Fall in love with your enemy
Chapter 534 Hiding (Part )Continuing from the last time, Lao Hou posed a difficult question to force me to show up, but I naturally refused. On the way to Haisong Mansion for refuge, I met Brother Qingyun.
No wonder, no wonder I couldn't find him even after searching all over Malaysia. He was hiding halfway up the mountain, so who could have any news about him? This area is basically a private area, and only this manor is open to the public. It's also very difficult to make an appointment. If it weren't for the problem at Haisong Mansion, I'm afraid I would never see him again. It's obvious that he's leaving.
I held my belly and stared at his back in a trance. Uncle Shao didn't dare to say anything when he saw me like this, but just stared at me. Brother Qingyun didn't know how big a consequence his accidental kindness would bring him. He packed up and was about to leave. I came to my senses at this time and quickly called him, "Brother!"
The originally gentle and smiling man froze there, and the drawing board he was carrying tilted and hit the corner of the table with a slight "bang". He probably woke up and recognized me, but it was too late. He turned around slowly with rapid breathing, and was about to run away with just one glance. I quickly stepped forward to grab his wrist, but he shook it off. I quickly thought of a way out and covered my stomach and wailed. He then hurried back, left the drawing board aside and was about to carry me away. I took this opportunity to hug him and refused to let go no matter what.
"Brother, don't go, don't go..." My heart was filled with sadness and I started to cry as I kept repeating.
Brother Qingyun gradually stopped struggling, as if he was soft-hearted and resigned to his fate. He moved his hands from my shoulders to my back and hair, comforting me bit by bit. I was confused and didn't know how I brought him back to Haisong Mansion. When I woke up again, Brother Qingyun had already sent me back to the room and covered me with a quilt. He was about to leave again without saying a word, as if he had just perfunctorily greeted me and wanted to leave. But with all the longing and grievances gone, I only felt that he was my chance. Whether from the perspective of revenge or dealing with Linjiangshang, he was my best reason. I had to keep him, no matter what method I used. So I grabbed his sleeve tightly again, tears streaming down my face.
Brother Qingyun looked at the door, finally gritted his teeth and came back to sit on the bed and hugged me in his arms: "Shishi, brother should go back."
"Where are you going?" I looked up at him, and he saw a guilty and helpless look on his face, and then he stroked my cheek with his thumb.
He sighed, "Shishi, I can't answer you, and I don't ask for your forgiveness. I just ask you to listen to one thing. He, he hasn't had a good year. He's old, and he won't live for many more years. Please don't look for him anymore, okay? We won't come back anymore. We don't have the ability to do anything anymore, even for the little bit of family affection we had before. Let him die quietly..."
After hearing this, I thought, so just because of the retribution that God should give him, should I give up on revenge?
In the past, I might not have thought this way. Perhaps it was because I was pregnant with a child. He always affected my mood, making me particularly sentimental and pitiful. I didn't care and just kept pulling his sleeves and crying, "Brother! Brother, I won't look for him anymore, I won't look for him, I don't want them, I only want you, okay? Stay with me more, I was left here by myself, if you leave me too, I really don't know what to do... I will die too, I haven't told anyone, but my second uncle has been giving me drugs before, and my body doesn't support childbirth at all! When my child is born full-term, I will die too, do you understand?"
Brother Qingyun shuddered violently and pulled me over to look at him carefully. His expression changed several times in a short period of time. There was no need to ask any questions. At this point, he would believe whatever I said. A loser who had suffered a complete defeat and was fleeing madly, he would not be able to defend himself no matter how many charges were put on him in the future. I was not worried about whether he would be exposed or not. Anyway, I knew that Brother Qingyun would not leave here whether he wanted to or not. He was still my brother, and I would not impose on him the crimes that my second uncle had committed against me. The only price was his freedom. Who asked him to expose himself in vain?
If he was indifferent to strangers at the manor, I wouldn't have discovered him. It was his fault. It was fate that made him stay.
Brother Qingyun no longer resisted. I lay sideways on his legs. He wiped his tears quietly. I didn't know if it was for himself or for me. His palms were still stroking my ears.
He really stayed with me quietly for the whole day.
But I understand that he will not give up easily. If he suddenly disappears, my second uncle and my brother will inevitably look for him. Even if he loves me, he cannot change the fact that the Fu family is a den of wolves. The more people stare at me, the more people will discover them. It is the most foolish thing to walk into the tiger's mouth. He should at least go back to report the news. It's a pity that I didn't sleep well. Uncle Shao and Ji Bin would not let him go easily for my safety. So not long after he tucked in my quilt and walked out in the middle of the night, Ji Bin opened the door and came into my room to ask.
I took a few sips of the cold porridge on the table, stared blankly in the direction he was walking, and took a deep breath: "Follow him."
Ji Bin immediately asked everyone to leave, and he and Shao Qin moved a stool to wait in the room. Not long after, he received a call and shrugged with a little disappointment: "We were discovered."
Shao Qin looked at me and saw that my expression was not fluctuating. He couldn't help but reveal a look of regret: "Qingyun is the head who has completely accepted the education of his family. His anti-detection ability is too strong. It is impossible for him not to leak any wind. This will happen sooner or later. At least he didn't expose it, saving some face for both of us. He didn't say anything. He stood on the side of the road for a while and turned back..."
Ji Bing snorted in disgust, took out a cigarette from his pocket, and was about to light it, but turned his head and seemed to remember me, and put it out in an instant, as if nothing had happened. Shao Qin glared at him and even threw the lighter into the trash can, annoyed, "Really, why did I run into him? If it was that little idiot Fu Shuchen, it would be great."
"It's okay. It's fine like this now." It seemed to be very difficult for me to prop myself up and lie down. I didn't have time to ask Shao Qin to get up and help me. It couldn't be more calm. I turned off the small light in front of me and closed my eyes: "Go back to sleep, just pretend nothing happened. He is still useful. Don't push him to the edge of the cliff."
After saying that, Ji Bing wanted to say something, but after being stopped by Shao Qin, he came to his senses. He had to consider the lives of An An and me. None of us knew about Second Uncle's situation now. I was alone in Malaysia and was at my weakest. Only the two of them could protect me. It would be better not to cause trouble if we could. We can discuss it after the child is born. As for Brother Qingyun, just detain him and provide him with good food and drink. No one could find any fault with him. At most, there would be some minor problems when the news was reported back to Linjiang, but they were not as important as the present. They quietly went back to the house to sleep, and closed the door gently before leaving.
Not long after, Brother Qingyun opened the door again, and the mountain breeze came in a little with him. He came over slowly, wrapped in the cold air, patted his body, and leaned over to kiss me on the forehead.
"Brother promises to stay with you." His words were sincere, and it seemed as if his tense nerves broke at that moment, and what overflowed was the last love and guilt in a life that could be seen at a glance.
After doing all this, he gently put my hand that was exposed outside the quilt back into the room. Regardless of whether I was awake or not, he went to the corner, took off his coat, found a thin blanket, covered himself with it, and went to sleep on the sofa in my room.
Up to this point I thought I was dreaming, until I tiptoed up the next day and saw him sleeping soundly on the sofa, as if he hadn't felt so comfortable in a long time.
I finally relaxed, with a smile on my face, and after washing up, I pushed him awake: "Brother, it's time to eat. How come you got up later than me?"
He reached out and pulled me to sit down. After stretching, he rubbed my face and looked down at his watch.
"Half past eleven," I said before he could see clearly.
Brother Qingyun was still confused, but he had already accepted the setting from the bottom of his heart, and he was particularly relaxed: "Your sofa is nice, and the blanket is also very soft. What brand is it?"
"Lu Zeyun's stuff is probably all from his own brand. His family has always paid attention to health preservation. Ouch..." I was reminiscing with my head tilted back, and the baby in my belly was so hungry that he kicked me. It was really unbearable. I was always hungry during the pregnancy, but the amount of food I eat was fixed, and I couldn't eat more than one bite. Even so, my belly grew to the size of a watermelon, and I was about to give birth in two months.
When Brother Qingyun heard me calling, he almost jumped up. He rubbed his hands together and carefully put them on my belly to feel it. My son Anan, who is good at dealing with people, naturally would not let his uncle wait in vain. He kicked him again immediately. Brother Qingyun was shocked. The child was very healthy, but he didn't know whether he should smile or not. The corners of his mouth, which had just been raised, suddenly fell down and he sighed deeply.
"Shishi, what you said yesterday... couldn't be true? If it was really fatal, why did you insist on carrying him?" He finally couldn't help but ask.
I smiled bitterly, put down my clothes to cover my belly, and stroked the ball of flesh that looked like Nezha even though it was not that big. "Actually, it's not necessarily true. Rong Yu told me that I could carry him for at most seven months, and then have a cesarean section immediately, and the baby wouldn't be sucked dry. With the help of modern technology, the baby can survive, so I wanted to give it a try. Since this little soul has come to me and wants me to be his mother, I don't want to disappoint him. Besides, this is my last child, brother. I made a mistake before. Lingling and Yunyun are children raised within the marriage. Even if they are Xin Ci's biological children, he can't be recognized... I have to leave him a child of his own. Not many people know about this, so don't tell anyone. Most people in Linjiang think I'm just recovering from illness."
"But this is too risky. What if something unexpected happens?" Brother Qingyun reluctantly lifted the strands of hair from my temples, but when he looked down at my bulging belly, there was no room for regret.
What is the difference between induced abortion and giving birth at this age?
I smiled and leaned into his arms. "What's so strange about a mother taking risks for her child? I've already planned everything out. I have set a fixed amount of time for eating, sleeping, and even walking. As long as the people and things outside don't disturb me, there won't be any accidents."
Brother Qingyun hummed for a while after hearing this, and leaned his head against me, not knowing whether to laugh or cry: "Although, I don't want to be a bad mouth, but generally speaking, people who say this will soon run into problems."
Me: "If you know you have a bad mouth, just hit yourself three times and then say bah bah bah——"
He: “Are you sure this really works?”
Me: "Life is a mystery. These things exist if you believe in them or not. Anyway, we have no other choice now. We should try our best to save the situation."
He: "Well, what you said seems to make sense... Bah bah bah!"
After they finished talking, they both laughed out loud, then Ji Bing knocked on the door and asked when we were going to eat, whether we were going out or inside. I felt that I was in good spirits today and was still willing to take a walk, so I changed into a long skirt and went out. Summer was here, the sun was scorching the earth, and the cicadas were chirping because of the heat. It was even worse on the mountain at noon, making a lot of noise. Uncle Shao was afraid that I would want to sleep after eating, and I was afraid of freezing if I closed the window and turned on the air conditioner, so he ordered people to use a stick to catch all the insects nearby. I saw this rare scene through the window, and at first I said there was no need to go through so much trouble, but I was immediately educated. Uncle Shao said that this was the most environmentally friendly way to protect my baby, so that I wouldn't be unable to bear the spraying of pesticides and it would be too late.
I said nothing, but just gave out red envelopes to show my support for green environmental protection activities. Over the past two days, the servants who were originally sad and complaining immediately changed their attitude and liked me very much. They even wanted to feed me. It turns out that money is the best way to solve initial problems.
Well, Brother Qingyun is the best way to solve depth problems.
I realized this truth at a dinner two days later. Calculating the time, the so-called "surprise inspection" should have begun. But I didn't expect the hype to be so serious and the news so tight. The day after the Yingjing team arrived, Lao Hou moved his uncle back home and prepared a big banquet. Then Yanyan made a video call with my reasons. I didn't react much, because I knew that what was coming would come, so I just put the phone up to make sure it didn't hit my stomach and answered the call.
The first thing that caught my eye was Yanyan's pitiful little face: "Sister, when will you come back? Brother Xinci and Brother Chengcheng are back, why did they leave you there alone? Don't you want me anymore..."
"Think positively, baby. Your sister went out without taking anyone with her. You are not the only one who was abandoned. Besides, don't we call each other often?" I smiled and exposed Yanyan's disguise. The little girl lowered her head bitterly, staring at her father with her big watery eyes and winking at me.
But Lao Hou still didn't show up. The next time, the video turned to an old man in a smart black shirt. Oh, he wasn't too old, just with deeper wrinkles. His hair was still jet black. He looked very energetic and had the temperament of a lady. Although it was not quite what I imagined, I knew from this situation that this was Lao Hou's backer. I bowed and said, "Uncle."
The so-called "lady" immediately smiled happily, and her temperament changed the moment she grinned. She waved across the phone: "Hey, it's Shi girl, right? I've heard Wenbin mention you several times before, but I didn't have the chance to meet you. I didn't expect to meet you on the phone this time."
"Yes, I have been ill. My uncle is a busy man. I was afraid that I would pass on my illness to you, so I stayed far away to recuperate. I didn't dare go down the mountain when I was not feeling well. My condition has only improved a little recently. After two or three months, I will go back and apologize to my uncle." I nodded.
The uncle raised his hand immediately, and his eyes instantly showed the traditional open-mindedness of the Hou family: "What are you accusing? Girl, you should rest well if you are sick! You have always been weak, and you haven't recovered after so many years of treatment at home. I even said that Wen Binguang would drink and miss important things! Come back to me and find you in advance. Actually, there is nothing. I just heard that you were sick, and I was afraid that you would worry about Linjiang's check-up, so I said something to reassure you and not to make a big fuss. There is no news from the higher-ups. It's just a routine inspection."
I understood, lowered my head and smiled: "That's even more troublesome, uncle. Speaking of which, the Linjiang families are all relatives. At this time of renewal, those who can cooperate with you are all juniors. If there is anything wrong, please forgive me and teach me."
"Tsk tsk, this kid, at such a young age I think he is more promising than the others, and he speaks very carefully, which is a good thing. Come on, your uncle still has a few words to say to you. After we finish talking, have a good meal. You've become so thin now." The uncle praised him and quickly went to accept toasts from other family members.
The last person I saw was Lao Hou’s face. He had caused me so much trouble, but he was smiling and even gave me a “yeah” at the beginning. And I…
Yeah, you big-headed ghost, I'm going to scare you so much that your blood pressure soars!
