hard to let go

Chapter 40

As the cold winter gradually entered, this morning, after experiencing a night of chaos, everyone's faces were full of inexplicable emotions.Leng Xi stood quietly not far away, watching her daughter get into the car, a layer of sweat broke out from the palm of her hand holding the bag.She is envious of the tacit understanding between their father and daughter.

Gao Ziqun stood by the car door, looking at her with a bit of warmth on his face, "I'll see you off along the way." His brows and eyes are no longer as deep as cold pools, but are replaced by a clear one.

Leng Xi was stunned for a moment, then Gao Xixi poked her head out, "Mom, get in the car, you're going to be late for work, and I'm going to be late for school too."

Leng Xi took a breath in his heart, raised his feet and walked slowly.

The car turned out of the community smoothly and drove smoothly all the way.Gao Xixi looked at Gao Ziqun and then at Lengxi, and finally pursed her mouth tightly without saying a word.

After a long silence, when they arrived at school, Leng Xi handed her her schoolbag, "Grandma will pick you up at noon."

Gao Xixi nodded, "I see, Mom." She raised her head, her eyes met Gao Zi***, "Goodbye, Dad."

Gao Ziqun nodded.

Like many parents at the school gate, the two watched their daughter enter the school gate. This scene was the most common, but it was the most precious to the three of them.

"I'll see you off." Gao Ziqun turned to Leng Xi and said.

Leng Xi moved her fingertips and was silent for a few seconds. This time, she did not refuse him again.

Through the rearview mirror, he looked at her quiet side face, her face was gloomy, her brows were slightly frowned, and her fingers were tightly clasped.Gao Ziqun is too familiar with her movements, she will do this whenever she has troubles.

"Sun Cheng has already told me about your company. Your company is not suitable for Zhongzheng." At the beginning, he intended to cooperate with Boyi, and it was also because of her.His eyes dimmed and he explained, after all, the grudge between them was too deep, and he didn't want her to misunderstand something.

Leng Xi's eyes slowly turned in from the window, and she returned softly, "I know." Her voice was full of emotion, "I'm sorry about what happened last time."

Hearing her tone, Gao Ziqun couldn't help but tighten his hand holding the steering wheel. He reluctantly pulled the corner of his mouth. His mood was a little complicated for a moment, and his voice was a little hoarse. "In the beginning, I really want to cooperate with your company." The following words He didn't say any more.

Leng Xi understood, she breathed out, "Why did you change your mind?" If he cooperated with their company, wouldn't he have another weapon to blackmail her.

Gao Ziqun suddenly turned his head and glanced at her, "In the past, I would definitely do this." There was a bit of regret in his tone, and he glanced back deeply.

Leng Xi couldn't help frowning, and she quickly changed the subject, "If you have time on the weekend, take Xixi back to your place, she misses you very much—" Xixi's departure made her understand that they The 7-year relationship between father and daughter is not something she can insert overnight.And she had to admit that the person Xixi was closer to was actually Gao Ziqun.

She was by Xixi's bedside last night, and the child whispered "Daddy".Leng Xi only felt her nose sore, and waves of guilt swept through her internal organs.

In the quiet night, her mind was filled with memories from 7 years ago.Unwillingness, hatred, heartache... Wordless emotions came overwhelming.

For so many years, she was unhappy, and neither was her family.

She thought that returning her daughter would make up for the regrets in her heart, and at least she would be happier, but she ignored that the blood relationship cannot be cut off.

When getting out of the car, Leng Xi said softly, "Thank you." The thick nasal voice did not conceal her bitter feelings along the way.

Gao Ziqun watched her walk into the building silently, his back was thin and lonely, and he frowned.

The company is now in a state of panic because of what happened last time, and many employees have already started sending their resumes in private.Leng Xi is still doing what she should do as usual, but in fact there is nothing left to do now.

Everyone is tacit when they meet each other, and they smile politely and without emotion.

In the morning, Yu Lei came to her alone, "Lengxi, I will go to company A next week." His expression was very serious, and he was a little helpless, "We have no choice for many things until now."

Knowing that Yu Lei was able to talk to her like this, Leng Xi naturally didn't treat her as an outsider. "Brother, after this period of work is over, I plan to take a break." She is not a strong woman, and she doesn't want to make a big difference in her work. What she wants now is stability in this world.

Yu Lei nodded, he didn't force her, "Come to me anytime in the future." He extended his hand kindly, "Lengxi, I met you when you were a freshman." He suddenly threw out this sentence.

Leng Xi was taken aback for a moment, and the two looked at each other.

Yu Lei raised his eyebrows, "Let's think about it, it was that time, I was one of the judges in the freshman and sophomore debate competition." He deliberately paused, "Actually, there was another judge at that time, and you also knew it."

Chu Hang——

In the end, when it came to the point where the company couldn't operate, Lengxi lost his job.On the first day of unemployment, she took Gao Xixi to eat western food at night.

Leng Xi explained the matter to her, Gao Xixi didn't respond, and said calmly, "Mom, don't worry, I will support you."

Leng Xi burst into a smile, his brows and eyes were full of tenderness.

Gao Xixi leaned forward, "Mom, I have a lot of money, it was given by my grandfather and father." She thought for a while and said suddenly, "My father said that I am his only heir, and I will manage my father's company in the future. .”

Lengxi broke out in cold sweat for a moment, "Does Xixi like it?"

Gao Xixi shrugged, "I can't help it. Wen Jun is not my father's child, so it's only me." She sighed in a dignified manner, "If you and your father have another brother, then the company will give him a younger brother." Bar."

Lengxi was a little amused, she was about to say something when Xixi let out a surprise, her eyes fell behind her in surprise.At the same time, Leng Xi tilted her head and saw a familiar figure.

"It's Uncle Chu." Xixi said. "That aunt is beautiful."

Leng Xi smiled, and the waiter brought over the food. "Okay, let's eat." She cut the steak into small cubes and put it in front of Xixi.Gao Xixi enjoyed it.

After the mother and daughter finished eating and paid the bill, Xixi wanted to go to the bathroom, and Lengxi accompanied her there.

In the bathroom, they ran into the woman who had just come in with Chu Hang again.The woman is washing her hands. She wears light makeup and is tall. Standing with Chu Hang is really eye-catching.

Leng Xi glanced lightly, the light in the bathroom was a little dim, but she could clearly see the soft smile on the woman's face.

When they came out, the woman had already left.Leng Xi took Gao Xixi's hand and walked towards the gate.

Since the incident of running away from home, Gao Xixi has returned to the past, "Mom, next time we bring Dad to eat, okay?"

Leng Xi was used to it. Generally, when Gao Xixi made this request, she was silent.

Gao Xixi was not angry either, and would always talk to himself.Sometimes Leng Xi wondered who this child looked like?She didn't think she would think of Gao Ziqun. Generally speaking, Gao Ziqun was indifferent.

When she felt a glimpse of sight in front of her, Leng Xi looked over in a daze, her brows frowned, and disappeared in a flash.Gao Xixi was also quiet at this time, and called obediently, "Uncle Chu—" the voice was soft.

Chu Hang bent down and hugged her, "Xixi, long time no see."

In fact, he also felt that Leng Xi had been avoiding her recently, Chu Hang's eyes were a little dim, and he frowned slightly, "I'll take you back."

"What about the beautiful aunt?" Gao Xixi looked around.

Chu Hang understood instantly, the corner of his mouth flickered with helplessness, and pulled the corner of his mouth towards Lengxi, "Since you saw me, why didn't you call me—" His tone was light, but his face was a little bad, and his jaw was tense. Tightly, "That's the daughter of my mother's colleague, who studied law like me, and is going back to work in City D to ask me." He explained.

A faint smile appeared on the corner of Leng Xi's mouth, "Let's go."

When I came out of the restaurant, it happened that the woman hadn't left yet.She guessed and never thought that Chu Hang would come out with a child in his arms, and the person standing next to him was actually she met in the bathroom.

Life is such a coincidence.

Chu Hang frowned without any trace, "Have you left yet?"

Xu Shi looked at him with clear eyes, "My friend hasn't come yet." After speaking, his eyes fell on Xixi again.She smiled, but the smile didn't reach her eyes.

Chu Hang introduced lightly, "My friend, Leng Xi, her daughter Xixi."

"Hello, my name is Xu Shi." Xu Shi's voice was pleasant.

"Hello, sister." Xixi called out sweetly.

Xu Shi smiled instantly.She looked at Leng Xi and sized her up slightly, "I really can't see that you became a mother at such a young age." She looked at Leng Xi who was only 25 or [-], and the child was probably six or seven years old.She also turned around in her heart. It seemed that Chu Hang really met friends, but their relationship was very good. If she hadn't had a child, she really thought that Chu Hang had other things for her.Xu Shi silently breathed a sigh of relief.This is her third blind date this year, and it's rare to meet such a person.

At this time, Xu Shi's friend also arrived, and she left slowly after saying goodbye.

Leng Xi could tell that Xu Shi was interested in Chu Hang.

They were walking back, and when passing by the night market, Leng Xi remembered to buy a baby warmer.She is afraid of the cold, probably because she didn't take good care of herself when Xixi was born that year, and her hands and feet were cold in winter.

Lengxi quickly chose one. She negotiated the price with the boss, and finally the boss sold it to her for 26 yuan.

"It's better to use less of this thing, it's not safe after all," Chu Hang said.

"It's okay, I buy one every year and I'm used to it."

Chu Hang sent them to the gate of the community, Leng Xi looked at the time, "It's getting late, you should go back early."

Chu Hang looked up at the building in front of him. In the dark night, the lights of thousands of houses were filled with warmth, so he nodded.

The corner of Leng Xi's mouth twitched, and his voice was a little heavy, "Chu Hang, Xu Shi is fine."
