10. Chapter X
As more and more people mentioned, more and more people mentioned Shen Yi'an, at first Su Zhengyi and Ni Ying patiently explained to others, but gradually even they couldn't resist themselves, no matter what the reason, Shen Yi'an shouldn't not appear at this time. Ni Ying glanced at her husband, Su Zhengyi smiled and said hello to his friends and went to the side to call Shen Yi'an, and after a while, he walked back to Ni Ying with an ugly face, and Shen Yi'an's phone was turned off.
Ni Ying's expression was not good, but it would not be revealed on such an occasion, she pulled Su Zhengyi away from these guests, and called Su Jiayu over, "Yi'an's phone has always been turned off, what is going on?" ”
Su Jiayu didn't care about anything else, he hadn't appeared at this point in time, it was obviously not normal, he tried Shen Yi'an's phone was turned off, and then called Shen Yi'an's friends and assistants, and the answer he got was that he didn't know where Shen Yi'an went. Su Jiayu, who hung up the phone, frowned, as if he had a bad premonition, and he looked at Su Meilin, who had been silent.
Su Meilin smiled, "Wait a little longer, maybe something happened that made him unable to leave, he should be there in a while." ”
Hearing Su Meilin say this, Ni Ying and Su Zhengyi had no choice but to appease the visitors, only Su Jiayu looked at Su Meilin with an uncertain expression, and only walked in front of Su Meilin after a while, "Meilin"
"He's probably on the way."
Su Jiayu nodded, "He said that he would give you a huge surprise, maybe he wasn't completely ready, no matter what surprise he gave you later, don't give him a good face, he is still late at this critical time." ”
Su Meilin pushed him, "Are you instigating people like this?" ”
"Hey, before I got married, my elbow turned outward." Su Jiayu shook his head and sighed.
Su Meilin and Su Jiayu laughed easily, and her left hand trembled slightly in places that Su Jiayu had never seen. Su Jiayu called Shen Yi'an in a shutdown state, but Shen Yi'an had several calls, she had tried each number just now, and all of them were turned off, if a mobile phone turned off state can be understood as forgetting to charge, then all mobile phones are turned off, this is abnormal. But she didn't want to think about the worst, because maybe he would come in the next moment.
She suddenly didn't want to smile at the people, just sat quietly in a corner. She took out her mobile phone, as if she was stunned, and repeatedly pressed Shen Yi'an's different mobile phone numbers, as if as long as she kept pressing it, she would be able to get through Shen Yi'an's phone at a certain moment.
She didn't know how many times she had tried, only to feel that her phone was extremely hot, and then reminded her that the battery was too low. She took out the power bank to connect to the mobile phone, raised her head again, and found that Su Jiayu didn't know where she had gone, and Ni Ying was walking towards her with a worried face.
She wanted to smile at Ni Ying, but found that she couldn't make a smile, so she had to give up.
"Mei Lin, don't worry, Yi An is not the kind of irresponsible person, he hasn't come yet, something serious must have happened, he will definitely rush over." Ni Ying touched her daughter's head, afraid that her daughter would affect her mood because of this.
"yes, I know."
The time has been delayed for too long, and the guests have already started to talk about it, Su Zhengyi is very sorry to tell everyone that something is wrong with the situation, please eat first, these people saw that Su Zhengyi's face was not very good, and they did not give embarrassment, and they all went to eat according to the arrangement.
Su Meilin and Ni Ying sat together, and they didn't have the heart to eat at this time, Ni Ying was worried about whether something had happened to Shen Yi'an, and the matter that could prevent Shen Yi'an from going to the engagement scene must be very serious, and I don't know if it will affect her daughter.
Su Meilin gritted her teeth, but she was thinking of something else, just now Su Jiayu actually called Shen Yi'an's friend to ask about Shen Yi'an, she and Shen Yi'an were engaged, and Shen Yi'an's friends didn't attend, which was originally a strange thing. She closed her eyes, and was reluctant to think that it was good to think that things were bad, because as long as things were not completely certain, it meant that there was a glimmer of possibility, and she preferred to believe that he was delayed by something, and the next moment would come.
I heard that the dream is the opposite, she had a dream like that yesterday, and she was so miserable in the dream, then the reality should be diametrically opposed to the ending of that dream.
I don't know how long it took for Su Jiayu to come back with a pale face, this time he didn't dare to hide his parents anymore. He went to Shen's and Shen Yi'an's house, but he didn't find where Shen Yi'an was, and asked someone to check whether there were any traffic accidents and other accidents in Yancheng in the past two days, but there were none, and when he asked where Shen Yi'an's people were beside him, everyone said that they didn't know, but those people didn't show the slightest nervousness, let alone care about the engagement ceremony, Su Jiayu only found something strange at this time
Ni Ying and Su Zhengyi were about to say something, when Su Meilin, who was sitting, stood up, she looked at her parents, "He won't come, explain to the guests who came today to cancel the engagement!" ”
Su Jiayu grabbed Su Meilin's hand, "Meilin, what I just said was just my guess, don't be so impulsive"
"Cancel the engagement." She met Su Jiayu's eyes, "Brother, he won't come, if he continues, our Su family will only become a joke in the eyes of others." ”
Her eyes were too firm, so that Ni Ying and Su Zhengyi, who originally wanted to persuade her, didn't know what to do for a while. Su Meilin's brain was exceptionally clear at this moment, she understood their thoughts, and felt that things were not so strict, Shen Yi'an might have really been delayed by something, she decided like this, that is, she completely broke away from Shen Yi'an, canceling the engagement and postponing the engagement were completely different things, and the engagement between her and Shen Yi'an involved more things, and she couldn't be so willful.
She sighed, "Mom, Dad, none of Shen Yi'an's friends came to the scene, and there are people who are close to the Shen family, and no one has arrived here today." I had asked him about his parents before, and he
Su Zhengyi looked at his daughter dissatisfied, "Meilin, don't be so willful, you have been with Yi'an for so long, how can you think of him like this." ”
At this moment, in their eyes, they were still willful, and they were angry that Shen Yi'an was late, so she said this, she looked at her father, "Then I will say it myself, this is originally my own business." ”
Ni Ying looked at her daughter with a complicated expression, and after a while, she looked at her husband, "Go ahead, do what your daughter said." ”
"She's willful, and you're willful? When Ease Ann comes, how are we going to talk to him? How to explain to the Shen family after that? ”
Ni Ying's attitude became stronger, "Shouldn't it be the Shen family who explains to us?" She didn't say the latter sentence, not to mention whether Shen Yi'an would come or not was another matter.
Su Zhengyi couldn't, so he had to announce to all the guests that the engagement with the Shen family was canceled, thank you for coming today, and apologize for the inconvenience caused to everyone. As soon as Su Zhengyi finished speaking, many people were stunned, but no matter how he asked, Su Zhengyi stopped talking, so everyone left with doubts.
The guests left in waves, and they all looked inexplicable, but seeing that the faces of the parties seemed to be very bad, they guessed that something serious must have happened, so they would cancel the engagement.
The excitement in the hall quickly dissipated, Ni Ying and Su Zhengyi went to deal with the follow-up, many people who were close to the Su family pulled the husband and wife to talk, and Ni Ying and her husband had to accompany them.
Su Meilin watched her parents reluctantly talking to people, and her heart became sour, she was indeed willful, not willfully and directly announced the cancellation of the engagement, but willfully appeared here, ignoring the reminders of others. She sat quietly, in spite of her splendid costumes, and the sorrow that hung over her body made her look like a down-and-out princess. Su Jiayu stood quietly beside her, and after a long time, he spoke softly, "Since you are sure that he will not come, why don't you leave?" ”
She glanced up at him, then quickly lowered her eyes again, and did not speak.
Su Jiayu's expression was gloomy, he glanced in the direction of his parents, and stepped aside to use his connections to inquire about Shen Yi'an's whereabouts, but naturally he didn't get any information. Although Su Jiayu respected his sister's decision, in fact, he, like Su Zhengyi, thought that something must have happened to Shen Yi'an so he didn't come, and the situation was far from being as bad as Su Meilin imagined. Because Shen Yi'an has no reason to do this deliberately, Shen Yi'an can't get any benefits, people do things with a certain purpose, and Shen Yi'an has no need to do this.
When the last guest left, it was already past four o'clock in the afternoon, and Su Zhengyi and Ni Ying both looked very tired, but at this time, they seemed to really accept the fact that Shen Yi'an would not come here. Su Zhengyi and Ni Ying walked over to Su Meilin, she was sitting on a solid wooden chair, her legs were also on the chair, her hands were holding her legs, and her head was buried in her knees, a small lump, as if she had fallen asleep.
They didn't bother her, Shen Yi'an didn't come here, and the saddest person must be Su Meilin herself.
Su Jiayu knew that his parents were worried about his sister and asked them to deal with those necessary things first, and he stayed here to guard Su Meilin. Su Zhengyi and Ni Ying left here immediately, Shen Yi'an did not appear during the engagement ceremony, this matter will definitely have a great impact on the Su family, and Su Zhengyi must deal with it.
After Su Zhengyi and Ni Ying left, Su Jiayu sat down next to Su Meilin, "I know you didn't fall asleep." ”
Su Meilin's hand seemed to move.
"Merlin, I know you don't want us to worry about you, but it's even more worrying for someone like you to bear the burden of not saying anything."
Su Meilin slowly put her hand down and raised her head slightly.
Her eyes were not moist, and there was no trace of crying, her expression was extremely indifferent, and her lips pursed, "Brother, he is very good to me, he will remember my favorite food and fruits, will make me an umbrella on a rainy day so that his own clothes will be soaked, and will carry me from the top of the mountain to the bottom of the mountain......" She talked about what Shen Yi'an had done for her one by one, and she was emotionally fermented in these little things that had accumulated over time, and recognized Shen Yi'an in her heart, "He is so good and so good to me, so I sue myself, no matter what the reason." As long as he shows up before dark today, then I will forgive him for being late today. I do what I say. ”
She looked outside, it was still very bright, and it seemed like it was still a long, long time before it got dark.
"Why do you say that to your parents? Do you know something? ”
"I don't want to disappoint them, so I just tell them the worst, so that no matter what happens in the future, I can accept it, even if it's bad."
Su Jiayu nodded and waited with her until it was dark.
It was finally dark, and the man she had been waiting for had not appeared, and her eyes fell on the canopy outside. From when the light was bright, she told herself to wait for it to get dark, and when it gradually got dark, she told herself to wait until it was completely dark before giving up, and the plot where the male protagonist appeared at the last moment in those idol dramas was not staged in reality, he did not appear, her expectations decreased little by little, and finally evolved into despair.
Su Jiayu didn't know how to comfort her for a while, and wanted to say that maybe something really happened to the Shen family, and Shen Yi'an would come to apologize tomorrow, but saying that kind of reason might be another kind of expectation, and it would only bring deeper disappointment, if it was really just because of something delayed, it wouldn't even be able to make a phone call.
Su Meilin sat quietly, her lips were dry, and she suddenly opened her mouth to break the long silence, "I once told him that I hope we have a daughter in the future, so that I can dress her up beautifully." He said that it is not good to have a daughter, if my daughter is like me, I don't know how many suitors there are, and he must be reluctant to give such a beautiful daughter to others, and he will definitely watch her daughter all the time during her study, for fear of being abducted by a boy. At that time, I really thought that I could have children with him."
Her tone was light, and there seemed to be no emotion, but Su Jiayu understood the ups and downs under such a calm surface, and he pressed her into his arms, "Mei Lin." ”
"Brother, in fact, I had a dream last night, and Shen Yi'an in the dream took me to the engagement scene, and then he disappeared, and he said that he would surprise me. The engagement scene turned into a trial scene, and everyone watched my crimes, and they all said that a bad person like me should not have been blessed by everyone in the first place, let alone be happy. Her voice was still low, as if it wasn't her own business, "Brother, you see, God is still good to me, you have greeted me in advance, people like me should not be happy"
"What nonsense are you talking about, you are so good"
She met his eyes, "Am I really good?" ”
"You're good." Su Jiayu's eyes were firm.
She smiled mockingly, "I just thought I could expect miracles, but miracles really rarely happen."
The man didn't come, the man who discussed with her whether he would have a son or a daughter in the future didn't come, leaving her to wait here alone, and in the end it was all for nothing.
The dark sky not far away fell into her eyes, and she was silent for a long time, and finally closed her eyes.
