[chapter05]

Shu Yunnian didn't know why Fu Siyan agreed.

From the moment he agreed, her mind went blank, and then she was in a trance, and only followed him honestly.

Mrs. Fu and Mr. and Mrs. Shu Zhengting both breathed a sigh of relief, exchanged glances, and no longer delayed time, put on a bright smile for a happy event, and followed a couple straight to the banquet hall.

The guests in the front hall had already whispered when they saw that the newcomer had not shown up for a long time. Of course, compared to the ordinary Miss Cheng family, they talked more about the misfortune Fu Siyan.

"I heard that his leg bones were knocked out, and the whole person was paralyzed on the bed and couldn't move, even the convenience of taking a bath was moved around, and he couldn't take care of himself at all."

"Ahh Hurt so badly? ”

"Otherwise, why hasn't he shown up for more than half a year, I heard that he has been recovering from treatment in country M."

"It's a pity that such a good person encounters this kind of disaster......"

"But he's engaged now, isn't he almost recovered?"

"It's hard to say, if you really want to recover, how can you get engaged to the Cheng family? It's not me saying, what grade of the Cheng family can get the threshold of the Fu family? ”

Speaking of this, someone sighed: "When you came in, did you notice that Qingxi Garden has no threshold?" ”

It's okay not to mention it, but everyone else remembers it, and it seems that they really didn't see the threshold?

Everyone was wondering, and the voice of the master of ceremonies sounded on the stage.

After an emotional opening remark, the master of ceremonies in a suit and leather shoes smiled and raised his voice: "Distinguished guests, good afternoon!" Today is August 8, 20xx, the twenty-second day of the sixth month of the lunar calendar, and it is also the big day for Mr. Fu and Miss Cheng to get engaged. First of all, on behalf of the couple, I would like to thank all of you for being able to gather together to witness their engagement. Now let's welcome the two newlyweds at today's engagement banquet with the warmest applause! ”

The antique banquet hall was brightly lit, and in a wave of thunderous applause, the protagonist of today's wedding banquet walked out from behind the embroidered screen of Shu brocade rosewood embroidered with a full moon pattern——

Specifically, one person walked out, and the other was pushed out with a cold expression.

In an instant, the applause seemed to freeze for two seconds.

The eyes of the guests at the scene all fell to the slender figure in the wheelchair, and their faces could not hide their shock.

Fu Siyan: This is... Crippled?

After the initial shock, the guests' eyes became confused, curious, and regretful......

Shu Yunnian originally thought that she, the "fake bride", should be the most eye-catching, and even made up a bunch of horse-catching scenes on the way here, thinking that someone would debunk it on the spot, throwing vegetable leaves and shouting at the impostor to get out.

Unexpectedly, after entering the hall with worry, the attention of the guests was focused on the man in the wheelchair.

The eyes with different expressions were like countless flickering searchlights, although they were not looking at her, but she stood aside, and there was an indescribable discomfort.

After a moment's reluctance, she quietly went to look at the person on the right.

The man's cold white face was still an indifferent expression, and there was no sadness, no joy, no anger and embarrassment between the deep eyebrows, like a silent deep pool, and everything around him had nothing to do with him.

This composure and calmness really made Shu Yunnian admire.

In addition to admiration, I can't help but wonder, is he accepting the fact of disability and not caring at all, or has he been discouraged and completely numb?

If it's the former, that's a good thing. If it's the latter......

In the midst of a chaotic thought, the man in the wheelchair suddenly looked at her.

The eyes were not cold, but with the power to penetrate people's hearts, Shu Yunnian's eyelashes trembled, and he looked away stupidly.

"I am deeply honored that all distinguished guests have come to the engagement banquet of our Fu family and Cheng family today, and I am deeply honored to ...... old woman."

Mrs. Fu walked to the front of the stage with a gentle smile, and there were two more middle-aged men in suits and leather shoes beside her, one left and one right, accompanying the old lady, with respectful faces.

When the old lady finished speaking as the patriarch, the thinner of the two middle-aged men walked to the main table with her in his arms, while the other broad-faced man stayed where he was and continued to speak.

This full house of guests is a stranger to Shu Yunnian, she doesn't know any of them, she can only guess-

For example, the middle-aged man who stayed on the stage and continued to speak should be Mr. Fu's father?

What about Mr. Fu's mother? I didn't see it.

She has no experience in her first engagement, so at the engagement banquet of a rich family, the bride and groom don't have to speak, just stand on the stage and keep smiling?

It's quite worry-free, it's just... There's no sense of involvement.

For a certain moment, Shu Yunnian felt that she and Fu Siyan were like ceramic dolls on the wedding car.

The wedding reception required a groom, and he was in a wheelchair and was pushed up.

She needed a bride, so she drove the ducks to the shelves and stood here in a daze.

And this seemingly lively and harmonious engagement banquet is meaningless for both of them.

It wasn't until the parents of both sides ended their speeches with emotion and applause sounded again that Shu Yunnian pulled back his thoughts and cheered up.

The master of ceremonies said another string of words, and it came to the link of exchanging rings, "On an auspicious day, the joy warms people's hearts, in this beautiful moment of autumn and full of guests, please exchange rings for a couple and set this happy marriage." ”

As he spoke, a waiter in a tuxedo stepped forward with a tray in his hand.

Two red velvet jewelry boxes sit on a carved wooden tray, the women's ring is a classic five-prong diamond, and the men's ring is the simplest plain ring.

Except that the large diamond set in the women's ring is a pigeon egg that ordinary people can't afford, the style of this pair of rings is decent, and it is no different from the wedding ring of ordinary people.

From this engagement ring, Shu Yunnian is enough to see through the nature of this marriage - it looks glamorous on the outside, but in fact it has no feelings.

After thinking about it, the man in the wheelchair had already picked up the pigeon egg diamond ring and looked at her quietly.

Shu Yunnian pursed her lower lip lightly, and handed her hand forward very cooperatively.

The moment her fingers were grasped, the cold temperature penetrated through her skin and went straight to the blood, making the back of her head feel excited.

His hands were so cold.

Like his pale complexion, lifeless.

If it weren't for him breathing, Shu Yunnian really doubted if he was alive.

"It's your turn."

The man's cold voice sounded in front of her eyes, Shu Yunnian lowered her eyes, and the pigeon egg diamond ring was already firmly on her middle finger.

Under the brilliant and bright light, the fine fire of the diamond ring is dazzling, and her already slender hands become more and more white and elegant.

She didn't have time to appreciate it, so she quickly picked up the male ring and put it on the man's middle finger.

Before, she thought his hands were good-looking, but now that she looks closer, the fingers are slender, the bones are distinct, and the light blue blood vessels are clearly visible on the back of the cold white hand, which looks like a work of art.

It's just that his body temperature is too low, and she just holds his hand weakly, like holding a piece of ice.

With the ring on, she withdrew her hand and stood quietly with her head down.

The master of ceremonies smiled and said a bunch of festive words, and after another two minutes, the two walked off the stage together.

Shu Yunnian thought that it was time for the toasting session, but saw Fu Siyan raise his hand and signal the wheelchair to stop.

Facing her puzzled gaze, he looked at her lightly, was silent for two seconds, and still spoke: "I'm a little unwell." ”

Shu Yunnian was slightly stunned, and his eyes subconsciously looked at his legs.

Is it leg pain?

Fu Siyan, who clearly noticed the direction of her gaze: "......"

The two dark and thick eyelashes slowly drooped, and the corners of his mouth seemed to tug slightly, no longer looking at her, and only raised his finger towards Secretary Fang.

Secretary Fang understood, glanced at Shu Yunnian with complicated eyes, pushed his boss, and turned to leave.

Shu Yunnian, who was left alone: "......! ”

Why did he leave like this?

Wait, could it be that what he said just now was to make her push him away?

If that's what he meant, he said it directly, and she couldn't read minds, so how could she understand his dumb riddles......

Shu Yunnian was depressed, both annoyed by her own sluggishness and speechless at the man's coldness, but now that everyone is far away, she has missed the best time to keep up.

Fortunately, Mrs. Fu beckoned, called her to her side, and said softly: "Ah Yan's body has not fully recovered, and the doctor told him to rest more." Husband and wife are one, this matter of entertaining guests will work hard for you. ”

As he spoke, he pointed to the broad-faced middle-aged man: "You just follow Ah Yan's uncle, and he will introduce you." ”

Shu Yunnian had no choice but to laugh and respond: "Okay." ”

Looking at the middle-aged man with a majestic appearance, she wondered in her heart, why was the uncle presiding over the wedding, and Mr. Fu's parents?

didn't wait for her to think about it, she was stuffed with a glass of red wine in her hand, and followed the uncle of the Fu family to meet the guests.

**

The engagement banquet ended at two o'clock in the afternoon, and Shu Yunnian drank a total of three glasses of red wine.

After drinking, she rubbed the corners of her mouth with a stiff smile, and thought dizzily, how outrageous this thing is today, she can be on 1818 Golden Eye.

Obviously she was just a passer-by who came to borrow money, but the bride ran away, the groom rested, and she became the protagonist of the engagement banquet, smiling and toasting with the guests.

Outrageous, really outrageous.

Either way, the engagement feast coped with it.

The Fu family and Shu Zhengting were in front of the guests to see off the guests, and Cheng Feng took the opportunity to bring Shu Yunnian back to Yulan Courtyard, and he didn't forget to praise in his mouth: "Yunnian, you performed really well today, you deserve to perform on stage often, and your psychological quality is good." ”

Shu Yunnian barely squeezed out a smile, and her heart said that it was good, and she never let go of her heartstrings.

is also drunk and courageous, plus with the uncle of the Fu family, she should laugh awkwardly, and she should drink and drink.

As for the relatives and friends of the Cheng family, Shu Zhengting and Cheng Feng didn't bring her over at all, it is estimated that they couldn't think of any reasonable explanation for a while, so they simply avoided this link.

"Aunt Cheng, is that what is it now...... Is it ordered? ”

Shu Yunnian sat in front of the vanity mirror, and the makeup artist removed her makeup and hair for her, but her eyes kept looking in the direction of Cheng Feng.

Cheng Feng said: "The rings have been changed, and the guests have seen them, so this gift must have been completed." ”

Shu Yunnian pursed her lips and hesitated to speak: "But I look at that Mr. Fu, he doesn't seem to mean that......"

To be honest, the phrase he said before, "try it first", she still hasn't figured out whether he is surviving the engagement feast or trying to get married to her.

Speaking of Fu Siyan, Cheng Feng was also a little apprehensive: "Anyway, I think Mrs. Fu is quite satisfied with you, as for Mr. Fu's ......"

I have heard that Fu Siyan has a cold temperament and is not close to people, but now that he has really come into contact with it, it seems to be even more withdrawn and eccentric than rumored.

Cheng Feng was suddenly a little lucky, fortunately Wan Ning was not engaged to Fu Siyan, otherwise Wan Ning's unbearable temperament would definitely make a fuss if she really got married.

"Yun Nian, don't think too much, anyway, today's most difficult level has also passed, and I will discuss it with your father after that."

"Okay."

Shu Yunnian responded lightly, and after being silent for a while, she slowly lifted her eyes and said embarrassedly: "Aunt Cheng, that Qian ......"

Cheng Feng also reacted, now that she has solved her urgent need, she is not the kind of person who crosses the river and demolishes the bridge.

took out her mobile phone, she said: "Report me the card number, and transfer 500,000 yuan to you first." ”

Seeing that she simply borrowed money, Shu Yunnian's depressed mood all day finally had a hint of relief, and she hurriedly reported her bank account.

Soon, I received a text message on my mobile phone: "[Sioux City Bank] Your account with the tail number 0032 has received a quick transfer amount of 500,000, and the bank account balance is 503,231, please pay attention to check."

Looking at the text message, Shu Yunnian felt a sour feeling in his throat, and he wanted to cry inexplicably, so he blinked his eyes vigorously, but he still held back.

After removing her makeup, Cheng Feng asked her to go back to the hospital first and wait for the follow-up news.

Shu Yunnian didn't delay any longer, and went back to the city by car.

**

Paying the bills, visiting his adoptive mother, and asking the doctor about his condition, it was not until the sky outside the window was completely dark that Shu Yunnian sat on the bench in the hospital corridor for a moment.

A light rain was falling outside, and the corridor seemed to add a bit of coolness.

Staring at Ling Ling Qiuyu for a while, Shu Yunnian picked up his mobile phone.

I didn't look at WeChat after a busy afternoon, and I clicked on it again, and there were many red unread messages in the chat interface.

There are always 99+ chats in the love mutual aid group, and every group member has endless suffering and sadness. There are also dozens of messages in the working group of the Pingtan Troupe, all of which are discussing the content of the troupe's performance in Beijing next month. In addition to a few group chats, there are also a few private chats.

Shu Yunnian opened the news one by one in the order of morning and evening.

Sister Wang of the Administration Department: "Transfer 12,000 yuan"

Sister Wang of the Administration Department: "Xiao Shu, I have also heard about the situation in your family, this is some of the colleagues from various departments in the regiment in private, not much, you take it for emergency." You also cheer up, don't be too sad, your mother Jiren has her own natural appearance, I believe she will recover as soon as possible. [hug] [hug] [Hug]"

Looking at the transfer, Shu Yunnian's nose was sour.

After a while, she clicked on the rejection and sent another message.

Yun Juan Yunshu: "Sister Wang, I'm sorry, I've been busy in the afternoon, so I didn't have time to reply to you."

Yun Juan Yunshu: "I appreciate the kindness of my colleagues, but I can't accept this money."

Yun Juan Yunshu: "Don't worry, I borrowed money from my relatives, enough to cover my mother's medical expenses, thank you Sister Wang, and please help me Thank you colleagues, thank you very much!"

It's the rush hour after work and school, and Sister Wang is probably picking up her children, but she didn't reply immediately.

Shu Yunnian clicked on the next dialog box again.

At 14:23, Senior Brother Lin: "Yun Nian, I have 50,000 yuan of spare money on hand, give me one of your bank account number, and I will transfer it to you."

At 15:58, Senior Brother Lin: "If you have something to do, you can be busy first, and then come back to me when you are free."

Lin Wenxuan is Shu Yunnian's senior brother in the Pingtan School, two years older than her, when the school held an event, she was the starter, and Lin Wenxuan's partner said a play "The Story of the West Chamber: Yingying Plays the Piano". After graduation, Lin Wenxuan entered the Sioux City Pingtan Troupe to work, with his old and spicy voice and delicate appearance, he was very popular among young listeners, and he was also the focus of training in the regiment.

When Shu Yunnian applied for the evaluation team, Lin Wenxuan also gave her a lot of interview suggestions.

Later, Yun Nian successfully entered the evaluation group and became colleagues with Lin Wenxuan. However, Lin Wenxuan has worked early and already has a regular partner, so after Shu Yunnian joined the troupe, he has not performed on the same stage with Lin Wenxuan.

Now seeing that this gentle senior brother was going to lend her 50,000 yuan as soon as he made a move, Shu Yunnian was stunned for two seconds and hurriedly replied.

Yun Juan Yunshu: "Senior Brother Lin, thank you, I have already borrowed enough money, so I don't need to trouble you."

Yun Yun Shu: "Bow .jpg"

Lin Wenxuan's message replied quickly.

Senior Brother Lin: "Have you borrowed money? The ICU is expensive, where do you borrow the money from?"

Senior Brother Lin: "Don't believe the messy loans on the Internet, those with high interest rates, are all pitfalls."

Yun Juan Yunshu: "It's not an online loan, I borrowed it from a relative."

After the message was sent, the other party continued to "typing" for a while.

Shu Yunnian probably guessed what he wanted to ask.

The evaluation team is a public institution, and the family situation was explained before she was admitted, she is a single-parent family, and her colleagues know it. And she usually dresses plainly, and she never mentions any rich relatives at home.

After thinking about it, she said, "Senior brother, don't worry, it's a reliable relative, and the money is really enough."

Senior Brother Lin: "Okay."

Senior Brother Lin: "If you still need money, feel free to talk to me, don't be polite to me."

Yun Yunshu: "Thank you.jpg"

After returning to Lin Wenxuan, Shu Yunnian finally clicked on the dialog box with his best friend Song Ying.

Yingying: "Xiao Nian, how is Aunt Shen doing now?"

Yingying: "I just got together, I have 18,000 in hand, and I have already transferred your zfb, you take it first."

Yingying: "Don't worry, don't pay attention to your body, don't you collapse too, it's really bad."

Shu Yunnian hurriedly clicked on Alipay, and indeed received a transfer of 18,000 in the afternoon.

Song Ying herself was still studying for graduate school in Shanghai, and life was tight, so Shu Yunnian hurriedly transferred the money back.

Communicating with Song Ying, she didn't need to be polite, and sent a voice message directly: "Yingying, I went to my adoptive father in the afternoon, he borrowed me 500,000 yuan, and I can last for a while." I transferred your money to you, you keep it for yourself, I don't have enough money here, and then continue to ask my adoptive father to borrow it. ”

After sending this voice, Shu Yunnian thought about it, but still didn't say anything about his inexplicable engagement.

It's not that she doesn't want to complain to her best friend, but it's too sudden, and she doesn't know what happened next.

Maybe after Ding Bao attended that wedding banquet, she would have nothing to do - which is certainly the best.

But perhaps, she really wants to marry that Mr. Fu and become his wife?

Thinking of the latter possibility, Shu Yunnian frowned slightly.

It is undeniable that Mr. Fu has a prominent background, wealth and beauty, but his temperament is too cold and it is really difficult to get along with. Moreover, he has both legs disabled—

Shu Yunnian does not discriminate against people with disabilities, but it is not easy to marry a person with a disabled person, get along day and night, and take care of daily life.

Although she still doesn't know the cause and extent of his disability, from the regretful eyes and sighing words of the guests at the engagement banquet, she also vaguely guessed that maybe he could only spend time in a wheelchair in the future.

It's really jealous.

She sighed in her heart, and the mobile phone in her palm suddenly shook.

Shu Yunnian lowered his eyes and clicked on the screen, but it was a new friend application.

F: "Fu Siyan."
