Qiao Ying hates Zhang Yeting so much, the turning point between the two from lovers to enemies should be here.

Qiao Shen nodded, and his angry face suddenly fell, becoming indifferent, but more helpless.

He said in a deep voice: "Zuo Yiming promised him that after graduating in the future, he could stay in his laboratory and work, and he would get ahead in the future." But if he were to help my family as a witness, he would have no place in the United States, and even worse, he would have no place in the entire academic world. ”

"Zuo Yiming has been deeply involved in the United States for many years, and he has such strength. The people of the Zhang family don't want to see the son they have cultivated die ......"

The latter words, without Qiao Shen saying it, Pei Xian could also imagine the situation at that time.

Zhang Yeting has struggled for so many years, the people of the Zhang family have spent so much energy, and they have waited for so many years, if they give up for Qiao Ying's affairs, they will definitely be unwilling.

For Zhang Yeting, whether it is his family or himself, he has chosen to save himself.

"If you want to say that I chose to quit in order to save myself, I may understand, at least I won't hate it so much, but Zhang Yeting is a lobbyist for Zuo Yiming, which is equivalent to being an executioner and forcing Qiao Ying to death!"

Qiao Shen clenched his fists again, and his eyes were red.

“…… What can you do if you insist on fighting a lawsuit? You will not be able to win this lawsuit at all. Zuo Yiming has the support of a consortium behind him, and he can get the lawyer to refuse to accept your litigation commission. ”

"Moreover, Zuo Hui is mentally ill, and when the time comes, even if you win this lawsuit, Zuo Hui will go to a psychiatric hospital for forced isolation at most, and Zuo Yiming will lose his qualifications to run. But what have you lost?"

"Is it to let the whole world know what happened to Qiao Ying, let her live in the fingers of others for the rest of her life?"

"Yes, she was a victim of this incident. But for those who don't matter, it's just a conversation point. She didn't do anything wrong, but what else could anyone look at her but sympathy? The last thing people remember is that she was *, and she had an unbearable story. ”

"Zuo Hui ruined her body, but if this matter is made public, it will ruin her spirit and she will not be able to live a normal life in this life, is this what you want to see?"

To this day, Zhang Yeting's words are still in Qiao Shen's mind.

What made the people of the Qiao family give up in the end was Zhang Yeting's last words.

When it happened, it didn't matter whether Zuo Hui had an illness or not. Zo Yiming can get those doctors to "prove" that he is mentally ill.

won the lawsuit, and the final result was just that the beast was sent to a mental hospital, and with Zuo Yiming's power, he would soon be able to get Zuo Hui out.

What he lost was just a campaign opportunity, but for Qiao Ying, what he lost was her entire life.

After that, Qiao Shen knew for the first time what power meant.

Zhang Yeting would rather blind his conscience and betray his lover than become a lackey of power, which shows how tempting power is......

Qiao Ying's incident made the entire Qiao family change dramatically.

“…… My parents, who received compensation from the Zuo family, have become reticent and cowering since they returned from the United States. That thing crushed them. They are no longer omnipotent parents in the eyes of their children, and they are not dependent on ......"

Qiao Ying started to go crazy...... And what I can do is to protect them as much as possible......"

Qiao Shen finished saying all the experience, and raised his eyes to look at Pei Xian deeply. His lips moved slightly, and then he said, "Now that you know the truth, are you still curious?"

Pei Xian's fingers were clenched tightly, and his joints turned white.

Is this the truth?

The truth that the Qiao family worked so hard to bury was enough to crush everyone's truth......

Pei Xian was shocked and speechless for a long time.

Justice cannot be served, and the happiness of those who are driven mad by humiliation is shattered, and they no longer dare to hope for extravagance.

Pei Xian's eyes froze, looking ahead.

Qiao Shen said: "Whether it is your snooping* or pity her, please be merciful, don't mention it in front of her, and don't mention it in front of others." ”

The reason why Qiao Shen said it all at this time was because he hoped that Pei Xian would not delve further, because he would reveal Qiao Ying's scars sooner or later.

If, after knowing this, he could not mind her past and be willing to protect her, he would be grateful.

She stayed up until this point, and every breath was exhausted.

"If you can't protect her, if you can't afford it, don't look for her again, this is also a mercy to her. ”

Qiao Shen used two kindnesses in a row, which shows the weight of his tone.

After this day, it took Pei Xian two days to digest this matter, but he didn't go to Qiao Ying immediately, and Qiao Shen didn't mention it in front of Qiao Ying.

It was as if the wind had blown through the ears, and nothing had happened.

Time passed unhurriedly, and in the middle of December, a first snow arrived, and the temperature entered freezing.

Qiao Ying got off work and walked out of the clinic.

A door, inside the door is like spring, outside the door is bitterly cold. As soon as the door opened, a blast of cold air rushed into his face, and the exhaled breath was a white mist.

The sky is dark, and the snow particles that fall seem to be coated with a layer of light in the light, and they fall quietly, which is beautiful.

Qiao Ying stood stupidly looking at the snow scene, and forgot to walk away.

In a trance, I saw a tall figure approaching step by step. The man was wearing a black tweed coat, and as he walked, his clothes were lifted to reveal a suit of the same color underneath.

Footsteps on a thin layer of snow, imprint footprints one by one.

The snowflakes fell, falling on his shoulders, the black fabric had an extra layer of white, and some of the snowflakes on the clothes turned into small droplets, shining under the light, like a thin layer of diamonds, reflecting a slight light.

Qiao Ying's gaze fell on the blue scarf around his neck, and his heart suddenly contracted, looking at the man who was smiling slightly.

His gaze was gentle, as if he could dissolve the cold of heaven and earth.

The sound of clicking footsteps was calm, and as she got closer and closer to her, Qiao Ying's heartbeat became faster and faster.

He finally stood in front of her and looked down at her: "Isn't it cold to stand?"

Qiao Ying opened her lips and almost suffered from aphasia. She looked at the scarf around his neck, her eyes full of doubt.

"...... this?"

Pei Xian glanced down at the scarf and said, "Don't remember?"

Qiao Ying saw his gentle smile in his eyes, and also saw his deep meaning, she quickly staggered her eyes, and her voice returned to normal.

She said, "What are you doing here?"

Pei Xian turned his head to look at the sky and said, "Of course, I'm looking for you for dinner." ”

There were a few other little nurses behind the door who got off work, and they were stunned when they saw the two people standing at the door, especially after a few more glances at the man, and cast an ambiguous look at Qiao Ying.

Qiao Ying was a little embarrassed, and the little nurses waved their hands and left, and they were faintly heard talking in the wind.

“…… Presumably Dr. Joe's new suitor. ”

"I think I've seen that man's ......"

"But he's so handsome, even more handsome than the one last time......"

"So we have to work harder, so that we can chase after the rich and handsome......"

The voice faded away, Qiao Ying withdrew his gaze, and Pei Xian still had a gentle smile. He grabbed Qiao Ying's wrist and said, "Let's go." ”

Qiao Ying was still stunned, he had already taken her forward, Qiao Ying passively followed behind him, looking at his tall back, and his footsteps couldn't help but follow him.

Time seemed to travel to eight years ago, when he suddenly came to the hospital to find her, took her hand and left.

On that day, it was also snowing like this, the snowflakes were not big, you could see his back clearly, and feel the dryness and warmth of his palms.

"What are you going to eat?"

"Snow is suitable for eating sheep and scorpion hot pot. ”

"Rich people also eat sheep and scorpion hot pot?"

The man stopped and looked back at the woman: "What do you think should be eaten?"

The woman pretended to think, and her eyes were bright: "Hmm...... A sheep scorpion with platinum?"

The man laughed, his dark eyes like a handful of stars.

That day, they established a relationship, and she became his girlfriend, and they stuck together greasy and crooked when they had nothing to do.

And at this time......

Qiao Ying's footsteps stopped, and Pei Xian turned around: "What's wrong?"

Qiao Ying twitched her hand, but didn't struggle, she could feel his tightening fingers tightly around her wrist.

Qiao Ying sighed lowly, and the other one held him, looked at him and said, "Let it go." ”

Her voice was low, as if she were many years old, with a desolation in it.

Eight years ago, she was just a person sleeping in a dream, forgetting the past, so she had such wanton coolness.

The one who has been in a relationship with him has never been the real her......

Pei Xian's brows tightened, and looking at her insistent eyes, he finally let go of his hand and said with a faint smile: "Just accompany me to have a meal, nothing else." ”

Qiao Ying pursed her lips, and Pei Xian pointed to the restaurant in front: "It's in front, let's go." ”

Qiao Ying turned her head to see the hot pot restaurant with a paulownia signboard, I don't know if it was his gentle smile, or the aroma wafting in the wind, or the resistance in her heart temporarily failed, she actually forgot to insist.

When she arrived at the store, when the warm air surrounded her, she suddenly came back to her senses, looked at the waiter who enthusiastically handed the menu, Qiao Ying couldn't go out of the door again, so she sat down.

Pei Xian ordered the lamb scorpion hot pot soup, and sketched a lot of side dishes, Qiao Ying just drank tea in silence.

It's just an ordinary hot pot restaurant, there are a lot of customers, coming and going, and naughty children running around in the store and being carried back by their parents.

Pei Xian glanced at her and said, "Do you want fruit or ice cream?"

Ordinary hot pot restaurants are more interesting than high-end restaurants, with fruit salad and ice cream desserts, Pei Xian remembers that Qiao Ying took both fruit salad and ice cream at that time.

"If you don't eat for nothing, you don't eat for nothing, and the most important thing is to go in with the wall and come out with the wall. ”

As a result, on that day, the two of them helped each other out with the smell of hot pot all over their bodies.

Qiao Ying thought back to that day, her eyes flickered slightly, she was silent, and shook her head: "No need, just eat whatever you want." ”

After a while, the clerk came over with a small cart, and the side dishes were filled around the copper stove in the middle.

Compared to the bustle of the other tables, this table is exceptionally quiet. The two of them have outstanding looks and outstanding temperaments, and many guests from other tables look here. The two of them seemed to be completely undisturbed by the excitement around them, and finished eating quietly.

Pei Xian picked up the scarf on the back of the chair, and when he was about to get up, a little child ran over, and the ice cream in his hand suddenly knocked over on the scarf, Pei Xian's fingers were cold, he looked at the piece of chocolate color, and his brows tightened.

The child didn't know what was wrong, and when he turned around and was about to get another one, Pei Xian grabbed him: "Apologize!"

His calm face was very serious, and the little boy knew that he was scared, and he cried with a wow.

This attracted the attention of most people in the store, and the child's parents came over and saw their child crying sadly, and said unhappily to Pei Xian: "What's the matter with you bullying a small child by a big man, isn't it just a scarf, what's the big deal?"

If it was usual, Pei Xian would forget it, but at this time he was on the fire, especially these days, he was holding back a fire, and it all came out at this time, he said: "This scarf was given by my girlfriend, I asked him to apologize What's wrong, should you?"

Seeing that more people were looking over, the woman took care of it, pouted, and patted her son's head: "Stinky boy, let you run around, annoying people, right?"

She scolded and pulled her son to his seat, but still did not apologize.

Pei Xian walked over to investigate, but Qiao Ying grabbed her arm, Pei Xian stopped and looked down at her slender fingers, Qiao Ying quickly withdrew her hand.

She pursed her lips and said lightly: "Forget it, it's an old one, and if it's dirty, just throw it away." ”

With that, she walked out of the store.

Pei Xian looked at her back for a moment, and then raised his heel.

Her back was in the light and shadow, and she seemed even more lonely, as if the excitement around her had nothing to do with her.

Pei Xian took a breath and stepped forward. He took a few steps past her and lay across in front of her, the scarf he was clutching slightly.

He grabbed her wrist, didn't let her break free this time, pulled her into a dry cleaner, then put the scarf in front of the boss and said, "Wash it for me." ”

His face was murderous, and the boss was startled, thinking that he had come to rob.

There are many dry cleaning clothes and scarves that are sent in winter, but they must be expensive and luxurious. But the scarf in front of me, not to mention the crooked stitches, looks like it has been many years.

Another time someone came to dry clean with such a scarf, and the boss said: "It will take two days to dry clean, and the day after tomorrow will come and get it." ”

Pei Xian stood still and said, "I'm going to wash me now." ”

The boss was stunned for a moment, and wanted to say that this had to be numbered, but it could be seen that the man's face was gloomy, and he seemed to be a bad person to mess with, so he had to take it and wash it according to his words.

Pei Xian spent time here with Qiao Ying, waiting until the scarf was washed and sent out.

Pei Xian checked it carefully, and saw that there was no stain at all, so he glanced back at Qiao Ying, walked in front of her, picked it up and showed her, and said, "It's dirty, you can wash it." ”

Qiao Ying's lips squirmed slightly, and she raised her eyes to look at the man.

His gaze was the same, still insisting.

Gradually, Qiao Ying's gaze began to blur, and her throat rolled several times, wanting to say something, but she was afraid that she would choke in her throat and not be able to say anything.

Before tears could fall from her eyes, she turned and ran out.

Pei Xian quickly caught up with her, pressed her in his arms, and no matter how she struggled, he didn't let go.

He heard her whimpering and sobbing as she buried herself in his chest, and his heart ached even more.

He didn't know anything, didn't know that she had endured so much alone.

He complained that she was ruthless and had no conscience, but she didn't want to disturb him.

She just wanted him to remember the beautiful and intelligent woman, not a man with a broken soul.

He touched her hair again and again, and said, "I broke up with Yan Ling, so you don't have anyone else, and I don't have anyone else......"

“……”

"What is past is gone, I don't need to go home to inherit the throne, it's not as complicated as you think. ”

“……”

In the air, he was answered by the sound of sobbing overflowing from desperate patience.

Qiao Ying listened to his gentle voice, as smart as her, how could she not understand what he was trying to express tonight?

He knows everything, he knows everything......

Qiao Ying buried her face in his arms, the good smell on his body, and his warmth made her even more sad and aggrieved. All the depression and all the grief over the years have been vented, and I cried hoarsely.

Why did she have to wait so long to meet him?

How nice it would be if it was him in the first place?

If she had never started with Zhang Yeting, if she hadn't gone to the United States, if she hadn't gone to that tutoring, how good would it be......

……

Qiao Ying had a high fever, once it burned to forty degrees, her whole body was hot, and she kept talking nonsense in a daze.

Pei Xian held her mobile phone in one hand and held a cold towel to cool her down.

“…… She's here with me and I'll take care of her...... Yes, you don't have to come here......"

After notifying Qiao Shen, Pei Xian hung up the phone and looked at the woman who was caught in the nightmare, his brows tightly twisted. She was trembling, and her fingers unconsciously tried to pull out the needle.

At this time, they were in Pei Xian's villa, and Pei Xian called the doctor to come over and put a drip on her.

Qiao Ying suddenly fainted on the road, and Pei Xian later found out that she had actually been suffering from a fever, and had been burning for a few days.

She seemed to dream of the past again, and moved uneasily, Pei Xian pressed her arm to prevent her from hurting herself.

He lifted the quilt and lay down, holding her by his side, and she quieted down a little.

"Pei Xian ......"

"Pei Xian ......"

Her hoarse voice called out to him over and over again, grabbing his clothes, fragile and helpless like a lost child.

It was not only Zuo Hui and Zuo Yiming who ruined Qiao Ying, but also Zhang Yeting.

Pei Xian hugged her tightly, and wanted to kill Zhang Yeting with hatred, if it was him, he would never let his woman teach others.

Zhang Yeting betrayed his friends to seek glory, he was simply not a man, and with that pair of scissors, Qiao Ying was stabbed lightly.

"Don't cry, no one will hurt you again......"

Qiao Ying's body temperature gradually dropped, and when she was half-asleep and half-awake, she felt the warmth around her and subconsciously hugged him.

I don't know how long it took, she slowly opened her eyes and realized that she was lying in Pei Xian's arms, and was slightly stunned.

Consciousness gradually returned, she came to her senses, and a coolness spread from the bottom of her heart.

She didn't deserve his warmth.

But the quietness at this time, the warmth at this time, is what she is looking for in her dreams. Her greedy gaze slid across his eyebrows, the bridge of his nose, and the sound of his steady breathing in the air, just as before.

But in the end, it was different, all those years with him, but she had a long, beautiful dream.

The sourness filled the bottom of his heart, realizing that he couldn't be so greedy anymore, Qiao Ying left lightly, not even wearing shoes in order not to wake him up.

But in fact, the moment she got up, Pei Xian woke up.

He didn't alarm her, he didn't dare to push her too hard.

Her wound is too deep, how can it be healed in a few hours in a few words?

He has been prepared for a long time, whether she refuses, she accepts it best, and the days will eventually smooth out her scars in this grind.

……

Qiao Ying came home in the middle of the night, and Qiao Shen saw the lights on in her room, and knew that she was back.

He put on his coat and knocked on the door, Qiao Ying opened the door and said to him, "You told him?"

Qiao Shen did not deny it and said: "He sent someone to the United States to investigate, sooner or later he will know everything." ”

"Sister, he-"

"Qiao Shen, I don't want to drag anyone down anymore. Qiao Ying interrupted him, "I don't want others to bear the bitter fruit together." ”

Qiao Shen frowned in disagreement, and he said, "Sister, it's never your fault. Are you going to carry it for the rest of your life because it's not your fault?"

"Those who are not wrong are being punished, and those who are wrong are enjoying glory and wealth, what is the truth?"

Qiao Ying pulled her lips and smiled bitterly, she had no way to answer.

Reality told her that the world is so cruel that there is no reason to talk about it.

She said: "If I have an adventure, if I can also earn a piece of the sky, I will definitely leave Zuo Yiming with nothing." Anyone who is on the same page as him will also be punished. ”

"But what is left in front of me now is trouble, Zuo Yiming is still alive, and now he, as long as he moves his fingers, it will be as simple as pinching an ant to death like he did back then. ”

"I'm useless myself, so let Pei Xian charge for me?

"He has the Pei family, and he is also the pride of the Pei family, why should he dye me dirty?"

Pei Xian has flowed this muddy water, it is possible to catch the entire Pei family, she does not have that face.

To be a human being, you must have a sense of shame.

Zhang Yeting knew how to protect herself back then, why did she let the innocent Pei Xian be hurt for her instead?

At the mention of Zuo Yiming, Qiao Shen remembered something and said, "The people over there, why have they stopped recently?"

Although Qiao Ying persuaded Zhang Yeting not to compete for Lian Liang anymore, isn't there still a dogleg? That's not a peaceful person.

Qiao Ying furrowed her eyebrows, and she also felt strange. Now that the wind and waves are calm, there is a feeling that the wind and rain are coming.

Qiao Ying looked out the window. The night was thick, and the snow in the sky was still drifting, much bigger, and fluttering like a floc.

Qiao Shen said: "Could it be that Zuo Yiming is dying and has no strength to command this side?"

Qiao Shen had better Zuo Yiming die violently, and hoped that he would be tortured and not die so easily.
