Chapter 092: Those Tangled Pasts
Three days ago, Yun Mengxue and Luo Haochen went out together, but three days later, Yun Mengxue came back alone.
Seeing Yun Mengxue getting out of the car without seeing his son Luo Haochen, Luo Jingtian felt angry in his heart, but because of Yun Mengxue's face, he couldn't get angry easily, so he just shook his head, sighed, turned around and walked away.
"Sedum..."
Xu Yeli whispered Luo Jingtian's name behind his back. Luo Jingtian didn't look back. Xu Yeli looked a little confused.
"Do you want me to talk about this kind of thing again?"
Luo Jingtian's figure disappeared into the hall, and Xu Yeli turned around with a sad face. When she saw Yun Mengxue walking towards this side, a gentle and friendly smile appeared on her face again.
"Mengxue, did you have fun at the wine party?"
Yun Mengxue had actually seen Luo Jingtian who was deliberately avoiding him, but she still pretended not to see it and smiled just like Xu Yeli did.
"Well, it's my first time to attend this kind of cocktail party, and it lasts for three days. I'm really impressed and I had a lot of fun."
Yun Mengxue will never forget these three days.
"Where is Haochen? Why didn't he come back with you?"
Yun Mengxue was slightly stunned. Didn't even her family know about Luo Haochen's visit to the southern subsidiary?
"He... had something to do last night. He said he went to the southern branch. I don't know... um... I don't know when he will come back."
Yun Mengxue said awkwardly. She was afraid that Xu Yeli would ask her why she didn't know about such a thing. If she told the Luo family that Luo Haochen left her alone and left, would Luo Jingtian be in trouble with his son again?
?
"Well, Haochen is already such a big man, so you don't have to worry about him."
Xu Yeli deliberately changed the topic to distract Yun Mengxue from her entanglement. She knew clearly that Yun Mengxue was not thinking about that kind of thing, just to prevent her from feeling more embarrassed.
Yun Mengxue nodded slightly.
"I understand, auntie, he has his own things to be busy with, so I won't think too much about it."
Yun Mengxue looked into Xu Yeli's gentle eyes, and there were some words on her lips. She really wanted to say them directly, but she was afraid that Xu Yeli would feel as embarrassed as before.
Should we say it? Or should we not say it?
Feeling tangled and hesitant in her heart, Yun Mengxue turned sideways and looked at Luo Haoning's residence.
Luo Haochen is not at home now. Since everyone in the southern subsidiary he went to yesterday will not come back so soon in a day or two, and Luo Jingtian deliberately avoided it, this seems to be a good opportunity to reveal some of his innermost secrets.
Thinking of this, Yun Mengxue finally made up her mind.
"Auntie, I... want to chat with you, is that okay? Let's go over there."
Xu Yeli was startled. She was actually quite afraid of being alone with Yun Mengxue, because Yun Mengxue always wanted to get to the bottom of her. Xu Yeli really didn't know whether to tell her the things about Chu Mengyao.
"Let's go, Auntie."
Without giving Xu Yeli too much time to hesitate, Yun Mengxue gently held her arm with both hands and walked directly towards Luo Haoning's residence.
"Mengxue, what are you..."
Xu Yeli looked at Yun Mengxue in surprise. What kind of plan was she making in her heart?
Yun Mengxue took Xu Yeli directly to Luo Haoning's studio. Faced with Xu Yeli's confusion and Luo Haoning's searching eyes, Yun Mengxue turned back and closed the studio door.
"Mengxue, what's wrong with you? And, Mom..."
Luo Haoning didn't know Yun Mengxue was back at all. As a result, as soon as she appeared, she took Xu Yeli to the studio. This move made Luo Haoning fascinated, but he also knew that what was going to happen next might make Xu Yeli accept it.
No.
Yun Mengxue walked up to Luo Haoning and Xu Yeli, with an apologetic look on her face.
"Brother Haoning, Auntie, I'm really sorry for my reckless behavior. But... I want you to know that my heart is with you, and..."
Yun Mengxue gently took Xu Yeli's hand and stared at her with a pair of sincere eyes.
"Auntie, I already know about Luo Haochen and Chu Mengyao. Of course, it seems a bit too general and irresponsible for me to say this. After all, Chu Mengyao was once the girlfriend of Brother Haoning, and she and Luo Haochen were just childhood sweethearts.
It’s just the woman he has a crush on.”
Xu Yeli was so surprised by these blunt words that she didn't know what to do. She looked at Yun Mengxue with wide eyes.
"You... know, then... you..."
After hearing what Yun Mengxue said, Luo Haoning looked a little lonely.
"Yes, she already knew it, because... I was the one who told Mengxue that day, and it was me who told Mengyao about Mengyao, and..."
"Brother Haoning."
Yun Mengxue interrupted Luo Haoning. She didn't want Luo Haoning to put the responsibility on herself.
"Auntie, I accidentally discovered that Chu Mengyao is Brother Haoning's girlfriend. It has nothing to do with Brother Haoning. Now that I have discovered it, talking about the past is nothing, it's a matter of course, isn't it? And it has nothing to do with Brother Haoning.
In the past few days, Luo Haochen and I had a showdown, and I told him frankly and honestly why he married me in relation to our Yun family."
Some words seem to make you feel embarrassed when you say them, but you will feel much better if you say the words you are holding back.
"He resents our family for transplanting Chu Mengyao's cornea. These are all facts. Wouldn't it be better for everyone to know clearly? Why do we have to hide it? Let Luo Haochen's hatred for me be more open.
Well, I accept it calmly."
Yun Mengxue felt that the tone of her words at this time was a bit too radical. It was the first time she had directly faced people from the Luo family like this, but the emotional gate was open and there was no way to close it. Her words came out like water.
, that is, it is difficult to collect water.
"Auntie, Brother Haoning, I know that I may be in an emotional relationship at this time, and what I said is a little illogical and clueless. But... my intention is very clear, I just want Auntie and Brother Haoning to know that you and I are on the same road.
People, please stop being secretive about me, because... we are all the people Luo Haochen hates, including his father."
This was what Yun Mengxue wanted to express in the end, and she finally said it out amid all kinds of entanglements.
Xu Yeli and Luo Haoning looked slightly surprised and looked at each other.
Yun Mengxue's words, in other words, are telling the Luo family except Luo Haochen that she is a member of this family. Since she has married into the Luo family, no matter how she married in or whether Luo Haochen admits it, Yun Mengxue will integrate herself into it.
After leaving this family, she has to take responsibility for the joys, sorrows and joys of this family.
"Hate...ha..."
After calming down her surprised expression for a moment, Xu Yeli's gentle smile before was covered up, and what emerged was a look of extreme sadness.
"Mengxue, I really didn't expect that you... would say such things to us so directly. If Jingtian heard what you said, wouldn't he deliberately say this to us for fear of being embarrassed?
Are you avoiding it?"
Yun Mengxue nodded slightly. All she needed to say had been said. It seemed that she didn't need to say anything more. The next thing she did was just listen quietly as an audience.
Some intuition in her heart told Yun Mengxue that the lock on Xu Yeli's heart might soon be unlocked and the door opened to her.
"mom……"
Luo Haoning looked at Xu Yeli with some worry. Those old memories coming to mind would definitely hurt Xu Yeli's heart even more.
"I'm fine."
Xu Yeli forced a smile, but such a sad smile made people feel sad and wanted to cry.
"If that's the case, then... I'll tell you clearly, that kind of thing... Haoning, mother has never let you know."
Xu Yeli's words made Luo Haoning look surprised, and Yun Mengxue also felt a little surprised.
"What on earth is going on? What else are you hiding from me?"
"That's..."
Although Xu Yeli had made a lot of determination, it was really hard for her to talk about the suppressed pain in her heart.
"Haoning, you shouldn't have ended up like this. It's all because of your mother's fault that you are like this. It's all...all because of me that you have such an embarrassing position in this family and have to endure it.
The hatred I shouldn’t bear is all mine..."
After all kinds of entanglements and Yun Mengxue's persistent questioning, Xu Yeli finally told what was deep in her heart——
Luo Haoning is not Luo Haochen's half-brother, but Xu Yeli's child with someone else.
Right and wrong can be traced back to more than thirty years ago.
At that time, the young Luo Jingtian was forced to break up with his first love Xu Yeli because of family ties, and married another woman arranged by his family, who was Luo Haochen's mother.
Although he felt unwilling in his heart, facing his gentle wife, Luo Jingtian just wanted to spend his time like this.
Maybe it was because the relationship was not over yet. Two years later, at a commercial dance in another city, Luo Jingtian met his first love Xu Yeli again.
After breaking up with Luo Jingtian, Xu Yeli came to this strange city and met her husband, Mr. Luo.
The two people who still haven't gotten over the emotional confusion want to meet again. There will definitely be a lot to say and many tangled threads that cannot be solved. Xu Yeli admitted that the reason why she married Mr. Luo was just because his surname was Luo.
And he was nice to her, that's all.
Luo Jingtian felt hurt when the person he once deeply loved married a man who had no feelings for her. He was also forced to marry a woman whom he had always regarded as his sister, and he was also suffering internally.
Not wanting to hurt the two innocent people around them, Luo Jingtian and Xu Yeli didn't want to mention that relationship again, but they couldn't stop each other's nostalgia and heartache for the past.
Shortly after the dance, Luo Jingtian was shocked to learn that Xu Yeli's husband, Mr. Luo, died unexpectedly. Because of this, she was considered a bad person by her family and they kicked her out.
Luo Jingtian went through all the trouble to find Xu Yeli and found that she was pregnant at the time, so Luo Jingtian took Xu Yeli back to the city and arranged a place for her to live.
Over the years, Luo Jingtian has carefully taken care of Xu Yeli, and also witnessed Luo Haoning's birth. However, due to the relationship with his wife, Luo Jingtian has never crossed the physical boundary with Xu Yeli.
A few years later, Luo Jingtian's wife passed away because she was suffering from a serious disease that could not be cured. Looking at her young son, as well as Xu Yeli and Luo Haoning, whom she had secretly taken care of for so many years, Luo Jingtian finally made a bold decision - he wanted to renew their relationship.
.
But the decision is easy to make, but the process is extremely difficult.
Luo Haochen simply couldn't accept the sudden appearance of a woman at home and a boy about his own age who wanted to call him brother. In his heart, his mother's status was not allowed to be replaced by anyone else.
