Fall in love with your enemy

Next time, when my brother left the wedding scene, it turned out that he was not just depressed about a marriage with no future in sight. In any case, he still fulfilled his responsibilities as a husband in everything he could, but what happens in the future still depends on him. Face it yourself with your sister-in-law.

I can't get involved in the young couple's affairs, and I can't comment on them. I can only be myself. So I went home and had a good rest for a day, taking all the medicines that were useful or not, at least to ensure that I would be energetic before the wedding tomorrow.

The house is busy when we get up early in the morning. My brother is the eldest son of the Fu family. No matter how urgent the wedding is, it will be grand. But I am the eldest daughter of the Fu family, and I am separated from the second family to a certain extent but closely connected. , my existence must be a huge topic in this wedding. Compared with the glory of the entire family, Zheng Lin's death is not worth mentioning at all.

So even if it was my biological mother who died, it didn't matter, even if I was suffocated by the bloody red and confused white, it was the same.

Li Xi had already prepared the dress for me to wear at today's wedding banquet, with various patterns and bright colors. I don't love Zheng Lin, but it is still necessary to observe filial piety, so I picked and picked out only one of them. A sky blue halterneck dress and a light blue cheongsam with a white shawl were placed aside, basically ignoring Li Xi's strong doubts and shock.

"Just these two pieces." I patted the hem of the dress and found a black dress from the closet and put it on: "I have something to do and I won't go in the morning. I will come back around noon to change clothes. You can prepare yourself. As for the headwear, it’s better to keep it simple, otherwise you won’t be able to catch up.”

"This..." Li Xi picked up the two dresses and looked around carefully. After a long time, he looked up in disbelief: "Miss, are you sure? So plain!"

"I'm so dressed up. Should I go to my brother's wedding or steal the bride's spotlight?" I smiled helplessly.

"But Master Shuchen's wedding is also very important to you, isn't it? Now the outside world is watching, who will be the new heir, you or the young master? They can't figure out the real meaning, so they can only look at the dresses of you and the young master. Have you looked at your situation at home? Of course the dress must look good, right? And the color I chose isn’t very dark either.”

Li Xi dangled the light purple one in front of my eyes, but when I saw that I was unmoved, it was pink and sapphire blue. In the end, he was sweating profusely, and he put his hands on his hips and took out a tissue to wipe it.

"Miss, to be honest, I really didn't like other dresses, so I picked those two to make up the number. I didn't expect you to really like them! Then those ones are light in color and have no patterns at all. What's the point? Yes? Just say that I have chosen the purple one and the jewelry. With that pearl necklace, you will definitely stun everyone. Don’t think about stealing the limelight. I’ll see the young lady’s wedding dress and jewelry. After all, this wardrobe-sized box can’t fit even one, and yours is only one box, so it won’t be too much..."

"Stop thinking nonsense. There is news from the Han family that Chengcheng is ill. He started to have a fever last night and won't come back no matter how hard he calls. He may not come to the wedding today. Why should we compete?" I chuckled. He smiled, picked up a corner of the dress and touched it, then smiled comfortingly at Li Xi: "My status and situation are not in these things. Even if those gossips want to think about it, these clothes are not cheap. Plus Ke Yi is supporting me behind the scenes, they don’t dare to write nonsense.”

"Are you really sure? Okay then..." Li Xi put the other dresses into the cabinet, and the two dresses I selected were hung in the bedroom. Suddenly something occurred to him, and Li Xi turned around suddenly: "Ms. , By the way, where are you going? You are still dressed so dejectedly, it would not be a good thing if you were photographed, my family will tell you. When will you be back? "

"You don't have to worry about where I'm going. My brother knows that. There's no trouble yet. I'll hurry up and go out through the back door. I'll be back around ten o'clock. If anyone asks you, just say I'm not feeling well and just lie down for a while." I said. Then he immediately got up and left.

The weather is good today. My second uncle looked at the date and said it was suitable for marriage. I didn’t check whether it was also suitable for cremation, but it’s not that important. Liang Sen was waiting at the door to pick me up early. I didn’t tell him yesterday. , he looked like he had been angry all night, with dark circles under his eyes, but it was not ruled out that Ke Ke did something after a long separation.

This guy didn't know which muscle he had recently, and he suddenly started to quit smoking. After asking, he found out that it was Ke Ke who was pregnant. He didn't want his child to be taught that his father was a big smoker.

Either of these two things is a rare good thing. It's a pity that I can't say or express anything except congratulations. Liang Sen seemed to be a little sadder than me, so he didn't say anything else until When we arrived at the funeral home, deafening cries could be heard one after another. I froze at the door, and Liang Sen poked me and handed me a tissue.

I realized that I was crying, and the tears were falling down drop by drop, but in fact I didn’t feel any sadness. Maybe I was infected by the atmosphere here, so I felt like this unconsciously. I wiped it and patted Liang Sen. The arms let him not worry.

I sent a message, and Ji Bin quickly came out to greet me. What I didn't expect was that Gao Xinci also came out with him. Did Shang Mingyu's body also choose to be cremated today? I didn't know it, but Gao Xinci just stepped forward and held my hand without saying anything.

I first turned my attention to Ji Bin: "Where is her body? Has it been cremated?"

"Not yet. You haven't arrived yet. We need family members to come over." Ji Bin rubbed his swollen eyes and looked like he had been crying all night. He was stunned for a long time before he thought of what to say: "I said time is tight, let me They put on makeup first, it should be done soon.”

Just as we were talking, the staff here came out and called us, so a group of dead people followed them to the memorial area. I poked my head in front of the coffin, and Zheng Linjie had been cleaned up and put on her shroud. I put on makeup and was still crying. The moment I saw her, I closed my eyes and turned away, indicating that I could push into the cremation furnace.

I can’t tell you what I feel, but my whole body is stiff, as if it’s not Zheng Linjie but me who should be lying in the coffin. I even thought that if it weren’t for the regulations in this place, I wouldn’t want to waste time on a funeral. So the masters who were invited to save her were directly called here, and they could do whatever the gongs and drums were supposed to do.

When the raging fire roared, it felt like a piece was missing in my heart.

"You should have told me yesterday." Gao Xinci squeezed my palm and said softly, "At least, I can come over and stay with you."

He didn't look at me, he just looked at the fire with an expressionless expression. I stared blankly, and after a long time my eyes returned to the stove: "Is she really dead?" I paused, and Gao Xinci She seemed a little surprised, and finally turned back to look at me, but I was still wondering: "Is she really dead? She will never come back. I will never see her again."

"From time to time..."

"Don't worry, I'm not sad, I just don't know what to say."

I also turned back to look at him. Gao Xinci let out a long sigh, thought about it, and gently held me in his arms: "It's okay, it's all over."

"Xin Ci, do you know how you felt when your father died?" I said after a long pause.

Gao Xinci was stroking my hair and thinking for a long time before replying: "I stopped loving him a long time ago. When he abandoned me and my mother twelve years ago, I knew I didn't love him anymore. But yesterday, I still cried when the news came from the government asking me to identify the body. I didn’t go to see him. Zuo Qiao went there on my behalf and told me that he was really dead. The estimated time of death was half a year old. Months ago, probably when he came to see you, he was killed by William. After being soaked in the river for so long, the body was so rotten that he could only be identified by the jewelry and clothes on his body. The official asked me to come over. Actually, I wanted to compare DNA, but I didn’t go.”

Gao Xinci actually laughed as he spoke, his eyes were red, and he told me a hellish joke.

"But I still didn't go to see him. Zuo Qiao came back and took my sample. I didn't see him. I couldn't even remember the last time I saw him. I won't see him again in the future. Gao Xinci choked with sobs, and soon wiped away his tears stubbornly.

"He came to me and asked me a question after telling me to block the road south of the river. He asked me if I would take good care of you. Even so, even if he died for you, you wouldn't Do you forgive him?" I raised my head and reached out to wipe Gao Xinci's tears, but they still couldn't stop falling.

Gao Xinci chuckled and shook his head: "I don't hate him, so I don't forgive him. I don't love him, and I don't care what he did for me. Sometimes, maybe you think my heart is too cruel. After a betrayal, I can no longer make waves, but that’s the kind of person I am. I can’t change my personality and emotions. I did shed tears for him, and I did call him father, but in my heart, he is just a , familiar stranger. I am numb."

"Numb?" I was stunned when I heard this word, let go of Gao Xinci's arms, and looked at the burning stove: "Maybe this is the feeling I have been thinking about, numb." After a long time, I sighed quietly. He took a breath and turned to look at Ji Bin: "What are you going to do for the funeral?"

Ji Bin was still in a daze, staring at the stove intently. He seemed to have aged a lot overnight. Liang Sen reminded him before he came back to his senses. He took a breath and said, "I don't have any objection to you. Or, if you don't want to Just leave it to me, and when I'm done, just come over and watch."

"I contacted some masters from Chaodu last night and asked Feng Shizhi to give you their contact information. You can go ahead and tell me. I think her first seven days is a suitable day to bury her. The day before, I went to cancel her household registration. First seven days Let’s have a funeral.” I thought for a while and said, not sure if Ji Bin listened, but he nodded and I ignored him.

When it was almost nine o'clock, the ashes were cleared out. Liang Sen asked people to sweep the ashes into the Nanyang red sandalwood urn. Ji Bin hugged him and refused to let go. I didn't bother to care about him. I just decided to do it when nothing happened. I went home to change my clothes and hurried to my brother’s wedding. But before I even took a step forward, someone behind me tapped my shoulder. When I looked back, I saw that he was holding a bouquet of chrysanthemums and wearing a simple black suit. Uncle Hou.

Because of Aunt Wen Su and Xiang Yang, I still disliked him somewhat, and just thought he was just there to show off. At any rate, he and Zheng Lin pretended to know each other before, so I didn’t say anything polite or say anything, I just got out of the way. He said, he was probably quite surprised. He stood there for a moment before stepping forward, next to the urn... No, Ji Bin was holding the urn. Uncle Hou frowned and thought about it, so he could only bring it The flowers were placed on the table next to Ji Bin.

Ji Bin came back to his senses and put the urn down for a while. After greeting Uncle Hou, Uncle Hou bowed to the urn, then walked back to me, smiled and hit me with his elbow: "Tsk , Nasty girl, what are you talking about, why are you angry with me? I'm not your father, my wife and my son didn't say anything about me, why are you looking for trouble for yourself? "

"Uncle Hou, are you thinking too much? Why should I be angry?" I turned my head and looked at Lao Hou's slightly guilty eyes. After staring for a long time, I sighed and sneered, and said word by word: "After all, You can’t expect me to laugh out loud when I see you here at the place where my mother was cremated, right?”

Lao Hou pursed his lips, thought about it but stopped laughing, and just handed me the bag in his hand: "I'm not here to cause trouble. You left this in the hospital yesterday. My Xiangyang rushed to attend the wedding to give it to you. As a cover, I have to send it over."

After seeing the things in Uncle Hou's hands, I remembered that they were two relics left by Zheng Lin before she pretended to die. Yesterday's incident was so sudden that I had forgotten these two things. I took it and took out the two things inside to put them into the bag. Unfortunately, the bag I took today was too small. Except for the two mobile phones, it was difficult to put anything else. After the first box was put in, what happened to the other one? Can't even fit in.

I was a little upset, so I tried a little harder, thinking that the worst possible thing would break the bag. I was also a little annoyed with the bag, so I tried a little harder, thinking that the worst possible thing would be that I would no longer be its owner, so the box fell out and emanated from the ground. There was a crisp sound, and the contents inside rolled twice and entered under the table.

"Hey, be careful, you can't pretend to hold it with your hands." Uncle Hou muttered as he went up to pick it up, squatted down in front of the table and fished it out. He stopped halfway when he stood up. For a moment, his expression seemed extremely shocked, and he was shocked. As if he couldn't stand upright for a long time, he looked back at me without moving his head, looking diagonally behind him. I followed his gaze and saw that it was Liang Sen who was on the phone.

"What's wrong?" I asked with some confusion.

Uncle Hou breathed a sigh of relief as if he had just woken up from a dream. He took the ring and looked it up in the light. He quickly handed it to me and said with a very serious look on his face: "This is what your mother left for you. Take it carefully." Don't lose it. Take a look often and think about people when you see things." He seemed to have said the last eight words deliberately, but when I looked up, his expression was still the same as before.

"It's not for me, it's for my dad. I forgot about it for a moment." I felt a little disappointed and wanted to put it away, but at this moment, Uncle Hou suddenly grabbed my wrist again.

"It's just for you, keep it." Uncle Hou lowered his voice and his expression changed slightly. I have never seen him say something so sure. He seemed very nervous, and his facial muscles were trembling.

"Uncle Hou, what's wrong with you?" I was a little frightened. I took the ring and looked at it carefully, but I really couldn't understand anything.

Lao Hou paused, let out a sudden breath, and changed his smile: "Nothing, I just thought, I have seen this thing before, it is your father and mother's token of love, I thought They are both divorced. Your dad is not a good person. He will definitely not cherish this thing anymore. He might as well keep it in your hands as a souvenir. Ang, just listen to me. I won’t be sure about your brother’s wedding. If people think nonsense, I will go over there first and leave."

"Eh..." I wanted to ask something else, but Uncle Hou had already left as fast as he could.

There is absolutely no way this ring is a token of love between Lao Fu and Zheng Lin. Zheng Lin pretended to say it herself, and Lao Fu bought it after they had been married for a while, so I don’t agree with what Uncle Hou said, but for this I'm just curious about the ring, it's nothing compared to my brother's wedding.

Lao Hou reminded me about the wedding. Zheng Lin pretended that there wasn’t much left to do here, so she told Ji Bin a few words. Gao Xinci and I quickly went home to change clothes and headed towards the wedding venue. .
