There was silence in the room. After a few minutes, old lady Shen opened her eyes and sighed long.

That sad past is the secret of my heart. I thought I was going to take it to the grave. She promised her daughter... She looked at Su Xiang deeply and didn't expect to see her granddaughter again after so many years.

Xiaoyan, it's not a pity that she gave birth to a daughter for him. The old lady looked at Yanlin, and her eyes showed relief. She can confidently tell the secret.

She turned to Su Xiang and said slowly, "our family and ye family are neighbors. They always get along well. Xiaoyan and Ye Cheng are always together. "

"After Xiaoyan married Su Mingdong, she felt ashamed to face the two families because of the humiliation that night. She couldn't face them any more, whether it was me, her father or Ye Cheng's parents. She became the daughter-in-law of the Su family and seldom came home. "

"But our family and ye family continue to communicate and support each other under such circumstances. Ah... That night, it really hit us too hard. The neighbors, relatives, friends and wedding invitations have been sent out. We all know that our two families are going to be in laws. After a night, we don't know what happened, so Xiaoyan married. "

"Everyone said that Xiaoyan was too poor and loved the rich, so he climbed high. She doesn't explain, she can't explain that kind of thing. If she wants to say it, it will hurt the face of the two families... "Old lady Shen patted her wrinkled cheeks and wiped tears sadly when she talked about the incident many years ago.

Even if it's just an ordinary family, it's dignified. How can both families behave when their own daughter and future daughter-in-law are forced to do it?

So Shen Yan at that time, even if she was full of grievances and suffered more pain than anyone, she could only endure it and dared not go home. She would rather be misunderstood as a rich lady.

Knowing the truth, the Shen and ye families can only endure their grief and continue to live. But even so, the two old people of the Ye family were frightened and suffered such a blow. They died one after another in less than two years. There was only one Ye Cheng left in the Ye family, and the Shen family took care of him.

Mr. Shen is a primary school teacher with a heavy mind. He was deeply sorry to see the Ye family die one after another because of Shen Yan. He also went there a year later.

Ye and Shen died one after another. In the end, only old lady Shen, Ye Cheng and Shen Yan were left. However, Shen Yan doesn't often go home, which is equivalent to the old lady and Ye Cheng depending on each other.

Ye Cheng was so angry that he watched his parents die and his wife be taken away. He endured to lock himself up for ten years and wanted to stand out. Fortunately, he succeeded. His paintings were appreciated by foreigners and made a lot of money. At that time, the whole country was doing business. If he wanted to defeat Su Mingdong, he had to earn more money. Even if he couldn't defeat Su Mingdong, he had enough strength to fly away with Shen Yan.

But he was just a painter and didn't understand business. At that time, he also wanted to be a great painter, make friends with great people, stabilize social status, and continue to devote himself to painting.

He wanted to open a gallery to sell his own paintings and other people's paintings, but he and Lao he were friends. He couldn't hurt. He didn't have food, so he invested his money in trusted friends to make money. Everything began to move towards his expectation. He had the right to have money. He felt that the time had come

Mrs. Shen said a lot. Speaking of Ye Cheng's ten years after losing Shen Yan, Su Xiang looked at Yan Lin. he sat there like a sculpture with no expression on his face. It seemed that he was talking about someone else's business.

Old lady Shen looked at Yan Lin and said, "at that time, only I lived with you. Even if you don't say what you did, I actually know."

"Later, when you think the time is ripe, you go to Xiaoyan. Your feelings have never changed. They will be together again soon. But you didn't expect that after ten years of struggle, Su Mingdong easily disintegrated. All your assets were embezzled by him. Those big people you made friends with disliked you because you sent fake paintings. All your hard work was in vain. "

"But you can't bear to let Xiaoyan stay with animals like Su Mingdong. You have to take her away. She agreed to meet you at the wasteland, escape at night and leave the North City..."

... more than twenty years ago

Summer night, under the moonlight, a woman ran quickly in a sweet potato field. The ground was uneven. She ran staggered, but she still ran forward desperately.

The appointment is coming. She must hurry.

In the past, she used to come here to paint with the man. When he painted, she dug some sweet potatoes to satisfy her cravings.

There are several grave bags in the middle of the farmland. She is not afraid during the day, but at this time, there is no one around. She looks afraid and rushes forward with her eyes closed. However, more and more grave bags move forward.

In front of it was the wasteland. Before liberation, there was a place where prisoners were shot and full of dead people. The woman was even more afraid when she thought of this, but she was not so afraid when she thought of the people waiting there.

The surrounding sounds were chaotic, including frogs, insects, running with her feet on the ground and wheezing. A cry suddenly came from behind: "little smoke... Little smoke..."

The woman was startled and ran faster. Soon, the cry felt far away. She ran too long. She couldn't stand it. She stopped to breathe. The voice came up again, but this time she heard it clearly. It was her mother's voice.

The woman was Shen Yan. She turned her head and looked at it. Under the moon night, an old woman in her forties and fifties stumbled over. Shen Yan returned and ran forward a few steps: "Mom, why are you here?"

She looked around in panic for fear that someone would follow. There was a forest in the distance. She couldn't see anything clearly. When the wind blew, she only saw the shadow of the tree shaking. She was nervous. Shen's mother ran out of breath. She grabbed Shen Yan and said, "Xiao Yan, you can't go... You can't go..."

Shen's mother knew that the two of them were going to escape tonight. There were only three of them who depended on each other in the world. How could she not want her daughter to be happy? What's more, she always only recognized the child of the Ye family as her son-in-law.

Ye Cheng also sent a message to her that when he settled down elsewhere, he would come back to pick her up. After that, he lived with three people.

But why did she suddenly change her mind?

Shen Yan was worried. He turned to look at the direction of the wasteland and said to his mother, "Mom, he's still waiting for me. I must go right away!"

When Shen's mother saw her daughter leaving, she grabbed her wrist and said, "Xiao Yan, listen to me, you can't go!"

Shen Yan hurried to meet Ye Cheng and hurriedly pulled Shen's mother's wrist: "Mom!"

Shen's mother was so anxious that she couldn't wipe her face with sweat. She said, "Xiao Yan, that man sent a lot of people to look for you... He caught Shanshan, and Shanshan is in his hand!"

Shen's mother was anxious and incoherent, but Shen Yan understood. She was stunned, and the moonlight lit up her panic and pale face. Shanshan, her little cousin, is only 14 years old this year. Su Mingdong caught her and threatened her!

Shen's mother said with a sad face: "Xiaoyan, we're in trouble with Su Mingdong. It's our bad luck. We admit it, but we can't hurt the innocent. Shanshan, she's still a child..."

That night, like a brand, Su Mingdong deeply branded panic and despair in everyone's heart. Shen Yan's hand fell down, his face was dead gray, and looked blankly at the darkness ahead. She knows Su Mingdong's means, and she believes he can do that.

Mother was right. She provoked the beast, but the disaster was less than innocent

Shen's mother saw that she was desperate, and her heart was like a knife. She said, "that beast, he knew you ran away and found me. He said that he found someone to defraud Ye Cheng of the money. He also arranged for the fake paintings given to the director's wife and the vice mayor. He already knew that you began to contact with him, Xiaoyan. He set all this up! "

Shen's mother was distressed and angry. She was so angry that she patted her thigh, and there was no way to escape. She cried: "Xiao Yan, Ye Cheng has paid for this for ten years, but she still can't fight him, can't fight..."

Shen Yan choked and rolled down her throat. She was more desperate than Shen's mother. She has killed Ye Cheng's parents, and Ye Cheng's ten years of hard work are in vain because of her.

Her face was miserable. Mumu looked at Shen's mother and said, "Mom, I'm not going, I'm not going..."

Shen's mother painfully wiped her tears and scolded Su Mingdong's kind of beast for not dying well, but so what? He's still alive, forcing them into a corner.

Shen Yan looked at the wasteland from a distance. The dial on her wrist reflected in the moonlight. She looked at the time, cheered up and said, "Mom, I'll see him again for the last time and tell him to go quickly!"

Ye Cheng won't go without seeing her. If Su Mingdong sees him first, he will die!

Shen's mother also knew Ye Cheng's temper. She nodded and said, "yes, yes, tell him to run!"

Shen Yan turned and ran on the rugged road again. After the wind passed her ear, she ran faster than before, and her heart was about to jump out. Su Mingdong was cruel and could not let him find it, otherwise Ye Cheng would die. It was a wasteland. It was called heaven should not, and the earth did not work!

Close to the grove, the leaves clattered, and several figures ran past quickly through the darkness behind Shen Yan. According to Su Mingdong's instructions, they followed Shen's mother, and now they followed Shen Yan behind.

The old woman is still useful and stupid. She believes Su Mingdong's promise. As long as Shen Yan stays, he will let bygones be bygones.

As long as she walked through the woods, there was a wasteland in front of her. Shen Yan didn't care about fear and ran faster. She just wanted to find the man quickly, but she didn't notice the stone under her feet. When she turned her foot, she threw herself directly to the ground and felt the pain of her palms and knees. But at this time, she didn't care about the pain, because the rest of her eyes swept the shadows behind her!

Suddenly my heart was shocked! When did those people come out!

She looked forward and was glad that she had not brought those people to that area. She was still in the woods at this time. Shen's mother stumbled up. She was worried because she also saw those figures.

Shen Yan pretended to be panting too much and stopped to have a rest. Shen's mother finally caught up with her: "Xiao Yan, yes..."

Shen Yan gently shook her head and whispered, "Mom, I see."

Shen's mother regretted: "it's all my fault. I'm too anxious..." because she was too afraid of Su Mingdong's means and worried about them, she promised without much thought, but she attracted people instead.

Shen Yan clenched her fist. She must find Ye Cheng. Even if she runs back now, according to Su Mingdong's suspicion, she will find him when he comes back. The wasteland is not hard to find, and Ye Cheng won't leave until she waits.

How should she tell him?

Shen Yan looked at his mother. When he was thinking, he saw a dark shadow passing by. People who are familiar with this place should go to touch the situation when they know there is a wasteland in front of them.

Shen Yan tried her best to be quick and quick. Her eyes were suddenly cold. She seemed to have made up her mind. She grabbed her mother's arm and carefully asked, "Mom, listen to me carefully. Don't tell Ye Cheng what you told me just now. Don't let him know. Don't let him know the truth! And I can't say every word I say to him in the future! "

Shen's mother stared at her: "Xiaoyan, what are you talking about? What's the truth? After what? "

The man had carefully walked forward for some time. Shen Yan kept Yu Guang to pay attention to his movements and said sternly: "I don't have time to tell you now. In short, you swear, you can't say it! Promise me quickly! "

Shen's mother saw that she looked abnormal, so she had to nod. After that nod, Shen Yan released her hand and ran forward without looking back.

She ran faster than that person. When those people saw her running, they followed up again. Shen Yan took those people for a walk in the woods and ran out of the grove, but she knew that those people would soon follow up. She couldn't run away with Ye Cheng.

In the wasteland, except for the mounds, there are only weeds with toads, frogs, snakes, insects, mice and leeches. People are afraid of snakes and mice, but snakes and mice are more afraid of people. Ye Cheng taught her to beat the ground with a stick before walking, and the snakes and mice will run away by themselves.

However, it was obvious that someone had cleaned up this area first. Shen Yan didn't see a snake or a frightened mouse all the way. He felt warm and brave. He did it.

Therefore, in order to protect him, she must be braver!

Shen Yan bent his lips and showed a firm smile. She went to the missing corner of the tombstone and saw the people hiding there.

Ye Cheng saw the visitor clearly and couldn't wait to run over from behind the tombstone: "Xiaoyan, you're here. Is anyone followed?"

As he said, he looked at Shen Yan's back with vigilance. It was urgent. He held Shen Yan's hand and said, "let's go!"

But he couldn't pull Shen Yan. She stood there straight and motionless like a root under her feet.

She withdrew her hand and said, "I won't go."

Ye Cheng stared at her: "what are you talking about?" He went to pull her again, but Shen Yan avoided him and said again, "I didn't want to go with you."

Her face was like frost, and she raised her chin slightly. Under the moonlight, she looked arrogant and had the arrogance of your wife. She said coldly to the stunned man, "I have a son with him. You know, I'm almost ten years old."

"I have roots in the Su family. In the future, my son will inherit the Su family's property. Prosperity is right in front of me. Why should I suffer with you?"

"Xiaoyan..." facing the strange face in front of him, Ye Cheng still couldn't turn around. "Do you know what you're talking about?"

He only thought it funny, and didn't believe her at all. He said, "if you don't have me in your heart, how can you be good to me? We haven't been together all these days. Are you sick and talking nonsense? "

Although her complexion is cold, her skin is red. She must be ill and confused.

Shen Yan sneered and said, "I've lived with him for ten years. I sleep in a bed and cover a quilt every day. I've only been with you for a few days?"

"You came to me and became a painter in the eyes of foreigners. You have money and status, which is different from the past. He's always worried that I can't forget you, but I'm in love with him. In order to prove to him that I love him, I promised you. "

Ye Cheng's face was pale and his eyes shook violently: "little smoke, what are you talking about!"

Shen Yan smiled coldly, took a few steps around his back and said, "I said so obviously. In fact, you have guessed, haven't you?"

"I can say it more clearly. I betrayed you, cheated you out of your money, and asked someone to exchange your paintings for those dignitaries. You offended them, and there was nothing left. I told him the news and my idea. "

It was like thunder in the sky. Ye Cheng was completely stunned. He looked at her for a moment. His body suddenly shook and his blood flowed down his feet, as if to run out. His whole body was cold. Suddenly, all his blood poured into his head. His whole body seemed to be burning. His ears were buzzing, and he couldn't hear anything.

It came out of her mouth.

In the fatal blow, he was numb with pain and said again: "well, that night..."

So, what about the night they lingered?

Shen Yan's face immediately changed and said angrily, "shut up! Don't mention it, don't you mention another word! "

"We were all drunk that night, but we were confused and indulged. It was you who reminded me of our past feelings! "

There was silence around. It seemed that even the noisy insects and frogs disappeared. Ye Cheng's body shook and laughed sadly.

"Xiaoyan, are you telling the truth? I still don't want to believe it. Do you have any difficulties? "

Shen Yan looked at him, his face continued to be cold and said sorry: "sorry, Ye Cheng, I loved you, but I loved him more."

She pinched her fingernails in her palm and told herself that she was saving him by stabbing him.

In the silence, there were scattered footsteps, and several figures came out of the darkness. Their Yin measured faces and shining, vicious eyes surrounded them like wolves.

As soon as Ye Cheng's face changed, he immediately straightened his back, took a tight breath, stared at those people warily, turned his steps, and subconsciously protected Shen Yan behind him.

Just then, Shen Yan's cold voice sounded, "I brought them."

She could feel Ye Cheng's stiff body, and then looked at him in disbelief when he turned around.

Shen Yan's face was indifferent. She glanced behind her. Only she knew that her nervous nerves were about to break. She continued to face Ye Cheng coldly and said, "I made an appointment with you here and promised to go with you. It's all a lie to you."

"I have to prove to him how much I love him." Word by word, tell him clearly how much you love him, how thoroughly you have to betray him!

Ye Cheng laughed sadly, laughing at how much he had paid for this woman all his life, but he foolishly believed her and thought he would take her away even if he died.

Even if you die, you should sleep with her.

Everyone present heard every word Shen Yan said. Su Mingdong came out from those people, hugged Shen Yan's thin waist with his big hand, and kicked Ye Cheng's abdomen. Ye Cheng was kicked to the ground and didn't stand up for a long time.

Shen Yan felt that the foot was also kicked on her. At the same time, the man's arm made her sick like a poisonous snake. She didn't want Ye Cheng to see her intimacy held by Su Mingdong, but she could only hold back and couldn't say another word.

Su Mingdong smiled coldly and said fiercely, "you deserve to rob a woman with me? Waste! "

As soon as he waved his hand and hugged Shen Yan, he took a step back. The thugs surrounded him and punched and kicked Ye Cheng. Suddenly, the sound of boxing meat sounded together with the cry of pain.

Shen Yan was frightened. Every punch and foot seemed to hit her heart. She felt that she was about to break her teeth.

On the way here, she made plans. First, if she can catch up with Su Mingdong's men and leave Ye Chengqi before they catch up, it's best not to drag her. If she tries to drag those people again, he will be safe.

Second, if those people catch up faster than she expected, she will say more cruel words. She pretends to be su Mingdong's people and is deeply in love with him. Those people don't know the details. At that time, she can say a few words, let them teach them a few lessons and let him go. It's better to get hurt than lose your life.

Third, in the worst case, Su Mingdong came by himself. Su Mingdong is the person who knows all this best. He fully knows that she is really acting, and what she is acting for. He has false deep feelings for Su Mingdong and true feelings for ye Chengcai.

Now, it's the worst case, and she hasn't thought of a way to deal with it.

Shen Yan's heart is burning, but she doesn't dare to plead. Su Mingdong's eyes are scarlet, full of bloodthirsty light. He is completely excited. He will kill Ye Cheng!

She tried her best to find a way. Her eyes looked at those people, and a light flashed in her head.

Mom, she came with me. She must have been hiding.

If she is here, as long as Ye Cheng wants to breathe, there is still hope!

Shen Yan bit his teeth and said to Su Mingdong, "you have heard what I said. Can't you believe me?"

"I already owe Ye Cheng and the Ye family. The evil I have done will be repaid sooner or later. Can't you spare his life and accumulate some virtue for me and Su run!"

"If I die, who will you live with all your life!"

Yu Guangzhong saw Ye Cheng's desperate eyes. She has said so many words that make him die. He must not see her intention at this time, otherwise it will fall short of success.

Shen Yan knows that Su Mingdong loves her, but they haven't cultivated feelings in the past ten years. After marriage, Su Mingdong soon continued to play with other women outside, and she didn't say a word. But she escaped. Su Mingdong can't stand it. As long as she returns to his palm, she will pester her all her life. He won't allow her to escape or die. If she dies, she will also escape.

Shen Yan bet on that sentence. Sure enough, Su Mingdong's fierce eyes fell down. He looked at his woman angrily, and then coldly looked at Ye Cheng lying on the ground rolling all over the ground“ Stop. " He opened his mouth lazily, like looking at a dead dog. All the people stopped. Su Mingdong winked. They immediately came over and stood next to Shen Yan. Su Mingdong squatted down and looked at the dying Ye Cheng on the ground. He raised his hand and said, "knife." Immediately someone handed the knife. Su Mingdong pulled out the scabbard and flashed a silver cold light under the moon night, followed by a painful cry. A few drops of blood burst out on his clothes and his face. Listening to the screams of the women behind him, his face showed that bloodthirsty smile. He sneered, "I'm letting you know that you can't touch her or any woman in the future." Holding a knife, he rowed on Ye Cheng's face and cut it off with a knife, "this face has confused many women, but later they will run away when they see you."“ Because you are neither man nor ghost, neither man nor woman. "“ Stop it! Stop! " Shen Yan is about to collapse. She didn't expect Su Mingdong to become abnormal. He let him live, but in this way, he made his life worse than death! Su Mingdong felt satisfied and stopped. As soon as he lost his knife, he went to Shen Yan, took her wrist with his big hand, dragged her away from the wasteland, and finally left a sentence: "waste his hands and feet." He can live, but he might as well die. After su Mingdong and his party left, Shen's mother dared to run out. Ye Cheng has passed out. Fortunately, Shen's mother is a barefoot doctor in the town. She knows some first aid knowledge. She immediately tore off the cloth to stop bleeding for him. It took a lot of effort to get him back. Shen's mother finally knew why Shen Yan had to hide it from her. She was afraid that Ye Cheng would come back and take revenge. She was afraid that he would die. She didn't want to drag Ye Cheng down any more. She would rather he hated her and gave up despair to her than let him go to her again. Shen Yan, who was brought back to the Su family again by Su Mingdong, hated Su Mingdong very much after seeing his ruthlessness. He was worried that Ye Cheng would go to death if he didn't want to endure humiliation and steal life. He was so anxious that he had to escape all the time. But she never succeeded again. Su Mingdong locked her up and isolated her from the outside world. Two months later, Shen Yan found out that she was pregnant. Next, she was only willing to live for the last strand of blood left by Ye Cheng...
