Chapter 54: The Children's Laughter
Ke Linyu remembered some things, not a long time ago, but his memory was very vague.
He grabbed Qiao Yiyue's wrist and asked, "Three years ago, after my father died, did you come to me?"
Qiao Yiyue hadn't fully come to her senses, she barely opened her eyes a little, and she didn't bother to answer Ke Linyu's question.
"Let me ask you, did you come to me three years ago?" Ke Linyu accentuated, he had to confirm this matter again.
Why did he vaguely think that she had come to him, but everyone told him no, even Qiao Yiyue, she flatly denied it.
I remember someone pulling him drunk to the bathroom and flushing him with water in the face to cheer him up.
He asked Lu Lu, but Lu Lu didn't know about this matter.
Therefore, Ke Linyu can only comfort himself, it is an illusion.
However, the scene where Qiao Yiyue crashed into his arms just now reminded him of that incident again.
So profound, how can it be an illusion.
"No, when Uncle Ke died, I happened to be out of the country, and I didn't attend Uncle Ke's funeral, so you have always hated me until now, haven't you. ”
Qiao Yiyue looked directly into Ke Linyu's eyes, and her eyes were full of mist, and she didn't know if it was water vapor or tears.
Her tone was firm enough to be heard, and there was no reason to be suspicious.
But Ke Linyu was very disappointed, let go of her hand angrily, left everything, and walked out.
Qiao Yiyue stood in a daze for a while, the sprinkler writhed on the ground, hitting Qiao Yiyue's foot, and she came back to her senses.
She stepped forward, closed the bathroom door, and hurriedly took a shower, letting the water flush directly over her face.
The tears finally couldn't hold back, three years ago, she did a very stupid thing, and she will never forgive herself in this life.
When Qiao Yiyue came out of the shower, she found that Ke Linyu had already gone out.
There was a note written on the bedside: I didn't tell Xiaobin about the matter between us, he treats you as his own sister, whether you want to say it or not, it's up to you to decide.
Qiao Yiyue pinched the note and read it several times, but she couldn't tell what it was like in her heart.
Her brother would pick her up in the evening, but she couldn't wait to visit the children at the orphanage.
The original clothes were wet, Qiao Yiyue had to take out the clothes she had worn, but when she opened the wardrobe, she saw that there were already several sets of clothes hanging inside.
Qiao Yiyue couldn't hide her joy, took out a piece of clothing and looked at it, the size and style were more suitable for her, she didn't expect Xiaobin to be so caring, and she cared so much about him.
She chose a more casual outfit, endured the pain in her feet, and went out early to buy toys for the children.
Coming to this familiar and unfamiliar city again, Qiao Yiyue's mood was very different.
In the past, she always wanted to finish her credits early and return to China earlier.
She really couldn't eat hot tofu in a hurry, causing her to miss a lot of beautiful scenery.
As soon as she arrived at the mall, she was dazzled by the dazzling array of goods, so many toys, I don't know what the children like more?
I haven't seen each other for more than half a year, will they forget me?
Will she think I'm a big liar and haven't visited her for so long?
Qiao Yiyue frowned worriedly, and suddenly remembered that he didn't bring any money, what kind of consumption did he take!
She patted her head hard, and scolded herself, what a pig brain, how to be in a trance.
took out his mobile phone and wanted to call his brother for help, thinking that he still had homework and didn't want to disturb him.
Call Ke Linyu?
No, she didn't want Ke Linyu to know about this matter.
Fortunately, she still has friends in the United States, but I don't know if she can get a call from her at this point in time.
The bell rang for a long time, and just when Qiao Yiyue was about to give up, the other party connected the phone.
Xing Xing, Qiao Yiyue's best friend in the United States.
However, Qiao Yiyue graduated ahead of schedule, and Xing Xing is still studying.
"Have you come to the United States?" Xing Xing forgot to change his words for a while and asked in English.
Qiao Yiyue was stunned and said with a smile: "It seems that in the days when I am not there, you don't have much chance to speak Mandarin." But how do you know I'm in the United States?"
"I don't know your personality yet, when you're fine, you don't have to make a phone call for a year, and now you suddenly call me, either you come to the United States, or you can't get along after returning to China, so you can only come back to me, no matter what the situation is, I guessed right. ”
Xing Xing analyzed it in an orderly manner, but in fact, she learned from Qiao Xiaobin's mouth that Qiao Yiyue, this guy, came to the United States, and he didn't tell her for the first time, he was angry!
"Your crooked reasoning is still so clear-minded. Qiao Yiyue commented with a smile, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, Xing Xing is still the same Xing Xing, but Qiao Yiyue is no longer the Qiao Yiyue of the past.
She wanted Xing Xing to explain the reason for her call, but Xing Xing didn't say a word and immediately rushed over.
"Why are you buying so many children's toys?" Xing Xing asked puzzled.
Qiao Yiyue and her, both of them had bags full of bags, but Qiao Yiyue seemed to be still searching.
"Of course, it's for children, so don't ask, just walk around with me. ”
However, she really didn't know what to choose for her, and she was still so young that she probably didn't remember the promise between the two of them.
Looking at the time, Qiao Yiyue gave up the desire to continue shopping.
She took all the bags from Xing Xing's hands and thanked Xing Xing again, "I'm really lucky to have you today, I'll give you the money back next time." ”
"What are you talking about, Qiao Yiyue, I Xing Xing has nothing else, just a lot of money, my dad, the nouveau riche, can't wait to bury me with money, I'm worried that I have nowhere to spend it. ”
Xing Xing suddenly sighed, she always laughed at herself that her father was an upstart, without a little culture, all day long, she knew how to talk about money, money, money.
Her qualifications are limited and not suitable for learning design at all, but her father wants her to study architectural design, saying that the domestic real estate industry is very good, her son learns management and helps run the company, and her daughter learns design, so she will not worry about the company's good development in the future.
Xing Xing was very depressed, why didn't she let her brother come to learn design, when she was interning, she ran to the construction site every day, and she was about to peel off her skin.
The elder brother who studied management is not a serious business, and he was able to spend all the pocket money given by his father, and he often came to ask her to borrow money, I really don't know what he did with all the money.
No matter how good she is in her studies, she can guarantee a smooth graduation, and her eldest brother is estimated to continue to take the make-up exam, I'm afraid she won't be able to finish her studies.
Thinking of these shitty things, Xing Xing looked melancholy, if only her eldest brother could be so well-behaved and obedient as Qiao Yiyue's younger brother.
"Xing Xing, I still have very important things to do, so let's go first, and I'll go to your school to find you in the evening. ”
"Eh, Qiao Yiyue, you ......"
Xing Xing came back to her senses and saw Qiao Yiyue stop a taxi, and before she finished speaking, Qiao Yiyue got into the car.
Be ungrateful, ungrateful, I shouldn't have helped you.
"Xing Xing, give me a little more money, I still have to use it on the road. Qiao Yiyue lowered the car window and stretched out her hand to ask Xing Xing for money.
"Hey, okay Qiao Yiyue, I'll ......" Xing Xing opened his wallet angrily, gave all the cash in it to Qiao Yiyue, and handed over one of his credit cards, "The password is my birthday, but if you can't remember it, then I can't help it." ”
Qiao Yiyue took it and said, "Thank you, my Xing'er, it's good to have a rich friend like you." ”
Xing Xing was angry and laughed, she became Qiao Yiyue's mobile wallet.
However, forget it, she has never asked Qiao Yiyue about her private affairs, and between friends, there is still a bit of moderation, too intimate, but it is easy to cause conflicts.
The taxi started, drove for an hour, and came to the Smile Welfare Home.
When the dean saw Qiao Yiyue, he happily ran forward and said in English, "Yue, I thought I recognized the wrong person." ”
"I'm sorry Dean, it's all because I'm too selfish, and I want to go back to China, and I ruthlessly leave everything here. Qiao Yiyue hugged the dean and refused to let go for a long time.
"It's not your fault, Yue, you don't have to apologize, you said that you will come back after returning to China to deal with things, aren't you coming back. ”
The dean patted Qiao Yiyue's back and comforted him gently.
"But, I messed things up, completely messed up. Qiao Yiyue said uncomfortably, hating her incompetence very much.
"Yue, what's going on, if you are willing to talk to me, I will listen patiently. The dean touched Qiao Yiyue's head and smiled gently.
Qiao Yiyue greedily enjoyed the warmth from the dean, she disguised herself and wore a mask of hypocrisy every day, which was really uncomfortable.
But what did the child who didn't have the opportunity to come into this world do wrong? Why deprive him of the chance to be born!
She's already been hit like this, so why do it to her a second time!
The dean took Qiao Yiyue to the lounge, deliberately avoiding the children, lest they see Qiao Yiyue's depressed expression and worry together.
"He doesn't love me at all, and I want to go back to China to help him consolidate his position in the Shengtian Group, but he doesn't care. Grandpa wanted the two of us to get married as soon as possible, and I meanly had sex with him, trying to force him to marry me sooner. ”
Speaking of these things, Qiao Yiyue held her forehead painfully, regretting why she was so radical in the first place.
"Don't you two have a marriage contract? I heard from Xiaobin, he has been waiting for your marriage news, saying that he will return to China when the time comes, and he may not be able to come here for a while. ”
Qiao Yiyue nodded and explained: "I have a marriage contract with him, but now it has been canceled, and he has the woman he loves." ”
Regarding how Lu Lu designed to frame her, Qiao Yiyue didn't want to mention more.
She also governed her body in the way of others, and she was not much nobler than Lu Lu.
It's just sad in my heart, seeing the dean so kind and kind, my heart can't help but soften, and I have the urge to talk.
"I couldn't save my baby, I quarreled with him, he hit me, I fell, the baby was gone. ”
Qiao Yiyue said with a dull look in his eyes, just one sentence, but it was worrying.
The dean looked surprised, then showed a sad look, and hugged Qiao Yiyue again, "Yue, the child has gone to heaven, he will look at his mother in heaven, he must not want to see his mother unhappy." ”
"I know the dean, but when I think that I failed to protect him, I think that he didn't believe me, that he beat me, but what I hate the most is myself. ”
I wandered for more than ten days, and my food, clothing, housing and transportation were very simple, and I even often went to the bakery to get expired bread to eat.
The doctor said that with a body like hers, there was no way to give birth to a healthy baby!
She really hated herself to death, and she was like this, and she couldn't give birth to a healthy baby, why did God torture her like this.
Qiao Yiyue asked herself that she had never done anything hurtful before this, she didn't want to hurt anyone's interests, she just wanted to be with her beloved, have a son and a half daughter, and live happily together as a family.
But three years ago, when she found out that she was pregnant, the wheel of fate seemed to be moving towards tragedy.
Qiao Yiyue told Grandpa Ke about her pregnancy for the first time.
Grandpa Ke was very happy and hoped that she would suspend her studies and return to China immediately.
It was Qiao Yiyue who was unwilling, she thought, since they had already come here to study, they had to have a beginning and an end.
Moreover, she doesn't want to stand by Ke Linyu's side because of the child in her belly, she hopes that she is enough to match him and become his partner in life and work.
It was she who was too greedy, which led to the tragedy that followed......
While she went to school, she was looking forward to the arrival of the baby in her belly.
However, she has never been a mother, and even if she is taken care of by a nanny specially arranged by her grandfather, she still went wrong during her pregnancy.
During the prenatal checkup, the doctor said that her physical fitness was not good, because she sat in front of the computer all the year round to draw pictures, lacked exercise, and her physical fitness was very bad.
In addition, this child came when Ke Linyu was drunk, and he was not healthy.
"Miss Qiao, you can now make a decision whether or not you want to continue to conceive this child. ”
Qiao Yiyue couldn't believe what she heard, this was her child, of course she had to continue to conceive!
"Before the third month of pregnancy, you can choose to have a self-abortion, and your child will be more than three months in a few days, and for the protection of your health, it will restrict abortion......"
The doctor continued, so indifferent, as if he wasn't talking about a life.
"I won't want this child!"
Qiao Yiyue angrily stopped the doctor's words, took his bag, and left the hospital in a hurry.
But the news did not hide from Grandpa Ke's ears and eyes, and soon, Grandpa Ke called and talked to Qiao Yiyue for a long time.
The meaning is roughly that she is still very young, and the child will still have it, since it has been determined that this child is unhealthy, why bother to let this child come to this world to suffer, in the end, the child will resent his parents when he grows up.
Grandpa Ke asked her to get rid of the child as soon as possible.
Qiao Yiyue pursed her lips stubbornly, her hand holding the phone trembled slightly, and she said, "Grandpa, this is the child of the Ke family, your grandson or granddaughter, can you really bear to deprive him of the right to come to this world like this?"
"It is precisely because the child in your womb is the child of my Ke family that you should not be born!" Grandpa Ke's tone suddenly became indifferent.
Qiao Yiyue was stunned in her heart, Grandpa Ke had never spoken to her so fiercely.
Grandpa Ke realized that his emotions were too excited, and immediately eased down, and explained with a smile: "Grandpa especially hopes that you and Linyu can get married as soon as possible, the two of you will grow Shengtian Group together, a congenitally deficient child, this is a shame that the Ke family can't bear, if you insist on giving birth to this child, the entire Nanhua City will poke at the backbone of the Ke family and laugh at us." ”
"Grandpa, even if the child in my belly will have congenital deficiencies, but we can find a way to cure him, the doctor didn't say that the child has no normal possibility, can't we let him come to this world to take a look?"
Qiao Yiyue said sadly, because he was afraid that others would laugh at the Ke family for having a congenitally deficient child, so he killed the chance of this child being born.
This is simply ridiculous!
"Yiyue, you have always listened to grandpa's words the most, grandpa will not harm you, believe grandpa, do this for your good, for the good of the child, for the good of Linyu, and even for the good of the entire Ke family. ”
"Grandpa, maybe he's going to be a healthy kid, we're ......"
"Yiyue, this matter is so decided, while the days are still short, go for an abortion, it will not hurt your body so much, be good, listen to grandpa, you are still very young, you and Linyu will still have a child, a healthy child. ”
At that moment, Qiao Yiyue was really painful, she didn't dare to go against Grandpa Ke's wishes in person, once there was a head-on conflict, the consequences would be unimaginable.
……
"Yue, there is no right or wrong in emotional matters, don't hate anyone, especially don't hate yourself, you're so stupid, I feel very distressed when I look at it. ”
The dean stroked Qiao Yiyue's head distressedly, as if comforting a child.
"It's me who has always been obsessed with letting him marry me, so it led to a series of things later, if I decisively let go when I learned that he already had a beloved woman, my child would not be ......"
Qiao Yiyue suddenly fell into endless self-blame, and she was in pain.
"The children miss you so much, I'll take you to meet them. The dean proposed that he hoped that the children's laughter could soothe the grief in Qiao Yiyue's heart.
Qiao Yiyue nodded.
"Don't let the kids see you're unhappy, or they'll cry with you. The dean took out a handkerchief and helped Qiao Yiyue wipe away her tears.
Qiao Yiyue and the dean came to the classroom together, and the children were in groups of three or five, some were playing house, some were playing chess, some were building blocks, and some were reading.
There was only one child who was special, sitting alone in the children's chair, looking out the window without saying a word.
She looks like she is no more than two or three years old, but the depth in her eyes makes people can't believe that she is a three-year-old girl.
When the children saw Qiao Yiyue coming, they dropped the toys in their hands and rushed up.
"Sister Yue, you haven't come to see us for a long time. ”
"Sister Yue, you promised to buy me toys last time, what about my toys?"
"Sister Yue, I miss you so much. ”
The children surrounded Qiao Yiyue, and several children directly hugged her legs, making her unable to move.
She was also happy, and she was happy when she saw the smiles on the children's faces.
These children are all outcasts.
But Qiao Yiyue kept telling them, don't resent your parents, they at least gave you the opportunity to come to this world, but they were temporarily separated from you because of unavoidable reasons.
Moreover, the Smile Welfare Home is their home, and the director is their mother.
"I've bought you a lot of gifts, they're all there, go and pick them, there's something for everyone. ”
After Qiao Yiyue finished speaking, the children all let go of her and ran to the toy.
It seems that toys are more attractive.
Qiao Yiyue looked at the backs of the children running, and a bright smile spread on her face, the children's time should be so beautiful.
However, Nami has no interest in toys, and it can even be said that Nami has no interest in anything around her.
Such a young child, but with autism, is unwilling to communicate with the outside world, at the end of the day, the most he does is to sit alone in a daze.
Qiao Yiyue took the gift she bought for Nami and slowly came to Nami's side.
She crouched down and followed Nami's gaze to look out the window.
Outside the window is a fence, painted in a plain gray-blue.
It is said that blue is melancholy, and Nami loves this wall so much, I don't know if it's because of this gray-blue color, or because it's a wall.
"Why don't you take her to the yard to sit for a while?" Qiao Yiyue asked.
The dean showed a look of embarrassment, pursed his lips, and shook his head at Qiao Yiyue.
Nami has been in a bad mood lately, often getting angry, and when eating, she overturns her own plate and overturns the plate of other friends.
So, today, the other friends are not very afraid to approach Nami.
The dean had already called a psychiatrist to communicate with Nami, but the psychiatrist was hindered again, and it was the first time she had encountered such a person who had nothing to do for her in her ten years of practice.
"I don't think there's anything wrong with Nami at all, so the psychiatrists can't figure it out. Qiao Yiyue said.
She always believes that Nami is the same as an ordinary child.
"I hope so. ”
"Nami, look, what is this, this is the music box I bought just for you Oh, look, it will make sound. Qiao Yiyue opened the music box, which is a music box in the shape of a phone booth, as soon as the door of the phone booth is opened, the music will automatically remember.
However, Nami was unmoved, still staring blankly at the wall outside the window.
On the outer wall, the dean didn't dare to spend it, and in order to let Nami see more rich and wonderful content, she deliberately painted on the wall herself.
But who knows, when Nami saw it, the whole person went crazy, but she didn't cry, she just stared at the window and kept knocking on the window, as if she wanted to knock it out.
"You have worked hard to take care of so many poor children, Dean. Qiao Yiyue got up and couldn't help but sigh.
The dean smiled and shook her head, she didn't feel the contrary, she felt that it was going soon, and the happiness of the children was her happiness.
"I'm back this time, are you still leaving?" asked the dean.
Qiao Yiyue frowned, but her eyes were extremely firm, and said, "Let's go, but I promise, I will definitely come back as soon as possible." ”
