75. Chapter 75(1/2)
"Zhenghong, what's wrong with you? It's too spicy?"
She did not answer Lao Mo's question, but raised her eyes and asked him with tears in her eyes: "Are you married?"
The two people opposite were stunned.
Lao Mo was particularly surprised. In her abnormal change from normal, she actually asked people about their personal affairs face to face. What surprised him even more was that the person being asked was not surprised and actually cooperated.
"No." He didn't expect that she would ask him this question, and his heart felt unsatisfactory, and the coldness in his eyes also reduced a lot.
"Oh." She nodded.
Lao Mo couldn't hold his chopsticks firmly and dropped them on the table. He picked them up with a little embarrassment, then diverted his attention and started greeting the guests.
Could it be that you have a crush on someone else? No...what the hell...is going on?
In fact, they both misunderstood. Ye Ruling has been thinking about how big her chances of winning are. She is single and he is single. Even if it is even, she has a good chance of winning. Financially, she has earned quite a lot in the past few years.
, the studio is getting better and better, and she gets a lot of dividends every year. She has never touched this money. After coming to the island, she was asked to design and decorate a small store. She makes several orders almost every month, doing this
The design work hours are short and the remuneration is not low, and she spends very little on the island. In addition, the salary and benefits of her work in the institute...
But all these combined - I don’t know if it is as much as Lin Chutian earned in half a year...
Damn, hate!
At this time, the cell phone of Mr. Lin rang. He glanced at it and picked it up without even bothering to turn aside: "Is it going well?... That's good... Is he happy?... Okay, hang up..."
"
Of course Ye Ruling would not play a fill-in-the-blank game to guess what the content of his phone call was, but her cell phone also rang at the same time.
It was Wutong's teacher Lin Haiyin who called. Ye Ruling immediately retreated outside the elegant room.
She covered the phone and asked in a low voice: "Teacher Lin, what's wrong? Is Wutong naughty again? Or is it a wound..."
"It's not a wound, Wutong is fine. Sister Ye, has Wutong's father come to the island?"
Her heart skipped a beat, and a bad premonition loomed over her: "...Yes, but..."
Before she could finish her words, the other party was even more anxious than she was. He took the conversation and continued to ask: "Is Wutong's father really with you now?"
"how do you know?"
"...Just now -" Before Lin Haiyin could finish her words, someone took away her microphone.
The little guy's excited voice rang in his ears: "Mom, are you really with your dad now? Mom, can I meet my dad, the real dad?"
At some point, Lin Chutian stood behind her.
"Can you explain what's going on?" She raised her phone and said to him coldly.
"Let Wutong know the real situation, I am his father!"
When she was tired, he would come over and rub her back and squeeze her shoulders with his little hands. When she was sick, he would pour her warm water and give her medicine, which was very considerate. He always refreshed her view of the world every day.
Cognition, he said that the sun has a different mood every day, he said that the clouds moved too fast and he could not keep up, and he also said that the soy milk he drank today was particularly lively. He also talked sweetly, and said after watching a popular science film: "
Mom, my love for you is as much as the earth to the moon."
More often, he would ask questions that would make her panic, stammering and not knowing how to answer:
"Why am I different from other children?"
"Why don't I have a father?"
"Why isn't mom with dad?"
"Can I let Uncle Wang Li be my father?"
When she discovered that his desire for her father had completely lost its principles and had no bottom, she told a shameful lie.
"Ye Wutong, this is a secret, you can't tell others. In fact, we are not from Earth."
She looked around to make sure there was no one around, then she whispered in his ear.
"Ah?" Ye Wutong was obviously shocked by this secret.
She lowered her head, fearing that she would be exposed, but this action seemed to make her very sad because of this fact.
"Because we are not from Earth, that's why you are different from other children."
"Really?"
"If you don't believe me, look at your ankles. Are there plug holes on both sides?"
He was doubtful, so he lifted up his trouser legs to check. Sure enough, he saw the two deep marks described by his mother, which were round and had two small round holes in the middle. The marks were one on each ankle, and they were very symmetrical. He didn't have too many marks before.
Notice.
"Have you noticed that other children have the same marks as you?"
He obviously lost the strength to answer in the face of this shocking reality and just shook his head.
"The secret that we are aliens cannot be told to anyone, not even Teacher Lin." Her lies began to take effect.
In fact, those two marks were obtained by living in an incubator not long after he was born. The premature baby was once declared a crisis, and she almost couldn't survive several times. And she once thought she was going to lose him, and she cried until she had no tears. What he left behind
The scar would follow him all his life, but unexpectedly it fulfilled her lies. The sequelae of compiling this story for Ye Wutong was that he did not ask her for a father again, but in the kindergarten, he also seemed to be a different person. For a long time
For a period of time, he was unwilling to communicate with other children. He always sat in a high place and thought about life, looking at people with a particularly profound look. Because he felt that there was no need to waste his precious time with people on earth. One day he would return
He went to an alien planet. He said "Good night, Dad" to the moon every day because it was the largest alien planet he could see.
"He seems to have changed." Lin Haiyin told her.
She was worried and felt that she was guilty. They said that a child's childhood was particularly important. She had already caused him to have no father. If her story had a negative impact, she would regret it. Until he came and asked her: "
Can aliens have girlfriends, get married, and be fathers like Earthlings?"
"Of course, no problem at all!"
He walked away with a serious look on his face again.
Her guilt for him is as deep as the earth to the moon.
Lin Chutian easily exposed her lies. She calmed down, went back to the house, said goodbye to Lao Mo and apologized, then picked up her belongings and rushed to Ye Wutong's kindergarten.
"You?" Lao Mo still expressed his doubts.
"She is my wife."
"Ah...you said Zhenghong..."
"Her real name is Ye Ruling."
She rushed to Ye Wutong's kindergarten and saw a huge moving truck parked at the entrance of the kindergarten. There were people moving boxes down continuously. These boxes were stacked in the center of the small playground. The children were jumping around on the small playground.
They were shouting and it was very lively. In the middle where they were surrounding, someone was handing out stuffed dolls and various stationery as gifts. The children were very happy.
"Sister Ye, Sister Ye. Are you over here?"
Lin Haiyin waved to her from behind. She walked quickly a few steps and came to Lin Haiyin's side. She pointed at the bustling crowd.
"This is?"
"Wutong's father sent not only toys and stationery, but also new TVs in every classroom... It turns out that Wutong's father is such a capable person."
"Your scarf?" Ye Ruling saw with sharp eyes the new scarf around Lin Haiyin's neck. She had been thinking about buying it for a long time but always thought it was too expensive.
"It's also one of the gifts."
Ye Ruling raised her eyebrows, feeling upset. Lin Chutian had always been generous, which was not surprising to her, but he was able to bribe Wutong's classmates, teachers, and school in just a few hours... to make everyone say good things about him.
, are all on his side.
"Where is Wutong?" Wutong is the last level.
"I'm watching videos in the classroom."
She immediately turned into the classroom to look for him.
"Wutong, hello, I am your father, Lin Chutian. Are you curious about your father and want to know what kind of person your father is? Come with me..."
Before she entered the house, she heard Lin Chutian's voice coming from the TV. She opened the door and saw that Ye Wutong was sitting on a stool, holding his chin and looking up at the TV hanging high. On the TV, Lin Chutian was coming.
He walked over and introduced the place where he worked. He had moved to a new office building. It was a tall and large new building they built themselves. And his home was the house in Hongli. It was exactly the same as before. Even the coffee machine.
, the position of the vase on the table was the same as when she left. Lin Chutian wanted to tell Wu Tong everything about him and what kind of person he was, so he introduced his job and the home he lived in...
…The scene moved to the main house of the Lin family. Grandpa, grandparents, and then the Ye family, grandparents, uncles and aunts... Everyone appeared in turn and greeted Wutong.
Ye Ruling saw the appearance of her elders, especially her parents, who were much older and had more gray hair on their temples. Ye Ruling watched everything on TV, her heart ached and she shed more tears.
It flows endlessly.
"The film is not long, less than ten minutes. But Wu Tong has watched it several times." Lin Haiyin added next to him.
Ye Ruling quickly turned her back and wiped away her tears.
Every shot and every face in the entire film was smiling. With those smiles, she realized how unfilial, selfish, and hateful she was. She felt that she looked disgusting at this moment, and she didn't want to look at her face.
"Mom!" Wutong heard a voice behind him, turned around and saw Ye Ruling standing by the door, and immediately ran towards her.
"Wutong, I'm sorry." She squatted down and hugged Wutong. She thought she was strong enough, but in fact she cried easily and had more tears than anyone else. Until she saw these pictures, she once again had a clear understanding of herself.
