Paper rose

Chapter 42 You are a special blank (1)
"Bai Yan, listen to my explanation." Feeling that his brain was short-circuited, Kang Jian instinctively stepped up the stairs in two steps at a time, and put his arms around Bai Yan's shoulders, "It's not all like this."

Bai Yan's eyes were calm and unwavering. She tried her best to open her eyes wide, overcoming bouts of dizziness, "My mother ruined your parents' relationship 24 years ago, right?"

Kang Jian's face was as white as paper, he couldn't deny it, he could only keep silent.

"Did you marry me just to make your mother feel better?"

"Bai Yan..." He called her name again and again, his heart felt like it was in an ice cellar.

"Leader, you did nothing wrong. It is your filial piety to make your mother happy. It is the price I have to pay to pay back the mother's debts. Everything is justified and understandable." Bai Yan slowly pushed his hand away and turned around. Go to the bedroom.

Li Xinxia and Aunt Wu were stunned, not believing that Bai Yan, who was always eloquent, would not fight back at all after learning the whole truth.

Three seconds later, Bai Yan came out with her bag.

Kang Jian tried to approach him, but she waved her hand to signal him not to come, "I should go to the night shift... Cough..." Her throat was itchy, and she couldn't help coughing.

She walked downstairs quickly, almost top-heavy, towards the door.Kang Jian was stunned, and chased after her, trying to grab her, but she threw her away.

"Bai Yan..." Damn it, she was still wearing slippers.

Bai Yan didn't know where she got her strength, she walked very fast, like a gust of wind, when Kang Jian chased her down the stairs, she ran out of the community at an unprecedented speed and stopped a taxi.

The setting sun falling in the west cast mottled light and shadows in the shade of the trees. Standing in the light and shadows, Kang Jian finally knew what it was like to feel remorse.

"Go to Yun County... Cough..." Bai Yan asked the driver to turn off the air conditioner and open the window, holding his hot forehead, hoping that the cool evening breeze would make his body more comfortable.

"Miss, do you have a cold?" The driver was a thin, middle-aged man with a naive smile.

"I'm fine." To go to Yun County, at least two hours away, Bai Yan closed his eyes, wanting to sleep for a while.

But as soon as he closed his eyes, the past events about Leader Kang came up bit by bit.

The first time we met was during the vaccination, he sat on the side coldly, staring at her intently, and then asked Jian Jian to strike up a conversation with her and leave his mobile phone number.At that time, was he already planning to take revenge on her?
Secretary Xiao Wu's illness, a simple thank-you banquet, she said why he was there!It was raining heavily, and Jian Jian and Xiao Wu left the banquet suddenly, leaving him and her behind. Thinking about it now, this was also his careful arrangement.

In the future, the two are not yet familiar with each other, so he eagerly confessed his love to her and asked her to be his girlfriend.

Such a big net, so many accomplices, and so many sincere and touching words to her, where can she escape?
She refused many times, but he persistently came to her again and again.Thinking about it now, what he is obsessed with is not his love for her, but revenge for her.

When he was not married, he eagerly took her to Jiangxin Island to see the luxurious life of the upper class. Was he watching her coldly at that time, would he be flattered to see her?

Lu Difei's words, Yi Meimei's words, what happened after marriage, and what I heard today are no longer strange.

The only pity is his marriage to her, sacrificing Yi Meimei, has he ever regretted it?
I don't have the strength to evaluate what Leader Kang has done, and I live one by one.Fortunately, she saw him through and didn't fall in love with him as he expected and covet the luxury he gave her, so her heart didn't hurt so much.She's just a little cold.

Because of the cold, Bai Yan had to hug his shoulders and curl up in the chair.

The cell phone in the bag rang again and again, until it ran out of battery, and calmed down quietly.

The twilight gradually spread around, and outside the car window, the sky and the earth melted into a mass of darkness.

The two bright lights in front of the taxi galloped forward in the darkness, and Yunxian slowly approached.

The taxi entered the county seat, and Bai Yan asked the driver to stop across the road from the Cultural Compound.

She didn't get out of the car.

The old-fashioned iron fence gate only opened a side door to leave. On one side of the cement wall, there are wooden plaques with black letters on a white background, which read Yunxian Literary and Art Circle, Yunxian Group Art Museum, Yunxian Song and Dance Troupe, The Yue Opera Troupe of Yun County... After years of wind and rain, the white background of these plaques was cracked, exposing the wood inside.

A blue BMW parked outside the side gate picked up several young women who looked like actors who came out of the compound.Several middle-aged women who used to be beauties had fat waists, pulled slippers like slobs, pointed and pointed at the passing car, and one of them was Shang Mingxing's mother.

Bai Yan closed his eyes, and could clearly see the scene inside the compound.Rows of bungalows with small courtyards, paths with weeds sprouting, the bungalows in the rehearsal field have rotten roofs, bricks and tiles missing half of the door.

Before she went to the nursing college to study, like everyone living there, she went in and out through the side door many times a day, carrying her schoolbag and vegetables.

"Let's go!" Bai Mumei didn't bother to step into this kind of place.She bought herself a one-bedroom apartment in the best location in Yun County.

At this moment, the night is like iron, cold and hard, like a piece of armor covering the body.

The car stopped, and Bai Yan first gave the driver two hundred yuan, "I'll only stay on it for half an hour, and then we'll go back to Binjiang."

The driver was taken aback for a moment, feeling strange, but didn't ask any further questions.If there is business to do, it doesn't matter whether the guests are weird or not!

After Bai Mumei moved here, Bai Yan only came here once.Arriving at Yuncheng at noon, she came in for a tour, and then Bai Mumei took her out for dinner, and she returned to Binjiang after eating.

Bai Yan remembered that the window of the apartment was very big, and there was a western-style wine cabinet next to the window. There were more than a dozen bottles of wine in the cabinet, tall, short, fat, and thin.On the tea table in front of the wine cabinet, Bai Mumei had three irises in a narrow-necked glass bottle.On the white wall opposite the window, there were two frames of different sizes hanging, all of which were stills of Bai Mumei's performance.

What impressed Bai Yan the most was that Bai Mumei's bed was huge, the curtains and bedspread were all velvet, and the color was mysterious purple. Opposite the bed was a row of mirrors, which could clearly reflect every slight movement on the bed.

Bai Yan swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva, raised her hand and knocked on the door.

"Who is it?" Bai Mumei's voice as soft as silk came from inside.

The door opened in response to the sound, and the lights in the room were dimmed. Bai Mumei's tulle-like pajamas were like cicada's wings, making the carcass inside faintly visible.

"Yanyan, why are you here?" Bai Mumei saw that it was Baiyan by the light in the corridor, and tied her pajamas tightly.

"Is it convenient for me to go in?" Bai Yan asked.

Bai Mumei was stunned for a moment, "Wait!" She closed the door, and her soft laughter and low voice came from the bedroom.

After a while, a tall man came out.Bai Yan lowered his eyes and stepped aside.

"Come in!" Bai Mumei turned around, "Have you eaten yet?"

This is just an occasional question. Bai Mumei's place is coffee, except for wine, and she never messes with oily smoke.

"Ah!" Bai Yan sneezed due to the strong aroma in the room.

"You have a cold?" Bai Mumei frowned, poured a glass of water for Bai Yan, and leaned gracefully in front of the wine cabinet.

"Maybe!" Bai Yan raised his head, Bai Mumei's face looked extraordinarily delicate under the light of the bar lamp, like the petals of a perfume lily.

"Sorry to bother you so late. I have something to ask you."

Bai Mumei got herself a glass, poured half of it, and said nothing.

"Before Kang Jian and I got married, why didn't you tell me that you and Kang Yunlin had slept together, and that you had caused his wife to commit suicide by jumping off a building?"

"I have reminded you," Bai Mumei said calmly, as if talking about other people's affairs, "I said you are not worthy of Kang Jian, and your marriage will not last longer than six months."

"Did you mean that?" Bai Yan trembled, "I have grown up so much, no matter what I do, you have never fully approved of it. You are either sneering or sarcastic. You understand my personality, the more you object, The more I want to do well. Actually, you deliberately provoked me to marry...Kang Jian?"

Bai Mumei slowly drank the wine in the glass, opened her pajamas, exposed her white thighs, and sat on the bar, "Your analysis is good, I want you to marry Kang Jian."

"Why... what?" Bai Yan couldn't stand upright, she had to hold on to a corner of the cabinet.

"What do you think?" Bai Mumei tried to keep calm, but her face suddenly changed, "Because I hate that paralyzed woman. Since she jumped off the building, why didn't she die cleanly and live in this world in a disgrace? If it wasn't for her , the current Secretary Kang’s wife is me, that’s me! At that time, Kang Yunlin had promised to marry me, and I was waiting for him in Yun County, and he went back to get a divorce. As a result, I waited for two months, and when he called, He said that we would never see each other again. His wife jumped off a building and became disabled. If his wife lived well or died cleanly, we all have hope, but she was paralyzed. She did it on purpose and Only in this way can I be completely separated from Kang Yunlin. Since then, Kang Yunlin has kicked me away. How can I swallow this bad breath. After 24 years, his son came to my door, of course I Don't let that woman go. I just want to be a mother to her. I want my daughter Bai Mumei to dangle in front of her all day. I want her to think of what happened 24 years ago day and night. It hurts, it hurts, and it will never happen. peaceful."

Bai Yan wanted to laugh, she never thought that she would be of such great use in this world, that she would be the target of Kang Jian's revenge, and that she would be a thorn in Bai Mumei's hand, deeply inserted into Li Xinxia's weakness.

"I really didn't expect you to ever think about getting married. In fact, it's great that you are like this. What kind of man do you want?"

Bai Mumei jumped off the bar chair and slapped Bai Yan.

"I am your mother."

"Yes, you are my mother. What can be cut is the umbilical cord, and what can't be cut is the blood source." Tears flowed from her eyes, but she kept smiling.

"You ran back from Binjiang for this?"

"Can't I come back and visit my beautiful mother? Oh, there's one more thing to tell you. I might disappoint you. I'm going to divorce Kang Yunlin's son."

Bai Mumei was taken aback.

Bai Yan staggered towards the door, holding the doorknob, she felt that she should say something more, after thinking for a long time, she turned around, "Mom, I'm not your burden now, and I'm of no use to you, blood source Might be able to cut it!"

She stumbled downstairs, the stairs were pitch black, her whole body was pitch black, and the slippers were clattering on the steps.

"Not more than half an hour?" She asked the driver standing by the car.

The driver just ran out to buy a bottle of water and a piece of bread, and was chewing hard.With a piece in his mouth, he opened the car door for Bai Yan, and was startled when he saw Bai Yan's pale face.

"Miss, why don't we go to the hospital first?" Anyway, there was no other business to be received this night, so the driver simply took it easy.

"Let's go to Binjiang First Hospital now." Bai Yan's lips, fingertips, and whole body were trembling.

The driver swallowed the bread, got in the car, started the engine, and the car drove off into the night.In order not to fall asleep, he turned on the radio and listened to music.

Bai Yan closed her eyes in a daze to the sound of the music. In the darkness, she saw herself sitting alone on the threshold, with lightning and thunder outside. She was so frightened that she cried, but no one came and went from the door. People look at her.

"Xiaoyan." A figure suddenly stood in front of him.

She raised her head, looked at the magnified handsome smiling face, flattened her mouth, "Tomorrow, I'm afraid..."

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. Close your eyes and everything will be fine tomorrow."

"Really? Tomorrow!"

The handsome boy nodded to her.

Bai Yan smiled, and held the young man's warm and slender fingers.

"Miss, here we are!"

Whose voice is this?Why is it so dark outside?This is where?What about tomorrow?Bai Yan looked around in fear, "Tomorrow...tomorrow..."

She wanted to cry out, but no sound came out.She waved her arms anxiously, tripped over something, and fell forward with a "boom", completely falling into the boundless darkness.

There are many residents in the cultural compound in Yun County, and Bai Mumei is the most eye-catching one among them.She is not only charming, but also good at acting.On the way back from the troupe to the compound, many children followed behind to watch.Whenever there is any event in Yuncheng, they are proud to invite Bai Mumei to attend.She didn't spend much time in Yun County, and performed in various cities and counties with the troupe all the year round, and sometimes went to the provincial capital.

Shang Mingming's father was in charge of the Yue Opera troupe's equipment and chores, and his mother used to farm in his hometown, but was taken to the county town by Shang's father after she became pregnant.She couldn't stay idle, and sold cigarette seeds in the cinema to earn some money to supplement her family.After giving birth to two children in one birth, she took some work from the carton factory, and when movies were not showing, she glued cartons.

The family of four lives in a small courtyard with two bedrooms and one kitchen.One room is the bedroom, the other is the living room and dining room.After Shang Mingming and Shang Mingxing grew up, they drew a curtain in the bedroom and the living room, and bought two small beds.As a result, the home is even more crowded.Shang's mother was lying on the window sill, looking at Bai Mumei's house in the back row, scolding Shang's father for being useless, the family of two lived in two rooms and one kitchen, and my family of four also lived in two rooms and one kitchen.

Father Shang held a cigarette in his mouth and kept silent, thinking to himself, can our family compare with hers?

Of course, Shang Ma had heard a lot about Bai Mumei's flirtatious anecdotes. She had also seen different men come to pick up Bai Mumei with her own eyes.The woman from the farmer's family has a straight temper, she can't tolerate the pain in her eyes, and she can't swallow this breath.The merchant's kitchen was facing the small courtyard of Bai Mumei's house. When she was cooking, she intentionally or unintentionally cursed at the long and the short.

Bai Mumei usually doesn't bother to pay attention to her, but this day, somehow she regained her energy, she winked, and stood in front of the window of the shop, "Huanglian Po, are you mad with jealousy in your heart? Actually, this bone spirit is not someone If you want to do it, you can do it. Like you, even if you take the initiative to take off your clothes, men won't glance at it. So, you should say a few words, and don't be self-defeating."

"You shameless coquettish fox, do you think everyone sells themselves for glory like you? Pooh, why should I want other men to be interested? I have my own man as a baby, what about you?"

Bai Mumei laughed so hard that her brows and eyes bloomed, "Don't tell me that your man is only vegetarian. It's just that I don't like him, otherwise..." She laughed so hard that she couldn't continue.

Shang Ma jumped up all of a sudden, crossed her hips, "Otherwise, what could happen?"

"Ask your man." Bai Mumei turned around and entered the room like a willow in the wind.

Shang Ming's house exploded in an instant, no matter how Shang's father swears and swears, Shang's mother yelled for a whole night, shaking the sky over Yunxian County.

From then on, Shang Ma officially formed a relationship with Bai Mumei.

Bai Yan was still young at that time and didn't understand the affairs of adults.Seeing the merchant's two children having fun in the small yard outside, they ran over erratically, before reaching the door, Shang Mingxing came up and pushed her to the ground, "Go away, little bone spirit, don't dirty my place .”

"Xingxing, what are you doing?" Shang Ming came to help her up, and blamed his younger sister.

"Brother, mom has said that this Bai family has nothing good, so we won't let us play with her." As he said, Shang Mingxing pushed the white geese who had just stood up out the door.

Bai Yan turned her head with tears in her eyes, and Shang smiled at her tomorrow.

The next time, when Bai Yan passed by the small yard of the merchant, Shang's mother poured out a basin of dirty water, which wet Bai Yan's little flower shoes.

Not only Shang Mingxing, but none of the children, big and small, in the cultural compound were willing to play with Bai Yan.Seeing Bai Yan, they would either throw stones or spit, and some older boys would even say obscene words to Bai Yan.Some even pushed Bai Yan to the ground when Bai Yan was not paying attention, and rode on Bai Yan, "Little bastard, did your mother get 'fucked' just like this?"

A group of half-sized people booed around, shouting, come and see, the little broken shoe has been "dried".

Bai Yan's face was flushed, and with the strength he didn't know where, he pushed the little boy on his back with a "bang", grabbed a ball of mud and threw it over, imitating their words and hitting back at them.The little boys became furious and rushed forward, punching and kicking Bai Yan.
