Happy Birthday
Chapter 587 Happy Birthday
I think Fanyin doesn't want to admit this now, probably because she blames me.
I understand that sending him to a psychiatric hospital is cruel, but I don't feel wronged.After so many years of entanglement, he and I have long been unable to tell who is more sorry for the other.
Therefore, in this case, it is better for him not to admit it positively.Anyway, our lives are over.
It's just that Niannian must be very happy, after all, this is the father who loves her, but I don't intend to tell her.
Today, when I went to the hospital, Shanshan was chatting with my father. If it wasn't for the company's important matters that bothered me, I would never have picked such a time to come.
After I came in to say hello, Shanshan made excuses and left.I asked my dad about business, and then I was about to leave.He asked, "Aren't you going to have lunch with Dad?"
Just now when Shanshan left, she said she would be back for lunch, so I said, "No, I have something else to do."
"A date with Jian Cong?" He asked with a smile.
I haven't thought of how to tell my father that Meng Jiancong and I have probably broken up, because his condition is unstable recently, and I'm afraid he will be angry.
But I didn't want to lie to him, so I didn't answer directly, just said: "Anyway, I'm going first, Dad."
He still looked at me kindly and said, "Jian Cong said that he made an appointment with you for dinner."
I explained: "I'm going back to the company at noon."
"Let's stay here to have dinner with Dad at noon." He smiled and said, "It's a birthday after all."
I said that I remembered that today is my birthday. Although I really wanted to refuse, but after thinking about it, I felt that I couldn't bear to disappoint his kindness, so I nodded: "Okay."
"Go and send someone to bring Yinyin and Niannian here." He said, "Especially Niannian, I haven't seen her for a long time."
"Niannian made an appointment to play at a classmate's house today." I said, "I'll be back in the afternoon."
He nodded and asked, "How long have you guys not spoken?"
"I said it this morning." Indeed, Nian Nian got up very early today and told me about it before I got in the car.I didn't think much of it at the time, and I didn't understand what she meant until now.
Why bother?I'm not coveting her birthday wishes.
He nodded and said, "Then let Yinyin come."
It was almost noon, so I called and sent someone to bring Yinyin over.
Soon Shanshan also came back. It seems that she had already discussed with my father and arranged a lot of dishes.Yinyin didn't remember that today was my birthday, she just thought it was my grandpa who asked her to have dinner together, and she couldn't be happier.
The atmosphere at the dinner table was still the same as every day, Yinyin was a little afraid of me, although I never criticized her.Shanshan and I had nothing to say, so the three of them chatted all the time. I was half full after eating, and I was worried that I had no excuse to leave when the phone rang.
I just took it out to look at the screen and found it was an unfamiliar number. Before I could answer it, Yin Yin said from the side, "Grandpa, Mom is leaving again."
I was taken aback for a moment, then stopped, and saw my father put on a straight face: "Turn off the phone."
I explained: "Maybe it's business."
"Shut it down," he said. "The company wouldn't go bankrupt without you."
I looked at Yinyin, she pouted and looked at me pitifully.
I put down the tableware, took a few sips of water, and thought about the phone call just now.Who is the one?I don't have a photographic memory, but I'm sure I've never seen that number.
My dad is still angry: "It's rare for you to spend time with your child, so don't think about business, don't think I don't know, how can there be so many things in the company?"
Shanshan persuaded him from the side: "Father, of course the company is not that much for you, but my sister has just taken over, so it's normal for her to be busy. Many people in the company praise her for her diligence."
"How did I hear that she is a workaholic, mean and cold-blooded." It seems that he said it was for my birthday today, but he is actually dissatisfied with me. "And she has a bad temper, and she has to smash something every day."
I said, "I'm sorry."
My father didn't speak, neither did Shanshan, only Yinyin whispered: "Grandpa..." She was a little nervous.
My father's tone softened because of this: "I understand that you are busy, but you have to spend more time with your children, and don't always keep a straight face, so that in a few years, no one will come back for birthdays."
I knew what he said was right, but I still couldn't help becoming irritable, looked up at him and said, "I never need anyone to accompany me on my birthday."
Yinyin shrank her neck, and my father frowned slightly.
"Sorry, Dad, I really have something to do." I stood up, looked at Yinyin and said, "Mom has something to do today, so I will accompany you another day."
Then without waiting for them to speak, he turned and left the ward.
When he was about to reach the elevator, he heard footsteps behind him.I turned around and saw that it was Shanshan. She was holding a box in her hand and said, "Dad originally planned to give it to you after dinner."
There was wrapping paper on the outside of the box, and I didn't know what it was. I hesitated for a moment, then took it and said, "Say thank you to him for me."
"What's wrong with my father?" She smiled, "I won't say it for you."
The elevator just arrived, and I said, "I'll go first, bye."
She didn't speak, and I stepped in.There was no one in the elevator, so I was about to press the door close button when Shanshan suddenly called out, "Lingyu!"
I had to stop the movement of my hands and looked up at her.
"Dad actually wants you to spend more time with him." She said, "He always talks about you."
"I see." I said, "Thank you."
"I used to think that your character was a bit awkward." She might think that I was not interested in oil and salt, and frowned: "Now it's even more awkward."
I didn't speak, and pressed the close button.
Am I awkward?
I am obviously doing well.
Nian Nian came back in the afternoon, but she didn't find that I was at home, so she went straight into her room when she came back.
I hesitated and hesitated, but in the end I still didn't call Meng Jiancong.We haven't been in touch for a long time, and we don't plan to have dinner together. I don't know why my dad would say that.
The strange number didn't call again, so I didn't call back. In fact, I don't call my mobile phone on business. I think it's just a wrong number.
At five o'clock in the afternoon, my cell phone rang again. It was Meng Jiancong.
I picked it up, and as soon as I said "Hello", he asked sharply, "Are you in a bad mood?"
"No." I asked knowingly, "What's the matter?"
"I can't contact you if I have nothing to do?" The gentle tone was as if the previous dispute had never happened.
I said, "I thought you were never going to contact me."
He didn't answer my words, just said: "I want to invite you to dinner tonight."
I said, "I have other dates."
"I specifically asked Mr. Su," he said, "he said you have no schedule tonight."
I became annoyed: "Why do you even ask him such a thing?"
"Your assistant refused to tell me." He said, "I used to be willing."
I asked, "Did you say something to my dad?"
He was silent for a while before he said, "Let's talk when we meet, okay?"
I agreed to Meng Jiancong. When I finished packing and went out, Niannian was at the gate. She saw me, but she was obviously pretending not to see me, and was running into the garden.
I called out: "Nian Nian."
She had to stop, turned her head to look at me, and called out reluctantly: "Mom."
"Did you have a good time today?" I tried not to keep my face straight, but the muscles on my face seemed to be stiff. In fact, I had forgotten how long I hadn't smiled.
"It's fine." She replied impatiently.
"Oh, what do you want to do tonight?"
"Do your homework."
"Isn't there no class today?"
"Anyway, homework." She said.
I nodded and asked, "Where are you going now?"
"Go to the backyard." She couldn't hold on any longer, she turned to look at my car, and asked, "Aren't you going out?"
"Yes." I said, "But I want to chat with you a few words. It seems like we haven't talked for a long time."
"I'm going to be late for the date." She insisted: "And I'm busy."
Now that it's all said and done, I have nothing to say: "Then you should be busy."
Even though I said that, I didn't move, and Nian Nian obviously stood up for a while before saying, "Then I'm leaving?"
"Go."
She turned around.
For some reason, I suddenly became impulsive and called her: "Nian Nian."
She stopped and turned around impatiently.She's looking down, but I can see her frowning, obviously out of patience.
I knew I would be disappointed, but I still said, "Today is Mom's birthday."
She acted as if she hadn't heard, with a look of impatience on her face.
"Don't want to wish mom a happy birthday?" I asked.
It took her a while to say: "Happy birthday." From the voice, to the expression, there was only perfunctory: "Are you ready?"
After a long time, I found my voice: "Thank you. You can go to work."
Niannian ran away, and I got into the car too.
It's February now, and it's almost the Spring Festival, and there are always lights and festoons on the road.
I feel a little lonely.
Meng Jiancong booked a nice French restaurant, and delicate cakes were placed in the center of the brocade-decorated tables.
He was already waiting at the door of the restaurant. I noticed that he was a little thinner, but he was smiling.
After being seated, the waiter began to serve the aperitif.Seeing me looking at the cake, he smiled and said, "I'm not very good at the craft, I will practice hard when I get back, and try to make it better next year."
I'm still thinking about my question: "What did you say to my dad?"
"He asked me why I haven't dated you recently, and I said it's because everyone is busy." He asked, "Then he asked me why I didn't ask you out today, and I said I was baking a cake, and if it baked well, I would ask you out. "
I asked, "Did he ask about marriage?"
"I have a question." He said, "I said I will give him the answer tomorrow."
I said, "I'll talk to him about it myself."
I still don't want him to know that I'm hooked up with Fanyin again.
"What are you going to say?" he asked.
"Since you said you would give him the answer tomorrow, let me think about it tonight." I said, "In short, you don't need to worry about it."
