Endless Fall

   Chapter 201 Doubt this love

   "Aunt Lian." As soon as Tang Manxi returned to the living room, she found that the atmosphere was not right: "What happened?"

   "It's okay, have you finished shopping?"

   "Well." She leaned on Zhang Wanlian affectionately: "Brother Quan said he would take me to the movies tomorrow."

   She was filled with a sweet tone, like a cluster of irresistible flames, burning red Su Tian's eyes.

   "Which one do you want to see?" She took a deep breath and took out her phone from the new LV: "I'll book the tickets."

   "I will listen to Brother Quan's arrangement."

   "He rarely watches movies and doesn't pick."

   "It's okay." Tang Manxi heard what she wanted to express, and was not to be outdone: "I'll wait for him to come down and pick him up alone."

  Su Tian could not wait to slap her twice.

  Because of Zhang Wanlian's presence, she had to swallow her breath and face her with a gentle and pleasant smile.

   Twenty minutes later, the father and son upstairs finished chatting.

  Gu Quan went downstairs exhausted physically and mentally. He didn't even want to say hello, so he led Su Tian out.

   The back he left made Tang Manxi panic.

   She subconsciously ran to the yard, stretched out her hand to block Gu Quan, and prevented him from going any further: "Brother Quan, where are you going?"

"how?"

   "I haven't picked a movie with you yet."

   Gu Quan's gentleness no longer exists: "Sorry." He bypassed the other party and said bluntly: "I have a girlfriend and can't accompany you."

   His very different attitude says it all.

  Tang Manxi guessed one or two from his transformation, in order to leave space for him, he was not in a hurry to force him.

   She took a half step back: "Then be careful on the road."

  Gu Quan did not respond.

   He sat in the driver's seat and drove out of the villa area with a calm face, eager to leave the depressing environment.

   "Aquan." Su Tian asked cautiously, "Did your uncle ask you to be engaged to her?"

"Um."

"What do you think?"

   "Impossible." Gu Quan lit a cigarette while waiting for the traffic light: "I take her as my sister."

   He glanced at the trees blown by the cold wind, and what Gu Chengyi said came to his mind.

  —"I'll give you two months. If you can't handle her relationship well, the position of deputy manager will be replaced."

  —"I didn't make you have to marry Man Xi. You can mention something suitable, but she can't."

  —"I have analyzed the pros and cons for you. If you destroy your future for a woman, I have nothing to say."

   "Didn't you get along with your uncle?" The voice coming from his ear pulled back his wandering thoughts.

   is more than not negotiating.

  Gu Quan no longer recalled how Gu Chengyi gave the ultimatum and stepped on the accelerator when the green light came on.

   He exhaled a puff of smoke: "No hurry."

  Su Tian couldn't be in a hurry.

   She can't see the future, and she doesn't know how long this marriage will drag on. It is inevitable that she will be shaken.

   "Aquan." She looked at his side face: "If they use the company to force you to separate from me, what are you going to do?"

"Won't."

   "I said if."

  Gu Quan doesn't know.

   Obviously he used to be very firm, but after getting along for a while, he became more and more suspicious.

   Doubt his heart, doubt this love.

   "No ifs." He took a deep breath, unwilling to be troubled by inexplicable emotions: "Don't think about it, I will handle it."

   "Hmm." Su Tian didn't ask any more questions.

   She leaned on the back of the seat, listened to the soothing music and looked out the window, silently planning the future.

   They had different thoughts, but they were surrounded by the same restlessness, and they didn't speak for a while.

  *

   The departure of the 'fiancé' made Tang Manxi not in the mood to chat with the Gu family and his wife again, so she just found an excuse to leave.

  She and Tang Ni got into Gu's car and were taken by the driver to a high-end residential building located in the first ring.

   "Press the elevator." With no acquaintance by her side, she showed her nature and ordered Tang Ni like a servant.

  Tang Ni silently pressed fifteen.

   She stared at the number of floors that kept rising, and after that ding, she followed Tang Manxi's footsteps and entered a home that did not belong to her.

   "The shoes are neatly arranged." Tang Manxi took off a pair of high heels and threw it in front of the shoe cabinet at will.

   She leaned on the soft sofa, slowly lit a lady's cigarette, and asked again: "Tang Ni, can you speak?"

"Um."

   "I don't want to hear 'um'."

  Tang Ni put out her shoes and was about to go to the second bedroom. As soon as she turned around, a throw pillow hit the back of her head.

  She clenched her fists: "What do you want?"

   "Come here!" Tang Manxi was suddenly irritable, and her too high-pitched voice almost penetrated the ceiling.

   She pointed to the tip of Tang Ni's nose and counted to three, and when she saw her move, she smiled and said, "Is it time for your hearing aid to be changed?"

"no."

   "Then why can't you hear?"

   "I can hear." Tang Ni met her gaze, there was no fear in her eyes, only numbness remained.

   She and Tom Manxi are half-sisters.

   To be more precise, she is the child of Father Tang who cheated in marriage and gave birth to the third child.

   Her mother died young, and Tang’s father felt ashamed in his later years, and brought her over from her grandmother’s house when she was eighteen years old.

   At first, she was glad to have the long-awaited fatherly love, but after a long time, she realized that Father Tang could not give her the company she wanted, let alone fill the missing piece of her childhood.

   Even, let her face the humiliation she has never suffered in the past 18 years, as well as countless grievances.

   His kind and generous wife and daughter would treat her like a dog when he was on a business trip, and torture her in a variety of strange ways, even beatings and scolding became commonplace.

   She paid all the debts for her mother, and she endured it for four years. She never thought of fighting back or complaining once.

but now…

   She doesn't seem to be going any further.

   "I didn't ask you to come here to see you in a daze!" Tang Manxi kicked her knee, and her face gradually became hideous.

   Her strength was not too heavy, but Tang Ni still took a few steps back and pulled away from her.

   "Is it alright to say something directly?" Accompanying her to Gu's house was tired enough to act, she just wanted to rest.

   "Bring the ashtray here."

"Then?"

   "Mopp the floor again, and clean the doors and windows." Tang Manxi looked around: "I want to eat lobster when I go out to buy vegetables after cleaning."

  Tang Ni turned around and went back to the second bedroom.

   She locked the door, and let Tang Manxi, who had repeated episodes of madness, kick the door with both hands and feet.

   "Tang Ni, who told you to lock the door?"

   "Get out, get out for me!"

   "I count to three, if you don't open the door, don't even think about eating tonight, let alone getting a penny!"

  “…”

   After ten minutes, the scolding stopped.

  Tang Ni opened the phone screen, checked the balance of the bank card, and found that it was less than 30,000, and sighed silently.

   She clicked on the Wechat of Director Boyu, first said New Year's greetings to him, and then asked about the accommodation: [Can I move into the dormitory after the year? ]

[Can. ] The supervisor gave a reply, and asked another question out of concern: [Are you in trouble? ]

[No. ]

  [Then see you in a year. ]

  [Ok, the penguin bows.jpg] After Tang Ni wrote this line, she slept with her eyes closed while wrapped in a quilt.
