Get Married - Chap 49
Shao Chengyun went to look for the ring later, but he didn’t tell Xin Rong.
Below the window where Xin Rong threw the ring is a downhill driveway, not a garden lawn where you can roughly delineate the direction. The ring could roll anywhere.
Shao Chengyun searched for the whole afternoon, but found nothing.
Later, he contacted the management of the villa area and asked the cleaner to be careful when doing sanitation in that area. If he could find the ring, he would reward him with 10,000 yuan.
This bonus was already much higher than the value of a platinum plain ring. A few days later, a cleaner actually found one in the bushes, but it wasn’t the one that Xin Rong threw away.
Some things are God’s will.
Shao Chengyun thinks he can do anything with ease, he wants this, he doesn’t want that, he has the final say on how to advance or retreat in a relationship.
Now that he has played it off, Xin Rong has no hesitation to leave even if he is injured all over his body, telling him “I have no future with you” and “Don’t even think about what you can’t wear”. It was too late for Shao Chengyun to know anything.
Although Xin Rong was still in his hands for a while, Shao Chengyun had no other bargaining chips except Tangtang.
He got off work early that day, and after the car drove into the villa area, a road passing by was repairing pipelines. Shao Chengyun didn’t ask the driver to take a detour, and got out of the car and walked for a while.
As he approached the private garden, he heard a burst of laughter from the other side of the fence, some from Xin Rong and some from Tang Tang, and it sounded like they were playing with water.
Shao Chengyun couldn’t remember how long it had been since he heard Xin Rong laugh.
He stood just outside the wall, and stood there for a while, not willing to leave. Later, the laughter stopped suddenly, and the surroundings became quiet, Shao Chengyun felt a little flustered.
There is a side door in this garden, so you can enter the garden without going through the front door of the villa. Shao Chengyun walked around to the door, and through a row of hanging vines, he saw Xin Rong squatting on the ground, hugging Tangtang tightly.
Because they were far away and couldn’t hear the sound, Shao Chengyun stared at it for a few seconds before realizing that Xin Rong was crying. The boy was wearing a T-shirt and jeans, with his head buried, holding Tangtang, who was less than one meter tall. From Shao Chengyun’s perspective, he could see the slight ups and downs of the spine on his back.
Shao Chengyun’s whole heart ached. It was as if he had never been stung like this before.
The boy who had been acting very indifferent recently was squatting in the corner of the garden, holding another little child, crying silently.
His back looks too thin and desperate.
The laughter of a few minutes ago, the fleeting joy, could not conceal the isolation and helplessness of his situation.
It was Shao Chengyun who put him in such a situation, and Shao Chengyun was such a strong controller, it seemed that no one could save him.
Later, Tangtang raised her hand, rubbed Xin Rong’s head, stroked Xin Rong’s slightly long hair with her fat fingers, and said to Xin Rong in a slightly confused but gentle voice, “Brother , don’t cry, I won’t sprinkle water on you.”
Shao Chengyun slowly walked away from the door and leaned against the brick wall on one side.
——Thirty-four years of living in vain, he suddenly left with this one thought. Worse than a four-year-old child.
The next morning, Shao Chengyun woke up on the small bed in the study, and when he checked the memo, he realized that it was the death day of Xin Rong’s mother.
At this time, it was pouring rain outside the window, and the overcast clouds covered the sky above the city, it was a cooling autumn rain. It seems that it will not stop for most of the day.
Shao Chengyun originally had an important meeting to attend in the morning. He walked to the window to look at the sky, then called a vice president, saying that he would not be in the company today, and changed it to a video conference. on top.
The scene of Xin Rong hugging Tangtang yesterday was still lingering in Shao Chengyun’s mind. He decided to stay at home with Xin Rong for a day, and if Xin Rong wanted to go to the cemetery to worship, he could drive him.
But Xin Rong behaved as usual indifferent at home, had no communication with Shao Chengyun, and could not see any emotional ups and downs. He didn’t ask Shao Chengyun why he didn’t go to the company on weekdays, and he probably didn’t want to know the reason.
After the rain stopped in the afternoon, he sat alone in the garden for a while, and then fell asleep in the rocking chair. Shao Chengyun asked Xiao Wei to take a blanket for him.
Xin Rong went to the northern city cemetery alone after Shao Chengyun went to work the next day.
He called the driver and bought chrysanthemums and paper money on the way. This trip was not short, and it took three or four hours to go back and forth. When the driver drove the car into the city, it was already dark.
Xin Rong looked at the busy street scene outside the car and the hurrying passers-by, and suddenly felt an urge to jump out of the car and flee.
He didn’t want to go back to the villa, especially he didn’t want to face Shao Chengyun. Maybe it was because he was in a bad mood, his stomach had been aching since he left the cemetery, so he reached out and patted the front seat and asked the driver to pull over. The driver had already been instructed by Shao Chengyun, so he didn’t dare to let Xin Rong get out of the car at will, and said to him with a look of embarrassment, “Boss Shao
told me to take you home safely.”
The phone called Shao Chengyun.
When he dialed, he didn’t hold out any hope. Shao Chengyun answered in a timely manner, Xin Rong hardly took the initiative to call him in the past two months.
When Shao Chengyun asked when he would arrive home, Xin Rong bluntly said that he was going to sit in Meng Donglin’s bar, and asked Shao Chengyun to tell the driver that he could drive to the bar.
Xin Rong didn’t expect Shao Chengyun to agree. But after a brief silence, Shao Chengyun asked him where Meng Donglin’s bar was.
Xin Rong told me the address of the new store.
”Let the driver take you there.” Shao Chengyun said, Xin Rong held up the phone for a moment, and heard the man say again, “Call the driver when you get back.” The car was quite quiet, and the last two words Shao Chengyun said
, The driver in front also faintly heard it.
Xin Rong didn’t say anything and hung up the phone. The driver didn’t ask any more questions, and drove over to the address he just mentioned. The bar had just opened when Xin Rong arrived, and he stayed until around nine o’clock in the evening. There were more and more customers at this point, and Meng Donglin would come over to chat with him from time to time when he stayed in the bar, Xin Rong felt that he was delaying things.
Before he left, he wanted to pay the bill according to his normal consumption, but Meng Donglin pressed his shoulders and pushed him out of the bar door, saying to him, “Forget it, don’t come next time if you give me the money.”
Xin Rong drank two or three bottles of beer, but she wasn’t too drunk, and the feeling of being particularly uncomfortable when she left the cemetery was almost over. Before getting into the car, he patted Meng Donglin on the shoulder and said, “Let’s go, Brother Dong.”
Meng Donglin watched him get into the car, and suddenly said to him in a calm voice, “See you don’t wear a ring, I don’t know if you came here today because of your aunt’s death anniversary, or because of other reasons.”
Xin Rong lowered the car window from inside, and Meng Donglin finally said to him, “Contact me if you have anything.
” Most of the time, and less time to chat with Meng Donglin, I don’t know how to explain it at this time, so I just nodded. Meng Donglin was still standing on the side of the street, the car started quickly, and drove Xin Rong out of the street.
When Xin Rong arrived home, the lights outside the villa were brightly lit, shining brightly on the two luxury cars parked in the driveway.
Xin Rong didn’t understand what was going on at first, but when he entered the room, he realized that there were several people sitting in the living room.
There were Zhou Langye and Bai Hui, as well as Luo Weiqi and another handsome man. Luo Weiqi sat very close to it, presumably it was her newly engaged fiancé.
Xin Rong stood in the corridor leading to the living room and stopped, and several people over there also looked over.
The room became quiet all of a sudden, except for Shao Chengyun, the expressions on the faces of everyone else changed slightly.
Xin Rong was wearing black clothes and trousers, her hair was grown a bit longer, and her figure was visibly thinner. His appearance already explained everything, and the few people present immediately guessed what happened these days. Tonight’s party was impromptu. Firstly, Luo Weiqi brought her fiancé back to China to visit her parents, and secondly, Shao Chengyun had his birthday not long ago, and these friends hadn’t celebrated him yet, so they happened to get together when Luo Weiqi returned to China.
From a few meters away, Shao Chengyun asked Xin Rong, “Have you had dinner?”
Xin Rong said yes.
Shao Chengyun pulled away a chair beside him, and said, “Have some more supper.”
Xin Rong didn’t show his face in public, and walked over and sat down beside him. Shao Chengyun served him a bowl of wontons in chicken soup, Xin Rong didn’t refuse, and ate two with his head down.
The other four people around the table looked at them, Bai Hui’s eyes were complicated, and Zhou Langye squeezed his hand under the table.
Luo Weiqi was the first to speak, and she put a shrimp dumpling on the plate in Xin Rong’s hand with her serving chopsticks, and said with a smile, “We’ve been waiting for you, why are you back so late?” Xin Rong raised her head and responded lightly
. He said, “I went to a friend’s bar to sit for a while.”
He had a very obvious smell of alcohol and tobacco, and the people present naturally smelled it, and Xin Rong had nothing to hide.
Luo Weiqi was not surprised when she heard this, and said, “Why did you go to the bar alone?”
By this time, Xin Rong had figured out a little bit of the meaning.
——Luo Weiqi handed him the words on purpose.
A thought quickly crossed Xin Rong’s mind, perhaps this party was bestowed upon him by the heavens. If he doesn’t seize this opportunity, it won’t be easy for him to leave in the future.
His face was expressionless, and he still said in that indifferent tone, “Go drink some wine and relax.”
Shao Chengyun sat aside, frowned, but he didn’t say anything after all.
Luo Weiqi had sharp eyes and a careful heart, then smiled and lifted her chin, her gaze swept over Xin Rong’s left hand, “Where’s the wedding ring? Why didn’t you wear it?”
She was the only lady here, so she would ask such sharp questions, and she would No one stopped. Xin Rong put down the spoon in his hand, smiled helplessly, and said, “Even if you take off the ring, you won’t be able to leave.” After
speaking, Xin Rong pushed the chair away, got up and left the table.
During the few steps he took up the stairs, no one in the living room spoke.
Shao Chengyun first followed him, then stood up and went upstairs quickly.
Xin Rong was stopped by him at the corner of the stairs leading to the second floor. The platform they were standing on was only a few meters away from the living room, and the conversation between the two could be heard by everyone downstairs.
Shao Chengyun’s attitude tonight was exceptionally good, as if he wasn’t angry at all because of what Xin Rong said in public.
He supported the railing with one hand, rubbed Xin Rong’s arm with the other hand, and said, “Did you wear too little clothes, and your hands are so cold.” Before Xin Rong could respond, he asked him, “How much wine did you drink? Shall I ask Aunt Hui to cook you some hangover soup?”
Xin Rong looked at him and suddenly said, “Shao Chengyun, is it interesting for us to live together like this?”
The man was still holding his arm, still rubbing it slowly, Just didn’t talk.
”Your friends are here today, maybe other people can tell at a glance, we just force each other, nothing else.”
When Xin Rong spoke, the living room was very quiet. No one tried to cover their conversations with jokes and chatter.
Luo Weiqi stopped her unknowing fiancé, and Bai Hui stopped Zhou Langye. They wanted to give Xin Rong a chance to escape. After all, all of you here are respectable people and friends who have known each other for many years. To reveal this embarrassing private matter, Shao Chengyun will definitely give Xin Rong an explanation tonight.
Shao Chengyun tightened his hand holding the railing, and his tone was still gentle, “Honey, can we talk later?”
Xin Rong pursed his lips, took a deep breath slowly, and said, “Mr. Shao, I can’t bear you This “baby” is not qualified to talk to you.” ”
We are standing in two positions that are absolutely unequal, and there is no possibility of “chatting”. You can chat with any of your friends, with your You can chat with business opponents, even with your subordinates, but you can’t chat with me.” “From the beginning, you were just playing for fun. In fact, people around you understood it, and even gave me advice. It’s just my wishful thinking.” ”
”When I was in it, you watched me in it, and then I was about to withdraw, and you started to control me even more.”
Xin Rong hadn’t said such a long sentence for a long time, and what didn’t surprise him was that Shao Chengyun didn’t fight either. break him.
Even though he talked a lot, including accusing Shao Chengyun, the man listened to it calmly.
Xin Rong didn’t know that after seeing him crying with Tangtang in his arms, Shao Chengyun was also shaken. Although the idea of letting Xin Rong leave only briefly occurred to him, it finally happened.
Shao Chengyun could see Xin Rong’s eagerness to get rid of her and regain her freedom.
Xin Rong lowered her head, as if to calm down her emotions, then lowered her voice and said, “When you beat me hard on the bed, didn’t you think that I’m also a person with flesh and blood who knows pain…” Shao Chengyun was caught off guard
, I was stunned for a moment.
Xin Rong raised her eyes to look at him, and said slowly, “I used to admire you, you taught me many things. But the human heart can’t be forced… I begged you to do me a favor when I was on the cruise ship. I can still do it now.” Say it again?”
At this moment, Shao Chengyun was still extremely reluctant. He tugged on Xin Rong with little strength, and only wanted to hug him.
But Xin Rong was panicked by the physical contact between the two, and instinctively resisted. The two tugged a few times and made some noise.
The wall connecting the living room with the stairs was suddenly knocked twice, and Bai Hui’s voice came immediately, “Mr. Shao, why don’t you all calm down? Let Xin Rong stay at our house tonight? We can talk about it in a few days.” Right.”
From Bai Hui’s position, he couldn’t see the corner of the stairs, but he heard the sound was very close.
Shao Chengyun stopped his hands and did not move Xin Rong again. Xin Rong took a step back, but did not go downstairs immediately. The room was quiet for a few more seconds, and Luo Weiqi, who was sitting a little further away, raised her voice and said, “Brother Yun, why bother? It’s not like something you would do. Xin Rong is still young, and it will take a whole round for you to grow up. Kind of like a lover.”
Whether it was Bai Hui or Luo Weiqi, they made their positions clear, but they also gave Shao Chengyun enough decency.
They didn’t say they were separated, they used the title “lover”, and their words were very gentle and moderate.
Shao Chengyun looked at the boy in front of him, and knew that he was sorry for him, and now he was so wrong that he couldn’t even give him a hug.
In the silence and waiting, he smiled helplessly, as if he had never been so depressed in his life.
In the end he nodded, raised his hand carefully, stroked a strand of hair that had fallen behind Xin Rong’s ear, and said two words, “Go.”
