Chapter 4: Shame
The next day, Tang Yan's eyes were red and swollen when she got up, like two bruised apricots.
When Aunt Zhao saw it, she was startled, "Oops! ”
"What's wrong?" Tang Yan was still sitting on the bed, stretching out her hands and leaning forward, a little nervous, she thought that Aunt Zhao had fallen.
But I didn't hear the sound of body collision, and Qingli's face was in the direction of the sound source.
Aunt Zhao was so distressed that her fingertips gently touched Tang Yan's eyelids, Tang Yan was afraid that someone would find out that she cried last night, so she shrank her chin weakly.
Aunt Zhao took her to the bathroom to wash up, and was about to open her mouth to comfort her, when the landline rang outside.
Tang Yan breathed a sigh of relief, touched and squeezed some facial cleanser into the palm of her hand, and as soon as she wiped it on her face, Aunt Zhao ran back in a hurry.
"The old lady of the Yi family invited you over for tea, saying that the car will arrive soon!"
Tang Yan was stunned for a moment, and the facial cleanser slipped into her eyes before she came back to her senses.
She bent over to wash her face, pursed her lips and said, "Then let's go." ”
"How's that going to work! In case, she finds your eyes ......" Aunt Zhao didn't finish speaking.
In the past few years, Tang Yan has avoided contact with the outside world, and even went to the cemetery to pay respects.
Tang Yan was much calmer and lower than her, and said softly: "You can't lie to people for a lifetime." I'm blind, that's true. ”
Aunt Zhao pursed her lips and asked in a trembling voice, "Then, what if the Yi family wants you to divorce your uncle?" ”
"Leave it."
Tang Yan's words were simple, but her mood was extremely heavy.
After Aunt Zhao helped her clean up, she got into the car sent by the Yi family.
Along the way, Aunt Zhao held her hand, pinched it for a while, and patted it again for a while, comforting her silently.
Tang Yan raised a smile heartlessly, turned her head, and looked at the car window, her smile getting fader and fainter.
The Tang family and the Yi family are world friends, otherwise Mrs. Yi would not have been able to send Yi Xianchen, who was only eight years old, to Grandpa Tang to help bring it.
However, because the Yi family never waited to see Yi Xianchen, and Tang Yan stayed in the Tang family's courtyard to recuperate after Grandpa Tang died. The Yi family thought that she was dissatisfied with this family business, and was dissatisfied with the Yi family, so they slowly broke off contact in the past few years.
Tang Yan has rarely gone out since she became blind. First, Aunt Zhao didn't let it, and second, she didn't want to.
Once a lady of the sky, now a blind woman, she can't get over this hurdle herself.
The car drove into the courtyard gate of the Yi family's villa halfway up the mountainside, Tang Yan took a breath, was held by Aunt Zhao, and carefully walked through the courtyard.
Tang Yan fell a few times in Yanhuai last night, and the news that Shucheng's No. 1 cheongsam beauty was blind spread far and wide.
Old Mrs. Yi didn't believe it when she heard it, but when she looked at her face today, her eyes first swept over Tang Yan's curling figure in a lilac fragrant cloud gauze cheongsam, and there was no lack of surprise in her eyes.
looked at the pair of watery but empty eyes on his face, and his heart sank.
"Ayan, good boy, come and sit." The old lady took Tang Yan's hand and asked softly.
Tang Yan is not used to dissecting herself in front of outsiders, but she still briefly talked about her condition.
"So, it's genetic?" After listening, Mrs. Yi's eyebrows were entangled.
Tang Yan knew that she was worried that the disease would be passed on to the next generation. The elderly man in his seventies hopes for peace and joy, and a full house of children and grandchildren. If the granddaughter-in-law is blind, it will be sad to have a few more blind great-grandchildren.
Tang Yan's face was hot, and she whispered, "It's possible." ”
"Oh." Old Madam Yi sighed lightly and no longer held Tang Yan's hand like she did just now.
Even though she couldn't see it, Tang Yan could still feel the heavy and cold atmosphere in the living room.
At this moment, she wanted to escape.
The etiquette of the Yi family was very thoughtful, although it was confirmed that Tang Yan was blind, and he was not in a hurry to drive people out.
"Let's stay for lunch. You go and call him, and I'll go upstairs and change my clothes. "Old Mrs. Yi is not interested, and she is not as energetic as before when she speaks.
Tang Yan was dumbfounded, and it took a while to realize that the "he" that Mrs. Yi said referred to Yi Xianchen.
Yi Xianchen is an outlier in the Yi family, and the Yi family is not even willing to mention him.
Naturally, Yi Xianchen was not close to them. After living in the Tang family for ten years, he went abroad directly.
Tang Yan didn't expect Yi Xianchen to go back to Yi's house to live, and she couldn't guess Mrs. Yi's intention to ask her to call Yi Xianchen over.
A maid came out of the kitchen and asked Aunt Zhao to come over and make two Suzhou-style pastries, saying that Mrs. Yi loved to eat. Aunt Zhao is well-known for her good craftsmanship.
"How's that going to work? I have to stay with Ah Yan. Aunt Zhao waved her hand again and again.
Tang Yan gently pushed her, "You go, I'm fine." ”
"But didn't the old lady just tell you to go-"
"It's okay, I'll ask someone to take me there."
Aunt Zhao actually wanted to do something to make Mrs. Yi happy, lest she disagree with this marriage when she saw that Tang Yan was blind. She instructed Tang Yan a few words, and then walked back step by step.
Tang Yan followed a servant through the backyard and walked to a small villa in the deepest part of the house.
The servant led her to the door, but refused to go in. "Miss Tang, I'm waiting for you here, go quickly."
Tang Yan is not good at being cheeky and troublesome anymore, so she can only move forward with difficulty with both hands.
The steps are extremely slow, for fear of bumping into others, and the object is forgotten, anyway, it is yourself who hurts.
Thinking so in my heart, my knees suddenly hurt, and the sound of "clang" and porcelain falling to the ground sounded.
Tang Yan immediately squatted down in a panic, and a female voice sounded in front of her, "Don't move!" Beware of cuts! ”
Tang Yan was a little stunned in extreme embarrassment and panic, she had heard this voice.
Last night in Yanhuai.
"Are you alright, Miss Tang?" The woman strode over and helped Tang Yan up.
The distance was very close, and Tang Yan could smell the bright rose fragrance on her body, mixed with the scent of men's soap.
The woman's clothing gently crossed the back of Tang Yan's hand, it should be silk, soft and similar...... Pajamas.
Tang Yan asked, "Is Mr. Yi here?" ”
This title obviously has an element of anger.
Mingcan deliberately teased her, "Here, sleeping upstairs, I can't afford to call it." ”
In a word, it just confirmed Tang Yan's conjecture.
She couldn't imagine that Yi Xianchen and the woman in front of her were sleeping with their necks crossed, but she just felt cold on the soles of her feet, sweaty in her palms, and instinctively rejected this place.
"Eh, why did Miss Tang leave? I'll take you up! ”
Tang Yan lost her temper in front of people for the first time, and in the face of a woman's enthusiasm, she turned around and left.
There were steps in front of the door, and if it hadn't been for the maid waiting at the door to help her, she would have fallen.
Tang Yan tried her best to stay calm, but no matter how she pretended to be calm, blindness was a fact that could not be changed.
She couldn't see the way, and despite the help of the servant, she accidentally stepped on it.
When the spikes on the stalks of the plant pierced into the skin, Tang Yan thought to herself, what a shame.
