Li Ruo also wanted to alleviate the embarrassment at the moment, and said to Yu Lan: "After dinner in a while, let's go to the old general's house next door and sit together."
"What?" Yu Lan asked.
"Don't you know? Didn't their family marry grandchildren last year? They gave birth to a fat boy a few days ago. Oh, the children are so cute nowadays. I really love it..."
As Li Ruo said, he only felt that the atmosphere at the dinner table became more depressing. Mu Zhifu kicked her under the table, and she shook her head suddenly, closed her mouth hurriedly, and bowed her head.
Li Ruo's words really pierced Yu Lan and the old lady's heart. In the past two years, the ladies of high-ranking officials never said that the husband was promoted again, and the son was promoted again. These old topics, but which family gave birth to a baby, which family added a baby princess.
Every time it comes to this topic, Yu Lan inevitably has to be asked. The daughter-in-law has been married for two years, but her stomach is completely silent, which makes her mother-in-law feel dull. It’s been enough torture people to drag it down this year or two. If it is really dragged on, what should we do
"Xiaoying, what on earth did you plan to do?" Yu Lan, who was suffering in her heart, hadn't spoken yet, the old lady had already faintly started.
Lu Ying's body tensed, and the action of picking up vegetables stopped.
"You also know that grandparents are not in good health now, but they always have concerns in their hearts when they haven't seen their great-grandchildren. Those old comrades-in-arms of your grandfather, grandchildren can now go to school." The old lady's tone is still not anxious. It didn't slow down, it happened to press on Lu Ying's heart like a stone, making her feel breathless.
Since the old lady had spoken, Yu Lan didn't bear it either. "Don't say grandparents are anxious, my mother's heart is even more anxious. When you got married, I bought more than ten sets of children's clothes and put them there. It's been two years, and you just didn't let me get what I wanted."
Lu Ying's hand holding the chopsticks trembled, trying to say something, but she couldn't say a word.
How to say
Tell them that although she and Mu Beicheng are under the same roof, in fact, Mu Beicheng only comes back once a month? Still told them that even if Mu Beicheng came back, he would never look at her as his wife, let alone give birth to a child.
Even on the wedding night, he was drunk and fell asleep on the sofa.
In the past two years, how many times has she tried to get close to him, and even put down her body to beg him, but the result? The result was only his sneer, and a sentence: "Lu Ying, don't insult yourself!"
"Mom, I... We will work hard." Putting down the chopsticks, she finally squeezed out such a sentence.
Mu Haoyu looked around the crowd, his expression slightly cool.
Mu Xin couldn't help but sneered. Yu Lan glanced at her, "What are you laughing at?"
"Laughing you have lived for most of your life and haven't lived to understand it." Mu Xin said while scooping soup for the old man, and said leisurely: "Back then, a good girl in Xiaoguo gave Beicheng a baby. It has been several months, you all. I don’t even look at it. Now it’s all right... The kid is gone, and you can’t count on it.”
"What nonsense are you talking about!" As soon as I couldn't expect anything, Yu Lan's expression changed and she scolded her daughter.
Mu Xin closed his mouth.
Over there, Lu Ying couldn't listen anymore, clutching the edge of the table tightly with both hands, and stood up, "Sorry, I'm a little uncomfortable. I'll go back now."
After all, regardless of the ugly faces of all the elders, he grabbed the bag and ran away sullenly.
Jumped into the car, and recalled the scene just now, and all the grievances she had suffered in the past two years, tears burst out all of a sudden after she endured for a long time.
I knew Mu Beicheng wanted to retaliate against him, but... I didn't expect him to be so decisive.
No her, no children... It’s useless to put pressure on anyone...
Painfully lying on the steering wheel, howling. Tired of crying, thinking of the makeup on his face, he raised his head and blushed and rubbed his face in the mirror to touch up makeup. When she traced the eyeliner, she saw the wrinkles floating on the corners of her eyes. She shook her hand, clutching the mirror in panic, and leaning closer in disbelief.
wrinkle
Wrinkles appeared on her face!
She maintained her skin all the time, spent a lot of money and experience, just to let him take a look at herself, but...
Still can't stop the invasion of wrinkles.
She is 27 years old...
Turns out to be 27 years old! A 27-year-old woman is already married and married to Mu Beicheng. How many people envy this? But... Why does she feel so desolate
If you drag on like this day by day, will you be waiting for more wrinkles day by day, or... Can't you see the depression and darkness of your head
The night is getting dark.
Inside the building, the lights are still burning in the office. Most of the time, he slept directly in the office lounge.
Lu Ying's phone rang again and again, and when Mu Beicheng got bored, he pulled the board off without hesitation. In the next minute, Chen Qian had knocked on the door of the office—after giving birth, she came back here again and returned to her original post.
Mu Beicheng leaned in the swivel chair and looked down at the dim lights that had risen downstairs. The colorful world reflected in the deep eyes was boundless loneliness. Hearing the movement, he didn't look back, but said: "Let's get off work first, the kids at home are still waiting for you."
"You too. Rest early." Chen Qian nodded, glanced at his lonely back, and remembered something: "By the way, I just received a call, and an important client will arrive here tomorrow. Would you like to see it in person? "
"About what time?"
"At three o'clock in the afternoon."
Three o'clock
He raised his eyebrows, took the itinerary and glanced at it, "Tomorrow the ticket to City Z is 3:20."
"If you want to meet the other party, I will try to postpone the ticket a little bit later." Chen Qian said.
Mu Beicheng shook his head and refused, "No trouble, there will be no problem with Xu Lei. There are still many things waiting for me to do in Z City."
"That's good." Chen Qian nodded and turned around to go out. Going to the door, remembering what happened just now, he said: "Mr. Mu, I don't know if I should tell you something."
Mu Beicheng turned around and looked up at her. She pursed her lips and said, "Miss Lu said that I will let you go back."
Mu Beicheng's face was expressionless, "Don't pay attention to her. Go out."
Chen Qian knew how bad the relationship between their husband and wife was. It has been more than a year since the day she returned to the company, but almost never saw Mr. Mu smile from the heart. Sometimes Chen Qian couldn't help but ask Chen Jiu, what has he experienced during his absence for more than a year, and why he let the former Mu Shao go forever.
The answer Chen Jiu gave was just the simplest sentence: I lost the one that I can't lose, and I got the one I didn't want.
In fact, life is often so helpless.
Sighing, Chen Qian said: "Mr. Mu, she left a word, saying that if you don't go back, she will break the jade bracelet."
Jade bracelet
Mu Beicheng's face was stunned, only two words popped out gloomily between his thin lips, "She dare!"
The so-called new house.
The woman with disheveled hair, wearing silk pajamas, leaned dejectedly on the bar.
"Why hang up my phone? Who do you think you are? Why don't you answer my call?!" Lu Ying was drunk, and slammed the phone against the wall violently, hearing the ripped voice ringing in the night, feeling more and more desolate.
In the past two years of marriage, she stayed alone in this empty big house, like a cold cage. Her heart was full of grievances, but she did not dare to tell anyone. In front of his mother, they can only pretend to be strong, and in front of Lu Feng, they pretend to be happy.
How could her proud self-esteem make them look down on themselves
However, these things can fool them, but they can't fool themselves.
Seeing classmates and friends in pairs at the banquet, even a family of three, she can only feel sad. Today, she is worse than single. If she could have a child of her own, she wouldn't look so lonely and pitiful, but, it happened...
Mu Beicheng...
How can he do this to himself? how can!
Tightening the delicate brocade box and looking at the bright diamond ring, she smiled idiotically and burst into tears. There was hatred and unwillingness in his eyes.
He was so generous, even the ring was prepared for Mo Xiaoguo, but why wouldn't he even give it to himself? She is his real wife, why would he refuse to give her a child!
He poured himself another glass of wine and drank it with his head up. Take the ring out of the brocade box and put it inch by inch on the ring finger of his right hand. The fingers are white and slender, really beautiful, but they have remained empty in the past two years. Now... This ring belongs to her!
He took the jade bracelet into his hand again, but the next second he was snatched away by a big palm.
She turned back and saw Mu Beicheng standing behind her with a solemn face. His face was expressionless, and his face was several times colder than the temperature of the air at the moment.
"Take off the ring!" he ordered coldly.
Lu Ying wanted to laugh.
Look, when it comes to jade bracelets and rings, he will come back. She can't save him... But the woman's things can easily hold his footsteps! !
"Very beautiful?" She didn't take it. Instead, she proudly raised her hand, falling under the light, and showing it in front of him, "Look, this size diamond fits my hand, right? It's not too big, no It looks abrupt. It's not small, not so stingy..."
Mu Beicheng was also not angry, but looked at her mockingly, "Lu Ying, do you want me to show you a mirror to show you how embarrassed you are now?"
Lu Ying's face turned pale, her raised hand froze in the air. Looking at him angrily, she was full of mockery, and she raised her hand to slap him angrily. He grabbed her hand one step faster, and in the next instant, he pulled out the ring accurately.
When the ring reached the joint, it stuck a little bit, but he didn't even pause for a moment, and used force mercilessly. The ring immediately rubbed a red mark on the snow-white finger. In fact, it wasn't very painful, but Lu Ying's eyes were red immediately, and her tears did not stop.
"Mu Beicheng, you are too much!" She broke down emotionally, and squeezed his fist with the help of alcohol to beat him. As if to vent all the grievances and injustices I have suffered during this period of time.
Mu Beicheng took the brocade box into his pocket, and then squeezed her frantically waving fists. He slammed her off almost rudely.
Lu Ying was already drunk, and her feet were unstable. After being shaken, she staggered and collapsed on the sofa. Mu Beicheng looked at her coldly, "Don't go crazy in front of me!"
His body slammed into the sofa, and the pain was terrible. But she has no way to feel at this moment, no amount of pain, no amount of hurt as much as the pain in her heart.
