"After the last quarrel, I have worked hard to change myself. He often doesn't go home recently. I always thought he was working overtime and he was very hard. But who knows, he really has someone outside..."
"Haidong, I beg you, can you...can you help me once. Even if you just...talk to me..."
After hearing what Bai Yourong said, Zhang Haidong's mind was already in a mess.
He responded quickly: "Okay. I just sent my daughter to kindergarten. Please wait for me for a while, and I will take the car to your house in a while."
"good……"
After hearing Zhang Haidong's affirmative answer, Bai Yourong hung up the phone with confidence.
Zhang Haidong immediately called Liu Shan.
"Brother Dong..."
"Don't call me Brother Dong! Just call me Zhang Haidong. We are not that close! I don't deserve it!"
Zhang Haidong said coldly.
"Uh...Bai Yourong called you?"
Liu Shan was stunned for a moment and seemed to react.
"Nonsense! What did you tell me? You told me that you would find a suitable time and then go have a good talk with Bai Yourong.
At least she has been with you for ten years, ten years! How many decades are there in a person's life?
Don't make it look so ugly!
It's better for you. Yesterday, you promised and agreed, but this morning you immediately issued an ultimatum for divorce, leaving no room for negotiation!
Is she so worthless in your eyes?
You are really my good friend and brother!"
Zhang Haidong's anger almost broke through his mind, and he gritted his teeth and said.
"..."
Liu Shan was speechless.
He was silent for a while and then continued.
"After you and Yingying talked yesterday, I persuaded Yingying, and then we had a serious heart-to-heart talk. She didn't blame me for anything, she just told me to deal with it by myself. I felt very guilty and felt
I felt so sorry for her hanging like this. Then I decided to separate as soon as possible. Since I don’t love you anymore, it’s better to let go as soon as possible. I don’t want to keep dragging them down as a mother and son..."
"Is this a drag?"
Hearing Liu Shan's excuse, Zhang Haidong roared with anger at the top of his lungs, regardless of the strange sunshine from others at the bus stop.
"Tell me, is this a fucking drag? She has been with you for ten years! Is it so difficult to be decent when breaking up? Do you have the final say in everything? Are you the Jade Emperor?
?You are really nothing!"
Zhang Haidong was so angry that the veins on his neck bulged.
Full of anger, he gritted his teeth and hung up the phone.
He, who had already taken all the responsibility on himself, couldn't help but become angry again.
Bai Yourong was discarded like a piece of trash.
No right to speak!
No decision-making power!
Can only be notified!
What’s ridiculous is that Liu Shan doesn’t even have the most basic sense of guilt!
Every time I talk about this, I always speak so plausibly!
Is this still the Liu Shan I knew before?
Why is he so cold-blooded!
Is he just that impatient?
separate……
Is it so difficult to treat each other decently?
Zhang Haidong felt that his blood was surging, almost bursting through his chest.
He took out a cigarette and tried to light it, but his hands were shaking so much that the lighter almost burned his hair.
After finally lighting it up, he took a few puffs like a hungry tiger pouncing on food.
The violent energy and blood were finally suppressed.
Doesn't Liu Shan know how much harm this operation to please Huang Wenying will bring to Bai Yourong?
Farke!
He swore heavily in English.
After looking at the slowly approaching bus, Zhang Haidong puffed out a puff of cigarette smoke. What a stupid bus to take!
I still had the last two hundred dollars on me, so I decided to take a taxi.
He stretched out his hand to hail a taxi and got in directly.
"What's that, Master? I'm feeling very uncomfortable right now. Can you let me open the window and smoke a cigarette? Otherwise, I'm afraid I'll cry."
Zhang Haidong said incoherently in the back row.
The driver was stunned for a moment.
But after looking at Zhang Haidong's uncomfortable expression in the rearview mirror, he immediately said: "As long as you are willing. It's very cold in this winter. Just sit down."
After saying that, he kicked the accelerator and ran forward.
…
Soon, the taxi arrived at the gate of Liu Shan's community.
After Zhang Haidong registered, he followed his memory and walked in.
Walking to the door, he pressed the doorbell gently.
The door opened.
A wave of heat hit my face.
Bai Yourong stood at the door in her pajamas with disheveled hair. It could be seen that she had no intention of dressing up or washing up.
Both eyes were red and swollen from crying, like ripe peaches. The huge dark circles under her eyes were like pandas, which at least proved that she was trying her best to look after her children. Otherwise, she would not be like this.
Zhang Haidong suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.
Bai Yourong is very pitiful.
When Bai Yourong saw Zhang Haidong, tears suddenly fell down again.
"Haidong...I'm about to collapse..."
Listening to those cries and looking at Bai Yourong's helpless eyes, Zhang Haidong felt as if a big stone was stuck in his chest, making him unable to breathe.
There was nothing he could do to help Bai Yourong.
Bai Yourong, the lively, cute and beautiful girl who loved to talk to Liu Shan by the ear every day, has been polished away by the years and all traces have disappeared.
Instead, there was a crying, helpless wife.
The innocence and innocence I had at the beginning have long since been consumed by these harsh years without a trace.
Zhang Haidong sighed, he didn't know what to do.
He could only helplessly pick up the tissue on the table and hand it to Bai Yourong: "Don't be too sad, wipe your tears first. Time will change everyone, we are all the same, no one can escape it. Sit down and relax
Just give it a minute, crying too much is bad for your liver. By the way, how is the child?"
Bai Yourong wiped her tears and said, "The child is in the back room. He just drank milk and has fallen asleep."
Zhang Haidong sat on the sofa.
Bai Yourong was still sobbing. He wanted to organize his words to comfort Bai Yourong.
But when he went over the matter again, he found that he was still powerless.
He can't be of any help.
I could only let out a long sigh.
Bai Yourong also sat down. She looked at Zhang Haidong with tears in her eyes and said, "Have you called him? He really doesn't want to live anymore, right?"
A very simple, straightforward and meaningless question.
Zhang Haidong lowered his head.
In fact, Bai Yourong knew the answer in his heart.
I asked this question just to get the last bit of hope in that illusory and desperate situation.
Like a thin figure, floating alone in the stormy floods, knowing clearly that he will be swept away by the violent storms and monstrous floods, but still clinging to the straw of despair, trying to fight for it
The last chance of survival.
Straw cannot save people in desperate situations...
Therefore, this situation is absolutely impossible to happen.
Because Liu Shan, who vowed to stay together for the rest of their lives, no longer tolerated Bai Yourong, but regarded Bai Yourong's constrained happiness as a shackle to his own destiny.
He wanted to break free of this shackles desperately.
Zhang Haidong couldn't bear to hurt Bai Yourong, so he could only choose the most cowardly answer.
"sorry……"
He lowered his head feebly.
Like a child who has done something wrong.
As if he was afraid that Bai Yourong would be sad, he raised his head again and continued: "Actually, he must have you in his heart. It's just that time has changed too many things."
As soon as he said this, he knew he was wrong.
Bai Yourong looked at the hypocritical Zhang Haidong, with countless complex emotions in his eyes.
That is the indifference that no longer begs for mercy in despair...
That is the resentment of being abandoned after giving everything...
That's after getting the answer...
With countless emotions mixed together, Bai Yourong finally stopped crying.
She didn't seem to care that much anymore and seemed to see it clearly.
Looking at Zhang Haidong, Bai Yourong wiped his tears with his sleeves and then laughed.
"People are so ridiculous. Back then, he pursued me like crazy and traveled thousands of miles to see me.
He vowed to me that no matter what happened, he would spend his life with me hand in hand.
As you know, my father is a teacher and my mother comes from a scholarly family. Both of them think Liu Shan is unreliable.
Because Liu Shan is too cunning.
When I was young, before I could see the future, I would easily make endless promises to someone. My parents told me that it would be impossible for such a person to accompany me until the end.
I do not believe.
I was moved by him.
Because on my birthday, he fell off a cliff while riding his bicycle. He didn't cry. Instead, he lifted the bicycle hard, ran to my house with his arms covered in blood, and then gave me a birthday gift!
When I spent Valentine's Day and Christmas in a different place, he took time off and traveled all the way on a green train to spend the holidays with me.
do you know?
This is what love looks like!
So I resisted the pressure from my family and wanted to marry him after graduating from a first-class university in a big city.
Even if she doesn't work and is a full-time wife, she still has to marry him!
Because of this matter, I even fell out with my parents! My father and my brother are still unwilling to talk to me! Not even a city is willing to take another look at me!
My mother is the only one who cares about me. She will come to see me quietly, give me some money and take care of my children.
Because of him, I borrowed money from my best friend and lived alone in a small hotel that cost 15 yuan a day, just waiting for him to marry me!
Haidong, you haven’t forgotten it, have you?
When we got married back then, you were the team to pick up the bride!"
Zhang Haidong buried his head deeper.
He was just reborn, and he didn't remember the situation at all.
If Bai Yourong didn't tell him, it would be impossible for him to know.
Now he buried his head, just not wanting Bai Yourong to see his surprise.
He felt that Bai Yourong was a pitiful woman.
At least he didn't treat Liu Shan badly in terms of feelings and work.
