forget forget you

Chapter 9
Before going to bed, Ning Lixia remembered the mobile phone Jiang Shaozheng gave her.

There are a series of numbers in the communication log, except for the mother and sister, I don’t know them all, and they are probably harassing calls.The inbox was also full of text messages. After reading the text messages from his mother and sister, Ning Lixia only had regrets.

With nothing else to do, she deleted spam text messages one by one, until she found a money transfer reminder text message from the bank. Ning Lixia accidentally clicked on it, and after reading it for a long time, she didn't recover.

The transfer amount is [-], and the postscript is "Xiao Yu must be good with her mother".

She quickly searched forward, and the earliest one was about three weeks after she left Cheng's house, with a transfer amount of 50 yuan, and the postscript was "Safe, don't read, go find your mother quickly."

Then every year on her birthday, a sum of money will be transferred to the bank card her father gave her when she was in college.

Ning Lixia thought dejectedly, Dad must not have thought that after using up all the money in it, she changed her name and quickly discarded that card, and now she can't find it anymore.So she didn't see the phrase "Happy Birthday" that she said every year until now.

"Can you come in?" Mrs. Ning called from outside the door.

Ning Lixia hid the phone before answering: "You come in."

"I stewed bird's nest, so I have to eat at night."

"After you lived here, I gained a lot of weight."

"How can you be considered fat? Your face was so ugly before, it's not as good as it is now. Hmm..." Mrs. Ning hesitated to speak, "I heard from your sister that you went to see Jiang Shaozheng in the afternoon?"

"...Is there anything else that she doesn't take out and talk about?"

"She just mentioned it inadvertently. You and Jiang Shaozheng?"

"Just an ordinary friend."

"Don't blame me for being troublesome...Jiang Shaozheng is good, but the Jiang family used to know us too well and knew everything. If you get together with Jiang Shaozheng, will the Jiang family despise you? After all, that kind of family wants face. I It means that it is better to choose someone who is not so knowledgeable. Anyway, you have changed your name now. Although it is the most important thing to be in love, marriage is not just about marrying a person. It is also important whether the other party’s parents value you. It's still very important for girls. It's all your father's fault, he...forget it, it's meaningless to mention these now."

"I don't think father is ashamed, and I don't think about people who think so." Instinctively said this sentence, seeing mother's embarrassed face, Ning Lixia felt regretful again, and comforted softly, "I know you are doing it for me." Okay, did Han Lu tell you that Jiang Shaozheng's mother asked me about it? Don't worry, I have no affair with Jiang Shaozheng."

"Isn't he chasing you now? You liked him so much in the past. I'm afraid your heart will soften."

"...You even know this? Please tell Han Lu for me, I won't tell her anything in the future!"

After persuading his mother to leave, Ning Lixia immediately called Ning Yu.

"I lost my previous bank card, and now I have changed my name, and my old ID card has also been abolished. Is there any way you can help me get a new one?"

Asked why, Ning Yu flatly refused: "Are you short of money? Why are you making such a big circle? I'll call you tomorrow as much as I need."

"It's not about money, it's what my dad gave me."

"What's the matter? It's because he gave it to you so you can't touch it. Aren't you afraid of being regarded as an accomplice if you use the stolen money?"

"It's fine if you don't help, why bother to be sarcastic?"

Thinking of the last time Ning Lixia didn't answer his phone for two days, Ning Yu let out a soft tone: "Well, as long as you don't mention your father again, I promise I won't make fun of him again."

"Okay." Ning Lixia sighed, "That's it, I'm dead."

"Don't hang up, I still have something to say to you."

"I have nothing to say to you." Ning Lixia hung up the phone.

Hearing the busy tone from the mobile phone, Ning Yu smiled helplessly at Meng Zheng who was beside him: "Women can't get used to it, once they get used to it, they push their noses on their faces."

After sitting there for a while, Ning Lixia dialed Jiang Shaozheng's number again.

"Are you in the hospital? Is it convenient to talk now?" Ning Lixia was afraid of being overheard by Mrs. Jiang, causing another disturbance.

"You said."

"I looked through the text messages you gave me on my mobile phone, and I saw a few money transfer reminders, it should be my father..."

"Your father sent you money, didn't you know it until now?" Jiang Shaozheng was slightly surprised.

"That card has been used for a long time, and I can't find it now. I changed my name and identity information, and I can't get it reissued at the bank. I want to know where the money was remitted from."

"Give me the card number, and I'll find a way."

"I don't remember the card number, and it reminds me that there is only a four-digit ending number in the text message."

"Then tell me your previous ID number and the bank where you opened the account."

Ning Lixia quickly reported it to him.

Jiang Shaozheng said: "I wrote it down and will tell you tomorrow."

When Song Yarou pushed open the door, Jiang Shaozheng was standing outside the ward on the phone. Hearing his tone gently telling the other party to rest early and not think too much, Song Yarou realized that Jiang Shaozheng's seriousness and polite indifference were only aimed at herself.It turns out that he also has a tender and delicate side.

After hanging up the phone, the tenderness on Jiang Shaozheng's face has not dissipated, making Song Yarou feel extremely glaring.

"Who's on the phone, did something good happen?"

"Ning Lixia. She asked me to do some small things."

It's Ning Lixia again!
Did her asking for help make him so happy?Song Yarou's heart sank, but she said, "Do you need my help?"

"No. Why are you here?"

"I quarreled with my mother, and she said some inexplicable things... I was in a bad mood, and I didn't want to stay at home, so I had to go out for a walk, and I came here... I stopped by to see my aunt, I didn't expect to meet you , staying up for several nights, can you bear it?"

"I'm used to it. I can rest in the escort room, so I don't have to stay up all night." Jiang Shaozheng didn't ask Song Yarou why she was in a bad mood, so much so that she wanted to quarrel with her mother.

"Auntie fell asleep?"

"Well, she went to bed early."

"Then I'd better go back, so as not to affect her here."

"When she wakes up, I will tell her that you have been here. I still have information to read, so I won't send you off."

Song Yarou was startled, a trace of embarrassment flashed across her face, but she was never one to give up easily, she became more and more courageous when encountering dangers, maybe she didn't like Jiang Shaozheng very much, but the more he rejected others, the more she loved him. Not willing to give up on this.

"Is there anything I did wrong that made you unhappy?"

Jiang Shaozheng was very surprised: "Why do you think so."

"Your attitude towards me is very different from before."

"You think too much."

"Maybe I'm sensitive. My mother has been forcing me to get engaged within the year, but where can I find a marriage partner? I can only study and work, and my love experience is a blank slate. I am annoyed, but I can't find anyone else to say, It’s embarrassing on the one hand, and on the other hand, no matter who I tell them, it’s hard for them to believe that I’m fighting with my parents.”

Jiang Shaozheng felt the same about this, so he said with a smile: "My mother gritted her teeth and told my aunts and uncles that I sent her to the hospital this time, but they didn't believe it. I was used to being a good child since I was a child, and my parents were used to us being obedient. They can't accept their ideas if they put forward a little different opinion, it's better to grow up like Tang Ruize, and Aunt Tang will be grateful when she hears a word from time to time."

Song Yarou also laughed: "It's more than obedience! My parents require me to be ahead in everything, and even the boyfriend I find must be better than the son-in-law of 'other family' in every way. Where can I customize a perfect one for them in every way?" come out?"

"You have been a good kid from someone else's family that your peers' parents said to you since you were a child. It's really not a pity to choose someone who is equally outstanding. Take your time, and you will definitely find someone who will satisfy your uncles and aunts."

Song Yarou felt cold, so she gave up on the temptation and asked straightforwardly: "I know that my aunt is like my mother. I think there are not many children of acquaintances who are single and pleasing to the eye, so I desperately want to get me and you together. Are you because This is the reason why you don’t treat me as a friend more and more? Maybe you didn’t realize it yourself, you have never deliberately alienated me like this before, and I always wonder if I did something wrong to make you hate it.”

"I thought you were as embarrassed as I am, so you can understand my approach. I didn't expect to misunderstand you. I'm really sorry. They are enthusiastic about them, but we ignore them. When the excitement passes, they will naturally find it boring."

"Are you afraid that Li Xia will be unhappy if you get too close to me? I can explain it to her next time I see her."

"I told you earlier, she knows the relationship between you and me very well." Jiang Shaozheng smiled self-deprecatingly, "Actually, she doesn't really care about my affairs."

Jiang Shaozheng had helplessness and loneliness that couldn't be hidden on his face.

"you like her?"

Jiang Shaozheng smiled and acquiesced: "It's a pity that people look down on me now. But it's okay, as long as she is happy, even if she rejects me, there is nothing to regret."

"As long as you live better than me? She is really lucky to meet you. It's too late, I'll go back first." Song Yarou forced a smile, got up and left.

As soon as Song Yarou entered the house, Mrs. Song caught up and asked, "Did you see Jiang Shaozheng? Did he explain to you why he met Ning Lixia in the afternoon?"

Song Yarou let out a "hmm".

"What's the reason in his mouth? You don't want to be too petty, get angry over things that don't exist, and don't overdo it. At least let him know that you don't mind if he goes to see Yan Guyu." Mrs. Song He didn't pay attention to his daughter's face and continued talking to himself.

"By the way, did he send you back?"

"Mom, I'm tired and I want to take a bath and rest."

"Did you quarrel? Did you take the initiative to find him and let him think that you cared about him very much and would not marry unless he was the only one? This Jiang Shaozheng is really stupid. If you don't look for him, he won't know how to ask you out! Obviously his mother told me that he Have a crush on you."

"I have class tomorrow." Song Yarou felt a headache and pushed her mother out of the house.

After calming down, she felt even more difficult to breathe, so she called Ning Yu uncontrollably.

Surprisingly, the phone actually got through.

"Is there something wrong?" Ning Yu was very noisy.

"Are you in the bar? Not only me, but even Ning Lixia can't control you?"

"Are you on good terms with her? You don't forget to check for her in the middle of the night. She is very magnanimous and has no hobby of being suspicious."

"The one who is generous is you, right? I used to think that for a domineering person like you, as long as he likes someone, he must not see her say a word to other men."

"What do you want to say? Ning Lixia and Jiang Shaozheng." Ning Yu frowned.

"I met them at the playground in the afternoon, and they went to ride the Ferris wheel together like children. Although I don't know what you like about Ning Lixia and how long you like her, I still feel that it is necessary to remind you as a friend."

"If you want me to separate Jiang Shaozheng and Ning Lixia for you, just say it. It bothers you the most about beating around the bush. I also remind you, don't always stare at others. Even if Jiang Shaozheng didn't meet Ning Lixia, he probably didn't like you. , not everyone's vision is as bad as mine used to be."

Song Yarou was so angry that she dropped the phone directly.

"Whose phone number?" Meng Zheng, who was sitting at the side, asked.

"Song Yarou."

"You speak too directly. It's not good. Women are stingy. If you make them anxious, I really hate you. On the contrary, it's more difficult to deal with than men."

Ning Yu, who couldn't get through to Ning Lixia's phone, said, "What can she do to me?"

Meng Zheng smiled and clinked glasses with him: "No matter what, I can't beat you. Anyone who knows you knows that you never show mercy. But doesn't she know Ning Lixia too, so don't you worry about her getting along with Ning Lixia?" Li Xia say something?"

"What did you say? You said I chased her before? No one has ever been blind, not to mention that Ning Lixia's eyesight was not very good in the past."

"Okay. Good luck."

However, Ning Yu's luck was really not very good, because after class the next day, Song Yarou caught up with Ning Lixia who was about to leave the classroom with the book in his arms.

Of course she wouldn't tell Ning Lixia how Ning Yu chased her ten years ago. She was far more than the only woman Ning Yu had chased, so Ning Lixia probably wouldn't care.

There is only one way to hit Ning Yu and make Ning Lixia understand that she is not very important, and that is to tell her what happened seven years ago.

"Would you like a place to sit?"

"Unfortunately, I was rushing back to the studio for a meeting, and there was a lot of things waiting for me to deal with."

"I have something to tell you. It's about Uncle Yan. Just forget about it if you're busy. Let's talk about it later."

Ning Lixia was stunned: "My father? Tell me, the meeting can be postponed until the afternoon, and I can just call back."

"It's too noisy here, let's find a place to have lunch and talk. I know a good Sichuan restaurant."

Song Yarou has always had the slowest temper, and she didn't immediately get to the point when she arrived at the place. Instead, she excitedly flipped through the menu and recommended it to Ning Lixia.

Ning Lixia was anxious in her heart, but she didn't want to show it, she could only wait for her to speak first.

After ordering and waiting for the dishes to be served, Song Yarou said unhurriedly, "You know about Uncle Yan's news, right?"

"Well, I heard that."

"As long as people are safe, what can't be solved? Don't worry too much. Since he is back, even if he dare not show up for the time being, you will meet one day. How can a father not miss his daughter?"

"You just want to comfort me? Thank you, I have nothing to worry about." Song Yarou's superior tone made Ning Lixia feel awkward.

Song Yarou looked very embarrassed: "Of course not. I hesitated for a long time about some words, and I really didn't know whether I should say them or not."

"You came to me just to talk, but it doesn't matter."

Song Yarou smiled, and didn't mind Ning Lixia's unfriendliness at all: "Don't blame me for being troublesome, let alone be angry, we grew up together, and I only talk about you as a younger sister. Forget about Han Lu, she has been used to you since she was a child. Uncle Yan loves you so much, how can you be with Ning Yu and change his surname? Let Uncle Yan know, he will be sad."

"The name is just a code name, and changing the surname is also forced by circumstances. As long as I can avoid danger, my father won't mind."

"It's fine to change someone else's surname, but it's Ning Yu's."

Ning Lixia became impatient: "Thank you for caring about my father so much, he has big things to worry about now, so he won't care about these irrelevant little problems."

"If it wasn't for Ning Yu, Uncle Yan wouldn't have come to this point, how could it be called irrelevant! You don't know that, do you?"

"I don't know, and I don't understand what you mean." Ning Lixia lost his last patience, "Just say what you want to say, don't beat around the bush, I'm exhausted for you after going around such a big circle."

Song Yarou, who was robbed, was still not annoyed. She smiled and lowered her head to drink the Biluochun in the cup. After a pause, she asked Ning Lixia: "You have never liked me, right? It was because of Jiang Shaoqian before, but what about now? If it is still Because he's nothing, but if it's for Ning Yu... it's just sympathetic."

"Who is Ning Yu? Although you have been in touch with him far longer than I do, it is absolutely impossible to know him better than me. I say this not because I am arrogant, nor because I have been his girlfriend, but It's because the word 'equality' exists in the relationship between me and him. But what about you?" Song Yarou smiled meaningfully, "I rely on him everywhere, so naturally he is what he says, how can I have the right to be with you?" Opportunity to tell right from wrong.”

"You met Ning Yu near your villa, right? Do you know why he appeared there? Because your house was being collected. In fact, you didn't need to rush into his car and chase you at that time Those people that your father won't let go listen to Ning Yu's words, because he is your father's biggest creditor, and they share the same hatred with those people. But what those people don't know is that Uncle Yan will fail to invest, borrow money everywhere, and cheat them of money. Thanks to Ning Yu, he set up a trap to lure Uncle Yan to invest."

Ning Lixia, who had been silent all this time, couldn't see any strangeness on his face, he just asked, "How do you know this?"

"At that time, Ning Yu and I hadn't broken up yet."

"I haven't broken up yet, but I'm about to be forced to break up? Maybe I don't have the chance to tell right from wrong, but I have the chance to decide whether to stay with Ning Yu." Ning Lixia packed up his things and got up to leave, "Sorry, I didn't It should be said that you are so well-intentioned that it is appropriate for me to show a surprised and heartbroken expression. You have the right to pretend that I am very disappointed, so that at least a little balance can be obtained."

Before Ning Yu got on the plane, he sent out a long menu as usual.

Ning Lixia, who had just finished the meeting, received a text message and called his sister, saying that he would not go home for dinner, and then left work early and went to the vegetable market.

With her mother and younger sister at home, she had no choice but to go to Ning Yu's apartment and was busy all evening. When Ning Yu entered the door, she saw a table full of vegetables and said with a smile: "You are smart, and you know how to make up for your mistakes."

"What will make up for it?"

"Where did you go yesterday?"

Ning Lixia realized that he was referring to Jiang Shaoqian, but he deliberately said: "I didn't go anywhere, it's rare that I'm free, so I'm resting at home."

Ning Yu's face darkened, but he didn't say anything after all.

"I've cooked all the special dishes, would you like some wine?"

"Okay." Looking at the newly replaced sunflowers in the vase, Ning Yu said with a smile, "You're not going to propose to me, you want to get me drunk and cook the recycled rice?"

Ning Lixia, who was looking for liquor, gave him an annoyed look.

Ning Yu, who didn't talk much, talked all over the place for a long time because he was in a really good mood, and felt a little tipsy after only drinking half a bottle of wine.

"This is not an example." He stretched out his index finger and tapped Ning Lixia's forehead lightly.

"What?" Ning Lixia was puzzled.

"Don't lie to me again, this is the last time. Don't see Jiang Shaoqian again."

"How do you know about my meeting with Jiang Shaoqian yesterday afternoon?"

"Of course I know." After a pause, Ning Yu continued, "Song Yarou told me, look, I'm more honest than you."

"Then do you know what she told me today?"

"She really went to look for you?" Ning Yu shook his head and smiled, "Meng Zheng guessed it right, as expected, the more pretentious a woman is, the smaller she will be."

"You don't mind me knowing." Ning Lixia sighed infinitely, "Indeed, our relationship has been unequal from the very beginning. I rely on you everywhere, so I have no right to expect equality."

"Where are we unequal? ​​You can ignore Song Yarou's words. She has mental problems, but she avoids medical treatment and refuses to go to the doctor."

"You asked me not to lie to you, but you kept lying to me."

"What did I lie to you?" Seeing the seriousness on Ning Lixia's face, Ning Yu pulled the corner of her mouth lightly, and raised her hand to pinch her cheek.

Ning Lixia tilted his head and avoided it: "I heard that you passed by my villa seven years ago to take over the house?"

Hearing this sentence, Ning Yu immediately woke up. His heart was shaken, but his face was still smiling: "Yes, Song Yarou told you? Even she knows this, it seems that the detective she hired is not an idiot."

"No wonder you were going to give my old house as a gift on my birthday last year. I thought you were joking."

"You said you didn't want to be emotional, so I sold it later. If you change your mind, I can buy it back." Ning Yu's tone was very relaxed.

"Ning Yu! Don't you have anything to explain?" His indifferent attitude made Ning Lixia feel even more chilled.

"Why should I explain? I have never lied to you, not once. My grievances with your father have nothing to do with you, and there is no need to tell you deliberately."

"...You're always right, it's just my stupidity, I think I'm escaping myself."

"What do you mean by throwing yourself into a trap? Have I treated you badly in the past few years?"

"Then what is your motive for taking me away? You clearly know the people who are chasing me, and they will let me go if you say a word, why let me get in the car?"

"So what if we know each other, my face is not worth that much money. If I don't pay back the money for your father, you will be in danger of being arrested."

"My father is bankrupt and in debt, is it related to you?"

"Yes." Ning Yu confessed very frankly, "But that is his own fault."

Seeing Ning Lixia's face change, Ning Yu, who always disdained to explain, made an exception: "Can you listen to me before making a judgment?"

"This incident was completely initiated by your father. Because of your mother, he hated my father. It is not difficult to understand. His ex-wife got married as soon as he divorced. People outside didn't know the truth, thinking that he was cuckolded. Laugh at him. Even if he doesn't take your mother seriously, he won't be able to face it."

"If he dealt with my dad clearly, I would admire him, but what? He didn't have the courage and was unwilling, so he aimed at me who just fell out with my dad and started my own family. Hehe, such a roundabout tactic is also thanks to his thinking If he hadn't been used to bullying the little and fearing the big, and offended Song Yarou's father and thought he was his friend, maybe I was the one who was heavily in debt and wanted. Thanks to Song Yarou's father's tip-off, I reined in the precipice. Didn't fall into his tricks. I was tricked and swallowed my anger. Am I being taken advantage of? It took me three years to follow the tricks. If your father was smart enough or knew how to stop losses in time, how could he have ended up like this today. Song Yarou's father teamed up to lure him to invest blindly, and he didn't let him cheat money everywhere after he couldn't make ends meet, in the final analysis, he still blamed himself for being too stupid."

"As for the motive of saving you, I just feel that after the city gate caught fire, you, an innocent fish in the pond, are too pitiful, so it's easy."

"So, I should thank you for your great kindness now?" Ning Lixia laughed angrily.

"Your father is your father, and you are you. I have never been prejudiced against you because I don't like your father. You should be more objective."

"You made me homeless and my father run away, how can I be objective?"

"Did I let your father run away?" Ning Yu frowned first, then held back his anger and softened his tone, "Forget it, I don't want to quarrel with you. Just treat it as if I'm sorry for you."

"Just do it? I really don't understand why you can always be so confident."

"Because I didn't do anything wrong."

"Isn't it true that you lied to me for so long? I thought meeting you was the greatest luck in the first half of my life."

"Again, I didn't lie to you. If you ask me, I'll tell you the truth. The reason why I never mentioned it to you is that I don't think the matter between me and your father has anything to do with you."

"Before today, I have always been very grateful to you, and I have always felt that there is nothing to repay. This psychological burden can finally be unloaded now. Ning Yu, it is time for us to say goodbye." Ning Lixia stood up.

Before she left, Ning Yu blocked the door: "Don't bet on me with such meaningless anger. How can you calm down? As long as you can say it, I will definitely do it."

"keep your word?"

"I can help you find your father."

"It's not that troublesome. I just want to get together and get away."

Ning Yu looked at Ning Lixia quietly for a while, then let go of the hand holding the doorknob, and smiled at her: "Congratulations, you finally found a good excuse to get rid of me."

The word "get rid of" made Ning Lixia feel sad, but he didn't stop, pushed Ning Yu away, opened the door and went out.
