Chapter 67: Separate Actions
"Kaiming, someone is looking for you. "The security guard called outside the dormitory.
"I don't see anyone. Replied from the balcony.
"She said it's your mom. ”
"Nonsense, my mother died a long time ago. ”
Kaiming had to go down the stairs and follow the security guards to see who was impersonating his mother.
A woman of about fifty years old stood at the door of the security room, with thick short hair, two round earrings in her ears, a towel with a long gray beard wrapped around her neck, and a sweater with red patterns looking dignified and elegant.
Sure enough, it was a mother, but not a mother, but a mother-in-law. Maybe she was born in a single-parent family, and her husband fooled around with other women when her two daughters were young, so she was very strict with men, and as a son-in-law, she lived under her knife-like eyes, she seemed to be aware of her own problems, and after An Yi got married and moved out, she reduced her involvement in her daughter's life.
"Kaiming, what the hell is going on between you and An Yi, you can't live this day?" the mother-in-law was busy asking when she saw him come out.
"If An Yi files for divorce, I will grant her all her requests. To this day, he still can't be the party who files for divorce.
She was stunned, blood gushed into her head, Kai Ming saw her body shaking, and hurriedly stepped forward to help. After a while, the dizziness subsided, she let go of her son-in-law's hand and said, "I'm fine, I have a lot of physical problems when I'm older, you take some time, let's talk." ”
The two found an empty table at a nearby café, and it was early afternoon, and there were few people inside, so she could say without hesitation: "Kaiming, I know that you are not a person who makes rash decisions, but I hope you don't give up this marriage easily." ”
"I'm sorry, but there are a lot of things that don't go your way. He replied with a blank face.
She sighed, "When you were in love with An Yi, I had suspicions about you, but once, when I saw you waiting for her in the rainstorm with an umbrella in front of the windowsill, I felt that this guy was a person worthy of entrusting his daughter for life." An Yi's personality, I know very well as a mother, the appearance is quiet and the inside is strong, always put work first, so that I neglect the family, since marriage you have tolerated her everywhere, I am in the eyes, to make today's situation, my mother is also responsible. ”
"We were all wrong, we were wrong in the beginning, and it was a relief to end it early. ”
She suddenly grabbed his hand and said: "In another year, you and An Yi will be thirty years old, for a man in the prime of life, and for a woman's beautiful youth has passed, if you lose your marriage at this moment, it will be a major blow to An Yi, I am a person from the past, my husband left me back then, I don't want to tell you, I even had suicidal thoughts at that time, but because of a pair of young daughters, I gritted my teeth and survived, An Yi not only has no children and no daughters, but also lost the job she has been relying on, if even the marriage is ruined, I am afraid she will not be able to bear it." ”
"What do you want me to do?"
"Please come back to her. ”
He withdrew his hand, "I can't wait around a woman who doesn't feel anything. ”
The mother-in-law stood up and knelt on the ground with a puff of her knees, "Kaiming, I beg you, even if it is a responsibility or acting, please stay by her side, get through this low ebb period of life, and when her life improves, I promise not to interfere with your decision." ”
It was not a way to let a woman kneel in this large court, and he helped her up, "I promised to help her return to her previous work and life, but I will leave her after all." ”
"Kaiming, thank you. ”
The mother-in-law wiped her tears and left, and Kai Ming looked at the two cups of coffee that he hadn't drunk in a daze, thinking that he would not play such a boring trick again, but life is often involuntarily in the world.
It seems that only in his complete state can he transcend everything, and the key lies in Angel.
In the C.I.A. office, Patch rests his feet on his desk and a pipe in his mouth, and green smoke puffs out of his mouth and nose at the same time, turning the room into a cloud.
The female secretary came in to report that George had sent back a message from China, "This guy is still alive." Patch took the book from her hand, and George claimed to have found the metal alien in the message, along with a photo testifying that he hoped to exchange it for a million.
"It's a big appetite. Patch asked the secretary to call the head of the listening department, and when he let George go, he had already secretly put a positioning chip on him, and as long as he checked, he could find out where he was.
The technician entered the office with a special laptop and searched according to the code provided by Patch, but strangely did not get George's location information.
"What the hell is this?" asked Patch as he looked at the empty map over his computer.
Technician analysis: "The chip installed on the other party may be accidentally damaged, or the other party is in a space to shield the signal, such as an elevator, a bomb shelter. ”
Patch frowned and said, "No, maybe this guy used the injection and turned into a metal inhuman." "The metal scales on the skin block the positioning signal, and if you don't tighten it, the drug will be ineffective after a while, and the signal will naturally reappear.
Ten minutes have passed, and the computer is still blank.
"Sure enough, the chip was broken. ”
"No, he's become a real metal Inhuman. Patch took a deep puff of his cigarette and furrowed his brows, this Brit actually wanted to play the CIA, and he had the courage to go to heaven.
He brought the phone to the staff, "Bass, give me a SEAL squad." ”
"Patch, you're going to go through the normal process. Bas replied in a deep tone.
"Urgent mission, I'm going to China to arrest the metal aliens. ”
Buzz fell silent for a while, but quickly changed his mind, "Patch, we can't let the team have casualties. ”
In the evening, Angel returned home, her mother must be busy in the kitchen at this time on weekdays, not only did the stove not turn on today, but even the white rice did not go to the pot.
She came to the living room and saw her mother sitting on the sofa in a daze, "Mom, I'm hungry." ”
Mom's expression became solemn, "Anqi, we have to find a way to help your sister." ”
She lay down heavily next to her mother and asked, "What can I do?"
"Let's split up. ”
The next day, when Anyi Restaurant was working, Xiao Guo came in with a bouquet of red roses and was about to reprimand him for being late, but the roses were handed to her.
"What's the matter?" she wasn't a casual woman who accepted men's flowers, and there was no way to escape the reprimand.
"The flowers were sent in by a man and designated for you. Xiao Guo said.
"Man?" An Yi couldn't think of anyone who would give roses to a married woman.
"It's a tall white man, and he looks quite handsome. ”
An Yi was stunned for a moment, and quickly counted the number of roses, twenty-two, the first time he went on a date with Kaiming in the cinema, he gave twenty-two red roses, and then on her birthday and wedding anniversary, she would receive the same number of roses every time.
"What about others?"
"Just left. ”
She chased after her, holding flowers in the coastal square, looking left and right, and saw no one else except two young couples holding hands. She lowered her head and found a message card in the rose: On the day of leaving, I found that I couldn't do without you, can you take me home?
A smile naturally hung on the corner of her mouth, and she kissed the card hard.
The employee saw An Yi hurriedly running into the restaurant, gasping and saying that he wanted Xiao Guo to be the head of the restaurant for a day, as long as he didn't have to wash the toilet, Xiao Guo nodded violently and agreed. After that, she took a ride back to the house, spent the whole morning, cleaning inside and out, ran to Anqi's company before she had eaten lunch, borrowed the car keys, and the heaviest thing was to run to the beauty salon.
She saw herself in the mirror, her hair was messy, her face was emaciated, it had only been a year, how could she tolerate her decadence like this.
"Going on a date?" A makeup artist with round hands and feet came out behind, although she was much older than An Yi, but her skin was watery, and her dry skin was instantly compared, which must be the effect of careful maintenance.
"It's also a date, can you help me look better?" I feel like I'm in a good mood on the first date, I remember when I was sixteen years old, I had my first boyfriend, tall, strong, a rich kid, and I treat people gently, and the relationship deepened after half a year, but one day, I found out that he had a marriage contract with another girl, and the relationship fell apart, and I met my current husband in the library during the breakup.
"Do you want heavy makeup, but a little lighter?"
"Thick, wait, lighter. At this time, I realized that I didn't know my husband's preferences at all, and I couldn't wait to bring back the time I had buried in cultural relics.
The makeup artist smiled, "Usually men like heavy makeup, while stylish men like freshness." ”
"What about the otaku?" In addition to work, the husband basically stays at home on weekdays, rarely walks around with friends, and does not go out for recreation at night, as a wife, and travels to other places all the year round.
"Goddess. The makeup artist replied with a chin pinch.
"Just press this for me. ”
"Okay, your appearance is good, but you usually lack maintenance, and after passing through my hands, you will be fascinated by the otaku lover. ”
"He's my husband. ”
She seems to have misunderstood, and thinks of people as women who are married and come out to fool around.
The makeup artist stopped and looked at the person in the mirror fixedly, "You surprised me very much, men will not be in your appearance after marriage, their eyes are always fixed on other women, and the wife is just a tool for laundry and cooking, and solving the needs of the bed at night." ”
"You seem to be from here. ”
"I'm gone, I can't live that kind of life anymore, I act as his nanny every day, and he still women behind his back. She said, "If you find out that your husband is cheating, you will immediately break with him." ”
"Do you regret it?"
"No, now be yourself every day and be more free. She had a smile on her face, but she couldn't tell if it was joy or wryness.
With his hair straightened and his face covered with makeup, An Yi turned around in front of the mirror, feeling that he was just two people from before he entered the door, and he was still worried that he would be rejected again, but after dressing up, he had more confidence to see Kaiming.
