After hearing what Ren Yumeng said, Leng Hui lowered her eyelids and remained silent. Her attitude was equivalent to tacitly agreeing with what Ren Yumeng said, which made Ren Yumeng even more sad. She covered her face and sobbed softly, her shoulders shaking. Leng Hui looked at her distressed and reached out to touch her daughter's shoulder, but Ren Yumeng turned away. Seeing her crying so sadly, Gu Xiaofan squatted down and carefully put the tissue into Ren Yumeng's palm, but Ren Yumeng threw the tissue on the ground without any appreciation.
Zhong Han sat aside and watched all this motionlessly, without any expression.
After a while, Ren Yumeng's emotions finally stabilized again. She wiped the tears on her face with her sleeves, looked at the tissue at her feet, and then looked at Gu Xiaofan standing beside her, pursed her lips slightly, and said nothing."So the reason you hate your father is because he wants a son who can carry on the family line and inherit the family business?" Zhong Han waited for her to calm down and continued to ask.Ren Yumeng wiped her eyes, and her brows, which had just relaxed a little, wrinkled again: "If he just favors boys over girls and wants my mother to give him another son, I have no complaints. What I can't tolerate most is that he has so many women outside.""Yumeng, your father is already like this, don't talk nonsense and ruin his reputation." Leng Hui's face sank slightly, and her tone of voice was still as calm as before, but there was a little more warning meaning in the plain tone that was not easy to be noticed.Ren Yumeng didn't care about her mother's innocuous warning at all. She glared and said, "When did I say anything nonsense! Mom, how cowardly are you going to be? Have you ever fought for your own reasonable and legal rights in your life? Now it's like this, and you still close your eyes and speak for him and whitewash him. I really despise you like this!"Leng Hui's face froze, and she lowered her head and stopped talking."You know your father has other women outside? How did you know? To what extent do you know?" Gu Xiaofan was in a very complicated mood when asking Ren Yumeng. In her opinion, it is very cruel for children to find out about their parents' extramarital affairs, and it will also leave people with deep emotional trauma."I have secretly looked at his mobile phone many times." Ren Yumeng said expressionlessly, as if she was narrating something that had nothing to do with her. "Since I got a little older, he usually doesn't spend much time at home. He and my mother often don't say a few words all day long. Many times my mother talked to him for a long time, and he didn't even respond at all, as if my mother was a mental patient who talked to herself! How old was I at that time? Only thirteen or fourteen years old. I think my father is really a very unromantic person. Unlike those men in TV dramas, he never said sweet words to my mother. They are obviously only in their thirties, but their lives are like those of an old man and an old woman, so I always thought my dad was such a dull person, such a dull and uninteresting person. Unexpectedly, one time, when I was about 15 or 16 years old, I was bored at night, and I secretly took my dad's mobile phone to play the addictive Snake game. As a result... I saw a lot of text messages, all sent between him and a woman. From that moment on, I realized that my dad was not dull at all. He would also say those cheesy love words. As long as the other party was a woman and not my mother, he could say sweet words like a romantic and amorous man. ""Do you know who that woman is? How long did your father maintain his relationship with her? Who else have you told about this matter?" Gu Xiaofan asked impatiently."Who should I tell? Am I not ashamed enough?" Ren Yumeng laughed self-deprecatingly, "I don't know who that woman is. She is not an important person to my father. After I found out for the first time, I secretly paid attention to her many times. After observing for a while, I found out that my father is actually very promiscuous outside and often has ambiguous relationships with different women.""Then you didn't tell your mother about this?" Zhong Han asked slowly, his eyes kept looking at Leng Hui, who was slightly dull but silent.Ren Yumeng shook her head."But why? Since you found out, why didn't you think of letting your mother know?" Gu Xiaofan was a little puzzled. She thought about it. If she found out that her father had an affair with other women outside, she would probably tell her mother in a panic at the first time, hoping that her mother could work with her to find a way to save her father who had lost his way."I don't dare," Ren Yumeng replied, "I'm afraid. I'm afraid that if I tell my mother about this, she will ask my father for the truth. Once the window paper is completely broken, my father will simply go all out and divorce me and my mother. In that case, I will no longer have a home."When she said this, tears burst out again and flowed down her cheeks.Gu Xiaofan felt particularly uncomfortable when she heard her say that. She was a little older than Ren Yumeng, and after all, they could still be regarded as peers. As a woman, she could fully imagine the worries that Ren Yumeng mentioned. She would rather continue to pretend to be deaf and dumb to maintain a false calm, but she was also afraid that once the calm was broken, the next step would be an unstoppable rupture. So the teenage girl would rather be alone to keep the secret that her father was not strict enough outside, and was even enough to be called a romantic, just to have a complete family. Unfortunately, she endured this blow and sadness alone, but in the end, she still could not stop the result of the breakdown of her parents' marriage."You must be very sad..." She guessed Ren Yumeng's situation and feelings at the time, and she blurted out subconsciously without thinking too much. She stopped talking halfway and looked at Ren Yumeng with a little worry, fearing that her sympathy would once again anger this girl who was deeply scarred."I have nothing to be sad about," Ren Yumeng sniffed, her eyes red, "I just saw the other side of men earlier than other women. All men are the same. It's not that they don't have romantic ideas, but some are too poor and too low-status, so they don't have the capital for the time being. They can only pretend to be affectionate and loyal temporarily, and deceive a silly woman who is within their ability and can be pursued to live with him. When his life is comfortable, his wallet is fatter, and he has become famous, his romantic nature can't be controlled.""Have you solved your personal problems?" Zhong Han suddenly asked a very personal question.Ren Yumeng seemed to have heard a joke, curled her lips, and sneered sarcastically: "I'm not mentally ill, why should I bury my whole life in the hands of a quasi-romantic ghost."Zhong Han did not respond to Ren Yumeng's answer, but just looked at Leng Hui sitting next to Ren Yumeng silently. Leng Hui just sat there expressionlessly, without saying a word or moving, like a lifeless puppet."Ms. Leng," Zhong Han looked at Leng Hui for a while and decided to actively call her attention. "Did you know what your daughter said before? Did Ren Xuefeng have another woman outside? Did you know about this before the divorce?"Leng Hui heard Zhong Han calling her and came back to her senses. She looked at Zhong Han in a daze. It seemed that she hesitated for a while before she understood what Zhong Han asked her. Then she shook her head slowly and said calmly: "I don't know much. Before, the child's father did business outside. Whether it was talking about business or eating and drinking, he didn't tell me when he came back, and I didn't ask. When men do things outside, women shouldn't restrict too much.""Then do you know Xu Ruobei, the wife who remarried your husband Ren Xuefeng?"Leng Hui nodded gently."What do you think of Xu Ruobei?""I don't have much impression of her. I just met her once when I went to find Xuefeng for something before. She was with him some time after my divorce from Xuefeng. We didn't have much contact." Leng Hui said.
