144 Chapter 144
Nanxi's heart was sometimes like a fire in oil, and he couldn't wait to rush out and find the way away, and bite him a few times. Sometimes it's like ice and snow, full of despair about this inexplicable world, and just wants to be like my sister, completely losing knowledge of this world.
Compared to her suffering, Nanhe was much more comfortable. Presumably she doesn't understand what it means to happen to her, for her, except for painting and missing her brother Jiaxiang, there is nothing big in the world.
Lu Zaiyuan still came, but Nanxi didn't allow him to enter the door and refused to see him.
He sat on the steps outside the door and smoked, one cigarette after another, until midnight, when he drove away.
The next morning, Auntie could always sweep out a pile of cigarette butts from under the steps.
Lu Zai was a non-smoker before, but since this incident, he can't find out clearly, and he can't explain it, so he is full of bitterness and has nowhere to tell, so he can only use tobacco to numb his painful heart.
There is also nowhere to say about the suffering, Nanxi, the ugliness of the family should not be publicized, such an ugly thing, she didn't even dare to say it, she could only hold it in her heart.
But she didn't go to work because she was sick, and after a long time, it still made those who cared about her suspicious.
That afternoon, she sat at the window of the living room, lazily basking in the sun and drowsy.
The doorbell rang, and the aunt ran to the door to look, turned her head and asked her, "Xiaoxi, Mr. Liao is here, let him in?" ”
Without waiting for Nanxi to answer her, Liao Yijiang was already shouting at the door: "Xiaoxi! I know you're at home! If you don't open the door, I'll climb over the wall and climb the window! ”
Nanxi raised her drowsy head, sighed, and said to her aunt, "Let him in." ”
The door opened, Liao Yijiang strode in, came directly to Nanxi, and looked down at her: "What's wrong with you?" I haven't been at work for so many days, what's wrong? ”
Nan Xi pulled his hair and said lazily: "It's not good, it's just a minor illness and recuperating at home for a while...... I'm not a working machine, can't I rest? ”
"What disease? Have you ever been to the hospital? What do doctors say? Do you want to be hospitalized? Liao Yijiang asked repeatedly.
Nanxi tilted his head and leaned against the window pane, and replied casually: "I've seen it, the doctor said it's not a big deal, just rest for a while." ”
Liao Yijiang sat on the windowsill angrily and stared at her face: "Hey! Don't you understand my question? What is wrong with you? Is it sick in the heart? Or is it sick in the head? ”
Nanxi smiled reluctantly: "I'm sick in my heart!" I'm sick in my head, too! Incurable disease, are you satisfied? ”
Liao Yijiang pulled her face: "Don't you want to say yes?" Okay then, I'll take you to the hospital now, I'll listen to what the doctor says......"
Nanxi pulled away his hand: "Don't make trouble, I'm just tired, fatigue, have you heard of this disease?" Overworked, uncomfortable. ”
When she said this, Liao Yijiang believed it a little. How tired she is, Liao Yijiang knows. He used to always say: "I really can't imagine that you have such a huge amount of energy in your small body, and so many things at home and outside the home can't even be difficult for you." But you still have to take care of yourself, don't exhaust yourself......"
Looking at her now, it seems that she is really tired, she has not seen her for many days, she has lost a lot of weight, leaning there, like a sick cat, and her complexion is also very bad.
"A good friend of my father is the director of the Chinese medicine hospital, I will take you to him and ask him to find an old Chinese medicine doctor to diagnose your pulse and prescribe a prescription for recuperation." He suggested.
Nanxi shook his head: "Thank you, I can't smell the smell of Chinese medicine since I was a child, and I want to vomit when I smell it, let alone let me drink Chinese medicine soup." I don't care, you don't have to worry. You should pay more attention to yourself, are you still adapting to the new company and new job? How are you getting along with Xiao An? ”
Liao Yijiang grinned: "Do you still know that you care about me?" After so many days and not even a phone call, I thought you had forgotten about me as an old friend. ”
"How so? You've helped me so much, I've always remembered it. But it's not convenient for me to call you often, right? Xiao An will be unhappy. Nanxi didn't want to talk about herself, so she successfully shifted the topic to Liao Yijiang.
Liao Yijiang shook his head helplessly: "Xiao An...... She's a good girl...... But I'm probably too old to get used to the rhythm of their young girls, so I always feel tired with her. ”
Nanxi smiled: "Nonsense! You are only a young man, and you dare to say that you are old? Xiao An is a little more lively, that's her strength, you have to learn to appreciate your girlfriend's strength. ”
"She's so clingy, and since I've been dating her, my phone has been ringing at any time, and the first thing she says is that she has to ask me where I am...... And I'm not used to her life, as long as I get off work, I just go shopping, eat and watch movies, I'm a big man, haunting shopping malls, restaurants, and movie theaters all day long, how can I be so idle? Liao Yijiang frowned and spat bitterness to Nanxi.
"Shopping, eating, and watching movies...... Nan Xi repeated his words, his eyes looking at the sky outside the window, "How good, how long has it been since I went shopping and watched a movie easily?" Xiao An is a carefree girl who can enjoy life to the fullest. You should cherish it, a simple life is happy......"
Liao Yijiang smiled bitterly and didn't say anything more.
He didn't speak, and Nanxi didn't know what to say, so the two fell into silence.
After a long while, Liao Yijiang spoke: "Have you paid attention to the recent news?" Deng Jiaxiang's matter was very troublesome, not only stealing Old Man Zhao's treasure, but also embezzling the company's public funds, which is a large amount...... Moreover, recently, several second-rate female stars in the entertainment industry reported to the police, saying that Deng Jiaxiang accepted their money and promised to let them be heroines in the new drama filmed by Zhao's Entertainment, until Deng Jiaxiang was arrested, these female stars did not know that Deng Jiaxiang received money from several of them, but promised them the same role, and the drama has already started filming, and the protagonist has no part in them, they were angry and accused Deng Jiaxiang of fraud......"
"Don't tell me about this man, I don't know him at all." Nanxi sighed regretfully, "From the moment he married Pei Jiaoqian, his tragedy began. He was like a wolf that had grown up eating grass, and when he finally tasted meat, he hated to kill himself with meat. ”
"I used to be colleagues with him in Zhimei, and at that time I only thought he was a very ambitious person, but I didn't expect him to do such crazy things...... Very smart guy, it's a pity. Liao Yijiang sighed.
At this time, Nanhe woke up from a nap and walked out of the room. Seeing Liao Yijiang, she smiled at him.
"Oops! Xiaohe even remembered me. Liao Yijiang was very happy.
"Buy stars......" Nanhe covered her mouth, indicating that she remembered Liao Yijiang.
There are really few people in Nanhe who are willing to take the initiative, so Liao Yijiang is very proud. He jumped down from the windowsill, walked in front of Nanhe, and talked to her: "Do you have any good paintings of Xiaohe recently?" Can you give me a view? ”
Nanhe nodded happily, took Liao Yijiang's hand, and led him to the studio.
Nanxi had no choice but to follow him to the studio.
Nanhe showed Liao Yijiang his recently completed paintings one by one. Liao Yijiang admired and admired at the same time, coaxing Nanhe very happy, simply pressed him to a chair and sat down, and began to paint a portrait of him.
It takes hours to paint a portrait, and Nanhe can do whatever he wants, completely ignoring the feelings of others. But Nanxi felt that it was too difficult for Liao Yijiang, so he said: "Xiaohe, Brother Yijiang is very busy, can he paint when he is free?" ”
"I'm not busy!" Liao Yijiang hurriedly retorted to her, "I'm very idle today, it's rare that Xiaohe is interested in painting a portrait of me, don't make trouble!" Xiaohe paints me well, and in the future you will become a famous painter, and my portrait will be worth a lot! Brother Yijiang's life in the second half of his life is counting on your portrait, haha! ”
He was smiling heartily when his phone rang. He glanced at it, didn't answer, and turned off his phone.
He is willing to cooperate, Xiaohe is willing to paint, and Nanxi has no way.
Time flowed in the quiet studio, and soon an hour passed.
Nanxi leaned on the sofa chair at the door and fell asleep. When I opened my eyes, Liao Yijiang was still sitting there, and under Nanhe's brush, a portrait of Liao Yijiang sitting obliquely sitting at the window reading a book was already half completed.
"You can really sit still, I'll go pour you a cup of tea." Nanxi moved off the sofa and went to the kitchen to boil water to make tea.
As soon as the water boiled, the doorbell rang again.
It's really lively today, who is here?
It was rare that she was in the mood to meet a guest today, so she went to open the door. As soon as the door opened, I saw Xiao An standing outside the door with a straight face: "Sister Xiaoxi, is my family Yijiang here?" ”
"Here, please come in!" Nanxi welcomed her into the door very warmly, but she was a little embarrassed in her heart.
Xiao An unceremoniously rushed into the house, and when he didn't see Liao Yijiang's figure, he stood in the living room and shouted: "Liao Yijiang!" Liao Yijiang! ”
She shouted so loudly, obviously angry. Nanxi hurriedly walked over: "He is in the studio, you come with me." ”
Xiao An followed behind Nanxi, entered the studio, saw Liao Yijiang for the first time, and asked: "Liao Yijiang!" Why didn't you answer my phone? Why should it be shut down? ”
Liao Yijiang's body didn't move, he just glanced at her and said, "Didn't you see Xiaohe painting a portrait of me?" I can't move until she's done, don't you understand? ”
Xiao An glanced at the portrait that Xiao He was painting and snorted, "What are you talking about?" Can't answer my phone call if you draw a portrait? Is it important to paint portraits? Or is it important to answer my call? ”
"It's important to draw a portrait." Liao Yijiang didn't think about it, so he replied to her.
Xiao An was so angry that his cheeks bulged: "Okay! Portrait is important! Then you can live here! Don't look for me! I'm going to break up with you! ”
After speaking, Xiao An turned around and ran out of the studio and rushed out of the door.
She came like a gust of wind, and ran away like another gust of wind, which made Nanxi very embarrassed. She chased Xiao An a few steps, but didn't catch up, and turned around to urge Liao Yijiang: "Xiao An is angry, you go chase her." ”
Liao Yijiang didn't raise his eyelids: "She wants to break up every three days or five days, if I chase after me back, I won't be tired to death?" ”
"Stop drawing! Don't paint Xiaohe, Brother Yijiang has something to leave, so I'll continue painting another day, okay? As Nanxi spoke, he went over to Laliao and got up.
"Don't move!" Xiaohe ordered impatiently.
Liao Yijiang also refused to cooperate, and pushed her away: "You go away, if I move, the front will be painted in vain!" ”
Nanxi had no choice but to leave the studio depressed and sit in the living room watching TV and drinking tea.
After another half hour or so, the door of the house was pushed open with a bang. Nanxi thought that Xiao An was unwilling, and came back to find Liao Yijiang. When I turned my head, it turned out to be Lu Zaiyuan rushing in!
Since the two of them returned from the detention center together, he has never been able to set foot in this house. Nanxi didn't allow him to enter the door, so he really didn't enter the door. Every night, he parked his car outside her yard, sat on the steps and started smoking.
Nanxi looked at him a few times through the window, and his back always made her sad and crying. Later, every time she heard his car parked outside the door, she would close the curtains and stop looking at him.
After all, she hadn't seen his face in a few days. He broke in so coldly and appeared in front of her, which surprised her.
His hair was long, and his long curls made him look decadent and haggard. His cheeks were slightly sunken, and his chin was pointed. His eyes were full of grievances, and he exuded the smell of wine, and he opened his mouth to speak, and his words were not very clear: "I heard...... Heard you have guests at home? ”
"You've been drinking?" Nan Xi smelled the smell of wine on his body, and jumped up angrily, "You're still drinking!" Are you human? Get out! Don't let me see you! ”
"Why should I get out? Others can be guests at your house, and so can I! Lu Zaiyuan spoke, swayed and fell on the sofa, tilted his body to look at Nanxi, "I thought you were really sad, you didn't see anyone!" So you're still willing to see people! You just don't like me, do you? ”
Nanxi thought, it must be that after Xiao An ran out, he couldn't wait for Liao Yijiang to chase him out, so he called Lu Zaiyuan in anger, otherwise how could he know that Liao Yijiang was here?
She was already angry that he was still drinking, and she didn't bother to explain it to him, so she said, "Yes! Anyone can enter my house, but you can't! Hurry up! Drunks are not welcome in my house! ”
"Me? Sot? Do you think I'm willing to do that? You forced me! As Lu Zaiyuan spoke, he had already rushed to Nanxi's side and reached out to put his arm around her shoulder.
Nanxi hurriedly dodged, but was pushed back into the sofa by him: "Why are you doing this to me?" I didn't hurt Xiaohe! Why don't you believe me? You keep saying you love me, but you don't believe me when something happens! Do you love me? Do you love me? ”
Lu Zaiyuan was a little drunk, his mouth didn't open the door, and he didn't care about anyone at home, so he started talking nonsense!
Nanxi was terrified! Quickly cover his mouth: "Shut up!" Get out of here! ”
Lu Zaiyuan tore her hand away, pushed her down, and pressed the whole person on top of her: "You don't have the right to drive me away!" I paid the rent! You're my wife! Why should I go? You have to listen to me, I didn't do anything bad to Xiaohe! You're going to trust me......"
Although he was slurred, his voice was loud. Nanxi thought to himself: It's over, Liao Yijiang must have heard it!
She was extremely angry, and used all her strength to push Lu Zaiyuan down. Then she rolled over and got up, grabbed Lu Ziyuan's arm, and dragged him out of the door.
Lu Zaiyuan was so drunk that his body was unstable, and he was dragged out by her. When he turned around to enter the house again, the door had already been closed by Nanxi!
He slammed the door hard: "Open the door!" Open the door! Why don't you believe me? I didn't do anything to be sorry for you! ”
Nanxi was upset by him, quickly locked the door, turned around and ran back to the house.
At this time, Liao Yijiang had already come out of the studio, stood against the door, and looked at Nanxi: "What do you mean by what he said?" What did he do to Creek? Do you still want to tell me it's okay? ”
Nanxi didn't want to tell anyone else what happened in his family, including Liao Yijiang. After all, it's not a good thing, and she feels ashamed to say it.
But Lu Zaiyuan made a big fuss with the strength of wine, and Liao Yijiang heard it all.
Outside the door, Lu Zaiyuan took pictures of the door for a long time, and finally it was quiet.
Nan Xi curled up in the corner of the sofa with his legs curled up, covering his ears vigorously. Liao Yijiang walked over, broke her hands away, sat next to her, and said, "The person has left, you don't have to cover your ears, now should you tell me what happened in your family?" ”
Nanxi broke out in a cold sweat and shook his head weakly: "It's nothing, don't ask." ”
"Look at the cold sweat on your head, and say it's okay? Xiaoxi, you always feel that you can carry everything by yourself, but you are just a little woman, not so powerful. I see that you and Lu Zaiyuan are very stiff, and he mentioned Xiaohe again, it must not be a trivial matter. Tell me about it, and maybe I can give you some useful advice. Liao Yijiang really cared about Nanxi, and when he saw Nanxi being tortured, he couldn't suppress the urge to protect her.
Nanxi probably has endured it for too long, and she has been troubled by Lu Zaiyuan again, and she is a little weak at the moment.
It's also that she herself is too confused, and she can't come up with a clear answer after thinking about it, so she really needs someone to give her some sincere advice.
The main reason is that she trusts Liao Yijiang and knows that he will not laugh at her, nor will he take out her family's affairs to publicize them.
So under Liao Yijiang's questioning, she told him everything that happened on the night of the annual meeting.
After Liao Yijiang heard this, he thought seriously for a while and said, "What are you and Lu Zaiyuan doing?" Do you suspect what he did to Creek? ”
Nanxi shook his head sadly, and tears fell down. She pulled a tissue from the tissue box, wiped it on her face, and said, "If I could know exactly what happened that night, maybe I wouldn't be so entangled." The problem is that I can't figure out if something happened...... I took Xiaohe to the doctor to check it, but even the doctor couldn't figure out the situation...... I can't tell what I want, and the more I can't figure it out, the more I guess, and then the more I hate the long way away. ”
As she spoke, tears flowed uncontrollably. Liao Yijiang helped her draw a tissue, handed it to her, then patted her on the back and said, "If the process you told just now is true, then I tend to go a long way in this matter." ”
"Oh? Why? He said this, which surprised Nanxi, and she wiped away her tears and looked at his face seriously.
"You're not a man, you don't understand. According to common sense, no matter how much a man drinks, no matter how drunk he is, and he sleeps with a woman, he can't have no impression and memory at all. He may not be able to control his instinctive desires, and he may not know who the person in the bed is, but there is no way he doesn't know that something like this has happened! I think that although the person who is far away from the road is romantic, he is not obscene, he said that he has not done it, it should be that he really has not done it. ”
Sometimes that's it, the authorities are confused, and the bystanders are clear. Liao Yijiang said these words, Nanxi didn't think about it. It's just that she oscillates between speculation and ideas, not sure which one is true.
Hearing Liao Yijiang say this, she seemed to see hope again, she said: "Yes! He himself said that he was so drunk that he couldn't have walked from the couch to my room by himself, let alone dragged a man from room to room, which he said was not common sense. ”
"Another important point, Lu Zaiyuan suspects that Deng Jiaxiang has drugged his wine, according to what you just said, my analysis also has this possibility. In the past, when the company had activities, Lu Zaiyuan and I drank a few times, and his alcohol consumption was not weak, so that he would not get drunk and unconscious after a few drinks. It is very likely that the wine is mixed with sleeping pills, and the medicine borrows the strength of the wine, and the person will soon fall. If this is the case, it is even more unlikely that he will have any active behavior! Liao Yijiang analyzed this matter very rationally.
After hearing this, Nanxi was a little confused. "But," she said, "....... After the incident, the aunt and Deng Jiaxiang's words were the same, Deng Jiaxiang was arrested that night, they couldn't have spoken in advance, right? ”
As she was saying this, she saw her aunt walk in through the door with a basket of vegetables. She didn't think about it, and called out: "Auntie, you didn't lie to me about that night, did you?" ”
As soon as the aunt's hand shook, the vegetable basket fell to the ground. She hurriedly crouched down, picked up the tomatoes and peppers that had fallen to the ground, and pulled the vegetables back into the basket before she got up.
It seems that picking up vegetables is a very tiring job, and her face is red after a while. She shook her head and said, "No...... I'm not lying...... I'm sorry I didn't take good care of Xiaohe...... Or...... Or I'll resign, I don't want this month's salary......" 166 Reading Network
