But Li Zong's mobile phone also prompted: "Sorry, the number you dialed is currently unavailable..."
Ruan Bai suddenly felt restless.
Don't worry about it.
She called Li Ni again.
Li Ni quickly answered and asked: "What's wrong with you, honey?"
Ruan Bai told her everything.
Li Ni said: "Maybe my mother was called to play mahjong at the last minute, right? You don't know, my mother can't hear her cell phone when she's playing mahjong. As for my brother, he's probably busy."
When Li Ni said this, Ruan Bai didn't think much about it.
Putting down her phone, Ruan Bai went to the bathroom to take a shower. After taking a shower, she felt a little more energetic. As she wiped her hair, she saw the phone ringing on the coffee table in the living room.
The caller is Li Zong.
"Hello." Ruan Bai answered immediately.
Li Zong was silent on the other end of the phone. For a long time, he seemed to have endured something, and asked coldly: "Ruan Bai, what men have you seen behind my back?"
"I... what men have I seen behind your back?" Ruan Bai said abruptly, not understanding what Li Zong meant at all.
Li Zong suddenly raised his voice, his voice hoarse: "You are still pretending to be innocent with me! Ruan Bai, I suddenly feel that I can't see through you. Tell me, which one is the real you!"
Ruan Bai's hand that was originally holding the phone turned into a tight grip on the phone.
Li Zong's words were still fierce, and he complained about himself: "Tell me, who am I to you? Where will you end up after you have had enough fun? The unlucky takeover? The legendary honest man with a green light on his head?"
Li Zong's angry voice was like an ice knife, penetrating through the phone and piercing Ruan Bai's ears.
"Calm down first. Is there any misunderstanding between us?" Ruan Bai frowned and looked unhappy.
Li Zong sneered, which can also be said to be a mockery: "Misunderstanding? There is no misunderstanding! Now, I only hate that I was too stupid for trusting you unconditionally all the time. I hate that I didn't believe Ruan Meimei's words when I was abroad! Xiaobai,
Ruan Meimei didn't lie, right? Secretly, you had sex with men when you were studying abroad."
Li Zong's last sentence is a declarative sentence, not a question.
How does it feel to be accused by your partner who is about to get married that there is something wrong with your personal style?
Ruan Bai was so angry that his hands were shaking.
Before she could speak, Li Zong said fiercely, "When I was abroad, you always said you were working part-time when I asked you out, but you were actually lying to me, right? Thinking about it now, there are so many doubts!
If it’s true, as you said, that you work multiple jobs a day, how come I’ve never seen dark circles on your face?”
"So, you think I lied when I said I was working, so what on earth did I do?" Ruan Bai's brows furrowed even deeper.
Li Zong lowered his voice: "Do you still need me to tell you clearly what you did?"
"Tell me, I want to hear it." Ruan Bai said.
"You forced me to do this, so I'll tell you." Li Zong told him exactly what Ruan Meimei told him four years ago but he didn't believe it at the time: "In those five years, you had a total of six
A man, four of whom have families! They raised you, provided you with education, taught you languages, and you even had an abortion for them?"
At this minute, this second, Ruan Bai felt that his heart was completely desolate and turned into ruins.
She looked down at the diamond engagement ring on her finger, tears welling up in her eyes.
Less than a week after the engagement, her fiancé questioned her on the phone in a vehement voice.
I'm afraid everyone knows how important a woman's reputation is. Ruan Meimei was accused of a series of accusations based on Ruan Meimei's rumors...
This comes from the distrustful behavior of the fiancé, and the degree of harm is equal to direct betrayal.
Li Zong continued to talk and question, asking who the man in her community was. You can't deny this. An aunt named Du in your community said she saw it with her own eyes!
Ruan Bai pressed the hangup button silently, not wanting to hear a word anymore.
The phone rang again.
Ruan Bai let it ring.
No answer.
I don’t want to cry, and I’m not terribly sad. I’m just tired, very tired.
She hugged her knees and sat on the sofa, burying her head. She was willing to be an ostrich when she was alone, hugging herself to keep herself warm.
Li Zong appeared in front of her five years ago, just like the light under the thick clouds on a cloudy day. It was not real, but it was there, making her think that the sky was really going to clear up.
That light tempted her, tempting her to go out and stand under the dark clouds.
That light promised her, telling her: "If you trust me, stand here waiting for the sun, waiting for the sky to clear, and I will make the sky around you clear."
She looked at the light stupidly, waiting for the sky to clear.
But!
Suddenly the sky became cloudier and the rain fell suddenly!
It seems that she is the only one in the whole world who is unfortunate, stupid, and soaked in the rain, and her whole body is cold from the rain...
…
After curling up on the sofa for a long time, she fell asleep.
I woke up after my stomach hurt unbearably.
From the time he got up in the morning until now, Ruan Bai has not eaten a grain of rice.
After getting dressed, she took her keys and wallet and went out for a quick lunch. After lunch, she didn't want to go home and suddenly wanted to take a walk in this familiar yet unfamiliar city.
If you take a walk, you may feel better and be more open-minded.
As soon as he swiped his card and entered the subway passage, Ruan Bai's hand was suddenly held by someone from behind.
Ruan Bai turned around.
"Sister, it's really you!" Ruan Meimei raised a generous smile and stared at Ruan Bai.
“I hate that I didn’t believe Ruan Meimei’s words when I was abroad!”
Li Zong's words popped up ferociously in Ruan Bai's mind.
Ruan Meimei had slandered herself in front of Li Zong and placed unwarranted charges on her head. She did not question the fact that Ruan Meimei had done such a dirty thing.
Ruan Bai took out his hand: "Let go, I think your hands are dirty!"
"Am I dirty?" Ruan Meimei raised the corner of her mouth without being angry, and continued to keep up with Ruan Bai who was walking quickly in front of her. The subway door opened, and Ruan Meimei followed her and squeezed in.
The subway door is closed.
Ruan Meimei stood up and said to Ruan Bai: "Mom asked me to ask you to go home and have a meal together."
Ruan Bai pretended not to hear.
"Auntie, your shoe stepped on my foot!" Ruan Meimei suddenly lowered her head and said to an aunt on the seat.
The person sitting on the seat was none other than Aunt Du, who got on the bus at this stop and grabbed the seat.
When Aunt Du heard that Ruan Meimei and Ruan Bai were the same mother, she withdrew her feet and asked Ruan Meimei: "How old is your child?"
"Twenty-six." Ruan Meimei actually didn't want to talk to such a small-town aunt.
But since the subway was full of people, I had to answer.
The aunt curled her lips and smiled, pretending to be envious and said: "You look so young. You are only thirty-seven or eighteen years old, and your child is already twenty-six?"
"You——" Ruan Meimei's face suddenly darkened.
People around him couldn't help laughing.
Ruan Meimei's face turned the color of pig liver! It was hard for her to argue with an aunt in her fifties in such a crowded place! She was so angry that she suffered internal injuries!
