424. 420: Short-sighted
"Nangong Jue, don't push people too much!" Late at night, a roar with anger came from Nangong Jue's room, and there was no wave in his eyes, just looking at Lu Mengyao quietly.
Lu Mengyao stood there with tears on her face, the lights flickering and casting shadows on her face, swaying wantonly like a monster, she didn't care what Nangong Jue's identity was now, she only cared if Nangong Jue would marry her, in the current situation, no, and Lu Jiang had asked several times when the relationship between the two would be held.
Tossing and turning, Lu Mengyao still ran to Nangong Jue's room to question him.
All you get is silence.
"Go back to bed, it's late." Nangong said such a sentence for a long time, in a way, he was indeed sorry for Lu Mengyao, he promised Lu Mengyao that he would marry her, but now he is repenting, which makes Lu Mengyao a joke in the eyes of others, and he can't explain it to Lu Jiang.
"I'm not going back!" Lu Mengyao shouted hysterically, "Why are you doing this to me?!" Where am I inferior to Tang Li? It's you who keep giving me hope, why do you want to break all that hope in the end? Why?! β
Isn't bringing her to Tianwei Mountain just to give her hope? There was also a tacit acquiescence in the marriage of the two people, and let her take Lu Jiang up the mountain, all of this, Lu Mengyao thought that Nangong Jue accepted her beginning, but she never thought that she would be disillusioned so soon, and the huge gap made her unacceptable.
Nangong Jue looked at Lu Mengyao's crying face, and felt a faint sense of guilt in his heart, his previous vague attitude was a mistake, if he continued to mislead Lu Mengyao now, it would be a big mistake, even if he couldn't bear to see her crying, it was better than letting her keep holding that distant expectation.
"I'm sorry." Nangong Jue sighed, his always cold and calm face was also a little moved at this time, a pair of bright star-like eyes were unbearable, but his tone was so firm.
Nangong never wanted to deceive Lu Mengyao again, he didn't want to confuse gratitude and love anymore, even if he couldn't remember Tang Li, but that heartbeat feeling still existed in his heart, the throbbing when he saw Tang Li, and the urge to see her couldn't help but show that his emotional balance was tilting towards Tang Li, and now Tang Li was stuck in Nangong Ze's quagmire, he just wanted to pull her out quickly, and he didn't have the heart to think about other things.
Hearing Nangong Jue's humble apology, Lu Mengyao seemed to have lost her soul, she staggered back a step, leaned against the edge of the table, and muttered: "I love you so much, in exchange for your teasing and apologies again and again?" If you knew that this was the case, why didn't you just reject me sooner? Let me fall into despair again after great hope, is that how you treat me? It's ridiculous......"
"Be careful!" Seeing that Lu Mengyao almost collapsed to the ground, Nangong Jue subconsciously wanted to help her, but Lu Mengyao pushed Nangong Jue away and looked at Nangong Jue with an unfamiliar look: "Don't touch me, don't come to help me even if I'm injured, so that I won't misunderstand." β
After that, Lu Mengyao rushed out of Nangong Jue's room, Nangong Jue's footsteps chased to the door and stopped, Lu Mengyao was right, even if she was injured, don't rush to help her, don't be unbearable, don't face her with the kind of sympathy other than love, that will only make her misunderstand.
After leaving Nangong Jue's room, Lu Mengyao ran all the way out of the Tianhe Palace, the wind on the mountain was very cold, whistling like a knife, blowing over, tearing the temperature on Lu Mengyao's body violently, she walked in despair, aimlessly.
Maybe if you are blown by the cold wind, you can still be sober for a while.
Walking and walking, Lu Mengyao didn't know where she had gone, it was dark here, there was no light, she glanced around blankly, only the chirping of a few birds broke the silence, she stood alone in the cold night fog for a long time, and then returned to the Tianhe Palace.
"Pavilion Master, Miss Lu has returned to her room to rest." was sent by Nangong Jue to follow Lu Mengyao's little maid back to report.
"yes, got it." Nangong Jue sat under the lamp and flipped through some ancient books, and replied lightly.
This is a book he accidentally found from the study room of the Black Moon Pavilion, it is so old that the cover has fallen off several pieces, and the words in it are a little blurry, but the above sentence "No one knows where the ancient city of Yilan is" still attracted him, Bai Yuzhu once said some things about the ancient city of Yilan and Cangxingguo, and it seems that Qinglan Country is also involved, after Lu Mengyao woke him up, he was no longer sleepy, so he took a closer look at it.
But the inadequacy of this book is really serious, Nangong Jue read it for half a night, but found that it was written and written as some nonsense, not as much as he knew it himself, and finally he could only throw it aside irritably, the sky outside was already white, it seemed that it was going to dawn, and it seemed that the book had been written for so long without realizing it, and there was no gain at all.
Nangong Jue himself wanted to go down the mountain to find Tang Li now, but he couldn't go alone, so as not to drag others down.
"Nangong Jue!!" The door was slammed open, and Lu Jiang, who was only wearing a middle coat, broke in angrily, looked at it and roared: "That's how you treat your savior?" β
"Uncle Lu, what does this mean?" Nangong was a little puzzled, now that it was just dawn, Lu Jiang suddenly ran over to do something, and Lu Jiang's face was so ugly, did he know about Lu Mengyao's matter?
Lu Jiang slapped the table and looked at each other angrily: "If you don't want to marry Meng Yao, don't give her hope!" What does it mean now? β
It's really because of this matter, Nangong Jue felt quite helpless in his heart, didn't Lu Mengyao already sleep? How could Lu Jiang know about this matter at this time, Nangong definitely wanted to explain it clearly, but Lu Jiang didn't give him a chance to speak: "Now Meng Yao is looking for a short time, what should you do if you look at it, if something happens to her, I will definitely not let you go!" β|
Commit suicide? Nangong Jue was a little stunned: "What do you mean?" β
"What do you mean?" Lu Jiang laughed angrily: "Won't you just go and see for yourself?" β
As soon as dawn Lu Jiang was told that his daughter ran to a cliff to jump off the cliff, maybe because he was Lu Mengyao's father, so he was the first to inform him, and when asked about the reason, the maid replied hesitantly: "It seems to be a family affair with the pavilion master...... The Pavilion Master doesn't want toβ"
As soon as Lu Jiang heard this, he probably understood what was going on, he was dizzy, and he didn't go to find Lu Mengyao first, but rushed over to Nangong Jue to settle accounts, he also knew subconsciously that Lu Mengyao could listen to it except Nangong Jue's words, and he rushed to the cliff by himself, and he might not be able to persuade Lu Mengyao to go back.
Nangong never expected that Lu Mengyao would find a short-term view, and he didn't have time to change his clothes, so he got up and rushed out of the room.
He just wanted Lu Mengyao not to have that kind of fantasy and expectation, instead of thinking that she was hurt, after all, no matter how much Nangong Jue regarded Lu Mengyao as a sister.
"Pavilion Master, this ...... This Lu girl is like this suddenly......" Several maids saw Nangong Jue coming, and said with some horror, Lu Mengyao was standing on the edge of the cliff, very dangerous, and stones kept rolling down the cliff from her feet, but she didn't move or react at all.
"Leave first, and don't tell anyone." Nangong Jue instructed those maids, if there are more people, Lu Mengyao's emotions will be more excited, being divorced is not a good thing, a girl's family will always take care of face.
"Yes!" A few little maids left in a hurry.
At this time, Lu Jiang also arrived in a hurry, he looked at his only daughter standing on the edge of danger, and the dejected appearance made Lu Jiang's hatred for Nangong Jue a little more, but now is not the time to investigate who is right and who is wrong, the most important thing is to take Lu Mengyao out of here safely.
Nangong Jue slowly approached Lu Mengyao, wanting to pull her over while she didn't notice it, although Lu Mengyao had her back to Nangong Jue, as if she had a pair of eyes behind her, and when Nangong Jue was still a few meters away from touching her, she shouted: "Don't come here!" β
"Meng Yao, what are you doing?" Nangong Jue had no choice but to stop and asked.
"What do you say I'm doing?" Lu Mengyao turned her head, and a pale and tearful face appeared in front of Nangong Jue, looking at Nangong Jue with blank eyes, and said, "Is my relationship so cheap?" It's always up to you to have the final say, I'm just too stupid to see anything, since you are so tempted by Tang Li, why did you bring me here? β
Nangong was speechless, it was indeed his momentary mistake that he decided to bring Lu Mengyao here, giving Lu Mengyao such a big false hope, he also regretted it, but it was in order not to regret it all the time in the future, so he chose to turn back in time and change this wrong decision.
"Actually, you brought me here only because you became the pavilion master, and you didn't know where to put me, so you had no choice but to bring me here, right? It's not because you have any affection for me! Since I'm living like an idiot, why should I be an eyesore here, everyone knows that I don't want anyone anymore, it's just a joke to stay here! Lu Mengyao shouted in a broken heart.
Lu Jiang looked at the side like a knife, and wanted to open his mouth to persuade but didn't know where to start, Lu Mengyao looked at Lu Jiang with tears in her eyes, and said: "Dad, my daughter is not filial, for such a man, I will leave you alone by the river to live, and in the next life, my daughter will be filial again!" With that, Lu Mengyao took a deep look at Nangong Jue again, and then jumped down the cliff without hesitation.
"Meng Yao!" Lu Jiang rushed over like crazy, before him, Nangong Jue had already jumped down with him, he wanted to grab Lu Mengyao, but he didn't have time, he only grabbed her belt, and the two of them fell down the cliff one after the other, looking hazy in the faint morning mist, Lu Jiang knelt on the cliff and stretched out his hand, but he couldn't catch anything......
The sky was already bright, and the frost on the ground was coldly imprinted on Lu Jiang's knees, but he couldn't feel anything, shouldn't he have saved Nangong Jue in the first place?
