21. Chapter XX

The sun still seemed to be a little dazzling at 3 p.m., and the left half of my face was a little hot through the car window, but the air conditioning in the car was so full that it almost made people shiver.

I could feel the car slowly stop, and after two seconds of silence, I heard the person in front of me say, "Miss, the place has arrived, do you want to drive in or just stop here?" ”

I opened my eyes and turned my head to look out the car window, where I saw lush vegetation, several buildings enclosed in a wall, and a few words written on the wall of the gate outside.

A qiΔ“ is exactly the same as in the photo.

I took out the vanity mirror from my bag, looked at it, took out another coral red lipstick, traced it to the mirror, then took out a pair of sunglasses from the box, put them on, and said, "Just wait for me here." ”

The driver said, "Okay, it's not good to park at the gate, I'll stop on the side of the road and wait for you." ”

I got out of the car with my bag in my hand, not noticing a rock under my feet and almost tripping over my high heels.

After standing still, I took a breath, I slowly walked into the park, and when I arrived at the front desk, I explained my identity, and the other party laughed clearly: "Oh, you are Miss Li, you came to find Teacher Cen, right?" Teacher Cen is in class now, and it will take you twenty minutes to do so, so I'll take you to the reception room for a while. ”

I nodded: "Thanks, trouble." ”

I was sitting alone in the reception room, by the window, looking out on the windowsill, and I casually saw a few nightshades planted outside. The aroma of nightshade is too strong and can make people with high blood pressure and heart disease feel dizzy and flustered. It's no wonder I've been feeling a little tight in my chest all the time until now, and that's probably why.

After sitting for a long time, I picked up the paper cup in front of me and drank two sips of tea, when I suddenly heard a very light and gentle voice in my ear: "Excuse me, is it Miss Li?" ”

I retracted my gaze and turned my head, and there was a person standing in front of me, and her steps were so light that I didn't even notice it. After a few seconds of silence, I said, "Are you Teacher Cen Jia?" ”

She nodded her head again, and I said, "Please be seated." ”

She bowed slightly, then sat down opposite me, looked at the table and whispered: "The school has already told me about your intentions, but I'm really sorry Miss Li, I haven't danced on stage for many years, thank you for inviting me to join your dance troupe, but I'm afraid I'm not competent, come and say sorry to you." ”

After a few seconds of silence, I took off my sunglasses and she lifted her eyes so I could see her well. Maybe it's because of illness, her face is almost transparent, but just like everyone told me, her facial features and temperament are really good-looking, a little too much, I thought about the stars in the entertainment industry, all the oriental beauties who flaunt their classical temperament, none of them are more standard than her.

After a few more seconds of silence, I swallowed my saliva and said straight to the point: "Miss Cen, I won't hide it from you, and I don't want to waste time with you." I'm not actually the head of a dance company. My name is Li Qiao, I am from N City, and Qin Yan is my fiancΓ©. ”

Her expression suddenly froze for a moment, I lowered my head, took out the letter and photo she sent to Qin Yan from my bag and threw them on the table: "I came to ask you to explain what this means." ”

She stared at the things on the table in a daze, and didn't make a sound for a long time. I wasn't in a hurry, and slowly took two more sips of tea, only to hear her say in a stunned and somewhat panicked voice: "Miss Li......"

I leaned back on the couch and said nothing, thinking that the expression on my face must be very arrogant and domineering now, and it is very difficult to hold such an expression, especially when I feel very uncomfortable.

I waited for more than ten seconds before waiting for her to speak again, but I didn't expect her to give any explanation, just asked me: "Miss Li, how is Qin Yan, is he okay?" ”

I looked at her and didn't know why I choked up, but I still maintained an indifferent voice: "I am about to get married to him, do you think he is good?" Miss Cen, Qin Yan is very good, until your letter appears in front of us. ”

She was stunned for a moment, finally lowered her eyes, and said very softly, "I'm sorry." ”

I didn't give her a chance to breathe, and said the lines prepared in my stomach in one go, and I said indifferently: "To be honest, Miss Cen, your letter bothered us. I know about you, although I am very sympathetic to what you experienced seven years ago, Qin Yan was also very guilty for a while. But so much time has passed, and Qin Yan has been looking for you for many years before, haven't you shown up? That being the case, why write him such a letter at this time? Or did you hear where he was getting married, so you suddenly regretted that you couldn't bear him? But do you know how much trouble your irresponsible behavior has caused him, what do you want him to do at this juncture, do you want him to break the marriage contract for you and let everyone see the joke? ”

Saying that there was some shortness of breath in my chest, I took a deep breath and continued: "Miss Cen, you are a person from a scholarly family, and I also know that you are very good, so I also hope that you can be a little ashamed and not be a person who destroys other people's marriages." I understand your current situation, although your parents are both cultured people, but in order to help you treat your illness all these years, and in order to escape the world with you, they have not shown up to work for many years, if you have any financial difficulties, I can help you, as long as you promise me ......"

Cen Jia suddenly interrupted me, there were already some tears in her eyes, and her tone was a little hurried: "Miss Li, please don't say that, I didn't know that Qin Yan was going to get married." If I had known that he was engaged, I would certainly not have written to him...... It's because I heard that he has been looking for me for a long time, and I haven't seen him, and he is in a very bad mental state, so I want to tell him what my life is like now, and let him not worry. I didn't want him to do anything, if I had a way to face him, I wouldn't have hid a long time ago, after that incident......" Her eyes seemed to be suddenly a little out of control, frightened and speechless, for a while, lowered her eyes and choked up, and big tears fell: "...... I'm sorry. ”

She cried very inhibitively, blocking her eyes with one hand, clenching her hand tightly on the table, the cyan veins bulging on the back of her pale and slender hand, but the appearance of crying was still very beautiful, and anyone who saw it would feel distressed.

I lowered my head and fiddled with my nails silently under the table, my fingers trembling uncontrollably. For a moment I was in a trance, and I remembered that I had never painted such a bright red on my hands, as if I had never said such cruel and mean words to anyone. I'm not even twenty-three years old, and I don't know why I'm here to play the role of the most vicious middle-aged woman in this TV series. For a moment, I suddenly thought of Zhao Yi, I remembered the way he forced me to leave Qin Yan in front of me at that time, I thought he was very disgusting at that time, but what is the difference between what I am doing now and him, and even my posture is far more hateful and despicable than his.

After being silent for a long time, I heard Cen Jia choke up and say, "Miss Li, I apologize for the trouble I have caused you, please rest assured that you and Qin Yan don't need you to help me, and I won't take the initiative to contact him again...... If he can have a good time, that's enough. ”

I looked up at her, for a long time, not knowing how the voice came out of my throat, and I forced, "What if he takes the initiative to come to you?" ”

She raised her eyes to look at me, and seemed to hesitate for a while, but after a long silence, she still said: "I have had such a thing, and now my health is not good, how can I be with him again...... Miss Li, please take good care of him, and persuade him, just say that time has passed for so long, he should have started a new life a long time ago, and there is nothing I can't get over. ”

I said, "Okay, please remember what you said today." Rest assured, I assure you that he will live happily. ”

After saying that, I didn't know what I was panicking about, so I grabbed the letter and photos on the table and left without looking back. Before leaving, I vaguely heard the sound of sobbing behind me.

On the way back, I got out of the car nauseously and vomited three times. After taking the medicine, I barely managed to get home, and as soon as I entered the door, I just heard my aunt say "Miss Buckwheat is back", and my eyes went black, and I didn't know what happened next.

When I woke up this time, I was in my bedroom, and my aunt was next to me, and when she saw me open her eyes, she said, "Miss Buckwheat is awake?" Mr. and Mrs. sent the doctor out and will be back in a moment. ”

I reminisced and said, "What's wrong with me? ”

"The doctor said it was a transient syncope caused by tachycardia and myocardial ischemia." The aunt looked a little worried: "Miss buckwheat, you have to pay attention to your body, you haven't eaten much these days, the doctor said that this is not good, your body can no longer lose weight, it will be more likely to get sick." ”

I couldn't laugh or cry a little, and I pulled the corners of my mouth and smiled at my aunt: "Okay, I don't lose weight." ”

The aunt sighed and said, "I'll go get a towel and wipe your face." ”

Soon after my aunt went out, my dad and Chen Qian came in through the door. In addition to worry, my dad was a little angry on his face, and walked to the bed and asked me with a frown, "Where are you going crazy?" Nightclub? ”

I had no choice but to say, "Dad, have you ever seen a nightclub open in broad daylight......?"

My dad was furious and said, "So where have you been?" That's it as soon as you come back! Look at your face with heavy makeup, it's like you're ten years older! ”

Chen Qian played a round on the side: "She just woke up, why are you so fierce?" You go down to eat, by the way, see if the porridge is cooked, and let the aunt serve it. ”

My dad glared at me twice again before leaving, Chen Qian sat at the head of my bed and was quiet for a few seconds, and said tentatively: "Buckwheat, are you okay?" I'm not in good shape at home these days. ”

I shook my head, and she was silent for another two seconds, unsure, "Emotional matters?" ”

I was stunned, quiet for half a minute, sat up with my body propped up, leaned on the pillow behind me, and after a long time, I asked her, "Aunt Chen, do you think my father loves you?" ”

She was stunned for a moment, and I said, "My dad used to love my mom very much, and before they got married, the doctor said that my mom had a heart attack and that it was better not to have children in the future." You know, in a family like my dad, my grandparents couldn't let him have no queen, and even hoped that it would be better to be a boy, but my dad was still very determined to marry her, and then my mom took the risk of giving birth to me, and when she gave birth, she induced heart failure, and my dad resolutely didn't want a second child. Later, my mother passed away, and I always thought that since my father loved my mother so much, he would definitely never marry again in this life. But I didn't expect him to marry you again later, you say, is there no relationship in the world that will last forever? Even if the relationship was deep before, it will slowly fade over time? ”

She listened to my words, pondered for a moment, and hesitated: "How can I say this, everyone's understanding and needs for marriage are different, I think...... It's true that your dad doesn't love me as much as your mom, but I ...... Me too. Buckwheat, I think your dad and I are more just in each other's company. As she spoke, she laughed self-deprecatingly again, "If your mother is still alive, there must be nothing to do with me." ”

I was silent for a long time, bowed my head and closed my eyes: "Yes, I see." ”

Chen Qian said: "What's the matter, what do you mean by asking me?" ”

I shook my head: "It's nothing, I just watched a movie and felt it." ”

She didn't say anything, and after a while, she muttered again: "Qin Yan called home just now, saying that he called your mobile phone several times in the afternoon and you didn't answer it, I told him that you were sick, and he said that he came to see you at home after work." ”

I froze, and after a few seconds, nodded, "Oh, I see." ”
