Chapter 274: Alone in the Empty House
Duan Hanting leaned back on the seat, watching Rong Yin's figure in the rearview mirror getting smaller and smaller, and the color of his eyes deepened inch by inch.
He took out a three-gun emplacement from the cigarette case, lit it in his mouth, and the mist erupted from his nose, and the rising white smoke hid the emotions in his eyes, and the glory disappeared from sight.
Seeing that her younger brother started smoking, Duan Shulan knew that he was upset, she sighed slightly, and said insincerely, "Don't blame her, she is also thinking about your future." ”
Duan Hanting snorted the cigarette butt, rested it outside the window and tapped the cigarette ash, "I know, I made her worry about it." ”
His tone full of understanding made Duan Shulan choke for a moment.
She snorted, "You really take everything on yourself, just spoil her like this?" How did I find out before that my brother was actually a lover? ”
Duan Hanting's expression was calm, as if he hadn't heard his sister's yin and yang weird mockery.
After being silent for a moment, Duan Shulan still couldn't help but say, "In the afternoon, she came over and told me that she couldn't let me live with you anymore, otherwise it would affect you." You're my brother, and of course I don't want to drag you down, so even though I knew she was just looking for an excuse to get rid of me, I didn't mess with her. But you have to have a number in your heart, and she is used to being a good person for you. ”
"The eldest sister misunderstood."
Duan Shulan's eyes widened, "What did I misunderstand?" ”
Duan Hanting said lightly: "Yinyin has never disdained to be a good person, and I don't like her because she is kind-hearted." ”
Duan Shulan: "......"
Duan Hanting looked at the night sinking outside the window, and his thin lips hooked up an arc without a smile, "She sent you to your mother to protect you, and of course to protect me." If she really wanted to kick you out, she wouldn't have taken you in at the beginning, let alone sent you to your mother's place, and sent you directly to the hotel or Duan Mansion, wouldn't it be more convenient? ”
Duan Shulan made a straight face, "You don't have to say nice things for her, she doesn't like me, I know." ”
"She doesn't like you very much, don't you like her too?"
Duan Hanting turned his head, his voice was light, "She saved you and kept you, it was all for me, this was her previous relationship with me, and it was right not to keep you, you are my sister not her sister, she has no obligation to take care of you." It doesn't matter if the eldest sister doesn't accept her affection, and there's no need to be angry with her, just blame me. ”
"......" Duan Shulan was completely speechless, so angry that she didn't want to say a word.
All the way to Zaozhuang's old mansion in silence, Duan Shulan pushed the car door and got out of the car with a cold face, leaving his younger brother behind.
"Miss......" Mother Lu just wanted to say hello with a smile, when she saw Duan Shulan wrapped in a coat and angrily turned into the courtyard, her smile froze on her face, "What's wrong, who messed with her?" ”
Duan Hanting got out of the car and said lightly: "I provoked it." ”
Mother Lu sighed helplessly, "You sisters and brothers too, you were so good when you were a child, you never quarreled, how could you grow up to quarrel all day long, it's really worrying." ”
Duan Hanting carried the Portuguese prepared by Rong Yin. Wine and pickles went inside, and asked, "How is my mother lately, how is she doing?" ”
"Okay, it's delicious."
Mother Lu stretched out her hand to summon the two servants to take the things in Duan Hanting's hand, carried them into the kitchen, and asked, "Why didn't the young lady come with her?" ”
"It's too late, she has to go to work tomorrow, so she didn't let her run."
Duan Hanting explained lightly, and walked straight to his mother's room, but was stopped by Mother Lu halfway, "Madame is resting, let you send someone back if you have nothing to do." ”
"Don't worry, I'll talk to my mother for a while, and it's not too late to stay one night and rush back tomorrow morning."
Duan Hanting was about to go inside as he spoke, but Mother Lu stopped the person with a "hey, hey", and said with a sneer: "Young Master, it's better to go back tonight, otherwise the young lady is at home alone, how scared." “
Her back-and-forth obstruction gave Duan Hanting a hint of foreboding, and he tightened his brows, "What's wrong with Mother?" ”
Mother Lu's face stiffened, and she said, "Madame, it's fine, it's nothing." ”
"Why didn't you stop me?"
Duan Hanting was about to rush in as he spoke, but Mother Lu was still waiting to stop him, and a lazy voice came from the room, "Let him come in." ”
Pushed. At the door, Mrs. Duan had already shrunk herself into the beauty couch wrapped in a thick blanket, looked at her son, and said lazily: "What are you doing, you have to see me at night." ”
Duan Hanting was worried about what was going on with his mother's body, but when he saw that her face was ruddy, not like she was sick, and she was even fatter than before, so she was relieved.
Lu's mother said to pour two cups of tea, and closed the door.
"I haven't said you yet, and you won't tell me when you come back, do you still have my son in your heart?"
Duan Hanting walked towards Mrs. Duan, and his voice was not very good.
Mrs. Duan chuckled, "I'm a free person now, I can go wherever I want, is it possible to report to you anytime and anywhere?" You are my son, not my son. ”
Duan Hanting pulled a chair and sat down, and casually scooped up an apple from the plate to quench his thirst, "If Ah Gong is still here, he won't let you divorce at all, how can you talk about freedom." ”
Speaking of "divorce", the smile on Mrs. Duan's face was closed, "Ayin didn't make it clear on the phone, what the hell is going on?" ”
Duan Hanting took a bite of the apple and said succinctly, "Lin Xiaocheng beat the eldest sister, I beat him, and now the eldest sister is ready to divorce Lin Xiaocheng." ”
Mrs. Duan sank her face, and asked for a long time before she knew how badly her daughter was injured by the surnamed Lin, and she was shocked and angry, "That dog thing, dare to do this to Shu Lan, he has eaten the bear's heart and leopard gall!" ”
She wanted to go to see her daughter, but Duan Hanting stopped, "Don't toss at night, the wounds on the eldest sister's body have almost been cured for her, but fortunately, they are all flesh wounds, and they are easy to raise." ”
Mrs. Duan sat back and wrapped the blanket tightly around her stomach again, Duan Hanting ate the remaining half of the apple and threw it into the trash, not noticing her mother's small movements.
"What about Lin Xiaocheng now?" Mrs. Duan asked hatefully.
Duan Hanting smiled coldly, "My life has made me break half of it, if it weren't for the eldest sister, I didn't want her to be widowed. In the name of the woman, I asked for the animal directly. Born life. ”
"It's good that you didn't beat people to death, otherwise it won't end well on the Lin family's side."
Mrs. Duan stared, looked at her son's cold eyebrows, and suddenly reached out and patted his head, Duan Hanting was peeling an orange, almost arching his nose into the orange petal, "......"
He raised his head and looked at the old lady with a confused expression, why are you beating me?
Mrs. Duan glared at him, "You're really hard-winged. It's up, the front foot just broke up, and this is pushing your eldest sister to divorce, you are really idle and have nothing to do, don't you want to be this young marshal, right? ”
Duan Hanting lowered his eyes, continued to divide the orange petal in his hand, and asked nonchalantly, "Do you think I did something wrong?" ”
Mrs. Duan sighed, knowing that the environment was also compelling, no wonder her son.
"Divorce is not so easy, let's think about it in the long run."
The atmosphere was stalemate for a moment, and Mrs. Duan suddenly asked, "You are here, why didn't Ayin come with you?" ”
It seems that everyone is used to the pairing of the two, Lu's mother asked, Mrs. Duan also asked, Duan Hanting gave the same answer, saying that it was too late and he didn't want her to run.
"Pull it down, Ayin can you stop her if she wants to come? Unless you didn't give her a chance at all. ”
Mrs. Duan saw through it at a glance, "What's the matter, is it because she sent Shu Lan to me and made you unhappy?" ”
Duan Hanting stuffed the orange petals into his mouth, and the cold and sweet juice slid into his throat, which made his irritable heart get some moisture, and he said lightly: "No." ”
"Unhappy is written on my face, and I still say no."
Mrs. Duan poked his head and said angrily, "Be careful, aren't you?" As soon as this thing comes out, you should send Shu Lan here and take people back, Shu Lan and Ayin are not in the same temper, you still force the two of them together, don't you just make both sides unhappy, you are awkward to be caught in the middle, you men, dealing with this kind of thing is a lack of brains. ”
The orange petal in Duan Hanting's hand was no longer easy to eat, and he muttered, "It was Yinyin who took the eldest sister home." ”
"That's because you chose to be generous."
Mrs. Duan told him what he said to Duan Shulan, "To put it mildly, I know what kind of temper my own daughter is, Lin Xiaocheng deserves to die for beating her, but Shu Lan may not be wrong." The matter of that female college student, Ayin already knew about it, and told me, I was going to solve it, as for why she suddenly found Lin Xiaocheng again, I still need further investigation. ”
Duan Hanting was stunned for a moment, his pupils shrunk, "Yin Yin already knows?" ”
Mrs. Duan nodded, and sighed helplessly, "It's evil, then Lin Xiaocheng is really not a thing, it made the belly of the female student bigger, Shu Lan is angry, she killed other people's children, and the fetus is not a disaster, your eldest sister's ruthlessness is much more powerful than me." As she spoke, Mrs. Duan smiled bitterly, her eyes full of sadness and vicissitudes.
Duan Hanting's eyes were dark.
Mother is notoriously ruthless in the business, but she has never poisoned the children in the wombs of her aunts and wives, otherwise he would not have so many younger brothers and sisters, he knows that his mother is not without means, but she can't be ruthless, but the eldest sister has a ruthless heart, and she goes on a rampage to find someone to settle accounts, and she wants to kill people and kill people when she gets rid of other people's children, and the means are bad and low-end.
If it were him, if he married such a mother-in-law and went home, knowing that his child died in her hands, it was estimated that he would not be able to suppress the fire, not to mention that Lin Xiaowei did not like the eldest sister.
"Shu Lan got to this point, Lin Xiaocheng is indeed hateful, but a slap can't make a sound, and she is also at fault."
Mrs. Duan said: "If you are someone else, with such a big sister-in-law, let alone saving her and taking her in, you won't even care about it, and you won't even fall into the well." Have you forgotten, how did your aunt make things difficult for me before? How did my baby fall? Hey, you men, you never know how far a woman can endure for the sake of marriage. Ayin has done her best to Shu Lan, I have nothing to say as a mother-in-law, and you, who are a father-in-law, if you give her a look at her face because of this incident, you really don't know what to do. ”
Duan Hanting pursed his thin lips, the gloom under his eyes suddenly dissipated a little, and he raised the corners of his lips, saying that he knew.
Stuffing the remaining orange petals into Mrs. Duan's hand, he stood up.
Mrs. Duan watched him stand up and asked knowingly, "Didn't you say that you won't go back tonight and want to stay with me for one night?" ”
"You have the eldest sister and Lu's mother to accompany you, and you are not one of me."
Duan Hanting leaned over and kissed his mother's forehead, "When I'm busy for a while, I'll bring Ayin back to see you." ”
With that, he hurried away in the night.
Mother Lu was coming in with a tea tray, listening to Duan Hanting waving goodbye to her happily, and asked in a daze, "Young Master, what's the matter, why do you suddenly have to leave again?" ”
Mrs. Duan stood up from the beauty couch wrapped in a blanket and said with a smile, "I'm going back to accompany my daughter-in-law." This stupid boy knows everything, but he has to make this awkwardness, so let's go blind by myself. ”
……
After Duan Hanting left, Rong Yin sat in the huge living room all night.
Lian'er persuaded her to go back to her room to rest, she said that she couldn't sleep, so she simply read some account books to pass the time, Lian'er insisted on staying with her, but she didn't stay up and fell asleep on the sofa.
Before spring, the weather was still cold, the wind outside was very strong, blowing the window rustling, Rong Yin took out a quilt from the bedroom and covered it with Lian'er, and shrank in the sofa to look at the account book.
The dense numbers on the book are all money, in the past, she could see ten lines at a glance, and deal with the accounts quickly, but tonight she was absent-minded, and she couldn't read a word.
The huge living room, except for a fortune tree to accompany her, was empty, indescribably dim and lonely.
It seems that Duan Hanting is no longer around, and she doesn't even have the temperature to breathe.
For the first time, he left her behind and left alone.
I'm really not used to it.
