half thorns, half joy

After the police showed their documents, they involuntarily handcuffed Xiao Mingyuan's wrists. Everyone at the scene, including Xiao Zihan, was shocked by this scene.

It wasn't until the police escorted Xiao Mingyuan away that Xiao Zihan recovered from the shock. He strode forward to block the police's way, "What are you doing! Why are you arresting people!"

"Master Xiao, we enforce the law impartially. I hope you can understand and don't hinder our work."

The policeman who stayed behind easily blocked Xiao Zihan, his serious face forced Xiao Zihan to take a step back unconsciously, and shivered.

Then, the policeman walked straight up to Tang Xuan, stretched out his hand, and said with a grateful smile, "Miss Tang, thank you so much this time."

Tang Xuan didn't expect the police to greet her. She was taken aback for a moment, then nodded slightly, showing a shy smile, "This is what I should do."

Rao Xiao Zihan grew up being pampered and held in the palm of his hand. He has never been involved in a situation and has never encountered such a scene. Seeing the situation in front of him and listening to the conversation between the two, he also sensitively sensed that something was wrong.

He rushed in front of Tang Xuan, grabbed Tang Xuan's arm, frowned and asked loudly, "What do you mean? What do you mean by what you just said? Xiao Xuan, tell me, what happened?!"

Tang Xuan looked at Xiao Zihan, the corners of her eyes showed broken heartache, she clenched the hand hanging by her side tightly, and took a deep breath to force herself to calm down.

"sorry."

"What? Why do you have to apologize?" Until this moment, Xiao Zihan still didn't understand what happened, and he even had the illusion that everything in front of him was not reality.

Didn't my father say last night that he pushed everything to Xiao Yu, and that it was Xiao Yu who would be arrested and put in jail?Why was the father arrested?

Did his father lie, or did Xiao Yu do something?
Most importantly, what role did Tang Xuan play in this?How much has he been lied to?Why did Tang Xuan lie to him?
Xiao Zihan's brain was buzzing, and he was almost fainting.

Tang Xuan didn't pay any attention to Xiao Zihan. She calmly walked up to the dumbfounded emcee, took the microphone from the emcee, and turned to face the guests.

"I, Tang Xuan, thank all the distinguished guests for coming to the wedding banquet. It's just that something happened at home today and needs to be dealt with one by one. The banquet has been prepared for everyone. I hope it won't affect everyone's mood."

After Tang Xuan finished speaking, she turned around and strode away.

She didn't pay attention to the expressions of the people at the scene, and didn't look at Xiao Zihan who was in disbelief. She walked so fast that she almost ran.

Finally, I avenged my cousin.

Finally, let the perpetrators get the punishment they deserve.

Finally, this long torture is over.

She wished she could run to her cousin's grave immediately and tell her the news.

Eight years, a full eight years.

……

The suburban cemetery is deserted and lonely, and few people come here to pay homage.Tang Xuan greeted the old man guarding the cemetery, walked in along the winding path with ease, and stopped in front of a small tombstone in an inconspicuous corner after making several turns.

She first reached out to brush off the dust and fallen leaves on the tombstone, then knelt down straight.

It was only in the third year after Tang Xuan came to this city that she found her cousin Qianqian's grave.At that time, Qianqian's case was closed as a suicide, and no one claimed the body for Qianqian, so she could only be buried in the cemetery in a rough manner.

Fortunately, in order to make it easier for relatives to claim it later, photos of the tombstone were posted on the tombstone.It was also because of this photo that Tang Xuan found Qianqian's tomb.

"Sister Qianqian, the person who harmed you has been arrested, you can rest in peace below."

After saying this, Tang Xuan broke down in tears.

She suppressed herself for too long, so long that her revenge was successful, but she didn't feel much complacent, her biggest wish was completed, she didn't feel relaxed, but felt heavy and uncomfortable.

She didn't dare to think about Xiao Zihan, as long as she thought about Xiao Zihan, her heart hurt like it was being ripped out.

Tang Xuan was tired from crying, and sat on the ground slumped, staring at the photo of her cousin's smiling face on the tombstone in a daze.

"Don't look back yesterday, tomorrow we will be at Baishou, today I will marry you..." Tang Xuan's cell phone rang suddenly, breaking the silence of the cemetery.

Xiao Zihan set the phone's ringtone with Tang Xuan's phone, and the lyrics sounded extremely ironic at this time and place.

Tang Xuan hung up the phone without even looking at it, but she kept calling over and over again, persistently.Tang Xuan had to look at the caller ID. After seeing that it was the number from the landlord downstairs, she picked it up.

"Hey?"

"Where are you, beauty? Your boyfriend came to look for you. Did you guys have a fight? He kept knocking on the door, and the neighbors complained to me!"

When Tang Xuan heard the word boyfriend, she couldn't help but squeeze her phone tightly. After listening to the landlord complain in silence for a while, she pursed her lips and replied, "Auntie, don't panic, I'll be right back."

After hanging up the phone, Tang Xuan closed her eyes and sighed deeply, got up and left the cemetery.

After taking a taxi back to the rented complex, Tang Xuan heard Xiao Zihan's tearful roar as soon as she got out of the elevator.

"Tang Xuan! Come out! Come out and explain clearly!"

Tang Xuan stared at Xiao Zihan for a few seconds, then stepped forward to hold Xiao Zihan, showing distressed expression, "Zihan, you are drunk."

Xiao Zihan turned his head slowly and squinted at Tang Xuan.

"Go in and talk, don't disturb others." Tang Xuan took out the key and opened the door, and entered the room first.

Xiao Zihan stumbled after him. He watched in a daze as Tang Xuan changed her slippers and went to the water dispenser to get a cup of hot water. He acted calmly as if nothing had happened.

"Is what they said true? Is it true that you colluded with the police and got my dad into prison?"

Tang Xuan didn't answer, she walked up to Xiao Zihan with warm water, and said softly, "Drink some water."

Xiao Zihan burst into anger, knocked over the water glass in Tang Xuan's hand with a slap, and approached Tang Xuan, "Answer my question!"

"Haven't you heard all about it?" Tang Xuan rubbed her red wrist, avoiding Xiao Zihan's eyes, and answered coldly.

"I want to hear you confess!"

Tang Xuan closed her eyes. Ever since she knew Xiao Zihan, this was the first time she saw Xiao Zihan lose his composure and become so angry.

The suit on Xiao Zihan's body was already crumpled, and his gelled hair was hanging down in a mess. He looked embarrassed and decadent, not as decent as before.

Suddenly, her heart hurt like a needle.

"That's right, I was an insider." Tang Xuan looked up at Xiao Zihan, and said every word, "But I didn't get him in, he deserved what he deserved for killing someone!"

"Slap—" A loud slap caught Tang Xuan off guard, and she fell back a few steps.

Xiao Zihan's eyes were red, and he pointed at Tang Xuan's fingertips trembling, "Tang Xuan, our family treats you well, and I treat you well, how can you...how can you be so hard...how can you... You lied to me like that..."

"Treat me well...hehe..." Tang Xuan repeated Xiao Zihan's words, giggling. She thought of what Police Officer Liu told her about her cousin who was persecuted by Xiao Mingyuan to commit suicide by jumping off a building. Intense hatred, "Xiao Zihan, let me tell you, as long as I think that I once stood in the same room and breathed the same air as your father, the murderer, I will feel sick to throw up!"

"Oh, really?" Anger filled Xiao Zihan's nerves paralyzed by alcohol. He stepped forward and grabbed Tang Xuan's hair and pulled it in front of him, "What about me? Does it make you feel sick too? You For more than a year, lying next to me every day, do you feel like vomiting?"

Even if Tang Xuan's heart was full of guilt towards Xiao Zihan, she was also overwhelmed by the anger and hatred that rushed to her head at this moment. She stared at Xiao Zihan with red eyes, and said cold and hurtful words out word by word.

"Yes, you have the blood of a murderer on your body, and you also make me sick."

Xiao Zihan was stunned. He looked at Tang Xuan in disbelief. Two lines of tears flowed down his cheeks and hit the ground.

Tang Xuan was also stunned. The moment she said the words, she regretted it.

That's not the case, she really wanted to tell Xiao Zihan that it wasn't the case, she did approach him with a purpose in the beginning, but she never hated him, she really fell in love with him.

However, Tang Xuan also knew that Xiao Zihan would not believe these words.

Even if she believed it, she, a liar, did not deserve his forgiveness.

Tang Xuan really couldn't bear to look at Xiao Zihan's injured expression anymore, she turned her head and said coldly, "You go, we're done. I'm only here with you to expose your father's evil deeds."

"No, you lied to me, you lied to me." Xiao Zihan shook his head vigorously after hearing Tang Xuan's words, and laughed almost maniacally, "Tang Xuan, you are lying, you are lying to me, it's not true, it's impossible."

"it is true!"

"No! No!" As if to prove something, Xiao Zihan repeated the words of rebuttal in a low voice, and pushed Tang Xuan down on the cold marble floor.

Tang Xuan was so frightened by Xiao Zihan's appearance that she struggled desperately. The icy ground pressed against her back, and the biting chill kept pouring into her heart.

"Xiao Zihan, what are you doing! Let me go! Let go!"

Xiao Zihan seemed to be unable to hear, grabbed Tang Xuan's hands and held them down,
Tang Xuan shook her head in fear, her whole body trembling uncontrollably.

Xiao Zihan, who was furious at this time, was not the same person as Xiao Zihan, who was gentle as jade and had white teeth when he smiled.The Xiao Zihan in front of her made Tang Xuan fearful and distressed.

Tears slowly fell from the corners of Tang Xuan's eyes, sobbing, she looked at Xiao Zihan, who was smiling uglier than crying through her blurred vision.

Such a tragic smile had never appeared on Xiao Zihan's face before.

sorry.Tang Xuan said to Xiao Zihan from the bottom of her heart.

The great sadness and overwhelming pain seemed to split Tang Xuan's body in two, and she let out a cry like a bird dying in pain.

But when her eyes touched Xiao Zihan's sad eyes, she swallowed all the pain back.

sorry……

If it makes you feel better...

Sorrow tightly gripped Tang Xuan's heart. Her thoughts were confused, and she couldn't tell if there was more grief or more guilt in that sadness.If this is the pain of cheating someone who loves her deeply, then she should suffer, she deserves it.

When Xiao Zihan woke up, Tang Xuan was already in a coma.

Her face was full of tears, and her jet-black hair was scattered on the white marble floor, which was as poignant as a famous painting.

Gradually regaining his sanity, Xiao Zihan fell to the ground, looking at Tang Xuan who was unconscious and curled up subconsciously with complicated eyes.

"Xiao Zihan... I'm sorry..."

I'm sorry one sentence after another, shouting in a low voice like a dream, Xiao Zihan frowned, he couldn't tell whether those sorry words were really apologizing to him, or begging for mercy... .

Unfortunately, no matter what it was, he couldn't forgive it.

It was over for him and Tang Xuan.

It's all over.
