Chapter 633: A Useless Card
Just as I was about to speak, Xue Bing shook her hand at me, signaling me not to make a sound.
She walked past me, her eyes sweeping over me. I read the meaning in her eyes and stood up, following her to the balcony.
Xu Mengda's club had a wide balcony. Standing on the balcony, one could take half of the provincial capital of the Central Province into view.
The last ray of sunlight was drifting away in the twilight. As the sunlight faded, the lights followed. This city exuded a breath completely different from the daytime in the colorful lights. The city seemed to wake up again after a short nap. During the day, he was like a man in a hurry, and at night, she turned into a woman with all kinds of styles. The ever-changing lights dressed her up to be charming to the bone.
The night wind was cool. Standing on a high building to watch the scenery, I also became someone else's scenery.
After being silent for a while, Xue Bing asked me, "Are you okay?"
I smiled, "Okay."
"I heard you gave birth to a son?" Xue Bing looked at the lights in the distance, and a trace of loneliness spread on her face.
I nodded and said, "Called Niannian, after the New Year, he will be one year old."
"If our child was still here, he should be eight years old now." She said lightly, but still couldn't hide the painful expression.
My heart tightened, and I asked, "Teacher Xue, what do you mean by this?"
Xue Bing stared at me resentfully, and after a long time, said word by word, "When Huang Weiwei came to find me, I was already pregnant with your child. She said, if I don't give you up, you will live in the countryside like a farmer for the rest of your life. As long as I let go, she can let you live the life you want."
"Are you for me?" I asked hesitantly.
"Of course not entirely for you. If I give you up, I can also live the life I want." Xue Bing smiled lightly and said, "Look at me now, it's very good. Social status is there, and what I want to learn is learned."
"What else did Huang Weiwei say to you?" My heart felt like it was cut by a sharp blade, and the blood was flowing wantonly.
"She is your wife now. Even if she said something, did something, as long as she loves you, everything can pass, don't you think?"
"No!" I was almost furious.
"You seem to be very easy to lose your temper now." She smiled lightly and said, "In the past, you weren't like this, you were afraid of stepping on ants when walking."
I sighed long and lowered my head.
"You came this time, it was Mengda who asked you to come, right?"
I nodded and took out a cigarette to light it.
A look of disgust appeared on her face, as if she was very unaccustomed to me smoking.
My heart felt a loss. When I was in Suxi Township, every time I smoked, she would fight to light it for me. She said that lighting a cigarette for a man is a woman's happiness. If a man doesn't smoke, he will lose his masculine spirit. The faint smell of tobacco on a man is a smell that will make women fascinated.
I pinched out the cigarette, rubbed the fingers, and let the tobacco shreds fall between the fingers.
"Quit it! It's not good for the child." Xue Bing said lightly, her eyes falling on a high building in the distance. A row of huge neon lights stood on the roof of the high building, reflecting the sky into a piece of red.
"Teacher Xue!" I called, "What did you just say? Our child?"
Xue Bing corrected me, "You call me Teacher Xue, isn't it awkward? Or just call me Bing'er."
"No!" I refused her, "Now you are no longer Bing'er. If I call you like this, I have a sense of guilt."
Xue Bing laughed, whispered, "If you really have a sense of guilt, you jump down from here."
Seeing that she wasn't joking, my heart tightened. My eyes drifted to the pitch-black piece under my feet, which was simply bottomless. If I jumped down from here, I would not only become a pile of meat, but also have my soul scattered.
"Don't dare to jump?" She looked at me provocatively and said, "Do you want me to jump with you?"
I shook my hands and said, "I can jump, you can't."
She put away her smile and said expressionlessly, "Mengda asked you to come over to discuss the wedding, because I said, I want to marry out from your house."
"What do you mean?" I asked in confusion.
"Do you agree or not?"
"Brother Xu didn't tell me."
"If you don't agree, don't even think about getting the old man's approval."
"What if I agree?"
"From now on, you and I are strangers." After she finished this sentence, she turned and floated into the room, leaving me standing alone on the balcony, letting the night wind mess up my hair.
She wants to marry out from my house? Is she marrying out as a widow? Or as someone who really wants to end a relationship?
She marrying out from my house doesn't make sense in reason or emotion. Not to mention that I am unwilling, even Huang Weiwei, if she heard such a request, wouldn't she jump up?
But if I don't agree to her, the old man Xu Da's approval will really not reach my hands. Xue Bing is a person who does what she says. She can exhaust her thoughts for a goal, and can also do whatever it takes to achieve her purpose.
The approval of Xu Da didn't reach my hands, my first card was really a useless card.
The most taboo thing about playing cards is to have a useless card in a hand of good cards. A useless card can ruin a hand of good cards, and a useless card can make people fall into an abyss of eternal damnation.
I started to be in a mess, evil! I muttered, thinking of Huang Weiwei in Hengyue City, and a warmth couldn't help but spread in my heart.
Xue Bing said, she aborted the child for me. She is murdering! I shouted in my heart.
If this is true, isn't Huang Weiwei the culprit? Or is she an accomplice? Because of her appearance, I strangled a small life in the womb.
I was frantic, and my heart felt as heavy as if it were filled with lead.
The club no longer receives guests now. Xu Mengda once told me that after he gets married, he will turn the club into an art creation center, letting Xue Bing become the owner of the creation center.
The club was silent. Duanmu has also rarely appeared in the club during this period. I suddenly felt infinite desolation and loneliness.
Coming out of the balcony, I picked up the tea that had cooled on the tea table and poured it into my throat.
I decided to play the second card.
Playing cards is also exercise, and exercise requires warming up the body.
Standing downstairs, I took out my phone and started calling Lin Xiaoxi.
Hearing my voice, Lin Xiaoxi was very surprised and very suspicious, doubting my statement that I came to the provincial capital.
I said the address and moved the phone away from my ear, letting the sound of people in the provincial capital of the Central Province pass to her through the receiver.
People in the provincial capital speak dialect, and this dialect once became the national language in a certain period.
She finally believed that I was in the provincial capital and asked me to go to her house, where she was waiting for me.
I asked, "Is it convenient?"
"Of course, this depends on the person." She laughed softly in the receiver: "If someone else wants to come, it's definitely not convenient."
"I'm really coming." I said.
"Whatever!" She scolded: "Come if you want, don't come if you don't want."
I made up my mind several times, but still decided not to go to her house. Strictly speaking, this card of Lin Xiaoxi is not my second card. She should be my last card.
If this card is played, my only ending is that I can only win and not lose.
If I win, the sun is bright; if I lose, I will die miserably!
But if I don't play this card now, I seem to have no cards to play.
I played two hands of cards in succession. The first hand was pressed on Gan Lu, and I lost, losing very thoroughly. She got what she wanted and returned to the dynasty, while I lost completely and was bruised all over.
The second hand was pressed on Xu Mengda. It was originally a matter of course, but who expected Xue Bing to kill halfway, which made me at a loss, flustered, and headless.
This card of Xu Mengda, as long as it is played, may not be a killing move, but at least it can change the game.
A small car stopped beside me. Just as I was about to turn sideways to avoid it, the car window came down, revealing a round face of Deng Hanyuan, who shouted loudly: "Monitor, monitor."
He beckoned to me, his face glowing with health.
I walked over and saw the woman who scolded me as a "country bumpkin" at a glance, and felt a disgust in my heart, turning my head and wanting to walk away.
Deng Hanyuan ran a few steps to catch up, hugged me, and said: "Monitor, where are you going?"
I shook my head and said: "Not going anywhere, walking around and looking."
"Alone on the street, not a hooligan or a ruffian." He chuckled, dragging my hand and saying: "Let's go for a drink."
I waved my hand and said: "Don't go. I'm a country bumpkin, I'm not used to drinking foreign wine."
"Who said you are a country bumpkin?" Deng Hanyuan looked at me in surprise, suddenly understood something, let go of my hand, ran back to the car in a few steps, dragged the woman out, pushed her in front of me, and scolded: "Rotten goods, apologize to my big brother."
I didn't expect him to do this, and suddenly felt embarrassed.
Because of his dragging, the woman's clothes looked messy. At this time, standing in front of me, she no longer had the arrogance of the past, trembling and not daring to look up at me.
I smiled bitterly and said: "Brother Deng, why bother."
Deng Hanyuan laughed loudly: "Wife is like clothes, brother is like hands and feet. Besides, it's not my wife, even if it's my wife, if she offends my brother, I will make her die without a burial place."
I waved my hand and said: "Brother Deng, you go get busy. I'll go back after walking."
Deng Hanyuan smiled: "Brother, don't get angry. This matter of yours, let me see if I can think of a way for you."
I looked at him in surprise and asked: "Do you know what matter I have?"
Deng Hanyuan smiled unfathomably, took my hand and said: "Put aside the worries for now, drink until you are proud and then return to the dynasty. There must be a way when the car reaches the mountain!" ===== CHAPTER 634 =====
