Chapter 57: Tears of the Sea
"Ah He!" As soon as Tang Xin saw the comer, he immediately ran over and threw himself into the man's arms, crying uncontrollably.
The person who came was Xiao He who returned from a business trip.
Xiao He frowned and looked at the scene in the room, looked down at Tang Xin, who threw himself into his arms and cried, and then his eyes fell on Aunt Tong, who wanted to speak and stopped, and finally fell on the gloomy face of Wen Yan.
He was supposed to come back three hours later, and in the afternoon the matter was dealt with in advance, and he would continue to work in the hotel or airport VIP reception room as usual, but this time he was a little homesick, and suddenly asked Secretary Lin to help him change his book, and came back three hours early.
Unexpectedly, when I came back, I saw this scene.
One cried non-stop, one wanted to speak and stopped, and the other was silent.
No one explained to him what had happened.
But soon, someone answered his doubts.
Tang Xin cried and chirped and described what happened just now, of course, she naturally didn't say the words she threatened Wen Yan, they were all said in her favor, such as Wen Yan asked her for 30 million as the price for leaving Xiao He, and said that this was Xiao He's value, and Wen Yan also slapped her twice, if it wasn't for Aunt Tong to stop her, Wen Yan might have beaten her to death.
Wen Yan coldly watched Tang Xin add fuel and vinegar and reverse black and white, as if she was watching a funny joke, if she wasn't in a bad mood now, maybe she would really laugh.
Xiao He listened to Tang Xin's words in silence, neither asking nor questioning, just contemplating with his eyes, and then, his eyes looked at Wen Yan, his dark eyes were as indifferent and calm as ever.
But for some reason, Wen Yan just knew that he was angry.
Also, which man will not be angry when he encounters this kind of thing, no matter how charming the captive canary is, it will peck people, and it will cause trouble, few men will like it.
Men are like this, they want women to be beautiful like flowers, and women to be well-behaved and obedient.
Once a woman brings trouble to herself, and the harm outweighs the good, they will give it up without any regret, as if it were a worn piece of clothing.
Otherwise, how can there be a woman like clothes?
Wen Yan was not nervous or afraid at this time, on the contrary, she was still faintly looking forward to his reaction, whether he would give her infinite tenderness like he did eight years ago, and then give her a fatal blow.
But she waited for a while, but Xiao He didn't react.
The atmosphere was eerily silent, and even Aunt Tong couldn't help but get nervous.
Tang Xin's choking sound broke the silence.
"Ah He, how can you let her live here?" Tang Xin's eyes were red, her delicate eyeliner was blurred by tears, and the tails of her eyes were blackened, she only cared about crying, forgetting to maintain her image for a while, her eyes widened and pouted slightly, making a gesture of forbearance and grievance, and complaining in a soft voice, "I know she seduced you, you didn't hold back, I don't blame you, as long as you let her go now, I can treat it as if nothing happened." ”
She paused, and her voice suddenly increased, as if to remind him, "If Uncle Shaw knew about this, he would definitely be unhappy." ”
She thought that she had said this generously and to the point, both to save his face and to remind him of the consequences of the incident, and as his fiancée, she had done enough to react this time.
After all, she also understands that born in a wealthy family, there are a few men who can do it without touching a leaf.
Her father, Xiao He's father, is not a wife in the family, and there are several women outside.
She had been prepared for this since before she was engaged to Xiao He, but he had always been clean and had never had intimate acts with any woman, so she regarded him as a special case.
She understood that Xiao He was engaged to her not because of love and love, but for interests, but even so, she was still willing.
She can accept that he doesn't love her, but that doesn't mean he can tolerate him liking other women.
Ever since she saw the kind of look that Xiao He showed when Wen Yan was injured and taken away by Duan Chen at the airport, Tang Xin's heart began to feel uneasy, as a woman, it was impossible for her not to understand the meaning of a man's eyes.
That's a man's possessiveness of a woman.
Possessiveness is not necessarily related to liking, but Xiao He has never looked at any woman differently for so many years, let alone shown that kind of look to other women, at that moment, Tang Xin suddenly had an idea, Xiao He is not just possessive of Wen Yan.
She didn't dare to think about it, it was better to deceive herself than to face reality.
But when she saw Wen Yan appear in Liuyun Yazhu, she was finally sure that what she didn't dare to face had come true.
She hated Wen Yan very much, why could she get Xiao He's blue eyes, she couldn't wait to tear Wen Yan apart. She also complained so much about this indifferent man that she wanted to ask him why he did it.
However, she knew that doing so would only push him farther and farther away from her, and might even push him directly to Wen Yan.
She is not like her mother, who cried, made trouble and hanged herself when she knew that her father had a woman outside, but instead of getting her father's change of heart, she pushed him farther and farther, and when she saw her mother, she was upset, and she lingered more at the woman outside and did not go home.
Crying can't win back a man's heart.
Since she was a child, she has seen many parents quarrel because of women outside, and she gradually understands that to save a man, it is not by crying, but by pinching the weakness of a man.
Xiao He is an illegitimate child, it is not easy for him to have today's achievements and status, Tang Xin thinks that Xiao He's weakness is his father, or, to be precise, all the benefits brought to him by the identity of the second young man of the Xiao family.
If this matter was known to his father Xiao Qizheng, he would definitely be blamed by his father, and even affect his status and interests in the Xiao family and the Yuncheng Group.
Tang Xin thought that his words were extremely appropriate, but Xiao He did not have any change in expression after listening to her words.
His eyes were as cold and cold as ever, looking at her as if he were looking at a sculpture, not to mention uneasiness and hesitation, not even the slightest change in mood.
He was silent, but Tang Xin thought he was hesitating, and couldn't help but continue: "If Auntie is still here, she won't look at you and make mistakes again and again, you are Uncle Xiao's most valued son, I believe you will definitely make the most correct choice." ”
The aunt she said was Xiao He's mother Tong Liuyun.
Tong Liuyun raised Xiao He alone, although Xiao Qizheng did not lack the two of them materially, but the lack of his father's position made Xiao He mature and independent than his peers since he was a child, and therefore, he was more sympathetic to his mother's sadness and pain. For his mother, he has always tried to meet her needs, even if she asked him to be engaged to a woman he didn't like, he didn't say no.
Who to marry is not to marry, he didn't have anyone he liked at that time, and he devoted himself to his career. Being engaged to Tang Xin can not only satisfy his mother's wishes, but also satisfy his father, so why should he not agree.
Tang Xin thought that she was talking about Xiao He's heart, she looked up at him faintly, and glanced at Wen Yan with a gloomy face proudly, and her eyes were clearly saying, let you be arrogant, and you will cry later.
She waited for Xiao He's reaction, however, Xiao He did not immediately let Wen Yan go as she expected, but looked at her coldly, looking at her condescendingly with dark eyes, and his eyes were so dark that they were frightening.
Xiao He looked at her coldly, and after a while, he spoke, and his voice was low as if coming from the dark night: "The most correct choice......
Tang Xin looked at him with wide eyes, feeling uneasy in his heart.
Xiao He suddenly raised his hand, his slender fingers fell on her sideburns, brushing away her messy hair, and frowned unconsciously when he saw the black eyeliner at the end of her eyes.
Tang Xin felt his fingers gently brushing his cheeks, and he couldn't help but start looking forward to it.
Wen Yan looked at the man's familiar movements, and unconsciously pursed her lips, and an inexplicable sadness and anger surged in her heart.
The man brushed her hair so gently.
So, has he made his choice?
Wen Yan couldn't help but laugh inwardly, and sure enough, everything was as he expected, and he once again chose interests.
When she saw him again, she had told herself that she would no longer be sad for this man, but at this moment, she was still uncontrollably sad when she saw him do what he had done to other women.
Why?
She didn't know, she knew, she couldn't control her heart.
But then, Xiao He's actions surprised everyone.
He slowly leaned over to Tang Xin's ear, opened and closed his thin lips, and slowly spit out the words: "If you still want to be Mrs. Xiao, get out now." ”
The volume was not loud, but it was enough for everyone present to hear it.
Wen Yan showed a look of surprise, and Aunt Tong looked worried.
Tang Xin's eyes widened in disbelief, and he turned his head to look at the terrifyingly cold man in front of him.
Her face turned white at a visible rate, and her expensive dress, messy hair, and blurred eyeliner made her look like a rag doll stripped of her delicate coat.
After a moment of stunnedness, she slowly came back to her senses, her teeth biting her lip so hard that she almost burst it.
Wen Yan rarely gave birth to a trace of unbearability, feeling that this man was indeed cold enough, she had also experienced this coldness, but she didn't expect him to do the same to his fiancée.
She suddenly felt that Tang Xin was quite pitiful, but this did not mean that she deserved sympathy.
Wen Yan saw Tang Xin drooping her eyelids, her hands clutching the hem of her clothes tightly, and then, she suddenly looked up at her, glaring at her fiercely as if she hated her.
Wen Yan's unbearable spirit immediately disappeared.
It's funny, he told you to, what are you staring at me for.
Women are really stupid sometimes, obviously the man hurt her, but he puts all the fault on another woman, trying to find excuses for the man, trying to save the man's heart.
As everyone knows, it is the men who should bear the main responsibility the most.
Same-sex killing, approximately.
Tang Xin always thought that the culprit was Wen Yan, and even at this moment, she still thought that it was Wen Yan's appearance that caused Xiao He's attitude towards her to change.
She hated Wen Yan.
Wen Yan withdrew that rare trace of pity, and like a spectator who had seen enough of a farce, she turned around indifferently and walked to the backyard.
For Tang Xin's embarrassment at the moment, she neither felt gloating, nor was she guilty or ashamed.
Karma is just that, perhaps, she will have to bear her karma in the future.
There are a lot of flowers planted in the backyard, tulips, roses, and lilies, Wen Yan guessed that these should have been planted by Xiao He's mother before her death.
She has seen the photos of Tong Liuyun when she was young, her appearance is dignified and beautiful, her temperament is gentle and elegant, and in this villa, her good taste for life can be seen everywhere.
Why is such a beautiful and elegant woman willing to be a junior?
She didn't understand.
She suddenly lowered her eyes and smiled self-deprecatingly, she herself was not doing the same thing now, what was there to understand.
Everyone always has their own reasons, but no amount of reasons is an excuse to choose, since you have done it, you must be prepared to bear the consequences.
She had actually been prepared for this for a long time.
However, when that day came, she realized that the price was more painful than she had imagined, and then she realized that she had calculated everything, but only omitted to count it into her own heart.
Autumn is getting stronger, the evening breeze is gradually rising, blowing through the delicate flowers, the delicate flowers are swaying, using the last strength of life to spit out the fragrance, the gesture of attachment is beautiful and fragile, and it makes people feel sad inexplicably.
Wen Yan quietly looked at the sea of flowers, silent with the night breeze.
In fact, she doesn't like flowers, they are too delicate and need to be carefully maintained.
She loves the sea, the vastness of the sea, which contains infinite energy.
There was a slow, steady footstep behind her, and the familiar breath came towards her with the night wind.
She knew he was coming.
She calmly turned around and looked at him quietly with her head tilted.
Xiao He stared at her, his eyes as indifferent as ever.
After a while, he suddenly spoke slowly, his voice low as a melodious cello, and it made people feel an inexplicable chill.
"Wen Yan, what do you want?"
Wen Yan was stunned, this question sounded familiar.
When they met again, he asked her what you wanted.
At that time, she told him that she wanted him.
Now, he's still asking, what do you want.
Wen Yan's eyes flashed slightly, and her heart couldn't help but tremble.
Although he was asking a question, she felt that he already knew the answer.
Before she could speak, he gave an answer directly, which surprised Wen Yan.
"Say the same answer again. ”
His falcon-like eyes were fixed on her, as if to say, "If you say it again, I'll believe it."
Wen Yan understood, but she couldn't speak.
He knew that wasn't the real answer.
Reason told Wen Yan that it was the most correct choice to say the answer he wanted, so that she could continue to stay by his side, which would not only confuse Sheng Yu, but also help her take revenge on the Tang family.
However, she suddenly felt so tired.
The heart was heavy, as if it was being weighed down by a boulder.
His eyes were too sharp and hot for her to look at directly.
In the end, she shook her head.
The answer is self-explanatory.
She drooped her eyelids, her expression was almost indifferent, and after a while, she suddenly laughed slowly and whispered self-deprecatingly, "Shouldn't I leave?"
The man in front of him didn't answer, nor did he make any other movements, he just looked at her deeply, and there was an emotion in his eyes that Wen Yan couldn't understand.
Later, she realized that that the original emotion was called pain.
Later, after going through all kinds of things, she had an epiphany, it turned out that eyes can also deceive people, and pain can also be disguised.
She raised her eyes and smiled at him, as sweet and charming as ever: "Goodbye, Xiao He." ”
Wen Yan left, leaving without even bringing the clothes in the closet.
He bought all those things for her, what to bring.
Aunt Tong didn't know what the two were talking about in the backyard, and when she saw Wen Yan change into the clothes she wore when she came, and said goodbye to her with a smile, Aunt Tong couldn't help but hold her hand.
"Miss Wen, did you and the young master quarrel? There are some things that I shouldn't have said, but I think if I don't say it at this time, maybe I won't have a chance to say it in the future. I also watched the young master grow up, he has had too many responsibilities since he was a child, so his mind is deeper than other children, even in the face of people or things he likes, he will not say it easily. But, I can tell that he really likes you. Maybe you can't understand some of the things he does, but believe that his feelings for you are genuine. ”
Wen Yan was surprised why Aunt Tong would say this to her.
She believes that Xiao He really likes her, men like beautiful and active women, what a normal thing, but this liking is worth a few taels in front of interests.
She has long passed the age of believing that love is greater than the sky.
Wen Yan didn't take Aunt Tong's words to heart, she only felt that she was helping Xiao He speak.
She smiled and shook her head, didn't explain anything to her, turned and resolutely left.
Wen Yan didn't know that after she left, Xiao He had been standing in the backyard, looking at the sea of flowers, and was silent for a long time.
Aunt Tong was worried, walked to the backyard, stood behind him, and called "Young Master" softly.
Xiao He didn't turn around, his deep voice was sent to Aunt Tong's ears by the night wind.
"Aunt Tong, are they all fake?"
There was no beginning or end to a sentence, but Aunt Tong understood.
He was asking her if everything Wen Yan did was fake, including his feelings.
Because it is fake, she can go so decisively and simply, without nostalgia.
Aunt Tong lowered her eyes and pondered, and after a while, she was suddenly shocked, and looked at his back in shock: "You, have you remembered?"
Xiao He didn't answer, he turned around indifferently, walked into the house with a steady step, walked straight upstairs, and entered the bedroom.
The suitcase had already been taken to his bedroom by Aunt Tong.
He opened the suitcase and pulled out a dark blue flannel box.
The box was opened, and a shimmering sheen of fine pieces flickered.
It is a diamond necklace with blue gemstones like tassels adorning white gold chains, like tears of the sea.
This diamond necklace is called Tears of the Sea, he ordered it from abroad half a month ago, and finally arrived this afternoon.
On the way back to Yun Yazhu from the airport, he specially asked the driver to take a short detour to the jewelry store to pick it up.
That day he asked her what she wanted, and she said sweetly and wantonly, of course, the more expensive the better.
This diamond project is indeed expensive, but that's not the most important thing.
He knew that she loved the sea, the tears of the sea, beautiful and mysterious, and suited her perfectly.
Xiao He looked at the necklace in his hand with gloomy eyes, and after a while, he slowly closed the lid and threw it into the trash can at his feet.
Wen Yan naturally didn't know all this.
Although she had a falling out with Xiao He, she couldn't let Sheng Yu know about this matter.
She has already obtained evidence of the violations of some of Tang Yaozong's past projects, as long as the evidence is complete, she can make him ruined and spend the rest of his life in prison, at that time, Tang Yaozong, Tang Shimao and Tang Xin will be like lost dogs, and they will completely become the laughing stock of Jianning's high society.
It's been a month since I left Liuyun Yazhu, during this time, Wen Yan's life has not changed much, and the cooperation with Yuncheng Group is still continuing, sometimes in the past, Xiao He will be met when discussing projects there, she has a businesslike attitude, and she greets him generously when she sees him, as if the two of them are just Party A and Party B.
Just when she thought that the two of them would get along in this way after that, a man suddenly appeared, once again throwing her relationship with him into chaos.
