It's a prank.

Zhu Xi sighed in his heart, gritted his teeth tightly, and looked at Li Yingfan, but he couldn't say a word for a long time.

"Zhuxi?"

Fang Lan's voice sounded at this time, and Zhuxi didn't respond, only silently thinking in his heart that all the people who should be there had gathered.

"Auntie."

Bai Peipei called Fang Lan gently, and held her directly with both hands, "Why did you come out?" ”

"I saw you all the time outside, and wondered if something had happened." Fang Lanci patted Bai Peipei's hand kindly, then turned her gaze to Zhuxi not far away, and her face was expressionless for an instant, "Why are you here?" ”

At this time, Zhuxi didn't want to have anything unpleasant with her, after all, Fang Lan was not only her elder, but also Li Yingfan's mother.

She pulled the bag on her shoulder and smiled at Fang Lan, the smile was very light and shallow, polite and decent.

He didn't say anything, didn't look too much, turned slightly, and prepared to leave.

"Wait."

Li Yingfan's voice suddenly sounded behind him, and as soon as Zhuxi's footsteps stagnated, the person stood there, holding his breath, and listening carefully.

Li Yingfan walked quickly to her side and looked at her sideways, "I'll send you back." ”

Before she could respond, Fang Lan behind her was already angry, she also walked over and asked her youngest son, "Yingfan, what are you going to do?" ”

Li Yingfan turned his head to look at his mother, his eyes were unwavering, "Mom, I'll stay in the car, and let the driver take you back in a while." ”

"Let mom go home by herself, and then you sent this woman on purpose?" Fang Lan stared at Li Yingfan incredulously, covering her chest with one hand, as if she was really angry.

Seeing this, Bai Peipei directly hugged Fang Lan and kept comforting: "Auntie, you dissipate your anger." ”

Then, he said to Li Yingfan: "Yingfan, my aunt's health has always been bad. Today's good wedding suddenly became like this, my aunt was sad, and Brother Zhifan was not there, at this time, how could you not accompany her? ”

Zhuxi listened silently on the side, and for a moment, she felt as if she had returned to the days before the divorce. In Bai Peipei and Fang Lan, only the two of them in this world really care about each other, and everyone else should care about them.

It's ridiculous, and it's infuriating.

Raising her eyes slightly, seeing that Li Yingfan had frowned, she silently pulled the corners of her mouth, and then said in a low voice that only Li Yingfan could hear: "Take good care of your mother, I'll go back first." ”

She held her chest out, had no intention of turning back, and kept walking in the direction she had parked.

Seeing her leave, Li Yingfan involuntarily followed her, and as soon as she took two steps, her arm was grabbed by Fang Lan from behind.

"I won't let you go with her." Fang Lan's face was dark, and the strength in her hands was very strong.

"Mom." Li Yingfan frowned, first looked at Fang Lan's hand, then at her, and said in a stern tone, "Don't be unreasonable, okay?" ”

"Who is making trouble?"

Fang Lan pointed at herself with her other hand, "Don't forget, I'm your mother." Your brother's wedding is like this now, you don't stay to take care of your mother, you want to send that woman? ”

As she spoke, her hand changed direction and pointed to Zhuxi who was about to walk to the side of the car, "Yingfan, she has nothing to do with you now." What is she here for today? Isn't it just to come and laugh at us? Look at the smile she just left, she's sarcastic about me."

The more Fang Lan's words became more and more ugly, they were all aimed at Zhuxi.

Li Yingfan looked at her in disappointment and pushed her hand away from her sleeve, "Mom, do you know how scared I am when I look like this?" ”

He turned around and said in a deep voice, "I'll ask the driver to take you back." ”

As soon as Zhuxi opened the car door and got into the car, someone stopped the car door. She looked at Li Yingfan outside the door in surprise, "What's wrong?" ”

Li Yingfan's eyes were slightly bloodshot, and his voice was slightly hoarse, "I'll send you back." ”

Zhuxi tilted his head and stared at his eyes for a long time, and after all kinds of thoughts went through his mind, he nodded, "Hmm." ”

When she got out of the car to change places, she deliberately glanced at the door of the auditorium. Fang Lan and Bai Peipei were looking at this side in unison, when they looked at Li Yingfan, they were both heartbroken, and when they looked at her, they were both deeply hated.

Zhu Xi tugged at the corners of his mouth at the two, and then sat in the co-pilot's seat. Li Yingfan sat next to her, and since she got into the car, her eyes have been looking ahead. It really seemed like he was just here to see her off, and he didn't have anything to say to her.

She peeked at him from time to time, then kept swinging her bag with her hand.

"That" the two men suddenly said in unison.

They were surprised and looked at each other.

Li Yingfan turned his head and continued to look out the window, waiting for the car to fall silent again, he spoke unhurriedly, "Zhuxi." ”

"Hmm." She answered.

Li Yingfan continued: "My brother has always handled the matter of the delivery of wedding invitations, and I don't know about the invitation you received. ”

Zhuxi nodded, she had just carefully recalled Li Yingfan's reaction in the bridal lounge, and she was indeed unaware. This qiē is probably a prank by Li Zhifan alone.

She thought, unconsciously lowering her face, she had just lost her face in the auditorium.

"And." Li Yingfan looked at her deeply from the rearview mirror, "I'm sorry for my mother's inappropriate words and deeds just now." ”

The sentence of 'I'm sorry' made Zhuxi's nose sour suddenly. Li Yingfan is still the former Li Yingfan, and he will always take everyone's sins on himself. She turned her head to look out the window and said softly, "It's okay, I don't mind. ”

Li Yingfan said "um", "What did you just want to say to me?" ”

Zhuxi didn't dare to turn his head, his eyes stared at the flashing car outside, "I want to say, in fact, you don't have to deliberately send me back." They are right, you should be by your mother's side at this time. ”

Li Yingfan was stunned for a moment, almost forgot to turn after passing the intersection, and after turning the corner suddenly, he slowly spoke, "I know." ”

He parked the car at the door of Zhuxi's apartment, "Zhuxi, I'll send you here." ”

Only then did Zhuxi turn around slightly, "Then how do you go back?" ”

"I'll take a taxi later."

Li Yingfan unbuckled his seat belt, pulled the car door and got out of the car. Zhuxi also followed him out of the car and walked in front of him, even if he was wearing high heels, he still needed to look up at him slightly, "Then you should be careful on the road." ”

She was about to get into the car, but her hand was grabbed by Li Yingfan, he didn't use a lot of strength, Zhuxi just struggled lightly, and he could shake it off.

However, she didn't.

Li Yingfan pursed her lips and said meaningfully: "Anya is the daughter of my mother's good friend, who has been living in the United States and just came back this year. ”

His inexplicable explanation made Zhuxi stunned, and wanted to say something, but Li Yingfan had already turned around and left, taking a taxi to the airport.

In the airport hall of S City, as soon as Li Yingfan stepped in, he saw Li Zhifan standing behind a billboard. The suit on his body was neatly ironed, and there was a ceremonial flower pinned to his chest, which made him particularly conspicuous in the crowd.

He walked behind Li Zhifan, and as he looked over, he was facing the security gate.

Li Yingfan asked softly, "Gone?" ”

"Hmm." Li Zhifan turned his head to look at him, and then continued to look at the security gate with a long queue.

Habitually rummaging in the pocket of his jacket, his face turned dark, "Do you have any cigarettes?" ”

Li Yingfan shook his head, "Don't smoke here, let's go out first." ”

Li Zhifan's gaze still reluctantly fell on the security gate, and he replied in a low voice, "Okay." ”

They got into Li Zhifan's car one after the other, Li Yingfan opened the window and looked at Li Zhifan, who had already lit a cigarette, "Just let her go?" ”

Li Zhifan took a few puffs of cigarette, then leaned back in his chair and stared blankly at the roof of the car, "Don't let her go, do you think I can do something?" ”

He smiled self-deprecatingly, turned his head sideways, and looked at Li Yingfan, "Do I still have to step forward and snatch her from that man's hand?" ”

He paused for a moment, and suddenly laughed even more exaggeratedly, "Or, should I act like a TV series, find someone to abolish that man, and then threaten her to stay by my side?" ”

Li Yingfan didn't know how to answer, he reached out and took out the cigarette that Li Zhifan put down, and lit it for himself, "Say, whatever you want to do now, I will accompany you." ”

Li Zhifan closed his eyes gently, just a small movement, but it seemed to take a long time, "I don't want to go anywhere, just sit here for a while, I'm tired." ”

"Okay."

The two sat for a while, Li Yingfan extinguished the cigarette butt that was about to burn out, then took out a folded letter from the pocket of his jacket and handed it to Li Zhifan, "Brother, I think this, you need to take a look." ”

"What?" Li Zhifan slowly opened his eyes and stared at the letter in Li Yingfan's hand with red eyes. Without waiting for him to answer, he couldn't wait to take it, and opened the letter with trembling hands.

"Look, Anya stayed." Li Yingfan explained. He had read it more than once, and when he was in the bridal lounge, he found the letter that Anya had left behind. At that time, his mood was very complicated, and before he could react, all his thoughts were disrupted by the sudden rush of the streams.

Thinking of the way she blessed herself so confidently, Li Yingfan let out a long sigh.

There was not much text left on the letterhead, only a few sentences, and the apology alone accounted for most of the text. When Li Zhifan saw the end, he only frowned and asked Li Yingfan, "Marriage is not what she wants, what does this sentence mean?" ”

Anya is the daughter of Fang Lan's best friend and has been living in the United States with her parents. When Li Zhifan was thirteen years old, when he and Fang Lan went to the United States, they met Anya, who was only 5 years old. Later, Fang Lan returned to China, leaving Li Zhifan to study alone in the United States. Li Zhifan has been living in Anya's home, which can be described as a childhood sweetheart, and the two have no suspicions.

Li Yingfan came back to his senses, his deep gaze was dull, "Brother, have you ever asked Anya, what exactly does she want?" ”

"I want to marry her and she doesn't refuse, what else do I need to ask her?" Li Zhifan crumpled the letter paper in his hand, then loosened it, pulled it flat, pinched it again, and kept repeating the action.

Li Yingfan looked at him for a long time, and finally concluded: "That's why she will leave you." ”
