Half a month later is the finals, this half a month, the organizing committee did not arrange a training camp, Chen Yixuan wanted to go home and rest for a while, so she called and asked Deng Cheng to wait for her at the door of the hotel, simply packed her things, and returned to the Wang family's mansion.

The car was still on the way, and he received a call from Zhao Litao, who said with some pity and helplessness, "Xiaoxuan, I watched the news this morning, I believe you won't follow the unspoken rules of the judges, but, the modeling circle, the entertainment industry, it's really too dark and chaotic, you don't want to be a model anymore, okay?" Where are you now? I'll pick you up! ”

He is always so bitter and inducing, but Chen Yixuan really doesn't want to hear it......

So, she covered her ears with one hand and became a little impatient: "Brother Litao, this is my own choice, I said it, I like this circle!" I like the feeling of being in the limelight, even if it's a scandal, it means that someone pays attention to me and I'm popular, isn't it? ”

Zhao Litao's voice was a little angry, "Xiaoxuan, you really disappointed me!" One wrong step, no turning back! Do you have to stick to it? You weren't originally this kind of person who likes flashiness, behind the brilliance are floating clouds, don't be stupid! ”

Chen Yixuan finally couldn't suppress the anger in her heart, and when she mentioned the apex, she said with tears in her eyes: "What do you know? If there is no scandal, you can't become a star, the more scandals you have, the more popular I am, the richer I am, the richer I am, the better I can live, and I won't be ridiculed......"

Speaking of which, I couldn't talk any longer, and hung up the phone silently.

In the hazy eyes of tears, what emerged was four years ago, before Zhao Litao went abroad, when she went to the airport to see her off, she heard what Zhao Litao's mother said.

At that time, because of the taxi jam, Chen Yixuan arrived half an hour later than the scheduled time, and it was less than 45 minutes before the plane took off.

Chen Yixuan got out of the car and ran all the way into the terminal, found Zhao Litao, and before she got closer, she heard Zhao's mother with her back to her, and said loudly to Zhao Litao, "Are you waiting for Chen Yixuan?" Let me tell you, Litao, Xuanxuan's father has collapsed, and her mother is now a gambler! No matter how rich our family is, we can't afford her mother's toss. ”

At this time, Zhao Litao had already seen Chen Yixuan, and subconsciously gave his mother color: "Mom, don't talk about it......"

"Of course you have to say, why not! I think you just can't turn your head, you know? I heard yesterday that her mother lost more than 300,000 in one night...... More than 300,000! If Chen Yixuan and her father are still there, it doesn't matter. But now they are surrounded by walls, and if they continue like this, they won't even have to wear underwear sooner or later! ”

"......" Chen Yixuan slowed down and stared at Zhao's mother's back in disbelief.

This is Aunt Zhao, who has always been kind, noble, dignified, and beautiful in Chen Yixuan's heart, how can she slander her mother like this behind her back! It's really bad for my mother to gamble, but at that time, in Chen Yixuan's naïve heart, weren't my mother and Zhao's mother best friends? How can a man be so hypocritical?

Mother Zhao continued: "That Chen Yixuan, who has the face of a fox spirit, was very good when she was a child, but the eighteenth year of the female college has changed, who knows what will become of it in the future!" ”

"Mom......" Zhao Litao's face was embarrassed, looking at Chen Yixuan who was one step away, her face was already snow-white and her expression was sad.

"People are poor and short-minded, in this society, girls who have no money have sold themselves too much, a daughter like her, once down, she is not used to living a poor life, and when the time comes, she will have a little beauty, and she doesn't know what she will become! You have to stay away from her, I will not allow you to be friends with her, let alone get married!" Don't even think about it – no way! "Mother Zhao said it categorically and undoubtedly.

Zhao Litao frowned: "Mom, Xiaoxuan is not that kind of person......" His eyes no longer dared to look at Chen Yixuan.

"Not? In a few years, you will wait and see! Mother Zhao snorted coldly from the end of her nose with disdain.

Chen Yixuan took a deep breath and calmed herself down, her heart had already fallen into a boundless abyss, falling all the time, all the time falling, boundless, as if she didn't know what the way out was.

But she still stepped forward with a smile and greeted the Zhao couple very decently, "Hello uncle and aunt, Brother Litao, I'm sorry, I'm late." There's nothing to send you, it's not far from the boarding time, don't miss the flight, go through the security check. ”

She clasped her hands behind her back, and in her hands was a couple of engagement silver rings that she specially ordered, the men's ring was engraved with her name, and the women's inner ring was engraved with Zhao Litao's name.

Mother Zhao turned around, and her usual elegant smile immediately appeared on her face: "Xiaoxuan, you are here, I thought you would not come." ”

Chen Yixuan really wanted to answer, 'I'm sorry to disappoint you', but the politeness still made her endure it, and said with a faint smile: "Brother Litao, I have been like a brother and sister since I was a child, he wants to go abroad, how can I not come to see him off?" ”

Zhao's mother immediately smiled with relief, her eyes kept giving Zhao Litao a look, and she said, "You treat Litao as a brother, right?" This kid is so sensible, I have always regarded you as my goddaughter, and Litao will not be in the country in the future, and my aunt is bored at home alone, and I have time to play! ”

That look makes me want to say that you are only suitable to be brothers and sisters.

Chen Yixuan just smiled gently, but her heart tightened, how old was she that year? Fifteen, or sixteen, but you have to learn to endure and remain quiet, the daughter of the past, after the death of her father, in a short period of time, she has experienced the warmth and coldness of human affection.

Zhao's father still couldn't stand it, stopped his wife's chatter, said hello to her, and urged Zhao Litao to hurry up and get on the plane.

Under the gaze of his parents, Zhao Litao originally wanted to hug Chen Yixuan tightly, but because of these words, he lost the courage, just looked at her reluctantly, passed the security check, and turned back three times in one step.

Chen Yixuan is not the same reluctant to him, in the half a year after her father's death, Brother Litao was almost the closest person in her heart, and the person she could rely on the most.

But now, even he is leaving, she wants to rush forward, willfully take his hand and coquettishly, telling him not to leave, to stay and take care of herself.

But in the end, he could only watch his figure disappear into the turning passage, never to be seen again.

She tried her best to hold back the tears in her eyes, smiled and said goodbye to Zhao's parents: "Uncle and aunt, I'm also leaving, goodbye!" ”

Zhao's mother also politely invited her to get in the car and left with the Zhao family's nanny car, but of course Chen Yixuan sensibly refused.

Since then, in the past four years, Zhao's mother has not invited her to her house once, and of course it is impossible for her to come to the door with a cheeky face.

Brother Litao, if you hadn't left four years ago, if you had been able to stay and take care of me and care for me back then, how could you be today?

You and I have long been separated not only by thousands of mountains and rivers, nor by more than a thousand days and nights, but by an unbridgeable chasm.

During these four years, I learned to take care of myself, and when I was snubbed and ridiculed, and when I was kicked out by relatives, I hid myself so that I didn't cause trouble to anyone.

Later, when his mother owed gambling debts, he borrowed money from people everywhere, and once, he even knelt down and begged a loan shark to spare his mother's life, until recently, in order to pay off his mother's debts.

If it weren't for Wang Dashao, maybe my mother would have died at this moment, I hate my mother's gambling, I hate Wang Dashao, the demon, but I hate you even more!

It is precisely because the person who loved so deeply and relied on so much at the beginning left, far away from the mountains and rivers, unable to comfort himself in time, and not around when he needed help, so he is even more hateful!

Brother Litao, I am not such a great and righteous woman, when I was desperate and tired, I also fantasized that if you suddenly came back from abroad, came back to me like a god, helped me tide over the difficulties, and accompanied me through these years, how good would it be?

However, it is only a fantasy after all, and even if you call me, I will never dare to call you back.

Because I know that you have your ideals, your ambitions and responsibilities, and I can't be so selfish.

After all, there are many precedents there, where a man gives up his career for a woman and his life becomes mediocre, but after many years, he blames the woman for blocking his future in the first place.

I don't want to be a stumbling block for you, but what about you?

If you have considered me in the slightest, you should not have abandoned me so ruthlessly!

Such complaints and grievances have always only accumulated in their hearts, and they dare not break out, because she and Zhao Litao have never clarified the identity of boyfriend and girlfriend, and they are not qualified to blatantly accuse him.

But now, Zhao Litao, why did you suddenly return to China, and then put on a high-minded appearance, accusing me of loving vanity, greedy for money and vanity!

The four years of hardship and the immersion of life have already made her understand that in this world, no one can give you a sense of security, and no one should be responsible for your life, only money, thick money, can give women the most sense of security.

So, don't blame me for being greedy for vanity, don't blame me for stubbornly choosing this path, because I have no other way.

Chen Yixuan lazily leaned against the leather cushions, recalling all the things between the two, only to feel that he was so stupid back then, and he actually had delusional hopes, hoping that Zhao Litao would insist on marrying him despite his mother's barrier.

And now, even if Zhao Litao returns to China and proposes, she will never agree to him.

Because, there is not only one more Wang Dashao among them, but also because he is no longer the innocent and brilliant little girl in Zhao Litao's heart.

She has changed, but such Chen Yixuan is by no means acceptable to Zhao Litao.

Look, didn't he blame himself for his vanity?

Chen Yixuan sneered, vanity, what is vanity? When a man can't afford to give a woman a sense of security, he accuses the woman of loving vanity, but he never asks, do you understand her?

Brother Litao, do you know what I want most now?

It's not marriage, it's not love, it's not even you, it's not any man, it's just money, a lot of money, enough money to pay off your mother's debts, enough money to worry about food and clothing.

The biggest barrier between men and women is not that you love me and I don't love you, but that you love me, but you don't understand me.

She hung up the phone, sat in the car, squinted her eyes, and fell asleep when the phone rang again.

This time it turned out to be a call from her mother, Chen Yixuan wanted to cut off the call, but who knows if it will be another call for help?

"Hello? Tell me something! Helplessly picking up the phone, her tone was lazy, with some undisguised disgust.
