"Yes, he likes you now, but what about the future? You know that he is a fickle man, there will always be a day when you get tired of you, or the day when you offend him, have you ever thought about the consequences? He was anxious to persuade her: "I made an agreement with Xu Ruhai, as long as I marry Man Lin, he will help you go abroad, leave here, and leave Xu Enhai's control." ”

"Heh, you are so naïve, Xu Enhai's brothers have always worn crotch pants, Xu Ruhai is a famous old fox, let me tell you, even if you and Xu Manlin get married ten times, he will not help me leave Xu Enhai." Mei Ruoli sneered and picked out evening dresses on the hanger.

"I've thought about this, but at the moment we are all under their control, there is no other way but to fight, it is too dangerous for you to follow Xu Enhai. I can't see you in danger. ”

"Okay, don't talk about it." Ruoli approached him, stared into his eyes, reached out and gently stroked his cheek, and said softly but firmly, "You can't marry Manlin." ”

"No, Ruoli, no matter what, I'd rather try to believe Xu Ruhai. I don't want anything to happen to you. He shook her hand and said excitedly.

Between her eyebrows are very similar to Mei Ruojun, they all have a pair of bright and beautiful talking eyes, and the long upturned eyelashes are even more intoxicating, her expression is very moving, some tears flashed in her eyes, for a moment, she felt very happy, but she knew that all this was an illusion, she withdrew her hand, turned around and picked up an evening dress, put it on, and said lightly: "You treat me as another person again." ”

Indeed, he was in a trance when he saw her, and he frowned and said, "I'm sorry, but we're discussing your safety now." ”

"You can't marry Xu Manlin!" She suddenly turned around and said sharply: "You love her, not me or Xu Manlin, why do you want to marry a woman you don't love?" If it's to save me, then I tell you, no, I won't leave China, just like you, you won't leave China, because here are your concerns, your everything. That's why it's extremely stupid for you to marry Xu Manlin. ”

He leaned against the wall in pain, silent. After a long time, he sighed, he lowered his head and said, "She is already my veritable sister-in-law, what else can I do?" She chose to leave and chose to be the grandmother of the Zhou family. ”

Mei Ruoli sneered, shook her head and said, "So what? You love her so much, you don't know her so much, she may sympathize with your eldest brother, but she will not betray her love for you, if she leaves you, there must be a secret bitterness. Have you ever asked to check? Ruoli lowered her voice and said very quickly: "I won't let you marry Xu Manlin, if you really marry her, it will be the sorrow of your life, and my sister will be in pain." ”

"Pain? Huh, how could it be? She and my eldest brother are in love and harmonious. ”

"You're just a pig's head" she said angrily: "You don't know her at all, she's been like this since she was a child, calm on the surface, always gentle and peaceful, but she is the same as you in her heart, passionate and intense, every time my mother was eccentric when she was a child, she wouldn't have any reaction, she always endured, but she was actually very sad and sad." Later, she was married to your eldest brother, she knew that your brother had a disability, but she never complained at home, she always chose to accept her fate, but her heart was painful. ”

"Zhou Ruikang, if you marry Xu Manlin, she will definitely be very sad and sad, but she won't show it, she will secretly cry behind people's backs."

He pursed his lips tightly, shook his head and said, "You don't understand, I have done my best, the matter has come to this, maybe everything is providential"

"Providence?" Mei Ruoli raised her voice a little, and her voice became sharp: "The Zhou Ruikang I know is a man who doesn't believe in the destiny of heaven, opposes the orders of his parents, the words of the matchmaker, and feels and fights. How do you believe in Providence? ”

"Wakari, don't say that again. I just hope you are safe now. ”

"I don't have to worry about you." She stubbornly turned her head, put on her evening dress, turned her back to him, and said casually, "Zipper." ”

Ruikang brushed away the curls behind her back, gently helped her zip up, and whispered behind her:

"Don't be willful, accompany the king like a tiger, you are too dangerous by Xu Enhai's side. I married Manlin for you. ”

"I don't need you for me." She turned and stared at him, and for a moment, the two of them were so close that the tip of her nose almost touched his.

She raised her eyelashes and looked at him, and said firmly and coldly: "Since you have chosen my sister, you must love her and be loyal to her for the rest of your life." ”

Ruikang didn't understand what she meant by this, she exhaled like an orchid, her bright red lips were warm, her eyes were covered with a layer of mist, he frowned, gently holding her face, she had suffered too much for him, all because of him, he looked at her seriously, and called her softly: "Ruoli, Ruoli, I'm sorry, I'm sorry." His voice was so magnetic, trembling slightly, and every word struck at the deepest, softest place in her heart.

Her tears burst out of her eyes, the small dressing room was filled with a kind of sadness, the ambiguous atmosphere of grief, the two of them saw back and forth between a kind of reason and temptation, recalling the past, Ruikang had a deep guilt for her in his heart, he read softly: "Visiting the plum garden on a moonlit night, the shadows under the trees are delicate, and the snow is happy, and the moon is happy, and they will never grow old." ”

"Ruikang" her lips trembled, he wiped the tears from her face with his fingers, and said, "Be obedient, leave China, and go to live a new life." ”

She shook her head, tiptoed, closed her eyes, and kissed him on the lips desperately, this time he was no longer surprised, no longer stunned, no longer indifferent, he kissed her back with love, guilt, and repentance.

After a heartless kiss, Wakari suddenly pushed him away, laughing while crying, "Look, I'm better than her, aren't I?" Hehe, your great love is so vulnerable, haha, you can love her, and you can love me, can't you? Your great love is nothing but a great lie, a lie that deceives oneself. Her smile was so flamboyant, but her tears were so sour, the more exaggerated her smile was, the tighter her brows were.

Ruikang sighed, bowed his head and said nothing, his emotional world was already chaotic and could not be analyzed, he didn't understand how to deal with his messy feelings. Does he love Wakari? He shook his head, he was a little confused, maybe he just pitied her and wanted to make up for some of his past mistakes.

There was a knock outside the door, "Xiao Yun, are you okay, it's time for you to play the next song." It was the voice of the singer Ji Qing, she turned the doorknob and wanted to push the door in, but fortunately, the door was locked.

"I'm changing my clothes, I'll be right away." Wakari replied.

She sniffed, took a piece of paper on the table, wiped away her tears, quickly adjusted her makeup, glanced back at Zhou Ruikang, and said coldly: "You can't marry Xu Manlin, you have to start with my sister!" I won't let you break her heart. With that, he raised his chin, turned the doorknob, and left the dressing room.

From the beginning? Ruikang smiled bitterly in his heart, should he never marry? He broke Mei Ruojun's heart? So who broke his heart again? With a long sigh, he walked out of the dressing room.

Seeing that on the side, the singer named Ji Qing was crooked on the wall smoking a cigarette, her whole head was shrouded in smoke, she turned her head, squinted and smiled at him, did not speak, turned her head and continued to swallow the clouds and spit out the fog. Ruikang didn't care, and quickly returned to the dance hall.

Xu Manlin had been looking for him for a long time, her face was very bad, and when she saw him, she asked, "Where did you go?" ”

"Just a little bit of shopping."

"Shopping? My friends want to see you. ”

"I don't want to see them."

"Are you trying to ruin my pleasure?" She angrily questioned him.

"I'm tired, go back first, you can play as much as you want." Zhou Ruikang didn't want to quarrel with her in public, so he raised his leg and walked to the door.

Xu Manlin was angry and anxious, and wanted to catch up, but the fire in her stomach was nowhere to go, and she felt both aggrieved and faceless, her arrogance still stopped her steps, turned around, sat on the sofa, poured a glass of brandy and poured it into her mouth, she poured herself cup after cup, she really wanted to get drunk to death.

"Stop drinking!" Song Yuanyang snatched her wine glass and sat down beside her.

"You care about me!" She snatched the glass again, and the two of them pulled the poor glass back and forth.

"Manlin!" He shouted at her. Her mood suddenly collapsed, hugged Song Yuanyang's shoulders, and cried.

He patted her on the back and frowned and said, "Do you have to marry him?" ”

"Yes." She cried profusely, but answered firmly.

"Why? He is not good to you, even a blind man can see that he does not love you. ”

"I love him!"

"If he keeps doing this to you, how will you live in the future?"

"I don't care, I want him to be my husband."

Song Yuanyang shook his head: "You are still so willful. How can you be willful with your marriage? How can you go about marrying a man who doesn't love you at all? ”

"In two days, he will be my husband, and I will take my marriage very seriously."

"Man Lin, don't kid yourself, he doesn't deserve you, come with me, let's go to France, I'll buy a manor and give it to you, full of lavender." He held her hand: "The combination of our two families is a perfect match, and the door is right." ”

She pulled out her hand violently and glared at Song Yuanyang: "I'm going to get married in two days, what are you talking nonsense?" ”

"I'm sincere......"

"If you ask me not to marry a man who doesn't love me, can you marry a woman who doesn't love you?" She interrupted him, picked up the handbag, and stood up. "I don't want to be a bargaining chip in your political game, I love him, I want to marry him and be his wife."

With that, she walked out with slightly drunk steps.

//

In the next two days, everything seemed to be calm, this calm made Zhou Ruikang feel a little unusual, Mei Ruoli suddenly left the Xu Mansion and disappeared, Xu Manlin became very quiet and prepared for the marriage, no longer going out to mess around, no longer sticking to him, with a happy smile on her face, silently tidying up her beautiful wedding dress designed by a French designer.

Ruikang was worried about Ruoli on the one hand, and ashamed of Manlin on the other, he always faintly felt that the calm around him was the prelude to the storm, he sat on the sofa, watching Xu Manlin spin back and forth in front of the luxurious dressing mirror with a wedding dress, but his mind remembered Mei Ruojun spinning happily in that small and simple attic, their faces were also filled with happiness and hope, but Mei Ruojun's delicate figure occupied his whole heart and whole brain.

Her eyes were full of happiness, just a simple attic of eight square meters, it was enough to make her happy like that, yes, if the pear was right, she would never voluntarily go back to the Zhou family's compound, nor would she voluntarily go to the Zhou family's grandmother, there must be something strange in this.

Oh, his thoughts began to entangle with her phantom again, her laughter, her tears, the way she focused when she embroidered, the swift movements she made when she cooked, the way she bit the pen when she wrote poetry, the more he thought about it, the more excited he became, the more painful he became, but he enjoyed the painful memories very much. His current life is luxury, wealth, pursuit, everything, but no happiness. And these painful memories were the only joy he could find some solace. What a contradictory heart, and his life is sustained precisely by the beating of this contradictory heart.

The scene in front of his eyes began to blur, and the past in the city of Peking reappeared like a movie, and he saw the piece of Xipa on her head flying from the sky and falling on his face, and they looked at each other, and from that moment on, she was deeply imprinted on his heart, a deep, painful, indelible imprint.

He misses everything in Beiping, his relatives, friends, lovers, where is Xu Ziyan? Are Cheng Jiawei and Cheng Jiaqi attending classes at school? Have Shu Zhi and Xun Mei grown taller?
