Chapter 2 Love's Funeral

Q
The wedding of your ex is the funeral of your love.

Every woman once dreamed of becoming a princess, being cared for, loved, hiding in the greenhouse he gave to see the world, thinking that many things can be redeemed even if they are lost, such as conscience, such as weight.

But she no longer wants to be someone's princess, because she understands that there are more irreversible things, such as old dreams.

When Annie got up early, the weather in Beijing was fine. This city, which is almost known for its pollution, finally ushered in the long-lost blue sky. It was not yet noon, and the sun was not shining.

She opened the curtains, then opened the refrigerator to look, and was going to have yogurt for breakfast.A courier came outside the door. She bit the yogurt straw and went out to receive it. She couldn't remember if she had ordered anything.

She closed the door and shook it, feeling that the envelope was light and fluffy, and she didn't bother to take a closer look. The phone rang, and the two best sisters invited her to a boudoir party in the afternoon.After chatting for a while, Annie agreed, and then came back to open the package, only to find that there was only one beautifully decorated card inside.She glanced at it, and couldn't swallow the yogurt she had just swallowed. She choked for some reason, it was sour and bitter, forcing her to cover her mouth and rinse her mouth.

Without any warning, she repeatedly washed her face with cold water, and all the skin care products she had just applied in the morning were ruined.

She ran back in a panic to check the expiration date on the yogurt box, and the card was thrown on the dining table.She leaned against the kitchen door, staring at it for a long time, not daring to walk past it, as if the little card had become a stinging monster.

No... more terrifying than a monster, leaving her nowhere to hide.

Annie couldn't help shaking slightly, and the yogurt in her hand spilled all over the floor.

She knows that everything has a shelf life, and the yogurt is okay, but she is the one who expires.

After absent-mindedly attending a boudoir party, Annie accidentally bought a magazine on the way home.An exception was made on the cover, which did not use satirical star news as a gimmick, but published a photo of a couple of newcomers.The two wore suits and white gauze dresses respectively. The blue sea and blue sky, the looks of a man and a woman, just like a loving wedding photo.

The beautiful picture hurt her eyes, and she didn't even notice that the red light had changed.The right-turning car blew its horn to remind her, and she suddenly reacted and passed by in a hurry.

She walked forward aimlessly, clutching the magazine tightly in her hand.She ran to buy it on purpose just now, but after she got it, she didn't want to read it, or rather, she didn't dare to read it.

There are rows of cafes on both sides of the street, and the dark brown mirror reflects Anne's silhouette. She looked sideways inadvertently, only to realize that she had been biting her lip, leaving faint tooth marks on her lip.The sunglasses hid all her expressions, leaving only a trace of paleness on her face.She used strength all the way without knowing it, biting her lips so that the color of her lips was bright, and projected into the reflected picture, there was a sudden blush, just like the bride in the magazine in her hand.

It's just that the other party is a newlywed, and she only has this little effort that was wrongly paid.

Thinking of this, Annie angrily found orange lipstick and quickly put it on. She didn't want to be like anyone else, and she didn't want to make herself look pitiful.

It wasn't until this moment that she finally understood that no matter how long they broke up, as long as she saw news about Zhang Yi again, her heart would still be touched.It is said that the pain of being broken up for a long time will make people numb, but she will repeat the experience every time, like a person sentenced to death, unresolved, opening her eyes every day, she can still see the bloody knife.

No matter who Zhang Yi was rumored to be having an affair with, and who made the headlines with him, even if she only saw his wedding photos now, she still felt like a thorn in her throat.

It was stabbed in her heart, she couldn't remove it, and she couldn't forget it either.

There is no trace of any emotional breakup, but it is a pity that women are prone to indulge in gorgeous illusions in love.The crown of love has long been covered with dust. It's not that she didn't see it, but she didn't want to delve into it at all.

At that time, Zhang Yi left Beijing to go on a long trip to shoot a feature-length TV series.The crew quickly changed locations, and Zhang Yi told Annie that he was going to Dalian.At first, he was afraid that she would worry, so he talked on the phone every night, and his relationship was not affected by the region at all.Later, Zhang Yi had more and more night scenes, and his phone calls became less and less.Then, four and a half months later, he finally returned to Beijing.

The other half has a change of heart, and the person involved is always the last to know.In fact, it's not that they are really that slow, it's just that even if they know it, they don't want to admit it.

Annie made the mistake of all parties, thinking they had a home.But in Zhang Yi's mind, this might just be a safe hotel that doesn't require payment.

On the day Zhang Yi came back from filming, Annie was very happy. She researched new recipes, bought ingredients and red wine, and cooked dinner for him.But Zhang Yi didn't eat when he got home, let alone had a sip of red wine. He just kept repeating that he was tired and wanted to rest, and then he lay down on the bed soon.

They were separated from each other for four and a half months, and Zhang Yi didn't even touch her that night.

Annie couldn't sleep that whole night. She repeatedly reheated and reheated the hard-earned meals. She didn't believe that Zhang Yi would really ignore her efforts.But until dawn, Zhang Yi had been sleeping deeply, and she was the only one who drank the red wine.

Later she realized that when a man doesn't want to touch you and tells you "I'm tired" repeatedly, it means "I have someone outside".

Annie still remembered that on the day she and Zhang Yi broke up, she insisted on moving out and spent the whole morning packing up. This home was where she and Zhang Yi lived together.The days of the two of them spending time together lasted eight years.

The room is not big, and the living room is not too big. Looking up, you can see through it all.But in such a small place, there are her and Zhang Yi in every corner.There are flowers and plants planted together by the window, on the table are the tableware she bought specially, and the patterns he likes...

She always thought that Zhang Yi would say something else, and she had a glimmer of hope in her heart.But on this day, he sat on the sofa from the beginning to the end, motionless, and didn't even look up at her.

Annie forced herself to ignore this feeling, not to think about whether he was so tired that he didn't even want to say a word to her.She focused all her attention on tidying up, looking focused and serious.

Living together for many years, there are already too many things that belong to her, filling every corner of the house, and there are two big boxes of bottles and cans alone.In the end, she also cleaned the bathroom, only to suddenly realize that the only things left by Zhang Yi were a toothbrush and a razor, and they were disposable, which were placed alone by the sink.

Staying in a hotel is nothing more than that, and you can check out when the time is up.

Anne dejectedly took off the plastic gloves on her hands, feeling ironic, and looked up at the mirror, which hadn't been wiped for a long time, and it was covered with water stains, reflecting her face, which was ugly and sad, like weeping flowers tear stains.But she clearly didn't know whether she should cry or laugh. The only thing she could be sure of was... Zhang Yi had long wanted to leave her side, and had already found another place to stay.

He's taking everything, including himself.

At this point, Annie didn't hesitate anymore. She dragged her suitcase and two travel bags and went out. The moving company downstairs hadn't come up yet, so she had to stop at the elevator door and wait instead of going to see Zhang Yi.

Zhang Yi finally stood up and followed her to the stairwell.

Annie turned her back to him, and only heard him say, "I don't have much, so I'd better move it out."

His voice is still nice, with a slightly hoarse texture, the most charming voice of a man.She used to be intoxicated by his voice, no matter what the occasion, as long as Zhang Yi talked to her, everything seemed to be a little ambiguous.

But today, Annie suppressed the pain in her chest, and turned a deaf ear to his nice voice.She didn't dare to turn around, acting like she didn't want to talk to him at all, in fact, it was just because she didn't dare to face him.

No matter how hard she pretended to be a woman, she was afraid that when she saw him, the armor she had erected so hard would be cracked to pieces, and she was afraid that she would still listen to Zhang Yi's words as sweet words, and even lose her last dignity.

Zhang Yi chased after her and reached out to pull her luggage bag.Annie suddenly became anxious, and snatched them back. At that moment, the luggage bag seemed to be her last straw, and she held them tightly in her arms like some rare treasure.Seeing what Zhang Yi wanted to say, she couldn't bear it any longer, broke out completely, and shouted at him: "You have already had another woman! Only I don't know... I can't live here anymore, not even for a day! "

For her hysteria, all she got in exchange was her red eyes and the silence in his eyes.

Those two poor luggage bags were almost deformed by her, like her only remaining self-esteem, pitiful and pathetic.

Annie sat on her own box, lowered her head and inhaled, but couldn't help it at all, and tears soon burst out.The figure in front of her blurred, the same outline, the same house, vaguely still the same situation as when they moved in together back then.

This man once loved her so much, and he took her hand ecstatically to live in their new home together. This house of more than 90 square meters carried the unresolved love and past between them.

She was about to be unable to bear it any longer, and gradually couldn't hold back her crying. She almost choked up and looked at Zhang Yi and said, "You are everywhere here...I can't stay any longer."

She couldn't see clearly in front of her eyes, and she could barely tell that Zhang Yi was also a little moved, and turned his face to the side and kept looking at home.

He had envisioned countless times in his heart the scenes that might appear today, but seeing Annie's tears, he still couldn't bear it.He gave in countless times, in exchange for a more suffocating life. He was so depressed that he was about to die, and he couldn't hold on any longer.

Zhang Yi tried to say something, but nothing came out. In the end, only one sentence remained: "I'm sorry."

In eight years, all the youth and tears of a woman were exchanged for "I'm sorry".

Anne didn't know what was the use of crying, but at that time, in the empty stairwell, with two suitcases and two travel bags, she had nothing but tears.

She knew from the beginning that the popular actress Ma Lisha was on the same crew as him, but who would have thought that such a glamorous female star would fall in love with the unknown Zhang Yi?
In fact, Zhang Yi is actually the best choice for this kind of woman to clean up her background.He is innocent and tepid, and Ma Lisha is willing to be with a young actor like him, which is the best counterattack to everyone who says she is vain.

Women in the entire entertainment industry are trying to find ways to marry into wealthy families, but Ma Lisha is with a literary actor. What is this?This is true love.

Marisa can take him out of the embarrassing life, give him the chance to be a leading actor, and fulfill his dream, but what about Annie?Except for the eight years of mutual affection, she has no bargaining chips.She completely lost this battle of love because her opponent was too strong.

At this moment, Annie had been away from Zhang Yi for a long time. She was standing on the street with people coming and going, looking at the reflection...a gossip magazine that was about to be torn off and a woman with an expressionless face.

She has not cried for a long time.There were too many tears during the breakup, and her eyes were almost swollen all the time, but everything was of no avail, and in the end even she was tired.After that, she made up her mind to start over. Even if she loses a man, she still has two best friends, Katie and Tina, as well as a job and a dream. Without Zhang Yi, she can go on by herself .

Tina has always encouraged her that since she is still alive, she should live well and live like a queen.

Annie took a deep breath to cheer herself up.She opened the bag and took out the card from the mail, the contents on it were clear at a glance.

It was Zhang Yi's wedding invitation.

Since they had the guts to invite her to participate, she must not be a deserter.

She threw the happy magazine into the trash can, holding this invitation, and finally made up her mind.

Annie is not the first time to fly from Beijing to Shanghai, but it is the first time to attend a wedding.

What's more, she never thought that she would come to witness Zhang Yi's wedding.

The Peace Hotel has a century-old history, facing the Bund, and was once famous as "the first building in the Far East".Today, with carved roofs and marble floors, it still retains the thick colors of a hundred years ago in the bustling and overly noisy urban area.

The building that has been polished by time always looks too quiet. It has always had its own territory and is unwilling to agree with the surrounding environment.

This is really similar to Annie's mood today.

The wedding was about to begin, and she was very punctual and came with the invitation.Everything around was beaming, but she was dressed in black, and her sisters Katie and Tina were also in black.

It was Tina's idea to bury Anne's love.

Wherever the three women in black go, they attract attention, not to mention that the hotel has been newly decorated for the wedding, and holy white can be seen everywhere.

One black and one white, plus a few plain bouquets, even the music playing in the hotel seemed half a beat slow. Annie quickly went up the steps with them and went straight to the banquet hall.The candles placed on the flower stands on both sides swayed slightly, as if only two tears were missing, and everything turned into a mournful funeral.

As they approached the wedding venue, more and more guests were invited, and the three of them were soon stopped at the entrance of the hall.

The people around did not let them go easily.The men are all wearing solemn suits, while the women have obviously just finished their makeup. All of them are models, and they are all unknown second- and third-tier stars, and they wear neat black and white dresses.

Someone lowered his head and fiddled with the flowers on his chest, whispering inadvertently, and everyone's eyes were tightly locked on Annie.

Needless to say, her appearance naturally created new topics.

"She's really here, it's so pitiful." A fashion editor who looked familiar was chatting with his female companion, and almost passed Annie.

"They were a pretty good couple. I heard that they have been together for many years. Oh... this kind of thing..."

Annie took a deep breath and controlled her emotions.She should be thankful that she was dressed in black, which at least calmed her down.

She took out the invitation card she had received and entered the banquet hall. The door just opened. She looked up and saw the bright lights in the hall, and the half-truth and half-fake smiles on everyone's faces, making Annie almost forget what the occasion was. She subconsciously looked for Zhang Yi's figure, but was dazzled by the light, and instantly woke up.

Today is Zhang Yi's wedding.

After a moment of distraction, Annie didn't have time to think about anything else. Katie and Tina behind her had already quarreled with the waiter. The other party insisted on an invitation to enter and sat strictly according to the seat, but Katie and Tina obviously did not receive the invitation .

They were resolute and insisted that they must stay with Annie. Several people argued to no avail in the end.

Katie lost control for some reason today. She stopped talking nonsense and insisted on rushing in. She reached out and took the card in Anne's hand, glanced at it, and asked loudly, "Damn, they even arranged for you at the main table?"

The waiter was also very stubborn, he chased over to stop him, "No one is allowed to enter without an invitation card, I'm sorry, please go out."

"I don't care what nonsense invitations you have, we just want to go together!" Katie stretched out her arms to hold Annie and Tina without looking back, and walked into the hall with her head held high.

The woman became arrogant and unreasonable. They rushed to the main table, and the dispute quickly escalated. The waiter also became anxious and called the security guard.

The cameras around the hall have already started shooting, they are just to record the beautiful pictures of the whole process today, but now it has become the best way to watch the quarrel.

A man sits behind the machine, staring boredly at the screen, while a cameraman next to him is putting the finishing touches on it.Everything was arranged, he had nothing to do but stared at the screen aimlessly, until Anne's face suddenly appeared on the screen.

He stared at her slowly, "This woman looks very familiar."

The assistant came over and glanced at him and said, "Isn't this Annie? She made all of your favorite movies." After finishing speaking, he had a gossipy expression on his face and lowered his voice, "I heard that today's groom originally It's her boyfriend..."

Mark looked at the screen carefully again, and suddenly smiled.This is a wonderful woman, not too beautiful, not too delicate, just a little bit of "not too much", which makes people fascinated.

He always thought so.

The noisy scene didn't last long.A crowd of onlookers began to gather around the main table, and there were more and more people, until someone suddenly stood up and gave way, and the noise stopped abruptly.

The person who gave up his seat was Wang Ziyu, and everyone present knew him.He is well-educated and well-known, from the beginning to the end, he didn't try to persuade them too much, but directly proposed a solution to the problem, and said politely: "This is my seat, let them sit."

"Miss Marisa has orders, you must sit down according to the regulations."

Wang Ziyu's attitude was very kind, and he tried to discuss with the waiter.Katie on the side looked at the people around her and scolded unbearably: "This is a conspiracy! Who the hell wants to come to this kind of dead party?"

All the guests kept smiling. Although they were watching the excitement, they acted according to the routine of talking and laughing. This sentence made everyone froze and looked at each other.

The security guard reached out to pull them, and the conflict escalated again, and it seemed that a full-scale martial arts was about to be staged.Annie, who was squeezed in the middle of the crowd, finally spoke. She stabilized her mind, made herself look less cowardly, and said to Tina and Katie, "Go back."

Katie's fiery temper was completely aroused, she didn't even bother to think about it, and directly refused, "Don't be brave, I won't leave you alone!"

Tina noticed that Katie was not in the right mood today, so she stepped forward and pressed down the fighting hand of the other party, and persuaded: "Okay! Don't shout." Soon, she dragged Katie who was about to go mad. , turned around and looked at Annie again, "Since you are here, send him away yourself."

Tina's meaning is obvious, this is a funeral for love, don't imagine that he will come back.

Annie's face was blank, she really looked like someone who came to a funeral, she wanted to smile indifferently, to reassure the sisters, but she couldn't do it after working hard for a long time, all the skills she had acquired in filming for so many years were all crippled at this moment, she She had no choice but to make her voice sound strong, and she said, "Don't worry, I will never shed tears on him."

That was what the sisters satirized Zhang Yi, if you give flowers to the dead, don't shed tears on him, he will be reluctant to leave.

Tina felt a little relieved when she heard the words, nodded, and quickly left with Katie. The onlookers gradually dispersed after they had nothing to talk about.

Annie turned around, only to find that Wang Ziyu had been standing behind her.He didn't talk much, his face was calm, but he blocked her intentionally or unintentionally, preventing the security guards and the chaotic crowd from rushing over.

After she realized this, she was a little embarrassed, and didn't know what to say, so she could only express her thanks first, and then hurriedly sat down.

Wang Ziyu smiled understandingly, and didn't ask any more questions.

The wedding went on as usual, and soon it was time for the ceremony, and the newcomers entered.No conflict could stop the established process, and everyone's expressions quickly returned to normal, as if the farce just now had never happened.

This is the way of the world, you may think it is hypocritical, but it will tell weak people to laugh when they should laugh, and cry when they should cry. It is also a good thing to think about it.

Annie sat quietly, and now she had no best friend by her side, no one to accompany her, no matter the embarrassment or pain that followed, she had no one to share, and she had to swallow it alone.

When she was gradually emptying out, Zhang Yi suddenly appeared, and she hadn't seen him again since he moved out.

Today, today, he has become the groom, but the person standing on the stage holding his arm...is not Annie.

His bride, Ma Lisha, is in the limelight, and her worth, status, appearance, and figure are all excellent.Now Ma Lisha smiled slightly in front of the crowd of female stars competing for beauty, and immediately overwhelmed the crowd, causing everyone to whisper again.

In the final analysis, Zhang Yi has only achieved the reputation of a literary actor until now. Ma Lisha's marriage to him shocked the entertainment industry, but on this occasion, no one dared to show any doubts.

No matter how many discussions there are, once the protagonists stand under the light, they will always look like a pair of lovers. If the master of ceremonies compliments a few words about the talent and beauty of a man and a woman, they will immediately dazzle people.

Annie finally raised her eyes, forcing herself to take a closer look at Zhang Yi.

He hasn't changed much, he is still the man she loved, but his outline looks a little strange again.

Annie stared at the two people on the stage, and exerted a little force with her hands. She said she would not cry, and she really did.To be honest, she wasn't very sad, but felt that everything was heavy, her heart and body were so heavy that even breathing was difficult.

The people around cheered softly. The more joyful everyone was, the more depressed Annie felt. This feeling kept holding her back and made her unable to move a single bit.

She was sitting at the most central guest banquet, but she seemed to be nailed to the memory of the past.

She saw the man on the stage kissing Marisa as he had kissed her in the past, even... more intimately.

When they were in college, the school dormitory was always hot and humid.

The calendar on the wall was torn in half, making people forget what year it was, but Adu on the radio was still singing "He must love you very much..."

At that time, they did not have the enviable spotlights, media and cameras. All they had was a narrow window.

Zhang Yi's back was facing the window, the sun shone wantonly on his back, it was obviously very hot, but he didn't move...Suddenly, he turned over and approached Annie, hugged her without hesitation, stopped for a while and suddenly said: " Move out and live."

This is not a question, because Zhang Yi's tone is very sure.

At that time, Annie was only wearing a simple white vest, her hair was slightly messed up, and she still looked green.She fanned the wind, froze, and looked up at him.

Zhang Yi continued: "We are together."

The corners of Annie's words turned red when she heard these four words, and the sudden emotion hit her chest directly.She didn't know what kind of emotion it was at the time, but after the two got together, she finally understood that this was the happiness derived from love.

She didn't remember what else she said, she just remembered that her hand held Zhang Yi tightly, and the two of them looked at each other silently for a long time.

The hot weather gradually burned them all up, Zhang Yi tentatively bullied him, and Annie felt that even a simple vest was in the way.She was still young and inexperienced, she was almost intoxicated by Zhang Yi's kiss, and wished to merge with him, she didn't hesitate at all, except for being shy, she had no complaints or regrets.

They have gone through such a poor and simple life hand in hand, what is there to be dissatisfied with?As long as she can be with Zhang Yi, she has all the belief in love.

At that time, Annie loved Zhang Yi and everything they had in the future. She could face poverty, difficulties, and difficulties... Because of him, she was willing to sink to the end.

The snow-white flowers were illuminated by the shadow of the lamp, giving off an ambiguous golden color. The pastor on the stage spoke softly, shattering Annie's memories.

"Today, under the witness of all the guests, you will marry Marisa as your legal wife. From today on, whether in good times or bad, rich or poor, healthy or sick, happy or sad, you are willing to love her forever and cherish her She, be loyal to her, and accompany her forever?"

Regardless of the real drama or fake drama, the lines are always moving.As soon as this oath was asked, some female guests couldn't hold back immediately, and burst into tears on the spot.

Annie continued to listen dumbly, she didn't dare to look at Zhang Yi's expression, and wanted to look away, but in the end she forced herself to sit upright and face each other calmly.

She saw his side face and heard him answer, "I am willing."

This sentence echoed so repeatedly that she could no longer hear what followed.These words that were supposed to be said to Annie have now changed the protagonist, and she has become an outsider.

This reality chilled her, but she couldn't even cry.

How gentle Zhang Yi used to be, coaxing her, stroking her back, and accompanying her to sleep peacefully.They had been together since they were in school, until she was 30, so many days and nights, and finally he gave his wedding vows to another person.

From the day she moved out, Anne told herself that there would be no one in the room when she came home at night, she could no longer be a mistletoe, she could not live by clinging to others, and from now on, everything would be on her own.

Up to now, she thought that she could learn to be a queen, but found that it was not enough, she didn't work hard enough, because when she saw Zhang Yi make an oath to others, all her strength was completely defeated.

She pressed her chest, but she couldn't breathe no matter what. She really never thought that one day she would witness Zhang Yi's wedding with someone else.This feeling was like someone was squeezing her heart.

She was really flustered, the invitation beside her hand was crumpled, it was horrible.Wang Ziyu at the same table seemed to notice her strangeness and kept looking at her.She had no choice but to turn her face to the side, forcing herself to calm down.

At this moment, the microphone on the stage has been handed over to today's bride Ma Lisha. She is dressed in a gorgeous white gauze that stretches the floor, and she stands proudly and beautifully.She looked at the audience and smiled just right, "Today is my wedding, and I would like to thank one person here. Without her, I would not have such a good man. So... I feel that my bouquet of flowers, Only she is qualified to accept it."

The applause suddenly sounded, and the answer was obvious.

Annie raised her head little by little, but Marisa didn't give her time to react, she had already raised her hand amidst the cheers and threw the bouquet.

It was just a bouquet of flowers, but after being hugged by Annie, there were countless discussions all around again.

Annie couldn't dodge in time, and there was no room to refuse. She was soon surrounded by the eyes of everyone in the audience, and the bouquet in her hand pierced her heart like a thorn.

Marisa's behavior was tantamount to giving Anne a slap in the face in front of everyone.

As Tina warned her, it is not so easy to become a queen.

However, Ma Lisha on the stage refused to let it go. In order to show her sincerity, she continued to speak kindly, inviting Annie to stay in Shanghai and participate in her upcoming new play, a film starring both her and Zhang Yi. Movie.

Annie's mind was in a mess, and she kept telling herself not to show weakness, "I... I'll go back and check the next schedule."

Ma Lisha's smile almost turned into a sarcasm, "Schedule? How long has it been since you filmed?" After a pause, she couldn't help but said, "Are you scared? With your little fresh style, there is What's scary? Are you afraid of me, or Zhang Yi?"

Everyone's eyes made Annie's back glow, and the laughter around her became more and more obvious, and Zhang Yi's name almost became a knife, cutting off her last defense.

She didn't know how to answer, and instinctively raised her head to look at the man on the stage, but Zhang Yi suddenly stood in front of Ma Lisha, not knowing whether it was intentional or not.

With one action, he completely sentenced Annie to death.

She suddenly felt that she was ridiculous, and her whole body felt relaxed. Her heart, which had been torn apart all day, finally sank to the bottom, and she blurted out, "Okay, I'll shoot."

Zhang Yi only glanced at her, and did not speak from the beginning to the end.

Annie took a deep breath, held back the wetness in the corners of her eyes with the last of her strength, and almost fell back on the chair without strength.It wasn't until this moment that she felt that someone behind her was always supporting her back so that she wouldn't fall in embarrassment.

She didn't look back, but she knew it must be Wang Ziyu.

In the banquet hall, cups of wine were mixed, the bride was full of ambition, and soon the sound of laughter and clinking glasses extinguished everything.

Outside the hall, Katie, who failed to break in to accompany Annie, was still brooding.

She waited for a long time and did not leave, staring at the banquet hall and still cursing, Tina looked around and reminded her, "Okay, they are all out, enough is enough."

On the contrary, Katie felt that Tina was too sensible, "We are all sisters, we can't leave her alone!"

Tina looked at her, shook her head and said, "The injury is on Annie, even if you are with me, she still can't heal. She has to rely on herself to think about it." As she spoke, she saw Katie holding the bag subconsciously, and asked She, "By the way, don't you have a secret date? Don't you go?"

As soon as these words came out, Katie looked like a cat whose tail had been trampled on. She quickly lowered her head to look for her phone, glanced at it, and took it back angrily.

The two walked out, and the question in Tina's eyes was clearly still there, so Katie had no choice but to explain to her: "I don't know where he is. I told him yesterday that I'm coming to Shanghai to attend a wedding, and he said that today he will Contact me, but so far there is no news."

Tina laughed suddenly, but her expression was extremely cold. Her voice was unabashed, like a basin of cold water, pouring towards Katie, "A man who disappears occasionally will disappear forever one day. Every month to him When you disappear, you become extremely irritable and hysterical."

She spread her hands to show Katie the evidence. When they confronted the waiter just now, Katie kept losing control to vent her anger, and Tina's hand was pinched with red marks.

Katie couldn't hold back her face, and refuted her: "It's not my aunt, what are the days of each month..."

"It hurts more than my aunt, right? You got angry with the waiter in the hotel just now, and you looked like a queen. Why did you become a maid when you got to him? How many years have you been with him? Six years, please Hourly workers haven’t worked so long, have they?”

Katie was silent for a while, then said, "Forget it, I'll go directly to the law firm to find him."

Tina really hated iron and steel, and finally persuaded her: "Others are men who spoil women, but you are good, you spoiled him!"

Katie didn't stop walking, stopped the car and left, before leaving, she said, "I'm happy."

Looking at the disappearing back of the car, Tina couldn't help but sigh.She can understand Katie's persistence in love, but that is not the right person, no matter how much she pays, it may be nothing.

The night scene of the Bund, full of feasting and feasting, was filled with crowds, and she was the only one walking alone.

She didn't know what the situation in the banquet hall was like now, and she didn't know if Katie could find someone in a hurry to find someone. She had long been used to not being upset about these men-related matters.

Thinking about it this way, age is also an advantage. After all, she is older than them, has more experience, and suffers earlier, so many things can be taken lightly.

An old woman, except for the uneven wrinkles, the rest, even the impulsiveness and anger have been smoothed away by the years.

Tina thought to herself as she walked, when was the last time she shed tears?It was probably the day when I was lying in the dental department, trembling alone in front of the rhinestones.

Suddenly there was a low voice behind him, as if someone was talking on a cell phone.

Tina continued to walk a few steps forward, and she realized that she had sensed that someone had been following him since she left the banquet hall just now, but she didn't pay attention to it.Although she was over forty, she knew she was an attractive woman.She turned around with a faint smile, her charming expression froze suddenly.

The person on the opposite side had already put away his mobile phone. He was a middle-aged man in ordinary clothes. He looked at her in a well-behaved manner, even a little nervous.

Tina thought it was funny, he was still like this, as always, no matter what he did good or wrong, he was always cowardly and honest.

She thought she was generous enough, and wanted to say "Jiawei, long time no see", but in the end she found that she couldn't speak at all, her throat seemed to be blocked.

The other party walked towards her hesitantly, seemed to be a little excited suddenly, and called her name softly.

After so long, she still couldn't stand hearing Jiawei calling her name again.

Tina felt that the conclusion she just made was too early. Time smoothed out the past, but failed to erase the memory.

This night became a catastrophe for the three of them, the wedding turned into a funeral, a date that disappeared, a reunion that could never be seen again...

The lights at the intersection finally turned red and then green, and Tina quickly came to her senses. She had lived for more than 40 years, but suddenly she couldn't survive the 40 seconds of the red light. She couldn't stand anymore, turned around and crossed the road quickly.

For three to five minutes, since there is enough material to talk about, there are always people who like to add oil and vinegar.

At the end of the wedding in the banquet hall, Zhang Yi took Ma Lisha's hand, and the petals and colored paper fell down one after another.In the audience, there was nowhere to put the bouquet in Annie's hands, and a supermodel sat behind her, talking about her and Zhang Yi's past love history, and she didn't shy away from letting her hear it.

Seeing Anne's ugly face, the other party became more interested.

Surrounding cameras faithfully recorded the scene.

In the work area, the cameraman captured the whole process, secretly lit a cigarette, and turned around to talk to his colleagues, "The bitch is hypocritical, why is she here?"

The man behind the screen was staring at Annie's face. Although he was also smiling, what he said was not so pleasant, "The wedding of my ex is the funeral of my love. Since she wants to pretend to be generous, she deserves to be humiliated."

As soon as Mark finished saying this, he noticed that the corners of the woman's eyes in the monitor were shining brightly, as if the last tear could no longer be borne and was about to fall.

He didn't think Annie was suitable for this lost look, she shouldn't have this expression.He really can't figure it out, she has lived to be in her 30s, why her eyes still have no sense of direction?She is like a stumbling toddler, she is sad when others blame her, and she is really ready to do what others ask her to do.

He knew that what the outside world said was very important to Annie. After she broke up with her, she lost her head. She really regarded herself as a miserable heroine. She didn't know what she wanted, so it didn't matter what she did, and she didn't know how to face the problem. , I just remembered that everyone was watching, so I couldn't run away, but the strength of this disguise was seen through at a glance, which made her even more miserable.

Mark quickly stood up from behind the screen. The newcomer ceremony on the stage had been completed. The guests applauded enthusiastically, and the audience erupted.

The light changes, and the time between light and dark is only a few seconds.

The people at the main table also became lively. Wang Ziyu got up to congratulate the new couple. He turned his head and looked at Anne's seat. In just a short while, she suddenly disappeared, leaving only a small solitary shawl on the seat.
