Single Mom in the Eighties - Chapter 101
Yan Ruxu didn’t want to recall those too long and not good past, and didn’t want to let Kang Congxin feel sad too, so she immediately changed the subject and said: “I’m a bit of a dead end, as you said, we just ignore them .”
Kang Congxin smiled: “You, you are always like this, before I come to comfort you, you can solve it yourself.”
Yan Ruxu was amused by him and asked: “Then how are you going to comfort me?”
Kang Congxin: “The words I was going to comfort you were all said by you yourself, so I can only…”
…
Yuan Ming in the outer room couldn’t help but look up at the closed door.
There were intermittent women’s startled laughter and men’s deep laughter.
“Hahaha, please, please forgive me…”
“Has the comfort arrived?”
“It’s here, it’s here, I can’t do it anymore, let me go!”
…
If he hadn’t been with Vice President Kang for a while, he really couldn’t believe that this delicate and soft voice came from the dignified, elegant and generous editor-in-chief Yan, let alone such a frivolous and joking voice. The chilling laughter came from the serious and cold Vice President Kang.
When he was not transferred to be Kang Congxin’s secretary, he heard all kinds of rumors about the couple. When he actually saw the couple get along, he knew that those rumors were just rumors. The affection and tacit understanding between the husband and wife are by no means comparable to ordinary people. Vice President Kang’s affectionate side is only shown to Yan Ruxu, and Yan Ruxu’s tender and affectionate side is only shown to Kang Congxin.
He was very envious of the relationship between the two, and thought that if he was like Kang Congxin, he would be able to find such a woman he wanted to be his wife.
The phone rang suddenly, and Yuan Ming hurriedly picked it up, fearing to disturb the two people in the office.
Not long after, he lightly clasped the phone, walked over bravely, and knocked on the closed door.
The door fell silent immediately, and a dozen seconds later, Kang Cong’s new voice said, “Come in.”
Yuan Ming took a deep breath, opened the door carefully, and exposed half of his body, without daring to look, he said, “Vice President Kang, it’s your father-in-law’s call, do you want to transfer it?”
According to the past practice, Yan Liangshen’s calls to Yuan Ming would be transferred directly without asking, but because of the secretary’s strong intuition, he thought it would be better to ask the leader’s opinion first.
Sure enough, his judgment was correct. Kang turned his head to look at Yan Ruxu, who was sitting directly opposite her, uncomfortably cutting his hair, and asked her opinion with his eyes.
Yan Ruxu thought for a while and said, “Go ahead.”
Both of them could probably guess the purpose of Yan Liangshen’s phone call at this time. Yan Ruxu was just angry for a while and fell into a dead end, and it didn’t mean that he would never have any contact with Yan Liangshen for the rest of his life. Besides, although Kang Congxin said he was leaning towards Yan Ruxu, but his identity was a son-in-law, no matter what he really thought in his heart, be it emotional or reasonable, public or private, he still wanted to be the lubricant between father and daughter.
Therefore, Kang Congxin still has to answer this call.
He nodded towards Yuan Ming, Yuan Ming exited quickly, closed the door, and quickly transferred the call to Kang Congxin’s office.
Kang Congxin picked up the phone, and Yan Liangshen couldn’t wait to call out: “Xiaokang.” Then he was silent for a few seconds, and said with some difficulty: “Just now, Yanyan was probably angry with me.”
“I just want her to talk to her mother on the phone and explain everything clearly on the phone. If she doesn’t want to go to the United States, she won’t go. After all, it’s mother and daughter. Is it possible that they will have nothing to do with each other forever? I didn’t expect that Yan But she got angry and hung up on me.”
Yan Liangshen’s tone didn’t sound like a high-ranking leader, but just a good father who was full of complaints and didn’t know where the complaints lie.
The voice from the microphone leaked out, and Yan Ruxu heard Yan Liangshen’s words clearly, and sneered again and again.
Kang Congxin thought about his words, and said, “I think Yanyan probably doesn’t want you to meddle in their mother-daughter affairs.”
Yan Liangshen was very surprised: “Although her mother and I have divorced, she is her father after all…”
Kang Congxin interrupted Yan Liangshen’s words, and said, “Drinking ice water in cold weather, you know how warm you are. It’s true that you are her father, but I heard that you haven’t lived with her since she was very young. “
Yan Liangshen on the other end of the phone made a few unintelligible voices.
Kang Congxin said immediately: “Actually, you don’t understand the grievances between their mother and daughter. I understand your desire to promote reconciliation between their mother and daughter, but wishful thinking may not be good intentions. Yan Yan has an independent personality, She is independent in thinking and has her own judgment. Facts have proved that she can live her life and career well and do well without the help and guidance of others.”
Kang Congxin’s two words can be said to be quite heart-wrenching, but Yan Ruxu smiled. Kang Congxin said her heart, which made her feel very relieved!
The implication of Kang Congxin’s words was obvious, and Yan Liangshen naturally understood it. He didn’t speak for a long time, but his rapid breathing showed that he was not at peace.
Kang Congxin didn’t speak, Yan Liangshen didn’t hang up the phone, neither did he.
After a while, Yan Liangshen said slowly: “Do you know what Yanyan’s mother did to make Yanyan not want to reconcile with her?”
Kang Congxin didn’t know exactly what Xu Huanbai had done, but he did know that children have a natural blood attachment to their parents, and breaking this attachment is definitely not a matter of one or two things, it must be accumulated over time came.
Kang Congxin: “You know, when Yan Yan’s mother left, she left some money for her, and at the same time agreed with her on the condition that the mother and daughter will sever ties from now on, and never communicate with each other, right?”
Yan Liangshen: “… I’ve heard of it.” He heard Xu Huanqing say it. Both he and Xu Huanqing thought it was Xu Huanbai’s angry words. How could any woman be willing to really give up her child?
Xu Huanbai is like this, he often says vicious things. But Yan Liangshen thought back and analyzed it later, and felt that Xu Huanbai was a posturing paper tiger. Those hurtful words were duplicity. She was spoiled and grew up with her own arrogance and stubbornness. These hurtful words were just her arms. But they don’t know that those words are like knives, stabbing others while stabbing themselves. Therefore, Xu Huanbai is also a victim.
Yan Liangshen: “Xiaokang, you are also parents. You should know the love parents have for their children. How can parents really give up on their children and sever ties if they say they want to sever the relationship? Yan Yan’s mother must have had difficulties at the time. As a child, you should understand.”
Kang re-covered the microphone, Yan Ruruo didn’t hear this sentence clearly, if she heard it, he would probably be furious again. Kang Congxin suddenly understood why Yan Ruxu was so angry.
After deliberating for a while, he said, “It was not Yan Yan who proposed to sever the relationship, but Yan Yan decided to abide by this agreement.” Kang Congxin paused and said, “I want to advise you, don’t try to persuade or change Yanyan, she has the right idea, she will never turn back if she decides on something, and the person who tries to change her, maybe she will stop contacting from now on.”
Of course Yan Liangshen knew.
In fact, after Yan Ruxu hung up the phone, he called Yan Ruxu’s office twice, but no one answered. He thought that Yan Ruxu did not want to talk to him on purpose. He felt uneasy for a long time before he thought of calling Kang Congxin and asking him to mediate. For so many years, he has been making all kinds of efforts to improve the relationship with Yan Ruxu, but it is useless. Yan Ruxu is like a stone that cannot be warmed, and has always been indifferent. It was only after Kang Cong reappeared that their relationship gradually improved.
When he was in love with Xu Huanbai, and at the beginning of his marriage, he was very happy. Yan Ruxu was the crystallization of their love, and he loved him very much. Later, the conflict between him and Xu Huanbai became more and more serious, and later on, he became more and more impatient to see Xu Huanbai, because when he saw him, he complained and quarreled.
Thinking about it now, at that time, if he had given Xu Huanbai more patience, cared for her more, and said something nice, the two of them would not have reached the point of divorce. He believed that, based on Xu Huanbai’s feelings for him, if the two of them hadn’t separated and divorced, Xu Huanbai would be willing to share weal and woe with him even if he was sent down later.
Later, out of responsibility and morality, he married Wang Zhaodi, but every time he unconsciously compared Wang Zhaodi with Xu Huanbai, he felt it was a kind of blasphemy against Xu Huanbai. When he was in the country, he would often think of the past between him and Xu Huanbai, and what he recalled back then was only sweetness.
Just as Yan Ruxu analyzed, the Xu Huanbai in his memory was heavily beautified and whitewashed by Yan Liangshen, and he was an idealized person. What this person did before was forced and justifiable.
Therefore, he wanted to facilitate the reconciliation between mother and daughter. He thought it would be a happy reunion, but he didn’t expect that Yan Ruxu didn’t even give any face.
He still overestimated his position in Yan Ruxu’s heart. He thought that Kang Congxin’s last words were not alarmist.
Although they are father and daughter between him and Yan Ruxu, he has always been trying to please Yan Ruxu and want to repair the relationship with her, but Yan Ruxu is dispensable to her.
He was really dazzled by the good times during this time, and he couldn’t recognize his position.
Yan Liang thought deeply, but still couldn’t figure out why Yan Ruxu refused to contact Xu Huanbai, it was just a phone call, is it so difficult? It’s not about letting her go to the United States, but just listening to what Xu Huanbai wants to say and giving her a chance, how did it happen like this?
He sighed and said, “Xiaokang, please tell Yanyan, she will only listen to you. Just say it’s my fault, and I won’t get involved in it anymore.” He said so, how much With a bit of anger, he said: “I was kind… Forget it, it’s useless to say these things, children are debts!”
Kang hung up the phone again and looked at Yan Ruxu.
One corner of Yan Ruxu’s mouth turned up, revealing a sarcastic smile. Obviously, this was aimed at Yan Liangshen’s last sentence “children are debts”.
“I don’t know what he gave me on credit.” Yan Ruxu said.
Kang Congxin sat next to her again, put his arms around her, and said, “He promised not to meddle in your affairs in the future, so let this matter pass?”
Yan Ruxu nodded and said, “Okay, but I don’t want to see him anymore.”
Kang Congxin: “Okay.”
Yan Ruxu said, “I think I’ve become hypocritical.”
Kang Congxin smiled: “Aren’t you always like this?”
Yan Ruxu sat up from his arms, looked at him, “You say I’m hypocritical?”
Kang Congxin hugged her into his arms again, and said unhurriedly: “Yes, you are hypocritical and self-willed, and you don’t care about the consequences. But if you are not such a character, how can we have Kangkang, how can we have Kangkang? I am living such a happy life now? I am grateful and love your hypocrisy and self-willedness very deeply.”
Yan Ruxu’s hardened fists softened, and she thumped his chest lightly, “You’re kidding me!”
Kang Congxin smiled sullenly, held her fist and played with it, and said, “Eat the small cafeteria at noon?”
Yan Ruxu nodded: “I still want to eat magnolia slices.”
Naturally, Kang Congxin didn’t respond: “Okay.”
In the evening, when Sister Huang came home to deliver the fried small yellow croaker, she was more careful than usual and spoke more politely. Seeing that Yan Ruxu treated her as usual and accepted the small yellow croaker, she was relieved.
After Sister Huang left, Kang Congxin said, “The old man is still afraid that you will be angry with him.”
Yan Ruxu nodded, shook his head again, and whispered, “It’s really annoying!”
Kang Cong knew again that Yan Ruxu’s annoying voice didn’t mean that Yan Liangshen was annoying, but that Yan Liangshen’s cautious attitude, this kind of kindness to her annoyed him. Originally, she decided to ignore him for a while, but she chose to do these things to soften her heart and make her waver. This soft, wavering feeling bothered her.
Although her heart softened, Yan Liangshen asked the husband and wife to go back for dinner on the weekend, but she still refused on the pretext of having something to do.
Kang Congxin did have something to do. He made an appointment with Chen Liang to have a drink together.
Since their reunion, Chen Liang’s family and Yan Ruxu’s family have become close family friends and have frequent exchanges. It was winter vacation, Chen Liang’s children went to grandma’s house for the summer vacation, and his wife went on a business trip, so Chen Liang was left alone at home. He called Kang Congxin to come over and said that the two of them had a drink and chatted.
Yan Ruxu quite supported Kang Congxin’s relationship with Chen Liang.
Kang Congxin broke up with his former friends and spent all his spare time with his wife and mother. Yan Ruxu was naturally very happy, but he also hoped that Kang Congxin would have close friends who could talk about work and the country Big things, talk about things that are inconvenient to say with your lover.
Chen Liang’s appearance is just right, he knows the root and the bottom, and it is a life-and-death friendship that has carried guns together. Apart from drinking a few sips, he has no bad habits. He is a good friend worth wanting to make.
Naturally, Yan Ruxu would not participate in the gathering of two men. Although she had nothing to do, she didn’t want to go back by herself. These days, Yan Liangshen sent Sister Huang to deliver various things every day. The meaning of flattery was too obvious. Xu Xu didn’t know how to face Yan Liangshen.
After having lunch with Yan Ruxu, Kang Congxin walked out of the house.
Kang Congxin: “I’ll stay with him for a while, and I’ll be back soon.”
Yan Ruxu: “No, I’m watching TV at home, and you two haven’t seen each other for ten days, so have a good chat and don’t be in a hurry to go home.”
Yan Ruxu said this, but she knew that Kang Congxin would not come back too late. Like her, he loved his family very much.
Sure enough, after 3 o’clock in the afternoon, Kang Congxin came back. He smelled of alcohol, but it was not heavy. Knowing that Yan Ruxu didn’t like the smell of alcohol, she hurried to wash her face and brush her teeth.
