The Perfect Hidden Marriage

The storm passed quickly.

The Spring Festival came so quietly.

After this incident, the Jin Group may have suffered losses in assets, but the rapid recovery of the stock market has made all this appear peaceful.

From Xiao Jinghuan's point of view, the most gratifying thing is that her mother bought back all the shares bought by outsiders - for three consecutive days after this strong woman came out, Jin's stock market rose by the daily limit. The gains continued well over the next week.

This time's disaster turned out to be a good thing.

It's a blessing in disguise. Things in the world are indeed unpredictable.

On the third day after my mother came out, a meeting was held at home:

My grandfather and mother redistributed the shares equally. Several children in the family have them, but they only enjoy the dividend rights of the shares and no trading rights. This arrangement is just to ensure that the company will not be in trouble one day in the future due to some reasons. , and fell apart.

After the distribution, the mother still owns a certain amount of equity, and the remaining equity in her name will be transferred to the new head of the family in the future.

Next, the Jin family was managed by Jin Changning and Xiao Jinghuan. Jin Hengyuan has no objection to this, because he will enter Xiao's company next year, officially join the work, and take on his own responsibilities.

The only small regret is that Zhongtian, who is studying abroad, called back and said that he did not plan to come back for the New Year because he was very busy.

This makes my mother a little sad.

Xiao Jinghuan knew that his younger brother did not want to come back and offend the family - ever since Uncle Yi Fan passed away, this family seemed to have lost its meaning to him.

She saw her mother sighing in the dark.

Zhongtian is the mother's youngest child, and she has put the most and deepest efforts into him. In the past, mother and son loved each other so much, but now, day after day, they were alienated, which made her feel sad.

Another late night, behind her mother's back, she secretly made an overseas phone call to her brother, whom she had never liked.

"Hey, who's there?"

Zhongtian's voice is faint, losing the sunshine of the past. She sighed as she listened.

They are obviously siblings, but their relationship is so unfamiliar that they don't even know each other's phone numbers.

"It's me, Jing Huan."

The other party fell silent immediately.

She didn't want to be left alone, so she immediately went on to explain the purpose of the call:

"Zhongtian, come home during the Chinese New Year! Everyone in the family misses you very much."

"No return."

He refused without thinking, his voice was indifferent.

"Why?"

"That is no longer the home I am familiar with... My presence or absence is insignificant. Okay, I have to go to class. Goodbye."

"Zhongtian..."

She hurriedly called him:

"Do you hate me, or do you hate mom?"

“There is no hate and no love.”

His answer was so nonchalant.

"Zhongtian, please don't be like this. You don't know how much mom misses you. Brother, too. Changning and I both miss you. Go home..."

She begged deeply.

But over there, he hung up without saying a word, and the busy signal followed closely.

Xiao Jinghuan's mood suddenly became very low.

Why is it so difficult to bring people closer together sometimes?

well!

She couldn't help but sigh.

"Why are you sighing?"

Jin Changning, who came out of the shower, heard this and walked over. Seeing her drooping head, he smiled and flicked her nose:

"What's going on here?"

Xiao Jinghuan looked at him eagerly, stretched out her arms to hug him, and said what she just said, the more she said it, the more uncomfortable she felt:

"In the past, that kid had shown me kindness in every possible way, but I just turned a blind eye. Now that he is so cold to me, and thinking about how coldly I treated him back then, I suddenly feel a feeling that everything has changed over the past eighteen years. Now, my The knot in my heart has been resolved, but what about the knot in Zhongtian’s heart? When will it be able to be resolved?"

After Jin Changjing listened quietly, he thought about it and began to enlighten her:

"Huanhuan, you have to understand one thing. Living in the world is a process of continuous growth. What you can't see clearly at this moment will, in a few years, experience more things and have more ideas. Once your eyes are widened, you can see everything. The old knot will naturally be resolved. So, I think, when it comes to Zhongtian, you have to take it slow."

How could Xiao Jinghuan not understand this truth?

"This is the truth.

"But, alas, it's Chinese New Year, I'm really looking forward to him coming home, and I believe my mother will be very happy too.

"In the past few years, I have been too unfilial. I have been away from home to celebrate the New Year and rarely come back a few times a year. However, my mother often comes to the UK to spend a few days with me.

"After experiencing such a catastrophe, I finally understand that those seemingly ordinary daily lives are actually a kind of rare happiness.

"Think about it, grandpa is already so old, how many days will we have to spend together in the future... If Zhongtian is so willful and refuses to go home, he will definitely regret it in the future.

"Well, to put it bluntly, I just don't want Zhongtian to take those detours."

She said, gently stroking her belly. Since having the child, she has a deeper understanding of home than usual.

Jin Changning also fell silent for a while, then sighed:

"Sometimes, you have to take small detours. People, only after practice can they know which roads should be taken and which roads should not be taken. Once a person really knows how to cherish blessings, then this person will He has truly grown up. My Huanhuan has grown up. Believe me, he will grow up every day. However, there will be a process during this process. Just wait...he will wake up..."

He gently patted and caressed her back, but his thoughts were far away.

Xiao Jinghuan looked up and saw a strange look on his face, and suddenly thought of one thing: the Yan family had all returned to Taiwan, and this was a departure without saying goodbye. He called, but Li Luo always answered the phone, and his mother kept avoiding him.

Mother and son have been separated for more than twenty years. Now, with the new year just around the corner, he probably really wants to spend the holidays with his mother.

"Chang Ning, how did you celebrate the New Year at home when you were a child? Do you remember?"

"I don't particularly remember."

He smiled and came to his senses.

"Tell me about it..."

"For example, writing Spring Festival couplets, pasting spring characters, making lanterns... Actually, it's pretty much the same..."

The couple just hugged each other and stood in front of the window, talking in detail about ordinary and commonplace words - life is very commonplace, and they are already enjoying it.

Later, she asked: "Is your mother still not answering your phone calls?"

He nodded.

She hugged him back, and after a long silence, she raised her head, kissed him, and said, "In the New Year, we will go to Taiwan to visit her old man. What do you think?"

This suggestion surprised Jin Changning:

"You...you are willing?"

"Why wouldn't I want to?"

She asked back with a raised eyebrow.

"That day, my mother did this to you..."

"The misunderstanding has not been resolved. If I put myself in someone else's shoes, I can still understand. So, I think we will spend the New Year's Eve at home, and after the first day of the New Year, we will choose a day to go see my mother together. No matter what In this way, she is an elder, so I will give her a step down, and I can lower myself for you."

Such a general understanding really surprised Jin Changning.

He originally thought that Huanhuan's emotions towards his mother might take a while to dissipate...

"Huanhuan, thank you for thinking about me like this..."

This thank you is sincere.

In this world, there are only two flesh-and-blood relatives with him. If we can't untie the knot in our hearts, we will be an eternal regret with him.

"I still have to apologize to you on behalf of my sister..."

"Xu..."

She pressed his lips with her fingers and winked at him with a bright smile:

"Stupid or not, what do you need to apologize to me for?"

Jin Changning smiled slightly and hugged her tightly.

With a wife like this, this life is enough.

New Year's Eve came in full swing amid a heavy snowfall.

On this day, four elderly people from Xiao Jin's family gathered together. The family sat around a table and celebrated the New Year's Eve lively. The only regret is that Zhongzhen really didn't come back.

In Xiao Jinghuan's impression, the day of family reunion seemed to be a beautiful memory that only happened twenty years ago.

At that time, it was New Year's Eve, and everyone in the family would go back to their old house in Jiashi to celebrate the New Year, have meals with their grandparents, and live a comfortable life in a small town like Jiangnan.

That day, her father and mother, her eldest brother, her second brother, her brother Changning, her, her fourth uncle, her sixth uncle, her younger uncle, and her cousin from the fourth uncle’s family were able to fill the grandpa’s house: the upstairs was full of people. , there are people downstairs. Inside the house, adults are talking and recounting their daily routine, while outside, children are chasing each other and jumping around... There is laughter and laughter everywhere, and the smell of the New Year is everywhere.

From time to time, there will be hundreds of crackling sounds in the air, filled with the aroma of fried meat, and the cold north wind carries the warm smell of reunion...

As the youngest child in the family, her favorite thing is to chase everyone's footsteps. If she falls, someone will help her, but she doesn't cry and smiles all day long...

Grandparents said that she was an angel who did not understand the sufferings of the world.

Yes, I was so happy at that time, being pampered by everyone and smiling so harmlessly.

But she didn't have many such memories. Her parents were divorced, and her mother loved her, but this love failed to be a force to restrain her. After she decided to divorce, no one could stop her from leaving.

Now, many years later, she finally understands that in the relationship of marriage, a woman can put herself very low for her man. It is because of love. Once she no longer wants to love and becomes desperate, no one can destroy the marriage. save.

But I didn't understand it at that time.

She only knows that she doesn’t like that kind of life. Without her mother, the home loses the taste of home, the New Year loses the taste of New Year, and life loses its fun. Every year during the New Year at home, her mother will meet her new family on the other side. Members go to the UK to stay away from the impact of the Chinese New Year.

Over the years, the so-called Chinese New Year became less and less popular year by year, especially after losing Shao Feng. She hid in England and lost the urge to celebrate the New Year. He just walked over like that.

And this year, the flavor of the year seems to be back.

This time, they spent the New Year in Shanghai, grandpa, grandma, grandpa, grandma, dad, mom, brother and sister-in-law, plus a little niece Xiao Xiaoran who has become more and more cute over the years, and Chang Ning and her...

In the past, it was they children who made the New Year lively and lively. Where there were children, there was always laughter. Now, they have all grown up, but the new generation has not kept up. However, there should be more happiness in the New Year next year. There are more children crying and laughing...and more and more every year...

She likes this kind of excitement.

This is the taste of home.

The dinner was about to start, and the snow seemed to be falling heavier and heavier.

The garden is filled with red lanterns and red spring characters, decorating the home with joy.

Xiao Jinghuan was led by Jin Changning to sit down. Everyone was seated. Facing the table full of delicious food, her stomach growled.

But the seats for parents are still vacant?

"Where are the people?"

Xiao Jinghuan asked Jin Changning.

"I know I know……"

The little niece raised her hands and shouted: "Grandpa took grandma to enjoy the plum blossoms."

Yes, the two plum blossoms that have been planted in the garden for several years have finally bloomed. They are big and beautiful.

"I'll go take a look too."

The hour hand pointed to four o'clock in the afternoon.

Southerners eat their New Year's Eve dinner very early every year, because after saving for a year, they need to talk for a long time, because during the New Year, they should gather together and have a good time...

"I'll accompany you there. The ground is slippery, but don't slip. Don't worry, I'll keep an eye on you."

These days, Jin Changning has been guarding her, and the two of them have become more clingy than before.

*

Two winter plum blossoms are blooming proudly in the snow.

The plum blossoms are red and the snow is white, stunningly beautiful.

"It's been almost four years. I thought I was lucky this time. I bought two plum trees that would not bloom at a high price. I didn't expect that this year, they would give me such a big surprise - the color is really beautiful. !”

Jin Yuan was very happy to see it. She took two photos with her mobile phone and sent them directly to her circle of friends. She had a charming smile on her face, which almost compared with the scenery here.

"You have almost never made a fortune. Ayuan, in my eyes, your excellence has always been unparalleled. It's just that I didn't understand this before. Now, as I get older, I see people more and more. It’s getting clearer.”

Xiao Zhidong smiled, his eyes only lingering on the plum blossom tree for a short while, and soon fell on her again.

Today, she is wearing a purple cheongsam, long hair tied high, and a mink shawl. Her figure is still in good shape, but there are fine lines on her face. After all, her age is there, but compared to him With her head full of white hair, she really looks much younger.

"Are you complimenting me?"

Jin Yuan chuckled unconsciously and went up to smell the fragrance of the flowers. It smelled so good.

"It's not a boast, you always have been."

He spoke very seriously, with a rare gentle smile on his always serious face.

This kind of tenderness is what she desires most when she is young. Now that she has reached this age, she finally has it, and the taste is still excellent.

"I like plum blossoms."

She said with a smile, feeling extremely happy.

"I know. When you proposed to me, it was in the plum garden."

Back then, their marriage stemmed from her passionate pursuit. Even the marriage was proposed by her, but after weighing the interests, he could only agree.

At that time, he was disheartened about marriage, and was not moved by the pursuit of this beautiful woman. Even in their first life as a couple, she took the initiative, and he was just cooperating and fulfilling his duties as a husband. obligations.

In those days of frequent gatherings and frequent separations, their relationship eventually became estranged because of his coldness.

Only when he completely lost it did he suddenly realize how inconsiderate he was.

"I thought you had forgotten..."

She laughed, she was so crazy back then.

"Can't forget."

He looked deeply at the plum blossoms, with a slight smile on his face:

"In those days, it was very rare for a woman to propose to a man. Your boldness was unprecedented."

"It's a pity that you have no interest in me. If you didn't want to keep your company, why would you agree to marry me? I, Jin Yuan, had so many people pursuing me at that time, why did I fall in love with you, my dead wife and my wife? A man with a child..."

Thinking back to the beginning, it was so emotional, and it was inevitable that there would be times when I felt aggrieved.

"Ayuan, it's me who doesn't know what's good and what's good. I failed you before, but I won't do it again."

His tone was full of apologies. As he spoke, he took out a red velvet box from his coat pocket. When he opened it, he found a simple ring.

"What's the meaning?"

Jin Yuan glanced at it and her heart skipped a beat inexplicably.

The gray-haired man slowly knelt down on one knee towards her, his face full of tenderness that could kill anyone:

“There is no afterlife in life, and even if there is, we may not be able to meet each other.

“The reality is: when you die, there is nothing left. I don’t want to leave with unfulfilled regrets in the future.

"Ayuan, I know that I owe you too much in this life. Here, I beg for your forgiveness and ask you: let me get my wish and be with you again in the rest of my life. You are my companion.

"Ayuan, what should be given to you, I must give. I have never done this drama of proposing. At such an old age, I can't do anything fancy. Today, the plum blossoms are blooming. How did it start in the past? No matter what happens now, Start. You once loved me and tolerated me. From now on, I will love you, tolerate you and accompany you...

"Ayuan, marry me..."

Jin Yuan watched, and because of these words, a smile appeared on her face.

When she was young, she tried her best to love but got no response. Now that she is old, it is a little late to regain the lost love, but it is not too late at least. At least they still have a future, no matter they can still leave. How far. Walking with each other's support, and staying with each other for the rest of the years, there is no regret.

"Okay. I agreed, get up... My old arms and legs are very cold on the ground, so don't get cold."

She went to help him.

But he muttered: "I haven't put the ring on yet! The proposal ceremony is not over yet."

She was startled and laughed until she burst into tears. Finally, she had no choice but to extend her hand.

The man put the ring on her finger reverently, and then, with a childlike smile, he stood up holding her hand.

"Ayuan..."

He sighed and hugged her gently.

In the past, he turned a blind eye, but later it was difficult to see it. Now, he has it again. After so many years, he understands: Happiness is sometimes so simple. Only when it is lost and found can you realize how precious it is.

Jin Yuan smiled, leaned back, and enjoyed the tranquility of this moment.

After going around in circles for so many years, and after so many things happened, they have returned to the starting point. The bond between her and him is really deep.

Snowflakes are floating silently, and warmth is conveyed silently.

Around the corner, someone saw this scene, laughing secretly, and secretly took a picture of the scene just now.

It was Xiao Jinghuan, with bright eyes, hugging the people around her, and murmuring softly:

"It is already very complete. This year is already very complete. All the unpleasant things are over, and there will be a new beginning. My parents are complete, my brother and sister-in-law are complete, and we are also complete... This is good."

She sighed contentedly.

Jin Changning lowered his head and looked at it. It was indeed perfect. The worst period was over. However, there was still a hidden worry that always existed.

It's really hard to imagine what would happen to her if it broke out.

Shao Feng, ah Shao Feng, that has always been the biggest pain and deepest love in her heart.
