Sun Shaoyun looked her up and down, looked at the bag in her hand, and said, "You're leaving so early in the morning?"
She had just woken up and was about to make breakfast when she bumped into Qi Chengyue.
"En, I won't bother you anymore. Go back to the hotel early," Qi Chengyue said.
Sun Shaoyun looked at her suspiciously and said in a low voice, "Chengyue, tell me, did Dongge bully you?"
"What? No! "Qi Chengyue immediately shook his head in denial.
Sun Shaoyun pulled her into the kitchen next to the house and whispered, "You don't have to hide it for him. I saw him enter your room last night. Originally, I thought that both of you were adults, and he said that he was chasing after you. I saw your interaction with him, and you seemed to like him, so I didn't interfere. But if he takes advantage of the fact that this is his home and takes the opportunity to bully you, you tell me. I won't forgive him. You don't have to hide it for him. "
"Auntie, I really didn't." Qi Chengyue waved her hands repeatedly.
Sun Shaoyun thought about it, grabbed her hand, and whispered, "Is it because his position in the company is higher than yours, so you don't dare to offend him? Is he using this to bully you? Don't worry, I know my son. He's not a despicable person. Even if he had really changed after all these years in B City and was completely different from how he was at home, if you tell me, I will definitely not let him bully you. If he dares to do such a despicable thing, his father and I will break his legs! I really didn't expect that he would become like this after we educated him so strictly since he was young! Chengyue, it's us parents who didn't teach our child well. We've let you down. "
The more Sun Shaoyun spoke, the more she felt that Cheng Dongge had committed an unforgivable crime. Her eyes reddened.
Qi Chengyue was extremely anxious. How could she have imagined that such a big misunderstanding would occur? With one look, she could tell that Cheng Dongge's parents were very reasonable people. Furthermore, Sun Shaoyun was absolutely serious when she spoke. She couldn't let Cheng Dongge suffer such injustice for no reason.
"Auntie, Cheng Dongge is really a good person. You didn't teach your son wrong. He's someone you can be proud of for the rest of your lives. Whether it was his character, work, or any other aspect, there was nothing to nitpick about him. In the company, all the colleagues respected him. He would never do those despicable things, do things that hurt people. He's really nice. He didn't bully me. "As Qi Chengyue spoke, her nose turned sour.
"Then why are you leaving so early in the morning? It's not even five o'clock yet. " Sun Shaoyun glanced at the alarm clock on the table that she usually used for cooking. "Is it because he's pursuing you that you feel pressured? You don't like him? Actually, you don't have to hide from him. Just tell him directly. He won't pester you, and we won't let him pester you and cause you trouble. "
"Auntie, I like him." Qi Chengyue sucked her lips, not knowing how to continue.
Sun Shaoyun breathed a sigh of relief and immediately held Qi Chengyue's hand happily. "That's good, that's good. Yesterday, I felt that you two were very compatible. Moreover, from what you said just now, I can tell that you have a very good impression of him. Is there any problem? As long as you like each other, it's fine. We'll be fine. Miss, judging from your accent, you must be a local from B City, right? Is it because you think it's inconvenient for him to come here because he's not from here? Or is it because you don't want to marry us? "
"Don't worry, Dongge will definitely stay in B City to work. Your parents live in B City, so he definitely can't bring you here. After all, your home and your job are also there. He can't do anything unfair to you. My wife and I are used to living here. When we really get old and can't move, we won't need you to serve us. We can go to a nursing home by ourselves. Nowadays, the conditions of nursing homes are very good. You just have to come and visit us when the time comes. Even if we miss our son in the future and really want to live closer to him, we won't squeeze into the same house as you. We know that it's inconvenient for each other to live in.
"We also have some savings. If we sell this house, we won't be able to buy a big house in B City, but it'll be enough to buy a small house. There's no need for Dongge to give us money, and it won't affect your life. It's not easy for you young people to work hard in B City. You can barely make a living on your own. The two of us are also retired from ordinary families. We can't help you too much, but at least we can't be a burden to you. Don't worry about that. You just have to live with Dongge in peace. "
As Sun Shaoyun spoke, she became a little embarrassed. She laughed and said, "Look at me, you two haven't officially gotten together yet, right? Am I thinking a little too far? Miss, don't feel pressured. Just let nature take its course. "
Sun Shaoyun liked Qi Chengyue more and more. Her first impression was quite good.
However, no matter what, it was only her first time meeting Qi Chengyue. Even if her first impression was good, she didn't really like her that much.
Most importantly, it was because Cheng Dongge liked her. She believed in her son's taste. Although Huang Ziyue seemed to have misjudged Huang Ziyue, Huang Ziyue was the one who took the initiative to pursue Cheng Dongge. Cheng Dongge was more responsible than loving her.
Sun Shaoyun had always known this.
Qi Chengyue looked at Sun Shaoyun. Her throat was so sore that she couldn't speak.
If … If Cheng Dongge didn't have a girlfriend back then, if she and Cheng Dongge had met earlier, if she had been with Cheng Dongge and not Jian Yi, how good would that have been?
If she hadn't been divorced, if she had a mother-in-law like Sun Shaoyun …
However, she was too stubborn back then. If it had been back then, Cheng Dongge probably wouldn't have liked her. She wouldn't have experienced Cheng Dongge's good side, nor would she have known Sun Shaoyun's good side.
If it hadn't been back then, she wouldn't be here now.
She had only met the right Cheng Dongge at the wrong time after going through all sorts of mishaps.
Now that she had become better, she was no longer worthy of Cheng Dongge.
Qi Chengyue could not hold it in any longer. Tears fell from her red eyes. Right now, she really wanted to bawl her eyes out. She wanted to vent out all the mistakes and regrets with all her might.
"Why are you crying?" Sun Shaoyun asked nervously. She didn't know what she said to make Qi Chengyue feel wronged. She hurriedly picked up a box of tissues from the table and handed it to Qi Chengyue.
Qi Chengyue took it but didn't wipe her tears. Her hands trembled and she clenched her teeth tightly. After a while, she made up her mind and said, "Auntie."
"Yes," Sun Shaoyun answered quickly.
Qi Chengyue only felt that her chest was stuffy and uncomfortable. Because of what she was about to say, her tears fell even harder. "If I say that I was married before and just got divorced a few days ago, that I'm a divorced woman, will you still be willing to accept me?"
Through her blurry tears, she looked nervously at Sun Shaoyun's reaction. Sun Shaoyun was stunned. "You …"
She let go of Qi Chengyue's hand in shock. She looked at Qi Chengyue in disbelief and took two steps back. For a moment, she really couldn't accept it.
It wasn't that she was old fashioned, but it really was too sudden.
Moreover, she really felt that her son was so outstanding. He could find any outstanding woman to marry, so why did he have to find a divorced woman?
She didn't mean that a divorced woman didn't have the right to marry again.
If this had happened to someone else, she could understand and even sympathize with the woman.
But when it really happened to her son, she really couldn't accept it for a moment.
Her mouth opened and closed, but she couldn't say a word.
Seeing her reaction, Qi Chengyue understood.
She lowered her head and sobbed. "Auntie, I know I'm not good enough for Cheng Dongge. I won't let him be laughed at, and I won't make things difficult for you. I … I'm leaving first. "
She put down the tissue box that Sun Shaoyun had just handed her. Her hand tightly gripped the strap of her bag, and she turned to run out of the Cheng residence.
Sun Shaoyun's heart was in a mess. She stood there, not knowing what to do. She took a step forward, wanting to chase after her, but stopped herself. She opened her mouth to say something, but in the end, she could only sigh helplessly.
Qi Chengyue felt really embarrassed. She stood in front of the elevator, so nervous that she was afraid that someone would come out. She kept pressing the down button on the side of the elevator.
With great difficulty, the elevator finally rose up. She immediately ran inside. When the elevator door closed, she was alone.
It was too early, so no one had taken the elevator yet.
Qi Chengyue leaned against the elevator door weakly until she walked out of the door. When she was outside, she looked up at the floor where the Cheng residence was.
She saw the window of Cheng Dongge's bedroom, but she didn't see the window of Cheng Dongge's guest room. The guest room was on the other side.
Qi Chengyue's heart ached terribly. She thought that divorce would be a relief, but she didn't expect that it would become the biggest stain on her. It was a stain that she couldn't erase no matter what.
If she hadn't met Cheng Dongge, she wouldn't have cared.
But now, she really, really wished that she could start all over again. She had never married anyone, and she wanted to give the best of herself to him.
Qi Chengyue lowered her head, buried her face in her palms, and cried for a long time. Her sobs got stuck in her throat, and her shoulders trembled.
…
…
When Cheng Dongge got up in the morning, he saw that Cheng Zhaohui and Sun Shaoyun were already sitting at the dining table.
The two of them were facing each other, whispering about something. When Sun Shaoyun saw Cheng Dongge come out, she immediately poked Cheng Zhaohui, and the two of them stopped talking.
Their sneaky behavior made Cheng Dongge look at them suspiciously, and he asked, "She's not up yet?"
Sun Shaoyun's face twitched twice, and she looked troubled. She stammered, not daring to look at Cheng Dongge. She slowly stood up and went into the kitchen to scoop porridge for Cheng Dongge, using the busy work at hand to distract herself from her nervousness.
She placed the porridge in front of Cheng Dongge's seat, and her head was still lowered, not daring to look at him. She forced herself to say naturally, "She left early in the morning."
"Left?" Cheng Dongge's face darkened, and he walked back without another word. When he opened the bedroom door, he found that the bed was neatly made, and the clothes he had given her to use as pajamas were all neatly folded and placed on the bed. Her bag was also gone.
Cheng Dongge walked back again and asked, "When did she leave?"
"I got up to cook. It wasn't even five when I saw her come out." Sun Shaoyun's eyes drifted, and she felt a little guilty.
"Then why didn't you ask her to stay?" Cheng Dongge looked at Sun Shaoyun suspiciously. Her reaction was really strange.
"I asked her to stay. She insisted on leaving." As Sun Shaoyun spoke, she gritted her teeth and finally looked up at Cheng Dongge. "She told me that she had just gotten a divorce a few days ago. Dongge, why didn't you tell me? "
"Is that why you didn't stop her from leaving?" Cheng Dongge didn't think that his parents would really care about this kind of thing.
"This …" Sun Shaoyun froze for a moment, then sighed. She raised her head and said seriously, "I was also stunned at the time. And indeed, it wasn't easy to accept. You can say that I'm old-fashioned, but I can't understand her as a woman. If it had happened in someone else's house, I would have been able to think for her and stand in her shoes to support her. But when it really comes to me, this matter is really not so easy to accept. "
"Dongge, tell me, why did she get a divorce? Who was responsible for the divorce? Or … "Sun Shaoyun's expression didn't look good." Or did she cheat on you, and you two had an affair? She said that she had just gotten a divorce a few days ago, so how could she have developed feelings for you in just a few days? That's unlikely. Does that mean that you two already had feelings for each other before the divorce? Dongge, tell me the truth. Were you the third party in her marriage? "
Looking at Sun Shaoyun, if Cheng Dongge dared to say yes, she would definitely hit him.
Even Cheng Zhaohui put down his bowl and chopsticks, stood up, and looked at Cheng Dongge with a serious expression.
Both of them were retired and would usually use their phones to browse WeChat and WeChat moments. But because most of the friends they added were of the same age, the content in their WeChat moments was mostly about health and current affairs. The two of them didn't pay attention to the entertainment gossip, and they didn't even remember the name of the Qi family.
Cheng Dongge had mentioned Qi Chengzhi's name before, but the two of them didn't take it to heart and forgot about it. So even though they heard Qi Chengyue's name, they didn't think much about it, and they didn't know about the hot news a few days ago.
Cheng Dongge didn't hide anything. Anyway, in this marriage, Qi Chengyue was the victim from start to finish, so he told them everything in detail.
Sun Shaoyun was tongue-tied and sat back in her chair. "Not only is she divorced, but she's also the daughter of the Qi family?"
To them, the Qi family was a particularly distant existence. It was at the top of the world, as if they weren't even on the same level.
Because it was so far away, they didn't even have the mood to care about the gossip of that class. Anyway, they usually didn't see those people on TV or online, as if they weren't in their lives. They didn't even think of caring about those people's gossip.
"Mom, the divorce isn't her fault. After she got married, she wholeheartedly wanted to maintain a good marriage. She's a woman who's loyal to love," Cheng Dongge said in a low voice. "I just want you to be fair to her. It's not like she doesn't have the right to remarry after a divorce. Other than the marriage certificate and the divorce certificate, she's no different from a breakup in love. Didn't I also have a fiancée and break up with her? Huang Ziyue is still kind. She didn't divorce me after we got married. Then, I'll be a divorced man. Wouldn't that make us a good match? If that's the case, I'll find someone to marry now and divorce the next day. How about that? "
"You child, what nonsense are you talking about?!" Sun Shaoyun stomped her feet angrily. "Even if she's never married, she's still the daughter of the Qi family. How can our family climb up to that kind of family?"
"Mom, if she cared about those things, she wouldn't have married her ex-husband and been used by that man." Cheng Dongge clenched his fists. If it weren't for Jian Yi, they wouldn't be in so much trouble now.
"My mind is in a mess right now. I can't understand anything." Sun Shaoyun pressed her forehead hard and pressed her thumbs against her temples. "Let me think about it calmly."
"Then I'll leave first," Cheng Dongge said.
"Where are you going?" Sun Shaoyun looked up and asked in surprise.
"I'm going to find her. I was going back to B City today, but she left like that this morning. I'm worried." Cheng Dongge took the car keys and left.
"Sigh!" Sun Shaoyun sighed heavily. Seeing her son like this, how could she stop him?
