20. Let go

When Xiao Li came in a hurry, the wedding banquet was already halfway open, and he swept around with his eyes, but he didn't find April's figure. When someone saw him coming, they asked him if he had also come to the wedding, and he answered yes, and asked where the man was in April.

The man pointed to the door of the bedroom, and said more by the way: "A woman also came over just now, and then Qi met that kid and followed her out, and I don't know what to do." However, it is always not good to hold a wedding banquet, and the groom leaves temporarily to leave the bride here alone. ”

It is estimated that he drank a few more glasses, and the man poked out the words in his heart, and the woman next to him touched his waist with her elbow and glared at him, and the man reacted and closed his mouth stupidly.

When Xiao Li heard this, his expression was abrupt, and he intuitively felt that something was wrong. He narrowed his eyes quietly, and followed the direction of the man's finger to the bedroom door.

Knock knock.

"Come in." A woman's steady voice came from inside the door.

He pushed the door in, and at a glance, he saw April sitting on the big red quilt dressed in red.

Today's April looks a little different from usual. At this moment, she sat quietly at the head of the bed, her legs elegantly together, her usually overly haggard face was covered by delicate makeup, which made her clear eyes particularly prominent, and her lips, which should have been shortcomings, were carefully painted, which instantly added a touch of nobility and calmness to her.

This kind of April is amazing.

He gently closed the door and turned to walk towards April, and when he was three steps away from her, he paused, bowed his head, and exclaimed sincerely, "April, you are so beautiful today." ”

The woman smiled slightly, "You're here, I thought you wouldn't be here today." ”

Xiao Li moved a chair and sat opposite April, hearing her say this, he frowned lightly, and brought an apology: "I'm sorry, because of work, I came a little late." ”

"Hmm." April responded uncertainly, and suddenly stood up, "You haven't eaten yet, I'll take you to the kitchen, Lao Zhao should still have some dishes, all of which have not been touched." ”

The man reached out to stop her movements, put his hands on her shoulders, and told her to sit down again. April sat back in a daze, looked at him puzzled, and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"I have something to tell you." Xiao Li's expression was solemn.

April's body stiffened, and she disguised her hair in a bun that was not messy, "What's the matter?" ”

Taking in her uncomfortable expression and demeanor, Xiao Li lowered her eyes slightly, and took out a red envelope from the pocket of the left breast of her suit, "Didn't I tell you not long ago, when you get married, I will send you a big red envelope." As he spoke, he handed the red envelope in his hand to the front of April.

The woman looked at the red envelope he handed over in a daze, just looking at the thickness, it seemed that there was a lot of money, and the thin red paper was full of it, and the seal was not sealed. Seeing that she didn't accept it, Xiao Li blinked lazily, shook the weight on his hand with his hand, and said seriously: "This is my little heart, if you don't accept it, you won't treat me as a friend." ”

April had a difficult face, thought for a moment, and said hesitantly: "You give too much, I don't ......"

Xiao Li interrupted her: "Now the gift money for marriage is a few thousand, which is 10,000, I originally wanted to give a package of 9999, I wish you can live a long time." But then there is bound to be change, and it is inconvenient to jingle it, so-"

He lengthened his voice and spread his other hand toward her, "Please give me a dollar." He originally wanted to pack 100,000 yuan, but after thinking about it, he couldn't stuff it and said that he would definitely not accept it in April, so he had to go to zero.

It's been a long time, and she seems to have a special relationship with the number 9. I wanted to tear my mouth open and smile happily, but I found that I couldn't laugh. Xiao Li's hand was a little sour, but the woman still lowered her head silently, without meaning to take it, he frowned slightly and took his hand back.

She seemed to be a little out of shape, although her face was silent.

More than ten years have passed, but her character has not changed, everything is hidden in her heart, stubborn like a stone.

He pondered for a while, changed his tone, and coaxed her with a soft and spring-like voice: "Did something happen?" ”

April opened her mouth and was about to open her mouth when the phone rang. Stunned, she picked up her phone and stared straight at the screen for a few seconds. Seeing her indistinguishable and hesitant look, Xiao Li's eyes sank, and he snatched the mobile phone in her hand, and glanced at the number displayed on the screen, which was an unfamiliar number without remarks.

He lifted his eyelids and glanced at April, whose mouth was tightly pursed, and pressed the hands-free button directly.

Suddenly, a series of indistinct conversations came out.

"Qin Qin, I'm sorry, we'll ...... in the future Don't get in touch anymore. The man snorted.

"Qi Yu, don't you love me, do you really want to marry that woman?" The woman's tone was painful and questioning.

Xiao Li twisted his eyebrows, his face was a little ugly, he quietly looked at the woman sitting opposite, and saw that she was holding her eyes, and her eyes were always on a peony of a special color on the cheongsam, and she never moved her gaze.

Maybe the makeup was too thick, and at this time, he didn't find any superfluous expression on her face, and the whole person was like a lifeless relief. No matter how carefully retouched the sketch is, it can't match the vivid colors of the painting.

The person on the phone was still talking, "It's all gone between us, April was so good to me, I can't be sorry for her." ”

"When you're with me, you're already sorry for her." The woman's voice was a little sarcastic, "You say, if I sue her you were still with me ten days before you were going to get married. bed, what will she do if she knows? ”

The man didn't speak, perhaps out of shame, or perhaps out of regret.

There was silence on the phone, Xiao Li took the time to glance at the screen, and the phone was still on call. He didn't know what to say, he felt that he should comfort April, but the woman's expression was blank and silent, and he didn't know how to speak.

After a long time, on the phone, Qi Yu said in despair: "Qin Qin, I'm sorry, I hurt you, please don't tell me if it's okay in April, doesn't your mother need money for hospitalization, I can help you ......"

"I'm pregnant." The woman calmly interrupted him, "So, what do you want me to do?" Or knock out this child? ”

This news, no less than a small bomb, exploded in this new house with a bang. Xiao Li finally couldn't hide his anger, stood up suddenly, and went over to take April's hand, "Let's go, don't get married this one, such a man who pedals two boats, just give it to the woman named Qin Qin on the phone." By the way, have you got the certificate?

April looked silent and continued to listen to the conversation on the phone, "Impossible, how can we have children when we have taken protective measures?" Qi Yu's voice sounded a little incredulous, and April closed her eyes in disgust.

"Together." The woman couldn't help but call him, "Are you doubting me, why should I lie to you with this." After saying these words, there was a rustling sound of paper rubbing on the phone. It should be Qin Qin who showed Qi Yu the pregnancy test report.

"Qin Qin, I ......" The phone was cut off at this time. April looked at Xiao Li's hand that grabbed her arm, and said sullenly: "Do you think I'm stupid, before this call, I still had hope that Ah Yu would come back to me." ”

"So you already knew." Xiao Li said with certainty. The woman's hair was like a waterfall, elegantly tied into a bun, and he looked at a hairpin on top of her head, and suddenly lost his speech.

"yes." April slowly broke free of his hand and got up and walked to the only window in his bedroom. Through the characters pasted on the window, she looked at the scenery outside the window, and her slender figure was like a picture of a beauty with residual makeup.

She accepted such a bleak ending in the most beautiful moment of her life.

"Not long ago, Qin Qin came to look for me." She spoke softly.

"Then you ......" looked at her silhouette, Xiao Li stopped talking.

The woman turned her head, her eyes were dull without glasses, and she laughed at herself: "I deliberately pretended not to know, I was gambling, betting on Qi Yu's feelings for me." But now I suddenly don't want to gamble, not because I'm afraid, but because I cling to someone else like a driftwood, and I will always lose. With that, she turned around and took her first step straight and forcefully.

Xiao Li watched quietly behind her, watching her announce to everyone emotionlessly: "I'm sorry, today's wedding is declared invalid, you can continue to eat, I won't disturb you." ”

Before the words fell, the crowd suddenly exploded, and you and I rushed over to ask her what happened. April didn't respond, saying sorry one by one. Xiao Li ran over to her and asked, "Sister April, why did you cancel the wedding banquet, what happened?" ”

"It's nothing, the cheongsam I rented will be taken off for you in a while, and you will bring it back to the wedding dress shop by the way when you go back." April avoided the important and did not want to talk about it more. The chaos continued for a while, and by the time the building was empty, it had only been two hours. After all, it was just a nodding acquaintance, and everyone didn't have much friendship with her, and the apparent care and politeness only lasted for a while.

When everyone left, facing the cold silence after the hustle and bustle, she just silently took the rag and slowly cleaned up the leftovers on the table. Xiao Li wanted to stay with him, but a phone call from his superiors called him back. Before leaving, he looked complicated and said concisely: "If you have something, you must call me." ”

"Well, be careful on the road." April cared, and when she saw the last person around her leave, she suddenly lost the mood to clean up. Throwing the rag on the table, she pulled over a chair and sat down, her eyes blank, not knowing what she was thinking.

Just then, the phone rang again. April took it silently, listening to the woman on the phone say a few words, her face was expressionless, her lips moved slightly, and she silently spit out a few words: "You won." ”
