Chapter 171: Just a stand-in
Cao Ling sank in the darkness of the corner, quietly looking at the men and women hugging each other in front of him, the desperate tears on Mu Xiaobei's face made his heart hurt involuntarily.
He took a sip from his glass, and as the spicy liquid slid down his throat, he felt a burning sensation of pleasure, and in this thrilling sense, his mind drifted slowly back to five years ago.
At that time, Mu Xiaobei was young, bright, coquettish, pure, and beautiful like a fairy. And they are all young men, and their eyes stick to her like bees like pollen.
Zhou Yan is like this, Jiang Wei is like this, and he is no exception.
It's just that in Mu Xiaobei's eyes, there was only one Zhou Yan from beginning to end, and how many things he and Jiang Wei did to attract her attention still had no effect at all.
However, Cao Ling's liking for Mu Xiaobei is still different from Jiang Wei.
After knowing that Mu Xiaobei didn't have him in his heart, Cao Ling decisively let go, standing next to him as a good friend, watching her and Zhou Yan's sweet affection. Although sometimes it is inevitable that he will have a little taste in his heart, he is still sincerely happy to see her happy.
But Jiang Wei is different.
How many times has Cao Ling seen Jiang Wei standing in the dark, and when he saw Zhou Yan and Mu Xiaobei together, the distorted and jealous expression on his face. It's just that he can understand Jiang Wei's mood, Jiang Wei didn't do anything out of the ordinary, and he has the right to turn a blind eye. But I didn't expect that Jiang Wei had not believed that Mu Xiaobei was dead for so many years, and he had been looking for it!
What's even more unbelievable is that he actually found her and brought her to everyone in such a sudden way.
Today, Jiang Wei obviously invited Ye Baiwei and Zhou Yan to come together, presumably Ye Baiwei also knew that Jiang Wei was deeply hostile to her, so she didn't come. But if Ye Baiwei came and saw Mu Xiaobei at first glance, the three of them would be so embarrassed!
Thinking of Ye Baiwei, Cao Ling's heart suddenly surged with an unspeakable emotion.
When he first knew that Zhou Yan actually had a woman, he was shocked in his heart, after all, the relationship between Zhou Yan and Mu Xiaobei, no one could see it more clearly than him and Jiang Wei, and even if he didn't bring his supervisor's emotions, he might see it more clearly. For five years, Zhou Yan has always been alone, but suddenly it was rumored that he had a woman, which is a strange thing in itself.
Cao Ling didn't think that Zhou Yan had forgotten Mu Xiaobei, and this idea was even more certain when he saw Ye Baiwei. Sure enough, in Zhou Yan's heart, there was only one Mu Xiaobei from beginning to end, and this woman was just a stand-in who didn't know where to find it. If it weren't for her face, Zhou Yan would have found her? No kidding!
Moreover, I don't know why, Cao Ling has an inexplicable sense of rejection for Ye Baiwei in his heart, and this feeling is not even clear to him. He felt that if Ye Baiwei didn't have a face that belonged to Mu Xiaobei, Zhou Yan wanted her, he wouldn't be so awkward, but she just had such a face......
This made Cao Ling feel uncomfortable, and he always wanted to find something to vent.
That's why he made a fuss like that in Ye Baiwei's shop.
But he also knew in his heart that everything he did was just because Ye Baiwei had a face exactly the same as Mu Xiaobei, and he was also with Zhou Yan.
Mu Xiaobei chose Zhou Yan without hesitation, and this woman, this woman who didn't know anything, became Zhou Yan's woman in a daze!
This is the most unfair place in his heart.
But gradually, with several contacts with Ye Baiwei, he became more and more aware of this woman's innocence. Especially now, seeing Mu Xiaobei leaning on Zhou Yan's arms as a matter of course, Cao Ling suddenly felt a little unbearable.
That woman, the woman who didn't know anything, put a heart on Zhou Yan's body stupidly. But how did she know that in this world, she can fall in love with anyone, but she can't fall in love with Zhou Yan. Zhou Yan's feelings for Mu Xiaobei are too deep, how can she win it?
Is...... Stupid!
He looked at Zhou Yan and Mu Xiaobei with a complicated expression. At this moment, he suddenly felt that if Mu Xiaobei didn't come back, there would be no such things......
He looked at it indifferently, but Jiang Wei couldn't sit still. Hearing Zhou Yan say this to Mu Xiaobei, the meaning is already obvious, Zhou Yan now has a wife, even if the relationship with Mu Xiaobei is so deep, it is impossible now.
Jiang Wei's heart finally surged with a burst of happiness that the conspiracy had succeeded, but in this pleasure, there was also anger that could not be ignored. Back then, he loved Xiaobei so humblely, but she still chose Zhou Yan! If she could have a perfect connection with Zhou Yan, Jiang Wei could only bless them, but she didn't expect Zhou Yan to be so ruthless to Mu Xiaobei!
Five years of relationship, he just said don't want it! So is Mu Xiaobei's love worth it back then? Is it worth it for him to be rejected?!
"Zhou Yan, you see clearly! This is Xiaobei! Jiang Wei had a gloomy face and pointed to Mu Xiaobei, who was crying on the side, "How have you lived in the past five years, do you still need to tell me?" Do you need me to say how much you want her to come back? When she was unconscious in the United States and her life and death were unknown, you married another woman! When she is struggling with rehabilitation alone, you are holding another woman in your arms! Now that she's finally back, do you think she's late? Zhou Yan, you're still not human! ”
Listening to Jiang Wei's sharp accusation, Mu Xiaobei cried even more sadly and desperately, and fell on the sofa.
Zhou Yan's face moved, he seemed to be reluctant to close his eyes, looked at Mu Xiaobei, and said, "Weiwei is my wife, I can't bear her." ”
Only then did Mu Xiaobei know that when she was not by Zhou Yan's side, a woman named "Weiwei" accompanied her. She couldn't accuse the woman of taking her place, after all, she had left him in the name of death, and no matter how deep her love was, she couldn't ask him not to marry her for life. But, she loved him! Now that he has another woman by his side, what about her? What was she going to do? Did she become, superfluous?
And she only now knows that he actually married someone else! She always thought that he was just in a relationship with another woman, but she didn't expect that he was already married!
Thinking that the man she loves has married someone else, but she doesn't know anything. When she returns to him, she will already be a person, and she will no longer be the heroine. Mu Xiaobei's liver and intestines were broken, and he almost broke his intestines when he cried.
She looked at Zhou Yan earnestly, her eyes full of tears, "Ah Yan, you...... Don't you want me anymore? ”
Zhou Yan looked at her heartbroken, and suddenly remembered a long time ago, as if it was his previous life. At that time, Mu Xiaobei didn't know how to cook, didn't know any housework, and was the eldest lady who didn't touch the spring water with her fingers. Zhou Yan learned to cook, also for her. At that time, she lay in his arms and asked in a coquettish voice, "Ah Yan, I don't know how to do anything, I'm too lazy to do it, will you not want me anymore?" ”
In fact, she just has a little girl's little temperament, and she is not lazy at all, but she asks like this. Zhou Yan looked at her smiling and not worried at all, kissed her cheek fiercely, and promised, "Don't worry, even if you are lazy and a little pig all the time, I won't want you!" ”
But just when she woke up, she was still like that, nothing had happened, but Zhou Yan had already abandoned her and turned around to marry someone else.
Zhou Yan closed his eyes in pain, hurting Mu Xiaobei was the last thing he wanted to do, and he never thought that one day, he would hurt the woman he once loved in this way.
But he knew that when he was constantly in turmoil, his mother had solemnly told him to be clear about who her woman was, and he knew very well who he wanted. Wei Wei had already broken her heart once because of Mu Xiaobei's incident, how could he hurt her again?
For Mu Xiaobei, he was still reluctant and still heartbroken, but he knew that it was just tearing apart the scars of the past, and it was inevitable that the pain would bleed. After the pain, it was fine.
He only hoped that after Mu Xiaobei's pain, he would also recover.
The end of this love was too tragic, and he didn't want her to be hurt too much, but in the end, it was he who hurt her the most.
Zhou Yan sighed and was about to speak, but Jiang Wei's sharp voice suddenly sounded, "Xiaobei, don't be sad, he doesn't want you, he loves you so much, how can he not want you?" You don't know yet, the woman Zhou Yan married has a face exactly like you! He thought you were dead all these years, and we all saw how painful it was, and there was never another woman around him, just for you! Not long ago, he met a woman who looked exactly like you, so he married her! In Zhou Yan's heart, that woman is just your stand-in! ”
Hearing this, Mu Xiaobei suddenly raised his head and looked at Zhou Yan in shock, and even forgot to cry. She hurriedly asked, "Ah Yan, is it true?" Avi didn't lie to me, did he, is the woman he married really exactly the same as me? ”
Zhou Yan sank, glared at Jiang Wei warningly, and then looked at Mu Xiaobei and said, "Yes, she looks very similar to you, but Xiaobei, I love her, I ......"
"I don't listen, I don't listen!" Mu Xiaobei suddenly burst into a big smile, there were tears in his eyes, but the smile was beautiful and thrilling, "Don't I know you yet?" You are too responsible, if it weren't for me, how could you marry a woman who is exactly like me? You must be because she's your wife now and can't abandon her, right? Ah Yan, as long as you love me! I don't care about anything else, as long as you love me! ”
