I didn't expect Jiang Zuoyi to really listen to me and stop and wait, so without warning, I banged on his magnificent back. A sense of immediacy without hitting the south wall and not looking back, poured the rice pot and fish soup all over him.

Jiang Zuoyi turned his head and looked at me with his eyebrows, and there seemed to be a hint of deliberate mockery in his silence. It's as if to say, 'Shu Lan, your painting style is wrong, this kind of blind behavior should be only found by a stupid white sweet heroine'.

I apologized again and again, and bent down in embarrassment to clean up the mess. As a result, in the next second, he was dragged up by this man with one wrist.

He pestled me against the wall at the bevel of the staircase, just as I had just done with the pestle. I didn't know what I was doing, so I just looked at him for a moment and looked away.

He didn't speak, he just looked at me. But I have always felt that Jiang Zuoyi, who does not speak, is the most terrifying.

I thought to myself, if you don't say it, I'll say it, everyone is an adult.

"Just now, that ...... How long have you been here? ”

After saying that, I regretted it, because I felt that Jiang Zuoyi's face was not very good-looking, and it was even whiter than when he was injured. Subconsciously reached out and touched his waist, and I said, you don't care, right? Did it hurt?

"Shu Lan," Jiang Zuoyi retracted his gaze and glanced at me sideways, with the same look of disdain as always, which made me more and more at a loss.

"Do you know what it means to be my woman?"

I bit my lip and whispered something I hadn't officially promised you yet. How much more are you......

I want to say that you are obviously indulging in your heart and can't extricate yourself, what right do you have to ask me to forget my old love so easily?

But I didn't say the last half of the sentence, and I don't think we had to hurt each other since we didn't love each other. People's words are like knives, piercing the heart.

After reading what we shouldn't see, we have touched a lot of morality, so at least we can control ourselves and stop saying what we shouldn't say anymore.

I don't want to ask Jiang Zuoyi more about Ah Xue, just as I don't want to tell him about this bit of between me and Ye Jinliang.

But I still feel like I'm losing first-because I'm already curious, but Jiang Zuoyi, he probably didn't take those bad things about me to heart at all!

But right now, his face ...... It looks like he's jealous, what the hell!

"Shu Lan, you have said so many ambitious words in a high-sounding manner. For someone as cold-blooded as me to be almost touched by the persistence of you, a great single mother.

But if even you don't know which man you should position your child as a father, why should she be able to judge it strongly? ”

Jiang Zuoyi's few words forced me to collapse on the spot.

I admit that I take it for granted, and if my daughter is suffering from a physical disease, I will not frown and dedicate it to her without frowning. But now, it seems like I'm changing my father for her.

When I first proposed this condition to Jiang Zuoyi, I just wanted to deter the man with a gun in his hand and covered in blood. But he ...... Is it serious?

When he laughed and played with Ye Zi, he didn't look like a devil who dared to kill people in his teens. His gentle eyes, gentle tone, not afraid of being a cheap image, and...... And the natural expression when he put his arms around me and took pictures.

Jiang Zuoyi, you are really a actor!

When you enter the play, let the audience cry and laugh with you, and rush to the next set with a wipe of face after the finishing. I'm the only one who's going to see what your ex-girlfriend looks like a fool!

I think, in the final analysis, it's just because I can't find a relationship anymore that can be as natural as when Ye Jinliang and I fell in love.

The adult world is full of too many conflicts of interest and deception, and people who long for love are always doing things that question love. It's just that I'm not strong enough, I'm afraid that I will lose and have nothing.

The lights in the fire escape were dim and dim, and the silence was so long that the voice-activated lights were impatient.

The moment the darkness hit, Jiang Zuoyi approached me.

I thought he was going to kiss me, or even crazier - to ask me for his share of the money he paid me for being with my daughter!

But he finally didn't do anything, and looked at me like a prey for a while. Finally, he said, "Let's go for supper." ”

I was really hungry, so I soaked in soup for dinner and fish soup for a good night.

Jiang Zuoyi and I went to the convenience store downstairs of the hospital and bought two quick meals and two cups of milk tea.

Sitting on the long table in the store, looking at the beef rice heated in the microwave, the traffic outside the window was bright.

"Do you mind telling me about Ah Xue?" I say. As soon as I finished speaking, I saw him glaring at me, so I smiled bitterly: "You misunderstood, I am not the Holy Mother of the White Lotus in the youth campus idol." I'm not trying to comfort you, I'm just curious. ”

"Do you feel embarrassed that your messy state of life is completely exposed in front of me?" Jiang Zuoyi turned out the braised eggs in the dish, just like the arrogant expression of refusing to eat the egg yolk before, and directly pulled it out and threw it into my bowl: "So I want to pick up other people's things and find a balance?" ”

I smiled bitterly in my heart, what kind of mess is this, I haven't even told you that I was almost raped by gay with AIDS, and I still can't figure out who Yezi's father is!

But speaking of which—

"Jiang Zuoyi, if I ask you to help me find out something, you shouldn't have any difficulties here, right?"

"What do you want to do?"

"It's nothing, it's still the last Tang Dynasty hotel video, I-"

"How many pieces of jewelry have you lost, are you so entangled? You, Shu Lan, aren't so short of money, right? Jiang Zuoyi snorted, but I don't think it should be my delusion - when I mention the Tang Dynasty Hotel, his face is always a little different.

"It's not just about jewelry, either. Jiang Zuoyi, you bought the Tang Dynasty Hotel three years ago and turned him into a club, so you should always know who the previous boss of the Tang Dynasty was, right? Can you find him? ”

I think the only breakthrough in the matter now is to find the witnesses at the time of the incident, who raped me unconscious?

If it's just impromptu hooliganism, I'd be unlucky, but if—

Maybe it's a lot of heart, maybe it's an illusion, but I always feel that the deeper I dig into this matter, the more innocent it becomes.

"In the past, Ling Nan was in charge of the intelligence network and the informant road in the community. If you have anything you need, go straight to him. Of course, the charges are expensive. ”

Jiang Zuoyi only cared about eating his meal, and did not ask me about the details and secrets. I don't think it's strange, because if I really go to Ling Nan and ask something, wouldn't that be equivalent to indirectly telling Jiang Zuoyi?

I said okay, I'll talk to Mr. Ling when I'm done.

"Although, I always feel that this person is so terrible......" I muttered quietly, smoothing off the carrots on the plate with milk tea.

"If you've eaten his food, you wouldn't say that. Ah Xue is the opposite of him, grinning like a boy......" Jiang Zuoyi said.

Startled, I involuntarily leaned a few inches closer to the man.

As a result, he unceremoniously pushed me aside: "What do you mean by the piety of listening to the story?" ”

"Let's eat."

Then I saw Jiang Zuoyi push his leftover bento in front of me!

"Ah Xue and Ah Nan are distant relatives of a laundry worker in the Jiang family. After the unexpected death of their parents, the two had no relatives, so they came to join their aunt and have been doing odd jobs in the Jiang family.

When he became an adult, Ling Nan followed me into the club, and we studied together for Ah Xue.

And Sister-in-law Ling has been in poor health since Ah Xue left, and she passed away the year before last. ”

"Ah......" I sighed softly: "That Ling Nan's leg was crippled when he fought the world with you?" ”

I'm starting to make up for it again, the kind of brothers who are common in the movie Crazy Boy are more dependent on each other than the sky.......

"It's not." Jiang Zuo glanced at me with disdain: "When he came to Jiang's house, he had one less leg." What's more, people who are mixed up don't necessarily have to carry guns and knives.

Ling Nan had an IQ of 162, and later settled down, and he took the PhD in psychology in two years. ”

I said I understood, he is your think tank, and he came up with all the bad ideas.

"No, I came up with the idea, and he's in charge of perfecting the plan and dealing with the aftermath."

I think Jiang Zuoyi still looked so proud when he said this, what a good thing!

"Then ...... Ah Xue is because of the enemy, or is it ......" I think this is how it is played in TV series, so I dared to ask Jiang Zuoyi: "You have already taken revenge, right?" ”

"Not yet."

"Huh?"

"No enemies, just accidents." Jiang Zuoyi snorted and kicked the cat raised in the convenience store under the table. This cat is a relative, but it doesn't touch me, and only drills under Jiang Zuoyi's legs.

"Accidents......" I said I understand, accidents are often more difficult to accept. can't leave a word, just like my mother used to be-

I went out and said I had my hair done, and then took me to the company to wait for my dad to eat barbecue after work.

A big truck with no eyes completely ruined my life.

"But Ah Xue left a message." Jiang Zuoyi held his chin with one hand, his gaze through the glass, far and long: "She is she will never forgive me." ”

"You can't have done anything to be sorry for her, are you?" I was full of excitement, and vaguely, I felt that the reason why Jiang Zuoyi had forgotten the old man for so long must be because there was an indescribable nodule in his heart.

It's like me and Ye Jinliang, if it's just simple betrayal and betrayal, where are there so many entanglements?

"There was just a fight, and she ran out. I was hit by a car like your mother. Jiang Zuoyi picked up the milk tea cup and took a sip, as if he felt a little cold. So pour it into my cup!

I think it's one of his crazy quirks - the rest of the stuff likes to be poured into someone else's wishful thinking!

"Ah Xue said that she grew my long hair, put on makeup for me, and wore skirts for me, and for a man like me, she would rather be a well-behaved little woman.

It's a pity that the last thing she left me with was a bloody face that was knocked out......

Do you know where Ling Nan fired the first shot at me? Jiang Zuoyi suddenly grabbed my hand and pressed it on his left chest, which was only a few centimeters away from his heart!

I've seen that scar, and when I helped him heal it before, I was still sighing-

If he deviates a little more, he will hang, so for a person with such a big life, this small injury on his waist should not be a big deal. That's how I comforted myself at the time......

"Since it was an accident......," I said, my fingers running a few inches along the fabric of his shirt on his chest, and I said that the unexpected came on God's benees, and no one was to blame.

"Ling Nan has almost beaten you into a hornet's nest, you can forgive yourself."

"Ah Xue is too strong, I put her in the reins of the horse, but I didn't lead her to the promised grassland." Jiang Zuoyi let go of my hand, slightly pursed his lips and smiled: "What kind of surprised expression are you?" Looking at her photos, you can't tell that she is as hard as a boulder, right? ”

As soon as I heard this, my hands shook and I almost knocked the milk tea button to the ground.

"You...... How do you know! "Who told Jiang Zuoyi about my return to the dessert shop?

"Nonsense, if I hadn't bought that store, do you think it would still be able to maintain the old business philosophy for so many years under the attack of so many foreign brands?" Jiang Zuoyi sneered, but I felt that my self-esteem was suffocated as if I was being pinched and rubbed in his hands.

"You're rich, you're covering the sky with one hand, but isn't it fun to do this......" I looked at the meal in front of me: "Don't say that this convenience store is also yours." Oh? No wonder this cat is so close to you. ”

Pay back the money, two bento boxes and two cups of milk tea, a total of sixty-three yuan! ”

Jiang Zuoyi kicked the grass cat away again: "It circles around me because my pants are full of fish soup you poured!" ”

I was stunned for three seconds, and then suddenly I covered my mouth and couldn't stop laughing.

I saw Jiang Zuoyi also laughing, laughing so angrily.

His angular face was reflected in the windowpane, and I really hoped that this stress-free smile would freeze in the relative stillness of the bustle at the end of the hustle and bustle.

Although I know, it's like a double sense of distance in the mirror. I thought that the distance I had to reach this man's heart seemed to be within reach-

In fact, it's like a mirage......

And I can't even be sure that I'm going to hold this mirage.

The car parked outside the door lit up a few times, and I knew it was Andy who had come to pick him up.

"Today, thank you for sending me ......" I looked at the thermos pot in my hand, and said I'll take this back, and make a special soup for you and Xiao Ling to try in a few days.

*****

"Sister-in-law Lin?" When I opened the door with the key and entered the house, I found that the light in the living room was still on. It's almost ten o'clock, and usually at this time, Sister-in-law Lin has gone to bed early.

Knocking lightly on her door, I pushed open the gap that was hidden—

"Sister-in-law Lin, you want to ...... Where are you going? ”

I saw that Sister-in-law Lin was packing her luggage, and there were already two packages on the floor!

"Madam, how is the leaf?" Sister-in-law Lin's eyes seemed to be a little red, and her voice was a little choked when she opened her mouth to ask.

My heart sank, and I quickly went over and pressed her arms and helped her to sit on the bed.

Damn, I shouldn't have told her this morning.

Speaking of more than a week ago, Sister-in-law Lin was admitted to the hospital because she was given a small half bottle of sleeping pills by 'Yezi'. Although there is no big problem in sending the doctor in time, but a handful of people who are old will always lose their vitality.

These days, I let her recuperate at home, and I didn't tell her what happened. It wasn't until this morning, when she asked again, that I gave a general overview of Yezi's condition. She has no culture and can't understand the so-called dual personality, so I can only explain it with a similar mental illness.

At that time, Sister-in-law Lin cried very uncomfortably, and I also shed a lot of tears. Later, we comforted each other for a while, and I was in a hurry to go to the company for a meeting, who would have thought that Sister-in-law Lin would have the idea of leaving!

"It's because I didn't take good care of Ye Zi that she got such a sinful disease." Sister-in-law Lin blamed herself again and again, crying movingly.

I said Sister-in-law Lin, you can't think so, it is our responsibility as parents for our children to get such a disease, for so many years, you have done your best in our family, and there has never been a little mess. How can you take all the responsibility on yourself?

"Besides, you're leaving? Where are you going, you don't have any relatives, just stay with me, I'll give you a pension and send you to the end of your life, okay? "I hugged Sister-in-law Lin, like a fragile little girl, and plunged into my mother's arms.

"Arashiran......"

Sister-in-law Lin gently stroked my hair, and her voice was choked and choked: "Sister-in-law Lin is also tired and wants to rest."

I want to go back to my hometown, my cousin and his family are still there, and the old house in the village is not deserted. They called me several times and said they hadn't seen me in decades and that they wouldn't see each other again...... In the next life, I will not be able to remember my ancestors' own faces.

Lan Lan, the only thing I can do is not worry about you and Yezi. But Sister-in-law Lin ...... I can't be with you for the rest of my life. ”

I know that Sister-in-law Lin is an orphan, and I used to hear her babble and talk about it intermittently, saying that she came out to flee during the famine in her hometown, and except for a cousin, she had no relatives.

When she came to my house to work as a nanny, she was only twenty-three years old, almost thirty years old.

Sister-in-law Lin ......, "I still can't bear her, I said that you are like my family, not a servant at all, a subordinate." Is it okay for me to buy a house for you to retire for? I'll find a nanny for Ye Zi again, and I'll tell the outside world that you are Ye Zi's grandmother. You enjoy the blessings, don't you go?

"Lan Lan, Sister-in-law Lin is only in her fifties this year." Sister-in-law Lin stroked my bangs and smiled bitterly: "You can also have your own life." You said no? ”

I snorted softly and smiled awkwardly: "yes, I was selfish......"

Sister-in-law Lin wiped her eyes with the back of her hand, piled up her fat body, and took out a ticket from Xiaobu's wallet: "Tomorrow morning's train, Lan Lan, don't send me."

When I get home, my cousin's son will come to pick me up, and I'll call you when I get home. ”

Looking at the hard-seat ticket of the green car, my nose was sour again: "Sister-in-law Lin, I ......"

"What are you crying about? It's not that we won't see you again. I'll come back to see you and see the leaves in the future. Oh yes—" She pulled out a stack of clothes from the bedside cabinet, "This is what the leaves wore before, there are a few of them, hehe, they are still from your childhood."

When I've been fine for the past two days, I've been picking things up, do you still remember this little yellow duck? You loved this dress when you were a child, you have to wear it every day, and you won't be allowed to wash it. Later, my wife couldn't help it, so she asked me to make several of them—"

"Sister-in-law Lin, don't say it......" I turned around and kept pumping out tissues. Finally, I hugged her shoulders and I ran back to my room!

Going?

Everyone has their own lives, and I finally have to face it alone.

Lying on the table and crying for a while, I opened my notebook and transferred 50,000 yuan to Sister-in-law Lin's salary card with online banking.

That's the maximum amount of money you can transfer in a day, and I don't really know what else I can do for her other than a little bit of copper stink.

"Lan Lan." At this time, Sister-in-law Lin came and knocked on my door. I thought she was trying to persuade me not to cry, so I quickly sat up straight and cleaned my face.

"Huh? Go to bed early, I'll see you off tomorrow morning. I said to her with a fake smile.

"Lan Lan, Ye Zi ......" Sister-in-law Lin hesitated, her eyes a little dodgy.

"Ye Zi is fine, the onset is not so frequent these days, and the doctor said that after the expert consultation, she may be discharged from the hospital and come back for a while." I said don't worry, I'll take care of the leaves anyway.

"There's an expert?" Sister-in-law Lin pursed her lips and seemed to be relieved: "Yezi's head is okay, right?" Did you make a film? ”

"Huh?" I was a little puzzled, but when I heard what Sister-in-law Lin meant, I thought it was reasonable.

After all, she doesn't understand such professional etiology and terminology, so she probably thinks that mental problems must be brain trauma, right?

"All the tests that should be done have been done, and the cause has not been found. So wait a few days for a team of experts to come and consult. "I said Sister-in-law Lin, don't worry, Ye Zi's disease is mainly psychological.

Although Director Wang and Li Dongye also suspected whether Ye Zi had suffered any external injuries, none of the current examination results had a particularly obvious cause.

"To double-check the check, isn't it...... There is a ...... in her head" Sister-in-law Lin's eyes were quite anxious, and her speech became not very sharp due to nervousness.

"Something in your head?" I feel very inexplicable.

If there was a tumor or polyp in the head, it would have been seen a long time ago.

Walking over, I patted Sister-in-law Lin's shoulder: "Rest early, don't worry about the leaves." ”

***

"Aren't you going to have a trade show tomorrow? Are you still free to accompany me out to pick out a wedding dress? Li Dongye stood in front of the mirror and said to me while pulling his hair.

I said that work is work, and the more the war is coming, the more you have to relax. There was Ye Jinliang and his right-hand man Shu Yan at the venue, hehe, isn't it an eyesore for me to go?

In fact, I have my own calculations, and the more times like this, the less I appear, and the less suspicious I am.

The first roadshow pre-sale of Riverview City will break 200 million. To be honest, it's a fantasy. If you don't use some means......

"Lan Lan, just talk about it, I think you just didn't let go of Ye Jinliang at all - alas, light, I've gained weight recently." Li Dongye turned around and said to the salesman who was helping her pull the belt.

I sneered while playing with my phone: "Why should I let go of Ye Jinliang?" I haven't denied that I love him......"

"But seriously, Lan Lan, the truth of the matter is even more out of control than we analyzed at the beginning. Since it wasn't you who was raped by Liu Jian, this matter would be complicated-" Li Dongye straightened his waist and tucked his abdomen, and complained that he had lost weight late while twisting his bitter gourd face.

I said let's get busy with the things in front of us first, one step at a time.

"Oh yes, Director Wang said that the expert who will come next Wednesday is going to do something? Have you heard of it? ”

"Well, it is said that he is a new authoritative scholar in the field of neurosurgery in recent years, he is not very old, and he is quite handsome. But don't think about it, married. ”

"Oh? What's the name, I'll look it up on the Internet. ”

Li Dongye shook his head and said he didn't know.

I'm going to go!

Handsome, do you know if you're married! You don't know what it's called! Li Dongye, you are about to marry a woman, is it okay to be such a nymphomaniac?

At this time, Li Dongye turned to look at me: "How is it?" Is this okay? ”

I'm not born with a poisonous tongue, but I've been messing around with winter nights for a long time, and nice words don't help. So after looking up and down, he said solemnly: "I think the tail is too small, you are tall, and your aura is not up." ”

Li Dongye nodded and pecked at the rice, saying that she also felt a little.

So, she looked at the high-end custom five-meter tail main wedding dress hanging on the wall with regret. While groping with his heart: "I still like this one!" It's a pity that I can't wear it!"

"Yes, you are told to work overtime and eat supper." I laughed maliciously.

"No, there is still a week, I must lose ten pounds!" Li Dongye was Top Gun, and then pulled me over: "Lan Lan, you try it." ”

I said you're nervous, I can wear it and I can't wear it for you at the wedding!

"Oh, if you put it on and let me see the effect, you are three centimeters shorter than me and more than ten pounds thinner than me.

If you wear it and look good, stimulate me, maybe I'll cut off these ten catties of flesh with a bloody investment! ”

In this way, under Li Dongye's soft grinding and hard bubbles, I wore the second wedding dress in my life!

Before I could fix the hem and stink in front of the mirror, there was a bang - the glass door of the bridal store was slammed open!
