Mei Shan, who was supposed to sleep in the bedroom, appeared here for some reason, as if she had been waiting for a long time.

Mei Shan was the first to look at Jianwan on the side, and said coldly: "It's okay to see the embroidery, why are you messing around with them." ”

Seeing that Wan pursed her lips, she didn't make a sound.

Even if she hated Wen Jianning no matter how much she hated it, she knew who she should be on the same side as in the villa behind her.

Wen Jianning's voice was nervous and dry: "Aunt Mei Shan, you are the only one here." ”

She used declarative sentences.

At the moment, she didn't have time to think about why Mei Shan was here at the moment, she knew very well that if the person standing in front of her was Wen Jingshu, her escape this time would have come to an end. But if it's just Mei Shan, maybe she still has a glimmer of life.

Even if he knew that this glimmer of vitality was slim, Wen Jianning had to fight as hard as he could.

This is the only chance she has left.

Wen Jianning's mind was already in a mess, but the more she was in this situation, the more calm the expression on her face became: "Aunt Mei Shan, you said something to me many years ago, and I still remember it. ”

Wen Jianning said as he slowly cleared his thoughts: "You told me back then that the people of the Wen family are bad from the roots. The family is going to send us to marriage in the future, and this is clear to all of us. But you and your aunt want to keep us and let us repay you. I might as well take the liberty of asking, how are you going to divide your aunt and you?"

Lightning flashed through the sky, illuminating her face and her apricot eyes brighter.

The rumbling thunder came from the sky, and the other two people next to him were a little frightened, so they could only grasp each other's hands.

Wen Jianning met Mei Shan's cold gaze and continued: "Now that the old lady is still alive, you are still the aunt and wife of the Wen family, and you still have a place in the villa, the mid-level villa is your aunt's private property, and your food and clothing are all given to you by the Wen family." But if you wait for a few years for the old lady to go, and the Wen family is no longer on your side, what will you do to fight with your aunt. ”

"In fact, you, like us, are all living by looking at other people's faces. ”

Wen Jianning never knew that she could be so sharp and analyze the other party's situation calmly at such a critical juncture, but she knew that she had to continue.

She scrutinized the woman in front of her.

Mei Shan is no longer young.

Although the beautiful woman who took her away from Mingshui Town back then has always paid attention to maintenance, after all, the years are ruthless, and no matter how beautiful her face is, it is no longer as moving as when she first saw her.

Similarly, Wen Jianning is no longer the country girl who could only let others take her away.

She knew that in the past few years, Mei Shan and Wen Jingshu, two good sisters, had had a few unpleasant times because of jealousy, although they were quickly resolved, but she didn't believe that Mei Shan would not have any pimples in her heart.

"I believe that you are waiting for us here alone today, and you must have saved my thoughts of letting me live. ”

"If you let me go today, not only me, but also my cousins, and even the embroidered women, will remember your righteous deeds today. When you have trouble in the future, I will not sit idly by. But if you think about it carefully, if you force me to stay and send me away, what will my cousins think in the future, and them, will they hate you for being implicated by me? ”

Mei Shan looked at her coldly, as if she was estimating what Wen Jianning had said.

The rain poured down from the edge of the umbrella, the night was too dark, and the two sides were close at hand, and it was difficult for Wen Jianning to see her expression clearly, let alone speculate on Mei Shan's thoughts.

She thought that if it really didn't work, there were three people on their side, at least they could rush over and beat Mei Shan unconscious and tie her up, and then let her go after Wen Jianning left. It's just that this method is too rough and completely offends Mei Shan, although she can walk away, but they will definitely be angered when they see embroidery.

She could only bet that her words would impress Mei Shan and let her let them go.

The girls had never felt that time was so long, and every minute and second would be painful.

Finally, Mei Shan suddenly moved, and walked towards the few of them step by step.

The three girls held their breath as if they were facing a great enemy, and grabbed the closest person to them, as if waiting for the verdict of fate.

The sound of the rushing rain could not hide the crisp sound of the heels of their shoes knocking on the ground, step by step, step by step, step by step, as if it was striking heavily on their hearts. And when Mei Shan walked up to them, as if she didn't see their presence, she suddenly passed them straight past them and walked towards the gate of the villa in the night.

It wasn't until the sound of high heels died away that the girls recovered from their shock and breathed a sigh of relief

Even Wen Jianning, who was still calm and composed, only felt that her legs were weak, but fortunately, she was able to barely stand firm with the help of Jianxiu next to her. Even she didn't expect that Mei Shan was really willing to let them go.

Seeing Wan tugging at Jianxiu, she said in a low voice: "Send her off for the last time, I'll go and watch Mei Shan, lest this woman regret it again." After saying that, she also pushed the embroidery hard.

Seeing that Xiu reacted at this time, he hurriedly took Wen Jianning's hand and ran down the slope together.

Watching their backs gradually disappear in the rainy night, Jian Wan turned around and chased after Mei Shan who was walking in front.

The wind rattled the tall trees on both sides of the road, and the rain flowed into a rushing stream on both sides of the road. The two of them had never run so recklessly as at this moment, as if there was a flood beast chasing after them. The umbrella in their hands seemed to be an ornament, and the rain splashed almost on their faces.

It wasn't until they ran all the way down the hill that they saw a small black car parked on the side of the road in front of them.

In such a dark and rainy night, it almost blended into the night, if it hadn't suddenly turned on the headlights to signal, otherwise it would have been difficult for Wen Jianning and the others to discover its existence.

The black car slowly drove forward for a while and then stopped, as if waiting for them to say their final goodbyes.

Both girls knew that it was finally time to say goodbye.

Jianxiu said in a low voice: "If you settle down, remember to write to tell me." ”

Wen Jianning took her hand and refused to let go: "Jianxiu, you can go with me." Whether we go to Guangzhou to find Pachinko, or Shanghai to find Mr. Qi, we leave Hong Kong together and never come back. ”

She knew very well in her heart that if she didn't leave with her this time, she was afraid that it would be more difficult to get out in the future.

Jianxiu looked into the distance and avoided her gaze: "I can't leave, there are many unsatisfactory places to stay in the villa, but at least it can give me the life I want." ”

Wen Jianning grabbed her and still refused to let go: "You can draw, you can speak English, you have many, many strengths, we can make money by ourselves and live the life we want." Even if you don't earn enough money to support yourself, there's me. ”

"Do you think the money we make can buy a car or a mid-mountain villa," Jianxiu gently withdrew his hand, "Jianning, I am different from you and Jianwan." ”

Speaking of this, her beautiful face also has a little gloom.

Seeing that Wan is smart and beautiful, although she has a strong personality, there is no shortage of suitors like Lu Jiajun who are willing to hold her in the palm of her hand, she doesn't have to run away at all, she can easily marry a good family;

But she's different.

Among the sisters, she is the most mediocre in appearance, she has no talent in reading, and her personality is extremely cowardly. Only by relying on the so-called obedience and thoughtfulness can barely be rejected by others. If she leaves the Wen family's villa, what good home can she have.

Wen Jianning said anxiously: "See embroidery, I'm very rich, I have a lot of money." I've been writing all these years, and I've saved enough money to settle down in Shanghai for a while. Although the money may not be enough to buy a car or a villa, I will try. Let's go together and never come back here again. ”

"I know all of that. It's just that I didn't expect that it has been several years, and you have not completely told me the truth until today," Jianxiu smiled with tears in her eyes, "Actually, you knew in your heart a long time ago that I wouldn't go with you, right?"

Seeing the embroidery's words, it hit the place that Wen Jianning didn't dare to face in his heart.

She really wanted to take Jianxiu away, but in fact, it was just her wishful thinking, and she always knew that Jianxiu wanted to stay in the villa. As Jianxiu himself said, even if there are many disadvantages in the villa, at least the life is stable and the food and clothing are worry-free. And now that the world outside is so chaotic, even Wen Jianning herself is not sure if she can stand firm in today's world alone.

Wen Jianning looked at Jianxiu in a daze for a while, speechless.

Jianxiu chuckled self-deprecatingly: "Okay, I know you must look down on me in your heart now, but you have yours, and I have my way." If you can see you again in the future, you are still willing to recognize me as a worthless sister, and say hello to me. If not, it's nothing, and we should have never known each other. ”

Wen Jianning said abruptly: "Don't say such things. ”

How could she not recognize the embroidery, how could she look down on her.

When she was originally a black and ugly country girl, the entire Wen family was only one who would take the initiative to release kindness to her. If she can't even look down on embroidery, then what is she herself?

The two stood in the rain, and neither of them spoke for a long time.

A gust of wind suddenly blew in the rain, blowing the umbrella to the side, so that the embroidery could hardly hold it.

Wen Jianning's hand slowly lifted and held her hand tightly upward.

The two of them clutched the umbrella tightly together, pinching their knuckles so white that they turned white.

In such an instant, the suspicions, misunderstandings, and disputes of the past two months become unimportant.

The rain still slapped on his face with the wind unhindered, and the umbrella in his hand would no longer be shaky. It's just that they can't tell for a moment whether the tears or rain on their faces at this moment are tears.

Still saw Xiuxian wipe the tears on his face indiscriminately, and urged: "Okay, you go quickly, don't look back." ”

Wen Jianning didn't hesitate this time, she finally took a deep look at Jianxiu, as if to engrave her face in her mind, and then turned around without looking back, braving the rain and running to the car in front of her.

She left Jianxiu in the rain, leaving everything in the Wen family's villa completely behind.

The bright headlights pierce through the rain and fog, as if a lighthouse beckons a traveler in the dark.

Leaving only Jianxiu alone, standing alone in the dark and dreary rainy night with an umbrella, looking at the familiar figure, he ran to the bright place in front of him without looking back.
