We said yes, forever

Chapter 7 The Man Sitting in the Darkness (3)
Thinking of this, Ding Dong couldn't sit still anymore, this is not her world, her world is doomed to be dark and without light, she lingers in the dark life, only then can she be illuminated by the sunlight that penetrates through the slits.

These photos are the only sunshine she has.

She stood up suddenly, attracting Zhou Jingxuan's attention. He could read minds and asked with a smile, "Are you leaving?"

The smile on his lips was simply piercing.

Ding Dong trembled in his heart, and lied, "Go to the bathroom."

She passed him by, but was stopped by him behind him, "Wait a minute."

She turned around nervously, thinking that he had discovered something, but saw Zhou Jingxuan raised a glass of red wine to her in a suave manner, "I have a hunch that we will see each other again."

Almost every playboy in TV dramas and movies will say to the girl who has a relationship: I have a hunch that we will see you again.

But life is not a TV series full of coincidences. The city is so big, the probability of them meeting is very small, so it would be strange to see each other again!
Ding Dong sneered in his heart, turned around and left quickly.

She came out in a hurry and saw a few people standing at the other end of the road, all of them were wearing suits and ties. When she looked carefully, the one standing in the middle was actually Qin Wentong. He asked the people around him angrily, "Where's that kid?!"

There must be a subordinate next to him, and he bowed his head and said something to him, Qin Wentong became even more angry, and his eyebrows were knit together.

Someone over there couldn't pass, Ding Dong decided to go in the opposite direction, turned around abruptly, and collided with the woman coming from behind.

The woman was obviously not on the same level as her in terms of body and weight. It was Ding Dong who was wrong, but she was knocked into tears. She rubbed her sore nose and raised her head to apologize, "I'm sorry..."

After the words came out, she was stunned. The woman she bumped into was Jin Marie, Qin Yuan's mother.

"I'm sorry, ma'am."

Ding Dong felt reckless, and apologized again, but he didn't expect that Marie Jin on the opposite side opened her red lips, her expression was horrified as if she had seen a ghost, and she pointed at her tremblingly while covering her plump chest, "You..."

The next second, she rolled her eyes and passed out.

"Ma'am, what's wrong with you? Wake up!"

Ding Dong was dazed by this sudden turn of events, he helped the unconscious Golden Marie to his senses, and a surprised "Madam, what's the matter" behind him woke her up like a basin of cold water.

No, she can't stay here, if she stays, she will just jump into the Yellow River, and the Qin family will find out that she is a paparazzi who sneaked in secretly.

At the moment when he was surrounded by enemies, Ding Dong chose the easiest way to deal with it: run away!
In a panic, she sensibly didn't look back, fearing that the other party would remember her face, and the next second, she stood up and ran away.

"Oh, that lady, oh, that lady!"

"Ma'am, ma'am, wake up!"

"Master, come here quickly! Madam fainted!"

"Mary!"

Ding Dong turned a deaf ear and ran forward like crazy, the noisy wedding sound gradually faded away behind her, only her panting was the only thing she could hear.

She had never run so crazily before, until she felt no threat behind her, she stopped panting heavily, slipped and fell to the ground.

She didn't dare to stay longer, she found the staff area of ​​the hotel where she came in, found a restroom to change her clothes, and left the hotel the same way she came, instead of taking the coastal road, she took a zigzagging road from east to west On the small road back to the city, I returned to the magazine without stopping.

Looking at her exclusive photos, the editor-in-chief who has not given her a good face for many years seems to be a different person. The wrinkled and flattering smile on his face makes people get goosebumps.

"Ding Dong, the editor-in-chief misjudged you before. Don't take what the editor-in-chief said to you. You became famous in the first battle! You are the number one contributor to our magazine's resurrection!"

"Don't worry, the editor-in-chief will definitely reward you well, reward you heavily! Not to mention the reward, the salary will be raised next month! Hahaha!"

"Write the manuscript first, the title must be eye-catching, call the printing factory, and ask them to work overtime all night," the editor-in-chief gritted his fists, walked back and forth in the office, and began to dream, "How many years have there been such an interesting story?" The value is exclusive! Our magazine will be a hit! This time, colleagues can only envy from the sidelines hahaha, let out a breath of anger!"

Ding Dong saw the editor-in-chief laughing so hard that he couldn't close his mouth, guessed that he was in a good mood, and boldly asked: "Editor-in-chief, can you predict some bonuses for me in advance, I need money urgently!"

As soon as money was mentioned, the smile on the lips of the editor-in-chief subsided a lot, and he said in an old-fashioned way, "Ding Dong, it's not uncommon for you to know that the funds in the agency are difficult to operate. When this issue is sold, the editor-in-chief will give you what you deserve." You, don’t worry, don’t worry! The editor-in-chief will give you whatever price other agencies offer for an exclusive, and I will do what I say!”

Seeing that the editor-in-chief had rarely made a promise, Ding Dong was a little relieved, the rest was for copy editors, so she hurriedly left the magazine to pick up Mai Mai from the kindergarten.

On the way back from picking up Mai Mai, she received a call from Xia Zhihe, and she only saw the exclusive photo, and shouted excitedly on the phone: "Oh my God, Ai Mingmei dumped Qin Yuan in front of everyone, and even slapped Qin Yuan." Slap him! Oh my god, it’s so explosive! Tomorrow A city will explode because of this news, Ding Dong, what can I say about you? You’ve become a blockbuster without making a sound! Who would have known such an explosion? Was the exclusive filmed by you, an unknown little reporter?!"

Ding Dong on the other end of the phone was very calm, the process was really thrilling, for a while she didn't know what to say to Xia Zhihe, she was really tired this day, so she hung up the phone after chatting for a few words.

Ding Dong suffered from insomnia that night, and his mind was filled with those images in the afternoon over and over again, as well as those people, the cold but incomprehensible Qin Yuan, Ai Mingmei who cried away bitterly, Zhou Jingxuan who was so warm and disturbing... , and Mary Kim who saw her faint suddenly.

On this quiet night, she felt more irritable than ever.

The next day, the whole city was ebullient because of a magazine's exclusive disclosure.

On the way back from sending Maimai to the kindergarten, Ding Dong passed a newsstand, and found that it was surrounded by people, most of them were young girls, and they all had a copy of "Daily Star Entertainment", and they all had surprised expressions.

A girl was reading the headline word by word with her eyes wide open, "Surprise at the wedding of the wealthy family! Qin Yuan, the son of the wealthy family, was slapped by the bride on his wedding day and regretted his marriage!"

"Oh my god, Qin Yuan was dumped? It's a rich scandal!" Her companion, another girl, yelled.

"Yeah, the Qin family has lost face this time and will become a laughing stock."

"That Ai Mingmei, is she blind? Or is she out of her mind? Qin Yuan, the city's number one diamond king, Laowu, the Prince Charming of so many girls, she doesn't want it?! Why didn't she make it clear earlier if she didn't want to marry him? Waiting until the wedding day to embarrass him, let me tell you, she doesn't love him at all, maybe it's more of hatred, no one would do such a terrible thing to the man he loves."

The girl who said these words was more sensible, and the other two girls nodded in agreement, "Yes, it's too bad, this woman is cruel enough."

Ding Dong stood beside them silently with his pockets in his pockets, with mixed feelings in his heart, that girl was partly right, Ai Mingmei was indeed ruthless.

It's just that, contrary to most people's expectations, she loves Qin Yuan deeply, and the depth of love is hatred, but ten years of love can't win back his heart, so she expresses her love in such an extreme way. away from anger.

The weather of this day was gloomy and gloomy just like a sad person's mood. Ding Dong's mood was not as excited as imagined, but a little sad.

Ding Dong is not the only woman in this world who can't find happiness.

In order to avoid the limelight, she didn't go back to the magazine, and received a call from the editor-in-chief as soon as she arrived at the door.

"Xiao Ding, you are a great contributor to our magazine this time! All the [-] copies of this issue have been sold out. Our magazine office is very proud this time, and even colleagues from Entertainment Daily are asking me about this signature." Who is the author of "Tong Ting", hahaha, Xiao Ding, what pseudonym do you use? This is a great opportunity for you to become famous, and the editor-in-chief feels pity for you."

The old guy talked for a long time, but he didn't mention the remuneration at all. Ding Dong was a little displeased, and said, "Editor-in-Chief, I got an exclusive this time, and I need money urgently, can you..."

"Ah, Xiao Ding, I have a call. Let's talk about the bonus next time."

The phone hung up with a "beep", and Ding Dong frowned, a little worried that the editor-in-chief would not be able to fulfill his original promise.

She thinks that she is not a shrewd person, unlike other reporters who can usually sell her photos for a good price. The bonus promised by the editor-in-chief yesterday can not only redeem Brother Kuang, but also keep some, so she also The lion did not open his mouth again.

She decided to go to the editor-in-chief to ask for money tomorrow. The magazine must have made a lot of money for this exclusive news. She deserved the money for the exclusive she risked her life to get.

At night Ding Dong was about to fall asleep, when the phone beside the bed rang loudly, she was startled for a moment, but she didn't dare to answer it, but when she carefully checked that it was Xia Zhihe's call, she breathed a sigh of relief, and picked it up.

"Hey, Zhihe, are you still asleep?" She smiled and asked in a relaxed tone.

Xia Zhihe on the phone yelled at Ding Dong, "Ding Dong, leave your house quickly! Quickly, take Mai Mai away! Qin Yuan is looking for someone to arrest you! Now the whole city is looking for you!"

Xia Zhihe was agitated on the other side, apparently greatly stimulated, "The magazine office has been smashed to pieces, the editor-in-chief has been taken away by the underworld, and all the magazines we printed have been burned! Ding Dong, we are finished." , We have provoked Hades, Qin Yuan has become a joke of the upper class, he can only vent his anger on us, he plays with our magazine as easily as crushing an ant, but his real target is you, you Ding Dong! He won't spare you!"

"They are on their way to your house, run away, Ding Dong! The farther the better!"

The mobile phone slipped from Ding Dong's hand weakly and fell to the ground, while Xia Zhihe's "run away" was still pouring out of the receiver frantically over and over again, bombarding her hearing.

Ding Dong was stunned for a few seconds, the car horn outside the window woke her up, she looked left and right hesitantly, and suddenly rushed to Mai Mai's room.

Her lips trembled unconsciously, and she shook the sleeping child vigorously, "Mai Mai! Mai Mai! My dear Mai Mai, get up quickly, we must get out of here immediately!"

The little boy who was woken up was sleepy and obviously very upset. He pushed Ding Dong's hand away and turned over, muttering, "Dongdong, what are you doing? I want to sleep! Don't disturb me!"

"Mai Mai, please don't sleep! We can't stay at home tonight!" Ding Dong got angry and pulled the sleeping child up. Mai Mai opened his innocent eyes and cried angrily.

"Dongdong, I hate you. I want to tell my father that you won't let me sleep, woo woo woo!"

The disobedient child rubbed her tears, and Ding Dong's head throbbed from crying. She slumped on the edge of the bed and stared blankly at the crying child. Her eyes were empty, and all the strength in her body was taken away by the phone call just now.

Maimai cried for a while, sensitively noticed Ding Dong's strangeness, and finally got scared, and tentatively touched the motionless Ding Dong with her small hand, "Dongdong, what's wrong with you? Talk to me."

"Remember, if there is a next time, I won't forgive you so easily."

Qin Yuan's warning voice was still lingering in his ears, Ding Dong shivered all over his body, and suddenly woke up.No, she can't fall into Qin Yuan's hands again, she makes him lose all face, and makes the good man he has painstakingly built in front of the public collapse overnight, he must hate her to the core, if she falls into his hands, she will die Miserably.

Ding Dong's eyes rolled around in panic, and his palms were clenched tightly.

Her whole body trembled, and all her fears turned into the courage to live at this moment, "Mai Mai, get up and get dressed, we'll leave right away."

Five minutes later, Ding Dong led Mai Mai, took all the valuables at home and some clothes, and went straight to the train station.She bought a ticket back to City B, and wanted to go back to her parents to hide. There are many relatives in her hometown, so it is not difficult to find a place to hide. Holding the ticket, she thought that she had escaped death, but the moment she saw the ticket gate The smile collapsed.

Beside the ticket gate stood a few men with hulking backs and waists full of hostility. Their eyes were sharply staring at the passing passengers. Ding Dong stepped aside and hid himself in the shadows to observe the distance. The focus of people is on young girls, and the ticket inspectors are obviously manipulated by them. Every young girl's ID card must be checked repeatedly before she is willing to let her go.

Ding Dong gasped, that was Qin Yuan's person, the person they were looking for was her!
Her hands holding the ticket were sweating coldly, and her knuckles were turning white. Zhihe was right, Qin Yuan was setting a net to find her, and he couldn't spare her.

She didn't dare to stay any longer, took Mai Mai's hand, lowered her head and hurried out of the train station.

She held a glimmer of hope to call Ai Mingmei's cell phone, but the result was the same as she had done dozens of times before, and she turned off the phone.

Thinking about it, Ai Mingmei let out a bad breath in her heart, and played a good game of chess wisely, how could she care about the life and death of her unknown pawn.

Ding Dong was startled.

Maimai had noticed something wrong with her expression a long time ago, and looked up at her wonderingly, with a sleepy look on her face, "Dongdong, I'm sleepy, can we go home?"

Ding Dong almost shed tears, home, where is the home, that so-called home is also rented, and she has nowhere to go except that place, homeless, she wanders in this bustling and bustling city with her homeless children. In the cold city, there are countless pursuers behind her, but where can she escape?
She stopped a taxi and asked the driver directly if she could take them to City B, and she was willing to pay several times the price.

The driver hesitated, and just asked, "Have you brought your ID card?"

"No," Ding Dong pleaded bitterly, "Don't worry, I'm rushing back to my hometown with my children, we orphans and widows are definitely not bad people, please make it easier for me, I beg you."

The driver told the truth, "It's not that I don't want to take you, it's just that I don't know what's going on today. It's very tight to go out of the city. You are not allowed to leave the city without an ID card. You don't have an ID card. No matter how high the price is, I can't help it. Go back and get your ID. Prove."

Ding Dong's eyes were full of disappointment, but he still got into the car with Mai Mai and reported the address of Xia Zhihe's home.

In this unaccompanied city, she has only a few friends left to turn to.

When Xia Zhihe went downstairs, Ding Dong was dressed in starlight, sitting pitifully in a dark corner of the building with Mai Mai in his arms, like a broken doll that had lost its soul, which made people feel unbearable.

Zhihe glanced around and saw no suspicious people walking around, so he shouted excitedly, "Ding Dong..."

Ding Dong who heard the voice raised her head slowly, her chin was pointed pitifully, as if she had walked through thousands of rivers and mountains, she choked up and shouted, "Zhihe..."

Xia Zhihe jumped anxiously, "Ding Dong, what are you doing back here? Have you forgotten what I told you?"

Ding Dong looked helpless, "It's not that I don't want to leave, it's that I can't. There are a group of people checking at the train station and bus station, and the taxi drivers refuse to take me out of the city. I dare not go to the hotel even if I need an ID card. With Mai Mai, I... I really have nowhere to go."
