Chapter 34: The New Life of the Bad Cottage 9
Hui Ting is not a fool, she can hear the prevarication in Cheng Lan's words, she is afraid that there are more things she doesn't know, so she chooses to avoid it.
"Little sister, what's wrong?" Hui Ting's sister Hui Rong happened to return to her parents' house to accompany her mother, and when she saw her little sister crying and returning home, she asked distressedly.
"Eldest sister, Cheng Lan, he's a liar!" Hui Ting has had a very good relationship with her sister since she was a child, and she told everything that happened just now.
"Xie Mei, Xie Mei, why is this name so familiar?" Hui Rong frowned and tried to remember, "I remember, the sister of Dr. Zhao, who is new to our hospital, has the same name, and they are from the same place!" But no, his sister is Mr. Kyoda. β
"Sister, what did you say?" Hui Ting stopped her tears in surprise, "Even if the name is the same hometown, but Cheng Lan said that his ex-wife can't read big characters, so it can't be the same person!" β
"Little sister, I didn't say they were the same person." Hui Rong was a little helpless about his sister's impatience: "But if you follow what you said, the unique temperament of the woman who first asked you must not be an ordinary person." β
"Who the hell are you talking to?" Hui Ting was a little dissatisfied, "Actually, even if Lan has an ex-wife...... They have never been in love with each other and are now divorced...... It's like my brother-in-law had a girlfriend before. β
"It's not the same thing. Cheng Lan's main thing is deception. Because he is not satisfied with his marriage and does not go home for ten years, is this something that a filial son will do? Hui Rong knew that his sister was still young and would not take many things into consideration, so he could only patiently persuade her: "Also, he easily ruined another woman's life in order to escape, isn't it also selfish?" β
"I don't listen, I don't listen, I don't listen!" Hui Ting covered her ears and shook her head desperately, she remembered her first meeting a year ago, more than 300 days of companionship, and the rose proposal not long ago, she couldn't just do it casually, because another stranger's words condemned him.
"You go out, I'm going to be quiet for a while." Hui Ting pushed her sister's body hard, watching her give up and leave, before closing her door and lying on the bed, hiding in the quilt and crying quietly.
Cheng Lan's deception, his confession, his smile, the unfilial piety of her sister, and the words of the strange woman appeared over and over in her mind, and Hui Ting gradually fell asleep.
All this was like a heavy stone, pressing on her chest, and even in her sleep, Hui Ting's brows were still wrinkled tightly.
Can't escape, this is Hui Ting's first thought after waking up, she wants to be with Cheng Lan hand in hand for a lifetime, then this knot must be untied, otherwise she will not be at ease for the rest of her life.
I called a rickshaw, but it was a short time before I arrived at the gate of Beijing University.
"Classmate, do you know Mr. Xie? A short-haired female gentleman about thirty years old. Hui Ting stopped a female student holding a textbook and asked.
"You're here for the lecture too, aren't you?" The female student said proudly: "Recently, many people have come to listen to our Mr. Xie's class, you came too coincidentally, just behind, the third classroom in the South Pavilion, hurry up, there is no place if you go late!" β
Hui Ting thanked the kind female student and hurriedly ran in the direction she pointed. Fortunately, there was a back door, and she quietly walked in, and classes had already begun inside, and sure enough, it was crowded with students, and everyone was looking intently in the direction of the podium - it was the woman!
Who the hell is she? Cheng Lan's vulgar ex-wife? A talented gentleman at Kyoto? Or is it just a coincidence?
Hui Ting reluctantly listened to a class, she secretly looked at the students around her, more than 200 people were crowded in this small classroom, but it was not very cluttered, and the woman's calm and powerful voice floated in the classroom. The students would be pondered by her questions and laughed at her occasional funnyβa very attractive gentleman.
Until the bell rang for the end of class, the sun was gradually setting, and the classroom was dark, and there were still students who were reluctant to leave.
Huo Ran loves these students who are desperately trying to absorb knowledge. These children are obviously only in their teens, but they have already begun to try to save the country with their own strength, maybe naΓ―ve, but their fiery hearts and bright eyes have moved Huo Ran.
Whenever she looks at these energetic students who are full of expectations, she will think about the shock given to her by the insensitivity of the pedestrians on the road when she first came to Beiping, these students are the future!
The excited students noticed Mr. Xie's exhaustion, and they quietly made a look, if they didn't understand the problem, they could discuss it on their own first, and then come back tomorrow to ask Mr. Xie, so they said goodbye one after another.
"Sir." Hui Ting stopped Huo Ran's steps.
As soon as Hui Ting entered the door, Huo Ran noticed her, and when the other students were looking down and thinking, she was the only one looking around, it was too obvious.
"Sir, may I have a cup of coffee?" Hui Ting plucked up the courage to say to her.
Huo Ran smiled slightly: "Of course you can." But I'm a gentleman, how can a student invite me? Come with me. β
A "gentleman" and a "student" eased the atmosphere between the two.
"Sir, you ...... Cheng Lan" Hui Ting asked hesitantly.
"As you guessed, I'm his ex-wife." Huo Ran did not evade answering directly.
"Sir, you should also know about my relationship with Cheng Lan, why don't you hate me?" Hui Ting could feel the peace on Huo Ran's body.
"Why should I hate you?" Huo Ran asked puzzledly: "It was Cheng Lan who abandoned me, and you were also deceived by him." β
"But if it weren't for me...... He probably won't ......," Hui Ting was a little embarrassed.
Huo Ran found that this was really a very simple girl, and she solemnly said to Hui Ting: "You don't have to have these guilt. He wanted to abandon me and my daughter for a long time, and we are a shame to him, so it has nothing to do with you. β
"Cheng Lan said you, you are a ......" Hui Ting hesitated.
"Ignorant village woman?" Huo Ran smiled indifferently: "My father used to be a showman, and I followed him to study since I was a child. Later, when my father died, I went to Cheng Lan's house, and he had forgotten about it a long time ago, right? In the beginning, I did a lot of his schoolwork for him. β
"Hui Ting, you are the same age as my students, and I naturally see you as a student, and I hope you can take fewer detours." Huo Ran looked at her very sincerely: "I don't want to criticize others behind my back, but I'm even more afraid that an innocent girl will be hurt because she is blindfolded." When you come to me today, you must be ready. β
"I'm ready, sir, please tell me everything." Hui Ting also looked at him with the same determination, her hands clasped tightly together.
ββ¦β¦ That's it, after my mother-in-law died, I sent him a telegram, but he didn't come back, just received a telegram urging him to pay for money. We are also childhood sweethearts, I have been thinking about the past, only him in my heart, and even forgot my children. My child almost got ...... because he didn't have money to see a doctor."
Hui Ting looked at the faint tears in her eyes, and her heart was very uncomfortable.
"Can you imagine? He remembered sending me a telegram every month to ask for money, but he never told me his address. So he never thought of bringing us here. β
"I'm not trying to get revenge on him, after all, we were happy before. I just don't want to have another person like me, and I have been delayed for 15 years to find out that I am not human. β
Is everything an illusion? On the way home, Hui Ting thought about everything Huo Ran said.
What the hell should she do?
