's height and his mother's petite figure formed a stark contrast.
"No —" Han Yuan cut bamboo shoots as he said, "Mom, how about we make the old duck bamboo shoot soup?"
"Alright, just the three of us, don't put so many bamboo shoots in —" His mother said, "My son, I know Gu Yan's temperament." Alright, just the three of us, don't put so many bamboo shoots in — "His mother said," I know Gu Yan's temperament.
"Don't, Mom, I'll take care of our own business," Han Yuan said immediately.
Gu Yan had always been afraid of the old lady because her mother was good at doing ideological and political work.
Gu Yan once said, in this family, the person she feared the most was his mother and the person she respected the most was his father.
Mom was strong, and Dad was gentle.
In this situation, if mother were to go, it would only make Gu Yan more uncomfortable.
Han Yuan hoped that he could deal with it slowly. He believed that after Gu Yan calmed down, they could communicate.
Mother sighed and nodded. "Okay, just let her —"
Han Yuan felt sad in his heart. It had always been a way to give way. He didn't know how to give way anymore. He had no way out now!
After having dinner with the old lady, Han Yuan brought Hong'er home.
Just as he was about to leave, the old lady let him bring a bag of Litchi back, "This was picked by one of my company's employees at Litchi Garden, it's a very fresh, very sweet smile on the face of the concubine, bring back for Gu Yan to taste — —"
Han Yuan did not want to bring them, and he knew that if he brought them back, Gu Yan would not appreciate it.
But she couldn't refute her mother's good intentions, so she could only say, "Okay, thank you mother —"
When he got home, it was 9 o'clock.
Pushing the door open, he saw Gu Yan sitting in the living room with a straight face, waiting.
Han Hong carried Litchi and ran over. He hugged her and said, "Mom, grandma gave you Litchi. It's very sweet and delicious …"
"Hong'er will go take a bath. Can you wash yourself today? Have you finished your homework? " Gu Yan asked without even looking at Litchi.
"Finished, I want mom to help me wash —" Han Hong said coquettishly.
"Mother is tired today. Hong'er will wash up by herself." Gu Yan said with a sullen face.
Seeing that her mother was unhappy, Hong'er put down Litchi and obediently went to the bathroom to take a bath.
Han Yuan could not bear to watch any longer. He went to the bathroom to prepare some water for his son. After he had washed his son, he walked out.
After helping his son sleep, Han Yuan walked into the living room.
Gu Yan's face was still covered in dark clouds as she threw the bag of lychee under the tea table.
It was a pity for her mother's kindness.
Both of them wore a sullen expression and neither of them spoke a word.
"Yanyan, I really didn't do anything wrong, believe me —" After a long while, Han Yuan looked at Gu Yan and said.
Hearing this name, Gu Yan was momentarily moved. This was her nickname, that was what Han Yuan always called her.
Soon, however, her feelings of gratitude were washed away by a strong sense of dissatisfaction.
"How can I believe that? Han Yuan, I won't believe your words anymore! I repeat, in the future, you can forget about taking your son out on your own without my permission! " Gu Yan stared at him and said.
"I'll say it again, my son, wherever I want to take him! It's none of your business! " Han Yuan said snappily.
"Alright, then we'll see!" Gu Yan gritted her teeth and said, "I won't allow my son to be with someone who is ungrateful and unrighteous! You are not fit to be a father! "
"Gu Yan, don't go too far! Is there something wrong with you!? " Han Yuan scolded angrily, "Why are you venting your anger at your child for something between us!? Your son is already trembling with fear. Are you worthy of being a mother? How can you be so heartless? "
"I am not worthy? The one who doesn't deserve it is you! Am I sick? Yes, I am sick. I married you because I was blind, so I followed you to this damned place! It made my work difficult, my life was not good, even my cell phone was stolen! I left my family, my friends, my life, and I came here with you. What did I get? Han Yuan, you're the one who is heartless, you're not human! " Gu Yan spoke a lot in one breath, and her tears also fell.
This part of her life was really too uncomfortable for her. Everything was because she left the Southern City that she was born in and came to the Hai Province.
Han Yuan looked at the crying Gu Yan and his heart immediately softened.
He admitted that he still loved Gu Yan that much. As long as he saw her cry, he would feel heartache.
Han Yuan slowly walked over and hugged Gu Yan in his arms, saying gently, "Yanyan, I'm sorry! I know why you are unhappy. You should have told me about the problems you had at work. If you lose your phone, call me. I'll pick you up at the company … If you feel unhappy about your work, I will not work, your husband can support you and support your family. "
Who would have thought that Gu Yan would push him away forcefully, "What do you think of me? Ah? A housewife? The nanny who served you and the child at home? Han Yuan, let me tell you, I, Gu Yan am not your shadow! I don't have to live by men! "
Han Yuan looked at her with widened eyes. "That's not what I meant! I mean, if you're unhappy, you don't have to do it. Why did he have to go against himself? "We don't have to worry about food or clothes."
"To another place? It was because I had moved to another place, to Hai Zhou, that everything didn't go my way! Han Yuan, if you love me, you will consider my feelings, and you shouldn't come back here; if you love me, you won't be fooling around with other women! If you really cherish our family, you will wholeheartedly treat me and the children with all your heart. You are a selfish villain, you are a heartless and heartless man! You only have your family and your parents in your heart, and I have no family at all! " Gu Yan raged again.
Looking at the furious Gu Yan who was incoherent with her own words, Han Yuan painfully closed his eyes!
