Chapter 174: Busy supporting the family in the foreign land
As Wu Ziyang's good friend, Lu Pingsheng naturally couldn't just sit back and watch.
Together with Durand, he evacuated the guests and reminded them that there would be a banquet at the Bund Hotel in the afternoon and a party in the evening.
The guests all agreed with a smile, but no one knew whether they would go or not.
Wei Miao also felt unhappy.
She was shocked that someone she knew died in such a tragic way in front of her.
What I thought of in my mind were the three children left behind by Lin Xiu'e, who have lost their mother.
It would be better for a man like Wang Sanqiang not to have a new wife and children. If he does, the children's situation will be even more difficult.
But then, Wei Miao felt a sharp pain in his dantian, and a fishy and sweet smell rose in his mouth.
Her karma has come.
Lin Zi'e went to the Wei family to find her, and she found Wu Ziyang. This was the cause of the incident. She caused it and she reaped the consequences.
Fortunately, there were many unexpected events in the process, and she only had to endure a few of them.
At the same time, it also reminds her that although she is a human in this world, everything that changes because of her will eventually backfire on herself.
After figuring this out, Wei Miao felt relieved. His aching dantian felt as if it had been soaked in warm water, and a warm current spread throughout his body. The fishy and sweet taste in his mouth disappeared, and his whole body felt satisfied, as if he had swallowed a box of gold bars.
Her mind was also clearer. The mechanical drawings and numerical formulas that she had only understood theoretically in the past now appeared in her mind like models.
Even the words that the two courtiers had just spoken, she felt that she understood most of it without Lu Pingsheng's help.
Wei Miao murmured in his heart, could this be the legendary blessing in disguise?
On the stage, Li Xiaoya, who had been nestling in Wu Ziyang's arms and remained silent, became distorted, especially her eyes, which used to be gentle and soft, now were almost filled with anger and hatred.
The moment Wu Ziyang looked over, she changed her expression and looked frightened.
The large pool of blood on the ground in front of her made Xu Manhua stunned for a moment, then she quickly adjusted her mentality and walked slowly forward.
Wu Ziyang looked at her almost with gritted teeth, "Xu Manhua, are you satisfied?"
Xu Manhua looked at the peach blossom eyes that always looked at her affectionately, but were now staring at her with disgust and hatred. Surprisingly, she did not feel as heartbroken as before.
"Brother Ziyang, what does this have to do with me? It was me who asked you to attend the banquet. It was me who asked you to bring a female companion without an invitation? It was me who asked you to kill someone's brother?"
Every word he asked left Wu Ziyang speechless.
The reason he was able to reconcile with Wang Sanqiang later was because Lin Zijian died.
The second is what Lu Pingsheng said, if you didn't bring Miss Li there wouldn't be any trouble, or if you brought the invitation there would be no problem too?
Seeing him distracted, Xu Manhua glanced at Li Xiaoya who was huddled beside Wu Ziyang with her head down, and said with a faint smile:
"Brother Ziyang, do you think this is God's punishment for those who don't keep their promises?"
Wu Ziyang knew that she was talking about the time when he delivered cholera medicine and promised her a divorce in order to save Li Xiaoya.
Now the two of them are holding a grand wedding, which is indeed a violation of their vows.
When Xu Manhua saw the two of them, she did not feel the pleasure she had imagined, but instead lost interest.
But the necessary process must be completed, otherwise she will be trapped in this man's whim for the rest of her life.
Lu Pingsheng was right, the world is so big and there are many things worth fighting for.
Being obsessed with petty love and affection is the most shallow thing.
But since she was born into a life of luxury and smooth sailing, Wu Ziyang was a calamity in her life, strangling her yearning for the world in her most beautiful years.
If she doesn't get over this hurdle on her own, she will have no future.
"Brother Ziyang, Miss Li, I am here today just to end things. From now on, I will never pester you again..."
After saying this, she handed the blood-red box in her hand to Wu Ziyang and smiled:
"This is a gift I carefully prepared for you. After you accept it, I will leave immediately and will never bother you again in this life."
"really?"
Li Xiaoya raised her head and stared at Xu Manhua, with disbelief and a bit of anxiety in her eyes.
Wu Ziyang embraced the excited Li Xiaoya and said distressedly:
"Xiaoya, you're not feeling well, don't get excited."
Xu Manhua's lips curled up in a sarcastic arc, and the hesitation in her heart disappeared without a trace.
She handed the box in front of Wu Ziyang and said, "Open it and we'll be even."
Wu Ziyang quietly looked at the woman in front of him. The innocent girl in the past was now heavily made up with a playful look in her eyes.
"Okay!" he said hoarsely.
Wu Ziyang stretched out his hand wearing the ring and slowly opened the small red box.
After seeing clearly what was inside, his expression suddenly changed. He suddenly covered his chest with his hands and blood flowed from the corners of his mouth.
Li Xiaoya, who was next to her, staggered when he led her, and her eyes fell on the red box.
"what!"
Li Xiaoya screamed and her body trembled.
Xu Manhua admired the expressions of the two for a while, then felt bored and said quietly:
"Brother Ziyang, what are you afraid of? These are all your children. Look, they are asking, Dad, why don't you want us..."
She said halfway, looking at the trembling Li Xiaoya, and said viciously:
"Your child was originally going to be thrown away with the hospital's trash. Even though she was just a tiny ball of flesh, I still picked her up from the trash can and soaked her in formalin water. You and all of them are related by blood. It looks so nice to put them together!"
Li Xiaoya looked at the transparent sealed jar in the red lacquer box and yelled at Xu Manhua:
"Crazy, you crazy!"
Xu Manhua leisurely watched Wu Ziyang's dejected look and Li Xiaoya's hysteria for a while, then turned and left.
Her fiery red dress disappeared at the tall entrance of the hall, the hem of her skirt blown up and down by the autumn wind outside.
When Lu Pingsheng came back from sending someone off, he passed by Xu Manhua. She said to Lu Pingsheng in a cold tone:
"I've taken on the mission you mentioned last time."
Lu Pingsheng watched her go away, not knowing whether he was happy or disappointed.
Turning around, he saw Li Xiaoya fainted. Wu Ziyang hugged her and shouted "Doctor!"
The red lacquer box fell to the floor when he reached out to hug Li Xiaoya. A strong smell of disinfectant spread out, and two small lumps of flesh and blood merged with the bloodstains left by Lin Zi'e.
In the car, Wei Miao and Lu Pingsheng didn't speak.
It was supposed to be a happy wedding, but it turned out like this. Even if they didn't like Li Xiaoya anymore, neither of them could be happy.
"Are we still going to the restaurant?" Wei Miao asked.
Lu Pingsheng said: "Zi Yang is deeply obsessed with Li Xiaoya. From what I know, he will not cancel the subsequent arrangements."
For the first time, Wei Miao had no appetite. "Brother Lu, can love be so destructive?"
Lu Pingsheng held the steering wheel and looked at the crowd passing by in front of him.
"Love is made up of intimacy, passion and commitment, none of which can be missing. Love is separated, desire is not obtained, hatred is met, hatred is met..."
Wei Miao felt drowsy after listening to this. She felt that love was very energy-consuming and she had to stay away from it.
Seeing the little girl yawning with her hands covering her mouth, Lu Pingsheng felt a little relieved and teased her:
"No matter how much I tell you, you won't understand. When you grow up and meet the girl you love, you will know why Brother Wu is like this."
Wei Miao suddenly woke up, with a look of horror on his face, "No, no, I only like gold. If that girl is a gold monster, maybe I can be moved for a moment."
Lu Pingsheng held the steering wheel and laughed, and the depression in his heart dissipated.
Even the road ahead, which was congested due to the parade, seemed a little more pleasing to the eye.
