Lin Rongshen said: "Aren't you more arrogant than my secretary?"

I smiled and said, "Don't dare to be." ”

I didn't think it was interesting to dwell on it any longer, so I got up from the couch, looked at him and asked, "You really don't agree?"

Lin Rongshen said: "Do you still need to ask about this matter? Didn't I tell you the answer very clearly?"

I said, "If that's the case, then I have to do something else." I paused and said, "I don't have to bother you to hire a security guard now, I'll go myself." ”

After I said this, I picked up the bag in my hand, straightened my back and left straight from Lin Rongshen's side, until I walked to the elevator door, and found that Lin Rongshen's little secretary Qin Qing was waiting for me there, I didn't plan to pay attention to her, my eyes looked straight ahead, and I pressed the floor I was going to if no one was around. The little secretary stood aside and said, "Miss Xia, it seems that the relationship between you and our Manager Lin is not good." ”

I waited silently for the elevator door, not even looking at her.

She added, "I don't think you are worthy of Manager Lin at all. ”

Her words made me turn my face to her for a moment, she didn't think that her words were inappropriate, with a dazzling smile on the corner of her mouth, she said: "You are right, Manager Lin is now married, judging from the way the two of you talked just now, it proves that the marriage relationship between you is not as happy as you imagined, that is, if it is not happy, if it is unpleasant, it means that you will definitely divorce in the future, since you will divorce sooner or later, then why can't I come to compete with you?"

I asked, "What do you want to say?" ”

She smiled and said, "I want to compete with you fairly Manager Lin, although I am his subordinate, it doesn't mean that my subordinates can't like their boss." ”

I thought it was a little ridiculous, and I said, "You're going to compete with me?"

She replied without question, "That's for sure." ”

That is to say, she is now declaring war with me, I thought in my heart, the little girl is really getting braver now, much braver than before, like a person, no matter whether the other party is married or not, no matter what the other party is, like is like, like must get, it is really naked and a little arrogant.

It seems that the word morality is no longer in her dictionary at all.

I wasn't angry, although her tone was so much that I wanted to slap her, but at this time, the more you were furious, the more you made the other party weaker, and it was just a little girl, why should I bother with her, so I smiled generously and said: "Okay, as long as you can take it, I am very welcome." ”

As I said that, the elevator doors finally opened, and I walked slowly towards the elevator.

The little secretary stood outside the elevator door and watched me.

After the elevator door closed, the smile on the corner of my mouth was put away little by little, and I looked at me reflected on the elevator door with an expressionless face, this is the first time in my life that I have been so blatantly challenged, it is really interesting, but unfortunately, I never thought about fighting for anything, she will take it if she wants, as long as she can take it.

Out of Lin Rongshen's company, when I was about to stop the car on the side of the road to go back, my mother called me, I glanced at the call reminder, just fed, my mother asked me a question on the other end of the phone, she said: "Is Zhan Dong dead?"

I was caught off guard by the question.

I was stunned for a few seconds, then looked at the road in front of me and whispered, "How do you know?" ”

My mom said on the phone, "How long are you going to hide it from me?"

I asked again, "How do you know?" ”

My mother said in an extremely cold tone on the phone: "You ask me how do you know? Do you think you hide it very well? Do you think if you don't tell me, no one will tell me? Charare, you go outside and come back, you go and listen to what the neighbors in the neighborhood say about you, saying that you are a slut, and after the divorce, you went to your ex-husband's house in the middle of the night to seduce him, but you didn't expect to be caught and raped by his wife in bed, causing Zhan Dong to be killed by his wife, saying that you are a broom star, the culprit, don't you say this, do you think others will not say it?!"

I don't know how the outside world spread the events of that day, when Zhan Dong died, it was really a big fuss, and I didn't have the energy to pay attention to so much during that time, to care so much, when I heard my mother say these words, I took a deep breath and said: "It's not what they say, what is it called catching a rapist in bed? This is simply a false slander." ”

My mother said, "Then I ask you, what about your child?"

My grip on the phone tightened.

My mom said, "Is it gone?"

I said, "I was trying to tell you about it during this time, but because of your health, I didn't tell you. ”

My mother said, "Charlais, what did I tell you before you got married, this is the path you have chosen, and you have to take it well? But what about you? Not only did you not walk well, but you also made your life a miasma, a mess, and even caused such a big thing as human life!

My mother seemed to be too excited, and after saying this, she coughed violently, I felt that the situation was wrong, and immediately calmed her emotions and said, "Mom, I will personally come over to explain to you about Zhan Dong." ”

My mother said, "Don't say anything about me, Charle, I don't have a daughter like you!"

After she said this, she hung up the phone directly.

I had to rush to the hospital, and when I got there, my mother was squatting on the balcony and didn't know what she was doing, and when I approached her, I found that she was burning money paper into a basin, and I was burning and reading it in pieces, and at first I didn't hear what she was reading, but after standing there and listening carefully for a while, I realized that she was reciting the Sutra of the Past Death.

After reading for a while, she heard the movement behind her, so she turned her face to look at me, and when she saw me standing there, she didn't pay any attention to me, and continued to burn the money paper into the brazier, and when it was almost burned, she suddenly stood up, and without thinking about it, I didn't even expect it, and she gave me a slap directly.

The force of this slap knocked me back a few steps in an instant, and my mother pointed at me with her finger and said with red eyes: "Charlelai, what is there about Zhan Dong who is sorry for you, you want to hurt him like this?!"

In fact, my mother has always been quite satisfied with Zhan Dong's son-in-law, and when she suddenly heard the news of his death, she naturally couldn't accept it, and she definitely couldn't accept the fact that Zhan Dong died for me.

She said with tears on her face: "Do you know? Although you and Zhan Dong have not had a smooth relationship for so many years, I have always been very satisfied with him? Do you think I am afraid that you and Lin Rongshen will be together again, so I don't dislike him? Charlai, you think of me too dirty, as a mother I am not such a selfish person, for so many years I have never disliked the reason why Zhan Dong does not match our family, is because he is very good at being a person, you know? When I was sick, and as your own daughter, you didn't know it, it was he who put down his work and took me to the hospital to line up for a check-up, when I wanted to eat, it was he who tried his best to come for me, every year he gave me a sum of money in order to thank me for my support to him at the beginning, saying that he wanted to repay my financial help to him back then, you have been married for so many years, you have been lukewarm to him, he has never said anything, nor forced you to do anything, has been cooperating with your dead temper, your dead shortcomings, but now? After the divorce, why did you go to him? Didn't you say that you loved Lin Rongshen, but why did you still get entangled with him?

I didn't refute my mother's words, I didn't move, I just stood there in a decadent posture and listened quietly.

My mother burst into tears, she had long regarded Zhan Dong as her son.

She cried and said: "Charlai, I am your mother, so all along, I can tolerate all of you, but I can't bear this matter, Zhan Dong died like this, a living person is gone, how can you let me accept it?"

She was so angry that she walked straight to the bed, and when she sat down, she covered her face with her hands and cried out loud.

I just stood there and listened, and nothing happened.

Everyone is accusing me of this incident as my fault, yes, I shouldn't have run away from home in a fit of anger after arguing with Lin Rongshen that night, and I shouldn't have followed Zhan Dong home, if I hadn't gone with him, if I could have noticed him earlier and pushed him away when he pounced on me, things wouldn't have turned out like this at all, and he wouldn't have died at all.

I'm the murderer, the culprit.

I listened to my mother's cry, and my body slowly slipped off the balcony door frame with some weakness, and I fell to my knees on the ground, looking at the thousands of flames in the brazier, unable to say a word.

My mother was crying hoarsely, and when she cried to the back, she looked at me who was kneeling on the ground as if she had lost her soul, and asked, "What happened that day? ”

I don't know where to start, I just shook my head and said in a hoarse voice, "Mom, let the past pass." ”

My mother said excitedly, "How can I get over? O living people! It's gone, I don't know what is going on, how can I give up? You have to explain to me today how it happened." ”

It took me a lot of strength to say the first sentence, I said, "Zhan Dong died to save me...... Then...... At the time......"

My voice trembled.

"At that time, this incident happened very suddenly, and the time was very short, his wife suddenly took a knife to kill me, and when I reacted, I was pushed away by Zhan Dong, and he was stabbed in the chest with a knife, and he lost a lot of ...... Blood. ”
