Chapter 50

It all ended when that phone rang.

I don't know what the other party said, Xu Yichen sat up suddenly, his brows furrowed slightly, and after putting on his clothes in a panic, he hung up the phone silently, and before leaving, he pretended to be calm and whitewashed the peace, and said to her simply: "Wait for me to come back."

With a "boom", the glass window sounded a thunderclap, and the gray night sky obscured the sight of Qiฤ“.

Lin Suxin appeared in front of the door at this time, the lights of this night became more and more dim, reflecting on her cold face, the pouring rain finally came, Xia Liangliang closed the window, turned around and saw Lin Suxin, facing her gloomy face, for a while, she couldn't help but tremble.

Lin Suxin sat on the sofa with a pleasant expression, took out a red woolen coat from the paper bag in her hand, and handed it to Xia Liangxi, her voice was as indifferent as ever: "Put it on and let me see." โ€

Xia Liangshan took the coat with a surprised face, and looked at it carefully, it was the oldest style, but the waistline was clear and the shoulder line was straight. She didn't ask Lin Suxin what she was going to do, but put it on clumsily, and in the mirror, her whole body was lined with it.

Lin Suxin walked behind her and nodded at her with satisfaction, "Well, I can really wear the style of my youth." โ€

She took off her coat and wrapped it, and finally couldn't hide her curiosity, she asked Lin Suxin: "You came to Sanya so late, it must not be as simple as sending me a coat, right?" โ€

Looking out the window that was becoming more and more hazy by the heavy rain, Lin Suxin turned her head and looked at her with a very complicated look, "Oh? Miss Xia is so sure? โ€

After speaking, she smiled meaningfully, and her smile was faintly mixed with a wisp of bitterness, "Miss Xia doesn't know, Xu Siyuan he... He's dead. โ€

She was taken aback, "When?" โ€

"This afternoon." She sighed, her eyes glowing red, and she looked unusually dazzling in the light.

"Do you know why he died?"

Stunned for a moment, Xia Liangshan shook his head.

At this time, Lin Suxin's eyes showed a trace of grief, as if she would collapse anytime and anywhere, she had been desperately suppressing, and her voice was rare and gentle: "He died on the way to go on a date with Xu Ruolan!" โ€

"So many years! He really didn't forget her! You see, including his death, it is closely related to Xu Ruolan's woman! At this time, the blue tendons on her forehead burst out, and in order to calm down, she held her forehead with both hands, but she still couldn't hide her trembling.

At that moment, Xia Liangshan finally understood why Xu Er left in a hurry.

Seeing that she stroked the woolen coat in her hand, her eyes were full of confusion, Lin Suxin raised her eyes and asked her, "Do you know why I gave you this coat?" โ€

"It was more than 20 years ago, and I met my parents-in-law for the first time, and this coat was a gift that my mother-in-law sewed for me."

"When I see it now, I always think of what happened more than 20 years ago, I don't dare to recall, let alone face it, because I hate Xu Siyuan, when I knew that the cause of his car accident was related to Xu Ruolan, I didn't go to the hospital to see him for the last time, and I wouldn't even attend his funeral."

"Now that I think about it, a marriage without love is like a pool of stagnant water, the surface is calm, but it torments you day and night and you can't sleep, in the face of his cold eyes, you have to find ways to please him, when he doesn't come home at night, you have to come up with a thousand and ten thousand reasons for him to comfort yourself that he is just too busy...... Xia Liangsi, now I take back what I said to you last time. โ€

Speaking of this, Lin Suxin's face showed a trace of embarrassment and sadness, she lowered her eyes, stood up, and said with emotion: "Look, people really have to be prepared to be slapped by reality anytime and anywhere, you should have seen the widely circulated video on Weibo today, right?" Xu Er is really... A model of a good hand of cards played poorly, do you know why he came to Sanya to record the show? Because he wanted to truthfully expose Xu Mingchen's conspiracy to the public, and he wanted to rely on the power of public opinion to put pressure on the board of directors, and now it seems that the various side branches of the Xu family have been disappointed in him, from the moment he chose to stand behind you. โ€

"So what can I do for him?" She looked at Lin Suxin with anxious eyes, but her thoughts became clearer and clearer.

"Miss Xia, don't panic, I'm not here to get you to leave him..."Lin Suxin frowned at her nervous and confused eyes.

"So you're... Why? โ€

"You have two choices now, the first is to accept this coat I gave you, and return to Haicheng with me overnight to accompany Xu Er to take care of his father's funeral. In the end, you leave Haicheng and go back to the United States to live an ordinary life. โ€

She was unmoved, and quietly waited for Lin Suxin's next words: "The second choice is to resign and leave Haicheng with your son, no matter whether Xu Er finds you or not, stay away from him, because only when you leave, he will have a better future and a better future." โ€

Her heart suffocated, as if it was dripping blood, and she fell silent. It seemed like a century had passed, and Lin Suxin interrupted her: "Miss Xia, have you thought about it?" โ€

At that moment, her face was pale and her eyes were gray as she looked at the blurred reflection on the glass window, she had never felt so wolfish.

"I choose to leave, since I can't afford to give him a better future, then I might as well use my departure to fulfill him." After speaking, she was so cold that she curled up on the sofa, under the yellow lamp, Lin Suxin's eyes became more and more shining and dazzling, "You, won't you regret it?" โ€

She barely supported herself with her body, sat up, and pretended to be indifferent, "It's okay, I'm still young, and I will always meet someone who loves me more than Xu Er in the future." After speaking, she felt a faint dizziness in her head, but in front of Lin Suxin, she still gritted her teeth and held on.

"But you have to have a good reason to leave?"

These words made Xia Liangshan slightly stunned, but in the next second, she suddenly noticed the voice recorder in Lin Suxin's pocket, she immediately reacted, and said: "I admit that compared to Xu Er, your money makes me feel more excited, it is enough for me and Ah Li to live this life without worrying about food and clothing." Thank you, Mrs. Xu! โ€

Lin Suxin was completely stunned, she didn't expect her long-planned plan to be seen by her at a glance, she gently โ–กโ–ก her hand into her jacket pocket, as if to cover it up, although she didn't know what the point of covering it up like this was.

It's just that before leaving, she still handed her a card, but Xia Liangshan categorically refused, she smiled bitterly, her eyes were as wet as mist, and she said in a low voice: "I won't ask you for a penny, but there is one more thing, I need you to promise me." โ€

"Tell me, what's the matter?"

"Give me two more days, I want to go back to Haicheng to accompany him, if I leave him at this time, he will definitely suffer a heavier blow..."

"I promise you."

**

In this way, she and Lin Suxin braved the storm and rushed back to Haicheng overnight.

On the plane, she had a short, short dream.

In her dream, it was still a cold setting of pouring rain, she was huddled at the mouth of a small alley in Qingfeng Town, her body was soaked through the rain, she was cold and shrunk, but her eyes were always staring at the baked cake shop across the road.

When she was hungry, she swallowed her saliva and saw Xu Er. In the night, he was dressed in rags, but his face was a young man with clear eyebrows, and at that time, with a warm smile in his voice, he bought her hot pancakes, and finally did not forget to stuff her with the only coin in his pocket.

"That's all I have, you take it, if you're hungry, buy another pancake, and if you're too tired to walk, take the bus home."

โ€ฆโ€ฆ

In the end, she woke up crying, Lin Suxin beside her saw it in her eyes, but she could only sigh quietly in her heart, now she has nothing but Xu Er, if she doesn't ask Xia Liangshan to leave at this time, will even her son lose to Xu Ruolan's son? As soon as Xu Siyuan died, she no longer wanted to be Xu Ruolan's subordinate.

She thinks that love must be there after all, but how many people in this world will understand after time flies and the white horse passes through the gap, no matter how good love is, sooner or later it will be defeated in the triviality of firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea, and no matter how good the perfume is, it is no match for the lethality of a leek box.

Now she and Xu Er don't understand, maybe five years later, ten years later, they will understand that falling in love with someone is like digging a pit, and it is themselves who will be ruined in the end.

Just like she used to be.

In the end, there was an ending that outweighed the losses.

After getting off the plane, she said a brief goodbye to Lin Suxin, and then got in the car and went to Haicheng Funeral Home.

When the taxi stopped downstairs at the funeral home, she quickly rushed out of the car, through the faint street lights, she dialed the familiar number, the voice was as cold as winter snow, "Why don't you sleep at this time?" โ€

As she walked into the funeral parlor hall, she asked him on the phone: "Xu Er, I have returned to Haicheng, and now in the funeral parlor hall, where are you?" โ€

He was obviously stunned, but within a few seconds he regained his composure, and then, his voice was full of exhaustion and weakness: "Good, go home and sleep now, I'll handle this matter alone." โ€

"But..."

Seeing her hesitation, he hurriedly interrupted her: "Okay, that's it, I don't have time to send you home now, you go out and call a taxi, remember to call me when you get home." โ€

Listening to the busy sound of "beep" on the phone, she looked up inadvertently and saw that in the glass window on the second floor, a young woman was falling into Xu Er's arms, crying with pear blossoms and rain.

At that moment, she only saw the woman's blurred side face, but her sadness could not be concealed in any way.

At that moment, she became depressed, and when he raised his eyes, he lowered his head and saw her pale.

She stumbled backwards to meet his cold eyes, sweating profusely as she ran out of the hall, but he didn't appear behind her the whole time.

In this way, she was drenched in the rain of Haicheng all the way, and when she walked home, she fainted on the cold floor, and after a high fever for two days and two nights, it was Li Fangfei who had been with her.
