MTL - Old Injury-Chapter 21

【Ranunculus and Austin Rose are really two mountains in the flower industry. 】

Ning Shi finally called and said she wanted to meet me.

Old place, old time.

I was so excited that I could finally talk to Youyou, but Ning Shi threw me a cell phone and let me watch the video above.

"What do you mean?" I asked her, "Didn't you agree to make a video call?"

Ning Shi twirled the shining diamond ring in her hand and said indifferently, "Forget that at first you promised me that you would not meet the child until half a year later, and now I have given you so much in advance. After watching his video, if you're not satisfied... that's fine." She was about to take back the phone.

Look at that posture, if I dare to say one more word, let alone meet, even this video she will weigh and give it to me, it is not impossible to get up and leave in the next second.

"No..." I hurriedly grabbed the other end of the phone to prevent her from continuing to move.

Here, I know that I have completely lost in front of her and lost my right to speak.

She is like a skilled chess player. Since she decided to marry Song Bailao, every move has been calculated by her with ease.

When I was voluntarily coerced by her for the sake of my child, I abused my own weakness and gave others a handle. She knew very well that I would not dare to defy her, nor would I have any objection to any of her arrangements. I'm a dog she keeps, and I've always had to obey orders.

Like now, she gave me a video, like a piece of meat and bone, and said: "I could have given you this bone."

I believe she can do what she says, she has always been so cruel and decisive. In her eyes, nothing is more important than being able to live in the upper class, even my son is no exception.

"I'm satisfied, I'm satisfied." I lowered my stance, almost begging her.

She was obviously pleased by my obedience, and soon the disguised displeasure in her eyes disappeared.

"That's right, take it." She took her hand away and showed me the smile that always appeared on her face, like a mask.

I hugged her "reward" and couldn't wait to click on the video on my phone.

The screen swayed for a moment, and a little boy with delicate eyebrows and a light gray sweater appeared in front of me. He stood there with his hands behind his back, looking shyly at the camera.

"Dad, how are you?"

I could have endured it, but when I heard his voice, my nose suddenly became sore and my eyes were burning.

I never had a moment so clearly aware that he was alive, he was real. I had a child and I became a father.

The feeling is amazing, painful and happy.

"I've always missed you." He smiled at the camera, "I want to see you sooner, but grandma said you still have important things to do. You can come and see when you're done. Me? I want to go home with you."

I miss you too…

I held the phone tightly, my heart throbbing, and I have never regretted my decision to be young.

"I'm in school now, and I can recite a lot of poems. Can I sing a song for you?"

He tilted his head and sang the English version of "Little Star" to me.

Although it's a bit out of tune, it's the best "Little Star" I've ever heard in my life.

After singing, he waved at me: "Okay, I'm going to do my homework, goodbye Dad!"

Just five minutes before and after. I pulled the progress bar to the front and restarted playback.

"Dad, how are you..."

After watching it for the second time, I watched it again for the third time, the fourth time, and finally kept repeating the song "Little Star".

Ning Shi rarely let me play it over and over again, and there is no complaint.

Half an hour later, she buttoned the table, as if she had a timer in her heart: "Let's be here today."

Waited for a month, and finally only had this half hour.

I reluctantly touched the image of Youyou on my phone and handed it back to her.

"Wait..." Just as she was about to withdraw her hand, I held her down, touching her body for the first time in seven years.

She frowned, but didn't break free: "What's the matter?"

Seeing that she was unhappy, I let go of my strength and said: "Madam..." After thinking about it, I changed it to a more intimate name, "Mom, you will bring him to see me. ,right?"

Ning Shi stared at me for a moment, watching my heart sink, thinking she was going to go back on her word.

For a long time, just when I couldn't help but speak again, she pulled her hand back a little bit forcefully and stuffed the phone into her small bag.

"Of course." She stood up slowly, "As long as you are obedient."

She pushed the door and left without saying "goodbye".

I sat in the store for another half an hour, until the coffee was completely cold, and then I got up to pay.

"Do you need any help, sir?" The waiter came over and asked me kindly, trying to help me out the door.

I waved my hand: "No, thank you."

Although my ankle is swollen, there is still some dull pain.

A coffee clerk could tell that I was inconvenient, but Ning Shi didn’t ask or mention it from beginning to end. I don't know if she really didn't see it, or if she turned a blind eye and didn't care at all.

On the way back, I asked the driver to make a detour in front of the Xumeiren store. Compared with the long queue last time, the popularity of the store is obviously not as good as before. Chang Xingze and Xiang Ping were not seen, only Xiaozhu and the others were busy.

I told the driver to go down and buy something and let him wait for me in front.

The door of Xu Meiren's shop opened, and several people in the shop said in unison, "Welcome to Xu Meiren!"

When I looked up and saw it was me, all of them had different expressions, and they all stopped there.

"Senior brother," Xiaozhu stared at me blankly, "You are here..."

I pointed to the cake in the window and smiled: "I'm here to buy cake."

She breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and took the plate and food clip: "Which flavor do you want?"

I ordered a few pieces with strawberries and blueberries on top, and Xiaozhu put them on my plate one by one. The rest of the people in the store were always watching me vigilantly and silently, as if I was an unknown creature that invaded their territory. As long as I had something wrong, they would unite and fork me out in one fell swoop.

My heart is a little bitter. Some of these people I don't know, and some are old acquaintances like Xiaozhu. I never thought that one day when I entered Xu Meiren, I would become an unwelcome person.

When paying the money, Xiaozhu hesitated for a long time and asked me, "Brother, do you really want to sue us?"

"'We'?" I said in surprise, "No, I want to sue Xiang Ping and Chang Xingze. It has nothing to do with you or Xu Meiren."

Xiaozhu bit her lip and looked a little sad: "But they represent Xu Meiren. Senior brother, look around, since... ever since you said that you will file a lawsuit, senior brother and brother Xingze I was busy looking for a lawyer to run around, and I didn't even care about the store. If the lawsuit is lost, it will definitely be a big blow to Xu Meiren. This is master's hard work, brother, do you really have the heart to see it go down?"

Her last sentence was a blow to the head.

How can I bear it? Why do I want to go this far? But who gave me a way out and gave me a choice?

"Xiaozhu, do you also believe that I copied Chang Xingze?"

Xiaozhu's eyes were erratic, and he didn't dare to look at me: "I... I naturally believe in you, brother, there must be a misunderstanding here, so I can't... I can't sit down and talk, don't make trouble in court up?"

This happened not two months, but two years.

I looked at Xiaozhu, and my heart suddenly became infinitely tired. I was so tired that I didn’t even want to refute or say a word about this matter.

I am disappointed to the extreme, that is probably the case.

"Don't look for it." I put the money on the checkout counter, picked up the bag of cakes, turned around and left.

Xiaozhu seemed to call me, but I didn't stop.

It will be more than five o'clock to go back to the mountain after a circle around the city. After passing the guard box halfway up the mountain, the security guard said that there was my courier. When I took it, it was Liang Qiuyang who sent it to me.

I made a statement with a really high profile. People like Liang Qiuyang who gossip naturally also got the news. They called me right away to praise me for my work, and I must kill the **** couple. Hollow out their black hearts. Finally, after venting his dissatisfaction with Xiang Ping and his wife, he said that he also had good news to tell me that he had released an album.

, let me understand what is soul shock. I think this is the courier.

Entering the house with express delivery and cake bags, the food is fragrant. I just happened to be back, Song Bailao and the others haven't had dinner yet.

Seeing the familiar paper bag, Song Mo immediately showed a surprised expression, jumped off the chair and rushed towards me.

"Cake!" He stretched out his hand to reach for the bag, looking eager.

I raised the bag a little higher, wanting him to have a good meal and then dessert. Before I could say it, I heard Song Bailao's low voice coming from the direction of the dining table.

"Song Mo."

He was holding his rice bowl, and he didn't look at us at all, but his tone was full of warnings, so Song Mo didn't dare to move.

Song Bailao tapped the two bowls of rice on the table with the tip of his chopsticks: "Come and eat."

Song Mo and I took our legs and walked towards the dining table almost at the same time.

Sister Jiu took the cake and courier from me, I let her cake in the refrigerator, and the album in the courier was taken apart and put in my room.

"Album?" Song Bailao stopped his chopsticks, "Whose?"

I didn't expect him to be interested, so I was stunned: "Liang Qiuyang, you should have met at the wedding, he is a friend of mine."

He slowly swallowed the food in his mouth, and then said again: "Anyway, there is time now, why don't you listen to your friend's album."

He said so, I had no choice but to nod.

Song Bailao didn't seem to match his face with his name until Sister Jiu put the record into the player and came back again with the album case, he stretched out his hand and said, "Show me."

Liang Qiuyang's voice is very recognizable, cool with some misty smoke and dust, like a misty mountain forest on a late autumn morning.

His album is called "Autumn Sun", and the first song is also called "Autumn Sun".

"Oh, it turned out to be him." Song Bailao looked back and forth at the album box, Liang Qiuyang was wearing exquisite makeup on the cover, and the specially elongated eyeliner looked particularly enchanting and charming, "I remember this omega, Your only friend who came to the wedding."

I laughed dryly: "Yes, it's him."

Song Bailao opened the lyrics book after reading the cover: "I am surprised that you can become friends with an omega singer." Suddenly he paused for a moment, and his tone became a little subtle, " Also, he wrote a song for you?"

I almost choked, coughed and drank water, looked up at Song Bailao inexplicably: "What?"

Song Bailao didn't answer me, he focused on reading the lyrics on the page from top to bottom, sneered, and threw the lyrics in front of me.

"The eighth page."

I opened the lyrics book and turned to the eighth page, and found a song called "Yu Yu", the lyrics and songwriters are Liang Qiuyang, and said that the inspiration came from a friend of his...

"He is sullen and sweet, and haunts me at night to lure me into committing crimes." Song Bailao's emotionless voice read out one of the lyrics word for word.

I was stunned for a while, then quickly explained to him: "It's not what you think, or... We used to be roommates, and sometimes I would bring back some cookies and cakes that the store couldn't sell at night..."

Most of the things I did after the live broadcast were cleaned up by Liang Qiuyang. He always called me a devil and lured him to gain weight.

"Roommate? Do you live together?"

"Yes, we lived for several years..."

The air pressure on the dining table was a little lower, Song Mo sat in the baby chair, looked at us uneasily, and stopped eating.

Song Bailao's expression seems to have just enjoyed a bad game. The poor skills of the two sides made him have a lot of vicious things to say, but because it was too bad, he couldn't say anything. In the end, he could only do it simply and rudely. Summarize.

"Don't interact with him in the future."

He behaves like a dictatorial monarch, I may have some patience to deal with it at other times, but not today, I am too tired today.

I held the chopsticks in my hand tightly, endured and endured, and finally I couldn't help putting it on the table. The chopsticks collided with the tabletop, making a slight noise.

I looked him in the eyes and said, "I said, we are just friends."

His attitude seems to have the evidence that Liang Qiuyang and I are shameful, and the cause is just because of... a song?

"I don't care whether you are friends or lovers. Your current status is no longer suitable for dealing with him. If you insist on showing a gap to attract flies to bite, don't blame me for being ugly." Regarding my "resistance", Song Bailao's attitude did not change, and he was still tough, "If you cause trouble again, Luo Qinghe will let you go, and I will not let you go."

I looked at him and opened my mouth, the weakness and exhaustion that I had when facing Xiaozhu reappeared.

From Ning Shi, Xiaozhu, to Song Bailao, these people lined up to attack me and sing the opposite.

There is nothing covering me, but I feel like I can hardly breathe.

They dragged me, with cold words and contempt, attacking my renewed enthusiasm and hope, making me sink into the cold mud again.

It turned out that it didn't take a lot, three people would be able to defeat me.

Looking at Song Bailao's icy eyes, I knew he couldn't give in. He won't back down for me, and I don't have the ability to let him back down.

I clenched my fists, I stood up abruptly, ran upstairs without saying a word, and halfway up I heard Song Mo's kitten-like cry. Some couldn't bear it, but after a moment of hesitation, there was no turning back.

I locked myself in the room without turning on the light, and fell on the bed. At first, I tried to think of happy things to keep myself from indulging in negative emotions, only to find that almost every happy episode ended up being a regrettable, sad event.

My child is under the control of my biological mother, my little sister said that it has been a misunderstanding for two years, and my partner made me break off with the only friend...

What kind of a miserable world is this?

I rolled up the quilt and tried to fall asleep. In a daze, I heard a low sound of a sports car engine downstairs.

After a while, there was a knock on the door, completely awakening my wandering consciousness.

"Mr. Ning, you haven't eaten much just now. Would you like to bring you something to eat?"

I turned over, too lazy to move: "No, I'm not hungry."

"Okay." Sister-in-law Jiu didn't leave directly, but stood at the door for a while and then said, "Mr. left just now and said that he wants to live back to Xiasheng, and he probably won't be back in a short time. "

He came as soon as he said it, and left as soon as he said it. At night, he went down the mountain by himself, and the sports car made a loud noise, which was even more aggrieved than me. It was as if I ran him away.

I curled up more and more and sighed: "I see."
