Come, rise, pervade. "How?" He asked. A wave of anger rushed from her chest to her head. Oh, the most infatuated person in the world! A governess! A governess! It turns out that the infatuated face is all dressed up! "It's not the first time we've talked about divorce!" She said coldly, "Don't you know my conditions? He groaned. Do you mean the factory? "Yes." "You know, the factory and the tea plantation are inseparable," he said with difficulty, "can you mention other conditions?" For example, cash, a house, or a part of a tea plantation? ”

"Nope." He gritted his teeth, smoke enveloped him, and he was clearly faced with a huge choice. Then, suddenly, he shook his head vigorously and said in a resolute, desperate tone: "All right! I'll give it to you! Erin was taken aback, she looked at Bai Peiwen in distrust, barely believing what she was hearing. The factory, that is his ancestral property, the focus of his career, she deeply understands the weight of this factory in his heart, not only material, but also spiritual, this factory has his blood, his sweat. And now, he is determined to abandon this factory? For that Fang Siying? Can the power of love be so great? It's simply incredible! A layer of jealousy, bitter emotion seized her, and her voice was cold: "For the sake of that governess, you don't hesitate to give up the factory? Is she so important to you? "Truth be told, she's more important than a hundred factories."

"Oh?" Bai Peiwen's confession stimulated her even more, what did this woman do? How is it possible to subdue a man's heart to this point? She's jealous of her! She hates her! "After divorcing me, are you going to marry her?"

He pondered for a moment, and a very strange look rose up to his face, which was shrouded in a dreamlike light, his expression was gentle, and a delicate, soft smile appeared at the corners of his mouth.

"Yes." He whispered. This expression, this complexion, this feeling that she longed for but couldn't get! She clutched the cup, the milk swaying in it, her breathing was rapid, her mind was dizzy, her blood was racing. "Well, then, let's settle it like this," said Perrien, "in short, we have been husband and wife for six or seven years, and I hope to get together and disperse." I'm going to Taipei today to find my lawyer, and I want to get this done as soon as possible. About the factory," he sighed heartbrokenly: "I will call Lao Zhang, you can ask him to show you the account book." If you don't have any other opinions, I'll do it! ”

"Wait!" She burst out of her mouth. "You can't wait for a divorce!" "How?" Bai Peiwen frowned.

"I didn't agree!" "Erin!" Bai Peiwen shouted in surprise. "What do you mean?"

"I mean: I don't agree to a divorce!" She stared at him, word by word. "But I've promised to give you the factory!" Bai Peiwen said eagerly. "The whole factory, you can ask for it at any time, receive it at any time!"

"I've changed my mind!" Erin put the milk cup on the table and said, "I don't want your factory, and I don't want a divorce!" You want to marry that woman like that, you can't! "Why are you?" Bai Peiwen's body leaned forward, his face pale with anxiety, his eyebrows locked, and his voice was urgent and impatient: "Tell me the truth! What more could you want? You say! As long as I have it, you can take it! Don't embarrass me! Erin! I tell you, I must divorce you, I love that woman, I will sacrifice everything, I will have her! Did you understand? Anyway, you don't love me, you have a boyfriend, you just let it go! You'll get an endless amount of money, you don't have anything to lose, why wouldn't you? Erin, you can count yourself as a good deed! "He's just pleading! When have you ever seen him whisper so low? Eileen's heart tightened. "Anyway, you don't love me, you have a boyfriend ......! You have nothing to lose! "Oh, Bai Peiwen, Bai Peiwen, you blind man! Blind! Blind! She glared at him quickly, at him with a fiery glare. Her voice was sharp and high-pitched: "No! I don't get divorced! Say whatever you want, I'm not divorced! I don't want your stuff, your property, I just don't want a divorce! ”

"You're against me!" Perrivian stood up and walked all the way to Erin. "Why do you bother? Eileen? Cause me pain, and you will gain nothing! What is your purpose? "I hate that woman!" Erin roared, "She's going to seduce you, isn't she?" Since she will take someone else's husband, I also have a way to deal with her, I am the mistress of this house, am I? Not only do I not want to divorce you, I want her to go! I want her to leave the Kashiwa House! "Eileen!" The green tendons on Bai Peiwen's forehead protruded, and he gasped and said, "I recognize you!" Erin, you're worse, more vicious, more cruel than I thought! You're a cold-blooded animal! You have no enthusiasm, no warmth! You would rather do things that harm others and yourself, but you will not fulfill a pair of lovers in suffering! Yes, I recognize you! But you can't stop me! I'm telling you, I'm fighting for my life this time! You can't stop it, I want to get her, no matter how it is, I'm going to get her! ”

Erin looked at him with wide eyes, she was so shocked, so excited, so unbelievable! She had never seen Bai Peiwen so excited and so resolute! His words stabbed her, stung her, and she murmured:

"Oh! She really defeated the ghost! "Ghosts?" Bai Peiwen said sharply: "Don't mention the word ghost again!" ”

"You don't even want to mention it!" Erin nodded: "She even encroached on the place where she was smoking." "She can't encroach on the smoking position," Mr. Bai said, firm and calm. Because she's smoking! "You're crazy." Eileen scoffed.

"I'm not crazy, this secret can't be kept anymore, let's be honest with you, she's just smoking! She didn't drown ten years ago, but went to the United States, and now, she's back! Do you understand? She didn't encroach on your place, you encroached on her! ”

"I don't believe it!" Eileen gasped and shook her head violently. "I don't believe a word! This is a lie! Big lie! It's a story you made up, you want to smoke and want to go crazy, so you can make up such a ridiculous story! I don't believe a word! "It's true!" "Every word is true! That's why she would love Tingting like that, so she would be willing to be Tingting's tutor! She deceived everyone, and she deceived me, until three days ago, when I called Gao Lide by telegram, and I debunked her! Now, do you get the idea? Do you understand why I love her so much, and I want her so madly? Because she's my wife! I've waited ten years, I've been looking forward to ten years, I can't afford to lose her again! I can't! ”

"Oh my! Oh my! Eileen whispered, and involuntarily stepped back to the couch, and she fell into it weakly. Covering her face with her hands, she began to believe in the truth of the matter, her mind was confused, her consciousness was confused, and her feelings were in a complete coma. This incident hit her, hit her hard. "Do you understand? Eileen? "Bai Peiwen is closing in on her again." I'm sorry for you, very, very sorry, I shouldn't have married you in the first place. Now, can you sympathize with our situation? Know how we feel? If you would divorce, I would be grateful to you, very, very grateful to you. Irene, I'll compensate you for your loss, I will! ”

You can't make up for it! How do you compensate? Erin thought to herself. Tears welled up in her eyes. A lot of doubts are now chained. Oh, that governess is Tingting's biological mother! No wonder she covered the child with her wings like a hen protecting her chicks! Oh my! How could there be such a thing? How? "I don't believe it," she groaned, "and I still don't believe it." ”

"Look at this." Bai Peiwen took out a golden chicken heart from his pocket. "Open the chicken heart and look at the pictures inside!"

Eileen took the chicken heart, opened it, and the little group photo appeared in front of her, she looked at the girl, with bright teeth and bright eyes, long hair hanging down her shoulders. She snapped and closed the heart. Yes, she hasn't changed much, she's still beautiful, she's still beautiful! She handed it back and murmured:

"Yes, it's her! The ghost! The ghost! She came in the night mist and plundered everything from others! Bai Peiwen didn't quite understand Erin's words, but he didn't have the heart to understand her words. Retracting his heart, he said urgently, earnestly, almost pleadingly, in a tone that was almost pleading, "You understand, right? Eileen? You know why I'm so crazy, so crazy, right? Promise me, if you cancel our marriage, you will be a broken family! Promise, Irene! For me, for the smoke, for the pavilion, and for you. Irene sat there stupidly, with the urge to cry and laugh. What a ridiculous and complicated story! Your husband's ex-wife, who has long since died, will suddenly appear and come to you to claim her place! And now, what will happen to her? What to do? Exit your place and give way to that ghost? Oh! She glared at Bai Peiwen, who still kept saying:

"Okay? Eileen? As for my property, as long as I can do it, it doesn't matter how much you want, I can give it to you! Even if you do me a favor, okay? Eileen? "Okay? Eileen? All right? Eileen? How gentle he is at this moment! All the possessions, you can as much as you want! Just give me back my freedom! She suddenly got up from the couch, walked to the window, and said in a loud voice:

"I don't know! I had to think about it! Go away! Let me think about it, I can't answer you right now! ”

"Erin!" "Give me a few days, I can't make a decision right now! I'm going to talk to that woman! That ghost! "Erin," Perrien's expression was nervous. Please don't hurt her, please don't irritate her, she's already suffered too much she shouldn't have suffered! ”

Erin turned around and looked directly at Bai Peiwen, her gaze was strange and strange, and her voice was deep and deep: "Tell me, how much do you really love her?" How deep? ”

Bai Peiwen pondered for a while, and then, he read a few sentences softly, which was in Hanyan's favorite song that day:

"The sea is dry and the stone can be rotten, and the love is unswerving,

The sun and the moon have profits and losses, and I am very affectionate! Erin looked out the window, looking over the hillside, over the tea plantation, and she seemed to see the Smoky Hills, the ruins, was that really a ruin? Tears slowly slid down her cheeks, slowly, slowly, dripping down the lattice.

CHAPTER XXVIII

The weather is changeable, the morning is still sunny and good, but in the afternoon there is a drizzle, the sky darkens, and the autumn suddenly thickens. When she got out of school, Fang Siying already felt the cool autumn mood, and when she walked out of the school gate, a gust of wind came to her face, so cold, she couldn't help but shiver. Looking up at the sky, the clouds were low and heavy, and an unknown tree at the school gate was scattered with fallen leaves. Thin rains fell on her face, bringing an indescribable feeling of depression. "Oh, Lao You drove to pick us up." Tingting said.

Really, Lao You's car was parked on the side of the road, he stood there, opened the car door respectfully, and said with a smile: "It's raining, Mr. wants me to pick you up." ”

Fang Siying looked up at the sky again, the rain was so thin, so soft, so light. Like smoke, like fog, like a foggy net. She took a deep breath and inhaled the thick autumn mood. Then, she said to Lao You:

"You take Tingting back, I want to take a walk in the fields."

"You don't have a raincoat, miss." Lao You said.

"No need for a raincoat, the rain is very light, you can go!"

"Come back soon! Teacher, you will get sick in the rain. Tingting said with an innocent little face. It's okay, go for it! She rubbed Tingting's hair and pushed her into the car. The car drove away. Along the dirt road, Fang Silk walked slowly forward. The rain was so soft, gently covering her. She moved forward slowly, as if walking in a dream, the compassionate wind, the misty rain, the smell of the earth, and the pine waves and bamboo sounds, drew her to another realm, another unknown, hazy and chaotic realm. She was intoxicated, intoxicated, and just like that, she walked all the way to the ruins of Smoky Hills. Pushing open the iron door, she stepped in, gently wandering among the pile of rubble. The abandoned garden under the rain and fog looks even more desolate and desolate. The wind shuttled unscrupulously through the collapsed doors and windows, the vines hung on the brick walls, dripping water quietly, the air roots of the old banyan tree shivered in the cold wind, and the long strips of the willow trees were full of water droplets, shiny, and each drop of water reflected a smoky mountain villa - the ruins of the broken walls, the dead vines and old trees. She sighed. How much tenderness, how much honey, how much ancient past. All lost in this pile of ruins. Who else can unearth? Who else can find it? Those buried stories and feelings? What about her dream? Like this ruins, like this rain and fog, the general depression, the general fog, she was afraid that she would never be able to put together the fragments of those dreams again. Sitting down on a pile of broken bricks, she fell into a deep meditation, one drizzling rain and the other cold wind. She sat for an unknown amount of time, and then, she was startled by a call. "Smoke!"

She looked up and saw Bai Peiwen standing at the door of Smoky Hills, with a face full of anxiety and haste. His slender shadow bathed in the rain and mist at dusk, with a special loneliness and desolation.

"Smoke, are you there? Smoking? Bai Peiwen walked in, on crutches, his steps staggering slightly. He wore a dark blue raincoat and a trench coat in the crook of his arm. Fang Siying stood up from the broken wall, she couldn't bear to watch his futile search. Walking up to him, she said, "Yes, I'm here." A radiance of ecstasy lit up his face, and he reached out to touch her, letting out a long breath. Oh, I thought ...... I thought ......," he muttered.

"Think I'm gone?" She asked, looking at him, what a deep affection was engraved on that face! With what an obsessive obsession! Oh! How difficult it is to leave this man! Does she really do? Take away the last ray of light in his dark world? "Oh, yes," he hastily smiled, a little shy. "I'm a frightened bird, with smoke." He stroked her hair, then her cold hands. "You're wet, you're cold! How capricious! He helped her put on a trench coat and tightened the placket of her chest. Lao You said that you refused to get in the car, and left alone in the rain, I was really scared. Oh, don't tease me, if you scare me a few more times, I'll die. ”

"I just want to take a walk." She whispered, laboriously looking away from his face and looking at the rain and mist
