Chapter 15 The Unloved Child

Qiu Yang has to work on three projects throughout the summer vacation. He leaves early and comes back late every day, which makes Xia Jinxian very curious about what he is doing.

That day when I was leaving for work, I happened to see Qiu Yang coming back from his morning run. His short hair was dripping with sweat, and his handsome face was as sharp as a knife or an axe.

With eyes like an eagle, it seems that one can see through people's hearts.

Xia Jinxian was not afraid of him and asked, "What are you busy with these days?"

Qiu Yang raised his face and said with some pride, "They are all state secrets. You don't understand even if I tell you."

Xia Jinxian nodded and said, "Okay, I won't listen. You must hold it in and don't say it."

Qiu Yang couldn't hold it in anymore and said, "Xiao Xian, I will just work hard in the past few years. When I get rich, I-I will-"

Xia Jinxian looked at it . Looking at him, he finally smiled and said, "Okay, if you have money, find a wife, settle down and give me a little nephew to hold."

Qiu Yang's face immediately dropped, he turned around angrily, slammed the door and went in .

Tan Xia was also carrying her bag and getting ready to go to work. Seeing Xia Jinxian standing at the door, she asked, "Was it, um, Qiu Yang just now?"

Xia Jinxian nodded.

Tan Xia was very curious about Qiu Yang and asked Xia Jinxian about Qiu Yang from time to time.

Xia Jinxian sees through things but doesn't expose them. She occasionally talks about her past acquaintance with Qiu Yang, or asks Qiu Yang to come over to this room for dinner or something.

But Qiu Yang ignored Xia Jinxian's matchmaking.

Qiu Yang just disliked how messy the room was made by Tan Qing. While helping to clean it up, he complained about how these women could be so lazy.

Xia Jinxian pretended not to hear anyway, so Tan Qing tried to criticize him and said to him, "You are so disgusting, don't come here if you can."

Qiu Yang would look at Xia Jinxian at this time, and then said, "Why do n't you come here?" I didn't come here because Xiaoxian asked me."

Tan Qing also noticed Qiu Yang's thoughts and teased him, "That's your sister Jinxian, you know? She's 8 years older than you."

At this time, Qiu Yang defended Xia Jinxian very much and said, "That's Xiaoxian. She is still young. Once she walks through our school, others are still a freshman."

Xia Jinxian smiled and said nothing.

Tan Qing shook his head and said: Those who are favored have nothing to fear. This refers to the realm of calling a deer a horse.

How can Xiaoxian accept you if she is happy?

Innocent.

Although Tan Qing sneered in his heart, looking at his little sister's silly look, he knew that feelings were so unreasonable.

After Qiu Yang arrived, Xia Jinxian was pestered by Qiu Yang every night, and the meeting with Ling Tanqing was put on hold.

On the weekend, Xia Jinxian took advantage of Secretary-General Zhu's approval of vacation and went to Deqing to escape the summer heat.

Traveling is just for peace of mind.

After working for a long time, it is easy to become confused. There is still a long way to go in the future, and you don’t know where the end point is.

So I chose to escape from the world, stay away from the turmoil of the world, listen to the chirping of insects and birds in the mountains, read a book, and spend some time.

Qiu Yang was very nervous about this, thinking that he had made Xia Jinxian unhappy and asked Xia Jinxian to avoid him.

Although boys of this age look like adults, they are still sensitive and fragile on the inside.

When they parted ways, Xu Yanqing was only three or four years older than him.

At that time, she was only about the same age as Qiu Yang.

In a blink of an eye, time flies by.

After coming back, I took on another research job, which was related to the topic that Lu Mingwei chose this year, which was to see the chip industry in Hefei.

Before leaving, Qiu Yang asked sadly, "Can't it be next week? I have a mid-term project report this week, and I can go with you next week."

Xia Jinxian said, "That's not just right, you focus on the mid-term, I'm going to do research. I'm going to work, not for fun."

Qiu Yang said, "You didn't take me with you when you went to Deqing last week."

Tan Qing interjected, "I know how unpopular I am. Right?"

Qiu Yang was so angry that the veins on his forehead popped out.

On the day Xia Jinxian came back from her research, Ling Tanqing went to pick her up. Ling Tanqing made several appointments with her but failed to make them, but this time he sincerely wanted to see her.

Xia Jinxian walked out of the train station and was a little dazed when she saw the little boy standing in the crowd waving to her.

She always felt that these long separations were probably a dream.

It seemed that Xu Yanqing had never left. If they were not separated, the child would be as old as a little one.

She stood in the crowd at the train station, inexplicably lost in thought.

Ling Tanqing came over to help her carry her luggage and asked her if she wanted to go directly to the restaurant. Xia Jinxian looked at him blankly for a long time before she heard what he was saying.

The little one is considered the most well-behaved child Xia Jinxian has ever met.

This family-friendly restaurant is large and has many areas for children to play.

The little one was still a child. When he entered the restaurant, he was so happy that he clapped his hands.

The little one had fun, but she also knew to wash her hands before eating. When the meal was served, she washed her hands, sat in the baby chair obediently, and ate cleanly with her practice chopsticks and spoon.

Xia Jinxian watched silently, feeling very sorry for such a child.

All sensible children are born because no one loves them.

Only children who are spoiled will be willful and arrogant.

Xia Jinxian was always soft-hearted, so she asked the little one, "Do you like to come out and play?"

The little one blinked his big eyes, looked at the children playing in the game area, and nodded.

Seeing that she was almost finished eating, Xia Jinxian asked Ling Tanqing if she wanted to go over and play with the little one for a while.

The little one looked at her father expectantly, but Ling Tanqing said, "I have to reply to an email right now." The

little one's disappointment was palpable, so Xia Jinxian put down the phone, picked up the little one - quite heavy, and then asked, "Auntie, come with me ." Can you play for a while?"

The little boy clapped his hands, but his eyes were still peeking at his father.

Where is the child who doesn’t love his parents?

Xia Jinxian said to Ling Tanqing, "Why don't you play with her for half an hour? Work isn't so urgent, right?"

These words touched the little one's heart, and she looked at her father expectantly.

Only then did Ling Tanqing understand what Xia Jinxian meant, so she put down the work at hand and accompanied the little one to the game area to play house and trampoline.

Xia Jinxian followed, asking questions about Ling Tanqing and his ex-wife from time to time.

After her mother passed away, she gained a new understanding of family ties.

As long as a person lives, he will never know which one will come first, accident or tomorrow, so cherish the present moment, otherwise, if you miss it, you will regret it for the rest of your life.

When her mother was seriously ill, she helped her cook every day when she came home.

One day, when mother and daughter were sitting around the dining table having dinner, her mother said, "Xiaoxian, I'm going out in a few days." She was very worried about her mother's health, so she

asked, "Do you need me to accompany you?"

But he said, "Forget it, I'll go by myself, just for one day."

That day, mother and daughter were sitting on the sofa watching TV. Her mother hugged her and said, "Baby, mommy really loves you. You are mommy's baby."

In fact, she had a premonition at the time, but on Friday When she came home from get off work and saw the suicide note her mother left on the table, she suddenly fell to the floor and couldn't believe that she was a child without a mother.

Later, the Public Security Bureau called and said that her mother's body with her ID card was found in the Suzhou River, and it was initially determined to be a suicide.

The police watched the surveillance and told her that her mother went to several places before jumping into the river. Later, she learned from the diary that those were the places where her mother had many good memories with Wu Tingtao.

And, the hospital where she was born.

She knew that her mother left because she loved her and could not bear her pain.

In the end, only she and her aunt's family attended her mother's funeral. Her father was so cold that he seemed to have disappeared from the world after learning about her mother's death.

She thought that luckily she and her mother reconciled in the end, but she regretted even more that she had listened to so many of her father's arrangements about her mother when she was a child, thinking that her mother was indifferent to her and that her mother did not love her.

The time she had missed with her mother could never be recovered. She thought that she was really stupid and allowed her father's lies to deceive her.

When she went home holding her mother's urn, she was Huang Meitian. She held her mother's urn and said, "Mom, we are going home."

However, she will no longer have a mother.

Thinking of this, Xia Jinxian's eyes turned red, she sniffed and asked Ling Tanqing in a low voice, "Do you still let your ex-wife see the little one every month?"

Ling Tanqing had some misunderstandings, thinking that Xia Jinxian cared, and explained, "She doesn't want the little one to affect her. She has a new life, so she never came to see her. I broke up with her completely."

After Xia Jinxian heard this, she didn't understand the hidden meaning of Ling Tanqing's words. Instead, she felt extremely sorry for the little one.

At least, her mother loved her, but the little one's mother obviously felt that the little one was a burden.

Unloved children are pitiful.

She asked, "Did she have a better life?"

Ling Tanqing said with a lonely smile, "She and I were classmates in college. After graduation, I worked for a while and then went to graduate school, while she worked in a bank. At that time, there were performance indicators, and I couldn't help her. Later, she met a boss and started a private equity fund. Well, how should I put it, helping the boss manage finances, so naturally she didn't like it. "Me."

Xia Jinxian can understand that after seeing a different world, it will be difficult to live in peace with herself.

Desires will never be satisfied and can only be restrained by oneself, otherwise there will be endless dissatisfaction with reality.

She smiled and said, "But you are also very good now."

Ling Tanqing shrugged and said, "She told me at the time that she had seen how others could cover the sky with one hand, and she thought I was useless. Maybe, if I had been Wu at that time With a teacher's status, how could she leave me? "

Everyone's life is different, and everyone's ideas are different. Xia Jinxian can't force others, she can only be herself.

Although she felt that Ling Tanqing's ex-wife was snobbish and irresponsible, she would not say it out loud. She only said, "You should pay more attention to the little one when you have time. The child is innocent."

Ling Tanqing nodded and said, "I know."

The little one Seeing her father talking to Aunt Xia, she ran over and took the two people's hands and said to them, "Would you like to play the little doctor game with me?"

Ling Tanqing looked at Xia Jinxian, and Xia Jinxian squatted down, looked at the little one and asked , "What should I do? Patient or nurse?"

The little boy pointed to the ground and said, "You are the patient who was hit by a car and fractured his bones."

Xia Jinxian was forced to lie down, dumbfounded.

Ling Tanqing was pulled over by the little one, pointed to Xia Jinxian's side and said, "Dad, lie down too, you have a tumor and need an operation."

After hearing this, Xia Jinxian covered her face and smiled, "Little one, you don't expect your father to do it either. Okay."

The little boy was still young and didn't understand the meaning of these diseases, so he said, "Then Dad ate something bad and had diarrhea, and Aunt Xiaoxia suffered from heat stroke."

This disease is acceptable, but the treatment method is a bit excessive. .

The little one said, "Daddy wants to cut open the belly, and Aunt Xiaoxia wants, wants, injections! Many, many injections, a hundred injections!"

Xia Jinxian: Please let me go...

This game made Ling Tanqing realize that the little one is now During the critical period of growth, long-term separation and leaving children with their parents are not conducive to the growth of children.

After a while, he will be sent to the branch here in Shanghai to be responsible for some of the daily operations of the firm and take on some cases, but he can take care of the children by himself.

When sending Xia Jinxian home, Ling Tanqing looked at the dimly lit room upstairs in Xia Jinxian's community and asked, "Do you still have a house for rent in your community? Is it possible for me to rent it? It's relatively close to my parents' house. It's also very close to the office. Xiaodian likes you very much. Is it possible that I can ask her to come and play with you more?"

Xia Jinxian sympathized with Xiaodian's background and agreed, "I'll help you go to the agency to check it out. I'll send it to you then."

Ling Tanqing held the little one's hand and faced Xia Jinxian.

The wind blows, bringing the fragrance of flowers.

Xia Jinxian looked at Ling Tanqing's appearance and understood.

However, she was already afraid of marriage.

As for love, I haven't seen it through yet.

It’s not that I don’t want to try, it’s just that I can’t help myself.

Ling Tanqing stretched out his hand and stroked her broken hair behind her ears. This gesture was really intimate.

Xia Jinxian smelled the breath on his hand, smiled and said, "It's very late, go back early."

Ling Tanqing stretched out his big hand, wanting to touch her flawless cheek, but finally took it back with restraint and coughed. She said, "Thank you today, good night."

Xia Jinxian opened her eyes wide, tilted her head and looked at the little one and said, "I didn't do anything, so what are you thanking me for? I'm very happy to play with the little one. If I have the chance, aunt will take you to Disneyland." "Okay?"

The little one didn't know where Disney was yet, but he was always happy when he heard that he could go out to play. He cheered, jumped up, and hugged Xia Jinxian's arm.

Xia Jinxian leaned down and kissed her on the cheek.

Ling Tanqing's eyes moved slightly, and there was only one word in her heart: envy.

Xia Jinxian helped Ling Tanqing find a rental house upstairs, and she moved very quickly.

Many houses in this community are for rent, and Xia Jinxian's is also rented.

Tan Xia didn't understand Xia Jinxian's deliberately low-key behavior.

She asked Xia Jinxian, "Sister Xiaoxian, you are obviously a landlord, why don't you live in the house you bought?"

Tan Qing took a bottle of makeup remover, knocked on the little girl's head and said, "Fool, don't give birth to a child." Isn't it the same as where you live?"

Xia Jinxian said, "I think it's good to live with you. It's lively."

Qiu Yang, who was modeling at the open desk in the living room, said, "It's superficial. "
