You brought up the divorce. Why are you crying when your wife is gone?

I grabbed the cup and smashed it at Xiao Li's feet. This was the first time I got so angry at Xiao Li. In the past, it was only his anger that burned me, but I never thought that one day, I would be like this... as angry as Xiao Li used to be.

Regardless of everything, he burned both of them to ashes.

I don't know how Xiao Li slammed the door and left. The sound was so loud that it almost cracked the wall. I huddled in the quilt and sent a message to Rong Xian. As I sent the message, tears fell and blurred my vision. I said, "Why did you leave so early?"

【Rong Xian: I'm out on some business, I'll be back soon. 】

【Bo Yan: What are you doing? 】

【Rong Xian: Naturalization procedures.】

These four words brought tears to my eyes.

[Rong Xian: Xiao Li told me that you are really not a member of the Bo family. But Xiao Yan, I can't let you go back to the Bo family to be bullied, so I went to the police station to ask how to transfer you to our Rong family's household registration.]

I cried so hard that I couldn't breathe. I wiped my tears and called Rong Xian, "What the hell is wrong with you!"

"I'm serious." Rong Xian was busying himself. "If you were really kicked out by the Bo family and became homeless, wouldn't I be heartbroken? You should be prepared first, in case someone from the Bo family plots against you one day, so that you can at least come to me for help."

"Are you crazy? Are you going to take me in like this?"

"Xiao Li is ready."

I was stunned when these words came out.

Rong Xian continued, "So I have to be prepared too. You will have a lot of choices by then. You can go to whichever family you want. Really, both of our families welcome you very much. Xiao Li even asked me if I wanted to change my last name to his."

I sneered, "Take his last name? Go and become his godsister?"

Rong Xian laughed, "I'm just preventing unexpected situations. If you and Xiao Li get to the point where you are incompatible with each other, you will definitely not go to Xiao Li for help, so you will definitely have to come to me."

I sniffed, "Oh, I just scolded Xiao Li away."

Rong Xian was stunned, "Ah? Did you scold him? Or did he scold you?"

I was so angry at his words that I laughed, "How can you talk like that? At least I was tough today."

"Haha, Xiao Li must be feeling really upset. At least he has thought about your future carefully. Although he has always been sarcastic, he has been helping us since high school. That's why he and I have been good friends for so long." Rong Xian laughed happily. "That's great. If you break up with him soon, you can follow me."

"Thinking about me and hurting me doesn't cancel out."

I stared at the ceiling with my eyes open. "Maybe he did something good for me behind my back, but Rong Xian, that's different from him hurting me. I can't be soft-hearted because of that. I'm not that kind of saint."

"Taking you over was just a random idea of ​​Xiao Li." Rong Xian said to me on the other end, "After all, Xiao Li is a man of his word. He treats you well because he wants to make himself happy, so he does things for you."

"Did he tell you that?"

"Yes, how else would I know?" Rong Xian asked me back, "Xiao Li probably doesn't want to see you and Wei Ting together. It makes him more uncomfortable than seeing you and me together."

“Haha.” I grinned, “Then I will make him even more uncomfortable in the future.”

Rong Xian frowned, "What do you mean?"

"Xiao Li also told me that the Bo family kept me because they wanted to marry me off to Wei Ting's family in the future." I took a breath, "I just found out about this too."

"What do you think?"

Rong Xian's voice suddenly dropped, "Are you willing to marry Wei Ting?"

"……I have no idea."

I actually said the exact same line as Xiao Li, "Maybe I might go back to Houhu in the future...but I want to let myself go."

"Then marry me." Rong Xian sighed, "I promised my mother that I would marry you. It looks like that's going to go down the drain."

This time it was my turn to be surprised. "When did you tell Aunt Anna?"

"When I went abroad to play a while ago." I heard the sound of Rong Xian opening the car door, "I saw that you were sad because of Xiao Li at that time, so I thought it would be better to bring you back to my own home, at least I can rest assured."

For a moment, I didn't know what to say to express my gratitude to him, but the word "gratitude" could not express the feelings between Rong Xian and me.

"That's good. When you really have a fight with the Bo family, you can come to our Rong family and we can be considered a family." Rong Xian started the car and smiled at me, "At least it's better than being bullied by both the Bo family and the Xiao family. Wei Ting is not bad."

I was silent for a long time before I asked him, "Rong Xian, why do you do so much for me?"

"It's too polite to ask this." Rong Xian answered with great ease. Over such a long time, everyone seemed to have gotten used to it. They were used to Xiao Li's indifference and silent care since high school, and they were also used to Rong Xian always thinking about me first and running around for me. They were even more used to my fragility and strength.

I know that although Xiao Li is cruel to me, he will never let me die. After living together for so long, even if we are not lovers, we have a relationship like family. He can break up with me, but he can't leave me, an old friend.

It’s like your naughty kid is giving you a headache everywhere and you want to strangle him to death, but when he is bullied outside the house, you will roll up your sleeves and fight for him without hesitation.

I sighed, "I'm always afraid of disappointing you for being so good to me."

"Hey, you're such a weird person." Rong Xian slowly drove out of the parking garage. "I'm not being nice to you for anything in return."

"I know." I still said softly, "Thank you."

Rong Xian laughed a few times, then told me that he would be back in two hours and asked me to wait a little longer. I said okay. Thinking that it was inconvenient for him to answer the phone while driving, I hung up.

After a long time, I logged into WeChat and found the contact Wei Ting.

I clicked it and quickly sent a message, "Wei Ting, my family confessed something to me."

Wei Ting replied to me, [What's the matter? ]

[Bo Yan: Did you know that our family arranged the marriage between our two families? ]

[Wei Ting: To be honest, I do know. I'm sorry for not telling you. Would you like to give me a chance to explain?]

I typed quickly and neatly, as if I was afraid of regretting it -

【Bo Yan: No need to explain. 】

【Bo Yan: Let’s get engaged. I have no objection.】

Wei Ting was stunned when he saw these words.

Maybe he didn't expect that I would say it so directly.

I waited for a long time, and Wei Ting called me with a message.

"Are you sure?"

I was stunned. Are you sure?

For some things, once you say them, there is no turning back.

I took a deep breath and then said crisply, OK.

Wei Ting quickly replied to me with one word: OK.

He was probably afraid that he would regret it, or that I would regret it.

I looked at the words for a long time and said to myself, so be it.

The dust has settled and we are clear from now on.

I closed my eyes, sighed, and put my phone away. Later, someone knocked on the door. When I opened it, I saw Bo Tiao standing outside.

"Xiao Li told you... right?"

Bo Zhuo looked at me with a frown, probably because my expression was not very good either.

"Ah."

I smiled and said, “I know everything.”

Bo Tiao looked at me silently and stopped talking. The silence between us stretched for a very long time. Later, Bo Tiao spoke first, "I didn't... do this for you..."

"enough."

My voice was soft but firm, "It's okay with me, no matter what."

Bo Zhuo was stunned.

Then he asked me incredulously, "You mean... no matter how the Bo family treated you... you..."

"I know that the Bo family kept me in order to form an alliance with the Wei family."

I said to Bo Zhuo, "I don't care if I am really a member of the Bo family or not. I can accept what happened to Wei Ting."

Bo Zhuo felt that his voice was no longer his own. "Are you willing to marry Wei Ting?"

"I am willing."

The three words were decisive, like a gamble with no way out.

Bo Ting stared at my expression for a long time, then frowned, came forward and pressed my shoulders, "Are you angry with Xiao Li, or..."

I confessed, "I was angry with Xiao Li, but I... also wanted to give myself a chance to start over."

I don't want to be dragged down by Xiao Li anymore.

Bo Zhuo stared at me blankly for a long time before he said, "I'm sorry."

This was the first time I heard the word "sorry" from my brother, with whom I had a distant blood relationship.

I said, "You have nothing to be sorry for, and no one has anything to be sorry for."

It is enough that Bo Zhuo knows that I am not a member of the Bo family and yet he helped me keep it a secret for so long. I don’t have any other requests.

I said to Bo Zhuo, "Is there anything else? If not..."

Bo Zhuo grabbed my hand and said, "Bo Yan, if you don't want to, I can send you abroad. No one can..."

"That's enough." I smiled, "Brother, you've done enough for me."

Bo Tiao was still standing there, and I saw another expression of shock on his face. Bo Tiao had always been taciturn and had a cold expression in his life, but this time, he showed such an expression.

It's like the expression of holding something in one's hand but not holding it tightly, and then suddenly shattering it.

I heard other noises downstairs. I looked down and saw Bo Yue coming back with the car keys. I said, "Maybe it's time to talk about something else."

I changed my clothes and went out again. Bo Tiao was still waiting for me outside. From the corner of my eye I saw Xiao Li walking down the stairs step by step, and I knew he must be going to pick up Bo Yue.

Bo Zhuo also turned around and said to me, "Don't worry, I will take care of everything."

I knew that Bo Zhuo was referring to the trouble between my elder and younger aunts. Since they came with such a threatening force, they must have known the true relationship between me and the Bo family, or they must have some favorable evidence in their hands.

I followed Bo Zhuo down the stairs slowly, and then I saw Bo Yue coming up to me, "Aunt had three stitches on her forehead and is still in the hospital. I just comforted her and asked her to come over. Brother..."

She spoke these words in a hurried tone, as if she was extremely worried about her aunt's safety. However, it was this tense tone that highlighted how cruel I, the culprit who caused this terrible situation, was.

I didn't say anything, but just lowered my eyes and watched her anxiously there alone.

To be honest, I never thought about whether my aunt would be hospitalized or whether she would have a serious outcome. She chose to insult me ​​with her words, so I would not give her any face.

But Bo Yue obviously didn't think so. After saying a lot about how difficult it was for my aunt, she turned the gun on me like she was the mistress of the house. Her eyes were red, as if she was feeling sorry for my aunt. "Sister, although I am your sister, I still want to say that this matter is wrong. After all, my aunt is still our own aunt. How could you hurt someone so much?"
