Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Old Woman's Wisdom and Persistence
"Didn't you say that your family moved away five years ago, so where are you going to live?"
Bai Yuxue took a bite of food and said firmly: "First find a place where you can work with room and board, and when he comes out, we will start a business together, I don't believe that I can't support myself." ”
The old lady nodded appreciatively: "Good job, Snow girl, you will definitely be able to do it." ”
Back in the box, Bai Yulan had already prepared Bai Yuxue's medicine, and she served Bai Yuxue to take the medicine before she sat down and began to eat the food she brought back.
After Bai Yuxue finished taking the medicine, she took a few fruits and washed them.
The old lady sat opposite Magnolia and persuaded her: "Girl, you eat more, see that you eat like a swallow medicine." ”
Magnolia nodded embarrassedly and sped up her meal.
The old lady said, "Listen to me while you eat." Hong Kong is very prosperous, you should check it out. And this training is good for your future and can change the fate of you and your family. There are often only a few important choices in a person's life, and you can't miss it, girl. ”
Magnolia looked up at the old lady with some doubts. Didn't the old man want to leave her sons the most? She had said that her two sons were all she had, and how could she possibly let them hurt emotionally? Was she testing me?
Magnolia smiled reluctantly: "Thank you, madam." I won't go to Hong Kong, and I won't go to Shanghai again. I want to stay in the county and find a job with my mother. However, during your time in the county, I will stay with you until you leave smoothly. ”
The old lady shook her head: "You are a smart child, so I won't go around in circles with you." About my two sons, Ah Tong and Ah Shu, can you tell me what you think?"
Mrs. Ouyang bluntly asked Bai Yulan what she thought of her two sons, which made Bai Yulan frightened, and quickly said, "Madam, you misunderstood. Ou Tongyang is my favorite actor, he plays a judge who is my most admired idol, that's all; as for Ouyang Shu, we are just colleagues, he is my superior, my boss, and he has experienced some things together by mistake, which has caused rumors outside, but in fact, there is nothing. ”
The old lady shook her head gently: "Girl, you also heard Ah Tong sing and confess in public, I believe you understand his thoughts, that child is ignorant of the world, pure in heart, pursues perfection, sensitive and kind, strong and persistent, this is the first time he has publicly expressed his feelings." As for Ah Shu, he has always been cautious and unassuming, but for you, he has become the headline of the entertainment version, do you still think that he has no affection for you?"
The old lady's words hit Magnolia, leaving her speechless. This is a shrewd old man, and any disguise is useless in front of her, and any justification seems weak. Thinking of Ou Tongyang's affectionate confession on stage, and thinking of Ouyang Shu's promise of never giving up, Magnolia's heart was in turmoil.
"Girl, don't be so painful, the old woman doesn't mean to reproach you. The so-called 'My Fair Lady, Good Gentleman', these are very normal. However, Ah Shu is a family man, and he can't do anything out of the ordinary anymore. Although Ah Tong has nothing to worry about, he can't have anything to do with you and hurt his brother's feelings. You're a smart girl, and you're a good boy, I saw it that day, and I believe you didn't mean it. So, you still have to help the old woman deal with this matter, you help me, and I will help you, right?"
Magnolia's eyes were red, although the old lady didn't blame her, in fact, she still had some self-blame in her heart, after all, she had caused this emotional debt and made the old man worried. She even began to suspect that she might have made a mistake when she went to Shanghai, that it did not belong to her, that it belonged to someone with a strong heart, not a cautious person like herself, who was afraid of causing trouble. She whispered, "Mrs. Ouyang, I really didn't mean to. I will leave forever, I will never go to Shanghai again, I will not watch or listen, in the future, Ouyang ...... , No, in the future, everyone will forget that there is a person named Magnolia. ”
The old lady shook her head: "Silly boy, you still don't know my two children." Originally, they were just looking for curiosity, just like seeing a fresh toy, they would naturally be happy, they would think about it day and night, put it in their hands and play with it, and they would be anxious if they couldn't see it at a glance. If you do dodge, it will stimulate the fun of their search. These two brothers are persistent people, hey!"
Magnolia took her bag, unzipped the back, took out a DVD from it, and handed it to the old lady: "Madam, please believe me, I promise, I will never let them find me if I don't read or listen again." ”
The old lady took the disc and saw the stills of Ou Tongyang printed on it, knowing that this was the disc of Ou Tongyang's film and television drama, she couldn't help but sigh secretly: This kid still has Ah Tong in his heart, and he still carries his disc with him. She put away the disc, looked at Magnolia, and said, "Do you think that if you dodge, everything will be fine, and you won't hurt anyone?"
Magnolia didn't speak, but she really thought so in her heart. She remembered that Wang Wenbin said that if you want to dispel suspicion, the best way is to stay away, always not together, and outsiders will slowly forget. Then, if two people don't see each other, after a long time, the relationship will fade, and they will naturally forget about each other.
"You're wrong, girl. Now there are high-speed rail, planes, and the Internet, and there is no way to find someone who wants to do so. My two children I know that they are not the kind of people who are willing to give up easily, and your avoidance may have made them more interested in pursuing. Kid, don't you want to get away with it!"
Magnolia suddenly remembered that Ouyang Shu had said that his brother would help his brother come to her. What should we do, do we still have to be involved with them? They are like a whirlwind, they are like people from another world, they are estranged from her, they are more like a painting, fascinating, touchable, but never able to enter. With them, in addition to being happy and surprised, in fact, there is also nervousness, she doesn't know what will happen in the next second, she can't control it, the future is at a loss, far from being like in the small county town of her hometown, everything is going according to plan, and now she can see her old life.
Magnolia looked at the old lady, shook her head and said, "I didn't think so, really." I don't scheming about others, and I'm not kind enough to hurt myself for others, I just don't like to live out of control, and I don't want to get caught up in feelings that I don't have the slightest certainty. I don't know what to do, what else can I do if I can't dodge?
"I know, you're not a bad boy. In fact, what you can do now is to be self-reliant, and stop letting them worry about you and pity you. My two children, although they have not seen much of the world, but they have seen a lot of strong women, if you become a strong, independent, self-reliant girl, maybe they will lose their interest in hunting. So, you should go to Hong Kong and learn as you go, and I'm sure you'll be successful soon. ”
Magnolia shook her head and replied, "Thank you for your kindness. I will live well, I will be self-reliant, and I don't have to go to Hong Kong. ”
The old lady was a little anxious: "You kid, why are you so stubborn! I like you very much, and I want you to go to Hong Kong to accompany me, an old woman, can't you? The old man softened his tone and continued: "Lan girl, in fact, our goal is the same, you want to control your own destiny, not to be troubled by feelings, I want my two children to live happily, you don't want to have emotional relations with them, why don't I want them to be able to maintain their own small family, and the other can find an ideal marriage partner! So, only by going to Hong Kong can we solve the problem well, right?"
Bai Yulan saw that the old lady was anxious, and hurriedly comforted: "Madam, don't worry, it's not a day or two to go to Hong Kong, this matter is too big, I need to go back and discuss it with my mother, and then reply to you." ”
At this point, Magnolia believed that the old lady really wanted her to go to Hong Kong, although she was not sure if the reason was really what she said. Over the years, Magnolia has trusted many people, and there are too many people who have disappointed her, and she is no longer so easy to trust others. But Mrs. Ouyang's sincerity, she can still deeply understand, no matter what Mrs. Ouyang's reason is, but she believes that it is all goodwill, and she will definitely not harm herself.
Bai Yuxue had been standing at the door of the box, and when she heard that there was no sound inside, she walked in with the fruit.
In the evening, Mrs. Ouyang couldn't help but smile with relief when she saw Bai Yulan turn on the computer.
In the dining car, Bai Yuxue accompanied Mrs. Ouyang to dinner, while continuing her speech:
"It was very cold that winter, and the snow on the ground on the campus hadn't melted since October, so I was living on campus and studying late every day to prepare for the college entrance examination. I hadn't seen Tu Daqing for a long time, and suddenly one day he came to me and said that the police knew about it, and many people had been arrested. I freaked out and asked him what to do, and he said that no one knew about me because he had never slapped me in the face, so I forgot about it and studied as if it had never happened. He said that he had already confessed, so he had to turn himself in, and he consulted, and if he turned himself in, he would only be sentenced to three years, and he asked me to start pretending that I didn't know him. I told him to run away, but he said he wouldn't see me again, and he didn't want to do that. He told me to wait for him for three years, and after three years if he could come out without any problems, he would come to me, no matter where I was. I cried so badly that I really couldn't bear him.
