Chapter 58 A-3

"Sang Li?" A hesitant voice suddenly came from behind, interrupting Sang Li's thoughts. She turned her head and saw a young woman's figure in a trance through the sunlight, so strange and yet so familiar, she choked her breath instantly! "It's really you?" The woman also seemed to be taken aback, and she approached a little closer, the expression on her face changed drastically, and within a few seconds, she had changed hundreds of times. That long-lost smile with hatred, that long-lost look with despair, brought back to reality bit by bit from memory! "Tian Miao?" Sang Li finally struggled to say the name.

Is the woman in front of me Tian Miao? The last time I saw her was six years ago. Standing in the scent of hibiscus in the flower tree, she gritted her teeth and said: Sang Li, do you know that you are called "a man who is as good as he can be"? And the last time I heard her voice was three years ago, when she was lying in the hospital in despair, she called Xiang Ning's mobile phone and screamed on the phone: Sang Li, why are you still alive? ! ... However, the woman in front of me, with exquisite makeup, shows the superiority and vigor of a high-level white-collar worker in her gestures, is she still that Tian Miao?Or, he is no longer the old Sang Li?

"I really didn't expect to see you again." Tian Miao's voice was still cold. Sang Li smiled wryly, in the past, he would have been tit for tat, but now, he just wants to walk away. "Why are you here?" Sang Li looked up at Tian Miao and asked quietly. "I work in Shen Jie's company," Tian Miao looked at her with a sneer, "Perhaps, you still remember who Shen Jie is?" Sang Li smiled wryly: "I see." "Aren't you surprised how I know about you and Shen Jie?" Tian Miao raised her eyebrows. "Didn't you know it back then?" Sang Li looked into Tian Miao's eyes, "Because of this incident, you scolded me bloody."

"No, you're wrong," Tian Miao snorted, "At that time we only knew that you abandoned Xiang Ning for a rich man, but I didn't know that man was Shen Jie." "Oh." Sang Li nodded perfunctorily, but he really wanted to leave quickly.It's not speculative, just half a sentence - after so many years, the two of them are still incompatible. But who can be blamed, everything has its retribution, even if Tian Miao made mistakes, they did not have as many sins as her Sang Li. "I found the answer in Liyuan," Tian Miao suddenly smiled provocatively, "Do you want to go with me to Liyuan?"

Leaving the garden? Sang Li suddenly felt something swell in his chest, which gradually swelled to the point of blocking his breathing. "Xiao Li, do you still remember the 'Lingering Garden' in Suzhou? It really matches your name..." "I want to build a hotel in the future, the name is 'Li Yuan'..." "Even though life is full of parting, as long as we come to Liyuan, we can still meet again. Because parting is for meeting again..." "Liyuan mansion, the old dream in the south of the Yangtze River, meet again..." Time, please stop, give me some time, and let me ask my heart: Do you want to read the answers to those mysteries that you want to solve even in your dreams?

It wasn't until she got into Tian Miao's car that Sang Li realized that in fact, he could never let go of those unknown puzzles. She sighed softly, looked at the fast receding trees outside the window, thought for a while before asking, "Why are you here?" Tian Miao replied blankly while driving, "I have business." Really good and concise answer... Sang Li sighed, concentrated on riding the car, and stopped talking. Tian Miao's car is a Peugeot 307, a very delicate and gentle car, which seems to be very suitable for such a young female white-collar driver. The acceleration is not fast, but it is still smooth.From the viaduct directly on the expressway around the city, in the suburbs 15 kilometers away from the urban area, the moment the car stopped, Sang Li remembered being afraid: Why did he agree to come to "Liyuan" in a flash?

Subconsciously, he wanted to take out his phone and send a text message to Ma Yu, but the phone was out of battery? ! Looking up, I saw Tian Miao tilting her head and looking at herself, with a mocking smile on her lips: "Scared?" But before Sang Li could speak, she had already picked up her bag and got out of the car. The moment she closed the car door, she said: "Don't worry, Zhongyue won't do anything illegal." Sang Li looked at the phone in his hand with a wry smile, finally put it in his bag, and followed Tian Miao out of the car. Until he could clearly see the outer wall of "Li Garden" in front of him, Sang Li had to admit: Shen Jie has always been a businessman with a literary temperament.

The outer wall of the garden is even more beautiful than the posters, and the lush trees inside can be vaguely seen, with the blue tile roof, hiding in the depths of the garden.The cobbled road leading to the door is simple and lovely against the backdrop of a row of red lanterns. On the lintel, there is a huge plaque engraved with large characters in official script: Li Yuan. Tian Miao didn't talk too much, and after greeting the receptionist at the concierge, she walked briskly all the way inside—clearly, apart from solving the mystery, she had no intention of taking Sangli for sightseeing.

Sang Li tried hard to keep up with Tian Miao's pace, as if he wanted to overcome the obstacles caused by his inconvenient legs.How strange: when she walks through the weeping willows and rockery, she will think that she has traveled through time and space, and has come to an inexplicable world that she has never seen or experienced! Finally, after crossing a long corridor, Tian Miao stopped in front of a house by the lotus pond.She turned her head to look at Sang Li, suddenly there were a lot of inexplicable emotions in her eyes, Sang Li was taken aback, but also stopped. Tian Miao turned around, paused for a while, gently pushed open the door in front of her, walked in across the threshold, and then reached out to turn on the light in the room.

Immediately, the room became extremely bright, and the furniture with the Ming and Qing dynasties all shone brightly! Sang Li stood at the door, raised his head, and stopped breathing for an instant! ——In the middle of the main room, unexpectedly, is a portrait of yourself? ! Sophisticated and expressive brushstrokes outline the outlines of the characters in the painting, and the light colors are slightly blurred, showing the woman's light pink cheeks, light gray horseshoe-sleeved blouse, and moon-white long skirt, in the background of a large magnolia , with a bright smile, the country is overwhelmed!

As if something suddenly took all the strength out of Sang Li's body, she looked at the painting in a daze, looking at herself in the painting—that dress was a gift from Shen Jie for her twenty-fourth year of birth, and it was expensive , but value for money.When I put it on for the first time, in the courtyard of Shen's family in the southern mountain area of ​​G City, a large field of magnolias bloomed, and the fragrance was overflowing.Shen Jie saw her in a daze, and after a long time stared at her in the flowers and said, "I only know now what is meant by 'Looking back and smiling at Bai Meisheng'." That day, he took this picture of her with his mobile phone and carried it with him all the time.Later one day he asked her while admiring the photos: "Sang Li, if one day you are not beautiful, can you accept it?" Of course not——she answered him in her heart at that time, but there was no emotion on her face, she was just perfunctory: "You can dump me at that time, anyway, I can't afford you if you are a wealthy family." Shen Jie was slightly annoyed: "I thought you would rely on me." "Absolutely not," she answered firmly, "you can rest assured that I will return your investment, but I will stay away as soon as you give an order. Just like you are a businessman, so you have to make ends meet, I As an actor, I will step down after the play is over, this is also my professional ethics." Shen Jie's expression was a bit gray that day, but he didn't say anything, he still took her hand and went out, rushed to the big banquet hall to greet her and see her off.At that time, how could she have imagined that he would really build Li Garden, and there would be such a painting? After an unknown amount of time, Sang Li looked away from the frame, only to see the shockingly familiar furnishings in this room! Armchairs with Ruyi pattern, bookcases with pin characters blocking the river, screens with Jingzhu pattern... And the moon-shaped trellis bed is hung with lotus-colored spun gauze, when the wind blows, it looks like a soft cloud! Sang Li fell down and sat on the edge of the bed, his eyes were blank, as if he had lost his soul. In the silence, she heard Tian Miao's voice, stiff and stern: "Sang Li, are you a heartless woman? You are so cruel, leaving Xiang Ning is not enough, you have to leave Shen Jie! How can you be so cruel?" Hurt everyone who loves you? Sang Li, I curse that you will never meet someone who loves you again! Even if you do, there will be no happy ending! I curse you that you will never be happy in this life!" The sound of cursing, like a cruel and indifferent sentence, made Sang Li's heart sink to the bottom quickly, as if falling into a thousand-year-old ice cellar! After a long while, she looked up at Tian Miao with a wry smile: "Tian Miao, you don't know, it was Shen Jie who said it was a deal back then." Tian Miao smiled sadly: "Sang Li, are you consoling yourself? Do you have eyes? If it was a deal, he would hang your portrait in every 'Li Garden'? The room with your portrait is dressed exactly the same? He will have affairs with so many women, but he only comes to sleep in the room with your portrait every night? Sang Li, don’t lie to yourself, you are born to be a scourge. Ning, I want to kill Shen Jie!" Accompanied by these accusations, Sang Li's heart suddenly felt a sharp pain. She closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and then asked Tian Miao: "Is it fate?" "What?" Tian Miao didn't understand. "It's fate, we sisters will always fall in love with the same man," Sang Li smiled wryly, "God destined us to become a family, torture each other, and spend our whole lives." "You're talking nonsense," Tian Miao blushed and glared at Sang Li, "Shen is always my boss!" "This is the first time you called him 'Mr. Shen' today," Sang Li looked at Tian Miao, "and it's far less emotional than when you called him 'Shen Jie'." "You—" Tian Miao choked. "Does he know?" Sang Li smiled palely, "Does he know that you are my sister?" "How can I be the younger sister of someone like you," Tian Miao sneered, "I have no blood relationship with you!" "That's right," Sang Li sighed wearily, turned and walked towards the door, "Let's go, I don't like spending the night in hotels." "For you, this is just a hotel?" Tian Miao stared at Sang Li's back with wide eyes. Sang Li stopped at the door without looking back, but replied in a calm tone: "Tian Miao, I can only tell you that if you want to say 'disaster', Shen Jie and I will share 50/50. If you don't believe me, you can ask him , Did he say we were just a deal back then. He wanted a young and beautiful woman to accompany him and warm his bed, and I wanted him to help me become the most radiant soprano singer, which is the content of the transaction." She didn't look at Tian Miao behind her, but just looked at the lotus in front of her, and said quietly: "But later, I didn't want to be a singer, and I was seriously injured and became unattractive. I left him to fulfill him, isn't it? Isn't it right?" In her voice, gradually, there was bitterness and sadness that could not be ignored. Tian Miao was stunned. At this time, a wind blows over, bringing a fresh lotus fragrance. Two equally young women just stood quietly in front of the lotus pond in the deepest part of "Li Garden". Footsteps. Unstoppable, the memory went back to eight years ago. Sang Li thought, in fact, the first time I went to Shanghai with Shen Jie, I should have known that my destiny had quietly changed course—at that time, we were too young to refuse the temptation of this bustling world, so we could only helplessly, watching the young man The pure love of time gradually becomes mottled...
