Yan Yan

As soon as it was dawn, Su Yan got up.

Before going to bed last night, she wanted to swipe her phone to divert her attention, but she found out that someone had posted a video of Xie Yu's escape from marriage on the Internet, causing a lot of uproar, causing her to have nightmares all night, full of dreams. At the wedding that suffocated her, she repeatedly relived the scene where Xie Yu abandoned her in public and followed Jiang Qi to escape the marriage.

In the end, she was awakened by the sympathy and pity of the whole room, mixed with the eyes of criticism.

The moment she opened her eyes, she was sweating profusely, and her breathing was disturbed, like a drowning person who had just been pulled out of the water.

Staring at the ceiling for a long time, she gradually got rid of the nightmare, but she did not get rid of the feeling of despair and pain, her eyes became sore, tears blurred her vision, and finally she hugged the quilt and cried.

In addition to grievances, there is resentment.

She hated Xie Yu so much that she could never forgive him in her life. If she had that ability, she would want Xie Yu to experience the pain and suffering she experienced.

However, she doesn't have that ability.

The premise of returning the pain is that Xie Yu loves her, but the reality is that Xie Yu doesn't love her, he loves Jiang Qi. Secondly, she doesn't have the ability to compete with Xie Yu, not only she doesn't have that ability, but even her parents don't have that ability. Compared with the power of the Xie family, the Su family is a small upstart. To hit a stone with an egg.

It is precisely because he is not afraid of offending her and her parents that he dares to run away from marriage unscrupulously, right?

Since she didn't have the ability to ask Xie Yu for an explanation, she could only knock out her teeth and swallow it in her stomach.

Although she is helpless, this is the reality, otherwise what else can she do? Can only swallow.

The more she thought about it, the more aggrieved her tears seemed to burst. She cried so much that her whole body trembled. When she went to the bathroom to wash up, the whole eye circle was swollen.

After rinsing with cold water, she looked at herself with a haggard face in the mirror, and was suddenly very unwilling—Xie Yu and Jiang Qi flew away together, but she was living in self-pity, why? Do you have to live in the shadow that Xie Yu brought her all her life?

don't want! She doesn't want to live in such a miserable life, she doesn't want to be Xianglin's wife.

Her life is still long, and this matter must be turned over.

Taking a deep breath, she wiped her face with a tissue, turned and left the bathroom.

The sun is shining outside the window, the lake is sparkling, and the swans are flying.

She walked into the balcony, stood on the edge of the railing, facing Swan Lake, and took several sets of deep breaths.

The cool air in the morning enters the lungs along the trachea, and the whole person is refreshed immediately.

In the garden downstairs, there was a white figure. It was the skinny aunt who was in charge of tending the garden. She was holding a pair of long scissors and was standing beside a bush pruning the shears.

Su Yan looked at the "big birdcage" standing in the east again, thought about it, turned around and went downstairs.

She wanted to go around the garden and relax.

It was less than seven o'clock, and the fat aunt was cooking in the kitchen. After saying hello to the aunt, she walked out of the villa through the back door.

Around the swimming pool, she followed the path to the east into the lush garden, meandering all the way down, and finally stopped in front of a "bird cage" covered in green netting.

The actual area and height of the "bird cage" was several times larger than what she saw upstairs. It was almost the size of a pavilion commonly found in three parks, like a small botanical garden.

Through the dense mesh holes, she could see the inside of the "birdcage", which was different from the lush and elegant outside, with brightly colored flowers and low bushes inside.

Driven by curiosity, she stretched out her hand and lifted the green net hanging in front of the door. The next second, she was amazed by the picture that caught her eye.

Inside the bird cage, roses are blooming everywhere.

The roses planted here are not the common red roses on the market, but apricot or pink roses. The flowers are cup-shaped and the petals are layered. bright white.

Fresh, elegant, but not too bright, like a lady with outstanding temperament.

This is the most beautiful rose Su Yan has ever seen.

She walked a few more steps along the path in the bird cage, then squatted in front of a blooming rose, observed it carefully, and stretched out her hand to gently touch the petals of one of the roses. , the touch is like a fine satin, soft and silky.

It's really good-looking, and the more you look, the better it looks, and it's not tacky at all, but beautiful and elegant.

I have to admit that Bai Xingfan's taste is really good.

Su Yan, who had never raised any flowers and plants, suddenly had the urge to grow flowers, so she decisively picked up her mobile phone, took a picture of the rose in front of her, and then searched the Internet for this kind of rose.

The almighty internet quickly gave her the answer: Juliet Rose.

It seems like a very romantic name.

Then she searched for the purchase channels and prices of Juliet roses, and then she was stunned - three million per plant, not RMB, but British pounds, equivalent to more than 20 million yuan, which is the most expensive rose in the world today.

Sure enough, the big family.

No wonder you have to hire a professional gardener to take care of it.

Su Yan's desire to grow flowers was instantly dispelled, and at the same time she was a little envious of the nightingale who once lived here. She was really raised in a luxurious palace full of gold. No one of her kind dared to bully it, betray it, let alone It is said to be mocking and playing with it, because it has a strong master and a solid backer.

It is good to have a cool back against a big tree, and so do birds.

She suddenly realized that she was not as good as a bird.

With a long sigh, Su Yan carefully stood up from the ground, turned around slowly, and walked back cautiously, for fear that she accidentally stepped on a rose—she would not be able to pay for it.

However, she was stunned when she opened the door.

Bai Xingfan, who was walking this way, was also startled.

After sending his younger brother back to school, he went home and heard from his aunt that she was in the garden, so he came to her and guessed that she would be here, but did not expect that she would suddenly come out of it.

At this time, the sun was clear, she was wearing a white dress, her jet-black hair was draped softly on her shoulders, and her face was white and clear, just as it was when she first saw her.

He couldn't help but lose his mind and looked at her intently.

In August last year, in the ancient town, she also wore such a long white dress and a tea-white parasol, standing on the bridge to look at the scenery.

The gentle breeze on the bridge gently blew her skirt and hair tips.

The gurgling water under the bridge reflects the reflections of the blue bricks and black tiles on both sides.

At that time, he was drinking tea with the town mayor on the second floor of a certain teahouse on the shore. The location was right by the window. He accidentally caught a glimpse of the stunning scenery outside the window. Then he couldn't take his eyes away, and even forgot to put down the teacup in his hand. , staring at the bridge head blankly, as if the soul has been hooked.

Who would have thought that the girl standing in the heart of the bridge suddenly raised her head, looked in the direction of him with a bright smile, and raised her right arm and waved vigorously.

As if hitting a god, his heart suddenly skipped a beat, his body stiffened, he held his breath, and involuntarily squeezed the white porcelain teacup in his hand, his bones turning white.

At this moment, the mayor sitting opposite him suddenly smiled and asked, "Does Mr. Bai like that girl?"

He knew it in his heart, and he no longer felt that strange heartbeat. He put the tea cup on the table hard, stared at the mayor with a cold expression, and asked in a deep voice, "You arranged it?"

When he first joined the group, there were indeed many people with crooked thoughts, either giving him money or giving him women, trying to please him by this means. At first, he just refused, but those people still didn't know how to restrain themselves and continued to send them one after another. Later, he simply terminated the investment plan for a certain company and severely punished an executive who sent women to his room. The effect of killing chickens to warn monkeys was good, and since then, no one dared to use such rude methods against him.

He is in charge of the investment and development projects of this ancient town, and he is here for project inspection, but he did not expect that a town mayor would dare to use this method against him.

The mayor didn't know what to do. After a while, he realized that there was an oolong, and hurriedly explained: "Don't get me wrong, I don't know this girl either."

Bai Xingfan was noncommittal, his thin lips were tightly pursed, and he was not angry.

The mayor was drenched in cold sweat and had to tell the truth: "I just asked because you seemed to be interested in that girl."

Bai Xingfan's expression still did not soften, and he glanced coldly out of the window, the girl was still waving her hand, and at this moment, another girl's voice came from above her head: "Here! Yan Yan! I am here!"

He raised his eyes subconsciously, looked upstairs, and finally figured out the reason for the matter - they were not greeting him at all, but to the friend who was sitting in the same position as him upstairs.

Really don't blame the mayor, blame him for being aloof.

But for some reason, his mood became worse and worse, even with a sense of loss, and he couldn't control himself. Then, a sense of disgust and disgust for himself developed in his heart - he likes to put everything Controlling it in his own hands, including inner feelings and self-control, is his basic requirement for himself.

It can be said that for him, being out of control means failure, which is why he hates the feeling of being out of control in his heart.

"I know where the girl lives."

The mayor's words suddenly reached his ears.

He looked at the mayor indifferently.

The mayor carefully looked at his face and said tentatively: "She is Su Yan, she is a new resident in the town, lives at No. 06 Dongsi Lane, she seems to be a screenwriter, our town is relatively quiet and suitable for her to write scripts ."

As mayor of a town, he basically controls the identities of all the town's aboriginal residents and long-term tenants.

Bai Xingfan's face did not change, he was noncommittal, and did not even mention this matter again.

But the mayor is a person who can watch words and feelings, so he arranged his residence to be next to the woman named "Su Yan" that day.

In fact, he originally planned to leave here as soon as the project inspection was over, but he failed to do so, because he couldn't control what he did, and he planned to leave tomorrow, but tomorrow was tomorrow.

The woman next door seemed to have magical powers, and she easily trapped him in this remote ancient town without saying much, without looking, or even showing up.

In fact, after his investigation, this ancient town is not suitable for tourism development. Although the scenery in the town is very charming, it is remote and inconvenient, suitable for living, but not suitable for tourism. However, he signed an investment agreement with the mayor. In the plan, the tourism project was changed into a project of building a high-end convalescent town.

This is the first and only time he has mixed personal feelings into his work, for nothing but to be able to stay here for a few more days with good reasons.

During those two months, he lived in a state of separation almost every day, self-loathing and wanton indulging; he was looking forward to that woman leaving the ancient town early, so that he would be free, but he did not want her to leave. , do not want to let her go.

One day two months later, she was finally going to move out. Before leaving, she came to say goodbye to his neighbor who often went to eat dinner, but at that moment, he did not feel relieved, but was extremely depressed. I want to force her to stay by my side, but there is no reason.

Reason is also constantly reminding him that he must stay away from this magical woman, otherwise his heart will completely lose control.

So he didn't keep her, he didn't even show any reluctance, he just replied lightly, "See you again by fate."

She also smiled and replied to him: "Goodbye by fate."

There was indifference and alienation in his tone, and reason was restraining his feelings, while her tone was relaxed and happy, and she was sincerely saying goodbye to him in a friendly manner, without a trace of reluctance and nostalgia, which made him even more manic-depressed.

On the night before she left, the moon was shining brightly. He sat in the courtyard of his house all night, looking over the blue brick wall between the two courtyards, staring at the top floor of the next small building like a sculpture, watching helplessly. The lights in her room went on and off until it was bright.

The moment he stood up from the mahogany chair, his mind was a little dizzy, and his eyes were black, which was the result of a sleepless night.

The water hibiscus in the blue-and-white porcelain jar next to it is blooming just right.

He closed his eyes, propped up the back of the chair with one hand, and rubbed his temples with the other.

Later, the girl really left, but he kept thinking about it until two months after returning to Dongfu. At that time, he realized later that he was in love.

He wants that woman.

He has her contact information, and also knows her home address. Even if he doesn't know, he can check it. However, when he wants to pursue her, he finds that she already has a boyfriend and is quickly engaged.

After investigation, he learned that the man's name was Xie Yu, her junior high school classmate, and the two were childhood sweethearts.

However, he did not choose to retreat in spite of difficulties, nor did he consider fair competition. Instead, he became more and more determined. He was going to make up his mind about this woman.

Later, he did not move to investigate the entire Xie family, waited patiently for another four months, and gave Xie Yu a fatal blow at the wedding.

"Bai, Mr. Bai."

The sudden appearance of Bai Xingfan made Su Yan a little guilty. This kind of guilt was based on the price of the Juliet rose in the bird cage. If she didn't know that the rose was so expensive, she wouldn't be so guilty, although she didn't do anything to destroy it. about flowers and trees.

But it felt like, without the approval of the owner, he entered the room where the precious objects were placed.

Bai Xingfan's eyes were slightly rolled, and his expression was gentle: "Why do you get up so early?"

Su Yan said the truth: "I can't sleep."

Bai Xingfan asked warmly, "Walk together?"

Su Yan did not refuse, and nodded lightly.

The path in the garden is narrow, just enough to accommodate two people walking side by side.

At first, no one spoke, the morning breeze was blowing, the lush branches and leaves were rustling, and the atmosphere was peaceful and just right.

When he reached the end of the garden, Bai Xingfan broke the silence: "your brother called me last night."

Su Yan was not surprised, she had long expected that guy would do this. Sighing lightly, her tone was helpless and apologetic: "I disturbed you."

"No." Bai Xingfan explained, "He didn't just ask me about your situation, but also told you not to rush home because grandma is very angry."

Su Yan: "…"

Although she also expected that the old lady would not let her go, she still felt ashamed and embarrassed after all, she still felt ashamed and embarrassed. She glanced at Bai Xingfan secretly, and found that his expression was the same as usual, and he did not intend to investigate further. It was just what I told Su Zhan, and she secretly breathed a sigh of relief—

It is indeed more relaxing to get along with educated people, because they understand what is enough, what is self-restraint, and they will not make the other person feel uncomfortable at all.

Perhaps it is precisely because of Bai Xingfan's restraint that she suddenly has the desire to talk - that's how people are. A person who never takes the initiative to inquire about the privacy of others, on the contrary, allows others to take the initiative to open their hearts to him.

Taking a deep breath, she gathered up the courage to ask, "Have you seen the video on the Internet?"

Bai Xingfan did not deny it: "Well."

The expected answer, but Su Yan still felt ashamed, her cheeks involuntarily became hot, and she lowered her head and asked, "It's shameful..."

Bai Xingfan: "Who are you referring to?"

Su Yan sighed helplessly: "Of course it's me."

Bai Xingfan frowned slightly: "Why do you think so?"

Su Yan completely opened the conversation box: "The groom ran away with his ex-girlfriend in front of so many relatives and friends, isn't it ashamed for me as a bride? Now the whole world knows that I was dumped..." My eyes couldn't stop sour, but I held back and didn't cry.

Bai Xingsan's tone was firm: "It should be him who is embarrassed."

"He will only be reprimanded morally, and it is I who have suffered real harm." Su Yan completely ignored it and said whatever came to her mind. She needs to vent now, otherwise she will be driven crazy by her inner suppressed emotions. After I was with him, a lot of people scolded me, called me a junior, called me Pan Gaozhi, but I didn't. It was Xie Yu who chased me. At that time, he had broken up with Jiang Qi for a long time. I also know that they both I was waiting to see my good show, waiting for Xie Yu to dump me. Before, I didn't take those people seriously at all, and I even thought I was going to win. Now it's good, the clown is actually me, and they finally got their wish Now, I was dumped by Xie Yu, still at the wedding, how ironic."

She is a lay person and can't resist the eyes of the world, especially those with malicious eyes. She used to think that Xie Yu loved herself sincerely, so she had the capital to despise those who were full of maliciousness, but now, she What capital is there to suppress those malicious people? Xie Yu's escape from marriage was a serious injury to her. It not only hurt her feelings and dignity, but also contributed to the prestige of those people.

Jiang Qi's appearance at the wedding added a powerful testimony to the trumped-up charge of "she is a mistress".

Together, the two of them pushed her into the abyss of malice.

Bai Xingfan patiently listened to her words, and asked coldly, "Does he know that you were slandered and abused?"

Su Yan shook her head: "I don't know, I didn't tell him, those people either scolded me with private messages on Weibo account, or scolded me through WeChat friends verification. For a period of time, I could receive dozens of scoldings almost every day. My private message."

Although she didn't know who the people who scold her were, she was sure that they must be friends of Jiang Qi, and Jiang Qi acquiesced to their behavior.

Bai Xingfan: "Why didn't you tell him?"

Su Yan was silent for a moment: "I don't want him to be bothered by me anymore. In order to marry me, he has almost cut off his relationship with his mother." After that, she smiled again, "He would rather break with his mother at the beginning. If he wanted to marry me, I thought he really loved me, so I was willing to endure these malice for him, but who knew he was pretending, and his acting was pretty good."

Bai Xingfan looked at her and said without doubt: "If someone slanders you in the future, you don't have to endure it, and you don't have to hide it."

I will block all the maliciousness for you, and I will shut up all those people—this is the second half of his unspoken words.

Su Yan was noncommittal, thinking to herself: Where can I still come later? She and Xie Yu will never have a future in this life.

Not wanting to continue the discussion about Xie Yu, she changed the subject and got down to business: "Now not only is I lost, but our family is also lost. My grandma didn't like me at all, and she will definitely attribute all the faults to me. My brother asked me to go home in a few days because of this.”

"You're not wrong." Bai Xingfan said decisively, "It's because Xie Yu is dead that he can't marry you."

Su Yan smiled slightly: "Thank you for comforting me." She added, "I've caused you a lot of trouble these two days, I'll..."

Bai Xingfan didn't give her a chance to finish her sentence: "Is there somewhere else to go?"

Su Yan: "…"

No.

"Do you have any money on you?"

Su Yan: "…"

No.

"Planning to sleep on the street?"

Su Yan: "…"

You don't have to be so rude.

Bai Xingfan: "Are you still going?"

Su Yan: "…"
