Chapter 17: Disappointed

Perhaps for the people who live in the Bai family these days, it is not Bai Haoran and others who suffer the most, but Bai Hongfang.

For Bai Hongfang, the past few days are undoubtedly the biggest torment for him, like a hot iron burning on people's hearts, so that he can't even breathe out completely.

Walking through the heavily guarded Bai family compound, in front of the backyard, he passed by the old man sitting on the stone bench, and the two did not have any conversation, not even eye contact.

Then there was this long stone road, and when he saw the number seven or eight bodyguards guarding the door, he frowned, he was not proud that the Bai family could come up with this kind of skill, but felt a little abstract in his heart, after all, the owner of this room was Bai Cheng, who was once at the helm of the Bai family, and it was his father.

Born in this Bai family, it is his luck for Bai Hongfang, he has stood at a height that others have been chasing all his life from the beginning, but for those who stand at this height, he is pathetic, because when he should enjoy this resource the most, Baicheng fell, but was replaced by the exclusion of the entire Bai family, and then left his hometown and stepped into the capital.

It can be said that before the age of twenty-five, his life was extremely smooth, and after the age of twenty-five, his life was turned upside down, and in the past ten years, he has endured all the hardships he had not endured in another way.

It was also these ten years that forged him indestructible and made him so strong that Bai Wenshan had to be taboo.

He used to be extremely jealous of Bai Wenshan, but now he began to thank Bai Wenshan for letting him know the true appearance of this Jianghu.

He thought, if Bai Cheng survived to this day and saw this scene again, would this storm be happy or sad?

Bai Hongfang, who had been standing in place for a long time, came back to his senses, he walked to the room, and after the bodyguards guarding the door confirmed that it was Bai Hongfang, they got out of the way one by one, although the expression on his face was a little respectful, but Bai Hongfang could still see the vigilance in their eyes, obviously Bai Wenshan had told these bodyguards something.

He opened the door, but found that Wei Jiu was facing away from him, standing in front of the window of this room, looking at the flowers and plants planted in the backyard, that back made Bai Hongfang's heart a little more messy for a moment, as if this picture and the picture in his memory instantly coincided together, he knew that there was once a person who also liked to stand in front of this window and look at the scenery, that was Baicheng.

Maybe it was an illusion, Bai Hongfang always felt that Wei Jiu and his father at this moment were like carved out of a mold.

"You don't have to come to me every day, if you feel any guilt in your heart about me, I advise you to let go of those thoughts, I have come this far, although I have become a laughing stock in Xicheng District, but I have never resented anyone. Wei Jiu turned his back to Bai Hongfang and said, although he didn't turn his head, but in his heart, he might have already made it clear who it was.

Bai Hongfang casually pulled a wooden chair and sat down, although the old wooden chair had already made a "squeak" sound when it was sat down.

"It's just that it's too boring to stay in this place full of rancid hearts, and instead of facing those hypocritical faces, it's better to come and meet you, a person who may not be able to see in the future. Bai Hongfang said without any scruples, obviously these words were very harsh in Wei Jiu's ears at this moment.

After hearing this, Wei Jiu shook his head helplessly and said, "What's going on outside?"

"I didn't expect you to care about what Xicheng District had become, I thought you had already seen through the rivers and lakes. Bai Hongfang said with some surprise.

"No one can see through the rivers and lakes, and even those who can see clearly are like a rarity. Wei Jiu cleared his throat, his voice sounding a little haggard.

"I won't tell you the truth, now the Bai family threatens the remaining group of people under your command with your life, and if you don't surrender, you will be killed. Bai Hongfang said that this is something he only learned today.

After Wei Jiu heard this, his face was still calm, looking at Wei Jiu who did not tremble at him from behind, Bai Hongfang only felt that this man's mentality had reached the point of being like a fairy.

"The Bai family still did this after all. He exhaled deeply and said, but this sentence sounded so weak.

Bai Hongfang didn't see the expected reaction, he said a little unwillingly: "That's it?"

"What else can I do?" Wei Jiu finally turned his head, and as Bai Hongfang expected, it was a calm face without any waves, so he sat down at the desk, and then casually flipped through a book, as if he was in his own study.

"I'm really not afraid that the group of people under you will sell you, Bai Yiman of the Bai family, this woman knows how to manipulate people's hearts, maybe the group of people can be loyal servants when you are here, but now that you are down, no one can say which side they will stand on. Bai Hongfang said, but Wei Jiu just flipped through the book with a light face, and he wouldn't even give him any extra expression or change in expression, which made Bai Hongfang really a little crazy, as if he had been playing the piano to the cow.

"To say a heart-wrenching truth, I wish they would sell me, and the higher the price, the better, even if it is to make their future road a little easier, but now it seems that I can't sell me, and I have to get in, I don't think that the Bai family is kind enough to let go of the remnants of my men, I believe they should also be able to see through this, so this is an untenable thing. Wei Jiu flipped through the book called "Indifferent" and said unhurriedly.

After Bai Hongfang heard this, he found that even his own Bai family did not know this Bai family better than Wei Jiu, although this man said that he was a vulgar person, but in Bai Hongfang's heart, it seemed that this man was more transparent than anyone else, but he was unwilling to say it.

"But with you as a handle, even if they see through this situation, what choice do they have? Just watch your master die?" Bai Hongfang continued, the more calm Wei Jiu was, the more he wanted to express the seriousness of the storm in front of him, he hoped that Wei Jiu would pay attention to all this, and not have this kind of self-willed and depraved mentality, he didn't want to admit that the man he once admired so much would end the curtain in this way.

This is the only stubbornness in Bai Hongfang's heart, and it is also the only thing that no one knows, maybe the entire Bai family knows that he hates Wei Jiu, but who really knows that his hatred for Wei Jiu is far less than one-tenth of his worship.

"As for how to choose, it's all up to them, if they can't survive in such a storm, they can only say that their Taoism is not enough, and sooner or later they will eventually fold on such a road, it is better to let them have a break first, because even if I can live, one day I will still fall, one day, this sky that belongs to them, need them to support it, and I, the old man left over from the last storm, should also let go of my hands. Wei Jiu said, looking at his inadvertent relaxed appearance when he spoke, but he was more like an outsider, even this so-called outsider had been put on his neck with a sharp blade at the moment.

Bai Hongfang listened, his face was helpless, feeling that no matter how many or ten thousand words he said, I am afraid that he would not be able to reach this man's heart, he got up with a bitter face and said: "Then you are in this ghost place and watch what you have gained from your hard work in your life go down the drain." ”

After saying that, he turned around dejectedly and prepared to leave, but it wasn't until he walked to the door that Wei Jiu suddenly said, "It's been seven years." ”

Bai Hongfang's action of opening the door stopped, listening to Wei Jiu's four words with various complex feelings, his body trembled slightly, and replied, "It's been seven years." Even though it was just three words, his voice still trembled.

"With a clear conscience, these four words, I have been pursuing most of my life, and it is for these four words, what can be discarded is lost, what should not be discarded is also lost, in the end, there is still such a regret, I mention these things now, not in the hope that you can forgive me, but I think these words, if you don't find a chance to speak, I'm afraid there is no chance. Wei Jiu said, this time his expression was a little more serious.

Bai Hongfang's movements were still stiff, because his back was to Wei Jiu, so Wei Jiu couldn't see his face, but Wei Jiu knew that Bai Hongfang's expression must be very bad at this moment, after all, he had uncovered the scar.

"Wei Jiu, is it interesting to talk about these things now? Nothing can be changed. Bai Hongfang's voice trembled a little.

"Yes, it's really not interesting, but after all these years, I owe you a word of sorry that I failed such a woman and didn't even deserve her. Wei Jiu said sincerely.

Bai Hongfang's body trembled even more, he turned his head, his eyes widened and said, "Wei Jiu, do you know what I hate about you the most? It was you who took advantage of her, you used her to make you climb for ten or twenty years or even a lifetime, and when you held the thing you coveted, you abandoned her like this, do you know who she was talking about in the end? Or you, I don't know what magic you used to blind her eyes, make her blind and fall in love with such an unscrupulous guy as you. ”

Wei Jiu listened to Bai Hongfang's righteous indignation, his brows furrowed, but he didn't say anything, just lowered his head a little stiffly, turned a page of the book, and muttered slightly: "So, I have the end I deserve." ”
