first love

I thought it was just a chance reunion, Wen Lan didn't intend to contact the other party, nor did I hope that the woman with wrinkles at the end of her eyes would think of him.At this time, he was feeling exhausted from being unable to sleep for several consecutive nights. The influence of the so-called mother was greater than imagined, and he needed to deal with negative emotions.

However, what Ling Wenlan didn't expect was that a week later, he received a call from the number he had dialed.

"...Hello?" Wen Lan could feel his hands trembling, and he could hardly hold the phone.

The other party's attitude was much more gentle than before, and there was even a bit of deliberate flattery in his tone: "Is it Ah Lan? I, I am mother——"

Wen Lan took a deep breath, moved the phone away, and unconsciously chewed the word "Mom" spoken there.From his teens to the present, he couldn't remember exactly how many years, the kind of powerlessness and coldness that almost suffocated him, was still slowly climbing up from the bottom of his heart until now.

Noticing that something was wrong with him, Xie Nanqun frowned immediately, walked over to hug him, and asked with his mouth, "Who is it?"

Being pulled into a warm embrace, Wen Lan slowly came back to his senses, turned his head, his voice trembling: "Oh, it's Liu Jinglan." He didn't want to use "Mom" or "Mother" to address her, so he called her directly. The name is cold.

Before, Xie Nanqun asked people to search for some information about her, including that her husband after remarriage seemed to be having a hot fight with a young woman, and that girl was indeed her stepdaughter, named Chu Mei, and she did not have a good relationship with her.He closed his eyes and tightened his arms even more, as if he wanted to give Wen Lan a sense of reassurance through such contact: "What does she want?"

"She knows who I am." The other party lowered her eyes, her expression couldn't tell whether it was sad or calm, "She wants to see me, on Thursday night, at Huiya Western Restaurant." This restaurant is near Huada, In the middle price, the guests are mainly Huada students.From this point of view, Liu Jinglan probably came here, or asked about his recent situation from some people?

"Are you going?" Xie Nanqun asked in a low voice.

Wen Lan nodded: "I always want to sit down and talk with her." Then he squeezed Xie Nanqun's hand on his knee, "Brother Qun, you can go with me."

"it is good."

That night, the two arrived at the entrance of the western restaurant together.Wen Lan has been here a few times, but maybe because of the different people who have dinner with him, he will feel very relaxed when he is with Xie Nanqun; and when he thinks of seeing Liu Jinglan tonight, besides being irritable, he even recalls Some long-term, unpleasant things.

In fact, Wen Lan doesn't like western restaurants very much. When he was a child, he was taken by his parents to go there once, and only once.At that time, he was still young, and because of his introverted personality, he seldom dined outside, so he was very clumsy holding the spoon for children, and he didn't know what to do.Liu Jinglan seemed to dislike his appearance very much. The corner of her mouth drooped because of her husband's joy of winning a bonus, "Alan! Eat well, don't be timid!"

Frightened by this, Wen Lan accidentally knocked over the plate, and most of the remaining noodles fell directly on his lap.But Liu Jinglan not only didn't care about whether he was burned, but scolded him even more fiercely, and even her husband who was silent was also scolded by her.

Wen Lan had long forgotten the taste of the food he ate at that time. He only remembered that when they got home at the end, his leg was already red, but luckily it wasn't badly hurt.His father took him for a douche and dressing, but there was no explanation for his mother's behavior, or, as a father, he didn't feel the need for an explanation.

From that time on, Wen Lan became more and more resistant to getting too close to his parents, and preferred to stay alone in the room.

"If anything happens, call me immediately." Seeing that he was restless, Xie Nanqun hurriedly said.

Wen Lan came back to his senses and had already walked to the private room. The next door was booked by Xie Nanqun to be with him. "Well, I'm going in." He smiled, but there was a bit of uneasiness and bitterness in his smile.

In the private room, Liu Jinglan didn't wear makeup on purpose, showing a haggard face. When Wen Lan came in, she showed a look of joy but didn't dare to go forward. She pressed the corners of her eyes with a tissue: "Come on, sit down."

"Did you come here for something?" Wen Lan's tone was very cold.

Liu Jinglan pursed her lips, seeming to be even more sad: "I just want to see you...Mom has actually missed you all these years, but I dare not—"

Wen Lan clenched his fist unconsciously, his nails sank into his palm, leaving deep marks.But he didn't feel any pain, instead he replied calmly: "Sorry, if I remember correctly, Ms. Liu already has a new family, right? Since I haven't contacted me for so long, there's no need for it in the future."

"This, how can this be done!" Liu Jinglan caught the sound of "Ms. Liu", and was anxious, trying to hold Wen Lan's hand, but he dodged it.

"If you have nothing else, I'm leaving first." Wen Lan made a gesture to get up, obviously not wanting to chat with her any longer.

Realizing that things were not as smooth as expected, Liu Jinglan almost gritted her teeth, and then eased her tone: "Oh, it's not Meimei... Her father would definitely beat her to death if she knew she was pregnant, but she is so stupid. I want to keep the child. Now her father is taking all the money from the family to raise the vixen outside. I really have no choice but to come to you..."

Wen Lan was taken aback: "Ha, you came to ask me for money?"

Liu Jinglan looked sad: "Meimei is still lying in the hospital, you can't, you can't leave her alone! You can't leave her child alone!" Although she didn't force her to find out who the real father of the child was, but inside and outside the words, everything It is hinting that Wen Lan is having an affair with her stepdaughter.She is very short of money, and this biological son whom she hasn't seen for a long time wears high-end goods, so how about helping her a little bit?If she didn't think that tall boy was difficult to handle, she would not have focused on Wen Lan.

"When the child is born, we will become a family." Liu Jinglan tried to impress the other party with the so-called family affection.

"Ms. Liu." Wen Lan was really irritated at this moment, he never thought that the other party had such an idea.Want to force irrelevant women and children onto him? "I'm going to disappoint you. I have nothing to do with your stepdaughter, and it's impossible to pay for her or the child. If you want to find the father of the child, I suggest you find someone to investigate, so as not to wrong someone."

Seeing this, Liu Jinglan frowned.In her eyes, this son, like his father, has been a wimp since he was a child. He has never contradicted her, but who knows that he has become so stubborn now?Her face was a little gloomy, and her tone was threatening: "Don't regret it, I'm your mother, broken bones are still connected..."

"Heh." Wen Lan sneered, slamming the door and leaving.

He didn't go far, but went to the private room next door. Xie Nanqun greeted him with a worried face: "Is it okay?" Wen Lan didn't want the other party to know what happened just now, so he twitched the corners of his mouth and said, "It's okay, let's go back .”

"Well, let's go to another place for dinner." Xie Nanqun didn't ask too much.
