Flower Room

Chapter 23 Surgery
After the meeting was over, Manzhi was invited into the president's office by Shao Junbang. He said straightforwardly: "I think Ayun was very emotional about the contractor that was raised at the meeting. Anyway, it was recommended by him. I might say just now. To be a little blunt may have hurt his self-esteem."

Manzhi hurriedly said: "Second Uncle, don't blame yourself, I agree with you, Shao Yun... is still a little childish."

Shao Junbang smiled in relief, and sighed: "As long as he is half as sensible as you, I will feel relieved. Well, why not, you should communicate with him again and do ideological work, no matter what, Our Shaw's suppliers cannot be randomly appointed, and I don't want him to set this precedent."

Manzhi was in a difficult situation, and if she were to persuade Shao Yun now, the effect would probably be similar to that of Shao Junbang himself, or even worse.

"Can...can you find someone else?" She asked hesitantly.

Shao Junbang glanced at her suspiciously, "You are the assistant of the operation department, and you need to come forward to coordinate this matter. Why, you two...argued?"

Manzhi forced a smile, she didn't want to talk about such things with Shao Junbang, so she covered it up and said, "It's nothing."

Fearing that he would question him again, Manzhi had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "I...go try it."

Shao Junbang is so perceptive, he already understood it, and said with a smile: "It's common for young couples to quarrel. I also quarreled with your second aunt when I was young. Don't take it to heart. It will be fine after a while."

After leaving the president's office, Manzhi lingered in the corridor for a while, then gritted her teeth and went to Shao Yun's office.She was not sure that she could persuade him, but she was never cowardly, it was her duty, and she would not evade it.

At the door, Manzhi followed the etiquette and asked the secretary to report first, instead of going in directly as before.

The little secretary came out quickly, and said respectfully, "The vice president invites you in."

As soon as she opened the door, she heard Shao Yun's loud laughter. Then, Manzhi saw that Miss Kong again. Both of them were smiling and sitting facing each other, as if they were talking about something interesting.

Seeing Manzhi, Shao Yun immediately raised his eyebrows, and raised his voice, "If you guessed right, you must be here again on behalf of President Shao, right?"

Manzhi ignored his sarcasm, walked up to the two of them, and politely said to Miss Kong: "I'm sorry, can I trouble you to go out for a while, I have something to talk to him about."

Shao Yun immediately stopped his words, looked at Manzhi almost provocatively and said, "No need, Manager Kong is my right-hand man, there is nothing she can't listen to, unless——you want to talk to me about personal matters." He shrugged and smiled It's a bit rascal, "But it's working time now, and we can't talk about private matters until we get home."

Ms. Kong was very embarrassed. She was sandwiched between the two, in a dilemma. Finally, she stood up wisely and said with a smile, "I'd better go out, you two talk slowly."

Manzhi said to her with a stiff expression, "Thank you."

There were only two people left in the room, Shao Yun immediately pulled his face down, and his tone became much lower, "If it's about the contractor, I advise you not to talk about it, I will talk to the second uncle directly."

Seeing his straightforward answer, Manzhi nodded.This is the best way to save her embarrassment.Having nothing to say, Manzhi turned around and wanted to leave.Maybe he was still a little nervous just now, but he suddenly relaxed, and suddenly felt a burst of dizziness, almost gagging, and habitually covered his mouth with his hands.

Shao Yun saw it, his brows shuddered, and he said coldly, "Is that how I make you sick?"

Manzhi was a little out of control at this time, just wanted to find a bathroom to vent, ignored him, and hurried out.

Suddenly, Shao Yun got angry for no reason, dragged her back, threw her on the sofa, and said through gritted teeth: "Su Manzhi, don't bully me too much! Do you think you can make it to the top by following his example? madness!"

Manzhi was not at all wary of being rudely shoved onto the sofa by him, and she became dizzy all of a sudden, while Shao Yun's roar came like a torrential rain, and the resentment accumulated in her heart for many days could no longer be held back. It exploded in an instant.

"Yes! I'm stupid! But my stupidity is not because of delusion to rise to the top, but——why am I pregnant with your child?!" Manzhi also gritted her teeth when she yelled these words.

The last sentence was like Jiao Lei rolling past Shao Yun's ear, he stared at Manzhi's bloodless face suddenly, fell into great astonishment, and asked in amazement, "What did you say?"

Then, without her answering, he suddenly understood, and his whole body trembled as if an electric current was passing through.

He quickly bent over and squatted in front of Manzhi, and grabbed her wrist with such force that Manzhi hissed secretly in pain, but she resisted making a sound.

The arrogance of a few minutes ago was completely gone on Shao Yun's face, he asked hoarsely, "You...are you serious?"

For a moment, ecstasy occupied his whole heart!

Manzhi has his child!This child belongs to both of them, and from now on, they finally have a close bond, truly inseparable!

At the same time, another thought flashed through his mind, so fast that he hardly noticed: With this child, Manzhi will never leave him again!

Manzhi suddenly felt weak, and the sense of burnout overflowing from the depths of her heart tightly wrapped her around her.

For nearly a month, none of them could convince the other, so they kept arguing and fighting endlessly.She also thought about giving in, but after giving in, would it be possible for the two of them to live together in peace?
Perhaps for Shao Yun, an obedient, puppet-like wife is the most suitable for him, and he doesn't have to think about anything, as long as he does what he tells him to do.But Manzhi is definitely not such a person, she will never be able to meet his requirements.

Until now, Manzhi couldn't tell whether she welcomed or rejected this budding little life. However, she also had to admit that with this child, she probably wanted to separate herself from Shao Yun in this life. It was possible, and a sigh quietly fell in her heart, which was both regret and acceptance of fate.

Shao Yun looked at Manzhi happily, hoping that the same joy would show in her eyes.

However, she didn't look at herself at all, her pale face was full of boredom and tiredness, even her eyes were cold!
In an instant, he was completely awakened from the joy of being poured a basin of water from the top of his head.

He was so happy that he almost forgot that the woman in front of him was willing to give birth to a child for him. She was thinking about leaving him all the time, and the child was simply a burden to her!
In an instant, his heart was also wrapped in layers of strict ice, exuding a white air-conditioning that made him shiver all over.

All kinds of past quickly turned over in front of my eyes.

Between the two of them, he has always been the one who takes the initiative, while Manzhi just suffers passively. He got her man in a semi-forced way, but he could never get her heart!Even if she smiled at herself, it seemed that she would always feel wronged, because all of this was not voluntary!

The thought drove him almost crazy!

However, what frightened him even more was that he suddenly found that his life seemed to be more and more centered on Manzhi. When she smiled, he was happy, and when she was troubled, he became anxious.She captured him completely in that seemingly aimless way, she controlled his emotions, and now she wanted to kick him away, but he was powerless!

All along, he has always been the only one who rejects other women, and no woman has "played" herself in the palm of her hand like Manzhi!How could he have any self-esteem in front of her? !
His heart suddenly twisted violently, as if it was broken into several knots, pain and humiliation intertwined, at this moment, he hated Manzhi!

But this kind of hatred is completely different from before. In the past, he only blamed Manzhi for disrupting his life, but now, he hates her because she made him lose himself!

Such Shao Yun, even he himself despises, so why should he fight for the rights in his uncle's hands?
The frozen heart has hardened. Shao Yun has never been an indecisive man. After all, he has the same cruel blood as his father rooted in his veins.

Shao Yun never imagined that one year after his father's death, he would experience the state of mind he once had. His consistent principle when making decisions, although ruthless, has no other choice, that is: no matter what the situation is, Next, you must first learn to protect yourself.

At this moment, what he wants to preserve is his dignity and pride!

Maybe he likes Manzhi very much, but when this liking has become a sharp weapon to hurt him, cutting him off with a sword is the only way out.He can give up all the sweetness, ambiguity, joy, and resentment floating in the air!

He cannot be bound by a woman, not in the past, not now, and even less in the future!

Shao Yun finally stood up slowly.

No one knew that at this time he was completely different from the Shao Yun who was squatting down just now, and the happy and heartbroken self died quietly in just a few minutes!
At this moment, Shao Yun standing in front of Manzhi is only Shao Junkang's son.

Shao Yun spoke in a calm tone, "It's too bad, I think, this is not good news for you." Manzhi raised her head in amazement amidst the fatigue and conflict, and looked at the woman whose back was turned to herself. Shao Yun, who was walking towards the window, murmured in bewilderment, "What do you mean?"

Shao Yun didn't look back, he went straight to the window and stood still.Through the blue glass, he imagined how bright the sun was outside, and subconsciously narrowed his eyes, as if feeling dazzling.

He smiled unexpectedly at the glass mirror, and he could see his faint outline, with sharp edges and corners, and his handsomeness remained undiminished.However, a trace of a smile hung on the corner of his mouth, which actually made his entire face appear ferocious.

He said slowly: "It's nothing else, I'm just worried for you—with this child, what should you do after 18 years, and you still leave?"

Manzhi suddenly became short of breath, and the dizziness that had finally subsided began to attack again. She tried her best to control her weakness, clenched her teeth, and asked in a low voice: "This child is yours too, don't you care?"

Shao Yun turned around leisurely and shrugged at her, "I don't care, anyway, the only child involved in our agreement is Mengmeng, which doesn't include your accident. So, it's up to you to decide whether to live or not, you don't need to consult me Opinion."

After finishing these words with a calm demeanor, even Shao Yun himself was astonished. He was somewhat hesitant. Could he be a copy of Shao Junkang in his bones?
However, as soon as this idea took shape, his heart still twitched violently. Manzhi's face lost all color in an instant, and was as pale as paper. He knew that he had finally hit her vital point, but he didn't expect it. The joy in the heart sinks continuously.

Manzhi's chest felt like being punched heavily, and she could no longer breathe smoothly!
She didn't expect Shao Yun to be gentle with her, but she thought that this news could at least ease the tense relationship between them for many days.But no, everything was just what she "thought", and what Manzhi read on his face was only a terrible indifference, which made her fall into boundless despair!

She finally understood that it was really over with Shao Yun.

At such a heart-wrenching moment, Manzhi unexpectedly had a strange thought in her mind: If Manqi was sitting here and telling Shao Yun the same news, how would he react?If Manqi heard such cruel remarks from him, how would she react?

How wonderful life is, similar scenes are always repeated, but the protagonist changes again and again.

What makes Manzhi sad is that in the two "dramas" she participated in, the hero is always Shao Yun, while the heroine is her sister and herself!
Fate's footsteps are so cunning, it hides and leads Manzhi to such an embarrassing situation, but she is not satisfied, and finally makes her follow in the footsteps of her sister!

And the "treatment" she is receiving at this moment is far worse than that of her sister!Shao Yun doesn't even bother to have this child!Could this be God's punishment for her mistakes? !

Although her whole body was shaking violently, she still tried her best to straighten her spine. Unlike Manqi, she was never used to using tears to represent words.

"Why did you touch me?" She questioned desolately, with unconcealed hatred, but only to find some possible dignity in the broken pieces.

Shao Yun was almost about to rush over, he couldn't stand Manzhi's sad look, he suddenly didn't want his pride, he would rather exchange his pride for a warm smile from her, if possible.

Before she stepped forward, Manzhi had already returned to her normal state, her expression was cold and unfeeling, but her eyes were relieved and then relaxed.

It turned out that she was just waiting for a verdict from herself, she didn't want to bear the guilt alone, and pushed this difficult problem to herself!It seemed that his answer satisfied her!
The muscles on Shao Yun's face trembled, and his sinking heart gradually rose up.

Raising his eyebrows, he continued to be cruel, "Don't you know that men have such needs? It doesn't mean anything." Manzhi was completely disheartened, she didn't even feel pain anymore, Shao Yun has always been like this A kind of person, from the first time she saw him, all these years, nothing has changed.

The person who changed was only himself, hesitating between right and wrong, and then smashing himself to pieces, this is no one else to blame!
She slowly stood up from the sofa, and said in a low voice, "I understand." Without a trace of emotion.

Stayed too long, it's time to leave.

Shao Yun watched her walk towards the door, and the tide of soft heart came up again. He had to hold on to the back of the sofa tightly to resist the urge to chase after her, and just watched her disappear from his eyes little by little. .

As soon as he walked out of the president's office, Shao Yun let out a long breath of suffocation that had been pent up in his chest for a long time. He finally overwhelmed Shao Junbang with an extremely tough attitude, and continued to retain Feng Tao as one of the contractors for the Xiyi real estate.

Shao Junbang wanted to create an image of a "good uncle" in front of the public, so Shao Yun fulfilled him, and this time he would make him a more thorough one, because as soon as he walked out, Shao Yun realized that his infamy of "using power for personal gain" was a betrayal. deal.Of course, Shao Yun is not a fool, he knows very well that the second uncle was willing to give in because the incident itself did not violate his bottom line.

Everyone understands that to be included in Shaw's supplier list, one has to have some nepotism. Shao Junbang himself has done this kind of referral, although he can completely excuse that it is necessary for the current situation. , as a last resort, but after a long time, who can tell the difference?What's more, how many of those employees who have some power in their hands are not doing small tricks to seek one or two benefits for themselves?As long as there is no exception, who in the company will turn a blind eye?It's just that everyone knows it well and doesn't say anything.

Although Shao Junbang repeatedly ran against Shao Yun, he was still a bit jealous of him. After all, the core of Shao's economy was still in the hands of Shen Yufang, which in disguise was in Shao Yun's hands.He plays a cat-and-mouse game with this hot-tempered and straightforward nephew from time to time, just to provoke him to expose his weaknesses in front of others and reduce the possibility of him becoming the head of the group one day. Of course, if he can be forced to take the initiative once and for all There is nothing better than quitting the company's operations.But judging from the current situation, Shao Yun is no longer the flamboyant kid who didn't know much about shit and only knew how to have fun three years ago. Therefore, Shao Junbang didn't dare to push too hard, Zhang Chi had the right way, and he had to slow down where he needed to be. Slow down, don't be greedy for small things and lose big things.

Shao Yun doesn't have as many scruples as Shao Junbang. He hates those slick political flower guns, and doesn't care about the gains and losses of his personal image. He only cares about results, so he is far more straightforward in methods than his second uncle. Aggressive, relying on the hole cards in their hands, they played several tricks, but they barely drew a tie, and neither of them got much advantage from the other.

Seeing Shao Junbang's untiring shooting of open and dark arrows towards him, Shao Yun also became ruthless, old guy, I'll play with you, let's see who of us can carry it to the end!
At two o'clock, the secretary came in to remind him that the development of the resort needed to be further discussed with the persons in charge of operations, real estate development and other departments.

A week ago, the plan was finally passed by the board of directors, becoming the largest real estate project invested by Shaw Brothers this year.

Shao Junbang attached great importance to it. In just a few days, there were several meetings and conferences, and as long as he had time, he would basically be there.Shao Yun, as one of the general planners of the resort plan, must also visit the venue to participate in the discussion of various details.

Once on the right track, Shao Yun is also a very thoughtful person. He has the same clear organization and keen insight as Shao Junkang. He has repeatedly put forward unique opinions at the meeting, and even Shao Junbang has to be sour. Appreciate him.

In the conference room, most of the people were there, Shao Yun glanced roughly, but he didn't see Manzhi, his brows furrowed.He found his own seat and sat down, twirling a pencil to play with, to conceal the unease that struck him. After a round of quarreling in his office in the morning, he never saw Manzhi again.

With 2 minutes to go before the official start, Xiao Liu, who was in charge of coordinating the meeting, looked around and muttered, "Why hasn't the person from the Operations Department arrived yet?"

As soon as the words fell, Qin Fang from the operation department broke in panting, holding a stack of documents in front of her chest, and seeing the neatly packed heads in the meeting room, she immediately apologized and sat down in Manzhi's seat. Down.

Manager Pei asked curiously: "Why didn't Assistant Su come? I saw her this morning." Manzhi has been personally involved in this project, and it's hard to avoid the strange change of person at this time.

Qin Fang explained: "Oh, she suddenly felt unwell. She went to the hospital in the afternoon and told me about it before she left. I just came to listen, take notes, and report the truth to Assistant Su later... "

With a "snap" sound, the pen in Shao Yun's hand was broken in two with too much force. He stared at Qin Fang, and asked coldly, "What's wrong with her?"

Qin Fang saw that his face suddenly changed, as if she had harmed Manzhi, she suddenly became uneasy, and said in a muttered voice: "She didn't tell me in detail, it seems...it seems to be a stomachache."

Shao Junbang was the last to enter and took a seat on the chairman's seat. Xiao Liu immediately whispered next to him: "Mr. Shao, everyone is here."

Shao Junbang nodded, and before he could say the first sentence, Shao Yun suddenly jumped up from the chair, without saying hello, he rushed straight to the door.He was surprised and angry at the same time, this kid is getting more and more outrageous.

"Shao Yun, where are you going?" He had to ask with a sullen face.

Everyone in the room was as stunned as he was. Seeing Shao Yun walk away without looking back, everyone's eyes turned to Shao Junbang again.

His face was gloomy for a while, and then he gradually returned to normal. He waved to everyone and said, "Let's start." There was a trace of helplessness in his tone.

Shao Yun rushed to the parking lot in one breath, jumped into the car, started it, turned the steering wheel, and then drove to the factory area.

During this period of time, there were very few vehicles coming and going on the open road in the park. He kept shifting gears and accelerating, and the car seemed to be flying fast.

He was driving so crazy, but he didn't know where he was going at all, not only his people didn't know where to go, at this moment, even his heart had lost its direction!

In his extreme fear, he intuitively guessed what Manzhi would do!
Shao Yun admits that he has never understood Manzhi, what she likes, what she desires, what her ideal is, he doesn't understand.He just understood her according to his own ideas, and gave her in his own way.

The only thing he knows about Manzhi is her stubbornness!

It is entirely possible that because of the unfeeling words she said impulsively, she would do something that Shao Yun would regret for the rest of her life.Because he knows that Manzhi doesn't love him!
Braking hard at a traffic light, he stopped just in time for a van that was crossing to his left and nearly collided with him.The truck driver poked his head out and shook his fist hard at him through the glass.

Shao Yun regained consciousness a little, with dense cold sweat on his forehead.He backed the car to the side of the road and stared blankly ahead, not knowing what to do and where to find Manzhi.

It took a long time for his brain to start working again. He took out the phone with his left hand trembling slightly, and found Manzhi's number, but he couldn't press the call button for a long time.

He has never bowed his head to anyone in his life, not even his aloof father!

Now, do you want him to plead with a woman who doesn't love him?Begging her to stay, begging her to keep that child safe?

Shao Yun threw the phone away almost angrily, he hated himself for being so cowardly!
However, 2 minutes later, he bent down to pick up the phone almost in humiliation, and pressed the button heavily, thinking sadly that he might really be hopeless.

"The number you dialed has been turned off or is out of service area..." The sweet female voice came to his ears and said it many times in a row. He seemed to be listening intoxicated, and he grinned and wanted to laugh, but it was uglier than crying!

Manzhi is more ruthless than him, she refuses to give him even a chance to buffer!
The phone finally slipped from the palm of his hand. He stretched out his arms weakly and lay on the steering wheel, and then slowly lowered his face on it. He just sat quietly for a long time, as if in silent mourning.

Manzhi sat numbly outside the obstetrics and gynecology clinic in the crowded city for a long time.

The nurse was singing again, and she unconsciously glanced at the scrap of paper in her hand before getting up as if waking up from a dream, and went over.

The doctor worked on an assembly line. After a brief inquiry, he listed several inspection items and handed them to Manzhi, "Come back after the inspection."

Holding several test sheets in her hand, Manzhi sat down in front of the doctor again.

She is a middle-aged female doctor with sophistication and competence on her face. She checked Manzhi's information and couldn't help but glance at her, "Oh, the first child, why did you take it away?"

Manchi language knot.

"Have you discussed it with your family?"

"...Yeah." She nodded lightly. For some reason, she has been strong until now, and her throat was a little choked when she answered this sentence.

The doctor stopped talking and took notes smoothly, then took out a small paper package from a small square box on the table and handed it to Manzhi.

"What's this for?"

"Pills, you will need them during surgery."

Hearing her cold words, Manzhi's heart trembled suddenly, "When will the surgery... start?"

"Soon, just sit there and wait for a while." The doctor pointed to a row of empty wooden benches outside the operating room, and then went to look at other patients' lists.

Manzhi had no choice but to walk over, picked a chair at random and sat down. The doctor had already started the next round of interrogation, and no one paid any attention to her.

Manzhi originally thought that she would be nervous and feel pain and hesitation, but in this lively consulting room, there is no factor that induces sadness at all. The women's chirping conversation fills her ears, and there is even laughter from time to time.

She held the white paper bag and her case card tightly in her hands, and stared blankly at the opposite white wall. For a moment, she suddenly didn't understand why she came here.

In such a trance, time drifted away leisurely before her eyes, and she seemed to see the scene of sitting with Manqi outside the consulting room back then.

Manzhi could clearly see the anxious expressions on the faces of the two sisters. When she reached out her hand, she felt that she could almost touch them.

She saw the awe-inspiring self pressing hard on her sister, and also saw the tears on Manqi's face.

Suddenly, Manzhi was so sad that she couldn't control her hand to the air, as if she wanted to grab some spiritual support, she murmured, "Sister!"

All the hallucinations disappeared in an instant, only her hand stretched helplessly in the air.

Manzhi suddenly woke up and looked around, but no one noticed her.She retracted her hand in fear, but the palm of her hand wandered to her lower abdomen involuntarily. There was nothing abnormal there, it was as still as still water, and she felt even more confused.

In the distant distance, Manqi's voice seemed to be heard, with low sadness and sighs.

"Manzhi... have you really thought about it?"

Manzhi was flustered for a while, but her rationality did not allow her to back down, forcing her to nod, "...well, I want to pay off all his things. Sister, I don't want to be like you—to entrust my whole life to him. "

……

The door of the operating room suddenly opened, and a doctor in full armor came to the door and shouted, "Next, Su Manzhi!"

The white mask was hanging by the ear, shaking dangerously, as if it might fall off at any moment.

Manzhi turned her head back in horror, and instinctively shrank back.

The doctor waited for a while, seeing that no one answered, he became a little impatient, "Su Manzhi! Are you there?"

Manzhi had no choice but to stand up, feeling dizzy, with a pale face, she replied in a very low voice, "Yes."

The doctor looked at her, and muttered dissatisfiedly, "Why didn't you tell me earlier?" Then he swiftly drew the medical card and other things from her hand, and after careful identification, he shook his head at her, "Come in."

The blood all over her body was frozen, Manzhi moved a little slowly, her legs were even trembling slightly, but she finally gritted her teeth and stepped into the white door.

Manqi, I'm going in, I... will never be a deserter.

In the yard, the camellia plants transplanted by Manzhi to the open air had not been watered for two days, and the edges of the leaves were slightly yellowed. Shen Yufang looked at it for a while, and couldn't help pouring the tea in the cup all over it.The branches and leaves swayed slightly, stained with crystal water drops, like drinking nectar.

She stared blankly, always feeling something was wrong, but she couldn't put it into words.

The child is grown up, so I don't tell her any troubles, for fear that she will be overwhelmed, but like now, she sees everything, but she doesn't understand anything, which makes her feel even more uncomfortable.

Sighing slightly, she turned and walked into the house.

Mengmeng is playing alone in the newly built "doll's house" in the corner of the living room. She arranges the big and small dolls in different categories, and even names them. According to her requirements, she eats, eats, and attends classes. , in this small world, she is the supreme ruler.

Seeing Shen Yufang coming in, she immediately asked in a soft voice: "Grandma, can I go and play with my mother now?"

Shen Yufang felt sorry for this well-behaved little girl, smiled kindly, and said softly: "Wait a little longer, mom is very tired, let her have a good rest, doesn't Mengmeng love mom the most?"

Mengmeng was a little dissatisfied at first when she said no, but the last sentence had a great effect, she nodded heavily, but she didn't mess around.

When Shao Yun walked in, Mengmeng was the first to see her. She threw the toy rice spoon in her hand to the ground and jumped up happily, "Dad! Come and play with me, okay?"

Shen Yufang turned around in astonishment, and she saw Shao Yun strolling in with a gloomy expression.

"Huh? Why did both of you come back so early today?"

Shao Yun's eyes lingered on his mother's face for a while, before he asked, "Where is she?" His voice was hoarse, revealing deep tiredness.

"You mean Manzhi? She didn't seem very comfortable in the room, and she said she was going to lie down for a while when she came back——Ayun, you... all right?"

Shao Yun passively hugged Mengmeng who was jumping up to him, caressed her little head numbly, then put her back on the ground, and walked directly to the stairs, with heavy steps.

Mengmeng stood aggrieved, her mouth flattened, as if she was about to cry.Shen Yufang walked over a few steps, took her little hand, held it tightly, and raised her head to call Shao Yun.

"Did you quarrel?" She couldn't hide her worry anymore on her white and chubby face, and asked directly.

Shao Yun stopped in his tracks, neither turning around nor denying it.

Shen Yufang's heart was heavy, and she said earnestly, "Ah Yun, you are a man, you have to give up Manzhi for big things, you know?"

Shao Yun lowered his head, still silent, after a while, he continued to climb up the stairs with difficulty.

In the room, Manzhi closed her eyes, leaned on the bed with her clothes closed, her bloodless face was so clean that she didn't even have a trace of expression.

Hearing the noise, she slowly opened her eyes, and looked at Shao Yun standing by the door with a strange gaze, without any joy or anger in her eyes.

Her calm expression gave Shao Yun a glimmer of hope, maybe she was just tired, maybe she didn't do anything because she was careless.

He swallowed hard, thinking about saying a few words to break the awkward silence.

However, Manzhi suddenly turned her head away, raised her hand to take a piece of paper from the bed cabinet, and then softly handed it towards him, with an indifferent tone, "You can rest assured, I have... done it."

The last three words were spoken very softly, accompanied by a trembling sound, Shao Yun still caught it very clearly, his eyes were instantly as dark as ashes, and the last thread of illusory fantasy suspended in his heart was silently broken. up!
Such a result only convinced him once again that Manzhi didn't love him, and she never loved him!

He didn't even have the courage to walk over, and he was so weak that he had to press against the back of the door to support himself.

He had never been so afraid before. It was as if his whole body was thrown into the turbulent sea. He was ups and downs with the raging tide, and was suddenly thrown to the highest point by the surf. , so tossing several times, became a walking dead.

The surroundings were so quiet that he couldn't bear it. He thought he would explode and cry, but no, his reason was brutally recovered, and he found that he could still stand upright, as if nothing had happened. It was suppressed in the chest cavity, and not even a single drop splashed out.

It turned out that he was stronger than he imagined!
Except, except for the unrestrained bitterness in his heart, completely infiltrating and burying him, there is nowhere to escape!
He didn't want Manzhi to see his weakness, so he opened his mouth to say something, but he couldn't catch any suitable words in his confused mind.

In the end, he only said in a hoarse voice, "I'm sorry." Pale and weak.

Manzhi's face became extremely stiff in an instant, and as soon as he let go of his hand, the piece of paper fell down, swinging back and forth, like a flat boat in the water, lying on the ground silently.

She looked at Shao Yun with strong disdain, and suddenly giggled, as if this was the most ridiculous thing she had ever heard!

She laughed so hard that it touched a sore spot in her lower body, but she still couldn't help it, so she had to cover her mouth and laugh until tears fell.

She exchanged all the pain in her body and mind for his three flimsy words!

Looking at her trembling appearance, Shao Yun gradually gathered fear in his heart, and couldn't help but took a step forward, "Manzhi—"

"Don't come over!" She suddenly stopped laughing and shouted at him sharply.

She stared at him, her eyes seemed to burst into flames, she gritted her teeth and said to him: "Get lost!"

Shao Yun didn't move, his bloodshot eyes were filled with anxiety and pain, and he stared at her without turning for a moment.

Manzhi was furious, so she picked up the pillow behind her and threw it at him, "I told you to get out, do you hear me?"

Shao Yun stretched out his hand in embarrassment to block it, and the pillow fell to the ground with a muffled sound.

Manzhi then reached out to sweep the things on the bed cabinet, lamps, books, cute toys, and threw them to the ground.

"Get out!" She yelled at his frozen figure, her voice hoarse.

Shao Yun really wanted to go over to stop her madness, but the soles of her feet seemed to be rusted, and she couldn't pull them out bluntly.

Despair was like a black net, catching him overwhelmingly, he just felt breathless!Unable to stay any longer, he quickly turned around, pulled the door, and left without saying a word.

The dust had already settled, and he understood that everything would be irreversible in the end!
The huge movement upstairs made Shen Yufang's heart skip a beat, even Mengmeng stopped playing the game in her hand and looked at her in confusion.

Shen Yufang touched the back of Mengmeng's head and smiled in relief, "It's okay." She was comforting the child as well as herself.

Finally, I saw Shao Yun appearing on the corner platform of the stairs with a dejected expression on his face.

Shen Yufang stood up involuntarily, and asked anxiously, "Ah Yun, what's wrong with you?"

Shao Yun didn't say anything, and stepped down slowly. Every time he stepped down, it was like stepping on hell, taking another step away from the light.

"Ayun..." Shen Yufang stared at her son in panic, this was the first time she had seen such a panicked face.

When he finally stepped on the flat ground, Shen Yufang stood in front of him, blocking his way.

Shao Yun lowered his head blankly, staring at the ground, and said to his mother in a weary tone: "Mom, take good care of Manzhi."

He spoke very slowly, as if he was struggling, "She... just finished the operation."

"Surgery? What surgery?"

"... Miscarriage." Shao Yun said in a low voice, the muscles on his face still twitched.

Shen Yufang was stunned, "She has Manzhi?"

She felt that she was really old, and her brain was running too slowly, "I have... and... gone?"

"How could this be?" She murmured, after a short delay, she finally came to her senses, grabbed Shao Yun's arm, and asked anxiously, "Why do you have to get rid of it? She can be born! Why? ?”

Shao Yun allowed her to shake his body, then took a deep breath, and said calmly, "It's what I meant."

Now that it was a foregone conclusion, he didn't want to make any excuses, so he let himself bear it alone.

No matter how good-tempered Ren Shen Yufang was, she couldn't help being furious at this moment, "You, are you still a human being? How could Manzhi feel sorry for you? How could you..." She couldn't continue, tears blurred her vision.

The most painful moment has passed, Shao Yun's heart is only left with dull numbness, and he found that the worst is nothing more than this.

But for his mother, he had to give an explanation.

"Manzhi and I...were married by agreement. She married me just to get Mengmeng's custody." He explained numbly, but he spoke very smoothly. He wasn't lying.

Shen Yufang was completely stunned. She didn't want to believe and couldn't believe that the two people who were so in love once hid such a big secret from her!
"You, how could..." How can she believe that the sweetness she witnessed was all fabricated illusions out of thin air!

"Manzhi's pregnancy was completely accidental, and she... didn't want to have this child at all."

"It's impossible!" Shen Yufang interrupted tremblingly, "There is no mother who will not love her child."

Shen Yufang felt chilling, she prayed to gods and worshiped Buddha every day, but this was the result of her practice.

She dragged Shao Yun to go upstairs.

Shao Yun resisted his steps in astonishment, "Mom, what are you doing?"

"Go, tell Manzhi clearly, I don't believe what you just said!"

"Mom!" Shao Yun suddenly became angry, and shook his hands heavily, his face was livid, "Don't force me!" He turned his head and walked out the door.

Shen Yufang froze on the stairs, only feeling discouraged, "Shao Yun, you really let me down!"

Shao Yun stood at the door, looked up at the sky outside, the night was falling, swallowing up the bright meaning bit by bit, and faint stars could already be seen in the sky.

He could imagine that the street market in the urban area was just at the beginning of the lights, and how noisy and bustling it would be, bustling like daytime.

Perhaps, that is the place that really belongs to him. Everything he is familiar with and can control is there.No harm, no torture.So what about drunkenness, dreaming of death, if you can use this to stay away from pain, who would have the courage to refuse?Lowering his head, he smiled wryly, turned his back to his mother and said, "It's not surprising, even I... am disappointed." He walked out like that.

Shen Yufang took Mengmeng's little hand, and tremblingly said: "Come on, Mengmeng, let's go see your mother."

Mengmeng readily agreed, and happily ran ahead, she immediately turned her head to look at grandma in confusion, not understanding why she was so sad.

When she reached the door, Shen Yufang knocked on the door, "Manzhi, it's me!" Then she opened the door and went in.

Manzhi was lying on the bed, her eyes were red and swollen, she was struggling to get up at this moment, Shen Yufang looked at her distressed, and hurried over, sat down beside her bed, "Just lie down, don't get up."

There were sundries scattered on the ground, Mengmeng saw her cloth tiger at a glance, immediately jumped up to pick it up, and then climbed onto the bed three times, she looked at Manzhi who had a strange expression, and hesitantly put the toy in her hand Pass it over, "Mom, be good, Mengmeng will give you the tiger."

Manzhi took it with a strong smile, choked up and said, "Thank you Mengmeng." Tears couldn't stop falling down.

Mengmeng just wanted to smile at her, but when she saw Manzhi crying suddenly, she felt a little overwhelmed, she couldn't figure out the adult world in her little mind, so she had to stretch out her little hand cautiously, and patted Manzhi's leg carefully , Chat and express comfort in your own way.

Shen Yufang held Manzhi in her arms, and said sadly: "Good boy, don't be sad!" She didn't know what to say for a moment, so she could only caress Manzhi's back like comforting a child.

Manzhi lay obediently in her arms, trying to absorb some warmth, but gradually, her shoulders began to shake, and the shaking became stronger and stronger.

Shen Yufang noticed her strangeness, and whispered uneasy, "Manzhi..."

Manzhi couldn't bear it anymore, and burst into tears in her arms.

Shen Yufang also shed tears, and said anxiously: "Don't cry, don't cry, this is the same as confinement, you can't be sad, if you cry again, you will get the root of the disease in the future."

As she said this, she became deeply worried. These two people are too temperamental, which is not a good thing. How will they live in the future?

Manzhi couldn't bear it anymore, the tears had already burst out of the embankment, she screamed in a low voice, "It's my fault, I, I... shouldn't do it!"

Shen Yufang was even more sad, and tried to persuade her weakly: "How can I blame you, it's Ah Yun's bastard who doesn't know how to love others."

"No, it's not!" Manzhi shook her head desperately, but she couldn't speak anymore.It seems that there are only tears left in the world, and there is no end to it.

At this moment, all her ignorant consciousness seemed to have completely awakened, and she no longer had the persistence and bravery she had in the hospital, and her heart was full of pain and regret!
She shouldn't have killed her own child with her own hands!That is her own flesh and blood, the continuation of her life eh!

Even if Shao Yun doesn't love her, even if there will be no joys in the future, she still has her own child, who is her flesh and blood that truly belongs to her!

However, in order to get angry with Shao Yun, she cruelly destroyed it!What did she do? !

Manzhi lay in Shen Yufang's arms crying to death, but finally realized in despair that it was too late. This pain, like her sister's death, will always be with her. Even if there is a scar, the scar cannot be completely eliminated .

In this life, she has never had a chance with happiness.
