Shen Ning really fell in love with Cheng Mu more and more. She didn't expect that he would care about her and Qiu Yun so much.
God finally has the vision to allow Qiu Yun to meet a good friend who treats him sincerely.
Cheng Mu was good to his mother and himself, and Ling Qiuyun saw it all. He was really grateful, and he sincerely wanted to keep being friends with Cheng Mu, but this friendship was no match for his ambition.
His relationship with Cheng Mu was purposeful, and sometimes Ling Qiuyun would feel guilty, but there was no way around it. His life was full of calculations and interests, and sincerity had long since been consumed!
Cheng Mu knew that Ling Qiuyun had many things hidden in his heart, so he often chatted with him. At the same time, Cheng Mu would often visit Shen Ning, not only to treat Aunt Shen, but also to make Qiuyun believe in his sincerity.
He really wanted to make this friend.
Ling Qiuyun was stunned for a moment when he returned home and saw that Cheng Mu was there. During this period, Cheng Mu often appeared at home. Now, his mother is almost closer to him than to her biological son.
"I come here so often, are you going to annoy me?" Cheng Mu joked.
Ling Qiuyun smiled unnaturally, and before he could reply, his mother said first, "How could it be possible! Dr. Xiao Cheng, I am really happy for Qiuyun to have you as a friend, and you are so good to us. Qiuyun and I are looking forward to having you come to our house every day. Okay, let’s not talk about this anymore, the dishes are ready, Dr. Cheng, just stay for dinner and don’t be polite to us!"
When Cheng Mu saw that Shen Ning had specially prepared a sumptuous meal, he no longer refused, "Auntie, I have no intention of being polite to you. It seems that I am in good luck today."
Everyone sat down to eat together, but not long after, Shen Ning put down the bowls and chopsticks, and Cheng Mu hurriedly asked with concern: "What's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"
"Alas." Shen Ning sighed, "Today I met the housekeeper of the Liu family again. I don't know what sins I did in my previous life to make me suffer so much in this life! Doctor Cheng, you don't know that the people of the Liu family usually treat Qiuyun and I have gone too far."
Cheng Mu knew about the dispute between the Liu Ling family and his aunt felt aggrieved, so he also put down the bowl and chopsticks.
But Ling Qiuyun didn't think so. He glanced at Shen Ning, not wanting her to continue talking, but Shen Ning didn't notice her son's thoughts and kept complaining.
"I have lived too hard for so many years. At first, I just had to endure other people's gossip. It was okay. I could live with it if I endured it. But in recent years, everything has changed, and all of this is because of the Liu family. After they gained power, they targeted and oppressed us, mother and son. Although they dare not take any big action now because of General Li's affection, they will show off to us from time to time. It's a pity that I don't have any ability, so what can I do except suffer. Really, if it weren't for Qiu Yun, I wouldn't want to live! But fortunately Qiu Yun is filial and obedient, which is a comfort to me." Before he finished speaking, Shen Ning looked at his son with a pleading look on his face, "Qiuyun, you must be successful so that you can make a living for your mother."
"I have heard these words many times. I know what to do without you repeating them over and over again. Now can you please stop talking about these words? Brother Cheng is still here!" Ling Qiuyun said with emphasis.
Shen Ning was obviously a little frightened. This was the first time Qiu Yun said harsh words to him.
"Qiu Yun." Shen Ning choked up, and tears suddenly came to her eyes.
It was like this again, it would always be like this, but this time Ling Qiuyun didn't say much.
He has long been used to it, but with Cheng Mu here today, why does his mother have to talk endlessly.
Seeing this, Cheng Mu hurriedly advised: "Qiu Yun has no other intentions. Don't worry about it. He just thinks that there are guests at home and he should say something happy." After that, he looked at Qiu Yun deeply and said, "I We are one of our own, my aunt told me that it is okay to say these things, please don’t do it again.”
Ling Qiuyun realized that he had made his mother sad, but he really couldn't control it. Her behavior just now made him feel very humiliated.
Shen Ning lowered his head, looking aggrieved.
She had never been truly happy in front of him. Ling Qiuyun felt that the reason why her mother was like this was because she was dragged down by him.
As she said, if she didn't have herself, she wouldn't have to live so hard.
Yes, as soon as he was born, his mother was brutally abandoned. When he started to grow up, all he heard were her mother's endless complaints.
Sometimes, Ling Qiuyun really doesn't know whether his life has any meaning.
He naturally knew that his mother loved him, but this kind of love was too heavy, and he couldn't breathe anymore. Maybe all he can do is keep climbing up and up. If one day he has everything, maybe he can make his mother really smile at him!
Shen Ning looked at her son timidly and called softly: "Qiuyun."
Ling Qiuyun tried to control his tone, "Mom, there are too many things going on today, so I'm a little irritable. I'm really sorry just now."
"It's okay, it's okay, mother didn't care, you don't need to apologize." Shen Ning said hurriedly, "Qiuyun, mother knows that you are working hard now, but this shows that General Li values you very much. You must seize the opportunity and never let it go. General Lee is disappointed!”
Ling Qiuyun smiled bitterly after hearing this. Her mother would never know what he really wanted, and she had never tried to understand his true inner thoughts.
Forget it!
Whoever is born to be an ominous person may not bring happiness to others at all in this world.
Ling Qiuyun really couldn't eat this meal. He suddenly stood up and said, "Mom, Brother Cheng, I suddenly remembered that the general told me something, so I'll take the first step. You guys eat slowly and don't worry about me!"
"Okay, then you go and do your work first." Shen Ning said softly, but her eyes were full of disappointment.
~~~
After Qiu Yun left, Shen Ning suddenly thought of Cheng Mu. She quickly looked away and said with a forced smile: "Doctor Cheng, please continue eating."
"Auntie, you eat too."
Shen Ning nodded, "Okay!"
Cheng Mu had been observing Shen Ning. When he saw Aunt Shen put the vegetables back into the bowl, he hurriedly asked with concern: "Aunt Shen, are you okay?"
Except for her son, Shen Ning has no one she can talk to. Everyone in her neighborhood is very powerful. Who is really willing to be on good terms with her?
But Dr. Cheng was different. He didn't care about his lack of money and power. He always treated him enthusiastically, went to great lengths to prepare medicine and delivered it to his home. He never charged him for medicine. Therefore, when Shen Ning heard that Dr. Cheng cared about her like this, Shen Ning He no longer hesitated, "Qiu Yun has too many things on his mind. I really don't know what he is thinking! Doctor Cheng, to tell you the truth, sometimes I really feel that I am not close to this son at all."
"How could that be? Qiuyun just doesn't like to express it, but it doesn't mean that he is not close to you. You must know that everything Qiuyun does is for you."
"But I always feel that he is not truly happy when he is with me."
"Maybe it's because Qiuyun is too stressed!"
Cheng Mu already understood where the estrangement between mother and son was, but he was an outsider after all, and they needed to talk things over themselves. However, he could guide them slowly, which might help improve the relationship between them. .
"I know Qiu Yun is under a lot of pressure, but Doctor Cheng, who is not under a lot of pressure for people like us who have no status and live a difficult life? So Qiu Yun must learn to endure this, not only for me, but also for himself, Otherwise, we will always be looked down upon and bullied by others!"
"But I still think Qiuyun has endured too many things, and that's why he is worried. As for Qiuyun not telling you this, maybe he just doesn't want you to worry about him! Auntie, actually I think you can take the initiative Talk to him."
Shen Ning's face became complicated, "Forget it, I'll stop talking. Even if I take the initiative to talk to him, Qiu Yun won't tell me what he's thinking."
Cheng Mu immediately retorted: "I don't agree with your statement. How can we know the result without trying it yet? Maybe after you finish talking, you will understand each other better."
Shen Ning thought for a long time and finally insisted: "The most important thing for Qiuyun now is his future. I don't want to say unnecessary words to affect him at this time."
Cheng Mu puzzled: "I don't understand, how can a heart-to-heart talk between mother and son affect Qiu Yun's future? In addition, I want to ask you seriously, aunt, is it only the Qiu Yun's success that is the most important thing to you?"
Shen Ning smiled with helplessness, "Yes! Dr. Xiao Cheng, you may think that I am too worldly, but you know, there is no girl willing to marry into our family now, and that playboy from the Liu family has nothing at all." Qiuyun is excellent, but many people are flocking to him, hoping to have such a big backer! I can't help but be angry, but this is the reality we have to face! I can't stay with Qiuyun all my life, right? , so I must force him to be successful, only in this way can he live a good life, and by then, even if I die, I will be able to feel at ease."
Qiuyun has his own sufferings, and his aunt also has her unspeakable things. It is this that causes misunderstanding between mother and son. Although they are trying hard to maintain it, there are too many contradictions in it after all.
Qiu Yun is a person who is prone to extremes. If he continues like this, Cheng Mu is really worried about what he will do.
"Auntie, life is inherently unfair. It is full of kindness to some people, but it makes other people feel only a deep cold. It never considers whether these people are innocent or not, but this is the reality, a sad but necessary The reality we are facing. But Auntie, only love can warm this cold chill. Perhaps the most important thing to Qiuyun is not to get ahead, but just to live an ordinary, simple but love-filled life with you. "
"Of course I love Qiuyun. I only have one son, and I love him more than anyone else. But Doctor Cheng, I really don't know why it's like this. I can feel that although Qiuyun is as filial to me as ever, But we are becoming more and more distant from each other." Shen Ning couldn't help crying as she spoke.
Cheng Mu was also a little sentimental.
In fact, the reason is very simple. Even if you love again, if the method is wrong, it will only bring harm to others.
But seeing her so sad, how could Cheng Mu bear to say these words.
Better take your time.
