CHAPTER XLII
"Going to the Soup and Fire" / Call me Meow
In my life, the most feared thing is not being able to meet someone who makes you have the urge to go to the soup.
"I don't have a home anymore, Wenxi, don't you know?"
The soft voice, the pale face, the misty eyes, immersed in the memories of Wen Xi, his heart hurt suddenly. Pulling back his thoughts, his eyes focused on Wen Nan, who was sitting beside him.
She was staring at him fiercely with her eyes open.
"Nan Nan, are you awake? Hungry or not, I asked my aunt to bring dinner. He rubbed her long hair affectionately.
A familiar smile, a familiar tone. This kind of Wen Xi will only make Wen Nan extremely annoyed now, and she turned her head sideways and dodged his hand. Sit up from the ground, raise your legs and run out.
But before she could run a few steps, she was stopped by Wen Xi, who hadn't eaten for two days, she was already so hungry that she had no strength, and collapsed directly in his arms. He helped her onto the bed that had been made and covered her with the quilt.
She glared at him and said forcefully, "Let me go." ”
Ever since he brought her back, he didn't let her have a chance to leave this room. He locked her up here and came every day to persuade her to leave Chen Ziang and persuade her to quit her job at the bar.
She no, he and Wen Mingtao just hope that she will have a bad time, the more they are like this, the more she has to resist.
Wen Xi frowned slightly, sat down beside her, pressed the corners of the quilt with her slender fingers, and scolded: "Don't say these words." ”
"Either let me go, or starve me to death." Her voice was already a little hoarse.
Wen Xi looked at her deeply, his face was gloomy, and he was silent for a long time.
It wasn't until the aunt at home brought in the porridge that he spoke: "Okay, but you eat the meal first." ”
Wen Nan looked at the bowl in his hand in disbelief, "Really? ”
"Hmm." He nodded and fed her bite by bite.
Wen Nan was desperate to get out of here, and after she finished drinking the porridge, she pushed Wen Xi away and ran out of the room. Downstairs, Wen Mingtao and Ye Qin were dining, and when they heard her footsteps, they both raised their eyes to look at her.
Wen Mingtao's face became unhappy, and he put down the dishes and chopsticks in his hand, "Hmph, what are you doing when you come out?" ”
"Mingtao." Ye Qin hurriedly put down the dishes and chopsticks and pulled Wen Mingtao's hand.
Wen Nan stood in the living room, the corners of his mouth picked, and he smiled contemptuously: "Are you afraid that I will come out and disturb your new love's mood?" Don't be afraid, I don't even bother to look at her. ”
In this family, except for Wen Nan, no one has ever dared to talk to Wen Mingtao like this. The authority of the head of the family was being provoked by Wen Nan, he looked cold, he was so angry that he stood up from the chair, shook off Ye Qin's obstruction with one hand, and picked up the bowl in front of him with the other hand and threw it at Wen Nan.
She had a smile on her lips, her face tired but cold. Looking at the bowl that flew towards her, it ended up being a man's chest. After a dull sound, there was the crisp sound of the bowl falling to the ground.
Wen Nan looked up along the white shirt, Wen Xi was looking down at her, and the worry in her eyes couldn't be hidden at all. His hands were on her shoulders, his brows darkening with tiredness.
He let go of her and turned to the angry Wen Mingtao, "Dad, she is Nan Nan." ”
Wen Xi wanted to remind Wen Mingtao that she was his daughter.
Wen Mingtao was stunned for a moment, and when his eyes met the corners of Wen Nan's mocking mouth, he snorted in a nasal voice, "I don't have such a daughter, so you shouldn't bring her back." ”
"You're right, I don't have a dad like you." Wen Nan's light and cold voice sounded, she glanced at Ye Qin, who had been persuading Wen Mingtao, and shook off Wen Xi's hand and left the house quickly.
She almost forgot that Wen's house was located in a villa area on the outskirts of City C, and there were few vehicles on the road. In addition, it is getting dark, and there are basically no cars driving in this area. She willfully kept moving forward, and fog began to rise around her, a thin layer.
A car drove slowly behind her, the light hit her, she stretched out her hand to stop the car, but saw Wen Xi sitting in the car, looking at her quietly.
Wen Nan had just taken off the guard, and it rekindled again, she closed her eyes, took a deep breath and continued to walk forward.
"Nan Nan."
Wen Xi stopped the car, stepped out of the car, and picked up Wen Nan, who fell to the ground. Wen Nan took a deep breath, hating his body for not being angry, and he couldn't hold on after walking for such a distance.
She opened her eyes, exhausted the last bit of strength that her body had just recovered, and reached out to push Wen Xi, "Get out of here, you and Wen Mingtao are both the same annoying." ”
Wen Xi's body stiffened, sighed, and looked at her helplessly: "Nan Nan, don't call your father's name directly." Don't say those things to make him unhappy, it's not good. ”
"He's just your dad alone, and he has nothing to do with me. I'm just going to make him uncomfortable, just to make that woman uncomfortable. How can they be happy? What about my mom? Wen Nan's sharp eyes stared at Wen Xi, she couldn't wait to get rid of all relations with the Wen family, she couldn't wait to have entered the family with Song Pingping in the first place.
mentioned Song Pingping, Wen Xi was shocked, in addition to Song Pingping, there was another woman who had never been happy, but who else remembered?
"It's useless, we all have the same man's blood in our bodies." Wen Xi shook his head, not allowing her to refuse, hugged the person tightly in his arms, and walked towards the car.
He said: "Nan Nan, this is a fact, I can't change it, and you can't either." ”
Wen Nan grabbed his shirt tightly, his heart chuckled, and his eyes turned to the outside, "Wenxi, I want to see Chen Ziang, you said you wanted to let me go." ”
Wen Xi's eyes sank, put Wen Nan into the car, fastened her seat belt, and then replied, "Well, I'll let you see him after tomorrow." ”
Tomorrow is Song Pingping's death day.
It's been two years, Wenxi still remembers, she almost forgets.
Wen Nan closed her eyes, her thin lips kept trembling.
Is it true that every sad day will not see the sun?
On the day of Song Pingping's death, Wen Nan raised his head and looked at the gloomy sky, and was silent for a long time. She stood in the middle of the tombs in a black dress, holding a bouquet of tulips in her hand and a faint smile on her face.
Tick.
Feeling that there were raindrops on her eyes, Wen Nan lowered her head, and her eyes fell on the photo on the tombstone, and Song Pingping was smiling at her. She placed the tulip in her hand in front of the tomb and sat sideways, her slender fingers sliding over the inscription.
She thought for a long time and said, "Mom, I've come to see you." ”
"Knowing you like tulips, look, I personally picked your favorite yellow. When I was a child, you always liked to take me to plant flowers, and the most planted was this tulip. But how delicate the tulips are, how do they survive? Later, I didn't like going to the garden with you more and more, and I didn't like the flower more and more. You know why? You see, how much it looks like you. She said, her hand already caressing the tulip flowers, carelessly.
Wen Xi stood behind her, the black suit on her body was neatly ironed and straight as new. His brow was tightly locked, and his gaze stayed on the flower.
"Elegant, but extremely fragile. Not only tulips, all flowers are the same. In the face of strong winds and rains, bend your knees. Mom, you are so beautiful and so proud, aren't you also impressed in front of people like Wen Mingtao? I don't want to be like you, I don't want to. She began to laugh lowly, and the laughter was indescribably desolate.
Wen Xi pursed his lips and stopped talking. The sky was getting overcast and heavier, and a light drizzle began to fall. Wen Xi stretched out the umbrella in his hand and covered Wen Nan and his head.
Wen Nan has been immersed in his own world, not paying attention to everything around him, "How are you doing there?" Here, aside from your absence, there doesn't seem to be anything bad about it. Oh yes. ”
She paused, glanced up at Wen Xi, then continued to lower her head, and said with a focused expression: "Mom, Wen Mingtao is married again." Who is the bride? You must have guessed it. That's right, it's his secretary. Do you want me to bless them? Don't, well, I won't bless them. ”
Sentence by sentence, the shallow words directly hit Wen Xi's heart. The hand he held the handle of the umbrella couldn't help but tighten, and the knuckles of his fingers were clearly visible. He lightly placed his other hand on Wen Nan's shoulder, "Nan Nan, don't say any more." Auntie won't be happy when she hears it. ”
Wen Nan ignored him and kept looking at the person in the photo, "Wen Xi, I want to talk to my mother alone for a while." ”
"Okay." Wen Xi handed the umbrella in his hand to Wen Nan and turned to leave.
After the footsteps were far away, Wen Nan threw the umbrella aside. moved his numb legs, changed his sitting position, and let the dripping rain hit him.
"Mom, I'm in love with a man, his name is Chen Ziang, and I'd love to bring him to show you. He's good, both in looks and in his job. Wen Nan's eyes suddenly became gentle, and he laughed twice, but his voice was hoarse.
"I'm a lot like you, Mom. I also fell in love with a man who didn't love me, and I also faded my pride in front of that man. Wen Mingtao doesn't love you, but is willing to deceive you with lies. Chen Ziang doesn't love me, and he doesn't even want to tell me a lie. Mom, I'm better than you, whether it's lucky or unlucky. ”
At this point, she suddenly couldn't speak. Her eyes were clouded with a mist as she struggled to suppress the sourness that had spilled over her heart. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't help but cry. With the rain, tears rolled down his cheeks.
Wen Nan walked out of the cemetery, and Wen Xi was holding another umbrella and waiting next to the car. Seeing that she was soaking wet, he stepped forward and put the umbrella on her head, and couldn't help but scold: "Didn't you give you an umbrella?" Why do you still make yourself like this? ”
Her hair was already wet from the rain and stuck to her face, she raised her head slightly, and said to Wen Xi with red eyes: "Brother, I want to see Chen Ziang." ”
The long-lost 'brother' made Wen Xi take his eyes off her body and fall far away on the tombs behind her, and finally nodded. 166 Reading Network
