The night of New Year's Eve was destined to be a sleepless night. Firecrackers and fireworks were constantly set off outside. The crackling sound was deafening and dazzling. The colorful fireworks made the sky in b city look especially dazzling.
In a year, only this time of the year was able to set off firecrackers and fireworks. The common people probably wished they could move all the fireworks and firecrackers in the shop back home and set off enough at once.
Xi Wan and her mother stayed up for the New Year. Watching the lively singing and dancing on the television, her home seemed to be particularly deserted.
This was the first time that she had not spent the New Year with Lin Xi.
She did not know what she was feeling.
She was already numb after the most painful period.
Just after midnight, Xi Wan's mother took out a huge red packet and solemnly handed it to Xi Wan. "Wish our Wan Wan a happy new year and a happy new year. "
Xi Wan was stunned. This was the first time she had received such a red packet since she was an adult. Her eyes were a little teary. "thank you, mom, but I'm an adult now. "
Jiang smiled and patted XI WAN's hand. "Even if you're 70 or 80 years old, you're still mom's child. "
Xi Wan nodded. "I've prepared a red packet for mom too. " As she spoke, she ran back to her room and took out the big red packet on the table. "Happy New Year, mom. "
Xi Wan's mother took it and put it in Xi Wan's hand. "Mom is rich now. Keep what you earn. After all, you still have to get married and have children in the future. "
Xi Wan was still immersed in the family love that she had not enjoyed for a long time. In the blink of an eye, the topic drifted to "get married and have children. " She was embarrassed and stuffed the red packet back into her mother's hand "I have money, and this is my gift to you. It has nothing to do with me getting married and having children. Just take it. I'm going to h shop to film soon. You have to take care of yourself. "
Mother Jiang Patted Xi Wan's back and said with a slightly choked voice, "MMM. "
"Our Wan Wan has always been so considerate and sensible. It's my fault for not taking good care of you. I'm sorry for making you bear the pressure of life at such a young age. "
Xi Wan was silent. She only hugged this woman who had been worn down by the years.
Her daughter had actually passed away a long time ago. The one who replaced her now was her, Jiang Xiwan. It was just that she would never be able to tell this secret.
"Zizi"
Xi Wan's phone vibrated.
She took a look.
There were only four words on it, "cold and aloof boss. "
She was a little flustered.
She was helpless.
"Wan Wan, why aren't you picking up the phone? "
"Oh, right away. " Xi Wan took the phone and stood up. Under her mother's Gaze, she returned to her room. When she was about to pick up, the phone on the other side had already hung up. Perhaps she had not picked up for too long, so the system automatically cut off the call.
Xi Wan was a little relieved, but she was still a little disappointed.
She admitted that in this game between men and women, she had indeed been moved by him. She could clearly feel the palpitations that were different from the past. This strange feeling made her afraid.
She could not face it.
She was also afraid that she would be abandoned again.
Rather than being tortured in the future, it was better to end it as soon as possible.
Moreover, she was afraid that the dark world hidden in her heart would taint his clean, pure love.
As Li Yan said, she is not worthy of him.
The man as clean as the moon.
Xi Wan put down the phone, looking at the above missed calls, silently send blessings: happy new year, Li Zhan.
Lights out, sleep tight.
--
At that time, in her house downstairs, a Mercedes, ignition start, gradually disappeared in the darkness of the night.
--
Just after the New Year, the weather is getting warmer.
Golden Sunlight, slanting from the curtain gap to the bed, a bright and beautiful room. All the small things in the room seemed to be gilded with gold, which warmed the heart and spleen.
Xi Wan stretched herself and looked at the time. She got up at 8:30 in the morning.
Today, she was going back to h shop to shoot a movie. The 1:00 noon flight was enough for her to prepare. Finally, she didn't have to do nothing. Perhaps work was the best company for her.
Jiang's mother cooked a big Wonton with shrimp filling. It was delicious, but Xi Wan ate a bowl without knowing the taste and then went back to her room.
She was used to living alone at home. Sometimes, a cup of coffee, a book, A computer, or a cell phone could let her spend the whole day quietly.
"Wan Wan, aren't you going out for a walk? " Jiang fell in love with taking a walk after dinner.
"No, mom. "
"You child. " Xi Wan stayed at home every day. She only thought that Xi Wan didn't walk on the streets like an ordinary person because of her identity.
Thinking of this, Jiang felt a little sad.
It was she who made Xi Wan bear the burden of her family's livelihood. In the end, she was still useless. Thinking of this, she lost the heart to take a walk.
When Xi Wan was packing, Jiang knocked on the door and held a lot of delicious snacks in her hands. They were all made by Jiang herself, such as seaweed and peanuts, dried shrimp, dried purple potatoes, and so on.
Xi Wan had no choice but to take care of these snacks under the strong motherly love. When she was almost done packing, Xi Wan wanted to call He Min, but she received a call from Gu ye.
"Wan Wan, today's flight, right? "
"Ah, director Gu. "
Gu Ye: " ... " she called him director Gu again, annoyed. "Me too, I'm at home now. Shall we go to the airport together? "
Xi Wan's mother stood at the side and naturally heard everything clearly. She kept nodding at Xi Wan.
"Oh. "
After hanging up the phone, Xi Wan's mother said, "talking to boys is too cold. Even if you don't plan to date them, you shouldn't be so distant. Besides, they are kind enough to send you off. "
"mother, how is he kind enough? " Xi Wan was speechless. "It's clearly Sima Zhao's intentions that everyone knows. " Ever since Xi Wan's mother brought up this topic last time, it was too late for Xi Wan to avoid Gu ye.
Xi Wan's Mother didn't say anything. "You. " Just as she was about to say something, Xi Wan's phone rang again.
"Xi Wan, I'm coming to pick you up. " It was Zheng Nuo's voice.
"You can go straight to the airport. I might go with Gu ye. "
"Gu ye? " Zheng Nuo didn't understand.
"Yeah, you can tell he min too. "
"... okay."
Jiang said, "another boy? "
"My manager. " Xi Wan put down the phone in her hand and had to explain again. "Mom, if I find a boyfriend, he'll definitely be better than them. Please trust your daughter's taste, okay? "
"okay, " Jiang replied sadly.
"..."
When Xi Wan got into Gu Ye's car, Xi Wan heaved a sigh of relief. Her mother's desire to find a boyfriend was too strong.
Gu Ye naturally saw Xi Wan's expression and felt inexplicably relieved.
"What's wrong? "
"Oh, nothing. "
"I feel that ever since your company's annual meeting, you have been absent-minded. What happened? "
