271. Chapter 271 Out of Control

Standing under the tree, Xi Xiaye watched Xi Mushan's fading figure, and suddenly a soreness rose up in her throat uncontrollably, and it took a lot of effort for her to suppress the feeling...

Looking down at the gift in her hand, she knew what kind of gift Xi Mushan gave—peach hairpin almost without opening it!

Shen Wenna has a special liking for peach blossom hairpins. She has collected dozens of peach blossom hairpins in the drawer, but she has never let her see them. She accidentally found them when she was helping her tidy up...

She also knew that most of those peach hairpins were gifts from her father to her mother...

After a long, long silence, she turned around and walked into the building with her things. When she returned to the room, the food was ready and they were all waiting for her to eat together.

"What did you do?"

Mu Yuchen handed over the handkerchief.

Xi Xiaye slightly tightened the paper bag in his hand, glanced at Mu Yuchen, then looked at Shen Wenna who was at the side, hesitated for a moment, and then handed the gift to her——

"Father gave it to you... I was afraid you would be unhappy, so I didn't come up..."

Shen Wenna was startled for a moment, raised her eyes and looked at Xi Xiaye for a long time, then looked at the gift in front of her indifferently, "I remember I told you not to take the things he sent over again."

"Mother, I am..."

"Next time, you will send him back by yourself."

Shen Wenna said coldly, took it with one hand, and put it aside casually, "Let's eat."

Xi Xiaye didn't care, she seemed to say the same thing last time, so...

"sit down."

Mu Yuchen didn't say anything, just pulled the chair away for Xi Xiaye, lowered his head and whispered in her ear, "Next time, just do it better and get the person up directly."

Xi Xiaye rolled his eyes at him, didn't bother to tell him, and reached out for a bowl of soup.

After a meal, Shen Wenna felt a little tasteless, and said she couldn't eat after a few mouthfuls, and left the table early to go to the study, looking a little lonely.

Hearing the sound of the study door closing, Xi Xiaye sighed a little sadly, and looked at Mu Yuchen, "Don't be surprised, it will be like this every time my mother does something like this."

While speaking, he put down the chopsticks in his hand, stared at the paper bag at the side, finally reached out to take it, opened it, and quickly took out a delicate brocade box from it, opened it casually— —

Sure enough, there was an exquisite scarlet peach hairpin lying inside, with light-colored petals and light tassels, very beautiful and endearing...

"I'll go and see her, you eat first."

After speaking, he took a deep breath, clenched the peach hairpin tightly, and suddenly got up and walked towards the study.

At this time, Shen Wenna in the study was sitting quietly at the desk, silently looking out of the opposite window with the swaying veil, without saying a word.

"Mother……"

Xi Xiaye came to Shen Wenna's side in a few steps, and handed her the hairpin in his hand, "This year's hairpin seems to be better than last year's..."

Shen Wenna turned her head to look at Xi Xiaye. After a long time, her gaze calmly moved down. She looked at the hairpin she handed in front of her, took a breath, and slowly took it...

"It's all over, what's the use of sending these things?"

Shen Wenna's slightly hoarse voice came, and a bit of sour taste could be heard faintly, "He is always so self-righteous... he thought I was the same as before..."

"Mother, if you really can't let go of father, can you..."

"Who says I can't let him go? He just wants me to let him go, right? He Xi Mushan wants me to let Shen Wenna insist on him in this life?"

Before Xi Xiaye could finish speaking, Shen Wenna's face suddenly became tense, and she slightly clenched the hairpin in her hand, "The former vows of eternal love have now become a ridiculous joke because of his betrayal, does he think I can forgive him like this? ? Impossible! Xia Ye, let me tell you, I will never forgive him!"

Shen Wenna suddenly became a little excited, her whole body trembled slightly, and her clear eyes couldn't help showing a little forbearance, the scar in her heart that had been silent for a long time was lifted up like this, the pain made her feel a painful suffocation.

"I gave up everything back then, and was even willing to sever the father-daughter relationship with your grandfather because of him... I love you so much... As expected, in the end, I still have to pay a heavy price for this unruly exile... Xia Ye, I have always been unwilling to be with you." When you talk about your mother's unbearable past, you just hope that you don't know these bad things... because you don't need to bear these things, and I don't want my misfortune to affect your heart. I just want you to know , although your father and I have divorced, we still care about you, just like before, that's all, do you understand?"

Speaking of this, Shen Wenna suddenly took a breath, suppressed the emotions that were about to vent in her heart, calmed down a bit, and then continued, "I'm afraid your father and I will never go back in this life... I know you have always been right in your heart. We all hope, but I tell you it's impossible..."

"Why is it impossible? If Yue Lingsi can snatch your father from you, can't you snatch him back? Why can she, Xi Xinyi, take her father's love and grandparents' love for granted, but I have nothing?" ?”

Xi Xiaye suddenly laughed at herself uncontrollably, "Do you know that every time, every time Xi Xinyi pours dirty water on me, I always ask, why? When being bullied, others can go to grandparents , Mom and Dad, but what about me? Who can I find?"

As soon as Xi Xiaye said this, Shen Wenna's face turned pale, and the hand holding the hairpin trembled slightly...

"Sorry, count me as a slip of the tongue..."

Seeing Shen Wenna's gloomy expression, Xi Xiaye felt a little pain in her heart, took a shallow breath, forced back all the bitterness in her throat, and said softly, "I don't mean to blame you, anyway, I've gotten used to it over the years... ...Seeing that other people's families are harmonious, I feel a little envious..."

"I have always respected you, mother... I have always been proud of having a mother like you, but I hope you can also be brave. What you should fight for, you have to fight for...you and father... ...are not young anymore..."

Xi Xiaye said with a sense of loss.

In fact, for a long time, she has been afraid to tell Shen Wenna that she hopes that she can help her get back her father, and she also wants to give Shen Wenna courage, but at that time... She didn't even have this thing, so how could she give it to Shen Wenna? Woolen cloth?

Shen Wenna didn't speak, just looked at Xi Xiaye quietly, holding the hairpin tightly in her hand, Xi Xiaye seemed to be able to see a trace of struggle in her eyes...
