Chapter 094: The Tide
"Your legs are not healed yet, don't move around." Xing Zheng helped Ruan Yufei to the sofa, and ignored her abnormal and intimate behavior just now. His cold attitude also made Ruan Yufei a little more awake. When she realized what she had done just now, she became upset. If Xing Zheng had been alienated from her because of this...
"Yes, I'm sorry, I'm useless." Ruan Yufei lowered her eyes, her eyelashes trembled slightly, and her lips pursed nervously, and she didn't even have the courage to look up at Xing Zheng.
"When is Yangshuo going to school?" Xing Zheng did not mention what had just happened, and Ruan Yufei also turned the matter over, "Today is five o'clock."
Xing Zheng "Yes", "I'll pick him up."
A hint of surprise flashed in Ruan Yufei's eyes, "Yangshuo will definitely be very happy to see you!"
Before five o'clock, Xing Zheng came to the International School to pick up Yangshuo from school. He took out the parent pass given by Ruan Yufei and entered the campus. He waited for Yangshuo from school downstairs to come out of school.
After a while, the first grade came to school. Yangshuo came out with his schoolbag on his back and saw Xing Zheng immediately.
Yang Shuo's eyes lit up. He ran to Xing Zheng, grabbed his arm, and shouted excitedly: "Dad!"
He could hear his excitement by listening to the sound. Xing Zheng and Yang Shuo smiled, "Happy birthday."
Yangshuo asked expectantly: "What gift did Dad buy me?"
In Yangshuo's memory, every year on his birthday, his father would give him gifts. He didn't have many toys, and his mother rarely bought them for him. He could only receive very powerful toys on his birthday.
"Last time you said you wanted a Lego car model, so I bought it for you." Xing Zheng said, "There are six sets in total, and I will work hard."
"Dad is so good!" Yang Shuo's voice was so excited that he raised his voice. Xing Zheng was infected by Yang Shuo's smile and laughed with him.
The two looked similar and attracted the attention of many classmates. Someone rushed up to Yangshuo and said, "Yangshuo, your father is so handsome!"
Xing Zheng came to school to pick up Yangshuo for the first time, but Yangshuo has always talked about Xing Zheng with his classmates at school. All the classmates who have had a good time with Yangshuo know that he has a very powerful father.
After Yangshuo was praised by his classmates, he became very proud and said with his chest straight: "My father is not only handsome, but also very powerful!"
Xing Zheng and Yangshuo walked out of the campus. Not far away, an employee of Nanjiang Bank saw this scene, his mouth opened into an oval shape and his chin was about to fall off.
Xing Zheng...has a child?
Xing Zheng took Yangshuo and returned home. When the father and son entered the door, Xu Shang and Xie Junyao had arrived. Xie Qinjia also came with them. Xie Qinjia was also in the same manner as before. However, considering that today is Yangshuo's birthday, he did not treat him as sharply as usual.
"Great grandpa, grandma, welcome you here." Yangshuo was educated very politely by Ruan Yufei. After seeing his elders, he went to say hello one by one, "Grandma, you are here too."
Xie Qinjia likes Yangshuo very much. She grabbed Yangshuo's hand, stuffed him a thick red envelope, and said gently: "Happy Yangshuo's seventh birthday, and take this money to buy your favorite toys."
Ruan Yufei was very embarrassed when she saw the red envelope. She bit her lip, "My sister-in-law, you don't need..."
"Why don't you need it? This is what you should do," Xie Qinjia also felt very pity for Ruan Yufei, "It's not easy for you to take Yangshuo alone. It doesn't cost much, just take it."
After Xie Qinjia gave the red envelope, Xu Shang and Xie Junyao also gave the red envelope. Ruan Yufei had to accept the elder's wishes.
Yangshuo was very excited when he had been at home for a long time. He talked to his elders during dinner, and from time to time, two golden sentences appeared, making the people on the table laugh.
Xie Qinjia likes Yangshuo especially. When he treats him like a grandson, Xing Zheng saw Xie Qinjia constantly picking up food in Yangshuo's plate, staring at his movements without turning his eyes, his eyes were deep, and memories surged like a tide.
Many years ago, this was the same scene. That year, he and Xing Yan had just returned to their home in Nanjiang City.
After many years, the family of four finally had the opportunity to sit on the same table and eat again. He went to the table with full of expectations, but Xie Qinjia never gave him a redundant look throughout the whole process.
She put the stir-fried green beans and ribs in front of Xing Yan and asked him to eat more so that he could grow taller.
She never remembered that these two dishes were his favorites. He could only sit quietly aside for that meal, watching her pick up dishes for Xing Yan again and again, and listening to her concern about Xing Yan's study status and exam results.
The scene in my memory overlapped with the picture in front of me. Xing Zheng's throat felt sour. He drank all the ice water in the cup, but still failed to suppress the feeling.
He felt something in his chest that would have been soaring with adrenaline. He took out his cell phone from his pocket, found the familiar avatar on the WeChat list, and sent a message.
【At 30, the hospital garage is waiting for me.】
After dinner, Lin Mei found that the small group in the store was very lively. This group was built by a colleague in the office area. Everyone didn’t talk much about work, and they ordered takeout and shared gossip.
I don’t know if there was some explosive news tonight, but I actually browsed hundreds of them. Lin Mei happened to have nothing to do, so she flipped out the chat history.
Then, Lin Mei saw the photos of Xing Zheng and Yangshuo. Through the chat records, Lin Mei learned that a colleague in the store went to school to pick up the child for his relatives. He happened to meet Xing Zheng, so he came to the group to gossip.
She took a photo and said that the child looked very similar to Xing Zheng. Everyone thought that the child was Xing Zheng's illegitimate child. The topic revolved around the two things that the child's mother and Xing Zheng were happy to be a father at the age of nineteen. There were still many unverified and heard about gossip in between.
Lin Mei finished reading it, and she felt no trouble in her heart, but there were a few little sisters in the group who had just come in to work, and she seemed very disappointed.
Only then did Lin Mei realize that many people in the industry regarded Xing Zheng as the perfect dream lover, and she wanted to laugh.
Lin Mei was about to quit, but suddenly @ her in the group: [@Lin Mei, Manager Lin, you often go to Shuangmu. Have you heard of gossip about children's mothers?]
Lin Mei replied "No" and stopped looking at the group. As a result, she saw the message Xing Zheng sent fifteen minutes ago, asking her to go to the basement to wait for him.
When he waits for what he does, he can think of it with his toes.
Lin Mei frowned. He wasn't he celebrating his son's birthday, why did he come to find her again?
At half past nine, Lin Zhengde and Xiao Yue were already asleep. Lin Mei sat on the sofa outside with water. As soon as she took a sip, her phone started to buzz. She looked down and saw that it was Xing Zheng's phone call.
Lin Mei picked it up, and the hoarse and deep voice of the man came from his ears. In the quiet night, like a ghost, "Down."
Lin Mei tiptoed out of the ward. She did not go down directly, but went to the convenience store on the first floor of the inpatient department to buy two boxes of sets, and held it in her palm and walked towards the basement.
