Chapter 1214 Forced Marriage on the Spot
Tang Xinyi's childhood trauma still cannot be healed. The emotional rift between her and her mother, even if her mother is now seriously ill, she cannot repair it and cannot truly forgive her mother.
This is the tragedy of the original family.
In this regard, Chen Feng has also tried to persuade her, but there is nothing she can do if she doesn't listen, or only half listens.
Anyway, Chen Feng agreed to visit her mother in her hometown tomorrow. In this way, it can be regarded as earning face and fulfilling filial piety for her.
After the two discussed the matter, they ended the call without further conversation.
Back in the living room, Chen Feng told Wu Mengting the whole story. There was nothing to hide.
Besides, Tang Xinyi’s mother is seriously ill and is likely to die soon. He pretended to be Tang Xinyi’s boyfriend and went over to meet her, which was considered a good deed.
Wu Mengting did not object, and it would be useless even if she objected.
At nine o'clock the next morning, Chen Feng officially set off for Jinling, Tang Xinyi's hometown.
It was only over an hour away. Chen Feng read a few chapters of the novel on the train, and the time passed by.
At the exit of the train station, Chen Feng got into the car driven by Tang Xinyi.
Tang Xinyi didn't see her for two or three days, and she looked quite haggard. After the car started, Chen Feng had time to ask about her mother's specific condition.
“She has rectal cancer and a variety of geriatric diseases. She underwent surgery this time. Although it was successful, she is not very optimistic. It may only last a few months.”
Tang Xinyi's tone was very calm, as if she was describing a stranger's condition.
Chen Feng could only say: "Then you should spend more time with your mother. Anyway, your company has been transferred now, so you don't have anything to do."
Tang Xinyi nodded and said: "Yes, I plan to continue this period. I will spend all the time with her. After a while, her condition will stabilize a bit, and I will take her to travel to the places she wants to go, so that she will not have any regrets. "That's right." Chen Feng said with some appreciation, "How can there be any hatred between mother and daughter? Let go of the prejudices and obsessions in your heart and reach an understanding with your mother. Only by living without regrets can Chen Feng actually feel that Tang Xinyi suffered a lot of injustice and abuse when she was a child.
It is the common wish of countless parents in China to hope that their children will succeed and have a great future. They have strictly disciplined their children since they were young. Sometimes it is normal to use violence. situation.
When many people grow up, they will thank their parents for their strict discipline when they were young.
But Tang Xinyi has always been resentful of her mother's harsh discipline when she was a child. Even now that her mother is dying, she still can't fully forgive her. This is a bit too much in Chen Feng's opinion.
In today's society, although the educational concept of filial sons born under the stick is no longer promoted, this concept is still used by many parents. Many tiger parents, tiger mothers, and wolf mothers pursue the idea of devoting their children to Strict education, in the end, really brings up excellent children.
Although Tang Xinyi was not educated and trained by her parents to become a top student, at least she was admitted to an art school and later became a star.
You said that her previous success had nothing to do with her parents. That is obviously wrong.
At least her parents gave her a pretty face, otherwise she might not have become a star.
Of course, don’t persuade others to be generous without their suffering.
Chen Feng was right in thinking so, and tried to persuade Tang Xinyi to let go of her past resentment towards her mother, but she couldn't do it, and Chen Feng wouldn't think she was at fault.
Everyone has their own perspective on the problem and their own ideas.
"I understand, thank you for coming here this time." Tang Xinyi was very grateful for Chen Feng's arrival this time.
"Needless to say the kind words, your mother is seriously ill now and wants to see me. As your man, it is right for me to come and meet her."
"Others don't know, but we know each other Everyone knows that you are not my boyfriend, and now I ask you to pretend to be my boyfriend and come all the way to Jinling. This is not your obligation. Therefore, I am very grateful to you. I owe you a favor. ”
Chen Feng couldn't help laughing when he heard this: "Why are you and I still so polite? Although I am not your boyfriend, I am your man. You can't deny this. As your man, I will do everything I can for you. Isn’t it right? So don’t say you owe me a favor.”
“You don’t think I owe you a favor, but I still feel that I do,” Tang Xinyi said seriously. .
"Okay, if you think you owe it, just owe it to me. It's good for you to owe me a favor."
"Well, I will pay it back in the future."
The two chatted all the way, and after about half an hour, they stopped in front of a hotel.
This is the hotel arranged by Tang Xinyi for Chen Feng. Chen Feng will stay here for one night.
After putting her luggage in the hotel room, Tang Xinyi continued to drive her to the hospital.
Her mother is still in the hospital. Chen Feng bought a fruit basket at the entrance of the hospital, carried it into the inpatient department of the hospital, and met her mother.
Tang Xinyi's mother doesn't look old. Even though she just had surgery, she looks like she is in her fifties. Unfortunately, he fell seriously ill and died soon.
Mother Tang's first impression of Chen Feng, her daughter's boyfriend, was very good. After all, he was tall and handsome, and he was also the boss of a film and television company with assets worth hundreds of millions. He had produced two films, "The Sapphire Case" and "Flying Flowers". She has also watched this popular drama.
Mother Tang became more and more satisfied with Chen Feng.
After a brief exchange of greetings, Tang’s mother said to Chen Feng very pleased: "I am very satisfied that Xiaoyi has a boyfriend like you. I just don’t know when you will get married? You and Xiaoyi Do you have this plan? After all, Xiaoyi is not young.”
I didn’t expect that Tang’s mother would force the marriage on the spot.
Before Chen Feng could think of how to answer, Tang Xinyi hurriedly said: "Mom, we are not in a hurry about the marriage. After all, we realize that it is less than a year away. We need to get more familiar with each other and get to know each other better."
Mother Tang sighed and said, "You are already thirty-four years old this year, right. If you don't get married soon, how long will it take?"
Tang Xinyi really couldn't refute.
Seeing this, Chen Feng came to the rescue and said: "We are already seriously considering it. I have been divorced before, so I will be very cautious about my second marriage, so I have not discussed marriage with Xinyi for the time being. We want to get married, but we have our own concerns about each other, and we plan to wait until our relationship becomes more stable before we get married. Marriage."
Mother Tang said, "You should have this plan within this year, right?" After Chen Feng and Tang Xinyi looked at each other, it was Chen Feng who said, "I have this plan, but I just made it. I have said it before, I have been divorced, and I need to be more cautious about my second marriage.”
“Aren’t you very satisfied with our Xiaoyi?” Mother Tang asked.
"Of course not, I am very satisfied with her. But marriage is not a child's play, I will still be very cautious."
That's all Chen Feng could say.
Seeing this, Mrs. Tang sighed helplessly and said, "You young people have completely different views on marriage than us. Xiao Chen, I am not forcing you to marry my Xiaoyi. But you should also know I don’t know how many more days my body can last. I will leave at any time. I can’t watch her get married before I leave. I may feel uneasy about leaving. I hope you can understand.”
"I understand, of course I understand." Chen Feng nodded immediately, "I understand how you feel, but I'm really sorry that I can't promise you to marry Xinyi right away. However, I can assure you that I will treat her well. Protect her and let her live happily."
Mother Tang stared at Chen Feng seriously. After watching for a while, seeing that Chen Feng's eyes showed no intention to dodge, he nodded his head and said, "Okay, I believe you."
The forced marriage ended here, and then Tang's mother continued I asked him some family matters, including some basic family information, and Chen Feng answered them all.
Tang’s mother also took the initiative to talk about some of their family’s situation later. Their family’s population is quite simple. Apart from her, the elder, there are two brothers and sisters, Tang Xinyi. Tang Xinyi’s brother is now an associate professor at Jinling University. , is married and has a seven-year-old daughter.
After chatting with Mother Tang for more than an hour, Mother Tang finally felt a little exhausted, so the meeting and conversation ended.
Tang Xinyi and Chen Feng came out of the ward together, and Tang's mother hired a nurse to take care of them.
"I'm sorry, my mother is like this because she is sick. Don't take it to heart."
After coming out of the ward, Tang Xinyi immediately apologized to Chen Feng.
Of course Chen Feng was not angry and said naturally: "It is human nature for your mother to force me to get married. After all, she thought I was your boyfriend."
Tang Xinyi sighed and said: "I wish you were really my boyfriend."
Chen Feng said: "I have told you a long time ago that I will not consider getting married in the past few years. Even if I are really your boyfriend, I will not consider getting married."
"I didn't say anything about marriage. If you are really my man Friend, I can make many requests to you as a matter of course."
"What request?"
"For example, let you stay here for a few more days and spend more time with me and my mother. In addition, I can also ask you to take me and I will go traveling with my mother. I can ask you to do other things.”
“That will really disappoint you. After all, I will stay here for one day at most and I will go back tomorrow. I also have my own affairs in Xiuzhou. As for traveling with you and your mother, it's even more impossible. I think your mother should prefer that you and your brother travel with her, not you and me. You should ask your brother to take leave to accompany you and you. Let’s travel together with mom.”
Chen Feng happily rejected Tang Xinyi's disguised request.
He will not let Tang Xinyi lead her by the nose and let her make more demands on herself.
"I knew you would be like this. My brother is a nerd and is usually very busy at work. My mother would definitely be reluctant to let him take time off to travel with her. This is how she considers her son."
"Isn't he an associate professor at the school? He usually has weekends off, right? He is very busy at work? In addition, His mother is about to leave. Isn't it natural for him to take time off to travel with her as a last act of filial piety? Just tell him, and I think he will agree. As long as he agrees, won't your mother refuse? ? I don’t think she will.”
“Okay, I will tell my brother.”
The two of them walked out of the hospital, and then Tang Xinyi cheered up and took Chen Feng to visit the scenic spots here. They ate at the scenic spots at noon. They ate local snacks, which tasted very good.
After lunch, the two strolled around for a while before returning to the hotel to rest together.
After the two rested together for two hours, they each took a bath, and then they lay comfortably on the bed and talked about things.
“I won’t think about starting a business for the time being, but can you give me a good suggestion so that I can start a business in the future?”
Tang Xinyi sold the company , now considered an unemployed young woman.
"Let's talk about the future in the future. If you ask me for advice on starting a business, my advice is not to start a business. Divide your current money into two parts, deposit one part in the bank for a fixed term, and use the other part for free consumption. In this way, basically I won’t have to worry about it in my previous life. The money you deposit in the bank on a regular basis will earn a lot of interest every year.”
“According to what you said, wouldn’t I just be fine?”
"Isn't it good to lie flat? I'm actually lying down now. I feel quite happy to enter my retirement life early.”
“How can you be lying down like this? After all, you still have a company, and I can make a lot of money for you every year. It’s the same. After the company was sold, I really Nothing to do.”
“It’s too early for you to consider these things. Your first priority now is to accompany your mother and accompany her through the final journey. We can wait until this incident is over. .”
"Okay, I understand."
After the two chatted for a while, Tang Xinyi received a call from her brother Tang Hongying, saying that she wanted to invite Chen Feng to have a meal with her in the evening to get acquainted.
This request was difficult to refuse, so Tang Xinyi agreed.
At night, Tang Xinyi took him to her brother's house.
Her brother entertained them in his own home, which was a sign of not treating them as outsiders.
Her brother was pretty much what Chen Feng had imagined. He wore glasses, was polite, and had a bookish air. His appearance was vaguely similar to Tang Xinyi's, especially his eyes and nose. The brother and sister looked really alike.
Tang Xinyi’s sister-in-law also wears glasses. Although she is not very beautiful, she is very elegant. She speaks and treats people well. The most important thing is that her cooking skills are very good. This is also the reason why Tang Hongying A great reason to invite them over for dinner.
Tang Xinyi’s niece is seven years old this year. She looks a bit like Tang Xinyi and is already in primary school. At first, she was not very close to Tang Xinyi, her aunt, but after Tang Xinyi said a few beautiful words, the niece immediately started talking and laughing with her.
The meal started not long after they came over. Neither of them were too restrained. They both ate two bowls of rice. The main reason was that Tang Xinyi’s sister-in-law was really good at cooking and they both enjoyed several dishes. Full of praise.
After finishing the meal, Tang Hongying opened a bottle of red wine and poured it for both Chen Feng and Tang Xinyi.
Then, he raised his glass and said to the two of them: "As a brother, I cared too little about you Xinyi before. But in my heart, I always hope that my sister can live well. Chen Feng, can you promise me , always take care of her and give her happiness?”
