At that moment, I finally realized that I finally knew why Qian Yikang had never mentioned Ma Yike, because he didn't want to publicize his son's scandal in front of JC, he was hiding his fault for his son, and he was protecting his son. Even Qian Yikang, who is heinous to me, has a little bit of fatherly love for his son.

But even if Qian Yikang's little bit of love for his son is the essence of father's love, it can't hide the ugly nature of their father and son.

Dragons give birth to dragons, phoenixes give birth to phoenixes, and the sons of rats will make holes. Indeed, there is a father, and there is a son.

But whether it was because of money that Qian Yikang and his son embarked on this road, or whether their essence was a little degenerate, I don't know.

Is it inevitable that those who are superior in this world will fall?

Does having money breed evil thoughts?

I think maybe so, because there are so many examples of this in this society. But in a sense, I am also a rich second generation who inherited my father's legacy, although I don't think I am very noble, but I can still have a little bit of reason, and I can always restrain myself when those evil thoughts occupy my brain.

That's why I was able to raise Jiaqi for six years.

I don't know if I'm a special case among the countless people, or if I'm an extremist among the countless people who commit crimes, but I don't think I'll ever be a normal person.

Thinking of the scene when I wanted to gently hug Ma Yike that night but was met with fierce resistance from her, I was just guilty and surprised at the time, but now I understand it thoroughly, because of the trauma left by Qian and those people back then, Ma Yike's heart has long left a very thick shadow. Maybe Ma Yike usually looks no different from an ordinary girl, but when she is stimulated, the lingering shadow that remains in the depths of her soul will reoccupy her, making her uncontrollable fear and fear.

And thinking that the person who pursued Ma Yike back then was Qian Yikang's son, Ma Yi may know Qian Yikang, and he has worked in Sanxin Company for a period of time, so it is naturally not surprising.

"It turns out that this is the case, no wonder Ma Yike and Qian Yikang are so familiar...... "Listening to Hu Yulu's description, I have gradually understood the truth and further understood Ma Yike. But at the end of the day, I still can't forgive her for everything she did to me and Jiaqi.

“…… I have already made it clear to her yesterday that I don't want her as a 'nanny' anymore, I have already asked her to go, and I will never come back in the future, I have nothing to do with her, what else do you want to say?"

To put it bluntly, she could have told me in person about such a thing, but why did she still take Qian Yikang's money and leave, running away from me for many days, hiding everything from me, making me suffer so much, and even almost losing my life?

No matter how tragic Ma Yike's past is, how sympathetic she is, but this incident alone, I can't forgive her, I'm not a person without conscience, I also feel sorry for her after listening to her past, but it's the hurdle in my heart, I can't get over it.

I don't think I'll ever be able to do it.

After listening to my words, Hu Yulu just looked at me hesitantly, then took out a stack of money from his shoulder bag, handed it to me, and said to me without saying anything: "This money is what Ma Yike asked me to return to you...... She said that she was sorry for you, so she returned all the money she paid for being a nanny with you for the past year...... Part of the money here is what Ma Yike saved by working in college over the years, and 100,000 is left after Qian Yikang gave it to her, she has no money now, so she can only pay you back so much, she said that as long as she has money in the future, she will definitely find a way to return it to you and Qian Yikang. ”

Seeing the stack of money in Hu Yulu's hand, my heart beat a little faster, especially when I saw that there were several crumpled and soft five-yuan and ten-yuan banknotes in the stack, I was even more moved.

Obviously, as Hu Yulu said, this money is really saved by Ma Yike in the past few years. Looking at the stack of banknotes in front of me, I seem to be able to see the suffering that Ma Yike has suffered in the past few years.

I looked at the money in Hu Yulu's hand, and felt as heavy as the thick stack of banknotes.

But I still don't have money.

"Ma Yike, she has no money, what the hell is going on with her, where is her money spent? Qian Yikang also gave her a lot of money, right?" I asked puzzled. In the final analysis, what disgusted me the most about Ma Yike in this incident was that Ma Yike betrayed me and Jiaqi for Qian Yikang's 150,000 banknotes. Arguably, this is the point that I can't forgive Ma Yike the most.

What else can't a woman who can sell even a child for money?

But Hu Yulu's next answer surprised me.

Hu Yulu said to me with red eyes:

"Don't you know......? It's almost gone. ”

"Huh, her dad is dead...... What's wrong with her dad? isn't it...... What serious illness do you have?" Hu Yulu's words finally made me understand the original reason for all of Ma Yike's actions, and remembered that when I first met Ma Yike, Ma Yike mentioned to me that she had a sick father in bed at home, and I immediately thought of it.

"Well, advanced stomach cancer. Hu Yulu told me with a wetness in her eyes, as if she was holding back her mood swings, "It was checked out at the beginning of this year, when the attending hospital told Ma Yike and told her that her father would not survive until the end of the year." ”

At that moment, my head was as big as a bucket, and I understood everything.

I finally understood why Ma Yike cried inexplicably in the middle of the night, why she was so short of money, why she lowered her status to find a job like a nanny, and why she usually made so much more money doing cross-stitching, and why she did all this for money.

It turns out that this is the truth.

She's for her dad.

With my life ruined and my father seriously ill, I can't imagine why Ma Yike was able to persevere.

If I had just felt a little pity for Ma Yike just now, now I am shocked by her spirit.

Of course, if I really want to talk about it, I still can't completely forgive her.

Yes, for a simple reason.

Her father is a life, so isn't Jiaqi and I a life?

What is it that she can abandon my and Jiaqi's lives for the sake of her loved ones?

"She never told me about her family. I looked at Hu Yulu and said with some indignation, "Her family is like this, what else does she use to repay my money?

"She cried and said to me yesterday...... She will pay you back if she sells harmonious blood and kidneys......" At that time, Hu Yulu told me almost with tears in her eyes, "Mr. Yang, do you know, Ma Yike, she is really sorry for you, she didn't expect things to be like this, and she regrets it too." She cried and told me yesterday that if her dad died, she would sell her kidneys and pay you back, and then ...... Committing suicide, she said that she could no longer live with such a miserable life. At that time, I couldn't convince her at all, so I came to you today, I really have no other way. ”

When I heard this, I was like being hit by five thunderbolts, my whole body was paralyzed, my limbs were stiff, and I couldn't breathe at all.

"Where is Ma Yike now?tell me, tell me!!"

That's why, 10 minutes later, I was running wildly in the corridor of the three-story ward of the People's Hospital, sweating profusely and out of breath.

I ran quickly down the pungent smell of medicine, and the wards on both sides of the corridor swept across me, my eyes only looking for the ward number Hu Yulu had told me, and I had no time to care about the other wards.

313, General Ward.

When I walked to Ward 313, I was already sweating profusely, and there was a window outside the room, because it was not a frosted glass window, so I looked inside as I passed by the room to make sure I didn't remember the room number wrong.

Through the window, which was so polished that I could almost reflect my face, I saw that there were three beds in the ward, each with a bed, and in front of the innermost bed sat two women, a slender middle-aged woman in a homespun coat with rough skin, and a young girl in a blue checkered shirt with beautiful medium-long hair hanging down her shoulders.

I saw the girl at a glance, and I had been together for almost a year, and if I still didn't recognize her, I should be the one lying in the hospital bed now.

Ma Yike sat at the head of the bed in the furthest part, lowered his eyebrows, and was carefully blowing a bowl of something in his hand that he didn't know if it was porridge or soup, and he was bald in front of her, and the whole person did not have a little flesh, and his whole body was thin like the mouth of a brown zombie figure.

Seeing this scene, my heart beat a little faster, and my brain was a little confused, because at that moment I knew that what Hu Yulu told me was accurate.

Ma Yike's father is really terminally ill and can't be saved.

Seeing this scene in the ward through the window, I suddenly didn't want to go in and disturb them, but in the end, I took a deep breath, walked to the door of the ward step by step, opened the door gently, and walked in slowly.

He walked all the way behind Ma Yike.

At that time, I could see clearly the face of the man Ma Yi Ke was feeding, or rather that person no longer looked like a person, the whole person was like a deflated balloon, only a layer of wrinkled brown skin and protruding ribs, there was not a single hair on the blackened head, the eyelids on the two eyes on the face were also half hanging and half open, and only two cloudy eyeballs could be seen through the gap between the almost closed eyelids, and an old towel was wrapped around his thin neck, just in time to catch the soup left from his chin when Ma Yi Ke was feeding。

This person, who could no longer see his human form, was Ma Yike's father.

I stood a meter behind Maike's mother, waiting for Maike to finish feeding her father spoonful by spoonful, and then wiping the soup from his mouth before stepping forward.

"Mayike, I'm here. I said in a low voice, step by step, and by the time I said this, I had already mustered up enough courage.

Because Ma Yike had been feeding very attentively just now, and now she suddenly heard my voice behind her, Ma Yike was really startled, she shook her arms in a panic and turned her head, her tender little mouth opened a little, and her bright eyes just looked at me blankly.

"Eh, you're ......"

Ma Yike looked at me blankly, her expression froze for a second, as if she didn't understand how I came, but finally she suddenly relaxed as if she was deflated, her eyes flickered, her expression became very complicated, she bit her lip, turned her head, and didn't look at it again.

“…… How did you find here, Xiaodong?"

Ma Yike lowered his eyebrows, turned his face sideways, and didn't look at me, just asked me like this.

"Your senior sister, Hu Yulu told me. "I didn't hide it and told Ma Yike the truth.

"Oh, that's right. Ma Yike lowered his face, his hair fell, and he still didn't look at me, "You still found it, you still don't want to let me go, I know ......"

"There's no such thing. Mayike, I'm going to talk to you about it. I stretched out my hand and landed on Ma Yike's shoulder, and when my hand touched it, Ma Yike's whole body trembled, and he raised his head to stare at me, looking at me with complicated eyes.

It was only at this time that a woman's voice with a local accent suddenly came to my ears.

"Eh, who are you, young man, how do you know my Coco?"

I turned my face and saw a middle-aged woman with a yellow face and some vicissitudes of life looking me up and down with wary and complicated eyes.

Obviously, this person is Ma Yike's mother.

Because her eyes and chin are very similar to Ma Yike, as long as Ma Yike stands with her, anyone can recognize it at first sight.

Looking at the middle-aged woman in front of me, I was silent for a moment, and after swallowing a deep mouthful of water, I increased the strength of the hand that was gripping Ma Yike's shoulder.

While feeling Ma Yike's surprised gaze, I smiled at the middle-aged woman in front of me with the friendliest kind smile I could express.

"Ah, hello Auntie, I'm sorry I haven't been here to see you...... Actually, I'm Xiao Ke's boyfriend. ”
