Chapter 242: The Contract of Love
"It's not that I can't bear to listen to you. Really, your level of storytelling is really hard to compliment. When it should be sensational, it is not sensational enough, and the place that should be touched by is the same as the old lady's footcloth, which is smelly and long. I didn't even understand what you were talking to me about. If you really just want to move me, I'm sorry, I'm not in such a mood at all. Cao Yingying said dissatisfied, like a Chinese teacher criticizing a headless student's composition.
Xiao Zijun shook his head slowly, chewed the gum in his mouth a few more times, and said, "I'm really not a storyteller. But, I really didn't want to move you anything. I never need, nor do I have any compassion for me. If you're still willing to listen to me, you'll soon know how much my stepmother has influenced me. I can say that she is the most important person in my life, she taught me the most authentic things, she gave me everything I am today. ”
Cao Yingying's face was suspicious at first, her brows furrowed slightly, and she said, "If you can speak more directly, I may be able to listen to it." ”
Xiao Zijun was a little honored, nodded and smiled with Cao Yingying, and then said, "My stepmother can be regarded as an unfortunate woman.
"The first one was divorced, the second, of course, my father, died within a few years, and the third, after half a year, found out that it was a mental illness again. I don't know why, one evening, this psycho jumped off the building.
"That day, I stayed with her all night. I really wanted her to chase me away as usual, but she sat there all night, as if she had been infected, and she had become mentally ill.
Of course, there is nothing wrong with her spirit, but her attitude towards life has changed greatly. It was really from that night that she had a resolute expression on her face. Unusually resolute, a man with a strong backbone!
"I have never seen such fortitude in anyone's face except in her face.
After that, she married four old men in a row. At that time, she was only in her thirties. Although he is not pretty, he is still in the middle and upper class.
"These four old men, the only thing they are the same, are the ones who are about to enter the coffin.
If she doesn't have such conditions, she won't read anything, and if she has this condition, she must also tear off a marriage certificate.
A discerning person can see at a glance what she is for, but there is always an old man who is willing, Ming, and treats each other as nannies, but secretly, they have become husband and wife.
"After becoming husband and wife, my stepmother will also become a vampire, and will soon dry up the old man. That's the result of every night's fuss.
"These old men!
"At most for half a year, at least three or two months, after sending the old man away, my stepmother began a battle for property. Some old men served her well, so they simply left a will and gave her all their property.
"From the four old men, she received the most important fortune of her life. Although she endured all kinds of white eyes and criticism in the competition with the old man's children, she never wavered in the slightest.
With this wealth, she was able to support her boy's education and find a decent job as a childcare worker.
In fact, she still wants to keep doing it, but the endless competition for property has made her face and body age prematurely.
"She's getting to the point where she needs someone else to take care of her.
She gave all the three properties she got from the four old men to her boys, and only kept part of the pension money, and the year before last, she lived alone in the old people's apartment.
"I went to see her. I asked her if it wasn't worth it to do so many unfortunate things and bear endless infamy just for other people's property. She didn't say a word, just laughed, and smiled so proudly.
"You may not believe it, I look like a guilty person, in fact, I have also been a volunteer in a nursing home,—— you don't think that I am doing this to atone for some sins, I volunteer, I have an unusual personal purpose. And what is the purpose of this, in other words, I'm afraid it's off topic again, so I won't talk about it.
"The reason why I talk about my volunteer work is to explain to you that there are so many elderly people I have met.
"It's just that, no matter what they've done in their lives, even if they think they've done something beneficial to humanity, none of them smile with pride like my stepmother.
"My stepmother's real business is to give her boy a life of good conditions. As it turned out, she succeeded. Her boy had already married a beautiful wife and had a family of his own. It's not that she has created such a considerable fortune for her boys, her boys, really useless.
"I was, and I was afraid that one day I would regret my actions, but from my stepmother, I saw that no matter what I did, as long as I agreed with my heart, I could have the last laugh."
Cao Yingying, especially in Xiao Zijun's last sentence, felt the chill that would not be there in thirty-nine days!
"Done?" Cao Yingying asked as easily as possible, but her body couldn't help but shiver.
Xiao Zijun nodded and said, "I'm done." ”
"That's why you're doing whatever it takes?" Cao Yingying asked again.
Xiao Zijun nodded again and said, "This is the reason why I am unscrupulous." ”
"But the only thing I hear is your pathetic and shameful!" When Cao Yingying said "sad and shameful", she gritted her teeth again.
"Miss Cao is wrong." Xiao Zijun said, took off his toad sunglasses, revealing his eyes that were already gloomy, "Ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign, but all people who have achieved things have such a commonality - unscrupulous means." The kindness of a woman, in the end, will only leave a sigh for herself. ”
Cao Yingying still wanted to fight back against the past, but for a while, she couldn't find any powerful words.
The right to speak seems to have been left to Xiao Zijun, and Xiao Zijun also knows that the girl in front of him, who was still domineering at the beginning, is capturing herself little by little and getting into her own trap: "Miss Cao's single-mindedness in feelings is admirable, but Miss Cao's way of dealing with feelings is difficult for me to agree with." Whether Miss Cao believes it or not, none of the girls I fancy are not caught with their hands tied. Chasing girls, there are ways to chase girls, chasing men, and there are ways to chase men. If you don't understand, someone understands, and when you don't bother to use the means, someone is using them carefully. You are still touching the scene, sentimental, and the dish that should have belonged to you has been on someone else's table. ”
Cao Yingying listened quietly, a string in her heart, as if Xiao Zijun's words were neither light nor heavy, and she was plucking back and forth without hurrying.
"The dish that originally belonged to you was on someone else's table......" Especially this last sentence, the aftermath lingered, and it kept penetrating in Cao Yingying's heart.
Xiao Zijun struck while the iron was hot, and continued: "Other people's, you can not fight or grab, but it does not mean that others will not fight or rob yours." You take care of others, you fulfill others, and your sacrifices, especially such emotional sacrifices, are not recognized in the slightest. Such a concession is not your inferiority, but also shows that you don't love deeply enough. ”
Cao Yingying smiled softly, as if, for her own bitterness, and as if she didn't bother to talk about feelings with a man like Xiao Zijun.
- Not loving deep enough? This is already a great insult to Cao Yingying's feelings.
Xiao Zijun also smiled slightly and said, "Miss Cao may think that I, Xiao Zijun, don't know much about love, and Miss Cao may also imagine love very sublime, thinking that true love is not possession." However, I dare to say that if I can't get my beloved, Miss Cao's heart is at least unhappy. Everyone is the only one in this world, and there is really only one Han Haitao in this world. I don't know if there is only one Han Haitao in Miss Cao's heart, if so, Miss Cao must not take it lightly. ”
Cao Yingying felt that the string in her heart was about to be plucked into two sections for Xiao Zijun, and when she hurriedly turned around again, the tears of grievance burst out of her eyes.
"Is Miss Cao crying?" Xiao Zijun asked so seriously, as if he wanted Cao Yingying's emotions to be more intense at the moment.
Cao Yingying was afraid that once she opened her mouth, she would cry out loud, and she didn't dare to answer.
"Maybe," Xiao Zijun opened his mouth again after half a minute, "Miss Cao, my words seem a little heavy." What I hate the most is those noble words of those who think they are righteous men and gentlemen! My life, after my mother's death, was so real that I couldn't breathe through it. Someone has poured me so-called chicken soup for the soul, but, in my case, it's just the same as the water in the sink, just disgusting. I can only say that I am lucky to be alive to this day. ”
Cao Yingying couldn't help it anymore, and said hatefully: "I was unlucky to meet someone like you!" ”
Xiao Zijun smiled generously and said, "Miss Cao, don't talk like this. ”
"Ever since I met you," Cao Yingying said, she sobbed again, "my whole life has changed!" I could have lived in peace! ”
"But your calmness is only your appearance! Your heart, because of what you think and can't get, how can you calm down again? Xiao Zijun shouted, it seems, as long as he gives Cao Yingying a head start.
"No, it's not! No! Cao Yingying also screamed, squatted down, fell on her lap, and cried even more bitterly, "It's not what you said!" ”
"Why deceive yourself?" Xiao Zijun asked with a sigh.
"No, no......" Cao Yingying denied it vigorously, but her voice became weaker and weaker.
Xiao Zijun waited until there was no movement on Cao Yingying's side, and then stepped into the topic again: "If you want to love others, you should learn to love yourself first." Miss Cao, we should all be a contract for love, so let's start more formally from now. As long as Miss Cao does exactly what I want, I can guarantee that he will become Miss Cao's person. ”
