put on a show

In the room, Guan Ju's mother and Xing Pei's aunt—Zou Heping, Ms. Zou, was being pulled by Xing Pei's grandmother and pushed her onto the massage chair.

"Heping, you work hard, pay attention to your body, this chair is always comfortable, Shang Rong sent it, sit on it and shake you."

Ms. Zou's serious face of a standard strong woman also showed a hint of helplessness at this time: "I'm not working hard, no need, Mom, I'm going to go out for dinner soon."

The Guan family has always been in the United States. Although Guan Ju developed in China, she actually grew up in the United States and holds American citizenship.Xing's mother took Xing Pei out, and Xing's father was too busy. From buying real estate to applying for schools, the Guan family helped arrange everything inside and out.

Xing's mother was not in good health, and Zou Heping was afraid that his maid would be unreliable, so he came to see the couple every now and then, taking care of them in almost all aspects of food, clothing, housing and transportation.Only when she came to talk to his mother, Xing Pei would see his mother's tense expression relax for a while.

Among women, Zou Heping is tall and tall, and she often has a straight face. Xing Pei was afraid of her when she was a child.But soon he found that only Aunt Zou could persuade his mother to let him rest for a while, and only she could take him out to shopping malls and amusement parks.When Guan Ju was a child, she was always jealous because her mother was too kind to Xing Pei. She was four years older than Xing Pei, and the two younger children often fought a lot.

Later, Xing's mother passed away, and she also took care of the funeral.Xing Pei was quite old at that time, but she still insisted on taking Xing Pei into her family to take care of her.Seeing Xing Pei's grandfather and grandmother losing their daughter in old age, in order to comfort the two old people, she worshiped the old couple as godfather and godmother. When calling someone, she simply omitted the word "dry" and called her parents directly.In her words, Xing Pei's mother is her best sister and friend, and the closest person she grew up with. Her children are her own children, and her parents are also her parents.

Xing Pei thought about it later, if it wasn't for his Aunt Zou, he would not have been able to finish college. He later decided to become an idol, and all his family members opposed it, and only Aunt Zou supported his choice.

He stepped forward and hugged the old lady's shoulder from behind.Shouted affectionately: "Grandma, what are you doing?"

"Xiao Pei is here, come, come and sit in this massage chair, your father sent it to us."

"Okay, let me try." Said Xing Pei sat up, the old lady turned on the switch.

Sitting on it, Xing Pei twisted his eyebrows tremblingly, but showed a cute look: "Auntie, it's really comfortable, why don't you try it?"

It's getting late, and everyone in the house is scrambling to go out for the New Year's Eve dinner.

Zou Heping asked Xing Pei: "Why did you come so late? And you have dark circles under your eyes, didn't you sleep last night?"

"I was playing games last night." Xing Pei lowered his eyes, a little guilty, "I forgot to pick you up."

Zou Heping patted the top of Xing Pei's head: "Your grandmother just sued me, saying that you don't want to see her."

"I'm busy."

"How busy is it? The old man only has so much to think about. If you have time, let's take a look."

Xing Pei raised his eyebrows and raised his eyes: "I want to see more, but every time grandpa and grandma see me, they think of my mother, and they will be sad for several days."

Hearing what he said, Zou Heping also sighed heavily. Losing his only daughter in his later years was no worse blow than Xing Pei losing his mother.

"What about your father, your grandmother even sued me, saying that you didn't go home either."

Xing Pei muttered: "I have my own home, why go back to his place."

"Your father is only your son. He used to be less busy with his career, and he still cared about you very much. Between father and son, you just need to open up and talk more. No matter what resentment or hatred, they are all a family, and there is nothing that cannot be eliminated. of……"

Xing Pei drooped his head and didn't speak, only Aunt Zou was nagging, he wouldn't talk back, if someone else picked on the thorn in his heart, I'm afraid he would have gotten angry and scolded him long ago.

As night fell, a large family drove to the hotel they had booked.

The New Year's Eve dinner was arranged by Xing Shangrong, and Guan Ju was also in front of her to help Uncle Xing arrange a car pick-up. Xing Pei put his arms around his grandmother's shoulders in the back and his Aunt Zou in the other.He can still have a New Year's Eve dinner with his father, after all, it's because of these two people.Especially his Aunt Zou, who brings a large family back every Spring Festival to accompany his grandparents to celebrate the New Year. Even if his mother is alive, this is the only thing his biological daughter can do.

As soon as she got in the car, the old lady started rambling about her daughter again, and started sniffling while talking.As soon as Xing Pei heard this topic, he became bored. Fortunately, he had Aunt Zou by his side to comfort the old lady with a clumsy tongue.

"Mom, Mu Yun is looking at us from the sky, if you are sad, she must be sad too."

The old lady wiped her eyes: "It's not sad, I'm at this age, and I'll be reunited with her soon."

Zou Heping shook the old lady's hand: "Well, one day we will all go there to reunite with her."

Hearing this kind of topic, Xing Pei panicked and turned his head out of the car window.The street trees on both sides of the street were filled with colorful lights and lanterns, and the noisy sound spread from some restaurants and restaurants that were not closed to the street. On the day of family reunion, only he felt empty in his heart.He took out his phone to check again, but Pei Qing still hadn't contacted him.

The restaurant is full of families having a New Year's Eve dinner, it is overcrowded, and there are no empty seats, and the commotion outside can be heard even when the door is closed in the private room.Xing Pei just came in and smelled the aroma of vegetables, only to remember that since He Xiaobao left, he didn't eat seriously, he was really hungry.However, when he sat on the table and the delicious delicacies were served, he lost his appetite after taking two bites.

After a noisy meal, he was about to drive back to his villa in Beishan, but Zou Heping stopped him: "Come home with us tonight, Auntie has something to talk to you about."

Xing Pei showed embarrassment: "I don't want to go back, or you and your uncle will live with me for a few days. My house is big and there are no outsiders."

"I'm going to take your grandparents to see your mother tomorrow morning, you are too far away." Zou Heping supported Xing Pei's shoulder and pushed, "What's wrong with living at home, still missing arms and legs? "

Xing Pei couldn't hold back Zou Heping, and didn't bother to argue with her.

Xing Shangrong was a little surprised to see him follow him home, but he didn't say anything.

Back in the house where he lived when he was a child, the three elders sat together and talked about the economy and the international situation.Xing Pei listened boredly, staring at the noisy Spring Festival Gala on TV, while Guan Ju dozed off beside him.

The phone was vibrating all the time, Xing Pei took out the phone and looked at it again, He Xiaobao, Li Mo, and some people he didn't know all sent him New Year's greetings, he roughly flipped through it, but still no Pei Qing returned it.

Guan Ju couldn't bear to go to bed, so Xing Pei went upstairs with her and returned to his room.After he returned to China, he went home several times, but this was the first time he lived in this room again after so many years of absence.

The decoration of the room is still the same as it was more than ten years ago, the color of the sea, and the walls are painted with leaping dolphins and seagulls.The two little dolphins in the corner with beards and glasses painted by Xing Pei when he was a child are still there, and he still remembers being punished by his mother to stand.Xing Pei turned around in the room and turned to the bed, which was still the children's bed.Xing Pei snorted, considering how often that person came home, he probably completely forgot the existence of this room.

Xing Pei lay on the small bed for a while, and Zou Heping really came to chat with him.Zou Heping works in the old school, but his vision is still very avant-garde. He talked with Xing Pei about his career development and planning from the perspective of the market and consumer psychology.In the end, the topic turned to Xing Pei and his father.

"Don't be so angry with your father. How many years have passed, and it hasn't passed yet?"

Xing Pei sat cross-legged on the bed, hugged a pillow, lowered his head and poked his chin into the down pillow: "I can't make it through. He doesn't care about me and my mother at all. What's the matter?"

"He's just a son like you, how could he not care?"

"What about my mother?"

Zou Heping put his hand on Xing Pei's shoulder: "The relationship between adults is very complicated, and many things may not be as you see them."

She looked around the room, which was obviously a little boy's room: "Your father must care about you very much. You see, he has kept your room as it is."

"He doesn't have time to take care of the room."

"If you think about your father, it's still too late to marry another woman and have a child. He has been alone for so many years. Do you think he doesn't care about you and your mother?"

"His time and energy are all devoted to his career. There is no time for a person like him to remarry."

Zou Heping was choked by Xing Pei's few words and didn't know how to answer for a moment. He was silent for a moment, and his tone was also very uncomfortable: "Your mother doesn't want to see you father and son like this."

Xing Pei stopped talking.

After Zou Heping left, Xing Pei lay on the bed staring at the ceiling.It's really like what his aunt Zou said, his father actually cares about him and his mother, just because of some reasons.

What reason could there be that he didn't even take a look at his wife's death?The reason for the fuck is either that you don't care, or that you are cold-blooded and selfish, what else can make this person's heart so hard.

Xing Pei was tossing and thinking about Zou Heping's words on this small bed, when Xing Shangrong opened the door and came in.

"Xing Pei, are you asleep?"

Xing Pei sat up from the bed: "Don't you know to knock on the door first?"

Xing Shangrong didn't care about Xing Pei's accusation, and walked over directly: "Let's talk."

"We have nothing to talk about."

Xing Shangrong looked at Xing Pei sternly, "How long are you going to degenerate?"

Xing Pei frowned: "When did I degenerate?" He was just a little depressed because of the recent quarrel with Pei Qing, and he was far from degenerate, and he didn't think his father was talking about this matter.

"Besides, it's none of your business whether I fall or not."

Xing Shangrong also raised his brows: "Your surname is Xing, you are my son, you are in the entertainment circle having dinner with this boss today and drinking with that boss tomorrow, where do you want me to put my face?"

Xing Pei's face collapsed, and Xing Shangrong continued: "Don't think I don't know what you are doing. The star's bowl of rice is to put it bluntly, selling face and meat. I spent money and effort to train you, not to let you spoil yourself like this of."
