"Xiao Qi," my father said on the phone, "Why are you accusing your aunt?
"Didn't she just sell the cosmetics you gave me?
"Now your aunt is mad at you. In my opinion, you should come over and apologize to her."

Mo Xiaoke sent Yan Shu back to the community and sent a WeChat message to Ye Xu when he came out.
"I'll bring you something to eat tonight," she said.
"Forget it, I have no appetite."
Mo Xiaoke could tell that he was not in a good mood these days.
In fact, Ye Xu is always in a bad mood every rainy day. Especially when it rains heavily, he will almost fall into an autistic state, not going out, not answering the phone, not eating or drinking. It is said that other depression patients will be more susceptible to the weather, so Mo Xiaoke didn't think much about it.
"Exercising without eating can easily lead to hypoglycemia," she said.
Before Ye Xu could reply, a voice call suddenly came in.
"Xiao Ke, Xiao Ke." Yan Shu's voice was hoarse and his breathing was rapid, "Help me!"
"What happened?" Mo Xiaoke sat up straight.
"Elevator..."
The call was cut off here. Mo Xiaoke called, but there was no signal there.
Because she had just sent a message, she did not start the car and was still parked at the door of Yan Shu's community. So Mo Xiaoke made a quick decision, jumped out of the car and ran towards the community.
told the security guard that the elevator might be closed, so she rushed into the entrance hall, locked the elevator, and knocked hard. It's quiet inside
.
Mo Xiaoke climbed up to the second floor and called Yan Shu's name while knocking, but there was still no response.
When she climbed to the fourth floor, several masters from the engineering department also came and pried open the elevator door.
The elevator shaft was dim and there was heavy breathing coming from the car overhead.
"It should be the seventh floor, let's go up." Several people said and got into another elevator on the opposite side.
"The person inside is my friend." Mo Xiaoke explained and followed him.
She was startled when the elevator door was pried open again.
Yan Shu was lying on the ground, her hair was disheveled, her eyes were unfocused, and there was no color on her face.
"Wait a minute." The master from the engineering department stretched out his hand to pull her out, but was stopped by Mo Xiaoke.
She had to rule out that Yan Shu had myocardial infarction or heart failure first. Because in the event of this type of problem, casual movement or position changes may increase the risk of death.
"Yan Shu." Mo Xiaoke squatted beside the elevator, calling her name softly and carefully placing his hand on her pulse.
's pulse beat very fast, but Yan Shu did not respond.
"Yan Shu, I'm Xiaoke." Mo Xiaoke came close to her ear and said again.
"Xiao Ke..." Yan Shu's eyes moved, and the next moment, he suddenly pounced over.
"Xiao Ke," she gasped, "help me..."
Mo Xiaoke understood in an instant that Yan Shu's claustrophobia was probably caused by the sudden failure of the elevator.
She helped Yan Shu up, and seeing that his legs were still a little weak, she half-hugged him in her arms.
"It's okay, it's okay..." As Mo Xiaoke comforted softly, Yan Shu's stiff body gradually softened.
"The cool breeze blows gently..." A cell phone rang. She followed the sound and quickly picked up Yan Shu's cell phone from the corner of the elevator.
"You..." As soon as Mo Xiaoke started to speak, he was interrupted by the other party.
"Xiao Qi," an elderly male voice said, "Why are you accusing your aunt? Didn't she just sell the cosmetics you gave her? It's not a big deal. You make her laugh by looking at her."
"Now your aunt is mad at you. In my opinion, you should come over and apologize to her."

Yan Shu is Mo Xiaoke's old customer. The reason why
is said to be an old customer is that they have known each other for several months. On the other hand, Yan Shu has requested to accompany more frequently.
In fact, in Mo Xiaoke's concept, the accompanying clinician is the temporary family of the client. He should give them sincere care and help from the perspective of the family.
So she doesn't expect to see Yan Shu often. Because every time they meet, it means Yan Shu drinks again.
Yan Shu is twenty-nine years old this year, and can be regarded as a "successful person" in the world's eyes - he worked as the marketing director of a well-known advertising company at a young age. With his own efforts, he bought two houses in Jincheng , and also took his father and stepmother to live by him.
The first time Mo Xiaoke received her order to accompany a doctor was in the early morning of a winter day.
Because of martial arts training, she is used to going to bed early and getting up early. So when the urgent order call came from the platform, Mo Xiaoke was just dreaming.
In the dream, the sun was setting, and her parents were huddled in the kitchen cooking boiled fish, while Ye Xu, wearing a high school uniform, hid outside the window and secretly handed her his mother's newly baked butter cookies.
Everything is so beautiful, if you don't wake up.
is not sad.
Mo Xiaoke closed his eyes, adjusted, and picked up the phone.
"There is a female customer who is allergic to alcohol. Xiaoke, please go pick her up and take her to the hospital for infusion." The operation girl explained.
If you can’t drink alcohol, why are you drinking it? My already bad mood became even worse.
But career has nothing to do with your mood. If you refuse an order because you are in a bad mood, then no one will have to work.
So Mo Xiaoke quickly jumped out of bed, put on a sweatshirt and jeans, and covered himself with a down jacket. Then he picked up the car key and navigated to the private restaurant sent by the operation.
The restaurant seemed to be closed and dark. There was only a slender figure leaning crookedly in the corner of the gate.
Mo Xiaoke locked the car and walked over, and asked tentatively, "Miss Yan?"
The woman raised her head, frowning and looking at her.
Yan Shu is not the kind of beauty who looks beautiful at first sight. Her eyebrows are slightly wider and her lips are thicker, but her eyes are astonishingly dark. Especially at this moment, there is mist in her eyes, making her look like a lost angel.
The problem is, the angel has a red spot on his face.
"Are you allergic to alcohol?" Mo Xiaoke took two steps forward to hold her arm, and conducted a pre-examination as usual, "Besides rash , what other symptoms are there?"
"Dizziness, and I seem to be a little out of breath." Yan Shu asked her He had the strength to stand up and smiled a little apologetically, "Attendant Mo Xiaoke? I'm sorry for calling you out of bed. It's really too miserable to go to the hospital alone."
When the distance between the two people was so close, Mo Xiaoke realized that Yan Shu's lips might not be thick, but rather swollen.
"Stop talking, I'll help you get into the car right away." Mo Xiaoke became alert.
If Yan Shu's throat also develops edema, anti-allergic drugs must be injected as soon as possible.
Otherwise, even a small alcohol allergy may be life-threatening.
3
Later, as they became more familiar with each other, Mo Xiaoke gradually realized that Yan Shu's alcohol allergy was not an accident.
In fact, she is very aware that she has this risk, but she knows better that as a girl from an ordinary family, she has to do a good job and make more money, and sometimes she has no choice.
When Yan Shu was eight years old, her mother died unexpectedly.
's father, Yan Junqiang, was only thirty-seven years old at the time. He was young, handsome, and worked in a state-owned enterprise. He had good conditions in all aspects, so people soon began to arrange for introductions to him.
Yan Shu was a little scared.
She couldn't imagine another person walking into her home and calling another person mom.
She asked Yan Junqiang this question one night.
"Xiao Qi," Yan Junqiang held her in his arms, "Then are you willing to have a new mother?"
Yan Shu immediately shook her head.
Yan Junqiang said nothing more.
He had never been on a blind date, and had no intention of getting married. He only focused on taking care of Yan Shu, and Yan Shu gradually relaxed.
Two years later, Yan Shu came home from school and heard her grandma and dad talking in the kitchen.
Grandma persuaded dad to remarry, but dad refused.
"Mom, think about it." Yan Junqiang lowered his head and said while chopping vegetables, "If I find someone with children, she will definitely take care of her children in the future, and I will take care of my children. Can I think about it together? If I find someone without children, then I have to let him live. Then one My biological child, a Xiaoqi, what kind of woman can really hold a bowl of water flat? Isn’t it my Xiaoqi who will suffer in the end? "But Xiaoqi will eventually get married, and when the time comes, you won't even have a companion by your side." Grandma couldn't continue talking and started to shed tears.
Yan Junqiang put down the knife, patted his grandma on the back and whispered comfort.
No matter what, he has no intention of finding another one.
On the one hand, Yan Shu was moved by his father's love for him, but on the other hand, he felt guilty. She didn't know how to make up for it, so she studied hard and rushed to high school with a certificate of three outstanding students. She also rushed to a well-known college with a score in the top 100 in the city. When
graduated from college, many companies came to recruit.
Yan Shu could have entered a state-owned enterprise and had a clerical job. The pressure would not be so great and the income would not be too bad.
But she chose this industry-leading advertising company, and it was the hardest sales position among them.
Many students don’t understand it. But Yan Shu herself understood that it was not easy for her father these years. She wanted to make money, make a lot of money, take her father by her side, and let him live the best life.
Only by doing sales can we give her this opportunity.
Yan Shu worked hard and never let go of any potential customers. Within a few years, he was promoted to sales director with his excellent order-taking ability.
What she didn't expect was that before she could achieve her small goal of family reunion, her father, who was in his fifties, met someone he liked.

Yan Shu met Aunt Sun, whom her father spoke of, at her own home.
Aunt Sun’s name is Sun Aifang. She is forty-six years old and has been divorced for more than ten years. She originally worked in the cafeteria of her father's company, but the company's performance was not good. The land in the cafeteria was sold long ago, and Sun Aifang lost her job.
"Her ex-husband was a gambler. It was not easy for her to sell breakfast alone to support her son in college. Anyway, I was too lazy to do it, so I often took care of the business. Sometimes I would help with the moving work." This is how the father explained the beginning of the two of them.
Yan Shu looked at Sun Aifang across the dining table.
To be honest, Sun Aifang is not beautiful, she is just fair and fair, and she always talks with a smile. He was also very attentive to her. As soon as her eyes turned to a dish, Sun Aifang brought it to her in the next second.
Yan Shu secretly observed Yan Junqiang again.
My old father, who had never cared about dressing up, seemed to be starting to dress younger and more fashionably. Even the corners of his eyes and eyebrows had the silly smile of a man in love.
Yan Shu then nodded.
Even the guilt that had been hidden for many years in her heart was comforted.
Yan Junqiang breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that she and Sun Aifang were getting along well, and began to prepare for the wedding happily. Originally, Sun Aifang said that since they were both the same age, it would be enough to get a certificate and move here. But she sighed again, regretting that she had never worn a wedding dress even once in her life. It was a pity after all.
"Then let's wear it once." Yan Junqiang said, "You live a lifetime, and I will provide you with everything you haven't got."
Not long after Yan Shu returned to Jincheng, Yan Junqiang called and asked about her life, but he never hung up.
"Dad, what can I do for you?" After working in sales for several years, Yan Shu has already become a smart person who can listen to voice-overs.
Yan Junqiang seemed to be hesitant, and he hesitated for a while before asking, "Xiao Qi, do you have any money in your hand now?"
Yan Shu was a little surprised.
When she first started working, she gave Yan Junqiang two thousand yuan a month, but he returned all of it.
"What can a girl do if she has no money? You don't need to worry about me. I'm alone and can talk about anything." He said.
But Yan Junqiang now took the initiative to ask for money.
"There are some, what do you want to do?" Yan Shu asked.
"You also know what happened between me and your Aunt Sun... She doesn't want anything to say, and she doesn't need to hold a wedding.But I think we can’t be sorry for her after she follows us, so we are going to clean up the house at home, and the bride price will be 66,000 yuan, , three gold, , etc. I have to buy the most basic thing... I don’t have much money..."
"It's okay, Dad. Yan Shu thought of how his young father had been alone until now, and finally there was someone who could understand the cold and hot. In the future, they would accompany each other, and they could not have conflicts from the beginning, so he said cheerfully, "I will pay for the bride price and three golds." In addition, don't clean up the house. You are retreating anyway, so just move to Jincheng. The house I bought will be delivered next month. Then you can hold weddings in the new house. How wonderful. "

After marriage, Yan Shu did not live with the old couple.
Distance brings beauty, and stepmother is not the mother after all, she understands.
Yan Junqiang and Sun Aifang lived a sweet world for two.
"I think the people in Jincheng are very fashionable in their clothes," Sun Aifang once looked in the mirror at the door, "When I go out to compare, I always feel like I am from a rural village. "
" Then you should dress like them. Yan Junqiang smiled and said, "You are white and better dressed than them." "
" Forget it, why waste that money? " Sun Aifang said.
But when she was shopping, her eyes were still fixed on the cashmere coat reluctantly.
Later, this cashmere coat worth more than 4,000 yuan quickly passed through Yan Shu's hands and reached Sun Aifang's hands.
Sun Aifang scolded the child for wasting money, while happily gesticulating on her body, and gave Yan Junqiang a few sweet words.
Yan Shu Know that this is how women want things.
Actually, she doesn't like Sun Aifang's roundabout ways. It didn't matter before, but now she is married to her father. Although she calls her aunt, they are still a family, so why can't she just say what she wants?
But Yan Junqiang doesn’t seem to feel bad.
In fact, he enjoys this state of life. Every time Yan Shu comes home, she can feel her father’s love from the inside out. The happiness that radiates.
Yan Shu was relieved because of this.
Isn’t this the day she worked so hard for? As for Sun Aifang, as long as her father likes her.
In the past few years, as Yan Shu's income has been rising, Sun Aifang's requirements for quality of life have become more and more refined.
Yan Shu not only satisfied her without any compromise, he even went out of his way to recognize her From a purchasing agent you know, I can buy La Mer for Sun Aifang, black bandages, and Chanel No. 5 .
She always felt that the better she was to Sun Aifang, the better Sun Aifang would be to Yan Junqiang.
Yan Shu never expected that because of her kindness, she would be regarded as a big grievance.
"Sister Yan, do you know an Aunt Sun? "Yan Shu had just finished the meeting that day when she saw a message from a familiar purchasing agent.
"Sun Aifang? Yan Shu asked.
"Yes, that's her." "The purchasing agent uploaded a photo, "Look, she asked me to sell these things. When I took a look, why did it look so much like the one you bought from me last week? "
Yan Shu clicked on the picture. This thing is so familiar. Even the handbag that holds them is the same one she took.
"She asked you to help sell it? "Yan Shu still couldn't believe it.
"Yes, he also asked me how much it usually costs. He said he would give me a 10% increase. "The little purchasing agent replied.
Yan Shu is not a temperless person, otherwise she would not be able to sit in this position.
She endured it again and again, and finally took out her mobile phone and made a voice call.
"Aunt Sun, if you don't like these skin care products, you can tell me. Or you can tell me if you need money. Why do you want to resell what I bought you? I don't understand what you mean. "
Sun Aifang didn't say anything at the time. But in the afternoon, Yan Shu had just been rescued from the elevator by Mo Xiaoke, and she received a call from her father.
The man who once loved her most was on someone else's side this time.

Mo Xiaoke knew a little about the situation of Yan Shu's family, and he guessed his identity as soon as he heard the other party mention "your aunt".
"Xiao Qi," my father said on the phone, "Why are you accusing your aunt?
"Didn't she just sell the cosmetics you gave me?
"Now your aunt is mad at you. In my opinion, you should come over and apologize to her."

Mo Xiaoke sent Yan Shu back to the community and sent a WeChat message to Ye Xu when he came out.
"I'll bring you something to eat tonight," she said.
"Forget it, I have no appetite."
Mo Xiaoke could tell that he was not in a good mood these days.
In fact, Ye Xu is always in a bad mood every rainy day. Especially when it rains heavily, he will almost fall into an autistic state, not going out, not answering the phone, not eating or drinking. It is said that other depression patients will be more susceptible to the weather, so Mo Xiaoke didn't think much about it.
"Exercising without eating can easily lead to hypoglycemia," she said.
Before Ye Xu could reply, a voice call suddenly came in.
"Xiao Ke, Xiao Ke." Yan Shu's voice was hoarse and his breathing was rapid, "Help me!"
"What happened?" Mo Xiaoke sat up straight.
"Elevator..."

Mo Xiaoke climbed up to the second floor and called Yan Shu's name while knocking, but there was still no response.
When she climbed to the fourth floor, several masters from the engineering department also came and pried open the elevator door.
The elevator shaft was dim and there was heavy breathing coming from the car overhead.
"It should be the seventh floor, let's go up." Several people said and got into another elevator on the opposite side.
"The person inside is my friend." Mo Xiaoke explained and followed him.
She was startled when the elevator door was pried open again.
Yan Shu was lying on the ground, her hair was disheveled, her eyes were unfocused, and there was no color on her face.
"Wait a minute." The master from the engineering department stretched out his hand to pull her out, but was stopped by Mo Xiaoke.
She had to rule out that Yan Shu had myocardial infarction or heart failure first. Because in the event of this type of problem, casual movement or position changes may increase the risk of death.
"Yan Shu." Mo Xiaoke squatted beside the elevator, calling her name softly and carefully placing his hand on her pulse.
's pulse beat very fast, but Yan Shu did not respond.
"Yan Shu, I'm Xiaoke." Mo Xiaoke came close to her ear and said again.
"Xiao Ke..." Yan Shu's eyes moved, and the next moment, he suddenly pounced over.
"Xiao Ke," she gasped, "help me..."
Mo Xiaoke understood in an instant that Yan Shu's claustrophobia was probably caused by the sudden failure of the elevator.
She helped Yan Shu up, and seeing that his legs were still a little weak, she half-hugged him in her arms.
"It's okay, it's okay..." As Mo Xiaoke comforted softly, Yan Shu's stiff body gradually softened.
"The cool breeze blows gently..." A cell phone rang. She followed the sound and quickly picked up Yan Shu's cell phone from the corner of the elevator.
"You..." As soon as Mo Xiaoke started to speak, he was interrupted by the other party.
"Xiao Qi," an elderly male voice said, "Why are you accusing your aunt? Didn't she just sell the cosmetics you gave her? It's not a big deal. You make her laugh by looking at her."
"Now your aunt is mad at you. In my opinion, you should come over and apologize to her."

Isn’t this the day she worked so hard for? As for Sun Aifang, as long as her father likes her.
In the past few years, as Yan Shu's income has been rising, Sun Aifang's requirements for quality of life have become more and more refined.
Yan Shu not only satisfied her without any compromise, he even went out of his way to recognize her From a purchasing agent you know, I can buy La Mer for Sun Aifang, black bandages, and Chanel No. 5 .
She always felt that the better she was to Sun Aifang, the better Sun Aifang would be to Yan Junqiang.
Yan Shu never expected that because of her kindness, she would be regarded as a big grievance.
"Sister Yan, do you know an Aunt Sun? "Yan Shu had just finished the meeting that day when she saw a message from a familiar purchasing agent.
"Sun Aifang? Yan Shu asked.
"Yes, that's her." "The purchasing agent uploaded a photo, "Look, she asked me to sell these things. When I took a look, why did it look so much like the one you bought from me last week? "
Yan Shu clicked on the picture. This thing is so familiar. Even the handbag that holds them is the same one she took.
"She asked you to help sell it? "Yan Shu still couldn't believe it.
"Yes, he also asked me how much it usually costs. He said he would give me a 10% increase. "The little purchasing agent replied.
Yan Shu is not a temperless person, otherwise she would not be able to sit in this position.
She endured it again and again, and finally took out her mobile phone and made a voice call.
"Aunt Sun, if you don't like these skin care products, you can tell me. Or you can tell me if you need money. Why do you want to resell what I bought you? I don't understand what you mean. "
Sun Aifang didn't say anything at the time. But in the afternoon, Yan Shu had just been rescued from the elevator by Mo Xiaoke, and she received a call from her father.
The man who once loved her most was on someone else's side this time.
6
Mo Xiaoke knew a little about the situation of Yan Shu's family, and he guessed his identity as soon as he heard the other party mention "your aunt".
Sure enough, when she put the phone to Yan Shu's ear, Yan Shu called "Dad" hoarsely.
"Dad, I can't make it right now..." she said with difficulty, the cold sweat on her forehead still not gone.
"It's already after get off work, it's only a few kilometers away, what can't we do?" Yan Junqiang said with dissatisfaction in his tone, "Xiaoqi, do you feel uncomfortable because I'm protecting your aunt?"
"No matter what, your aunt is an elder, and she treats you very well." That's right. She has already told me about the cosmetics. She is used to being thrifty and can't bear to use them. She doesn't want to let you down... She always thinks about you, so you have to know something. "
" Dad, that's not what I meant." Yan Shu explained, her eyes red.
In all these years, Yan Junqiang has never said this to her.
"Uncle..." Mo Xiaoke couldn't see her like this, so he had to help.
"I am Yan Shu's friend Mo Xiaoke. It's not that Yan Shu doesn't want to go over. She was locked in the elevator just now. She was frightened and is still shaking now. So even if you want her to go over and apologize, you may only have to do it tomorrow."
Yan Jun paused for a moment, then spoke in a clearly anxious tone, "Xiao Qi was locked in the elevator?"
"Yes."
"Is there a light?"
"No, the power supply is faulty."
"This child has been afraid of the dark since she was a child. Her mother and I were busy at that time, so we left her at home alone when we couldn't take care of her. This caused a problem." Yan Junqiang's voice was farther away, as if he was talking to the people next to him.
"Then let's go over and see her." Mo Xiaoke heard the voice of a middle-aged woman.
"But her attitude towards you..."
"They are all her own children. Just let her go. Even for you, I can't really hold on to her."
This stepmother is quite reasonable, Mo Xiaoke thought to herself.
She sent Yan Shu home and watched her slowly calm down. She remembered that she had made an appointment with Ye Xu for a run in the evening, so she gave a few instructions and left.
Yan Shu closed the door and lay down on the quilt. Halfway through his sleep, he heard someone ringing the doorbell.
saw Yan Junqiang and Sun Meifang through the peephole, and her head hurt again.
However, unlike what Yan Shu thought was "calling an army to investigate the crime", Yan Junqiang's first sentence was to ask her about her physical condition.
"Fortunately, I have recovered." Yan Shu let the person into the room and turned around to pour water.
"Stop working so hard," Sun Meifang grabbed her, "Look at how pale your face is. I stewed chicken soup and quickly replenished it. But you can't ignore your health just because you are young."
After the woman finished speaking, she raised her chin towards her husband, and Yan Junqiang immediately placed the insulated lunch box he was carrying on the dining table.
"Drink it while it's hot, your aunt has stewed it for a long time." He said.
In fact, Yan Shu has no appetite.
But my father and stepmother have already arrived. This chicken soup is a symbol of my heart and an opportunity for reconciliation.
So she sat at the table obediently, picked up the spoon and took a sip, then looked at Sun Meifang.
"It tastes good, thank you, auntie." Yan Shu decided to go down the steps. As for right or wrong, it's hard for an upright official to handle household chores, so forget it.
"I had a bad attitude this morning. You also know that I am impatient. Don't be angry with me." She said.
7
Someone made a concession, and the atmosphere was naturally harmonious.
Before I had a few sips of the bowl of chicken soup, the door was pushed open and the sound of shoes being changed came from the door.
Several people looked over and shocked the man who came in.
"Yan Yan, these two are..."
"My dad and my stepmother," Yan Shu stood up, walked to his side, turned to look at Yan Junqiang, "Dad, this is Yang Han, my boyfriend."
Yan Junqiang was also startled.
"Oh, Xiaoqi has a boyfriend?" Sun Aifang smiled and smoothed things over, "If I had known it was two people, I would have stewed more chicken soup..."
Before he finished speaking, Yan Junqiang's face turned ugly.
For people in their fifties and sixties, especially men who are fathers in this age group, it is difficult for their daughters to live together before marriage.
Yan Shu naturally knows this.
"It's okay, Auntie, Yang Han doesn't live here." She said and turned to her boyfriend who looked embarrassed. "It's so late, why did you come here suddenly?"
"After working overtime, I met a grilled squid seller. Don't you like to eat it?" Yang Han raised the packing box in his hand.
Yan Junqiang and Sun Aifang glanced at each other.
"Sit down." The old man acted like an elder and took the lead in sitting on the sofa.
Yang Han didn't expect to see his parents so suddenly. He sighed slightly and sat in the direction he pointed.
Yan Shu returned to the dining table, opened the packing box, eating squid in his mouth, but his eyes glanced towards the sofa from time to time.
After the initial surprise, Yan Junqiang did not embarrass Yang Han.
His daughter is not young anymore, he knows it. I mentioned it several times at home and was even a little worried about her marriage. It’s just that Sun Aifang often persuades him, saying that outstanding girls nowadays will not get married too early. After all, you can make your own money and live however you want, without having to look at your husband's family, so there's nothing wrong with it.
Yan Junqiang thought the same thing.
But since you meet someone, you should always ask them, such as when you met them, how long they have been together, what they do at home, and what kind of work you do.
However, the more he asked, the more uncomfortable Yan Junqiang felt.
The two of them have been together for more than three years, and he, the father, has no idea at all.
Could this boy just have a casual conversation with his daughter?
Thinking like this, he looked at Yang Han.
The boy is of medium build and not very handsome, but he is decent-looking and well-dressed. I heard that his parents are both university teachers and he doesn’t look like he would do anything random outside.
"Then when do you plan to get married?" Yan Junqiang asked.
Yang Han just picked up the water and took a sip, and was so shocked by these words that he almost choked.
He turned around and saw that Yan Shu had entered the kitchen, and he felt relieved.
"I originally wanted to propose to her after I finish this busy period," Yang Han's cheeks blushed a little, "I just don't know, uncle, do you think I am qualified?"

Yan Shu finished washing the insulated lunch box, and was pulled by Sun Aifang to ask a few questions. When he came out, Yang Han had already left.
The next morning, Mo Xiaoke called back. After discussing the physical problems, Yan Shu mentioned what happened last night.
"You have a boyfriend?" Mo Xiaoke was also surprised.
Because every time Yan Shu drank too much, he almost always picked her up by himself, so she naturally thought that the other person was single.
"Yeah. He knows that I am allergic to alcohol and has not allowed me to drink. He also said that in sales now, you can't just rely on relationships, but also rely on products to impress customers. At such a young age, he is very naive." Yan Shu complained with a smile.
Mo Xiaoke heard a hint of sweetness in her tone.
"Since you like each other, then just meet the parents. What's so scary?"
"That's not it..." Yan Shu hesitated, "I heard him say marriage proposal... I'm not ready yet."
"What do I need to prepare?"
Mo Xiaoke has limited experience in this area. In her opinion, two people who love each other must stay together for the rest of their lives. So isn’t it natural to get married?
"Psychologically, and his family's conditions are quite good... My profession is also easy for people to misunderstand."
"Are you afraid that his parents won't like you?" Mo Xiaoke finally turned around, "That's something he should handle. Has he never thought about solving these problems after being with you for so long?"
Of course Yang Han has thought about it.
not only thought about it, but also communicated it clearly with his parents. Including that both people have some savings and can jointly make a down payment to buy a house in their names. Both of them have cars, and they will drive their own cars from now on. Even according to Jincheng's custom of not paying much attention to betrothal gifts, his family gave him a symbolic payment of one hundred and eighty thousand, plus a Cartier diamond ring, which was enough.
Love is emotional, but marriage cannot be only emotional.
He wanted Yan Shu to marry him clearly.
The second week after he met Yan Junqiang, although he still did not get a clear attitude from his prospective father-in-law, Yang Han proposed to Yan Shu.
"Do your parents know my career? Do they agree?" Yan Shu asked.
"Of course."
"After I get married, I may often entertain clients..."
"Don't worry," Yang Han smiled, "Times have given women the right to work, and my parents are not antiques."
"My family may not be able to afford a dowry..." Yan Shu still hesitated.
"For me, you are enough."
Yang Han is a relatively veteran cadre, and he has almost never said such sweet words.
Yan Shu broke through the defense immediately.
She nodded almost crying, frightening Yang Han so much.
originally thought that the matter between the two of them would be settled in this way, and the subsequent meeting between the parents of both parties would be nothing more than a formality. After all, they are not young, financially independent, and will live their own lives behind closed doors in the future.
Yan Shu never expected that the problem would eventually come from his side.

"The lowest betrothal gift in our hometown is 180,000 yuan. Yan Shu has been strong since she was a child, and I hope you can give her a long face in this matter. We don't want more, let's take it as 280,000 yuan." At the dinner table, Yan Junqiang said directly.
"That's it." Yang Han's parents looked at each other and still smiled, "No problem. It's for the young couple anyway, just think of it as the start-up capital for their new home."
"My mother-in-law," Sun Aifang laughed dryly and trimmed her hair, "you may have misunderstood."
"In our hometown, there is no reason for girls to take away the bride price. Speaking of which, Bai Aifang Filial piety comes first, even if you marry into someone else's family, you must repay the kindness of your parents. The girl who takes away the bride price will be punished behind her back."
"Is that so?" Yang Han's mother's smile was a little stiff, "That's really different from Jincheng. "
In fact, they all know that Yan Shu, the stepmother, has a son who has just graduated from college.
The couple had no objection to giving money to their son and daughter-in-law. But Sun Aifang was obviously planning to use his family's money to support her own son, and the appearance was too ugly.
Yan Shu naturally understands.
"Auntie..." She was about to speak when Yang Han tugged on her arm.
"Uncle, aunt, let's see what other dishes need to be added? The pumpkin pie in this restaurant is particularly delicious. Would you like to try it, aunt?" he said. The instructions for
are very obvious and very polite. But Sun Aifang made up her mind not to answer.
"Yan Shu's father is currently retired, and his wages are often in arrears. I have no income... Alas, our situation is different from yours. You know that when people get old, they always need some security." She said.
Hearing this, Yan Shu couldn't help but darken his face.
She bought the house, and the full payment has been transferred to Yan Junqiang's name. She even pays the water and electricity bills for the property at home. Could it be that Sun Aifang has not been protected by all the things she has been asking for?
Yan Shu looked at his father, but Yan Junqiang just sat there without saying a word.
With him like this, in Yan Shu's eyes, today's drama was undoubtedly something the two of them had discussed long ago. But she didn't know that Yan Junqiang was also in trouble. Before
came, Sun Aifang had already shed a few tears.
"Xiaoqi's mother-in-law's family is well off, and I'm happy for her. But when I think about my Zhigang, a mother like me will not be able to buy a house in the future, and I won't even be able to get a bride price, and I feel sorry for the child."
Be obedient, and Zhigang is also his stepson. After comforting Sun Aifang, Yan Junqiang thought over and over again all night, and finally convinced himself that the man was willing to pay more for the dowry and also expressed his sincerity to his daughter. Moreover, it is not impossible for Yang Han's family to get this money.
Just made up his mind, facing his daughter's gaze, he subconsciously looked away.
"Auntie," he didn't know how long it had passed before he heard Yan Shu say, "Let's eat first. This is a meeting for everyone today. There is no rush anyway. We will discuss the matter later."
Yan Jun breathed a sigh of relief.
"Yes, eat, eat." He stretched out his chopsticks, "There are so many dishes, and they won't taste good when they are cold."
10
She took a taxi to Yan Junqiang and his wife, and asked Yang Han to take his parents back. Yan Shu stood alone at the door of the hotel, feeling lonely as never before.
No matter what difficulties she encountered outside, she always felt warm when she thought of home. Because her father stood behind her, and he would protect her unconditionally. Himself.
But now, it was this person who stabbed her in the heart.
Are people really so changeable?
Where is the man who refused to remarry because he was afraid of being wronged?
Yan Shu hugged herself and took a deep breath. "Mo Xiaoke's voice suddenly came from the side.
A senior fellow from the martial arts team gathered together, and when she came out after eating, she saw this figure.
Most of the time, as long as she was not drinking, Yan Shu stood upright and straight, walking with wind, a very typical heroine image. However, at this moment, her shoulders were drooping, and she was indescribably tired.
If she wasn't really familiar, Mo Xiaoke would hardly recognize it.
"What happened? "She asked.
"No," Yan Shu smiled, "I just met Yang Han's parents. "
" Are they making things difficult for you? "
Actually, Mo Xiaoke thinks this is unlikely.
" How could it be? "Sure enough, Yan Shu shook his head, "I'm still very well-educated. And if Yang Han allows them to embarrass me, then he should get away from me. "
"It's okay if it's not difficult," Mo Xiaoke tossed the car keys, "Have you driven yet? Can I take you back? "
" Are you free? " Yan Shu asked back. Seeing the other party nodding, he seemed to think about it and suddenly smiled.
"Then come and have a drink with me. Just treat it as providing psychological counseling services, and charge as much as you should. "
He said he had two drinks, but in fact he just found a clear bar and ordered two bottles of sparkling water.
However, he didn't know whether it was because of the atmosphere or something else. Soon Yan Shu felt that he had fainted.
"You know what, Xiao Ke. She looked up at the warm yellow light and said, "I probably don't have a home anymore." "
" what? Aren't you getting married soon? "
" is the original home. The person I grew up with no longer loves me. "
Mo Xiaoke saw two lines of tears sliding down Yan Shu's cheeks, but she ignored them.
"I hope he is happy, I really hope it. When I first joined the company, it was too hard and tiring. Sometimes I was afraid that I would suddenly die of , , or simply die of alcohol poisoning. So I bought a term life insurance , worth three million, and the beneficiary was my dad. I thought, even if I die, with this money he can at least spend his remaining years in peace.
"He is the person I love most. I wish I could hold the whole world in his hands. How can he be so willing to be so distant from me? Even if he wants me to help that boy, he can tell me directly? I am his daughter, why would he do this?"
When Yan Shu said these words, Yan Shu's face and voice were calm, and only tears kept flowing.
Mo Xiaoke took out a tissue and stuffed it into her hand.
"Your life is your own. No matter what others say, you have to make a choice for yourself." She said.
11
Talking and crying makes people thirsty easily. When Yang Han arrived, the two of them had already finished several bottles of sparkling water.
Yan Shu was curled up on the sofa, while Mo Xiaoke received a emergency and was about to leave.
"Why are you crying?" As he passed by, Mo Xiaoke heard Yang Han say, "Don't worry about my parents, I'll take care of it."
She turned around and saw the man raising his hand and patting Yan Shu's face like he was coaxing a child.
In fact, Mo Xiaoke was a little envious.
What Yan Shu met was a man worth relying on.
"What are you solving? It's not them who have the problem now." The emotions were vented, and Yan Shu became the marketing director who was in charge again.
"Let's go and get the certificate tomorrow." She raised her head and looked at Yang Han, as if she had made a decision.
Yang Han was stunned, and he couldn't believe it when he reacted, "What?"
"Get the certificate first, and cook the rice. Then we should prepare for the wedding. The conditions will be as agreed at the beginning, 88,000 bride gifts.If they accept it, they come to the wedding. If they don't accept it, there's nothing they can do about it. At the end of the day, I am the one marrying you, and other people’s opinions are just for reference. "
" Are you serious? Yang Han bent down and looked at her carefully, still a little hesitant, "Then what will you and your dad do in the future?" "
" How should I be filial to him? That is my responsibility as a daughter. As for what he wants to do to me..." Yan Shu took a long breath, with a wry smile on his lips, "Let him do it. "
Yan Shu's character is actually very resolute, except for her father.
Now that she has made up her mind, there is no reason to change it. So the next day, she dressed up, put on makeup, and was happy Yang Han received the marriage certificate.
Waiting for Yan Junqiang to hear the news from others, the wedding room has been chosen, the wedding ring has been purchased, and even the wedding company has signed the contract.
"She doesn't take me as a father seriously. Yan Junqiang was angry and embarrassed. When he got home, he couldn't help but complain to Sun Aifang, "If my husband's family really doesn't want the bride price, I can't really disagree for this reason." I am marrying my daughter, not selling my daughter. Why can't she discuss it with me? "
" You are also doing your best for Xiao Qi, but when the child is older, how can he understand his parents' feelings? Sun Aifang got angry and then persuaded him with a smile, "But now she has a wedding, and we should help organize it. We still have to help. After all, they are biological father and daughter, how can they have an overnight feud? "
After saying this, Sun Aifang's face dropped.
Her son graduated from college this year, but failed to pass the postgraduate entrance examination, and the employment situation was not good. The job he found cost several thousand yuan a month. In the future, she would have to consider the various expenses of buying a house and starting a family, right? But what ability does she have? If she doesn't count on Yan Shu, who can she count on?
Fortunately, what Sun Aifang is good at in this life is to judge the situation. After receiving the certificate, Yang Han's parents can ignore them if they talk about the bride price. At least they can maintain their relationship with Yan Shu and see everything later.
12
With Sun Aifang in the middle, Yan Shu went home and confessed his mistake to Yan Junqiang. Reconciled quickly.
Two months later, Yan Shu bought Yan Junqiang and Sun Aifang new clothes each, and took them to the banquet hall where the wedding was held decently.
There were many guests at the scene. According to Jincheng's custom, a table was set up at the door, where Yan Shu's assistant distributed wedding candies and received gifts.
Yang Han's parents have been teachers for half their lives, and they have students all over the world. In addition, Yan Shu and Yang Han are both company managers, so they have extensive interpersonal relationships, including many classmates and friends.
So the assistant’s backpack for collecting gift money was quickly filled. There was a banquet over there, so she went to the lounge and counted it, and it was exactly 120,000, so she sent a message to Yan Shu.
“Yang Han’s parents said they didn’t want it, so they gave it to us. You keep one hundred thousand and give the remaining twenty thousand to my dad later.
After all, Yan Shu still couldn't bear to be cruel to Yan Junqiang.
After toasting, eating, and seeing off the guests, it was already three o'clock in the afternoon.
"It's really tiring to get married, but fortunately it's just this once in this life." " Yan Shu beat her waist and complained to Yang Han.
Yang Han just laughed.
Back in the lounge, Yan Shu remembered the gift and called the assistant over to ask, but the other person looked embarrassed.
"Your father said that they wanted to use money, so they took the money first. "The assistant bit her lip, "I was going to call you, but your stepmother scolded me, saying that I didn't respect your father and wanted to take charge of the house for you. How dare you tell me? I'm just a handyman. "
Yan Shu was stunned.
Even Yang Han didn't expect that his father-in-law, who thought he was reasonable, could do such a thing.
"How could this be possible? "Yan Shu glanced at her husband, and her face turned red.
To be honest, there were more gifts, mainly from her parents-in-law's colleagues and students. Her parents-in-law gave it to her, and it was for both of them. Now that Yan Junqiang has taken it away, how will she face her parents-in-law in the future? What will others think of her?
Thinking of this, Yan Shu couldn't hold back, and walked toward the door with her skirt in hand.
"You need to use a larger packaging box for this. Your box is too thin, is there a better one?"
In the banquet hall, Sun Aifang was instructing the waiters to pack the food preparation table, while Yan Junqiang was sitting next to him with his eyes closed and concentrating.
"Dad," Yan Shu stood directly in front of him and stretched out his hand, "Where is today's gift?"
Yan Junqiang opened his eyes and saw her face.
"Why is it inappropriate?" Sun Aifang heard this and immediately came over and laughed, "Xiaoqi, your parents-in-law's monthly pension is more than 10,000 yuan, which is not enough. We are a family, whoever takes it does not deserve it, do they still have to share half of it?"
"My parents-in-law are indeed not enough." Yan Shu now particularly hates her old green tea look, so she couldn't help but raise her voice, "But aunt, if others don't want it, you can't take it yourself. . Don’t ask what self-pickup is, you don’t need me to tell you, right? "
" Xiaoqi! There were waiters around. Yan Junqiang couldn't lose face and stood up immediately, "Your aunt is my wife one day, and your elder the next." I worked so hard to raise you so big, and just for such a small amount of money, are you going to show off to your father? ”
13
Yan Shu was persuaded to leave by Yang Han, and Yan Junqiang and his wife returned home packed with bags.
He didn’t speak to Sun Aifang along the way.
"The old saying that girls are outgoing is true." After entering the house, Sun Aifang glanced at him, "We are both raising the eldest child alone, but after all, I am a son, and even if my daughter-in-law comes in in the future, she is still our family. "
"Why is Xiaoqi no longer part of our family? Didn't she buy all the clothes you wear?" Yan Junqiang was still a little unhappy when others said about her own daughter, "Besides, if you didn't insist on taking the money, Xiaoqi wouldn't have paid the price. face. "
" What happened to us taking the money? The money she keeps is the joint property of the couple. If the two of us can't get along in the future, there will still be half of Yang Han. It's different if you invest in Zhigang's company. That's called dry stock. If you make money in the future, you're all one family. How can you still treat Xiaoqi badly? "
" That's what he said, but..." Yan Junqiang thought of the way his daughter looked at him. After all, he felt a little uncomfortable. He didn't even eat dinner and went into the house early to lie down.
Sun Aifang snorted coldly in her heart when she saw him like that.
Your daughter feels bad for taking this little money? I also serve daddy for her. Don't you think I'm easy to bully if I don't speak.
Yan Shu didn't know what his father and stepmother were thinking.
She is focused on the project.
On the third day of the wedding vacation, the boss called and said that there was an error in the bid for a major project of the company, and the client requested that the bid be cancelled. The business manager in charge of the project is not afraid of boiling water. She accepts the responsibility anyway, and if it doesn't work, she will be fired. People can't open
. That's a thing for later. What needs to be solved now is the problem of abolishing the standard.
Yan Shu dragged her husband and flew back from Lijiang overnight to read the project information and review the preferences of the client's leadership. She made an appointment with him the next night, toasted and admitted her mistake. She pretended to be a grandson all night, and later sponsored a living allowance for her children who were studying abroad. At least she got an opportunity to revise the bid document.
When Mo Xiaoke went to pick her up, Yan Shu had already vomited several times. The doctor said that the gastric mucosa was severely damaged and immediately issued a hospitalization order.
I couldn't hide it this time. When Yang Han arrived, he felt distressed and helpless.
After losing several bottles of liquid throughout the night, before Yan Shu woke up in the morning, Yan Junqiang called.
"Dad," Yang Han walked out of the ward with his mobile phone, "I'm Yang Han. What can you do so early?"
Hearing that it was his son-in-law, Yan Jun paused and couldn't say anything about asking for money.
Sun Aifang didn't know where she heard the news last night. Yan Shu and his advertising company had received last year's commission.
"An ordinary sales manager has three or four hundred thousand yuan. For someone like Xiaoqi, who would believe that he doesn't have seven or eight hundred thousand yuan?" She said while looking at Yan Junqiang's face, "You also know that we Zhigang have to make money to buy a house by ourselves. To make money, you need capital. Now that their company is undergoing share reform, others are selling houses and land. Zhigang is the least likely to invest.
If you are serious about us being a family, let Xiaoqi give you the alimony in one lump sum. When Zhigang uses the money to make money, isn't it the best of both worlds? "
"How can that be done?" As soon as she finished speaking, Yan Junqiang shook his head.
His daughter is already angry with him. How can she ask for money at this time?
But who is Sun Aifang? There is no ambiguity about whether she is soft or hard. She was reasonable and tearful, but Yan Junqiang was defeated in the end.
Anyway, Yan Shu now pays quite a lot every month, so it should be okay to make an advance, right?
But he didn’t expect Yang Han to answer the phone.
"I..." Yan Junqiang hesitated, "Did you have a good time in Lijiang?"
"Dad, we have returned..."
"Yang Han, whose phone number is it?" Yan Shu's voice came from the ward.
"Dad asked us how we were having fun." Yang Han had no choice but to hand her the phone.
"Dad... it's fine," this was the first time the father and daughter talked on the phone after the wedding. They were inevitably a little embarrassed. "Next time, I'll sign up a group for you and your aunt to come to Lijiang to play."
Both father and daughter are trying to ease the relationship, and the conversation is very stiff, but even so, Yan Junqiang just doesn't hang up the phone.
A good father is better than a daughter. Yan Shu knew that her father was going to give her another problem.
14
Sure enough, after asking "Is it hot over there" three times, Yan Junqiang finally expressed his intention.
"Xiao Qi, Zhigang's company is undergoing shareholding reform, and he also wants to invest. I heard that it can increase tenfold after listing. I thought..." He paused, "As a stepfather, I can't give him anything, so I just want to give him a share of capital to help him earn some money and settle down."
"How much do you want to come up with?" Yan Shu asked.
"Did you get a bonus?" Yan Junqiang said, his face getting hot, "Is it 800,000?"
"800,000, you want so much?"
Not only Yan Shu, but also Yang Han on the side were a little surprised.
"It's not for you, it's an investment."
"Isn't Zhigang in a startup company?" Speaking of this, Yan Shu shook his head, "Dad, nine out of ten startup companies will fail, let alone go public. You believe it when you hear him say it. They all want to make huge profits, how can it be that easy?"
After being taught such a lesson by his daughter, Yan Junqiang suddenly felt lost.
"Don't worry about whether it's easy or not," he frowned, and his attitude became tougher, "I'm just asking you if you have any? Just treat it as what you gave me, and what I do is my own business."
"But dad..."
"At worst, I will pay alimony in advance. You won't need to give it to me no matter how old I live, and I won't need you even if I die. "Buy it out for a cent, okay?" "Buy it out," Yan Shu said with a sigh, "What about buying it out, is it a father-daughter relationship? "
" That's okay if you want to. "
" What if I don't give it?"
Yan Junqiang choked and turned to see Sun Aifang with a mocking look on his face.
"I am your dad," he raised his voice, "I raised you when you were young, and you have to support me when I am old!"
Mo Xiaoke followed the nurse in and happened to hear this sentence.
"It's time to get the injection." Seeing Yan Shu's chest rising and falling and her eyes turning red, the nurse quickly reminded her in a low voice.
"I got the injection, Sister Yan." Mo Xiaoke suddenly let out a voice, like thunder.
Yan Shu looked at her in surprise.
"Lie down quickly. You are hospitalized. Control your emotions. Your body is important." Mo Xiaoke continued to speak loudly, and even his dantian became strong.
The next moment, Yan Junqiang asked, "Xiao Qi, weren't you playing in Lijiang? Why are you hospitalized?"
"It's okay." Yan Shu subconsciously wanted to report good news rather than bad news.
Since her mother passed away, this has become her habitual action because she feels sorry for her father.
"Sister Yan," Mo Xiaoke glared at her and lowered his voice, "seize the opportunity."
Yan Shu looked at her husband.
"Dad," Yang Han answered the phone, "We are at Jincheng Central Hospital. Yan Yan needs treatment now. I will talk to you later."
15
"Why are you bothering my dad? It's nothing serious." After hanging up the phone, Yan Shu felt helpless.
"Do you know what doting is?" Yang Han asked, "If parents dote on their children, the children will not be grateful. If you dote on your dad, the results seem to be similar."
"My dad is not easy. I just hope that he can be happy for the rest of his life..." Yan Shu defended.
"Sister Yan," Mo Xiaoke put the daily necessities he bought for her into the cabinet, "Originally, I said it was inappropriate for your family's affairs. But I really feel that you are also responsible for your father's attitude towards you now."
"You have to shoulder everything on your own and give you what you ask for. Even the closest relatives are the same."
"I understand." Yan Shu smiled bitterly, "In fact, I already understand that he can directly take the gift money. But you know, habits of more than ten years have to be slowly changed."
"Then start changing it from today." Yang Han patted her shoulder, "Let me see how you saved your old father who was crooked."
Yan Shu thought.
But Yan Junqiang didn't come.
On the second day and the third day, until Yan Shu was about to be discharged from the hospital, Yan Junqiang did not show up and did not even make a phone call.
"You said nothing will happen to my dad, right?" After being disappointed, Yan Shu began to worry.
Just when she was hesitating whether to call or not, she saw Yan Junqiang enter the ward in disgrace.
"Dad?" Yan Shu was surprised.
"Fortunately it's not you." Yan Junqiang wiped the sweat from his forehead, "I just went upstairs and saw several nurses pushing the hospital bed towards the operating room. I was shocked. What's wrong with you? Is it serious?"
Yan Shu and Yang Han looked at each other.
"You still asked, and I haven't come for several days." She said deliberately.
"Why don't I want to come? It's not your aunt Jia Zhigang," Yan Junqiang said with a bad expression. "Didn't it happen before the shareholding reform? The result was that he was a liar. The boss took away all the money. We invested 100,000 ourselves and borrowed 500,000 to 600,000 from our classmates. Now they are urging us to pay back the money. If we don't pay back, we will have to go to court."
Speaking of this, he glanced at Yan Shu and said, "Do you have any money? No matter what, it is urgent. I have already given your wedding gift money to others, but it is not enough. Your aunt cries at home every day, fearing that Zhigang will become an old man and his future will be ruined."
Yan Shu did not expect that his father came to visit him and asked for money.
To be honest, at this point, she had to admit that what Mo Xiaoke and Yang Han said were right. If this continues, father and daughter will really drift apart.
Thinking of this, Yan Shu leaned on the bedside, suddenly covered his stomach and took a breath.
"What's wrong with your stomach?" Yan Junqiang's attention was immediately diverted.
"I didn't want to tell you," Yan Shu's voice weakened, "Stomach bleeding, drinking."
"Ah," Yan Junqiang raised his voice, "Why do you, a girl, drink?"
"Me neither. I want to drink. There is a problem with the client, and he came back from Lijiang overnight. If he doesn’t drink, the problem will not be solved. What can I do about this? "
" What does the doctor say now?" Yan Junqiang said this after holding back for a long time.
"The gastric mucosa is too thin and needs long-term care. If it continues like this, he may collapse at any time."
"...Is it so serious? Can we not drink alcohol in the future?"
Yan Shu smiled, bitterly.
"How is it possible? You have to make money. It's okay. It's not the first time. I've been used to it for so many years." She said.
"Why don't you stop doing this job... the money is enough, and there is Yang Han." Yan Junqiang couldn't help but say.
"It's more convenient for me," Yan Shu secretly winked at her husband while adjusting her bangs, "If you need money, I can't give it to you with Yang Han's earnings."
16
Yan Junqiang was suddenly speechless.
Yan Shu was like Little Li's flying knife on TV. He couldn't see the moves, but the swords hit the target.
In the past, every time his daughter came home, she would look calm and relaxed when talking about work. As time went by, he thought that his daughter had skills and money came easily, so he gradually felt at ease. .
He even planned to continue asking for the eight hundred thousand from her.
But what if it was Yan Shu's hard-earned money?
Yan Junqiang clenched his fists, feeling his face and eyes burning.
"Dad," Yan Shu's voice became weaker, "I have paid off part of the mortgage in advance. If you can wait, I will be discharged from the hospital today." No matter what, get a big order first, and then discuss with the leader to advance the commission..."
After saying this, she pressed her hand on her stomach again.
Yang Han looked away.
He always knew that Yan Shu was not a fool, but he didn't realize that if she wanted to act, ordinary people really couldn't take the role.
Yan Junqiang is also an ordinary person.
"Don't say it, your health is not good yet. Yan Junqiang lowered his head, his voice a little dull, "I won't let you exchange your life for money." "
" It's okay, I can hold on. "Yan Shu said this, but took a few breaths.
"What are you holding on for? Your face will turn pale. "
The more she tried to be brave, the more uncomfortable Yan Junqiang felt.
He suddenly remembered that for Yan Shu's birthday when she was ten years old, he bought a cake for her to make a wish. The little girl closed her eyes and clasped her hands together, and whispered, "I hope my father will always be happy. "
That's his daughter.
"Xiao Qi, about the gift money," Yan Junqiang still lowered his head, "it was my father who was wrong... He is still confused when he is old, and it caused trouble for you... The house in our hometown will be transferred to your name after you are discharged from the hospital. Although it is not worth much money, it is still a thought. "
Yan Shu didn't dare to stare at Yan Junqiang, because for a moment, she felt that her father was about to cry.
Later, Yan Shu didn't know how Zhigang's matter was resolved. She only heard that Sun Aifang cried for a few days, and Yan Junqiang said she wanted a divorce. She immediately became honest.
Yan Junqiang occasionally called Yan Shu, always reminding her not to drink, and the money was about the same.
A few months later, during a night run, Mo Xiaoke met Mo Xiaoke by chance. Yan Junqiang and his daughter.
Yan Shu held her father's arm, and they were alone, walking on the river embankment and chatting quietly.
Walking under the willow tree, a willow leaf fell on her shoulder.
Yan Junqiang raised his hand, picked it up for her, and patted it carefully.
"Dad is old," Mo Xiaoke heard Yan Junqiang say, "but if Yang Han bullies you, dad will have to beat that kid in the middle of the night. "
" Well, I told him, let's see if he still dares. "Yan Shu was amused by his words.
Mo Xiaoke looked at Yan Shu's smiling face and remembered one night when she said that the person who grew up with me no longer loves me.
Now that person is back.
Yan Shu, she should be very happy, right?

."It's okay, Auntie, Yang Han doesn't live here." She said and turned to her boyfriend who looked embarrassed. "It's so late, why did you come here suddenly?"
"After working overtime, I met a grilled squid seller. Don't you like to eat it?" Yang Han raised the packing box in his hand.
Yan Junqiang and Sun Aifang glanced at each other.
"Sit down." The old man acted like an elder and took the lead in sitting on the sofa.
Yang Han didn't expect to see his parents so suddenly. He sighed slightly and sat in the direction he pointed.
Yan Shu returned to the dining table, opened the packing box, eating squid in his mouth, but his eyes glanced towards the sofa from time to time.
After the initial surprise, Yan Junqiang did not embarrass Yang Han.
His daughter is not young anymore, he knows it. I mentioned it several times at home and was even a little worried about her marriage. It’s just that Sun Aifang often persuades him, saying that outstanding girls nowadays will not get married too early. After all, you can make your own money and live however you want, without having to look at your husband's family, so there's nothing wrong with it.
Yan Junqiang thought the same thing.
But since you meet someone, you should always ask them, such as when you met them, how long they have been together, what they do at home, and what kind of work you do.
However, the more he asked, the more uncomfortable Yan Junqiang felt.
The two of them have been together for more than three years, and he, the father, has no idea at all.
Could this boy just have a casual conversation with his daughter?
Thinking like this, he looked at Yang Han.
The boy is of medium build and not very handsome, but he is decent-looking and well-dressed. I heard that his parents are both university teachers and he doesn’t look like he would do anything random outside.
"Then when do you plan to get married?" Yan Junqiang asked.
Yang Han just picked up the water and took a sip, and was so shocked by these words that he almost choked.
He turned around and saw that Yan Shu had entered the kitchen, and he felt relieved.
"I originally wanted to propose to her after I finish this busy period," Yang Han's cheeks blushed a little, "I just don't know, uncle, do you think I am qualified?"
8
Yan Shu finished washing the insulated lunch box, and was pulled by Sun Aifang to ask a few questions. When he came out, Yang Han had already left.
The next morning, Mo Xiaoke called back. After discussing the physical problems, Yan Shu mentioned what happened last night.
"You have a boyfriend?" Mo Xiaoke was also surprised.
Because every time Yan Shu drank too much, he almost always picked her up by himself, so she naturally thought that the other person was single.
"Yeah. He knows that I am allergic to alcohol and has not allowed me to drink. He also said that in sales now, you can't just rely on relationships, but also rely on products to impress customers. At such a young age, he is very naive." Yan Shu complained with a smile.
Mo Xiaoke heard a hint of sweetness in her tone.
"Since you like each other, then just meet the parents. What's so scary?"
"That's not it..." Yan Shu hesitated, "I heard him say marriage proposal... I'm not ready yet."
"What do I need to prepare?"
Mo Xiaoke has limited experience in this area. In her opinion, two people who love each other must stay together for the rest of their lives. So isn’t it natural to get married?
"Psychologically, and his family's conditions are quite good... My profession is also easy for people to misunderstand."
"Are you afraid that his parents won't like you?" Mo Xiaoke finally turned around, "That's something he should handle. Has he never thought about solving these problems after being with you for so long?"
Of course Yang Han has thought about it.
not only thought about it, but also communicated it clearly with his parents. Including that both people have some savings and can jointly make a down payment to buy a house in their names. Both of them have cars, and they will drive their own cars from now on. Even according to Jincheng's custom of not paying much attention to betrothal gifts, his family gave him a symbolic payment of one hundred and eighty thousand, plus a Cartier diamond ring, which was enough.
Love is emotional, but marriage cannot be only emotional.
He wanted Yan Shu to marry him clearly.
The second week after he met Yan Junqiang, although he still did not get a clear attitude from his prospective father-in-law, Yang Han proposed to Yan Shu.
"Do your parents know my career? Do they agree?" Yan Shu asked.
"Of course."
"After I get married, I may often entertain clients..."
"Don't worry," Yang Han smiled, "Times have given women the right to work, and my parents are not antiques."
"My family may not be able to afford a dowry..." Yan Shu still hesitated.
"For me, you are enough."
Yang Han is a relatively veteran cadre, and he has almost never said such sweet words.
Yan Shu broke through the defense immediately.
She nodded almost crying, frightening Yang Han so much.
originally thought that the matter between the two of them would be settled in this way, and the subsequent meeting between the parents of both parties would be nothing more than a formality. After all, they are not young, financially independent, and will live their own lives behind closed doors in the future.
Yan Shu never expected that the problem would eventually come from his side.

"The lowest betrothal gift in our hometown is 180,000 yuan. Yan Shu has been strong since she was a child, and I hope you can give her a long face in this matter. We don't want more, let's take it as 280,000 yuan." At the dinner table, Yan Junqiang said directly.
"That's it." Yang Han's parents looked at each other and still smiled, "No problem. It's for the young couple anyway, just think of it as the start-up capital for their new home."
"My mother-in-law," Sun Aifang laughed dryly and trimmed her hair, "you may have misunderstood."
"In our hometown, there is no reason for girls to take away the bride price. Speaking of which, Bai Aifang Filial piety comes first, even if you marry into someone else's family, you must repay the kindness of your parents. The girl who takes away the bride price will be punished behind her back."
"Is that so?" Yang Han's mother's smile was a little stiff, "That's really different from Jincheng. "
In fact, they all know that Yan Shu, the stepmother, has a son who has just graduated from college.
The couple had no objection to giving money to their son and daughter-in-law. But Sun Aifang was obviously planning to use his family's money to support her own son, and the appearance was too ugly.
Yan Shu naturally understands.
"Auntie..." She was about to speak when Yang Han tugged on her arm.
"Uncle, aunt, let's see what other dishes need to be added? The pumpkin pie in this restaurant is particularly delicious. Would you like to try it, aunt?" he said. The instructions for
are very obvious and very polite. But Sun Aifang made up her mind not to answer.
"Yan Shu's father is currently retired, and his wages are often in arrears. I have no income... Alas, our situation is different from yours. You know that when people get old, they always need some security." She said.
Hearing this, Yan Shu couldn't help but darken his face.
She bought the house, and the full payment has been transferred to Yan Junqiang's name. She even pays the water and electricity bills for the property at home. Could it be that Sun Aifang has not been protected by all the things she has been asking for?
Yan Shu looked at his father, but Yan Junqiang just sat there without saying a word.
With him like this, in Yan Shu's eyes, today's drama was undoubtedly something the two of them had discussed long ago. But she didn't know that Yan Junqiang was also in trouble. Before
came, Sun Aifang had already shed a few tears.
"Xiaoqi's mother-in-law's family is well off, and I'm happy for her. But when I think about my Zhigang, a mother like me will not be able to buy a house in the future, and I won't even be able to get a bride price, and I feel sorry for the child."
Be obedient, and Zhigang is also his stepson. After comforting Sun Aifang, Yan Junqiang thought over and over again all night, and finally convinced himself that the man was willing to pay more for the dowry and also expressed his sincerity to his daughter. Moreover, it is not impossible for Yang Han's family to get this money.
Just made up his mind, facing his daughter's gaze, he subconsciously looked away.
"Auntie," he didn't know how long it had passed before he heard Yan Shu say, "Let's eat first. This is a meeting for everyone today. There is no rush anyway. We will discuss the matter later."
Yan Jun breathed a sigh of relief.
"Yes, eat, eat." He stretched out his chopsticks, "There are so many dishes, and they won't taste good when they are cold."
10
She took a taxi to Yan Junqiang and his wife, and asked Yang Han to take his parents back. Yan Shu stood alone at the door of the hotel, feeling lonely as never before.
No matter what difficulties she encountered outside, she always felt warm when she thought of home. Because her father stood behind her, and he would protect her unconditionally. Himself.
But now, it was this person who stabbed her in the heart.
Are people really so changeable?
Where is the man who refused to remarry because he was afraid of being wronged?
Yan Shu hugged herself and took a deep breath. "Mo Xiaoke's voice suddenly came from the side.
A senior fellow from the martial arts team gathered together, and when she came out after eating, she saw this figure.
Most of the time, as long as she was not drinking, Yan Shu stood upright and straight, walking with wind, a very typical heroine image. However, at this moment, her shoulders were drooping, and she was indescribably tired.
If she wasn't really familiar, Mo Xiaoke would hardly recognize it.
"What happened? "She asked.
"No," Yan Shu smiled, "I just met Yang Han's parents. "
" Are they making things difficult for you? "
Actually, Mo Xiaoke thinks this is unlikely.
" How could it be? "Sure enough, Yan Shu shook his head, "I'm still very well-educated. And if Yang Han allows them to embarrass me, then he should get away from me. "
"It's okay if it's not difficult," Mo Xiaoke tossed the car keys, "Have you driven yet? Can I take you back? "
" Are you free? " Yan Shu asked back. Seeing the other party nodding, he seemed to think about it and suddenly smiled.
"Then come and have a drink with me. Just treat it as providing psychological counseling services, and charge as much as you should. "
He said he had two drinks, but in fact he just found a clear bar and ordered two bottles of sparkling water.
However, he didn't know whether it was because of the atmosphere or something else. Soon Yan Shu felt that he had fainted.
"You know what, Xiao Ke. She looked up at the warm yellow light and said, "I probably don't have a home anymore." "
" what? Aren't you getting married soon? "
" is the original home. The person I grew up with no longer loves me. "
Mo Xiaoke saw two lines of tears sliding down Yan Shu's cheeks, but she ignored them.
"I hope he is happy, I really hope it. When I first joined the company, it was too hard and tiring. Sometimes I was afraid that I would suddenly die of , , or simply die of alcohol poisoning. So I bought a term life insurance , worth three million, and the beneficiary was my dad. I thought, even if I die, with this money he can at least spend his remaining years in peace.
"He is the person I love most. I wish I could hold the whole world in his hands. How can he be so willing to be so distant from me? Even if he wants me to help that boy, he can tell me directly? I am his daughter, why would he do this?"
When Yan Shu said these words, Yan Shu's face and voice were calm, and only tears kept flowing.
Mo Xiaoke took out a tissue and stuffed it into her hand.
"Your life is your own. No matter what others say, you have to make a choice for yourself." She said.
11
Talking and crying makes people thirsty easily. When Yang Han arrived, the two of them had already finished several bottles of sparkling water.
Yan Shu was curled up on the sofa, while Mo Xiaoke received a emergency and was about to leave.
"Why are you crying?" As he passed by, Mo Xiaoke heard Yang Han say, "Don't worry about my parents, I'll take care of it."
She turned around and saw the man raising his hand and patting Yan Shu's face like he was coaxing a child.
In fact, Mo Xiaoke was a little envious.
What Yan Shu met was a man worth relying on.
"What are you solving? It's not them who have the problem now." The emotions were vented, and Yan Shu became the marketing director who was in charge again.
"Let's go and get the certificate tomorrow." She raised her head and looked at Yang Han, as if she had made a decision.
Yang Han was stunned, and he couldn't believe it when he reacted, "What?"
"Get the certificate first, and cook the rice. Then we should prepare for the wedding. The conditions will be as agreed at the beginning, 88,000 bride gifts.If they accept it, they come to the wedding. If they don't accept it, there's nothing they can do about it. At the end of the day, I am the one marrying you, and other people’s opinions are just for reference. "
" Are you serious? Yang Han bent down and looked at her carefully, still a little hesitant, "Then what will you and your dad do in the future?" "
" How should I be filial to him? That is my responsibility as a daughter. As for what he wants to do to me..." Yan Shu took a long breath, with a wry smile on his lips, "Let him do it. "
Yan Shu's character is actually very resolute, except for her father.
Now that she has made up her mind, there is no reason to change it. So the next day, she dressed up, put on makeup, and was happy Yang Han received the marriage certificate.
Waiting for Yan Junqiang to hear the news from others, the wedding room has been chosen, the wedding ring has been purchased, and even the wedding company has signed the contract.
"She doesn't take me as a father seriously. Yan Junqiang was angry and embarrassed. When he got home, he couldn't help but complain to Sun Aifang, "If my husband's family really doesn't want the bride price, I can't really disagree for this reason." I am marrying my daughter, not selling my daughter. Why can't she discuss it with me? "
" You are also doing your best for Xiao Qi, but when the child is older, how can he understand his parents' feelings? Sun Aifang got angry and then persuaded him with a smile, "But now she has a wedding, and we should help organize it. We still have to help. After all, they are biological father and daughter, how can they have an overnight feud? "
After saying this, Sun Aifang's face dropped.
Her son graduated from college this year, but failed to pass the postgraduate entrance examination, and the employment situation was not good. The job he found cost several thousand yuan a month. In the future, she would have to consider the various expenses of buying a house and starting a family, right? But what ability does she have? If she doesn't count on Yan Shu, who can she count on?
Fortunately, what Sun Aifang is good at in this life is to judge the situation. After receiving the certificate, Yang Han's parents can ignore them if they talk about the bride price. At least they can maintain their relationship with Yan Shu and see everything later.
12
With Sun Aifang in the middle, Yan Shu went home and confessed his mistake to Yan Junqiang. Reconciled quickly.
Two months later, Yan Shu bought Yan Junqiang and Sun Aifang new clothes each, and took them to the banquet hall where the wedding was held decently.
There were many guests at the scene. According to Jincheng's custom, a table was set up at the door, where Yan Shu's assistant distributed wedding candies and received gifts.
Yang Han's parents have been teachers for half their lives, and they have students all over the world. In addition, Yan Shu and Yang Han are both company managers, so they have extensive interpersonal relationships, including many classmates and friends.
So the assistant’s backpack for collecting gift money was quickly filled. There was a banquet over there, so she went to the lounge and counted it, and it was exactly 120,000, so she sent a message to Yan Shu.
“Yang Han’s parents said they didn’t want it, so they gave it to us. You keep one hundred thousand and give the remaining twenty thousand to my dad later.
After all, Yan Shu still couldn't bear to be cruel to Yan Junqiang.
After toasting, eating, and seeing off the guests, it was already three o'clock in the afternoon.
"It's really tiring to get married, but fortunately it's just this once in this life." " Yan Shu beat her waist and complained to Yang Han.
Yang Han just laughed.
Back in the lounge, Yan Shu remembered the gift and called the assistant over to ask, but the other person looked embarrassed.
"Your father said that they wanted to use money, so they took the money first. "The assistant bit her lip, "I was going to call you, but your stepmother scolded me, saying that I didn't respect your father and wanted to take charge of the house for you. How dare you tell me? I'm just a handyman. "
Yan Shu was stunned.
Even Yang Han didn't expect that his father-in-law, who thought he was reasonable, could do such a thing.
"How could this be possible? "Yan Shu glanced at her husband, and her face turned red.
To be honest, there were more gifts, mainly from her parents-in-law's colleagues and students. Her parents-in-law gave it to her, and it was for both of them. Now that Yan Junqiang has taken it away, how will she face her parents-in-law in the future? What will others think of her?
Thinking of this, Yan Shu couldn't hold back, and walked toward the door with her skirt in hand.
"You need to use a larger packaging box for this. Your box is too thin, is there a better one?"
In the banquet hall, Sun Aifang was instructing the waiters to pack the food preparation table, while Yan Junqiang was sitting next to him with his eyes closed and concentrating.
"Dad," Yan Shu stood directly in front of him and stretched out his hand, "Where is today's gift?"
Yan Junqiang opened his eyes and saw her face.
"Why is it inappropriate?" Sun Aifang heard this and immediately came over and laughed, "Xiaoqi, your parents-in-law's monthly pension is more than 10,000 yuan, which is not enough. We are a family, whoever takes it does not deserve it, do they still have to share half of it?"
"My parents-in-law are indeed not enough." Yan Shu now particularly hates her old green tea look, so she couldn't help but raise her voice, "But aunt, if others don't want it, you can't take it yourself. . Don’t ask what self-pickup is, you don’t need me to tell you, right? "
" Xiaoqi! There were waiters around. Yan Junqiang couldn't lose face and stood up immediately, "Your aunt is my wife one day, and your elder the next." I worked so hard to raise you so big, and just for such a small amount of money, are you going to show off to your father? ”
13
Yan Shu was persuaded to leave by Yang Han, and Yan Junqiang and his wife returned home packed with bags.
He didn’t speak to Sun Aifang along the way.
"The old saying that girls are outgoing is true." After entering the house, Sun Aifang glanced at him, "We are both raising the eldest child alone, but after all, I am a son, and even if my daughter-in-law comes in in the future, she is still our family. "
"Why is Xiaoqi no longer part of our family? Didn't she buy all the clothes you wear?" Yan Junqiang was still a little unhappy when others said about her own daughter, "Besides, if you didn't insist on taking the money, Xiaoqi wouldn't have paid the price. face. "
" What happened to us taking the money? The money she keeps is the joint property of the couple. If the two of us can't get along in the future, there will still be half of Yang Han. It's different if you invest in Zhigang's company. That's called dry stock. If you make money in the future, you're all one family. How can you still treat Xiaoqi badly? "
" That's what he said, but..." Yan Junqiang thought of the way his daughter looked at him. After all, he felt a little uncomfortable. He didn't even eat dinner and went into the house early to lie down.
Sun Aifang snorted coldly in her heart when she saw him like that.
Your daughter feels bad for taking this little money? I also serve daddy for her. Don't you think I'm easy to bully if I don't speak.
Yan Shu didn't know what his father and stepmother were thinking.
She is focused on the project.
On the third day of the wedding vacation, the boss called and said that there was an error in the bid for a major project of the company, and the client requested that the bid be cancelled. The business manager in charge of the project is not afraid of boiling water. She accepts the responsibility anyway, and if it doesn't work, she will be fired. People can't open
. That's a thing for later. What needs to be solved now is the problem of abolishing the standard.
Yan Shu dragged her husband and flew back from Lijiang overnight to read the project information and review the preferences of the client's leadership. She made an appointment with him the next night, toasted and admitted her mistake. She pretended to be a grandson all night, and later sponsored a living allowance for her children who were studying abroad. At least she got an opportunity to revise the bid document.
When Mo Xiaoke went to pick her up, Yan Shu had already vomited several times. The doctor said that the gastric mucosa was severely damaged and immediately issued a hospitalization order.
I couldn't hide it this time. When Yang Han arrived, he felt distressed and helpless.
After losing several bottles of liquid throughout the night, before Yan Shu woke up in the morning, Yan Junqiang called.
"Dad," Yang Han walked out of the ward with his mobile phone, "I'm Yang Han. What can you do so early?"
Hearing that it was his son-in-law, Yan Jun paused and couldn't say anything about asking for money.
Sun Aifang didn't know where she heard the news last night. Yan Shu and his advertising company had received last year's commission.
"An ordinary sales manager has three or four hundred thousand yuan. For someone like Xiaoqi, who would believe that he doesn't have seven or eight hundred thousand yuan?" She said while looking at Yan Junqiang's face, "You also know that we Zhigang have to make money to buy a house by ourselves. To make money, you need capital. Now that their company is undergoing share reform, others are selling houses and land. Zhigang is the least likely to invest.
If you are serious about us being a family, let Xiaoqi give you the alimony in one lump sum. When Zhigang uses the money to make money, isn't it the best of both worlds? "
"How can that be done?" As soon as she finished speaking, Yan Junqiang shook his head.
His daughter is already angry with him. How can she ask for money at this time?
But who is Sun Aifang? There is no ambiguity about whether she is soft or hard. She was reasonable and tearful, but Yan Junqiang was defeated in the end.
Anyway, Yan Shu now pays quite a lot every month, so it should be okay to make an advance, right?
But he didn’t expect Yang Han to answer the phone.
"I..." Yan Junqiang hesitated, "Did you have a good time in Lijiang?"
"Dad, we have returned..."
"Yang Han, whose phone number is it?" Yan Shu's voice came from the ward.
"Dad asked us how we were having fun." Yang Han had no choice but to hand her the phone.
"Dad... it's fine," this was the first time the father and daughter talked on the phone after the wedding. They were inevitably a little embarrassed. "Next time, I'll sign up a group for you and your aunt to come to Lijiang to play."
Both father and daughter are trying to ease the relationship, and the conversation is very stiff, but even so, Yan Junqiang just doesn't hang up the phone.
A good father is better than a daughter. Yan Shu knew that her father was going to give her another problem.

Sure enough, after asking "Is it hot over there" three times, Yan Junqiang finally expressed his intention.
"Xiao Qi, Zhigang's company is undergoing shareholding reform, and he also wants to invest. I heard that it can increase tenfold after listing. I thought..." He paused, "As a stepfather, I can't give him anything, so I just want to give him a share of capital to help him earn some money and settle down."
"How much do you want to come up with?" Yan Shu asked.
"Did you get a bonus?" Yan Junqiang said, his face getting hot, "Is it 800,000?"
"800,000, you want so much?"
Not only Yan Shu, but also Yang Han on the side were a little surprised.
"It's not for you, it's an investment."
"Isn't Zhigang in a startup company?" Speaking of this, Yan Shu shook his head, "Dad, nine out of ten startup companies will fail, let alone go public. You believe it when you hear him say it. They all want to make huge profits, how can it be that easy?"
After being taught such a lesson by his daughter, Yan Junqiang suddenly felt lost.
"Don't worry about whether it's easy or not," he frowned, and his attitude became tougher, "I'm just asking you if you have any? Just treat it as what you gave me, and what I do is my own business."
"But dad..."
"At worst, I will pay alimony in advance. You won't need to give it to me no matter how old I live, and I won't need you even if I die. "Buy it out for a cent, okay?" "Buy it out," Yan Shu said with a sigh, "What about buying it out, is it a father-daughter relationship? "
" That's okay if you want to. "
" What if I don't give it?"
Yan Junqiang choked and turned to see Sun Aifang with a mocking look on his face.
"I am your dad," he raised his voice, "I raised you when you were young, and you have to support me when I am old!"
Mo Xiaoke followed the nurse in and happened to hear this sentence.
"It's time to get the injection." Seeing Yan Shu's chest rising and falling and her eyes turning red, the nurse quickly reminded her in a low voice.
"I got the injection, Sister Yan." Mo Xiaoke suddenly let out a voice, like thunder.
Yan Shu looked at her in surprise.
"Lie down quickly. You are hospitalized. Control your emotions. Your body is important." Mo Xiaoke continued to speak loudly, and even his dantian became strong.
The next moment, Yan Junqiang asked, "Xiao Qi, weren't you playing in Lijiang? Why are you hospitalized?"
"It's okay." Yan Shu subconsciously wanted to report good news rather than bad news.
Since her mother passed away, this has become her habitual action because she feels sorry for her father.
"Sister Yan," Mo Xiaoke glared at her and lowered his voice, "seize the opportunity."
Yan Shu looked at her husband.
"Dad," Yang Han answered the phone, "We are at Jincheng Central Hospital. Yan Yan needs treatment now. I will talk to you later."

"Why are you bothering my dad? It's nothing serious." After hanging up the phone, Yan Shu felt helpless.
"Do you know what doting is?" Yang Han asked, "If parents dote on their children, the children will not be grateful. If you dote on your dad, the results seem to be similar."
"My dad is not easy. I just hope that he can be happy for the rest of his life..." Yan Shu defended.
"Sister Yan," Mo Xiaoke put the daily necessities he bought for her into the cabinet, "Originally, I said it was inappropriate for your family's affairs. But I really feel that you are also responsible for your father's attitude towards you now."
"You have to shoulder everything on your own and give you what you ask for. Even the closest relatives are the same."
"I understand." Yan Shu smiled bitterly, "In fact, I already understand that he can directly take the gift money. But you know, habits of more than ten years have to be slowly changed."
"Then start changing it from today." Yang Han patted her shoulder, "Let me see how you saved your old father who was crooked."
Yan Shu thought.
But Yan Junqiang didn't come.
On the second day and the third day, until Yan Shu was about to be discharged from the hospital, Yan Junqiang did not show up and did not even make a phone call.
"You said nothing will happen to my dad, right?" After being disappointed, Yan Shu began to worry.
Just when she was hesitating whether to call or not, she saw Yan Junqiang enter the ward in disgrace.
"Dad?" Yan Shu was surprised.
"Fortunately it's not you." Yan Junqiang wiped the sweat from his forehead, "I just went upstairs and saw several nurses pushing the hospital bed towards the operating room. I was shocked. What's wrong with you? Is it serious?"
Yan Shu and Yang Han looked at each other.
"You still asked, and I haven't come for several days." She said deliberately.
"Why don't I want to come? It's not your aunt Jia Zhigang," Yan Junqiang said with a bad expression. "Didn't it happen before the shareholding reform? The result was that he was a liar. The boss took away all the money. We invested 100,000 ourselves and borrowed 500,000 to 600,000 from our classmates. Now they are urging us to pay back the money. If we don't pay back, we will have to go to court."
Speaking of this, he glanced at Yan Shu and said, "Do you have any money? No matter what, it is urgent. I have already given your wedding gift money to others, but it is not enough. Your aunt cries at home every day, fearing that Zhigang will become an old man and his future will be ruined."
Yan Shu did not expect that his father came to visit him and asked for money.
To be honest, at this point, she had to admit that what Mo Xiaoke and Yang Han said were right. If this continues, father and daughter will really drift apart.
Thinking of this, Yan Shu leaned on the bedside, suddenly covered his stomach and took a breath.
"What's wrong with your stomach?" Yan Junqiang's attention was immediately diverted.
"I didn't want to tell you," Yan Shu's voice weakened, "Stomach bleeding, drinking."
"Ah," Yan Junqiang raised his voice, "Why do you, a girl, drink?"
"Me neither. I want to drink. There is a problem with the client, and he came back from Lijiang overnight. If he doesn’t drink, the problem will not be solved. What can I do about this? "
" What does the doctor say now?" Yan Junqiang said this after holding back for a long time.
"The gastric mucosa is too thin and needs long-term care. If it continues like this, he may collapse at any time."
"...Is it so serious? Can we not drink alcohol in the future?"
Yan Shu smiled, bitterly.
"How is it possible? You have to make money. It's okay. It's not the first time. I've been used to it for so many years." She said.
"Why don't you stop doing this job... the money is enough, and there is Yang Han." Yan Junqiang couldn't help but say.
"It's more convenient for me," Yan Shu secretly winked at her husband while adjusting her bangs, "If you need money, I can't give it to you with Yang Han's earnings."

Yan Junqiang was suddenly speechless.
Yan Shu was like Little Li's flying knife on TV. He couldn't see the moves, but the swords hit the target.
In the past, every time his daughter came home, she would look calm and relaxed when talking about work. As time went by, he thought that his daughter had skills and money came easily, so he gradually felt at ease. .
He even planned to continue asking for the eight hundred thousand from her.
But what if it was Yan Shu's hard-earned money?
Yan Junqiang clenched his fists, feeling his face and eyes burning.
"Dad," Yan Shu's voice became weaker, "I have paid off part of the mortgage in advance. If you can wait, I will be discharged from the hospital today." No matter what, get a big order first, and then discuss with the leader to advance the commission..."
After saying this, she pressed her hand on her stomach again.
Yang Han looked away.
He always knew that Yan Shu was not a fool, but he didn't realize that if she wanted to act, ordinary people really couldn't take the role.
Yan Junqiang is also an ordinary person.
"Don't say it, your health is not good yet. Yan Junqiang lowered his head, his voice a little dull, "I won't let you exchange your life for money." "
" It's okay, I can hold on. "Yan Shu said this, but took a few breaths.
"What are you holding on for? Your face will turn pale. "
The more she tried to be brave, the more uncomfortable Yan Junqiang felt.
He suddenly remembered that for Yan Shu's birthday when she was ten years old, he bought a cake for her to make a wish. The little girl closed her eyes and clasped her hands together, and whispered, "I hope my father will always be happy. "
That's his daughter.
"Xiao Qi, about the gift money," Yan Junqiang still lowered his head, "it was my father who was wrong... He is still confused when he is old, and it caused trouble for you... The house in our hometown will be transferred to your name after you are discharged from the hospital. Although it is not worth much money, it is still a thought. "
Yan Shu didn't dare to stare at Yan Junqiang, because for a moment, she felt that her father was about to cry.
Later, Yan Shu didn't know how Zhigang's matter was resolved. She only heard that Sun Aifang cried for a few days, and Yan Junqiang said she wanted a divorce. She immediately became honest.
Yan Junqiang occasionally called Yan Shu, always reminding her not to drink, and the money was about the same.
A few months later, during a night run, Mo Xiaoke met Mo Xiaoke by chance. Yan Junqiang and his daughter.
Yan Shu held her father's arm, and they were alone, walking on the river embankment and chatting quietly.
Walking under the willow tree, a willow leaf fell on her shoulder.
Yan Junqiang raised his hand, picked it up for her, and patted it carefully.
"Dad is old," Mo Xiaoke heard Yan Junqiang say, "but if Yang Han bullies you, dad will have to beat that kid in the middle of the night. "
" Well, I told him, let's see if he still dares. "Yan Shu was amused by his words.
Mo Xiaoke looked at Yan Shu's smiling face and remembered one night when she said that the person who grew up with me no longer loves me.
Now that person is back.
Yan Shu, she should be very happy, right?
