Chapter Eighty-Five: Gathering Momentum
If there are many people in the Yi family, it is not Yi Shen or Yi Rong who can help her, but Yi Che.
Everyone was asking her why? In fact, she didn't know why she did this, she only knew that that kind of stupid and stupid days were a huge insult to a normal person, and it was also an insult to the basic dignity of being a human being.
Half a year ago, when she followed Fu Ya to the outskirts of the western part of the city, through the high walls of the orphanage, looking at the orderly classroom through the gaps in the thick leaves cracked by the wind, and looking at the bright-eyed and bright-toothed children through the barbed window, their eyes were blank, their movements were stiff, and they were about the same age as a walking corpse.
Later, I went there a few times, but a few children were missing, and I searched carefully but found nothing.
Shangguan Yunjue asked what happened in the spring of 94, but she opened her mouth but didn't know how to say, what happened?
Nangong Mo asked her why she ran away thirteen years ago, and she didn't know where to start.
Yi Shen asked her what she wanted to do, she didn't know, she just wanted to live openly.
On January 25th, the New Year, I don't know if the third brother can come back.
Yi Yi called Aunt Qu, and Aunt Qu stepped forward and asked, "Fourth Miss, what do you command?" ”
"Those two women two days ago were Qi Longcang's people?"
"No, it was sent by the little old lady of the old mansion five days ago."
Yi lips nodded, and turned her head to look at Aunt Qu, "If I want a set of evening dresses for the banquet, who is better to give it to?" ”
"Xiuwen has always had a good eye, Fourth Miss, what do you want, I'll tell him."
"The best thing to be black is to be black, and it will be sent to Qi Longcang at noon the day after tomorrow at the latest."
"Okay, I'll call Xiuwen right away."
Yi Yan told Aunt Qu not to call her for lunch, so she stopped talking and turned to go upstairs.
The temperature of the air conditioner in the room is just right, but Yi Lip feels stuffy and uncomfortable, and I always feel that there is a gas blockage in my heart, and I can't spit it out. The open blue curtains hung down on both sides of the floor-to-ceiling windows, and the sky outside the glass doors was particularly bright and dazzling.
In front of the floor-to-ceiling window, a French plane tree grows huge, and there are a few green and yellow leaves on the tree, which shake a few times as soon as the wind passes, and never falls.
Open the floor-to-ceiling window, just now I saw that the glowing clouds suddenly lost their halo, the black pressure swam, a winter rain came sharply, thumb-sized raindrops crackled and hit the feet, Yi lip was frightened to take a step back, and pulled the floor-to-ceiling window hard, the wind and rain were sudden, and the crackling sound could be heard through the floor-to-ceiling window.
The raindrops knocked on the floor-to-ceiling windows like children seeking revenge, slapping on the floor-to-ceiling windows, and a pool of shallow water accumulated on the balcony after a while, the rain was small, and the wind was gone, and the scattered leaves on the plane tree finally couldn't withstand the destruction of the wind and rain, and there was a piece of glass door that came with the wind and stuck to the glass door of the floor-to-ceiling window.
Yi Lip felt a little cold on his feet, because he didn't have time to retreat just now, and the raindrops gradually rose, wetting the feet of the slippers, seeping into and wetting the socks.
The mobile phone on the table Ding Dong Ding Dong entered five text messages in a row, Yi Lip heard it, but ignored it, always standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the light rain outside, like a layer of rain and fog, I can't really see the corridor and artificial creek in the distance, but it is quite meaningful.
The originally bright sky also darkened at this time, and it seemed that it couldn't stop for a while, Yi moved his already cold toes, turned around and walked to the table, picked up his mobile phone to check the information, and turned on the air conditioner.
The thought is not on the text message in the mobile phone, but remembering that the winter in Linjiang County is not so cold, there are open-air hot springs in the Qingshui River, and you can spend a winter without turning on the air conditioner, but Nandu is not good, Nandu is several degrees below zero when it rains, and often does not see the sun, and when the wind blows, I feel cold all over.
The room gradually warmed up, Yi Yan read the text message on the phone, put the phone on the table, sleepiness hit, lay down on the bed, and fell asleep after a while.
When I woke up again, it was completely dark outside, the rain seemed to be heavy again, the sound of the swishing was heard very clearly through the glass, and the street lights in the distance were turned on, and a halo of pus was pusy in the rain, which was extremely beautiful.
Aunt Qu came up and knocked on the door, and Yi asked in a hoarse voice, "Who?" ”
"Fourth Miss, it's me."
"Aunt Qu, what's the matter?"
"It's six o'clock, you haven't eaten lunch, I think you should be hungry, I cooked early, and came up to call you to eat."
Through that door, Yi Li heard movement downstairs, it seemed that someone was making a noise, and she couldn't help but wonder, "Aunt Qu, who is here?" ”
"Oh, Xiuwen brought you clothes, and Dinka and Li Zhun also came."
I heard these names from Aunt Guan's mouth, and I thought that they were people who worked in the Royal Restaurant, so she replied, "I'll come down in ten minutes." ”
Ten minutes later, Yi Li cleaned up, put on a simple sweatshirt and went downstairs, and as soon as he arrived at the staircase, he saw a fair-looking young man laughing and making a mess with Dinka on the sofa, and another person with a little dark skin and a handsome appearance sat on the side with a smile, watching them mess around and occasionally interject.
Aunt Qu came out of the kitchen and saw Yi lip and greeted, "Fourth Miss, it's time to eat." ”
Dinka was not surprised, smiled and greeted Yi Lip, Xiu Wen and Li Zhun had never seen Yi Lip, at this time it was nothing more than looking at Yi Lip with a little scrutiny, Yi Lip didn't care, after walking down the stairs without saying hello to the restaurant, Dinka smiled and pushed Xiu Wen to the restaurant, and did not forget to turn back to greet Li Zhun.
After a few people sat down, Aunt Qu introduced Xiuwen and Li Zhun to Yi Li, Yi Li glanced at a few people lightly, and nodded to indicate that she knew.
Dinka didn't care, but Xiuwen raised his hand and looked at Yi's lips, "This is the fourth miss of the Yi family?" ”
Yi lip didn't speak, quietly took the rice that Aunt Qu served her, reached out and picked up the chopsticks on the table to eat slowly, heard Xiuwen's question, raised his eyes and glanced at Xiuwen, lowered his head, and remained silent.
Xiu Wen looked at her quietly and only ate and lost interest, thinking that she was a boring person.
"You've been busy lately? It's been a long time since Dinka has been back for dinner. Aunt Qu served food to a few people, and asked with a smile when she sat down.
"But no, isn't the Yi family going to hold an anniversary celebration in the Royal Restaurant the day after tomorrow? I started getting busy a month ago. "Dinka had food in his mouth and slurred his speech.
"At the Royal Restaurant this year?" Aunt Qu was puzzled.
"Sanshao didn't know how to take it, he went abroad to be idle, but he tossed us to death." Xiuwen also complained.
"There was a good show to watch that day, and it was worth being busy." Yi didn't raise his lips and said coldly.
All four of them paused their chopsticks and looked at Yi lip with different expressions.
Yi Yan calmly continued to eat, and saw that the four of them did not move, "What are you looking at me for?" Are the meals not tasty? ”
Xiuwen put down the dishes and chopsticks, "Don't tell me, you want an evening dress to attend the Yi family's anniversary?" ”
Li Zhun also paused to pick up the chopsticks and looked at Yi's lips.
Yi raised his eyes, looked at Xiuwen opposite, raised his eyebrows and asked, "I can't go?" ”
"Fourth Miss, do you want to attend the dinner?" Dinka looked at Yi Lip curiously, and took two mouthfuls of rice by the way.
"Questions?" Yi lips twisted his eyebrows, and put down the dishes and chopsticks unhappily, "Could it be that I went that day, and you can still stop me?" ”
"It's not okay to stop it, whether there is an invitation or not, that's another story." Li Zhun put down the dishes and chopsticks, looked at Yi lip and said.
"So, you're here today." Yi spread his hands out, with a just right smile on his face, and he was polite and polite.
Xiu Wen laughed, "It seems that I really underestimated you, the invitation was brought to you, but the dress was prepared by the young master Nangong, not the black you want." ”
Nangong Mo? Yi was surprised, how could Nangong Mo know that she would attend the Yi family's banquet?
Yi lip stretched out his hand, "Invitation?" ”
Xiu Wen reached into his arms, took out a champagne-colored invitation card from his inner pocket and handed it to Yi Lip, who took it with a sneer on the corner of his mouth.
Yi Yi stood up, pinched the invitation in her hand and asked, "Where's the dress?" ”
Xiuwen pointed to the coffee table in the living room, "It's outside." ”
Yi Yan walked out of the restaurant, and went upstairs directly with the dress box, Xiu Wen and Li Zhun glanced at each other, their eyes were surprised, according to Sanshao's phone call, you need to protect her, you don't need to protect her like that, right? Everything is very clear, and there is no need for others to worry about it.
Aunt Qu looked at the empty staircase and couldn't help but sigh.
Seeing this, Li Zhun asked, "Aunt Qu, why are you sighing?" ”
"It's nothing" Aunt Qu didn't say much, and revealed it lightly.
After the meal, Xiuwen and the three of them said goodbye, and when they left, Li Zhun looked thoughtfully at the empty second floor, as if through the glass railing and the closed door, he saw Yi's face with a smirk at the corner of his mouth, and his scalp was numb.
Aunt Qu sent them away, turned around and went upstairs, knocked on the door of Yilip's room, the door was not closed, and with a light touch, a crack was opened.
Aunt Qu saw Yi Yan standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window through the crack, and the cold wind of the night swept through the floor-to-ceiling window and swept into the room, with a cold wetness.
Aunt Qu pushed the door and went in, "Fourth Miss, don't catch a cold." ”
"They're gone?" Lip didn't look back.
"Let's go" Aunt Qu took two steps forward, stood behind Yi's lips, looked out along her line of sight, and didn't find anything special, "Fourth Miss, the third young finger may not be able to come back the day after tomorrow." ”
"It's okay, there was no third brother in the past ten years, and I survived." Yi Yi turned around and looked at Aunt Qu, "Do you really dare to tell the truth?" ”
Aunt Qu smiled, with sadness and vicissitudes on her face, looked at Yi lip and turned around and said, "I have also lived for most of my life, and now I am a lonely person except for Qiao Yuan, and it is my blessing to be able to help you." ”
"Don't worry, I will protect you from anyone who has helped me." Yi Yi muttered to herself, but Aunt Qu didn't hear clearly, so she asked, "Fourth Miss, what did you say?" ”
Yi Yan shook her head, "It's nothing. Yi lip pulled up the floor-to-ceiling window to isolate the pervasive chill outside, "You still have a day to think about it, if you don't want to, staying in Qi Longcang is also an option." ”
Aunt Qu followed in, looked at Yi Yan standing in front of the desk, and smiled, "Fourth Miss, you don't need to persuade me, I know what I'm doing."
"Go down, I'll read a book for a while."
Aunt Qu looked at the dress box that was casually thrown by Yi Lip, the lid was casually placed on the box, and the light blue luster could be seen in the open gap, as if this dress did not please Yi Lip, "Fourth Miss, but the clothes don't please you?" ”
Yi glanced at it casually, "No, I just left it there." ”
"If you don't like ......"
"Aunt Qu," Yi lip cried out warningly, "you seem to be in too much control." ”
Aunt Qu immediately silenced, stopped speaking, looked at Yi Li's back and walked out of the door, and slowly closed the door.
