周家老宅的飯桌上,如常放滿了精緻的飯菜,傭人在後面走動添酒水,席間除了周家四人,還有李氏夫婦兩位客人。289Please respect copyright.PENANA0pYnDPOF1R
289Please respect copyright.PENANAS2tsEpODjY
「今天小凡不能來真可惜,我還特意吩咐傭人做了幾道他愛吃的菜呢。」方玉賢惋惜道。289Please respect copyright.PENANArijyzop89s
289Please respect copyright.PENANA1wIrYb5ciE
李母臉露尷尬,「就是啊⋯⋯周夫人這麽誠心誠意做的菜,是我家孩子沒口福。」289Please respect copyright.PENANA6oQlo9yxTI
289Please respect copyright.PENANAejaYzCo8eb
「沒關係,訓練要緊,下次再吃就好。」方玉賢體諒道,又看向默不作聲吃飯的周諾寧,心裡甚是寬慰,「讓小寧到李家拜訪也可以。」289Please respect copyright.PENANApR5VnftE4U
289Please respect copyright.PENANAX8hrTYfeuz
周諾寧聞言一頓,但沒有看方玉賢,冷淡地將飯菜送進嘴裡。289Please respect copyright.PENANA8cMWpoOMYs
289Please respect copyright.PENANAmp06KtZY4F
李母看了眼周諾寧,還是不太敢隨意跟她搭話,只說,「那、那當然好啊,我們隨時歡迎。」289Please respect copyright.PENANAbqRJLFidNF
289Please respect copyright.PENANA62a7tWplUG
周諾寧內心冷笑了一聲,斜眼看向周子亦,壓著聲線道,「看來你只想著算計我,倒是忘了男主角也很不合作。」289Please respect copyright.PENANA8X3jPLZtH6
289Please respect copyright.PENANAZqVCHczCQm
周子亦淡定笑著,「比起你,阿凡可容易多了。」289Please respect copyright.PENANAa5dxHvRSxR
289Please respect copyright.PENANAvlt4P9t5FY
周諾寧喝了一口水,看向父母那邊,方玉賢正和李氏夫婦言談甚歡,並沒注意到這裡的對話。289Please respect copyright.PENANAEdnqYdvCZ3
289Please respect copyright.PENANAqPf0FjB8dr
「不也就拿著一樣的東西去威脅,少得意了。」周諾寧從牙縫裡擠出這句話。289Please respect copyright.PENANA1G87Bumwx6
289Please respect copyright.PENANAc9kcBamlwU
周子亦微微勾唇,並沒否認。289Please respect copyright.PENANACTFk7XI8cJ
289Please respect copyright.PENANAOEcvcn1A1G
「對了,周董事長,」李嶽看氣氛正好,謹慎地提起,「既然現在婚事也定了⋯⋯我們甚麼時候公佈消息比較好?」289Please respect copyright.PENANAVckY8btmOl
289Please respect copyright.PENANAia2KRsjskK
方玉賢一怔,瞬間收拾了表情,笑道,「這當然是⋯⋯」289Please respect copyright.PENANACd2nk8wXWM
289Please respect copyright.PENANAhHWwFs4AXq
「等到賽季結束後再談吧。」剛才一直沒開口的周天權打斷,夾著菜,毫無退讓餘地,「現在並不合適。」289Please respect copyright.PENANATpzgPdEdki
289Please respect copyright.PENANAWtuj59gPlE
李嶽神情明顯一僵,似是沒有料到周天權如此決絕的答案,漸漸蒙上一層慍怒的顏色。289Please respect copyright.PENANAhxSV4Y8i2i
289Please respect copyright.PENANAXnPpG3mvDw
這場看似是兩家人的婚事,實際上決定權只在周天權一人手上。289Please respect copyright.PENANAUZkgLnDeGG
289Please respect copyright.PENANAsvm0kswG43
方玉賢趕緊出來緩頰,「對啊,現在兩個孩子正忙碌,也都沒這個精神了,等他們忙完了再辦訂婚宴也不遲。對吧李夫人?」289Please respect copyright.PENANAJq7rvsST9T
289Please respect copyright.PENANAdknmHNXff0
李母看到自己丈夫的臉色,也不好附和方玉賢,但又不能甚麼都不說,尷尬道,「這⋯⋯今天小凡也不在,我們當父母的也不好替他們決定。」289Please respect copyright.PENANA45tgz6yhD6
289Please respect copyright.PENANAkifOCjQ8g1
方玉賢怔了怔,勉強笑道,「也對⋯⋯李夫人說的對,這事就等孩子都在再說吧。」289Please respect copyright.PENANAKvYd3EGW9I
289Please respect copyright.PENANAnl436KRh8D
這個話題雖然就這麼結束,但目睹各人表情的周諾寧,內心的疑問卻不斷發酵。289Please respect copyright.PENANAny1ECq8J0U
289Please respect copyright.PENANAl0Anbbf2tP
看樣子,周天權心裡並沒有完全同意這場婚事。289Please respect copyright.PENANAbSiZSTFz4y
289Please respect copyright.PENANADXnc4cscj6
那周子亦到底用了甚麼手段讓周天權暫時妥協?289Please respect copyright.PENANAaiJkSEZ5vy
289Please respect copyright.PENANAzqepK50nka
抑或,是周天權在利用周子亦讓她妥協?289Please respect copyright.PENANALSVx3s5mo9
289Please respect copyright.PENANAq2WJvDrMtO
飯後,李氏夫婦並沒久留,周天權讓周子亦跟著他去書房一趟,方玉賢則硬是拉著周諾寧去她以前住的房間,說有禮物要給她。289Please respect copyright.PENANANowIPKEYy2
289Please respect copyright.PENANAoasTSWhVjA
周諾寧嘆了一口氣,也不想現在離開跟李氏夫婦碰上,只能不耐煩地鬆開方玉賢的手,往自己的房間走。289Please respect copyright.PENANALXMUiD9dvs
289Please respect copyright.PENANAT3imxmwMnu
自從她十二歲去英國留學後,她再也沒有回來過這個房間。289Please respect copyright.PENANAtUhKTxEakJ
289Please respect copyright.PENANARvZsZfwYQd
久違回到這個許久不見的地方,一切彷彿遙遠又熟悉。289Please respect copyright.PENANAYRuGzkxXD0
289Please respect copyright.PENANAv7xSYo1H90
淡粉紅的牆紙,歐陸風的傢俱,充滿溫暖和愛的氣息,原封不動,一塵不染,一如她十二歲離開時的那個樣子。289Please respect copyright.PENANAJEQhE12Fdt
289Please respect copyright.PENANA3OBAgtZWAs
但在她的記憶之中,這個房間代表著她最軟弱無力的時期,陰暗的角落裡似乎還殘留著她瑟瑟發抖的幼小身影。289Please respect copyright.PENANAEM2Ri7RZAl
289Please respect copyright.PENANAH1uewXoE6u
心情一下就變得極糟。289Please respect copyright.PENANAWO4QYRElFS
289Please respect copyright.PENANAggvACHk5D6
「來阿寧,過來坐。」方玉賢拉著她在床邊坐下,身側有一個禮物盒,「這是媽給你買的⋯⋯訂婚禮物。」289Please respect copyright.PENANAMjgymNLjpr
289Please respect copyright.PENANA5824TiuLun
方玉賢把禮物盒遞給她,期待地示意她打開。289Please respect copyright.PENANArDoII8eGGr
289Please respect copyright.PENANArO0eGJF3v7
周諾寧沒有甚麼表情地接過,機械式地慢慢打開,映入一片乾淨無染的顏色,讓她的眼眸輕輕一撞。289Please respect copyright.PENANAcZ8YIEQouY
289Please respect copyright.PENANAkCeqfh5fPj
那是一件白色小禮服,胸前和衣袖的布料都用上了繡工精緻的蕾絲,搭配柔順的純白布料,跟周諾寧清冷的氣息十分相襯。289Please respect copyright.PENANAFGK8PLdYDV
289Please respect copyright.PENANAmyCF9hyBEb
「雖然⋯⋯你跟阿凡還沒那麼快訂婚,但是媽還是想提早送你這個禮物。」方玉賢很是喜歡自己挑的禮物,微微笑著,「不然也不知道你下次甚麼時候再回來了。」289Please respect copyright.PENANAIfnszifm32
289Please respect copyright.PENANAmlTJtU38od
周諾寧看著那件禮服,微微出神,有了些模糊的想像。289Please respect copyright.PENANA79oyh4W266
289Please respect copyright.PENANAjuUljy0hoy
站在她身邊的人⋯⋯289Please respect copyright.PENANAznretRkHC0
289Please respect copyright.PENANATTiuBH4fuo
「如果⋯⋯」她不自覺就脫口而出,「我想嫁的人不是李與凡⋯⋯你會幫我嗎?」289Please respect copyright.PENANAQy6zxt3jT9
289Please respect copyright.PENANAQgZejPoqSE
方玉賢一怔,有些措手不及,「阿寧⋯⋯這⋯⋯」289Please respect copyright.PENANARPbv4aJiC1
289Please respect copyright.PENANAn6tT8eHQHC
「不行,我當然知道。」周諾寧很快清醒過來,自嘲一笑,「也對,有哪一次你會站在我這邊。」289Please respect copyright.PENANAkOezAQjBa1
289Please respect copyright.PENANAidXjxb9414
她就是一時瘋了才會問方玉賢這種問題。289Please respect copyright.PENANAC7B7PXCOeO
289Please respect copyright.PENANAkCMTypr5Sk
方玉賢傷心地說,「阿寧,媽不是這個意思⋯⋯」289Please respect copyright.PENANAuGkgA6vSqK
289Please respect copyright.PENANA2wTcLjXSbf
「反正我的人生,從來不會有一次讓我自己決定。」周諾寧的手掌撫摸過布料,沒有感情道,「因為我的父親,是一個為了不讓人知道他的女兒不會說話,就把女兒當成兒子來養的人。」289Please respect copyright.PENANAY1DWZwqv72
289Please respect copyright.PENANAp0tJs9Lcpo
「當然不是⋯⋯!阿寧你⋯⋯你怎麼會這麼想的!」方玉賢震驚地說,「這都是因為你父親擔心你受傷害,所以才⋯⋯!」289Please respect copyright.PENANAKWIZUwZLPR
289Please respect copyright.PENANAZWOd1btzAR
「擔心?」周諾寧冷笑,受夠方玉賢無盡的謊言了,「所以就把五歲的小孩送去接受軍訓?不過是不會說話,又不是不會打架。」289Please respect copyright.PENANAAqVbKGGbak
289Please respect copyright.PENANAgSnEKPzcjK
「那是⋯⋯!那時候你⋯⋯!」方玉賢乾著急,卻有口難言,只能懇切道,「阿寧⋯⋯我知道你父親一直都對你很苛刻,讓你受了很多煎熬⋯⋯可是⋯⋯他做的一切,都是希望你能擁有保護好自己的能力,不會再陷入痛苦之中啊⋯⋯」289Please respect copyright.PENANAa0Qwa894vG
289Please respect copyright.PENANAtoIm7CzQAB
「不。」周諾寧決絕道,「當初會變成那樣,就是你們造成的。」289Please respect copyright.PENANAxjM20j65Nz
289Please respect copyright.PENANA26k4OhhGFd
她冷漠無情地蓋上盒子。289Please respect copyright.PENANAhWyXBndnAT
289Please respect copyright.PENANAYIswgGj8xy
「所以現在的痛苦,全是你們給的。」289Please respect copyright.PENANADyEIffKQwj
289Please respect copyright.PENANAvE6u5k1Ely
另一邊,周天權的書房。289Please respect copyright.PENANA6oTgmOV7bJ
289Please respect copyright.PENANAQKszMprFH3
周子亦關上書房門,走到書桌前,周天權已經坐下,準備翻閱文件。289Please respect copyright.PENANAOkOmgKCgeL
289Please respect copyright.PENANAAkabXdJiSf
「爸。」289Please respect copyright.PENANAxwD5glGQdT
289Please respect copyright.PENANArkpEdipM2b
周天權沒有抬頭,掀開文件夾,「交出來吧。」289Please respect copyright.PENANASFauXK2Raq
289Please respect copyright.PENANAy06C1AeUvw
周子亦臉色一緊,仍維持住鎮定,「那是甚麼⋯⋯」289Please respect copyright.PENANABhKleTX9nq
289Please respect copyright.PENANASNt3piWgO8
「你用來威脅阿寧的東西。」周天權繼續翻過紙張,臉色穩如泰山,「別讓我說第二次。」289Please respect copyright.PENANARIkFxQwFQ9
289Please respect copyright.PENANAHtVWPDQR6W
周子亦身子一震,眼底動搖不止。289Please respect copyright.PENANAT9JoMfN05o
289Please respect copyright.PENANA8D2ImDliuw
「我的孩子,我還不了解麽。」周天權的眼神始終停留在紙張上,全然不需要看周子亦甚麼表情,「除非拿捏住她最珍視的東西,否則她誰的話也不會聽。」289Please respect copyright.PENANAnI6MyNYtq1
289Please respect copyright.PENANArZQC3CjsWq
「既然早就知道,您為何⋯⋯」289Please respect copyright.PENANAWSoU4TE1UR
289Please respect copyright.PENANApoqw48iHIJ
「藉這個機會讓阿寧遠離那些低下的東西,是我樂見的事。」周天權無情說道,「只不過,這不等於我會讓你遵守跟她之間的約定。」289Please respect copyright.PENANA2IhFzS1r6w
289Please respect copyright.PENANAZX9UX6zbtQ
周子亦一默,最後垂死掙扎,「⋯⋯那份資料還沒驗證真偽。」289Please respect copyright.PENANAsasWa4d3N5
289Please respect copyright.PENANAEQ4aIDmtVb
「那就是我的事了。」周天權不吃這套。289Please respect copyright.PENANASEbKizmX76
289Please respect copyright.PENANA5WuIzP5HqJ
周子亦咬牙頃刻,儘管不忿也只能屈服,「我明白了。」289Please respect copyright.PENANAblaikdWhRS
289Please respect copyright.PENANAdfsZIPWiqh
「封鎖好消息,別讓外界知道跟李家聯姻的事。」周天權吩咐道,「我已經在跟中川家接觸了。」289Please respect copyright.PENANA97bu99VJEV
289Please respect copyright.PENANA7TU8JbcrEA
周子亦眉頭一皺,「所以您根本不打算⋯⋯」289Please respect copyright.PENANAC7jqZfZBVZ
289Please respect copyright.PENANAsvzH3rlPr2
「如果你執意保住那個女人,那就聽我說的,別讓阿寧跟你走一樣的歪路!」周天權厲聲道,「一樣的髒水,我不可能讓你們兩兄妹都掉進去!」289Please respect copyright.PENANAiZBjZbzARD
