ten miles around

"Ma'am, what's the matter with you?"

"Ah! What's the matter?" Mother Tang came back from her thoughts.

"Ma'am, I have called you several times just now. I often see Madam distracted recently. Did you not have a good rest at night?"

"Well, I haven't slept well recently, and Xiaoji is going to get married. I'm a little scared."

"I think Madam is simply worrying about it. You see how good the young master is now! Even if you have a daughter-in-law, you won't forget your mother."

"Really, do you think that everything a mother does is for her own children?" Mother Tang said thoughtfully.

"Of course, how can a mother harm her own child?"

"is it?"

"Ma'am, Miss Li will come to accompany you to go shopping in the afternoon. Would you like me to clean up for you?"

"Forget it, you call her and say that I'm not feeling well, so I won't go this afternoon. If you really want to, go and spend more time with Xiaoji, and the two of you can develop a relationship as soon as possible."

"Okay, then I'll go first."

"Wait." Tang Ma opened the bottom drawer of the dressing table and took out a box from it. Tang Ma opened the box, took a look, and sighed.Inside the box was a somewhat worn ring, which was simple in style and cost hundreds of dollars at first glance. It looked a bit awkward in Mother Tang's jewelry box.

Tang's mother looked at the person in the mirror. A few wrinkles had crept up on the face of a lady in the mirror, and her eyes were a little at a loss. She didn't know if what she had done was right, but now everything was done. It's a foregone conclusion.

For Xiaoji's sake, Tang's mother repeated silently several times in her heart, then gently closed the box, "Take this out and throw it away!"

"Yes."

The servant went downstairs with the box, just in time to meet Tang Ji.

"what is this?"

"It's nothing, it's the jewelry that Madam doesn't want, let me go out and throw it away." The servant replied.

Tang Ji nodded, indicating that the servant could go down, then turned and went upstairs.

After walking two steps, Tang Ji suddenly stopped and said, "Wait."

"Master, do you have any orders?"

"Can you show me the box? Let me see if my mother's favorite jewelry is broken, so I can make it up for her again." Tang Ji always had a strange feeling in his heart, like something in his heart It's the same as the string being pulled by this box.

"Okay." The servant stepped forward and handed the box to Tang Ji.

Tang Ji took the box, opened it and glanced at it. He was taken aback for a moment, and all the memories seemed to come flooding back. He picked up the ring tremblingly, and rubbed his fingertips against the two English letters "xy" on the ring. .

Xiao Yuan, I seem to like you a little bit.

Yuan, let's go!Go where no one knows us and start over!

It turns out, this, uh... This is a ring I bought. We engraved each other's name on it, and we will be each other's from now on.

Yuan, you wait for me to come back, and I will take you away when I come back.

But he didn't go back after that day, he had a car accident, but he was forgotten, and then he was sent to the army...

He didn't know how Xiao Yuan survived those days. He came to him that day, obviously to tell him, but he couldn't think of him at all. He must be angry so he didn't say anything. go.

Yes, he must be angry with himself, if not, he will go to get him back, he doesn't want anything, he only wants Xiao Yuan.

"Master, what's the matter with you? Ma'am." Seeing Tang Ji's expression was wrong, the servant hurriedly called Ma'am.

Tang Ma heard the movement below and ran down quickly, "Xiaoji, where are you going?"

"Mom, why did you lie to me? Why did you hide the ring?" Tang Jihong turned around and asked.

"I..." Looking at the box in Tang Ji's hand and Tang Ji's expression, Mother Tang knew that what she was most worried about had finally happened. She covered her mouth and shook her head, "I didn't, I did it for your own good."

"You're not for me, you're afraid that your son being gay will embarrass you and the Tang family." Tang Ji turned around after speaking.

"Tang Ji, stop. I will never let you go out of the turnstile today. Your marriage with the Li family is a foregone conclusion. You promised me this yourself. If you go back on your word now, our entire Tang family will become a laughingstock."

"It was you who lied to me first, if you want to repeat what happened back then, then just stop me!"

"You...Are you going to abandon your mother for an outsider?"

"Mom, you pushed me to someone else, you don't understand, you never know what I want."

"I just know that man will kill you, he will destroy you."

"It wasn't he who ruined me, it was I who ruined him, I dragged him to this road, you went to school to make trouble, you went to his house to make trouble, have you ever thought about how he will live in the future? He was at that time It's only me, but you took me away, I can't imagine how he survived alone, but I feel distressed!" Tang Ji pointed to his heart and said, "I feel distressed when I face the eyes of the surroundings. I also feel sorry for him because there is no room for him in my family and school.”

"But... But don't you live well without him? Why do you have to have him?"

"But I would have no heart if he wasn't by my side! You also have a son, don't you regret what you did at the beginning? You did everything so badly, have you thought about how he will live? ?”

Tang's mother has been raising flowers in the greenhouse all her life, so she naturally doesn't think about how other people will live, "I... I just want you to live well..."

"But I'm not doing well, I don't have a heart here." Tang Ji said, pointing to his chest.

"..."

Mother Tang cried and fell on the sofa. Tang Ji took one last look at this weak mother, and then turned and left resolutely. He never thought that this seemingly weak mother would do such a thing. Is it really because you are in a greenhouse and don't know how to think about other people's situations, thus disrupting other people's lives at will?

In his eyes, his mother has always been a well-educated and well-mannered lady, and she shouldn't be like this.

"Ma'am, you want to..."

"No need, let him go!" Mother Tang closed her eyes tiredly, indeed she has never thought about that child's life so far, she met that child at the door of the apartment that day, he seemed to be thinner than Xiaoji , like willows that are about to be blown down at any time.At that time, she seemed to be only thinking of covering up the original matter, but in the end, she took the gentleman's belly with the heart of a villain. The child didn't say anything, but her eyes were so sad, as if she really planned to have a People take over everything, including the crimes she committed.

She clearly saw it, but she didn't dare to think deeply, and she didn't even dare to admit that she was such a selfish person in the eyes of others.
