Chapter 446 It was you eight years ago, it has always been you
After Ning Meng said this, Huo Beichen's voice became tense: "Where are you?"
Ning Meng stepped on the accelerator again and said slowly: "I'm going to find the murderer."
After saying this, she hung up the phone directly.
Huo Beichen called again, but Ning Meng didn't answer. Her sports car got on the highway. After driving for half an hour, she got off the highway at the North Fifth Ring Road.
Finally, her car parked outside the manor with beautiful scenery and an area of thousands of square meters.
This is Huo's Manor, Huo Beichen's home.
She knocked on the big iron door, and a servant suddenly opened the door and asked, "Who is it?"
Ning Meng looked at him straightly, feeling that the current scene was ridiculous and sad: "I am Mrs. Huo, let me in."
This is the real Huo family.
As Mrs. Huo, this was her first time in this place, so even the servants of the Huo family didn't recognize her.
The servant was surprised and said hurriedly: "Please wait a moment."
After a while, the housekeeper hurried over and was stunned when he saw her: "Madam, why are you here?"
Ning Meng asked back: "I can't come?"
"Yes, absolutely yes!" the housekeeper said hurriedly: "Open the door!"
The big iron door opened, Ning Meng got in the car and drove directly in.
It was a huge manor with long paved gravel roads. It took her five minutes to drive to her residence.
Dozens of servants were walking back and forth inside. They looked over curiously after seeing the car. None of them seemed to recognize her.
Ning Meng got out of the car and found it funny.
She had never been to this place, her and Huo Beichen's real home.
She looked at everything unfamiliar around her and stepped upstairs.
After entering the living room, she asked: "Where is the old lady?"
The servants were not surprised when they heard the name "Old Madam". They wrote to the back garden: "Baking in the sun in the back garden."
Ning Meng strode over and went out through the back door, and immediately saw a middle-aged woman who was obviously not a servant.
Wearing decent clothes, she sat on a bench and closed her eyes leisurely.
The woman looks very elegant, with a bit of classical temperament, and a mole on her chin adds a bit of elegance to her.
Ning Meng stood at the entrance and looked at her.
What rang in her ears was Cao Xuehua's words: "...You have never been to Huojia Manor, right? Then don't you even know that there is an old lady in Huojia Manor?"
"This old lady, she is not Huo Beichen's mother, she is the mother of Huo Beichen's first love girlfriend!"
"Huo Beichen once said when he married you that there is only one Mrs. Huo in his heart, and that is his first love."
"I don't dare to do something to you, because Mr. Huo won't let me go after he finds me. Therefore, I only dared to tentatively send the news to the old lady in the Huo family manor."
"You say it's funny or not, but Huo Beichen never forgets his ex. He even took his ex's mother into the real Huo family and became the mistress of that manor, and at the same time married you. What's even more funny is that the old lady never left.
She passed the manor, so outsiders didn't know her very well. When my people came into contact with her, they discovered that she had never known that Huo Beichen had married another man. So, after I told her about your existence, you were killed by a killer.
I've caught him, this can't be a coincidence."
"Huo Beichen has already found out about her through that killer, but has he admitted it to you? The most interesting thing is that he has been trying every means to hide it recently, and he seems to be afraid that you will know about it!"
"Ning Meng, until now, do you still think that Huo Beichen really loves you?!"
"You are just a stand-in!!"
"In his mind, you, this substitute, are not even as good as his predecessor's mother!"
…
Those words penetrated into Ning Meng's ears word by word, making her head hurt and she pressed her temples.
At this moment, a burst of chaotic footsteps came quickly, and soon, a tall figure with an anxious and cold breath stood in front of her.
Huo Beichen's deep voice rang in his ears: "Mengmeng, what's wrong with you?"
Ning Meng slowly raised her head. There were no tears in her eyes, only a calmness that made her heart palpitate.
She pointed at the woman basking in the sun with her eyes closed, and asked slowly: "Who is she?"
Huo Beichen took a step forward and wanted to hug her, but Ning Meng stepped back and kept her distance from him. She shouted: "Stop trying to deceive me! I am not a fool, and I don't want to be a fool either!!"
Huo Beichen paused slightly and froze in place.
There was hesitation on his handsome face at the moment, and there was a hint of sweat on the straight bridge of his nose. It was obvious that he ran all the way here after the car stopped.
His dark eyes stared at Ning Meng. Seeing her in such pain, he was as tangled and confused as a child.
He doesn't want to deceive her.
But he didn't dare to say it, for fear that if he did, she would leave and disappear again.
However, when he was stared at by the girl's scarlet eyes, his heart seemed to be severely grasped, and his eyes were filled with mist like the vast universe.
His mouth opened, as if every word he spoke was a pain.
Seeing him like this, Ning Meng asked: "Is she your ex's mother?"
Huo Beichen was silent, all explanations and words were choked in his throat, and he only said one word: "Yes."
Ning Meng's heart sank and she continued to ask: "Is she trying to kill me?"
Every word Huo Beichen answered was like taking a step on the tip of a knife. When he pulled the sharp blade out of the wound, he was stabbed hard again: "Yes."
Ning Meng's tone was still calm: "You have found out a long time ago, but you didn't want to deal with her, or even wanted to protect her, so you hid it from me. In fact, you have never forgotten your ex?"
Huo Beichen: "......Yes."
Ning Meng was silent, feeling a sourness welling up from her heart to her nose, and her eyes filled with mist: "Is it because of her that you like to eat the tomato and egg noodles I made?"
"……yes."
There was a lump in her throat, and she felt that the truth was so cruel and terrifying. She swallowed the breath and continued to ask: "Did you marry me because of her?"
"yes."
The man's answers became more and more decisive, as if he knew that concealment was useless.
Ning Meng closed her eyes and pushed back the tears that reached her eyes: "It's because of her that you like to hear me say those ridiculous love words."
She was not asking, but used an affirmative sentence. After speaking, she continued without waiting for Huo Beichen to answer:
"You forced me to call you brother because of her."
"You support me in drawing comics because of her."
"Xiao Tiantian recognizes me because of her."
"I would rather call me sister because of her."
"…………"
The more she talked, the more she felt that her life was miserable.
She really felt Huo Beichen's strong feelings, so she didn't pursue his past, but now she discovered that she was still a substitute after all.
She didn't mind the substitute, but when she thought of Ning Ke's misrecognition, and of Xiao Tiantian's misrecognition, she felt a surge of depression in her heart. She even had to wonder, with so many similar things, could she be that ex?
?
But it's impossible.
There was never him or them in her memory!!
She grew up from a baby in an orphanage, and she made sure that she never lost her memory since she was a child!! Let alone a mother appearing out of thin air!
That ex is obviously not her!!
So, is Huo Beichen's love for her his first love or her?
Ning Meng clenched her fists and spoke slowly: "Huo Beichen, have you ever loved me even a little bit?"
In the end, he asked the most humble words in history.
After she finished speaking, she opened her eyes and found Huo Beichen's dark eyes staring at her, with two tears rolling down his cheeks silently.
Ning Meng was stunned.
The next moment, her arm was held tightly by Huo Beichen, and he spoke word by word: "Ning Meng, I don't know how to explain it, let alone why this is happening, but I know it's you, eight years ago.
You, it will be you eight years later, it will always be you, it will always be you!!"
The person he loves has never changed!!
-
"Bang!"
Ning Meng only heard a violent sound, and then a sharp pain hit the back of her head, causing her eyesight to go dark and her ears to become deaf for a moment.
She tried hard to hear what Huo Beichen said, but her vision gradually became darker. When the severe pain passed, she heard a female voice from behind: "Go to hell!"
Without thinking, I knew it must be the "old lady".
Then there was Huo Beichen's low voice: "Meng Meng!!!"
Ning Meng completely fainted.
-
"Mengmeng, Mengmeng, how are you? Wake up!"
Huo Beichen's voice in her ears brought Ning Meng back to her distant consciousness. Her eyelids were heavy. She tried hard to open her eyes, wanted to continue asking Huo Beichen that question, and wanted to know the last words Huo Beichen said.
What exactly is it.
She struggled hard and finally slowly opened a gap in her eyes.
The dazzling sunlight shone through, leaving her in a daze.
She slowly raised her head and found that she was lying on the sofa, holding a novel without a cover in her hand. But in front of her, it was not the Huo Manor, nor Yuxiu Garden, nor the hospital, but a
Old one-bedroom apartment.
The walls began to peel off in patches. In the dark old alley, the light was dim, and the screams of vendors could be heard outside.
After Ning Meng was stunned for a long time, she realized that she had returned to reality!!
Those few months in the book made her feel like she was in another world, but she felt that she felt unreal now.
She sat blankly for a long time, then suddenly stood up and stood in front of the floor-length mirror.
A person appears in the mirror.
She still has the same face, but because she works all year round and travels around, her skin color is a little darker, but the advantage is that she is only 21 years old this year, five years younger than Ning Meng in the book, so her skin is good, and it is better than the face in the book
She looks a bit more immature, and the only thing she can't compare to is her dry figure...
Ning Meng quickly came to her senses. She patted her face, ran to the sofa, and picked up the novel without a cover again.
She pinched herself and felt the pain.
She raised her head in confusion and looked forward in confusion.
So, is it all a dream to wear books and all that?!
How could it be a dream!
She hasn't gotten Huo Beichen's answer yet, even if it's a dream, she has to go in again!!
Ning Meng thought of the first time she wore a book, and looked at the book again. After she opened it, she madly complained about the author: "This plot is simply sick. Has the author's brain been kicked by a donkey?"
Useless.
"The writing is childish and the plot is simple. Are you testing the reader's IQ?"
Still useless.
"It doesn't make sense, it's bullshit, and Su Tiantian is too open-minded, isn't it? This is not Su Shuang's article, this is a mindless article, right?"
Still useless.
"…………"
Ning Meng vomited crazily for a whole hour, and her voice became hoarse, but she still didn't slip into the book again.
She was so angry that she kicked over the comic manuscript next to her.
The comic manuscripts were scattered on the floor. She looked at the unfinished "Riding the Wind", squatted down decadently, and picked up all the comic manuscripts.
After she sorted it out and put it into a bag, she couldn't help but squat on the ground, hugged her knees, and shed tears.
Even though she knew she was a substitute, she didn't want to come back!
She wanted to ask clearly.
She didn't want to go back to this lonely reality without relatives or friends.
When her tears fell down, she dropped the comic book. When she picked up the comic manuscript, she casually placed it on the novel on the ground. When her tears fell on it, a light flashed through it.
Ning Meng was still holding her shoulders and crying, until someone patted her shoulder: "Little girl, why are you crying? Are you going to be late for school?"
Ning Meng:?
She raised her head blankly and found that she was no longer in the old residential building, but squatting on a street.
Directly opposite her, there was a sign reading "Hai Shi No. 1 Middle School".
Haishi No. 1 Middle School...
Ning Meng's eyes lit up, she was back in the book!
She is going to find Huo Beichen!
But as soon as she turned around, she suddenly found that the surrounding buildings seemed different.
She followed Huo Beichen to eat pickled fish, and was taken to this school by Ning Ning, so she knew that there was a parking lot next to the school, but at this moment, the location of the parking lot did not exist at all, and there were only a few vendors selling breakfast there.
.
Several of the original buildings are gone, and even Haishi No. 1 Middle School seems to be darker and smaller than the spacious and bright school in my memory.
It was class time, and a group of high school students carrying schoolbags and wearing loose school uniforms were rushing into the school. There was a dean standing at the school gate, counting the time with his hands on the clock, waiting to catch those who were late.
Ning Meng:??
She suddenly realized something and grabbed the passerby beside her: "Hello, what year is it now?"
The other party was stunned, and then looked at her with a sick look, and answered with a year.
When she heard about this year, Ning Meng was shocked!!!
She returned to the book, but the timeline was wrong. She actually returned to eight years ago in the book!!
Eight years ago...that is, Huo Beichen was still in high school and had just fallen in love for the first time!!!
Ning Meng stood there, completely stunned.
If we go back to eight years ago, then, who is she?!
She walked to the glass of the shop next to her and looked at the figure reflected inside.
With her thin figure, wheat-colored skin, and that denim suit... isn't this what she looks like in reality?
