Chapter 152 [6000 Words]
Three days later-
"How's this one? What about this one? ”
Su Xiaonuan was alone in front of the mirror holding two small dresses back and forth, and turned to look at Ji Xinyao, who was looking through the album over there: "Is this good-looking?" 弼"
Xin Yao closed the album in her hand, raised her eyes to look at Su Xiaonuan's look of finally letting go of the deceased and regaining her happy life, and smiled: "This purple and pink one is suitable for you." Wake up"
"Oh, Sister Ji, your wedding dress is white, since I am a bridesmaid, I always look good in the same color as you!" Xiao Nuan still hesitated to look at the two small dresses in her hand: "I like them all, what should I do, but the bridesmaids don't have to change dresses like the bride, the bridesmaids should be low-key...... Not...... It's still this white one. ”
With that, Xiao Nuan walked into the fitting room again.
"Miss Ji, this is a revised wedding dress for you, you can give it a try, if the size is not suitable, we can change it immediately, and there are still two or three days before the wedding between you and Mayor Gu that we are looking forward to, we dare not be a little sloppy." The wedding dress designer brought out the wedding dress that had been changed three days ago and re-reformed for several days.
Xin Yao looked at the layers of fairy-like clouds on the skirt of the wedding dress, and then looked at the layout in the album, and smiled: "Don't you have to try, didn't you already try it when Nancy and I came over three days ago?" The size can be according to the size of the last time, the abdomen is not too tight, and it is better to be loose. ”
The designer nodded: "It has been changed according to your requirements, or try it, I am very passionate about perfection in every wedding dress I design, Mayor Gu can favor the wedding dress design of our studio, this is the greatest encouragement for us, I hope Miss Ji, your wedding day can be beautiful, flawless......"
Xin Yao understood, so she went to try the wedding dress again, until she was sure that everything fit perfectly, and the designer refused to give up.
After taking Xiao Nuan to try on the bridesmaid dress, Xiao Nuan went to see the printed gold invitation card with her.
"Hey, Sister Ji, aren't you going to hold a banquet at your parents' side?" Xiao Nuan looked at the invitation card in her hand and said, "Why don't you have your former relatives and friends?" I remember you said that you used to study and intern in F City, right? Why don't you invite those classmates and friends over? And ......"
Xiao Nuan paused and asked suspiciously, "What about your parents?" ”
Xin Yao smiled: "If I have enough time, I should find time to go to F City to hold a thank-you banquet, of course, if time permits." ”
Seeing that Xin Yao avoided talking about her parents, Xiao Nuan just glanced up at her, and responded with a "hmm", and she didn't bother to ask more questions very sensibly, but said lightly: "The day after tomorrow is the wedding, I really didn't expect you to let me be your bridesmaid......"
When the two were about to walk to the nearby parking lot, Xiao Nuan was still chattering non-stop, Ji Xinyao was rummaging through the contents of the bag, and when she raised her head by chance, she saw Shan Lao walking out of the tea restaurant opposite.
"Miss Ji?" Originally, Xin Yao and Shan Lao were not very familiar with each other, so they didn't plan to walk over to say hello, and wanted to leave with Xiao Nuan when Shan Lao didn't notice him, but he didn't expect Shan Lao to come over to him.
She paused and stopped, the rheumatism in G City in winter was cold and extremely intense, although Shan Lao was not wearing a military uniform, he was still standing straight in civilian clothes: "Miss Ji, it's rare to meet in this place, do you have time to talk?" ”
Xin Yao glanced at Shan Lao hesitantly.
What do you want to talk about when you look for yourself?
But after Shan Lao said this, he turned around and took the lead back to the tea restaurant, she couldn't refuse, so she could only get rid of Xiao Nuan and take these big bags and small bags in her hand to the car first, and park her in the parking lot.
After entering the tea restaurant, Shan Lao sat there, his old face was still like a knife under the encroachment of the years, and his bright eyes looked at Ji Xinyao coming over, but he was always staring at her face, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Shan Lao."
"Miss Ji, sit."
When she sat down a little restrainedly, she saw that Shan Lao was still looking at her face, and she couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable being stared at, but she couldn't have a good seizure, so she could only smile awkwardly: "I don't know what Shan Lao suddenly called me in, what do you want to talk about?" ”
"Miss Ji, don't be afraid, I know this is very abrupt, but since I met, during this time in G City after I returned to China, I often walked out alone, and Shan Ying's girl didn't have much time to accompany me on weekdays, I'm fine, I have tea here with my old friends, and I coincidentally met Miss Ji."
"It's not abrupt, Shan Lao is polite."
"That's good, I won't delay Miss Ji too much of your time, but I just have some questions, and I may have to trouble Miss Ji to help me answer them." When the waiter brought a pot of tea, Shan Lao said with a polite smile.
Xin Yao nodded: "It's Shan Lao who raised me up with these words, but I don't know ...... What does Shan Lao want to ask me? ”
"Your mother......" After Shan Lao said this, he paused, looked at Ji Xinyao's expression that instantly stiffened, and thought about it for a while before saying: "Hehe, Miss Ji, don't mind, it's just that I found that you look very much like a girl I once knew, I heard that you are the illegitimate daughter of Staff Officer Ji, I don't have any ambiguity in what I say, I just want to ask, Miss Ji, where is your mother now?" ”
Ji Xinyao had long been indifferent to the three words illegitimate daughter, raised her eyes, looked at the deep meaning of exploration in Shan Lao's eyes, and couldn't help but suddenly think of her mother's name.
Shan Xiaoou.
There can never be so many coincidences in this world, originally her mother's surname was Shan, she didn't think much about it, but when Shan Lao asked like this, she had to think about it more, and her eyes looked at Shan Lao's face that was still full of military power in the years, as a person who had trekked at the bottom of society, he could sit with the former chairman of the Central Military Commission and drink a pot of tea, and there was not much intersection, wouldn't it be too strange?
She is very similar to her mother's eyebrows, this is when she looks at herself in the mirror when she grows up, and she compares the photos of her mother when she was young. She pondered for a moment before chuckling: "Listening to your tone, Shan Lao, you should know my mother?" ”
Seeing that she was not shallow in her hiding, Shan Lao simply took out an old black and white photo of a small size, in which was a little girl who looked to be only fourteen or fifteen years old, but it was obviously a photo of her mother when she was a teenager, and she could recognize it by just looking at it.
"Is your mother her?" Shan Lao pushed the photo in front of her, but he didn't beat around the bush.
Whether it is or not, for Ji Xinyao, this old photo still makes her a little trance.
What kind of family, what kind of childhood, will make her fall in love with someone she doesn't love when she is young, and finally commit suicide because of emotional injury, is this kind of focus too lacking in love or too fragile.
"Miss Ji?"
In a trance, when she heard Shan Lao calling her, she suddenly came back to her senses and glanced at the look in Shan Lao's eyes.
Xin Yao took a breath, took the photo, and said with a smile: "I don't know what the relationship between Shan Lao and the person in the photo is?" He does look like me. ”
Shan Lao was stunned, but he didn't expect her to give such an ambiguous answer: "I and the girl in this photo are relatives, relatives I haven't seen for many years." ”
He smiled politely, the words "are relatives" bite very hard, and they are also a little deliberate.
Xin Yao sneered in her heart, sure enough, she wanted to put some words on others, but she also played this ambiguous tactic, try to think about it, anyone is on guard, even if his identity is second to none, it doesn't mean that she will face someone who is not familiar with her in this situation to tell the truth in her heart.
What's more, all kinds of coincidences are linked, she is not a fool, she can vaguely guess anything, but the qiē she guessed is not real, she doesn't want to involve herself in any complicated or uncomplicated past and mix too much, the grievances and grievances of the older generation have nothing to do with her, whether it is the mother who committed suicide by jumping off the building when she was four years old, or the single old man in front of her who may have a little blood relationship with herself, but is hypocritical and polite, for her, she is unwilling to deliberately trace it.
Xin Yao was about to say something, but the phone rang, she picked up the phone, it was Xiao Nuan who said that there was an emergency in the dormitory, Xin Yao answered, and said that she would go over immediately. Until she hung up the phone, she glanced at Shan Lao: "Shan Lao is embarrassed, my friend is waiting for me in the parking lot and is a little anxious, I don't know what Shan Lao wants to ask me?" Let's just go straight. ”
Shan Lao hesitated, and looked at her lightly: "Since there is an urgent matter, Miss Ji will go and get busy, there is nothing to ......do," he said, he took the photo back, and seemed to be quite unhappy with her deep attitude.
"Okay, I'll go first." Xin Yao turned around and left.
"Miss Ji, I heard that it will be your wedding with Nancy in three days, I want to remind you." Suddenly, Shan Lao opened his mouth indifferently.
She paused, then glanced at him.
"Shan Ying is my only granddaughter, and I will unconditionally do my best to fight for my granddaughter what she wants."
Xin Yao just paused, and left without looking back.
**************************************************************************************
When she got home in the evening, Gu Nancy hadn't come back yet, Sister Qin was boiling Chinese medicine for her, and there was a faint fragrance of Chinese medicine scattered in the room, which was not strong, and it smelled very good.
Suddenly remembered that in addition to finalizing the wedding dress and Xiao Nuan's dress and invitation, there was also a necklace that she forgot to take, she couldn't help but glance at the sky, and instead went to call Gu Nancy and asked him to pick it up before going home.
The phone rang for a long time and no one answered, and when she was about to hang up, it was finally picked up, and she was about to speak, when she heard a woman's voice on the other end of the phone.
"Hello? I'm sorry, Nancy can't answer the phone right now, who are you? ”
It was Shan Ying's voice.
Ji Xinyao's hand on the phone tightened, but it was silent for a long time, although she didn't expect that the person who answered the phone would be Shan Ying, but Gu Nancy's mobile phone obviously had a note of her mobile phone number, since she knew that it was herself, why did she ask like this, why bother.
"What's the matter? I'll help you relay it to him. Shan Ying said patiently over there.
Ji Xinyao didn't speak, and slowly put down the phone.
"Madam, the medicine is boiled and you can drink it." Sister Qin came out of the kitchen, holding a bowl of thick Chinese medicine in her hand, and held it in front of her with a smile: "Drink it, I just cooled it for a few minutes, and it shouldn't be very hot now." ”
Xin Yao sat on the sofa, smiled at Sister Qin, picked up the bowl, and looked at her reflection in the decoction.
"What's wrong?" Seeing Xin Yao staring at the reflection in the bowl, but she didn't drink it, Sister Qin was stunned for a moment: "Are you afraid of bitterness?" You've drunk it for the past few days, and I want to prepare some sugar for you, but you don't need to, if it's still bitter, I'll buy some sugar now. ”
"No, Sister Qin." Xin Yao hooked her lips: "You go and do your work, I'll wash the dishes myself after I drink it." ”
Sister Qin nodded, turned around and went to get busy.
Xin Yao was barefoot, gently lifted to the sofa, curled up, a pair of feet together on the edge of the sofa, looked at her reflection in the bowl, and saw that she was laughing, but she was laughing helplessly.
She is the same as all women, she likes to mix in the Jin'jiang River in her spare time at work, red sleeves, and other stations to look through and kill time, and she likes to scold the scumbags in the novel, and hate those stupid and cowardly heroines. And now, in this chapter of the whole story of her life, when this pot of dog blood poured on her head, she suddenly felt very powerless.
Life is like chess, but the authorities are fascinated.
In fact, she understood very early on, in fact, she didn't have to wait until the end of our defeat to understand that she really lost. More often than not, we just have to look at each other's various ways to know whether we should pounce or detour.
But...... She's just not reconciled.
She was hungry, it only took five minutes to soak the noodles in the morning, and she was ready to eat immediately, and she soaked for four and a half minutes, when someone came to grab this bowl of noodles with her, how could you make her willing? How could she be willing?
She put down the bowl, picked up the phone again, and dialed Gu Nancy again, this time the other party answered quickly, and it was still Shan Ying: "Hey? ”
Xin Yao said into the phone: "Miss Shan, at 9:58 a.m. three days later, in the VIP hall on the first floor of the Skyline Hotel, you are welcome to attend my wedding, and I will send you the invitation card tomorrow." ”
There was a slight pause on the other side of the phone, and there was silence for a moment, and then Shan Ying's chuckling voice: "It turned out to be Xin Yao?" ”
"Don't forget to come and participate." She ignored the topic that Shan Ying wanted to provoke, and hung up the phone politely.
Maybe it's really stupid enough, maybe too many people will laugh at her now, because she can afford to hold it but can't put it down!
When she remembered that she hadn't drunk the medicine yet, she picked up the bowl of soup again, lowered her head and took a sip, bitter in her heart.
This medicine has been drunk for a few days, why did she only find out that the original Chinese medicine was so bitter that it could make people want to cry, this '' shouldn't be Huang Lian, right?
At 8 o'clock in the evening, Sister Qin cleaned up the room, and after seeing Xin Yao drink the medicine, she told her to rest early and leave on time.
Xin Yao ran upstairs with nothing to do, took the computer down, sat on the sofa and played mahjong with the computer, the clothes on her body had an anti-radiation effect, but after looking at the computer for too long, she was still a little dizzy, and suddenly she was nauseous, she threw down the computer and rushed into the bathroom, kneeling by the toilet for a while and retching, and couldn't vomit anything for a long time, but she was really uncomfortable, and she always wanted to spit out something Maybe it would be comfortable, her fingers were tightly on the edge of the toilet, and she didn't leave for a long time, until she finally vomited out some sour water, She didn't notice how long she had been kneeling here, and she just got up.
Maybe it was because of the poor blood circulation after kneeling for too long, as soon as I stood up, my eyes went dark, my brain was dizzy, and my body fell backwards involuntarily.
I was frightened, I was afraid of hurting the child, and I wanted to reach out and grab something to support myself, but I didn't catch anything in a hurry, and then I was warm behind me, and Qianjun was held up by someone in a moment, and then my body was stopped and picked up.
She raised her eyes and saw that it was Gu Nancy who had entered the door at some point. "So uncomfortable? Did you drink the medicine at night? He was still so gentle, carrying her all the way into the bedroom, gently putting her on the bed, raising his hand to caress her forehead that was overflowing with thin sweat because of the violent retching just now, and gently pulling back the broken hair on her forehead: "Don't kneel by the toilet to vomit in the future, blood circulation is not smooth, dizziness, what should I do if I fall?" ”
She didn't say anything, just quietly looked at his still soft and timeless smile, at the handsome face, and at the full care in his eyes that was not fake.
He took off his coat and turned around to get her fruit, only to see his mobile phone in the corner of his pocket, Xin Yao didn't understand, Shan Ying obviously answered her two calls, how could he Gu Nancy be so calm as if nothing had happened?
So the ghost reached over and picked up his phone, opened it and looked at it.
In the call record, the two calls she made at five or six o'clock in the evening were not recorded, and she was stunned and put down his mobile phone quietly.
Until he came in with some cut fruit and fed her two pieces: "Eat two pieces of fruit first, it should stop vomiting." I saw the computer on the couch, and you just played with it again? ”
She nodded as she ate the fruit he handed her, "Just played for a while." ”
As a result, Gu Nancy's face suddenly turned grim: "It's not that I told you, even if you wear a radiation protection suit, you haven't touched the computer much recently, your fetal gas is unstable, the pregnancy reaction is aggravated, and you are easy to get dizzy, and you will vomit more strictly in the face of the computer for a long time." ”
Seeing her eating fruit and seeing that he didn't speak, he sighed lightly, sat on the edge of the bed, gently hugged her shoulders, and caressed her back: "I'm worried that you're too uncomfortable like this, and I've seen you eat and vomit a lot these mornings." ”
He is like this, which makes her feel that he is very close to her.
As long as she gets closer, as long as she works harder, she can completely dominate him and not let others do anything. So she was reluctant to let go, and the adult love story was no longer as flawless as she did when she was young, she only asked that this flaw would not spoil the entire jade.
There was a faint sound of water in the bathroom, and Xin Yao was still sitting on the bed, quietly looking at the mottled night outside the window.
Gu Nancy finished taking a bath, Xin Yao was already shrunk in the quilt at that time, he seemed to be going to the study to read Wen Jiàn, but when he saw her curled up and seemed to be very cold, he took the dossier over, lay down beside her, took her in his arms, and gently patted her and coaxed her to sleep while flipping through the dossier.
Leaning into his arms, she pressed her head against his neck, and he smiled at her sideways, rubbing her face.
"Nancy."
"Huh?"
"Sing me a song."
What is rare is that he didn't refuse, and looked at her with a low smile: "What do you want to hear?" ”
