The Needle
in the
Cotton The Flower of Evil: Awakening and Redemption
in a Dark Dilemma colleague of Jiang Yi sent me a photo of him hugging his secretary. “Keep an eye on her, sister-in-law.”
I didn’t take it to heart.
Because Jiang Yi showed me the company photo.
In a group of beautiful girls, the secretary had a plain face and a sallow face, which could not be more ordinary.
He also complained to me about her countless times:
“I’ve never seen such a stupid person who can’t do anything well.”
“If you don’t know how to dress up, it will affect the company’s image.” The tone of
disgust is still fresh in my memory.
But later, he beat her fiance for her and was detained for 10 days. When the 10-day
detention period expired, I went to pick up Jiang Yi. He Man, his secretary, was also seen
at the gate of the police station.
She stood in the doorway with her shoulders hunched, and when she saw me, she dodged a little.
I lowered my eyes and ignored her.
When Jiang Yi came out of the police station, he immediately rushed to me and held me tightly in his arms.
“At the beginning, you still came. I miss you so much.”
I looked over Jiang Yi’s shoulder at He Man. Staring in our direction,
her eyes were red, and she cried out with sobs, “Jiang Yi..”
Jiang Yi’s body stiffened for a moment. Holding my hand, without even looking at her, she walked to the side of the road to take a taxi.
“Let’s go home first. Do you want to eat at home or out today?”
“Jiang Yi, Jiang Yi..” He Man followed him step by step, crying and repeating Jiang Yi’s name.
Just like her name has been between me and Jiang Yi for four years.
Jiang Yi still paid no attention, but his grip on my hand suddenly tightened.
“Why don’t we go to the market and buy some crabs later? You’re not the favorite.”
“Jiang Yi..” He Man still called. Why are
you so ignorant! It’s not that I didn’t hear you, but I deliberately ignored you!
“Will you stop following me? My wife is here. Are you shameless?” At the end of his patience,
Jiang Yi turned around and shouted at He Man.
Ho Man stood where he was, looking at Jiang Yi with red eyes and tears falling down.
“I just want to thank you and give you a safety rope.”
She opened her palm, and there was a red rope in her palm.
I say again, I hit that man has nothing to do with you, I just don’t like him to hit a woman! No matter who it is that day, I will help! You can get out!
Jiang Yi seemed to lose control of his emotions and dragged me directly into the car after shouting.
I looked at the red hand he pulled vigorously and lowered my eyes.
He Man never gave up and kept running behind our car. When
the driver saw it, he asked us, “The woman behind seems to be looking for you. Do you need me to stop?”
Jiang Yi said grumpily, “No!”! Let her follow if she likes!
Then he took my hand and said, “Let’s buy some ribs. Do you want to eat garlic ribs or sweet and sour short ribs?” He seemed to be
seriously discussing cooking with me.
But he did not know that his eyes had been aimed at the rearview mirror countless times, and his hand was rubbing the back of my hand unconsciously.
This is a subconscious action when he is restless.
I also looked in the rearview mirror, and Ho Man kept running behind the car. She fell down suddenly,
probably because she was in a hurry.
“Stop the car!” Jiang Yi shouted. Before
the car stopped, the door next to it had been opened.
Jiang Yi strode to He Man, not even closing the car door. In
the rearview mirror, Jiang Yi helped up He Man who had fallen to the ground.
He Man crouched and looked up at him, not knowing what he had said, but crying all the time.
Jiang Yi paused and reached out to wipe her tears.
He Man took his hand directly and put on the safety rope he had just brought.
And Jiang Yi did not mean to pull his hand back.
I withdrew my gaze and closed the open door. “Driver, let’s go.” But
the heart is desolate.
Ten days ago, when I received that phone call,
I vaguely realized that something had changed between me and Jiang Yi.
I used to work in a company, but suddenly I got a phone call from Jiang Yi’s colleague, saying,
“Something has happened to General Jiang. Sister-in-law, come here quickly!”
My heart missed a beat. I asked for leave with the leader and went directly to Jiang Yi’s company. When he
arrived, he found that Jiang Yi was beating a man on the ground. The look of anger and mania on
his face was something I had never seen before.
Like a strange Jiang Yi. The
man on the ground had been beaten by him until he was bleeding and unable to move.
But his fist did not stop.
If we continue to fight, something will happen.
I called Jiang Yi’s name beside me, but he didn’t seem to hear it.
I could only go over and pull him, “Jiang Yi, stop fighting.”
“Get out!” He just pushed me away.
I was caught off guard and fell to the ground, bruising my elbows and knees, and tears came out of my eyes.
Just as he was about to get up, he saw Ho Man rushing out of the crowd crying,
“Jiang Yi, stop fighting!”
With a sound, Jiang Yi stopped.
I stared at him, and the pain in my elbows and knees seemed to magnify in an instant, stimulating my tear ducts and making my tears flow.
Ho Man went over to pull Jiang Yi up and touched the bruise on his face with red eyes.
“Does it hurt?”
Jiang Yi seems to shake off her hand impatiently, but he still responds,
“It doesn’t hurt. Why are you crying? It’s already ugly, and now it’s even uglier.”
At this moment, they seem more like a couple.
And I’m like a clown falling to the ground. The coolness and uneasiness in
my heart are spreading.
Someone reminded Jiang Yi, “President Jiang, your sister-in-law is here.”
Jiang Yi turned his head to see me, and the panic on his face was invisible.
He ran over and helped me up from the ground. “When did you get here? Why did you fall down? Does it hurt?”
I suddenly want to laugh, but the tears flow more fiercely.
In the past, no matter how much Jiang Yi lost control, as long as I appeared, he would listen to me and calm down.
He once hugged me and said, “At the beginning, when I was impulsive, I couldn’t hear anyone calling me, but I could only hear your voice.”
He said, “Thank God for you.”
But now.
Now. How did
that man become He Man. He Man,
whom he disliked in front of me for four years.
He Man is an assistant who has been with Jiang Yi for four years. In the first year of
recruiting her, Jiang Yi and I were not married and were dating.
He Man had a fiance at that time. In
the first year, I could always hear Jiang Yi scolding her,
“I can’t even learn a simple big data capture, and I don’t know how she graduated from college.”
Remind her many times that she should dress up a little when she goes out to meet clients. If you’re ugly and don’t want to put on makeup, you’re losing the company’s face.
“I can’t have an assistant who is so stupid and doesn’t care about her image. Tomorrow I’ll tell the personnel department to fire her.”
……
But Ho Man was always there.
The next year, I married Jiang Yi. On the day of the
wedding, Herman was not on the list of invited guests. After the
wedding, Jiang Yi was taking a bath. I accidentally saw the mobile phone he left on the desktop. There was a message from He Man. After a moment’s
hesitation, I clicked on it.
Ho Man sent a message, “General Manager Jiang, I cancelled my engagement with him today.”
I frowned, not understanding why the assistant had to report the cancellation of the engagement to his superiors.
And it happened to be today when I married Jiang Yi.
Jiang Yi came out of the bathroom.
I took my cell phone and asked him, “Why did Ho Man break off the engagement?”
Jiang Yi was also speechless at the time. “How do I know? She’s either bored or mentally ill.”
He took his cell phone over, glanced at the chat records, and threw them aside. With disgust, he said,
“It doesn’t matter if you look ordinary, but it doesn’t matter if you look like that.”. Her fiance is a gambler, and when he has no money, he comes to the company all the time looking for her, making a mess of the company.
Seeing his tone of disgust, I didn’t take He Man to heart at that time.
But things seem to have changed quietly.
It was in the third year of Ho Man’s employment that one night I received a message from Jiang Yi’s colleague:
“Sister-in-law, please pay attention to her.”
I saw that the person Jiang Yi was holding in the photo was He Man.
Jiang Yi showed me a group photo of female colleagues in their company.
He Man, among the many young and beautiful girls, had a plain face and a sallow face, which could not be more ordinary.
Jiang Yi has not been pursued.
He graduated from college, looks good, and has a good job. There are many people who pursue him with high appearance and good temperament.
He didn’t care about it. After
firmly rejecting them, he would hug me and say, “My wife is the best.”
Of course, my own conditions are really not bad. I graduated from 985, and I have a job and appearance that matches him.
So I don’t think he can take a fancy to Ho Man.
And before that, Jiang Yi also reported to me that their company was having dinner and wanted to play Truth or Dare.
I think this should be his punishment after losing the big adventure.
But it still pricked a little thorn in my heart.
So, I also went to Jiang Yi’s company later.
He Man, as seen in the photo, did not dress up, wore a simple T-shirt and jeans, did not make up, and his face was yellow. She’s
sitting in the middle of some beautiful young girls. She’s really not good-looking. When
Ho Man saw me, he shrank and hid far away, as if a mouse had seen a cat. When
she came to pour tea for me, her hands trembled so that the tea spilled over the table. “I
‘m sorry, Miss Shen, I didn’t mean to..” When
Jiang Yi saw it, he shouted abuse at her. “You’re so clumsy that you can’t even do this little thing well. Get out!”
He Man cried and disappeared from my view. He Man has
always been the role of being scolded.
She is timid, ordinary, without any sparkle, and is the most blurred one in the public Facebook.
I thought Jiang Yi really hated her.
But why? The fourth year.
Jiang Yi will lose his mind and fight for the sake of He Man.
I know what happened. The man who
was beaten was Chen Nan, the fiance of He Man, who had broken off his engagement. Because he had lost a lot of money in gambling, he came to ask He Man for money.
He Man doesn’t give it.
So he slapped Ho Man directly and made her face swollen. When
Jiang Yi knew it, he rushed out immediately and beat him to death.
Chen Nan was upset and went to the police. Jiang Yi was held in administrative detention for 10 days. Before
going in, Jiang Yi hugged me tightly.
“It’s not what you think. When I come out, I’ll give you an explanation.”
……
But what about the explanation for me?
Did he leave me in a panic to see the fallen Ho Man,
or did he put on the safety rope she gave him?
I sat alone in the car, and unconsciously I had tears streaming down my face, and my heart was dead.
When I got home, there was still the food I had cooked on the table.
I sat at the table from dawn to dusk, watching them go from delicious to unappetizing.
But always can’t wait for Jiang Yi.
I lay down to rest, and Jiang Yi came back very late.
He came over and hugged me and called my name softly, “Chuchu, Chuchu..”
I closed my eyes and pretended to be asleep.
He walked to the bathroom.
I opened my eyes and saw that he was wearing the safety rope on his wrist.
Jiang Yi came out of the bathroom and his cell phone rang.
Probably thinking I was asleep, he answered in his room in a low voice.
“What’s the matter?”
The bedroom was dark and silent, and I could hear the voice of the speaker in the receiver.
It was Yang De, a colleague and friend of Jiang Yi’s.
“Ho Man has resigned in order not to let that incident affect you.”
“She broke off her engagement for you before, and I heard that she had been pestered by her fiance because of this.”
「…… She likes you, and I don’t believe you can’t see it.
“She has done so much for you. Don’t let her down.”
Jiang Yi was silent for a long time.
Long enough to give me the illusion that he had hung up.
And then I heard him say,
“I know.” The other half of the
4
bed collapsed.
Jiang Yi also lay down.
Usually he would come and hug me, but now we are back to back, and the distance between us is like a gully. I can’t
fill it up.
His mobile phone was on all night.
……
In the morning, after Jiang Yi went out, I didn’t go to work. I asked for leave to go to the hospital
because my stomach was a little uncomfortable. I happened to meet Jiang Yi’s friend Yang De
there.
He saw me, too.
Have a cup of coffee. I say.
Yang says bluntly, “It’s not necessary to drink coffee. I know what you want to ask, about Ho Man, right?”
“Ho Man is not as beautiful as you, not as wealthy as you, not as good as you.”
“But she cooks for Jiang Yi and helps him drink. Many times when Jiang Yi is in a bad mood, she accompanies him. Isn’t that what men want?”.
And all you give Jiang Yi is pressure. His family is not as well off as yours, and he is afraid of being rejected by your parents, so he can only work hard and treat you like a princess.
“So, don’t ask why. You’d better reflect on yourself first.”
I listened to these words in disbelief.
My family is better off than Jiang Yi, but my parents saw that he was steady and progressive, and did not ask him to have a car and a house when he got married.
Later, he gave him a lot of support in his work, both in terms of financial resources and contacts.
It can be said that without the support of my parents, there would be no successful Jiang Yi today.
But now, he complains that these are all pressures? When he
read the wedding vows, he also vowed that he would never let me suffer any grievance and would hold me as a treasure.
Now, it’s also his pressure. The bitterness in
my heart is spreading, and I laugh out loud. Drive back
from the hospital. When
he got home, Jiang Yi was answering the phone. When
he saw me, his face was obviously guilty, and he almost immediately turned to the balcony to answer the phone. Only
a few minutes later did he come in. With an irritable look on his face, he said
, “When a newly recruited assistant calls, he always calls me to ask me about anything big.” I
lowered my eyes.
Actually, I heard it. What
he said was.. Resume. Looking for a job. The only job I need to find
now is Ho Man. I
just didn’t expect that Ho Man’s resume was sent to my company. When a colleague in the
personnel department saw her resume, he even said, “This person’s resume is really good.” The first time
I saw the resume, I knew it was made by Jiang Yi.
Color matching and typesetting, every place has his personal habits.
Jiang Yi’s resume is very good. I made the first edition of all my resumes by myself, and then he helped me revise and polish them.
At the time, I joked, “Do you want to do a side job helping people revise their resumes?”? It must be very profitable.
He smiled and pinched my face. “My time is precious. I don’t have time to read anyone else’s resume except yours.”
Now, all the only is like a joke. I
lowered my eyes and had an idea in my heart. When I returned my
resume to the girl who was in charge of recruiting, I pretended to be casual and said, “She looks good.”
The listener has a heart.
He Man entered our company in this way.
She still came to work without makeup, with a yellow face, wearing a plain T-shirt and jeans. He also wore a red safety rope on
his wrist. It’s exactly the same
as Jiang Yi’s. When she
saw me, she wasn’t surprised. She said hello, “Miss Shen.”
I gave her a look.
Later, we met in the tea room. Besides me and He Man, there was also Sister Bin, who was keen to introduce people.
Xiaoman doesn’t have a boyfriend yet? I’ll introduce you to one. It’s a pretty good job.
He Man hesitated to say that he didn’t need it.
But when she saw me come in, her eyes suddenly changed, and so did her attitude.
Smiling, she agreed, “Thank you, Sister Bin. I’ll see you later.” Before
I knew it, Ho Man pulled out a tissue and covered my hand with it.
“Miss Shen, be careful.”
Speaking of concern, her face was somewhat ready to move and proud.
I frowned. At
dinner in the evening, Jiang Yi was absent-minded while playing with his mobile phone.
Caught off guard, he smashed his cell phone on the table and said angrily,
“Are women so afraid that they won’t get married that they rush off to blind dates day after day?”
Blind date.
Think of the conversation between He Man and Sister Bin in the tea room.
I didn’t ask him who he was talking about. I just said,
“It’s normal for a man to be unmarried and a woman to be unmarried. Isn’t it normal to have a blind date at the right age? Why are you so angry?”
Jiang Yi choked for a moment and put some vegetables in my bowl. Then he abruptly changed the subject, “Eat more vegetables. They’re very fresh.” After about ten o’clock in the
evening, a call came in from Jiang Yi’s mobile phone.
We were sitting in the living room watching a movie, and his cell phone was on the tea table. As soon as
the phone lit up, I saw the word He Man at a glance. Embarrassed,
Jiang Yi touched his nose and hung up the phone, swearing.
“Why are you calling me at night? You’re sick.” At
the same time, he reached out to pick up the phone, muted it, and put it back in his pocket.
He still accompanied me to sit on the sofa and watch movies as if nothing had happened.
Ten minutes later he suddenly stood up and said, “Remembering that there is still one mail that hasn’t been dealt with today, you look at it first, and I’ll go and deal with it.”
I clenched the remote control in my hand. “Mmm.”
Because our study has been specially soundproofed, Jiang Yi never closes the door when he works in it.
He said, “I’m afraid I won’t hear you when you call me.”
But now the door of the study is closed.
A few minutes later, the door of the study was suddenly pushed open.
Jiang Yi held his cell phone and looked at me angrily.
“I told you I had nothing to do with Ho Man. Why did you do this?!”
I don’t understand. “What did I do?”
“You know in your heart!” Then he slammed the door and left the house.
I don’t know.
I didn’t do anything. Why should I bear such anger for no reason.
I followed Jiang Yi out the door and followed him all the way to the bar.
I saw He Man squatting on the side of the road. Today,
she seems to be different from usual, specially dressed up, no longer T-shirt jeans, but wearing a red sleeveless dress skirt. She had some makeup on
her face and high heels on her feet.
When she saw Jiang Yi get out of the car, she immediately stood up and ran to him crying. At the
last step, she twisted her foot and fell directly into Jiang Yi’s arms.
Jiang Yi naturally reached out to support her.
It looks like a couple hugging on the side of the road.
Ho Man sobbed in his arms. “I shouldn’t have disturbed you and Miss Shen so late, but he touched me, and I was really scared..”
Jiang Yi took off his coat and put it on Ho Man. “You can come to me whenever you have something to do.” I
felt as if I had been nailed in place.
The wind poured into me from all directions, and the cold from the bottom of my heart spread to my limbs and bones.
I called him, “Jiang Yi.”
They both turned to look at me at the same time.
Ho Man rolled his eyes and pushed Jiang Yi away. Then he sobbed and explained to me,
“Don’t get me wrong, Miss Shen. I really have nothing to do with Jiang.”
“I was just so flustered that I didn’t know who to call, so I had to call him..”
“Don’t blame General Manager Jiang. If you want to blame him, just blame me.” As she
spoke, she cried more and more fiercely, and the clothes she was wearing slipped down, revealing the obvious traces of pinching red on her arms. When
Jiang Yi saw me, he was still guilty and flustered. When he saw the red mark on his arm
again, his eyes went cold in an instant.
“You don’t have to apologize to her. If she hadn’t introduced you to such a scum blind date, you wouldn’t have been bullied by him tonight.”
“If you want to apologize, she’s the one who apologized to you.”
I looked at Jiang Yi in disbelief and suddenly felt ridiculous when I understood the reason why he suddenly lost his temper tonight.
So is he angry with He Man for going on a blind date, or is he angry with me for introducing a scum object to He Man, or is he angry with Jiang Man for being molested?
Or all three.
But he got it wrong, and none of these three have anything to do with me.
The wind makes my eyes hurt.
I took a deep breath and controlled my emotions. “It wasn’t me.”
“It wasn’t Miss Shen who introduced me to him. It was me who wanted to know him.” Ho Man grabbed the words with tears in his eyes.
She went to pull Jiang Yi’s hand and looked at him pitifully with tears in her eyes.
“I know the company is gossiping because you helped me beat Chen Nan, and Miss Shen is unhappy because of this, so I want to get married quickly, so you won’t be criticized by others.”
Jiang Yi says, “You don’t have to worry about the company’s gossip, and you don’t have to speak for her.”
“Before she introduced you to someone, she didn’t understand their character, and it was her fault that you were bullied tonight.”
Jiang Yi looked at me. “At the beginning, you apologize to Ho Man.”
The tone was cold and hard, as if he were speaking to a stranger. I
remember that when I first joined the company, an old employee lost the data.
But to keep his job, he put the blame on me.
He’s a professional deep-fried dough sticks, and he’s got all the evidence, and everyone thinks it’s my fault.
I was wronged to call Jiang Yi.
Jiang Yi told me not to cry, and finally he came to help me solve the problem.
I asked Jiang Yi, “Have you ever doubted me?”
He hugged me and said, “If you say no, I will trust you unconditionally.”
I sniffed, clenched my fists and said, “Jiang Yi, I said it wasn’t me.”
Ho Man took the opportunity to interject, “Jiang Yi, this has nothing to do with Miss Shen.”
I couldn’t stand it anymore. “Shut up!”
“Enough!” Jiang Yi roared at me.
At the beginning, I am so disappointed in you. You’ve never been able to tell a lie before. Admit your mistakes and correct them.
I laughed to tears.
I’m not wrong. What do I know? Who is wrong
now? Who is the one who
doesn’t recognize? Again and again,
he shattered the beautiful thoughts left by me in the past eight years.
I am sad, sad that we should be good, but it has become like this.
Sad that the eight years of mispayment, to the final defeat.
I looked at Jiang Yi, obviously in front of me, but his face gradually blurred in my heart. Something
in my heart is gradually collapsing.
Tears fell uncontrollably.
Jiang Yi suddenly panicked. “At the beginning, I..”
He wants to come to me.
He Man suddenly sneezed and stopped Jiang Yi from coming.
She took off her coat and returned it to Jiang Yi. Holding her arms, she looked sensible and pitiful with red eyes.
“You give your coat to Miss Shen to wear, and then send her home.”. I can do it alone.
Jiang Yi took one look at me and finally put his coat back on Ho Man.
“It doesn’t matter. Since I’ve already come, I should send you back.”
He turned to me and said, “Go back and calm down. I’ll go back later.”
I watched Ho Man sit in the co-pilot’s seat.
The car started slowly.
He Man lowered the window and looked at me with a smile.
Provocative and glaring.
I stood there for a long time.
The tears have been dried by the wind, and the corners of collapse have been slowly rebuilt and strengthened by me. I don’t want
rotten feelings.
But it won’t help them.
Interlopers and betrayers are not worthy of consummation.
A clear plan was gradually built in my mind.
I won’t lose. He Man, who came to work
today, is very different from usual.
She wore makeup, a plain white dress, and the most conspicuous thing was the necklace she wore around her neck.
Because she had changed so much today, her colleagues gathered around curiously to ask if something good was coming.
She smiled coyly. “No, I just suddenly wanted to change myself.”
“I just saw your necklace when I went to the mall the day before yesterday. It costs more than 20,000 yuan. Xiaoman, the price of your change is not small.”
Ho Man unconsciously raised his head and touched the necklace around his neck with his hand.
“It’s not my money, it’s a gift from someone else.”
“Oh, this other person must not be an ordinary person. Ordinary people would not give such an expensive gift.”
They were chatting in the tea room, I was grinding coffee by hand, and all the conversation went into my ears.
Seeing that I didn’t join in, He Man came over deliberately, and the diamond necklace around his neck was very shiny.
“Miss Shen, can I help you?”
One night, she really changed a lot, no longer as timid as before, that ostentatious look as if the victory was in hand.
I looked coldly. “No, thank you.” The other people in
the tea room had left one after another, leaving only me and her.
She added, “I’m sorry. When Jiang Yi sent me back last night, the water heater and shower in my bathroom were broken. He helped me fix it for a long time and wet my clothes. I saw that it was not convenient for him to go back, so I left him at my house for the night.”
“But don’t worry, Miss Shen, Jiang Yi slept on the sofa in the living room, and we didn’t have any relationship.”
“Do you want to rob?” I say.
Ho Man froze. “What?”
“Want to rob Jiang Yi?” I looked at her and repeated it.
He Man was not sure what I meant for a moment. He looked at me quietly and did not answer.
I continued, “But do you think Jiang Yi will divorce me?”
“Your family is ordinary, and you have a gambler who is entangled with you, and you have your own conditions.” I challenged her, “Herman, what confidence do you have to take him away?”
Ho Man was so angry that his face turned red and white. “Don’t look down on people!”! You are just relying on reincarnation. Don’t think you are superior to others. Jiang Yi is not such a superficial person!
Is it? Then I’ll wait.
Don’t let me down
I looked at her resentful and vicious eyes and left with the brewed coffee.
……
I went to find Sister Bin and gave her Jiang Yi’s mobile phone number and asked her to do one thing. After work in the
afternoon, Jiang Yi appeared at the gate of the company with flowers in his hands. He Man and
I walked out of the door of the company.
Ho Man jumped up and down and waved to Jiang Yi. “Jiang Yi –”
Jiang Yi just glanced at her, holding the flowers in his hand, and passed by her and walked toward me.
He looked guilty. “I’m sorry, Chuchu. I was wrong about you yesterday.”
I asked Sister Bin to tell me that she introduced the blind date to He Man.
He Man stood by and did not go, his eyes stayed on me like a needle prick.
I lowered my eyes and pinched the palm of my hand, so that I could squeeze out a few tears. Looking up
again, I changed my expression and looked at Jiang Yi with tears in my eyes.
“I told you many times yesterday, but you didn’t believe me. You left me alone by the side of the road.”
“You never did this before. You said you would trust me no matter what.”
I know Jiang Yi.
He is a softhearted and guilty person, especially sympathetic to the disadvantaged.
He Man is using him to squeeze into us step by step.
If she uses it, I will use it.
And I will use it better. Jiang Yi felt more guilty when he
saw me crying and remembered that he had wronged me yesterday.
He held the flowers in one hand and held me in his arms with the other. He patted me on the back and apologized in a low voice.
“I’m sorry, I’m sorry. Don’t cry, okay? I’ll take you to eat delicious food later.”
I turned my face sideways against Jiang Yi’s chest and looked at Jiang Man.
She stared at me, and the jealousy and anger in her eyes almost burned me to ashes.
I picked the corners of my mouth.
My tears that day played a role, and the guilt made Jiang Yi stay at home these days.
Occasionally, there would be a few phone calls, and he would sneak to the balcony to answer them.
But after that, he stayed at home and didn’t go out.
During this period I did not mention the matter of He Man, Jiang Yi will not take the initiative to mention.
I keep telling myself, don’t worry, it’s not time. In
the past few days, Ho Man has been looking at me with hatred in the company.
“It’s no use forcing a person who doesn’t love you to be around. This will only make him more painful and hate you even more.”
I looked at her with an expressionless face. “Didn’t I let you rob it yourself? Who can blame you?”
“You!” Ho Man’s eyes were cruel, and he pointed at me with his hand. “Don’t speak too early. You wait for me!”
The next day, Ho Man called in sick. At about 9 o’clock
that evening, Jiang Yi’s cell phone kept ringing.
He hung up many times and finally got up and went to the balcony to pick him up. After
answering the phone, he looked hurried. “At the beginning, the company had something urgent to work overtime, so I went back first.”. You don’t have to wait for me. Go to bed first.
「…… OK
I watched him hurrying out of the door and turned to continue reading my Hachiko.
About 20 minutes later, I picked up my cell phone and saw Ho Man posting in his circle of friends,
“You said I could come to you whenever I had something to do.”. You did it.
With a picture of her having an intravenous drip in the hospital. In the
photo, another hand is holding the infusion tube of the transfusion bottle, acting as a heating treasure, so that the liquid medicine flowing into the blood vessel is not so cold.
Both of them had red safety ropes on their hands.
No face, but I know who it is. The young intern who just came to the
company commented below:
Xiaoman sister should pay attention to your health. (PS: Your boyfriend is so nice that he even uses his hand to warm your infusion tube.)
Ho Man replied, “Thank you for your concern, but it’s not a boyfriend.”
Intern: “No, I’m ready too!”! In the middle of the night, I accompany you to have an intravenous drip, and I wear a lover’s hand rope!
I got up and took the car keys and drove to the hospital.
Standing outside the door of the infusion room, I saw He Man close his eyes and lean on Jiang Yi’s shoulder, one of Jiang Yi’s hands still holding the infusion tube.
I looked at it calmly, and my heart was calm.
But I have to cry.
I began to recall the movie scene in Hachiko, where the dog Hachiko did not know that Professor Parker was gone, and he still went to the station day after day to wait for Professor Parker until he was old and hobbled.
Finally, Mrs. Parker came back to the old place and cried, “You will be ill. Are you still waiting for him?”
It’s still waiting.
It’s been waiting.
It explains love, loyalty and waiting.
Dogs can do things, but people can’t.
I think, in the future, I will keep a dog.
I finally shed tears, with tears into the infusion room, with tears and pain to call Jiang Yi’s name,
“Jiang Yi..” Didn’t you say you were working overtime at the company? When
Jiang Yi saw me, he was stupefied for a moment. Then, in a panic, he pushed Ho Man away and stood up. He even stammered,
“Chuchu, what are you doing here?” I
picked up the stomach medicine I had prepared. “I just went through the spare medicine cabinet and found that your stomach medicine was gone. I was worried that you would have a stomachache when you came back from overtime, so I hurried out to buy it for you.” With tears in my eyes,
I bit my lip and looked at Ho Man and then at him. “But shouldn’t I have come?”
“If you have a stomachache, remember to eat. I’ll go first.”
I put the medicine on the ground and turned away.
I heard footsteps coming after me, and then Ho Man shouted, “Jiang Yi!”
But Jiang Yi ran after me outside.
“Chu Chu.” Jiang Yi pulled me anxiously.
I didn’t cry or make a scene. I just looked at him with red eyes.
His expression was confused, guilty and urgent.
“At the beginning, I and Ho Man, we, we didn’t have anything to do with each other. I just took care of her as a sister.”
“You know, she was my assistant for four years, and finally she quit for me. I, I have an obligation to take care of her.”
I cried, “But the first time you wronged me for Ho Man, you left me on the side of the road. This time, you tricked me into working overtime, but you came to accompany Ho Man to have an injection. I was worried that you had a stomachache and had no medicine to take, so I came out in the middle of the night to buy it for you.”
“You said she was with you for four years. What about the eight years we were together?”
“How can I trust you?”
Jiang Yi’s guilt grew deeper and deeper. As he wiped my tears, he raised his hand and swore,
“I will never be alone with Ho Man again. If this happens again, it will be like a thunderbolt, okay?”. I
lowered my eyes. Only
a child believes in such an empty oath. That’s not what
I want.
But I softened my voice. “Then you can’t lie to me again.”
This night, Jiang Yi did not stay with He Man, but went home with me. He Man was very angry about
this matter.
In the company, she smashed my cup. “Shen Nianchu, why don’t you let Jiang Yi see me?”? I was the one who accompanied him when he had an emotional breakdown, I was the one who blocked his wine, and I was the one who cooked for him! It’s me he likes, and you have no right to stop him!
I sent her the price of the cup and said lightly, “I am his wife in law.”
He Man choked and finally blushed and shouted at the top of his voice, “There’s always a time when you cry!”
“I’ll wait.”
And then Herman went crazy.
Jiang Yi refused to see her, so she followed her from the company to the downstairs of the community to wait.
She stood directly below the balcony of my house and persistently sent a message to Jiang Yi,
“Jiang Yi, will you come down and see me?”
“Jiang Yi, I just like you. Am I wrong?”
“Jiang Yi, it’s really cold down there. I miss you so much.”
She followed Jiang Yi for a month, and Jiang Yi never saw her alone.
Jiang Yi seemed to come to me to claim credit. “At the beginning, I did everything I promised you. I didn’t go to see her.”
I looked at him and did not speak. The wind
blew in the evening, and it began to drizzle.
When I came out of the study, I happened to see Jiang Yi hurrying into the living room from the balcony. When he
saw me, he paused for a moment and explained in a panic, “It’s raining. I’ll see if there are any clothes to be collected on the balcony.” You can see Ho Man from the
balcony.
I didn’t debunk it.
The later it is, the heavier the rain will be.
I lay down and Jiang Yi took a shower in the bathroom.
His cell phone still keeps popping up messages:
“Jiang Yi, it’s thundering. I’m so scared. Can you come down and stay with me?”
“Jiang Yi, today is my birthday. I want to spend it with you.”
“Jiang Yi, I won’t leave without you.” The sound of the water in the
bathroom stopped, and I put down my cell phone and closed my eyes. The other side of the
bed caved in. There was a storm, lightning and thunder
outside the window.
For a long time, I heard Jiang Yi softly calling my name, “Chuchu, are you asleep?”
I closed my eyes and did not respond.
Then he gently lifted the quilt and got up and walked out of the bedroom door.
I also calmly got up and went to the balcony.
He Man is really a desperate madman. In the
heavy rain, she did not hide, but stood under the street lamp, soaking wet.
Jiang Yi gradually appeared in my field of vision.
He Man saw him, too.
She ran directly to him, and without saying a word, she hooked her foot around his neck and kissed him.
Jiang Yi at first just let her kiss, and finally reached out to embrace her waist, turn the tables and deepen the kiss.
Rainy night, under the street lamp, kiss.
How romantic.
I watched calmly.
Jiang Yi didn’t come back all night.
I didn’t sleep all night, either.
He Man first posted a message on Moments at 1 am:
It’s a little late, but as long as it’s the right person, it’s never late. Happy birthday to me and may you be happy forever.
The picture shows her cutting a cake with a knife in her other hand. He wore a red safety rope on
both hands.
I gave a like. At 5
am, He Man sent me a picture directly.
She slept on the bed with Jiang Yi half naked.
The lower half of the body has been covered by the quilt.
Herman: “Who says I can’t have him?” I
thought I had been able to deal with it calmly, but when I saw this picture, my stomach was still uncomfortable.
I rushed into the bathroom and threw up.
It’s so dirty.
After spitting up, I sent a message to my best friend Yeh Ching, saying,
“It’s time to close the net.”
I was at Ye Qing’s house, and she was the only one who knew what I was going to do.
This matter needs her help so as not to make Jiang Yi suspicious.
Jiang Yi is outside the door. “Can you let me go in and explain to Chuchu?”
Last night I just wanted to go down and give Ho Man umbrella, but I didn’t expect her to kiss her directly and ask me to take her home. Later, she kept urging me to drink, and after that I didn’t know what had happened.
“I didn’t mean to go to bed with Ho Man. At the beginning, will you come out and see me?”
I sent him the picture that he man sent me directly this morning.
He called my phone like crazy.
I didn’t answer one. I didn’t go out to see him
until he was almost out of the way.
“Get a divorce, Jiang Yi.” Let me get this straight.
Jiang Yi didn’t even want to shake his head. “It’s impossible, Chuchu.”. I will not divorce you.
“Believe me, I don’t like Herman. It was an accident that I was with her last night.”
His reaction was expected.
I know Jiang Yi.
He will only feel guilty again and again, but he will not change, and he will not admit his infidelity in his feelings.
So he can’t agree to divorce.
But it doesn’t matter. Divorce is not the purpose of my step.
I said, “You swore last time that you would never see Herman alone again, but what did you do last night?”
“When I woke up in the middle of the night, I saw that you weren’t there, and I thought something had happened to you.”
I kept calling your phone, but it was off again. I was so worried about you that I couldn’t sleep all night, but what about you?
“You sleep next to Homan.”
“Jiang Yi, you lied to me three times. How can I trust you?”
Jiang Yi is eager to prove himself. “At the beginning, you believe me again. You can let me do anything except divorce.”
I lowered my eyes and did not answer.
Ye Qing tacitly threw out a marital property agreement and forced him to say,
“It’s useless to talk nonsense. There’s no proof. Unless you sign this agreement, I won’t let Chuchu go back with you.”
This marital property agreement clearly lists the property ownership of Jiang Yi and me after the divorce.
If I divorce Jiang Yi, all our property and shares will belong to me.
Generally speaking, if you divorce, Jiang Yi will leave the house.
At this moment, Jiang Yi is eager to keep me and want to make up for me because of guilt.
He thought, as long as you don’t divorce, you can say anything.
And, as long as there is no divorce, this agreement will never work.
He doesn’t think he will get divorced.
So, without hesitation, he signed the agreement.
And the other one, Ho Man, she was so proud of herself in the company today that she grinned to the root of her ears. As soon as
I got to the tea room, she followed me and said,
“The photos aren’t very good, so you can just look at them.”
“I told you that Jiang Yi likes me now. It’s useless for you to force marriage to keep him. Get a divorce as soon as possible.”
I turned to her. “How do you know I didn’t mention divorce?”
I played a recording.
“Let’s divorce, Jiang Yi.”
“At the beginning, trust me again. You can let me do anything except divorce.”
I said, “I mentioned it, but I couldn’t help it. Jiang Yi begged me not to divorce.” After listening to the recording,
He Man’s face turned white and his body stood stiffly in place.
“Again, if you have the ability, come and grab it.”
Of course, I will also pass the knife.
And it’s a very sharp knife.
So, before I could get out of the tea room, I took out my cell phone and called,
“Dr. Lu?”? Can I make an appointment with you for a uterine surgery next month.. Yes, after all these years, I still haven’t conceived.
He Man’s eyes changed in an instant.
……
He Man stopped for almost a month.
This month, she just went to work on time, did not come to provoke me, nor did she look for Jiang Yi.
Jiang Yi is more honest after that day, except for the necessary working hours, almost all of them are tired of my side.
It’s like trying to prove something.
It’s just that occasionally I look at my mobile phone in a daze. More than
a month later, He Man suddenly made up again and came to the company in high heels.
She came to me and said, “Do you still think I can’t beat you?”
I looked at her flatly.
She said, “I’m pregnant, Jiang Yi.”
That night, Jiang Yi did not come back.
The next day, Jiang Yi still did not come back. On
the third day, Jiang Yi returned.
His chin was covered with stubble, and his whole face looked haggard, but his eyes were very bright.
Just like the look in my eyes when I agreed to his proposal.
However, what he is saying to me now is,
“At the beginning, let’s divorce.”
I sipped my milk. “May I know why?”
He said, “Herman is pregnant.”
You can’t have children. We haven’t had children for so many years. But I’m a man, and I want to have a child to carry on the family line.
“All the property is given to you and I accept it as my compensation to you.”
I lowered my head to hide all the emotions in my eyes. OK
I went through the divorce formalities with Jiang Yi.
The next day, He Man almost couldn’t wait to pull Jiang Yi to get the marriage certificate. As soon as she
got the certificate, she told everyone,
“I always believed that in the end it would only be you and me.” When Ho Man
arrived at the company, he couldn’t wait to show off to me. He threw their marriage certificate in front of me.
“Did you see the words on it clearly?”? Ho Man, Jiang Yi.
“Now I am Jiang Yi’s lawful wife.” “Congratulations,”
I said lightly.
She snorted, “It’s really cheap for you to divide the divorce property equally.”. But you can’t have children. For the sake of you being an incomplete woman, this money will be given to you by me and Jiang Yi for your old age.
I said quietly, “Who says I can’t have a baby?”
“You called the other day to say that, and Jiang Yi also said that you had been preparing for pregnancy all these years, but none of you were pregnant. When you went to the hospital for a check-up, it was your problem!”.
“Oh.” I just smiled and stopped talking about it.
“And who told you that when I divorced Jiang Yi, the property was divided equally?”
Ho Man froze for a moment. “What do you mean?”
I said, “Isn’t it touching that Jiang Yi is willing to leave the house for the sake of your children?”
“Oh, you don’t know yet, because I advised Jiang Yi not to tell you about it for the time being.”
He Man was stunned, and finally he didn’t even go to work and ran home directly.
I heard that she went back and had a big fight with Jiang Yi, and wanted Jiang Yi to come to me to get the money back.
But pass legal notarization, the property that has turned to my name, how can let a person take easily again?
Now Jiang Yi is an ordinary white-collar worker who gets thousands of yuan a month, without company shares or any property.
Herman’s dream of being a rich man’s wife is broken.
She was not reconciled and came to make trouble with me, but she was fired by the company.
Now every time she appears at the gate of the company, the security guards stop her and don’t let her in at all.
I also took advantage of this reason to ask for a long vacation with the company and prepare to travel to relax.
However, before departure, I sent a gift to Jiang Yi.
His infertility report. In the second year of
marriage, Jiang Yi and I had plans to have children.
But we’ve been pregnant for a year, and my belly doesn’t move.
My mother advised me to have a check-up with Jiang Yi. It happened that Jiang Yi was busy
at that time, and I went to get the result of the examination by myself. I was in a trance when I
saw the result, and I was not in a good state when I got home.
Jiang Yi asked me the results of the examination. My
face was pale and I looked at him with a complicated look, not knowing how to speak.
He also looked at me for a long time, then hugged me and said, “It doesn’t matter if you can’t have children. We just don’t want to have children.”
I froze for a moment, moved my lips, and finally said nothing.
Later, Jiang Yi’s mother did not know how to hear about this and called to threaten to die or live. He
said he couldn’t marry a wife who couldn’t bear children and asked him to divorce me immediately.
Jiang Yi said directly, “Even if you beat me to death, I won’t divorce Chu Chu.”
I know that Jiang Yi is actually a traditional person like his parents, and I also know his desire for children.
He should be very determined to say these words for me.
I was moved by his sincerity at that time, so I took the blame. After receiving the report,
Jiang Yi was reluctant to believe it at first and went to the hospital for a check-up. He broke down when he
saw the same results of the infertility test.
He went back to question Hermann as to whose child it was.
He Man is reluctant to say.
Jiang Yi began to beat her and forced her to miscarry.
He Man was afraid that Jiang Yi would kill her, so he quickly said that the child belonged to her ex-fiance Chen Nan.
Chen Nan is a gambler who always comes to He Man for money and sometimes forces him to have sex with her.
If she didn’t, she threatened to go back and beat her parents to death.
Chen Nan said that he was a rotten life, and it was worth pulling a few cushions before he died.
He Man was pregnant the night Chen Nan came to look for her.
Ho Man wept and explained to Jiang Yi, “I wanted to abort the baby, but Shen Nianchu said she couldn’t get pregnant, so I wanted to use the baby to force you to divorce her and marry me!” As
Ho Man spoke, he suddenly realized, “Shen Nianchu, she lied to me!”! It’s all Shen Nianchu’s fault! She deliberately made me think that she couldn’t get pregnant, so she goaded me into lying to you and forced you to divorce her.
“She first goaded me to come to you again and again, and then she showed up as an injured person to make you feel guilty, to make you feel bad, to make you want to make up for him, and then to sign that marital property agreement to leave the house clean!”
“She deliberately let me know the false news that she couldn’t get pregnant, and then used the child to force you to divorce her.”
“The first step is to find a way to get you to sign a marital property agreement, and the second step is to find a way to get you divorced.” If
you leave the house clean, I won’t get anything.. She even knows about my pregnancy. She is the final winner!
Ho Man laughs like crazy, “Ha ha ha ha, Shen Nianchu, you really played a good game of chess!”
Jiang Yi fell to the ground dejectedly, as if he had aged more than ten years for a moment.
How did this happen.
How did this happen!
He has nothing.
He doesn’t have anything!
I sent them a second gift.
I tried to get someone to tell Chen Nan, the former fiance of He Man, that He Man is now married to a rich man.
Chen Nan appeared beside them in a haunting manner.
He’s a desperate gambler. He’s not afraid of anything. He wants to suck the blood of both of them.
No money to ask He Man, He Man did not give to ask Jiang Yi, Jiang Yi did not give him began to make trouble. Smash things
at home, or catch Ho Man to fight.
Jiang Yi couldn’t stand such a day and divorced He Manti.
But He Man refused anyway, she was afraid to face Chen Nan alone, she just wanted to pull a person into the water. It’s better for
two people to face Chen Nan than one.
So now, Chen Nan has been entangled between the two of them.
Just like He Man at that time, he was always entangled between me and Jiang Yi.
Because Chen Nan owed money and did not pay it back, there were often debt collectors who went to their house to collect money and smashed things if they had no money to pay it back. As
a last resort, they can only move frequently, like rats crossing the street, living a life of ghosts and ghosts. I also sent a gift from
Yang De.
I sent the evidence of his embezzlement to their company.
The amount is huge.
The company went through legal procedures directly, and he not only had to compensate the company for its losses, but also had to go to prison.
Jiang Yi suddenly came to me.
He was much more haggard than before, his eye sockets were sunken, his beard was unshaven, his clothes were wrinkled, and he was very decadent.
Looks like he’s having a hard time.
“Chu Chu..” He called me. “Don’t come any closer,”
I said coldly. He
stood where he was and looked at me helplessly.
“I knew I was wrong. I was obsessed and cheated by Ho Man. I shouldn’t have sympathized with her, nor should I have betrayed you.”
I didn’t know you.. You have taken the blame for my sterility.
“I’m sorry, Chuchu. I’m really sorry. Can you forgive me?”
“Impossible.” I turned around and left.
He shouted at the top of his voice behind me, “Chuchu, are you really that cruel?”? We’ve been together for eight years, and you can forget it if you say so. What are these eight years in your heart?!
I feel ridiculous.
Who betrayed the relationship first? Who
was unfaithful in this relationship? Why would
he question me like that?
But I don’t want to argue anymore. People and things that don’t matter are not worth wasting my emotions.
I said, “I’m out of luck.”
Then I got a little dog named rice cake, who waited for me to get off work and took a walk with me. After
work, I will travel with Ye Qing to relax.
About Jiang Yi and He Man, I have not paid attention to it again, nor is it worth my trouble to inquire about it.
The past is gone.
Later.
At this point, flowers are given to oneself, and horses step on flowers to freedom.
