40 Chapter Forty
byThe next day, Cheng Ji'an was discharged from the hospital after completing the relevant procedures. This article is by. starter
Lao Zhou walked quickly to the parking lot with his suitcase in hand, but the rest of the group followed behind with different moods.
It was June, and the sun was shining brightly. Cheng Ji'an was wearing a long skirt, silk scarf, and hat, but it was completely covered up. She was a little helpless, but Ji Chongjun insisted, so he had to give up - when he was leaving, Ji Chongjun was afraid that she would blow the wind, so he just reorganized her again.
However, her heart was also a little gloomy. Just now, her father said that her cousin was also there, so she couldn't help but retreat. Although she told her about her cousin and apologized to her that day, there were always some stalks that were not so easy to completely resolve.
Ji Chongjun was still in a white shirt and black trousers. He was straight and straight, like a poplar. At this time, he was walking by Cheng Ji'an's side, holding her hand and walking forward, looking straight ahead, but from time to time he glanced sideways at the people around him, his eyes were calm and gentle.
When Cheng Ji'an saw it, he could only smile back and try to suppress those pasts.
Cheng's father and Cheng's mother walked by, half a step behind.
Cheng's mother looked a little complicated when they looked at them holding hands. Last night, her wife told her something. She didn't know whether to be sad or happy, so she could only keep silent; Cheng's father was a little hesitant. When was happy that could be discharged from the hospital, said that aunt and the others were just in time to have a meal together, but they forgot that Ji Chongjun was there.
He didn't know whether Ji Chongjun would be willing to attend such a family gathering, or whether he would have free time to have a meal at his house. He had a special status and might not have time to deal with these things. He didn't refuse just now, and he didn't know if he was embarrassed to refuse. He was remorseful for his recklessness and wanted to make amends, but he didn't know what to say.
In fact, his sister and niece didn't even know that Ji Chongjun was there. He didn't tell them, because he wasn't sure Ji Chongjun would send them back. As a result, before he could say anything just now, the master Zhou took An An's suitcase directly, as if he had already prepared it...
But no matter what, he should solemnly invite him to stay for a meal, instead of just making a random mention of it, after all, he came all the way and took care of his daughter for another day.
The parking lot will arrive soon, and Lao Zhou has already put away his luggage and opened the door.
"Uncle and aunt, you and An An can sit in the back together." Ji Chongjun walked over and suggested. He wanted her to sit in front alone, but he was afraid that they would be embarrassed and that she would not be taken care of.
"Hey, good." Father Cheng responded hurriedly, and then pulled Mother Cheng to sit in together.
"If you are sitting, tell me if you are uncomfortable." When they were seated, Ji Chongjun turned to look at Cheng Ji'an again.
Cheng Ji'an nodded, "Okay."
Ji Chongjun helped her sit in, fastened her seat belt, and confirmed that they were all comfortable, then closed the door and sat in the co-pilot.
After they were all seated, Lao Zhou started the car, but it was always smooth and quiet.
Cheng's mother has been paying attention to Ji Chongjun's care for Cheng Ji'an, and some uneasiness has gradually eased. She can see feelings in the details. She can see that Ji Chongjun really loves her daughter, so she doesn't have to worry anymore.
Cheng's father was a little cautious. Although this car has been ridden twice, there is now one more Ji Chongjun. Just after a while, there was a sigh in my heart. Now that the four of them are here, it really looks like a family.
Everyone said that he had a good old life, found a good son-in-law, and sent people to send money and gifts every month, but he was always a little sad, because his son-in-law could not see anyone, not only his son-in-law, but also after his daughter married. Have not come back often.
It's like now, when a family sits, even if they don't speak, it makes people feel a reunion.
He thought, a hint of warmth appeared in his heart, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth unconsciously.
There were only occasional brief exchanges along the way, and when they arrived at Cheng's house, it was thirty minutes later.
The Cheng family originally lived in the old district of Chengbei. Later, the Ji family bought a house for them in the new district of Chengdong, and they moved there. It is a small villa, elegant, quiet, but not deserted. Two streets away is the commercial area, and there are many leisure activities nearby, and there are also many entertainment facilities in the community.
Originally, Ji Chongjun wanted to place them in Huadu, but they had no choice but to give up when they didn't want to.
Entering the gate of the villa area, go all the way to the west side, where they live. There are flowers and plants all around, blooming just right, and it looks like they have been taken care of.
Lao Zhou parked the car on the side and opened the door for Cheng's father again. Ji Chongjun had also come down and opened the door for Cheng Ji'an.
Cheng's father got out of the car and said to Ji Chongjun, "Chongjun, stay and have a light meal." But he finally opened his mouth and made an invitation.
"Okay." Ji Chongjun helped Cheng Ji'an down and smiled again.
"Master Zhou, too." Father Cheng was happy when he heard his promise, and said to Lao Zhou again.
"Okay." Lao Zhou naturally did not refuse, but he went to the trunk to get something. Cheng's father kept up with him when he saw that he was busy.
Ji Chongjun's cell phone rang at this moment. After seeing the name of the caller, he said to Cheng Ji'an and Cheng's mother: "You go in first, I'll take a call first." But the company called.
"Okay." Cheng Ji'an knew that he should have something important, so he just nodded with a smile.
Ji Chongjun shook her hand, and then went to the side to pick up the phone.
She followed her mother into the villa. As soon as she entered the door, Cheng Ji'an saw her cousin Pu Wenxin standing in front of the closet packing something, and her aunt Cheng Jiayan was standing bent over in the center of the living room, playing with a five- or six-year-old mixed-race boy playing with a remote control little boy. car.
Cheng Ji'an was not surprised that they were already there.
"Yeah, An An is back!" Cheng Jiayan was a little overjoyed when she looked up and saw them.
"Aunt." Cheng Ji'an walked over and shouted, a little unfamiliar. She hadn't seen her in a while, and she fell asleep when she came to visit yesterday.
"Long time no see, An An has lost weight." Cheng Jiayan took her hand and said, and called her grandson, "alan, come and call me auntie."
"Auntie." Alan was not afraid of life, but called out simply, but his Mandarin was not too standard.
"Well, hello." Cheng Ji'an replied with a smile.
"It's good-looking, I've never seen such a good-looking child. A mixed-race child is so beautiful." Cheng Jiayan stroked her grandson's head and kept praising her.
"...Well, it looks good." Cheng Ji'an was speechless. Little Alan is really good-looking, with short golden curly hair, white skin, and blue eyes, just like an angel, but the way her aunt said it is still a bit overwhelming.
Looking at Mother Cheng, she has turned her head, and the impatience in her eyes is clearly visible.
She has become accustomed to this aunt's bragging and oppression. She used to be angry, but now she has chosen to ignore it.
Cheng Jiayan finished admiring her grandson. Thinking that her niece was still standing, she hurriedly took her hand and said, "Come on An'an, come to sit on the sofa, don't be tired, you just came back from the hospital."
"An An, do you want to go to the room to lie down for a while?" Cheng's mother also asked.
Cheng Ji'an had already been pulled to sit down, so he had to look up and said, "I'll sit down for a while." As soon as he came back, he was lying on the bed, and he was inevitably bored.
When Mother Cheng listened, she could only give up.
At this time, Father Cheng and Lao Zhou walked in from the door, but their hands were full of things. It's just that he obviously hasn't finished it yet. After Lao Zhou put the things on the coffee table, he turned around and walked out. Father Cheng also followed.
"Oh, An An, you came back as soon as you came back, why did you still buy so many things!" Cheng Jiayan swept the pile of precious gift boxes on the table, and was extremely surprised, and then complained, "It's not better now, it's all Family, don't talk about these pomps! Meiyun, don't you think?" After speaking, she looked at Cheng's mother beside her.
The implication is that everyone knows about An An's divorce, so there is no need to do these superficial efforts.
"Yes!" Mother Cheng endured and endured, but she still lost a sentence, but she turned around and said, "I'm going to prepare lunch first."
Although she is not very clear, she also knows that Ji Chongjun should have bought these things.
"An An, you are really, why waste this money, let me tell you, these things are not useful..." Cheng Jiayan saw that she was gone, and turned around and said to Cheng Ji'an.
Cheng Ji'an knew she had misunderstood, but she didn't know how to explain it, so she could only speak. She was also a little surprised, not knowing when Ji Chongjun arranged all this.
"Mom, go look at Alan." On the side, Pu Wenxin interrupted Cheng Jiayan.
Cheng Jiayan saw it, and sure enough, Alan had already chased the remote-controlled car into the kitchen without noticing, so he hurriedly chased after him.
Cheng Ji'an watched her leave, and the whole person relaxed. Her aunt was not bad to her, but she just didn't know how to deal with it.
"Don't listen to my mother, she just doesn't look good." On the side, Pu Wenxin spoke again.
Cheng Ji'an was a little surprised. He turned his head and looked at her for a while before answering, "Yeah." His voice was dull and his eyes flickered.
She knew that her cousin was helping her, but she always felt a little embarrassed.
Pu Wenxin also noticed it, and his face was a little unnatural. As if searching for a topic, he said after a long while, "Some relatives came here yesterday, and it was a little messy. My aunt and uncle didn't have time to sort it out, so I'll tidy up when I have time." Then he put another ornament on the on the shelf.
A few children came yesterday, almost turned the sky over.
"Well." Cheng Ji'an nodded, but didn't speak any more. Yesterday, it was normal for some relatives to stop by to have a look at Grandpa's anniversary.
Father Cheng and Lao Zhou came back again, this time holding more things. Father Cheng looked helpless, not thinking that Ji Chongjun bought so many things. Although people would send some things over during Chinese New Year and festivals before, they were always different.
There was no way to refuse, so had to put it away first.
Pu Wenxin put all the messed up things in their place, and gathered all the clutter. She didn't like to do housework very much at first, but now she can't be idle. But when opened the drawer and wanted to put away the remote control, was stunned when saw something inside.
The drawers were littered with clippings from newspapers and magazines, as well as a few photos.
Picking it up, he frowned. The photo was of a man with handsome features, wearing a suit, and he seemed to be in a hotel.
It's just that this man... seems a little familiar.
Pu Wenxin thought about it, and always felt that he had seen it somewhere.
At this time, Father Cheng came over again to get something. Seeing this, Pu Wenxin asked, "Uncle, who is in this photo?"
"What photo?" Cheng's father just raised his head, but someone was already close to him and hurriedly replied, "Oh, this is Ji Chongjun, An An's ex-husband." But Cheng Jiayan came back with the child.
Cheng Ji'an was a little surprised. He stood up and took the photo in her hand and looked at it. Sure enough, it was all Ji Chongjun. She looked at her father, wondering what was going on.
Father Cheng lowered his head, a little embarrassed, but he just took the photo and said vaguely, "Your aunt took a few pictures when they got married, and I'll let them wash them out." Then he walked over and collected the photos and the newspaper clippings in the drawer. closed.
He has an enviable son-in-law, but he knows very little about him, even his appearance is rare. Later, seeing that his wife's photo was left on his mobile phone, he specially asked someone to print it out. As for those newspaper clippings, they were all about the Ji family.
If you can't get in touch, it's better to know more about them. What's more, you may see their news one day.
Originally, he kept it well, but who knew that it was turned over by several children yesterday. At that time, he was busy entertaining and couldn't take care of it, so he just put it away in the drawer in a general way. , I didn't expect it to be turned out again now.
Father Cheng was not good at words and did not explain much, so he took the things and left again. Cheng Ji'an looked at his back, but somehow guessed what he was thinking, and couldn't help but feel a little bit.
Alan was noisy, and Cheng Jiayan took him away again. Seeing that it was all right here, Cheng Ji'an thought about going to the kitchen to see if he could be of any help. Just turned around, but saw Pu Wenxin standing there, motionless, only looking at her with complicated eyes.
"Cousin?" Cheng Ji'an stopped, a little puzzled.
Pu Wenxin's eyes moved, and his expression was a little panicked.
"What's wrong?" Cheng Ji'an asked again.
Pu Wenxin moved her lower lip and finally opened her mouth, "An An, if I remember correctly, the person who sent you back to the hotel that night eight years ago was Ji Chongjun..." The voice was extremely difficult.
"..." Cheng Ji'an listened, and his heart stopped beating.
Pu Wenxin's eyes were only affirmative.
After Cheng Ji'an told her yesterday morning, she kept reminiscing about that day. She tried to recall who sent her back that day, but there was only a vague impression in her memory. But just now, when she recognized the person in the photo, those memories became clear.
That day, they were drinking, and she was already drunk and lay there. Then a few more people came. She didn't know them, they were friends of friends, but she was very impressed by one person. The man was wearing a white shirt, very handsome, but he didn't know how to play and didn't pay much attention to people. He just sat there alone and drank quietly.
Later, when they were drunk enough, they wanted to change places to play, but someone was drunk, and someone had to send them to find a place to live first. She didn't worry about her sister, so she wanted to accompany her back first, but the people around her said, "Don't worry, I'll find someone to take her to the hotel."
At that time, this handsome guy was not interested in their next activities and was going back to the hotel first. When his friend found out, he asked him to drop by and send it. She remembered that he was stunned for a moment, but agreed, and finally she watched him help her into the hotel next door. She was going to keep up, but was pulled away by her friends, and at that time, she was also a little too drunk...
"An An, I can be sure that that person is him." Finally, Pu Wenxin said with certainty.
Cheng Ji'an listened, and his heart sank completely.
At this time, someone walked in outside the door, but Ji Chongjun came in after answering the phone.
Cheng Jiayan, who was playing with his grandson at the door, saw him first, but was surprised. Ji Chongjun nodded in agreement, and then walked directly to the sofa.
Cheng Ji'an stood there and he saw it.
Just took a closer look, but was a little stunned.
Cheng Ji'an looked at him, his face a little ugly.
"What's wrong? What's wrong?" He hurriedly walked over to hold her and asked again.
Cheng Ji'an shook his head, but his body was about to tremble.
Ji Chongjun frowned, feeling a little strange, and when he looked back, he saw only a woman standing there, looking at him in surprise.
I don't know what happened, but I always feel that her situation is not good, so I hurriedly said: "I will help you go back to your room to rest first."
Cheng Ji'an didn't refuse, but pushed his hand away and walked upstairs alone, staggering. Ji Chongjun hurriedly followed and tried to help him several times, but was opened by her.
Her room was on the east side of the second floor, the door was unlocked, and when it was opened, it was already cleaned by Cheng's father and mother. Ji Chongjun walked in, but his heart became more and more uneasy.
Cheng Ji'an had already walked to the bed alone, but just stood with his back to him, without sitting down or looking back.
"An An?" Ji Chongjun stopped at the door and couldn't help shouting.
Cheng Ji'an's body trembled, but was quickly restrained. She turned around, her hands clenched tightly, but her eyes were red.
"An An?" Ji Chongjun looked at her, and his heart couldn't stop twitching.
Cheng Ji'an was silent for a while, and finally spoke.
"Ji Chongjun, was it you that night eight years ago?"
Ji Chongjun listened, but stopped.
Cheng Ji'an looked at him with disbelief, "So you know?"
Ji Chongjun's eyes flickered, but he did not deny it in the end.
When Cheng Ji'an saw it, tears finally rolled down.
"Then why didn't you tell me!" she said, her whole body almost collapsed.
The author has something to say: until now, it should be in time for you to wake up...
