After lunch, the servants in the house and the housekeeper, Uncle Zhou, went home for the holidays to spend the New Year with their families.
Without outsiders, the huge house seemed even more deserted.
Zhou Lanqing was a little tired. After lunch, she asked Ji Han to carry her upstairs to take an afternoon nap.
Mu Xi sat on the SOFA, watching TV and eating fruit. Next to her was the three generations of the JI family playing go. Qiao man sat in the middle of the SOFA. She seemed a little awkward, as if she could not blend into the warm and lively atmosphere.
Or to be more precise, it was a warm and lively atmosphere that was so strange that she resisted it.
She slept last night and woke up early today. Qiao man actually wanted to find a room to sleep in. After hesitating for two seconds, she moved to Ji Yunshen's side and tugged at the Hem of his sweater. "Ji Yunshen, is your room still there? I want to sleep for a while. I'm so sleepy! "
Although Ji Yunshen did not live in the Old House, Zhou Lanqing had always kept his room for him. The servants would often go in to clean and change the bedsheets, just like when he lived here. It was so that when he came back, he could have a room to sleep in at any time.
"after this game ends, I'll go up with you to rest, okay? "
He would not stay here at night, so he had to stay a little longer. Knowing that she was not very comfortable, he tried his best not to make her feel uneasy or awkward.
"Is it still the same room as before? I can go up alone! "
Ji Yunshen looked at the girl leaning on his arm, who was extremely sleepy. In the end, he could not bear it and nodded.
Today, she was wearing a light yellow sweater, a caramel-colored short skirt, paired with black leggings, and a bun-shaped hair. Her makeup was very light, almost bare. Under the bright and beautiful light, she looked like a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl, thin and small It made one's heart ache.
Ji Ming, Mu Xi, Ji Donghe, and Ji Ming, who were staring at the game attentively, greeted each other one by one. Then, they walked upstairs.
During lunch, Uncle Zhou squeezed a glass of fresh-squeezed fruit juice for her and Ji Han, and drank a few mouthfuls of red wine. For some reason, they felt dizzy. The whole space seemed to have overlapping shadows, as if they were drunk.
She had only drank a few mouthfuls of red wine. Although her alcohol tolerance was not good, it was not so bad that she would pass out after a few mouthfuls. What happened today?
She gritted her teeth and persevered up the stairs. Leaning against the wall, she walked slowly to the end of the corridor. She pushed open the door to Ji Yunshen's bedroom and walked in.
The curtains were drawn in the room. Coupled with the black-and-white decoration, the light in the room was very dim. Her vision was getting blurry, as if countless terrifying black shadows were flying over. It was the face of the maid that she had not dreamed of for a long time, as well as Gu Jinyu's face.. Her father's face and her mother's face kept flying over.
She covered her head and shook her head hard, trying to shake off those hallucinatory images.
But the more she shook her head, the more dizzy she became. She reached out her hand and groped her way to the bedside. Before she could lie down on the bed, she was hit by a wave of dizziness that made her legs go soft and she fell heavily onto the thick carpet. She struggled to stand up and wanted to speak, but she had no strength at all It was like a nightmare. She could feel everything, but she could not move.
There were people around her. Their faces were Pale and their hair was disheveled. They kept rushing towards her. She closed her eyes as if she had used all her strength to get up from the ground.
She threw whatever she could grab. In the end, she picked up the scissors on the bedside table and randomly waved them at the human figures who were rushing toward her. Almost the next second, she heard a shrill scream Then, messy footsteps came from outside the wide open door.
"Han 'er, Han 'er, what's wrong with you? DON'T SCARE GRANDMA! "
Ji Yunshen was the first to rush up from downstairs. When he entered the room, he saw Qiao man waving the scissors that were covered in blood. Beside her was Ji Han, who was lying on the dark gray carpet in a white wool dress There was a very long wound on her abdomen, and blood was flowing out.
He raised his foot and walked over. Qiao man waved the scissors. After the fear disappeared from her eyes, she became very, very mad. "Don't come over, I told you not to come over! "
Mu Xi, Ji Ming, and Ji Donghe also ran up from downstairs. When they saw the scene in the room, they were both shocked and afraid.
Especially Qiao Man's expression, which was sickly Pale and in a daze.
The figure in front of her gradually disappeared, and the fog also gradually faded. She watched the tall man walk over against the light. In the next second, the scissors that she was still holding tightly were snatched away by him. Then, she heard a mournful roar "Ji Yunshen, do you want to drive my old bones to the ground right now? Hurry up and send Han 'er to the hospital. "
Ji Yunshen's hands, which wanted to wrap around the girl, froze in midair. In the end, under her dazed gaze, he kissed her forehead and said, "man man, don't be afraid. I'm here for you. "
Qiao man froze there and did not move. She watched as he turned around and picked up Ji Han, who was covered in blood, and walked away slowly against the light that seeped into the corridor.
The figures that had rushed in because they heard the sound also followed the two of them out. The sound of footsteps gradually faded away and finally disappeared.
Zhou Lanqing stood up from the ground, took off the retro sweater that was stained with blood, took out the things in her pocket, turned around, and threw the sweater into the trash can.
Qiao man watched as she walked over step by step. The corner of her lips still held the elegant and faint smile that she had seen through everything in the world at her age. "Qiao Man, did you see it? The weight of ten years of love in his heart? "
Qiao Man's dull and empty eyes finally turned a little. "You knew about it? "
Those dull nerves suddenly seemed to be put together, and the blurry shadow behind the heavy fog finally became clear.
"You knew about it, but you've been using them all this time? "
Using the ten-year relationship between Ji Yunshen and Ji Han to hurt themselves and others time and time again.
Zhou Lanqing did not deny it. Her pair of turbid and sharp eyes revealed a hint of meaning. "Let's look at these first, and then we'll talk about other things! "
She pushed the envelope in her hand in front of Qiao Man. The envelope was open, and the pictures with taboo images slid down to the ground in front of her.
The people in the photos were Ji Yunshen and Tong Qin.
Even though she was mentally prepared and had been deliberately avoiding them, when the truth was presented in front of her eyes, it was still a heart-wrenching pain.
She thought that when he was transferred to the capital, their relationship would naturally break up.
She didn't need these dirty and embarrassing things to tell her how much she loved the wrong person and trusted the wrong person.
"So? " Qiao man tilted her head and smiled "What do you want me to do when you show me these things? Leave him, or persuade him to divorce, or... let me know how cold-blooded and heartless you are. How can you scheme against the grandchildren that you raised? "
"Miss Qiao, Xiao Shen has an infinitely glorious life. The woman who is worthy of him is definitely not an adopted daughter, or a daughter who has already fallen from grace! "
She lowered her head and looked at the photo on the ground. Her tone was cold and indifferent. "This is just a warning. I still have many ways to separate the two of you. If you think that the strength this time is not enough! "
"Of course, you have another choice. You can pretend to be pitiful and innocent, and let Xiao Shen continue to dote on you. Or you can tell him all these things and let him choose between you and your family. I think that will be quite interesting! "
After saying that, Zhou Lanqing slowly turned around. Just as she took a step forward, she heard the girl behind her say lightly, "Grandma, you used me to make Ji Yunshen forget Ji Han, and now you're using Ji Han to make her forget me. Have you ever thought that he's also a human being and that he needs feelings? "
"He doesn't need feelings. A person who wants to make a name for himself in his career should be heartless and heartless. "
"heartless and heartless? Grandma, if he's heartless and heartless, is he still a human being? "
...
The temperature outside had dropped again. The strong wind carried the snowflakes and kept falling from the dark gray sky.
Qiao man wrapped herself tightly in her nude pink windbreaker and walked out of the house step by step amidst the world of snowflakes.
The phone in her pocket vibrated again and again. She picked it up and looked at the photo of her and Ji Yunshen together in the snow that day on the screen. She suddenly felt that it was so ironic.
What about not using an umbrella on a snowy day? If she kept walking like this, would her hair turn white.
It turned out that all the romantic stories in the fairy tale world were really lies!
She pressed the hang-up button, then found Xie Zhiqian's number in her contacts and dialed it. After a few beeps, the other side picked up. "Man man! "
His side seemed to always be a world of pain. Every time she called him, there would be cries and cries. She walked on the street that had been snowed before and looked at the road that was covered in white snow with no end in sight. Her voice seemed to be dyed in the color of white snow It was clean and clear. "Do you still lack a battlefield psychologist there? What should I do? I seem to really have nothing to care about in forest city. I'll fly over to look for you, okay? "
He had been friends for many years. He could almost hear the loneliness and sadness in her voice with one ear.
Xie Zhiqian took out a cigarette from the cigarette box and put it in his mouth. He lowered his head and leaned close to the lighter beside his hand to light it. Then, he said in a somewhat hoarse voice that was covered by the dense smoke, "Man man, this country is now full of poverty, hunger, and rampant diseases. If you're really sad, go on a trip or go abroad for a period of time. This place is not suitable for women! "
"But if you can save people every day, don't you think you can live a more meaningful life? "
When she was watching TV, she had many such thoughts, but she never thought that one day she would put them into action.
"War can change many people's lives, but for those who have nothing to lose, it is the best salvation. Help me contact the International Health Organization. If it is possible, I will fly there this week! "
Without listening to his answer, Qiao man pressed the hang-up button.
She walked very fast. The distant mountain peak and the viaduct were getting closer and closer. There was some warm liquid flowing down her face, which was blown away by the coldness of the wind and snow, and soon disappeared.
...
After Ji Yunshen sent Ji Han to the emergency room of the hospital, he called Qiao Man. After calling her for more than ten times but no one picked up, he called Zhou Lanqing's phone instead.
Just as the beeping rang, the other side picked up the phone. "Xiao Shen, how's Han 'er? Is She alright? "
"Grandma, where's man man? "
Their voices rang almost at the same time, but they fell silent almost at the same time.
In the end, Ji Yunshen broke the silence and asked again, "grandma, where's man man? "
"She said that she wasn't feeling well and wanted to go back first. I asked the driver to send her back. She said that she had a friend coming to pick her up, so she left! "
Ji Yunshen took a deep breath, turned around, and smashed his fist against the wall. He closed his eyes and said, "okay, I got it! "
Mu Xi, Ji Ming, and Ji Donghe were waiting anxiously outside the emergency room. When they heard that Ji Yunshen kept talking about Qiao Man, Ji Donghe was the first to get angry "You useless thing. Your sister was hurt by that crazy woman, and you keep talking about man man and man man. No wonder people say that our JI family is infatuated with each other. You really live up to your reputation! "
Ji Ming did not say anything. He glanced at Mu Xi who was beside him. She saw the Look Ji Ming gave her and walked to Ji Yunshen's side. She said in a low voice, "Xiao Shen, I've told you long ago that you and Qiao Man will not have a good ending. You should take this opportunity to let go completely. Otherwise, the both of you will sink deeper and deeper. The more hurt you get, the deeper it will be. "
"after you go to the capital, your lives will be destined to be on different trajectories. If you still want to force it, you know the consequences! "
There were some things that were destined to end from the beginning.
At that time, she had tried to persuade them and used other women to destroy them, but in the end, she did not separate them.
As parents, they wanted their children to be happy the most. However, if this continued, they would be hurt even more.
"Mom, you guys stay here and watch Han 'er. I'll go find her. "
Ji Yunshen turned around and ran towards the elevator. Ji Donghe looked at his panicked back and clutched his chest. "come back. You're not allowed to go. This unfilial son, cough, cough... "
"Dad... "
Mu Xi and Ji Ming rushed over together and held Ji Donghe, who had almost fallen over. "It's all because you spoiled him. All of you are useless for a woman. I'll just see what else he can do. "
...
Winter in forest city was particularly dark early. The Sky was already dark at four o'clock!
Ji Yunshen drove the smoke-gray Bentley around half the city before he found her at the top of the mountain where he had seen the fireworks on his wedding night.
She closed her eyes and sat against the wind, not knowing if she was crying.
Perhaps it was because she heard footsteps, but her warm and indifferent voice came from the wind "Ji Yunshen, I saw the ending of that youth romance novel. The male protagonist met another woman abroad and got married. After the female protagonist was released from prison, she went to Syria to be a battlefield nurse. About a year later, she died in an air raid! "
"You said that time will always encourage the person you love to love again, but they didn't. "
She stood up and walked over with the rays of the setting sun on her back. She took out a stack of photos and a divorce agreement from her pocket. "Ji Yunshen, let's break up completely. Let's get a divorce! "
"Man man, I... "
"I know. I chose not to ask about this matter, and I also chose not to let you confess. I don't blame you, so all you have to do is sign it. "
She had already signed the divorce agreement, and each stroke was written with Qiao Man's name.
His eyebrows moved slightly, and he reached out to take it and tore it into pieces. "Man man, I forgot to tell you that our JI family doesn't have the habit of getting a divorce! "
"Oh, but what should we do then? I don't love you anymore! "
