Chapter 282: Conversation at the Table
Chapter 282: Conversation at the Table
Ouyang Mengmian put down the knife and fork she had just picked up. She looked solemnly at Ouyang Jing, who was sitting opposite her and cutting the food slowly, and said restrainedly, "Dad, Mom hasn't come to eat yet."
Ouyang Jing was stunned when he heard this, and seemed to have just noticed what Ouyang Mengmian said.
"What's wrong, Mengmian? You didn't even want to eat because of this?" Ouyang Jing asked with a smile, but there was no smile in his eyes.
Ouyang Mengmian took a deep breath and tried to make her voice sound calmer. "I just think that mom should eat with us."
Ouyang Jing smiled and did not respond to Ouyang Mengmian's words. He said "Oh" as if nothing had happened, then leisurely put the knife and fork on the plate, and looked at Ouyang Mengmian leisurely, as if waiting for her to say something else with "warring" words.
Seeing Ouyang Jing stop eating, Ouyang Mengmian did not feel relieved at all. She felt so heavy that she could hardly breathe.
"Dad, I don't know much about the emotional entanglement between you and Mom. Logically speaking, I am a junior and should not, let alone speculate or comment on your feelings... But, you are my parents, and I hope you are well... Mom, she is your wife after all... Even if you don't love her, please don't hurt her..." Ouyang Mengmian's eyes were firm but filled with endless pain.
Ouyang Jing was slightly startled. He didn't expect Ouyang Mengmian to say such a thing. His brows furrowed deeply, and he almost instinctively wondered if Wang Huiyi had said something to Ouyang Mengmian.
"What on earth did your mother tell you? You believed what she said!" Because he was too angry, every word Ouyang Jing said seemed to pop out from between his teeth, and his head was so hard that veins popped out.
Ouyang Mengmian looked towards where her mother was with worry. Fortunately, the distance between the two sides was quite far and her mother was concentrating on washing up, so she couldn't hear anything for a while. She couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief.
But what made her feel even more painful was that she originally thought that her father just didn't have much affection for her mother and didn't love her very much; she didn't expect that her father not only didn't love her mother, but even looked down on her from the bottom of his heart...
Perhaps her mother had said some ambiguous words in front of her in order to achieve a certain purpose, but even so, Ouyang Mengmian still chose to forgive her after the passage of time.
But shouldn't the father be more tolerant of the mother who has been married to him for more than 20 years and who has been planning for him wholeheartedly? !
Whenever Ouyang Mengmian thought about how her mother had gone through so much trouble to give birth to her, how she had planned and devoted herself without regrets for so many years, but how her father had ruthlessly treated her as a worn-out shoe, she felt that it was not worth it for her mother. At the same time, she felt deeply disgusted with her father's behavior.
But she also understood that even though her father's feelings for her mother were so unbearable, her mother still loved him deeply, and even though she felt endless pain, she only vented it in secret.
Ouyang Mengmian's anger was also aroused for a moment. She clenched her hands tightly to restrain the urge to smash the table.
"What do you think she will say to me?! What do you think she will say to me! Dad! I'm not blind, I have eyes and thoughts, I can see! And I can feel it!" Ouyang Mengmian's eyes were red and his voice unconsciously became louder.
