[Ode to Joy] My surname is Tan, my ancestor's original surname is Ming

Those who love each other have a tacit understanding, she can feel his helplessness and despair, and he can also feel her steadfast persistence.Their kiss was lingering and sad, and when they parted, Wang Manchun couldn't bear to open his eyes.

The electric wheelchair gradually drove down the path and left Haizhu Square along the sidewalk.Wang Manchun turned around quietly, the back of the wheelchair was upright, but in her eyes, there was an indescribable bleakness.

October is almost over, it is autumn after all.

Wang Manchun walked through Haizhu Square, walked on the Haizhu Bridge, and walked to the viewing platform.The viewing platform faces west, and when you look up, it looks like the setting sun of blood, gradually sinking and getting darker, and when you hang your head down, the river water is like a practice, sparkling with thousands of points.

In 1956, in the same autumn, the injured Mingcheng came to the end of his life. The 14-year-old Cui Jinglou climbed the Shanghai-Zhuhai Bridge and scattered his ashes into the Pearl River bit by bit.The water flows eastward and has remained unchanged since ancient times, but the cities on both sides of the Pearl River have undergone earth-shaking changes.Wang Manchun stood alone on the viewing platform. She came to see Mingcheng, but she couldn't see Mingcheng. After 60 years, there was no trace of him here.

"Mingcheng, thank you." She said silently in her heart, "Thank you for accompanying my senior brother to the end, thank you for witnessing his toughness, thank you for making my rebirth without regrets."

She took a deep breath of the damp and cool river breeze, and felt light and empty in her heart after being relieved. The entanglement of grievances and grievances in the previous life was finally over, and she could completely break off with the Ming family.

From now on, she will be Fan Shengmei who has no past lives, no burdens, can take big strides and move forward lightly.

She took out her mobile phone and found the WeChat message that Boss Fan had sent her. It was more than a dozen photos of Fanfan Hotel after renovation.The name of Fanfan Restaurant was given by the cashier sent by Tan Zongming.Don't look at that little brother as just a cashier, in fact, he is proficient in financial business, has multiple skills, and is a very capable talent. From site selection to decoration to recruiting, he has a part in everything.Thinking of him, Wang Manchun, was a little discouraged. Here he broke up with Tan Zongming without hesitation, while his subordinates were still running errands for the Fan family. It was not easy to eat cheaply.But the two of them have been inextricably linked up to this day, and it is not easy to cut them off once.

"Xiaomei, the restaurant is scheduled to open on November [-]th. Aren't you going to take the exam on the [-]th and [-]th? It just won't delay." Boss Fan's WeChat voice was cheerful and full of expectations, "Well, can Mr. Tan come over? He If you can come, our hotel will have face..."

"He can't come, I'll go alone."

"Oh..." Boss Fan was a little disappointed, but after the car accident, he never dared to go to Tan Zongming directly. When I come to Nantong again, I will definitely take him there to have a meal, write an inscription, and take a photo, that's about it.

Wang Manchun didn't care about Boss Fan's inner drama.As soon as she hung up the phone, an old couple came over and asked her to help take pictures.Wang Manchun is helping them adjust the camera parameters, while the old couple is arguing with each other one sentence at a time. Your hair is fine, so don’t mess it up. If it doesn’t work, the wind will mess it up and I have to comb it again. Hurry up, little girl. Be in a hurry, I'm fast enough and you will know the rush...

Wang Manchun watched with great interest the old couple bickering endlessly, and they finally stopped arguing. The two stood side by side, head to head, and smiled together under Wang Manchun's orders of "one, two, three." Wang Manchun was inexplicably envious of the identical expressions of husband and wife.

She has lived two lifetimes but has not aged yet. I don't know who will accompany her to watch the setting sun and dusk, listen to the murmur of the river, and call her an old woman like a mantra when she is gray-haired.

After taking pictures from all angles, Wang Manchun returned the camera to the old couple.The old woman thanked her for her enthusiasm and patience, took out two apples from her bag and stuffed them into her hand, "Eat an apple, you will be safe."

Wang Manchun had no choice but to accept it.The apple was not big enough to fit in a handbag, but she was stunned when she opened it—she saw the dark blue velvet box with the HW logo on it.

She was clearly determined not to want the ring, but she didn't know when it was left by Tan Zongming.

Soon after the proposal, Tan Zongming customized a Harry Winston engagement ring for her, a full three-carat DIF square diamond, with an extraordinary aura. She said that such an exaggerated ring could not be worn at all. Heirloom, in the future it will be left to his daughter-in-law, grand-daughter-in-law, and great-grandson-daughter-in-law. He will buy another pair of wedding rings, one for her and one for him, which are usually worn for self-defense.

This is what he said to wear the pair of rings for self-defense.

Although he had already decided to refuse, Wang Manchun couldn't help but opened the lid of the box.

There are two platinum wire rings, one large and one small, one wide and one narrow. The male model is inlaid with a thin diamond the size of a grain of rice, while the female model is inlaid with 29 broken diamonds along the ring ring with partial pavement.The two rings were staggered by half of the ring body and stood in the velvet box, shining brightly and softly in the setting sun.They specially selected it at the HW Fifth Avenue Main Store in New York. The salesman said that the name of this series was tryst. On a whim, Tan Zongming pushed back the official business for another 24 hours and took her to tryst in Central Park and the Plaza Hotel. A day to commemorate.

She still remembers the early morning when she set off to return to China, the alarm clock rang seven or eight times, and he couldn't get up while lying on the pillow. She went to pull him, but was dragged to the bed by him, hugged by a bear like a human pillow.He said that with her, the spring night is really short, and he doesn't want to go to court early.She hooked his neck and smiled, saying that she didn't want to change the ticket early in the morning.

As a result, Tan Zongming really changed his contract again, and the two didn't go out until noon.On the way back to Shanghai, she was always worried that some of his entourage would come to persuade the boss to stay away from the disaster.

Now they don't have to worry, she and their boss Tan are close to each other.

"Tan Zongming, take your ring back." She didn't have the courage to talk to him on the phone, so she could only send a WeChat message.

"The ring is engraved, I will not take it back." He replied.

It was only then that Wang Manchun noticed that there were faint lines on the inside of the ring.It was dark and she couldn't see clearly, so she could only touch it with her fingertips.

The inner ring of the men's ring is engraved with two handwritten letter Ms, as is the inner ring of the women's ring.

She doesn't like engraving on the ring, so after choosing the style, she didn't plan to engrave it at first.Later he said that it would be better to engrave it, it would be a unique ring, Wang Manchun only said that it is up to you, and let him design it himself.She thought he would engrave their names or initials, but unexpectedly, he only engraved two M's.

Another WeChat message came over, "M is Tan Zongming's Ming, and also the Ming family's Ming. M is Fan Shengmei's beauty, and Wang Manchun's Man."

Whoever you are, whoever I am, identity is not an issue, what matters is that we are together.

Wang Manchun rubbed the two smooth and round letters with mixed feelings.

The twilight grew thicker, and gradually the embroidery patterns on the velvet box could not be seen clearly.She finally picked up the phone and called him, "Tan Zongming, do you think that as long as the ring is engraved and you force it to me, I will definitely accept it?"

"The ring represents a marriage contract. Up to now, I only recognize you as Mrs. Tan. If you don't wear it, I can't force it, but I will never take it back."

"Then what do you want me to do? Put it at home and wait for someone to steal it one day?"

Tan Zongming laughed, "This is up to you."

"Stop making trouble with Tan Zongming." Wang Manchun sighed, "Don't be like a child, this is a ring, not a toy."

"Xiaomei, I never knew why you always said I was like a child." His voice was self-deprecating and sentimental, "I am not a child, I am very serious to you from beginning to end, if this This kind of seriousness makes you feel tired, I apologize. Grandpa is sorry for you, I apologize to you for him, and Ming family for all the harm caused to you, I apologize to you for them. But Xiaomei, there is more than this between us. "

"Don't say..."

"I can not be reconciled."

"I do not want to hear!"

"Xiaomei, you are deceiving yourself."

"none of your business!"

"You are my fiancée!"

"It's long gone!"

"I never agreed!"

"Believe it or not I'm throwing the ring away right now!"

"Little beauty!"

Tan Zongming's voice on the phone suddenly increased, but he had no time to stop it. Wang Manchun had already raised his hand and threw the velvet box far into the vast river.

"Fan Shengmei!" An angry and distressed roar came from outside the line. Wang Manchun turned her head in shock. Tan Zongming, who had dropped his crutches, was stumbling towards her with a stumped leg. Farther away, assistants and nurses hurried down. The car, desperately chasing him in his direction.

No one expected that she really threw their wedding ring into the Pearl River.

Tan Zongming fell to his knees suddenly within a dozen steps, and fell on the road because his knees could not bear the force. The passers-by around him rushed to help him, and the assistant and others rushed to him. He surrounded them, blocking Wang Manchun's view.

She stood there blankly, watching the crowd carry him away, blankly watching the assistant pick up his mobile phone and crutches that had fallen on the ground, turned her head and gave her a resentful look, and then started to chase after him. The crowd drifting away.

The noise of the Haizhu Bridge in the evening peak became more and more noisy, but she was the only one left on the viewing platform.Tan Zongming's car disappeared into the long traffic, like a ring disappearing into the night river.

Why did he force her? He has already turned around, why is he still persistently refusing to let go.She didn't want to be like this either, why can't they be a pair of old friends who talk and laugh happily, just like when they first arrived in Guangzhou.

So it's all fake, it's a forced smile on each other's face, and he's right, there's so much more between them than hurt, apology, or forgiveness.Finally she couldn't pretend anymore, and stepped on his heart in her way, they were even, he didn't have to be humble, she would no longer be arrogant, she felt relieved, but felt heavy, like using a He successfully counterattacked Jedi, but lost both sides.

In the early morning of the next day, Tan Zongming's assistant called her, "Sister Fan, the doctor said that Mr. Tan is not suitable for traveling now, and we need to stay in Guangzhou for one more day. Will you go with us, or go back to Suzhou as originally planned?"

"His knee...is it alright?" The scene of him falling to the ground last night was still vivid in her memory, and now that she thought about it, she couldn't help feeling a little scared.

"It's okay, just take a rest. Don't worry."

"Then... I'd better leave today."

The assistant hesitated to speak.

"Speak up if you have something to say."

"Sister Fan, the conference management company has asked him many times about your wedding with Mr. Tan, and he said that everything will continue, and none of the plans should be cancelled. So if Cathy sends you a wedding dress in a few days, can you ...Don't throw it away, wait for Mr. Tan to get better... When he goes to the United States, I will pick it up from you, don't tell him, just treat it as you, and I will tell him slowly later..."

Loyal little assistant, caring little assistant, they dare not say it, they all blame her in their hearts.

The hand holding the phone trembled a little, and she couldn't say anything except a good word to the nervous and muttering young man.
