Chapter 16: Caught off guard
Lan Hongda is indeed crying! It's sad, it's heartfelt. A pint of incense to him is not simply a source of wealth, not only a symbol of status, it is like a witness to him, witnessing his humiliation in that poor and lowly generation, witnessing his forbearance and upward struggle, witnessing his bitter glory, and witnessing his bitter marriage.
Yipinxiang is a part of Lan Hongda's life, although Lan Fu's mansion is quite luxurious, although the decoration inside is perfect, but whenever he is happy, when he is lost, when he is disheartened, Lan Hongda likes to stay here, it seems that only here can accommodate everything he has and resolve the injustice in his heart.
Lan Hongda likes to listen to others praise Yipinxiang, whether it is to praise the decoration here or praise the dishes here, it is not just a compliment, it seems to be an affirmation of his life.
Lan Hongda couldn't even remember how Yipinxiang was seized, although he was at the scene at the time, but there didn't seem to be any fragmented memories left in his mind.
Lan Hongda only felt that he was stunned, he was stunned to be driven out of Yipinxiang by the people of the government, and the guests who were stunned to see Yipinxiang being driven out one by one, he didn't have any stops, not even a momentary question. Ever since Lan Yi refused to get married, his heart has been uneasy, really, within a few days, such a bad luck really came, I don't know whether to rejoice in his uncertain prophet or lament the misfortune of his family!
He Lan Hongda can lose everything, but only this one tastes incense...... But God seemed to be playing a joke with him, his favorite Yipinxiang was actually confiscated! It's not that he hasn't thought about the cause of the incident, and it's not that he hasn't thought that one day in the future, Yipinxiang will reopen, but now it has been seized after all! It's like a stain on it, a stain that can't be erased no matter what! Thinking of this, Lan Hongda was sad and hated, all of this is Lan Yi! But Lan Yi, his only son, he can't help him, so he can only cry like this!
Time seems to have stood still, and nothing has changed in a long time. Gradually, Lan Hongda felt a little physically exhausted, and he squatted on the steps with his strength haggard, leaning on half of his body, unable to see if he was opening his eyes, but felt that he might have to sit like this until dawn.
"That place must be bitterly cold!" Lan Yi thought, but in an instant, Lan Yi felt guilty for the pity in his heart! He is Lan Hongda, a cruel Lan Hongda to his mother! He saw his mother's atrocities so clearly, how could he have such trance sympathy because he was sitting on the cold ground? He wants to defend his mother, and he can't have any soft-heartedness towards the hard-hearted man in front of him at any time!
The moon is still sprinkled with cold clear light, Lan Yi gritted her teeth, is it hatred or forbearance? Lan Yi's eyes flashed with the usual contradictions and complexities. For so many years, he has lived in such entanglements, and there has never been a moment to call himself truly happy!
"Would you like to go over and have a look?" A woman's deep voice sounded in his ears, Lan Yi was startled, he turned around, and saw Feng Yao's simple face.
This is the purest face he has ever seen in this world, she not only has a simple face, but also has a delicate heart, he has seen her scheming, he has seen her clever and kind. At this moment, she appeared in front of him like a holy woman, his body was extremely cold, his heart had become frosty, he raised his already somewhat stiff hand and gently pulled her into his arms, gently, his arms wrapped around her.
I didn't expect her body to be so warm, the warm body temperature slowly soaked into her body, Lan Yi felt very comfortable, very comfortable! Her arms wrapped around her petite frame.
He was cold, and she gave him warmth.
Feng Yao was completely stunned by Lan Yi's sudden hug! Although she has a big personality, although she is ordinary and informal, she is a girl after all! What's more, it was usually her Feng Yao who took the initiative to touch Lan Yi's limbs, but she had never hugged so presumptuously!
Now, when the moon is in the sky, they are standing on this street, and they are hugging! Although Feng Yao felt that her breathing was a little short, and a violent wind and waves surged her in her heart, her consciousness was still sober, she pushed Lan Yi away, and shouted angrily in a low voice, "What are you doing?" But before the reprimands were finished, Lan Yi staggered and seemed to faint again.
"What's wrong with you?" This time it was Feng Yao, and her body met the body that was about to fall.
"What's wrong with you? Isn't it always good? Although Lan Yi is thin, but after all, he is a tall boy, although Feng Yao's strength is not small, plus there is still kung fu in her body, but at this moment she can't use any skills, plus Lan Yi seems to be pressed down from the top of her head, her body shook slightly, in order to stand firm, Feng Yao put his back against the wall, and Lan Yi pressed on her body.
The cold, instantly striking from the back, Feng Yao shuddered.
"What's wrong with you?" Feng Yao asked again.
"I'm cold!" Lan Yi didn't seem to feel Feng Yao's difficulty at this moment, and he replied numbly.
"Cold?" Feng Yao wanted to reach out and touch Lan Yi's forehead, but he pressed her, she couldn't move, so she could only hug him tighter.
"I'll ......be fine soon" Lan Yi's teeth seemed to be chattering, his head was trembling slightly, Feng Yao could clearly feel his exhaled breath, and could feel his powerful heartbeat.
"No hurry! No hurry! Feng Yao caressed Lan Yi's back, like a mother soothing a child, suddenly, a cold and cold thing crossed Feng Yao's shoulder, Feng Yao was startled, squinted and looked at the sky, the moonlight was bright, and the stars were shining!
It's not raining! What about this water? …… It can't be this man crying, right?
Feng Yao couldn't believe his judgment! Lan Yi, the ordinary Lan Yi, at this moment, actually cried!
The tears seemed to be only one drop, but they dripped into Feng Yao's heart, she grew so big, she had hardly seen any man crying, let alone such a handsome man.
"If you miss him, you can go over and have a look, after all, he is your father, and he will forgive you no matter what you do." Feng Yao's mind is now full of Xiao Zheng's anger towards her, but every time, as long as she is coquettish, Xiao Zheng's anger will disappear.
"I definitely don't miss him! I don't need his forgiveness! Lan Yi got up abruptly and left without looking back, leaving Feng Yao standing there, as if everything that had just happened was Feng Yao's own hallucination!
When Feng Yao and Lan Yi returned home, Xiao Zheng was sitting on the chair in the hall with a blue face. There was no light in the room, only the moonlight shining through the window lattice. Feng Yao was about to tiptoe back to his room, but unexpectedly, a low question came from the room, "Where did you go in the middle of the night?" Is there any decency in a girl's house? The voice was made by Xiao Zheng, desolate with reproach and resentment.
"Daddy, it's not what you think, I'll go out ......" Feng Yao was in a hurry at this time, she walked in the direction of the sound, and she didn't know what she tripped under her feet, and her body staggered, as if she was about to fall to the ground, but it was clear that someone caught her. In just an instant, Feng Yao was put away and stood there in a daze.
"Uncle Xiao, I'm sorry, it's all my ......" Feng Yao felt the strange familiarity, just now she should have tripped Lan Yi without paying attention, and now, she seemed to be hugged by Lan Yi.
"It's you again! I don't care whose son-in-law you are, it's entirely for Yao'er's sake to keep you down. But if your presence will only cause trouble for Yao'er, I will definitely not stand idly by! Xiao Zheng's words couldn't be more obvious, this is him faintly issuing an expulsion order.
Although Lan Yi was in a depressed mood today, he was still entangled with Yipinxiang and his father, but at this moment, Xiao Zheng said this, and he felt that this small piece of land seemed to be unable to keep himself again!
Yes, his presence has caused too much trouble for this family! If he continued to stay here, if the Zhong family or the Lan family came to the door one day, how would they explain it?
Lan Yi suddenly felt guilty, he blamed himself a little, why didn't he understand this earlier, and almost implicated Feng Yao's family!
"Daddy is angry with me, don't worry too much." Feng Yao grabbed Lan Yi's figure, and his arm was caught.
"I'm really a **** annoyance." Lan Yi's words were still cold.
"How so?" Feng Yao was a little excited, she saw Lan Yi who was crying tonight, she felt the softness and fragility under his cold and strong appearance, and her heart couldn't bear it.
"Don't worry, I'll take care of this matter myself, don't worry, it won't cause trouble to you and Uncle Xiao!" Lan Yi gently brushed away Feng Yao's hand and walked towards the room in the backyard.
Today, too many things have happened, his head is a little confused, his heart is a little unbearable, he needs to think quietly, think about the situation in front of him, think about his life, think, he still has the future of the Lan family.
The night was still silent, the moonlight had dimmed a little, and the light in the room was even dimmer. Feng Yao, who returned to the room, didn't feel sleepy at all, she threw her body on the bed indiscriminately, and she didn't even take off her coat. In her head is the Lan Yi in the shadows, the Lan Yi with a focused expression, the weak and helpless Lan Yi, and the Lan Yi who left tears on her shoulders!
I used to think that he just didn't agree to the marriage at home, but now it seems that things are definitely not so simple. That stubborn, cold, arrogant and handsome young man has too many secrets, secrets...... Feng Yao didn't seem to want to know, she just simply hoped that Lan Yi could return to that comfort and comfort, as for the rest, she didn't care at all, and she didn't want to care.
In her thoughts, Feng Yao's mind fell into chaos, and her night had just come......
