I stood next to her, beside the piano, and I found that I was no longer depressed in my heart. The notes she played pulled my depression out of my body, and drifted out of the window along with those notes.
"Yuanyuan, you play so well." I murmured.
"Really?" She turned to look at me, "I will forget myself as soon as my fingers touch the piano."
I shook my head, "You have a pure heart, that's why the sound of the piano is so beautiful."
"Brother..." She became embarrassed.
Suddenly I heard my cell phone ringing, and I hurriedly answered it, "Dr. Feng, you really can do it."
The call was from Tong Yao. Her tone was strange, and I was confused. "Officer Tong, what do you mean?"
"Didn't you divorce your wife? Didn't you once tell me that you would never divorce her?" she asked, and I felt that she must be sneering on the other end of the phone.
"Officer Tong, this is my private matter. Please don't interfere, okay?" I suddenly felt unhappy. I never thought that I would meet two women who interfered with my marriage in one day.
"Of course I won't interfere in your marriage, and I don't have the power. But Feng Xiao, do you know? Your wife, Zhao Menglei, has been very abnormal in the detention center in the past two days. Do you know that? You are here now.
If you propose to divorce her under such circumstances, wouldn't this push her towards a dead end? Feng Xiao, I never thought you would do such a thing!" she shouted on the other end of the phone.
I was shocked, "Officer Tong, tell me why she is acting abnormally?"
"Since you have divorced her, why do you still care about her so much?" She had already sneered. I ignored her attitude and asked hurriedly: "Officer Tong, please tell me, tell me why she is abnormal.
Okay? Please.”
"I'll wait for you in the teahouse outside your hospital. It's up to you whether you come or not. I'll only wait for you for half an hour at most." She said, and then hung up the phone.
Chen Yuan had already stopped playing the piano, and she was watching me answer the phone. "Brother, what happened?"
"Yuanyuan, I have to go out right away. I'm sorry, I can't stay with you today." I said as I ran outside.
As soon as I came downstairs, I ran into Lin Yi and Shi Yanni, "Huh? Where are you going?" Lin Yi asked me in surprise.
"I have something urgent." I said and had to stop.
"Have you applied for a marriage certificate today?" Shi Yanni asked.
"It's done." I replied, "I'm really in a hurry."
"Why are you so anxious? Today is your and Xiaonan's wedding day. What happened?" Lin Yi asked in surprise.
"Officer Tong called me just now. She told me that Zhao Menglei has been in a bad mood for the past two days. She is waiting for me at the teahouse outside our hospital." I had no choice but to tell the truth.
"These police are really nosy." Shi Yanni said dissatisfiedly.
"Don't say that." Lin Yi stopped his wife and said, "Then go quickly and come back early. We are going to celebrate your marriage to Xiaonan tonight. I also invited some friends." After he finished speaking,
He pulled me to one side and whispered to me: "Be careful when speaking in front of the police, otherwise there will be many troubles later."
"I know. But how can I still be in the mood to celebrate under such circumstances!" I suddenly became dissatisfied and turned around to leave.
"Feng Xiao!" Lin Yi stopped me, "Director Lin is coming too. You must come back early."
I was startled and hurriedly ran outside.
"Don't run in such a hurry, let my driver take you off." Lin Yi shouted loudly behind me.
I ignored him and ran out of the community, and happened to meet a taxi. After getting in the taxi, I handed the taxi driver two hundred yuan and said, "Hurry up, no matter what you think of, we'll be there in twenty minutes."
"
"I'm about to leave. You're quite punctual. Don't you live near here?" Tong Yao looked at me and asked, expressionless.
"I'm sorry, I, I rushed here from somewhere else." I said hurriedly. Feeling my mouth was dry, I turned around and asked the waiter to make me tea.
"Dr. Feng, you are right. I shouldn't be meddling in your personal affairs. But your wife needs you the most now, but I didn't expect you to do such a thing. I am very puzzled, and at the same time I feel
You are going too far. To be honest, although I have not met you many times, I have always thought that you are a good person, and I regard you as a friend in my heart. Therefore, I am here to tell you this as a friend today.
Feng Xiao, I hope you can give me an explanation." She said immediately.
"It wasn't me who filed for divorce, it was her. That night, before she was about to surrender, she mentioned this matter in the letter she left for me. As you know, she also filed the divorce application herself this time.
She wrote it herself and then forwarded it to me through her lawyer. I just signed it." I said. I felt very ashamed, so I felt very uneasy when answering her question.
"You know, it's not right for a lawyer to bring out something like that at this time. I don't know who in the detention center agreed with him to bring out the divorce application. Forget it, we won't talk about it anymore.
The matter is also very complicated. However, have you ever thought about it. Even so, you should not sign. Think about it, what kind of situation is she in now? This is the lowest and most helpless time in her life.
Right? Even if you want to agree to divorce her, it should be after the court's decision. I really don't understand what you think." She said, shaking her head.
I felt very sad, but I couldn't say anything more to her, "Officer Tong, thank you. What I want to know now is how she has been in a bad mood in the past two days. Can you tell me?"
"You've already done that, what's the use of asking?" She sighed.
"I really want to know her current situation, could you please tell me?" I asked again, feeling extremely uncomfortable.
"Hey! I also heard what my colleagues at the detention center said. They told me that she had eaten very little in the past two days, almost stopped talking, and kept turning over at night, maybe because she couldn't sleep. She lost a lot of weight all of a sudden.
"She shook her head and sighed.
My heart suddenly felt painful, "Officer Tong, when can I see her?"
"Tomorrow, if you want to see her, I will pick you up tomorrow." She said.
My tears fell quietly, "Thank you, thank you."
She stood up, patted my shoulder lightly a few times and left with a sigh. I have been sitting here blankly, as if I no longer belong to this world.
I don’t know how long I have been sitting here. In fact, my mind is completely blank, and my whole person has been in a sluggish state. I just sat like this, and kept sitting. Until the sound from my mobile phone woke me up, "
Doctor Feng, I am Mr. Lin’s driver. I will wait for you below the teahouse."
I looked at the time and found that it was already past five in the afternoon. I quickly stood up and asked the waiter to pay the bill.
Now I really feel a lot of helplessness in life. For example, now, when I am extremely depressed, I have to put on a smile to attend the wedding dinner hosted by Mr. and Mrs. Lin Yi for me and Chen Yuan.
The driver took me directly back to the place where Chen Yuan lives now, my and her new home. I asked the driver why he didn't go directly to the hotel, and he told me that it was Mr. Lin who gave the order. I was speechless.
——Since he has arranged everything, I will listen to him. Now, I feel like I have become a puppet, listening to the mercy of Lin Yi and his wife.
After going upstairs, I found that Lin Yi and Shi Yanni were still there. But Chen Yuan had been dressed up very beautifully: she was wearing a long white dress, and her fair skin and white gauze skirt made her even more beautiful than usual. "You're cold.
Isn't it cold? This is winter." I asked her.
"There are air conditioners at home and in the hotel. It won't be cold. Feng Xiao, you should change clothes immediately. I have ordered them for you and they just delivered them. Don't blame me for not discussing with you. You worked night shift last night.
Xiaonan and I went to apply for a marriage certificate today, and I don’t want to disturb you." Lin Yi explained to me with a smile.
"Isn't it just a meal? Why make it so formal? It's like a wedding. Mr. Lin, I don't want this." I said.
"Of course it's not a wedding. It's just inviting close friends to have a meal. How can a wedding be held at night? We are in the south, and weddings in the south must be held at noon, right?" He said with a smile, "But today, after all,
It's your and Xiaonan's wedding day, so you have to be more particular about your clothes."
I looked at Chen Yuan and felt that the long skirt she was wearing was similar to a wedding dress. I felt strange in my heart, "No, Chen Yuan cannot wear such clothes. She is pregnant and if she catches a cold, it may cause deformities in the child."
Just wear normal clothes." I said.
"Feng Xiao..." Shi Yanni said to me, but she was interrupted by Lin Yi as soon as she spoke, "Just listen to him, the weather is really too cold. So, didn't you just buy her a set?"
Clothes?"
"Just be more casual. Chen Yuan wears a more festive sweater, and I will wear the clothes you prepared for me. This way you will also have face. Anyway, I am like a son-in-law who stepped in." I said.
Lin Yi suddenly laughed, "Feng Xiao, you really know how to joke. Okay, I'll do as you say. Go change clothes quickly, it's getting late."
I immediately went to the bathroom to wash my face and shave, then I went into the bedroom and changed into a suit. I combed my hair before I came out. When I went in, I saw the suit Lin Yi had prepared for me.
It's a white suit. From my first glance, it looks like a wedding suit, and the fabric is of good quality. However, it looks very odd to me.
Chen Yuan quickly changed her clothes. Her upper body was a red shirt and a white fur coat. The fur coat was very fashionable. Her lower body was a pair of white trousers, and then the ones she wore during the day.
A pair of red leather shoes. She looks so beautiful. I have to admire Lin Yi and Shi Yanni for being well prepared - it seems they have considered several plans. (To be continued)
