C6 Full of Dreams
I decided to stay. If one day I really lose everything, at least he will be left behind.
I gradually started to adapt to this kind of life, because my attention had already shifted from Lu Tao to the children in my belly. I joined a few pregnant women to share the bits and pieces of pregnancy with each other every day, feeling their blessings. Looking at the pictures of the mothers who had given birth, I hope that the day will soon come.
"Oh my god, did you get into an awkward situation with Little Waves?"
Grandma finally saw it. Although his son had put in a lot of effort to put on an act in front of her, but after all, humans were not animals, so she was able to see through it.
"Don't worry, Mom. Lu Tao just got promoted. He's been too busy recently."
I smiled reluctantly. There was no way to tell others about the conflict between Lu Tao and me. Furthermore, I believed that if we were unable to solve the problem, then it would be even more troublesome for Grandma to get involved.
"That still won't do, I should hurry up on my work, but I can't ignore you and the child. Don't worry, Mom will come back and have a good talk with him, the couple is like a pair of upper and lower teeth, how can we not fight? If we really lose one of them one day, then no matter how tasty something is in front of you, it will be useless."
I looked at Grandma and saw that her back was slightly bent. She was tired from all her work. Although Grandma didn't have much culture, her words just now were very reasonable.
I vaguely felt that there was something different in Nanny's eyes. She must have thought of her deceased father-in-law.
"Mom, don't worry, we're fine."
"Go to the hospital and check. Don't worry."
"Sigh."
I agreed. I haven't been in good health recently, so I directly applied for a big leave of absence from the company. At that time, I originally wanted to resign directly, but this time Director Xu took care of me.
The company gave me a leave of absence. Every month, I would be given a basic living allowance. The rest would have to wait until after the birth of the child before I could make up for it.
Grandma didn't follow me out today, so I was able to breathe a sigh of relief. Every time I came out, Grandma would follow me around like a shadow, better than my own mother, afraid of walking while I fell, afraid of going up the elevator, afraid of being touched. That kind of meticulous attention made me feel like I had never felt before, like a little bird trapped in a cage.
After I became pregnant, my mother-in-law strictly forbade me to drive, saying that she had heard from downstairs that a pregnant woman had driven into trouble a while ago, and that the child had been knocked out. During that time, my mother-in-law would talk about it in my ear almost every day, and I had no choice but to give up.
After getting into a taxi, if it was a normal day, he would have gone to a few good friends' mall or bar to take a look. This was an effective way for women to communicate and vent their emotions, but it was different now.
I took out my cell phone. I'm at work now, and I rarely contacted my former best friends after getting married. I stared at those numbers blankly, not knowing who to call.
"It's Su Nianhua."
At the entrance to the mall, I heard someone call out to me. I didn't expect to meet someone I knew here.
"Liu Xiao, what a coincidence!"
Liu Xiao is my university classmate, a dorm mate. At that time, there were four people in the same dorm, after all, we lived in the same university for four years, so their relationship is pretty good. After graduating, we didn't have much contact, so we didn't expect to meet here.
"Just yourself?"
I nodded. "I just happened to meet you. Let's take a walk and have a meal together."
"Where is your escort, Lu Tao? "Why isn't he here?"
Hearing Lu Tao, I couldn't help but sniff and my tears started to roll in my eyes. I was afraid that Liu Xiao would see it, so I forcefully held it in.
"He has a lot of work to do at work, not to mention shopping. Men don't like it either." I smiled, a little forced.
"You guys get married after graduation, it's really enviable. Although it's just a fresh flower stuck in cow dung, it's still not bad. At least Lu Tao is wholehearted towards you."
Liu Xiao's condition is not bad, her family is rich and tall, just that she is too ugly. There shouldn't be a lack of men around her, if there really is a man around, I definitely won't leave any behind to serve as a light bulb.
"Che Jing, over here, guess who we met today!"
"Su Daji!"
"Go, stop messing around."
It really was Che Jing. What a coincidence, all four of them had gathered at the university dormitory.
"We haven't seen each other for almost a year. If not, why don't we call Suen Rann out as a reunion for our Room 308?" Liu Xiao looked at me. Suen Rann and I had the best relationship among all of them. She was a typical best friend, but after graduation, we rarely contacted each other.
"In your prime, what are you thinking about? Just make a call." Che Jing began to urge me on.
"That's not good. What if he works!"
"Oh right, Nian Hua, how could you have the time to come out? It's not a weekend." Liu Xiao looked at me and I smiled, then pointed at my belly. They both let out a cheer and pressed their palms against each other. I told you about the pregnancy, and it's been three months.
The two of them were envious again. They both said that when a woman was over 30, many things would start to be discounted, just like clothes in a shopping mall. The older one was, the higher the discount rate was.
"I'm so happy to be a mother so soon. Remember to inform us when you are giving birth to a foster son."
"Then you have to prepare a big red packet."
"No problem."
"You are second mother, and I am third mother!"
"Sure, I'll make you my mistress."
We chatted and laughed until we returned to Liu Ran. Che Jing had a lot of contact with her, Che Jing said. In the previous stage, Suen Rann had just resigned, so she should be fine now.
Listening to Che Jing's words, I also wanted to get together. Suen Rann's phone was still unconnected, so I was just about to hang up when I heard Suen Rann's voice.
"Suen Rann, what are you busy with?"
"I'm not busy, I'm in my prime, why did you call me today?"
"I missed you. Liu Xiao and Che Jing are both here. It's not convenient for you to come out and gather together at the Wanhua Mansion."
"No need, I have something to do at home today. You three can have a good time."
Suen Rann directly hung up the phone. After not seeing her for three years, it was obvious that their relationship had already faded. I pouted. "Suen Rann has matters at home. She can't come."
We went straight to Pasheng. Actually, we went in to have a chat. My thoughts were all on the kids. Very quickly, I noticed that the topic between us was disappearing.
Che Jing took a phone call and left. Liu Xiao sat for a while and found an excuse to slip away. When she left, she agreed to meet up next time.
After exiting from the inside, I got on the elevator. I rarely came to the Wanhua Mansion, as the things inside were extremely expensive. Any small shirt would cost thousands of yuan, and any slightly higher grade clothes would cost over ten thousand yuan.
The main reason why I was strolling around here was to pass the time. The environment here was very good, with elegant music playing, and as I walked forward, perhaps because I met Liu Xiao and Che Jing, I couldn't help but recall the time when I was in university. That was a beautiful time, carefree and full of chatter, and there was no need to think about the living expenses at that time of mine.
"Why don't you have eyes?"
As the voice spoke, I noticed that I had accidentally stepped on a woman's shoe. "Sorry, I didn't see it."
"I didn't see it. Since I'm an adult and you're standing here, why are you stepping on top of me and saying you didn't see me? What if my shoes get dirty?" I looked at that woman. She was wearing a famous brand, just like in the legends. There were only two possibilities for such a young girl. She couldn't buy things here on her own.
"I've already apologized. I didn't notice it earlier and only stepped on you. Is there a need to do this?" I suddenly felt that this woman was a little ridiculous.
"Do you know how much these shoes cost? I can't even afford to sell you. "
"So what if you have money? "If you have money, you can shout and shout; if you have money, you can squander the dignity of others; if you earn money with a clear conscience, I'm afraid that won't be the case." I was furious, and there was no place for me to vent my anger. This kind of woman had to give her some color, or else she would definitely kick her nose.
"What's wrong?"
"Young Master Gu," a man's voice came from the fitting room, but I didn't notice it. The woman immediately ran over when the figure appeared, "Young Master Gu, there's a bumpkin over there who stepped on me and was so fierce. He scared me to death."
As the man looked up, I froze.
Although I tried my best to forget about that face, the moment he raised his head, I realized that I couldn't do it at all. That face was just like a nightmare.
I turned around and left. At that time, my head buzzed and the man who walked out of it was the person from Gu's Villa that night.
"Halt."
I heard his voice, and I didn't want to stop at all. I heard hurried footsteps behind me, and in that moment, I started to run, and the instant my fingers touched the elevator, he rushed over and grabbed my hand.
