Chapter 444: I opt out
Late at night, I stayed in a Mediterranean-style room at the Dream Tree hotel, the biggest feature of this room is that there is a skylight of about one square meter that can be pushed, and my bed is just below the skylight.
From the beginning of the evening, the sky in Shanghai becomes extremely clear due to the clear weather. So at this moment, I looked through the window, and above the sky, except for a moon like a jade plate, it was blown by the wind and soon turned into passing clouds......
My heart seemed to be drained, and suddenly I wanted to smoke. I don't know if this mood is due to being dominated by the environment, or if it is the craving that inevitably occurs when you quit smoking.
I was defeated by myself, looking around, and finally found half a pack of Nanjing brand cigarettes in the mezzanine of my travel bag. I put the cigarette in my mouth and lit it without much struggle...... However, I can't describe the mood at the moment, I seem to be in a psychedelic circle, and there is a sea in this circle. Every woman I have met in my life corresponds to a harbor, and because of them, this sea has a calm place and many colors!
Chen Yi is blue, which occupies my childhood, and every moment I play with her is like a blue sky and white clouds. But after all, it was just a passing cloud, and after being blown away by the strong wind, only each other sighed.
The golden autumn is black, and it runs through my teenage years and now. Every time I think of her, it's like seeing a black sea, solemn and mysterious, but I have never explored the edge of her body. Until this moment, I don't know if this is an escape, or a lack of courage, or interest!
Xiao Ai is a scorching fiery red, in a long life, her appearance is only a moment, but with a very special light to illuminate me through. Even today, there is still a trace of temperature.
I rubbed the cigarette in my hand, put it in my mouth and took one last puff, then pressed it out in the ashtray at hand. I fell into a state of distraction again, which lasted until Yang Qu sent me a message......
"Brother, don't go to Sanya to play, there is a preferential package recently, starting from Shanghai, the round-trip travel fee plus 4 nights of five-star accommodation is only 3000 yuan per person...... If you're going, I'll buy two packages right now. ”
"No, you can go by yourself, I don't have much time lately."
"Why don't you have time? Haven't you just been idle? ”
"I'm going to do something in Nanjing...... For a man, raising a family is the top priority. ”
Yang Qu sighed: "You really have the consciousness of getting married...... Nice, yes, a good young man. ”
I don't know why, as soon as she said this, I wanted to smoke again, but I didn't want to destroy the results of my quitting so easily, so I forcibly held back. Then he changed the topic and asked her: "By the way, have you made up your mind about the director looking for you to film?" ”
"Not yet, so I want to go out for a walk and figure it out...... Alas, it's a pity that there is no one to accompany you! ”
"You think everyone is as free as you...... You feel your conscience and say, have you been free enough since you arrived in Shanghai? Even compared to many girls of the same age, what are you missing? …… So you'd better be content. ”
"Hmph, what you mean by contentment is compromise, right? I repeat, I am an independent thinking individual, and none of you can interfere with me in a brutal way to do what you like. ”
"Hehe, I think you really need to go out for a walk, have a long experience, and get in touch with the working people at the bottom, otherwise you really don't know how happy you are living now. When you find that you can't even solve the problem of food and clothing, you will realize how bullshit your so-called ideals are. ”
Yang Qu replied confidently: "When I can't solve the problem of food and clothing, I will go to acting to make money, acting is my ideal!" ”
I found that I couldn't communicate with her well, so I threw my phone aside in frustration, and then lay flat on the bed, staring at the waning moon for a long time, but I remembered the streets and alleys...... I know my heart is still not so calm.
……
Early the next morning, before returning to Nanjing, I went to see Qiao Ye in the cancer hospital, he did not sleep, but lay motionless on the hospital bed, until he found out about my arrival, and then turned his head to look at me.
I pulled out a chair from under the bed and sat down beside him, and asked, "Are you going to continue lying here, or do you want to go back to Nanjing with me?" ”
Joe stared at me for a long time.
I vaguely felt that something was not right, and asked him with concern: "Why are you like this, didn't Su Han promise to take the road back to see you?" ”
Qiao Ye shifted his gaze from me, he looked at the white ceiling motionlessly, and said to me in a low voice for a long time: "Just ten minutes before you came, my parents were here......
I asked, confused, "What's wrong with them?" ”
"They asked me to divorce Qin Miao and marry Su Han......"
I was shocked for a moment before asking, "Why did they let you do this?" ”
Qiao Ye laughed, laughed sarcastically, he cried again, just crying and laughing...... How could I not understand his feelings! But I still want to hear him say it himself.
"It's not what it used to be...... Are these four words enough? …… But Jiang Qiao, what am I in their eyes? What are Qin Miao and Su Han? How can they dictate our destiny, and are parents really the God of their children? ”
I was a little speechless. In the past year, I have also heard some rumors, saying that Qin Miao's father may be retired early due to physical reasons, and after two years of accumulation, Qiao Ye has gradually gained a firm foothold in his own group, Qin Miao has returned most of the management rights to Qiao Ye, and he only owns part of the shares, but compared to the father and son of the Qiao family, there is no absolute control, so at this time, Qiao Ye's parents asked Qiao Ye and Qin Miao to divorce and remarry Su Han, which was not unexpected......
Qiao Ye said to me again: "Jiang Qiao, do you know what they said to me? ”
I didn't want to guess, and I didn't dare to guess, so I just shook my head.
Qiao Ye's body began to tremble, he gritted his teeth and "creaked", and said to me for a long time: "They said that the family can't be reunited, what do you want so much money for?" …… But what about Qin Miao? Because you can't get pregnant, it's not a family?! ”
I sighed, the morality in my heart did not allow me to be a peacemaker, and I said to Qiao Ye very resolutely: "There is nothing to discuss in this matter, it must be that your parents are doing something wrong, you have to insist in your heart...... But Qiao Ye, do you know what I'm most afraid of? …… I'm most afraid that after you see a road, you won't be able to leave it again. But this feeling, Qin Miao has no ability to give it to you again in this life, and your mentality may change...... Because man is an animal that is best at seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages, otherwise you would not think so much! ”
This time, Qiao Ye fell into silence, his eyes never left the white ceiling again, and the man's tears kept flowing......
Originally, I was going to go back to Nanjing immediately, but seeing him like this, I dispelled the idea of going back to Nanjing in the morning.
I went downstairs in the hospital to buy two breakfasts, and when I returned to the ward, Qin Miao also walked out of the other elevator, and we met in the hallway.
At this moment, even I didn't dare to face this ill-fated woman. I didn't dare to imagine how she would feel after learning about the decision made by Qiao Ye's parents.
I couldn't really laugh, I just nodded to her, and she smiled at me, then lowered her head in front of me and walked towards the ward. I could feel that she was not in a good mood, because Qiao Ye was probably hiding this from her.
Qin Miao and I walked into the ward almost at the same time, Qin Miao put his hands in his jacket pockets, and said to Qiao Ye who was lying on the hospital bed: "I know you want to see you and Su Han's child, but do you have to use this way?" …… If it hadn't been for your parents telling me, I wouldn't have known what you've been doing these days. ”
I was shocked again, I didn't expect that it would be Qiao Ye's parents and Qin Miao who said this, this is definitely a prelude to a showdown.
Qiao Ye was silent, and the silence was because of guilt.
Qin Miao said in a low voice again: "Qiao Ye, I'm not stupid, I know my parents' intentions for me to say this, and I can also feel the change in their attitude towards me in the past year...... Yes, my dad is about to lose power in the officialdom, and the contribution that our Qin family can make to your Qiao family is here. I don't want to characterize this behavior as a fallout, but it's quite chilling...... Because ......"
Qin Miao closed her eyes, tears fell down her eyelashes, she choked up and said, "Because I don't want to inherit the lineage for your Qiao family, but something like that happened......"
At this moment, Qiao Ye finally sat up from the bed, and he said to Qin Miao: "I swear, I have never thought of divorcing you in the past two years. ”
Qin Miao looked at Qiao Ye, she wiped away her tears with the back of her hand, smiled and said, "I came today to thank you for holding on for me for so long...... But many things were already doomed after losing the lawsuit with Su Han two years ago...... In my current situation, as long as she keeps the child, there will definitely be a day when the tables will be turned around...... But in my opinion, neither marriage nor love is a gamble or a bet...... So, I opted out...... I'm tired, and I've seen through the warmth and coldness of people in this marriage with you...... You go and live the life you want......"
Speaking of this, Qin Miao took out an A4 size paper from his purse, and after gently placing it on the cabinet next to Qiao Ye's hand, he whispered, "This is our divorce agreement." I only have one request, you need to cash in on my share of the group as soon as possible, and if you agree, you can sign it...... Finally, I wish you a happy family! ”
The scene in front of me made my heart feel very uncomfortable. I don't know if the couple Qin Miao and Qiao Ye have really loved each other from beginning to end; If Qiao Ye really signed this divorce agreement, would he really be able to marry Su Han with peace of mind and live a family reunion from now on.
