no hate

Chapter 45

On September 1933, 9, the Yushan Mansion was full of guests, and celebrities from all walks of life in Chongqing gathered here to celebrate the 12th birthday of Gao Jianqin, the commander of the garrison area, and toast to the winning streak of the Kuomintang in the recent siege campaign. Yushan Mansion The inside and outside are guarded by the army, the guests come in and out with invitation cards, the rich and the young compete with each other, and there are constant laughter and tricks during the banquet.

Opposite the Yushan Mansion is the Shanghai office in Chongqing. It usually only receives office during the day and closes it at night. The careless security guard simply patrolled up and down with a flashlight, and finally handed over the job of guarding the gate to the full-time guard after work. Army, no one expected that there was a well-equipped assassination team that had sneaked in as early as two days ago, preparing to carry out the first-level mission tonight, and had arranged a concealed escape exit in advance.

According to the usual practice, Xizibai was going to open her voice today, but her waist was a lot plump, and she didn't dare to tie her waist for fear of hurting the flesh and bones in her belly, so she used the excuse that she had a sore throat and was only acting as Tang Xiangwan's daughter-in-law. Accompanied at the banquet.

Today's male guests are all military officers and wealthy businessmen, and the female guests inevitably compete with each other. Most of them have changed into high-end and luxurious western clothes. Stand out.

Bai Sheng, who used to be more romantic than those playboys, used to pretend to be a husband and go hunting for novelties, but now she just leans quietly in the corner, sipping the juice in the glass, occasionally meeting old friends. When she came to strike up a conversation, she just smiled and didn't say much, and she seemed to be a different person, which surprised Jing Yuan, who hadn't seen her for a long time. From a distance, she seemed to remind people of the poem "Jian Jia" in the Book of Songs. .

Jiajia is blue, white dew is frost, and the so-called Yiren is on the side of the water.

She was wearing light makeup, with an indifferent face, and her bracelets and earrings were made of flawless white jade. From the corner of her eyes, she glanced at Gao Jianqin, who was surrounded by many people, with a happy face, and Tang Xiangwan, who was always by his side with a flattering face, and Annoyed, he raised his head and drank the juice in the glass.

In fact, she wore this outfit with the intention of cursing Gao Jianqin, wanting to see his birthday turned into a death day, and before going out, she had a big fight with Tang Xiangwan about it.

Distraught, Bai Yuan suddenly felt a soft and hot touch around her. She turned her head and saw Zhou Mei, who was wearing a black cheongsam, was leaning on the sofa with her head up. Alcoholic.

Just now, I saw Zhou Mei being entangled by Shi Liu and Zhao Sihai, shoulder-to-shoulder in all kinds of ways, I don't know how many drinks in a row, Hu Ziang and Wen Shaohe didn't let her go, they just wanted to annoy her before giving up. One night, the Chongqing Chamber of Commerce was the most noisy and yelling.Xi Zibai rolled his eyes, hurriedly grabbed the passing waiter, took a piece of warm towel, and helped Zhou Mei wipe off the sweat on Zhou Mei's forehead and the lipstick that had obviously been drunk, complaining in his mouth, "That bastard has a birthday!" , why do you dress up so nicely, and drink so much wine, you really have nothing to do."

Zhou Mei hummed twice, and fell on the actor's white shoulders.

"Hello!" Under the crowd, Xi Zibai was very embarrassed, and patted Zhou Mei on the cheek, "My ancestors, your godfather, fiance and sister-in-law are all there, can you pay attention to the influence?"

"Oh" I don't know if Zhou Mei is really drunk or fake drunk, she replied, but didn't get up, she still leaned against Xizi Bai like that.

Her drunken eyes seemed to see Jing Yuan walking this way, so she coquettishly whispered, "I'm a little uncomfortable, you go and make me a cup of tea, okay?"

The actor Bai put his hand on the place where Zhou Mei's stomach often hurt after drinking, and said worriedly, "What, it hurts again?"

"It's okay, you go first." Zhou Mei patted the back of her hand.

"I'll be right back." The actor Bai immediately got up and went to the waiter to ask for sober tea.

Zhou Mei stared at her elegant back, a tear fell from the corner of her eye, she leaned up, looked at the bright light above her head, the halo overlapped before her eyes, spread out, overlapped again, spread out again, until she saw the scene Yuan Junlang's face blocked the stinging light that hurt her eyes.

"What's the matter, are you uncomfortable?" Jing Yuan stretched out his hand tentatively, and touched her forehead.

Zhou Mei shook her head, didn't struggle, but was too lazy to answer him.

"That Zhao Sihai is too outrageous, I think he poured you from beginning to end." Jing Yuan looked displeased, and quickly took off his general uniform and put it on Zhou Mei.

"Go help me, I'll go there alone." Seeing that Jing Yuan didn't intend to leave, and the people from the Chongqing Chamber of Commerce were all overjoyed, Zhou Mei asked him to leave, since she represented Jing Yuan anyway. Home, if Jing Yuan didn't go at this time, it would be too shameless.

Jing Yuan was still worried, so he went to the important government officials, and pulled Jing Luo who was with Mayor Pan over to let her take care of Zhou Mei, before continuing to socialize.

"Sister-in-law" Jing Luo burped with a flattering face, and said in a very aggrieved tone, "I didn't even eat a bite, I just drank a lot of wine."

"I should have gotten used to it by now." Zhou Mei stretched out her hand to straighten Jing Luo's slightly messy temple hair, "You drink less, aren't you all pregnant, and still so crazy?"

"Where is Xiaobai, I saw her here just now?" Jing Luo stretched her neck and looked around.

"I asked her to get some tea"

"Didn't you tell her?" Jing Luo smiled deeply.

"It's the same whether you say it or not"

"I'm afraid she's going to die of grief." Just as Jing Luo finished speaking, there was a "swish" sound, and the fireworks prepared outside the Yushan Mansion had already bloomed in the night sky. There was a burst of exclamation, rushing to the bleachers outside the third floor.

"Sister-in-law, do you want to watch the fireworks?" After all, Jing Luo is young, and still likes to be lively.

Zhou Mei smiled, "You go, I'll take a break"

"Then I'll be back in a while," Jing Luo happily went to the stands.

Zhou Mei inadvertently glanced at the stands, seeing Gao Jianqin standing in the middle of the crowd, her heart gradually rose to her throat.

Here, actor Bai just came up from the second floor. She finally asked the waiter for sober tea. Seeing the fireworks shining outside, she couldn't help getting interested and wanted to go out to have a look. Tang Xiangwan was not far from her, and she seemed to be thinking about it Going to Gao Jianqin, he couldn't help losing face again, and went to find Zhou Mei.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Mei was already standing by her side, she seemed much more refreshed, and there was no trace of drunkenness.

"Okay?" The actor Bai looked puzzled, "Then still drink?"

"Well, I'm fine." Seeing the actor looking at Tang Xiangwan with white eyes, Zhou Mei called out directly, "Tang Sheng!"

Tang Xiangwan heard someone calling him, and saw Zhou Mei waving to him, so he walked over, seeing that Bai Yuan was still looking angry, he was naturally upset, "What's the matter?"

"Xiaobai prepared hangover tea. The commander drank a lot tonight. Take it to him and take it easy with him. It's not good for your health if you drink it badly."

Tang Xiangwan's expression softened a little, he took the tea from Xizi Bai's hand, and reached out to pinch her face, "Hey, go and eat some cake, that pudding is good, if you feel bored, dance with Miss Zhou."

Didn't he refuse to give himself to Zhou Mei a few months ago? Just because today is Gao Jianqin's birthday, he would rather give her to Zhou Mei directly than take his heart back.

Taking advantage of actor Bai's trance, Zhou Mei firmly grasped her wrist, and pulled her back little by little until she was far away from the glass door of the stand.

Xi Zibai retreated step by step, holding a breath in her heart, she couldn't help it, she wanted to scold Tang Xiangwan in the past, no matter what day it was, she just wanted to make things clear, he is a father now, what he should do What is it, what should he give up and what should he give up.

But she rushed forward, but Zhou Mei firmly held her wrist, not letting her go, Xie Bai was puzzled, she turned around to face Zhou Mei's cold eyes, something flashed through her mind, and she couldn't help but froze. on the spot.

At the same time, there were bursts of gunshots outside.

Just for a moment, the cries drowned out everything, and in the sky full of fireworks, there were all the figures of people fleeing in a hurry and the residues of glass tables and chairs being shot by machine guns.

The gunshot only rang out for less than 10 seconds, and the fallen figures in the stands were already tragic. Jing Luo was the only one left, clutching his left arm, leaning his back against the corner of the stand, not daring to get up.

"Ge Laozi, come again!!" Liu Xiang, who was lying on his stomach and taking a nap during the banquet due to drunkenness, suddenly woke up. He was furious, and immediately pulled out the gun from his waist, "All go to the opposite side with Laozi, and shoot these turtles!" grandson!"

The garrison downstairs rushed into the opposite building as soon as the gun fired. Many officers pulled out their guns and chased after Liu Xiang.

"Don't panic, everyone, squat down and find a place to hide! Don't go to the window!" Mayor Pan hid behind an overturned round table, observing the surrounding situation while commanding the scene loudly.

The actor Bai was locked in Zhou Mei's arms, she was trembling all over, staring blankly at the mess in the stands, "You... Xiang, Xiang Wan..."

"Xiang Wan, did you hear me!"

"Xiang Wan!" the actor Bai cried, pushing and shoving Zhou Mei frantically, "Let me go! Let go!"

"Little Bai!!" Jing Luo grinned in pain, and shouted anxiously, "Don't come here, bro! Go hold her down!!"

"Let go! You let go!" I don't know where she got so much strength, Jing Yuan already went to stop her, but Xi Zibai frantically broke free from their restraint like a wild beast.

The moment she ran to the stands, including Jing Luo, everyone hiding in the corner covered their eyes, fearing that she would be turned into a honeycomb by random gunshots.

But after a while, the actor Bai stood there safe and sound, her Baizhi cheongsam was a bit scary white.

The actor Bai squatted down, caressing Tang Xiangwan's still warm face, he saw blood pouring out of his chest, he twitched, wanted to breathe, wanted to talk, but when he saw the tearful Yuan raised his hand with difficulty, trying to wipe her tears, but just as he raised his hand, it fell again and again. His beautiful eyes were still open, reflecting the stars in the sky.

Seeing that Bai Yuan was fine, there were bursts of gunshots in the distance. Mayor Pan hurriedly called the police station and the garrison area to dispatch troops to protect the Yushan Mansion. As soon as he finished giving the order, he smashed the phone and cursed some very nasty words , This is the second surprise attack in Chongqing this year, so how can he not be annoyed.

At the same time, some daring people crowded into the stands one after another. Mayor Pan lowered his body, unable to bear to look at Tang Xiangwan's corpse, and persuaded in a low voice, "Xiaobai, you have to mourn!"

"Xiaobai, you..." Jing Luo was also supported by Jing Yuan at this time, she didn't know what to say after such a big incident happened.

Bai Yuan blocked her ears, and she bit her lower lip to foam out the blood.

Recalling the time when the snow was flying, he rode a war horse and came roaring in military uniform. That was the first time she saw Tang Xiangwan. With his warm embrace and strong arms, he hugged her dying and ran amidst the deafening flames of war. , led her to escape from the Japanese camp, and rescued her back to the world again. He fed her medicine, folded fresh peach blossoms for her in spring, rode her on horseback, and fought side by side holding her hand. The life and death agreement is wide.

A wedding without a wedding dress, a union without an agreement, and a bond without an oath, but they kept each other warm all the way, and they were so happy. She changed from a concubine in the handsome mansion that no one cared about to an enviable military officer's wife , She is deeply attached to him in her heart, she thinks that he can really love herself, and live an ordinary and happy life like this, but she also understands that is impossible, so she forces herself to be sensible and content.

She went crazy and made troubles regardless of the consequences, but what she liked the most was after she got into trouble, he dealt with the aftermath without complaint, pampered her, and pampered her.

The man who could shield her from the wind and rain, her only family member, stopped her heartbeat after all, shot through his chest randomly, and also destroyed her life's stability.

Xiang Wan, don't go, don't leave me and the child, don't leave me alone in this world, okay.

She turned her head in an instant, and her blood-red dull eyes swept over everyone present: Mayor Pan, Jing Yuan, Jing Luo, Zhao Sihai, Shi Liu, and many old acquaintances, and finally settled on Zhou Mei. A weird smile appeared.

That smile made Zhou Mei lower her head.

She dared not look at her.After she did this, she never thought about getting out of here alive, and she was even willing to pay for her life, although she clearly knew the answer.

How much she wanted her to expose herself, to relieve the hatred in her heart.

Bai Yuan's tears fell silently from her face, and she closed her eyes almost resigned to her fate. She was wearing a Suzhi cheongsam that was already stained red by Tang Xiangwan's blood. She held Tang Xiangwan's still warm hand, Covering his lower abdomen, stroking quietly.

Zhou Mei's eyes were wide open, her mind was buzzing, she knew Xi Zibai so well, what did this move mean, wouldn't she understand?She couldn't restrain herself suddenly, covered her stomach, took two steps in three steps, walked aside, and vomited out.

Stomach acid mixed with wine, passing through the esophagus, feeling burning, but her mind became more awake, damn it, what did she do?

"Sister-in-law, are you okay?" Jing Luo didn't care about her injuries, and hurried to help Zhou Mei with Jing Yuan. Shi Liu also put his hand on Zhou Mei's veins, as if to see what was wrong with her.

"Sister-in-law" Bai, the actor on the ground, turned his head and repeated it blankly.

Jing Luo groaned secretly, wishing she could slap her mouth. She looked at Bai Yuan with an embarrassed expression, not knowing how to speak.

"Isn't Ms. Zhou and Mr. Jing's wedding scheduled for the end of this month? Hey, who would have thought that this kind of thing would happen first?" Zhao Sihai, who was on the side, was so frightened that he completely forgot to look at people and sighed directly.

"Heh, hahahaha" the actor laughed hoarsely, and everyone was shuddered by her laughter, thinking that she had lost her mind and gone crazy.

Zhou Mei turned around with difficulty, her face was pale, she wanted to speak, but blood gushed out of her mouth, she covered her stomach, and passed out directly.
